Network dropdown that says "Your network connection has changed"

I am in Thailand with limited interenet access so can't spend too much time for the solution to this problem. Will much appreciate the help.
When I open the Network window I get the message "Your network connection has changed." I click "ok" it rolls up and back down again. A never ending series of the same message.
I suspect it is a preference or configuration file somewhere, but I can't afford to guess.
I am using Tiger with the latest upates.
Much appreciate the help.

Hi Michaelmetal, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Kappy's fix won't work-I don't have a "systemconfiguration" folder and I don't have that group of plists.
Are you perhaps in the wrong Library folder? They aren't in your Users Library folder. There are at least 3 Library folders...
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
To stop the pop-up, Go to System Preferences: Security. Check the box next to "Require password to unlock each secure system preference." Then lock Security.
Try this cure for Security update...

Help* Getting a pop up that says Your Apple computer has been blocked

My partner was using my laptop yesterday and was trying to download the NHL hockey game stream from nhl-stream.com. He tried downloading it and downloaded MacKeeper and some video player. This morning I realized what he did so I googled how to uninstall MacKeeper and did so. I was unable to find the help file to delete for MacKeeper. I also deleted the video player and everything recent from the downloads. Now I'm havinganor problems with my MacBook Pro. When I use Safari it's no longer my regular Google homepage it's search-quick.com which I cannot get rid of? (Anyone can tell me how that would be helpful)
My biggest problem is the pop up that comes up and says
*YOUR APPLE COMPUTER HAS BEEN BLOCKED*
Mac System Alert!!
System has been infected due to unexpected error! Please Contact Apple Care 1-855-680-7080 Immediately! To unblock your computer....
I Googled other pop ups like these on apple support and they says to hit Control W to close the window then change security preferences. The control W does not close the window I can only get rid of it by clicking Force Quit. Then when I reopen Safari either the Popup immediately comes or the first website i search it comes. Sometimes I also get new windows open for MacKeeper. This is very frustrating and I am still learning on how to work around my Mac. I have never found a problem with my computer before he went and downloaded the game.
IF anyone can direct me in the right direction to have this removed so it's safe again to go on my banking etc that would be great! I tried to call apple support but of course my call support has expired!

Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu, close Safari, and then launch it with the Shift key held down. If that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.
If that message continues to appear, click here and run Adware Medic; the MacKeeper popups may also be produced by adware. You may need to use a different web browser.

Read the article you linked.
If changing your password does not resolve, then contact itunes support

If it's asking you to confirm account information or anything else of a personal nature, it's almost certainly a fake. See:

HT3702 Trying to purchase a book and it keeps saying your apple account has been disabled. How do I fix that

Trying to purchase a book. Get a pop up screen that says "your Apple ID has been disabled". How can I fix that

You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on your iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it.
If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

I get an error:"Unable to sync. Your sync key has changed" But I simply type in the old key and it starts woring again

When Firefox starts I get an error : Sync encountered an error. An unknown error has occurred. when I go to sync preferences it says your sync key has changed. When in the update key dialog I simply type the old key it accepts it ans again starts syncing as if nothing had happened.

hello, when this is happening after you've already updated firefox with your admin account, try to delete the ''updates'' folder and ''active-update.xml & updates.xml'' within the %localappdata% folder of your restricted account like it is described in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update#Software_Update_not_working_properly

Try a direct download:
iPod, iPhone and iPad Firmware Download
Manually install it by holding your "Option" key down when clicking on the "Restore" button in iTunes and select the firmware file you downloaded.

Once i go to a place wherein there is no network, my phone says no network, but after i recover my network, its still saying that it still has no service. I try to put to airplane mode then put back to normal. I restart, then the network recovers.

HT201272 trying to download purchases and it says"you do not have priveldges to access this network. Please check your network connection." This computer is authorized and I checked my account info and it is correct. Any help?

I am trying to download purchases made from my Iphone4 and it says "I do not have privledges to access the network. Please check your network connection and try again." I have checked my account info and it is good. I have made sure my pc is authorized and it is. Any ideas? I am on a gateway with windows 7 with all updates. Running Itunes 10.6.3.

I also have a new iPad and am having the same problem. I have tried all the apple troubleshooting tips and changing the DNS server, as well as setting up a new Apple ID. I already had an ID and it has worked for a year with my iPod. It works on the iPad with apps but not with Facetime or iMessage. I have changed router settings, added Google DNS to my PC as a DNS....nothing. I am at my wits end

How do i enable my Itunes account? When i try to purchase or update it says "Your Apple ID has been disable." I have contacted Apple 3 times and they told me to change my password each time and i told them i tried that, but it didn't work.They didn't help

What did itunes support tell you?
If you did everything it says then you contacted them.
From the article you linked:
If the issue persists, you can visit iCloud Support, iTunes Support, Apple Print Products, or contact AppleCare for further assistance."

When I open iphoto I get an error message that says Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable,

when I open iphoto I get an error message that says Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable, I have tried restarting computer and opening iphoto whilst holding down option and command key, but then I get the following message-Your photo library is damaged or unreadable and cannot be opened. Please restore from a backup. Please can anyone help?

Make a back up now. If you have any vaule in Your photos always have a back up.
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
In Library Manager the Rebuild command is under the File menu. There's also an excellent Help available.

I just recieved a notification that says "your iphone has been hacked. All your photo's and calls are compremised"..... Should I be worried?

Hi all,
I just recieved a notification that says "your iphone has been hacked. All your photo's and calls are compremised"..... Should I be worried or is this a very pathetic attempt of a hacker? Please advise as soon as possible. Below is a screen shot.
Thank you for your help.

Is your phone jailbroken? If not, just ignore/delete the message...it's a Flash SMS, & nothing but spam. If your phone is not jailbroken, you have nothing to worry about.

Adobe Updater flashes a message on my screen once a week that says "No Internet connection. Please check your Internet settings and/or firewall. Waiting for connection..." Everything else works perfectly on my Internet connection.

I'm experiencing a similar problem.
I have a MacBook Pro Late 2011. I was using Lion (not Mountain Lion) with CS3 with no problems. Recently I installed a new hard drive in my computer and used Time Machine to transfer all my files and settings (still with Lion; I did not try to open any Adobe applications at this point). Then I udpated to Mavericks. Upon trying to open one of the Adobe applications, it told me I needed to reinstall CS3. I inserted the original disc and followed the instructions on the ReadMe file. I went to Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers > Add or Remove Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium. I did a reinstall, and at the end, it said that some of the components failed to install (see screenshot):
I did a partial install (not all CS3 applications), so there could have been more errors than this if all applications were installed. The applications themselves appear to work fine, but when I try to run the updater, it tells me I have no internet connection.

Acrobat updater works just fine [after I install the manual updates till 9.2.0].
Can you tell me where to find these manual updates? I looked on this page:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/collection.jsp?collID=1&platform=Macintosh
but I don't see 9.2.0 for any of the CS3 applications.
The CS3 that I purchased (Design Premium) came with Adobe Acrobat 8. I tried to manually install the 8.1.1 update. It said, "Please choose the copy of Adobe Acrobat Professional to update", but the application is grayed out (see below). I did not try to install any other manual updates, yet.
I'm not sure what to do here besides use my CS3 applications the way they are without updating them ever. (I would rather not subscribe to the Creative Cloud.) Any help will be appreciated. I might try doing a complete unintall followed by a fresh install.
