Messenger says i'm not connected when I am and won't open

Hi, I don't know if it's because I don't have internet at home, but I usually am able to connect with FireWire to the net and everything works fine, except for Messenger. When I log in, a pop up appears saying that my log in did not work ''because the service is not available or you may not be connected to the internet.'' Yet I am connected to the net. How do I fix this problem so I can actually go and chat with my contacts? Any ideas? Thanks.

Try:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
Next, try doing a manual install/update using the instructions here:

    I cannot scan, the error message says I am not connected to a computer and yet I am able to print from my  computer.
    Why would it then be saying that I am not connected to my computer??

    What operating system? What router?

    I Tunes consistently says I am not connected to the internet and I am--a wireless connection to my Dell computer, Windows 7 , Firefox browser set to no proxy.  I am completely disgusted with trying to fix this.  I do not know what to do anymore.

  • Safari says I'm not connected, when I really am.

    Has anyone ever had this problem? I'm loading a page when my internet goes out, so I get the message that I can't access the page because I'm not connected to the internet (Facebook, for example). So when my internet comes back, and I reload Facebook, I still get the same message that it cannot connect to Facebook because I'm not connected to the internet. Furthermore, if I go to another site, like ESPN, and then try going back to Facebook, it AGAIN says I cannot load Facebook because I'm not connected to the internet (even though I have an active connection).

    HI,
    Somehow someway your reply got deleted. Would you mind replying one more time with the info re your internet connections... so sorry. It was there one second and gone the next.
    Here are the suggestions I made before...
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
    If you have Safari 3rd party plugins or Input Managers go here for trouble shooting.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594
    If you are running Safari in 64 bit mode, try running in 32-bit mode instead. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. *Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*
    ~/Library/Cookies and move the Cookies.plist file to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.
    This just came through my e-mail notification but not here... I will notify a moderator prompt.
    *"I use an AT&T Gateway router. The service, I believe, is high speed DSL. What's funny is that it just happened again while trying to post this reply. :/"*
    Try disconnecting the router for about 5 minutes from it's power source then turn it back on... do the same for your Mac. See if that helps.
    Also, go to Safari/Preferences - Security and deselect: Warn when visiting a fraudulent website

    Do you have any devices connected to your computer such as printers, webcams, etc?
    Try removing them if you do. I've seen some cases of this and sometimes unplugging these devices will work.
    I'd also suggest running MSconfig to ensure that there's no conflicting software. You can get all that information here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292
    Another suggestion would be trying to create a test user (Admin privileges would be necessary). If it's able to install in that user account, you know it's something with the user. But if the installation is successful, it should install system wide.
    I would recommend trying this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
    Good luck.

  • My Airport Extreme 5th generation says it's not connected to the modem

    My airport express died after 7 years. I upgraded to the Airport Extreme however when trying to configure it says I am not connected to the internet and that it can't find the DNS server. Any suggestions? I have Time Warner as my ISP.

    Some cable modems store the identity (MAC address) of the computer/router attached to them and will work only with that one until they are reset (sometimes by powering them off and back on, sometimes by remote command from the cable provider). I have no clue whether yours would be one of them, but you might try the power cycle trick.
    Another possibility is that your Extreme has not been configured properly to work with your modem. An example of a mismatch would be an Extreme trying to use DHCP to get an IP address from a modem not equipped to issue one.

  • ITunes says i´m not connected to the network

    iTunes says i´m not connected to the network and don´t can use the iTunes Store.

    That was the first thing I tried..what the site told me, but its still telling me I'm not connected to the internet when I am. Should I just delete everything by hand. Like I said I wanted to take it back and upgrade to the 80 gig ipod.
