I am trying to setup bootcamp on my MacBook Air. Network diagnostics doesn't believe I'm connected to the internet... but I am!!???

I am trying to setup bootcamp on my MacBook Air. I have a wifi internet connection which works fine in Safari etc. However, when I get to the point of downloading the windows install files I am told the network is not connected, but it is!
I have a simple automatic connection set up to a wifi router which works fine for all standard internet functions - mail, safari, downloads in safari etc. Where it falls down is that the system doesn't recognise it in network diagnostics. When I reach the point of downloading win installation files for my air from the internet it says I am not connected to the internet and runs network diagnostics which proceeds to break my internet connection. If I stop network diagnostics, close the windows and simply switch my wifi off and on then I'm back up and running, but the network diagnostics still doesn't believe it.
Any ideas? Seems completely illogical to me...

This is the message I get if that helps anyone...

Trying to restore my iPhone and itunes says it's not connected to the internet, but my web browsers work fine

I tried to restore my iPhone 3G and I get a message that I am not connected to the internet but, I can barouse on the internet with my search engins.

It's hard to tell what password you are referring to. But my guess is you are being asked for the password to the iPhone's backup you created in iTunes. It sounds like you chose to encrypt the backup.
If that is the case, the following applies:
Warning: Make sure it's a password you will remember or write it down for safekeeping. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you can't restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable.
If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and chooseset up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.

The iPad keeps giving me an error that it is unable to verify the update due to not being connected to the internet, but I am. I have tried power cycling the iPad, disconnecting and reconnecting to the internet... None of which has any effect. Any ideas?

1. Close all the applications (double click home button and close the running applications.
2. keep the home+power button pressed till the time device reboot automatically.
ones rebooted go to settings-> general -> software update.
it should check for the latest update 7.1 which you can download and install.

I tried connecting my Ipod Touch 5th generation to the internet via ad-hoc from my windows 7 laptop. My iPod was connected to the internet but just in a moment. Then it disconnects. I tried so many other option such as creating another ad-hoc from other laptop but still the same result. Is there something wrong with my iPod? this is so frustrating. I've been using ipod touch 4th gen before I got the 5th and connecting to the internet via ad-hoc was never a problem for me. Would someone help me?

When trying to install downloaded software I am prompted to connect to the internet but I already am connected and the software will not install.

A cable modem always needs a complete reset whenever you change the device that it is connected to.
To get your Internet signal restored, it will require at least one major step including the reset of your modem and complete network power cycle.
If that is not successful, the second major step is to reset the AirPort Extrreme back to factory defaults and then combine the steps above again.
Try this first:
Push the reset button on the cable modem (if present) and pull the internal batter (if easily accessible) then power off the modem
Power off everything else on your network....all devices....order is not important
Wait at least 20 minutes...longer will not hurt
Make sure that the Ethernet cable from the modem is connected to the WAN port (circle of dots or world icon) on the AirPort Extreme
Re-install the modem battery if it was pulled in the step above
Power up the modem and let it run for 4-5 minutes by itself
Power up the AirPort Extreme and let it run for 4-5 minutes
Power up each other network device one at a time about a minute apart until everything is powered back up
Check the network for proper operation

I moved from an old macbook to a new one. I have installed Office for Mac 2011. I copied all my files from my old notebook onto a hard drive. On trying to setup my mail, i went into my hard drive and accessed microsoft user identities, office 2011 and it shows the database but wont let me select it. Its almost as if the file is there but not accessable. I desperately need to access my old mail. How do I do this? I am fairly confident that I copied all files off my old notebook. Is there a way for me to search for the Database file? Maybe I copied it to a different location? Urgent help please.

Hello mafrerichs and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
Simplest way is to use Target Disk mode:
How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode - Apple Support
and hook to another Mac and use CCC or SuperDuper and clone your HD to another drive.
You could also pull the drive out of your MBP and use an external USB case or SATA - USB dongle to hook it to another Mac.

HT4972 I keep getting an error when trying to update my ipad software to IOS5. The error is a Network timeout error when in fact my connection to the internet is stable and strong. Any suggestions?

I've tried to update my ipad softward to the new IOS 5 software but keep getting internet connection errors.
Initially, I thought it was related to my internet connection but I've tried with full connection and still getting the same error.
Any suggestions would be a great help.

Any other suggestions?

Hello Stevej13,
The first thing I would do is follow step six in this document to set a static IP: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02817031&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=4023246&tmp...
When it askes for DNS information, enter in Google's DNS. Preferred DNS = 8.8.8.8 Alt DNS = 8.8.4.4
If that does not help, if you could provide me with the following information it would help me out. First, who is your ISP( Internet Service Provider, i.e. Comcast, AT&T, Verizon, ect.)? Second, who is the maker of your router? Lastly, what is the model number and firmware version of your router?

You may have to see about using the Recovery HD partition to attempt to erase and restore useful function of the capacity lost to the former Windows installation.
And you may have to backup your contents outside the computer to do it. Disk Utility on the Mac OS X historically has not been able to touch a BootCamp created partition; so if BootCamp cannot remove it, then you have to see how to do the equivalent of a reformat of the entire drive (less Recovery partition?) then reinstall your OS X. Maybe from internet recovery, then get your applications, etc from the Mac App store, etc.
A complete system clone of your OS X on an external HDD would be another method to restore after reformat, of the portion you want whole again, not necessarily the space where Recovery may live.
There may be (an)other way(s).
Perhaps someone with recent experience
in this matter can reply & discuss options.
With my antiques, they almost know what I want before I tell them.
Hopefully yours will after you talk to it awhile.
Good luck & happy computing!

I have downloaded the latest UFR II driver. (UK Version)
I am trying to connect to the printer but the printer is not appearing in my Print/Fax Preferences.
When I click the box "More Printers" under the Default printer the drop down box gives me a heading "Canon IPv6 (UFRII) with the option to add or cancel. (The add is highlighted). But there are no printers showing in the box. Nothing. Can anyone help?
Is there a problem with my Mac setup or maybe a setting in my printer?
