I'm having problems with my internet connection after installing OS X Lion. Is this a known problem or just a local problem?

I'm having problems with my internet connection after installing OS X Lion. Is this a known problem or just a local problem?
After +/- 10 to 15min my connection is gone.
Does anyone have a sollution?

Lots of people are having the same problem, you're not the only one, belieeeeve me.
Just Googling the problem gets you tons of people complaining about the same thing, SOMETHING is up with Lion what wasn't happening with Snow Leopard. i just bought a new Imac and it CAME with Lion, so i started experiencing this internet dropout immediately.
It's been going on for the most of a year it looks like (at least by the dates from the threads i've been reading)
So your best bet is to fiddle with the System Preferences and read what other people have used to make theirs work. i'm doing that myself right now. I already posted a similar thread last night trying to figure out why my connection kept on dropping, i got a reply which linked me to a site. i followed the instructions there, so far so good, but i'm just being cautiously optimistic.
i'm gonna call Apple today and see if they've found anything, though seeing as this is a problem right out of the box there may not be an immediate solution. Good luck hunting for a solution :3

Problems with your internet connection after upgrading to iOS 7.1.2

After upgrading to iOS 7.1.2 on my iPad Retina display does not connect to the internet more. Recognizes the Wi-Fi network but can not connect to the internet. The same thing happened to my wife's iPhone 5s, while my had no problems ...

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.

Organizer elements 11. Problem with your internet connection

I am trying to access facebook and Flickr via the Organizer with elements 11. I went to preferences and cleared the oline services, when I try to refresh the partner services I am greeted with the error " there is a problem with your internet connection, check your firewall settings" .
Windows 8, updated. I tried disabling the firewall. I have also tried making sure permissions are set up to allow all adobe products access through the frewall when it is enabled. No other network managment services or virus scanners installed. just default 64bit windows 8.
I am currently left with no partner services; facebook, flicker, picasa, etc.... I could reinstall organizer i guess to get the default services back...
I found discussions on the web but none with a solution. http://forums.adobe.com/message/4035670
Any help would be great

I apologize for the delay. An update was released shortly after I posted the question that resolved the issue. Thank you for your assistance though. As soon as I read your advice I went to my laptop to follow your instructions. Upon opening photoshop I was prompted with an adobe update message. After the update the issue was resolved. Again, sorry for not updating the situation.

Problem with my internet connection with Mail and others

Hi
I seem to have a problem with my internet connection that is through Ethernet. I have just downloaded the update to iLife 9 and the down load speed went from zero to 1.1BB/s but most of the time it downloads at speeds around 8KB/s also Mail some times returns mail sent but there seems to be no problem sending out only that things go faster out than in. My internet speed from my ISP is 500KB/s so as you can see I was at first happy that I was getting speeds in of 1.1MB/s. I have done a diagnostic test through network also fully run Norton and finally run utilities with no problems showing. My ISP is willing to come and have a look at my internet but I some how think it's my computer, any ideas?
Thanks

The first thing I would do is completely disable Norton AntiVirus; there are no viruses for Mac OS X, so it can't protect you from something that doesn't exist. It can, however, severely slow down your system. Do that and then restart Mail and see if the problem continues.
You should also try creating a new User account and test Mail there to see if you experience the same problem; if so, then the issue is systemwide. If not, it's something specific to your regular user account.
As for your download speed, it's not 1.1MB/s; it's 1.1Mb/s. Upload speed is slower than download speed for both Cable and DSL service. I doubt the problem is your modem/router, but you should try shutting down your Mac and the modem for a few minutes. If your modem/router has a reset button, use it, then restart it and your Mac and see if the problem continues.

When I go to watch a show or movie that I purchased, it will not load. The "loading" screen comes up but it just sits there. There is no problem with my internet connection.

Problem with my internet connection and modem

hello!
i have a very big problem with my internet connection a 56k. i use internet with my internal apple modem (i have an ibook g4). sometimes it works well but sometimes, after being connected, my ibook freezes and i have a black window wich says: "you need to restart your computer".
i do it, and when i want to connect again, i have a new message wich says " this port of communication does'nt exist. please check your setup and do it again" (in french) i check my preferences in the "preferences" and the modem doesn't appear!! see it my photos here (in french sorry):
http://h1.ripway.com/diesel/pdf.pdf
in order to use internet normally, i'm obliged to re-install tiger again and again!! i'm very hungry about this problem because since i'have my connection, i can"t use it as i want!
please help me!

Hi David,
What you've described is a kernel panic. Since reinstalling the OS only alleviates the issue temporarily it's possible that your modem is failing.

Problem with Rescue and Recovery after installing Norton Internet Security 2010

Hi all.
It's my first time in this forum.
I have a problem, with Rescue and Recovery, after installing Norton Internet Security 2010 on my T43.
The message I get it:
"Rescue and Recovery is unable to back up the file 'C:\Documents and settings\all Users\Application Data\ Norton\ 00000082\00000109\000003c1\cltMLS1.bat' Because the file is either corrupted or being used by another application. Please close any application that could be using the file.
I tried to close the Norton but I couldn't find how.
Tanks
Doron71

Hi and welcome to the forum,
the reason for this situation is, that the antivir files are protected from being modified.
This is the reason, why this file cannot be backed up. I assume, that you would get much more such messages, as there are surelly multiple files files, that are protected like this.
So the solution is to block folders from being archived. Please start RnR application and in the configuration set this folder as the excluded one.
This will skip the backup of this file and will fix your situation.
Please let me know, if you have covered this.
Cheers

I have problems with my wifi connection after update the ios6 any advice

Ask your question in an iPAD forum.
This is the OS X Mountain Lion forum.

I have been having issues with my computer lagging after installing lion.

I have been having issues with my computer lagging after installing lion. Can anyone please help me get the issue resolved? I need it in easy to follow language.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I am still having problems with wi fi connectivity after I upgraded my computer to os x 10.9.4.

I updated my laptop to 10.9.4, and now my laptop won't continually stay connected to the internet. I will get it to open a page initially, then when I try another page, the browser acts like it's going to load a page, but then just hangs there. When it does connect, it is fast, but more often then not as I'm trying to connect to different websites the page doesn't load at all. I've restarted the router, I've restarted the modem, I've deleted and re-added my network, I've restarted my computer, and I tried to restart in 'safe-mode'.
I had the same problem after the last update, but figured it was the same issue everyone else was having of the computer not reconnecting after sleep. I found a fix, and it seemed to help (although the problem never completely went away), but I can no longer find that solution.
My internet provider stated that all was good on their end, and indeed, I have no problems using wi-fi on my iphone. But, my computer just doesn't want to stay connected enough to surf various sites on the internet.
HELP!!

Problems with wi-fi connection after waking up from sleep

Hey,
I have MacBook Pro 13 (early 2011), MacOsX 10.7.2.
I've got a problem - when I wake up after sleep my internet connection doesn't work for half a minute, may be more. I do diagnostics and it says that connection is ok, but still don't work. I've tried to do something with energy saving settings, but i didn't success.
What is important: I didn't have such a problem previously. I think it appeared after one of software updates. I can even remember, there was an updated with description, saying that t fixes the problem of internet connections after Mac wakes up after sleep...
How can I solve this problem?

I have the same exact problem and it is caused by the latest ETI or whatever update it is. - the one that required restart of my computer. For me it takes multiple times to turn wifi on and off on my macbook pro before the internet starts working. Someone please help. Apparently reinstalling Mac Os X 10.7.2. should help but I'm not sure if I want to drop my mbp at apple store for 2 days yet again.

Intermittent internet connectivity after installing lion

I installed lion on my macbook pro a week ago and my internet connectivity was working fine up until now. At this point when I start up safari, it will connect and work for about 3 - 5 minutes and lose connectivity. I have two other laptops (windows os) and they do not have a problem with holding their connection to my router. Any advice in the basic terms would be greatly appreciated. Oh......my mac says that it is connected but its not.
Jimmy

I did search and couldn't find the answer but in fact I got a tip, and finally found the solution.
My problem is with AVAST, actually the Webshield.
So the solution has been to stop the Webshield (which also stops the Mailshield) but still keeping Avast running with the Fileshield.
Not bud to keep this discussion, people can find the solution in the 2nd answer and no need to spend hours looking through hundresds of posts.

Lost internet connection after installing BT dongle (MS-6967)

I have tried installing the MSI Bluetooth USB dongle (MS-6967) drivers twice. I tried the 1.3.1 version and the 1.4.2 version drivers. The Bluetooth dongle itself works fine, but both times I lost my internet connection after installation. After this I have to remove the drivers and repair my installation with the Windows CD, but then windows and all of my programs also need to be updated again since my original Windows CD is a first release version.
The weird thing is that I can connect to other local computers and I can even ping external computers, but browsing websites (on IP address), looking up domain names and retrieving mail are no longer possible. I have no firewall software installed.
Does anyone konw how to fix this?

Am I really the only one with this problem? Well I have seen someone else on another forum ...
Maybe someone knows how to reinstall just the TCP/IP stack?
I'm using a notebook with buil-in network card. It runs W2K dutch version SP4 and things worked before when I was using SP1. Somehow it doesn;t work now anymore. Before I start reinstalling everyting again, I just want to check once more if anyone has some tips for recovering.

I'm having problems with my internet connection after installing OS X Lion. Is this a known problem or just a local problem?
