HELP! Internet Issue iMac OSX Lion!?

Today I turn my computer on (27 inch iMac 3.0ghz intel core 2 duo) and it won't connect to the internet. When I open airport utility and network diagnostics it tells me I'm successfully connected to my router (which is an airport extreme) and that there is no problem with my internet connection. Yet when I open safari or chrome or try to upload a youtube video it 100% won't connect to the internet. I know it is not my router because I have 2 other laptops tablets and iphones that are currently connected perfectly. Just my iMac won't connect, the only thing that tells me it's not a dead airport card is that it recognizes the router and my neighbors different routers just when connected to my network I can't do anything. Any help would be great, somehow to reset that hardware or something I don't know. Thanks!!!

  • Request help for purchasing HD webcams using iMac, OSX &Lion

    I am requesting help for purchasing a HD webcam using iMac, OSX &Lion.  Any suggestions would help.  The following is what I've done so far...
    I purchased Logitech's HD C910 webcam. It was a mess in requards to freezing up, no zoom and most of all no adjustments in: contrast, hue, color, etc. You're stuck just like a car with no engine or wheels who wants that.  The other Logitech products i.e. Pro 9000 is being discontinued with no software updates in the future  and the same with the other products. Most of the other manufactures do not provide software that is really compatible provideing true HD with full features. I'm willing to spend around $199,00 or so.  Any suggestions?

    Well I found my own answer to the webcam concern that I had ....I bought the Logitech C-910...Yes, I know the Logitech states their software is not compatible with OS X ...That's OK, I only use the basics supplied by Logitech to open the cam...Logitech does supply HD settings which are useful.  I like the wide angle which is there to play around. Then I use a software program called "Webcams Settings" found at Apple's App Store. There is a small charge for this download but more than worth it to have a fully functioning system.  The best way to get there is obliviously via your "Dock." Click on the icon and type in "Webcam Settings" in the top right portion of the page and presto....you have all the goodies to play like a professional. i.e.:  zoom, pan, tilt, aperture. etc. of course your webcam camera(s) must have the capability to perform these options in order to use them.
      Note I have used my webcam for everything you can imagine and have a 60 foot cord (several cords linked together) to go outside (LOL) 'Just love the goodies with "Webcam Settings".  I take outstanding pics too if I do say so, please.  Funny, I rarely use my cam to Skype but knowing the option is there for me anytime I wish.  I my cam to photograph orchids and misc. even portraits and family play photos with my tripod in hand.   Just because there is a big road block in your path doesn't mean there aren't other avenues. In the corporate life it's called take a negative and make it a positive or else.......and if you have to gripe then you better have an idea on how to turn it around.  -So- I did Logitech and Apple.

  • Buy apple care plan help fix everything for the imac osx lion 10.7.5

    Hi apple pplz.. I have a question to ask you. If i buy renewal my apple care plan for imac osx lion 10.7.5. Sometime in the future, if my computer is broken down or having issue on the computer. What the apple care plan coverage all the internal part if anything goes wrong it. Cause i don't want to pay for a huge money just for fixing the parts if cost more $1000, worth more than i bought it brand new??

    Apple is not here, you're talking to other users.
    If you buy the AppleCare warranty, it will cover any defects in the computer, just like the included one-year warranty. Note that you must purchase AppleCare within one year of the purchase of the Mac.

  • I can't open almost any app on my iMac (OSX Lion 10.7.4). Every time I attempt to do so, the app "unexpedtely quits" and can't go further. This happens with iTunes (when I turn to the iTunes Store), MacApp Store, Software updates an many other apps...

    I can't open almost any app on my iMac (OSX Lion 10.7.4). Every time I attempt to do so, the affected app "unexpedtely quits", showing a window (sort of expanded dialog box) with the log history, wich form a complete report wich is said to be sent to Apple. Despite that this window has a "restart" button, I haven't been able to go any further from this point, as it repeats the process again and again, impeding me to use the affected app.
    This has get to a critical point, as it is afecting apps like iTunes (especifically when I turn to the iTunes Store from within te app), MacApp Store, Software Updates (I can't update anything, given this problem) and many other apps, including Aperture 3, Fusion 4, integrated Dictionary and Wikipedia, as I've been able to verify.
    As far as I'm concerned, it hasn't affected apps like Office, Vectorworks, Pixelmator, iDraw, Quick Note...
    Can anybody help me on this matter?
    Thanks a lot, in advance...

  • We have an iMac OSX Lion.I received a CD with photos on it by a friend of mine. She scanned the photos to her computer and gave the disk to me . I installed it yesterday. I can hear the disk spinning but no pictures come up. What would be the problem?

    We have an iMac OSX Lion.  I received a CD with photos on it from a friend of mine. My friend scanned the photos to her computer and gave the disc to me. I can hear the disc spinning but the pictures aren't coming up to view. Before having the iMac I had a Dell computer.  I was able to view the photos at that time. Is there something I can do so I can view them on my iMac? Thank you.

    The information I see in disk utility is the following: MacIntosh HD superdrive. 1TBST31000528A S Media

  • Add password to Internet Sharing in OSX Lion

    Firstly, thank you for taking the time to read this discussion thread.
    The thread concerns Internet Sharing in OSX Lion.
    Prior to Lion, you were able to add a password, so that for example, if you are sharing the Internet from your Mac to the Ipad, a dialog box would be displayed on your Ipad where you could input the your password. This made both the Internet connection between your Mac and the Ipad secure.
    Is there a way to do this in OSX Lion?
    I realise that there is a password dialog under the Wi-fi option, but this asks for ASCII and HEX password. I have tried to input my previous password in the dialog, but it will not accept it.
    Thank you for your time

    I had the same problem, and I think I have fixed it.  What was happening for me was everything was running just fine until I had to restart my Mac for whatever reason and then my iPad and iPhone both stopped being able to connect to the Internet although they were connected to the shared network I had created.
    To get it working again all I had to do was go into General settings on the iThings and go to reset and select 'Reset Network Settings' (The downside of this, of course, is that it will forget all your other passwords.) and then I was able to reconnect. 
    I also discovered in the Keychain Access on the Mac that there were several versions of the Internet Sharing password stored in there from when I had messed about changing the network name and such like, so I deleted all of those and set a new password for the network.
    Hope this is of some use to you.

  • Wi-Fi issue in OSX Lion 10.7.2

    Shall i begin to say i love Apple and their great products so much! iI bought a 27'' iMac with snow leopard on it. I really was excited about OSX Lion, and it definilty make it expantasion clear it's a great os!
    However since the upgrade to Lion there are some issues with the wi-fi conection it sometimes drops then i must reconect the iMac to my router then it works agian. Also the internet connection is very slow. i tried anything you can think of: Switch of wi-fi and then turn it on agian, remove the wi-fi and then enter the same router,switch security settings,switch the channel,reset DRAM it does't solve the problem. I really hope Apple can fix this issue,Aside from the Lion wi-fi drops my iPad had a issue with wi-fi as well under iOS 4.2 the wi-fi sometimes dropped under iOS 5 this is solved.

    That does not work for me. I've done it numerous times on various wi-fi networks I use. On one unsecured network, the wi-fi connection came back automatically as I did other work, but I could not replicate how. Also, at two other locations that are important, and where I cannot influence the router settings (which work for all other user, as far as I can tell), I cannot restore the connection for the life of me. My wi-fi icon shows greyed-out bars with an exclamation point icon through the middle. I am on 10.7.4 now, but have had problems since 10.7.2. Here is some of the crap I get:

  • Triple Display Issue with OSX Lion

    I have the following setup:
    iMac OSX (Snow Leopard)
    3.06 GHz Intel Core i3
    4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    500GB Hard Drive
    I have 3 monitors hooked up, one is a 24 inch benQ through mini display with vga and then i have the 21.5 imac and then a 23 inch acer hooked up with an external usb video card usb to dvi. I had this setup before lion was released when i was using snow leopard and it worked perfectly fine, but now with the lion update it does not work the screen just continuiously flickers on and off; i tried swapping monitors and it still doesnt work so it has to do with a possible software issue.
    I have updated to the latest drivers, installed restarted and everything i can think of; does anyone have any suggestions?
    This is a video I made of my issue:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h23Rtkfiuq8&feature=channel_video_title
    If anyone can help i would GREATLY appreciate it!

    I'm pretty sure its not a monitor issue, as the issues vary between monitors
    I'm pretty sure this is a display and adapter and interface problem, especially when the name(s) of your display(s)  show up wrong after sleep.
    The Mac uses one display driver that is highly parameterized. The parameters to be used are set by sending a query to the display for its name and capabilities. This query is sent on the secondary digital data channel, and is sometimes referred to as EDID data.
    Currently both 20's are recognised as 'vga display' or 'color LCD', no resolution options are available, just what it defaults to (640 x 480)
    When the name of the display is not correctly reflected in the name of its Display Preferences pane, that is a direct indication the display-adapter-cable-display part of the chain "dropped the ball" in resounding to the Mac's query for capabilities.
    Adapters that do not pass the EDID data through, and displays that do not answer when queried for their name and capabilities are the primary source of problems. For example, TV sets that are not "paying attention" to the secondary data channel, and therefore do not answer the query, drive Mac users crazy.
    The query is sent in response to four different events:
    • System Startup
    • wake form sleep
    • cable insertion at the Mac-end (not necessarily at the Display-end)
    • The use of the Option-Detect_Displays button in Displays Preferences window

  • White screen of death - iMac OSX Lion

    I upgraded my 2007 iMac to Lion and after a few days of perfect running the think locked up.  When I forced the power off and back on it seemed to be booting fine (chimes, apple logo, disk spinning up and I could hear the drive head seeking) but then it froze up in the "White Screen of death" (WSOD).  It was complete lockd up again, and nothing would bring it back.  I had to reboot again.  And again.  Everytime it seems to be ok, but then locks up after it the screen goes white. . I did command option , p r keys with three chimes. I have unplugged it and let it sit.  I disconnected all periferals.  I reset the SMC.  I booted into Single User mode and used unix commands to check the HD.  No errors found.  I disconnected my wireless Time Capsule.
    Note that it appears to be booting fine at first with the useaul Apple Logo.  And when I boot into the Single User mode all the text indicates no faults.  The display and HD appear fine.
    I inserted my original OSX Leopard disk and and tried to boot from it, using the "C" boot process and the Option boot method to manuualy select the DVD.  No good.  It just went into the WSOD again. 
    I have no idea what to try next!

    RATS!
    After ersing (and zeroing) out the HD nothing changed.  I still could not completely boot up the install disk.  I tried the original Leopard disk, and the Apple Lion USB thumbdrive.  Both started the boot process, and gave me the grey Apple logo.  But then after a minute or two jumped into the White Screen of Death.
    I then replace both RAM chips.  No change. 
    Now I have a brick.  A very large and heavy brick.
    But the computer will woerk as Target Disk Mode, and it actually goes through a normal boot cycle.  That is, I can go into the Single Ud=ser mode and all UNIX command work fine.
    Does anyone have any additional ideas of what can cause this?

  • CF card + card reader + iMac + OSX Lion = Dead mouse + keyboard

    When I insert a CF card to my card reader which connects to iMac 2011 running OSX Lion, both my magic mouse and wireless keyboard stop working. I have to do a force shut down to resolve. What would be the root cause and any permanent fix?

    Try doing a both SMC and PRAM resets, you should try each 2-3 times if they don't work the first time. If that doesn't work then restart in Safe Mode which will clear some caches, it's possible one has become corrupt.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.

  • Upgrading iMac OSX Lion to OSC Mountain Lion. Bad idea?

    I've heard that some people have had lagging and freezing problems with there upgrade to Moutain Lion.
    I have a iMac OSC Lion. i got for christmas in December 2011. So its almost been a full year with this computer, and i dont want to slow my computer down.
    Should i upgrade it?
    Yes i am planning on using the new apps or the apps i dont have on this mac or certain features, i just dont want my mac to be lagging
    and freezing and not running slow.
    Any tips?
    This is my first mac(:

    Well, only you can decide for yourself, but I can tell you a little about my experience...
    I have a MacBook Pro from late 2011, and it was running Lion (10.7) when I got it and has been all the way up until this week.  I was working on a project that didn't finish until mid last week, and I wasn't about to upgrade this machine in the middle of that project (although I did upgrade my late 2007 MacBook Pro to Mountain Lion as soon as I got it).  In general, my 5 year old computer is just as fast (or maybe just a bot faster) running Mountain Lion as it was with Lion.  It upgraded without a flaw, and has been workign great for me the whole time.
    My 2011 MacBook Pro was a bit of a different story...  When I first tried to upgrade it to Mountain Lion last weekend, it hung in the first reboot after the installer had copied everything to the HD.  I restored from my backup (taken minutes before the upgrade attempt was started).  Over the next 2-3 days, I went through the install process probably 8-9 times before I finally get a working system.  I had deduced that the "hang" was a compatibility issue, eoither with hardware, or with some software that runs at a very low level.  After swapping the RAM back to the "stock" RAM which came in my MBP with no change, I determined it was most likely software.  I tried uninstalling VMWare Fusion, Parallels Desktop, etc.  Nothing "fixed it".  Finally, using some diagnostic tools I found an old piece of software I had installed 2 years ago that seemed to be causing the hang.  After removing that, the install went flawlessly.  For the first evening, my system seemed a bit slower, but Spotlight was updating all of its search history, and ever since then, the machine has been great.  I can't tell any difference between 10.8.2 and 10.7.5, other than 10.8.2 "seems faster" (now).
    If you make a good backup of your system using a toole like SuperDuper, or Carbon Copy Cloner, you can upgrade and try it out for yourself.  If you are not happy, you can restore your backup fairly easily, and be back to your older OS version.  I made my backup on a bootable external drive, and it only took about 30 minutes to perform a restore if needed...

  • N00b needs help setting up MAC OSX Lion Server for email.

    I recently purchased a Mac Mini running OSX Lion Server and I really don't understand how to set it up as an email server (which was my main goal). Eventually I'd like to set it up to host just about everything else, but I can't seem to figure out how to set up my router and MX records to point to my server in order to host imap mail. I do have a static IP by the way but this N00b is confused... Please help!

    Funny you should ask, because I have been spending the day trying todo the same. I just need to know what to enter into my mx record in network solutions. I can send mail, but I can't receive it just yet. Any help would be great.

  • IMac OSX Lion 10.7.4 loses Wifi after waking up from sleep

    So basically just like my title states, when my computer wakes up from sleep about 70% of the time the internet will not work. My mac does see and connect to my network, but something isn't being sent as I have no connection when trying to surf the web. I then reset my modem and router, and it still doesn't work. What fixes my problem is a reboot or Logging out and back in. I don't know why that does the trick but it does. I have looked at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1501, however this update is only for 10.7.3. Is there something I can do to fix this problem?
    As a side note, if I have Parallels Desktop running my iMac's wifi after sleep will not work, but it will work in the Windows 7 parallel. Why is this?

    Hello, this has worked for some...
    Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...

    System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
    The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
