Imac using mobile USB modem; PC connects but won't open webpages?
Using a Clear 4GB mobile USB modem on my iMac for internet; My wireless PC with the Clear Connection Manager installed gets connected with a strong signal, but then will not connect to any website. Used the PC connection wizard stuff until it got to usual pc deep mumbo jumbo, not helpful, I'm NOT a PC guy.
Any plain English suggestions would be most welcome! Clear wants to sell me another $140 device to share the wireless with other devices, no way.
What modem script or software has Clear furnished you? In as much as you are paying them for the modem and the service they should be making sure you connect. In my experience the modem is usually furnished free for a two year service contract.

My Macbook connects to Internet but won't open webpage
Thanks in advance for reading this. My Macbook shows various Airport connections but hasn't worked for a while unless it is directly plugged into my modem. I just set up a new modem and connect via Airport. The Airport signal shows that it is strong and connected, but I cannot open a web page. Any ideas? I'm not sure of my operating system--I bought this mac in June and I know I don't have the fancy new one. Thanks so much.
Your post is confusing. Your airport can show many signals but that doesn't mean you're on any of those networks - which should require entering some sort of password. Where I'm sitting now, my airport icon shows 9 networks of which 7 are locked and I'm on one and haven't tried the other that might be open. You need to join a network, which you can do by selecting that option from the drop down menu - if you know the password. (You can also open the Network system preference.)
The version of the OS doesn't matter much, though what the airport drop down menu shows will be different from 10.4 to 10.5.
In other words, it sounds as though you're confusing having a wireless signal with being connected to the wireless network and thus to the internet. -
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue - wifi is connected but the web browser won't open - gives message that computer is offline. It works fine on ethernet and also on other computers in house. no other modem or devices in home.
computer one year old.He advised me to 'back up' everything and 'reformat' the computer.
I have been looking at how to do these tasks - not 100% on both.
The quickest way to do this is to create a clone copy of your existing internal Macintosh HD. You can create this copy using applications like Data Backup, Carbon Copy Cloner, or SuperDuper!.
I use an external USB HDD for the clone copies.
The following AppleInsider article will give you an idea on how to use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a clone backup of your Mac's hard drive. -
Connected but can't open webpages
My iPod 4G 8gb is connected to the internet as it says it is connected and shows full bars at the top of the screen but when I click into Safari, it says "Cannot Open Page" and below it says "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet". I have a strong connection with full bars and the internet on the computer is working fine (which is connected to the wireless router) and so is the internet on the laptop (which is getting a wireless signal from the router). The iPod is new, I only bought it yesterday. *Please help.* Thanks.
I am having the same problem and I have looked at everything. My wifi is using a separate access point, not my router as it is a wired only router. My access point is connected to my router via ethernet.
1. Router: Router is brand new and firmware is up to date. Note: this problem was occurring with an older router as well.
2. Access Point: I have full bars. Windows PC and Blackberry have no problem browsing. I know it's not a signal problem because when I renew lease, I am able to get an IP address and browse successfully.
3. Ipod Touch: I think I have tried almost every setting suing wpa, wpa2, mac filtering, no mac filtering etc.
I'm really at a loss as to why my browsing is so inconsistent. I have had the same problem using an airport express as my AP and I have the same issue using my Trendnet.
On my Ipod Touch, I can be browsing fine, then poof, nothing. If I go into my wireless settings, I have full bars and I have a 192 address, not a 169. As soon as I turn wireless off and back on or click Renew Lease, it works.
So, what gives? I should mention I had some of the same problems on my powerbook and iMac as well. Especially on resuming from sleep. I love my Apple gear but it's really been frustrating with wifi and if I didn't have Ethernet throughout my house, I would be in trouble.
It's really strange. If someone can offer something, I will give a big star -
Macbook Pro + Virgin Mobile USB Modem + WiFi Time Capsule = No Internet :(
Helping a friend with this. Can connect to Internet OK w Virgin Mobile USB modem. When he then connects to Time Capsule via WiFi, the Internet stops working. Turn off WiFi and it starts working again.
I looked at the routing tables and both interfaces are set as default. I disabled default on the WiFi interface but had no effect. Here is the output of the netstat -rn command. If anyone has any insight it would be appreciated.
Internet:

Can't use my USB modem "HUAWEI model E156G" on my MACBook Pro
I'm new to MAC (I used to be a windows user) and I'm a little bit frustrated for not being able to use my USB modem "Huawie E156G" for connecting my new MacBook Pro!
I followed these steps:
Got the USB modem drivers found on Huawei site that should support my USB modem model. there were 2 drivers, one for "Intel" and another one for "PowerPC" platforms
First, I installed the "Intel" version succesfully. According to the steps, I tried to run the installed driver, but I got the following message:
"you cant open the app HuaweiDataCardApp because PowerPC app are no longer supported".
I repeated the installation procedure using the "PowerPC" version that finished succesfully (without removing the previous installed driver because dont know how to do that). I got the same message when running the driver application:
"you cant open the app HuaweiDataCardApp because PowerPC app are no longer supported".
It would be much appreciated if anyone can help me
Note: my MAC OS is MAC OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74), Processor Intel Core I5
Thankshttp://pasamio.com/2011/07/22/getting-your-huawei-modem-working-with-mac-os-x-li on/

Cant load half of the FB apps using my usb modem
What would possibly cause a USB modem to cause half of the Facebook apps to no longer to load as of ten days ago.
1) It is NOT my computer.
-I used my laptop under 4 different internet connection and had no problem accessing all my FB apps
2) It is NOT Facebook
-I have no problem using any of the facebook apps when NOT using my usb modem.
3) It's THE usb modem
-I used the same usb modem on my other laptop that has VWAcess Manager and got the same results of not abling to gain access to half of my facebook apps.
4)The current USB Modem I am using is Pantech UM150-AL and been using it for 4 years
I eliminated many many possibiltiies and can only conclude its the USB Modem, but I cant see how the heck it's doing it. Any help on this will be grateful.Apps crashing

I have a wifi connection but "safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet" I have reset everything; I have used Itunes to update and reset. Still no good. It worked until 2 days ago
Reset everything.. did you do this?
Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings
If you're already been there, done that, could be a third party app preventing Safari from accessing the web.
Re sync your apps 5 at a time, then test the iPad. -
A year ago I brought a 1 TB hard drive (My Passport), I have not used it for over 4 months and now when I use the USB cord to connect it to my mac, it does not register the hard drive. Does anyone know why this is happening?
The beeps could be caused by something as simple as a loose internal wire or connection. If it is under warranty (not sure how long that is, as WD drives range from 1 to 5 years depending on the model's series - I think "my passport" drives are 3 years) you could contact WD and ask them about it.
If it is out of warranty, you could also try opening the case and check the connections - the drive may be fine, and there have been posts on TomsHardware forums of people getting the beeps, opening up the case and the drive is fine, just some wire worked loose. -

IMac froze, now I can power up but can't open any applications...
Ok, forgive me if this has been asked 1000 times already, I don't have time to trawl through every post one here.....
Last night I was happily using my iMac, got a new email and when I went to open it everything froze. I could still move the mouse cursor around the screen but couldn't minimize, quit or force quit any applications. I could also not shut down/restart the system as normal. I powered off using the power button and rebooted from there. OSX started as per normal but I still can't open any of the applications. When you roll the mouse over any of the program icons it tells you what they are but won't open them. I also still cannot shut down the system through Finder and cannot force quit either.
Apple's technical "help" line has suggested restarting in safe mode etc, but is there anything else I could try to resolve the problem?Hi Tom, what were the results of starting in Safe Mode, does that sort the problem? If it does then it gives us an idea where to look. If not try Repair Disk.
Steps for using Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.) Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair.
If you repair errors run it until no errors found.

Are you wanting to import iCal to the MacBook Air. Since iCloud doesn't work with 10.6 OSX you probably don't have any data in iCloud yet?
