10.4.4 - Causes internet connection problems

I have updated to 10.4.4 and certain programs (Safari, Firefox, Mail and Widgets) are having intermitent problems connecting to the internet.
There doesn't appear to be any problem with my airport connection, and all programs appear to open without any problems. They will all connect to the internet if they are the first (internet using) program that I open on my computer, but when I try and use more than one program at once, the second program opened usually can't connect to the interent - it's like the first program is hogging the connection!
As I said, this happens intermittantly, however one place that it always happens is when I open Widgets, then try to open Safari. The Widgets work but Safari will not connect to the internet.
I've tried repairing disk permissions in Disk Utility a number of times, but it always comes up with a huge list of issues that never decreases - Any idea what I can do to correct this problem?
Many Thanks
Paul

Nothing to fix here. Recent updates of Tiger contain numerous permission messages like these. Basically, if it says "We are using special permissions" it is normal and intentional by Apple. And you will get these messages every time you run Disk Utility. Nothing to worry about and probably not the cause of your connection problems.
You may want to try re-applying the 10.4.4 update. Download and use the Combo updater from Apple's site. The Combo update often resolves problems like yours. You'll know it's the combo update because it's about 120MB in size. The Combo updater is so large because it will update every thing from 10.4.0 forward.

Persistent internet connection problems.

Every 8 months I get a spate of internet connection problems that last for a few months. (Meaning I get relief for two months at a time, and bad service for two months). When the previous bout of internet connection issues happened I was fortunate enough to get a good technician who showed me how to reset the connection at the fios box at the entrance to my home, by unplugging the backup battery, unplugging the connection box and then reconnecting the battery and plugging back in the connection box. The technician had remarked that there were problems with the main fios connection system to the townhouses, and somehow that got fixed.
This time I have not had as much luck. The technicians on duty have had me reset the cable router (which isn't the problem) and even replace the cable router (also not the problem). Fortunately I have remembered the previous technician's solution and am doing that every three days, without contacting technical support since they have proven useless at this time, only continuing to have me get new routers that do not even connect without the previous steps.
How do I get Verizion to bother to listen to me? At this time I am really wishing Cox was in my neighborhood, since I was able to go at least eight months straight without problems from them.
I am hoping that this causes someone to check on this problem. You had a good technician on technical support once, but not now.
By the way - this has been going on for over two years.

Omni 10 mostly internet connection problem, also difficulties responding generally

Dear all,
For two weeks now i am proud owner of an omni 10 tablet. However, i already encountered some problems like the loss of the audio System, which was luckily restored with the help of the hp support via telephone.
Unfortunately, my tablet is not properly connecting to the internet since yesterday. It also has problems opening PDF files with 'adobe read', deleting or newly creating appointments in the challenger app and foremost it sometimes does not open the settings section depite repeatedly tapping on its button..
Most important currently is the internet connection problem. Is connects but says at the same time that the connection is limited. Additionally, it does not offer any solutions to this. That happend with three differend routers so far..
I hope you can help me
Greetings

Some Gmail features have failed to load due to an Internet connectivity problem.

This error message comes up both using Firefox and Chrome when using G mail. Also if it works at all,
switching from compose to draft just takes very long or keeps working.
No problem with G mail using Internet Explorer or Safari.
I have used Firefox for many years & want to go back when I can solve this Vexing problem.

Thank you for your help.
I reset Firefox, re started and wanted to answer using G mail with Firefox,
and the same error message comes up.. When it does the screan gets
very lite with the error message on top.

Internet connectivity problems. Conflicting IP address?

For the last few months I have been experiencing significant internet connection problems on my mac mini. Although at times my connection is ok, the majority of the time I'm suffering from what would best be described as an "intermittent" internet connection. It seems that my internet connection is constantly cutting out for short periods of time before re-establishing itself.
I'm connected to the internet via a wireless network (netgear router). There are also two windows machines (one laptop and one desktop) and a PS3 connected on the same network (also occasionally there is a macbook connected to the network too).
I've been with the same ISP for over a year now and previously had always experienced a good connection, also all the other devices connected on this network seem to have fine connectivity so I doubt there is any problem with my service provider.
It could be a coincidence but the emergence of the problem seems to have conincided with my flatmates purchase of a laptop. When my flatmate first connected his laptop to the internet I received a message on my mac mini stating there was an IP address conflict, although I have not had that message again and I seem to suffer from bad connectivity at all times, not just when my flatmates laptop is turned on! Could these to issues be related?
I'd be very grateful for any advice on how to resolve this issue as it's getting to be a very significant problem, thanks in advance for any replies...

Also try using the open dns servers instead or your ISP's. System Preferences>Network. Advanced>DNS. Click on + and add the following: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220. Hit Ok,then Apply.

OSX Mavericks having internet connection problems.

Just updated to OSX Mavericks on my early 2011 MacBook Pro, and it's having internet connection problems. I'm using wi-fi, and so far only Firefox and Mail will connect. All other programs (such as iTunes and App Store) won't establish a connection. This is a problem that only started after I installed Mavericks. What can I do to fix this? Thanks in advance.

App Store / iTunes Store relies on Safari settings if you can't access secure sites from Safari then they won't work... Reset Safari and make sure Block Cookies Setting is not set to Always. You can also try to create a new user and see if it works there to help isolate the issue.

Internet connection problems with OSX 10.10.3

Does anyone else have very bad Internet connection problems after downloading OSX 10.101.3? Does anyone have a solution? P.S. What do you think of PHOTOS, after Aperture?

1, No problems here with internet on 10.10.3
2, No solution
3, I think that Photos is a toy. Apple has basically neutered both Aperture and iPhotos with their efforts to make their desktop solution match the iOS solution.
I am currently looking for a non-Apple solution for my photographic needs since Photos in no way shape or form is able to fill my needs.

Just one month before i bought iphone 5... but the iphone has the internet connectivity problem... while a iphone 4s is cathcing 3G tower, whereas iphone 5 is catching 2G network only.... I've tried so many things to get recovered, but alas

Just one month before i bought iphone 5... but the iphone has the internet connectivity problem... while a iphone 4s is cathcing 3G tower, whereas iphone 5 is catching 2G network only.... I've tried so many things to get recovered, but alas, nothing is workable- such as- restaring the iphone, reseting the networks etc... Please help me out from this problem..

to be clear, my phone works fine when not in motion in a vehicle. If I pull over and come to a complete stop, remaining in the car, my phone works.
And while the phone is not working when I'm in motion, an internet search or a text message will go through, but I can not use Siri or any voice assistance when doing the text message or internet search. The microphone is greyed out.
So this is a unique issue, which appears to be the iPhone and not Verizon.

RG54G2 Wireless Router Internet Connection Problem

Hi,
(apologies for the long message - trying to cover all details - summary: wireless router often drops internet connection)
I recently bought an RG54G2 Wireless Router, a CB54G2 PCMCIA Wireless card and a D-Link GWL-630 PCMCIA Wireless card. In addition to two laptops connected to the wireless router WLAN, I have two PCs (one Win WP Pro SP 1 and one Win98SE) connected to the router via wired LAN. I also have a SurfBoard SB3100 Cable Modem connected to the WAN port (this connects to my ISP - Optusnet (Australia) via DHCP).
The problem I have is that the internet connection is disconnected many times a day (often every few minutes, sometimes an hour or so). I am able to reconnect by resetting the wireless router via the wireless router configuration page. When the internet is disconnected I am still able to access the computers on the LAN/WLAN (via Windows Explorer and Ping), I am also able to ping the router and the Cable Modem, but nothing outside of the cable modem.
Also, when the internet is disconnected the System Status page indicates that the router is still connected to the internet, and the Diagnostics page passes the Test Connection test, though no external pings work.
I did not have this problem when the cable modem was connected directly to the Win98SE PC (and other PCs via ICS).
I have disabled the WLAN and the problem still exists with only the wired LAN.
I have changed numerous settings in the wireless router config page with no success (eg disabling DHCP and setting each IP address, minimising LAN and WLAN speeds to 10 and 11MBps plus others).
I have upgraded the wireless router firmware to R1.0.6.0 (no change to the problem).
Searching on Google I have found several other cases of routers with unstable internet connections (none refering to the MSI routers), but none had solutions that helped my situation (most replies suggested updating the firmware).
Any suggestions of how to make the router internet connection stable?
Thanks,
Mike

maybe this is the FIX 4 wireles router internet connection problem
please let me know if any one fix the problem with this tips
thankz

Subject: SOLUTION to my router loosing connection to Windows XP
Reply | Reply to Author | Forward | Print | Individual Message | Show original | Report Abuse
I am happy to report that after 8 days of constant battles, reboots, phone
calls, cable pulling, router changing, it seems that I finally have found a
combination that has had me using Verizon DSL account for over 12 hours so
far without any kind of interruptions.
Since so many of you tried giving me comments and suggestions, I felt that
it is necessary for me to post this here so that the next person will not
(hopefully) need to go through this hell as I did!
My original problem was that when after I purchased a D-Link Wireless Router
DI-624, I would get disconnected from Verizon DSL at least once every 2
hours or so. My internet access would "freeze" and then a little popup box
at the bottom right system tray would tell me that the "LAN cable has been
unplugged". After about a minute or so, my internet connection would be
back working This was NEVER happening during the 2+ years I was using my
Westell modem alone (running in router mode).
Please keep in mind: The problem I was having was not wireless related as
it was happening to the desktop computer to which the router/westell was
connected to!
During these last 8 days, I tried: one DI-624 wireless router, two Netgear
614v3 routers and two Linksys WRT54G v.2 routers. In addition, I received a
brand new Westell 2200 modem from Verizon. I also tried about four
different CAT-5 cables. Here is the final outcome:
I have the Linksys WRT54G (version 2) wireless router connected to the
Netgear Fast Ethernet FA310TX network card in Auto-Sense mode (using the
built-in XP drivers, as Netgear told me that there was never a newer
revision released). I have DISABLED the built-in 3Com Gigabit LOM (3C940)
network card (via the ASUS P4C800 Deluxe motherboard BIOS), DISABLED the
Zero Wireless Configuration service, and have put in the IP/Gateway/DNS
address numbers inside my Windows XP Network Connections | LAN setup. My
operating system is Windows XP Pro SP1 and the modem is a Westell 2200
configured as bridge only.
If my situation continues to be stable, I *might* try to go back to the 3Com
built-in card (disable any power management) and then re-enabling the Zero
Wireless Configuration services. But in reality, I am happy with the way
things are and have already spent enough time trying to get my router to
work with Verizon DSL without having it drop connections!
Now, the next step will be setting up the WIRELESS part of this. I don't
even yet have a laptop with me on the premises, but the 802.11g card that I
already have is the D-Link DWL-G650. I hope and assume that this will work
okay with the Linksys...
One thing I must say is that I never realized that how many problems other
users are having. I would have thought that since 802.11x has been around
in the mainstream by now 2+ years, that things would have been much more
"system friendlier". And again, my issues were not even WIRELESS related.
All 3 tech supports were not really helpful, as none of them realized that
the problem is somehow between the router and Windows XP (Ethernet card?)
loosing a connection, which of course results in Verizon DSL loosing the
connection also.
One other comment about the Netgear 614 v.3 router: A number of people have
responded to tell me that they have had this random "router resetting"
happen to them (where the routers behaves as if someone turned the power off
and then back on, and the lights flash) just as if you first turn it on). I
was lucky to witness it myself during one of the "disconnects" that I had.
This was actually the reason why I went back to try the Linksys one more
time. So, I would definitely recommend staying way from this 614 (version
3) model.
Once again - THANK YOU everyone!

Home Hub 3/USB HDD causing internet connection to ...

Hi Guys,
I've been using a Home Hub 3 for a couple of years without any real problems. I recently decided to plug a USB HDD into the hubs usb port to act as shared storage on the network. I initially tried using an unpowered portable HDD which failed to work (I've since found out that the port does not have the power to power these devices).
I then tried a powered HDD which worked well and I was able to map to my network. However with in 24 hours I started noticing very frequent intermintant dropping of my internet connection. Through elimination I have isolated the cause to the USB drive. On removing and powering the drive the internet connection returns to being stable with no problems.
To test if it was just a fault caused by that particular USB drive I installed a USB flash drive (I have read that the port outputs enough power for a simple thumb drive) to see if the problem was recreated. Again the drive was recognised and I mappped it to the network sucessfully. However the intermitant problem has again become apparent. It has again also been corrected by removing the drive from the home hub.
The outages seem only to be with the internet connection. The wireless network with in the home remains up and running without interfernce. The outages are all for several seconds before self correcting and can happen almost continually making the web virtually unusable. For example it has taken me 5 or 6 attempts to post this message.
Any help on the cause of this problem and solutions would be greatly appreciated. I'd really like to avoid buying a NAS etc if unnecessary.
Many Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Nick,
Thanks for that info, and the above probably explains why it didn't work with the drive I tried it on - I'm pretty sure I formatted the one I tried to NTFS - I shall have to test it with a thumb drive.
Also, if you're looking at going down the NAS route, I've also been looking into getting a NAS and have had Netgear recommended to me - I know they're a good manufacturer, and from what I've seen it looks like you get pro-level features (such as RAID 5 (improved error correction/redundancy (for models with 3 or more drive bays)), hot swap (so you can swap out a dead drive without switching the unit off), and so on) at much closer to consumer-level prices - not 100% sure if they do one with FTP/web access, but I'd be surprised if they didn't.
Worth shopping around - there's a lot of alternatives on the market these days.
