I-Tunes won't open unless I'm connected to the internet

I am a relatively new user to I-Tunes; when I try to open I-Tunes to play a CD or other files in my library, I-Tunes won't open unless I am connected to the Internet. Is this normal?

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

i updated my ipod the other day and since i have been unable to open any apps that connect to the internet, its says "operation could not be completed. invalid argument". anybody help please?

Have yu tried the standard fixes:
- Reset the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Restore the iPod via iTunes, First from backup and if problems persist, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

No updates unless clients are connected to the Internet.

I'm fairly new to this, so please forgive me if my terminology is off. I've just come into a new organization and don't really know much about how everything is laid out yet (first week here). The other IT guys throughout the organization have
been attempting to set up WSUS at three separate locations. Their first plan was to set up a central WSUS at a single location and have the updates be pushed out over the VPN. This did not work for them, so they decided to set up a WSUS server at each location.
To make a long story short, one location is working without issues, but at another location's workstations are not updating via WSUS unless they are connected to the Internet. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

WSUS can be implemented a number of ways. One of the methods, is to use WSUS only for the approvals but update files are downloaded from microsoftupdate.com.
Your scenario sounds a little like that.
you should check the windowsupdate.log of a few client machines, which should reveal a lot about what's happening.
You should also check the configuration on each of the WSUS servers, to determine the upstream/downstream/autonomous/replica status of each WSUS, and, each will have a configuration setting for "where to store update files" (store updates locally).

Time capsule won`t allow multiple devices to connect to the internet

I`ve got a 2TB time capsule that worked fine.
I moved to this condo where the is already a wired internet service available to each apartment. The access is made through a login and password whenever You open you browser, if connected directly on the WAN cable. No multiple logs are allowed.
When I used my Time Capsule to create a wi-fi network and serve as a router I could access the internet on my MacBook over the wi-fi just created. No problem at all. But whenever I try to log other devices (iphone, apple tv) it asks for my ap login and password, and of course it states that there`s already an active connection to that user and won`t grant me access.
I`ve then borrowed a tp-lynk router from a friend of mine, created a wi-fi network (without the time capsule on it), it asked for the log in and all but then everything worked fine and I could use all my devices through this network.
Back to the time capsule, I`ve tried different settings. First one was bridge mode, but it didn`t work. Tried DHCP & NAT but had the double NAT issue.
Also I`ve tried this solution https://www.autoitconsulting.com/site/networking/configuring-an-airport-extreme- for-nat-only-mode/
but it would`t work either.
My guess is that somehow Time Capsule is attributing different IP addresses to each device that enters the Wi-Fi network, and that`s the reason I can`t access the net, since the service provider won`t allow more than one connection. On the other hand TP-Lynk was able to connect to the internet service through one IP address and then connect to other devices.
Any idea on how to solve this issue?

Tried DHCP & NAT but had the double NAT issue.
If you got the TC working and had double NAT .. sorry but the TP-Link is exactly the same.. you cannot distribute a single IP without double NAT.. the TC tells you it is a problem.. the TP-Link doesn't.. otherwise there is no difference.
But it is important the double NAT is setup right.. ie you must use different ranges.. please tell us the IP you get from a directly connected computer..
If it is 10.x.x.x then you should move the TC to 192.168. rather than default IP of 10.0.1.1 .. the TP-Link already will use 192.168.x.x. which might also explain why it works better.

HP Pavillion - Web Pages Won't Load but I'm Connected to the Internet

I was on the internet and then the page seemed to lock up. I closed the browser and reopened it and now I cannot get any web pages to load at all either in I.E. or Firefox. It just says Waiting for "website" and that is it. My other laptop connects to the internet fine using the same modem/router so it is a computer issue. Not sure how it goes from working one minute to not the next. It is a HP Pavillion G7-2270. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hello , Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand your notebook shows it is connected but you are unable to browse. Can you tell me which version of Windows you are using? To see which version of Windows you are using click here: Which Windows operating system am I running? Here are some popular fixes for networking issues: Powercycle the network:
1. Shut down your notebook.
2. Unplug the power to your router.
3. Unplug the power to your modem.
4. Wait at least 45 seconds.
5. Plug in the modem, and wait for it to come back online.
6. Plug in the router, and wait for it to come back online.
7. Turn on your notebook, and test your connection.
Reset the TCP/IP settings on your PC:
1. Go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
2. Right click on the command prompt icon and chose Run as administrator.
3. In the window that opens type "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" without quotes, and press enter.
4. Restart your PC and test.
It may also help to reset the winsock catalogue:
1. Go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
2. Right click on the command prompt icon and chose Run as administrator.
3. In the window that opens type "netsh winsock reset" without quotes, and press enter.
4. Restart your PC and test. If it seems to be connected but won't browse, flush the DNS:1. Go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
2. Right click on the command prompt icon and chose Run as administrator.
3. In the window that opens type "ipconfig /flushdns" without quotes, and press enter.
4. Restart your PC and test.
Reinstall the network adapter drivers:
1. Download the drivers from here but do not run them yet.
2. Go to your start screen/menu and type Device Manager.
3. Expand Network adapters.
4. Right click on the wireless/ethernet adapter and choose Uninstall.
5. Run the downloaded drivers from step 1.
6. Restart your PC and test.
If those three steps do not resolve the issue, try this document published by Microsoft for networking issues: Wired and wireless network problems. You can change the operating system with the dropdown in the upper-right corner of the document. Let me know if that helps!

WHy won't my new Airport Extreme connect to the Internet?

I can connect no problem using direct LAN cable, but when I try setting up the AirPort, it doesn't work. Green light is on and everything, just fails to connect to the Internet. Very frustrating. My ethernet uses PPPoE, so I tried setting that up in the AirPort, but it won't work then either......Network Diagnostics keeps getting me to the "Internet failed" stage if I try using DHCP, or only to "Network Settings failed" if I try using PPPoE (even though my direct LAN cable works fine on the same settings! Grrrrrr!) Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Stress Test:
Thanks very much for the reply. I've actually sorted out the problem since posting - just a few minutes ago. I reset the AirPort and reconfigured everything in manual mode with the ethernet cord from my computer connected to the AirPort. I then disconnected the ethernet cord, rebooted the modem and AirPort, did a bit more troubleshooting and suddenly I was connected to the Internet! Still not sure exactly what I did that fixed the problem, but everything is working ok now.
Regards,
John

I tunes will not open unless ipod is connected

I have downloaded and totally remove itune 3-4 times. It will not open unless the ipod is connected. I keep getting a message that says :the itunes folder can not be found or created. The default folder is located in "my music". what do i have to do to get it to work????????????????

Do you see an error message when this happens?
If your computer has one of the LSPs mentioned in the article below, you may have to do a winsock reset or remove conflicting software.

Why won't my sweet new MacBook connect to the internet?

Newbie here, and I'm sure y'all are sick of this question.
Opened up new 13" MacBook last night, and it won't connect to our wireless (through Comcast cable modem) internet. We have a Linksys router (BEFW11S4) that two other pc's are connected too, and they are connecting fine. Also, our Wii is connecting fine as well to the internet.
When I was setting up the new Mac last night, it does show 'linksys' as available, but it won't connect. We reset the router, and still nothing.
Any advice so I can stop crying?

Use System Preferences: Network: Show Network Port Configurations, there should be a setting where you can enable and disable individual Network Ports. Make sure that all the ports are disabled, except for Airport, the MacBook might be trying to connect to Ethernet via another port and not using Airport, even though it appears to be connected to linksys.
OS X 10.5 Leopard is organized a little different from OS X 10.4 Tiger, but you should be able to find the place in that System Preferences screen where you can display and change the Network Port Configurations.
You might possibly need to check the wireless router configuration to see how many IP addresses it can assign or if there are some other connection restrictions enabled on the router, for more info see the User Guide

My iPad 1 says it's connected to wifi but safari says can't open page cause not connected to the internet

Does anyone know why this is I've tried resetting but doesn't help?

Are you on a home or open network? Sometimes when you're in a hotel, for example, you may be 'on' the net but not allowed to access it until you agree to their terms.

IPad 2 won't restore from backup or connect to the internet

Hi,
I'm having some trouble with a 2-month old iPad 2. The first of which was a sudden failure to connect to the internet on wifi, despite being able to connect to the network. Have searched extensively, I tried all the solutions I could: airplane mode on and off, forget the network and reconnect, auto-brightness off, renew the DHCP lease, reset network settings, public DNS information - everything, and nothing worked. The only thing I can't do reset the router as I'm on a public network and don't have physical access to it. When I connect to the network, after about 5 minutes I get details of the IP address, DNS server and all that stuff. But I can't connect to the internet or even to the network's sign-in page.
So I thought there was nothing else for it but to do a restore. What a mistake to make. For one thing, restoring to factory settings has done nothing for my wifi problem. And now iTunes is unable to restore my iPad from the last backup. It throws up an error message about not having enough hard drive space (I started off with about 7.8Gb free - and I had a lot less than that when I restored the iPad from my last iPad 1 backup when it was new). And when I quit iTunes, I have 0kb free on my hard drive. Where has all the space gone?
So I suppose I have 3 questions:
Where did my 7Gb of hard drive space go and how can I get it back?
How do I restore my iPad so that I haven't lost all of my notes, emails, calendar events and the like?
How do I make my iPad connect to the internet again?
I know where iTunes keeps its mobile backups on my hard drive, but I'm loathe to go in and start deleting stuff, because I would like to retrieve all the stuff I put on my iPad in 2 months of use.
Any advice on any/all of the issues above would be greatly appreciated as my own efforts have managed to kill my iPad and do some very strange things to my laptop.
Thanks in advance,
Gus

Have you installed any sort of anti virus or firewall software? Something that could be blocking the connection?
Do you have a different cable to try?

SSRS 2008 r2 - the Report Manager won't load unless "/Reports" is added to the DNS entry in address bar

Need some direction, please.
We are moving off SSRS 2005 to a new server with SSRS 2008R2. The old installation (2005) a DNS entry was created "reports" with the ip address and port number simple. In the Configuration manager the Report Manager Virtual Directory
is "Reports". Website is Default web site. Typing "reports" into the address bar opens up report manager. When this is done the address shows as reports/reports/pages/folder etc.
The new installation is configured the same(?). DNS entry "reports2" with new ip address and port number. In the Configuration manager the Report manager URL virtual directory is "Reports" URLs: =
http://servername:port/Reports. The issue is when typing "Reports2" into the address bar the report manager won't open unless "reports" is added to the dns name i.e. http://reports2/reports
is entered.
This thread took me to more like kind thread than my searches. Went into IIS in the default web site I added an htm file with a redirect. Then started it, it works. Maybe due to my inexperience but seems counter intuitive as I thought Reporting Services did
away with any reliance on IIS.

Hi Urquhart,
According to your description, if you type "Reports2" in the browser, then you want to redirect to the report manager homepage in SSRS 2008 R2, right?
In Reporting Services 2008 R2, it uses HTTP.SYS for HTTP access and it’s independent of Internet Information Server(IIS). The role for HTTP.sys in Reporting Services is that, HTTP.sys receive the user's request, and then send it to report server. Report
Server handle the request(e.g. authenticate the users), and then use HTTP.sys the send HTTP responses again. In a word, HTTP.sys is just a driver, which allow us to communicate the clients(browser) with Report Server without Microsoft Internet Information
Server(IIS).
So, since HTTP.SYS doesn’t provide URL redirection function, we are not able to redirect "Reports2" to report manager homepage by default. If we want to use redirect function, we should add a .html file in IIS to redirect the user to the report
manager.

After upgrade to mavericks: time machine keeps asking for my back up disk and won't open unless i plug in the disk. any solutions?

after upgrade to mavericks: time machine keeps asking for my back up disk and won't open unless i plug in the disk. any solutions?
before the upgrade, i could open time machine without the need for having the back up disk plugged in.

Ok. I got it to work, sort of....
As I mentioned before I tried the "disk password" and the "Time capsule Password" options to see if I can start the back up again or start a new backup. Neither worked. So I tried the firmware down grade, but like you said that did not work. I then decided to try the "Account password" option and I have never used this option before becasue it states that if there is data on the drive it would not be acessable after creating an account. Since I wiped out the disk that was nno problem. When I created the new account and choose the drive it asked for the user name and password. I entered the info for the new account I just created(FYI this has nothing to do with your login username and password), bingo! It worked!
Now I have two partitions on the TC disk. The old one and now the new account. I am guessing this is to be used if I have multiple computers, which I don't.
I any case, I am going to wipe out everything again and try again to do a backup the way I had it before.
