Just another ANNOYING problem with internet

Hello everybody !
So here we go, I am another user that has problems viewing web pages. To make a long story short I would like to add that though I am not a system administrator by any means, I am an experienced user. So if I say for example "I did nothing but the program stoped working correctly" DOES realy mean that I did nothing at all (therefore it doesnt mean that I occasionaly pushed few buttons while viewing complex settings and then forgot about it).
PROBLEM : Sometimes (randomly) I am not able to view web pages. The problem may disappear suddenly, but otherwise I have to reboot computer to solve the problem (untill it happens again. And it WILL happen withing ~30min...4 hours, so several times a day)
I USE : Macbook air 2012 (i7 8gb if it does matter). MacOS 10.8.2.   Everything is up to date, I frequently check the system for updates.
WHAT HAVE I TRIED TO DO TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM :
1) I have changed the wireless channel so that nobody around uses the same one
2) I have changed router and internet provider (well I did not change them, I just use my mba at office, at home and somewhere else. Each place has its own router (d-link at work and apple airport express at home) and its own provider)
3) I have changed mtu (maximum transmission unit) to 1453 from 1500 by default (System preferences -> network -> advanced )
4) I have tried different public DNS servers
5) I did try to request DHCP once again when the problem appears
6) The last but not least - I have tried different browsers (safari, opera, firefox)
The only thing that works yet - reboot.
MY STUPID THOUGHTS ON THAT :
- This is not a router problem, because I have already tried about 4-5 different models, including D-link, Airport and Asus
- This is not an internet connection problem generaly (I am able to use skype, teamviewer etc. while the problem occurs)
- This is not a macbook problem, because if I boot Windows (via bootcamp), it seems like I do not face that problem at all
As a result : this is a MacOS problem, and I have to look for fix inside it.
SOME ADDITIONAL INFO :
It realy happens suddenly: I am browsing webpages, everything is ok. Then bum - and the next page starts to load SLOWLY. Few more pages load SLOWLY (if there are pictures, I find "?" instead of them). And then pages stop loading at some moment. If I try to refresh the page, it might help sometimes. But then, finaly, I just lose opportunity to load web pages by any means.  
The problem may go away for some time, but it will return for sure. Rebooting every time is incomfortable for me, since I have a lot of stuff opened and rearranged between different spaces (desktops).
Thank you for your time in advance guys ! Hope some of you have already faced the problem and have found the solution.
Thank you for your time guys.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
Launch the Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid. 
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
Step 1 
Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' 
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”. 
Step 2 
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}' 
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. 
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' 
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null  
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null 
Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
You can then quit Terminal.

  • Adding To The LIst Of Problems With Internet Explolrer 11 And Another Browser

    I've b1 of the EA6500 router and like the othe posts I can't use IE 11.  The "solution" is to use either Chrome or Firefox but not my Chrome has stopped working.  All I get now is the LInksys Blue background.  When I first see the site it looks like it's trying but then gives me a blue page.  I've included screen prints of what I see when I go to Linksys Smart Wi-Fi page and below that is the version number.  I have deleted my browser history, cache, saved form data, etc. but the result is still the same.  And it doesn't matter if I use the router IP address or the Smartsys Wi-Fi link.
    So right now the only broweser that will let me do router administration is Firefox but something tells me it too will have problems eventually.
    the problem I'm having isn't with the router, it is with the company.  People have tried to blame Micrtosoft in these posts for the problem but it's not their problem.  The real kicker is that these Smart Wi-Fi routers are not old. nor are they cheap.  LInksys announced this line at CES 2012, then again in April, and the last one announced for thie "initial" line-up of new routers  was the EA6500 (the EA6500 was anounced in June 2012).
    I've been mostly happy with LInksys reouters but if this is the way they are going to conduct business, then maybe I need to make certain adjustments with the networking products we purchase. 
    To put it bluntly...this situation is unacceptable.

    Believe it or not I stumbled across the solution to the problem and need to partially retract one of my previous statements.  In a sense part of the responsibility does go to Microsoft because during one of their infamous "updates", the default version of Internet Explorer was changed to use the 64-bit version.  I rarely used the Internet Explorer (64 bit) link in my Start Menu...I always used the "default" which apparently was the 32-bit version because there are plenty of companies that have not updated their software for 64-bit.
    The article I came across is Problem With Internet Explorer? Maybe You Need Fewer Bits.  The fix is simple and all it really takes is to right-click the icon for Internet Explorer and choose "Properties".  When that comes up change the value in the "Target" field from "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe".  Once you make the change save the change and then use that link to get to administer your browser.  I tried it and it worked.  I guess I missed the post from Linksys Support about that possibility.

  • Spry menu problems with Internet explorer

    Hi everyone
    I'm having ongoing problems with my horizontal menus and
    internet explorer. They work fine in other browsers and with the
    generous help of others at these forums I've managed to sort out
    most of the problems. But I've hit a real wall with this one. The
    menus drop down showing the links OK but you cannot highlight or
    click on the options that drop down, they just appear as text. Any
    help would be appretiated. My appologies for posting in other
    threads also but just hoping for a response.
    I am very new to this side of design so simple answers would
    be very helpful. Thanks
    Bob

    I have 2 similar problems to the prior posts:
    1) I run IE7 and FF and the positioning of my submenus are
    skewed in IE only.
    2) I am not sure, but I believe I have a problem with my
    iframe appearing in my IE7 browser behind all of my submenus. Well,
    I know I have a problem with something, but whether or not it's the
    iframe I don't know. What I do know is that the box shows up like a
    border around my submenus and I can't get rid of it. I suspect that
    it may be caused by the fact that my menu buttons are imported
    gif's in the shape of rounded rectangles which allows for the
    corners to be visible. I actually just thought about it and my
    gif's are set to have a white index transparency, but maybe If I
    export the gifs without transparency, then that issue will be
    resolved. Well I will try that part and see, but any and all
    suggestions are welcome. Oh and I just remembered, that problem
    with the border around my submenus also has another problem with
    the word "false" inside of that border behind my submenus. This
    problem again is only in my IE browser, and it is hard to see it,
    but I have no idea why that is there or what it's from. I ran a
    search in my SpryMenuHorizontal.css page and in my html page for
    the word 'false' but nothing turned up. The only document related
    to this issue that contains the word 'false' is the
    'SpryMenuBar.js' document.

  • Really really annoying problem with slooooow Adress Book

    I have a really, really annoying problem with Address Book.
    Ever since I connected it with the MobileMe service it has this problem, and I just cant get rid of it. I have tried logging out and back into the MobileMe service, resetting the sync history etc., but to no avail.
    Each time I open the application it freezes for about 5 to 10 seconts, then that blooming annoying, Windows reminiscent, rotating rainbow circle appears for about a minute at a time. Then it goes away and the application works..........that is until try something demanding like adding a new group or changing a group name, then it starts over. It is making the Address Book almost unusable and very un-Mac-like.
    Can someone please help???

    Try deleting this plist:
    (yourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
    As well, the general approach at this time is to ask if you've checked for any problematic fonts (all languages) with Apple's Font Book (look in the Applications folder). Find and remove all duplicates also.
    Start there to be sure all fonts that are in play come out with a clean bill of health.
    Also, don't hesisate to perform wholesale deletion of old and/or little used fonts - be skeptical of anything that has come from Office 2008, including those related to an Equation Editor installation.
    By all means be sure your 3rd party apps are Snow Leopard compatibl

  • Problem with Internet Key Onda Mt835Up: It doesn't work with mac os 10.6.6

    Hi I have a problem with internet key Onda MT835UP. It doesn't work, because my imac is more new than internet key.
    Can you help me? Can you send me the upgrade for this internet key?
    Thanks

    I have called Onda, there isn't the driver for Mac OS X 10.6.7 and they don't know if it'll be released.
    So if you have a Mac it's better to not buy Onda internet key,
    instead it's better to choose other brands that update the drivers of their products.

  • Problem with Internet connection sharing between eMac and Powerbook G3

    Hi,
    I seem to be having a slight problem with internet connection sharing.
    My eMac is the main machine with the internet connection, and its running 10.4.6, the Powerbook G3 is running 10.2.8.
    I can connect them all up and get online with both, but I the problem I am having is when I turn the Firewall on on the eMac, the powerbook can't connect.
    Is there anyway I can keep the Firewall enabled and still use internet connection sharing?

    How do I know which ports the Powerbook is using?
    Also I had web sharing enabled on the eMac and it made no difference at all.
    Plus I don't know if this means anything to you, trying to decipher it myself, all I can make out myself on there is port 80.

  • I have just been having problems with my Canon MP250 printer and decided to uninstall and re-install the printer and everytime I try to re-install the printer trough preferences and all I keep getting was a message saying "preparing to queue"......

    I have just been having problems with my Canon MP250 printer and decided to uninstall and re-install the printer and everytime I try to re-install the printer trough preferences and all I keep getting was a message saying "preparing to queue"...... I then decided to try and reload the Canon printer drivers and for some silly reason I deleted the existing Canon printer drive. Now I cannot load them from the CD provided with the printer or from downloads through the Apple store. If anyone out there could help me I would be greatly appreciated......

    These Canon printer/scanner drivers from Apple - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL899 - should work. The MP250 is listed on the support page. Try downloading and installing them.

  • Extremely annoying problem with user folder name in windows 8.1

    Here is the thing:
    Friend of mine bought the laptop (very strong and expensive asus - republic of gamers) with installed windows 8.1 on it, but after a few days only I bought that computer from him because he didn't need it and he didn't use it at all!
    But, his name stayed in the windows. I changed all user accounts names and everything which was possible to be changed, but when i go to C/users his name is still there on folder!
    I can say it is very annoying because that laptop cost almost 3.000  USD and I still need to look at someone else's  name in my user folder!
    I tried to change "ProfileImagePath" in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\ .... but after that windows logged in as a temporary profile and I spend another hour to figure out
    how to reverse the thing!
    How is possible that some so basic and simple things can't be changed at all in newest windows??? Only because some name was entered first it's not possible to be changed ever again???? Seriously?
    Not only this problem, there is too many problems with this windows 8.1! Too many! You definitely made  the worst thing ever!
    I am extremely unhappy and upset with this operative system! I,m cursing the day when i gave so much money for computer with crap called windows 8.1!!!!
    Very very angry!!!
    (P.S English is not my native language)

    Hi,
    According to your description, it seems that you have resolve that issue.
    Not only this problem, there is too many problems with this windows 8.1! Too many! You definitely made  the worst thing ever!
    Please let us know what problem did you encounter? Please give us more detailed information in order to provide the further help.
    Here is a overall guide for you to know well the Windows 8.1
    Windows 8.1: frequently asked questions
    No Karen, I didn't resolve the issue.
    I asked very simple question how to change something so basic like user folder name in Windows 8.1
    You know:  "C:/Users/"user name"
    All the links you are giving to me doesn't provide any concrete answer to this question. I spent hours and hours googling and researching about this question and only solution which i found is that i need to create completely new user account and delete completely
    the old one, just to be able to remove an old name of user folder! Are you kidding me?
    How is possible that such a basic thing is so complicated?
    Is there any way to change folder user name in any other way because i don't want to create a new user account!
    Simple question, but, like always, no any concrete answers - just some empty talks, and totally useless links and SPINNING IN THE CIRCLE all the time without the CONCRETE solution.
    As for part of my post which you quoted, and your request for more informations in order to provide me further help, i just gave it to you again. I want to change user folder name. What you don't understand in that question?
    UPDATE:
    Ok, i came back to edit this post because i have a feeling that maybe you don't understand the question and giving me this link because maybe you simply don't know that when you go to:
    Control panel/user accounts/change your account name... and change the name, and after that, when you go to C:/users, the folder with the user name still have an old user name. Which means that any changes in control panel or anywhere else doesn't make any
    changes on C:/users/  folder itself!!!!!
    In previous windows versions was possible to change it by editing "ProfileImagePath" in:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\ ....
    But when I try to do that in Windows 8.1, when I reboot computer it logs in with some temporary account, so i need to reverse everything to be able to use computer with the real account!
    So basically it seems that is absolutely impossible to change user folder name in Windows 8.1, which is simply unbelievable!
    I really think i explained very good now.

  • HT4818 Problems with internet drivers

    I having problems with the internet, I need a driver for internet G.. and the bootcamp drivers just support Broadcom-N. Any solution ?

    Not a helpful one. Just a 404 error. I've tried playing with the popup blocker and the security settings. We verified that it works fine in Chrome, and some instances of IE 8 (mine and another user). The three of us all use Windows 7, and the only thing the affected user can think that he changed was his Windows Live settings. We're just using a non-IE browser as a temporary fix, but I'd sure like to know what setting to change to take care of this.
