Internet not working on Mac computers when streaming on Apple TV...

Hi Everyone,
Strange issue...
Apple TV works great. Internet connection works great. Router connection works great on all devices: MacBook Pro, Mac Mini (wired Ethernet), and Apple TV. Whenever I start streaming content on the Apple TV such as Netflix or iTunes movie rental, the internet stops working on computers. As soon as I back out of the movie on the AppleTV, the internet resumes working on the computer.
What the? Any ideas?

Same issue. Using 2011 iMac, time capsule, and Apple TV. Start streaming and the iMac Internet stops. Usually just safari; other wifi still functions, iMessage, email, etc. iPad works fine even when the iMac stops working.
Any software fixes? Or easy reset in safari to change dns or likewise? Using safari reset doesn't do the trick. Thanks.

Internet not working after MAC book goes into sleep mode

If my mac book goes to sleep or if i close it when i wake it up/open it the internet doesnt work, usually have to restart it or wait several minutes in order for the internet to come back any way to fix this problem?

Safari, Firefox will all open up; we're talking specifically about airport. It will not automatically connect to my home's wireless network once I wake it from sleep. Actually it will not even pick up or recognize any other close by networks. When you click on the airport symbol to get the drop down menu, the only option that is there is 'other'.
Once I wake it, I will leave it there for about ten minutes and when I come back it has finally picked up the other networks and I am able to connect to my home's wireless network.

Internet wont work on any computer when I use Apple TV

Sorry if this is anywhere on this forum, I'm new to it.
But I just received my Apple Tv yesterday and I was able to set it all up and use it, home sharing was working but the problem was internet on our laptops & ipad & anything else using the wireless would not work.
Am I doing something wrong?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

Wireless internet not working at my house when I use my laptop (using a linksys wrt54g2 router)

I am using a laptop for wireless internet (Dell D610). I have no problem using wireless internet at my school and in other places, but at my house, I can’t browse the internet. The router at my house has a strong signal (4 or 5 bars) and when I try to connect to it, it says that I am connected, but when I open up the internet browser, I can’t get online. The router is in a room right next to mine and it is on the same floor. It is a Linksys WRT54G2 router.
When I go to the network connections folder, for the wireless network connection icon, it says “not connected, firewalled.” I can still browse the internet, though (at places other than my house).
Another thing that I want to mention- I can't connect to other routers in the neighborhood either (the ones that aren't secured). It just doesn't connect (but for the router in my house, it connects). But my roommate told me that a bunch of people have connected to this one guy's router.
What is the problem here? What can I do to make the internet work? Why would I be able to access the school's wireless internet and not the one in my house?

Whats the Wireless Settings you have set on your Router, I there might be the possibility that you have set the security mode on your Router too high thats the reason you are not getting connected to your Wireless Network. Follow the setps to change the Wireless settings on your Router and i think this might help in getting you connected to your wireless network.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Click on the Sub tab, Wireless MAC Filter..
Make sure the Wireless MAC Filter on your Router is Turned Off.
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

My iPhone 4s will not switch to landscape view when streaming a video on Facebook. It works on YouTube and safari, just not Facebook. Help?

Well I deleted the Facebook app and reinstalled the latest version to try to correct the issue and it still didnt work. I had changed a bunch of settings earlier to try and fix it and it worked for the video to be landscape but as soon as I closed out of the app and re-opened it then it quit working.

Internet not working after turning Airport on

Hello,
All of a sudden, I can not connect to the internet when I turn the Airport on. The signal looks strong. But when I open my browser, it gives an error page. On a cafe where there is a free wireless internet that I go to often and had no problems connecting, gave me this message recently.
IP Configuration
192.168.1.46 in use by 00:18:39:88:81:fc, DHCP Server 192.168.1.1
Is there anything that I need to update in my Airport settings? If so, where? I have been trying to look for that and don't seem to have any luck.
Thanks for any help.

My own built fullscreen mode flv player is not working in Mac OS

I built a flv player, it is just a normal video player with a
fullscreen mode.
The video player is work fine in Window IE, FF, and Safari.
But not not working in Mac OS X, leopard & tiger &
May I know what might cause this problem?
I m usng action script 3, flash cs3 & all my browsers
already upgrade to latest version of Flash Player.
Help!!!

I am running Mac OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite and iPhoto Version 9.6 (910.29). Automatic updates in the Mac App Store is turned on for my iMac and it shows no updates available. I was told directly by Apple Support on the date that I wrote this article (Nov 8, 2014) that there were no Canon drivers and photo transfer software that worked with Yosemite. I was told by Canon that the workaround was to change the communication method from Normal to PTP on the camera, which did provide a solution. At that time I was running Mac OS X 10.10 (because the 10.10.1 update was not yet available) and the most up-to-date version of iPhoto for Mac OS X 10.10 that was available at that time, at least per the Mac App Store. I was told by Canon that the workaround was to change the communication method from Normal to PTP on the camera, which did provide a solution.
With the Mac OS X 10.10.1 update if the camera is in PTP communications mode the thumbnails now appear in the Import screen in iPhoto almost immediately. If the camera is returned to Normal communications mode; however, it takes forever for the thumbnails to appear. I have been waiting 10 minutes and iPhoto has generated only 14 thumbnails. So it appears that there is still something not working properly between the original Canon EOS Digital Rebel and Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 when the communications mode on the camera is set to Normal.

Hi
Thanks for your reply. Actually i wrote simple applets and those are working well.
So i did debug the code and i found that when i am running the following code in Apple MAC IE, nothing is happening in handleEvent method. Especially it is not going into the if statement (if (evt.id==401)). here i am checking for KEY_PRESS. I also tried with keyDown method but same problem in MAC IE.
I am pasting the code that is giving me problem.
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
public class testApplet extends Applet
public void init()
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
editableArea = new EditableArea();
editableArea.setBackground(Color.yellow);
add("Center", editableArea);
EditableArea editableArea;
import java.awt.*;
public class EditableArea extends Canvas
String s = "";
public boolean handleEvent(Event evt)
if (evt.id==401)
if(evt.key >= 32 && evt.key <= 255)
char c = (char)evt.key;
s = s + c;
repaint();
return super.handleEvent(evt);
public void paint( Graphics g )
g.setColor(Color.blue);
g.drawString( s,5,15);

IMessage and FaceTime not working on Mac Pro and message stating to contact Support came on

iMessage and FaceTime not working on Mac Pro and a message stating to contact Support came on with a verification code. It was working on 8/29 but stopped on 8/30. When I called support to even speak with anyone they wanted $19. I don't want to pay $19 for an Apple problem. I cleared my key chain, also reset my apple ID password but still not working. Works fine on my iPhone.

There is no official public documentation of that error message as far as I know, but according to reports, it can mean (at least sometimes) that the same Apple ID is being used with the iTunes Store or one of the other Apple content stores, and the payment method is invalid. Sign in to the store and review your account. You do not, of course, have to provide any billing information to set up an account to use only with iMessage, as it's a free service.
Otherwise, do what the error message tells you to do. According to reports, you won't be charged for the call if you select "Apple ID" as the product you need support for, and cite the customer code in the alert as the "validation code" to the support representative.

USB superdrive not working with Mac Pro

Is there a trick to getting a USB Superdrive working with a Macpro?
The drive in the Macpro no longer ejects and have tried connecting the USB drive to both the front and back ports - does it not work with Mac Pros?
Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.

I had a problem my superdrive. It would play dvd's and cd's that were already burnt but would not burn blank DVDs or CDs- in the recent past it had no problems burning. In addition, the Finder would not display the superdrive. When I put a blank disc in it would go to Disk Utilities and would not allow burning. With help from Apple I discovered the problem-- The settings in CDS & DVDs had been changed from When you insert a blank DVD/CD "Ask what to do to to "GO to Disk Utilities". If this sounds like your problem try changing the settings to this:
Try going to; System Preferences/ CDs & DVDs
Change these two settings to this:
When you insert a blank CD: Ask what to do
When you insert a blank DVD: Ask what to do
NOTE: If they are already set to this you probably have a different problem. If they are set to Go to Disk Utilitiy this is probably a solution.
And
Then go to Finder Preferences
Make sure that under "Show these items on desktop:" that the checkbox for CDs, DVDs, and iPods is checked.
Try to burn the DVD again (reload Disc- perhaps restart) and try again.
Don't know how these setting changed but they did. It worked for me.
