Internet and mac restart

My mac will tell me that I have no connection to internet.  Safari tells me the operation cannot be completed.  Mail has no connections, and network diagnostics gives me green lights for the first two but red for the other three.  The rest of my home network is working (i.e. iPhones laptops printers xbox ect.).  I restart my mac and the internet comes right on.  This happens about once or twice a week.  Any ideas?

I know I'm in almost all the threads now on this subject, but up till now I haven't had any usable response to my posts. Am I the only one who sees a connection between these iBook / airport issues and the problems other Mac users are having lately on their systems, spanning most laptops and mac mini's, that all seem to relate to the OS in someway and are Airport based? I did all the possible resets I know of, checked disks, OS and Hardware [with special interest on my part for the hardware side of things], and all seem to check out fine. I have repaired minor issues in the software, removed redundant software [with a dedicated program]and enlisted all the help I could find inside the knowledge bases known to me. There seems to be a connection between router firmware and airport also, which could very well explain why not everyone is having these problems. Mine are also not happening all the time and seem to occur at random moments. This leads me to believe that it could be a specific combination of circumstances that makes airport lose it's marbles... I do not exclude a physically broken airport as a possible cause but I also think that it not unlikely its software related either. [when you browse through all the different posts in the other forums related to airport and crashing there is a lot going on since the last update...] I feel however that this is an issue which seems to be ignored in the iBook forum. Call me a newbie by all means, but isn't this also down to deduction and combination my dear Watson? Your views, please.

  • Any reason why I get knocked off Internet and IPAD restarts after downloading 7.0.3?

    Kkeep getting knocked off Internet and IPAD restarts since downloading 7.0.3. Is this happening to other people?

    I'm having the same problem.  Try going to Settings, WiFi and if you have the option Renew Lease, click on that.  I stumbled upon that, and things seem to be stable -- for now, anyway, but it's only been about an hour.

  • Gargeband window freezers and mac restarts

    when i run garageband, after sometime, screen freezes and mac restarts. Also, i have rum mac into safe mode. While in safe mode, when i run Garageband, a pop-up window appears showing " GARAGEBAND: Selected Driver not found : (-10202)". Please help to run my system smoothly.

    Thanx a lot, Leonie.
    I am using Garageband version 6.0.5, the version which was with my MAC when i purchased it.
    I am not using any external Audio Interface. I am only using internal build-in Audio interface. But, i use my 2.1 speaker system with this mac connected to audio out jack.
    If, there is any problem with drivers for Audio Interface, please suggest me the way to get these drivers and how to install them onto my system.
    Thanking you.

  • PC and Mac networking question

    So I want to know if this is possible and if you're feeling generous, how to set it up.
    Currently we have a Time Capsule base station between a router and Mac Server. We want to have the Macs connect directly to the base station via Wireless-N while still having access to the internet and Mac Server, and have the PC users connect to the Linksys router via Wireless-G while having access to the Windows Servers and Internet. Here's a quick visualization:

    You do not have to disable wireless to put the Time Capsule in bridge mode. What are you doing exactly?
    So with that set up, the Macs will be able to connect to the Mac server without any traffic going through the Linksys?
    That traffic should not travel through the Linksys.

    How to restart base station from airport utility? I used to be able to do it remotely
    I currently use a Mac Pro 10.8.4 and have a time machine for wireless 6.3 (630.34). Sometimes I cannot connect to the internet and use network preferences to diagnose the issue. This results in being told to restart the wireless. The airport utility includes the drop down option of restarting but is not clickable so I can't choose it.
    With my prior macbook and same time capsule, etc  if i had problems connecting to the internet I would run network diagnostics to help out. This included clicking on the airport utility ---> base station --> restart. This worked most of the time.
    Bottom line, is there something I am missing in not being able to restart the wi-fi remotely? ]
    Thanks in advance

    You are likely forgetting a step.
    Open AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon
    Click Edit in the small window that appears
    Now click the Base Station menu.....top of the screen....not the Base Station "tab" in the center of the screen
    Click Restart

  • Have PC connect to internet through Mac with firewire and file sharing

    Hi, I have a network of 2 computers, one Mac and the another PC. The Mac is connected to the internet and the PC is connect to the Mac through firewire. I have managed to set up a file sharing system, both Mac and PC read each other without any third party applications. This is working great, however, the two computers successfully connect only when the PC is turned on first, or else the Mac will say that there is no device connected to the Firewire port. If the Mac is on, and then the PC gets turned on, I have to restart the Mac in order for the connection to be established. Is this normal? Is there a fix for this?
    I'm also interested in having internet on the PC as well. How will I be able to do this through a firewire cable?
    Thanks

    Run System Preferences->Sharing->Inernet Sharing->Firewire
    It's that simple.

  • HT3986 After installed win7 on my mac pro(mid 2012/mountain lion), I can not connect internet and where can i find drivers in mountain lion system

    After installed win7 on my mac pro(mid 2012/mountain lion), I can not connect internet and where can i find drivers in mountain lion system.
    I donot think I have a install disk when I bought my mac, there is only a disc partition for recovery system.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You have to install Boot Camp drivers. On Mountain Lion, you have to download them.
    First, press X key while your Mac is starting to start into OS X. Then, open Boot Camp Assistant and select the option to download the drivers. You will have to burn them into a DVD or USB drive, so after downloading them, restart and install them into Windows

  • I was trying to update my garageband app and once the app fully downloads it says that it could not install and to check my internet connection. I restarted my internet, turned it off and on, restarted my computer, and nothing works what do i do

    I was trying to update my garageband app and once the app fully downloads it says that it could not install and to check my internet connection. I restarted my internet, turned it off and on, restarted my computer, deleted the app and downloaded it again and the same thing happened every time. What should I do?

    Do you have any firewalls or antivirus software active (e.g. Little Snitch), that could prevent the installer from contacting the Apple Servers? If yes, turn them off.  Also, disable the Energy saver, to prevent the Mac from falling asleep and causing time outs.
    Sometimes it will help, to run the installer in Safe Mode, see:  Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?

  • Why can one mac access the internet and not the other?

    Hi I have just installed a 2nd generation Airport Express base station. I have setup a network and I can connect to it to access the web. Here's the rub, only my Macbook Pro can connect. My Macbook Air cannot connect? A weird error message says (translated from Swedish): Airport has the selfapplied/selfselected IP adress 169.254.67.130 and will not be able to connect to the internet.
    Why can one mac access the internet and not the other? Is there something simple that I can do to get more macs to be able to use my Airport Express to access the internet?
    Tech details:
    Airport Express 2nd generation (just purchased) model 1392
    Macbook Pro running 10.8.2
    MacBook Air running 10.6.8

    It seems the Airbook assigns a dummy IP address so somehow it doesn't reach and receive an IP from the Express. I deleted the previous Express setting restarted the Air connected again, restarted the modem, restarted the Express nothing....
    I spoke to the internet provider and the cable modem does not require any username or pw. from the modem to the cable it's one public ip, pure internet is flowing from the modem to the Express but the express doesn't seem to assign any IP address apart from the one assigned to the Macbook Pro.
    Do you need a screendump of the settings on the functioning Mac or the faulty one? What settings are you interested in i.e. which tab should it shot?

  • I have OS 10.8.2 and use wireless at home just fine. When I visit a friend with only a cable modem internet my Mac Book Pro will not connect. What do I need to do?

    I have OS 10.8.2 and use wireless at home just fine.
    When I visit a friend with only a cable modem internet my Mac Book Pro will not connect.
    I see that the Mac Book Pro is picking up the internet when I check the internet preference section but it will not open Safari.
    What do I need to do connect via a cable modem?

    You need to power off the modem for 15-30 seconds, then power back up and then connect. The modem is remembering the last connection (your friend).

    Every now and then (every 15 minutes-half an hour or so), my internet fails. It says in the Diagnostics that the internet and server have failed. Happens on my sister's mac as well. Is this our modem? Our PCs don't do this so it has something to do with the macs.

    Hi Patrick,
    I'm starting to think it's either an AirPort card issue or something to do with the Mac OS. I have stopped using wireless as much as possible in my home (have wired up several new Ethernet outlets), and it sure is nice having Internet run at the speed it's supposed to all the time, and with no drops. Might be something to consider.
    In the meantime:
    Open System Preferences > Network > select AirPort > click on Advanced > TCP/IP > Configure IPv6 > Off > OK > Apply > Turn AirPort Off > Turn AirPort On
    Open System Preferences > Network > select Ethernet > click on Advanced > TCP/IP > Configure IPv6 > Off > OK > Apply
    (FOR LION: If you can’t see an option to turn ipv6 off, set it to link-local only.)

  • Why is my Internet connection hanging on both MacBook and Mac mini, but not PCs, Xbox, or iOS devices?

    I have a MacBook pro and Mac mini both running the latest version of lion.  I've had this issue with my MacBook for sometime now, but just dealt with it and figured it was isolated, but now I am finding its not.
    Essentially, I will open up safari, or Chrome, and the first few pages will load fine.  Sometimes I will get lucky and be able to browse normally, but after awhile, safari just hangs there and stops loading.  I can close the window, and open a few more pages before it does it again.  Both my mini and MacBook do this, but only on my home network.  My MacBook runs perfectly fine on my work wi if, and other wi fis, so I definitely know its my home modem.  If I wait it out I can surf the Internet again, but this dead time is absolutely killing me. It just randomly stalls, on both computers.
    I current have time Warner cable roadrunner, with a cable modem gateway.  The issue was happening on a straight connection.  I had hoped getting a time capsule and connecting to that network would solve things, but it didn't.  Interestingly enough, my Pcs, Xbox,and all 4 of my iPads and iPhones work just fine on the wifi, so there has to be a communication issues with the MacBook and mini with the cable router.
    I've tried messing with lions network DNS servers and tried opendns ones, but those didn't work.  Sometimes I can fix the problem for a few hours by power cycling the modem and router, but I shouldn't  have to do that over and over every time it's an issue.  I've also tried removing and adding the wi if connections, but that.works for a minute or two and then the problem resumes.
    Now, I have my time capsule connected to the gateway, and tuned the time Warner modem wireless off, which didn't help of course, but at least I'm properly backed up.
    I'm not sure what the issue is.  I've even tried typing an ip address of apple during a dead time to see if that worked and didn't.
    Does anyone have any other ideas?  I'm pretty much at my wits end in this, any ideas would be greatly appreciated

    Have you tried a simple reset of your iPod to see if that helps?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Otherwise, have you tried any of the troubleshooting mentioned in this Apple support document?

    A few days ago my G5 started to freeze up while in use. It doesn't matter if in Safari, iTunes, Pages, etc. The cursor will not respond nor does any keystroke, force quit, escape, etc. I have to hold the power button down to shut the computer down. Then, try to restart. Sometimes restart will work and the computer will work for a while and then freeze again. Other times on restart, instead of the Apple logo at start up, I get a Zero with a line thru it, have to power off and restart again. When it does restart, the "spinning gear" takes a lot longer than normal to spin up and take me to the login screen. Have been told it may be my hard drive getting ready to fail. Have looked at disk utilities, S.M.A.R.T looks fine, "verified" and have verified disk, and repaired permissions. In case it is the hard drive, I bought external hard drive and hooked it up to Time Machine. The backing up to a long time, overnight, about 10 hours because it kept freexing up and I would have to shut down and try restarting again. Finally got everything backed up.
    Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated!!!   Could it be my hard drive is dying? Is the the normal chain of events or is it something else???

    Ok, to copy the Drive from one to another, get carbon copy cloner to make an exact copy of your old HD to the New one...

    Believe it or not, anything on the Desktop uses 3 times the Resources of the Mac than if stored elsewhere, I can note a slowdown from just 30 items on the Desktop on a really fast Mac, so the less the better on the Desktop.
    DW will not tell you about Bad Sectors, it's just the very best at Repair Directory damage & such.
    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 6 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Trash old Log files.
    First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
    Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
