Inability to access internet after installing 10.4.6

(I also posted this in the OS forum) I upgraded to 10.4.6 from 10.4.5 yesterday, and am unable to access the internet through my cable modem (ethernet) or airport. Nothing is wrong with the modem or the wireless router (Linksys) -- my G4 Powerbook says it is accessing the internet through the wireless router -- so I am assuming the problem lies in the upgrade, but the network diagnostic tool is no help in trying to fix this problem. I reinstalled 10.4.4 trying to get around this problem, but it still persists. Any ideas?

Hi Patrick,
Take a look at this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=437946, your issue sounds similar (if not identical) follow my tips and post back how it goes

Problem accessing internet after installing Lion

Hello,
I just installed Lion to my Mac (Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3), and somehow I now seem to have trouble accessing internet. I use Wi-fi, and the actual connection with our internetprovider works just fine (we have other computers in the house, and have not experienced any trouble with them). When I want to use internet I have to go to the network panel, click on "help me", and run a diagnostics. After that, I have no problem assessing internet.
I am SO sorry I am not able to explain my problem any better in english, but I do hope someone can help me sort this out, as it is most annoying.
Hopsi Daisy

Sorry, my bad for not explaining good enough!
When I start the diagnostics, the networkstatus on my left indicates with green dots that everything up until networkprovider is OK (Wi-Fi settings and network settings are all green)
Networkprovider is marked with a yellow dot, and internet and servant (? - not sure of the english word here!) are both red, indicating they do not work.
I then run the diagnostics, no problems encountered, and I am up and running. It does not say what the problem is, nor do I get any indications that something is wrong when trying to access internet in the first place (other than that it will not let me in to the pages I am trying to visit)
This happens everytime I for some reason restart the computer, or if I have been offline for a while (e.g. throughout the night). No problems once I am online.
Never had any such problems until I installed Lion.

Cannot access internet after upgrading to IOS 6.1.2 on iphone 4

cannot access internet after upgrading to IOS 6.1.2 on iphone 4.

ok here is the issue.
After i upgraded the IOS to IOS 6.1.2 I'm not able to use mobile internet as i have a data sim card.
As the settings provided by the service provider are not compatible with IOS 6.1.2 and the service provider cannot do anything about it, as it's something that has to be ressolved by apple.

Problems connecting to internet after installing Leopard

I have been having problems connecting to the internet after installing Leopard. I have a G5 at my office and use safari and AOL, using a cable modem and router. Everything worked perfect until I installed Leopard. About 3 days after installing Leopard on my G5 I started having problems connecting to the internet. When opening "network" in preferences it tells me I am connected, but I cannot connect. So I have to restart my computer every time in order to connect. Then to top it off, often in the middle of the day I am able to get and send e-mail with AOL, but my Safari does not connect. And even more bizare, if I am connected and sign off my AOL, I lose Safari as well. Brought the G5 into the Mac store and after trying some stuff they told me "it should work now" but ....same problems. So last Monday, I installed Leopard on my Macbookpro which I use at home wirelessly, everything worked well until yesterday when the same issue with my G5 is happening with the macbookpro. No connection, it tells me I am connected, signal is strong, but nothing.....so restart and keep going. What is going on? Anyone else having same problem? Any solutions
Roberto

Roberto,
Is the install of Leopard on the G5 and MacBook Pro an upgrade install or a clean install?
Try some simple maintenance to see if this resolves it:
1. Run Repair Disk Permissions (Disk Utility)
2. Go to Network Utility and go to Ping enter in www.cnn.com and see if the packets are received/sent. This is just to see if you can get to the outside so to speak
3. See if your cable modem manfacturer has a leopard upgrade. Sometimes hardware companies need to upgrade their firmware when new Operating systems come out

Sun JRE 1.6.0_11 accesses internet while installing, prompting proxy dialog

I'm trying to automate my Sun Java 1.6.0_11 (jre-6u11-windows-i586-p.exe) installation through the use of an MST transform (though previously was just using public properties passed on the command line). Every time I install I am being prompted to log into my corporate proxy to access a webpage. In the log file, it stops after PostInstallComplete to access the internet, and continues when I cancel or enter my information. This is a problem because I need to distribute this install via SMS and can't have any user interaction.
I have tried setting the following properties to disable this:
OPENJAVAHELP=False
LAUNCHBROWSER=False
NEEDIERESTART=0
FIREFOXRESTART=0
SDKSILENT=1
Addtionally, passing all of the above with /qb-! does nothing to suppress this. I can provide logfiles and more details if anyone thinks they may have an idea as to how to stop this. Also curious to hear if anyone else has run into this problem.
Windows XP SP2
No previous versions installed
Running from EXE (tried extracting MSI but requires Data1.cab which does not seem to be anywhere in the extracted files)

In my case I do not want to delete or stop the threads. I want to create one but the threadgroup in which it should be created is allready disposed.
I suppose this is because the way we used the applet was more a hack than a proper implementation. The moment you leave the page with the applet the applet destroys itself. Before version1.6.0-10 it did continue working (because of our suspicious sleep we build in the applet). This 'hack' left our applet alive even when the page where it was started was changed.
In your case I suppose it is better to close your threads, like close all windows and leave :-). I suppose your threads are still running when the applet leave and destroys his main threads. Your still running threads crash after the main one closes. I thought that the main thread kills all his childs but that is not allways the case. I am no so strong in that thread thingy so be carefull with my assumptions. That is also why I ask a little explanation of how it to understand what we did wrong.
Thx for the update

Very slow internet after installing 10.5.3

Hello all, this is the very first time I have encountered any problems with my Macbook and I am hoping I can get some help here.
About a month ago I came home from college and hooked my Macbook up to the wireless router at home, everything was running fine. We have fiber optic internet so usually my speeds are blazing fast. Recently however I installed the 10.5.3 update and now my internet speeds are very dismal. I am having trouble getting my Macbook to connect to the router at all, much less load any web pages.
I have taken an ethernet cable and plugged my Macbook directly in to the router to see if things load any faster, and unfortunately things are still just as slow over a wired connection. After typing in a URL you will sit there at a blank web page for about 45 seconds to a minute before it even starts loading the page, and when the page does load it takes forever to pull up and images take even longer to display. If it helps at all our router is a dlink DI-524 wireless router.
I was browsing through these forums yesterday to see if I could find a solution to my issue. so far I have tried the following:
-set router to broadcast in G mode only (instead of mixed mode)
-removed encryption from router
-tried various encryption settings (64 bit WEP, 128 bit WEP, WPA, etc)
-updated the firmware of my router
-created test account on my macbook, opened internet browser on it, everything still runs slow
-deleted cache for safari/mozilla as well as the .plist files, still slow internet
when i called apple the agent suggested putting in my os X CD and do an archive and install, i did and once i was set back to os X 10.5 i was unable to connect to wifi at all, and wired connection over ethernet seemed just as slow as before. when i check for apple updates the 10.5.3 update was my only option, i couldnt choose 10.5.2 so installing that would put me back where i was before.
in the end i set my computer up last night to do a restore from my time machine backup. my machine has been restored to the backup i created just before i tried the archive and install, so im back to running OS X 10.5.3 now.
I'm sorry this post got so long, I just wanted to make sure that I included details of what I've done so far. Again I would like to stress that I am having this problem on my macbook even with my computer hooked directly to the router with my ethernet cable. (using that same cable and hooking up any one of my windows computers in the house results in fast and effortless web browsing so i know the cable is good)

It's not a matter of Mac OS X being "picky" but rather various ISPs not keeping up with changes in the DNS standard.
In the most recent case, 10.5.3 had to revert to a previous method of performing some DNS lookups because various ISPs hadn't bothered to update their servers to handle what has been the recommended way of handling lookups for the past eight years.
OpenDNS also has done a lot of work to make sure their DNS servers work as fast as possible; ISPs have absolutely no incentive whatsoever to provide fast DNS services.

Unable to access iPhoto after installing iLife 06

I installed iLife 06. After doing so, my iPhoto folder cannot be accessed. I get a message saying "There is a problem accessing 1 or more files in iPhoto library folder. In the Finder, select iPhoto library folder. Choose File >Get Info. Make sure you have read and write permissions for the folder and then apply this setting to all enclosed items." I have done this, but I still can't get it to open. Any ideas?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.6)

susieslp:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That has happened to a number of users for some unknown reason. Try the following: download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. Good luck.
Do you Twango?

Safari 4 no longer connects to Internet after installing

The Software Update automatically installed Safari 4. Now, Safari 4 errors with "Safari can't connect to the server" regardless of what address (both alphanumeric and numeric) I type in and iTunes errors with "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. The network connection was refused."
However, Firefox is able to access the World Wide Web and I'm still able to access files on my Windows computers on my network.
I've already:
1. Repaired permissions with Disk Utility
2. Tried Safari in a new user account
3. Removed the preferences file
4. Cleared the caches
5. Deleted .com.apple.safari.plist
6. Emptied the trash and restarted the computer
But it still cannot access the Internet. I don't see any option to uninstall Safari 4 and go back to Safari 3.

HI Raymond,
Try using Open DNS.
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu. Click on TCP/IP and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' enter the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(An explanation of why that is both safe and a good idea can be read here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
Open DNS also provides an anti-phishing feature: http://www.opendns.com/solutions/homenetwork/anti-phishing/ )
If OpenDNS doesn't work for you, download the 10.4.11 combo update available here.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eppc.html
Then repair disk permissions...
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

No internet after installing E3000

I'm trying to replace an old wrt54g with and e3000 linksys but after configuring all the IP info from the old router into the new one I can get a LAN established but can't access WAN.
This is a T1 with static IP and I've even tried configuring a Win 7 netbook with the same static IP, gateway, DNS and can't get through to the internet. Yes I plugged my netbook straight into a T1 but only briefly.
Is it possible that the old Adtran Network Telephone 8 port IAD that we're getting our T1 connection from is not "compatable" these newer devices. I've tried every possible configuration modification in the e3000 configuration. I've called the phone company and they aren't much help.
I know this usually has to do with DNS but I'm using the same DNS from the old WRT54G that is still working fine when we plug back into it.
No other device will connect to the internet trough the T1 except the existing WRT54G router we need to replace.
Thanks!

If your modem is working with WRT54G router then I think it should work with the E3000 router also.
If you have the static IP address from IP address then I think you can connect the computer directly to the modem. Assign the same static IP address on your computer's Local area connection. Your computer should be able to access the Internet when connected directly to the modem.
Connect the WRT54G router modem and make sure that you can access the Internet through WRT54G router. Open the setup page of the router and check the Internet connection type. Go to the Status tab and check the Internet IP address. Note down all the numbers. Note down the MAC address also.
Now connect the modem to the E3000 router. Connect the computer to the router. Press and hold the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 30 seconds. Power cycle the router. Open the setup page of the router and enter the static IP address and DNS numbers. Go to the status tab and make sure that you have the correct numbers on the status page also.
Now try to access the Internet through the new router.
If not able to access the Internet then open the setup page of the router again. Go to MAC address clone sub tab. Enable the MAC address clone and enter then MAC address that you have already noted down off of the status page of old router. Power cycle the router and see if that works.

Can't access internet after updating to firmware 7.3.1

After updating to firmware version 7.3.1, I lost the ability to access the internet. The AEBS thinks it has an internet connection (the light is green), but it does not. I have tried restarting the AEBS and my cable modem router.
I had the same problem with firmware version 7.2.1, and had to revert to 7.1.1.
I'd like to find a solution so that I can make use of Airdisk and Time Capsule.

Same here: 7.1.1 works but 7.2.1 & 7.3.1 do not with the same symptoms.
In fact there are now several threads reporting the same loss of internet connectivity. Happily reverting to 7.1.1 restores connectivity.

Cannot access store after installing version 6

Folks,
Katrina has been kind enough to lead me through the basics of resolving my problem, and has referred me to this forum.
The issue
When I attempt to access the music store in version 6, the progress bar freezes at about 90% and there is no further action. If I end the program, an iTunes process remains resident using every available CPU cycle. I had no trouble accessing the store with my previous version of iTunes.
What I've done to diagnose/resolve
- un-installed iTunes/Quicktime and re-installed (reboot in between)
- un-installed just Quicktime and re-installed (reboot in between)
- disabled all firewalls, virus scanners and antispyware software both during install and when running iTunes
- used msconfig to disable processes and determined that with non-MS processes disabled this problem still occurs. The only processes running are alg, csrss, ctfmon, explorer, iTunes, lsass, services, smss, spoolsv, several instances of svchost, System, System Idle Process, qttask, taskmgr, vsmon (a ZoneAlarm process which cannot be stopped, but all ZoneAlarm functions were disabled), wdfmgr and winlogon.
- confirmed with my ISP that they do nothing to filter/screen any data and they have have no reported issues with iTunes
- my Internet connection works fine for all other functions, in and out of iTunes
Data
XP Pro SP2 patched to 2-Jan-2006
iTunes 6.0.1.3
high-speed (500k) cable Internet connection
Thanks in advance for ideas that may help.
Jon

Well, sounds like a network problem. I can get into
iTMS just dandy, so I don't suspect an iTunes server
problem.
That might depend on how the servers are organized, are they geographic? I'd be surprised if Canadian customers weren't routed to a different server.
Report it to your cable provider. If you can connect
sometimes, your PC and the software are set up OK.
I'd say there's nothing to report to my cable provider, many other Internet services are running fast and with no problems (various browsers, Skype, MSN). 55ms average ping to Apple.com. 53ms to Apple.ca and iTunes.ca. Connection to many other sites is fast.
The cNet bandwidth test reports 500.6 kBps, which is what my ISP has my connection throttled to.
But even when I can sign on to iTunes the site is painfully slow in response.
So I don't think there's any problem with my internet connection.
I forget if you told me your PC is malware free?
That's the only other thing I can think of.
I have a variety of security software, and the last full spyware scan was today. Hopefully I don't have hidden malware installed surreptitiously by a music CD from a disreputable music company. But I'm thinking by now my security software (NOD32, Spysweeper, MS Anti-spyware, ZoneAlarm) would have cleaned that out.
Good luck!
Thanks!
Jon

File Error: Access Denied After Installing FCP X on FCP 7 Drive

Hi, after foolishing installing FCPX on the same har drive as FCP7 (I know against all sane advice and recommendations) I now get File error: Access Denied when trying to save work under FCP 7.
Does anyone have any advice re resolving this issue.
Would be much appreciated, I'm loathe to do a full reinstall if I can possibly avoid it
Thanks in adcance
john

Have you run software update and repaired premissions?
Was FCPX installed before or after FCP7?
FCP7 and the other FCS3 apps should be located in a folder in Applications if you're going to have them coexist with FCPX. If you had FCS installed prior to downloading FCPX, that relocation is done automatically. But you could also do it manually.
If you haven't sen it, here is Apple's best installation practices.
