Browsers won't open webpages but internet connection is fine
All of a sudden, neither safari nor firefox will open web pages. However, the computer is connected to the internet. I have tried the network diagnostic and it says everything is fine. I have tried turning airport off and on, same with the computer (even left it overnight) and time capsule. At one point when I turned my computer back on I could get on the web again but the next time I went back to the computer it was the same problem and turning it off and back on did not work that time. I originally could get on-line with my kindle fire just fine (thus I knew it wasn't my network) but on day 2 when it urned my kindle fire on, it was doing the same thing where it showed that I was connected to the internet but it won't open any web pages. I've confirmed with other wirless devices though that the internet is working. I can't figure it out, nor figure out why the kindle fire would be affected to (or if that's just coincident and some other issue with my kindle fire, whcih is possible). I've tried searching the internet and none of the suggestions I've seen for similar problems have fixed mine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

After downloading iTunes,it won't open stating need Internet connection. Have Internet connection but program apparently doesn't recognize it. How can I resolve. This happened on 2 different computers.
If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues. -
Please help! I have a long standing problem with my MacBook Pro, whereby I experience the following symptoms:
- Webpages sometimes load very slowly. The URL is displayed in the address field, but the progress bar appears stuck. Only very slowly does the web page then load.
- Webpages sometimes do not load at all.
- Webpages sometimes load incomplete. Eg. Only part of the website appears, for example the top bar; or certain images fail to load.
However...
- My internet connection is fine. Mobile devices / iPad / work PC all work perfectly well on the same wifi. The problem is isolated to my MacBook Pro
- Clearing the cache, resetting the browser etc do not eliminate or reduce the problem
- Changing to OpenDNS does not fix the problem
- The problem is not specific to Safari. I experience the same on Chrome, Firefox etc.
- Switching it off and on again does not work either (in case anyone suggests it!)
I'm running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and my MacBook Pro is from early 2011.
Suggestions welcome!Information.

My "Shop Local" app won't open, says; Checking internet connection
I downloaded the app; "Shop Local" and it all went fine, but when I tap "ok" it says "checking internet connection". All of my other apps work, fine no problem. How can I get this to work??
I tried deleting it but it reloads from the cloud and I guess I can't start from fresh.Is this the app? https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/shop-local/id475372575?mt8
I notice that it was released in Nov. of 2011 and has never been updated (appears to have been designed for iOS 3), plus has a fair number of negative reveiws. The support site appears to be a dead end. If this is the app, I'd recommend deleting it and finding another one. -
Safari won't load pages, but internet connection is good
For the past 24 hours, whenever I try to reply to an e-mail, or create a new one, mail suddenly crashed. It is very reliable in this way; there are no exceptions. The the newest update/change to my configuration was the update of the 10.4.4 system stuff from Apple, followed a few days later by an update for the 15 in G4 Powerbook battery management.
Also, though not related to mail, the Software Update function does not work - "Can't connect to Update Server", and Safari will not load any pages - "CAn't connect to server...". However, Network Diagnostics says that I am connected to the internet, as does Firefox - it loads pages just fine! All other computers in our home network, including my G5 Tower, are performing and access the internet just fine.Bump
Could this have something to do with the Software Update error discussed in OS X system board? Various sites are off-limits (Network timeout error) such as E-bay; Microsoft etc. while others work fine.
Tried a full re-install etc but nothing - no non Apple apps, clean 10.4.3; purged, repaired etc etc -
don't know what else to say. Emails and file folders no longer open when I click on them.
How did you install GarageBand on your Mac? Did it come preinstalled with the other iLife applications?
If your MacOS supports the AppStore, you should be able to redownload GarageBand from the AppStore, see this support Article: OS X: About OS X Recovery on how to download again:
Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Purchases.
If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to complete installation of your applications.

A few days ago my Time Capsule stopped connecting to the internet at home. My internet connection is fine when I connect directly via ethernet. However when I plug the ethernet into the Time Capsule, it doesn't progress past the solid amber light. Doing a hard reset doesn't do anything. I took it to the Genius Bar two seperate times, and both times they were able to get it working there, but when I get it home it won't work. Any ideas of what the problem might be?
Try resetting your broadband modem. Depending on the model of modem, that can be as easy as removing power for a few moments. If that doesn't work, remove power and wait 15 minutes. Further reset steps can involve pressing a "reset" button or removing a battery if the modem has one. In the worst case, your ISP may need to edit its settings to update to the MAC address of the new router. If they won't or can't do that, powering down the modem for 16 to 36 hours can reset the connection.

I-Tunes won't open unless I'm connected to the internet
I am a relatively new user to I-Tunes; when I try to open I-Tunes to play a CD or other files in my library, I-Tunes won't open unless I am connected to the Internet. Is this normal?
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Okay three times now I would go to a page I've already gone to (like my email) and suddenly Firefox will say it can't load it even though the internet connection is fine, the cookies settings are fine, and I can get to the site on Google and I can get to the Firefox Homepage. Everything turns out fine when I leave Firefox and then start it again. I never had this problem before I updated to Firefox 4. I want to know why this is happening and what I can do to stop it.
Power off the router. Wait awhile. Power it back on. Wait until all the lights are lit up properly.
Restart the computer.

I use a WRT54G wireless router connected to Mac. All of a sudden, I became unable to access certain websites on my iMac, such as Facebook and Apple homepages. But i can access Yahoo website. I tried resetting my linksys setup but it doesnt solve the problem. When i access my iphone via wifi at home, i am also unable to go into app store, facebook app, and emails with images won't load. I also cannot link my iphone to itunes on my iMac. What happens on my computer when I surf the internet is that the page just loads halfway and stop "responding". But my imac airport says that my internet connection is fine, however my access has become very "restricted". Can anyone tell me what's happening and how to resolve it?
To resolve difficulties accessing some websites when connected to a Linksys router you should check the following.
Checking the router’s security settings
Checking your computer’s security settings
Security on the web browser is set too high
Configuring the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) on the router
Opening ports for secured sites

My Firefox automatically updated to Firefox 8. Since doing so, when I open the browser the screen displays a box saying 'Unable to connect' and says the same for any website. My internet connection is fine. I uninstalled and installed Firefox again, but problem persists. Please help as this is really frustrating me :(
Did you try this?
'''Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back.'''
Some Firewalls don't specify which version of Firefox is permitted. <br />New version of Firefox = new executable was installed = new permission is needed

View webpage without internet connection
Whenever I save a webpage (under Favorites) while I have internet connection. Eventhough it is saved, I am NOT able to view it once the internet connection is lost.
There is an specific checkbox to view webpages without internet connection under the favorites menu. But it is not working with me. When I try to view those pages a message appears saying I have no internet connection.

Recurring "connection failed" when selecting TimeCapsule in the sidebar (internet connection works fine). Clicking "Connect As" starts the cyle over again but ends in "There was a problem connection to the server" message. Only fix is resetting TC.
The TC is the wifi base station, also have AirportExpress on the network, both of which work fine. The TC has an external disc connected as well, which is also visible in the sidebar but also cannot be connected to. Several MB computers use the network, all of which either can or cannot connect to the TC disc depending on when it is acting up.
Any ideas other than clicking "connect as" or powering down the network every time?Read up how to install 5.6 utility into ML.. it is pretty easy.

Download unpkg
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Open the dmg to get the pkg.. drag it onto unpkg.. and it will create a directory under desktop with all the files.. drag the application to the utility directory.. or just run it direct.
Google if you want more explicit instructions.
Much easier with a real tool instead of a toy.
Hold the option key when you select firmware update.. all the old ones will appear.
But this will not work on newer Gen4.. only on every other model and early Gen4. .I do not know when they turned the corner and started this only 7.6 nonsense. -
I cannot get my iMac with built-in airport wi-fi to allow internet connections to Nook and PS3. The devices access the network, but internet connection fails. Internet sharing is enabled, network security (WEP, WPA) is disabled. What to check next?
On an additional note, I've purchased a wireless router and everything connected on the first attempt. It just vexes me that the built-in wireless isn't working as a router. Is this another example of "Mac only plays with Mac"?
