I cannot connect to the internet. I think I have my settings all out of whack now and need to get them back to the way they were when it was working. (I know my wireless router is working because my Dell has no problem connecting to the internet.)

I cannot connect to the internet on my iMac through my wireless router. I think I screwed up the settings and need to reset them. I know the router is working because I can access the internet on my Dell laptop which is located right next to my Mac.

On your iMac try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
In the windows on the left side: Select login for Keychains and "All Items" for Category.
Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
Restart or log out then back in.
2. Move System Configuration Files
(Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
Go to /Library/Preferences
Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)

Firefox goes into work off line mode and will not connect to the internet

Firefox randomly disconnects from the internet. The work off line option is somehow checked and when un- checked Firefox will still not connect. A re-boot of the computer most often solves the problem. This is new and I have not made any changes recently. Running Fox 3.6.3

Thank you Moses. I had three add ons that I wasn"t using and after removing them I have not seen the problem again. Thanks again for your help.

After using Firefox for quite some time,I am now unable to connect to the internet using Firefox.I get a pop up message stating that Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.How to fix this?

The message also states that I should check the proxy settings to make sure thaey are correct-I have no idea what this means,and says also to contact the network administer to make sure the proxy server is working.This is my home computer so I guess I am the administer.If it is any help I run system mechanic 10.5,but cannot find anything in system mechanic that I recognize as helpful.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

My iPad isn't working properly. When I try to connect to the internet or follow a link it shuts down and returns to the main screen. Any clue as to what could be causing this? Not my internet connection, I checked that.

My iPad isn't working. I cannot follow a link in an email or connect to a game. It goes to a black screen then back to the main screen. Any idea what could be causing this?

Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
Perform a "hard reset" on the device by pressing down and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 30secs. until you see a black screen with the Apple logo, then release.
Then test to see if it solved the problem.

Can't connect to the internet with my wired desktop computer or my wireless laptop!

I'm stumped? Tonight I was surfing the internet when all of a sudden I lost my internet connection from my desktop computer? I tried various solutions to fix this but nothing worked? I'm currently hooked up to a wireless router model WRT160N. Here's the clincher, I unhooked the ethernet cable from the port on the router labeled "internet" and hooked it back into my ethernet port on my desktop computer and persto everything worked fine!! I can't connect to the internet either using my laptop!? I hooked everything back up to my router and tried accessing the internet but nothing worked? When hooked up like this I lose my internet connection on my desktop computer as well??? I'm confused??? What could be causing this??? I've just recently configured my router last Satuday with the help of a Linksys technician?? I bought my router last tuesday!?! Need help here!!!! Both my laptop and desktop computer have Windows Vista Home Premium as OS.

You need to re-configure your router...

I have a Linksys WRV200 wireless router and the wireless signal is not working properly so I cannot connect to the internet wirelessly. the wireless light has a fast green blinking light. how can I fix the router?

I have a Linksys WRV200 wireless router and the wireless signal is not working properly so I am unable to connect to the internet wirelessly. The wireless light is blinking green very quickly and I connect and disconnect from the network constantly. How do I get the router to work properly

Hello James,
The flashing WLAN light means activity (data getting transferred). Try disconnecting all your devices and check whether the light is still flashing or disconnect the router from internet and do the check.
Do you have your SSID as linksys or the default one? If your neighbor has the same SSID, then traffic could result from your neighbor's one. Try changing your SSID and password. Make your security WPA/WPA2.
Hope this helps,
Thanks
Vijay

My iPod touch 5 suddenly quit working and it won't charge.

My 5th Generation iPod touch suddenly quit working. I try to charge it and nothing happens.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT1766 My iPad speaker suddenly quit working, ear phones are ok, anything in setup for a fix

My speaker suddenly quit working, ear phones are ok, is there a setting for this

Plug/unplug the headphones from the iPad a few times. Also try rotating the plug in the socket a few times. The headphone jack has an internal switch which turns the speaker off when the headphones are plugged in. The contacts may have gotten dirty within the socket. Working the plug within the socket can sometimes get things working again.

HP Deskjet F4140 Suddenly Quit Working

Hello, I have an HP Deskjet F4140 connected to my iMac that suddenly quit working. The iMac doesn't even detect a a printer connected. I have updated my BIOs, uninstalled and reinstalled the printer drivers, etc. It worked fine last week. The only update I have made since then was an automatic update of the EEI Firmware. Any help?

The Apple updates messed with my HP C4280. I had to uninstall-delete then hunt down all HP files (preferences etc) using Spotlight and delete. Then restart and download and install the drivers again. After all of this it worked properly. Good luck.

Gmail has suddenly stopped working on my iPhone4S

Gmail has suddenly stopped working on my iPhone4S. I am not getting any type of error message, it is just not updating any new received/sent messages since yesterday, but I can still send a message. My Gmail account is working fine on my MacBook Air and iPad, so it must be something with the phone settings that I can't figure out. The only thing that has changed recently is that I added additional iCloud storage for $.99 because I could not take any more photos... Any advice?

Do a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
If that doesn't work - then delete and reinstall the email account.
Buying icloud storage has no effect - just keep in mind you bought more storage to backup to icloud and not more memory to your phone - you would need to delete data off your phone to gain back memory.

Gmail desktop notifications are working intermitently on V29

Hi, I am trying to switch over from Chrome to Firefox and cannot get the Gmail Desktop notifications to work reliably. I have it set to notify for all messages in Gmail and i have gone through the process of enabling desktop notifications but only some pop ups appear.
Also, if i get it to work as expected, is there a way to modify the duration of the pop ups or should i just use the Gmail Notifier extension to achieve this?

Have you figured out a pattern to which emails don't show up? I assume you know that the setting in Gmail lets you choose between showing notifications for all email or just important ones and that you set that according to your preference. I've been testing the notifications from Gmail for many months and it's been working fine for me. More information would be useful to troubleshoot.
RE: the duration. It's not currently configurable but it's a known issue ([https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=875114 bug 875114])

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data.

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

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

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
