Change / Customize the "You are not connected to the Internet" screen?

Well the title says it really. *I'd like to change the page Safari displays when not connected to the Internet.* Working for a business that sells Macs, I'd prefer something that looks a little nicer when the network is down.
I know that it's a Localizable.strings file...
(located here: Safari.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Localizable.strings )
*But if I change the wording in the file, when trying to load up the error page, I'm presented with "localized string not found".*
Any ideas? Thanks.

I screwed the edit up but: duplicate the file to be safe before the edit and only edit 2nd text area after =,
/* title of error page displayed for NotConnectedToInternet */
"You are not connected to the Internet." = "You are not connected to the Internet because you haven't paid your bill.";

  • You are not connected to the Internet- keeps happening

    New iMac- We click on Safari and the internet comes up and is working.
    Then for some reason I lose the connection at various times.
    The following messages come up:
    1) You are not connected to the Internet
    I click on Network Diagnostics
    2)Choose network port configuration
    I click on Airport
    3) Select Airport Network
    Select the Wireless Network
    I click the wireless network for us which is NETGEAR
    I click continue
    4) Do you use DSL or a cable modem?
    I click No
    Then somehow the internet comes up again
    Am I setting this up properly? Is there something else I can do so we don't go through this
    several times a day.

    I just purchased a new MacBook 10.5.1 w/ I too experience the same problem with a new Macbook running 10.5.1 and Safari Version 3.0.4 (5523.10.6). I have 4 other computers connected via 802.11g (PC's). The same message occurs particularly when another browser window is open. The browser seems MUCH slower than IE (bummer!) and it often displays the "You are not connected to the Internet" message.
    I have a longstanding, stable and reliable network so the network (DNS, b/w, connection, etc.) is not the issue especially given all the other (3) laptops that use the network wirelessly.
    Performance does not improve even when wired but again, ALL my other computers perform much better on wireless than this new MacBook. Kinda bums me out.....the laptop I was hoping to replace is a much older IBM Thinkpad w/ a 1GHz CPU and 768K of RAM but it performs much better than MacBook/Safari!! Puzzling given the 5 year old technology, less powerful h/w and Microsofts bloated code but its not even close.
    Any help or suggestions? I really want to love this machine more than the PC/MS platforms....HELP!

  • "You are not connected to the internet" message

    Until this morning, Safari worked pretty much ok. Now, when I launch it, I get the "you are not connected to the internet" page. Firefox and email work fine and network diagnostics verifies a proper connection. I can't even get to "software update."

    I have the same problem; if I leave the computer on long enough (usually asleep overnight), when I wake it up, Safari will present the "You are not connected to the Internet" message for any page, and Mail will display the exclamation-point-in-a-triangle for all accounts that says it's offline. Yes, Software Update also complains of a "network problem."
    Meanwhile, Firefox or SSH sessions via Terminal will work fine, and both network diagnostics and System Preferences claim that the machine is, indeed, connected just fine with an IP lease and everything. This is over a wired Ethernet connection, and, yes, I've tried swapping the cable between the Mac Pro's two jacks.
    I'm a long-time Mac user. I've fixed disk permissions; I've flushed Safari's cache; I've done everything described here. Rebooting always fixes the problem -- but it then recurs when the machine has sat or slept for long enough.
    Since Safari and Mail are both affected, while Firefox and shell connections are not, it seems fairly clear it must be a bug in some part of the OS relating to both those Internet products. It doesn't cripple the machine, but it's definitely inconvenient, which is not what I expect from Apple products.

  • Switcher found "You are not connected to the Internet" message confusing

    While demonstrating to my brother - a long-time Windows user - that an iMac solved all the problems with Windows XP that he is constantly complaining about to me, he saw Safari's "You are not connected to the Internet" message when the web server for the page didn't respond very quickly. (There wasn't any network problem, or anything wrong with Safari. MacOS or the iMac.) Clicking the 'Reload current page' button brought the web page up. He was angry, saying that the iMac was clearly connected to the Internet as he'd seen me plug in the network cable! He's using this as one of his reasons that "PCs are superior to Macs"!
    While I think this is probably a bit of "I don't want to admit that I've been wrong" coming from him (his Windows system has been riddled with malware several times, despite him having kept up to date with Windows updates, using the Windows firewall, a broadband router with firewall, and having tried several anti-virus suites!), I must admit that he has a (limited!) point.
    Couldn't the developers cause Safari to display the message "The web page you have requested is not immediately available, still trying - please wait." instead and then, if the web page cannot be displayed after (say) three minutes, and some kind of autromatic diagnostics show that the system still has a network connection, the message "That web page is apparently not available." Only if behind-the-scenes diagnostics show that the Mac has lost its network connection should one ever see the "You are not connected to the Internet" message, in my opinion.

  • The dreaded "You are not connected to the Internet" window.

    Is it just me, or are others having connectivity problems as the "You are not connected to the Internet" window constantly appears while moving from site to site or link to link?  I have a new iMac and just upgraded Mountain Lion, which I now suspect is the problem.  I have tried all kinds of hardware/software fixes.  Nothing works.  Sheesh!

    Thanks for the reply, Greg.  I do have my wife's Mac laptop to test with.  She's experiencing the same sporatic disconnect problem, too.  She's on wifi, I'm on ethernet (I keep my wifi off).  We're in a home. I upgraded our cable modem yesterday (after this problem started) and checked all the wires/connections; everything seems okay.  I thought it was the Mountain Lion upgrade, but this problem doesn't appear to be widespread.  Very strange how connection can stop and start (and stop and start) during a short period of time.  Never expereinced this before.  So now, a hardware problem?  But that wouldn't explain my wife's problem, so maybe it's the modem or the service provider (Comcast).  I hate like **** to have to talk with them.

  • ITunes could not contact the iPhone software update server because you are not connected to the internet...???

    Ok I’m completely lost here....
    I’m running Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 (Build 2600), I updated iTunes to 11.0.2.25 and some other updates for windows last night on my laptop. I try connecting to download the iOS 6.1.2 update for my iPhone 4 and my iPhone 5 via iTunes. I am getting this message for both "iTunes could not contact the iPhone software update server because you are not connected to the internet. Make sure your internet connection is active and try again." Everything was fine with connecting prior to running these updates because I downloaded the 6.1 update with no problems when it came out.
    What I have done so far with which has made no difference:
    Checked my internet connection
    Changed my internet connection
    Signed out of iTunes and then signed back in
    Ran diagnostics via iTunes, comes back with: Network interfaces verified- Internet connection failed- Secure link to iTunes store verified
              Connection attempt to Apple web site was successful.
              Connection attempt to browsing iTunes Store was successful.
              Connection attempt to purchasing from iTunes Store was successful.
              Connection attempt to iPhone activation server was successful.
              Connection attempt to firmware update server was successful.
              Connection attempt to Gracenote server was successful.
              Last successful iTunes Store access was 2013-02-20 20:40:48.
    Disabled firewall, spy sweeper, virus scanner
    start>run>cmd> typed "netsh winsock reset"
    Rebooted
    Checked the parental controls in iTunes
    Start>control panel>internet options>connections tab> lan settings> selected the "automatically detect settings"
    Deleted iTunes and reinstalled iTunes
    When I would "ping gs.apple.com" it would come back with "request timed out" no matter what internet connection I was on, so I went into the hosts file  start>my computer>(C:)>WINDOWS>system32>drivers>ect>HOSTS and added  "#     127.0.0.1     gs.apple.com". Now it will ping gs.apple.com just fine but still comes up with the "iTunes could not contact the iPhone software update server because you are not connected to the internet" message in iTunes when i try to download the update.
    If anyone can come up with any ideas that I haven’t tried, please let me know. This is keeping me back from updating both of my phones along with if anything should ever happen to them; restores as well. 

    im computer is connected i can go to the apple store through itunes but when i plug my phone in i keep getting that alert... i plugged my phone in to update it after the apple loaded the itunes icon and a usb showed up.

  • "itunes could not contact the ipod software update server because you are not connected to the internet" Help?

    Hello all, new to the forums.
    I've been recieving the error message "itunes could not contact the ipod software update server because you are not connected to the internet". This problem didn't occur at all for the past 2 years of using itunes.
    I've already scanned through numerous websites and forums for help, but none of them worked.
    This  set of instructions resulted in no change to any of the problems, though iTunes lists that as the supposed solution.
    # Open Internet Options from control panel.
    # Click the Connections tab.
    # Click the LAN Settings button.
    # Select the Automatically detect settings checkbox.
    Others include installing IE7, which that didn't work either.
    Can anyone help?

    We (my son and me)  Setting's we changed to GOOGLE like you said.  Listen, we are new tothis and trying very hard to get it to operate.  Had it since last Wednesday and still trying to get it to operate.  I know it will take time, but it VERY upsetting. 

  • You Are Not Connected to the Internet - it happens too often

    Month old MBP.
    Very often I'm surfing the net wirelessly and the next thing I get is the annoying message saying: You Are Not Connected to the Internet. This happens at my office (closed network), my house (closed network, and at a friend's house (open network). I am sure if I were to wirelessly use the MBP elsewhere I would frequently get the same message.
    So I click on the Network Diagnostics button... it shows the two bottom buttons in red (internet & server), so I click through the procedure... it says there is nothing wrong and the two bottom lights change back to green. In other instances, it gets to the end of the process and asks to restart a device, so I click OK (without touching the modem or restarting anything) and the two green lights appear again; leaving me able to surf as per usual.
    I now have to leave Network Diagnostics open so I can quickly fix the connection.
    Any ideas?

    This happens all the time to my 2-year old 17" and never to my brother's 15" that was purchased in August. I still have a Wi-Fi connection but the internet isn't working. Usually going down to the basement and resetting my airport and DSL box does the trick, but it's still a pain in the behind. I think I read somewhere that Apple knows about and is working on this issue.

    I have attempted all of the above suggestions and am still receiving the same error message. I have also turned my internet security off and have received the same message. I am using a dongle for my internet, would this make a difference?

    Okay I haven't been able to update my iPhone ever since I updated my iTunes to the 8.0 version either! I just followed your instructions and changed the setting on my control panel and then asked to update and it started updating and after about 10 seconds it popped up with the same message that iTunes could not contact the iPhone software update because you are not connected to the internet. Check back or try again later or whatever. So I went back to the Internet Connections to make sure that my changes saved and they did but it still will not update my phone...this is soooo frustrating!!!! Please help!

  • Solved: message "You are not connected to the Internet" after idle sleep

    Summary: What worked for me was to turn off IPv4 and IPv6 on my unused interface.
    The problem was that after my computer had been in sleep mode, Safari would say:
    "You are not connected to the Internet."
    or "softwareupdate -l" would say:
    "This computer’s Internet connection appears to be offline."
    Yet Firefox worked OK and traceroute also showed the connection was fine.
    Digging deeper (though only later, after I found the command), "scutil -r" indicated a problem with DNS lookup:
    $ scutil -r developer.apple.com
    Not Reachable
    $ scutil -r 17.254.2.129
    Reachable
    I'm using 10.6.6 on a Mini (model Macmini1,1), which has a wired ethernet connection on en0 and an AirPort on en1. I use the wired connection, but I also configured the AirPort just because, and then turned it off in the network preferences. I use a static (manually-configured) IPv4 address on en0 and DHCP on en1 (when it's up, which is only for experimenting). I don't use IPv6 as such, though I've left it enabled.
    I was initially confused, thinking the problem was intermittent, though it's not. I tended to assume that because the display had gone into standby the computer must be sleeping, without checking that the power light was dimming and brightening, indicating sleep mode. Later I found the "pmset -g" command to display the power management settings. Among the settings is:
    ttyskeepawake 1
    This means that if I had a shell session open in Terminal, which I did quite often when investigating the problem, the computer put itself into idle sleep later than if I didn't have the session open. The times in Energy Saver settings in System Preferences seem not to be very accurate anyway. For instance, with the default computer sleep and display sleep settings of 10 minutes and a shell session open, I've seen it take 17m25s for the display to blank and a further 14m16s for the computer to sleep, for a total of 31m41s.
    The problem only occurs after an idle wait. It doesn't occur after a software sleep (entered from the Sleep entry in the Apple menu or using the keyboard shortcut) or after pressing the power button momentarily.
    One way I found to fix the problem was to turn the AirPort on and then off again through Network Preferences (or the menu bar item). Later I found that disconnecting and reconnecting the ethernet cable also fixed the problem. I hoped to find a better way.
    What led me to this halfway house solution was noticing that if I turned the AirPort on and then off again, entries for en1 still remained in the routing table. These entries were for IPv6 link-local and multicast networks, as in this edited output from "netstat -nr":
    Internet6:
    Destination Gateway Flags Netif Expire
    ::1 ::1 UH lo0
    fe80::%lo0/64 fe80::1%lo0 Uc lo0
    fe80::1%lo0 link#1 UHL lo0
    fe80::%en0/64 link#4 UC en0
    fe80::216:cbff:fexx:xxxx%en0 0:16:cb:xx:xx:xx UHL lo0
    fe80::%en1/64 link#6 UC en1
    ff01::/32 ::1 Um lo0
    ff02::/32 ::1 UmC lo0
    ff02::/32 link#4 UmC en0
    ff02::/32 link#6 UmC en1
    Even with the AirPort switched off, ifconfig showed it as being up:
    en1: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
    ether 00:17:f2:xx:xx:xx
    media: autoselect (<unknown type>)
    status: inactive
    I don't know if these observations are relevant, but anyway they led me to the solution (well, workaround). The way I finally fixed the problem was as follows.
    1. Create a new location in Network Preferences. (This isn't strictly necessary, but it allowed me to keep the AirPort configuration (including my wireless password) intact in the default Automatic location.)
    * Click on the Location pull-down
    * Click Edit Locations...
    * Click +
    * Enter new location name (I called mine Wired-static)
    2. Configure the Ethernet interface with its static address. (If using DHCP, I'd have skipped this step as DHCP is the default.)
    3. Go to the AirPort configuration (even though it's shown as Off).
    * Click on Advanced
    * Click on TCP/IP
    * Select Off for both IPv4 and IPv6
    4. After clicking Apply in Network Preferences, a new "Location" item appears in the Apple menu between "Dock" and "Recent Items". Select the new location. This setting sticks across boots.
    I hope this helps anyone else in a similar situation. Maybe if you use wireless it would help to turn off IPv4 and IPv6 on the Ethernet interface?
