Computer takes several minutes before connecting to the Internet

When I start my computer, it connects to my router but it doesn't connect to the internet. All applications that require an active connection time out. However, all my other devices that are connected to my router can access the internet without any problems
or delays.
After several minutes, my computer is suddenly able to connect to the internet and it will go on without any problems unless I restart my computer. Then, everything happens again.
Please help.

Hi,
Besides Cyber_Defend_Team's suggestion, I would like to suggest the following:
1. Try this Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools double click SERVICES go to "Wired AutoConfig" right click Properties and set the "Startup Type: " to "Automatic" (Assume you use wired connection)
2. Upgrade the router’s firmware.
3. Boot the system to Safe Mode with networking and see if the issue persists.
4. When the connection is not successful, please check if you can access the router’s management webpage.

My macbook pro (lion 10.7.2) takes several minutes to connect to the internet after waking from sleep. Is there any way to make this instant?

The message that comes up when I click on "TomTom Home Install" is "You cannot open Home Install because Power PC applications are no longer supported." Does this mean that the TomTom, which is absolutely vital to my life - well, not literally but you know what I mean - can no longer be used with my MacBook Pro?
What that means is that is can't be used with Lion 10.7. PowerPC was the chip Apple used up until 2006 when they switched to Intel. At that point, they created the Rosetta emulator to allow for PPC support for 5 years. They finally dropped the support with the release of Lion. It will only work with OS X 10.6 or earlier. The other option is to purchase a new GPS, which can be had for $100 for a decent one.

When i ask my macbook air to print it tells me it is looking for my printer it takes several minutes before it finds it and then prints, why is that as my wife is connected to the same printer in the same way (bluetooth) and hers prints straight away

As per my question, when i ask it to print it tells me it is looking for my printer this takes several minutes before it prints. my wife is in the same room using an imac also using a bluetooth connection to the same printer and hers prints immediately. why is this.

Perhaps you could try this to resolve your issue:
*How to Reset the Printing System*
1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse (or right click if supported).
4. Click "Reset printing system ..."
5. Restart your Mac
This will remove your print queues but not your printer drivers. So you will only need to add your print queues again.

I know it doesn't answer your specific question but you could experiment with another AUR helper. Or just use makepkg.

How can I deauthorize a computer that can no longer connect to the internet or is no longer working ?

How can I deauthorize Itunes on a computer that can no longer connect to the internet or is no longer working ?

You can't, which shouldn't be a problem unless you have 4 other computers authorized with the iTunes account and you need to authorize another.
Once you have authorized 5 computers, you can de-authorize all computere from a computer that is currently authorized followed re-authorizing the current active computers that need to be authorized.

OSX 10.9.5 start up takes several minutes to connect to internet

My mac mini has now got a faster boot up time since having a SSD installed. However, I have noticed it takes several minutes for it to connect to the internet. Under Login Items, I use to have my NAS setup to connect a drive on start up. But, I always received the error "There was a problem connecting to server." I removed it.
What I have tried so far:
Upgraded from 10.8.5 to 10.9.5, that didn't change anything.
I have a Airport Extreme router (7.6.4) and even swapped it out for a Linksys router to see if that was the issue. That didn't matter.
All new ethernet cables for the router and mac mini.
Firewall turned off on OSX. I have since turned it back on since that didn't change anything. I do have Little Snitch running too.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
When you say your machine is near capacity ... you want to keep at least 10% of your hard drive empty for systems usage. Less than that and the system slows way down.
One thing you can do is to use this tool to see what your largest files are on your system - move data to an external hard drive and delete, or just delete unused/un-needed data: http://software.filefactory.com/Mac/WhatSize_10-3-91.html
You might also run MacJanitor to run the daily/weekly/monthly scripts, which sometimes don't run automatically: http://personalpages.tds.net/~brian_hill/macjanitor.html. Some have found using a utility like OnyX can help with disk space. OnyX is available from http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/download.html . Note OnyX does the same thing MacJanitor does, plus much more.
You can use Monolingual to delete the languages you know you'll never use from the operating system - depending on choices it can save over 1GB. Choose language options carefully, as you can muck things up if you rush through it: http://monolingual.sourceforge.net/

How can I sync my ipad with a computer that no longer can connect to the internet?

All of my music and pictures are on this laptop. It cannot connect to the internet via wireless or ethernet anymore and I need to "authorize" my account on this computer to be able to sync to Ipad 2.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such a reason. Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.

MY computer sayd that it is connected to the internet in the upper right hand corner, but when I try to open safari, it says that it is unable to connect. how can i fix that?

I just got this computer today, everything works fine but I cannot connect to the internet. The Wi-Fi thing in the top right corner tells me that im connected, but when I try to open Safari, it says that I am not able to connect to the internet. I have done everything the computer has told me, and i still can't connect. I need help please!!

The problem lies between your router and the ISP.
Pull the modem or router/modem power plug, wait about 30 seconds and plug it back in to establish a new connection to the ISP.
Try another website, another device and see if that works if not then call your ISP for assistance and/or reconfigure the router.
If your router isn't secure and you had bad leechers the ISP might have suspended the access or perhaps met the monthly data cap rate.
See these links too.

Wicd locks up my computer for five minutes before connecting.

Hello, a few days ago wicd-curses just inexplicably stopped working properly. I can use it at both of my houses with no problem (for both wired and wireless connections), but when I try to connect at school or any other place except for my two houses, nothing will happen, my keyboard will completely stop working for about five minutes. Then things work again and wicd connects me to the internet. This all started happening around the same time as the kernel update a few days ago, although I don't know that it's a problem with the kernel or how it was installed or being used or whatever. I've also noticed some considerable performance decreases since the wicd problem that weren't there before. Somethings will freeze for a few seconds then come back online.
Whenever I try to use wicd to connect I get the following error message. I've tried to restart the daemons (both wicd and dbus) but to no avail. Any help is appreciated. If you need more configuration information I can provide it. Thanks.
DBus failure! This is most likely caused by the wicd daemon stopping while wicd-curses is running. Please re start the daemon, and then restart wicd-curses.

Hello, It's been a little longer than I anticipated but oh well.
I turned off the wicd daemon and that solved all the slow response/performance decrease problems I'd had before. I suspect that when the kernel updated, wicd hadn't been properly equipped to handle certain software on my computer, and this in turn caused dbus to act all wonky, and making some applications slow to respond. I would bet it was my wireless driver (the broadcom wl one) that was the problem, but I doubt i'll ever find out.
For now I'm going to try a different networking client, probably networkmanager although it seems a little tricky to try and get that to work in xmonad. If wicd ever updates and fixes itself, I'll probably go back to it.
Thanks for all your help.

Suddenly FF has started to take several minutes to load from the Icon. Thunderbird still loads instantly. I am using Microsoft OS

I use Vista Microsoft OS and have FF and Thunderbird icons installed. Over the last through weeks the FF Icon has often taken several minutes to load the front page. Thunderbird still loads fairly much instantly.
The problems became more noticeable following a recent MS upgrade

Email can take several minutes to download on the new iPad 64 with WiFi. I have an iPad 2, wifi, and another new iPad 8, wifi and neither has the time delay to download email. Please advise.

Email on the new iPad (64) WiFi version can take up to five minutes to download a message. Same message on iPad 2 or new iPad (8) with WiFi are instantaneous. Wondering why and how to correct.

Try quitting the mail app and then relaunch it and see if the emails download correctly.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.

My macbook pro will not connect to the internet, help pleaaaase?

I have literally been to countless forums and nothing has worked. I restarted the router for the internet, but every other computer in my house is connecting to the internet just fine. I don't know what to do, and this is incredibly frustrating. Can anybody help me?

When you see an exclamation point in the Wi-Fi menu, from the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts. You may get a warning that Wi-Fi is not available, that you're too far from the base station, or that you're using the wrong password.
Assuming that you've ruled out those possibilities, click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane and authenticate, if necessary. From the Location menu at the top of the window, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.

Only one device connecting to the internet?

Lost power from Hurricane Sandy, internet would not come back online, replaced the cable modem, now one laptop connects to the internet but not the other computers or iPhones or iPad. Comcast is USELESS (most polite description I have for them).
My Airport Extreme shows Excellent quality on all devices connected to it, but the Internet (brand new cable modem Motorola SB5120) shows yellow, connection: Disconnected, but does have a router address for all but one computer which is able to connect to the internet via this network. I have restarted, rebooted, and reconfigured my network. Why is one device able to connect but no others? What are my troubleshooting options?
Thank you!

Only one device (the laptop) can connect to the Internet?
Or
Only one device at a time can connect to the Internet?
Power off the laptop that can connect
Power off the cable modem and AirPort Extreme as well
Wait 5-10 minutes
Power up the modem first and let it run a few minutes by itself
Power up the AirPort Extreme next the same way
Power up the iPad and see if it can connect to the Internet

Connecting to the internet via an internet stick/dongle

Hi
I am currently trying to connect my eMac - to the internet via a stick/dongle and cannot find the appropriate vodafone software to make it work.
Software version 10.5 on the mac and have two internet sticks one - a Huawei K3770 and a K3571 both with Vodafone - Ireland
Any idea, please, on where I can download this software and anything else I can do to to make a connection to the internet?
The Vodafone software runs yet does not see either device. The connection through ethernet is great.
Lance

Lance,
First of all, would it be correct to assume that everything regarding installation and connection is exactly according to the mobile broadband modem instructions for your very operating system (see below for a link to the K3770 device guide page)?
http://deviceguides.vodafone.ie/wsa/home.aspx?Id=3992&hwid=3845
Vodaphone should be able to inform you about any necessary software/firmware updates (these may be carried out automatically).
Generally speaking, if a computer for some reason cannot connect to the Internet because of system software version limitations (which does not appear to be true here, since Leopard seems to be supported) for a mobile broadband stick, a workaround will become necessary. One way is to use a dedicated mobile broadband router (with support for the USB mobile broadband modem and the network in question) with Wi-Fi capabilities, and then connect from the computer to the router via Wi-Fi. Another way could be to use a MiFi device, which combines the mobile broadband modem and the Wi-Fi base station in one small unit.
Jan
EDIT: I just noticed Kenichi Watanabe's comment about the USB port speeds. This could of course be a limiting factor as well. Another one could be that the USB port is unable to provide enough power to the device. In both cases, a mobile broadband router or a MiFi unit may be of interest instead.
