I keep losing my internet, sometime if I restart it helps. Had provider come, got new router and that is ok.

Is there a program I need to purchase, been seeing that Mackeeper and such programs aren't good.
It is also running sluggish.

No program to purchase. What you need to do is clean up your machine manually of excess software you don't need. See this tip:

I have a brand new iMac (late 2012) that keeps losing its internet connection

I have a brand new iMac (late 2012) that keeps losing its internet connection - like every five minutes. I have had it for three weeks. During the first two weeks, it worked flawlessly. However, just as the refund period ended - it became desktop dead weight. Suggestions?

did u ever get a solution to this? I have the same 2012 mines 27". It drops after sleep sometimes and can't find anything. Wifi. Connection to the Internet. I pull up network assistant it just gives me blank stares and restart everything. It doesn't even see the time machines and they are still there. I have it right now in full error and my iphones allowing me to see everything as connected and I'm posting here in the forum while my iMac cannot. Doesn't happen all the time. Not sure why it happens or what's goinng on with It. Works great and then sudden wifi failure to recognize.

IMac keeps losing ISP, internet and Server but still connected to wifi

My Imac keeps losing ISP, Internet, and Server but is still connected to the Wifi. To recnnect, I have to go into Netwrok Diagnostics - assist me. This is happening every twenty minutes or so (sometimes less). Can anyone help? I might add that we have recently moved house and never had this problem before.

Wifi problems seem to crop up a lot on here and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a 'one fix' solution.
However, sometimes any one of the following can help although, unfortunately, not always. In no particular order:
Check wifi security - if it's WEP change it to WPA or WPA2 (preferably, as it's more secure)
Change the wifi channel on the router
Create a new Network Location: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5289
Reboot the router
Also take a look at this link and the links within the article for other ideas. They mainly reference Lion, but still seem to be relevant to Mountain Lion:

Hi Turn Router off for 30 seconds Goto Settings Reset Network Settings After reset you need to enter your router wireless key. Also later check on website for a Firmware update for your router. Cheers Brian

Hi Ray, no idea what is mentioned in those other links, but...
this has worked for a few...
Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712
10.7 & 10.8…
System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.
10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
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.
Is that Interface dragged to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations.
Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
For 10.5/10.6, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...

My imac keeps losing ISP, INTERNET AND SERVER but still has WIFi

my iMac keeps losing ISP, INTERNET and SEVER but is still connected to the Wi-Fi and when I tern on the mac i have to connect it every time and it is on preferred net work its the Olney one then after I connect it works for about 20 min then stops and I got to network preferences and click on ASSIST ME - DIAGONSTICS and it shows ISP INTERNET AND SEVER ALL IN YELLOW.

Open System Preferences Network pane. In the sidebar, if you see things you do not use for networking, remove them (you can add them back later if they are ever needed). For example, if you don't use Bluetooth or FireWire for networking, remove them from the list of networking services. To do this, select the item on the list and click the minus sign at the bottom of the sidebar. You can leave Ethernet on the list.
NOTE: Bluetooth and FireWire networking is not related to their use for connecting devices.
Also, click on the gear icon at the bottom of the sidebar, and select Set Service Order. Make sure Wi-Fi (or AirPort for older Mac OS X) is at the top of the list.
Apply the change (and maybe restart your Mac as well). See if that makes any difference.

Got new ATV and all set up. It keeps loosing connection with iTunes on laptop and have tried everything suggested in set up guide. It works fine for a while then the iTunes account vanishes from 'computer' menu TV screen. Full Wifi signal on both devices

Got new ATV and all set up. It keeps loosing connection with iTunes on laptop and have tried everything suggested in set up guide. It works fine for a while then the iTunes account vanishes from 'computer' menu TV screen. Full Wifi signal on both devices so can't think what could be causing it to happen. Any suggestions please?

Sorry, I updated another thread I was a part of but didn't update my own thread.....ughhh!
I updated all of my ATV 2's and 3's to the latest firmware when it was released and have been problem free since. I do believe the major issue of not being able to connect after a period of inactivity has been corrected with the latest ATV firmware.
I can look at my network connection table using "netstat -an" in a CMD window and I do not see the massive number of connections I saw before the update.
Here is a link to the other thread I was referring to above:

Have you applied the latest firmware updates to your ATV 3's?

IPad keeps losing its internet connection since updating to OS 8.1?

Since updating to the latest OS my iPad keeps dropping its internet connection. It has to be shut down and restarted then its back on line, but a while later will drop out again. What is wrong, and what can I do to correct it?

Try freeing up some memory by clearing open apps running in the background. Most people don't know this, but if you have a ton of apps running it can cause a few to crash. Double tap the home button to bring up the bottom. Every app down below is running in the background. Hold your finger down on one till they wiggle. Hit the minus button on all of them. It's good to clear this out of stuff your done using.

MacBook Pro and iMac keep losing wireless internet connection.

Greetings all, two weeks ago I purchashed a MacBook Pro and iMac and they've worked fine, except for the internet. The wireless randomly goes out, but the airport bars remain. At first I thought it was just pages having trouble loading because of the OS (stupid I know) It's been happening more and more frequently and the only way to solve it is to turn the Airport off and then on which allows the internet to reconnect. My wireless router is connected to an HP an the router is a Dlink 1310 wireless G router. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,
It seems I am not alone. There is a very strange problem either with my brand new unibody MacBookPro 17" or the Airport Extreme I am using to connect to the Internet via a cable connected router. The router I am using is Billion 7300 and works fine, and I can even connect to the wireless access via the router and all works fine. I am using Airport Extreme to extend the access area in my house and also use a USB drive for storage attached to the AirportExtreme. The funny thing is that the first couple of weeks I had no problems with the MacBookPro going on the Internet via the Airport. At that time I had the wireless part of the Billion modem disabled so as to avoid possible interference. Suddenly, one day about a week or so ago, the MBP would connect first time to the wireless Airport and to the Internet for only about a few seconds and then no update on any of the web pages. I was suspecting first my ADSL, but that was all along OK. The signal strength to the Airport is strong, but just the connection to the Internet is no longer available. Strange thing is I have in the same room a 24" iMac and this is still connected to the Internet via the Airport with no problems. Same settings on both! I tried everything I could think off on the Airport, tweaked, changed, reset and created new connection - but without any luck. It is as if the Airport decided to just block the MBP for whatever reason. I also have the Little Snitch, which I disabled too.
I was hoping that the latest Leopard 10.5.7 would have a fix for such a behaviour, but no change.
I cannot make any conclusion as everything contradicts: if the MBP wireless has a problem, I wouldn't be able to connect to the Billion wireless; if the Airport is at fault I should not be able to connect to it with the iMac. I go to work where other two brands of wireless hot-spots I use (D-Link and Billion 7402) and I have no problems swicthing between the two. It seems only Apple's Airport is a problem for my new MBP.
It must be something in the software of the Airport or MBP ?!?!?
APPLE, PLEASE HELP, THIS IS ANNOYING.
I already spent three days trying to solve a problem that should be 'No Brainer" according to the Apple's design books. But I do have a problem that I did not know about before.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

I Have ipad with IOS8.0.2 with internet from sim card, can i use it as a wireless router and how if it possible?

Hi Mostafa sanad,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you may want to use your iPad as a personal hotspot. Please read over the attached article for information on the process.
iOS: Understanding Personal Hotspot
Have a great day,
Joe
