Internet Connection through 90% of applications NOT working :(

So recently alot of my internet applications have stopped working. I use airport. My internet is connected to my computer and I know this because firefox, ventrilo, and video games such as warcraft 3 work using internet connection and my network preferences says that I have an IP and full bars. So the internet applications that don't work are safari, itunes store, my sophos updates, my software update (I am missing like 6 months worth of updates), etc. When I try to use the internet with these applications it will just say to check my internet connection or that I am not connected to the internet. I thought maybe it was a virus even though I have not known anyone I know that has a mac to ever have had a virus yet. So I went out and bought norton anti-virus and it scanned my computer and found zero viruses. So my question is, does anyone know what is wrong with my computer or how on earth I can fix it? I don't know how to wipe the harddrive so if that's what needs to be done please instruct me to a page that shows me how or just tell me. Also my macbook is about 4 years old and the version, I believe, is 10.5.6? Sorry, I'm not on my macbook right now so I'm not exactly sure as to the current version but it should be around there. Thanks in advance for any help you guys offer!

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions..
Sorry to tell you this but Norton anti virus software can actualy damage a hard drive.
Read the second post here by: "Klaus"1
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10399395&#10399395
There are no Mac viruses in the wild... it's not a virus.
Before you erase the hard disk and reinstall the Mac OS X, run Disk Utility from your install disk.
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
*(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*
If the hard disk appears to be ok and there's plenty of free disk space then do the Erase and Install, instructions here...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1544
Make sure and back up all important data BEFORE doing this.
If you are running Leopard, the most recent version is 10.5.8.

My macbook air is not getting internet connection through our home wifi It was working fine yesterday until I took the Air out of the house and used it on another wifi connection.

My macbook air is not getting internet connection through our home wifi. It was working fine yesterday until I took the Air out of the house and used it on another wifi connection. One question is how to delete some of the networks that I don't use. Would too many networks cause the internet connection to fail?
Thanks.

Would too many networks cause the internet connection to fail?
It shouldn't but sometimes deleting the list of networks actually does solve the problem you are describing. Have you turned WiFi off and then back on on the computer?

Problems sharing internet connection through Airport with a PS3

Does anybody know how to share an internet connection wirelessly with a PS3? I've tried everything including following directions from the tech support people from both Sony and my ISP (Verizon) and nothing works. Last time I've talked to Verizon I've obtained a IP number from them as Sony recommended and that did not work either. Is anybody out there with a PS3 sharing the internet connection through Airport successfully? I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks.!!

Updating firmware when I can't get an internet connection through the router

I am trying to update the firmware for WRT54G V8, but some of the instructions indicate I need to have the router connected and be connected to the internet. I cannot get an internet connection through the router. Can I upgrade firmware without being connected to the internet through the router. (I have had this router for about a year and a half with no problems until now.)

Yes, you can upgrade the firmware without an Internet connection.
To upgrade the firmware, first download the new firmware into a computer that you can wire to your router.
Next, power down your entire network.
Then wire the computer to a LAN port on the router.
Disconnect all other wires from the router.
Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
Power up your computer.
Login to the router, and do the firmware upgrade (it will likely take several minutes).
Power down your entire network.
Next you need to reset the router to factory defaults.
To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
5) Power down the router.
6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is likely dead. Report back with this problem
If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. Report back with this problem.
If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
Please let me know how things turn out for you.

Connecting to shared internet connection through Mac osx 10.7 wifi

I can't get my new HP touch pad to connect to my wireless network. I connect my iMac through ethernet but have a wifi network setup from my iMac so my other devices can use my iMacs shared internet connection. The touchpad will not connect, it finds the network, I put in the WEP key and it states "unable to connect, try again". I am at the setup stage on the touch pad and can't get any further!!. I have tried everything I can think of including creating a new wireless network, disabling and changing the sharing password and re-enabling. all my other devices still log on fine and can connect to the internet through the iMacs connection. anyone got any ideas?

I just remembered why I ignored your first post when reading this topic:
Ad-hoc-sharing can't be the problem, because when I use the exact same method without any WEP encryption, so create an open network, it works perfectly - so it has to be an error in the webOS' handling of WEP or similar...
I'm curious that the Mac offers only ASCII (key length of 5 characters) or 128 bit encryption, but not 64bit (which has a key length of 10 hexadecimal characters and works perfectly with my touchpad). <Wiki definition of WEP.>
This sounds like an old problem we used to have when Palm came out with WiFi-enabled devices. Users would create an ASCII text password in their router, and it would generate a 10 character hexadecimal string that was the true password. Entering the 5-digit ASCII code would fail since it was a seed, and not the "real" code.. Entering the 10-digit key worked every time.
By any chance is this what is occurring on the Mac? Do you see a 10 digit code generated anywhere in the setup routine?
Was the link I provided to you of any help?

Loss of Internet connection through TC after sleep.

I have a Netgear ADSL Wireless modem which is connected to a TC in bridge mode.
So here is what happens, I am connected wirelessly to the TC and can access the internet no problem. I then put the MacBook Pro to sleep, then on waking the MacBook I have no internet connection. But if I select the wireless network of the Netgear I do have an internet connection. The MacBook then at some point reverts back to the TC wireless network and all works OK. I think it reverts back to the TC network after a sleep period.
It does not do this every time but it does it enough to have become annoying.
I presume that on those occasions that I have no internet connection through the TC that this is because the TC is otherwise occupied?
Is there a way to cure this problem?

Hi Larry,
If you go to Control Panel -> Network Connections (For Vista and Windows 7: Network and Sharing Center) -> Double click on your Network Adaptor (Vista and 7: Top left hand corner of the Network and Sharing Center, click on 'Change Adaptor Settings' and double click on your adaptor. Click Properties and scroll down to 'Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP /IPv4), click Properties and make sure that 'Obtain an IP Address automatically' and Obtain DNS server address automatically' are ticked. Click Ok, then OK, then finally close. Check to see if you have connectivity. If you don't, go to start, in Run (Or in the search bar) type 'cmd'. Once Command Prompt opens, type 'ipconfig /flushdns'. Close Command Prompt and check again. If you still don't have Internet connectivity, go to Internet explorer and click Tools -> Internet Options (If you have Internet Explorer 7 or 8, press Alt before looking for tools. This will make the bar appear). Go to the Connections Tab and click on 'Lan Settings'. Make sure that you do not have 'Use a proxy server for your LAN' ticked. Also make sure that you have 'Automatically Detect Settings' ticked. Once you have done this, click Ok, Apply and Ok and check again for connectivity. If this didn't resolve your problem please post back
Sorry for the long answer
Cheers

so to get the update you can download it from the computer you have it burn the update on a CD or DVD and then install it on this computer

HT1695 the internet on my iphone 4s does not work outside of my house

My iphone 4s only connects to the internet in my house, it does not work if I am anywhere else. Everyone else who has an iphone can, how can I make mine work??

Same. Reset Network -> not solved.
Restore twice -> not solved.
I take to genius bar. The STAFF tell me i need take the responsibility on updating the system. Haha.
I NEED TAKE MY risk on updating to ios6.
As my iphone4s is out of warranty, the staff told me need to paid 1560HKD to repair.

My iMac keeps on losing internet connection. Webpages get stuck after a minute or so. If I check the internet connection via diagnostics it seems to work just fine. Others, like the iPad use the same wifi connection and never fail. What can I do?

Running 10.6.8 on Intel dual core iMac, it keeps on losing internet connection. Webpages get stuck after a minute or so. If I check the internet connection via diagnostics it seems to work just fine. Others, like the iPad use the same wifi connection and never fail. What can I do?

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Firefox are not working in Windows 8

Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Firefox are not working in Windows 8

I found this on another forum and it worked for me.
This problem usually has to do with TCP/IP or Winsock requiring a reset.
Winsock entries tells Windows 7 how to access your network services. Additionally, your TCP/IP protocol can
be corrupted. The TCP/IP protocol is a stack of 4 layers that includes several transport layers, but when this stack is corrupt you will constantly have connectivity issues.
You need Admin access to enter the codes below. Windows button + x, then choose Command Prompt (Admin)
netsh winsock reset catalog (reset winsock entries)
netsh int ip reset reset.log hit (reset TCP/IP stack)
You may have to reinstall Chrome and Firefox or reboot to have the chnage take place.
Hi,
This seems to be the only solution to my problem, however this is temporary. Any advice on a more permanent resolution?
I have also tried to disable "Automatically detect settings" under: "Internet Options/Connections/LAN settings/Automatically
detect settings".
This has no affect.
Thanks,

This almost always indicates your firewall or anti-virus utilities are preventing iTunes from contacting the iTunes Store. Here is an exerpt from "Can't connect to the iTunes Store": http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
Troubleshooting on Windows
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store for more than a day —and other customers on our discussion boards aren't experiencing similar issues— a software or internet service provider (ISP) configuration issue may be blocking your access to the iTunes Store. Click here to find out which ports and servers need to be allowed for iTunes Store access.
Update iTunes to the latest version.
If you have not done so already, try the steps in iTunes for Windows: iTunes Store connection troubleshootingto troubleshoot iTunes Store connectivity in Windows.
Firewall issues:
Windows XP: If you've upgraded to Windows XP Service Pack 2: By default, Windows Firewall is enabled. As with all firewalls not manufactured by Apple, you will need to configure Windows Firewall to allow iTunes to access the iTunes Store. To do so, see How to enable iTunes in the Windows XP Firewall.
Windows Vista and 7: As with all firewalls not manufactured by Apple, you will need to configure Windows Firewall to allow iTunes to access the iTunes Store. To do so see, the "Blocked by software firewall" section in this article.
Proxies can cause issues and should be avoided whenever possible. To disable the proxy built-in to Windows see, iTunes for Windows Can't access the Internet if proxy settings are incorrect.
If you are receiving a specific error message you may want to see, the "Specific Conditions and Alert Messages" section in this article as needed.
If the issue still persists, contact your internet service provider and confirm that the ports and servers in this article are enabled over your network.
The "hosts" file may be blocking the iTunes Store
Microsoft's article How do I reset the hosts file back to the default? has instructions and a "FixIt" to have Windows try to reset the hosts defaults for you.
Note: Some workplaces may put internal resources in the hosts file but may also use it to block iTunes Store.
To create a copy of your hosts file and replace it with an empty hosts file, follow the instructions for your operating system below.

Two part question 1) what happens if you sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? 2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 delete ichat?

Two part question
1) what happens if you sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? can you stil use AIM, jabbar, google talk, or yahoo? if you open messages beta does it immediately tell you that messages beta expired?
2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 delete ichat or just transform ichat into messages beta giving the illusion that ichat is deleted?

Hi,
It was never completely clear whether it was just hidden or whether Apple ran a download page for iChat 6.
As the Download for Messages Beta was separate and "Deleted" iChat it would seem it would be another download for iChat 6.
iMessages will not function as it is only an Account type within Messages and iChat 6 does not have it.
Therefore messages on the iPhone will not sync to the Mac. (until you get Mountain Lion and Messages in that OS X version).
Mountain Lion and it's full version of Messages will not sync the iMessages that have happened in between the 14th December 2012 (end date of Messages beta) and the Install of Mountain Lion if you decide on that route.
