Front row says im not on the internet
When using my Mac pros airport extreme to get on the internet, front row says im not on the internet when trying to stream movie trailers.
But when connected via ethernet, it works fine.
My mac pro is in an area where ethernet is not a viable solution..
This a common bug? I tried googling it but came back with nothing.
Hi
I was having the same problem, but found this today:

Hope it helps.

Front Row says no connection to the internet
Here's something strange: I wanted to look some trailers in Front Row this afternoon. But upon trying the app informed me that there's no connection to the internet despite the fact that I have a very good connection to the net. What can I do to resolve this issue.
After suffering from this problem and searching for solutions, I eventually fixed it myself.
The problem is frontrow wanting to communicate through en0, which after a few configuration changes en0 gets zapped. You are then left with an interface instance number which is my case was en15.
To get this back to en0
You need to open terminal
Become root or perform sudo commmands
cd /Library/Perferences/SystemConfiguration
Check you are in the right place by typing
pwd
The files that set the instance numbers can be renamed.
mv preferences.plist preferences.orig
mv NetworkInterfaces.plist NetworkInterfaces.plist.orig
mv com.apple.network.identification.plist com.apple.network.identification.plist.orig (this should be typed on one line)
If you are not fussy about keeping them you can just delete them. These files are recreated at boot up time.
reboot.
Configure your enternet connection or wireless connection.
Frontrow now connects to the internet.
If for some reason it fails, you can always copy your old files back if you just renamed them.
Enjoy your movie trailers etc. -
Front Row says im not connected to the internet, But I am!
I go on Front row to watch some movie trailers and it says im not connected to the internet, but im posting this.
I have repaired permissions and reinstalled it and leopard.
What can I do?It looks indeed like there is a bug in the Leopard version of Front Row. I have the exact same problem, after having just installed Leopard in a new clean install. The trailer browsing feature worked just fine with Tiger, in this very same Intel mini, but now with Leopard and with the exact same network settings, it keeps nagging about a missing internet connection. I am using a pppoe / DSL line, and needless to say, my internet connection is working just fine.
But now, thanks to the hint above, I was able to get the movie trailers to work now. The trick, or should I say the workaround was to stop using the automatic setting configured by Leopard during installation, and setting up a new location, with the very same details. You don't have to delete anything, just add a new location and name it to your liking, then add your connection details, and you're all set.
So in short, apparently one should use a manually set location rather than the automatic mode. An annoying little bug really, but fortunately easy to fix.
Hopefully the boffins @Apple are reading these forums, and this little bug is to be fixed in 10.5.2 as well. That is, along with the Mail SMTP bug, which was also annoying but easy to fix, eventually. -
Front Row movie trailers -- not connected to internet message?
I'm new to Front Row, even though it's been on my laptop for a while! Anyway, when I click on Movie Trailers, I get a message saying I'm not connected to the internet, even though I am (via Airport). I looked at Network Diagnostics as both the message and Apple Support site suggested, and everything is reported as fine (as I knew it would be; I can get to the internet with no problem). The only other thing I found in Support was for machines with more than 1 Ethernet port, which I don't have.
Is there something special I need to do to get Front Row to see I'm connected to the internet? Thanks for any suggestions!I believe you've encountered a bug with Front Row. If you can, try plugging in an Ethernet cable even if it's not actually connected to the Internet itself. Sometimes Front Row looks only for an Internet connection through the Ethernet port even if the port, itself, is not connected to the the Internet. I think the trailers will play through the AirPort connection anyway...

Front Row theatrical trailers not connected to internet?
This was working fine out of the box. It seems that after a couple system/soft updates ie. quicktime, iTunes, etc. it will no longer allow movie trailers... 'not connected to the internet'.
My network connections have not changed. I use a cable connect. Airport is turned off; as is Bluetooth.
In other words, my internet connection has not changed and is functioning properly, otherwise I wouldn't be typing this question.
I cannot seem to locate Front Row prefs. Quicktime prefs: Streaming speed on Auto., Instant on.
Not terribly important, but annoying.If you use the Accounts System Preferences to create a new user, log out and log in as the new user, can they access the trailers? If not, then you have some kind of system-wide problem. If they can, then your user has some kind of preference/setting issue.

I am trying to connect my Ipad 2 to my Mac Air over bluetooth.
I can connect them to each other, and both machines say they are connected over bluetooth.
However I can not access the internet on the Ipad...says it is not connected to the internet.
Does anyone know if you can fix this?
THank youYes I tried this manyfold. But did not work. Reading on, I took Tesserac's advice. Shut down router and computer.
Start router after 15 minutes and wait another 10 minutes before starting the computer.
Et voila.... everything is back in working order,

Safari isn't working properly, says it cannot find the Internet plug-in
After I installed Mozilla Firefox, Safari is not working properly. It says:
Safari cannot find the Internet plug-in
The page “Now Casting - The Best in Guides & Labels” has content of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.
I tried to install the flasf player and a web page appears saying that it is installed but obviously isn't.
Please tell me what is wrong so I can use my Safari.
Thank you.Hi ivoniko,

TS3972 My Apple TV connects to the wifi but not to the internet.
My Apple TV connects to the wifi but not to the internet. Currently using a D-Link Router and Shaw Cable in BC Canada.
Apple says "Connections through proxy servers are not supported". Would that be Shaw? How can I update the ATV
software without connecting to a TV and the internet? Can I connect it to my MacBook Pro? ATV worked very well in Arizona
using CenturyLink as an ISP provider and their modem/router. ATV software is 5.0.What happens when you try to connect? I would contact your ISP

every time i click on itunes store or library or anything i choose to click on it says item not avilable the item you requested is currently not avilable in the u.s store but i did not request anything but to open itunesstore or check my library out im so frustrated
Similar experience here but finally succeeded! Here's the summary
Decided to (finally) update MacBook from SL 10.6.8 to Lion (it can't run ML or Mavericks) so this week purchased from UK Apple store. Received redemption code from Apple via email after couple of days and successfully redeemed this in Apps Store.
Under Purchases in Apps Store clicked on "download" and nothing happened! Clicking on the app name "OS X Lion" gave the message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the UK Store". Contacted support but got no useful help there.....
Following day went back to Apps Store and tried again clicking Download - still nothing (apparently - see below) so started thinking upgrade unlikely and £14 wasted.
A little later noticed new icon in Dock and investigating it said downloading Lion - checked Activity Monitor and indeed my internet connection was being hammered. At a little over 4Gb got an error message saying download could not complete (needless to say not happy) and download icon disappeared!!
So with nothing to lose reclicked Download in Apps Store and again no obvious activity and this time no new download icon in Dock - decided to check Activity Monitor again (just in case) and again high level of download activity! Maybe, just maybe, I thought and after about 90 minutes the Lion install screen appeared!
Have now backed up the Installer and successfully installed 10.7.4
I can't offer any explanation why it finally worked - Apps Store still shows "Download" not "Installed" as I would expect and the item is "..still not available.."! -
So our school lets us use Macbook Airs for the school year, and it has facetime on it. I know facetime isn't blocked because like everyone else is using it. So I decide to give it a try. I click the icon, it says enter your apple ID. I dont have one, so I click to make one, and do so. I then enter my apple ID and click next. The screen reads "People will call you using your email address. What email address would you like to use?" I enter my email address in the box below the message, and then go to my email and click the link, and sign in, thus verifying the email. I go back to the facetime window, and click next. At the top it says Verified, but when I click next it doesn't go on to the next step, it simply blacks out the next button so that I can not click it, and after a few minutes a message comes up that says "Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again."
So that is the issue, please help!!!!!
*Note-I repeat that I know it is not blocked by the school because everyone else uses it just fine.*Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.
