Ethernet connected, IP Address, yet not loading Internet

G4  dual 1.25 has been acting funny for a a few weeks.
Symptoms:
1) Even though network prefs show ethernet connnected, and a 192... address nothing will loaded in Safari. Other macs load fine so network is good...
2) No computer can access this unit through network and vice versa
3) Home sharing setup cannot access iTunes to login
4) On shutdown I quit iTunes then hit shut down. Shutdown hangs and says iTunes refused to quit
Permissions repair run numerous times but no effect
Besides running console to find problem, what is the best repair method-
archive & install or ?
Thanks in advance

Reinstalling is way down the list of things to do - probably the last option as far as I'm concerned. There's also no guarantee it'll fix the problem if the problem is preference-related and you copy back the (broken) preferences.
You need to do a little more troubleshooting before you call it quits.
Start off with /Applications/Utilities/Network Utility
Can you ping your router address (as set in System Preferences -> Network -> (interface) -> Advanced -> TCP/IP)
If not, is this the same router address used by other systems on the LAN or is it different?
In addition, can you ping other devices on the LAN? Ping is a basic network test that should always be near the top of your troubleshooting.
After that, I'd check the various logs on the system - many problems will announce themselves there, and if you're not reading the logs you're wasting a lot of time trying to work out what's wrong.

  • Can connect to airport but not load internet page

    I can connect my PS3 and window based laptop to my airport network, as both show successful connection, but I can not load internet page on either the PS3 or the laptop. My airport network is not protected. My airport base station is about 7 years old.

    Well the symptoms now point to a number of issues that need to be eliminated and they are you need to check that you are logged onto the ISP. For always ON systems this is usually a function of the Router in which case you need to log onto the Router and check the appropriate settings for this function also release the lease on the IP address and reboot the Router. The other issue is that the Router may not have access to the ISP which may cabling problem [disconnected or accidently damaged cable] within your environment of a service problem within the ISP domain. Check with a neighbour who is subscribed to the same Exchange as you are to see if they have problems otherwise call your Service Provider they may have to perform a reset on their end of your connectivity. Good luck

  • Iphone 3G would take connection from modem yet NOT get internet?

    I find this VERY odd. I've used a iphone with a linksys wireless modem. Now it's funny because I came to the apple store to get my iphone 3G's battery replaced but of course, I just got a brand new iphone instead .
    Of course, I did try the wifi since my service was off from AT&T at the moment at my friend's house which worked perfectly fine.
    However, as I just came home right now, I connected to my home's wireless internet that DOES work with my labtop. But for some reason, my iphone says it doesn't get internet for anything just saying "Safari Cannot open the page because it's not connected to the internet" for example when I use Safari.
    Now I reseted everything over and over again and nothing works. And I noticed that it only has the IP Address and Subnet mask in the settings of the network....can anyone help?

    Wow I am feeling stupid by how simple that was. I should've done that as well since it worked.
    Thank you very much my fellow new yorker! (Although I lived in miami most of my life)

  • On my MacBook Pro when I am connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable, Facebook pictures do not load. They show up as white boxes with blue question marks.

    On my new MacBook Pro when I am connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable, Facebook pictures do not load. They show up as white boxes with blue question marks. This also happens on a website editor. But, when I am connected to the internet via Wifi, everything load properly. This is my work computer, so I have to be able to connect through the Ethernet cable to access everything. Please help me!

    I mostly use Safari. But I also tried it on Firefox, Mozilla, and Camino. Mac OS X. It's my work computer, so I've only tried it at the office. I have to be connected through the Ethernet cable to access my files and email on the server.

    Hi
    I am experiencing wireless connection problem on 4s after ios 8.1 upgrade. The wireless icon appears showing that it's connected but webpages do not load. I have checked my internet connection with other devices and seems to be alright. what to do?
    I have tried reseting the network settings and forgetting my wireless connection and re-connecting to it. I even backed up my phone on itunes and restored it, factory reseted it. Nothing seems to work.
    Also after my upgrade to ios 8.1 my personal hotspot option under cellular data has disappeared.
    Would you please help me out? I would really appreciate it.

    Hi..
    Restart your router then restart the iPhone to test.

  • I can make a WiFi connection but pages will not load. WiFi works for a laptop using windows

    I can make a WiFi connection but pages will not load.  WiFi works ok on a laptop using Windows.  I have reset the WiFi settings but this makes no difference.

    Thanks, Linc, but  that almost helped:
    Because the retina 15 only has a wifi connection (no ethernet), that's the connection I'm stuck with for the notebook. But on the 27iMac, I did have both ethernet and wifi enabled. When I turned the wifi off on the 27, therer was a brief moment when both computers were showing their counterparts when I tried to make a network connection. BUT, after a few seconds of 'searching', the computer I was trying to connect to disappeared from the Network list.
    So I tried the opposite; the retina can only connect thru wifi, so that's a given. I swithched my ethernet off and then enabed the wifi on the 27 and ....same thing: When I try a network connection, there are a few seconds of 'searching', then the ony option I'm left with is share screen, which doesn't work either.
    I've read the 'dropped' network is a problem with the retina, but the odd thing is that I never lose my internet connection—that continues to work fine, as does Air Drop—but I can't seem to connect, network-wise.
    Any ideas about the dropped network?

  • I can connect to WiFi but not the internet

    I am trying to connect a new IPad 2.  I have a Belkin router that is B+G+N.  I use WPA2 encryption and MAC filtering.  The IPAD's MAC address was entered into the router and when I provide the encryption key as the password I am able to connect to WiFi but not anything Internet related except for email.  When I type any URL in Safari it takes me to my router's management page.  In fact I can log into my router and manage it from my IPad but I can't connect to anything else.  I have 8 other computers/devices that connect to the router fine including two Apple Ipod touch's.  This has me baffled.

  • My computer will connect to wifi but not the Internet

    My computer will connect to wifi but not the Internet. It's not a problem with my router because I've tried other devices on the same router and they work. I have also tried my computer on other routers and there is still no Internet connection. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hello Bmowat,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you are able to successfully connect to your Wifi network, but cannot get internet access.
    I found this article for you named Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628?viewlocale=en_US
    This section in particular since you have Mountain Lion installed:
    OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.4 or later
    Use the Wireless Diagnostics application included with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.4 and later to identify and resolve Wi-Fi issues. For further information, please see About Wireless Diagnostics.
    It is a built in troubleshooting tool to help diagnose and repair network issues and should help you resolve this issue.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • HT4489 address book not loading to icloud?  it works fine in .mac  but not .me com?

    address book not loading in icloud. loads fine in .mac account but .me will not load?

    [email protected] and [email protected] are the same accounts.
    Are you saying that you are trying to sync your contacts to iCloud?  Are the two accounts you  mention ".mac" and ".me" actually different in that they are [email protected]  vs.  [email protected]?  If so, your device can only use one account at once - and you should stick to only one account.

  • Keep getting a pop up at the top of many websites I visit 'firefox security error content at *web address* may not load" I am using the most recent firefox and windows 7.

    Keep getting a pop up at the top of many websites I visit 'firefox security error content at *web address* may not load" I am using the most recent firefox and windows 7. This is happening at many sites, such as hotmail, google reader, and many others.

    Sorry, I don't think that is a message from inside Firefox, the wording doesn't sound correct - at least the beginning of that message. My "gut" thinks that is a MSN Live message to explain and compensate for their lack of security with a re-direct from a secure domain to an un-secure domain. ''(the end of that message)''
    {Ctrl + Shft + J} will open the Firefox Error Console - I'm curious what Firefox has to say about that situation. If you find the error message for that domain, you can right-click the message to '''copy''' it and then paste that error message here.
    Maybe '''TonyE''' or '''cor-el''' will be more familiar with the situation at Live and maybe at Google Reader, I don't use either of those services and have never seen a message like that myself.

  • Yosemite - could not load internet accounts preference pane - same for icloud - mail not running

    After Up-Grade to Yosemite 10.10:
    Mail not working
    Preferences Error Could not load Internet Accounts preference pane
    Preferences Error Could not load iCloud Accounts preference pane
    Had several issues when upgrading from Mountain Lion to Yosemite 10.10. Finally it seemed to work. When starting Mail, I tried to restore data from Time Machine (did a back-up under Mountain Lion immediately before up-grading to Yosemite). This ran for over 2 h when I suddenly noticed that "Mail quit unexpectedly. Since then I cannot work with Mail at all.
    I read on the forum that many people have issues with Mail in Yossemite but apparently it's different from what I am experiencing, and it seems that none of the proposed solutions work for me.
    I can start Mail, but I will only see the bar on top of the screen. Mail "Preferences" remains grey (= cannot click).
    When choosing Mail "Accounts", System Preferences opens and then I get the "Preferences Error Could not load Internet Accounts preference pane."
    I noticed then that I get a similar error when clicking "iCloud" in System Preferences: "Preferences Error Could not load iCloud Accounts preference pane."
    I can open "Internet Accounts" and "iCloud" in System Preferences when I log in as a guest without any errors, but as soon as I log in with my user name, I get the same errors.
    As suggested elsewhere in this forum, I removed the com.apple.mail-shared.plist in library and tried the same with com.apple.internetaccounts.plist.
    I've spent hours on this and find this increasingly frustrating. I would try another new installation of Yosemite, if only I could be confident it would work this time...
    Any advice how to solve this will be appreciated!

    Hey Sage,
    Glad you got it fixed!
    I had exactly the same problems, but found this solution on another thread courtesy of Paul Pharoah which saved the trouble of another clean install and seems to have fixed everything  . It appears the problem lies somewhere in the mail account settings.
    "I 've had the same problem today and tried lots of the suggested solutions around, all without success until....
    1.  I moved all the files in ~/Library/Mail/V2 to the desktop
    2. Deleted the folder
    3. Deleted my two email accounts (Gmail and exchange server) using System Preferences>Internet Accounts
    4. Re-started Mail.  It now re-started as if for the first time and asked me to re-input my mail accounts which I did.
    5. Mail up and running again."
    from thread: Re: Yosemite mail crash
    Cheers!

  • Could not load Internet Accounts preference, iCloud pane and Mail application

    Hello
    I have 3 problem.
    Could not load Internet Accounts preference pane.
    Could not load iCloud preference pane.
    I also can't open the Mail application.
    I already tried to log in as guest user, I can open everything in guest user. So guest user have no problem.
    I also tried to log in in safe mode, nothing was working. So I guess I have problem with the admin user.
    I also reinstall the operating system and nothing change.
    Please any help?
    Thank you.
    Hind.

    Do a backup.
    Quit the application.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

  • Could not load iCloud preference pane and could not load internet accounts preference pane

    after a recent not so succesful time machine restore, and after turning internal hard drive and ssd on my macbook pro late 2008 into a fusion drive, I get these error messages in the system preference : could not load iCloud preference pane and could not load internet accounts preference pane. I noted that Mail, Calendar, notes etc all sync to my various device, but on my mac, I can't access the accounts feature. Can anyone help me resolve this issue ? I searched all over the net with no success...
    cheers !

    iMac (Processor 3.2GHz, 8GB 1600MHz DDR3, 3TB HD) Running Mavericks (10.9.4), I have the exact same problem. Local Apple Store unable to help. Turned to my AppleCare Program. They say their techs have never come across this issue this was what was done:
    Have downloaded & new copy of OS X  = same issue.
    Deleted OS X Reinstalled OS X on blank drive - restored all my data from backup = now have no MS Office, no Adobe Photoshop Elements, no iWeb, no Parallels, no VMWare, no iPhoto in fact, nothing of "my" machine. (but problem is still there)
    Advised to do an "Internet Restore" from good Backup (over 24 hours to complete); when complete, machine restarts = a circle with a cross diagonally through it and the spinning wheel. (It goes no further no matter how many times you reboot)
    Now on my own, booted using "Command + R" to start in Recovery mode. Changed all permissions in Disk Utility. Rebooted. = my machine is back - all data intact and all programs there & working BUT problem persists.
    I have now turned to Communities. Followed everything people said worked for them but in my case, after a reboot, I still cannot load iCloud OR Internet Accounts Preferences panes!!
    If I add a calendar item on my iMac it will not sync with either my iPad or iPhone. If I add a calendar item on either my iPhone or my iPad that item will sync with the other device but will not sync to my iMac. The same is true for Contacts as well. Extremely annoying to have to type it in all the time. This is Apple for heavens sake and therefore it should work!!

  • Ethernet is connected but I can not get internet

    I just moved into a new apartment and my internet connect is through an Ethernet cord. I can not reboot or restart the connection becuase it is through my entire building. When I plug the Ethernet into my MacBook Pro is says it is connected however when I open Safari or Chrome it has no connection. My IP address starts with 169 and my Mask is 255. I have restarted the computer many times and have gone through the "Assist Me.." or "Diagnostics" within Networks however each one requires that I reboot the router. Seeing that I dont even know where the router is, I can not do this action. Can someone please help with this? I have also reset PRAM and looked at other threads that say delete "com.apple.afl", however in my preferences there is no "com.apple.afl". The ethernet is currently working on an HP desktop and I have made sure the broadban connection has been set to "share with other devices". I feel Im running out of options. PLEASE HELP!

    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network ▹ Advanced ▹ TCP/IP
    From the menu labeled Configure IPv4, select
    Using DHCP
    Click Apply. See whether the IP address changes.
