I am trying to reinstall my Macbook Air following this instructions: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201376
On step #8, reinstalling the OS, I am getting the information that I am not connected to the internet. I was able to connect to the wifi however I still need to enter the DNS info to connect. That's how the WIFI here was setup.
Any suggestions?
thanks!

I have an old iMac running 10.7.5. I am trying to connect to my Ubuntu file server (running 22.4.1 LTS) to save a huge amount of data before discontinuing the iMac.
Every time I try smb://192.168.1.5, I get "There was an error ... please check the server name or IP address...".
Using the same method and IP address on my Mac mini using MacOS 13.1 gets me connected without issues.
I tried using "cifs://192.168.1.5", but got the same error.
I also tried going to System Settings to turn on File Sharing (although this is for sharing files that are ON the iMac) because I read that turning this off and on might fix this issue. This is not the case.
Since I am not well versed with older Mac systems, I am unsure on how to solve this. Any ideas would be welcome.
When I try connecting to the app store, itunes, etc. it returns an error that says "Unexpected error occured". That's it, nothing else.
I have a virtual machine running Mac OS High Sierra. I am using Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager. I have given my mac environment a "serial number" using VBoxManage setextradata “MacOS High Sierra” VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemSerial "number" When I go to Apple>About this Mac it lists the correct serial number I assigned it too. Before hand, it would just list the serial number as 0.
My question is, how do I connect my mac environment to my apple id for app store, itunes, etc?
I changed the DNS to apples DNS
system prefs>network>advanced
Click + on the DNS entries and add 8.8.4.4
Make sure the ethernet remains green. save. Then reconnect to the appleID. It will still take a little longer to log in but it works.
Resetting the Keychain did the trick for me.
Keychain Access -> Preferences -> Reset default keychains
Then it takes a minute to log in, but does so eventually.
It took me ages, but I finally got my VM with MacOS working. I suggest really to use VMWare. I was stubborn and tried to use Virtualbox but I got no luck at all.
With VMWare I got it fully functional.
I used this code first answer and no errors!

I have spent the better part of a day trying to connect to PAServer on MAC OSX from my Windows PC with no luck. I am not sure what I am missing.
I am using Delphi 10.2 Tokyo on Windows. Trying to connect to PAServer 19.0 on a Mac Mini running macOS Sierra (10.12.4) on which I already have XCode (v8.3.2) installed along with Command Line Tools.
Both the dev machine as well as the Mac Mini are connected to the same Wifi network. I even tried connecting both machines to a different network but with the same issue.
I get the same error message every time that the connection failed. I suspect that it has something to do with the network - where the 2 machines cannot see each other, but I don't know how I can confirm this or resolve it. I have tried to search on SO as well as online but have not found anything that has helped.
Has anyone seen this issue and overcome it? Is there a set of steps I can go thru to troubleshoot this? Any help or guidance would be most appreciated!
OK - I kept trying out different things and was able to solve this issue (one way to solve it I guess).
Because it seemed like it was network related, I tried first to create a hotspot with my phone and connected the dev machine and the Mac Mini to it. The PAServer connection worked.
So I looked for a way to do this via Windows. Here are the steps I followed:
Open Settings > Network & Internet (on Windows 10)
Go into Mobile Hotspot and select Wi-Fi in the Share my
Connection From dropdown
Set a Network name and Network password
Turn on Share my Internet connection with other devices
Now on the Mac, connect to the network name we set up in step 3 and enter the password that was set. Then start PAServer on the Mac. That's it!
Now when you connect from Delphi to PAServer, the connection succeeds.
Note: Interestingly, when I was not using the mobile hotspot method on Windows, the IP address on PAServer (and on Windows) was 10.xx.xx.xx. With the mobile hotspot, the IP address is 192.xx.xx.xx.
I just configured (today) a new macos sierra with paserver. yes it's painfull :(
don't use virtualbox (it's buggy and slow), but use instead VMware, it's work like a charm. it's much more easy to have only one computer to develop than 2. also you can copy/past the log or anythink else from macosx to windows (or vice-versa) in just one click. and you will not have any internet problem or anything else ...
Trying to test a local web app developed on my mac running El Capitan using my iPhone. I'm able to pull up the web app using my internal ip on the actual mac, but when using another device connect to the same network it's not working. This use to work fine on previous versions of osx, but ever since upgrading to El Capitan, this hasn't been working properly.
Any hints or solutions to this problem?
Thanks
I have a website on my Mac running off MAMP. I couldn't connect to it via IP on another computer. I turned off the firewall on the Mac and could connect by just typing in the IP into the address bar. Mine happened to be 192.168.1.69. To get the actual website, I did have to include the port number, i.e 192.168.1.69:8888. Make sure that you are using your private IP, not your public one (should start 192.168.X.X or 10.X.X.X). This worked to connect from another computer and from my phone.
I just installed Genymotion this week on my mac and I installed the VirtualBox app as well. I can get emulators to run periodically but often times they crash unexpectedly or won't open with the following error:
Unable to connect to the virtual device. Genymotion will now close.
Please check VirtualBox network configuration.
For more information please refer to:
https://cloud.genymotion.com/page/faq/#collapse-nostart
Everything I've googled has not worked. The virtual network seems fine. I've tried deleted vm's, creating new ones, nothing seems to solve this problem. It's going to the point where genymotion is unusable on my Mac. Works fine on my windows machine.
BTW, the logs are endless messages that look like this:
