Dial-up connection routine gets stuck.
When I try to connect to a dial-up server and get a busy signal, the modem disconnects, but the connection routine does not stop. It gets stuck, and the word "disconnecting" just keeps rolling in my menu bar. The only way to reset the modem is to shut the computer down by holding the power button. The normal restart or shut-down methods do not work. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
Hi Erik,
This happened to me when using the Apple USB External modem. I'd been advised that sometimes the SystemConfiguration folder's items get corrupted and that this is known to fix the problem.
To fix it, as I'd been advised, I renamed the /Macintosh Hard Disk/Preferences/SystemConfiguration folder to SystemConfiguration.old and then reboot the machine.
Since the SystemConfiguration folder will appear missing to OS X, OS X will recreate that folder. Many system settings will be restored to default... you'll have to set a few things up again, but I haven't had the "Disconnecting..." problem, since. I'd been advised that I could always rename the SystemConfiguration.old older to it's original name if things were to go wrong.
Hope this helps... let me know
Regards,
Motosuwa

I have a 3000 J series desktop. My pc froze and on reboot Windows XP comes up fine but the security routine gets stuck on "Please Wait-checking status of embedded security chip"
How do I get this fixed. I have tried rebooting several times with the same result. I ran hard drive diagnostics and all tests passed.
Thanks!Update based on some additional troubleshooting:
I've now been able to recreate this three times by following this sequence (I've started to restart more frequently to pinpoint where things go wrong)
Reformat Mac partition (leaving Boot Camp alone)
Install OSX 10.6.3 using the install disc that came with my computer
Run software update until all updates applied (requiring a few restarts)
Install Lion
Restore applications and my local user directory using Migration Assistant and my Time Machine backup
So far so good.
6. Restore "other settings" (I believe it's called that) in Migration Assistant.
This is when the issue first appears. Not sure what setting would cause this issue, but whatever it is, it effectively makes my Mac HD unreadable. -
Safari seems to get "stuck" especially while trying to download in itunes
I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but my Safari connection keeps getting "stuck," especially while trying to download podcasts and TV episodes from itunes. It's like everything stops for a few seconds, then resumes (though I've yet to finish downloading the TV episodes from itunes because doing so seems to exacerbate the problem). It's not an issue only with my computer, because it's happening on my ibook G4 and on the Macbook. I thought at first it was trouble with the wireless connection, and unplugging and replugging the modem in seems to work, but only temporarily. I tried using the internet earlier tonight with itunes closed, or even open with the downloads on pause, and things were fine. But when I tried to resume my downloads, I'm having the same problem. It's like everything just stops for a minute or two, and then the page I'm trying to get to will load. Has anyone else had a similar problem in the last few days? Is it an issue with Safari, itunes, or should I call the cable company? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Safari doesn't download anything from iTunes; that's handled by iTunes itself, so your issue seems to be with iTunes, not Safari. In that case, you need to start a topic in the iTunes forum for help with that.

Dialing numbers gets stuck on "connecting"
Dialing certain numbers on our Cisco phones gets stuck at "connecting". Sometimes it drops after a few seconds, and sometimes it gets stuck there until you press the end key. RTM doesn't even show that the call was placed.
We are running CUCM 9.1 (phone versions 9.3.1SR1.1). Anyone have an idea on what is going on?
Thanks in advance!We've tried waiting for 30+ seconds and it stays on "connecting". We would dial another number with the same (area code) and same first 3 digits and it would dial within a second.

I established a dial up connection by updating to automatic the remote managers and telephony in administrative tool services area on my XP system according to firefox help instructions.
At first I had a dial up connection but I unchecked an item in the
dial up connection box. I am not sure what I unchecked or toggled
off. I then lost the dial up connection. I need to get the dial connection dialog box back. What needs to be done
Thank you.I see no direct connection.. a printer and the computer setup for internet are not related.
But it sounds like the router in the wife's office is now in the wrong mode..
If you have an existing main router replace the second router for a switch .. that is the easy way.
Otherwise you need to bridge the router if it has that option.. most do not. Or use wan bypass.. where you turn off the dhcp server in the router and fix its ip to match the range of the main router.. this is the hassle of using router as a switch.
BUT I am making a huge number of assumptions.
What I need is the full network layout.. a quick picture would help.
I need main modem.. main router.. (maybe same box or different).. make model and current IP address and how dhcp is setup.
I need secondary router.. if that is what it is, IP and settings.
I want the printer type and model. How it is connected.
BTW I much prefer to see a network printer plugged into the network rather than usb.. it is only a matter of sorting the IP settings and driver pointing to the network rather than local.
Or you should think of it as a broken washing machine and call the technician.. who could fix the whole lot in an hour. -
I tried to update my Apple TV today through iTunes using a microUSB. It gave me an error, I tried again and now it is stuck in recovery mode. If I plug it into the TV, it just shows that I have to connect it to iTunes (just the picture). I unplug everything, plug the microUSB and USB, plug the power, open iTunes, it shows, asks me to restore, I click Restore. It starts extracting the file, finishes, then gets stuck in "Preparing Apple TV for restore..." for what seems forever, when it finally times out, I get an error number 2003. I have tried different USB ports, no other USB device is connecte, I have tried restarting the PC (running windows 7, up to date, iTunes up to date as well), I have tried redownloading the IPSW and even using the shift+restore and manually selecting the .IPSW file, and to be honest, I give up! If anyone can help, I'd truly appreciate it. Thanks!
PS: I also tried pressing menu+down for 6 seconds to restart, I tried pressing menu+play to restart, I tried pressing menu+down 6 secs and then menu+play 6 seconds for the so called DFU mode, nothing works, the Apple TV just restarts back to the "connect to itunes picture" along with the fast continuous white light flashing.typed in appletv error 2003 in google

Many of the internet radio stations that I usually listen to are no longer working. When I click on them, they either get stuck in connecting or just jump to the next station below. What gives?
Same thing here. Always listened to 96.9 The Eagle but not anymore. Skipped to the next station down.
This is one of many. What's going on?
Maybe Apple can tell us!!!! -
My iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.4 gets stuck on "waiting for items to copy" when syncing to my iTunes (version 11.1.4). I've tried;
quiting and restarting iTunes,
updating iTunes,
restarting my computer,
restarting my iPhone,
turning off iCloud on my iPhone,
restoring my iPhone from a previous back-up,
disabling "automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" and
just leaving it alone for three hours to see if it would finish syncing
But none of these things have worked... I'm not sure what else to try. My iPhone suffered an error about three days ago when trying to update to the new iOS update and went into recovery mode. I had to restore from an old back-up and that is when my troubles began. However, I was previously (before the crash) having an issue where whenever I connected my iphone to my computer it would delete all my playlists. I'm not sure if any of that is relevant.My iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.4 gets stuck on "waiting for items to copy" when syncing to my iTunes (version 11.1.4). I've tried;

Modem Dial Up Connection Dies When I Get a Call
Yes I still use a dialup connection to get on the Internet. We live in the country and no good prospects yet for high speed.
Anyway, I get kicked off the Internet whenever anyone calls. (Very annoying)
I believe it is from Call Waiting, am I right?
If I use *70 to turn that off before dialing out, how do I turn it back on when done?
Thanking you in advance,
Peter
Solved!
Go to Solution.*70 is for that one call only, not permanently
you must dial it before the call
so change your dialup internet access number to whatever it was before but add *70 before it
i think you may have been hitting *70 and then hanging up and then connecting ... that is not how it works.

After I installed 10.8.4, my Internet browsing slowed down to the pace of a dial-up connection -- unless it froze up completely. How do I get my system back to a normal operating mode? Can I dump 10.8.4 and go back to the one that at least worked?
Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them.
1. Have you restarted your router and broadband modem since you first noticed the problem? If the answer is no, do that now and see whether there's any change.
2. Are any other web browsers installed, and are they also slow?
3. What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
4. Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they also slow?
5. If you can test Safari on another network, is it slow there too?
6. If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference? -
How do I get rid of annoying dial-up connection boxes?
The Dial-up Connection box appears every time I use my computer. (I don't use dial-up) Is there a simple way to get rid of this. It has only been for the last month or two. (I'm using Firefox)

I have an iMac OS 10.4. I downloaded Firefox a while ago and I had no real problems with it. Then I got this message that I should update Firefox to 3.6.16. So I hit the "Download" button and I get the "Software Update" which says "Downloading the update" with a progress bar and below it , it says "Connecting to the download server". But it gets stuck there. The progress bar has gone to the end of bar. How can I get hooked up to the Update server?
That is because that Firefox 3.6.x version has been released later than the Firefox 4 version.
If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

Mountain Lion download getting stuck at 79MB w/ no internet connectivity issues
I just purchased Mountain Lion via the App Store but everytime I try to download it, the download gets stuck around 79.4MB and the download time just gets longer and longer without the download actually pausing. Pausing and resuming have the same problem, the file size just goes up to 80+MB before dropping back down to 79.4MB again. I have tried canceling, reopening the App store and re-downloading several times already without success. Please help! I went through Mountain Lion download problems in the forum but I can't find a solution. I'm downloading onto an iMac on a broadband Wifi personal home network and can surf the internet without problems and as quickly as usual. For reference, my connectivity speed at this time is usually enough to download a 300MB file in 15 mins to half an hour.

Running 10.6.8 on Intel dual core iMac, it keeps on losing internet connection. Webpages get stuck after a minute or so. If I check the internet connection via diagnostics it seems to work just fine. Others, like the iPad use the same wifi connection and never fail. What can I do?
Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.
