I have a laptop that connects to the internet, but only has IE installed and message comes up "cannot display the webpage etc..." so I want to download firefox to install on my other computer and see if this lets me access the net. Any advice appreciated

Can I do this using a memory stick? If so, how?

You can also check the following:
* Your modem and/or router are both on and are not indicating errors. The problem may be with your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Contact your ISP for more information.
* If you are using a wireless connection, that you are using the correct access point.
* Your Domain Name System (DNS) server translates web addresses (URLs) into IP addresses and is usually provided by your ISP. If the DNS server is overloaded, you may be unable to view some or all websites. For example, if http://74.125.53.99 or http://74.125.159.105 work but http://www.google.com doesn't, you may have a DNS problem. You can use an alternative service such as OpenDNS (http://www.opendns.com/) or Google Public DNS (http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/).
* Whether your Internet security software (including firewalls, antivirus programs, anti-spyware programs, and more) is blocking connections to the Internet. For instructions on how to configure some programs, see the Firewalls article (https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firewalls).
Check and tell if its working.

  • My new I pad three connects to the internet but only for a brief period of time. I then have to restart it only to get the same results.

    You are correct.  Syncing should transfer any purchased media, including videos, from your device to your iTunes library provided your computer is authorized for the Apple ID used to make these purchases.  You mentioned that you have uninstalled iTunes before, but if you didn't follow this guide exactly, uninstalling iTunes and all of its components in the order specified, it may not have been successful so you should try again:  Windows XP or Windows Vista/7.

  • Can I download firefox to a disc on another computer and transfer it to my home pc that way?

    I updated firefox to the newest version and it wouldn't work (something about the proxy server) so I stupidly tried to fix it by using the restore program. I then realized that the old firefox was uninstalled when I downloaded the new updated version and now I have no way to get on the internet at home.

    Yes, all you have to do is go to:
    [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html]
    Download the setup program to a flash drive (or write it to a CD) and take it to the other machine and run it.

  • Can use the internet but only one computer at a time...

    I have a very old PC with no ethernet ports and i have one macbook pro. I just bought an airport base station and have connected it to my modem via an ethernet cable, and the modem is then connected to my PC via USB.
    This set up allows me to connect wirelessly with my macbook pro, but if i want to connect to the net via my PC it won't let me...unless i turn off the base station and then reboot the modem. but now i can't connect wirelessly.
    Apple guys say, because I'm not connected directly to the PC from the base station (due to no ethernet ports) I'll never get round this problem. Before I give up, is there any thoughts on how i can resolve this catch 22?
    Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

    When I encountered the same problem a while back, I discovered that I had mistakenly connected the ethernet cable from my modem into one of the <-----> (ethernet) port on the back of my Airport instead of the O (WAN) port.
    It belongs in the O port.
    I hope your problem is this simple to solve.

  • Ipod touch doesnt connect to the internet but iphone has no trouble at the same time

    I have a 3rd gen ipod touch and all of a sudden the internet stopped working on it. Its still connected to the wi-fi and all other computers and my iphone are all working ok. Have tried resetting everything, powering off the touch, reset network settings etc but no joy.. Any ideas?

    You have dine some great troubleshooting so far and you are on the right track I would look at a restore now but not from the backup. I would try as a new device... This is to see if it is a software or hardware issue...

  • My iPad is not connecting to the internet- but it has wifi

    so, i went on my iPad and i look to see if i got any texts, but i have none. eh, thats a little weird, but not crazy. So, I try to send a text. it says, NOT DELIVERED. so, I'm like, okay… thats cool, maybe I'm not connected to wifi, or she has no wifi? but, so then i go to play family feud. "No connection" it says. then i go to the app store. I'm on for a sec, but then "no connection" again. I have wifi. it clearly says so. what should i do?
    also, this is an iPad MINI

    You clearly don't have WiFi. Your iPad is detecting a WiFi network and that's why you see the white fan in the upper left corner. Some things that you can try.
    Try turning WiFi off and on.
    Reset your iPad by holding down in the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
    Reboot your router. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds.
    Try resetting Network Settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.

  • Just got an iPad and am connected to my internet but can't sign in into messages or FaceTime

    What do I do

    Also, if you are getting the "check network connection message" try these suggestions.
    Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
    If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't work, go to Settings> General> Reset> Reset all Settings. No data will be lost, but you will have to re-enter all of the device settings again.

    Does this mean that the Time Capsule is connected to the Internet but it has a flashing amber light?.....or.....does this mean that the Time Capsule is not connected to the Internet and it has a flashing amber light?
    If you are using a Mac, we need to know what operating system you are using in order to provide troubleshooting advice.

    Did you disable all the extensions before restarting?
    If it works in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective:
    *all extensions are disabled
    *the default theme is used (no persona)
    *userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored
    *the default toolbar layout is used (localstore-safe.rdf)
    *the Javascript JIT compiler is disabled
    *hardware acceleration is disabled
    *plugins are not affected
    *preferences are not affected

  • My mac seems to have a virus thats connected with a few apps i use and i can't use them without my computer glitching out even though i've reinstalled the apps a few times.

    My mac seems to have a virus thats connected with a few apps i use and i can't use them without my computer glitching out even though i've reinstalled the apps a few times.  It's very frusterating especially when i'm doing someting when my  computer randomly freezes or justs logs out for no reason when i'm using the apps.

    Matthew,
    if you boot your MacBook Pro in Safe mode, do those apps still behave in the same way?

  • HT203175 I have one laptop that itunes will open but will not connect to the iTunes store

    I have a laptop that itunes will open but never accesses the store.  I have verified that there are no viruses and the internet connection is excelent.  I have been through several of the troubleshooting tips on the web sitebut no luck.  So I cannot deautherize that laptop since I am at my limit of 5 computers under one account which I think is crap since 2 of the computers died and I can never deautherize them ever!

    All of this just so I can update my **** software version on my 5th iPhone.
    Please help if there is anyone outhere....
