Apple Software Doesn't Connect to Internet

None of my Apple software seems to be able to access the Internet. Scratch that, Mail can download and upload mail, though it can't non-attached images. Safari just instantly pops up, "Safari can’t open the page ... because it could not connect to the server ..." iTunes cannot access the iTunes store (it instantly pops up a message asking me to make sure my network connection is active) nor can it access radio stations. Dashboard cannot make any connections either.
Firefox works perfectly fine (I'm using it to post this message), as do other third-party applications that access the Internet. I've done nothing special that I can think of that would cause this strange behavior. Everything was working perfectly fine in Apple apps land a few hours ago, and then I watched _Ghost in the Shell 2_ and when I was done with that discovered that the Apple apps don't work. Maybe the Major has hijacked my machine? Or is there something else that anyone can think of? Thanks for any help folks might be able to give.

Check that something didn;t set some proxies in Network CP, Safari & Firefox use different methods.
Try these for DNS Servers in Netwowork>TXP/IP...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
If those don't work then get Applejack...

After installing, Reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least if it doesn't fix it, it'll eliminate a few questions.

Why does Apple TV say cannot connect to internet

My Apple TV will not stay connected to the Internet. Message says "apple tv is not connected to Internet" after playing movie for a few minutes. My Internet
connection is good. Thanks much

OK, I figured out that I needed to re-enter my wifi password.

Software update - not connected to internet

Hi
I am trying to update apple software using apple update, but keep getting a message saying I am not connected to the internet - which I clearly am as I am on this forum and desperately seeking help. p.s. It happens with Safari as well but not Firefox (the browser I am using to post this). One thing I have noted when setting the proxy passwords and applying them, when I go back into the network setting the password have extended themselves by 3 or 4 characters.

I will call them tomorrow.
My ISP is Internet America.
I have been with them since they took over
Cyberamp back in the 90s.
I have DSL.
My terminology is limited. The local mail I am speaking
of is the program that came on my Mac when I
installed it. I can only access it when I am on this
particular computer. Otherwise, I call up Internet
Amer. webmail. The mail stays there, until I launch
my "local" mail here at home. This has never happened
before and today it brought about half my email over
and then just quit. Since then, nothing has come over.
I can go to the internet in every other way except when
trying to have my software updates checked. It says I
am not connected to the internet.
As I said, I will call them tomorrow and will post what
they say.
Thanks very much.

Apple TV does not connect to internet over the WiFi network

I recently bought an Apple TV and hooked it up to my Sony 46" HD LCD TV.
My desktop is an iMac running Mac OSX Leopard
I have created a WiFi network using the AirportExpress conected to an ADSL router.
The wireless network is working fine and I have access to internet through my iMac or other PC and Apple laptops.
Yesterday, I tried installing my new AppleTV following the little instruction book. My problem is that while the AppleTV detects my network (it shows up as the network) and on choosing this network connects to the network but gives a message that it has not connected to internet.
As a result while it synchronises with iTunes on my iMac, it fails to download from the internet directly. I am unable to upgrade to the latest version or play YouTube or images from my MobileMe account or log on directly to the iTune Store.
I have tried figuring out the problem but unable to do so. Thanks for your help.

I am having a similar (or identical) problem. I have a network running on my airport extreme. My imac and my girlfriend's laptop can connect to the internet without issue. The apple tv finds my network and reports that it connects, yet it doesn't seem to. I cannot access trailers or youtube, cannot update, and cannot play purchased content. I reset the apple TV, but that did not solve the problem. Should I reset the airport extreme?

EyeTV software doesn't connect to ATV2 via airplay

I updated EyeTV software on both Mac and iPad, but EyeTV doesn't connect ATV2 via airplay. All other apps do.

I had a similar problem: I could stream my EyeTV recordings (sitting on my MacBook Pro) to my iPhone 4 using the EyeTV app. (Note: EyeTV has to "prepare" the recordings for iphone/ipad access after recording them. Usually takes about the same amount of time as the length of the recording).
So I could view the recordings on my iphone 4, but when I tried to airplay the recording the iphone screen would turn to the "this content is playing on your apple tv", but the apple tv display would not change at all.
I rebooted my phone and then it worked, but then later it wouldn't work again. Seems like the eyetv software is a bit buggy.

Blackberry desktop software doesn't connect with address book

blackberry desktop software version 2.4.0 doesn't connect with address book on a mac os lion (10.7.4). Sync contacts not possible. Use a BB 9500 v5.0.0.841 (plateform 4.2.0.380). Any solution ?

You have both Desktop Software and Link set to open when a device is connected to your Mac. You need to go to the settings of Desktop Software (I don't recall exactly what to do but there should be some settings in the top right corner) and set it to not open when a device is connected. Once you have it set to not open when your phone is connected, make sure that Link is set to open. That should resolve your issue.
Let us know if that helps you.

Are you using any form of wireless security?

Pantech UM290 doesn't connect to internet when my LAN is on

I use the Pantech UM290 to connect to the internet (travel between 2 different locations). When I have my LAN turned on (no internet connection) which I use to connect to my printer (in another room) I can't connect to internet. Pantech says it's connected but looks like my computer is using LAN 1st so internet connection. How can I change priority so Pantech is always 1st not my LAN for internet access?

Bob, I am having the same problem with my UML290: I can't get my computer running Win 7 Ultimate to support both a LAN connection and the UML290 connection simultaneously. When the Pantech modem is connected the LAN shuts down and I can't access my printer or use a WiFi modem to share connections with Kindels and Laptops around the house. I would connect the UML290 through a standalone Wireless N router running DD-WRT variant but can't get that to work either. I can get it to recognize the Pantech but needs User ID and Password which is baked into the software and can't be looked up directly. Verizon needs to address this situation... soon!

Apple TV doesn't connect with sony bravia KDL-40NX720 TV

I'd like to connect my apple TV (bought yesterday) to my Sony bravia KDL-40NX720.
I connect the Apple TV with the HDMI cable but it doesn't connect to the Sony.
What can I try?

Do you have a 2nd or third gen Apple TV? The problem may be you have 3rd Gen which requires a 1080i supporting TV and I am assuming the 720 at the end of your model number means it is a 720i TV. That would support 2 Gen apple TV but not 3rd. Is that possibly the problem?
Check which ATV you have and the tech spec of the TV. If I am wrong please post again so we can look at other issues.
Hope I am wrong by the way!

Brand new Apple TV won´t connect to Internet

I just bought an Apple TV 3rd generation today. Unfortunately I´m having some issues installing it.
The Apple TV does connect to my wifi network but won´t connect to Internet. I´m currently using Time Capsule as router and thought that all Apple gadgets would have no problems connecting to each other. Both my Macbook Air and iPhone can connect to Internet when using the same wifi. I´ve tried to restart and restore Apple TV a few times and have also restarted my router. Apple suggested that when troubleshooting, but it did not work. Anyone who knows how to solve this problem?

I´m not sure what just happened, but when I woke up this morning and started Apple TV it worked. Haven´t done any changes in settings...
Out of curiosity, if the same problem occurs again how would I solve the internet connection problem. Yesterday I just saw computers/settings on the main screen.

Ten times deleting all apple software doesn't help getting itunes 11.1.4 to install properly

Hi,
Following this thread for a day now and done (ten times) everything that was told, but unfortunately haven't been able to install iTunes. Still getting a error message when (re)starting windows 7. Should I wait until a solution comes or should I keep on trying deleteing-installing-deleting-installing?
Thanks for all your efforts, but it hasn't helped me so far.
Kars

Same thing here. I finally got wifi sync working again by downgrading to iTunes 11.x.2 .
The trick is to make sure you remove all components of apple first.
Apple software updater, App support, Mobile device support and bonjour.
Then reinstall 11.x...2 .
On another note:
Not to further antagonize the issue but I wish whoever makes itunes over there sees this and gives users a easier way to go back to iTunes 10.7 or fixes these wifi sync issues for good and brings back some of the nice features like coverflow from iTunes 10.
Apple and itunes: I'm "Stuck in the middle with you"

Airport status ok. Doesn't connect to internet.

I boot my MacBook up, and instantly my AirPort status says im fully connected to my home network. I load up Safari or Firefox and it doesn't connect. Firefox eventually says cannot connect to server but Safari just continually says "contacting http://xxx.xxxxxx.xx.xx" in the status bar. It doesn't matter what website I try either. It just doesnt seem to want to connect.
Any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks in advance,
Curtis.

A quick and easy thing to try:
Disable the Airport adapter, then enable it. I've seen a problem with the same symptoms and that resolved it. The problem even persisted through a reboot of the machine. Weird.

Re : Apple TV doesn't connect to a Wi-Fi Broadband Internet Service using Airport Extreme

Hi, using Airport Extreme (Airport Utility version 6.3.2, Internet :DHCP, Router mode : Off (Bridge)) with a Wi-Fi Broadband Internet service. My Desktop (iMac), Macbook,iPhone,iPad join the Airport Extreme Wirelessi network (WPA/WPA2 Personal) easily and Broadband ISP Login-page pops up with username & password options. However, in case of Apple TV (2nd Generation Software : 6.0.2 (6646.81.1)), it connects the Airport Extreme W-Fi network easily but no Broadband ISP Login-page pops up with username & password options. Even using the Ethernet connection of the said Wi-Fi Broadband Internet Service directly to the Apple TV, no internet network connects. Please help.

There is no way you can handle login details with the ATV and there is probably no way you can do it with extreme in router mode either.. If you need to use a login name and password via a html screen then that is impossible in a device without html.
But your newest addition confuses me.
A slight correction in the question : the Broadband Internet Service isn't Wireless, but having Ethernet connection to the Airport Extreme.
So how do your iphones pop up a login page.
easily and Broadband ISP Login-page pops up with username & password options.
The alternative method is to use a computer .. login to your service and use ICS through the computer to the ATV..
See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jJe_BkQMRc
Or any site that shows how to route internet through a computer.
