Hey
So I have tried to unplug everything shut my computer down and restart and re plug back in but since I did the Yosemite update on my desktop the only way to connect to the internet is via the Wifi. I already have 5 to 6 other smart phones/ipads/laptops that need the Wifi and adding the desktop is slowing down speeds drastically does anyone else know a different way to get the ethernet back ?
Thanks !
1. Boot to recovery by pressing at the same time and holding down Command+R as soon as you power on your iMac. When you see the Apple Logo you can release.
If you are prompted to choose a language just click the arrow to continue in english.
2. Choose Get Help Online and then click continue.
3. You should get a safari browser and then without connecting to Wi-Fi see if you can load a webpage.
If you can it is a software problem, if not then you will need to have your iMac repaired.
Assuming it is software causing ethernet to not work, you could try going to Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences and moving the SystemConfig folder to trash and rebooting.
Go into the System Preferences and re establish your Internet settings sometimes after a Software update you need to check thing because it will turn them all off.
