Internet connect problems after 10.4.7 update

Since downloading the 10.4.7 update on my MacBook Pro, my mail and internet browser applications do not connect to the internet when the computer is turned on. Though the AirPort says I am connected to my network with full signal strength, both applications say they are unable to connect to the server. I basically have to disconnect AirPort, re-connect to my network and type in my password, then everything works OK. But before the update, the computer would be connected to the network successfully upon start up. How do I fix this new 10.4.7 situation?

Dial-up connect problem after 10.4.9 update

After installing the 10.4.9 update it has been very difficult to connect to the dial-up internet server. It may take 19 tries clicking "Connect" before it connects and sometimes it connects after four tries. The error messages vary: unable to connect to PPP or no carrier detected are the most frequent messages. Once on-line everything works fine except for being able to send mail. I'm unable to send mail - that error message wants the SMTP server settings and any advanced settings checked.
I called Apple support and the Apple Tech had me reconfigure the Network to dial an "800" number to a PPP Dial-Up Test Site. When that worked succussfully a window displayed a message that the modem, the PPP or Remote Access software, the TCP/IP software is functioning and correctly configured for a PPP connection to this server. The Apple Tech checked the information on the 10.4.9 upgrade and did not find any reason to think it would cause this problem. Apple Tech suggested I contact the dial-up server.
The dial-up server went over all the configurations and they were all correct. During my phone call to them they could hear the computer dial-up sounds and said it sounded like the normal "hand-shake". The dial-up server has had no reports of problems with connecting to their service other than mine.
If anyone knows what could have caused this problem, how to fix it or has the same problem I'd be very interested in hearing from them.
Thanks, AppleProblem

You have been most helpful and we think the problem is solved. After I send this message explaining what has transpired I'll go back and click on the "Solved" button.
Based upon your suggestion to try "Script, like v32" I started experimenting with the four internal modem options we have in our Modem settings. They are v.32, v.34, v.90 and v.92. I tried to connect three different times with each one. The v.32 didn't connect, the v.34 connected all three times, the v.90 connected the first two but not the third or the fourth try. On the fifth attempt the Mac froze up, the mouse/arrow wouldn't work and there was a high speed motor sound. I tried a Force Quit (Option,Command,Escape), I tried a Hard Shut Down (holding the power key) and when these didn't work I pulled the plug. Then, I booted back up and connected on the second try using the v.90. I don't know why the computer froze up and assume it is nothing to be concerned about.
I then called our ISP and found that the two access numbers are both v.90. I suspect that until we did the version upgrade to the 10.4.9 that our computer was accommodating the v.90 eventhough it was a v.92 (!?!). Just a guess.
I also asked the ISP tech why we couldn't send mail. He asked if we had the password set for the outgoing mail. He said if we're using the access number owned by them it didn't require a password but the other access number is not owned by them and is used by other ISPs and it does require a password. We had never set up our Mail Preferences outgoing mail settings to use a password. Before our connect problems we had always used the number owned by them and after the connect problems we started using the other number because we found that we could connect to it with fewer attempts. We put in the necessary information and now have no problem sending mail.
We have also been looking for another ISP and the web site you gave us www.fastermac.net looks very promising. They have one access number in our area and we want to check if it is v.92 or v.90. During our research for an ISP we learned that if it is a v.92 access number (and we use our v.92 modem) we'll be able to answer phone calls and remain online. That will be a real blessing. Thanks!
We really appreciated your brain storming with us and your perseverance. Thanks so much!

WiFi Internet connectivity problems after upgrade to 10.8.4

After upgrading to MacOS 10.8.4 I am facing regular interruptions to my WiFi internet connectivity. Periodically the internet connectivity is lost and the only way to fix the problem is to turn WiFi off and on again. This happens frequently when I am downloading files at using big bandwidth (more than 1.5-2 MB/s). If I use assist me on the Network preferences tab, it displays an ISP error when the connectivity is down, however I am certain that I do nota have any kind of ISP or router issue since at the same time I have WiFi internet connectivity from my iPad mini, iPhone 4S and Samsung Galaxy S3. Therefore it should be a 10.8.4 issue

Help! "Alert: No Internet Connection found" after most recent auto update!

I am on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.6.8. I connect over a wireless router and cable modem usually and do the same with a few other devices in the household. After the most recent update I was met with an airport alert: No Internet Connection on my laptop. I turned airport on and off, power cycled router and modem to no avail. I called my ISP to renew the ip or whatever it is they do and that also did nothing. While troubleshooting with the operator she told me that based on the ip starting with 169. , that signified that the laptop was not getting a signal from the router, or vice versa. I confirmed this by using airport diagnostic and noticing that it did not pick up when I power cycled my modem or router after being prompted to do so. I apologize for the wall of text formatting but I am forced to post this on my phone now. Any help would be appreciated!

Any direction on how to reset the update or anything like that would be great, thanks!

Internet connection problem after migrating from Powerbook G4

After starting up my friend's new Macbook 2ghz for the first time, I migrated everything from his old Powerbook G4. However on starting the machine for the first time, although the Internet Status suggested his Airport connection to his Netgear router was working and that he was connected to the Internet, this was not the case, as the registration info could not be sent to Apple, the time/date wouldn't update and he could not browse or check e-mail.
Initially it occurred to me that perhaps the Netgear router didn't like the fact that the same Network settings (IP address) had been given to the Macbook when it had a different MAC address. However this didn't seem to be the case as I was able to add the new Macbook to the list of trusted devices and turn on Access Control, but this still didn't work
Eventually when I turned off the security settings, so that the password was set to "none", instead of WPA/PSK and then did likewise for the named network on the computer, I was able to get online at long last
However I don't want to leave the wi-fi system without any password protection for obvious reasons. His Netgear router is a newer model than mine and it had a choice of WPA2, and when I tried this and did likewise on the Macbook it was still working. Yet the matter gets more complicated as he also has a PC on the same wi-fi network and this would not accept the WPA2 setting on the router and I could not get online with the PC
I dont understand why WPA2 worked on the Macbook but WPA didn't and I need to find a password setting that works for both computers. I don't really understand the WEP option as the encryption choices are 64 and 128 but there's no 64 on the Macbook. More importantly I don't have the foggiest how to get a desired password, as when you put in a "passphrase' and click "generate" the router produces four different keys which are all decidedly impossible to remember and so totally impractical if you need to use these to log on.
I appreciate that this is a bit of a confusing query but if anyone can offer any assistance., I would be extremely grateful, as after all the time it took me today to suss out actually getting his new Macbook online, I am loathe to mess around without really knowing what I am doing and so I need to find a security option that can be used by the Macbook, his older Powerbook and a PC running Windows XP
With my utmost thanks in advance for any help you can offer, but please bear in mind I'm a bit of a techno-nincompoop so please be gentle with me
Many thanks
Bernard

Thanks a million for bothering to reply, it's very much appreciated. I rarely seem to get much success when I try searching in Apple support but I guess that must be because I choose the wrong search terms.
Since all the equipment is relatively new and quite high spec, I believe I should be able to use the WPA format and it's a matter of finding an arrangement that works with both the PC and the Macs. What I don't understand is why the Macbook appeared to be connected to the internet with a WPA password, but wouldn't in fact get online, until I either changed to no password, or to WPA2?
However I'm extremely grateful to you because those docs all proved well worth reading, if only so I might understand some of the technical gobbledigook (the avoidance of which was one of the principal reasons I became a Mac evangelist in the first place), as the whole password encryption thing has always been a complete mystery to me, hence for my own wi-fi set-up, I long ago settled for hiding the network and turning on the trusted devices access control, just to avoid having to deal with any of this technobabble. However my mate wants people to be able to log on to his network if they turn up with a laptop, but at the same time prevent totally open access to his internet connection to all and sundry, so this is not an option.
What really bugs me is that the interface for the Netgear modem/router (and any other router I've had experience with) never seems to work properly on an Apple, no matter what browser I use and having sold his family on the whole Apple experience, it's usually a bit embarrassing to have to squeeze my mercifully narrow backside into a baby's chair in order to use their PC to resolve any router issues (as the PC is only there for the kids to play games). But invariably it's only by using the browser interface on the PC that all the various options seem to work
Again much appreciate you going to the bother and the fact that there is relevant stuff in the support library leads me to believe I should attempt to find some more details which might resolve the WPA difficulties I've experienced with the new Macbook.
Meanwhile, although I am not so keen on the new glossy screen on the Macbook (I'm amazed you can't have the option of a matt one unless you get a bigger Macbook Pro), you've no idea how envious I am having to set up his new toy when I can't afford one myself. Mind you, the last time I told this bloke that if he wanted decent support for his iPod, he'd have to buy me one, he returned from the US with a 60gb model to match his (sadly pre-video iPods), so perhaps I should make matters more complicated by installing Boot Camp and Windows, so that I have to tell him that I can't offer support over the phone without one of my own
Kind Regards
Bernard

Wi-fi internet connection problem after waking from sleep

hi, i have a macbook pro 5,4 running 10.6.8 OS and i have a wireless issue. whenever the laptop is awkoen from sleep it will take about ~60 seconds to connect to the internet. The wifi indicates that it is connected to my home wifi almost immediately but there is just no internet. Google chrome reports that it is sending a request or redirecting in which it eventually fails to load page. this is very annoying having to wait a minute for my internet to work. i have tried downgrading my wireless card driver/extension to older 10.6.4 as i read there was a wireless issue from 10.6.5 up, but this did not fix the problem. i have also tried changing channels and settings on wireless router with no effect. i do not have any connection issues once the internet connection is established. please help. thanks!

Have you tried it with a different mouse? I'm no expert, but you might want to find out, if the problem is mouse-specific.

Connection problems after 10.7.5 update

After updating my mid-2010 MacBookPro from 10.7.4 to 10.7.5 my network connectivity is severely compromised.
What happens is that I can't get an external IP from the modem/router.
This occurs at home (where other devices are able to connect properly) and at work,
does not occur whet booting Wind*ws 7 through Bootcamp (only tried at work so far),
and both through ethernet and wifi.
I blame the DHCP and I think the problem is that my mac is not able to get proper settings for 'subnet mask'.
When set manually at home to values that I know they work, and after rebooting the mac and the modem/router 3-4 times (and some voodoo magic)
I got lucky yesterday, only to see the problem coming back today.
Anyone gets the same/ has any suggestions?
I reinstalled from 'client combo' but still the same.
My second to last option seems to restore 10.7.4 from TimeMachine.
My last to update to 10.8.2.
Thanks,
Vassilis

It appears that this is not an uncommon problem:

Acura USB Connection Problems After iOS 8.2 Update

I have a 2014 Acura MDX and prior to the iOS 8.2 update, I could play music either via Bluetooth or the USB connection through the iPod "source" (though the USV connection had far superior sound). After the update, the USB connection doesn't work anymore. Same cables used and the iPhone picks up a charge so it is not a bad connection. Anyone else having the same issue?

this happens also to me. Opel Astra / GM version in Europe.
8.2 totally killed audio via USB cable. Connecting results in "no supported audio files found"

Internet connection problems with OSX 10.10.3

Does anyone else have very bad Internet connection problems after downloading OSX 10.101.3? Does anyone have a solution? P.S. What do you think of PHOTOS, after Aperture?

1, No problems here with internet on 10.10.3
2, No solution
3, I think that Photos is a toy. Apple has basically neutered both Aperture and iPhotos with their efforts to make their desktop solution match the iOS solution.
I am currently looking for a non-Apple solution for my photographic needs since Photos in no way shape or form is able to fill my needs.

OSX Mavericks having internet connection problems.

Just updated to OSX Mavericks on my early 2011 MacBook Pro, and it's having internet connection problems. I'm using wi-fi, and so far only Firefox and Mail will connect. All other programs (such as iTunes and App Store) won't establish a connection. This is a problem that only started after I installed Mavericks. What can I do to fix this? Thanks in advance.

App Store / iTunes Store relies on Safari settings if you can't access secure sites from Safari then they won't work... Reset Safari and make sure Block Cookies Setting is not set to Always. You can also try to create a new user and see if it works there to help isolate the issue.

RG54G2 Wireless Router Internet Connection Problem

Hi,
(apologies for the long message - trying to cover all details - summary: wireless router often drops internet connection)
I recently bought an RG54G2 Wireless Router, a CB54G2 PCMCIA Wireless card and a D-Link GWL-630 PCMCIA Wireless card. In addition to two laptops connected to the wireless router WLAN, I have two PCs (one Win WP Pro SP 1 and one Win98SE) connected to the router via wired LAN. I also have a SurfBoard SB3100 Cable Modem connected to the WAN port (this connects to my ISP - Optusnet (Australia) via DHCP).
The problem I have is that the internet connection is disconnected many times a day (often every few minutes, sometimes an hour or so). I am able to reconnect by resetting the wireless router via the wireless router configuration page. When the internet is disconnected I am still able to access the computers on the LAN/WLAN (via Windows Explorer and Ping), I am also able to ping the router and the Cable Modem, but nothing outside of the cable modem.
Also, when the internet is disconnected the System Status page indicates that the router is still connected to the internet, and the Diagnostics page passes the Test Connection test, though no external pings work.
I did not have this problem when the cable modem was connected directly to the Win98SE PC (and other PCs via ICS).
I have disabled the WLAN and the problem still exists with only the wired LAN.
I have changed numerous settings in the wireless router config page with no success (eg disabling DHCP and setting each IP address, minimising LAN and WLAN speeds to 10 and 11MBps plus others).
I have upgraded the wireless router firmware to R1.0.6.0 (no change to the problem).
Searching on Google I have found several other cases of routers with unstable internet connections (none refering to the MSI routers), but none had solutions that helped my situation (most replies suggested updating the firmware).
Any suggestions of how to make the router internet connection stable?
Thanks,
Mike

maybe this is the FIX 4 wireles router internet connection problem
please let me know if any one fix the problem with this tips
thankz

Subject: SOLUTION to my router loosing connection to Windows XP
Reply | Reply to Author | Forward | Print | Individual Message | Show original | Report Abuse
I am happy to report that after 8 days of constant battles, reboots, phone
calls, cable pulling, router changing, it seems that I finally have found a
combination that has had me using Verizon DSL account for over 12 hours so
far without any kind of interruptions.
Since so many of you tried giving me comments and suggestions, I felt that
it is necessary for me to post this here so that the next person will not
(hopefully) need to go through this hell as I did!
My original problem was that when after I purchased a D-Link Wireless Router
DI-624, I would get disconnected from Verizon DSL at least once every 2
hours or so. My internet access would "freeze" and then a little popup box
at the bottom right system tray would tell me that the "LAN cable has been
unplugged". After about a minute or so, my internet connection would be
back working This was NEVER happening during the 2+ years I was using my
Westell modem alone (running in router mode).
Please keep in mind: The problem I was having was not wireless related as
it was happening to the desktop computer to which the router/westell was
connected to!
During these last 8 days, I tried: one DI-624 wireless router, two Netgear
614v3 routers and two Linksys WRT54G v.2 routers. In addition, I received a
brand new Westell 2200 modem from Verizon. I also tried about four
different CAT-5 cables. Here is the final outcome:
I have the Linksys WRT54G (version 2) wireless router connected to the
Netgear Fast Ethernet FA310TX network card in Auto-Sense mode (using the
built-in XP drivers, as Netgear told me that there was never a newer
revision released). I have DISABLED the built-in 3Com Gigabit LOM (3C940)
network card (via the ASUS P4C800 Deluxe motherboard BIOS), DISABLED the
Zero Wireless Configuration service, and have put in the IP/Gateway/DNS
address numbers inside my Windows XP Network Connections | LAN setup. My
operating system is Windows XP Pro SP1 and the modem is a Westell 2200
configured as bridge only.
If my situation continues to be stable, I *might* try to go back to the 3Com
built-in card (disable any power management) and then re-enabling the Zero
Wireless Configuration services. But in reality, I am happy with the way
things are and have already spent enough time trying to get my router to
work with Verizon DSL without having it drop connections!
Now, the next step will be setting up the WIRELESS part of this. I don't
even yet have a laptop with me on the premises, but the 802.11g card that I
already have is the D-Link DWL-G650. I hope and assume that this will work
okay with the Linksys...
One thing I must say is that I never realized that how many problems other
users are having. I would have thought that since 802.11x has been around
in the mainstream by now 2+ years, that things would have been much more
"system friendlier". And again, my issues were not even WIRELESS related.
All 3 tech supports were not really helpful, as none of them realized that
the problem is somehow between the router and Windows XP (Ethernet card?)
loosing a connection, which of course results in Verizon DSL loosing the
connection also.
One other comment about the Netgear 614 v.3 router: A number of people have
responded to tell me that they have had this random "router resetting"
happen to them (where the routers behaves as if someone turned the power off
and then back on, and the lights flash) just as if you first turn it on). I
was lucky to witness it myself during one of the "disconnects" that I had.
This was actually the reason why I went back to try the Linksys one more
time. So, I would definitely recommend staying way from this 614 (version
3) model.
Once again - THANK YOU everyone!

Is there any fix for the bluetooth connectivity issue after most recent OS update?

Seems to be a common problem particularly with bluetooth headseat connectivity. Any ideas?

There is no bluetooth connectivity issue after the recent OS update. There may be a problem with your phone, which may or may not be related to the update. A "common problem" looks like this in the forums:
I haven't seen any threads on BlueTooth with over 1.4 million views and over 12,000 replies, or even any vaguely close. For any problem that someone has there is bound to be someone else amoung 150 million users who have it. That doesn't make it a "common problem."
If you tell us what the problem is specifically and what you have done so far to try to resolve it someone can probably help you.
