Internet Suddenly Stopped Working

Hi,
My eMac, running 10.2, suddenly stopped working with my Internet. It shows my router, but when I open a browser, it says it can't find the server. However, my iTouch and laptop can both load with the same router and modem. Does anyone know what I should try to fix this? I didn't open up the case or anything and have tried Safari, Firefox and IE. None have worked.
Thanks

There are various glitches that occur with internet connections. My first suggestion is to disconnect the power to your router, leave for about 10secs then reconnect the power. This resets the router and its link to the ISP and sometimes resolves such problems. If this works the problem might still recur at times but at least you can get up & running again.
I would also suggest that you check with the router manufacturer's website for a firmware update for your model and instal this. This software is part of the router's internal operation not part of your computer's software even though the upgrade is usually done through one of your computers.
If these don't help I suggest you consider software maintenance/upgrades for your eMac. Various software components, eg preferences, can become corrupted and need to be replaced/upgraded from time to time.

Macbook internet suddenly stopped working a week ago?

My Macbook's internet has been working absolutely fine (sometimes it disconnects after sleeping, but reconnects quickly) for the past month. Recently, about 2 weeks ago the internet stopped working. My Macbook can definitely see wireless networks, and when I type in the network key it says I'm connected for a bit, with the wireless logo on the top right of the screen with all 4 bars full, but I just don't have any internet. Skype, Safari etc won't work, because clearly no internet is coming in... I have no idea what is wrong!? My internet is definitely working (I have a netgear wireless router) because it works on my desktop. I think the internet stopped working on my mac around the time when someone tweaked the settings on my router. But surely my macbook will automatically update these when I connect to my network? Please help!?

Is your desktop a windows machine? What happens if you turn it off? I had trouble today with my apple products connecting to the internet through my wireless router, but when I turned off my windows laptop, and rebooted all routers & apple products, they work flawlessly now. I haven't turned the windows laptop back on again for fear it will "break" everything again. I'm wondering if I'm the only one, or if it's a windows thing.

Internet suddenly stopped working on WRT54G for no apparent reason. Any ideas??

I have a WRT54G v2 that has been working fine until a couple days ago the internet stopped responding. Internet works fine with direct connection from modem so that isn't the problem. Internet light on front of router is solid green when internet is plugged into it but computers can't access internet wirelessly or through ethernet connected to router. All other lights seem to be functioning properly too. I can ping 192.168.1.1 and can still access the web setup page. I have flashed most recent firmware and done hard reset several times. I've tried dhcp and tried setting up a static IP; neither makes a difference.
I'm beginning to wonder if this is a hardware issue and the internet port on the router has somehow broken.
Has anyone experienced anything like this? Any ideas/help is appreciated.

I am having a similar problem with my wrt-54g ver 8 (firmware 8.00.5.002). i lose internet connection through the router every couple of hours. direct connections to modem work fine. i have a switch connected to the router to provide a connection through cat5 in other parts of the house (which are connected to the switch). the only fix is to unplug the router and restart. once i do that every computer will work. i have called tech support at least 8 times. they sent me a replacement router (same model and firmware) and I'm having the same problems with this one. they have taken me through numerous resets, reconfigs, including remote access help to address this and the problem continues to occur. anyone have any suggestions? my ISP is Cablevision, Long Island NY.
I have one computer directly to the router. two others through the switch and a printer through the switch. all are dell machines using XP except for one which is a Vista machiine.
any suggestions would be helpful. this is incredibly annoying and tech support so far has been unable to isolate the problem or fix it.

Macbook Pro - internet suddenly stopped working.

The wifi on all the other devices in the house works fine, except on my Macbook Pro.
I was browsing the internet this morning, clicking around on Facebook and the like when - poof! No more internet.
I have tried everything that google says to try. Airport shows a full signal. Turned everything off and on again repeatedly. Nothing will connect on my computer - no Skype, no Firefox, no Safari.
When I open Network Preferences, Airport is green and connected, and yet there is no internet to be had. Proxies are all unchecked. One solution said to check the box by "Automatic Proxy Config" - tried that, not only did it not work, it unchecks itself upon restart.
Tried "pinging" stuff through Network Utility, as one website suggested. Not sure what was supposed to happen when I did that, but it "seemed to ping fine", I suppose. No error messages or anything like that.
Anyways, I want to puke because of how frustrated I am. Please help!

Hi ...
Nothing will connect on my computer - no Skype, no Firefox, no Safari.
Might be something in this article Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity you have not tried yet ... renewing the DHCP lease may help.

Internet sharing suddenly stopped working - please help!

I have been sharing my internet for weeks from my computer but this morning it suddenly stopped working. I've tried changing the password, changing the channel number, and changing the Network name to a simple one, but it is all not working Apparently the authentication server is not responding? How can I fix that?

I'm having the same problem. I had internet sharing set up on my iMac from Ethernet via AirPort, and received quite well on my MacBook and iPod Touch, and then one day, it just stopped working. I'm assuming that some update or other caused this problem, but I have no idea which (I mostly use the internet on my desktop machine, so it may have been several days before I noticed the problem). I've tried with-and-without a password, and also tried sharing from my MacBook to the iMac and iPod Touch, and I can't get any bandwidth (I can connect to the 802.11 network that I create, but I can't get any internet through it).

hi

Since about 2 weeks ago for no apparent reason, the internet on my iPad suddenly stopped working (when I open Safari, it says: "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet"), even though the Wifi icon in the top left corner still shows full signal. However, I noticed when I went into Wifi settings (Settings>Wifi) that there is no checkmark next to my network name (only the spinning circle icon, as if it's trying to process something). This only happens at home (I can browse the internet while connected to Wifi at university). My other Apple devices (MacBook Pro and iPhone 4S) work perfectly fine at home.
I've tried resetting my router, restarting my iPad, resetting Network Settings on my iPad, and tried following Hynes' instructions on this thread:https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2453187?start=15&tstart=0, but nothing has worked so far (although I have to admit that I found the instructions on that thread somewhat confusing, so there is a chance that I accidentally did not follow them properly).
Could someone please help? It'd be VERY much appreciated.

All of a sudden my internet connection stopped working.

All of a sudden my internet connection stopped working. It works for every other computer in the house. I have gone to other networks. I have turned on/off my computer. Nothing seems to work. When I click diagnosis connection it is not fixed. Please HELP! It always tells me that I am not connected to the internet yet I have full bars at the top.

Have you also tried restarting the router?
If that doesn't work, try creating a new "Location":
System Preferences > Network
Select the AirPort from the left hand side
Click on the Locations combo box and select Edit Locations...
Click on + to add a new location, call it "Home" (or anything else you prefer)
Click on Advanced
Select the AirPort tab and enter your network name
Select TCP/IP tab.
Configure IPv4 Using DHCP
Now click on Renew DHCP Lease. After a few seconds you should get an IP address (probably 192.168.x.x)
Click on Proxies tab.
Select Auto Proxy Discovery and Use Passive FTP
Click on OK and Apply, etc.
Good luck

Ethernet suddenly stopped working for no apparent reason

My late 2011 MBP is usually functioning as a desktop with external display and keyboard/trackpad, so I have it connected via ethernet when it's on the desk. However, my connection suddenly stopped working for no apparent reason.......... BUT clearly not a router problem as there's no problem with the wifi connection. System Preferences > Network > Ethernet is telling me:
Status: Connected. Ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the internet.
Dunno how this happened, as to my knowledge I didn't actually do anything to cause this problem, just randomly stopped working. Any solutions much appreciated, thanks :-)

Satellite L300 - Built In webcam suddenly stopped working

Hello,
I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 with a built in 2.0 USB camera and a windows 7 operating system, the camera suddenly stopped working since about 2-3 weeks ago with unknown reason!
I already tried system restore, un-installing and re-installing the camera driver, preformed a full scan by kaspersky internet antivirus 2012 (up to date), and I also ran a complete system and drivers troubleshooting ... and the problem still exists ...
When I use the windows live movie maker it gives me an error saying: cant record audio or video from the selected device. Make sure that the device you're trying to use is installed properly and not currently in use by another program.
The microphone works well on skype but the camera doesn't open!
Please tell me how to fix it, what am I missing?

> webcam appears in the device manager
Is it marked with an yellow exclamation mark?
Usually if the webcam software has been installed, you should be able to start this software going to:
All Programs -> Toshiba
There you should find the webcam software check if you can use and control the webcam after this software has been started normally the webcam control bar should pop up if you would move the mouse cursor above the upper display area PS: the bar can be moved to other area too; left right or bottom

Acrobat x Pro 10.1.3 suddenly stopped working

Today Acrobat suddenly stopped working insofar as it just would not start. Looking in the task manager shows it starts then stops.
This is on a Win 7 x64.

Found this by an Adobe Staff Member if this other post http://forums.adobe.com/message/4507225#4507225 and it seems to work.

For all the users who have faced a problem where Acrobat did not launch after 30 days of serializing with a suite serial number, please execute the following workaround:
Make sure you are connected to the internet.
Launch a regular CS6 product other than Acrobat or Flash Builder (for example: Photoshop, After Effects, Premier Pro, InDesign, Flash Professional, Illustrator, Dreamweaver.)
Click on Help->Deactivate .
Deactivate the application. Quit application.
Launch a regular CS6 product other than Acrobat or Flash Builder (for example: Photoshop, After Effects, Premier Pro, InDesign, Flash Professional, Illustrator, Dreamweaver.)

IPhone 3GS suddenly stopped working with wifi in only one location

This is the situation. I have an iPhone 3GS and it the wifi suddenly stopped working at my house (just with the iPhone).
I have an Airport express (latest generation) and a time capsule (1st generation). All of my devices (except a PC laptop which isn't much of an issue, and the iPhone) cannot connect to it. The devices I have are as follows: Apple TV, iPod Touch, iPad 2, the "new" iPad, a macintosh computer.
However, when I move the Airport express to my work location, and plug it into the ethernet there, the iPhone works totally fine. It seems like the issue is just at my house. The Time Capsule works intermittently sometimes; random devices cannot connect to the network sometimes. The airport express seemed to fix this problem. I have read that this problem is related to the operating system "Lion" but the network was working fine for months and months after I have upgraded to lion. Sometimes both devices cease to work, and there is no internet to any devices in my home.
The network is password protected, so that removes the possibility of neighbors connecting to the network. The name of the network contains spaces and "symbols" which I have heard is an issue for PC's trying to connect to networks. Both my home and my workplace are on the same internet provider.
My questions are:
Why does the airport express work with the iPhone at my workplace and not at my house?
How many devices can a 1st gen Time Capsule handle at once?
If I buy an airport extreme, will it fix this issue?
How can I fix this?
I have restarted the device several times (both the iPhone and Time Capsule) and it still didn't fix anything.

Using the delete all content and settings option is not restoring the iPhone. Using the delete all content and settings option does exactly that - all content and settings are securely deleted except for the firmware, which is not a restore.
If you do this followed by re-installing an app via the iTunes sync process, the app settings and any data created and stored by the app will be lost. 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app is not stored with the app on your iPhone and is not stored with the app or synced with the app in your iTunes library on your computer.
3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app is stored separately from the app on your iPhone and is included with your iPhone's backup which is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
Restoring an iPhone with iTunes completely erases the iPhone first followed by the firmware being re-installed. After the firmware is re-installed, you are prompted to restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup, which is the default selection. The other selection available is as a new iPhone. After either one, this must be followed by a sync with iTunes. If you restore from your iPhone's backup followed by re-installing an app that stores data you need to access, the data will be restored with the app. If you restore as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup followed by re-installng an app, the app settings and any data created and stored by the app will not be restored with the app since you didn't restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup where this data is stored.
If you restore your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup with no change, you can follow this by restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup to recover the 3rd party app settings and the data created and stored by the app along with all other data included with your iPhone's backup.

Airport woes - suddenly stopped working

I’m unfortunately currently having Airport issues, and was hoping to get some help. My wireless network has been running fine for a while, but yesterday evening it suddenly stopped working. I could see and join my network, but it wasn’t working. When I connected my computer directly to my modem via Ethernet, it worked fine. I rely on wireless a lot though, so I unplugged and plugged everything back in, but it didn’t solve anything. Eventually, I decided to reset my Airport Extreme and Express (used as WDS) base stations and start over. I set everything up (standard set up, Extreme with Express as WDS), and my connection started working again. After about half an hour though, my internet went down again (just like before, I could see my network, but it didn’t work)
I tried unplugging everything again, but that didn’t help matters. I decided to try a reset again, but unfortunately this time around, that didn’t work either. When I check the network part in the system preferences, it says I am connected to the internet over Airport (green light shows), but I Safari loads for a few seconds and then tells me I’m not connected to the internet. I thought there may be something up with my DNS settings, but I checked them and everything is entered correctly. I reset everything a third time, thinking there might be something wrong with my Extreme base station (I even tried going back to default firmware but that didn’t help), and just used my Express station. Unfortunately, that didn’t work either (I get a green light on my Express base station, but it just won’t work). That is when I gave up. I tried again one final time this morning and am still getting nowhere.
The odd thing is, I haven’t changed anything…I don’t know why it would suddenly stop working. I hadn’t changed any settings, or messed around with the firmware or anything. I’ve been on the latest Extreme/Express software updates since a couple of months ago and have had no issues whatsoever. When connected directly to my modem, my internet connection works fine – so I’m assuming it’s not an issue with my ISP (UK Online). Since I can’t get both my base stations to work, I’m also assuming there isn’t a physical issue with them. FYI, these base stations are the old ones, not the new 802.11n ones.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be up and/or any suggestions as to what I could try?
Many thanks.
P.S. I am on OSX Tiger, latest update.

It's always a good idea to completely power cycle the entire network after any changes or updates to a network.
If you have not already done so.......
Power off everything....all devices....order is not important
Start the modem first and let it run for a minute or two by itself
Start the next device connected to the modem the same way
Start the Airport Express the same way
Start each computer and device one at a time about a minute apart
Check the network for proper operation

WRT54GS suddenly stopped working

My WRT54GS Linksys wireless router suddenly stopped working. It is not an Internet problem because if I disconnect my router the Internet will start working again. I am connected thru a DSL connection. My router's power light will not stop flashing but all the other necessary lights are on. Any help pls...
Message Edited by nova_flush on 04-18-200702:30 PM

If the Power light is flashing thn thr is 100% problem with router. Power light should be solid green and other lights can be flickering.
Try to change power cord or reset the router for 30 sec and unplug pwer cord and plug back after 10 sec.
Remember powerlight should become solid green.
If not contact tech support bcz it may have gone bad and u will need replacement,
so contact as soon as possible before u run out of warranty period of the router.

Flash Player Suddenly Stopped Working on Chrome, I.E. and FF

As with many other posters, the latest version of flash player (fp) suddenly stopped working on FireFox, Chrome and Internet Explorer! I uninstalled fp using the fp uninstaller and attempted to reinstall it, but it would not download on FireFox nor Internet Explorer (Chrome has a built-in fp). Therefore, I did a system restore to an earlier date hoping this would solve the problem. It did not. I have also unticked hardware acceleration, still nothing.
If anyone has found a solution, please let me know. Thanking you all in advance.
Ndrei

Fortunately, I found my answer. I went into the Adobe Global Settings (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.htm l ) and checked "Allow third party flash content to store data on your computer". Hopefully this may help someone else.
