my computer has been taken in three times for internet issues. each time they say it is fixed. I have rest my safari several times, all the internal parts have been checked and are said to be in perfect working order, and i have had the entire profile of my computer wiped clean, having to reinstall everything. now it is doing this and will stay on this gray screen for up to a half hour, until the box that says safari has quit working, or the flash player plug in has quit working. Has anyone else had this problem, if so any help would be great, casue I really do not want to take the computer in again only for them to tell me its fine.

Hi All
i have been trawling through the fourms and still cannot find a solution to my iMac internet issues. I have done a complete format and reinstall of Mac OS X 10.3.9 (to be fair i downloaded update on another computer and instelled via USB stick) everything works great can import into firewire from camcorder etc. Airport card can see the wireless connection but when i enter the password it states there is a problem and connot connect. I have tried everying (to what i can understand anyway) and teh main reason for a clean install was to get rid of any possible conflicts that may have been there.
everything else can use the internet including my MacBook (intel) fine. Some one did suggest once that DNS settings were not correct which to be honest i did not userstand how to alter them, plus if eberying else was ok why just this iMac playing up.
Please can you assist just want to this to connect so my son can upload his filming to pleople for his re school assignments.
thank you in advance
PeterOops!
Could you specify what iMac you have, the specs of the system & computer,
as that may help research or find workable ideas for you to try. This would
help in troubleshooting, or in discovering Support articles to link you to in
the course of a discussion.
I just re-read your post and had thought it was for a later
mac + OS X that would not run in PowerPC vintage!
(The mention of MacBook threw me off, as did a recent newer
OS X upgrade that may run -- in that newer hardware 10.9.3)
So you've upgraded a PowerPC iMacG4 to Leopard 10.3.9
and the internet doesn't work? The wireless router may be
using a different security protcol than the old Airport Card
can support; you may have to test the unit via Ethernet to
be sure the computer itself is fully updated. It may go to
Apple servers to look for Software Updates.
The settings for the wireless security may be incorrect,
since later WPA2, won't apply to vintage AirPort card.
With a later OS X such as Tiger 10.4(.11) the odds do
improve for connectivity to the internet.
The DNS settings should not be an issue if you can use the
internet with a recent version computer and later OS X.
Not sure how to help, except to try as a test, to run without
the security you'd really want with the wi-fi (WPA2, etc)
turned on, to see if the old iMac can then use it.
Another issue would be the lack of correct frequency; a
newer Wi-Fi system may not be set to be backward
compatible to 802.11a/b, newer ones use 802.11/b/g/n/+
You may check to see if the router has a setting to allow
use of lower or older spec connection.

USB-GSM internet doesn't work on my new iMac but works in other Macs
Hi!
I have a Sierra Wireless USB - GSM internet device and it works perfectly on my laptop.
I just got my new iMac and I plugged the device in as normal...
Once I introduce the USB modem, the iMac opens the installation program included on the device and I install normally. I restart the computer and the program doesn't detect the device. It also happens, that every time I introduce the device on the USB port, it activates again the installing program.
But it works perfectly on my laptop and I also tried it on another new iMac and it worked perfectly.
What can be the problem and how to solve it?
Thanks!I found it!

Hi there
It's been a while since I last posted on these forums with an internet issue, but my connection is really messed up. I'll see if I can do the speedtester stuff in between the constant disconnections that I am getting.
My router stats are at the end of this message. Despite the fact my Downstream speed keeps switching between 6Mbps - 7.9Mbps, I am getting around 1.6Mbps, which I expect. The very high number of errors is telling me that my line is really noisy: my parents have told me that the line, when using the phone, was very noisy when calling other people, which would confirm that theory.
I do know that there are some works being done in a plot of land right next to the telephone exchange and I suspect it's BT adding the fibre broadband exchange in preparation of activating fibre in my area by the end of the year, is it possible this is causing line issues ? I know we've also had really bad weather and I'm suspecting this to be a factor in my connection issues.
Many thanks for any help I can get.

I'm not connected to test socket, but I doubt that would make a difference to a noisy line ?
I'll do quiet line test, but my router settings do seem to be indicating the line is noisy. Here's another set of stats from just now.

Is July 9 internet issue a problem for Mac Pro users?
Is the July 9 internet issue a problem for Mac Pro users or has Apple taken care of this issue in updates?
It is a only a problem for users affected by the malware that replaces their DNS IPs on their macs. They already have a serious problem which they should fix. Follow the url in sig's post to determine if you are infected and how to remove it.

I seem to be having a massive amount of random internet issues after upgrading to Leopard. The first and most apparent is that Mail and iChat both get randomly disconnected and Mail often insists that it cannot connect to the IMAP server one moment, only to work perfectly again within a minute while no other internet services (Safari, Transmission) are affected.
Safari has decided that http://news.bbc.co.uk is actually http://www.apple.com. I kid you not. I try and look at BBC news and I am consistently redirected to Apple's website. news.bbc.co.uk/iphone goes to apple.com/iphone. I've never seen anything like it before in my life.
Mail's RSS feeds seem to randomly disappear. No trace of their existence is left. After switching the 'default RSS reader' preference to Safari and then back to Mail, they re-appear - with all articles unread.
On the whole, quite a number of confusing bugs.So, what happens if you go here: http://212.58.226.73/ ? That's the IP address that news.bbc.co.uk is supposed to point to. I found that by looking in Tiger's Network Utility as my Leo is still on it's way to me. If you want to know what that IP is before going there ( a good idea ), you can put that in the lookup tab on Net Util and see what comes back.
If the IP works, then DNS is hosed somewhere. See what Net Util says news.bbc.co.uk translates to. If it the number above, it's a Safari thing. If it's apple (starts with 17 IIRC) then it might be fixable by flushing the DNS cache though I don't know how to in Leo (shouldn't be hard).
If you did an upgrade install, you might want to reinstall using Archive and Install. -
I just bought a 21.5" refurbed iMac. Worked great for a week and now for the past week or so, I cannot stay connected to either Firefox or Safari for more than 2 minutes before the browser starts "Looking up" the website and then it completely disconnects. I go into the network diagnostics while this is happening and I see that Internet and Server have orange dots next to them, then after a little while those dots turn red along with ISP's dot. I called my ISP yesterday and they said that everything on their end is good. I believe them because, I had been playing WoW and Warhammer Online since I got the computer and have played for up to three hours at a time, and I never had any disconnects or lag form the games at all. I even connected to WoW while my browser's connection was tanking to see if I could connect and I did just fine with no lag or disconnects. I even pinged some websites while this was going on and that worked as normal. Probably the oddest thing of all this, is that if I go straight from my cable modem to my computer I get absolutely no internet at all. I can only go through my router to get connected. I did call Apple about this and the only thing they came up with was for me to delete these com.apple.safari, and com.apple.mozilla files, but that didn't work. So, now I'm at a loss of what to do. I've restored my router back to factory settings and downloaded an update for it, played with IP addresses and DNS addresses and nothing is working out. With each day that passes the connection times to my browsers get less and less. My router is a Netgear WGR614 v.5 btw. This all seems to happen when I just go wireless with the iMac also. If there's anybody out there that can help it would be greatly appreciated.
TLDR: Internet browsers don't stay connected to internet, but I can play online games, and ping websites with no issues. Modem straight to computer does not work, have to go through router to connect. Called ISP and called Apple, but no solutions have helped.Based on which device is configured to negotiate the internet connection with his ISP this is to be expected. For example, if his router were programmed to negotiate through the modem and establish the external IP and also negotiate with all the devices on his LAN and assign the internal IPs, then his Mac is only configured to get its internal IP from the router.
So, if he removes the router from the setup, then he would need to reconfigure the Mac to now negotiate directly with his ISP for its internet connection.
He does not mention having done any of that in his post. So an explanation of how the home LAN is setup and each device configured would be helpful in understanding what may be going wrong.

I've been banging my head against the wall on this for a few days.
10.5.2 server running DNS with everything resolving correctly.
From an external client, I can access the web server without issue (including web mail).
From an internal client on Firefox, I can access the web server.
Here's the problem: from an internal client on Safari, I get "…it can't find the server…" error!
I have been over all of the settings in both DNS and Web services and see nothing out of the ordinary.
Anyone have any great ideas?From an internal client on Firefox, I can access the web server.
Here's the problem: from an internal client on Safari, I get "…it can't find the server…" error!
I experienced a similar issue because I'm using privproxy to filter adverts.
Are you using a proxy in your System Preferences/Advanced/Proxies?
If yes Safari will pick that setting on Network Preferences but not Firefox.
You need to set it up in Firefox/Preferences/Advanced/ Network/Settings/ as well.
From an external client, I can access the web server without issue (including web mail).
By external client, do you mean a client from outside your network? From the internet?
Your server is public facing then?
To access my public facing servers, the thing I usually do is to change /etc/hosts on my internal development clients to point directly to the server. It's OK as long as you don't have many clients of course.
You can also access a similar setting on your firewall.
Hope it help. -
WLC 5508 Internal DHCP server issues
Hi,
I am hoping to get your feedback around the dhcp issues I am facing with Two Centrally Switched Wireless LANs. I have tried to explain the setup and the problems below and would appreciate it if anyone can suggest a solution for the problems I am facing:
The setup is as follows:
- I have a WLC 5508 which has been configured with 4 SSIDs, out of which 2 are using Central Authentication and Switching.
- I have an LWAP connected to the WLC in HREAP mode.
- WLC is configured as the DHCP server for clients connecting to the SSID 'Guest'. For the rest, I am using external dhcp server.
- Only one scope for Guest Interface is setup on the WLC.
Problems:
1. As far as I know, for WLC to act as internal dhcp server, it is mandatory to have the proxy enabled, but the Clients connecting to SSID 'Internet' are
unable to get an ip address from the external dhcp server, if dhcp proxy is enabled on the WLC. If i disable the proxy, it all works fine.
2. DHCP does not release the ip addresses assigned to clients even after they are logged out.
3. If a machine which was earlier connected to 'Guest' SSID connects to the 'Internet' SSID, it requests the same ip it was assigned by the WLC which it was assigned under 'Guest', but gets tagged with the Vlan configured on the management interface.

I have a similar issue where Wireless clients are not receiving automatic addressing from an internal DHCP server. I have multiple interfaces configured on the WLC which are connected to separate VLANS. The manually specified DHCP primary server entry is the same on all interfaces. Some clients are able to authenticate and receive automatic IP configuration but some clients are failing the address assignment process. I have checked connectivity between the WLC and DHCP server, this is confirmed as working. When I carry out a "debug dhcp packet enable", I get the following outputs which seems as if the DHCP discover request from the client is skipped. Your thoughts and inputs on this are appreciated.

Short dump-internal table size issue
Hi,
I get the following message in the short dump analysis for a report.
No storage space available for extending table "IT_920".
You attempted to extend an internal table, but the required space was not available.
Error Analysis:
The internal table "IT_920" could not be enlarged further.
To extend the internal table, 9696 bytes of storage space was
needed, but none was available. At this point, the table "IT_920" has
1008240 entries.
Its an old report and I saw the internal table declaration using the "OCCURS" clause in the internal table declaration.
begin of itab occurs 100.
end of itab.
I tried the option of changing to "OCCURS 0", still issue persists.
Any help would be highly appretiated
CMHello CMV,
This is basic problem with SAP internal tables. For every internal table memory is alocated ( Max..256K)...once you cross the memory size/limit of the internal table it resuls in short dump.
Only way to overcome this problem is handle limited number of records at a time..
Please refer following sample code which will help you to avoid short dump while processing large number of records....
SORT TAB_RESULT.
DESCRIBE TABLE TAB_RESULT LINES W_RECORDS.
W_LOW = 1.
W_UP = 1000.
*Spliting the records from tab_result1 by pakage of 1000 at a time
*to avoid short dump in case of more records
WHILE W_LOW <= W_RECORDS.
R_PKUNWE-SIGN = 'I'.
R_PKUNWE-OPTION = 'EQ'.
R_WERKS-SIGN = 'I'.
R_WERKS-OPTION = 'EQ'.
LOOP AT TAB_RESULT FROM W_LOW TO W_UP.
MOVE TAB_RESULT-PKUNWE TO R_PKUNWE-LOW.
MOVE TAB_RESULT-WERKS TO R_WERKS-LOW.
APPEND R_PKUNWE.
APPEND R_WERKS.
ENDLOOP.
*fetch sold to party
SELECT KUNNR NAME1
FROM KNA1
APPENDING CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE TAB_KNA1
WHERE KUNNR IN R_PKUNWE.
*fetch plant
SELECT WERKS NAME1

REFRESH: R_PKUNWE,

W_LOW = W_LOW + 1000.

ENDWHILE.
Hope this will help you to solve problem.

Internal DNS resolution issue - almost all external sites working
I administer an Xserve running 10.5.8 Server. This client is running internal DNS due to a few internal services (iChat, mail, VPN, etc) - but his website, of the same domain, is hosted externally at a hosting provider. This is where I'm running into odd problems. For examples:
ichat.company.com - 10.0.1.100 (when inside the network, also has FQDN on Internet)
mail.company.com - 10.0.1.100 (same as above)
www.company.com - xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (the actual public IP address of the web server at the host)
Do I need to do it this way? If I don't define the "www" record internally, and point it to the external IP of the hosting provider for the website, the clients inside the network can't see the website, because the internal domain services aren't answering the "www" question and won't hand off to the internet records. It's frustrating because every time the client has a subdomain added to his website, i have to add a record on his internal DNS or it won't resolve at his office. example:
newdomain.company.com - xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (public IP of the web host, or it fails)
Is there a way to have internal DNS for a domain answer most but not all questions for the domain?
- BillJust as an aside, you could potentially setup a subdomain for the internal systems, e.g. 'corp.company.com' and setup the internal services in this domain - ichat.corp.company.com, mail.corp.company.com, etc.
Then to get to the internal systems users use those .corp.company.com hostnames and the rest of .company.com gets sent upstream.
It may or may not be sufficient for your needs. This kind of model works well for static users that only work in the office but may not work so well for mobile users. -
Internet issues on my new Macbook Pro.
I'm hoping someone might be able to shed some light on an issue I have been having! I've just got a new Macbook Pro, so late 2011 model and ever since having it I have had issues with the internet. Forgive me if I'm not able to explain very well what is going on, but ill give it my best shot.
So I'm Wi-Fi to connect, which is on a 10mb connection, and using Safari on the Mac. When I first open Safari, the apple home page loads straight away no issue. I tend to be able to use the net for about 10 minutes without any issue. Then, for no reason whatsoever, Ill click on a link or type a web address, and it will take FOREVER to load, sometimes it won't load at all. I'm not talking anything heavy with pics or video, just a standard webpage, it could be anything. The other issue I have, is for example like today, I was on the guardian website, and I opened a few links in some new tabs, probably about 8 in total and the same thing always happens. Some load instantly, some take forever, so fail to open at all. If I turn the Wifi off on the Mac, and literally straight back on again, and refresh any page, it will load instantly (about 80% of the time this works). then after a few minutes same thing happens. Then after a while, it will go back to normal again and so forth and so forth! It's becoming quite frustrating. The wifi connection isnt lost, its still connected according tot he symbol at the top, it just isnt working.
The best way I can describe it, is its like the router is getting 'clogged up' and struggles to get any info to my Mac. then after a while, it de-clogs itself and were good to go for a few minutes again.
I've never had this problem, with my main pc which is connected wirelessly, or even my little netbook I was using as a laptop before this. I was able to open as many links and tabs as I wanted with no issue, and never had hang times like this whilst waiting for anything to open! There doesnt appear to be an issue with my connection, as every pc, phone and even ps3 can connect without a single issue. The PS3 will happily stream HD netflix without any issue over wifi
I'm not sure what is going on! When my Mac is downloading big files, it never seems to have any problems and the d/l speed stays pretty consistent. I've run speediest at various points during various days, and I'm getting a pretty steady 10mb.
Anyone that can shed any light would be a lifesaver!! I'm hoping there isn't an issue with the Mac however this is getting to the point of unbearable, and im close to returning the **** thing!
Thanks in advance!Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found

HP Pavilion p7-1414 PC Internet Issues
Wasn't sure where to put this..
Lately I have been experiencing an issue with the Internet on this computer. I am a gamer, so basically when I play games and browse the internet (Google Chrome) and every now and than Skype a friend. Whenever I do this all at the same time the internet gets REALLY slow. I mean like Skype get's really staticy, everything on Google Chrome loading really slow, and having really high latency in a game (Doesn't matter which game).
And i've looked into this with all the computers, and any issues with the router, etc. But my other desktop I have in the room with me, doesn't do this. Runs perfectly smooth while I do all of this.
So after testing all of this and looking into this I have come to a conclusion. The Network Adapter built into the computer doesn't work properly or is just bad. So I tried to hook a Dynex Wireless G Network Adapter (Model No. DX-BUSB) into the computer. It crashes the computer within 5 minutes sometimes within 30 seconds whenever I tried this.
I would really like some assistance in this issue of mine. Thank you for your time if you managed to read this far.Are we comparing computers? Then what are the exact model numbers? What are the side-by-side differences in CPU, GPU, motherboards, RAM, and OS.

Incredibly slow MacBook, Internal Hard Drive issues...
Good morning everybody! I'm apologize if this post is extremely wordy...
I am extremely baffled by a particular issue with a MacBook 2.0GHz C2D which belongs to a friend of mine. The warranty is expired.
_Brief history:_
Several months ago, this MacBook could not find a bootable volume. The drive would not mount when booting from an external FireWire hard drive. It would not mount when the MacBook was put in Target Disk Mode and connected to another Mac. When booting from an external USB hard drive or with my MacBook Pro connected to the MacBook via Target Disk Mode, the MacBook booted up quickly. I came to the conclusion that the internal hard drive must have failed and needed to be replaced. Ultimately, the data was not recoverable from this drive.
I then proceeded to swap out the defective Apple OEM Seagate hard drive with a known working Apple OEM Fujitsu hard drive. When booting from the Leopard Install DVD, the MacBook would boot incredibly slow, but would finally reach the Installer Language screen. When proceeding to install Leopard, the drive would take a very long time to have data written to it, and ultimately the install failed. I removed the new hard drive from the MacBook and placed it in an external USB enclosure, attached it to the MacBook and booted from the Leopard Install DVD. Leopard would install successfully. I removed the hard drive from the enclosure and reinstalled it the MacBook. When booting from the freshly installed OS, the MacBook would take a very long time to boot. The MacBook is extremely slow!!!
I checked the Activity Monitor to ensure CPU & System Memory Usage was not going crazy. All Processes where normal with adequate CPU & Memory headroom.
I took the MacBook apart thinking that the SATA Controller Cable might be loose. No, it was firmly in place. I reassembled the MacBook and booted it up again. Still incredibly slow!
Finally, after several reboot attempts, the MacBook would book up quickly and operation was perfect. I applied all updates and continued testing the MacBook with great success. Gave my friend his MacBook back and he was grateful.
_Now for the kicker..._
My friend brought me his MacBook a week ago complaining that the MacBook was operating extremely slow (much like when I was initially testing it before). I verified the MacBook was slow when I tried using it. I tried several reboots and then it would get stuck on the gray Apple with spinning gear.
I tried booting into Single User Mode, but it gets stuck on "Waiting for root device"
I put the MacBook in Target Disk Mode and connected it to my G5 2.0GHz Dual Core. The hard drive would mount quickly on the G5 and I used Disk Utility to create a Restore Image. The disk operation would perform normally and the image would be created successfully.
I then partitioned the MacBook's hard drive when connected to the G5, ejected and proceeded to attempt OS reinstall. No dice! The hard drive is not even detected by the Disk Utility on the Leopard Install DVD.
Finally after several reattempts, the hard drive is recognized, but is extremely slow when trying to reinstall...and again, ultimately install fails. Using Disk Utility from Leopard Install DVD, the hard drive fails to unmount when I try formatting.
I don't have Apple Hardware Test disc for the MacBook or Apple Service Diagnostics disc for this model. Running TechTool Pro shows hardware to be okay, disk controller onboard the Fujitsu drive is okay, but running SMART & Surface Scan takes a long, long time (which I'm certain will ultimately error out). Running Drive Genius takes a long, long time as well.
Conclusion:
I think the SATA Controller Cable is defective. I can't think of anything else that would cause disk errors or performance issues like this. Your input is truly appreciated!Even though no one responded to my post, I thought I'd share the resolution with the entire Apple community. I hope this information will be helpful to some of you with MacBooks or MacBook Pros that may be running painfully slow or may be exhibiting hard drive issues because your machine won't recognize the boot drive or fails to properly boot on a perfectly healthy S.M.A.R.T. verified hard drive. It just might be the hard drive connector/cable. Here it goes...
I visited my local Apple Retail Store and asked a "Genius" at the Genius Bar about this issue and told him my thoughts about a possible failed hard drive connector/cable. First, he didn't even know what a hard drive connector was! Then, he arrogantly stated that he never heard of such a thing and that these cables never fail. Finally, he blatantly dispelled this as a possibility.
On the contrary with my experience, I have had many failed PATA controller cables that required replacement when supporting the desktop PC's at work. I have personally owned and supported many Apple manufactured laptops and desktops and have never encountered this issue on a Mac...until this MacBook!
So, after looking at the Service Manual for the MacBook, I went over to my local Apple Authorized Service Provider and purchased the Hard Drive Connector Apple Part #922-7579. I replaced the original cable, reassembled and proceeded to boot the MacBook with the Leopard DVD installer. The Fujitsu drive was immediately recognized and was able to be formatted and Leopard installed without incident. The MacBook boots off the internal hard drive as normal again and works nice and fast again.
Thank you all for your time!
:D
