Latest update ruined my internet connection

Hi,
Was running OS Tiger with all updates installed...Emac computer
I always install the updates when the updates come up. Last night several updates did. (I have dsl). I went ahead and let them install. Well, we always shut the computer off at night, and it starts up automatically in the am. This morning after restarting it would not connect to the internet. I reset the modem and the router, and still nothing. I also worked in the network settings to no avail. So I installed OS Jaguar on another partition and instantly was connected online. I figure that it would rule out hardware problems.
The computer was fine last night, and nothing was changed, except a restart after installing the updates.
Is there a way to uninstall the updates?

Bob,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Sounds like corruption in the Internet Config preferences. Removing those will require reinserting your username and password for dialup. If it isn't, come back here and start a new topic where more people can view it:

Who might know what your issue is. Despite similar issues, yours is dealing with dialup, while the original poster here is with high speed. Totally different creatures. And your own friend might want to post their topic too. Each computer setup is slightly different, and solutions often are different just because the setup is different.

Can I update software without internet connection?

Hi.
I have my iPod Nano synchronized with my home computer, but I don't have internet connection there.
If I want to update my iPod software, I have to connect it to my job computer (with internet connection), but it means to delete all my music.
There is any way to download the latest software from my job computer, and install it on my iPod in my home computer?.
Thanks a lot. Regards.
iPod Nano 8 GB 2nd Generation Windows XP Pentium III 866 MHz, 384 MB RAM, HDD 320 GB (I know it, it's prehistoric)

Not as far as I know.
As the software updater is now integrated into iTunes, it needs to contact the software updater server via the internet.

Live Update 6 - No Internet Connection - MS-7204

Hi all,
I got an MS-7204 board (945P Series). That's a BTX format (you might now say poor chap!).
I want to update bios, and as I have no boot disk I though it might be a good idea to try Live Update.
Well, while I am here posting this on the internet, this silly program tells me "no internet connection, please reconnect and try again".
There are no internet settings or even settings whatsoever in this tool, so what might be the solution, please?

Hi,
Here's my suggestion: remove Live Update. Unless you want to brick your board
Quote
Don't fix it if ain't broken!
However, if you really want then you have to tell exact motherboard model and current BIOS, someone will be able to provide latest one with much safer way of flashing BIOS.

Armsvc.exe (Adobe Acrobat Update Service) breaks Internet Connection

I'm using Adobe Acrobat XI. Whenever the process "armsvc.exe" running, my Internet Connection became "Limited", then after a few seconds, my Internet Modem restart automatically, then "Limited" again then Restart again...
I have to end this process via the Task Manager and my Internet Connection now works normally.
I cannot find out the reason . Please tell me how to fix it. Thanks!

Disable to updates service and simply download the updates from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows. For XI, you can jump right to 07 update.

Updating iTunes without Internet Connection

I just got a new Nano and it didn't come with any disks or anything.
When I plug it in it asks if I want to upgrade, then says that the iPod isn't compatible for such an update.
If I choose not to upgrade it continues, looks as if the songs are going on but they actually don't.
However, I can see via "Settings" on my iPod that the memory space has been taken up by "Other" but no songs are on it. Very strange??
I can't update my iTunes because I don't have internet connection on my laptop. Is there some sort of disk I could get instead to update it to iTunes 9???
Any help much appreciated!!

Can I just download the .exe file to a flash drive and then use that to update my current iTunes.
Yes, you can. Download the iTunes installer on any computer that has Internet access. Then copy that installer to any removable medium - flash drive, CD/DVD etc. You can then take the installer to your computer and use it to update your copy of iTunes.
do I have to uninstall iTunes before I do that?
No, you don't have to uninstall iTunes before updating (at least not unless something goes wrong).
Note that there may be issues with an iPhone - registering, updating, etc. - if your computer doesn't have Internet access. I don't have an iPhone so I'm not sure.
Regards.

Install firmware update without simultaneous internet connection

I use a USB modem for internet service. Airport Utility want both air port connectivity and internet connectivity. I therefore can't install the update. Is there a way around this ?

Unfortunately the only way is to be connected to the internet. If you are near an  store you can take it in, I'm sure they will be happy to update it for you.

Recent McAfee update creating Verizon internet connection issue

A recent update of McAfee security software contains a bad DAT file (#6807) which stops your ability to connect to the internet, even though your computer shows a connection your modem/router. The fix is to uninstall McAfee & reinstall a corrected version from their website. If you go the the McAfee website there is an alert on their homepage addressing the issue & linking you to the fix.
Verizon's tech support (2 hrs. on the phone last night & 1/2 hr on live chat with them this morning) had no clue and was unable to help me solve my connectivity problem. But a very brief message on Verizon's support telephone line cautioned about the McAfee issue. A rhetorical question - if the problem is widespread enough to warrant an automated message when you call for assistance, then why don't their tech support personnel know about it?

I have recently been working on a friend's laptop with this same problem, no internet access. He works for Verizon and the Verizon Fios tech told him he had to contact McAfee because it was a McAfee issue. They never told him that it may have been caused by a McAfee update. So he called the McAfee tech support and they had him remove one of the McAfee products, but the Family Protection Suite was still present and he could not remove it. I tried to remove it, but I kept getting an error trying to remove it. I then did an internet search and found that all of the McAfee products could be removed one instance. Use the McAfee Consumer Product Removal Tool availabe from the following link:
http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe
Run this program and all of the McAfee suite will be removed. This was done on my friends laptop and after a reboot, all internet connectivity was restored.
Good Luck,

Time Capsule Updates destroys my internet connectivity. How do I fix this?

When I update on my time capsule, which happens rather frequently, my internet connectivity slows down considerably. Would deleting backup files on the TC make my internet quicker, is there any way to make my tc update less frequently (like twice a day) or anything else you recommend.
If so, how do you do this.
Thanks a bunch.

When you say "update on my time capsule", do you mean "have Time Machine write backup files from my computer to my Time Capsule"?
If so, a Time Machine backup can involve some fairly intense network activity, so I'm not surprised your network slows down during that time. It should only be happening once an hour. There are third-party utilities that can alter that schedule. Try this one:

(which I haven't used).

Welcome to the discussions!
Take a look at Time Machine Editor to allow you to schedule backups whenever you want.

Disable your firewall AND antivirus. If you have ever used this computer to hack or jailbreak ANY iDevice (not just the one with the problem) you will have to restore your hosts file to the way it was before you did so.

Safari, Firefox, Itunes and Update stop working, internet connection is properly working

I have a 15 month old MacBook with OS X 10.6.7.
Since two days, Safari and Firefox stop working after browsing through a few (randomly chosen) pages. That is: initially, things seem to work ok (a bit slower maybe), but after a while the page loading progress bar (in blue) gets stuck, and so does the browser. By then Itunes and Software Update don't work either. I get the error message: You are not connected to the internet.
Sometimes, the programs start working again after a while
When going to system preferences / network / Assist me / diagnostics, I get the report that the internet connection is working properly (it is, because I can type this on my other laptop).
Using a tip from the Appel support community, I also tried Assist me / assistant, and set up the network again. Same problems arise.
I have tried a few more things:
- Clean up the system from additional programs
- Backed up files and removed them to create extra space
Although I do not know if it is related to teh above problem, we did experience a slower startup of the MacBook in the past few weeks.
Is there anybody who can help us with this?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions/explanations.

This my sound too simple, but I just kept clikning on the arrow next to the selected music and it finally "Kicked" in.

Latest upgrade disables my internet connection

I upgraded and now I can't access the internet from my home. It tells me that it is checking my internet connection and then it "...disconnects WiFi because the connection is too slow". Really??? This needs to be fixed, what can I do?? We use a Verizon 5-spot for connectiveity (we live in the boonies...) and get only 2G sometimes 3G-- If I can't use the internet at home, I need to switch carriers and phones!

New Update Only Make Internet Connection Problem Worse?

Since getting this thing, I've had the same random internet drop issues alot of people have reported. It was annoying but not unbearable as drops only happened a couple of times a day. Yesterday I anxiously ran both the OS and Time Capsule updates hoping this lingering issue would have finally been addressed, instead those, I am now lucky to maintain net connection for more than 5 minute at a time. My modem (Moto 2210) lights are all as should be and show no status change when dropped, but the airport status has the time freeze and within a minute or two it renegotiates the connection and the cycle repeats.
I am so annoyed with this thing. I jumped from PC to Mac about 6 months ago because of the notion that Mac stuff "just works" and while my notebook has been bulletproof, the Time Capsule (dropped twice while typing this message) and AppleTV leave a great deal to be desired at this point.

The concept of Mac " JUST WORKS" is still very much true. As for Time Capsule. I think its something that Apple need to refine it. It is really making my hair white !!
But I still like it!! haha.. The idea, the concept and the look !! Apple just need to tweak its stability.
