My internet provider At

Hi, I work in Healthcare and use all Apple products at home and work. However, my knowledge on software in general is pretty average. I recently got an email from my At&t internet provider saying that one of my devices at home is acting as a zombie computer as part of a 'botnet' computer network. I have no clue what this is. However, I recently opened an old windows laptop that I havent used in 2 years to download some software which was not Mac compatible. I am pretty sure this wndows laptop has no antivirus on it. The date and time At&t mentioned that they found some bot infection coincided with the time I opened my old laptop. They also mentioned that for security reasons, they obscurred my ip address. Have no clue what that means!! They suggested me the following :
Botnets are networks of computers which have been infected with malicious software and placed under the control of a hacker or group of hackers. They are often used for attacks on websites, spamming, fraud, and distribution of malicious software. Because bots are designed to run in secret, an infected computer may display no obvious symptoms.
To address this problem we ask that you take the following actions. If your computer(s) are managed by an Information Technology (IT) group at your place of work, please pass this information on to them.
If you use a wireless network, an infected computer may be using your Internet connection without your knowledge. Ensure that your wireless router is password-protected and using WPA or WPA2 encryption (use WEP only if WPA is not available). Check the connections to the router and ensure that you recognize all connected devices.
Update the security software on your system and install any necessary service packs or patches.
When you have taken action, please respond by forwarding this email to [email protected] with an acknowledgement of: “I am taking steps to address this infection.” When we receive such an acknowledgment, we can maintain the high quality of service you expect from us. We welcome feedback on what removal tools or methods were used.
Regards,
AT&T Internet Services Security Center
I spoke with the customer care person at At&t and probably it is the weekend and no one could give me a specific answer on what needs to be done. One guy suggested to download McAfee for Mac from At&t website, which I did. However, I still have no clue, if my computer is infected. I disconnected the wireless network connection on my old windows laptop. I use a personal iphone, itouch and ipad for work, ipad, Mac air at home. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. This is really stressing me out. Thanks!!

First, remove the worthless McAfee product according to the developer's instructions.
If there really is a bot on your network, it's almost certainly the Windows PC. Since you've taken it offline, you can inform the ISP that the problem has been addressed. If you get another such warning, ask for details.

I just changed my Internet provider and my Apple TV is not working. It is showing a blank screen - tv is on the correct setting...cannot even see access any Apple TV screens to update my internet?? Help?

I have just changed mt internet provider and cannot get my apple tv to work now!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Changing your ISP may cause some issues but not so far as I am aware a problem with it connecting to your TV.
Have you changed anything else, what troubleshooting steps have you taken so far.

I need to reset my Apple ID on my ipad. My internet provider was bought by another company, so my user name changed. So now, when I go into itunes or the app store, I cannot update anything because it asks for my password, but not my apple id.

My internet provider changed, so my username changed. I need to be able to reset my appleid NOT my password. I can't find a way to do this. Here is a scenario. I want to go into the app store to update apps, so a box pops up asking for my password, but shows my appleid as the old name. I have reset the appleid on my mac and itunes at home and works there, but when I try to go into things on the ipad, it automatically comes up with a window asking for my password, but for my old id name. I went to the manage your id section, but it won't let me in because it wants the password to the old name. So I think I need to reregister the ipad with my new userid. Icloud, Itunes, app store, everything like that won't let me in because they still show the user id as the old name.

On the iPad - go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Tap on your old ID and sign out. Then sign in with your changed/new ID.

My Internet provider is Comcast Xfinity. When I open Safari it goes to my Xfinity homepage. I can sign into my email OK, but when I attempto to access my Email Inbox, nothing happens. The connections just spins indefinitly. what is wrong? I am operating Maverick OS X 10.9 .2

Might be a cookies and cache issue ...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Now empty the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:

New internet provider, Apple devices can't download updates/apps but all other devices work fine! help

Hi there
I have changed to a new internet provider, and they configured my router (which was working fine previously with my Apple devices)
It is a D-Link router, and it is connected to the internet via PPPOE. (previous provider did not have this PPPOE configuration)
The technician did the configuration and the Wifi works fine for all my devices including laptops, and friends who use Android.
My Iphone, Ipad, and my friends' ones are the only things that seem not to work correctly.
They can find the network on the router. It then connects for a short time, then either after a few mins of browsing on Safari, or any attempt to download an App or update an App, it fails.
To summarise - All non-apple devices function fine and connect to router. Apple Iphones and Ipads find and connect to Wifi, but the internet works temporarily on browser, and any App update or download will fail. (Wi-fi remains connected)
I am hoping it is a simple router configuration issue and the installation technician missed something. Has anyone ever come across this?
what I have tried - Rebooting router, restarting Ipad, resetting network settings and other things, but I am almost certain it is a router configuration thing.
Just hope someone can help, because I have called my internet provider and if they will charge for a call-out if they find it is not ''their fault'.
Really really appreciate any answers to this one.

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.

HP laserjet stops printing after change of internet provider - workaround : reinstall....

Hi,
my HP multi-function laserjet printer worked fine on my windows 7 laptop, via wifi connection, in the past ;
recently changed internet provider, and since, I do not manage to install the printer so that it works continuously.
After initial install (via cable connection between laptop and printer), all seems fine ;
I select "share with all users" ;
=> all OK, everything prints, for both users.
Problem:
Next time another user or myself try to print, just a couple of days later - nothing works anymore ;
NO error message ;
printer job is visible in queue ;
printer is visible (and selected as default printer) in "devices and printer" with a green checking mark, but in light grey, as if inactive.
When (right-)clicking "troubleshoot", no error is found.... but nothing prints, still.
How can I avoid doing the reinstall every time I want to print from my laptop???
(Printing from my tablet works fine !)
Would be very greatful for your help..... thanks in advance!
This question was solved.

Hi @KatLe ,
I see that you are experiencing issues printing from different user accounts. I will certainly do my best to help you.
I have provided a document for setting Security permissions for printing to see if that will help.
Can the Administrator Account on the computer print, or are they having intermittent issues also?
Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

I suddenly am unable to retrieve my emails. I discussed this with my Internet provider, but still get an error message and can't access my emails. Any suggestions???

I am unable to retrieve my emails since yesterday. I called Time Warner Cable, my Internet provider, but they could not help me; they stated that the settings had changed, since they were upgrading. I adjusted the settings, but still get an error message:
          Alert
          There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account "Mail 1" or try again.
          The server returned the error: The connection to the server "smtp.roadrunner.com" on port 110 timed out.
I changed the server, and the port, as Time Warner Cable tech rep recommended, but to no avail. They recommended I delete my current email account and recreate it, but that I check with Apple first, because I might lose my contact list (and any email messages I'd previously saved!?). They suggested Apple might be able to tell me how to not lose the contacts, emails, profile.
Any help would be appreciated.

Intermittently, when I try to enter the internet through Safari, it freezes up and won't fully load in the internet. If I turn the iMac off and start it again, it seems fine. I have had my internet provider check everything from their end.

Intermittently, when I try to enter the internet through Safari on my Imac, it freezes up so that the loading line only goes 1/3 way across and then stops. If I shut down the computer and then restart, it usually loads fine. I have had my internet provider check eveything form their end and it is fine. I suspect that I have a software conflict. My provider and others have said that I should use FireFox because Safari is not that stable. I am running OSX Maverick on my system. This was a recent download. Is anyone else having this problem and have you any ideas how I can correct it.

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary on principle, not because of anything suggested in this comment. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The procedure will help to identify which such modifications you've installed, as well as some other aspects of the state of the system that may be pertinent.
Don’t be alarmed by the seeming complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out. Here's a brief summary: You copy a line of text from this web page into a window in another application. You wait about a minute. Then you paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, paste again. That's all there is to it. Details follow.
You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken while booted in “normal” mode. If the system is now running in safe mode and is bootable in normal mode, reboot as usual. If it only boots in safe mode, proceed anyway.
Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script. It does nothing but produce human-readable output. However, you need to be cautious about running any program at the behest of a stranger on a public message board. If you question the safety of the procedure suggested here — which you should — search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
The script will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but it's really a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it.
If you have more than one user, and the affected user is not an administrator, then please run the script twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The administrator is the user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time. If you can't log in as an administrator, just run the script as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately, leaving the Terminal window empty. If that doesn't happen, press the return key.
If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter your password, the script will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important.
The script may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear in the Terminal window.
You can then quit Terminal. The output of the script will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. All you have to do is paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V again.
Please note:
☞ This procedure is all copy-and-paste — type only your login password when prompted. When typing it, you won't see what you're typing. Make sure caps lock is off.
☞ Remember to post the output. It's already in the Clipboard when you see "[Process completed]" in the Terminal window.
☞ If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.

Your system is prompting me to give over my password for internet provider and checking this is on a ploy.Never had to do this before!

Please tell me why I am now prompted to submit my password for my internet provider ? In the past with all the upgrades this has never been requested before and I wish to know if my computer has been compromised.

I have no idea who "your system" is. Thunderbird is email client software that runs on your computer. When you get or send mail your email providers server asks for a password. You can enter this yourself or have Thunderbird remember the password and provide it for you.

HT4623 I keep getting an error message "cannot connect to the internet." Is this a problem with my internet provider, or has anyone else had this problem.

I keep getting an error message "cannot connect to the internet." Is this a problem with my internet provider, or has anyone else had this problem.

I get that problem once in a while and I will not be able to connect to the Internet with any of the 5 or 6 (or 7 or 8 ) web browsers that I use on my iPad. The one thing that I do that has never failed to work for me is to close all apps on my iPad and reset the device. I can't guarantee that it will work for you, but this works for me every time I get the server failed to load/can't connect to the Internet message.... Or whatever the exact message is.
If you have a ton of apps in the multitasking display, it can take a while to close them all, so you could just trey resetting the iPad first and that might be all that you need to do.
Closing apps in iOS 7 works like this. Drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I have two internet connection at my home. Qwest and Ptera. I have Dish Network with the sling box that allows me to watch live TV and recorded content on a PC or Smart Phone.
I first connected my Dish DVR to my Qwest DSL for testing - I downloaded the Dish Network AP on to my Smart Phone and watched live TV on it.
Great it works.
So I then connected my Dish DVR to Ptera (which has the 15 times faster uploads) and then went to work (also a Ptera connection) and watched live TV with Dishonline on my PC. But when I tried to watch it on my phone the app said that my DVR was not connected to the internet. Woa.
So when I went back home I ran diagnostics on my DVR and it said it was properly connected to the internet. Tried the app again and it still said my DVR was not connected.
I unplugged my DVR from Ptera and plugged into my Qwest connection and verified the DVR internet connection.
I then tried the App again and it worked fine.
Plugged my DVR back into Ptera and again the app said my DVR was connected to the internet.
So any time I try to stream from my Ptera connection to Verizon it is blocked.
I would like to know why and how to get it fixed.
My Ptera connection is far better to use for streaming data from.

You probably can not do so if an internet provider blocks it.
There may be alternatives see [/questions/940600]
