MacBook 10.5.8 Web Browsers won't access the internet

Please help.
Apple genius were no help.
On my home wi-fi I find that very often I can't access the internet on Firefox, Safari, Chrome etc. It just freezes out and drives me bonkers. It's nit the home wi-fi as iphone still opens pages no problem.
Really frustrating and if I wait ages or turn off computer it usually fixes. Happens every day.

Hi.
In Preferences - > Network, click on the VPN account you've set up and then the Advanced button. This should bring up your Options pane. Uncheck "Send all traffic over VPN connection" and then test your connection and internet access. If it works, then you've successfully enabled split-tunneling. If it doesn't work, go back and check the VPN settings. If the "Send all traffic" is once again checked, it's likely that the security policy of the VPN server is forcing all your traffic through the connection.
If that's the case, all you can do is contact the administrator of the VPN server and request that your settings be changed.
Good luck!

My mac book pro retina won't access the internet through wifi. It picks up the signal but it just says no internet connection.

I don't know whether i've changed the settings but i can't see what i've done. I've got it plugged into the home hub and it works fine but for some reason it says theres no wifi available from the same hub that my other devices are attached to. I've tried it on several wireless internet sources and all say there is no internet available.
Please Help!

Ever since I updated to Firefox 7.1, my computer won't go to the internet when I double-click the Mozillz Firefox icon, like it normally does; I have to restart my computer to be able to access the internet. Why?

There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page to log you in automatically.<br />
The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server.<br />
If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you anymore and you need to sign in once again.<br />

I'd maybe try doing a search for Safari on your iPad first (swipe to the left to search). If it shows up in that search you can go to Settings > General > Reset and choose 'reset home screen layout' which will put it back where it would be by default.
All else fails? Restore it.

MacBook Pro will no longer access the internet

We have two macs: A MacBook Pro (2.53 GHz Intel Core Due) and a MacBook (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo). Both are running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Problem: the MacBook Pro will no longer connect to the internet. Network Diagnostics thinks that it is connected. I can use Network Utilitities to ping a site. But Apple Mail, iCal, Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Skype, Software Update, etc., cannot access the internet.
The MacBook Pro is set up with a single user account.
Our internet is provided through a mobile phone provider. If I set up our smart phone to serve as a wireless hotspot, the MacBook, iPod Touch, iPad will all connect. The MacBook Pro will not. If I put the SIM card in a USB modem and connect the modem to the MacBook Pro, the modem software will connect to the internet. If I turn on Internet Sharing on the MacBook Pro, the MacBook, etc., will connect through the MacBook Pro, but the MacBook Pro itself will not.
So to sum up: the modem software connects to the internet, Internet Sharing works as it should, Network Diagnostics and Network Utilities can't see a problem, and yet none of the apps that NEED to access the internet are able to.
This is the error message that Safari gives:

I have tried going to System Preferences / Network and deleting Airport and then adding it back. I've tried disabling the Firewall. And the same with reboots after each.
We're from the States but currently our work has us in Africa. To keep from inadvertantly passing on windows viruses to others (viruses are rampant in Africa), I'm running the Intego anti-virus software on both machines (VirusBarrier X6). I mention this because the problem started after rebooting after an update for that software. (The MacBook Pro has had the update, the MacBook has not.) But I also used Time Machine in an attempt to roll back VirusBarrier X6 to its pre-update status. That didn't solve the problem either, which makes be think that the Intego problem didn't cause the problem. But I mention it to be thorough.
There is an Apple-certified service centre in country, but it's a long drive away that I'd rather not have to make. As it would for any of you in this day and age, this is really hampering my work. Any and all help is much appreciated.

THE FIX
After hours (days actually) troubleshoorting, involving 4 people and Apple Support folks, I'll save you time. If you have VirusBarrier-follow the Manual to uninstall. use Intego's uninstall and deauthorize Virusbarrier before you trash it. If you have Net Nanny, trash it.
None of the above-it is Foxcomm's Airport/Bluetooth (661-5867) card. Faulty, non existent, blown a transistor, are all comments from Techn Support reps (the Genuis blue shirt reps)
Take it into an Apple Store, have them check the Airport card (and only the airport card) using " a different operating system". Sorry that is a black hole, as the machine disappeared to the back of the store for"testing. Don't re-install the OS, delete plist files or applications, reconf and spend hours wasting your time.
Virusbarrier, net nanny or a faulty Airport card. In warranty it is covered; out of warranty:70.55 plus $39 to have Apple officially loosen the screws.I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro, can't speak for older models.
Hope this helps the community.

My Macbook pro keeps quitting Safari while browsing. I have to shutdown the computer and restart to access the internet or my email. I t works for about 5 minutes then quits

My Macbook Pro cannot sustain Safari for more than 5 minutes. Once I hit return the "working" icon just keeps going round and round. The only way to access the internet or my email is to totally shut down and then restart.
Is there something I can check to see if there is a virus or is this a common problem. I just returned from a trip to the states and had no problem using my laptop there. I have had no problems until about 6 hours ago.

Macbook pro connects to iphone through bluetooth but can't access the internet

Hello, I have a macbook pro 10.6 and an iphone 3gs 4.3.3. I used to be able to connect the macbook to the iphone through bluetooth using personal hotspot and access the internet but one day it just stopped working. I have tried turning them off and on, disconnecting bluetooth etc but nothing has worked so far. I have tried connecting my iphone to my ipad2 through bluetooth, it works great. The iphone to the macbook through usb and it works great as well. I have tried connecting another iphone to my macbook through bluetooth and it doesn't work. The bluetooth on my macbook seems to be the problem
Well, to be more precise, the macbook sees the iphones, connects to them through bluetooth, the blue bar appears on the iphones screens but the computer wont access the internet.
Any idea?
Thank you very much.

SUCCESS!!!!!
I visited my brother-in-law yesterday and attempted to connect with his secure network. By sheer luck, he is using the exact same model LinkSys router. My iPhone connected first time--so the iPhone was eliminated as a source of the problem.
I didn't do a lot of troubleshooting at his house, but I did notice that his network was set for both dynamic DHCP and dynamic DNS. I know that either or both of Windstream (my ISP) and my broadband modem requires a pair of static DNS addresses.
Sure enough, delving real deep into Windstream's support site, I discovered a LinkSys router DNS help page, specifying how to set static DNS addresses in LinkSys routers. I then accessed my router, enterd the known static addresses, saved the router settings, then rebooted the iPhone and connected to the network.
SUCCESS!!!
Thanks to Jane, who suggested it was an ISP issue, Jason, and all at Apple support. dumonj, I'll email you directly. Try this suggestion and see if it helps.

Problem with my company's web filter, Barracuda when I try to access the internet

I'm having problems accessing the internet on my tour. Ever since my company put me on their BlackBerry Enterprise Server it appears that when accessing certain web sites the Barracuda web filter comes on. It's so frustrating... on top of it my company doesn't pay for my phone at all. Therefore, I do use my BlackBerry for personal as well as business.
I spoke with the IT guy and he initially thought it was the Desktop Software I downloaded to my computer, but we have uninstalled it and re-booted my phone and it's still happening. I called Verizon Wireless and they tell me that it's because I'm on the company's enterprise server and that I am tied to their internet service and that's why I'm getting the Barracuda access denied on certain sites that they have restricted. I am incredibly frustrated and don't know what to do...  I want to stay on their server because of the push email and the synchronization for all my contacts and calendar. Any help is much appreciated...
Thanks.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Just to be sure that this is clear -- they are not "designed" as you state...rather, the BES admins can force all Internet traffic through BES (and thereby apply filters) or they can allow it to go direct through the carrier network. The IT Policy placed onto the device at BES activation is in control of how the traffic flows.

Accessing the internet anywhereon a Macbook???

I'm thining of purchasing a Apple MacBook MC207LL/A 13.3-Inch Laptop I would like to be able to access the internet to browse, play live365, xmradio, etc... I would like to be able to do this anywhere (in the city). Is this possible or do I need to be in an internet or wi-fi network? Im thining this because i saw where Cricket offers you wireless internet on your pc anywhere you go.

The service will probably come with some hardware. If that hardware is in the form of a PCMCIA card (also called PCCARD), then the standard MacBook cannot use it, since it does not have a PCMCIA slot.
Other services use a dongle that connects to the USB port. If the provider says it supports Macs, then you're good to go.
Do note that you really need 3G speed. Service very much depends on the city you live in. Check the coverage maps of the provider. Also note that a lot of 3G networks have been suffering in recent times.

Is there a way to access the web-based setup for my router if I cannot access the internet?

Okay, I need to change the ip address settings on my router. I have a WRT54G Wireless router. I cannot access the internet on my computer connected to the router, and do not know how to change the router settings without accessing the web-based setup page. So, back to my question. Is there a way to access this page if I cannot connect to the internet?

On the back of the router is a small reset switch. Using a paper clip or other small item, press the switch in and hold it for a few seconds. This will reset the router to the default IP address of 192.168.1.1. Enter that address in your web browser, and be sure your computer is attached to the router by an Ethernet cable. Don't attempt to do this using the wireless connection.
Once you have reached the web configuration utility you can change the DHCP settings.
To give your PC a static IP address you will need to open your network connections panel and, assuming your using Windows XP, make the changes from dynamic IP to static there.

The message you are quoting says to contact iTunes Support, not this user-to-user discussion forum.
But anyway, see this document on how to find the credit card security code:
