Hotspot not connecting on PowerMac G5 10.5.8

When I connect the iphone via usb, what shows up in the Network Connections is:
Ethernet (en1)
(it does NOT show the iPhone USB)
"Ethernet (en1)" is "connected" - with the green light - and my iPhone says "Personal Hotspot: 1 Connection", but there is no internet connection when i open Safari or Firefox.
Any advice on this would be great!
Thanks in advance.....

Didn't get any help on this...but here is what I found:
To use Personal Hotspot on a Mac computer, you must have iTunes 10.5 or greater installed for it to work.
(I had 10.0)

IPad will not connect to my Torch 9850 hotspot

Before upgrading to iOS6, my iPad would connect hit and miss to my 9850 hotspot connection. Had to play with it a lot to get it to connect sometimes. Since upgrading to iOS6, my iPad has not connected to my 9850 hotspot since. My hotspot does appear to connect to all other devices (several laptops, couple of android phones, etc.). It just will not connect to my iPad. I went to the Apple Store and found that their iPad behaved the same. What was odd was that we did get some connections to my 9850 hotspot inside the Apple Store, but not outside the store, in the mall, in the car, etc.
This appears to be very strange. I would like to blame all this on the iPad, but I am wondering if I really can. Has anyone else had any problems connecting their 9850 hotspot to their iPad, especially since upgrading to iOS6?
For reference, I am running BB OS v7.1.1737. I have restored my iPad to factory and retested, and not long ago, I completely restored my 9850 using Desktop Software, after the over the air upgrade flaked out.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you all...

Try a reset on both devices. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously, ignoring the red power off slider, until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. This should not affect any content on the iPad, it is similar to rebooting your computer.

My laptop will not connect to firefox as my browser using my lg adroid as adaptor hotspot. Says windows can not find firefox on my computer.

The connection is extremely slow and will not connect to firefox. It will not connect to yahoo.com as my homepage. But it will connect to facebook. My LG-MS770_991 is my portable hotspot and is wi-fi configured. Cell phone provider is MetroPcs.

Please update to version 24.0 when you have the chance. Please also check with another browser to see if you can reproduce the issue.
thanks

PowerMac G4 will not connect to the internet via ethernet

I am normally a very mac savy person, but I cannot get this to work...
I have an Airport Express connected to speakers, a USB printer and an ethernet hub, which is connected to a cable modem and also a PowerMac G4 via ethernet. There is also a wireless iMac thrown into the mix. All hardware has up-to-date software.
The wireless iMac gets online, prints and plays music wirelessly.
The wired PowerMac G4 will not connect to the internet via ethernet, it is killing me.
I have gone through all the settings and cannot figure this one out. I really appreciate all advice.
Thanks,
G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi pradagirl,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Leaving the other peripherals out, tell us the connection sequence from the G4 outbound.
Also, you might gain more insight at the Networking Forum

IPad will not connect to any other wifi network besides iPhone hotspot.

I have 3 iPads and until recently they all worked flawlessly using a mediocre wifi signal. One of them now will only work with my iPhone hotspot and will not connect to any other wifi network. I have rest it removed the cover and it still does not work. Please advise.
Thanks

Try this Method:
Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings (NO DATA WILL BE DELETED)
Reconfirm it again when the notification pops up and wait for the phone to reboot itself

Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power to it for 30 seconds.

TS1398 why can my friend not connect to wi fi hotspots i.e. costa and mcdonalds

My friend has an Ipad 2 but is finding it difficult to contact to the internet, when out of her home, the I pad will connect to her home router, and my home router, but will not connect to places like costa etc, even when a code is available and input in to the ipad, has anyone any ideas.

Some of these won't apply.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

AirTunes connects on PowerMac, NOT on WindowsXP!

I am an advanced computer user, very knowledgeable with everything technical, yet I am completely lost as to what is happening.
AirPort utility locates the base station just fine,
the base station is connected to my wireless network,
iTunes finds the base station and offers me to connect to it,
a macintosh computer connected to my wireless network will connect through iTunes no problem,
BUT
on all windows XP machines the connection through iTunes times out. I get no error messages, simply a 'connecting to stereo' message for 30 seconds which then disappears.
Odd things:
1)at first, iTunes on windows XP would not connected through airTunes on any computers. An hour of fiddling through options later, it worked on ALL of them. It worked for perhaps two hours, and then would randomly stop and start. By the end of the day, it worked NOWHERE, and since then has not worked at all. (It's been 4 days since then of complete confusion on my part, since I HAD IT WORKING FOR A COUPLE HOURS!) I tweaked setting after setting, and each time the Macintosh would happily connect, while windows XP did nothing. I'm a computer programmer by profession and this has me baffled.
2)when I have the airport utility installed, my windows zero configuration (the default wireless utility with XP) will randomly disconnect from my router. Not only that, but sometimes it SHOWS ME as disconnected, ("not connected") but IS IN FACT connected, as I can browse the net, chat on AIM, etc. Then 10 minutes later it will disconnect again. I can't go more than 10 minutes connected before it disconnects again, and connecting back is seemingly RANDOM. I have NEVER in my life seen something so bizarre. (Another thing I just noticed: my WEP password actually gets DELETED or CHANGED from saved memory, and the checkbox that says 'the key is provided for me automatically' magically gets checked sometimes. To connect I have to go in and RE-ENTER my wep key. )
Please, I am going crazy. Does anyone know what is going on????? ANY insight will help. When you suggest fixes, keep in mind that it was working at one point on all computers - so things such as 'open your firewall ports' are not relevant.
Thank you

Yep.
Put the G5 to sleep one night, wouldn't wake from sleep --still under Apple care, long story short, longer phone calls w/ Apple tech, but they had to come out and the last thing the guy tried and replaced was the power button (funny when he was taking it apart, I held the button and said this sounds loose, but he said, well if it was faulty you'd see this and that -- turned out your truly was right) and that turned out to be it an only it. Replaced, been fine since.

My iPhone safair says it cannot open because it is not connected to the internet. What do I do? I do not believe I changed any settings. I have turned the phone off but this did not work.

Safari cannot open because the iPhone is not connected to internet. I do not believe I have changed any settings. I have turned off the phone and then on, but this did not work. Help?

For Safari to work, you need either Wi-Fi or cellular data.
Are you connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot?
If not is Settings > Mobile/Cellular > Mobile/Cellular Data: ON

TS1398 Purchased new iPad and have no Internet access. I purchased a plan for a hot spot but when I try to do any type of search it says not connected. I have connectivity with my phone with the same carrier. Help

I purchased a new iPad and bought a wireless plan with Verizon but can not get the settings to connect or look for a wifi connection. I can connect to our house wifi but it will not connect on its own. Any help would be appreciated.
