Internet Connection Isuues only on iBook G4
So I've noticed in the past two days my iBook G4 running Mac OSX Leopard is not connecting to my wireless internet at home. The name of the network appears in the drop down airport menu at the top of the screen, yet when I select it nothing happens. (No check mark, no black bars in airport picture, no error message). However, when I can use this network to connect to my iPod touch perfectly fine. The firewall is set to allow all incoming connections, and I've tried restarting both my laptop and the router but nothing works. Please get back with help as soon as you can. Thanks.
Maybe try and add a new location, deleting the old, reset your ABS if that's what you have, and are all your ethernet plugs good? IE: plugged into wireless router/modem. Anyway, that and Airport Admin utility, once again if that is what you use, rescan. You didn't list your hardware.

Problems sharing internet connection - works only one way...
hey all,
i'm having a problem sharing my internet connection between our "new" iBook G4 and "old" iMac G5. (both machines are running 10.4.10.) i've seen several posts here that seem related, but no answers that have worked in my case.
here's the gist:
ideally, i'd like share the internet connection from the iMac (from our cable modem) to the iBook over the airport. so, i've set up the iMac to do this under "sharing" in system preferences. i then set up the iBook to connect to this new wireless network. under "network status", it says the iBook is connected to the iMac's network, but that the iBook doesn't have its own IP address, so it can't connect to the internet.
oddly, when i reverse the process - i.e. plug the modem into the iBook and share the connection over the airport to the iMac - it works fine. the iMac gets its own IP address and can see the internet.
a friend suggests that somehow the iBook is set up to distribute IP addresses as a router, but the iMac isn't. fine. but, i don't know how to make changes to that function.
any thoughts?well, it's taken all day - many, many attempts. but i've finally found something that worked. the answer was burried in the middle of this guy's blog page:
http://www.tuaw.com/2007/03/26/how-to-using-your-mac-as-a-nat-router/
he says:
"I've turned off DHCP and set the address to: 192.168.0.1 and the subnet to 255.255.255.192 In making these choices I was following a hint that appeared at macOSXhints back in 2002. Once this is done I went back to the Internet tab of Sharing Preference Pane, select en4 and start it.
"Now on my other device (in this case a Xbox 360) I set it up as follows:
"IP address: 192.168.0.2 subnet: 255.255.255.192 (this is the same subnet of the en4 USB interface, above) gateway/router: 192.168.0.1 (this is the address of the en4 interface) DNS: 192.168.2.1
"(here's where the voodoo comes in, I have no idea why this DNS setting works. You would think it should be 192.168.0.1, or even the DNS server of my ISP, but those simply do not work. I suspect that it has something to do with sharing over Airport as well).
"I've also found that this will only work properly if Internet Sharing is active for my Airport interface. If I turn off the Airport interface (en1), the wired interface (en4) also dies. With these settings in place, everything seems to work properly. Keep in mind you may also need to enable certain services (which will vary with your application) in the Services tab of the Sharing Pane:"
i wasn't trying to solve quite the same problem he was, but by manually inputting the IP addresses, etc, that he did, as well as randomly enabling other "sharing" options (FTP access, etc) which seemed unrelated to internet sharing, it finally worked.
can anyone explain what this is about? it all seems pretty cryptic to me. i'm not sure what i even did...
no complaints, but it would be interesting to know.
thanks! -
Help! No "Internet Connect" application on my iBook??
Hi, I'm new to the forums. I have a Macbook Pro running 10.4.11 and wanted to set up my old iBook, which is still running 10.2.8, for my son. I haven't used it in a long time, but when I did I was able to get online with no problem. Now, I couldn't connect to the internet after trying everything I knew, and in checking I couldn't find the internet connection application on the iBook! Maybe I deleted it somehow? I can't imagine doing that, but anyway...I tried copying the application from my Macbook Pro, but got an error message when I tried to use it on the ibook saying it wasn't compatible, which isn't surprising.
What is my best option here? Is there a way to locate this application on the Mac OS disks I have for 10.2 without having to wipe the old machine clean and start over from scratch replacing the entire OS? Can I download the appropriate internet connect from the Apple support site somewhere?
I'm not much of a techie, but if you use small words I think I can understand whatever you tell me I should try!Thanks for the help--here's as far as I was able to progress, which still has me unable to access the internet from the iBook:
Using Pacifist, I was only able to find an "internet connect" option on my 10.2 update disk. I installed it. An option named internet connect does now show up. However, when I click on it, it seems to initiate a process to open something (as evidenced by a frantically jumping up and down icon in the dock, I'm sure you know what I mean by that), but then that icon disappears and nothing happens.
Incidentally, I tried sharing my wireless internet connection from my Macbook Pro to the iBook, and although the new connection appeared in my airport dropdown list on the iBook , when I tried repeatedly to connect using the password I had just created, I got an error message saying it was unable to connect to the network. The computers were sitting side-by-side at the time, and the router to the wireless network was literally about 10 feet away, if that. Also, if this means anything at this point, the airport status on the iBook shows no bars at all.
Sorry to be so difficult! -
Having updated all my iOS devices to iOS 8.0 I now need to update xCode to match. I've tried several times, and on each occasion have received an "unknown error -50" message after getting about 500Mb. After this my internet connection appears to be fully occupied, and the only fix appears to be a reboot of both the iMac (2.5GHx Core i5, 4Gb RAMm OS X 10.9.5) and the router (Netgear DG834 v5, firmware 1.6.01.34) At first I thought that the error had not stopped the download, but after waiting for 30 minutes the connection was still unresponsive, though traffic was indicated as passing through but the router status page, and no additional content had been added to the download. Anyone else having a similar problem and different ideas as to fixing it?
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
Re-post: iMac with Mavericks loses internet connection (browsers only)
I posted this question a while ago. Noone answered. I'll try again since this is now becoming VERY annoying...
I have a very strange issue. My 21.5" mid 2011 iMac with Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9 has, since upgrading to 10.9 (and now 10.9.1), started to lose its internet connection from time to time (once a day).
It has full access to the entire local network AND the VM Ware Fusion Windows XP running on the same machine has full internet access. I can use apps like Skype - but no browser. I have Safari, Firefox and Opera installed - they cannot access ANY web site what so ever. App Store does not work.
The only way to restore the connection is to reboot the computer.
- Re-starting the browsers does not help
- Changing from Ethernet to WiFi does not help
- Re-arranging the connections in Network Settings does not help
- Renewing DHCP does not help
- Setting the IP-address manually to something else does not help
- Deleting the network in Network Settings does not help
- Deleting the files "NetworkInterfaces.plist" and "preferences.plist" does not help
- It is not a sleep issue. Sleep mode is OFF
- It is not a DNS issue
- The Mac OS X Firewall is OFF
- The network settings for Max OS X and the virtual Win XP are identical except the local IP-address
Please, someone, HELP ME!!Here I'm having the same trouble... Exactly the same!
It's not a DNS problem, nor connection. All other apps still has internet connection, I can ping any domain, etc. But Chrome, Safari and Firefox are completely offline. It's terrible, because I'm always working and then I need to reboot to have internet on browsers again... -
I was updating my iphone 3gs. I lost internet connection when my went to restart (I forgot I was using hotspot). Now when I connect my phone to finish, the only option it gives me is to restore. I don't want to do this. I have disconnected and restarted phone and macbook pro. Software is up to date. What can I do?
If the only option is giving is to restore or has a connect to itunes logo - then that is the only option you have. You may need to put it in forced recovery mode in order to restore. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808?viewlocale=en_US
Once restored you can restore from a backup or sign into icloud in order to recover any contacts, etc that you had on the phone previously. If you are still missing contacts, which is usually one of the most important things on a phone than make sure you have added any and all email accounts you previously had on the phone. -
I was lately downlaoding a 700mb file, but i lost the internet connection and only 635mb was downloaded and i have the .part file but the download menu says that download failed so i cant click resume, is their any way that i can continue dowlaoding the file without the need redownloading from the beginning?
I do not know if your file can be recovered. But I may be able help you to recreate it with ease. If you will settle for a composite where all image are re-sized for a particular tile size and virtually cropped to its aspect ratio. However all source image need be gathered into a folder to use my script process. Paste Image Roll Script and Picture Package Support Link http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/PasteImageRoll.jsx

Is there anyway i can put a stop to emails between a set period of time say 10pm - 6am without turning off internet connection.
The only ways in iOS would be to stop using push mail or timed fetch mail and switch the account(s) to manual fetch. That way, you only get mail when you open the mail app. to use it.
Or, you could selectively disable wifi and cellular data - voice calls and SMS texts would still come through then.
Other than that, I cannot think of a way to selectively disable email by itself. -
Wireless internet connection is down from macbooks only. When try to connect wirelessly, macbook ask for PPPoE use name and password which I type and nothing happens ... macbook keeps asking for both but cannot connect/
I am unable to connect wireless with macbooks only but it's ok with an ethernet cable from macbook to timecapsule. Macbooks also access time capsule for backups wireless without a problem.
Also it's ok to connect to the internet wirelessly with windows based notebooks.
Hardware: 2T Timecapsule, Macbook 15, MacbookAir 11, 2 Sony Vaios. Both macbooks are running OSx 10.6.8 - All lastest firmware is installed.
I have turn off and on timpecapsule and modem. And downloaded lastes firmaware. Network has been working ok for at leat 30 days since I boiugth time capsule
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
AndyWelcome to the discussion area!
Just a hunch. The Sony and iBook may not be able to handle WPA2 Personal Security, which is the default Security setting of the Time Capsule.
Open AirPort Utility, click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Change the setting for Wireless Security to WPA/WPA2 Personal
Update to save settings
Any luck? -
Having trouble connecting to internet at home only, no problems elsewhere
I have tried searching the forums and can't find anything exactly comparable. I have a newer MacBook (purchased within a few months) but the same problem happened with my old Powerbook G4, too. I cannot always connect to the internet on my home network. The other computers on the network work fine, I have full bars on my airport status, green lights on the router, etc but I keep getting the error message that my computer isn't connected to the internet. The only thing that seems to get it to connect is to restart my computer. Sometimes I need to restart my computer several times before I can get a connection. Sometimes I try and try and it still won't connect, so I leave the computer for a while and when I come back and try again, it will randomly connect. I had this same problem with my old Powerbook and when I got this new one, it's the same problem. When I'm traveling, though, and try to connect to a different network, I never have this problem. It connects every time! I'm not very technical, so if you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them! I did find on the forums that sometimes people can't connect if they are disconnected from the power source, but can connect fine when connected to the power source...I seem to have problems wether I'm connected to the power source or not. Thanks for any suggestions.
The people having problems not connecting without AC power was from the last OSX update to 10.5.8, this problem has since been resolved with an Airport Client update.
Your profile shows that you are running 10.5.6... I would suggest updating you software to the latest 10.5.8 as this fixed some Airport issues.
You may want to unplug the router, let it set a minute the plug it back in.
Is your Powerbook still having these issues? How long has the powerbook been experiencing this problem? -
Hi.. My internet and wifi are working on samsung phone and hp laptop but its not getting connected to iphone ipad, only skype is coming online rest all apps and safari show no internet connection. Got new linksys router WRT160NL , but situation same. Tried reboot, renew lease, forget network, reset network setting. Pls advice
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?

I recently checked my internet connection on my Asus G53SW and found that it was extremely slow on both the LAN and WLAN connections. I checked with a different laptop (old HP Pavilion) and I get a steady 74mbps+ connection using the same LAN cable and
also with the WLAN connection. My ISP has checked their side and everything is fine.
To try and resolve the issue I tried uninstalling, disabling and tweaking various software and even tried safe mode with networking, all to no avail. I then decided to do a complete fresh install this afternoon. I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit)
successfully onto my SSD and everything went smoothly. I have now only installed Nvidia video drivers and the (only) WLAN driver from the Asus support site.
My WLAN connection remains incredibly slow (amost half what it is on the HP and my MacBook Pro). Clearly this is an issue with either the Asus laptop or Windows but I don't know how to proceed in order to eliminate which it could be other than to try a different
o/s to W7-Ult.
Can anyone help who knows more about this than me? Perhaps someone who has had a similar or the same problem because this is giving me a severe headache!
Thanks in advance to all and for any advice.

As I stated in my original post the reason I went through this process was because of an extremely slow internet connection from both the WLAN and LAN connections on my G53SW. At that time I had all of the correct drivers on the
machine. Whilst I would agree that with the machine only having a video and WLAN driver it may well not be working 'optimally', the rationale for doing this was to get the machine working with the minimum of processes to show that it was not anti-virsu software,
Steam or the like causing interference.
I have changed out both of the HDDs this evening (a primary SSD and a secondary 1Tb HDD) for a clean hybrid 1Tb Seagate drive. Once I have installed all of the Asus drivers (and nothing else) I will try the speed test again and report back.
I can now report that with a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 and ONLY Asus drivers as supplied the issue remains. On a connection where I should see around 75mbps I am actually getting around 18mbps, sometimes considerably slower. This only affects
my Asus machine.
