Is it possible to switch my internet? Please help

Right now I am using iCab Web Browser and its a shareware. It's very slow, and can't access some websites. I have OSX 9. Is it possible to switch to Internet Explorer or Windows? I really would like to switch and I am not a computer person whatsoever. Please help me.

There are other older choices from which to experiment, such as Classilla 9.2.1 browser,
which is newer than the much older WaMcom mozilla derivative...
These would all have some issues, and one of them is the lack of correct Java support
along with any Flash player or other important parts whose update has ceased to happen.
Classilla:
http://www.floodgap.com/software/classilla/releases/
Older browsers, such as very early (Mac OS) Mozilla and Netscape 7 or before may be OK
if you can find them as downloads; but each will be lacking in some important area. For those
who may hope to use the email function in some, that may not work. It may in another, if the
technical specs for email haven't changed too much, or if the Internet provider allows access.
http://code.google.com/p/classilla/wiki/AAATheFAQ
MRJ and Flash 7 are supported to some limited extent, from what I've read; but for issues
including security and performance, it is 'forced-off' and should only be turned on to see if
a web page supports it, or in known-secure web sites. Classillia should be read into further.
Some models of older computer hardware predating OS X 10.2 may require a Firmware
update version to be installed in the older OS9 software, running in the computer, to be
able to safely consider running 10.2 or later, in the computer. So if you consider that, do
look into available or necessary firmware updates and install one as needed. Then, to run
an OS X, the computer may require other hardware updates, more RAM, larger HDD, etc.
Or be on the look-out for a newer build Macintosh which supports later OS systems; you
can find info in MacTracker.ca or everymac.com on what hardware supports which OS.
PS: if your older 'colors' G3 iBook were a 'dual-USB' model (white, 500MHz+) it would be
able to run up to Panther 10.3.9 and OS 9.2.2, without additional firmware update; limited
by the size of the hard disk drive, graphic processor, limited RAM upgrade, bus speed, etc.
Good luck & happy computing!

  • MBP will not connect to internet PLEASE HELP;)

    I have a MBP that will not connect to the internet. The airport shows an ip, but shows failed for internet and server. I have another laptop, desktop, ipad 2&3, iphone and 3 ipods connected to wifi and work flawlessly. I called the ISP and spoke with them for about 2 hours and they say all settings are right, and they can even see the MBP on their end.  Can someone please help me, thanks in advance.
    Wanted to add, i cannot connect with ethernet either, wired directly to modem by bypassing router.

    Your MacBook Pro does "see" your router, so it's either a problem with the passphrase (in this case, Ethernet shouldn't be affected, but it is), and you can bypass it by entering your passphrase again, preceded by the "$" sign (no quotes), or for some reason the MAC addresses of both your Airport and Ethernet chips on the MacBook Pro aren't cleared by the router. If you have MAC filtering enabled on the router, disable it, or if you must press some handshake button on the router, first disable Airport on your MBP, then presss the handshake button on the router, then enable Airport on the Mac again.
    My money's on the MAC address filtering, though... There could be a certain number of possible MAC addresses the router can accept, and adding new devices in the household may have pushed your MBP out of the winners list somehow.

  • Hi, can I move my iTunes library to an external hardrive without having to consolidate it as my prehistoric computer just doesn't have the space even though I have deleted everything possible to make room? Please help :(

    Hi, can I move my iTunes library to an external drive without having to consolidate it as my prehistoric computer just doesn't have enough space even though I have deleted everything possible to make room? Please help

    Hi, do you know if this works if I then want to move my library to a new computer as that is my main intention bacause my old computer hasn't got enough space for me to add new albums so I want to ditch the computer (its got to be about 100 years old and doesn't seem to cope well with modern technology!!) and start using my laptop for my iTunes. I am at the point now where i'm ready to throw both my computer and iPod out the window!!!! I might point out as well that in trying to clear space on my computer I accidently deleted the Bonjour programme which is aparently needed to use the home share option, oops!!!!
    Thanks, Kerry

  • Lost all ability to connect to internet - Please Help!!

    This evening, opened my MBP 2010 and found that my networks will not connect to internet.  It says I'm connected to wifi but nothing will load, no apps that require network connection, safari, nothing.  Tried ethernet cable which says connected with DHCP when I'm looking at network prefs, but no connection of any kind.  I have a Verizon Fios router with Time Capsule (most recent version from Jan 2012) creating a separate network and a AEBS and Airport Express extending that network throughout the house.  No problems of any significance (that couldn't be solved with turning router on and off) in the past.  Of note, my wife's Macbook Air (which I'm typing this email on) is having NO problems connecting to either the Verizon network or the Airport network.  On my MBP, I get neither.  I have tried deleting the networks from Network Prefs and adding back but they just will not connect.  Is there a way to completely reset my network prefs and start over?  Do I need to do that?  How can I have one Macbook that connects to everything and another that can't connect to anything.  Both are running 10.7.4 and have similar software installed.  I tried booting in SAFE MODE and get the same results.  I even get the exclamation mark inside the wifi symbol on my menu bar for both of them.  WHAT THE HECK is going on??!!?  PLEASE HELP!!!

    OK, I understand that you can connect to the Verizon router using an Ethernet connection and wireless does not work.
    I also understand that you have deleted all of the network listings in System Preferences > Network > WiFi > Advanced.
    Please check again to make sure that all of the listings are cleared out. Be sure to click OK and then Apply when you do this.
    Next, open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access
    Look for any listing with the name of the Verizon wireless network. Click on that listing to highlight it, then click the Delete key on your Mac.
    Then do the same for any of the wireless networks that are provided by the Apple devices.
    Close KeyChain Access and restart your Mac.
    See if you can log on to the Verizon wireless network now. You should be asked for the password to connect, if you successfully deleted the old networks and the listings for the password in KeyChain Access.

  • Fully Connected to AirPort Extreme, But With No Internet (PLEASE HELP!)

    I have spent my Labor Day trying to figure out what is wrong with my wireless connection to no avail. I am entirely frustrated and would appreciate any helpful advice that can be offered.
    Here's the deal:
    Yesterday afternoon, the two computers on my wireless network (an iMac PowerPC G4 and a Dell Inspiron E1705 laptop) lost connection to the Internet. We had lost power earlier in the day, but didn't have any issues immediately after it was restored. A few hours later, it just stopped.
    Today, I started troubleshooting to figure out how to fix it. The Dell had no trouble finding the network and connecting, but it was only connecting "locally." Same with mine. We've also got a Nintendo Wii connected wirelessly, but it was also not working. Lastly, we have an HP Photosmart C4280 printer plugged into the AirPort's USB. Despite not being able to get on the Internet or restore Wi-Fi to the Wii, we are still able to print without issue (from both computers).
    At one point, I got Internet back on my iMac, but I kept messing around with the network settings in the hopes of getting everything back to normal and lost it again. I've been mainly playing around three different settings: the AirPort Admin Utility (changing Channels in the AirPort tab, checking boxes in the Network tab, etc.), the AirPort Setup Assistant (messing around with the Wireless Security), and the Network Control Panel (clicking things I don't understand in the TCP/IP tab, etc.).
    At first, I thought the issue was with my security settings, so I tried setting up the AirPort without a password, and still could not connect with the iMac, Dell, or Wii. In a last-ditch effort, I went out and bought a Linksys Simultaneous Dual-N Band Wireless Router, which restored the Internet to the iMac, Dell, and Wii. Problem is, I love the AirPort (and do not want to sacrifice wirelessly printing through its USB).
    I am completely frustrated! If anyone has any suggestions whatsoever, please help me out. It would be greatly appreciated!!
    Have a great night!
    TK

    Ok, I'm going to assume that you are using the newer AirPort Utility and not the older AirPort Admin Utility that originally came on the CD with your AEBS.
    If this is correct, the following would be the basic settings:
    Either connect to the AEBS's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the LAN port of the AEBS, and then, using the AirPort Utility in Manual Setup, check these settings:
    AirPort - Base Station tab
    o Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    o Base Station Password: <enter the desired administrator's password, the default is "public">
    o Verify Password: <re-enter the desired password>
    o Set time automatically: (optional)
    o Allow configuration over Ethernet WAN port: (optional)
    AirPort - Base Station - Base Station Options
    o Contact: (optional)
    o Location: (optional)
    AirPort - Wireless tab
    o Wireless Mode: Create a wireless network
    o AirPort Network Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    o Radio Mode: 802.11b/g compatible
    o Channel: Automatic
    o Wireless Security: None
    AirPort - Wireless - Wireless Options
    o Multicast Rate: 2 Mbps
    o Transmit Power: 100%
    o Create a closed network (unchecked)
    o Use Interference Robustness: Not enabled
    Internet - Internet Connection tab
    o Connect Using: Ethernet
    o Configure: Using DHCP
    o DNS Server(s): (optional)
    o Domain Name: (optional)
    o DHCP Client ID: (optional)
    o Ethernet WAN Port: Automatic (Default)
    o Connection Sharing: Share a public IP address
    Internet - DHCP tab
    o DHCP Range: <leave default or enter desired range>
    o DHCP Beginning Address: <leave default or enter desired beginning address>
    o DHCP Ending Address: <leave default or enter desired ending address>
    o DHCP Lease: <leave default or enter desired lease duration>
    o DHCP Message: (optional)
    o LDAP Server: (optional)
    Internet - NAT tab
    o Enable default host at: (unchecked)
    o Enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol: (unchecked)
    Once you verified that you can get Internet access for all of your computers, you should secure your wireless network. To do so, I suggest that you make these changes:
    AirPort - Wireless tab
    o Wireless Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal or WPA2 Personal
    o Wireless Password: <enter desired wireless encryption password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter desired wireless encryption password>

  • Having problem with switch statement..please help

    here my question :
    GUI-based Pay Calculator
    A company pays its employees as executives (who receive a fixed weekly salary) and hourly workers (who receive a fixed hourly salary for the first 40 hours they work in a week, and 1.5 times their hourly wage for overtime worked).
    Each category of employee has its own paycode :
    ?     Paycode 1 for executives
    ?     Paycode 2 for hourly workers
    Write a GUI-based application to compute the weekly pay for each employee. Use switch to compute each employee?s pay based on that employee?s paycode.
    Use CardLayout layout manager to display appropriate GUI components. Obtain the employee name, employee paycode and other necessary facts from the user to calculate the employee?s pay based on the employee paycode:
    ?     For paycode 1, obtain the weekly salary.
    ?     For paycode 2, obtain the hourly salary and the number of hours worked.
    You may obtain other information which you think is necessary from the user.
    Use suitable classes for the GUI elements. (You can use javax.swing package or java.awt package for the GUI elements.)
    here my code so far :

    HOW CAN I PERFORM THE SWITCH STATEMENT INSIDE THIS CODE TO LET IT FULLY FUNCTIONAL..?
    I MUST PERFORM THE SWITCH STATEMENT LIKE IN THE QUESTION..
    PLEASE HELP ME..REALLY APPRECIATED...TQ

    hi
    A switch works with the byte, short, char, and int primitive data types. So you can simply give the
    switch (month) {
                case 1: 
                            System.out.println("January");
                            break;
                case 2:  {
                            System.out.println("February");
                             break;
                case 3: {
                              System.out.println("March");
                              break;
                             }where month controlls the flow
    moreover u can go to http://www.java-samples.com/java/free_calculator_application_in_java.htm
    for reference, just replace the if statement with switch with correct syntax

  • Ipod Video 5generation possible water damage.. PLEASE HELP

    Hello Apple Support discussion boards.
    I have an ipod video 5generation from back in 2007, and it is in PERFECT condition looks wise. I maybe used it for 2 weeks before I left it behind my friends shed on a trailer. I didn't know I had at the time. I thought it had gotten stolen. My friend found it 3 days later and it didn't turn on. He said that it had possibly rained for 10 minutes or so in the past 3 days, and gave it back. He was right, no charge would bring this baby back to life. BUT!! it is now 2011, and about 4 years later I find it in an old desk drawer!!! I have never been more confident to bring this ancient (apple wise) brick to life, and I've made progress! Now when I plug into power, a White screen comes on for about 5 seconds, then vanishes for the next 5 minutes. Then it repeats. Every 5 Minutes, White light for 5 seconds, then off. Like its trying to turn on, but just can't do it. Its been plugged in for about 2 hours now doing this. I've seen iFixit steps and all of that "take your ipod apart and let it dry and hope for the best", but its been "drying" (if it was water damaged) for the past 4 years!!!! PLEASE HELP ME! I have a macbook pro from 2010, and it won't show up in itunes or disk utility. Nothing, No response! I want some suggestions before I just say oh well and do open heart surgery on this sad ipod.

  • Macbook will not connect to any form of internet PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!

    Can someone help me. I have no idea what to do. I recently bought an Apple Mac Book 1.83Ghz. It was slightly used. It will not connect to the internet, at all. It will connect to my wireless network, and have full signal strength. But when I open safari, or any program requiring internet, it says there is no connection. I have hooked the computer stright up to my cable modem, and it still said no connection. Look I really, really need help. I don't know what to do, and I need to use this laptop asap! Please, if you see this try to help me. It will not connect at all. Please, please help.

    Yes, I did. I have a linksys wireless G rougher, and an optimum online cable modem. The cable modem is hooked upto the roughter. I plugger a cord into the roughter, to the computer and that didnt work. I plugged the laptop stright into the cable modem. The modem says there is activity, but it still wont connect. What is important is the wireless. It says that it is connected to my network, but will not go on the internet. I tired setting it up with the progam installed, but when it asks for my network and password, it says that it is inaccurate. I really really need this to work as soon as I can. If you could help me in any way, please do so.
    Thank you so much.
