Install Mac OS X, i am facing mac os x cannot be installed because you aren't connected to the internet how to solve this

rpotala,
if you are trying to install OS X onto an erased disk or onto a newly formatted disk, and your Mac originally came from the factory with Lion or newer installed, then you will need Internet access to perform an OS X Internet Recovery.
If your Mac originally came from the factory with Snow Leopard or older installed, then you will need to install Mac OS X from the grey Mac OS X Install DVD that originally came in the box with your Mac.

  • TS1814 what about if I have a mac but am experiencing the same prompt? "iTunes could not contact the iPod software update server because you are not connected to the Internet. Make sure your Internet connection is active and try again."

  • I have windows on my mac and lost audio and can't connect to the internet.anyone else having this problem? Or have it installed at the apple store?

    I have windows on my mac which was installed at the apple store. I have lost audio and cannot connect to the internet on the windows side. Mac is ok. apple genius and tech support can't help me and say I need to go to microsoft. In fact the tech support was unaware that windows was loaded on by the apple retail store. Has anyone else had this problem?I recently bought fusion thinking this would help bridge between the two( as told by the genius bar) but it didn't help.Any ideas?

    hey mate i used to have the same problem and i got computers maintenance guys out to fix it in the end and all it was, was the router.. got a new one and it was all good after that! i think some routers just arent compatible for some reason or another.

    It's best to describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible, rather than what you think is causing it or how you think it should be solved.

  • How do I download firefox for windows 7 using my Mac, which will be used as part of a rebuild for a PC which won't connect to the internet until I finish fixing it.

    Simple, I need the file to put on a PC which currently does not have a browser.

    You will be able to download the Windows version from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html

  • Installed update of Firefox, but cannot drag into applications folder, it indicates that "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges", so how can I complete the install?

    I try to drag the app into the applications folder where an old app of firefox exists and it asks me if I want to replace it and after i say yes it gives me the operation cannot be completed message.

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    *Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

  • I have a brand new Mac Pro Tower that continually kicks me off the internet and sometimes starts up not connecting to the internet?

    My brand new Mac Pro Tower that I spent a small fortune on sometimes boots up and does not connect to the internet when every other computer in my office does and other times it just kicks me straight off. My question is, is there a problem with the wi fi on these machines?

    Brand new nMP Mac Pro 6,1 Late 2013.... and it is defective - the older silver tower might be easier to find parts but at least it is not 65 lbs and is something that can be taken in - which I think you really need to do.
    When you run etrecheck from www.etresoft.com it can show what is installed, drivers and might help point to something on software side.
    Grant is the go-to person here I think among others for networking issues.
    Airport Express and signal strength, channel it is trying to use, whether the Network control panel settings are "correct" or need to be changed (even the order, what it is trying to look for and use).
    If you move it to another spot or put another computer over in that general vicinity...? behaves the same.
    I recall reading where the MacBook Pro model in 2012? and switched to a new chipset and some very long (huge) threads in their forum - which means also there was no real solution given.
    No, should not be. And other than network tests would be booting into Apple DiagnosticsTest mode - pulls down from Apple servers.

  • I have installed a Apple Time Machine now my Windows laptop will not connect to the internet

    I recently installed an Airport Time Capsule without any problems and my iphone, ipad and Macbook Air can all connect to the internet without issues, but my son's Windows desktop suddenly won't connect to the internet.
    It basically joins the network and shows that it has internet access but when you go to any webpage it says, "unable to connect to the internet"
    I rang the BT helpline as i have installed the Mcafee anti-virus, which was free, thinking that there might be a confliction? After a few checks i was asked to disconnect the Time Capsule and re-connect the BT router. As soon as i did that i got internet access on my sons machine.
    BT suggested i speak to Apple as there is obviously something i need to do to the desktop to enable it to work with the Time Capsule, and it is beyond their capability.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance, Pete

    Yes I don't see problems there.
    I presume the 10.0.2.29 on the Mac is just a typo.
    There is a good chance windows is just being stupid, which is not surprising.
    Reboot the whole system.
    Restart in correct order.. modem.. TC.. 2min gap between them, and then PC.
    Test with just the PC running.
    See if you can open a web page.. no luck
    In the command window again, ping the various IP addresses.
    So ping 10.0.1.1 first.
    Then ping 8.8.8.8
    If those pings work, then try and ping a website. eg www.google.com
    Does that work or not?
    If ping works and the web pages won't open that is one of those hard ones.
    Make sure under network in the PC it is located at home.. not work or public. Windows has this nasty habit of flipping itself autonomously between these settings.. take off the firewall if it is still a problem.
    And finally go into the TCP/IP settings and change the DNS to 8.8.8.8

  • IOS6.1.2 downloaded but won't install. I get an error message each time that states I am not connected to the Internet but I am. Any ideas?

    I downloaded the update just after it came out but it wouldn't install. It is in the software update section in settings but I can't install it. When verifying I get an error message saying that it can't be installed because I am not connected to the Internet, yet I am connected.

    You cannot use the AE to extend wireless from a non apple router such as your cisco modem router.. they are not compatible..
    You need to tie to the two devices together either with ethernet or something like EOP adapters.. They are about $120 and you can price match in officeworks.

  • I installed Lion today but to my dismay no Adobe CS programmes will run. I am informed that I must install a Java runtime followed by a declaration that I am not connected to the internet....help!
