My internet won't work but skype will

I have tried both wired and wireless connections.  It says connected but my browsers and ichat will not open, however Skype will connect and even let me video chat.  I am running on Snow leopard on a 2010 macbook pro.
I have tried using diagnostics, but to no avail, it cannot find a problem.  I have tried to ping, but there is no connection.  I do not have access to the modem, I just plug the ethernet into the wall.
Help help help help!!  I am out of ideas!!!

Do you have a choice of more than one wireless network?  If you hold down an "option" key when you pull down the AirPort menu bar item, what value do you see for "RSSI"?

  • Mac wireless internet won't work, but PC will. Help??

    I recently joined a sorority and whenever I am at my sorority house studying, it takes my macbook pro an average of a half an hour to connect to the wireless internet. When it finally connects, it seems random. I cannot figure out what makes it suddenly work. Sometimes I wait so long for it to connect that I am forced to give up. Other girls who live in the house have some issues, but not as many as me and the girls who have PCs don't have any issues. Again, the girls who own PCs don't have ANY issues with the wireless internet. Also, my internet works fine on campus, in my apartment, at my parents house, etc...
    Because I don't have any control over the internet I don't know what kind of router it is or anything, which I know would be helpful. However this just seems like such a specific problem that I was wondering if anybody had any ideas to make it work. I've gone through the network diagnostics numerous times and have done what I can within the network preferences.
    I'm supposed to live in the house in the fall. Someone please help!
    Thanks!

  • Firefox won't work but Safari will???

    Firefox won't work but Safari will?
    Firefox was already loaded on my macbook pro but won't work??

    Firefox doesn't come preloaded on new Mac's.
    So you must have gotten this machine used and the person set up Firefox with a proxy amongst other "tweaks" that your not aware of, possibly even remote access to your machine.
    If this is a used machine you bought, ideally it would be best to backup any files you have to a external drive, c boot off the installer disk the other person should have given you and use Disk Utility > Erase > Zero and format the drive HFS+ Journaled. Quit and install OS X and start with a fresh machine.
    If you don't have the disk, a $29 Snow Leopard install disk is avaialble from Apple (no iLife programs, sold seperatly) which you can do the same as above.
    If you don't want to do this, then delete Firefox and it's Library > Application Support > Firefox folder and reinstall it fresh from Mozilla.
    Just reinstalling Firefox alone doesn't work, the support files need to be trashed as well.

  • X6 Camera won't work but video will.

    I can take video's fine but when I change to image mode the screen is black and if I take a picture it throws me out of camera and back to the main screen.
    I had it in for repair as I was cleaning the line along the top and stopped the touch screen from working. I am told that should not affect the camera.
    Is there something I can do or am I going to have to trek back to the shop (not so local).....
    Thanks

    Try restoring the camera settings.. If it didn't work, restore the phone settings.. If it too didn't work, format the phone by dialing *#7370#. If it too didn't work, do a hard reset by switching on the phone by pressing call button, call end button and camera button(it will erase pre installed softwares too! And, in order to do this you should hold those switches until you see the logo of NOKIA).. I hope it will solve your problem....
    If i have helped , kudo me by clicking the white star in left side!

  • DVD drive won't work but it will burn disk?

    imac 2.4Ghz - 10.5.8
    For sometime now my DVD drive spits out Cd's/DVDs as soon as I put it in. Strange thing is, it will let me put blank media in and will allow me to burn disks.
    It's getting really annoying now as can't do so many things I need to do.
    I want to upgrade to Snow leopard but until this is sorted I can't. I know I can attach an external drive or replace it but I need to know that I've covered all areas before resorting to this.
    Wondering if an upgrade caused this possibly?
    Would be very grateful for any help anyone can give me?
    Many thanks

    Hello kfq
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    1. Check and clean those CDs and DVDs, SuperDrives are picky and don't like dirty, filmy, scratched, warped, out of balance media with labels on them!
    2. Check the Apple > System Preferences > CDs & DVDs to make sure that they were set correctly. To include toggling/re-setting them to something else and back, forcing the system to re-write the preferences.
    3. Download the 10.5.8 Combo Update from the following Apple Support page and install it over the top of the current 10.5.8 > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL866

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.

  • Ever since I installed MAVERICK, nothing now works, Flash Player won't run, printer works but scanner will not and the computer runs so slow.  Any help anywhere?

    Ever since I installed MAVERICK, nothing now works, Flash Player won't run, printer works but scanner will not and the computer runs so slow.  Any help anywhere?

    wqn02h, first thing I would do is use Disk utility to repair permissions. Once this is done. Make sure you have the latest versions of the software you use. Also, check the manufacter of your printer/scanner for updated software. If they don't have updated software there are 3rd party alternatives that will work.

  • My home button is not working but apple will not honor the limited warranty

    My home button on my ipod touch is not working but Apple will not honor the limited warranty because the corner glass is craked.  I have been using it cracked for months.  What is my legal recourse.  I think it is unfair!!!!!!

  • Autofill won't work but it is checked off.

    Autofill won't work but it is checked off. I went through the normal steps to try to fix it. it used to work and suddenly stopped.

    Explain what you mean by "still won't work."  State everything you did to activate it and what exactly happens when you try to use it.

  • Connected to wifi but internet won't work (airport router)

    Help,
    I've tried everything to get my ipad to connect to the internet. It says there is an excellent connection to my router (airport) and my imac & iphone work fine.
    So far I have:
    fogotten the network
    reset the network
    reset my ipad (completely and reinstalled everything)
    turned off the airport router for 2 minutes
    Added static ip address, sub address and DNS
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Earlier in the week I had an amplifier installed to improve the signal for my cable modem. Could that be interfering with just my ipad?
    Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi!
    So I'll explain my problem and how I fixed it.
    I have two macs and iphones in the house. I use an airport time capsule.
    The ethernet works just fine.
    Wifi on one iphone and one mac works fine.
    The other two don't. If I self-assign an IP address, the other mac works, but the iphone still doesn't work.
    I searched everywhere and tried a lot of crazy stuff.
    Here's what was wrong:
    The airport was not assigning an IP address, or it was too slow so the mac and iphone assigned their own. A self assigned IP looks like this:
    169.254.xxx.xxx
    Internet connection does not work with an IP address space of 169.254.xxx.xxx from ISP, router, or manual configuration
    An IP assigned by the airport (DHCP), should look like this:
    (10.0.1.25 or similar).
    Solution: Reset the airport to factory settings. Reconfigure wifi network.
    Took 5 minutes. Super easy. Fixed everything. Now all devices work, no problem. The airport automatically assigns proper IPs.
    Also, if you have a backup on your Time Capsule, don't worry. It won't be deleted, and when you connect to the newly configured airport with Time Machine, it will automatically find the old backups and continue as usual (just tried this today. absolutely no problems.
    Hope that helps everyone!
    I hope it reaches the people who need it!

  • TS3196 i have installed windows 7 on my macbook pro with retina display but the internet won't work in Windows, please help!!

  • My MacBook Pro shuts off and then Internet won't work!

    Okay so my MacBook Pro used to work perfect but then one day it just shut off then didn't turn back on for like 10 mins! And my charger didn't work so I figured I just had to unplug the middle part! But when I start it back up there are pop ups asking if I should accept or deny! And my clock is set to 2008 and I try to connect to the Internet but it gets an exclamation mark and never works! I've tried restarting it but no change! And sometimes it will work but it won't work for like a week then it does this like every week

    I would take your machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them run diagnostics on it and give you an estimate on what it would cost to fix the entire machine. This will be free. If the estimate sounds outrageous, you can always ask about the Apple falt rate repair policy - you could have a 'like new' machine for less than $350US.
