Keep loosing connectivity to the Internet

Since upgrading my iMac from Mavericks to Yosemite, Safari and Chrome loose the ability to connect to the internet. The network connection is fine as I can connect to my NAS drive. I have to reset the Mac to restore connectivity. It appears to be intermittent but happens about once a day at the moment. One option could be to system restore back to Mavericks and put in a clean install of Yosemite but I want to avoid this if possible.

Power Cycle
Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
Restart the computer.
Start up in Safe Mode.

TC Looses connection to the Internet for wireless device & new Apple TV

I have a new TC (1 TB) that I got within the last month or two, I use it as my Internet router behind my DSL modem. TC gets a DHCP address from my DSL modem then does NAT to both Ethernet and Wifi devices behind it. After a short period of time I have noticed that my Wifi devices (New Apple TV, Macbook Pro, & 2 Iphones) will loose connectivity to the Internet, although they never loose their Wifi connection. What is strange is that I have several hard wired Ethernet devices that can still access the Internet going through the TC at the same time the wireless devices can not.
In order to get the wifi devices back working I have done a few things, disconnected and reconnected the Ethernet cable between the TC and my DSL modem, power cycled the TC, power cycled my DSL modem. It seems like the most reliable method is power cycling the TC.
This seems to happen pretty frequently however with no pattern or cause I can detect. The only interesting thing is that I just installed my New Apple TV and prior to that I do not recall having to recycle the TC. I am inclined to think the TCP video streaming might be overloading the TC and causing the wireless process to crap out while the ethernet ports are fine.
Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated. Will do some more troubleshooting and will contact Apple support at some point. I will also update this thread when I find out more.

I have a similiar problem - but I don't have Apple TV - and when the TC looses internet connection it is for wired and wireless devices. WLAN and LAN still working.
At the same time i cannot access the configuration of the TC thru Airport - are you able to do this?
I also have the feeling that high data loads provokes the error more often.

Are you losing the connection to iTunes on the iPad or the computer? You are saying that iTunes is updated. Of course iTunes is updated when you update the iOS software. That's a no brainer.
If you mean that iTunes is updated on the computer, that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with downloading and updating apps on the iPad itself so changing the date on the iPad, signing in and out of the stores on the iPad .... Doing any of that on the iPad would have nothing to do with iTunes on your computer.
If .... you have not been able to connect to the iTunes or app stores at all on the iPad - try this ...
Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If you can't connect at all - you can also try rebooting your router. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

WRT54G v4 keeps losing connection to the internet

My WRT54G version 4 keeps losing connection to the internet. I've been on the phone w/ customer service so many times that the last time I think they gave up because after putting me on hold they never got back on the phone! :-)
Anyway one pattern I am seeing is that the router loses connection to the internet within two or three hours after I disconnect from the Cisco VPN and shut down my work PC. Has anyone else seen something like this?

I found that Linksys EasyLink Advisor is a needless program that ultimately downgrades your router from a good piece of technology to a problematic pile of junk. So, therefore, try uninstalling Linksys EasyLink Advisor to get your good, solid hardware back. All you need to do to in order to get your router to work is plug it into an outlet, plug your Internet connection into the router, and then connect your router to your computer. It should then work without software (i.e., LELA) complicating it up.
Now, if you feel the need to set up an SSID or security, which I highly suggest, type 192.168.1.1 into your web browser. Leave the user name blank, and type admin as the password. Go to the Wireless tab and type something in as the SSID. It could be anything, just as long as it isn't linksys. Click on the Wireless Security sub-tab. Select WEP as the security mode with a WEP encryption of "64 bits 10 hex digits". Now, in Key 1, you need to type in a 10-digit password of numbers 0-9 and letters A-F (I believe). I suggest you use your phone number since that is very convenient in this instance.
Hopefully what I suggested in the first paragraph resolves your problem. If not, I suppose you could ignore the second paragraph if you feel the need to reinstall LELA. *shudders*

Having trouble with The Walking dead game downloading episodes 2 - 5 keeps saying connection to the internet has been lost.

?

Does Safari or Mail connect?
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

I keep losing connection to the internet

I've had this problem for a while and I'd hoped that 10.5.1 would have fixed it but it hasn't. I was finally able to get things setup so I could at least access my network wirelessly on my 12"powerbook but now it drops connection to the internet all the time. I'll load a couple pages and then on the 3rd or 4th it hangs....spins forever and never loads the page. I have to turn off airport, turn it back on again and then reload the page. Any ideaS?

Have you tried adding local DNS servers? This sounds a bit like the problem I had that Erik W solved by having me stop using DHCP for DNS servers and adding my ISP;s local DNS servers manually - do not know if this has been fixed in 10.5.1 or not since I'm back to my house that has wired internet

Why does my iPhone 4 keep loosing it's ability to download emails or connect to the Internet? I can power it off at when I restart I can send and receive but after awhile all I get is it trying to connect.

Why does my iPhone 4 keep loosing it's connection to download emails or go onto safari? If I power down the phone and restart it then it will connect but shortly after it will loose the connection and then just shows connecting in email or in safari unable to connect to the Internet

I'm guessing it's more likely a problem with your carrier's 3G network in the area. You shouldn't have to modify any settings for 3G to work consistently on a supported carrier.
You can try turning off 3G data, with will switch over to Edge if it exists. If it does, it will be much slower than 3G, but I suppose faster than 0 is better than 0.
I'd contact your carrier about it.

I am trying to install a trial version of Adobe CC, and it keeps telling me that I need to connect to the internet. I am connected to the internet, why won't the program install?

I have downloaded the trial version of Adobe Cloud, but when I try to install the program, it keeps telling me to connect to the internet. I AM connected to the internet. What am I doing wrong?

No, we don't phone. Sorry, not how forums work. We are not Adobe staff.
1. What is the exact message you get when trying to download?
2. What specific things have you tried? Please be exact. Give links to pages with advice you have followed, and tell us what happened.

What does it mean when I click on my wifi name and it show I'm on my wifi, but the network keeps thinking and the ipad says, Safari cannot open this page because it is not connected to the internet. ?

When you click on the WiFi network name, have you also provided the password for accessing the network? You should get a dialogue box asking you for the security information the first time you connect.
If you are not able to connect, you might want to go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings.
Then go back to Settings > WiFi and select your network name again and make sure the security information is now entered correctly.
If you still cannot connect, power down the router, wait a few minutes, power up the router, with the iPad powered down the whole time, and after the router has had several minutes to stabilize power up the iPad. See if it now connects correctly.

I cannot synch movies to my iPad. This has worked for me in the past. I keep getting an error message that I am not connected to the internet. Yet, I certainly am. How else could I post this message. I can listen to music clips from the iTunes store, fetch my email, and read current newspapers on the internet. I restarted both my iMac and my Ipad and that didnot help.

I completely understand what is happening. I know that you are connected to the Internet. I made the suggestion because I have seen it work in similar circumstances. The Apple iTunes servers can be a bit fussy about things and sometimes rebooting the router clears up this miscommunication between iTunes and your network.
Have you tried signing into your account and then try to sync again. Go to Store>View Account. You will have to enter your password. Then try to sync again. Or try signing out completely in Store>Sign out. Quit iTunes, sign in again and then try to sync again.
Sometimes refreshing settings will help clear up weird problems.

Hi Blueandpink,
If you are running iOS 4, you will need to update the iPad via iTunes on your computer (can't do OTA updates unless you have iOS 5 or higher).
If you have a first generation iPad, unfortunately you won't be able to update to iOS 6 (iOS 5 is the highest you can update to on the original iPad).
If you are on an iPad 2, 3, or 4th generation with iOS 5 and it still isn't working, try holding down on both the Sleep AND Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds (ignore the red slider button). Keep holding it until the Apple Logo appears. When you see the Apple logo on the black screen, let go of the buttons. This “reset” fixes a lot of iPad issues and might work to resolve the update issue. Try updating again.
Hope this helps!

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?

Keep loosing connectivity to the Internet
