After ios5 upgrade cant get out to the internet via wireless, it wont get past our Smart Filter (web filter)
I just upgraded my 3GS to IOS5, and now at work when i am connected to our WiFi I can no longer get out to the internet.
A little back story on how it worked prior to ios5:
I would connect via wireless, and then load Safari and type in a webpage I wanted to go to. A pop up box would come up, to authenticate me on our Web filter server (Running Smartfilter), I woudl enter my regular Active Directory username and Password and boom, i could then surf to my hearts content.
After the upgrade, I connect to the wireless, load Safari, type in the webpage i want to go to, and the progress bar moves abotu 3mm and then stops, I never get the smart filter prompt.
I have tried a full reset on the phone, forget network, reset all network settings, I even tried putting in the IP address of the smart filter box as a proxy and still it doesnt work. I have gone to smartfilters website to see if anyone else has posted there, or if there was a clue as to why it doesnt work, but nothing so far.
anyone else having this problem? any ideas?
If it wasnt broken, why would apple mess with it! a LOT of companies run smartfilter as well as other web filters. I thought apple was trying to seduce corporate customers, and so far a lot of poeple are dissapointed that they cant get to the internet.
tha
nks in advance for any assistance.

I am having the same problem. The issue also occurs with Safari on Mac OS 10.7. I work for a school and I am sure that other schools are using smartfilter too.

There are a number of extremly dubious sites which claim to offer Drivers for common Hardware, but actually are phishing for identies and credit card numbers and candidates to join a bot-net.
Make absolutely certain you load drivers ONLY from the manufacturer's web site. -
Connected to the network, but can't get out to the Internet
Here’s my problem… After my previous router died, I recently installed a Netgear wireless router (WGT624NA) with 128-bit WEP security, and created a new wireless network. My Powerbook G4 found the network, and I was able to put in my WEP password, and everything seemed to work fine … for a while. In the last couple of days, I can’t get to any Internet sites.
I’m connected to the wireless network fine, with a strong signal level, and I seem to be able to Ping out. But when I try to go to (any) Internet site on Safari, I now get “Safari can’t connect to the server”. I’ve gone through the Network Setup Assistant, put in the correct WEP code, and after hitting “continue” from the “You’re now ready to try connecting… “ screen, get “Unable to establish a network connection”.
I seem to be connected, but can’t get out. Help.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)Hi there,
A UPS (Uninterruptible power supply) is a battery back up, so if you power goes out you can finish up what you're working on and shut down normally.
I had a similar incident this week, power went out all computers, modem and router went out. After power was restored all started up fine and looked good. Wireless router showed I was connected to the internet but could not surf any site. I had changed my email account password several weeks earlier (email account provided by my ISP) and did not think this had anything to do my boradband connection, but I was wrong.
To make a long story short, I had to update the password as it related to my broadband connection. The connection was there, it just did not recognize my new password because I had changed it... If you control the account and you've changed any passwords associated with account yu will have to update or your landlord will have to update... make sense?

Connecting the internet via wireless
Hi,
I have a four month old mac book pro and a linksys router with no password on it..
When I go to school or to my other house I can connect to wireless effortlessly but just lately when I am at home I cannot get on the internet. I have a full signal and it says I'm connected but safari says I'm not connected to the internet. I remember the girl on the phone did something about obtaining an ip automatically but I can't really remmeber
the network status says im connected but i have a self assigned ip address and may not be able to connect to internet
thanks for your help guysOpen System Preferences/Network and select Airport, click the TCP/IP button and check what's set for 'Configure IPv4 using'
It should say 'Using DHCP', if not select that and hit the 'Apply' button and see what it comes back with ? -
Trying to connect my xbox to the airport express. Have wireless in home and do not have a ethernet point behind tv/xbox. How do I configure the airport express to connect to my wireless network and then the airport express can use its connection via ethernet to connect the xbox to the internet.
Is your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) a 802.11n model? If it is, you can reconfigure it as a wireless Ethernet bridge or ProxySTA. This would allow the AX to join another wireless network and have its Ethernet port enabled for wired clients, like the Xbox 360.
To activate ProxySTA, you must set up the Express to join a wireless network and then enable the Allow Ethernet Clients setting; both settings are located in the Wireless tab of AirPort Utility. -
After upgrade to 28.0 the initial password request, needed by the company firewall, is never popped up. Any site I try to connect to will timeout. I tried all existing passwords, and even completely removed and reinstalled Firefox. Still no prompt. If I open Internet Explorer I can get a password prompt there, and after I enter it I'm good with my firewall for the day, so I know the firewall is still acting the same way as before. I'm set to remember passwords, and my homepage is set to open http://www.google.com. So that's the site that used to hold the firewall login ID and password. Any ideas?
A firewall should never require a password, only a proxy would require such an authentication.
It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I have an iPad 2. After I choose to go back to default preference I can not log in on my Wi-Fi. It finds the right netword but still doesn't work. And I can not type in the password.
(It has worked before. I even tried to write in username and password on manual, but I guess I don't have to.)Try forgetting the network - restart - and then try to join again.
Settings>WiFi>Your Network Name- tap the blue arrow next to the network name>Forget This Network.
Restart your iPad and then go back to Settings>WiFi>Tap on your network name and see if you can enter the password to join the network.
You can also try rebooting your router - unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again. -
After ios5 upgrade can no longer increase font size on iPad or iPhone, any suggestions apart from getting a new pair of glasses! Also, the backlight on the iPad isn't as bright as before the upgrade, any ideas?
Hi Zak, thanks for the reply.
The filename is whatever is set to be the background fill of the site (I presume the desktop background fill, if mobile versions are set to be different). I've tried a number of different files, sizes and types/formats and the result is still the same, so as far as I can tell it's not the file itself causing the issue...
It uploads all pages (desktop, tablet and phone versions), .css files and .html files, and even the favicon .ico file but then hangs on the first image file, which incidentally is the background fill image.
The total number of files is said to be 154. It gets stuck on file number 24.
Yes the "Resume" dialog appears and upon clicking it just attempts to continue from the hang at the first image file (apparently 66% of the way through).
Re: the "BC site has changed" part - I thought as much but figured worth reporting.
... Incidentally, as I've written this reply, I left the "Resume" dialog open (ie neither clicking "resume" or "cancel" and just as I've finished typing it appears to have published the site successfully?!! (I must've left it for roughly 5 minutes)
Bizarre behaviour... I'm not sure if this will repeat itself with other sites but I'm sure there's a bug here that needs looking at regardless...?!
Any thoughts? -

since upgrading to 10.8, my wireless stalls out. The drop down under the wireless icon says “Wi-Fi: Looking for networks… and has a rotating gear. I have to turn the wireless off and then back on to get back on the internet. Does anyone have a solution? All iPhones and iPad and windows computers work fine.

The top of the screen has an owl like icon & then the following message:
Hey there! Looks like you’re using an old version of Firefox.
Don’t miss out on the latest technology & security features.
Get the free upgrade in less than a minute.Dear Colbabomb; thankyou for your links.
So far, I looked at your first solution, Revo Uninstaller and it gives you a 30 free trial. Ergo, it will eventually cost money so I'm leery of using those kinds of programs in general, meaning most "free trials" have unwanted strings attached and often are big probs to get rid of later. Perhaps you can assure me that it is easy and very user friendly, before I proceed. And I already ran malwarebytes and it found nothing tho the program still can't be uninstalled. I downloaded Adw Cleaner and during the install, my Norton's security popped up and warned that there were (low risk) threats with two of their "other offers" and i hadn't even actually clicked to agree either of them. Nonetheless, Norton warned me against the "lyrics finder" and "deal ply." In fact, there was a box already with an x in it, saying that you are accepting deal ply if you x on "next." Well, except I unchecked that box before clicking on next, yet when it went to fully install, it still showed that it was adding itself; so, just before the install was 100% completed, I had to abort the whole thing. I really do hope your other suggestions are programs that you personally know that they don't try and trick you. But right now, I would not suggest Adw Cleaner to anyone. I even read the fine print about what they will try and install and how to decline and it still tried sticking stuff on that i believed I had declined. Anyways, i have to leave now, shall pick up later this evening, if my pc is still functioning. -

Anyone know how to get out of the edge program?
I dropped my old phone in the toilet and it was not time for an upgrade. Therefore, I went to the get a phone under the Edge Program. I specifically asked the rep at the store if I could go back to two year contract after I paid off the 50% of the program and he said yes. I hate this program. I only did it because I needed a phone and was not due an upgrade. Now I understand that the only way I can get out of the Edge Program is to pay off the entire balance of the phone...which is outrageous. I no longer want to pay monthly installments. I want to pay a one time 2-year upgrade fee and start a new contract. It is my understanding my only choice is to pay off the entire edge or return the phone to Edge up. Problem is my phone has a small crack that I didn't realize was there until my son told me about it. If you look at the phone normal you don't see it but if you look at it from an angle you can see the crack.
I only want to get out of Edge. I will have paid off 50% by January and want to go back to a normal 2-year agreement...but I do not want to return the phone although I will if I have to, that is if they will take it back with a crack. Otherwise, I would need to pay the insurance to get a new phone and then turn it in. This still cost me money. I am contemplating just paying off the rest of the balance and then maybe it will say I can get a new two-year contract, like it does for the other phones on my account.
I have been a verizon customer way back when it was called Bell Atlantic Mobile and you would think they could do something for me since I have been a good customer all these years. I don't want to leave because I have four other phones and a tablet with Verizon but I will if I have too. I would obviously go to AT&T.
Does anyone, maybe a verizon rep, have any options for me?rellis64 wrote:

I'm not a Verizon rep, just another customer like you. EDGE is a payment plan, or Rent to Own, or a lease program if you intend to keep upgrading. If you want off the EDGE program, you can pay off the total balance due on the phone and keep it, and then you can start a new two year contract with a different phone.
In order to return the phone at the 50% point, and be done with EDGE, the phone has to be in good working condition. The crack means it's not in good condition, so you will be charged the full price, whether you plan to EDGE up or go contract. Either way, you'll end up paying for the EDGE phone, over time or in a lump sum. It was one way to get a new phone when you were not eligible for the discounted price on your previous phone, but you need to fulfill that obligation before you can get another discounted phone.
Do you want a new phone/different phone? Look at eBay or swappa, or check with your friends who may have something you can borrow. Or simply keep using the EDGE phone until it's paid for, then look at options at that time. -
Contacts error message--how do I get out of the loop?
Since the latest ML upgrade (10.8.2 12C60) was pushed to my MBPro (15-inch, Mid 2010, 2.53 GHz i5) this morning, I have been getting the error message "Contacts can't connect to the account <mail account name> Enter the password for user <username>". The message hangs from the top edge of the Contacts window. I have tried the password for the ISP mail account, the iCloud mail account, my computer user account, my keychain, my computer system administrator account, etc. I have tried pasting passwords copied from my keychain. The message keeps reappearing. The only way to get rid of the message is to quit Contacts. After about 20 password attempts, I get the message "The operation could not be completed. No other information is available about the problem." When I dismiss this message, I get the 1st message again. It is an unending loop. "Cancel" does not get out of the loop. Help!
Mail seems to work all right.I also keep getting the error message "The operation could not be completed No other information is available about the problem" but only with Contacts (the address book). Mail is fine. I can not tell what operation it is referring to and have not found any problems with the contacts themselves yet. Its a concern, and annoying, but I can't say that its an actual problem for me. A glitch maybe?
I did have the problem you are having with mail some time ago, but after I deleted the accounts off of my mac and iphone, then set them back up from scratch it resolved the issue. I seriously hope I don't have to do that with contacts. It would make me very nervous. -
