Connecting to the internet

Hi, first of all sorry by my English (I'm from Argentina and my language is Spanish). I have an internet connection via DSL service. My old eMac works fine (in fact i'm writing this post using the eMac) but i can't obtain a connection with my iMac (late 2006 model). I've completed the information in the network panel identically to the eMac, but it doesn't work. The light for the ethernet port is green (a assume it works).
Is it possible any hardware problem?
thanks!

¡Bienvenido amigo!
Can you explain you Local Area Network (LAN) setup to me? Is it just a modem and the Mac? Do you also use a router? Are both Macs connecting with the same connection?

What do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet

what do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet. i have contacted apple support and they said to change from wep to wpa2 but when i change it to wpa2 and type in password and connect on my laptop it says the saved setting on this computer for the network do not match the require ments of the network

My 2nd gen works fine with WPA2 and AES encryption.
You may need to go back and start over. Reset the router back to factory defaults, log on as the admin, set up security, DHCP, and make sure the IP address pool has enough IP addresses to lease to ALL of the computers/devices that will connect to that the router.

The wi-fi on my ipod touch is connected but the internett is not working! Help

Soo annoying, it's connected but the internett is not working. I don't know what to type in or what to do, so I need help.

Are you 100% positive you are connected? Head to Settings - Wi-Fi and tap the > next to the network you are connected to? What is listed for an IP address? If it's in the 169.x.x.x range, it means your iPod did not properly receive a valid IP address via DHCP from your modem/router. So the 169.x.x.x address is a self-assigned one.
This can usually be resolved by a reboot of your router. You can do this by unplugging it for about 30 seconds. After it powers back up, try reconnecting it. It wouldn't hurt to try a reset of your iPod as well. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

If the wifi on my iPod Touch is on nothing else on the router will connect to the internet

Ever since I updated my iPod Touch 4th Gen to iOS 6, If the wifi on my iPod Touch is on nothing else on the router will connect to the internet..
It's the weirdest thing.
My Wired and WiFi computers are experiencing DNS errors, unresolved URLs and in general having difficulty connecting to the internet...
That is.... UNTIL I SHUT OFF THE WIFI ON MYiPOD 4th Gen TOUCH!!!
Then everything works fine.
I've reset my router, several times.
I've reset my Cable Moden, several times.
The problem persists until I disable the WiFi on my iPod

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

WRT 120N- Cannot connect to the internet with more than one PC at a time.

Before I went on a three month vacation,I could connect 3 or 4 PC's either wireless or wired to my router with no problems at all.I have a desk top and a laptop computer which I use at home.After I returned,I found that I could connect to the internet with only one PC at a time.
If I was say,connected via my laptop,my desk top would continuously keep getting disconnected and vice versa.I have been reading the suggestions from experts here and have done a few checks based on them.I also cannot get to my router page which is 192.168.1.1 I keep getting a message that says "Problem Loading Page" and this happens with both,Firefox and Internet Explorer.I am running Windows 7 - 32 bit on my desk top and Vista Home Premium on my laptop.
I have opened the "Command Prompt" dialogue and pinged 192.168.1.1 and thereafter I typed in "ipconfig".These are the results:

I presume that this model is a modem **bleep** router as I do not have a separate modem with my system.I have a DSL connection and the firmware version of my router is ver.1.0.If I recall,I did upgrade to the next firmware upgrade a few months after I purchased the router but I am not sure.
I use both my PC's to run a small business venture and I am worried that resetting the router may cause some other problems and will stop me from using the internet.
The Command Prompt information above was taken from my laptop.
Any help will be really appreciated.
Gerard.
Solved!

I do not know if the above result is what it is supposed to be but I still cannot access my router's home page.How do I verify if there is a proxy server and if there is one,how do I disable it in my browsers?This problem occured suddenly as a few months earlier all was well.It's getting rather frustrating.
I suggest resetting the router. Make sure firmware is updated. You can download it here - http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/routers/WRT120N. After firmware upgrade, reset and reconfigure. Just access the link below to guide you setting up the router.

My iPod Touch will no longer stay connected to the internet

Right before updating to iOS 6, I was using FaceTime and other various apps that require an internet connection, and they all worked just fine.
After updating to iOS 6, I noticed that things took a much longer time to load, such as Facebook. I then noticed that FaceTime was now extremely laggy, and often disconnected within 30 seconds (note that both sides are using wi-fi, not data plan). Now my iPod won't even stay connected to the internet, it keeps automatically disconnecting itself when I try to use FaceTime and tells me to "Log in" whenever I try to re-connect, only to send me to an apple site that says my search could not be found?

Though I'm not sure what that does, it was off o.O I turned it to auto, I am now able to use FaceTime but my App Store won't load any Categories, let's just hope Apple get's this sortded out soon.
EDIT: For some reason I keep typing "not" instead of "now" T.T

10.6.8 some devices can no longer connect to the Internet

I have a home network with two MacBook Pros (let's call them MBP1 and MBP2), two iPod Touch, and an Airport Extreme connected to a cable modem. All networking and Internet access have been working flawlessly.
Then we updated both MBPs to 10.6.8. Now, out of the four devices, only MBP1 can still connect to the Internet. MBP2 and the two iPods can see the wireless network, but can't connect to the Internet.
We tried a variety of things suggested in other message threads on MBP2: install the 10.6.8 combo update, fix permissions, trash preference files, to no avail. We reset the Airport to factory settings and set it up again. We ran Disk Warrior on MBP2. We have exhausted everything in our bag of tricks.
Anyone else experience something like this?
Is 10.6.8 a red herring, and is this due to something else?
Help!

Linc... I followed your advice and started looking elsewhere for the problem. I remembered one thing that was different on my laptop: some time ago, I switched my DNS settings to use Open DNS.
So I checked the DNS settings in the other laptop and the iPods, switched the DNS setting to Open DNS, and everything works like a charm.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Can I use apple TV on home network with time capsule or Airport Xtreme without being connected to the internet?

I'm wondering if I can use Apple TV to play movies and slide shows on my TV, play music over my sound system and print from my devices (Iphone 4S, iPad and MacBook pro 2011) by using an Airport Xtreme or Time Capsule (to back up the devices) if those devices are not connected to the internet. Can anyone advise pls? Reason for this is that I work on a moving ship and don't have an internet connection to speak of for much of the time (and if I do it's a wireless system that I need to pay by the minute and that is too slow to support the Apple TV), but would all the same like to create a wireless environment where my devices can interact with each other. I seem to get conficting info and a rep at the apple store in Honolulu told me that you cannot use Airport Xtreme or Time Capsule without an internet connection (it was busy, he may have misunderstood my question).
Looking forward to your input.

Don't try to home share it.. as that is dependent on using Apple ID.
Just airplay to the ATV.. iTunes: Using AirPlay
The movie should play exactly as your doing music.. but get rid of the whole home share if that is causing issues.. there is no mention of needing home share in the above..
If you still have issues you might need to do it other ways.. like export the movie from itunes.. and play it using vlc which should allow you to stream it to the apple TV using airplay.
That is a bit tricky and I have not used that setup but it should work.
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/23412/can-i-stream-any-video-played-wit h-vlc-player-to-apple-tv
If you have a hunt around you should find it fairly easy to do.. but straight airplay should work.. there is a very recent update to ATV which might help it with airplay.

Try
Reboot the computer, see if that fixes it.
Then try:
Backup your files off the computer (not TimeMachine) and disconnect
Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk and simply reinstalling OS X
Log in and update to 10.6.8
c boot off the 10.6 disk again and use Disk Utility >Repair Disk
reboot and all should be fine, except some third party programs that install kext files, those will have to be reinstalled from fresh sources.

I need to upgrade my 10.5.1 os on my G4/1.25 (I'm having some audio-midi setup problems), but it's a machine that is not connected to the internet. Do I have any options? Thanks!

Friends,
I'm having some audio-midi setup problems on my G4/1.25/10.5.1 machine. I'm thinking that a routine OS upgrade might help. However, this machine is not connected to the internet. Are there any alternate methods for upgrading system software? Thanks in advance!

OK, what you should do is download the updates on another machine and burn them to a disc. Start at this link http://support.apple.com/downloads/#leopard for downloads and find, among other things, the 10.5.8 combo updater that works on PPC machines, plus security, QuickTime and other updates. Going from 10.5.1 to 10.5.8, there will probably be a bunch of things that you should install. Being off the internet with the machine, you can't have Software Update sort it out, so something might get missed, unfortunately.
My suggestion is this: if it looks like you might need a download, get it onto that disc.

Issue in connecting to the internet wireless with my Linksys

OK. Here's the deal. I am entirely frustrated and also over my head trying to solve this on my own as I have no idea what I'm doing.
I have a Mac Powerbook, OS X (3.9). I have always connected to the internet wirelessly through my Linksys router (Wireless B Access Point, Model Wap 11).
I have recently moved and now use Comcast for my internet. When they installed my internet, I had not yet unpacked my wireless router, so I was set up to be connected via the actual cable plugged in. Now that the router is all set up, I cannot for the life of me get my wireless to work. Currently, I can use the internet wirelessly in other homes/school no problem. In those cases, I don't do anything, I just turn on my computer and it connects automatically. But for some reason in my apartment I cannot make it work.
I *think* the problem lies somewhere in the IP address area? If I look at my Airport settings and go to the TCP/IP tab, there is no information contained on the screen. Meaning, in the area where it says IP Address, Subnet Mask and Router, there is NO data listed, just gray empty space. The same goes for the DNS Servers and Search Domains areas, but at least in that case there is a white box to input text.
I can choose the "Configure IPv4 Using DHCP Manually" and that will let me input numbers, but I have no idea if I should even be playing around with this.
Also, perplexing me even more, is the fact that I can choose my Linksys internet connection through the Airport screen, and when I have selected it, I show full bars. But I can't actually connect.
Silly me, I attempted to call Comcast for help with the issue, but they say that as long as I can connect to the internet in any way (plugged in) then they do not care that I can't connect wirelessly.
I miss checking my email in bed...someone please help!!!
Thanks a million in advance for any and all help.

Are u talking about routers username , password? Well there is one routers username ,password (default is "admin") and the other is your cable ISP username , password (on the routers webpage). I am talking about the latter. If nothing works, try resetting your router ... You will have to configure it again (doesnt take much time if you know it).

My mac connects to the Internet fine, but Sarfari, chrome, and Firefox will not work. Nor will programs that connect to the internet

This problem has been going on for a few days. my computer connects to the internet fine and runs fine, but none of my Internet browsers will work. I have deleted all my history, cache, cookies etc. For all browsers. I have also made sure that i have no proxies on and that no firewall is blocking my Internet. I have ran virus scans to look for malware and nothing comes up... I'm very confused.
For chrome I get errors like "err_socket_not_connected", "err_connection_closed", and "err_empty_response"
for safari it just says "safari can't open the page because safari can't establish a secure connection to the server"
please help me if you know anything! Thank you in advanced

Hi, mattkaroni.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are unable to use internet on any program that connects to the internet. This sounds like the issue would be with your internet connection. Try going through the troubleshooting steps in the article below.

If your not hearing dial tone you might have your phone plugged into the wrong port. Most modems have 2 outlets, one is labeled line ( that is the one you should have plugged into the jack (RJ11C). If that's correct, query the modem and see if it tests OK, you may have a defective modem.

TS1398 How do I connect to the internet with my iphone when away from home

I have an iphone 3GS which was fine , was able to connect to the internet away from home when at uni, at appointments. Since software update to IOS 6.0, can now only connect to internet wirelessly when at home-as soon as leave the house it disconnects. Is this just because of the software update? Have tried adjusting settings but got nowhere. Thank you

When your wifi is off. Do you see your carrier name at the top left with either 3G/4G. If not you can try a reset, hold down the home/power button until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
or settings - cellular - cellular data - ON
if those two suggestion doesn't help then you will need to contact your phone carrier to resolve the issue.

How do I connect to the internet with the "Manual" PPPoE option?

Hi,
I have a Time Capsule and a PC with Windows XP SP3, Airport utility 5.3.2
I connect to the ISP using a secureID - a password that changes every minute.
This means that if I use the "Always On" option, then once the connection breaks the time capsule will retry with an invalid password and lock me out.
I therefore tried the "Manual" option, but there is no "CONNECT" button associated with it. When I choose "Always On", the time capsule connects to the internet. When I choose "Manual" the time capsule has a happy green light, but I don't have internet.
Did somebody forget to put a "connect" button somewhere, or is it just hiding?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Omri
