Changing internet provider - can't connect to Internet

Hi,
I've changed my internet provider (from Bell to Videotron), so from a modem plugged into my phone line to a pure cable modem.
My laptop (Macbook Pro) doesn't connect to the wi-fi anymore. I connected my cable modem to the time capsule... the light on the capsule flashed (amber) then turned into green (which is good), my computer sees my wi-fi name as available network, but internet is not working.
I assume this is because I have now adifferent IP? But shoudn't the time capsule recognize automatically the new IP?
Help, please!
I plugged the Etherent cable directly into my laptop and I can connect to internet without problems.
Thanks!!!

You need to completely reset the modem. Push the reset button if it has one and power it off for at least 15-20 minutes. Pull the battery if it's easily accessible.
(Cable modems "remember" certain devices, and they must lose their memory before they can connect to a "new" device).
Power off the rest of your network as well.
Start the modem after the power down period and let it run for a few minutes by itself. Then start the Time Capsule and let it run a few moments. Then start your computers one at a time.
Sometimes, you must call the ISP to have them reset the device on their system if this is not successful.
Please post back on your progress.

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

I do not recieve texts from iMessage friends when I am not connected to the internet(wifi nor 3G). Am I supposed to, if so is there a setting on my part to fix this? Even the techs at my provider can not give me a definative answer.

Can anyone advise me how I can disable Connection Logging in Mac mail please it seems to have been added when I changed my internet settings thanks very much

Can anybody advise me how I can disable "Connection Logging which has set itself up in Mail, when the settings were changed for internet connection I am running OSX mavericks 10.9.3 thanks very much

I certainaly did not turn connection logging on but the effect was disastrous. Mail would not respond as long as there was a slow connection. I figured this out through turning off all network connections and watching Mail spring back to life and let me search my messages.
Normally if a connection is slow to respond, mail just lets the slow connection do it's thing while everything else operates largely unhindered.With connection logging turned on, your Mail app is a slave to the slowest connection to a mail server (I have 8 total)
I had to crash mail over and over again to do a simple search of my messages until I happen to notice that this connection logging was turned on. I found this thread, turned it off, now Mail works as well as it ever has (very buggy but usable)
How dare Apple do that behind my back!? After all the problems there are Mail, they have the gall to turn on logging and reduce Mail to unusable?
I also deleted all the logs for a good house keeping seal of approvable. They were here:
Some day Apple might consider hiring a test team... instead of relying on all the users.

I can't connect my replacement touch to my wi fi, no probem with laptop,won't take password, apple can't help or my internet provider..any suggestions?? very frustraed!!!

Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings.
Then restart your iPod. Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPod touch. To turn iPod touch back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Of that doesn't help try here > iPod touch - Wi-Fi

Can't connect to internet wirelessly with WRT120N router

ok, it's nearly 4am and i've been trouble shooting this problem since 11pm... love the technology, but it completely evil...
let me start off by saying i'm not too tech savy. took a couple computer courses in high school and thought it was my passion but they got way above my head in college, so i settled for art (those classes are much easier to pass as long as you draw your homerwork, don't blow up your sculpture etc etc)
anywho, i bought a brand new computer today since i play wow and my old computer was nearing on a decade old and had nearly a dozen manufactury resets from all the viruses from downloaded music. i don't know the make of the new computer (just spent like five minutes looking over the box and it doesn't seem to say) and i literally walked into best buy and walked right up to the computer department store head and said, "which computer should i buy to play wow on for less than $600." he thought for like thirty seconds and pointed to an ASUS and i immediately bought it. took it home, watched tv for a couple hours, then went to set it up since i had a raid in like two hours, thinking, "brand new computer, nothing's gonna go wrong!..."
well it did. my router gives me grief from time to time, so i spent the first hour unplugging, resetting, refreshing (i think that's what the button by the blue lights that has the circling arrows does) and nothing. so then off to the interweb since... oh! this might be important! the one computer i'm on now that has a hardwired connection is running normally, not great, normally. and i just checked my mom's ipad, it's on the network too. my phone, a samsung galaxy s 4 had been connected since i had it, and decided to stop connecting when at least until i noticed i couldn't connect my new desktop and my gf's phone, an iphone 4 wouldn't connect either... in total, i think there's one wired desktop connection, my fail wireless desktop connection, wireless laptop that hasn't been opened in months, an at&t signal booster, an ipad, and 4 phones that connect when they feel up to it. my old iphone 4 i ran on 3g because it was more reliable than my wireless. there's never more than 3 devices running at once. i've seen a few threads mentioning too many devices on one network. could that be it? i hope not. we have comcast as a provider too, if that helps.
oh, and maybe i should describe my problem more clearly. on my phone, when i go to the wifi settings, it still list my network as one i'm linked too, it's just "not in range" and my new desktop can't see it at all. pretty sure it's not a hidden ssid because i connected my phone to it recently and had no probs. also, i'm fairly, but by no means 100%, certain that it's not the wireless card in the computer because i can see a few other networks and my phone had already been on it without giving me problems until earlier today.
if you know how to help, please be thorough in explaining it, and if i need to give more info, i'll try my damnest. please please please!!! help me, i spent all my money on this **bleep** computer and don't have anymore to buy another new router.

Hi there. To start, that blue button that you have been pressing on the router is the Wifi Protected Setup button. You press that button when you want to connect a new wireless device that supports Wifi-Protected Setup to connect to the wireless internet via your wireless router without having to enter anything on the new wireless device. So it means, you did not reset the router. I would like to verify with you though because it is not clear to me (sorry), how do you want your new desktop computer to work? Wirelessly or with Ethernet cable plugged-in? If it is for wireless, you will only need to connect the computer’s wireless connection to the router wireless network and to enter the wireless password if you have wireless security enabled on the router. Also, the router should be able to provide simultaneously internet connection to multiple devices – be it wired or wireless. Sometimes the reason why the wireless would not work is when there is wireless interference in the area that you will need to change its wireless channel to something else. To have wireless security enabled on the router is helpful as well in making sure that the router will provide a better connection speed.

Can't connect imac to internet through Airport Express

Hello
I am trying to connect my new imac (2.4Ghz,OS X 10.5) to the internet through my Airport Express (v6.3) but have encountered some problems.
The set up goes like this:
Cable Internet <wired> TP-LINK Router <wired> AE <wireless> imac
The internet is coming from my landlord on the bottom floor of my apartment so I can't change the router.
The router is assigning a static IP to my AE (192.168.5.101).
I am using WEP 128 bit security.
I have set the AE through Airport Utility to act as a Bridge.
On the imac I set the Network preferences to manually select an IP address (192.168.5.110) which is out of the range of the Router (192.168.5.101-108).
The AE connects and lights up green and the imac recognises the AE but I still cannot access the internet...
I have also tried to wirelessly connect my PC laptop to the AE using other static addresses but I still can't connect to the internet.
Can anyone please help??
Regards
Starwolfgang

Hello Starwolfgang. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The router is assigning a static IP to my AE (192.168.5.101).
Are you sure that this provided IP address is static? If so, you also need to note the provided DNS server(s) IPs as well.
On the imac I set the Network preferences to manually select an IP address (192.168.5.110) which is out of the range of the Router (192.168.5.101-108).
Since you configured your AX in bridge mode, your computer will be dependent on the NAT (& possibly DHCP) services provided by your apartment's router. Assuming that your landlord doesn't filter out any IP addresses and that the IP address you set is valid, you need to compare your iMac AirPort's DNS server address settings with that provided by your apartment's router to be sure they match.
Finally, assuming that your apartment provides you with an Ethernet jack, if you connect your iMac directly (via Ethernet) can it access the Internet?

Some of my Mac apps can´t connect to the internet, while Firefox can

All of a sudden, Safari, ITunes, Software Update, can´t connect to the internet. It happens in my office and in my house. Have not checked other networks. Firefox wors fine, as does Mail (for now). What can be the problem?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
As Guest, test. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on some Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.) Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Airport card working but can't connect to internet

hi all,
airport card (just plain airport card) is working and is connected to a verizon fios router. signal very strong. just can't connect to internet via safari, camino or firefox. running 10.3.9 os. i've rebooted twice to no avail.
altho, i can connect on my g4 powerbook using the same router.
why isn't the g4 flat panel imac connecting? any ideas?

In the Network system preference panel, is the wireless component
selected and in the list of items in the configuration the Mac sees?
You can drag the item(s) into preferred order of use, if there is more
than one, ie: dialup modem, ethernet connection, airport base.
If both computers have a similar operating system, it may be an
idea to look carefully into each, and not change anything in the
one which appears to work correctly; to look for differences.
Does the wireless router provide support for 802.11/b as well
as wi-fi 802.11/g? The older airport card runs on the older spec.

WRT150N v1.1: Can't connect through router, internet light isnt on

Recently there was a thunderstorm last week and it somehow shorted out my cable modem. (It was hooked up to a surge protector and still somehow got damaged..) The router seemed to be fine, however, after having replaced the modem, my desktop can't connect through to the internet nor my laptop on it's wifi. The internet only works when I direclty link the modem to my desktop/laptop.
I've tried unplugging the modem and router for 30 seconds then re-plugginging the modem, waiting for initialization, then booting up the router but i've found no luck in getting it working as it used to.. I searched up past posts, and the "Setting-Up a Linksys Router with Cable Internet Service" doesnt say what to do if the light for internet doesnt turn on.
Another odd thing the router does is that, for some reason, the 3rd port for ethernet is lit up when theres no cable in the port. I checked to see if the light would work in other ports when it was connected and it shows to work fine, just with the additional 3rd port constantly on.
I'm not sure if it helps, but after hooking up the router I pinged it and it responded with:

Anyone know how I can get this router working again?

Hm, i didn't see any change in anything after completing the steps.. I just had my cable/internet provider service technician come over and take a look at it. Basically, he told me the modem is probably fried somewhere and said I should invest in getting a new router. Surge protectors are apparently just a pretty name for "a good way to blow out multiple expensive devices." So now I'm out to get a wrt160N

Can't connect to attached-to-mac internet

Hello,
I'm having trouble connecting to an internet provider that has its internet connection attached to a specific mac address. For this i need to change the mac address of my ethernet card, but it doesn't work. I use snow leopard and what i did was sudo ifconfig cardid ether macaddr. Verifying with ifconfig cardid showed the new mac, but suddenly i wasn't able to connect anywhere. I think a laptop is supposed to be a portable computer that you can connect to a cable anywhere, but now i can't do even that. Does anyone know any workarounds or at least information on why is apple slowly killing us with decisions like this? Using airport is not an option since most of the networks i connect to are wired.

You're right, authorization is managed by an ISP. That's why you can't connect a macbook to another ISP than yours (because you can call your ISP and explain that you have a ****** computer and ask them to change the mac address on their side). One would change the MAC address of a windows or linux machine to connect to another ISPs, but apple does not allow that. It has something to do with apple tying their os to hardware or maybe it's yet another "feature" into their collection. That's why i'm searching for people with this issue and i want to know how they're dealing with it.
