Internet suddenly not working - network diagnostics disagrees. All other ccomputers in house are fine.

I am running 10.6.8. Suddenly yesterday without warning my browsers were no longer able to connect to any page. Network diagnostics claim that "internet appears to be working correctly". Restarted airport. Restarted computer. Other computers in house connecting just fine. Tried pinging ggoogle.com in terminal. Haven't tried connecting to other networks.
Ideas? Thanks in advance.

The OP tells us he has already done that. Might be worth shutting down your machine, unplugging all unnecessary accessiories, wait a minute or so then restart without the accessories.

My macbook will not bring up my homepage, all other devices in house are working fine.

Hello all, my Macbook Pro will not connect to the Airport, It appears to start to then it just grinds and grinds and the page remains blank. All other devices in the house are connecting to the Airport without incident, including my ipad. The bars at top right indicate the airport is on and the correct one is checked appropriately. When I run diagnostics on it it tells me to restart the device. I have restarted the wireless and the mac but nothing ever changes, does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should try??

If the wireless card or circuitry in the iMac appears in the hardware profile, then it exists
and could be used by the system; the configuration of Network in system preferences is
part of that. Also the AirPort setup to be able to find & use available wireless networks
is usually not difficult.

However, not knowing what iMac model build version or OS X system version your have
makes choosing how to reply to a general and vague question such as this. Since a Mac
does not run an iOS (an iDevice, not a Mac product, would use iOS system) what OS X
does your computer use? And if the hardware utilizes a core 2 duo or other Intel based

The answers change, depending on the hardware, since the later OS X versions do not
run on old hardware. So there is a gap between what you have, and what you said...
Even so, the general settings for Ethernet, Wi-Fi and other connections for networking
are in the system preferences; you can also choose to change options in there.

I updated from Snow Leorard to Moutain Lion and now my internet will not recognise my password. All other comps use the network but my Mac upgraded Mac Mini keeps coming up with either 'timeout' or 'user or password not recognised' ...help!

Hello all
I upgraded from Snow Leopard to the latest Mountain Lion OS and now my Wifi will not work. When I try and insert the password to my Wifi network states either 'connection timed out' or 'password and/or user name not recognised' please help...!

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
Restart the router. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 2
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 3
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts.
Step 4
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 5
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 6
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.

Hi All. I reluctantly upgraded to IOS 7 last night and now cannot access my home WIFI, all other non Apple devices are fine. I have reset, it will not allow me to 'forget this network', doesnt show the option. I have turned on and off

Hi All, I reluctantly upgraded to IOS 7.1.1 on my IPAD last night , reluctant as every upgrade which promises fixes which dont impact me causes problems that do , which I fix via this community. Today I can no longer access my WIFI at home, my non Apple devices all work fine.I have tried all the online suggestions I can find for this, reset facgtory settings, it will not allow me to 'forget this network', I try to reconnect and it asks for my password which I know is correct and it says it cannot access my network. It can access an unsecured one I believe, but that is not ideal. Any fresh suggestions would be really welcome, please. Many thanks

Thanks so much for your reply, yes I did and that has not worked either . A friend has suggested re installing upgrade, so may try that .

I can not connect to server when all other devices in house can

Why can't I connect my iPad to the server when all other devices can?

You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

Internet suddenly not working. RCN says its my iBook...

OK, this is long, and I'm not sure if any of these things are related. I recently bought an iMac. I loaded it up from my one-year old iBook. Everything seemed fine for the first couple of days, then I lost my internet connection. RCN my provider has been here several times. Finally, today, someone came in and said it was my Mac. Told him it couldn't be. He turned on his PC, and sure enough, it worked. Tried my iBook, would work for 5 minutes, then...nothing. If I disconnect and reconnect, I have internet for 5 minutes again. Weird thing was, he said he couldn't find my network info. Opened up system preferenced and network icon wasn't there. Could something have happened during transfer? Any idea why I keep getting booted off my connection? The tech seemed to think it had something to do with PPOE????

crownoflove, Welcome to the discussion area!
I don't know if you have been doing this or not, but whenever you switch the Ethernet cable from the cable modem from one device to another you should power off the cable modem for a few seconds. Otherwise many cable modems refuse to talk with the new device.

Ipod internet will not work. but my computer and other devices work

It shows that i am connected to the internet, yet it wont load any sites. It will load google. But when i go to click on a site, it'll either pop up as safari cannot open because your ipod touch isnt connected to the internet, or a server issue. Every now and then it will work, but then after a minute it will just go back to its old ways.
I've tried reconnecting and connecting the wifi on the ipod
I tried to reset network settings.
I've turned my modem on and off.
Again, it may only work for a couple minutes or so, but then itll just go back to its old ways.
My laptop, phone, and other stuff works on the wifi, I am only having the problem with the ipod.
Facebook and instagram app works also. but safari isnt

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Why is print in grey and PDF not a saving option for only one of my photoshop files? All other files I open are fine. Please help!

I am trying to turn a photoshop document in to a pdf. Print is in grey and under Save As PDF is not an option. Any other PS document I open allows me both options. What is wrong with this document?!
What I have tried and was unsuccessful:
I changed it to illustrator and saved as PDF but the colors were very dark.
I have renamed it and opened again.
I duplicated the layers to another doc.
Closed PS and opened it again.
Please help. Thanks!

Here is what I see...
It is in RGB color / 32 bits/channel
Any suggestions?

Ipad 2 recently update to 8.1.2, now won't connect to server. All other computers in house connect fine. Any ideas?

Our Ipad 2 suddenly won't connect to our wifi. Two pc's and an adroid are connecting fine. Recently updated to ios 8.1.2. Have turned it off and on, have turned off network in "settings," and back on. What will "reset network settings" do? It says it will return to factory defaults, so does that mean only that the current wifi router network information will be deleted, but nothing else?
Any other ideas?

Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds
On your iPad use Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings - This causes the iPad to forget all WiFi networks. No other settings are affected.

Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the internet by ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well.

Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the Internet by Ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no Internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well. Could the other wireless laptops being used in my flat be affecting my connection. what can I do to get connected, keep connected. Thanks for any ideas out there.

My network connected for a few hours then went back to timing out. I have not changed anything. However there four additional laptop users in my family who do not seem to be having any problems using their wireless connection. Could their film and music downloads be causing the timing out of my connection and if so is there a way I could prioritizes my computer or limit their use?

Help! My MacBook is all of a sudden not working. I can login to my account but as soon as I do that the screen goes completely white. I can change the volume and I have a mouse but that is it. I've tried safe starting my computer and that doesn't work.

Help! My MacBook is all of a sudden not working past the login page. A white screen comes up that I cannot get rid of. I attempted a safe start up and that failed as well. It's a white screen where I have a mouse and when I click the volume buttons I can hear it working but nothing else just white. Please help.

Something you can try is resetting it all Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings. Or go to Settings > Store & sign out & log back in. Another thing you can do is restore your ipod. This has happened to me but the only thing i did was that i created a new account but try doing the things above i just told you. :)

Satellite T series Wireless Internet is not working...

My router is working fine, i tap fn+F8 and it says wireless is on, the little light second from right under mousepad is on (orange) yet i have no internet connection.
And it's not like i've never had it before. it seemed to randomly go off.
I thought maybe there was a switch or soemthing dumb i've done but for some reason when i go into the little icon on the right of the toolbar (which has changed) it asks me for my ethernet cable, not even looking for any connections at all.
I tried reinstalling my router but that didn't work. I tried manually making a new connection, and also somehow tried to force it to look for my internet network.
i'm just getting desperate now and trying all sorts of things but nothing's working. i feel like it is either a major problem or a fundamental flaw in my IT skills....
please could someone suggest what is wrong, it is really i'mportant that i get wireless internet because i can't work next to the router which happens to be in my front room, next to my xbox..... which is more of a distraction than my family using the room 24/7.
thanks

The problem is that all other computers in household are working perfectly, just this one isn't. Also i have had wireless internet before and suddenly it has stopped working and it cannot find any sort of wireless connection. Not even looking for it. my iPod is doing a better job :P
i'm wondering if the LED for wireless networks being orange is significant? I've tried to reinstall my netgear router so many times and it just freezes when it gets to 100%.
This notebook had to be sent back to Toshiba to recover it from a bue screen. But when the notebook was returned to me, wireless connection worked fine so maybe that's not relevant.
do you think i should uninstall the ethernet cable or do you think i should try to add this computer to the home network? even though it should already have done that.
thanks :)
