Is Internet Connect a startup application?

Over the past week or two, after launching Safari or Firefox, the application indicates that it is not connected to the Internet. I need to go to Internet Connect (which is "idle") to manually connect to the net.
Should Internet Connect be connecting to the net as a function of startup? Or is the connection to the net made when a browser is launched?
I have dumped Internet Connect preferences but this makes no difference.
Thoughts?
Dennis

Thanks for the help. I found the problem playing around in Network. I connect through Ethernet. For some reason when the Location is set to my provider (sympatico) Internet Connect does not start up. When I switch Location to Automatic, Internet Connect now functions properly.
Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

Checking Internet connectivity in AIR application

Hi All,
How to check internet connected or not in AIR app.
Event.NETWORK_CHANGE only tells the change in the status,but it dosent
tell if it is disabled or enabled.
Please share if anything else can tell if internet is available.
-Sheetal.

You should also look into the service monitoring classes, especially the URLMonitor class.
For example, the following ActionScript code uses an instance of the URLMonitor class to detect connectivity changes to the Adobe website:
var monitor:URLMonitor = new URLMonitor(new URLRequest('http://www.example.com'));
monitor.addEventListener(StatusEvent.STATUS, announceStatus);
monitor.start();
function announceStatus(e:StatusEvent):void {
trace("Status change. Current status: " + monitor.available);
Here's a JavaScript version:
var monitor = new air.URLMonitor(new URLRequest('http://www.example.com'));
monitor.addEventListener(StatusEvent.STATUS, announceStatus);
monitor.start();
function announceStatus(e:StatusEvent):void {
trace("Status change. Current status: " + monitor.available);

Detect wireless Internet connection in AIR application

Hi All,
I am facing challenges to determine whether Internet connection is available over a Wireless connection. Even if I am connected, I get the status as Not Connected.
However the same is working absolutely find when I am connected to Wired network.
Can any one advice how should I proceed?
I am using the below code for tracking network connection:
     //check for network availability
     NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(Event.NETWORK_CHANGE, onNetworkChange);
    monitor = new URLMonitor(new URLRequest('http://www.google.co.in'));
    monitor.addEventListener(StatusEvent.STATUS, announceStatus);
    monitor.start();
    requestLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, requestCompleteHandler);
    requestLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, requestErrorHandler);
    requestLoader.load(request);
    requestLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, setInitStatusMsg);
The corresponding methods have been set to set the boolean flag.
Thanks,
Hitesh Patel.

Hi All,
Thanks for your inputs.
However I resolved the issue. The problem was with my code. I somehow missed the "requestCompleteHandler" function and hence when the request was completed the status was not refreshing. Its working fine now.
Thanks,
Hitesh Patel.

Default Internet Connect at startup?

This is probably a ridiculously simple issue, butI recently installed 10.4.5 on my G4 Titanium laptop. Since that installation, my airport connection to my home wireless network no longer connects automatically at startup. I must select it every time. I can't seem to find where to make this happen. Can anyone help me?
THanks,
Paul

Hi Paul,
Try this:
Firstly go to System Preferences>Network>Show: Airport. Click the 'Airport' tab if it isn't already selected. Select preferred networks from the 'By Default, join:' window and select your network name.
Then click the 'Options' button and untick the box that says "Disconnect from wireless networks when I log out", in the drop down box. Click OK in the drop down box, and Save Changes in the main window.
Once you are connecting automatically consider at the very least switching off SSID broadcast on your router so that your network is not visible to others. Enabling WPA security too is preferable.
Have fun!

No Internet Connect in Applications Folder

I think I accidentally deleted Internet Connect from my Applications Folder a couple of years ago. Can't find it using Spotlight. I went to reinstall it from the startup CD, but I wasn't sure how to proceed. I need it to configure my VPN. Any suggestions?

From
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Connect
Up to the latest version of Mac OS X 10.4, the Internet Connect application provides more general tools than the more detailed Network pane in System Preferences, which allows the user to configure and control systemwide network settings. However, as of Mac OS X 10.5, Internet Connect's functions have been incorporated into the Network pane of System Preferences, and the application is no longer included.

Cannot find Internet Connect Icon

I am using Leopard 10.5.4.
I want to setup a VPN connection and found an article which describes how to go about setting the VPN connection. But it uses Internet Connect icon and according to the article it is found in the 'Applications' folder. I cannot find the 'Internet Connect' icon in Applications.
Please can someone help ?
Zapp

Internet Connect has (thankfully) been removed from Leopard. You can now set up a VPN with the Network Preferences. Click on the + icon below the list of network services to get a window with popup menu that has VPN as one of the interface choices.

Clawless Leopard: No Internet Connect!

To my dismay, I could not locate the previous Internet Connect utility under the brand new Leopard.
When forced to connect to Internet via modem, such utility let me know in the past the initial link speed (e.g. 50.000 bps) and, if poor (i.e. below 50K bps), I cancelled the connection, unplugged the external USB Apple modem (which does worse than my previous PowerBook G4 built-in modem!) and reconnected it all as the only means I found out to force the phone line to allocate me a faster initial link...
Can I get some device (not iPulse: too messy for me!) measuring the link speed when I connect via dial-up, with a reliable numerical reading beyond the just blinking squares Leopard offers exclusively under Network in System Preferences (the Leopard Network utility does not work/move at all)?
Thanks.

Thank you all for your sympathy and support, with my special thanks to A. Mitchel for his idea, which Apple Support in Spain, where I am located nowadays, was at a loss about, when I asked them, previous to my post!
This is the apparent solution. I proceeded this way:
1. I tried to install Internet Connect from my previous Tiger install disk into my computer now under Leopard. The Tiger install disk was rejected as impracticable (maybe an uninstall defense from Leopard as newer?).
2. I remembered I still had my PowerBook G3 (unfeasible for Leopard, they say) under Tiger and copied its Internet Connect application onto a memory stick.
3. I copied Internet Connect into the applications folder of my Macbook Pro under Leopard, and opened the application.
It has worked: I got connected to the Internet, with the typical display I missed so much under Leopard.
Now I must test if everything works fine through the Tiger Internet Connect application imported into Leopard.

This works brilliantly.
And so simple...if you happen to have a pre-Leopard iBook laying around, which, happily, I did.
I used the ap to dial up and get online and here I am, with it back in my dock and quite functional.
Thanks ever so much, Vic for thinking of it.
It hadn't occurred to me to pull the ap from my rather outdated G3 iBook.
Which only goes to show that old Macs are never absolutely and completely without purpose!
I am going to take your fix to a couple of the other threads that talk about this issue, help out some of the other Connecties on the forum.
Oh, yeah, and to Phillip- iStat doesn't get it, not helpful to us who are STUCK WITH dialing.
Nice you don't have to. Congrats.

Powerbook: erratic startup, laboured noises & crashes with internet connect

Hi,
Any advice would be greatly appreciated:
I have a Powerbook G4 and I have been running OSX (10.4.3) on it for a while now and I haven't had trouble until recently.
I have a suspicion my internet connection is somehow confliciting with the operating system. I don't know if this is a powerbook or a tiger problem.
Basically I was busy attaching a file to an email when the computer went into this strange dazed mode of being unable to do anything. It seemed to have frozen. I couldn't force quit Mail (or any application) so I shut down the powerbook using the power button on the keyboard.
When loading up again it took much longer to boot up. Sometimes it never got passed the twirling circle of lines at startup.
When the powerbook did load up it went through a few stages of blue screens - sometimes it even went into a second round of loading up before going into the OS.
When it did boot up I found that when connecting to the internet it immediately froze.
The computer is also making a strange repetitive, laboured noise.
It is erratic - booting up sometimes and other times struggling for so long that I have to shut it down by means of the power button.
The only two things I have done differently recently are:
1) enabled my bluetooth and had some files transfered from two different mobile phones and;
2) connected a stranger's iPod to my mac - which hasn't been connected to my computer before
Not sure if any of these could have caused such discontent with my otherwise trusty Powerbook?
Is this the end?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Hi, Warwick, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
The computer is also making a strange repetitive, laboured noise.
This is the salient fact; all else is just details. First make sure there is no disc in your optical drive. If that drive is empty, what you are left with is a classic signal of hard drive mechanical failure. Immediately, before you do anything else, get to work copying all the important un-backed-up data on the hard drive to other storage media. You may not make it all the way through this process before the drive dies entirely, so identify the highest priority files before you begin, and back them up first. There's no telling whether your hard drive will last another month, week, day, hour, or minute, so don't put this off. It will go fastest and most easily if you back your files up to an external FireWire hard drive, so if you don't have one already, this may be a very good time to buy one.
Hard drives are mechanical devices, and sometimes they just fail. You probably did nothing at all to cause the failure, and it certainly had nothing to do with the internet.
Replacing the hard drive in a Powerbook is an easy ten-minute procedure, for which instructions are printed right in your Powerbook G4 Getting Started user's manual. Replacement drives are available from scores of online vendors and bricks-and-mortar retailers, in capacities from 20-30GB up to 160GB and at prices from about $65 to more than $200USD. $100 gets you the pick of many midrange, midspeed, midpriced drives. I can't suggest where you might want to shop in the UK.

50 second startup, shutdown, internet connection etc. No new apps added in recent past

Problem: 50 second plus startup, shutdown, slow internet connections regardless of networks. have not added new apps recently. Tried removing startup items, holding down the left shift, option and control and the power button for 10 seconds, running disk utility, reducing number of files, nothing helped.
Am running 10.9.5 on a Macbook Pro, mid 2010. (see all specifics below)

Hello m4294SA,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your computer running Mavericks is running slower than expected. I also realize that you have completed a lot of good troubleshooting already. I would further suggest reading over and completing the steps in the attached article that you have not yet completed.
OS X Mavericks: If your Mac runs slowly
Have a great day,
Joe

You can't use The following message is stopping me access my disk utility. 'this version of the application "Disk Utility" with this version of OS X.' not only that my Mac pro keeps dropping my internet connection and logs on to BT Open.

After installing Yosmite, The following message is stopping me accessing my disk utility. 'You can't use this version of the application “Disk Utility” with this version of OS X.' you have “Disk Utility” 12.1.1.
not only that my Mac pro keeps dropping my internet connection and logs on to BT Open.
Help

For whatever reason you don't have the Yosemite version of Disk Utility which is 13. I suggest you reinstall Yosemite.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Download and install the 10.10.1 update.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Check that you have the current version of Disk Utility.

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.

I receive the error, "No Internet Connection" and my Adobe Creative applications are crashing on a regular basis.

I keep getting the same errors with the damn Creative Cloud application on my Windows 7 machine, which IS connected to a LAN and IS actively connected to the internet at the time the error routinely appears in the midst of tasks. I have checked root certificates, manually checked my hosts file and run the tests outlined above to both Adobe addresses.
In fact, the error kept occuring while I was on an over 3-1/2 hour call with a very through and nice representative from Adobe who had remote screen access at the time (through Adobe connect) and could see the error repeatedly occuring!
Her comment, "This just happens sometimes with this application and there's not a patch for it yet", The problem I was having with Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CC was so severe that I had to do a SYSTEM RESTORE which then started affecting other Adobe applications because Windows had erased part of the programs (or all of some programs) but Adobe's software saw them as still installed, that she had me uninstall ALL Adobe Creative Cloud applications using the Adobe Cleaner Tool and reinstall everyting from SCRATCH. She and I had tried numerous other ways to repair the problems I was having with updates not installing correctly AND constant program freezing, etc. before this taking this extreme step.
I'm a professional programmer / software / web designer, so I had tried for hours correct the issues the previous night and had tried once overnight to reach someone in Adobe support only to be told of over an hour wait time by the automation and not offered a callback.
Anyway, despite her best assistance this afternoon (and double confirmation that everything tested correctly), it has taken, so far, well over six hours to reinstall only a portion of what I need for my work and on a deadline because the application keeps reporting "No Internet Connection" and I have programs cued to install unattended. I am now way behind schedule on some design projects which MUST BE COMPLETED by deadline and require Adobe's software to be installed and function correctly.
Adding to this, Windows Explorer has repeatedly crashed after installing the damn Creative Cloud application and works normally when it's removed and "cleaned" ... and I've seen so many problems with the install system, etc. that I have to wonder what in the hell the company was thinking when this approach was launched?
I generally have liked -- and indeed loved -- some of Adobe's products in the past, but the recent experience has certainly been costly in time and disappointing.
Many other software manufacters integrate suites, perform updates and confirm licenses without such a buggy, time intensive and unreliable process -- including my own company.
Aside from complaining at this point, I wish somebody from Adobe would provide alternative install methods and / or a fullproof fix for this bug and some of the other installation bugs many of us experience. Any thoughts, advice, knowing that not only I -- but also the Adobe Support Staff Person accessing my computer LIVE -- tried the various "fixes"?

Branching this to a new discussion as the previous discussion was related to the inability to connect and download the installation software.
Rob it does sound like you are facing some connection and stability difficulties. Do you manage your network youself? I am a bit concerned by the fact that you have stated that you periodically loose Internet connection while completing certain tasks. Does this affect your ability to utilize the already installed Adobe Creative software?
I would also recommend reviewing your installation logs to determine if any errors occured during the installation process. Please see Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html for information on how to locate and interpret your installation log files. Please feel free to post any specific errors you discover to this discussion thread.

Internet Connect in Applications folder

Hello everybody. I have a question. In my Applications folder is Internet Connect application and it's has an icon like it's doesn't work. When I click on it appear such message: "You cannot open the application "Internet Connect" because it is not supported on this architecture." And I afraid after deleting this application I'll be have some problems. Is there anybody who have the same one in Application folder? Or any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi Lu-Maze,
I believe that Internet Connect Application was used in Tiger and was found in the Utilities Folder. I don't think it was carried over with Leopard, as I can't find it. Move it to the trash but don't empty and see if it causes any issues. I don't know how you managed to get it if you installed Leopard unless it was a hold over from Tiger if you just did the upgrade and not the erase and install.

Tell me about an application of world map that doesn't require internet connection, Nor GPS

I need good & updated maps that do not require internet connection .Do you know @ an application ?

Have you tried searching the app store or doing a google search?

Internet Connect Consistently Hangs On Startup

Anytime the computer is shut down and has to be restarted, Internet Connect always hangs without fail. It appears to actually connect, but quickly thereafter, I get the prompt that tells me that it's unexpectedly quit. When I try again, I'm successful. All disconnects and connections thereafter work until I shut my computer down and have to restart.
I've gone so far as to reinstall from the DVD, backing up, and selectively reinstalling third party apps, but the problem persists. Anyone else encountering this problem, which came bundled with my new 20" G5 iMac and Tiger?

Hi, WildBill —
I hope you'll forgive if it takes me a moment to get acquainted. It's been a long time since I used Internet Connect.
How are you using it — Bluetooth, AirPort, PPoE, VPN, etc.? (I'm wondering whether something like a signal delay or connection problem may factor in to the behavior...)
Have you tried logging in to a temporary, "test" user account (with administrative privileges) in an effort to determine whether the problem is restriced to your user account or system-wide? This and other general troubleshooting tactics are described in KnowledgeBase Article Mac OS X: How to troubleshoot a software issue.
When you say "I get the prompt that tells me that it's unexpectedly quit" —are we talking about the application actually "crashing" ? If so, have you used Console to look in ~/Library/Logs/ for an Internet Connect.crash.log? This may help to identify the specific sequence that's causing the problem.
Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Hope this helps... and
Good luck!
Dean
