Cannot Connect Mail / Safari 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:

Mac connects to wifi, but internet doesn't work. Network diagnostics shows problem starts at ISP. All software is updated and all other devices are able to effectively use the wifi source.

Hi, KK93.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of the router and Mac can resolve the issue. However, try the steps in the article below to troubleshoot the Wi-Fi issue with your MacBook.

Also, see the article below to make sure the router setting have been optimized for performance.

My internet seems to be connected but since installing a new hard drive I cannot connect to safari,tells me there is a problem but not what the problem actually is,so I cant do any updates because I cant connct to the browser?Any suggestions.....

If you use Lion, boot into your recovery pressing Command and R buttons, press "Utilities" menu, open Terminal and write:

If you have Snow Leopard, boot into your install DVD pressing C button, click "Utilities" and press Password Reset

How is it possible that when I do have a Wifi connection, I cannot connect to Safari or Google Chrome or anything else internet-related?

How is it possible that when I do have a Wifi connection, I cannot connect to Safari or Google Chrome or anything else internet-related? Sometimes it does all work, but after a while Wifi is still there and I am not able to go to any website whatsoever.

Your network preferences file may be damaged, that would explain why you can configure the computer and get online but then when the computer wakes from sleep and needs to restore the setting it cannot.
Open the Library folder of your computer (not the Library in your user directory) and then find the Preferences folder. Now the problem for me is that I've not used Leopard forever so I'm not sure exactly where the file you want is or what it is called. In Mountain Lion it is called:
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
and it is inside a folder called SystemConfiguration. But I can't remember if this has changed along the way or not. The easy thing to do is to go back to the Network Preferences pane again and make the change I directed above. Then you can look in the Preferences folder and sort by date modified to find the network preferences file that was just now modified. Move it to the desktop, restart your computer, reconfigure the WiFi again and see what happens.

Check Safari > Preferences - General
Click the search engine you want as default from the pop up menu next to: Default search engine.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If didn't help, go to ~/LibraryPreferences
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari. If that worked, move the .plist file to the Trash.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
For Lion: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library

Have updated phone to ios 5 now i cannot connect to safari can anyone help pls

I have updated phone to ios 5 now i cannot connect to safari can anyone help pls

The same thing is happening with my wife's iPhone 4 and we can't figure it out. When placing a call, the screen freezes and she needs to restart the entire phone.
She upgraded to 5.01 this morning over the air while it was plugged in. Immediately afterwards, this problem started happening. We've tried restarting the phone several times and plugged in to iTunes but there's nothing she can do do to fix it.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

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.

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.

Im connected to wifi but the internet wont work?

im connected to wifi but the internet wont work how do i make it work

Go to settings, then wifi. There, you can choose a wifi router and if needed, enter the password. You haven't provided any details in your post. Are you trying to connect to a home network? A commercial network?
