Installed 10.5.7 and can't connect on dialup internet - help!

Ever since I installed the 10.5.7 upgrade, I cannot connect to the net (I'm now usng an old computer). I'm on dialup - not by choice! My ISP Mac expert said he had hdeard of issues and suggested trying the different versions of the modem that are available in Network preferences. That didn't work. Anyone else having issues or any suggestions?

HI,
After any update, run Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities) and repair disk permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. 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.
See if that makes a difference.
So this issue isn't new? http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2008117&tstart=1

Try changing the channel in use in case you're getting interference.
If you have WEP enabled on the Internet Sharing it'ss worth disabling it whilst troubleshooting the connectivity issues.

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.

Just bought a macbook and can't connect to the internet. very frustrating

i can't connect through my wireless router. it reads it but can't connect. my brothers hp laptop connects to it and works. i brought it to work and tried to connect to the router at work but it failed again. but my bro's hp just reads it right away. i need some help please.

Hi,
The same happened to me, but here's a fix.
If it is password encrypted, when you first turn on your macbook, and they give you the internet connection list, Click on advance, and select "This computer does not connect to the internet" Then everything will finish installing.
Now when you see the wireless symbol on top of your screen (right next to the blue tooth) select Airport ON if it isn't enabled. Then connect to your wireless router, and when it asks for the password, click on the internet password type, and select the "Wireless WEP 12/48 key...or something like that" and it should connect. That is what I did to my macbook and it worked

I suddenly don't have an IP address and can't connect to the Internet!

A friend came over about a week ago and started playing with my MacBook pro. For most of the week I kept dropping the wifi signal. Then yesterday it wouldn't connect anymore. I tried restarting it several times, and renewing the DHCP lease, and removing all the remembered networks. Tried running the assistant and diagnostics, with no help. It says I don't have an IP address and that's why I can't connect. Any help?

3rd gen iTouch is disabled and can't connect to iTunes! HELP!!

My 3rd gen iPod Touch is disabled and says to connect to iTunes, but when I connect I receive a message saying iTunes is unable to connect to my iPod because it is locked and has to be unlocked to connect. I can't connect if it's not unlocked, but I can't unlock it until it connects. What do I do? Taking it to the Apple Store is a last resort, and I can't connect it to iTunes.

Did you try connecting it in recovery mode as described in this article?

Thank you all for these answers but none of the above worked...
I forgot to mention but I run on a windows 7 64bits os.
However, I uninstalled and installed again several times, nothing is getting better.
- java -version is not recognized, but this tool detects my version : http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp
- In java console, proxy are disabled and I tried to clear the cache --> no improvements
- I did not tried 1.5 only 1.6 but several updates. No improvement either.
Is someone accessing ESR/ID from windows 7 64bits ?
Is there any other tools to install appart from JRE ?

Airport has a self assigned IP and can't connect to the internet

Thats what i get when i want to share an internet connection from my mini, macbook and macbook pro.
none of them give an internet signal out to the world, they used to, but i think the last software update changed things.
so, being that i have the same problem with 3 machines i can say for sure its not a hardware problem, tried manually assigning an ip address, changing the network channel to any of the options.
still im giving no internet to any device. Running snow leopard 10.6.5 on c2d intel machines.
please, help me, as im getting heavy complaints from other people who havent got internet access for days thanks to this.
thanks
ps: i have no router. i just have one mac connected via ethernet to the internet, and i want that machine to share internet via airport / wifi to other devices such as a macbook or an ipod touch
this worked wonders for a while, then stopped working, then worked again, then stopped. it seems it comes and goes as macOSX updates come and go.

Is your computer which is acting as your gateway for the rest of your network running its firewall and blocking the traffic from the other computers? Can your other computers connect to each other? Ping each other?

Please help... Reset PMU and can't connect to wireless internet

I have an iBook G3 800. I took a trip and when I unpacked it, couldn't get it to turn on. I looked online on another computer and read the suggestion to reset the PMU. I did it, and my comp turned on. Only when I tried to connect to a wireless network, it didn't work. It seemed to be connected, but no webpages would load. I tried in a different location, with a different network, one I had used before. My comp identified the network, but when I tried to connect, I get an error message: "There was an error when trying to connect to the airport wireless network etc etc."
BTW, I had further trouble with starting up, but resetting the PMU worked, and that problem seems to be behind me. I also tried resetting the PRAM (or whatever equivalent the ibook has. I'm pretty ignorant.)
Thanks in advance for all your help.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I travel a lot, and I find the easiest thing to do is to use the Setup Assistant to set up a new location. That will usually get you connected, and then that location will be saved under whatever name you gave it. Then if you return to that location, you can just click on it to get that particular setup. I have done that with both dial up and wireless.
Good luck!

I can't create mi Apple ID and can't connect into iTunes Store HELP PLEASE NEW USER

Hi, im new with this. I just got a new MacBook Pro 13" with IOs X Lion. Im having a big trouble with my apple ID. I cant create an ID. first was the credit card security code. Somebody told me to follow the instructions in this link to solve the problem ( iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records ) but i cant even connect to Itunes Store. PLEASE I NEED SOME HELP URGENT!!
P.D: I created an ID on apple page but it seems that doesnt work for nothing. I tried using that ID on both (Itunes an App Store) but doesnt work.

First and foremost, I agree with gdgmacguy about using the support link. That is most likely your best bet. But, I have read posts from other users that had issues with their Apple ID that you must enter your address exactly like it appears on you credit card statement. Don't abbreviate "street" or "road" - things like that - unless that matches your statement exactly. Have you moved and maybe not changed your address on your credit card statement yet...??
I am not saying that is the reason you can't create the ID, but it has been an issue for some. You could try what I suggest, but the support link is the best way to go if you can't get it accomplished on your own.
here is the support link.

Reset router, can't connect to net - need help

Here's my situation, I spent an hour digging through previous posts trying to solve my issue with no luck.
Had Cavtel DSL running to a Linksys wrt54g ver.2 router which was working fine. My brother needed access to the network but we forgot the password which was set about 2 years before.
I hit the reset button on the back of the linksys router and promptly lost access to the internet from my computer.
I contacted linksys help over the phone and after dealing with someone in India he told me that they would charge me to walk me through it. I disconnected and tried cavtel... They told me to plug the cavtel modem directly to the pc. I still couldn't access the internet at this point.
She then had me modify my tcp/ip settings and gave me nifty numbers that allowed me to get back online. I asked her about the router and she said, oh just plug the modem into it and it will self detect everything and emphasized that I should call linksys and they'll be GLAD to help me out...
Needless to say, I plugged the internet into the router and once again can't get online. I then tried to backtrack and plug the pc back directly to the modem and can't connect to the internet once more. Contacted cavtel and their response was the classic, well we got you working directly we can't help you with router issues.
I don't have the install cd anymore, and I haven't a clue what to do to fix this. Top this off, there are no other wireless networks around my house so I can't access this forum from home or any online 'easy help' tools or programs.
Anyone have any suggestions??? And yes I know the basics of accessing the modem, the 192.168.1.1 etc etc admin password.
Thanks for help in advance.

Configuration for DSL connection:-
Before doing the following steps, you have to connect the modem to the
router's Internet Port and the computer to the Ethernet Port Number 1.
1. Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds.
2. Then, unplug the power keep holding down the reset button for
another 30 Seconds.
3. Plug back the power back in, and keep holding down the reset button
for 30 Seconds.
4. Release the reset button.
===================================================================
Access the setup page of the router by launching an
Browser and type on the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter. When
it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field
empty and provide password as "admin" (Without quotes)
click on ok.
On the main setup page the ""Internet Connection Type"" should be
on ""Obtain IP Automatically - DHCP ?. Click on the Save Settings
button.
Now click on the sub tab ""MAC address clone"".
- Click on enable
Click Clone & click save settings
Check WAN Ip on Status page of router ....
If getting Valid Ip .... try going online
If not ... power cycle for 4-5 minutes & then agian check the WAN Ip address .....

Why (out of the blue) airport extreme can't connect to the internet?

Suddenly the airport extreme on my macbook pro (10.6.8) decided to completely stop working. the modem/router work fine as i tested them with another computer and i've brought my macbook to another house and tested it there and the same thing happens. if i'm hardwired via ethernet cable the internet works like normal. which is what i'm doing now.
the wireless icon on the top of the screen shows full strength and when i click on it it shows my network with a check mark next to it but if i try to open a browser window it won't work. opening network preferences shows that airport is not connected and it does not have an IP address and can't connect to the internet. if i open airport utility (5.6.1) it says "airport utility unable to find any airport wireless devices".
everything was working fine a few days ago.
what's going on?

The same thing happened to me, and I took it to get looked at and they even replaced my base station, but then it kept disconnecting. I finally found the answer that solved my problem, but now I can't find the post that solved it to direct you toward. So I'll try to re-create it as best as I can.
Like that user, I have Xfinity. The other user had received this assistance from Comcast tech support (Which is sad that Comcast was more helpful than ... anyone ... but especially Apple), so if it doesn't work they should be able to help fill the gaps. Chances are, you may be better off getting assistance from your ISP than from Apple.
Basically, Comcast switched over to IPv6, and it needs to be accounted for or else the AEBS will drop the signal from the DSL modem.
1. Open Airport Utility
2. Click Edit on your AEBS icon.
3. Click the Internet tab.
4. Click Internet Options.
5. Make sure IPv6 Mode is set to "Tunnel."
6. Click the "Enable IPv6 Connection Sharing" radio button so that it's active.
7. Save changes, Update the new settings, and let the AEBS restart with the new changes.
I fixed it a couple of days ago, and it's worked perfectly since then.
Here's the post that fixed it. https://discussions.apple.com/message/21916742#21916742
Here's the Comcast information the post refers to. http://www.comcast6.net/index.php/6to4config#faq3
