Internet issue, or a mac issue.
My friend has a few websites and they are all on the same server. But when I try and go to the site(s) safari and even firefox just load it for 5 min then say cannot connect to server blah blah blah.
I tried accessing them with my Vaio laptop (xp) and it worked fine on the same wireless network.
So I disabled my airport on my mac, then shutdown my computer, rebooted my mac and I got to view the home page, then when I tried to go to another link under the site, issue started all over again.
Now I can go on to any other site with no problem, it just seems to not like my friends server. Now I seem to think its something on my end, not his.
Note that I am using tiger not leopard, that I can access the site fully on xp, and that I can only access the site for a few seconds when I restart the airport.
if anyone could help that would be great.
* Sometimes I can see the index page, then when I click a navigation link to another page I lose connection to the server!*
Hi,
OpenDNS should help prevent redirects.
Make sure you have the *settings correct* in System Preferences / Network - Advanced -DNS
Use only these numbers.
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
More about OpenDNS here: http://www.opendns.com/start/
The numbers above are for the Basic / Free plan.
This could be more of a cookies issue, then redirects.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab. Click: Show Cookies. Delete any cookies for sites you have problems accessing.
Quit Safari (Command + Q) then relaunch Safari.

Is July 9 internet issue a problem for Mac Pro users?
Is the July 9 internet issue a problem for Mac Pro users or has Apple taken care of this issue in updates?
It is a only a problem for users affected by the malware that replaces their DNS IPs on their macs. They already have a serious problem which they should fix. Follow the url in sig's post to determine if you are infected and how to remove it.

Hi All
i have been trawling through the fourms and still cannot find a solution to my iMac internet issues. I have done a complete format and reinstall of Mac OS X 10.3.9 (to be fair i downloaded update on another computer and instelled via USB stick) everything works great can import into firewire from camcorder etc. Airport card can see the wireless connection but when i enter the password it states there is a problem and connot connect. I have tried everying (to what i can understand anyway) and teh main reason for a clean install was to get rid of any possible conflicts that may have been there.
everything else can use the internet including my MacBook (intel) fine. Some one did suggest once that DNS settings were not correct which to be honest i did not userstand how to alter them, plus if eberying else was ok why just this iMac playing up.
Please can you assist just want to this to connect so my son can upload his filming to pleople for his re school assignments.
thank you in advance
PeterOops!
Could you specify what iMac you have, the specs of the system & computer,
as that may help research or find workable ideas for you to try. This would
help in troubleshooting, or in discovering Support articles to link you to in
the course of a discussion.
I just re-read your post and had thought it was for a later
mac + OS X that would not run in PowerPC vintage!
(The mention of MacBook threw me off, as did a recent newer
OS X upgrade that may run -- in that newer hardware 10.9.3)
So you've upgraded a PowerPC iMacG4 to Leopard 10.3.9
and the internet doesn't work? The wireless router may be
using a different security protcol than the old Airport Card
can support; you may have to test the unit via Ethernet to
be sure the computer itself is fully updated. It may go to
Apple servers to look for Software Updates.
The settings for the wireless security may be incorrect,
since later WPA2, won't apply to vintage AirPort card.
With a later OS X such as Tiger 10.4(.11) the odds do
improve for connectivity to the internet.
The DNS settings should not be an issue if you can use the
internet with a recent version computer and later OS X.
Not sure how to help, except to try as a test, to run without
the security you'd really want with the wi-fi (WPA2, etc)
turned on, to see if the old iMac can then use it.
Another issue would be the lack of correct frequency; a
newer Wi-Fi system may not be set to be backward
compatible to 802.11a/b, newer ones use 802.11/b/g/n/+
You may check to see if the router has a setting to allow
use of lower or older spec connection.

I have rest my safari several times, all the internal parts have been checked and are said to be in perfect working order, and i have had the entire profile of my computer wiped clean, having to reinstall everything. now it is doing this and will stay on this gray screen for up to a half hour, until the box that says safari has quit working, or the flash player plug in has quit working. Has anyone else had this problem, if so any help would be great, casue I really do not want to take the computer in again only for them to tell me its fine.

Hi there
It's been a while since I last posted on these forums with an internet issue, but my connection is really messed up. I'll see if I can do the speedtester stuff in between the constant disconnections that I am getting.
My router stats are at the end of this message. Despite the fact my Downstream speed keeps switching between 6Mbps - 7.9Mbps, I am getting around 1.6Mbps, which I expect. The very high number of errors is telling me that my line is really noisy: my parents have told me that the line, when using the phone, was very noisy when calling other people, which would confirm that theory.
I do know that there are some works being done in a plot of land right next to the telephone exchange and I suspect it's BT adding the fibre broadband exchange in preparation of activating fibre in my area by the end of the year, is it possible this is causing line issues ? I know we've also had really bad weather and I'm suspecting this to be a factor in my connection issues.
Many thanks for any help I can get.

I seem to be having a massive amount of random internet issues after upgrading to Leopard. The first and most apparent is that Mail and iChat both get randomly disconnected and Mail often insists that it cannot connect to the IMAP server one moment, only to work perfectly again within a minute while no other internet services (Safari, Transmission) are affected.
Safari has decided that http://news.bbc.co.uk is actually http://www.apple.com. I kid you not. I try and look at BBC news and I am consistently redirected to Apple's website. news.bbc.co.uk/iphone goes to apple.com/iphone. I've never seen anything like it before in my life.
Mail's RSS feeds seem to randomly disappear. No trace of their existence is left. After switching the 'default RSS reader' preference to Safari and then back to Mail, they re-appear - with all articles unread.
On the whole, quite a number of confusing bugs.So, what happens if you go here: http://212.58.226.73/ ? That's the IP address that news.bbc.co.uk is supposed to point to. I found that by looking in Tiger's Network Utility as my Leo is still on it's way to me. If you want to know what that IP is before going there ( a good idea ), you can put that in the lookup tab on Net Util and see what comes back.
If the IP works, then DNS is hosed somewhere. See what Net Util says news.bbc.co.uk translates to. If it the number above, it's a Safari thing. If it's apple (starts with 17 IIRC) then it might be fixable by flushing the DNS cache though I don't know how to in Leo (shouldn't be hard).
If you did an upgrade install, you might want to reinstall using Archive and Install. -
Conflict with Kaspersky Internet Security 2014 for MAC
I installed Kaspersky Internet Security 2014 for MAC.
Its Web anti-virus function does not work well. After enable for a while, it blocks all internet connection.
I tried many ways, included
- putting Safari, Itune, ...into KIS's Trust Zone application
- set Pravacy for KIS control OS X
but it seems no effect.
Is there someone getting the same issue with me?
Any solution?
Thanks.Despite repeated attempts I was unable to install Kaspersky's latest software on a new copy of Mavericks shortly after its release.
Its installer failed:
Kaspersky's product may have been updated in the last couple of weeks, but given that developers have had many months to prepare for Mavericks, it calls their competence into question. It's your Mac, install what you want, but the number of problems reported on this site that are directly attributable to using such junk exceed those caused by actual malware by orders of magnitude.
Protect yourself by observing these few basic principles, not by delegating that responsibility to Kaspersky or anything like it:
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind. -
Very slow internet (Wifi) on my mac mini late 2012
Hey, I have recently experienced very slow internet (Wifi) on my mac mini late 2012. On other mac's and computers the internet is working well. I cannot change the channel of the router (what I found out to be the only solution here), because I live in dormitory. Should I try to restore OS? What would be other possibilities? Is it OS or mac mini issue?
If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.

Is it possible to activate an ipad w/o an internet connection on a mac?
Is it possible to activate an ipad without an internet connection on my mac?
I have got a macbook pro with iTunes 10.1.2 (17) and an micro-sim card with a iPad 3G data plan, so I can use it directly with the iPad, but I have to activate the iPad at first.
I have NOT any internet connection on the macbook pro (because I am actually traveling). So do not recommend to go to the next Apple Store etc.
Thank you.Chris CA wrote:

You can register it when you get an Internet connection.

You cannot get a wifi connection anywhere? (hotel, library, airport, coffee shop, etc.)
Yes, I can. But it costs $30 for 10 MB (minimal use) at the hotel. Just to compare: a 3G data plan with 3GB traffic costs $50 monthly

No matter where I go, as soon as I turn on the Internet on my new Mac Book Pro, everyone else is no longer able to use the Internet. How can I fix this? I received it as a gift for college, but its hard to do research when everyone constantly yells at me to get off because they can no longer continue what they're doing.
<Edited By Host>" how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
You cannot. Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content. -
Is there any way to use Internet Explorer on a Mac Book Pro? I have one company that I do business with that only uses Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer is not available for Mac.
But you can make Safari pretend to be Internet Explorer in some cases.
Safari > Preference > Advanced
Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
"Develop" menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
Click Develop, move mouse down to "User Agent".
Select Internet Explorer from popup on the rightside.
After using Internet Explorer, revert back to Safari, doing the same routine. -
How do i get an internet connection from my Mac to my iPad using a usb cable?
I have a Mac connected to the internet through a modem. However, i also want my iPad to share this connection through the usb cable. Is this possible? If not, is there any other way i can get my iPad to share the internet connection from my Mac?
It look like you can turn your mac into a hotspot and connect your ipad to it via wifi.

Internet Security Suite on Mac
I insalled the Internet security suite for Mac and am running OS X 10.5.8. VISS popped up with a mesage that there was a virus found on my system and 'no action was taken'. I scanned my system and checked the disinfect/delete infected files but when it found the infected file, it said no action taken again When the scan was complete, the scan status said n viruses were found, but two were listed in the log and the 'action' taken was 'Reported' even though I selected all infected files to be disinfected/deleted. I had to manually find the files and delete them from my system to rid the infected files.
This is what it found in today's (11/27) scan- 6 .pdf files:
Viruses detected: Exploit.PDF-JS.Gen
Action taken: None, file was left in its original location.
Earlier in the week, it found 2 other files with the same virus- one in my Toast 9 Titanium folder and one in my Toast 10 Titanium folder for a cd/dvd label background (.pdf files).
The original viruses it found were Joke.Rabbit in 2 files on 11/8/09, Spyware.945 and Backdoor.Generic.148842 on 11/7/09.
In all cases Internet Security Suite is set to Repair/Delete, but it reports back 'Action taken: None, file was left in its original location.' and I have to manually delete the files. -
I am wondering, does Apple manufacture Internet cards for the Mac? If the answer is no, which third-party-companies manufacture Internet cards that are compatible with the Mac? Which of those Internet cards are the best?
If you mean Cellular adapters there are several USB adapters (one from Sprint worked with my Mac no problem). I would check with YOUR cellular carrier.

Wireless Internet Connection Between a Mac Mini & a Notebook PC
A Mac Mini, A Notebook PC (OS: Windows XP Pro SP2), A LinkSYS Wireless-G Broadband Router (Model: WRT54G)
If the Mac Mini is connected to the cable moderm provided by the ISP through the router above. Can the Mac Mini share internet with the notebook PC? The Notebook PC has to be connected to the internet wirelessly.
Im wordering if it works or not as Im going to buy a Mac Mini.
If so...
What does the Mac Mini need?
What does the notebook PC need?
Im very new to MAC, I have looked through the discussion, but Im not sure if people's situation is the same as mine. Any help is much appreciated!If the Mac Mini is connected to the cable moderm
provided by the ISP through the router above. Can the
Mac Mini share internet with the notebook PC?
The router in effect shares the internet connection to the Mac and the PC, neither computer needs to share the connection as they are clients connected to the router.
If so...
What does the Mac Mini need?
The Mac mini comes with an ethernet port which allows it to be connected to the router.
The new models now come with built in wireless so could connect to your wireless router wirelessly instead of by cable.
What does the notebook PC need?
If the Notebook PC comes with integrated wireless then nothing else is needed. If it doesn't then it will need a wifi certified 802.11g wireless card.

How do I download internet explorer to my mac
How do I download internet explorer to my mac pro?
If by chance this is a site that is largely built around ActiveX controls (I think there are still web tools for registerd real estate agents that are like that - the MLS site, for agents not consumers, was like that and was posted about here often in the past), then your only real option is to install windows and use IE.
IE for Mac was dropped by Microsoft back in 2003.
