A new Mac in my house, now I can't connect!

Have been using a Linksys BEFW 1154 wireless router with a Dell desktop as host and an IBM T30 laptop as remote. No problems with e-mail or internet access. My daughter returned from college with her Mac laptop. It automatically detected the wireless network and she can access e-mail and internet using our wireless network, no problems. But while I can still access my e-mail (Outlook Express) I can no longer access Internet through Mozilla or Internet Explorer.
The icon on the taskbar of my laptop shows Linksys and that I am connected. When I click on the icon and wireless properties it shows two connections. First is Linksys(automatic) and second is PANERA (automatic). The general tab shows a Cisco PCI wireless LAN card and that it is operating properly.
I have changed no settings prior to this problem. The only change is that the Mac is now accessing the wireless network I had set up.
Any suggestions (other than sending my daughter back to college for the summer!).

go to start >> run >> cmd and click OK.
on the command prompt window type ping yahoo.com and press enter key... if you get 4 replies , you have an access to the internet and may be something is wrong with the browsers ..

  • New airport express has error, now network can't connect to internet to

    Purchased new airport express to use solely for airplay, ran airport utility and there was an error. Now airport express is not recognized and wireless network (Fios router) has no internet connection.

    It's optional, but in my opinion, it would still be a good idea to perform the complete network power cycle that I outlined above.  This will give the network a "fresh start" and minimize the chances of an error occurring during the setup of the Express.
    Perform a Factory Default Reset as suggested by Tesserax above.
    Temporarily, locate the Express in the same room or close proximity to the Actiontec modem/router and power it on for a few minutes. Do not connect an Ethernet cable to the Express, as it will be configured using wireless.
    Click the WiFi icon at the top of the Mac's screen and look for a listing of New AirPort Base Station
    Click on AirPort Express just below that listing
    That will get the setup "wizard" running to take a minute to analyze the network and likely suggest that the Express be setup to extend the Actiontec network.
    Technically, it cannot do this, but it should be able to join the Actiontec network for use with AirPlay if the security settings on the Actionec are compatible with the Express.
    Enter a name that you want to call the Express and then click the Other Options button.
    Select the Add to an existing network option, if not already selected, and click Next
    Follow the prompts, making sure that the name of the network and password are entered correctly.
    If the setup is successful, you will see a message of Setup Complete and the Express will display a green light. Click Done and move the Express to the desired location and power it back up again.  The Express needs to be located where it can receive a good quality signal from the modem/router wireless.

  • I have a 4s iPhone which I loaded the new Os on last night. Now I can not connect to iTunes. A message comes up saying i need 10.6.3 or later but I am running 10.6.1 as I have an older Mac. Anyone have ideas how to get this to work?

  • Have just purchased a new mac book pro, am now having issues syncing my apps to my new mac?

    Have just purchased a new mac book pro, am now having issues syncing my apps to my new mac?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You already have got OS X Mavericks installed (the Keynote, Pages and Numbers versions available in the Mac App Store are only compatible with OS X Mavericks).
    You have got a Late 2013 MacBook Pro, which uses a special OS X Mavericks version that is not available in the Mac App Store. This is the reason why the Mac App Store is not compatible with OS X Mavericks even if you are using it. This will be fixed in OS X 10.9.1, when your Mac uses the same Mavericks version as all other Macs.
    Until then, you can reinstall OS X through OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718

    Normally, you just connect the monitor to the MacBook using a VGA adaptor that you can buy from an Apple Store.  Now try System Preferences > Displays > Detect Displays.  You should now be able to select a display mode for the monitor.  If it still doesn't work, then I'd check that everything is properly connected.  I've had problems with colours disappearing due to a faulty connection in the VGA adaptor.

  • I'm a new Mac user....how can i create a "sticky" with automatically reoccurring bullet points?

    I'm a new Mac user....how can i create a "sticky" with automatically reoccurring bullet points?

    On my previous Mac (long, sad story) I had Office for Mac and liked it a lot.  I was collaberating on some fairly complex legal documents, and never noticed any compatibility problems with Windows Office.  That said, it is expensive.  For most documents, I simply open the Word document in Pages and export it to Word when I am finished.  I sometimes get the message that there is a missing font, but the computer uses a substitute that is quite acceptable.  I have never had someone say that they had difficulty with a document I exported to Word.
    Numbers and Excel aren't as compatible in my experience, and I have gotten some surprises when I hadn't tweaked the settings properly when exporting to Excel.
    The other component of iWork is Keynote, and I like it much better than Powerpoint; to me it is just easier to use. I have never tried converting back and forth between Keynote and Powerpoint.
    Depending on what grade your kids are in and what they are doing, I think I would start off with iWork and see what, if any, problems they encounter.  Of course, if they are going to use the computer for a class in Office or its components, your kids are going to need a Windows machine with Windows Office, because Office for Mac is enough different that when the teacher says, "Now, move your mouse here and click on....", your kids are going to be lost.
    Hope this is useful.

  • HT204053 How to I get music I purchased before the iCloud was created to show up on my new authorized iPhone?  Right now I can only see the Apps I recently purchased on the actual phone but older music I purchased on my CPU using the same Apple ID doesn't

    How to I get music I purchased before the iCloud was created to show up on my new authorized iPhone?  Right now I can only see the Apps I recently purchased on the actual phone but older music I purchased on my CPU using the same Apple ID doesn't appear.

    Does any music show in the Purchased tab on the iTunes store app on your phone ? Music can't be re-downloaded in all countries, and even where it can be it will only appear whilst it remains in the store. Do you have your purchases on your computer and/or on a backup of your puchases so that you can sync them to your phone ?

  • Help!  Bought an IPod from a PC user, now I can't connect it to my Mac!

    I bnought an IPod from a friend who was using it with a PC. I erased all of it's memory and then restored it using the IPod updater software I got from apple.com. Now, I can't connect it to my Mac, and the IPod screen goes from the "apple" display, to the unsmiling Mac man on a file folder. None of the suggestions on the Apple support page seem to work, any suggestions?

    Put it in Disk Mode, connect it with your Mac again, open the disk utility and you will able to see your iPod icon there, hightlight it, and go to tab "Erase" and do a erase (format in Mac OS externded (Journaled)). Once it has been completed, do a eject and reset your iPod. Open the iPod Updater and plug your iPod back with your Mac, and click Restore.

  • I got locked out of Mac os 9 and now I can't get into OS 9 or OS X.  All I see is the Macintosh SE and a finder face and text that says "mac os 9.2 welcome to mac os".  I can't get into COntrol Panel to reset the password to allow me to get in.

    Do you have OS X and OS 9 installed on your Mac? If so, startup with the Option key depressed. This will open the Startup Manager window. Select the OS you want to start from & click the right arrow.

  • My Mac will not allow me to downlode the latest iTunes and now I can not connect my phone and computer. THis is very frustrating! HELP!!!

    My Mac will not allow me to downlode the latest iTunes and now I can not connect my phone and computer. THis is very frustrating! HELP!!!

    Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then  "About This Mac".  Write down what it says about "version"and report that here.  Now continue to "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
    Even my 12 year old Mac lets me download the newest iTunes.  Of course I can't install it but any computer can download the installer files so we need to know precisely what you are trying and what error messages you are seeing.
