The college on-line program I'm taking usesMozilla Firefox. I downloaded the Windows version; then received a message that the internet connection could not be found. Shortly thereafter I signed off from the internet. When I attempted to access the internet found I no longer was able to and had a message that Firefox was my current search engine. I tried many changes- unsuccessfully- in control panel. Finally removed Mozilla Firefox and then was able to get on the internet again. I've used Firefox in the past and appreciated it. I would like to have the use again and so wouldn't the college I'm taking on-line courses with. Is there a solution? Thank you.
There appears to be a problem with Firefox 20 with UNC paths when using roaming profiles on a server.

Firefox cant connect to the internet after a while of being on
Hi,
I posted this question some time ago and since i didnt get any working solution and I still have this issue I am reposting it now. My problem is simple: I start up my computer and open Firefox. I browse the internet normally. No problem so far. But lets say I go to take a nap or I just stop browsing to do something else on the computer without closing Firefox or whatsoever. After a while I go back to browsing on Firefox (the same window with the same tabs are still open) but now no page will finish loading no matter how long i wait.
So I close Firefox and open it again. Then I get a popup error saying Firefox is still running and that i need to close it. When i close that popup then i get another error saying it was unable to load my profile. I close that and reopen Firefox. Now it loads pages normally again but but only for 1 or 2 minutes and not any more after that. I repeat the whole process and i still get the same results until i restart my computer.
I have checked for any viruses and i have none at all and there is absolutely no problem with my overall connection since no other programs have this problems only Firefox. What can i do?
Thank you.
Edit: Im having the issue right now and I just checked but seems like some tabs work and some dont so i really dont get it.Hi again,
I have been testing and I still have this issue. I ran the recommended antivirus multiple times and seems like i got rid of the speedbit malware and so but it didnt any good. What can I do now? This problem is driving me crazy.
Thank you.

Problems connecting to the internet after Upgrade from windows 8.1 pro
Cant connect to the internet after upgrading to windows 8.1 pro, what can i do to rectify this problem?
ThanksHi,
You can also try to install the older version in compatible mode:
Windows 8.1 Wifi showing "limited" or "No Internet Access"
Solution: revert your network adapter driver back to an older version
http://blogs.technet.com/b/dennis_schnell/archive/2013/08/31/windows-8-1-wifi-showing-quot-limitied-quot-or-quot-no-internet-access-quot.aspx
In addition, disable power management on your network driver:
Open Network and Sharing Center.
Click the Change adapter settings link in the upper left of the navigation pane.
Right click the network connection you want to enable/disable power management support on and click Properties .
Click Configure .
On the Power Management tab, clear the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power check box.
If the issue still persists, please upload the event log for our research:

Cant connect wirelessly to internet after installing iphoto 9.2.1
I recently upgraede my system to 10.6.8. Today I downloaded and installed iPhoto 9.2.1 (going from 6.0.6). Now I cant connect to the internet wirelessly. Ethernet works. Could these actions have something to do with causing this problem?
Probsbly good to post in the OS forum along with the error message when it failes to connect
Is this failure only from iPhoto or from all software on teh Mac?

Firefox won't open/connect tp the internet. Explorer opens and connects. Windows firewall turned off. No other antivirus program running. Happened when I downloaded new Firefox update.
I had the same problem when i dl-ed a new anti-virus softward, but what I did help me reconnect Firefox again!
Here is what I did,
Go to open firefox browser-->option-->advanced-->network-->settings-->and change it to auto-detect proxy settings for this network!
It worked for you, hope it will work for you too =)!

Hi
My Macbook Pro 15 inch takes several minutes to be able to connect to the internet after waking from sleep. Does anyone else have this problem and is there a fix?

The message that comes up when I click on "TomTom Home Install" is "You cannot open Home Install because Power PC applications are no longer supported." Does this mean that the TomTom, which is absolutely vital to my life - well, not literally but you know what I mean - can no longer be used with my MacBook Pro?
What that means is that is can't be used with Lion 10.7. PowerPC was the chip Apple used up until 2006 when they switched to Intel. At that point, they created the Rosetta emulator to allow for PPC support for 5 years. They finally dropped the support with the release of Lion. It will only work with OS X 10.6 or earlier. The other option is to purchase a new GPS, which can be had for $100 for a decent one. -
I cannot connect to the Internet after installation of Windows Vista Ultimate edition.
I cannot connect to the Internet after installation of Windows Vista Ultimate edition. For some odd reason, it seems my ethernet has not yet been installed to my operating system and I do not know how to do that even with the internet, I have the LAN cable hooked up to my computer but I do not know exactly what to do about it. Is there some sort of driver I need to install, or what? How do I do that without the internet?
This operating system is on a separate partition to my other operating system that is connected to internet already (Windows Vista Premium) that I do not wish to use anymore because of it's corruption. I tell you this because you may know a way of finding the driver files on my previous operating system that I may be able to transfer to the other.In order to avoid board clutter, we ask that you post your topic on one board only.

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 drooping 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

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

Cant connect to the internet using my wrt54g
i bought the linksys wrt54g yesterday brought it home put in the setup disk and everythin was goin good until it came to step 10 and an error message came up saying: cant connect to the internet please shut off modem and turn it back on so tryed that still didnt work. so i found a thread when i searched this problem that said i had to bridge my westell 6100 modem to the router or somthin like that so i followed those steps and it still doesnt work can som1 help me please!?
Did you try to change the routers Ip address to 192.168.2.1?
I am not sure of that modem and not sure if it has a built in router ot not. Call your ISP and see if that modem is also a router running DHCP and everything else.

No longer can connect to the internet after updating to 10.4.10 for Intel
I (fortunately) use a cloning program (SuperDuper) to clone my MacBook Pro hard drive now and then on to an external Firewire hard drive... I say "fortunately" because after reading some of the problems folks were having with this most recent OS X update (10.4.10) I chose to update the cloned hard drive first before installing the update on the main drive... On or about 6/20 an update came out (that I can't find anymore so maybe they pulled it??) that was called "MacOSXUpd10.4.10IntelPatch.pkg". First I installed that update on my cloned drive... It booted and worked fine except that when I would try to communicate with the internet wirelessly, I could not... I didn't try a "wired" connection because I am not interested in connecting that way. The system would claim to connect to my wireless router (NetGear WGU624) but pages would time out before loading... Next I tried installing the newer (7/02) Combo package called "MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.10Intel.pkg" but that improved nothing. Still no useable wireless internet connection... So in no way will I be putting this 10.4.10 update (Patch or Combo) on my main drive until something gets fixed... In fact, I went ahead and overwrote what I had on the firewire drive by recloning my main drive (running under 10.4.9) to that firewire drive again... Once I got 10.4.9 reinstalled on that firewire drive, it again connected to the internet just fine... So my experience is that there is something not happy about either the Patch or the Combo updates for 10.4.10, at least as it relates to my Intel system... I also have a G4 PPC and on that machine, the PPC version of the 10.4.10 update worked just fine (though that is a wired connection, if that matters)... Anything I am missing or can someone offer other input other than not to upgrade at this time??? Thanks... Bob...
FW800 G4 dual 1.25 Ghz and 17 inch MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)Hello Robert:
I infer from your post that you selected the updates to install, rather than using software update (IMHO a bad idea). At the moment, as I understand your post, your backup is not working properly and your internal HD has not been changed.
I suggest this:
Clone your HD to your external firewire drive (new copy, not an update of changed data.
Then you have a clone in case someting goes wrong.
Update your HD using software update. If everything is running well after that, you are OK. If not, you can restore your HD from the clone.
The reason I favor using software update is that the system selects the proper software. When Apple releases updates, there are several versions available.
If you know all this, forgive the explanation - I do not know your level of computer expertise.
As an aside, there is nothing (that I am aware of) organically wrong with the OS X 10.4.10 update. Apple did release a 10.4.10 v1. update for the Intel boxes (I do not run Intel-based Macs, so I have not investigated it):

Software Update can't connect to the internet after a new install of 10.6
I had a clean install of 10.6 and after that the Software Update can't connect to the internet (the status bar hangs at the beginning and finally it prompts me the internet is not connected) while all my other applications can.
Someone help me out?I am having exactly the same problem as well.. has anybody managed to solve this yet? I have uploaded Snow Leopard - try to connect to Software Update - the menu bar scans a little then stops and then an error saying 'Not connected to the internet'' but the connection is working fine!!
Is this a SL issue? or just an overload with the Software Update programme? I cant do anything - no update for itunes/iphone software, etc.. most annoying.
Look forward to seeing some good news and some answers to this one.
Cheers
Linda
