Sounds like a bogus pop up. In any case power down your Mac, your modem, your router. Then power back up in 1 minute sequence; modem, router, Mac.

  • I installed 7.1.2 update for my iphone5 and I have problems.   I can no longer access the internet on my phone.  My wifi is fine, and I've noticed that there is no longer any indication of "LTE" on my phone.

    Against my better judgement, I installed update 7.1.2 on my iphone5, and can no longer access the intenet.  I've dis some searching for a solution, but nothing works.  What has this happened?  And how can I fix it?

    LTE indicates cellular. Tap Settings > Cellular then switch Cellular Data ON.
    If your Wi-Fi is working, then you should be able to access the internet.
    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.

  • After upgrading to the latest version of firefox. I can no longer access the internet and all traces of Mozilla Firefox are gone from my computer. I have no access to the internet, my home page or my e mails. What can be done??

    I have been using firefox for years. I downloaded the latest version and at the conclusion of the down load I was refussed access to the internet. Something about Proxy???? I checked my firewalls and security and they said that mozilla was allowed but everytime I attempt to gain access I am refused. I cant access the internet and I cant download another program to access the internet. I uninstalled Firefox and attempted to reinstall but after uninstalling Firefox I have no means to reinstall because there are no traces of it on my computer and I no longer have access to the internet. What do I do? I cant access my e mails, stored messages, favorites etc etc.

    No. After I select "Choose" the dialog box expands to provide only three choices. This is a new bug. I have only seen it in the past week or so, but it is maddening. I have observed that, while the Mozilla Foundation focuses on trivialities like which search engine should be the default, the Firefox application becomes buggier and buggier. Most of my family has switched to Chrome, and I will be following shortly. Firefox used to be a great program. Not any more. Getting assistance with a problem has also become very difficult.

  • When I Disable NAT on my WRT160N I can no longer access the Internet

    Hello,
    I have had my WRT160N configured and working great for months now.  I had some non-related cable problems and the cable guy split my cable and now I have a specific modem just for the internet.  I can connect to the internet directly and wirelessly great!  However, I went into my XBox 360 to play some Halo 3 and it yelled at me that I should Disable the NAT.  I thought this was odd since my WRT160N is still the same piece of hardware and I believe that is where I disabled the NAT months ago and that it should Still have that same setting.  Apparently not?  So I connected to it and sure enough it was Enabled.  I disabled it and now I can no longer connect directly or wirelessly to the internet.  Of course, if I set it back to Enabled NAT then I can get to the internet again.  I need to turn off NAT.
    Not sure what to do here.   Can it be on the cable modem (Time Warner Cable) where the problem resides?  Would IT have a configurable setting for NAT?
    Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

  • I got an error message that said my browser had been hijacked and was given a random number to call. The person told me my browser was hijacked and wanted to help me fix it. Sounds like spam to me, how do i fix it?

    He said my browser was hijacked and he wanted to remote into my machine to fix it.  Sounds like spam to me!  How do I protect my

    Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu, close Safari, and then launch it with the Shift key held down. If that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.

  • ITunes (7.7.1) Can No Longer Access the Internet

    I have a WiFi network set-up with Airport Extreme. Everything works fine Internet-wise on my Macbook Pro. I also have no trouble streaming music from iTunes to my stereo via my Airport Express.
    However, just upgraded to iTunes 7.7.1, and now iTunes acts as if I'm not connected to the Internet, ie, no Podcast updates, no access to the iTunes store.
    Any ideas?

    I had the same problem with fireworks today. Would not load some php pages...or would not let me drill down from the splash page into a secure area I tried the same thing using Safari. Was able to access, no problem. I have exhausted all possibilities with trying to get itunes working on the mac. The only thing I can think of is that perhaps the isp provider applied some obscure security setting or changed the dns somewhere...and this just affects macs??? Unless the problem is as widespread on pc's as well?? iTunes works on my pc at home but not on the mac. I am going to try a direct connection from cable to the mac, cicumventing both the router and wireless and see what happens.

  • I downloaded Yosemite last night but when I tried to update iPhoto, I got an error message stating that that app and several others couldn't be updated because they weren't paid for by the user id entered. I'm the only one who uses this computer.

    I downloaded Yosemite last night and tried to look at my photos in iPhoto and noticed that needed updating. When I tried to update as requested, I got an error message stating that the app (and several others including Pages and Numbers) couldn't be updated because they weren't purchased by the user ID I had entered. I'm the only user of the computer and now I can't find my photos anywhere! Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Some folks have solved this issue by dragging the apps to an external disk, then disconnecting it, and then are able to download. Apparently it can arise if you upgraded from an OS the than Mavericks.
    Failing that: Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window. They're the only ones who can sort out account issues.

    Hello srpeters5,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Wi-Fi on your iPhone.  You have taken some really good steps to troubleshoot this issue already.  I found an article that includes a few additional steps you can try.  You can skip any steps you have already taken.

  • HT5538 Every time I try to use apple ID for face time I got an error message "the username or password was incorrect" although they are right and I use them in App Store and I cloud even after resetting my password

    Every time I try to use apple ID for face time I got an error message "the username or password was incorrect" although they are right and I use them in App Store and I cloud even after resetting my password, the problem happens also with iMessage . Please help

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,
    Melissa

  • I just got my replacement ipad last night. when i got home and tried the applications, there is no sound. but the videos do have sounds.

    i just got my replacement ipad last night. when i got home and tried the applications, there is no sound. but the videos do have sounds. i already checked the settings. i cannot find what's causing it. please help.

    You may have already checked the settings, but it still sounds like you have system sounds muted.
    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • I had just put the finishing touches on my 36 minute documentatary when I got an error message that the external 1TB HD I was using to store the project had been ejected improperly (must have shaken a cord).  The result is that the project would not load

    I had just put the finishing touches on my 36 minute documentatary when I got an error message that the external 1TB HD I was using to store the project had been ejected improperly (must have shaken a cord).  The result is that the project would not load in the edit Projects window.  I can see the file in the finder window and it will launch iMovie but the file itself will not load in the projects window.
    I have contacted apple support and they tried to do a few things... to no available.
    With my limited knowledge of file structures I assume that the header file must be corrupt.
    Is there a 3rd party utility that can decompile and fix the file structure so it will load properly.  I've been working on this project since june and would hate to have to redo the whole thing again.

  • I downloaded the latest Firefox security update and my computer will no longer access the internet in any fashion, despite the fact that I'm still connected to the internet. Other browsers no longer work either.

    Immediately after I downloaded the latest firefox security update my computer will no longer access the internet. I still have a fine wireless connection but Firefox, Internet Explorer, Itunes, and every other program will no longer access the internet, saying there is a connection error. I even tried restoring my system to a previous date but it said that a security program was preventing it from doing so.

    What's the security program called? Is it '''Win 7 Security''' by any chance? There's a rogue AV app that will prevent internet access by that name. It comes in many different flavours, but it's basically the same product with different names depending on the operating system its aimed at. See screenshot.
    Do you have another computer you can use to download Malwarebytes? Or can you get a friend to download it for you and copy it to a USB drive? Download from here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
    You can use the USB drive to transfer the program to your own PC and then install it.

  • Why can one mac access the internet and not the other?

    Hi I have just installed a 2nd generation Airport Express base station. I have setup a network and I can connect to it to access the web. Here's the rub, only my Macbook Pro can connect. My Macbook Air cannot connect? A weird error message says (translated from Swedish): Airport has the selfapplied/selfselected IP adress 169.254.67.130 and will not be able to connect to the internet.
    Why can one mac access the internet and not the other? Is there something simple that I can do to get more macs to be able to use my Airport Express to access the internet?
    Tech details:
    Airport Express 2nd generation (just purchased) model 1392
    Macbook Pro running 10.8.2
    MacBook Air running 10.6.8

    It seems the Airbook assigns a dummy IP address so somehow it doesn't reach and receive an IP from the Express. I deleted the previous Express setting restarted the Air connected again, restarted the modem, restarted the Express nothing....
    I spoke to the internet provider and the cable modem does not require any username or pw. from the modem to the cable it's one public ip, pure internet is flowing from the modem to the Express but the express doesn't seem to assign any IP address apart from the one assigned to the Macbook Pro.
    Do you need a screendump of the settings on the functioning Mac or the faulty one? What settings are you interested in i.e. which tab should it shot?

  • HT1918 How can I change my rescue email. I am trying to change my email for my Apple account because I can no longer access the email on the account. My only email I use is my rescue email and it will not allow me to change my Apple ID email to my rescue

    How can I change my rescue email or get rid of it? I need to change my email under my apple ID to the email that is my rescue email. It won't allow me to have the same email. I only have one email address and can no longer access the email address under my apple ID

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Once you have created a rescue address, you cannot delete it, nor can you change it to the same address as used by your ID. There are numerous providers you can get additional email addresses from, such as Hotmail, Yahoo, Google etc etc.

  • MacBook Pro will no longer access the internet

    We have two macs:  A MacBook Pro (2.53 GHz Intel Core Due) and a MacBook (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo).  Both are running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    Problem:  the MacBook Pro will no longer connect to the internet.  Network Diagnostics thinks that it is connected.  I can use Network Utilitities to ping a site.  But Apple Mail, iCal, Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Skype, Software Update, etc., cannot access the internet.
    The MacBook Pro is set up with a single user account.
    Our internet is provided through a mobile phone provider.  If I set up our smart phone to serve as a wireless hotspot, the MacBook, iPod Touch, iPad will all connect.  The MacBook Pro will not.  If I put the SIM card in a USB modem and connect the modem to the MacBook Pro, the modem software will connect to the internet.  If I turn on Internet Sharing on the MacBook Pro, the MacBook, etc., will connect through the MacBook Pro, but the MacBook Pro itself will not.
    So to sum up:  the modem software connects to the internet, Internet Sharing works as it should, Network Diagnostics and Network Utilities can't see a problem, and yet none of the apps that NEED to access the internet are able to.
    This is the error message that Safari gives:
         Safari can't open the page "...".  The error is "The
         operation couldn't be completed.  Operation not permitted"
         (NSPOSIXErrorDomain:1) Please choose Safari > report Bugs to Apple, note the
         error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.
    This is the error message that Chrome gives:
         Error 10 (net::ERR_ACCESS_DENIED): Unknown Error
    I have tried going to System Preferences / Network and deleting Airport and then adding it back.  I've tried disabling the Firewall.  And the same with reboots after each.
    We're from the States but currently our work has us in Africa.  To keep from inadvertantly passing on windows viruses to others (viruses are rampant in Africa), I'm running the Intego anti-virus software on both machines (VirusBarrier X6).  I mention this because the problem started after rebooting after an update for that software.  (The MacBook Pro has had the update, the MacBook has not.)  But I also used Time Machine in an attempt to roll back VirusBarrier X6 to its pre-update status.  That didn't solve the problem either, which makes be think that the Intego problem didn't cause the problem.  But I mention it to be thorough.
    There is an Apple-certified service centre in country, but it's a long drive away that I'd rather not have to make.  As it would for any of you in this day and age, this is really hampering my work.  Any and all help is much appreciated.

    THE FIX
    After hours (days actually) troubleshoorting, involving 4 people and Apple Support folks, I'll  save you time. If you have VirusBarrier-follow the Manual to uninstall. use Intego's uninstall and deauthorize Virusbarrier before you trash it. If you have Net Nanny, trash it.
    None of the above-it is Foxcomm's Airport/Bluetooth (661-5867) card. Faulty, non existent, blown a transistor, are all comments from Techn Support reps (the Genuis blue shirt reps)
    Take it into an Apple Store, have them check the Airport card  (and only the airport card) using " a different operating system". Sorry that is a black hole, as the machine disappeared to the back of the store for"testing. Don't re-install the OS, delete plist files or applications, reconf and spend hours wasting your time.
    Virusbarrier, net nanny or a faulty Airport card. In warranty it is covered; out of warranty:70.55 plus $39 to have Apple officially loosen the screws.I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro, can't speak for older models.
    Hope this helps the community.
