Having serious Safar/2wire 2701HB modem issues!

I use AT&T as my service provider. Have 2wire modem, version 2701HB. I have my desktop and two laptops conected to it. At times it works great, but at least a dozen times an hour it won't load the webpage.
I'll be surfing without an issue and then Safari gives me the "you are not connected to the internet" message. The lights on the modem were all green, but once it happens the internet light goes black and the DSL will blink red. A minute or so later with all the lights solid green again on the modem, the webpage won't reload/refresh. I must go to different webpage to continue to surf.
The AT&T tech person did several tests and said that everything looks fine.
I called AT&T and the level 2 tech person had me deselect the "Packet Flood" in the advance setting mode in the modem's firewall. She said it was maybe causing the firewall to causing the "You are not connected to the interent" message. It didn't work. I downloaded the google plus browser and it hasn't hung up or not loaded a webpage for over an hour.
Any answers?

I had these same problems as well. Wish I had the 2Wire where I am now to give you exact instructions, but I figured out a solution that worked for my computer.
First, go into the Management Console of your 2Wire at the address: http://gateway.2wire.net/management
Now, in the Advanced tab, click Configure Services. Once you are there, de-check the boxes for all "notifications" about connections or the like.
Turning off those notices made my system work perfectly.
What is happening is that the 2Wire steals the IP or DNS address to the site you were at when it had a problem and will keep redirecting you to those error pages. Turning on/off your Airport often resolves that, but I'd go into the router settings and turn off those notifications.
Hope this helps.

Serious Safari, Adium, Setup/Installer issues

Hello,
I've had my MacBook Pro for about two weeks now. Until very recently, it's been working fine, but a few days ago, Photoshop CS3 developed a slightly annoying issue wherein it freezes every time I try to save anything. I can do everything else, just not save.
At the same time, I also noticed that Safari began to show the entire CSS section of every site I visit, completely screwing up the positioning of objects in the frame as well. Adium does the same thing whenever I open a chat.
I've tried updating my software and I just reinstalled OSX (I didn't reformat, though.) I tried to delete CS3, but the install/delete application doesn't seem to work. I deleted all of the files manually, and I've been trying to reinstall it, but the setup frame is invisible. It works, and I can press enter and it'll change to the next section (I can tell because the status when you ctrl-click the icon changes from initialization to agreement to installation options, etc.)
Adium I can deal with, given that I've just been using iChat instead. Safari and CS3 I can't really live without, given that Mozilla seems about three times slower, and because I'm a photography student and I badly need to edit the thousands of images I have piling up on my memory cards and hard drive.
Any help would be useful. As a last resort, I'm perfectly willing to reformat it, but I just would much rather not. If that's really my only option, though, then I'll have to.
I love the computer, and I like OSX much better than Windows so far, but I really need it to be working ASAP. Thanks a ton in advance.

When in doubt, reformat. :P I mean, if you have everything up to date, you have tried re-installing everything, not much else you can do other than reformat or find a fix. If reformatting doesn't work or you really don't want to, try contacting Adobe.

I am having serious issues trying to alter my old iCloud account with an old non-functioning email to my new apple id with a new email address. The message keeps coming up on all my apple products with my old email (which is not available anymore).

I am having serious issues trying to alter my old iCloud account with an old non-functioning email to my new apple id with a new email address. The message keeps coming up on all my apple products with my old email (which is not available anymore).

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

HT6154 Having SERIOUS problems with iOS 7.1 on my iPhone 4S!!!!

I am having SERIOUS problems here. Let me give you a rundown:
I have to reboot my phone (or turn it off and on again) to see the correct battery percentage (but I'll address that in a second), and once I reboot it or bring it back up again, it has to restart itself (in the middle of use) about 3 or 4 times before it stays on consistantly; all the while reading the percentage of battery it remembers from the last reboot. Now, about the battery percentage: I restarted it before I charged it last night and it read 16% -mind you, after it had to shut itself down and restart 3 times. I put it on the charger all night, and it still read 16%...but I decided to run a battery cycle (charge it all the way up, and drain it all the way down) to see if that would help. Sad to say, it did not help; infact it made things worse. It now flip-flops in between the Apple boot-up symbol and a black screen when plugged up to a charger or a computer. The computer cannot read the phone being plugged in so I cannot do a manual restore from iTunes.
Best yet, I upgraded to 7.1, and had the SAME EXACT PROBLEMS I AM HAVING NOW. I did a complete restore of my phone, and even set it up as a brand new iPhone, not even a restore from the last iCloud backup, and just loaded all my content from my Mac...and the problems decided to follow -even after the fresh restore.
I'm toying with the idea that it may be a hardware problem, but I would love to know if anyone is experiencing the same issue.
I have no idea what to do... please help.
I use my phone for business constantly, and almost cannot do my job without it.

ok well seeing that your are having major issues with the battery and the loading screen it is a hardware issue. reseting it wont help that at all. what you need to do is take it to apple and let them look at it. They can tell you what is wrong with it and how much it would be to fix it ( if it is possible your situation is really bad) but if its not they might give you a discount if you give the iphone to them.

I am having serious issuse trying to open websites or links which i have never had before

I am having serious issues trying to open websites/pages or links which i have never had before. For instance when i open Firefox and my tabs start to load, sites such as Yahoo, Gamespot or Fox News struggle to open (these are just an example of a wider picture) Other times Firefox just freezes either for Minutes on end or completely until it either crashes or i have to task manage out of it. Firefox has total privelages through both my antivirus software and the in built Microsoft firewall. I never used to have this problem and speaking to some friends some of them are experienceing the same thing and due to the lack of help from Firefox have reverted to using Explorer. I do not recieve any error messages or messages stating there are problems with any of the sites that struggle or fail to open. I have tried disabling all add-ons and starting Firefox in save mode but no luck. I have also tried to change the settings in Options / Privacy - History from Remeber History to Use custom settings for history but this just keeps reverting back to original setting. Any help would be greatly appreciated as i don't want to return to using Windows Explorer.

FF4 has problems with script-heavy sites. There are two solutions:
1) Downgrade to 3.6
OR
2) Use a different broser

OSX 10.4.10/Apple USB Modem issue

Hi there:
3 weeks ago I bought a new imac and also an apple usb modem (since we only have dial up where I live).
I wasn't having a problem at all with connecting to the internet.
I am online virtually most of the day and, at night, I disconnect and put my computer to sleep.
Now every morning when I go to connect, it just says "connecting" endlessly, with no dial tone....YES, the phone line is working.
It does nothing to disconnect the phone line, the modem etc.
If you click "disconnect" it just says "disconnecting" endlessly.
I am forced to shut down the computer and reboot to make it stop and reset itself and then I can connect to the internet just fine.
The only thing I can think of that changed since when I first got the computer is that I upgraded to OSX 10.4.10.
Does anyone know if this is a 10.4.10 issue or a modem issue?
I posted this in the old hardware forum as well....
Help!
Thanks!

I don't know how much of a Mac background you have, so forgive me if I state the obvious. Before and after any upgrade you should be repairing permissions (in Disk Utilities). There are some AOL issues with this modem if you use that ISP. I am having a problem with my usb modem not dialing for sending a fax @ work until I uncheck "wait for dialtone" but I am dialing through a work phone system. I have not figured out how to make this the default setting. Since you have a new iMac, you should call Apple Support by your misbehaving phone line.
Good Luck

My imac and ipad2 will not connect to the internet with Windstream using an 2wire DSL modem.

Help my brand new imac and ipad2 will not connect to the internet with Windstream using an "2WIRE" DSL modem. Windstream tech service is useless. i can connect with the built in router through Ethernet or wireless, but still no connecting to internet, help! windstream said everything is working on their end, yea right. What i do know is that both the mac and ipad work at other places and can connect with wireless connected to the internet, so i know it's not the apple products.
these are brand new machines with lion.
This is my first mac, so I’m still new to how it works, which is not helping either so a detailed help would be great. Please help before my wife losses it
thanks

There is a 2701HG-B, and a 2701HG-D. If not labelled on the modem, ask Windstream which one they presently supply or how to tell the difference.
By the way tell your wife it isn't that bad. At least you have an ethernet DSL modem. There were times where DSL modems had RJ-11, USB, and Ethernet, and all three were used to provide access. At least now only the craziest DSL providers still use those modems.

Safari not working (Flash issue) but FireFox is... is there an issue with Safari?

When I access Connect in Safari I am asked to upgrade my Flash player - it is up to date... Firefox works just fine. Does anyone else have Safari access or Flash issues?

Connect version 8 requires that Adobe Flash 10.1 be installed. I would suggest that you uninstall Flash and then reinstall from here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#ostype=m,prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,
Adobe Connect is built to use the Adobe Flash player and it works great on Mac OSX. I suspect your Flash instance is corrupt and needs replacement. I use Safari all day long with Adobe Connect 7.5 and 8.

Someone posted today (9/19/06) on the MacInTouch forums that they just got their MacBook back from repair for RSD, and the replaced parts were:
APP-630-7872 PCB, MLB, 2.0GHZ DC, SMS/KIONI
APP-607-0142 ASSY, HEATSINK, M42
This is the first post I have seen that shows a different part number for the heat sink than the one for my repair from almost a month ago:
APP-603-8071 ASSY, HEATSINK, M42
Perhaps interesting.

Anyone else still having iOS 8.1 Bluetooth Connection issues.

Hi there just wanted to see if anyone is still having the Vehicle "Hands Free" Connection issues via Bluetooth on the iPhone 6? I drive a 2009 Acura TL and I am still having the connection issue. Oddly enough before the 8.1 update I was running 8.0.2 and it worked fine. Now when I get in my car and the phone connects it cripples the entire system. It won't allow me to change to the USB mode for my connected iPod and when I try to place a call via the "Hands Free" system it beeps as if it is activating and then does nothing.
I have tried everything that I can think of with no results. I was hoping there was someone out there with the same car or similar having the same problem that might have found a fix. Chime in and let me know.

I am having similar problems with Bluetooth connectivity but not with a car. I use a Planatronics Legend. Everytime that a call comes in, my Legend announces the call then immediately disconnects from my iPhone. All of this started after upgrading to ios 8.1.
Apple should not advertise fixes to problems without truly confirming the repairs.

Lion / Safari 5.1 has issues with the pinch/zoom (embedded links don't zoom correctly)

Ever since upgrading to Lion Safari 5.1 has issues with the pinch/zoom. Any embedded link does not zoom in proportion to the surrounding page and it makes it unusable. (the embedded link zooms much more). Any ideas? This makes safari almost unusable for many webpages.
Is there a fix to this? Or can I consider uninstalling 5.1 and rolling Safari back to 5.05? Not sure if this is a Lion issue or a Safari issue. Everything worked great prior to Lion.
(I have to say, Lion has been more annoying than beneficial to this point!)

Here are 2 screenshots of the issue (before and after a zoom) see how the add in the first one that shows 25% off in the first picture zoomed too large after the zoom to see the whole thing?

My iPad Mini is having serious soundproblems

My iPad Mini is having serious soundproblems, when I downloaded iOS8. Both speakers and headphone input.
Does anyone else have this? Is there going to be an update where this problem will be solved?

Try a hardware reset. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time until the white apple appears. If you do this while you're connected to your computer, your ipad will go into recovery mode and you can still restore it then out of recovery mode

2Wire + Airport Connection issue (Help wanted)

Hello All,
I use a 2Wire HomePortal router to connect to my DSL service, and it works very well with our old PC and my iMac G5 (both ethernet and wireless). I purchased my new MacBook in August, and It connected well to the 2wire network, until two days ago. Right now, all I can connect to with the HomePortal router is via ethernet, which works fine. When I attempt to connect by wireless, I recieve the message "There was an error connecting to 2wire*" It's WEP passcoded, but I already know that I need to put a $ in front of the passkey, so I doubt that's the problem. Also, I can connect to other wireless networks, so I know it isn't a general AirPort problem.
Thanks so much for your help!
-Belril

I'm not sure how helpful this may be, but I also use a 2WIRE router/modem for my DSL connection. I initially had problems with it and here are the thide ngs that I did to get the connection to work:
1. Reset the router (I unplugged it and plugged it back in after about 30 seconds)
2. Made sure that I used the right version of WEP on the AirPort. I had to use the hex key choice to get it to connect.
After that all was well.
Good luck...
