G3 iBook having dial-up connection issues

iBook 500MHz G3 running 10.3.9
My Dad's computer is acting very, very strange. He's got a dial-up with connection, which is admittedly slow. This affects both Safari & Firefox when he's browsing the 'net. Lately (past few months, off and on) it's been SLOW AS DRUGGED SNAILS. It will sometimes take 5 or 10 minutes to load a page, sometimes resulting in a "loaded x of y items, z errors" kind of thing in both Safari & Firefox. The computer is otherwise normal for other computing tasks. I have tried connecting from my house and also, it appeared normal (that day).
Maybe a month ago I ran disk repair/permissions and a once around on the extended hardware test and came up with nothing obvious. I'm running a loop hardware test right now and will let it loop for a good long while, maybe 5 or 6 hours. So far, no errors after nearly 15 loops.
In the meantime, I've been poking in the logs. I did some Googling, but it was mostly unhelpful (whether or not it was my query set, I don't know). But, does anyone have any idea what this is: "May 29 19:23:44 localhost kernel: 0 0 AppleUSBCDCECMData: probe - provider doesn't want us to match"? Would that be an error in the iBook's OS X software or his dial-up provider refusing to connect (as usual they are clueless on the Mac front and blame any and all problems on the Mac)?
As a last resort, and I do mean last resort, I could zero out the drive and reinstall Panther. I'd rather figure out what is wrong so if it a) pops up again I know what it is and can address it and b) don't want to do the reinstall dance if I don't have to.
Log from the other day. Similar as yesterday and others.
Any insight is appreciated.

It was doing a lot of things a lot, things I wouldn't expect it to be doing.
As it turned out, I did format and reinstall Panther for him. We tested it here and it behaved as expected (for dial-up). All was right with the world until he got back to his house.
Same as before. I told him to call the provider and tell them that a) the iBook has a fresh install and was updated to include all current software for Panther and b) he had none of this at my house. That, in fact, I surfed on it for a whole morning and didn't experience any of the issues he did.
The situation stands like this:
provider is having one of their engineers look at the issue (slow w/disconnects)
he is to call his local telephone company and ask them to conduct a line test for noise.
In the meantime, I'm scouting around for a compatible wireless card that won't cost us an arm and a leg and pushing for him to go to the cable company for access.

My MacBook Air has recently started having substantial WiFi connectivity issues. How do I fix this?

For the last couple weeks my MacBook Air has started having some mighty substantial connectivity issues.
When I wake it from sleep, or if I'm using it for an extended period (say, more than 5-10 minutes), the connection will become extremely unreliable. This primarily happens with browsers, or the Twitter application. For example, if I start a call on Skype the call will continue to function just fine, but I won't be able to connect to any websites through any browser. I've tried Safari, Chrome, and Firefox while the connectivity problems are occuring. When they do occur, a full shut down and cold boot are required to make it work again for a short while.
Does anyone know what might be causing this? I've done numerous checks for malware using Clam Xav and Sophos Anti-Virus. (I didn't suspect that this would be the issue, but it was still something that I decided to rule out.) Additionally, I've tried connecting using both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands on my wireless router. Neither seems to be more successful than the other. (Note: The 5GHz works perfectly and without interruption on my iPad and desktop PC. The 2.4GHz works perfectly with my iPhone 4S and Xbox 360. I feel that with that in mind, I can safely rule out the router as the root of the problem. Both of these examples go on for very extended periods of time. I game regularly using both my PC and Xbox 360.)

Hi Jollified,
Does your sound work when you try to use head/earphones? If so, try the following:
Plug your Headphones into your Mac.
Play a sound through them (a song for example), then stop the sound.
Make sure 'Preferences' is isn't open. If it is, Quit.
Launch System Preferences > Sounds.
While the Sounds tab is open and set to 'Headphones', pull out the Headphones from the jack.
You should see your Mac reset to 'Internal Speakers'
Also, I see you have tried resetting the PRAM, have you tried resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)? Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support
As for your MacBook not sleeping when you close the lid, there are many reasons this can occur.
First of all, check out Apples article on the issue: OS X Yosemite: If your Mac won’t go to or stay in sleep If you find these steps don't help, try a few of the following:
A common cause for the Mac not sleeping is your printer. If there are queued jobs waiting to be printed, but your printer is switched off, for some reason you Mac just wont like it and simply will not go to sleep. System Preferences > Print and Scan > Open Print Queue
Do you have an Ethernet Cable connected? People have reported in the past that removing their Ethernet allowed their Mac to sleep. This goes for other things you may have connected directly to your Mac also.
Try heading into your Mac Preferences > Sharing and deselecting 'Internet Sharing' as well as 'Printer Sharing'.
Also deselect Wake For Network Access by heading to System Preferences > Energy Saver > Power Adapter > Wake For Network Access.
Energy Saver > Schedule > Startup or Wake - Uncheck.
Alternatively, set your system preferences to Never Sleep, and put into Sleep manually: System Preferences > Energy Saver > Computer Sleep > Never.
Good luck!

Anyone else having repeated wifi connectivity issues with the OSX version 10.8.5?

I just updated the software on my iMac to OS X version 10.8.5. Now I am having repeated connectivity issues with the wifi in my house. This is the only device that is having these issues. My phone, ipad and tv are not having any problems at all.
It happened immediately following the update. I was sending emails and browsing before the update without a problem.
from apple:

I had a message like that last week - only it asked what browser I would be using - I just quit safari - purges caches etc - and at that time noticed I was getting RSS feeds through PUBSUB - tracking them down to the top sites view I never use - I deleted all of the top sites (most of which I don't go into so it must have been a preset) that included MSN and Google - I don't use google so that was pointless. (deleting a top site means you are blocking it from that page) Have not had the message since so it must have had something to do with top sites activity.
Just a note: Did see somewhere probably BBC tech - that Google was going to stop supporting older web browsers.

Ibook g4 - charger plug connectivity issue

My mother's iBook G4 is having a problem. When our dog chewed through the Apple brand charger cord, we opted to get a third party charger due to problems finding an Apple one (our computer store was out of them when we looked). Radioshack had a nice one called an iGo. It charged just as well as the Apple charger but the second problem was the same as the first. Dog chewed through the cord. Luckily we only had to buy a new cord for this iGo product (the added benefit of buying third-party). We were doing fine until suddenly the charger was not charging. Power was running through the power brick, but there was no connectivity going on. Turned out, that the plug piece was missing the small gold tip needed to connect to and charge the iBook. It had somehow become broken off. I think that the cord had been jerked out too many times.
Well we ordered a couple extra plugs (you can replace the actual plug without replacing the whole thing). When we put the new plug into the computer, I attempted to turn it on/wake it up, but it wouldn't. There's nothing wrong with either plug, but it's just not charging.
I've come to the conclusion that the gold tip broken off from the first plug is lodged inside of the computer's charging "port." It's tough to push the new plug into the hole, and it (before the tip break-off problem) was smooth going in, and slightly clicked into place.
My main question is if this is fixable. It's her computer, and, as a result of it being "out of commission," she's been using mine. Not very convenient for either of us.
I appreciate any responses.

iMac G4 17", Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I'd rather pay the $60 and not void the warranty/screw up the computer!
The problem is that it's very hard to see exactly what's inside of the input. If you can imagine with me, for a moment, the inside of the input:
On the inner circular wall of the power input (where the male tip is pushed), it appears that there are two brass pieces. They are both on opposite sides of the wall. I believe that the brass pieces are folded to form a loop against the side that hold the male piece's tip in place. The problem is that one of these brass pieces appears to be bent out of shape. I cannot tell if the tip of that plug that broke is inside of the input, but I do know that when I push a fresh plug (male end) into the input (female end), it feels as though the plug tip catches something before being able to be pushed completely in. I THINK that it may be this brass piece that is bent out of shape.
I am not at all learned in the "innards" of technology but I'm simply "putting it out there."
I think I may just take the laptop up to a professional to get it fixed, but I still would appreciate more answers to my question, as it may be of future benefit to me.
Thanks

After recent update I am having intermittent Internet connection issues

Recent update was midweek of June 17-23. Have been having constant issue with connecting to the Internet.
Anyone having same issue?
I have to stop the airport then restart airport and wait a minute then it's working fine for like 5 minutes. It is unbearable! I get an exclamation on the airport icon in the menu bar. I have to repeat steps again...over and over and over.

Wireless Connectivity Issues

Hello, I am having internet wifi connection issues with my laptop computer.In the bottom right corner of my taskbar, it says "Network Internet Access"However, I am not getting connection through any of my browsers.I am able to get wifi connection through my Nintento Wii U, but not my laptop. When I turn wifi button on keyboard off and then back on quickly, I only get connection for a single second; then no connection at all. I have tried the following:1.) Tried to connect to friend's wifi, but could not connect to the network 2.) Ran troubleshooting for wifi and it said two errors: broken access point and plug or wireless not plugged in properly 3.) Ran Wireless Network Troubleshooting for when I tried to connect to my wireless router and results are: couldn't identify the problem..(network connected internet access, but no connection to any browser) 4.) Checking the status of wireless driver and results are this device is working properly 5.) Uninstalling and reinstalling Intel Wireless driver through device manager 6.) Unchecking box that says turn this wireless driver off to save power 7.) Checked Windows Firewall to see what boxes are checked and unchecked...not sure what to look for 8.) Disabled and Inabled wireless network driver I noticed that there is a slight rattling noise coming from inside my laptop not sure what came lose or what has become broken from the inside; I never droped it, but I did hit it slightly once or twice against wall while the laptop was in laptop case strapped to my right shoulder... Is it possible that I may have a broken wireless card that is inside my laptop?I ask this because this is very much my concern.

Welcome to the forums. You're talking to other customers here.

Exchange 2010 SP3 Rollup 8v2 causes client connectivity issues

I installed SP3 Rollup 8v2 this weekend, going from 7. Since then we are having random client connectivity issues. New profiles can't be created, and some users can't access resources when booking meetings. We can do a registry fix to their machines to add
a DS Server, but this is a workaround only. I have uninstalled the Rollup 8v2 and we are still having the issue.
I thought 8v2 was supposed to fix this issue!

Hi,
According to your post, I understand that outlook client cannot connect to Exchange server to configure profile and cannot get list of resources room when upgrade to Exchange 2010 SP3 Rollup 8v2, the temporary solution is that specify the DC in registry.
If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Is there error message when configure Outlook failed?
Please run Test E-mail AutoConfiguration and Outlook connection status to double confirm the URL and FQDN of Exchange server.
As additional, please run below command to double check the state of Exchange system component:
Get-ServerComponentstate -Identity “servername”
If the state is Inactive, please run below command to active relevant component:
Set-ServerComponentState <Identity> -Component “component name” -Requester HealthAPI -State Active

N1KV - Connectivity issues

Hi all,
I am trying to bring up my first N1KV in a lab environment and I am having some weird connectivity issues. Hope someone can help !!
I've been working together with our VM team and we have the following installed and configured. We have ESX 4.1 installed on an HP DL360 G7 with 4 NIC's and the VMNic's are assigned as follow.
- vmnic0 to vSwitch0 with the following portgroups (Service Console, N1KV-Control, N1KV-Mgmt, N1KV-Packet and VMKernel) and all portgroups are in the same VLAN.
- vmnic1 to vSwitch1 for vMotion traffic
- vmnic2 to vSwitch2 for VM data
- vmnic3 to vSwitch3 for VM data
I have VSM and VEM version 4.2(1)SV1(4) installed on the same ESX host and connected to vCenter with the following port-profile and svs-domain configured. I am using L3 mode for VSM and VEM communication I believe this is what Cisco recommends going forward.

Here is my problem:
When I move vmnic0 to the system-uplink port-profile with N1KV-Control, N1KV-Mgmt, N1KV-Packet map to System-Console port-profile, and VMKernel maps to L3vmkernel port-profile, all seems to work fine at this point. I can see the VEM comes online and all is good. But when I start moving the second vmnic over (either vmnic1, vmnic1 or vmnic3 don't matter) all hosts got disconnected, vCenter shows all hosts disconnected. And the only way to bring the environment back is to log into ESX and run ESX commands to delete and recreate the vmnic's then map them back to vSwitch.
Has anyone ran into this issue before ? Could it be that vmnic is assigned to the vSwitch that you can't move it over to the N1KV ?
Thanks in advance !!! I appreciate any inputs / suggestions !!!

Linksys E3000 – WiFi Connectivity Issue

I usually have the 2.5GHz (B/G + WEP) and the 5.0 GHz (Mixed + WPA2-PSK) networks running. I have about two to three iPhones running on the 2.5GHz, one Laptop on the 5.0GHz and one desktop wired. Recently in the previous week I came across wireless issues on the E3000 Linksys Router when arriving home from work. My iPhone wasn’t connecting to the Network or my Laptop. It seemed as if the SSID wasn’t broadcasting. I went into the router and played around with it and didn’t find any issues with my user settings.
The router seems to broadcast the SSID for 2.5 & 5.0 sometimes [it disappears frequently] and when I’m able to attempt to connect it my iPhones plus my Laptop say “Unable to connect to network”. I’m not even connected to it wirelessly to manage the network. The desktop that is wired is able to connect stream internet across the modem though the router, this also goes when I wire my laptop as well.
I’ve made sure I have the latest Firmware: 1.0.04 & I’ve manually reset the router to factory defaults and still had the same connectivity issues. I’ve disabled the 2.5GHz broadcast and ran the 5GHz to make sure the connections weren’t conflicting with each other, which isn’t the case.
It seems I’m having broadcasting problems with the router and even resetting to factory settings aren’t working. I’ve noticed it’s not my devices that aren’t experiencing the issues because the iPhones and Laptop are having the same connectivity issue. My router is mounted to the wall and my modem is working perfectly.
Edit: The lights that are on & solid, during this problem is the Power + Internet + Wifi + Desktop(2)

I realize this is an old thread, but curious as to whether the firmware upgrade helped. My problem is similar, but a few things in my configuration changed over the past 2 weeks:
1) I added a new Roku HD wireless to my router (2 days ago)
2) I upgraded my broadband modem to the Comcast Arris TG862. I had them put this modem in bridge mode so that I could continue to use my E3000. (2 weeks ago).
3) I noticed that comcast created an open network on my TG862 called xfinity wifi. I turned this off (yesterday). Comcast does have an option for it.
Starting yesterday (after I turned off the comcast open network, I began to have problems on my 2.5 Ghz band on my linksys router. Never had these problems before. The network disappears, then re-appears. Somtimes I can connect to it but it's only a matter of time before it disappears again. 5 Ghz seems solid.
Last night, as a test, I turned my xfinity wifi open network back on, and all of a sudden my 2.5 Ghz was rock solid (at least for about 5 hours). It then disappeared again.
I will try the router firmware upgrade, but wondering if the Arris 862 could have anything to do with this. I'm not sure I trust comcast - particularly after they played that nasty open network trick on me.
Thanks!
2.4Ghz Routers only: Try single mode G or N or mixed G and N?
Channel Width set for Auto 20/40Mhz or try 20Mhz only.
Try setting a manual [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_channel] Channel [/url] to a open or unused channel. 1, 6 or 11. 11 for single mode N if the channel is clear. 13 for EU regions.
What security mode are you using? Preferred security is WPA-Personal. WPA2/AES Only. Some WiFi adapters don't support AES, so you might want to try TPIK only or Auto TPIK and AES.
Any 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz cordless house phones or WiFi APs near by?
Any other WiFi routers in the area? Link> Use http://www.metageek.net/support/metageek-software-archives/ to find out. How many?
I prefer not to use Arris branded modems or modems with built in routers. I recommend that you check to see if you can get into a Motorola SB 6141 or similar modem model that is stand alone. Comcast support Motorola modems I believe.
I recommend that you have your ISP check the cabling going to the ISP modem, check signal levels going to the ISP modem. For cable Internet, RG-6 coaxial cable is needed, not RG-59. Check for t.v. line splitters and remove them as they can introduce noise on the line and lower the signal going to the ISP modem. Connecting to the ISP modem could result in a false positive as the signal to the modem could be just enough to that point then adding on a router, could see problems. The router operation is dependent upon getting good data flow from the ISP modem and the modem is dependent upon getting good signal from the ISP Service.
Thank you for the suggestions. Security is WPA2/PSK. This has not changed.
A few questions. With regard to your last paragraph, even if I got a bad data flow from the ISP modem, I would still expect my router to be visible (or am I mistaken). I think, in the past, I've completely turned off my ISP modem and I could still see my router - just had no internet connection.
I'll look for other wifi routers - it just seems so darn coincidental with turning off that xfinity open wifi. I've always noticed other wifi signals in the area, I didn't actually notice any new ones (other than that silly xfinity one).
One thing I did do, I did remove an AP I had connected to the router when I set up the Roku because it seemed like it was un-necessary once I switched to the Arris modem. I just disconnected it... should it be degrown or something?
Thanks!

Internet Connectivity Issues

By process of elimination, I may have the right source of my problem, but may not!
Recently purchased a Time Capsule, primarily to replace my old Airport Extreme and extend its effective range within a new house. At the same time, I upgraded my iMac OS to Snow Leopard (so maybe this has caused a problem?!)
In the last few days have been having severe internet connectivity issues - either v slow speeds or so slow that Mail and/or Safari times out. My ISP tells me that their lines are working fine (I know they would say that, wouldn't they) and, admittedly, my old Powerbook (connected to the Airport network and onto the DSL router) is running Internet applications fine. So somthing seems to be wrong with the iMac or its setup.
Have run Network Diagnostics which tell me there's no problem (except it's still really slow!) and have obviously rebooted repeatedly (including the router and Time Capsule).
Any ideas?

Hello AnaB4,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I see that you are getting a message to connect to server to update ink levels when printing with the 8620. This has been an issue since the weekend, server problems have been noted as the cause. The only resolution I know of at this time is to follow the steps here: Re: How do I correct the date on my HP Envy 4500?, or keep hitting OK.
Cheers!

Connectivity issues between Cisco 2901 and Cisco SG300-52

Hello,
I am having some serious connectivity issues between the hosts in my LAN.
My LAN is based on a Cisco 2901 router and a Cisco SG300-52 port switch.
The issue that has been happening is that connections between hosts on the LAN (remote desktop, extended ping, etc) is very unstable, at some point I can see a 35% lost packets on an extended ping. This happens at any time of the day and from any host.
All hosts are on the same Vlan(default Vlan) and on the same subnet. Some hosts have fixed IP addresses (servers and network equipment) and others obtain their IP address trough a DHCP reservation established on the router (reserved with the MAC address of every host).
I can provide further details if needed, because this issue is very serious and I would really appreciate any insight or support.
Many thanks in advanced.
Sair Amer
EDIT: After doing every test we could think of, we finally found the reason behind this problem.
It turns out that the switch has problems handling communications between clients at different speeds, because most of the hosts connected were working at 100 Mbps but the servers were working at 1000 Mbps (and the communication between host and servers wasn't stable).
After manually setting the speed on all ports to 100 Mbps the problems have stopped.
Many thanks for you help on this issue.

I have a ipad 1. I seem to be having a lot of connectivity issues. It takes a long time to load and sometimes will not load a page at all. I seem to be having issues with streaming in that it will play a song and just stop.

Anyone had these issues?

IPad 2 is having connectivity issues since I updated to 8.0.2

My IPad 2 had connectivity for about 6 hours after I downloaded 8.0.2 last Saturday. Sunday morning I was back to NO SERVICE in the upper left hand corner. Yesterday I went to the Apple Store and they showed me how to reset the cellular data, and again I had my 3G back for 6 hours. Last night and again today we were back to NO SERVICE. Again I went to the Apple Store and they explained that there were a few phone models that were having cellular connectivity issues, but not IPads. Well, that's bunk, since I see the complaints that are exactly like mine all over the web. The Apple Store wiped my IPad clean and told me that if this is a software issue this should fix the problem. If this is a hardware issue then I will need to buy a new IPad.
Apple needs to own up to the problems that it caused with our devices. AT LEAST, we should be able to take the updates off of our IPads and go back to 7.0.
