Help. Firefox quit being able to connect with the internet. Other browsers can. Did a full reinstallation - no help. Windows 7
I have used firefox for years on Windows 7. I had an intermittent problem where firefox dropped the internet connection (unable to locate server) fixed by resetting the router.
Today, resetting the router did not work. I tried Internet Explorer - worked fine.
Booted and reinstalled firefox - same thing.
Did a wipeout reinstall - now nothing. You enter a url -nothing.
Help. I need my firefox.

I just upgraded to the new operating system on my iphone 4. I am trying to connect to imessage but I can't get it to work. I get a message saying to check my network settings. I have checked and I can connect to the internet. Any idea what I need to do?
If you have updated to iOS 5 then when you want to use messages you need register by going into settings then go to messages and then turn it on and use your apple I tunes ID. You can only use it between other updated devices.

Can connect to my house network, but can't connect to the Internet (other computers can)
Hello,
I'm experiencing a strange problem. Since I started my Mac Pro (cold start) some hours ago, I've lost the hability to connect to the Internet (Safari and Mail say I'm not connected). However, I can connect to 192.168.2.1 (my router) and see its webpage (it says it's connected to the Internet). If I use another computer on the same network, it can also connect to the Internet.
Weirder, if I go back to my Mac Pro with "no internet" and launch Parallels Desktop, then I can use WinXP to browse the Internet; I'm writing this post on my WinXP virtual machine.
This leads me to think there's a problem with how my Mac OS handles the networking. I have checked the Console, but the only related string I found is this:
16.04.13 22:03:25
kernel
SIOCPROTOATTACH_IN6: en2 error=17
As expected, Google doesn't reveal anything about that (and I'm connected with the first ethernet port). I've tried to restart my Mac, but the problem persists (exact same symptoms).
Could it be a DNS cache issue?
I don't see, other than a DNS problem, why I can't connect to the Internet with my Mac OS while I can on my virtual machines. If it was a driver problem, I wouldn't be able to connect to my router. If it's a DNS issue, where are the DNS caches located in order to clear them (I'd trash the folder)?
I could also reinstall the OS (waste of time, btw), but I'd really like to understand the problem, not just clear it and forget about it.
Or better than guesses, anyone already experienced this?
Any help welcome.If it's a DNS issue, where are the DNS caches located in order to clear them (I'd trash the folder)
No DNS caches, it looks up the alphabetic and then uses the numberic from then on.
http://17.149.160.49
is Apple, Inc main US web site. It that works, and the alphabetic does not, you have a DNS probelm. -
How do you turn off find my Iphone without being able to connect to the internet?
I cannot turn the find my IPhone feature off on my old phone since there is no service because I activated my new 6 and the Wi-Fi is burned out on the old phone. Need to turn this off for trade in purposes, but cant. I have tried recovery mode through iTunes, but it does not delete any data on the phone or reset any feature. Please help.
Log onto icloud.com on a computer and see if you can turn it off on there.

After updating to 10.7.3 I am no longer able to connect to the internet.
Updated to 10.7.3 this morning on my Macbook Air (Oct. 2010 model). After restarting, I am no longer able to connect to the internet. I can connect to the router, and pull a valid IP address (sometimes - other times I get an automatic private IP), but I am unable to get to any websites, check email, etc. I am able to ping websites AND visit websites using their IP addresses, but not using their DNS names.
I called Applecare this morning, and the tech walked me through some troubleshooting steps, including:
Rebooting into Repair partition to check connectivity there (same issues, no change)
Deleting and recreating various config files (Networkinterfaces.plist, preferences.plist and com.apple.airport.preferences.plist) (no change)
I've also tried reinstalling the update (both delta and combo), repairing disk permissions and rebooting into safe mode, nether of which has solved the issue.
Also on the network are (Mini, not updated to 10.7.3), a PC, my iPhone and an Apple TV, all of which aren't experiencing any issues. Any ideas?
Thanks.Here is something to try. Boot into the Recovery HD by holding
down Command+R when booting. Select the get help online option.
It initially opens Safari with a local web page, but you can use
the bookmarks on the bookmark bar or even enter a website.
Many extensions may not be available but it could tell you if
it is your Lion install that is a problem or perhaps a hardware
problem.
If you can browse around in this mode, then it could eliminate
any possible hardware issues. If you still have problems, then
the issue could possibly be hardware/driver related.
Give it a shot and see what happens. -
This is what i get when i try to connect with wi fi at my local liberary: Since i updated to MOUNTAIN LION!!!

I was having issues with firefox so I upgraded to firefox 4. I am connected to the internet but when I open firefox or even internet explorer it says Unable to connect problem loading page. Nothing will pull up!!!
I don't know if you are still having the issue but if you are have you contacted your ISP? It sounds to me like it's more of a connectivity issue than a browser problem. I've dealt with similar things several times and in both cases it was something with the modem or an ISP setting.
I'm also wondering if it could be a Wi-Fi issue. Can you log in to your router? (It varies by brand but you would go to a site such as http://192.168.10.1. That is for Trendnet. The information for yours should be in the documentation that came with it.)
You should be able to get the router log in page to come up even if you can't connect to any websites. (Provided the network is set up correctly.)
I also would double check your connection settings (if you're connecting over Wi-Fi) or your ethernet connection. (If you're connected directly to the modem and router.)
Hopefully one of these suggestions will be helpful. -

The clock on my iPad seems to be stuck ? Could this have anything to do with me not being able to connect with FaceTime ?
In order to backup to iCloud the iPad must be plugged into a power source, connected to WiFi and locked - meaning that it must be asleep - or with the lock screen only visible. This is for automatic backups.
If the iPad is not responding at all to any user input, try restarting it or resetting it and see if you can take the steps necessary to back up. You can initiate the backup manually as well.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. -

The computer was running IE, but that now seems to be corrupted
You can download the setup file from http://www.mozilla.com/ using the computer that can connect to the internet. You can copy the setup file (Firefox Setup 3.6.10.exe) to a USB key or burn it to a CD.
You can buy a CD from http://store.mozilla.org/ but I don't know how long it will take to arrive. -
Self-assigned IP address which is not able to connect to the internet.
Okay, so my whole issue started around six or more months ago. I have a white MacBook which I have never particularly had any connectivity problems with, at least that where caused by my laptop. I constantly am on the internet at home and have never had issues with wireless connection here. I am a full time student which means I am also constantly on campus with my laptop and needing access to the internet. Even so, there I have never had any issues with connectivity.
My issue is when I go to another university campus I am unable to connect to the internet. My airport finds the network I want and connects to it but usually within a few seconds the radial bars go a light gray and have an exclamation point through them . When looking under the Airport drop down list it simply says, "Airport has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet." This particular IP that is not allowing me to access the internet starts off with 169.**.*.**. I would provide the entire IP but as I am not on that campus at the moment, I can't and don't remember it fully.
I have tried SO many different things in order to find a solution but have come up empty handed every time. I've tried turning off my firewall and all of the steps that resolution includes and have also tried to resolve the issue through the creation of a new location, new network, and the use of network assistant on Airport.
I know it is not an issue of the universities wireless network because I can easily connect to the internet through my Ipod Touch without a password simply by finding the network, connecting, stating I'm a guest, and then agreeing to the terms of use. Same goes for my local campus wireless network on both my Ipod Touch and MacBook.
I am in extreme need of a resolution and would GREATLY appreciate any kind of feedback anyone can give me. If there is any other information you may need to help me out a little more accurately just let me know, I'll be happy to give you whatever I can so that I may figure this annoyance out!By the way, totally didn't mean to categorize this under Airport for Windows. This is my first post and OBVIOUSLY a figured out a way to mess it up. My bad. :S
But again I'd appreciate any help! :] -
Wi-Fi has self-assigned IP address 169.254.9.151 and will not be able to connect to the Internet
In trying to setup my AirPort Extreme, it connects to the Internet on ethernetcables to computer but says it is not on WI-FI. I have configured it with all that I casn think of and yet I get, "Wi-Fi has self-assigned IP address 169.254.9.151 and will not be able to connect to the Internet." Can anyone tell me what is wrong?
I did both a soft reset and a hard reset to no avail. PLEASE someone help!!
Thanks!I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.
