I receive a "failed to connect" message even though I am connected to the wireless network. What's wrong?

I'm not even sure it's a problem with Firefox. Every time I attempt to connect to the internet, I receive a "failed to connect" error message. I've checked my network connection and it's connected, but I can't get any pages to load. I do not have a firewall installed, and I've run out of ideas on how to fix it.

Internet connection slower even though TC is not part of wireless network!

How can this be? I connected TC to my iMac by ethernet cable to do the initial backup of my hard drive. The backup has been complete now for a number of days. What really mystifies me is the slower connection speed (I have cable) even when TC is NOT backing up, i.e., even between the hourly backups when TC isn't running.
I notice the slower speeds mostly via Safari. There is now a noticeable lag time between when I click on a URL and when the page loads. It's intermittent, but sometimes, it's so bad,mI havevto stop the loading of the page and try reloading the page. Usually, this pushes it through.
I never had this problem prior to connecting TC to my iMac.
I also have the most current firmware installed for TC, Airport Utility, etc.
Can anyone explain this phenomenon? I was planning to set up a dual network with TC and now I'm not so enthusiastic.
PS Have been reading through the threads here and came across one that reported a problem with TC and their 2.4 GHz phone? Could this be part of my problem? Even though TC isn't connected to my wireless network?
An additional question: isn't TC a 5 GHz device? Why would a 2.4 GHz device interfere with the 5 GHz TC?

The default radio mode for the TC is 802.11 n operating in the 2.4 GHz mode, but if one has a 5 GHz iMac, one would b able to choose the 5v GHz option?
You would choose the radio mode, using the AirPort Utility, to change to the appropriate 5 GHz radio band to meet your wireless network requirements. If your iMac is "n" enabled, it should be able to both discover the TC's 5 GHz network, but also connect to it.
Also, regarding a previous post on this thread, have you personally used the OpenDNS's DNS servers? Did it make a significant difference? How were the ads?
Yes, I am currently using this service with several of my computers, both Macs and PCs. In most cases I get better performance (as far as locating and accessing web pages) and better stability than when using my ISP's DNS servers. You may find a similar experience. As far as ads, the only "ads" I get is when I either type in an incorrect URL or the site does not exist. You would then get a default message page with a OpenDNS banner.

When I try to update Elements 9 I get an error message despite the fact that the update seems to download completely. Why?

Windows 7. Thanks, but why then do I get a downloading frame that seems
to indicate that it IS updating?

When people call, they got a busy tone even though i do not use the phone. Whats wrong

Question: when people call, they got a busy tone even though I do not use the phone. Whats wrong?

Hey rolffsweden,
You might have Do Not Disturb turned on - I would check that first:
To enable/disable, tap Settings > Do Not Disturb. When Do Not Disturb is on, a "moon" icon will appear in the status bar.
or
You can enable/disable Do Not Disturb in Control Center.

I got the message "Your handheld has been registered with the wireless network" from blackberry?

So I got my curve 9360 about 3 months ago and last night I got a message from blackberry saying "Your handheld has been registered with the wireless network". I don't have a data plan but after I got this message I was able to go on the internet without wifi.. I thought it was extremely weird and I was scared my carrier, Rogers, will charge me so I turned my data off. I asked my dad today and he said I could use it and we won't pay if they charge me.. I'm still really worried that I'll get a ridicous bill at the end of the month. So why did I randomly get data and will it charge me? What should I do?

I've heard through the Rogers support forums that Rogers is offering a free data trial to its users. I haven't seen anything official yet, but I've heard that on atleast two occasions so far.
For that reason, I would go ahead and enjoy your free data while it lasts. If you're really worried about it, call Rogers to confirm it. Just remember, you never signed a data plan agreement with them so they can't charge you for it.
I hope that helps you.

I have a DVD that still appears in the finder even though it is not in the computer. What do I do?

I have a DVD that still appears in the finder, under "places", with the "burn" icon next to it, even though the DVD is no longer in the computer's reader. How did that happen and what do I do? Thanks!

Humph... I know I have had these experience myself, but don't remember how I solved it.
What happens if you mark it, and then right-click on the blank gray area (under "places" for example)? Do you then get the "remove from sidebar" option?

Many of my iTunes playlist songs are being omitted even though they have been played many times. What's wrong?

I've been using this playlist as background in my home for quite some time & before I order anymore tunes I need to know what I need to do to get all my songs playing again.

Are the songs still in the library, or on the hard drive? Are they checked?

USB devices deactivated message, even though none connected

I'm getting the infamous warning message, that One or more USB devices are drawing too much power and the device/s is/are being deactivated, etc. etc.
Even though I have no USB devices connected.
Anyone else have this problem?
I have a 2007 Core 2 Duo 2.16, just updated to 10.6.8.
To see if it was a hardware problem I installed Windows 7 Ultimate as the only operating system and I didn't get any messages re. USB problems.
So I wiped the HD and installed Snow Leopard. Immediately started getting the USB messages, one after the other on screen.
I've also switched off Bluetooth and the iSight, in case that might help re. power being used by USB.
Any way to solve this, without swapping logic boards?
Could I just continue like this, and use no USB devices? If so, can I turn off the warning messages so they don't appear every 20 seconds?
Probable hardware problem? Or software?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Suspiciously similar situation here. I have a Macbook Pro Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013 with Mavericks. I (successfully) installed Windows 7 on Parallels Desktop few days ago and now I am constantly getting this "USB Devices Disabled..." message, even though nothing is plugged into the USB ports. At some point both of my ports were not working but I reset PRAM and SMC and now it is just the right side port that is not working. It does, however, power some devices like external discs. When an external disc is plugged into the right USB port, the "USB Devices Disabled..." message, once closed, does not come up again until the moment the disc is disconnected (not valid for the left port, though).
Any help would be much appreciated.

'Load Paper' error message even when paper is loaded in the front load tray

Load Paper Error message -
Printer type: HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless All-in-One Printer
(possibly other HP printers as well)
This 'How-To' article will help you solve a 'Load Paper' error message even though there is paper in the front load tray. You can read this helpful article at http://mikeyates.com/wordpress/?cat=187
This could also help other HP printers with no easy access to the drop down type rollers located inside the printer.
Would appreciate any feedback if this worked for you or not.
Thanks
Mike

This is what I found: printer eventually wants to see color ink after running months without. Steps I followed were: remove ink cartridges. Remove printer head (raise handle at left) and clean (slosh bottom) in hot water, (did it 3 times) and wipe clean. Replace with new/full color ink cartridges and black if it's got ink still. Run clean printer head program from panel continuously until you start seeing good solid ink flowing on test paper, may even run alignment program at this point. Turn off printer, if you get Load paper error, hit OK, allow alignment to run, and if heads have been previously cleaned satisfactorily (all colors show up), alignment will show success, and the next time you start printer, no more load paper error. Point being, the printer eventually wants to see or will look for color ink and in particular, cyan necessary for the alignment page, and without this the program will aparently project a load paper error and alignment failure. (which you can get aroung by keep hitting OK and cancelling the alignment)! This totally cured by problem of load paper and alignment failure. Good luck and be patient, it may take some time to effective clean, I went through all color ink and will have to purchase more !

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, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login 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, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

When i send an imessage to another person with imessage, my husband also receives the message, even though it was not sent to him. We have always been on the same itunes account and not had this problem, however, when i added the ipad, this started.

When I send an imessage on my ipad to someone, my husband also gets the message, even though he was not selected as a receipient. This just started when I got my ipad and sent a message for the first time. As a side note, my daughter received an itouch and both my husband and i were getting all messages she sent, no matter which one of us they were sent to. I turned her imessage off. We have all of our devices under the same itunes account so that we can share all music and apps. How can we get around this? I do not want him receiving all imessages that I send, this will get very annoying to him.

You can have a separate AppleID only for iMessage and keep using the other one for iTunes.
Just change the AppleID used for iMessage in Settings > Messages > Receive At
