System problems with permanent internet connection

Days ago we contracted a broadband internet connection with the Chilean company "VTR", the connection is permanent, reason why the only way to stop it is to disconnect the Ethernet cable of the Mac. The point is that when the Mac is connected to Internet with an open app i can't open another because the Mac will "freezes". The solution is to disconnect the Ethernet cable and later open the application that is needed. There is a form to solve this, without disconnecting the Ethernet cable constantly?
eMac Mac OS X (10.3.9) 1 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 40 GB HD

Having just gone through Hades getting a friend's wireless Airport to set up, I've concluded there is a great amount of plain old voodoo involved. What I finally did to make it work, I really do not know, as I tried so many things. However, the Airport Base Station has TWO different types of reset, and CORRECTLY doing the "total" reset was one of the keys to getting the three Macs to connect. Don't be afraid to try a complete re-do from the beginning including resets to defaults. Also, turning off everything and restarting sometimes also makes a difference. Another variation is to leave out the DNS settings, if putting them in doesn't work.
I was frequently at the step where the Mac was connected wirelessly to the router, but the router wouldn't go onto the internet for no apparent reason.

I'm having problems with my internet connection after installing OS X Lion. Is this a known problem or just a local problem?

I'm having problems with my internet connection after installing OS X Lion. Is this a known problem or just a local problem?
After +/- 10 to 15min my connection is gone.
Does anyone have a sollution?

Lots of people are having the same problem, you're not the only one, belieeeeve me.
Just Googling the problem gets you tons of people complaining about the same thing, SOMETHING is up with Lion what wasn't happening with Snow Leopard. i just bought a new Imac and it CAME with Lion, so i started experiencing this internet dropout immediately.
It's been going on for the most of a year it looks like (at least by the dates from the threads i've been reading)
So your best bet is to fiddle with the System Preferences and read what other people have used to make theirs work. i'm doing that myself right now. I already posted a similar thread last night trying to figure out why my connection kept on dropping, i got a reply which linked me to a site. i followed the instructions there, so far so good, but i'm just being cautiously optimistic.
i'm gonna call Apple today and see if they've found anything, though seeing as this is a problem right out of the box there may not be an immediate solution. Good luck hunting for a solution :3

Problem with my internet connection with Mail and others

Hi
I seem to have a problem with my internet connection that is through Ethernet. I have just downloaded the update to iLife 9 and the down load speed went from zero to 1.1BB/s but most of the time it downloads at speeds around 8KB/s also Mail some times returns mail sent but there seems to be no problem sending out only that things go faster out than in. My internet speed from my ISP is 500KB/s so as you can see I was at first happy that I was getting speeds in of 1.1MB/s. I have done a diagnostic test through network also fully run Norton and finally run utilities with no problems showing. My ISP is willing to come and have a look at my internet but I some how think it's my computer, any ideas?
Thanks

The first thing I would do is completely disable Norton AntiVirus; there are no viruses for Mac OS X, so it can't protect you from something that doesn't exist. It can, however, severely slow down your system. Do that and then restart Mail and see if the problem continues.
You should also try creating a new User account and test Mail there to see if you experience the same problem; if so, then the issue is systemwide. If not, it's something specific to your regular user account.
As for your download speed, it's not 1.1MB/s; it's 1.1Mb/s. Upload speed is slower than download speed for both Cable and DSL service. I doubt the problem is your modem/router, but you should try shutting down your Mac and the modem for a few minutes. If your modem/router has a reset button, use it, then restart it and your Mac and see if the problem continues.

Organizer elements 11. Problem with your internet connection

I am trying to access facebook and Flickr via the Organizer with elements 11. I went to preferences and cleared the oline services, when I try to refresh the partner services I am greeted with the error " there is a problem with your internet connection, check your firewall settings" .
Windows 8, updated. I tried disabling the firewall. I have also tried making sure permissions are set up to allow all adobe products access through the frewall when it is enabled. No other network managment services or virus scanners installed. just default 64bit windows 8.
I am currently left with no partner services; facebook, flicker, picasa, etc.... I could reinstall organizer i guess to get the default services back...
I found discussions on the web but none with a solution. http://forums.adobe.com/message/4035670
Any help would be great

I apologize for the delay. An update was released shortly after I posted the question that resolved the issue. Thank you for your assistance though. As soon as I read your advice I went to my laptop to follow your instructions. Upon opening photoshop I was prompted with an adobe update message. After the update the issue was resolved. Again, sorry for not updating the situation.

When I go to watch a show or movie that I purchased, it will not load. The "loading" screen comes up but it just sits there. There is no problem with my internet connection.

Problem with my internet connection and modem

hello!
i have a very big problem with my internet connection a 56k. i use internet with my internal apple modem (i have an ibook g4). sometimes it works well but sometimes, after being connected, my ibook freezes and i have a black window wich says: "you need to restart your computer".
i do it, and when i want to connect again, i have a new message wich says " this port of communication does'nt exist. please check your setup and do it again" (in french) i check my preferences in the "preferences" and the modem doesn't appear!! see it my photos here (in french sorry):
http://h1.ripway.com/diesel/pdf.pdf
in order to use internet normally, i'm obliged to re-install tiger again and again!! i'm very hungry about this problem because since i'have my connection, i can"t use it as i want!
please help me!

Hi David,
What you've described is a kernel panic. Since reinstalling the OS only alleviates the issue temporarily it's possible that your modem is failing.

Strange problem with the internet connection

Hello,
I've a strange problem with the network connection , I have bought a Iphone 3g in Italy in date 31st
October 2010. Now in Italy I have just subscribed a telephone rental with Wind company, where there is an unlimited internet service. The problem is that in my Iphone there is not the line.
All this is strange because I receive the messages from social networks (like facebook and msn) but I cannot open tha page for the internet connection. I have gone to Apple store and I have tried to put my SIM in an other phone (iphone 3g or 3gs): my SIM is perfectly working.
The problem is only for the internet connection on my phone because wifi connection is good.
Thanks!!

Please help everyone who has the same problem by posting yr solution, thx!

Problem with Dropped Internet Connections on AE/Macbook

I have a dual band Airport Extreme connected to Comcast Cable. I use a first generation Macbook to access the airport. The problem is that I keep on getting dropped Internet connections. The signal strength is shown at the top rhs of the screen as being full strength (4 bars).
If I swap out the router for a Linksys WRT54G, running DD-WRT, the combination works perfectly without any dropped Internet connections. Also, If I connect the Linksys to the AE with the Linksys acting as a wireless client repeating the signal, then I can connect the Macbook to the Linksys again without any dropped internet connections.
There is something about the Macbook connecting directly to the AE. It happens intemittantly but probably multiple times a day and is very inconvenient. The only way to get it back is to reboot the router or stop/start the aiport on the Macbook.
I have tried just about every possible setup on the AE including splitting the 2.4 and 5Ghz radios into two separate ssid's and changing the channels. I am using the latest AE firmware. I have also taken the AE back to the Apple store and they have swapped it for a new one.
I dont get the same issues with my windows clients or my ipad (although i have experienced issues while steaming video - but I think that may be a different issue).
Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Use the advice in this thread to investigate the signal and noise levels that the Mac sees:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2347845&start=1
What you may see if an increase in noise when the connection drops.
If that doesn't show anything useful, it might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until the problem is resolved, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
1) Use the AirPort menu bar item to turn AirPort off, then on again.
2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort menu.
3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort item from the left column, then add it back.
4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
5) In the same panel, select the AirPort connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease". Note that the fix this step implements may be temporary.
6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( _not_ <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
These steps may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try. Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them. If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.

Since installing Time Capsule, all other devices have problem with their internet connection

3 or 4 weeks ago my sister bought herself a Time Capsule to use with her IMac and since we have a big house and the Wifi Connection is pretty weak at her room, she connected it with our devolo dlan ethernet(which makes a connection between the time capsule and the router via electrical cables). I also use the same system for my xbox360/ps4 and never had any problems, but since she no longer has her Imac connected directly(WLan from her Time Capsule) something is messed up. If I don't unplug her Time Capsule I'm not able at all to connect with the Internet with my Xbox360 and with my Ps4 I'm only able once in 6-10 trials and only for about 5-30 seconds. But this isn't even all, my Laptop which has top Connection to our home network and also to the time capsule network sometimesneeds me to change between them for about a dozen times till it finally is able to make a connection with the Internet and even then it loses the connection to the Internet from time to time.
So my Question is, is it possible that the Time Capsule screws up some of the routing of the router and what can I do about it?
My Sister is happy because she finally has a good wifi connection in her room, but it got unbearable for me because it screws up the internet connection of every single electronical gadget I own and I don't want to have to unplug my sisters' time capsule every time she isn't in her room.

Yes, the TC can be messing things up. It is in router mode and is providing the dhcp in the wrong network to clients in the wrong places..
The TC should be in bridge mode.. is it.. ??
Go to the setup of the TC in the airport utility and check the setup.

Problems with your internet connection after upgrading to iOS 7.1.2

After upgrading to iOS 7.1.2 on my iPad Retina display does not connect to the internet more. Recognizes the Wi-Fi network but can not connect to the internet. The same thing happened to my wife's iPhone 5s, while my had no problems ...

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Problems with sharing internet connection via usb

I have been sharing the internet connection on my iPhone 5 via usb to a PC for a few years. When updating to iOS 8.3 and iTunes to 12.1 (from iOS 6 if I remember correctly) the internet sharing through usb stopped working. Sharing through wifi works and settings are the same as when usb internet share did work. Any idea on how to solve this except downgrading?
For my troubleshooting, has anyone been able to share internet via usb to PC (or Mac) with iOS 8 / iTunes 12.
PS I have unliited cellular data and iPhone is my only internet connection at home,

Mark,
There is a excellent book that teaches you how to do this (and other things) called Mac OS X Tiger: The Missing Manual (others of course)
If I remember correctly (book is on loan)
1: System Preferences>Network>Show>network port configurations (click unlock)
2: Click>Built in Firewire and drag to the top of the list (why I forget why)
3: System Preferences>Sharing>Internet>Share your connection from: Built in Ethernet (or what your using for your connection in) >To computers using: Built in Firewire>Start
4: Mac #2>Hook up Firewire 400 cable>System Preferences>Network>Location>New Location
5: Show>Network Port Configurations>Drag Built in Firewire to top of list and enable.
6: I also think you have to enable Personal Web Sharing on the Mac hosting the internet.
anyway play with it, you'll figure it out. if someone doesn't get to you.

HT5945 Why does Instal Java SE 6 keep popping up and when I attempt to install it says that there is a problem with the internet connection ??? Please help

I keep getting a pop up reminder to install Java SE 6. When I attempt to install it an error occurs saying that there is a internet connection problem and the Java cannot be intalled. This thing pops up every 15 minutes. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any help

OK, so you don't have a working iTunes.
What I would like to do now is to try installing each iTunes component separately.
First uninstall the 5 iTunes programs that you have installed.
You should have iTunesSetup.exe saved in a folder on your PC, probably in the downloads folder. If not download and save it now.
Open the folder containing iTunessetup.exe with explorer.
Next open notepad and copy the following 3 lines into it.
md temp
itunessetup /extract temp
pause
Save the file as extract.bat into the same folder that contains the itunes installer.
Open the downloads folder and you should find the extract file that you saved. Double click on it and a black window will open telling you what it is doing. When its finished, press any key to continue.
You should find that a folder called temp has been created containing all the itunes msi files.
Install in this order by double clicking on them:
Apple Application Support
Bonjour
Apple Mobile Device Support
Apple Software Update
Quicktime
iTunes
If one of the installs fails, stop and post the error message in full. I am hoping that by doing this separately we will get a better error message.

Need Help Troubleshooting Problem with Shared Internet Connection

The setup:
DSL Modem/Router
Mac Running 10.4.4 connected to router directly, via ethernet cable
Mac Running 10.2.8 connected to router wirelessly, via ethernet bridge
The Mac connected by wire has no problems.
The Mac connected by radio works perfectly with web browsers and with Apple software update, but it can't connect to the AIM server and it can't connect to the GMail POP server. It can connect to those servers via dial-up however.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Could you list the make and model numbers of your dsl modem and your wireless bridge please?

Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

I have a MacBook and cannot connect to App Store. I have no problem with the internet connection. I want to be able to buy the apps that are available for my computer. The date, time and location are all correct - all the suggestions have failed

I have a MacBook - I am unable to connect to App Store - I have no problems using the internet to connect to anything else. I have checked out all the suggestions - Apple Preference and time, date, location etc. they are all correct. I cannot think what else I should do. Any suggestions please Cynthiafromgrayshott.

If you don't see any messages, not have anti-malware running or the Firewall on, try installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8 (according to your profile).
Restart your Mac after the combo in installed, try the App Store.
Also... if you have an app called Little Snitch installed, that can prevent a connection to the App Store.
