Can't get on the internet with my new Imac.

My new Imac arrived yesterday. It has Tiger installed and a Leopard disk in the box. I had already downloaded my usb broadband modem's drivers for Tiger 10.4.5 from my Isp and thought it would be a simple matter to install them. No chance! They won't work. It's running Tiger 10.4.10. The modem doesn't sync up and the computer says it doesn't exist. Then I had the bright idea of upgrading to Leopard and using Boot Camp to install Windows XP. Big mistake! I've only got an ancient XP upgrade disk and you need a full SP2 one. But of course I didn't find that out untill I'd put the disk in the superdrive. So now it's stuck in there. Every time I switch the computer on it just boots into the windows setup. Pressing F3 just reboots it into Windows setup. Does anybody know how I can get that cd out of my drive? And how do I get on the internet? My usb modem and it's driver works fine on an old powerbook running Panther.

Hello again Nevertheless,
Probably! - Possibly! Almost certainly! Hmmm...
Belkin equipment has caused more problems than it had solved ( in my experience only )
Netgear equipment has solved all the problems I have, so far, encountered.

It's easy. It works and I DONT work for them.
Regards once more.

  • Help me please! I can't get on the internet with my new phone

    Can someone please help me. I purchased my Blackberry Pearl from an on-line seller and it was suposed to be new. The problem comes when I try to set up my e-mail account....I go to my e-mail set-up option and the only one that it gives me is " I want to use a work e-mail account with a Blackberry Enterprise Server" . Obviously I do not want to do this but I have no other options. I can either hit close or next and next ask me for a password from my Enterprise Server administrator. I contacted Verizon and after much run around they finally told me that this phone was connected to another Blackberry account. I don't know if they really knew what they were talking about or if they just did not want to really help me because I did not upgrade my account and buy my phone from them.  It sounds to me like they are trying to say the phone is stolen since they are saying that it is connected with another Blackberry account but if that were the case then Verizon would no be able to activate the phone and I can get it activated and make and receive calls but I cannot get on the internet with it. What good is a smart phone if you can't do everything it is supposed to do?

    Hello,
    Actually, what they told you is accurate. BIS accounts are what enable additional services (including Personal email). BIS accounts are all managed by the carriers. One BB, as defined by it's unique PIN, can have only one BIS account on one carrier in the world. If a BIS account exists somewhere else for a specific BB, then a carrier cannot create another account for it. That is the way it works. One of the reasons is of course to prevent the use of stolen items. That's not the only reason, but it's all irrelevant...if a BIS account exists somewhere for that BB, VZW cannot create one for it.
    What you need to do is to contact the seller and hope they are reputable. They need to contact their carrier and have that BIS account shut down. Only then might VZW be able to create a BIS account for you.
    Good luck!

  • Can't connect to the internet with an old iMac (OSX 8.6)

    My friend has a very old iMac, running OS X 8.6, that isn't connecting to the internet. It is connected directly to an Embarq (Zyxel) 660 DSL modem. The modems lights are are all lit, including the ethernet light. I've set the TCP/IP settings to DHCP, but I can't get into the modem to find out what the DNS is. I've tried using Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator to access the internet but it keeps telling me that the TCP/IP needs to be configured and activated. I've tried restarting the iMac after saving the TCP/IP settings, and have tried restarting the modem.
    Can somebody give me a solution? or a way to configure the iMac to view the internet?

    Mac OS 8.6 enables the Ethernet connection when you start an Internet application like Internet explorer.
    I've set the TCP/IP settings to DHCP, but I can't get into the modem to find out what the DNS is.
    I connected my Mac OS 8.6 machine via an Ethernet cable to my Verizon DSL modem. I used DHCP. I got back the DNS address. I was successful in getting Google to come up in Internet explorer.

    I suggest you try to find another computer and connected it to the DSL modem. This way you can verify that the connection works. You could try and find yourself a router and use it as an intermediary.
    You could try to configure the connection manually. You would have to figure out the router address and DNS address. The DNS Server addresses for Open DNS are at.

  • How can I get on the internet with my newly purchased used G5 Power Mac if my ethernet port failed?

    We just bought our son a used G5 Power Mac, but when we got it home and tried to hook it up to the internet, no luck. We changed ethernet calbes, tried plugging directly into wall cable (by-passing router), even tried to do manual config, but no luck. I took it to the Genius Bar today and they said the ethernet plug was broken, and they did not have anything for a "vintage" machine like this.
    The Genius Bar tech told me to buy a USB Network Adaptor, however no one (Best Buy, Radio Shack, even searched the internet) seems to have them for Mac. What can I do to get this puppy connected to the internet and how much would it cost? Did we get screwed?
    Here is the seriel # + info that the seller gave us:

  • I keep getting error message saying application did not initialize and I can't get on the internet with mozilla at all

    when I click to open the internet through Mozilla Firefox, I get this message; "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000006). Click on OK to terminate the application."
    When I do this, I have to click on it twice before the box goes away. I still can't access the internet through Mozilla.

    Well, if they are private range IPs it does not make any difference. Everybody use them.
    Anyway hide any personal information.

    I have the shortcuts on my browser to the sites that I go to frequently. It's when I press those buttons (which have always worked before and I checked their URLs) it takes me to the Yahoo Page not Found page. But then when I click the shortcut button again, it usually works.

  • Have one WiFi signal into the apartment for my Air, and another wifi signal for my 5c phone plan. Both from the same provider. Expensive. Is there a way to 'combine' WiFi signals so I pay only for one, but can get on the Internet with my Air?

    Have one WiFi signal into the apartment for my Air, and another wifi signal for my 5c phone plan. Both from the same provider. Expensive. Is there a way to 'combine' WiFi signals so I pay only for one, but can get on the Internet with my Air?

    Roamingnome, thanks for your response. Although I have been a Bell (Canada) customer for my WiFi signal for years, the 5c and its necessary mobility plan, is very recent. Some years ago, Bell supplied its own ‘router’ for my computer, and claimed that it was possible to get their WiFi signal only with the router they supplied. When I recently received the 5c, I wondered if the plan it requires, which is within the much wider, overall Bell zone, could be used somehow to get my Air online - some sort of tethering? - that allows me to give up the Air WiFi service and router all together, but still get the Air connected. Here in Canada, Bell Mobility and other Bell services are very separate. Any suggestions appreciated.

  • Can I connect to the internet with an Ipad in Santo Domingo, DR while I'm on vacation?

    Can I connect to the internet with an Ipad in Santo Domingo, DR while I'm on vacation?

    Lots of hotels in the DR have WiFi. And there is plenty of cellular coverage in Santo Domingo (and elsewhere).
    One thing to be careful of, the WiFi networks are usually not secured and are very vulnerable to people "listening" for passwords and user names, so don't do any financial transactions online and perhaps consider setting up some temporary passwords for the trip and changing them when you get home.

  • I work in an area where we use T one lines for internet.  I do have an iphone and am able to get on the internet on it.  Will I be able to get on the internet with an IPAD 3 that I have recently purchased.

    I work in a company that has only t one connection for internet.  There is no interet srvice provided in this area.  I do however have and Iphone three and have no trouble getting on the internet with it. Will it be the same for the IPAD 3 that I just purchased??  Want to be able to use the IPAD 3 at work and get on the interent and if I can on the Iphone 3 I'm hoping the IPAD 3 will also.  Any thoughts?

    Either your phone is getting on wifi or you're using the cellular network to access the internet. If it's wifi, then you just need to connect the iPad to the same wifi. If you're using the phone's cellular connection to access the net, then you'll either need to get a tethering plan to use your phone as a mobile hotspot for your iPad, or get a device like the Mifi, which is a portable cellular wifi hotspot

  • Can connect to Linksys WRT54G but can't get to the internet.

    PowerBook G4 17" 1GHz with OS 10.5.4
    Linksys WRT54G v8.00.5
    SpeedStream DSL Modem
    I am having a strange issue. I am able to connect to my wireless network with my PowerBook and can see the Linksys setup page, but I cannot get on the internet. If I bypass the router I can get online with my PowerBook. If I use an ethernet cable connected to my Linksys I can get online with my PowerBook. My Sony Viao can connect wirelessly and get on the internet with no issue. My PlayStation 3 and PSP have no issues. It is solely this machine that is having the issue. I contacted Linksys and went through their troubleshooting to no avail.
    Does anyone have any idea as to what the issue may be, or what I can try to resolve this issue? I have done everything I can think of and no luck. Any ideas?

    I plugged the IP address into Safari and, although there were 27 errors, the page loaded. I hadn't tried that before. Interesting.
    The fact that the ping worked means you are connected to the Internet, and what is likely failing (causing the "You are not connected" message) is DNS name resolution.
    DNS name resolution is what converts names like "www.opendns.com" to numbers, like the numbers I gave above, 208.67.219.99.
    Changing your system to use the OpenDNS DNS servers, as directed above, will fix the name resolution issue on your system.
