AUtomatic Connection to Internet over wifi not working

Hi,
How do I get my intel iMac G5 to connect automatically by airport to my wireless network without having to manually do it everytime after start up or sleep? It works on my other ppc imac G5.
Thanks in advanced,
Matt

You might have more luck in the forum devoted to such issues:

Probably also a good idea to provide info on the hardware you are using to connect to the internet.

  • MMS over WiFi not working after Sense 6 Update

    A week ago Monday, the Sense 6 update hit my phone.  Once loaded, I could no longer send MMS over WiFi, stream Google Play Music over WiFi, access my content on Google Play Books, or back up my pics to Google Cloud over WiFi.  After several days of e-mails back and forth with HTC, it was determined that I had to perform a Hard Reset and lose all my information.  This after clearing the cache, re-booting, various Safe Mode re-boots, etc.  Nothing worked.  I finally gave in and performed the hard reset.  Now, the only thing NOT working is MMS over WiFi.  I've tried other WiFi networks and still no MMS functionality.  After about 10 minutes, I get a red triangle next to the message and an error notification, "Generic Network Failure."
    This is going to start costing me money.  Like so many of us, I no longer have unlimited data.  Now, every time I want to send an MMS, I have to use my data plan.  Not cool.  I'm hoping that someone sees this and is working on the problem.  I love my HTC One (M7), I really do.  But, we're talking basic smart phone functionality.  Without it, I'll be looking for another phone, and perhaps even another carrier.  I'd prefer not to do that, but so be it.  Please, Verizon, a little help?
    For what it's worth, the MMS does this first.  Notice the little MMS icon with the clock lower right...it just hangs there first...and sorry about the shoe pic.
    Next, it does the Red Triangle thing...
    And that's all I know.  Perhaps someone here, or a kindly VZW employee will see this and take pity.  Thanks!

    I am having the exact same issue with my HTC one, which started immediately after updating to sense 6. Very annoying since I do not have unlimited mobile data plan, so I have to manually turn mobile data on each time I want to send or receive mms texts, including texts with multiple recipients. Did not have this issue before the update. Love this phone, my very first smartphone. But it is hard to believe that I was able to send pics over text with my old flip phone with no data plan. And now I can't with the HTC. I just can't have the mobile data on at all Times. It has become very inconvenient ever since the upgrade. Wish I had never done sense 6.

  • Time Machine backup over wifi not working after upgrade to 10.6.3

    I have a firewire external hard disk connected to directly into my imac which I use for back-up. The imac is wired into an ethernet LAN. I also backup my MacBook Pro to the same hard disk. The MacBook is connected to the backup disk via a wifi link to a router. All has been working well until I upgraded Snow Leopard to 10.6.3 and now the back-up is not working for the MacBook. The same thing happened after the last point release upgrade but at the time I thought it must have been user error. Last time I had to trash the backups and start from scratch. Can anyone shed any light?

    Try reselecting the drive (from the laptop) via TM Preferences > Select Disk (first select the "none" drive, then the correct one).
    If that doesn't help, try a "full reset" of TM on the laptop, per #A4 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.

  • 5800 won't connect to internet over wifi

    Ok, my 5800 xm will not connect to the internet via my netgear dg834gt router . The phone connects to the wifi connection but it will not load up a web page .
    It will work via 3g .
    I've been through the routers settings and the phones mac address is there and is set for access the same as my pc (which is working fine) .
    Anyone help ?
    Thanks
    PS I've cleared the cache apart from saved passwords and done a soft reset . It's running on v5 software .

    If the phone will connect to another wi-fi then its not the phone .
    You could try a reset .
    1. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data)
    2. *#7370# - Reformat your phone
    Lose all data so back up first
    default reset code 12345

  • Connected to internet but will not work.

    Hello friends i have gotten an iphone from a friend yesterday. I have yet to get it activated so im just using it on wifi for now. turned it on connected it to my home wifi and had no issues smooth sailing. I later that night went out to eat and connected to the wifi at Friday's, the place we went to eat. It made me connect to their wifi and for every app that i opened like snapchat, twtitter and instagram it opened what seemed to be a web browser page. and on the page it made me click accept to what seemed to just be a simple * agree to connect to our wifi etc. etc.* so i did and again everything went fine i could use the wifi perfectly.
    now the issue that i'm having is i came home and try to open twitter, instagram and snapchat again and a message comes up saying
    "Could not Connect" please check your connection and try again.
    i'm not sure if what i did at dinner last night with their wifi has anything to do with the issue i'm having now but it seems to be to much of a coincidence that i had no issues, do all that for their wifi come home and am now having issues. but i CAN use safari on the iphone but for EVERY website i attempt to go to while connecting to the webpage and before finishing brings up a message saying
    "Cannot Verify Server Identity" safari cannot verify the identity of "www.google.com". would you like to continue anyway?
    with the options of Cancel, Details or Continue if i click continue it loads the page but what seems to be a broken version of the page i'm looking to connect to.
    any help would be great i hope i put in enough detail i tried not to miss anything so i can get the best input from you friends i'm all ears!

    No, it shouldn't have any effect at all. There is such a thing as a coincidence.
    Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? If that doesn't work, try Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. I will delete all of your saved WiFi passwords but nothing else.

Got new linksys router WRT160NL , but situation same. Tried reboot, renew lease, forget network, reset network setting. Pls advice

    Have you tried a simple reset of your iPod to see if that helps?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Otherwise, have you tried any of the troubleshooting mentioned in this Apple support document?

  • Hi, i am not able to connect to the internet. wifi not working.

    hi, i am not able to connect to the internet. wifi not working. not able to find proper drivers for 32 bit win.7 os. need urgent help..
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi:
    I can give you the link to the wifi driver, if you do the following steps to post the hardware ID for the wireless card, so I can figure out what model wireless card the notebook has...
    To find the hardware ID, go to the device manager and click on the device labeled Network Controller.
    Then click on the Details tab at the top of the Network Controller window.
    Now you see a Property drop down list and it is defaulted to Device Description.
    Drop down on that list and select the second item (Hardware ID's).
    Post the top string of characters you see in the window.

  • My iPhone 5 will not automatically connect to my home wifi

    My wifes iPhone 5 will not automatically connect to our home wifi, she has to log in each time (she has ios 6.1.4).  Mine, however will connect automatically with no issues (we have same phone and ios).  Here is what I have done so far to fix the issue and none have worked:
    * I have reboted (hold home button and sleep/wake button)
    * I have reset the network connections
    * I have turned "ask to join" on, connected to the network, turned wifi off and then back on, it did not connect to the wifi
    * I have manually connected to the network through the manual option, turned wifi off and then back on, it did not connect to the wifi
    * I have erased all content and data and resored the backup from iTunes
    * I have restored iPhone from iTunes and restored the backup from iTunes
    My phone does not list a "forget this network" as an option on the wifi connection when I pull it up, so this is not an option.  So, what else is there to fix the issue?

    Hi there Huskerscott!
    I have some information here that can help you troubleshoot this issue:
    Unable to automatically connect to Wi-Fi
    Avoid giving your Wi-Fi network a common name.
    Some wireless routers are preconfigured with a common SSID (network name) such as "wireless" or "default."
    If your desired Wi-Fi network has a common SSID, try changing the SSID to something unique2.
    If your desired Wi-Fi network has a unique SSID, reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.
    Which is taken from this article:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

  • MacBook Air wifi internet shared network not working on tethered android phone GT B5122

    MacBook Air wifi internet shared network not working on tethered android phone GT B5122
    I have created a password protected wifi internet network on my Macbook air. I tethered by Andriod phone onto this network, but the internet connection works intermittently on the phone, and when it stops working the network continues to show as connected to the shared network mostly(other times it keeps renewing the wifi IP address on the Andriod phone).
    Also the network the MBA is connected to, is a hardwired one using a SSH login account in a student accomadations.
    I am not sure, but all the restarting and refreshing of system, phone and wifi sharing and re-enabling wifi is not reparing the internet connecting on the wifi network for the phone
    Really puzzled, if this is one of the Apple, Andriod compatability issues.
    Cheers,

    Hi.
    I'm having trouble with the wireless connection on my new home hub 3. Most devices will connect easily, but there are three devices that have trouble connecting. These are an Android Phone (Samsung Galaxy Mini), an android tablet (Sony Tablet S) and an iPod. All of these devices work perfectly on other network connections, and other devices in the house are quite happy connecting to the network.
    The Androids can see the network, and will try to connect to it, but when they do they just go through a loop of "connecting">>"acquiring IP address">>"disconnected". I have tried resetting the Home Hub with a pin, and that lets the devices connect for about 24 hours, but after that time they stop connecting again.
    I'm really not sure what to do to fix the problem, so I will very much appreciate some help.
    Many Thanks.
    My lads SGMini connects perfectly to our hub3

  • My wifi bar isnt showing up at the top and i cant connect to internet but its not my router

    my wifi bar isnt showing up at the top and i cant connect to internet but its not my router? HELP HOW DO i get wifi back

    I recommend that you start with taking a look at the Apple Support article to help you troubleshoot what the issue may be.
    If that still doesn't resolve the issue, we will need to get the AirPort icon back on the OS X menu bar to continue. Please try the following:
    System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Show Wi-Fi status in menu bar (checked)

  • TS1398 my iphone 4s can not scan any wifi network, i tried everything but still can not scan any wifi connection even though our wifi is working properly in our mac book and ipad. What do i need to do if the problem is the hardware?pls help

    my iphone 4s can not scan any wifi network, i tried everything but still can not scan any wifi connection even though our wifi is working properly in our mac book and ipad. What do i need to do if the problem is the hardware?pls help

    When you say it "can not scan any wifi network" do you mean it is not detecting Wi-Fi networks?
    Is Wi-Fi turned on in Settings > General > Wi-Fi?
    Have you tried Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?
    Is it just the home network that the device will not connect to? or any network?

  • My Next G Bigpond internet device will not work once I installed firefox. How do I change this without being connected to the internet?

    Hi. I installed Firefox yesterday as part of a work requirement. Since then, my Next G internet device will not work. How do I change the settings on Firefox without being connected to the internet? I have had to uninstall Firefox so I can use the internet.
    Please help as I need both simultaneously. Thank you.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Help!  Safari / Firefox won't connect to internet on WiFi?!

    I can't connect to internet using WiFi from Safari OR Firefox from my home WiFi (Apple WiFi router.)
    Here are weird facts:
    - They both work from this laptop at home using Ethernet
    - They both worked at AppleStore WiFI today
    - Internet at home is fine from other MacBook, iPad and 2 iPhones
    AppleStore guy reset a lot of Safari and network settings, suggesting that would fix anything, but it still does not work from this laptop at home over WiFi?!
    Any ideas?!
    Thanks!
    Mark

    Thanks, Linc.  FYI, I don't believe I've installed any new 3rd pary items for some time (although some of them may have updated to newer versions more recently?)
    I've posted output from Terminal commands below.  Let me know what you see in it!
    FYI, I've been considering updating to Lion OS.  Would that a) help me with this situation, and/or b) cause me other new problems?!
    Thanks,

  • TS1398 Having trouble accessing the internet over wifi on my iPhone 5.

    Hello, I have a nearly brand new iPhone 5 in perfect condition. So far, I have had not problems with it, however recently, I have had major issues connecting to the internet over wifi. Some things that would happen would be apps that require an internet connection time out, and pages don't load in safari, and the reliabilty would be off and on.However after switching the wifi off and going off of my 4g, the connection was fast and I experianced no problems. I am positive this is not a problem with my home network, because my household had lots of people and LOTS of electronic devices that connect to the internet with no problem. I also have an ipod touch 4th generation that has been able to connect and browse the internet with no problem, it's just the iPhone that is being slow. Also, this isn't really a consistant pattern, occasionaly I will get it to work for like five minutes with no problems then it just time out on whatever it's doing.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Well it might still be the Mavericks Wifi issue... slow throughput on an apparently strong signal is part of its behavior from what I've read.  So to recap You got a signal (fairly Strong) appeared to be connected but Safari could not display the welcome page.
    I'll share something I do in a case like that. I use Firefox. I keep a copy of Firefox, Opera and Chrome on my laptop because some sites use non-standard web code and the different browsers "play" better with the server/router. Safari is a lot better than it was when it first stared out but there are some sites put together (especially financial sites) that just won't let Safari play (they can code to prevent that).
    If you have time between flights download Firefox and give it a shot... at this you have nothing to lose.
    Good Luck.

  • I keep getting error message " server stopped responding" when trying to connect to internet via wifi

    My iphone works fine using cellar network, but will not connect to internet via wifi. Ive reset network setting with no diffrence.
    Any ideas?

    And you can turn the WiFi button on and off?
    If yes, then you next need to try to Restore your iPhone from your backup.
