Cannot Connect Mail / Browser But Skype Works??? All 3 work in Parallels!

Bizarre!! Since when has a Mac worked better in Parallels than in OSX??
Parallels works connecting to internet and email accounts but all my accounts and info/ bookmarks are in mail/ Safari.
Skype works on the mac via airport. Nothing else works via airport or LAN. I am in Singapore and traveling all over. It started playing up a few days ago.....Please Help!
All accounts are POP.
When checking messages it is the normal message that it cannot connect to the server.

Since your problem seems to be strictly related to OS X, and not Parallels or anything else similar to the focus of this forum...compatibility issues between Macs and Windows, you should probably post your question in one of the various OS X forums:

Cannot connect to internet but was working other day

Ok I have a wireless WRTG5 (or whatever) version 5.0
I have Verizon DSL and the wireless network consists of a laptop and Xbox and the main PC, which im on now. Last night, I guess we lost power for a split second cause the battery thing started beeping. My dad pushed the button, as you're supposed to do, to shut the PC off and then turned it on again.
When it was all done, nobody touched anything, but the wireless isn't connecting the net connection. We've had it working for about a month, maybe a bit more. I can connect, obviously, directly via the modem.
When I try to do wireless, the adapter connects to the router but then it says "You are connected to the access point, but the Internet cannot be found." Again, nobody touched ANYTHING outside of the button thing on the PC, which has been done before and hasn't affected the wireless. I tried resetting it, unplugging, and even repairing. Didn't work.
Any help would be appreciated, and this is my first post and I DID Look through the other threads, but decided I needed some specific help. I'm not ultra geeky when it comes to PC terms, so try to make the replies easy for someone like me to understand.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, it's my Desktop PC that the Router and Modem are connected with.
I went into the thing with my IP addy into internet explorer. I couldn't find where to change the IP and all the stuff with the IP seemed normal. None of them had the one that the router said it was operating on.
If I create a NEW umm channel, or whatever, will I have to redo the Laptop and my Xbox config wirelessly? I should note I had a friend install all of this router/wireless stuff for me, since I am nto good with this kind of thing. So, I'm not completely up on how to do all this stuff. I was gonna ask if he could do something but I haven't got the chance to talk to him, so I came to you guys.
That's where the situation stands right now. I just wanna make sure I'm not setting myself up for hours of work. I'm sure it's easy, since he didn't take too long setting it up. But I don't like messing with things that might screw up my system/modem etc beyond what it is already.

I cannot update ios as it says itunes cannot connect to internet, but it is

Hi everybody, please help me. I've been trying to update my ipad for ages. When i click update it says itunes cannot connect to internet, but it is and it works for iphone and ipod, it's just the ipad. tried with security settings as well, but it doesn't work. did the connectivity test and it says itunes cannot connect to internet...it is connected

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

My iPod is up to a 4.1 ios, and it won't update to a 5.1 which I need for some of my apps for school. It keeps saying that my internet connection is bad; but, it works just fine. What do I need to do?

If you get a network timeout error, then disabling the computer's security software duirng the download and update usually resovles that error.
If that is not the error what is the wording of the error message.
Note that only a 3G or 4G iPod can go to iOS 5. A 2G iPod can only go to iOS 4.2.1

IPhone 4 cannot connect to computer but will charge through wall socket. Does anybody know how to fix it?

iPhone 4 cannot connect to computer but will charge through wall socket. Does anybody know how to fix it? Can you please reply fast as i need to use my iPhone soon.

See either http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 (windows) or http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 (mac).

TS1398 I can no longer connect to my home wireless on my ipad2, have done all the suggested fixes, still cannot connect. Daughter cannot connect her iPod, but husbands laptop is connected to wireless.

All of a sudden my ipad will not connect to our home wireless. I have reset the wireless settings, turned my ipad off and back on, turned off wireless and back on, basically have done all of the fixes suggested and still I cannot connect. My daughter cannot connect her iPod either, but my husbands laptop can and is connected to our wireless. The wireless is working and until two days ago I had no problems connecting.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Can't Access Internet or E-mail but Skype Works

I am no longer able to access the Internet using Safari or Firefox and cannot send or receive e-mail using the Mail application. However, Skype works which indicates there is an Internet connection. Attempts to ping Internet locations fail. I also have a Windows XP computer which is able to connect to the Internet using the same Internet connection as my MAC. I am stumped on this one.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any help is appreciated!!

Resolved this issue by other means.

Suddenly I consistently receive 3 or more "Cannot Get Mail" messages but all messages are received

I have over a dozen email accounts on my iPhone, a mix of godaddy, gmail... imap and pop. All of them were working fine, and then last week I started getting "Cannot Get Mail" messages, 2 or 3 back-to-back, every time mail is retrieved.
The thing is, I am receiving all messages from all mail accounts, despite these messages. So I have no way of knowing which service they are a result of. I have gone into settings to each account and resaved it, to see if the validation would fail on any, but all are fine.

Have checked them online

Cannot connect to iTunes message. Done all normal fixes and not at my end as all else works. Any ideas?

Sorry to be more specific cannot connect to iTunes store. iTunes comes up fine until purchase then once password placed in it defaults to this message and cxl or reentry

There are a number of threads from other people reporting the same iTunes connection issue, it looks like there might be a problem at Apple's end - but you could try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works, but it probably won't until Apple's fixed it

Sometimes Firefox can access a website, then other times it says cannot connect to server, but it must be able to connect otherwise I wouldn't be able to go on at all! It's not the website, because loads of other people use it too. Help?!

Sometimes Firefox lets me get onto websites, then othertimes it says it cannot connect to the server, even though it must be able to because it wouldn't let me go on at all. It's becoming really annoying and I really need to use the websites.

Hi There Linc Davis,
Wow, you are the best.
Yip this is what the website looks like. Great job Linc Davis.
Not surprised that the "Shop" tab is missing. Darn.
Well can you try to access it's "sister" website: astralmusic.com and astralmusicshop.com?
Since you are awesome with the "Flash" can you investigate if this website has a issue withis this "Flash" too?
Please Linc Davis

Bizarre problem: Safari down but Skype works

Very strange issue with my MBP. It connects seemingly fine to my work network, but Safari, Mail, and any other internet applications fail to access the net. Skype, strangely, works totally fine.
The network works fine for everyone else (and my Blackberry) so I don't think it's a router issue.
Initially, I suspected it was a AirPort issue, as on my list of networks, the network isn't showing the lock that denotes a secured network, even though the network is secured, and when it's worked successfully in the past, it's always displayed the lock. However, I also tried connecting to the router via ethernet and exactly same set of problems exist.
Network diagnostics seem to think everything's fine and that a successful internet connecting exists. I've tried changing the IP address via manual configuration (currently DHCP) with no joy, and have also tried deleting the network from the trusted list and removing its password from Keychain before connecting again from scratch, also without any success. I've also tried flushing the DNS cache.
My gut feeling says it's some sort of DNS connectivity issue, and Skype is connecting to the net in a slightly different way and therefore is unaffected... but as to how I go about actually fixing it, I'm stumped.
Any help appreciated

- What error message are y ogetting?
- Frist try another network. Maybe the network is blocking those sitee.
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Go to Settings>wifi>the connected network and change the DNS to Google's 8.8.8.8
In the future saying :ive tried everything" provides use with no information as to what you did try. If you truly tried everything there is not way anyone could help.
