Internet connection. Now you see it, now you don't, now you see it, now...

If I connect my G4 by cable to my D-Link ADSL2+ modem I have no problem in connecting to the internet.
If I connect both the modem and G4 by cable to my Airport Extreme 802.11n I have problems: Our MacBook connects to the resulting network for approx 60 seconds then a small window appears, example: 'IP Configuration. 88.107.203.224 in use by 00:1b:63:f1:21:d9, DCHP Server 192.168.1.1. OK' and the connection is dropped. I click OK and the window closes and connection is picked up again. 60 seconds later the window appears again, connection is dropped, I click OK, the window closes and connection is picked up again and so on, ad infinitum. And that's on a good day.
As the AE connection is dropped the G4 connection is dropped too. When it is connected Network Status in the Network Preference says, example: 'Built-in Ethernet is currently active and has the IP address 88.107.207.224. You are connected to the internet by built-in ethernet'. When it is not connected it says 'The cable for built-in Ethernet is connected but your computer does not have an IP address and cannot connect to the Ethernet'.
I have trawled though pages and pages of discussions regarding 'similar' problems and have found and tried umpteen 'solutions' all to no avail (if I tell you how long this has been going on for you won't believe me!). What have I missed, what am I doing wrong?

Yes, I am certain that the modem is connected to the WAN port of the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS). It is shown clearly in the illustration on page 6 of the booklet Airport Extreme Setup Guide and is clearly marked on the product.
This is the most frustrating experience I've had in almost 20 years of using Macs - but I will overcome.
My new iMac arrives on Tuesday. This will have an appropriate Airport card fitted. Starting from scratch with it, and with the G4 out of the network, I should be able me to establish whether or not my Airport Extreme is functioning properly. I'll let you know how I get on.

If you downloaded the correct version for your iPad model (and the different models have different ipsw files), then you should be able to navigate to it in iTunes by pressing and holding the shift key on Windows (command key on Mac) when clicking the Check For Updates button.

I frequently get the messages "windows couldn't sign you out" (I am signed out) ,"not connected to in the internet" with prompts to sign in again (I don't) and "you're currently working offline", with a prompt to connect to my own locked wireless. None of these statements are true and I ignore the prompts (although my husband did re-sign on to our router once). I find that if I unplug the phone line and then plug it in again, it works. Strange. Is someone trying to get my password?

While updateing iphone 3gs, lost internet connection. now only option is to restore in itunes. I just want to finish update!

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.

Do you get free internet connection everywhere when not on a plan for iphone 4s does it come with siri

do you get internet connection everywhere without a plan on iphone 4s and do you get siri

Yeah but if his iP is already saying it's paired the issue is prob something else.
I am guessing it's just not being powered/connected right--I've had a goofy time turning mine on relative to
other BT headsets...
With it in your ear try holding down the power button till you hear ascending chimes (descending=off).
After it's on you sometimes need to tap it once briefly (hear a beep) and then you'll see the little BT symbol on the iP if it's connected.
Try that.

Can you download movies into iTunes then watch them via airplay without an internet connection? We want to be able to watch them in our RV that does have an internet connection always.

Can you download movies into iTunes and watch them via airplay without an internet connection? We want to be able to watch downloaded movies in our RV.

If you want to watch on your iPad screen, you don't even need airplay.
If you want to watch on a television screen, you need an AppleTV.
In both cases...
If the movies are purchased, there is no need for an Internet connection to the outside world. If they're rented, you need an Internet connection for the first minute or so that Apple knows that you're watching the movie. I do not know if a rented movie can be stopped and restarted without an Internet connection.

My brand new mac pro always had Internet connection issues at school. WHY is that? I see the school's Internet working perfectly fine on other PC's, but there is never a day where my mac doesn't have Internet connection issues at school. How do I fix it?

I got my mac pro in the middle of August. School started the week after. Internet was working perfectly fine at home. But at school, I never had a good connection. Sometimes on the good days I get a connection when I'm sitting at the exact spot in class I always sit at. It's ridiculous and it's frustrating. I invested my money into this laptop and I'm beginning to regret it. I thought it was the school's Internet, but I don't see Internet issues with other PC users. It's most frustrating on registration days and I'm trying to register for my classes before it gets taken, but again... Internet connection issues. It's random. Majority of the time, it doesn't work at all. I've done Network Diagnosis and turning WiFi off then turning it on again. I've done everything I could. I put my money on this laptop and it was a lot of money. I could have bought an 800 dollars laptop and I would have Internet connection anywhere on campus. So, I don't want to continue everyday to regret on buying this laptop every time I try to connect to the Internet at school or Starbucks or anywhere else. How do I fix this? What's the problem ?
At school, I heard this guy had a problem with Internet connections too and he owned a new mac book pro. He said something like Apple messed up on something, but he fixed it. If I knew mac book pro's had these issues I wouldn't have bought it in the first place. It's freezing on me every other day. It's ridiculous. But what concerns me the most is the Internet connection. So someone please tell me what can I do next to prevent the problem? Am I doing something wrong maybe?

Hi Kevin,
I'm using an XLR input mic which is connected to the phantom power enabled XLR mic socket on a USB M-Audio M-Track. The M-Track is connected by USB to the Mac Pro - so effectively I've got an M-Audio USB soundcard with a mic input. I've also tried a microphone that is a straight XLR to USB cable (guessing with some soundcard chip buried in the usb plug) but that also yields the same effect of bad latency, intermittent quality, stuttering and repeating and echoing (without the speakers on during record so its not feedback).
The mic works absolutely fine with other recording applications I have on the mac at the moment - albeit non-adobe ones (tested it on the EasyAudioRecorder - and it lives up to its name. it's easy)
I will try with Audition and report back, but sitting here right now I can imagine it would work fine with audition too - it just seems to be the way premiere is set up for recording into the timeline is a bit sketchy. I'm willing to accept it might well be a quirk with the new Mac Pro trashcan - I'm not weighting all the woes on premiere.
Any thoughts or am I out of luck to sit with my fingers crossed for a fix in the next round of updates?
Nathan.

Nokia 808 internet connection issue / limited conn...

Hi I have bought a Nokia 808 yesterday and the wifi connectivity has major issues.
When connected to wifi access point it is almost always followed by limited connectivity.
I can browse the internet using the browser but the following do not work:
Setting up new email - tries to connect and times out
Maps - Cannot download maps, stuck on 0 % - keeps telling me that im not connected
Weather - doesnt update, always says try again later
Nokia Sync - Thinks its not connected to the internet
Pretty much all internet based apps think im not connected
But as soon as I launch browser it works and opens all pages.
Also stores sometimes opens and says its not available in your country. I want to know why Nokia is selling a phone in my country with local nokia company guarantee and local language support on software and on packaging, but somehow does not give our country access to apps.
I have a Level One WBR6600 modem, never had issues connecting. Updated to latest firmware. All other devices work on the access point, only the nokia has problems.
I have reset countless times to original settings
Deleted access point / re added
I have tried changing access point security to WEP , WPA , WPA2 , and no security, made no difference
I think the problem is not my modem, but the phone. I have tried Tethering from my iphone to nokia and still very limited connectivity.
I have been using iphones for the past few years, and this phone was only appealing because of the camera, but I am very disapointed with the software of the phone. I feel like I downgraded phones. Right now without internet connectivity its a pretty strange phone.
Also very strange to see that the phone has a wiered VPN setup. Its impossible for me to setup my vpn accounts on it, it is asking me for some policies, i think it only supports corprate vpn access and not web serving vpns, like ALL OTHER phones do, with the easiest set up.
please help.

thanks emprazol, you are right, we are discussing this also here: http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Connectivity/Nokia-808-Belle-FP1-bug-WLAN-works-but-not-all-apps-can...

This may sound dumb, but is there an app or a monthly subscription to carry wi-fi or internet connection. so i dont lose connection when i leave my house. want internet connection at all time

I have an ipod touch 5th gen. storage capacity is 27.9 / 23.3 available. IOS 7.1.2 model # ME978LL/A. My question is, now this may sound dumb. But i was wanting to know if there is a app or a monthly subscription to have internet connection or wi-fi at all times instead of just shutting my ipod off very few apps work without internet connection almost dosen't seem worth 300 dollars. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INFO.

Your internet connection depends on access to a wifi network. When you leave your house you go out of range of your own network, so the only way to connect is to find a free or paid public wi-fi service in the location you are in at the time; the alternative is to use your iPhone for what is called 'tethering' (providing a wifi signal you iPod can connect to) but it you have an iPhone you would want to use that anyway (and many service providers don't allow it - in any case it comes expensive as you are using a mobile data connection).

Itunes 8.2 disables Ethernet/Internet connection

In an effort to upgrade to iTunes 8.2 this morning, I d/l and installed without difficulty. However, afterward, my computer did not recognize my Ethernet and I could not connect to the internet. I restored my computer to an earlier restore point, which restored my Ethernet/internet connection and deleted iTunes 8.2. After some manipulation of files, I now have a working version of iTunes 8.0.2. This is so frustrating, b/c it has taken me several hours of research to get everything functioning as it was before installing the iTunes upgrade.
What do I have to do to get Itunes 8.2 to function on my computer without it disabling my internet access? Apparently without the upgrade to 8.2, I cannot download the software upgrade for my iPhone 3g.
Thanks for your help.

Its amazing, my previous post which was deleted by the powers that be, was solely related to the problem that alot of people are having. Namly Itunes disabling internet connection, because I was extreamly irrate about the whole this I accidentally put a swear word in the post.
How is it that the posts can be read to police against that but not to check on peoples problems and get them sorted.
Seriously apple get this problem sorted, I object to having to join this forum giving away my details so you can now email me, with alot of stuff that I don't even want. One thing I would like is for you to sort this problem out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope that isn't too many exclamation marks, hope it doesn't offend anyone.
I am running XP, when I download Itunes it gets rid of my internet connection, thus making Itunes more useless than it already is.
We are waiting for an answer. As I said in the previous post, DO YOUR JOBS AND GIVE US AN ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And for the Apple discussions staff, if you are reading this, how about a bit of customer service, stop hiding behind your standard signature block and sign your emails with a name. The personal touch would make people less inclined to lose their tempers.

No Internet connection was found. Please check your Internet settings or firewall.

When I try to update I get this message:
"No Internet connection was found. Please check your Internet settings or firewall."
and porgram won't update.
I tried "fixes" offered on ADOBE website to no avail.
Anyone know how to fix this ?
1 minute of silence for that awesome forum that ADOBE was....sniff sniff

ADOBE tech "support" isn't of much use in this. They suggest me to manually update. I know CS3 is fixed update not requiring more download after 3.2, but my updater used to run fine and now it doesn't on a freesh computer install. I'd like to fix this cause this is an indicator that something is wrong on my computer.
The only advice I got after 15-20 minutes was to check permissions on my computer, that this might be cause of it.
I put permission on my firewall to all adobe program I could find on my computer, turned off UAC doesn't work; tried firewall + spyware + antivirus to zero protection = doesn't work either.
I've read that been plugged into a router on a 2 computers network can cause problem. How ? I know Adobe Updater doesn't support proxy server.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/331/331931.html
I tried puggin directly into modem and didn't change anything. I think maybe that my main computer might be blocking or filtering my internet connection or a setup in it: I don't know networking setup at all.
Maybe it's windows vista on my computer that has updated to something that would block my adobe updater.
Any suggestion ?
Thank you.

E4200 - Must have internet connection!!

I was not at all pleased with this device. It was purchased with the intent of setting up a home LAN for expanded digital storage only. I was not aware that an internet connection is required to even begin the setup wizard.
What's great about it: unable to test unit
What's not so great: high speed internet connection required.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Your feedback is always welcome. Basically, people use router to share their high speed broadband connection on multiple computers and devices (ipad, XBOX, DVR etc.)
Having said that, the purpose of the CD setup is to recognize the type of internet connection and configure the router accordingly without going through the manual setup.
Now coming to the issue that you have mentioned. Its not necessary to have an internet connection to setup the router just for the home LAN.
Every router has a built in web interface, with the help of which, you can configure/change almost all the settings on your router.
Please refer to the link which will guide you to login to the web interface of the router. http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&login=1&vw=1&app=search&articleid=22651&userrole=Links...
Hope this helps.

KDE networkmanager and sharing mobile internet connection to wlan

I'm not so expert in networking only a user.
I use KDE 4.6.1. I have a netbook with Atheros AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter driver ath5k. I have installed networkmanagement 20110226-1 and networkmanager 0.8.2-3.
I connect to the internet with a mobile broadband connection CDMA/EDVO that is well recognized and connect well.
I used to share the connection with other notebook.
But I can't create an ad-hoc shared connection.
After installing dnsmasq and follow the instruction finded here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sh … _interface
Configure dnsmasq. Make the following changes to /etc/dnsmasq.conf (uncomment if necessary):
domain-needed
bogus-priv
interface=wlan0
dhcp-range=10.42.43.1,10.42.43.100,12h
Start dnsmasq as root:
/etc/rc.d/dnsmasq start
Finally, set firewall to forward connections to and from the Internet for clients connecting to your wlan. This is done by issuing (you guessed it right, as root again):
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
Now it reply this error from the log
Mar 14 07:09:05 netbook-pc NetworkManager[2084]: <error> [1300082945.419707] [nm-device-wifi.c:1544] nm_device_wifi_set_mode(): (wlan0): error setting mode 2
The NetworkManager enter in a loop of trying to connect.
Can anyone help me?

According to that blogpost (mentioned in above post - http://lamarque-lvs.blogspot.com/2011/0 … ging.html), the bug has been solved and:
Plasma NM does not follow KDE SC release schedule. I tested this code yesterday with KDE 4.4.4 and it worked. It is just a matter of distributions updating their packages with this code.
And from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/725041 (same bug, reported for network-manager package in Ubuntu):
This bug was fixed in the package network-manager - 0.8.4~git.20110228t143901.5cdded6-0ubuntu1
Archlinux currently uses networkmanager 0.8.3-0.20110113, any chances of anyone including these updates anytime soon?

HT1657 To watch the movie (After is downloaded it) do I need Internet Connection for watching it?

I was wondering if I can see a movie (rented) in a plane for example, where I won't have Internet Connection.

As long as it has been fully downloaded then you should be able to watch it whilst offline.

Sharing internet connection by airport

My wife and I each have a Mac Book Pro, running Leopard. We have a Verizon card inserted in one of the macs which is then hoooked up to the internet. How do we get the second mac to "share" in this internet connection?
Computer #1 is hooked up to net. I see that I am using the airport to send out signal. I pick up the signal on computer #2 which clearly identifies computer #1 on the airport, and connects to that source. However, Computer #2 still can't click on safari and get on the net. Nothing happens.
Any ideas??
Thanks
Don

open system preferences
click sharing
click internet sharing
choose the share from and share too options
i think its pretty obvious once you get to that screen but if you have troubles post back
i can't remember, is leopard the 10.5 version?
i ask as they changed the way you access internet sharing in 10.5, the layout's a little different
but you should be able to find in system prefs under Sharing in either case
hope this helps!
