MAC os x can connect to internet but shows Youtube server not available.

I am trying to connect to youtube on safari and firefox as well but I keep getting a message that the youtube serve is not available. I can hook up to it with my labptop Dell, but my apple will not let me and it has been a month now.

Thanks, Neville Hillyer. Your advice was helpful, but in os 10.4, mail 2.1.3, and Comcast setup advice online there were some port differences that solved the problem. Thanks to NH I saw the SSL option was not consistent on outgoing versus incoming; saw two different sequences to use mail preferences for setting up incoming versus outgoing; and saw on COMCAST set-up that they like 2 different port numbers. My other newer Macs have not had this problem (yet) which seems strange since I saw port 110 in all my Macs.
Mail preferences:
a-- accounts Information tab type POP, my userid, mypassword, and on advanced tab incoming port should be 995, SSL checked, Authentication should be Password
b-- accounts information incoming server mail.comcast.net, my userid and mypassword, outging server smtp.comcast.net:myuserid, server settings port 465, SSL checked.
c-- in this old version mail 2.1.3, there is not save button until I select another account and a pop-up indicates my account changed and offered the save button which I selected. Mail then asked for my account's password; after I entered it, the outgoing test emails went out immediately.
Mail sending works again.

Only Chrome can connect to internet, but the rest cannot. I have wifi or lan connect to router.
All my connection to the internet had been stopped after I setup my new bought imac, and transferred data from my previous mac book.
The connect test showed I have no connection to the internet. But the interest is, I can connect to internet with Google Chrome, but in a quite slow connection speed.
Check several times with the router and switches, DNS, wifi, lan settings etc.
Give up after hours of trying.

At the same time, another mac book using the same router can connect to the internet. Even my iphone can also using wifi to connect to the internet.
Chrome in the imac can, but Safari and the internet test cannot.

Can connect to internet, but can't find other computers in my network.

I have two macs that connect to the internet via an Airport Express unit (which is setup to connect to the internet using DHCP and share a single IP address using DHCP/NAT). My problem is that the macs cannot seem to find each other in the network.
How do I setup the network so that I can share the internet connection between both macs and at the same time connect from the one mac to the other? Is that even possible with an Airport Express unit?
I have two more Airport Express units. Can I configure one of those to act as the local network bridge (or whatever the technical term for that is)
I really just want to get all my macs to talk to each other, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how All help would be greatly appreciated!

PC can connect to internet but not time capsule

We are having no trouble getting onto our internet or accessing the time capsule with our Mac. However, the PC we have can get onto the internet, but is unable to access the time capsule. We need to be able to backup information from both of our computers.
Please help us!

Did you install the Airport utility onto windows? If not do so.. it should include bonjour which helps greatly. Make sure it does.
TC and wireless names may prevent access to resources.. are your names Apple style with that wonderful apostrophe.. illegal in the windows world?? Spaces in names also not legal.
Change all names to SMB type.. short .. no spaces.. straight alphanumeric.
Do you have permissions issues.. ??
Have you opened file sharing and turned on the guest account.. read and write access.
Do you have the right workgroup..?
Please put in WORKGROUP.. assuming that is the workgroup.
If you still have issues.. are you using homegroup in windows.. well stop it.
If you still have issues .. are you connecting correctly using proper URL in windows explorer, ie \\TCname or \\TCIPaddress (obviously replacing with actual name or actual IP)
If you still have issues.. ping the TC by name and IP and turn off all firewalls.
Do each in turn.. even step 1 might be enough.

Can connect to Internet but can't open any web pages

Hi there helpers, I was on my iMac this morning and everything was fine. I could open any browsers and it could load pages very fast, but after I downloaded and tried to install Xquartz ( recommended by apple) I went on my browser again any tried to open Facebook but it didn't work all it said on the browser was NO DATA RECEIVED. I thought it was only Facebook so I tried google but it wasn't, it was all of the websites. So I'm not sure if I've accidentally downloaded a virus or malware. By the way I use google chrome to do the things above but I did do it again in safari. Thanks

WRT54GS ... Can connect to Internet but not to my network

I have three desktop computers wired to the router and a laptop that I connect using wireless. One of my computers went to the shop. Now, I can't get it to connect to the network, but I can access the Internet with a browser and with an FTP Client. The other computers still talk to each other fine. I reconfigured the problem desktop but no joy. Note that I cannot access the router at 192.168.1.1 from any computer. I unplugged the router for 30 seconds and replugged it... with no change. What's my next step? Thanks in advance for any help. New info. I can access the router by using Internet Explorer. And There is no light on the front panel indicating that the problem computer is connected ... even though I'm accessing the modem/Internet with it.

MacBook can connect to Internet, but not iMac

Using two Airport Expresses as a WDS network. Had to reset network. Now Network is back up. MacBook can see it just fine and connect to the internet. iMac see's it, but can't connect to internet. I also opened up Airport Utility on iMac and it can't see either airport express...
Any idea's?

Also, in network preferences, it shows Airport "Not Connected". But I can see my MacBook on the network.

Can connect to internet, but software can't find base station

I bought the Airport express a few months ago to use with my stereo and IBM laptop. It took me a few tries to get it initially installed properly, but eventually did and everything worked great. A month or so ago I noticed that the tab to select "remote speakers" was not on my iTunes as it had been before. All of the settings were correct on my iTunes however so then I went to the AirPort Utility to check out the settings and the program said it could not find the base station. I tried to find the station on AirPort Set-up assistant. This program can find it but not connect to it (on the first page after the menu it shows the base station and when I hit "next" it can't connect to the station). All of this is really odd as I have internet access through this base throughout these problems. Any ideas what might be happening and how to fix it? I have reset the base station to factory settings numerous times, I have unplugged everything and restarted the whole process numerous times, I even left the base station unplugged for a week to let it relax. Still nothing works. I can connect to the internet through the station but can not find the station.
IBM T40 Windows XP Pro

Thanks for your help. I can manually connect to the internet but I can't figure out how to get iTunes to recognize that there are remote speakers as my computer can't recognize my base station. Is there a manual way to do this?

IMac G4 says it's not connected to Internet but shows it is...

Hi, I'm not even sure I'm in the right place, but I have a few questions.
At first when I connected my iMac G4 to the Internet it kept giving me "there is an error connecting to "XXXXX" network" type thing.
Now, since I pressed Cmd, Option, O & F and did the rest-nvram and reset-all, when it boots it is showing it is connected to the internet but as soon as I've clicked network diagnostics and tried to go through that dialog box it will disconnect me from the wireless connection and go back to the error dialog mentioned above.
I just bought this, though the Airport Card was wacky so I replaced that.
It recognizes it in the "About Mac" "More Info" "Network" thing.
I've troubleshooted this beyond belief, and I need a more in depth help than just a simple "try restarting the computer"
"try restarting the router"
I have tried this with several routers, all different internet connections, the whole nine yards.
HELP ME PLEASE, I AM SO FRUSTRATED!

I just bought this, though the Airport Card was wacky so I replaced that.
It recognizes it in the "About Mac" "More Info" "Network" thing.
So, you have tried two Airport Cards? Both have not worked?
I'd turn off encryption for testing. The card is rather slow. 10mhz.
Might be best to pack the cards in and try a usb dongle.
Ethernet Bridge
Ethernet Bridge "The versatile Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge can make any wired Ethernet-equipped device a part of your wireless network." from linksys example: http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-RE1000-Wireless-N-Range-Extender/dp/B005FDXMJS/ref =sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1314563758&sr=8-1
This linksys bridge is the safest solution since it doesn't require any Mac OS drivers.
Airport ExpressAirport Express is an external unit and you can configure it as a bridge. 802.11n ( I bevieve you will need a more modern version of Mac OS X to configure. Sadly, Apple uses a configuration program to configure, not a web browser. )

You better give OWC 1-800-275-4676 a call to verify that these USB dongles will work with 10.3.
You would be better off with the more expensive dongle. The letters n/g/b correspond to the speed of the data transfer. You should match the speed to your existing router. You best match on the highest speed. N is the highest. G is middle. b is lowest.

Airport Extreme Connected to Internet but Macbook Pro will not

I'm living in an apartment and using an Airport Extreme to supply wireless connection. The internet is paid for by the apartment complex and I have no access to the modem. Up until yesterday the internet worked fine for all devices. I did several factory resets on the Airport Extreme and now have confirmed internet access with my PS3 and smartphone connected to the wireless network. However, my macbook pro will connect to the wireless network but will not go beyond that to the web. I have renewed DHCP leases, reset network configurations and deleted plists to refresh everything but it still does not work. I have noted that when connected to the network, I have an IP address that begins with 192.168.x.x and the macbook states the router address begins the same way. The Airport Extreme displays an IP address of 172.xxx.x.x
I can manually input the routers IP address into my laptops network configuration and create an IP similar and connect to the internet through the laptop but if I want to connect to other networks I have reset that information. It simply won't work automatically. The airport extreme is setup in bridge mode. That is the only setup which would offer stable networking without any dropping or the device disappearing from the airport utility.
I'm currently out of my apartment and will call my ISP later today, but this problem has affected my roommates macbook's as well. My last attempt to connect directly into the wall ethernet jack yielded the same results without any internet connection.

Try this:
Put the Airport Extreme in Bridge Mode and plug the apartment ethernet cable into a normal ethernet port on the back of the Airport Extreme instead of the normal "Internet" ethernet port.

Connected to Internet, but Network Magic is Not

Hi, I recently got a linksys wireless G router WRT54GS2 and it came with Netmagic. The first time I used it everything was working fine, but now (about 2 hours later) NM cannot connect to the internet, and none of the repairs fix it. It's strange because I can connect to the internet and I'm writing this message using the router. The version of NetMagic I have is 5.1.9055.0

PS. All my devices can connect to the internet including an Xbox 360 through a wired connection, an iPod touch through wireless, an Acer Aspire One netbook through wireless, and the desktop computer I am currently on with a wired connection to the router. The only problem I am having is that on this computer, Network Magic is saying I'm not connected to the internet, when obviously, I am.

My ipad is not connecting to internet but shows wifi is connected

My Ipad is not connecting to the internet ,but it is showing that Wifi is connected.

The wifi symbol only indicated the presence of wifi. Not that it is connected.
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 drooping 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

IMac and XP2 Laptop connect to internet BUT XP2 PC does not

I continually get searching for network on the PC( hubby's machine)
When I approached someone for help getting this working they asked me if the PC was associated with the Airport Express so I need help
1 with how do I find that out I looked on the Airport utility but I couldn't find any tab that would show me.
We have a D-link router modem connected by Ethernet cable
The PC has a Belkin Network card installed and our airport express settings are 802.11g ( compatible.)
When I tried using a command prompt on the windows machine
ipconfig/all I get a 169 address which I know means it cannot find a 192. address so allocates that but is not a workable address.
I then tried ipconfig/renew and received an error message
Renewing interface Wireless Network connection4 : unable to contact DHCP Server
Request timed out.
Can anyone help out here please.
It all worked fine until I secured the network with a WEP key. and I have quadruple checked the network key is the same on all three machines.
At one point every time Hubby fired up his PC it changed the WEP Password automatically so nothing could access the internet but I fixed that problem.
Not sure what other information I can give you but no doubt have left something out.
Thanks for any help
Best fishes
Shirley

Ok, thanks. I managed to download and read the DSL 300T User's Guide so I am now familiar with this unit.
Let's start by addressing the WEP security and the password that you are providing to your husband's PC. Some non-AirPort clients have trouble connecting to AirPort when WEP is used. In almost all cases, this can be rectified in one of three ways: 1) Provide non-AirPort users with the Equivalent Network Password, 2) Switch to using WPA/WPA2 for wireless encryption, or 3) Disabling encryption all together (not recommended).
If you need to use WEP, then please review the following Apple Tech Support article to see how you can determine the Equivalent Network Password: AirPort Extreme: Getting an equivalent network password

Ipad says I'm not connected to internet but shows that I am

The internet icon shows as connected but when I go to iTunes, App Store or Maps it says I am not connected

What is the IP in Settings/Wi-Fi? Tap the arrow on the right of the name of your network. If it is 169... than you are not really connected to the Internet.

Can connect to Internet, but not router.

I know, this is the opposite problem from what most people have. I am trying to connect through a WRT54G v.6 to the ethernet port in the wall (I don't know what the building is hooked up to, we just have ethernet ports next to our cable jacks).
If I run an ethernet cable from the wall to the 10/100 port of laptop, I connect to the Internet just fine.
If I run the ethernet cable to the WRT54G, and then connect to it using my wireless card and the default, unsecured "linksys" SSID, I connect to the Internet just fine, but I can't access the Linksys router at 192.168.1.1 (though I can successfully ping it), and if I try, though I do get the password window and put admin as the password, the Internet stops working completely.
If I run an ethernet cable from the wall to the WRT54G and from the WRT54G to my computer, as you're supposed to and as I did when trying to set it up this morning, neither the included software nor Netset will give me access to the router. Trying 192.168.1.1 in the browser brings up the password window, but no amount of resetting the router to its factory defaults will give access.
So there's my long story. I am, in fact, writing this via an unsecured, wireless connection to the default SSID. But if I dare try to access 192.168.1.1, I'll have to unplug the router and start again. What the heck is going on?

download the tftp utility from ftp.linksys.com/pub/network and upgrade the firmware
