Connecting automatically to the internet

My computer used to connect to the internet straight away as it was turned on (wireless), but after a problem with downloading rental films with Itunes store, it has stopped connecting automatically. The fix for the film rentals was to delete a file called SC i think. I have had a dig around in all the network tabs, and cannot seem to find a fix. Would anyone be able to offer any advice?

you can go to system preferences>accounts, unlock it, go to login items, click the +button, click on applications, click safari, click add. when you log in click safari in your dock it ll be open. If you don't want to deal with a password, You can go to login options on the password side and select off, you won't have enter a password. But either way safari will be lauched upon login, all you need do is click the safari on the dock. Password is your choice , I recommend a password. Oh make sure to check safari in the login window.

IMac Intel Core Duo no longer connects automatically to the internet

Since the OS 10.4.8 update my iMac will not connect automatically to the internet. It does show that it is hooked to my "preferred" network which is an Airport network but it will not connect to the internet. There are listed solutions but none of them work on my machine and there are others with the same problem. My daughter's iMac Core 2 Duo works just fine as well as my G4 iBook. I've removed all the listed networks from my list and added back the one I want, doesn't work. I made sure that Airport is at the top of the networks to try to hook to, no go. I'm starting this new post because the old one is marked "solved" which it clearly is not. Thanks in advance for any new ideas (actually I'm hoping Apple realizes this is still an issue).

ive been having problems with my inet. heres what will sometimes work but sometimes not, i wish i could offer a more solid workaround but i think it must come from the experts at apple in the form of a patch or similar software remedy.
when your inet acts up try this: unplug the power from your modem(i got an actiontec dsl with the lil antenna on back gt701-wg) i leave mine off for 1 minute minimum but that maybe overkill. i turn off my airport then shut down my apple 24". let it stay of a minute too to be on the safe side. i power my modem up and power the computer up. let the lights stop flashing on the modem plug in an ethernet cable from modem to comp and open safari. you may or may not get connected but wait until it either connects or gives you the cannot connect to inet. close safari unplug the ethernet cable. open your airport then wait till you see the black rainbows bars appear in the lil icon. open safari now and it should work. be warned this does not always work consistantly and it might open pages very slowly however it may give you download speeds of up to 700+kbps depending on the site and file size. i just did this to mine 20 minutes ago and it has been working perfectly again(knock on wood) opens pages fast and 5 bars on the rainbow scale without dropping off still. im not saying this is an answer but i hope it helps until a true fix is available. please dont be upset if it sometimes doesnt work because it happens to me like that too. i wish you the luck i had on mine today. happy early tday

How do i use my iMac and the macs wired internet connection to share the internet with my iPod and iPhone

My Safari Icon ( Button) is missing on my iMac after I downloaded a update. How can I get the icon (Button Safari) back on my desktop and connecting again to the Internet ?...
Thanks for the help

Often when people think they've deleted an application, what's really happened is that they deleted its icon from the Dock. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Applications
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. If the application is in that folder, drag it to the Dock (not to the Desktop or anywhere else.) The other Dock icons will move out of the way to make a place for it.

Connect Macbook to the Internet (VPN) through PC

I got a PC with 2 network cards and a Macbook.
On a PC I got VPN connection to my provider.
How can I connect Macbook to the internet through that PC + safely sharing my PC's contents only to my Macbook.

I did all that. My question concerns more the software than the hardware. I already said that I have 2 newtork cards in a PC desktop and one in macbook. I got cables. I plugged everything in.
The problem is that the preparation work is described in so many details but the crucial program work is very unclear in the majority of web sites I googled. I need this part.

Connecting out to the Internet using Sockets

Hi,
My project is an Internet Connection Sharing project where a no of clients try to access the Internet through a single connection (d main server). I've got a basic Java Browser that simply sends on the URL address ("www.java.sun.com") typed into a textfield by the user to a Server when a button is clicked. This is done thru basic read & write methods using an ObjectInput & ObjectOutputStreams. I've also created a socket connection out to the Internet by passing in the URL on port 80, thus establishing a connection... here's the code:
inet_SockCon = new Socket( InetAddress.getByName( str_Buffer ), 80 );
System.out.println( "Connected to: " +
inet_SockCon.getInetAddress().getHostName() );
The next step is trying to get the URL page requested back to the server and from there to the client browser where it will be displayed. I'm using a JEditorPane() on my Browser which formats the HTML data. If anyone has any ideas as to how i can do this it would be gratefully appreciated.
Thank you.

Use a HttpURLConnection.

How to confirm the alerts automatically in the internet mail?

Hi,gurus:
I wanna know how I confirm the alerts automatically in the internet mail.Now we have to navigate to the alert inbox to confirm the alert,but can I do it in the internet mail? I have confirued the parameter in ALRTCATDEF->CONFIGURE->SETTING->INBOUND PROCESSING,but it didn't work.
Thanks in advance.

hi,
I checked the library,and it says:
Confirming Alerts by Internet Mail
When an alert is sent by Internet mail, the Internet address of the alert user entered in alert configuration is entered as the Reply To address of the mail. An alert ID is inserted into the text of the mail. When the recipient answers the mail from the alert system, the alert is confirmed automatically. Inbound processing sends a status mail to the sender stating either that the alert has been confirmed successfully, or that an error has occurred. The alert ID must be included in the body of the reply mail.
My question is: How to reply the mail?Where do I write the the alert ID?any ideas?

Linksys E4200 - has to reboot to connect again with the internet

I bought the E4200 a month ago (replaced D-link DIR-655) and since then I have to reboot it twice.
I have a NAS connected to the router (and router to cable modem) and sometimes I have to FTP files from abroad. If I use the FTP too much time the E4200 just loose connectivity with the internet. Once home I have to reboot it in order to connect again with the internet. It never happen me before with the D-Link.
Does anybody has a similar problem?
Thanks!

Actually mine is working great now, almost as if it had a break-in period.
Mine has not flashed once in the past day (or more) and the last time I rebooted it was Wednesdsay evening (only to see if I could stop the flashing which was still happening
at that time).
I was also online on an interactive (gaming / gambling) site that is very quick to report what it considers "disconnects" if it sees any weakness in the connection to its servers and when using the E4200 it did NOT disconnect a single time all day yesterday.
(My Belkin N1 Vision wireless router connection via my Rosewill RNX-N1 USB adapter had been "disconnecting" multiple several days in a row although I was able to surf the web without issues while it reported me as disconnected).
Possible reasons everything is fine:
1) I placed the router's four ridiculously tiny feet on four thick wooden drink coasters
to give it more breathing room.
The flashing stopped a day or two later... (Keep in mind the router is less than a week old, so the reason it stopped flashing could be unrelated).
My wireless signal strength does seem to be sensitive to a 5.8 GHz cordless phone strangely even though it is a 2.4 GHz wireless adapter.
Just turning the phone (which has an INternal anntenna and is about 3 1/2 feet away from my wireless adapter at the moment) 15 or 20 degrees immediately changed the wireless signal quality from 4 bars to 3 bars and vice versa!!!
2) As far as my needing to reboot it that one time (during the first full day I owned the E4200):
I had been switching between two different model Rosewill wireless adapters a few times that afternoon (same chipset, same driver I believe and even show up as
same device in 32 bit Windows 7 Device Manager) without restarting the router after each switch
Since that one reboot, everything has been fine and my connection has been solid (pingtest.net tests over wireless produce an 'A' and speed has been for the most part relatively stable at 130 Mbps).
I hope thay helps others here (especially Part 1 above).
So overall I am extremely happy now.
I now just need to see what the implications are by the current lack of official IPv6 support in the E4200 (will post separately about that).
I noticed that my "IPv6 connectivity" on the wireless connection showed "no internet".
I just ran some IPv6 tests online (on two separate sites) and they passed and, lo and behold, now it shows "internet access" (again) for IPv6 (and not just IPv4 as it did before)!

N85- keeps connecting itself to the Internet

Hello!
My phone (N85) keeps connecting itself to the internet every minute or so.
This is driving me crazy cause I don't have a data plan.
So I had to check my phone every minute and disconnected the Internet.
Now I'm back home and it keeps connecting itself to WLAN.
What should I do?!
'Thanks in advance! :'(
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Actually, if you just remove the mobile network access point your phone will only be able to connect to WLAN and so no connection when out of range from your network at home.
First select the offline profile, then delete the mobile data access point in Tools > Settings > Connection > Destinations
Click on the blue Star Icon below if my advice has helped you or press the 'Accept As Solution' link if I solved your problem..

System Preferences > Network > Ethernet? If that shows "not connected" that is all your Mac knows. As far as it is concerned there is no cable connected to the port on your Mac, or the other end of the cable is either disconnected or connected to something that is broken.
Try another cable. If the cable is broken you will also get that status message. If you have exhausted all of these possibilities, the only remaining cause is an inoperative port on your Mac.

Why does photoshop download pictures automatically off the internet that I don't want?

why does photoshop download pictures automatically off the internet that I don't want?

Where are the pictures coming from? I would more likely believe that your system has a virus than photoshop, but without more information, I could be misinterpreting your post.

Can't connect wirelessly to the Internet

Hi all,
hope someone can help me with this.
I'm running OSX 10.3.9, have an ADSL Nation X-Modem and AirPort Express.
My wireless network is up and running, I have strong signal and AirTunes can connect and play fine wirelessly.
However, when I try to open Safari and connect to the Internet, it doesn't connect ("Can't find Server.")
When I plug the X-Modem direct into the Mac with the Ethernet cable, I can connect to the internet fine, so the modem and cable don't seem to be the problem. I've tried running throgh the AirPort Express SetUp Assistant and restarted AirPort and rebooted everything many times. In Network Preferences, it says it's happily connected, has IP address etc, but I still can't connect wirelessly to the Internet?
Any help greatly appreciated!
thanks
Nat

OK, here it is again
First you plug the Ethernet cable from your Internet modem into the AE. Then plug it in. The light will go amber. Run the Airport Setup Assistant. Create a new wireless network. Call it what you want. Enter the information about your modem, in the fields just like you do for your Ethernet connection on your PC or Mac. This means DHCP or static IP and subnet..... most if you use DHCP will be filled in for you. Now that you have saved the info and the AE has restarted, look for the network that you named in the available networks. If you have set it up to dish out IP addresses, it will give you one. If you have started out with WEP or WPA the connection process is much more difficult at first.
I leave it wide open until I can connect to it and then I create MAC access lists. I'll leave all the security stuff to you after you get it working basically.
Run Airport Admin Utility. It will scan the area for AEs and AEBSs and you can select yours from the list. Click on configure. Here is where you set all the details up on how you want it to work. Here you can configure the details, place your securities etc. Notice that you are accessing it wireless and then you can go through the various Tabs to configure how you want it to operate.
There is an Internet tab. This will show you how it is configured. It should look the same as your NIC parameters did when you hooked straight to the modem. There are also many more tabs that allow you to configure each area, like do you want it to be the gateway of your network, dish out IP addresses etc. My advice is to let it do that if more than one machine will connect and you don't require defined addresses to get to say a server.
The two important areas are the Internet and the LAN area. These tell it how to interact with your modem, and the machines trying to connect to it. If the AE doesn't see the modem or can't interact with it, one of the parameters is wrong. Same goes for the LAN side of things.

Firefox will no long connect me to the internet.

Firefox will no longer connect me to the internet. I can connect to the internet using Internet Explorer, but not Firefox. Prior to this problem my McAffee security was giving a message that a Firefox program was trying to run but McAfee didn't recognize it. I chose to block it from running since I didn't know what it was. I have uninstalled Firefox and tried to reinstall Firefox from the download link at Mozilla.org. This did not fix the problem.

Unblock Firefox in the McAfee Firewall. You can find instructions for that from this page. <br />
