Can't get online in Lion!

I have a Mac Pro without an airport card so I've connected to Airport using the USB connector "AeroLite 802.11g USB Adapter for Mac/PC" manufactured by Macsense.
The software that I used to connect to the internet through that dongle is called "AeroLite" but now that I upgraded to 10.7 Lion that application wont load and I can't connect to the internet.  Can someone please help asap?
Also, not sure if this is related, but in Lion my Magic Trackpad can't be recognized by the system and I have to use my old trackball.
Thanks!
Tony

So am I screwed here guys or what?  I found a temporary solution by hardwiring into the modem, but my landlord needs to use the Airport Express, which doesn't have an ethernet port for plugging into.
Should I buy an Airport Card to put in the Mac Pro?  Or an Airport Extreme base with hard wire ports to plug into?
Please help!  Tony

    Hi,
    Also try turning Off Face Time
    Open Face Time
    Go to the Preferences
    Set it to Off.
    Also make sure your router has the Time and Date/Time Zone set as this upsets Face Time which in turn upsets IChat

  • I reset my WRT54G and now I can't get online.

    I did a factory reset of my WRT54G v.2 last night after I was unable to access the router's setting to set up a WEP password (couldn't remember login/pass and the default login wasn't working) and now I can not connect to the internet through my router.
    -I have no problem getting online when I run directly through my DSL modem.
    -I called my ISP to see what they recommended- someone told me perhaps a modem reset would help. I'm on a DSL modem, which they had me configure to PPOE. I set up the router for PPOE under the basic settings tab, adding my user name and password. I changed no other settings. Basically my ISP said everything was normal on their end.
    -I've Downloaded the firmware and updated that through the router
    -When the router is fully connected there are no light anomalies that I know of (WLAN light and 1 & 2 ports are solid, internet light blinks once every 5 seconds or so).
    -I've tried powering down, unplugging, and waiting- all the usual tips.
    -My wireless computers acknowledge the router's existence, but like the wired computers, are unable to connect to the internet.
    -On my network's properties the number of packets sent and received climbs at a very small rate, but they do increase (I'm told that activity is a good sign).
    -One of the oddest things is, when I attempt to run the installation software, when connected to the internet directly through my modem, as suggested by the installation wizard, the first step that attempts to check for an internet connection says it can't find a connection even though I can browse the web perfectly fine.
    EDIT: I think this might be caused by my ethernet cable/network running through a secondary port in the back of my PC. The start up disk is looking for a signal from the default/1st port and therefore getting no connection, even though my computer is online. Will have to check this later.
    -When connected to my modem, I run cmd then ipconfig, my IP address is
    192.168.1.13, is there something I need to do with this in the router set up?
    Does anyone have any idea what I could be doing differently? I've reset my router before and never been this stuck. I called customer support but they basically wanted $40 to troubleshoot my router as the warranty has expired and I'd almost rather just buy a new one.

    "You have to change your router's IP address to be able to access it. It will not give you the internet."
    I'm not sure what that means Richard, but I did change the router's IP address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.5.1- isn't that what you meant in your first post. I know that isn't reflected in my screen capture that I took last night, but I did do that this morning after I read your post.
    "Log on to your router and change two settings.
    Change the setting in Setup from PPPoE to Automatic Configuration-DHCP and click on save.
    Click on Advance Routing and change the setting from Gateway to Router then click on save."
    I did this and still same results as far as I can tell. Can't get online through the router.
    "Click on MAC address clone under setup tab ... click enable & click clone ...click save settings ... Check the IPaddress under WAN page ....
    If getting IP in public range .... try going online ...."
    I tried this- at least to the part about checking the IP address under WAN. I assume you mean the WAN page in the modem setup- nothing looked any different after trying what you suggested, and I'm not really sure where I would be "getting IP in public range" or what that means.
    I'm about to give up and just buy a new router to see if I can get the same lack of results with a different one. My ISP maintains that everything is set up correctly on their end and really can't do anything more for me. The Modem works and is set up correctly and they can give tech support for a router.
    Here's what my basic setup looks like now:

    Modem setup looks the same

    What, specifically, is your Mac model?
    MacBook Pro, but need the year it was released, processor speed, etc. This will determine if it *can* be upgraded further.

  • Can't get online- even with strong signal- HELP PLEASE!!!

    I have an ibook G4 with an Airport Extreme Card. For the past few months I have been able to go online at home, with absolutely no problems. My desktop at home is a PC with high-speed modem and a wireless router connected. I also travel to school on a regular basis and can connect wirelessly there as well. My problem is, that for the past few days, I can't get online at home. I have a strong signal with the airport card, but both Safari and Firefox say "not connected to the internet" and tell me to refer to Network Diagnostics. I can't figure out why I can't get online. I have been at school during this time with the same laptop and have gone online with no problems at all. Not only that, but both my desktop at home, along with another laptop with wireless capabilities can also go online with no difficulties. I am new to Mac's so I don't have alot of knowledge. I am not sure if maybe my Network settings are wrong?? Any advice anyone could give would be sooo helpful. I have been pulling my hair out for days over this!

    Try the following:
    Delete Preferred Network(s)
    - System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
    - In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
    - Delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list
    Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
    - Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
    - Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
    - Restart, or log out then back in.
    Add Preferred Network(s)
    - System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
    - In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
    - Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
    - Restart or log out then back in.

  • Mozilla didn't work, I deleted it thinking I could download a better version. Since I can't get online, I can't do that. Now what do I do?

    Are you trying to reinstall Firefox? If you open up Internet Explorer on your computer, can you get online? If you can't get online there then you likely have some sort of connection issue.
    If you Can get online with Internet Explorer, simply go to [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com], and press the Download Now button. Click "Run" then install Firefox on your machine. If you still have troubles after installing Firefox, please let me know and we can fix those.

  • Can't get online after switching from a Dell

    Can anyone help me?
    I just switched to a PowerBook G4 from using a Dell, and now I can't get online. I'm using a cable modem, but apparently my Apple won't recognize it. I talked to Apple tech support for over an hour, and they sent me to the Apple store who, of course, couldn't duplicate my problem. The guy at the store said this happens a lot when you switch from a Windows machine to a Mac because the modem "knows" which computer it should be trying to connect to. My Apple won't receive an IP address from the modem, and neither Apple nor my cable company can fix it. I've never used an Apple before and I'm getting really frustrated!
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    You're welcome.
    Copied from the link I provided.
    The Apple Hardware Test was originally distributed on a separate Apple Hardware Test CD. The latest Macs distribute the Apple Hardware Test on a special volume on the Software Restore and Install DVD. Each Apple Hardware Test is specific to the type and model of Mac with which it was distributed.
    Since the Apple Hardware Test is included on the Software Restore and Install DVD that shipped with your Mac when purchased, Apple won't just send you another one.
    Your employer needs to give you the OS X install package that shipped with this Mac when purchased to keep handy. Although there is an alternative, to run Disk First Aid repair on the hard drive to check for any hard drive directory problems requires booting the computer from the OS X install disc #1 that shipped with this Mac when purchased.
    Check Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption for system troubleshooting procedures with instructions for running Disk First Aid repair on the hard drive.
    This is also recommended before installing a major OS X update such as 10.4.6 or 10.4.7 which is expected to be released soon.
    See Installing software updates for future reference.
    Since you are new to Macs and OS X, check Maintaining Mac OS X for recommended maintenance for OS X which isn't much but also good info to know for future reference.

  • Transferred data from old I-Pad to I-Pad two, can't get online or e-mail

    Just transferred data from old I-Pad to I-Pad two, both Wi-fI 3 G. Can't get online with new I-Pad--but can with old one. Suggestions? Will not use 3G with old one, only with new one. Have mobile-me account.

    Hi,
    Can't get online with new I-Pad
    Try syncing with just the default apps, not apps you have downloaded. Then restart the iPad and see if it makes a difference.

  • Connected to the network but can't get online

    Hi there- I have a WRT54G router that is wirelessly connected to an ibook. There are times that there is an additional dell laptop that i need to get online with and although the dell says it is connected to the network (with excellent strength) it can't get online i get the 'problem loading page'. I have used more than one computer with this router before, although in a different apt with a different provider (if that matters). Anyway, this is truly annoying so if anyone has any insight that would be great! I did read in the forums that its possible there is only one IP address, and admittedly my knowledge of networking is basic at best, i know that more than one computer has been connected in the past. I did try turning off the mac then connecting the Dell and it still didn't work. Thanks in advance for ANY advice! Sara

    Hi . go through this link for reference . Here , under the "basic wireless settings" subtab , you need to change the wireless network name to any non-linksys name and change the channel to either 1 or 11 .

  • Where can I get a mountain lion download or disk. Mavericks I need to downgrade

    I upgraded to Maverick when it came out. Unfortunately, I did not have a backup of the disk with Mountain lion on it. The laptop came with mountain lion preloaded. How can I get another copy?
    <Subject Edited by Host>

    If your Mac came new with Mt Lion Pre-Installed it will always be available to you.
    You have to boot the computer to the Online Internet recovery system by holding down the Command + Option/Alt + r key at startup and hold them down until you see a globe on the screen. That willl boot the computer from the Apple servers from across the internet. Once that fully loads you can use Disk Utility to repartition the drive as one partition to remove all traces of Mavericks and then use the other option, once you exit disk utility, to Reinstall Mac OS X and Mt Lion will be downloaed from the internet.
    You can also use that same system, once Mt Lion is reinstalled on your hard drive, to save a copy of the download and make your own Mt Lion reinstall DVD or Thumb drive. Google search for make your own Lion, Mt Lion reiinstall thumb drive for directions.

  • I can't get online wirelessly OR with a wire!

    Ok.. first I just wanted to reference this post:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=818858&tstart=15
    Now, moving on, I will explain my problem. Note my specs below. I am using a D-Link DI-624. I have been able to get online for like, ohh... I don't know the past 2 years!!! All of a sudden TODAY it decides that it will not get online. Here's some facts:
    1. I tried resetting the modem, and the router, and my computer (about 5 times).
    2. I have made a new Admin account to make sure it wasn't my settings that were screwed.
    3. I used Applejack to clear any other problems I didn't see.
    4. Any other Windows computer in my house is able to get online, so I know it's not my ISP.
    5. I am able to get a GREAT signal on my wireless internet, so I know it's not my airport card, plus I reseated the card anyway, and it still gives me the same vitals.
    6. I have tried to do a manual DHCP setting, and auto, did a new location, and even tried with a wire, and it will NOT let me get online, by anymeans.
    7. I have tried to go on Apple's site, won't work that way either.
    8. Sometimes my router gives me an ip address, but it still says I am NOT connected to the internet, other times I get that blasted 169.254.x.x ip address, which of course doesn't get my anywhere at all.
    9. I AM able to get on the neighbor's internet, and I get online, of course the connection isn't that strong so I can't stay on it, but I do see that it has to do something with a DHCP assignment? Right?
    I don't know where to go from here... I'm wondering if my MAC address is being banned from my router? Can that HAPPEN?? Sigh.. please help, I'll be waiting patiently by my windows computer for a solution... PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Here's what I get:

  • Connected to WIFI but can't get online

    I am one of the many it seems.. but nothing works
    Yhis happened suddenly:
    iPod says I am connected to my home network but I get a not connected error message when I try to get online.
    Did the reboot routine.. forget site and re connect..
    2 PC's on the network are doing fine.
    One PC got a message that there is a device on the network causing a problem.
    HELP

    Oscarl,
    You are on a iMac forum. There are forums for iPods. I would recommend starting here then reposting so you can get the assistance you need. Look on the left hand column and you will see all the different models of iPods. Choose yours and then you will be on the right path.
    Also if the iPod is new you can call AppleCare or you can visit an Apple Store for help.

  • Can't get online with 10.4.11?????

    I have a 2.16 GHz Intel iMac and updated to 10.4.11 and now I'm unable to get online w/ mail, safari, itunes, etc. I'm wireless with a Belkin N1 router. My good ol' iBook 10.3.9 is working fine, so I know my modem and router are working. I've read other threads on the topic but I'm still having trouble. Any wise MacGuru out there who can walk me through this?

    Well, I am able to browse the internet again, and actually i still don't know why exactly i wasn't before. The update seems to have fondled a bit with my network settings, the ip-address that I received from my local network had changed to a 192 number while normally this is a 172 number. After updating the network settings (actually nothing has changed, just some back and forth-changing) it got the right ip again and internet worked. I have actually no clue about the reason why it keeps changing ip's. Strange update this 10.4.11. Now I manually have changed my ip-address, hope it keeps working.
