New accessory keyboard won't allow Internet connection!

I just bought a new Mac keyboard ($29) and when it's plugged into the MBP before start-up, I get "no internet connection" message. I have to start up the MBP then plug in the keyboard.
What's up with that?

Netgear wireless router. Adelphia said that I get disconnected because our router shows a connection for a continuous time. It has been on for over 13 hours and showed a continuous connection.
What I have to do is go to Sys Pref, Network connection and reestablish the connection. It's a pain in the tuckus.

  • New WRTU54G-TM won't send internet connection to PC

    I am trying to install the new T-Mobil router. Everything works according to instructions except for 3 things:
    1. The internet connection shows green on the router, but does not pass on through to the PC. I CAN access the router's setup screens with my browser, so I know the Ethernet connection is ok.
    2. No blue phone light.
    I can always reconnect my old wireless-G router and get back online - how I am connected right now.
    3. If I bypass a router completely, and connect the Ethernet cable from the PC directly to my Comcast cable modem, the internet connection fails!
    I suspect something is configured wrong in Windows XP Home, SP3.
    Why does the old router ALWAYS work, but the T-Mobil / Linksys NEVER does, and a direct connection to the modem does not?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!!
    Lee

    Thanks for your reply. I finally received a call back from T-Mobil's @Home customer service - and the advisor knew exactly what was wrong! I had "reset" the modem several times in my many attempts to get the new T-Mobil router working properly - but I didn't know the modem's back-up battery was allowing the modem to hold prior settings, and thereby not really doing a "reset". After removing the battery and power cable from the modem for about 15 seconds, and then repowering it back up, everything worked right!
    I hate to admit how many hours I spent going over TCP/IP settings etc. Then the correct reset of the modem made the modem & router work together.
    I hope this might tip off others with broadband modems that have back-up batteries. Just pulling the power cord does not reset the modem completely!

  • New Time Capsule won't recognize internet connection.

    My modem is working fine -- i'm on the internet via ethernet from the cable modem, through the new TC, to my laptop.
    But I can't setup the TC because it's somehow convinced it's not connected to the internet.
    Makes it seem like an ignorant little thing. All looks and no brains.
    Any tips?
    Thanks.

    Cable modems come in various varieties.. and the TC does sometimes have issues.
    Tell us the exact model.
    Some of the later Motorola cable modems.. get listed in this forum area fairly often as having issues.
    15min off may not be long enough.. I would try 1hour .. and then overnight.
    The TC must get the public IP on the WAN interface otherwise it will fail. That is with a pure modem.. and the TC must be in router mode.
    Otherwise if the cable modem is a router then the TC needs to be bridged but from your description that is not the problem in your case.
    You can ring apple support in your locality and they will talk you through the setup. At least for the first few weeks or if you have applecare on a computer then you will get support for longer period. If you are struggling with the setup ring apple as some TC do have issues.

  • Why won't my airport express allow internet connection on TV blu ray? I have internet connection on iMac

    Why won't my Airport Express allow internet connection on my Blu Ray when there is internet connection on my IMac?

    I'm guessing you only have the modem/router supplied by your isp and the Airport Express.  Is the Airport Express connected to the modem/router with an ethernet cable?  If not, plug one end of the cable into an available port on the modem/router and the other end in to the WAN port, indicated with a dashed circle, on the Airport Express.
    Have a nice day.

    On an additional note, I've purchased a wireless router and everything connected on the first attempt.  It just vexes me that the built-in wireless isn't working as a router.  Is this another example of "Mac only plays with Mac"?

  • Ipod won't recognize internet connection to update 1.2

    I downloaded and updated to itunes 7 and the summary tab informs me that new software is available to update my ipod software. When I click on ipdate however it refuses to recognize my internet connection. I am online while this occurs. Since many of my video files just purchased seem to require this software (unless my tv shows won't sync for some other reason)this has been very fustrating.

    Hi,
    I too am having this exact problem. Please let me know if you have gotten any assistance on this.

  • Bluetooth keyboard won't allow iMac to sleep.

    Since installing Leopard I have an annoying problem with my 24" aluminum iMac. I have an Apple bluetooth keyboard and mouse (the new slimline keyboard). When I put my iMac to sleep, it will sometimes spontaneously wake up some time later.
    This can be between 2 minutes or 45 minutes later. When it wakes up, it displays the 'keyboard connection lost' graphic.
    I believe that this is caused by the keyboard going into low-power mode, and it behaves the same as disconnecting a USB device, which would also wake the mac.
    I have disconnected all other peripherals and only when I use a wired keyboard does the problem go away.
    It sometimes behaves normally and won't wake until I press a key, at which point the keyboard is instantly responsive. On the occasions when it wakes itself, the keyboard takes a few key presses before it starts responding. Battery life is showing as 3 green bars.
    Does anyone have any ideas? Its such a shame that a useful feature like sleep has now become unusable.
    Andy.

    Andy, I don't have any ideas to help but I wanted to let you know that my new wireless keyboard and iMac don't have the problem you're experiencing. I wonder if there's some kind of interference that causes the loss of bluetooth connectivity, but then again why just the keyboard and not the mouse? Could you possibly exchange the keyboard for a new one or try using a friend's wireless keyboard to see if there's something wrong with your keyboard?

  • Setting up home network with new and old Macs and 1GBps internet connection

    I have a 1 GBps internet connection and want to take advantage of it. I have three 802.11ac capable Apple products - a Macbook Air, Macbook Pro and  Imac. The signal currently runs from an Aris modem into a  Netgear router that maxes out at 100mbps. My Apple Extreme (not the new one with 802.11ac) is connected to the Netgear , so choked at 100mbps. Everything runs off Wifi. I have run speedtests on all my computers and nothing runs over 50mbps in the current setup. I also run some home security stuff off "DDNS" that does not work with Apple products (thus the Netgear router) so I need to consider that too. I use two  802.11n extenders around the house. I am being told I cannot use the newer 802.11ac Extemes because it would not work with the DDNS Security stuff. What do I do to maximize speeds from Wifi and keep the DDNS stuff?

    What do I do to maximize speeds from Wifi and keep the DDNS stuff?
    For maximum Wi-Fi speeds only, use all 802.11ac devices ... both wireless routers & wireless clients. For full DDNS support, only use routers that support this feature.
    For maximum overall bandwidth Internet-to-network client, use routers that support 1Gbps WAN-to-LAN & LAN-to-WAN interfaces. There are not many on the market currently that supports this. Also these routers should provide Gigabit Ethernet on both the WAN & LAN sides.
    To get an idea of what's available, please check out the SmallNetBuilder's to compare routers.

  • Firefox prompts me to update. when i do, it will not allow internet connection.

    Firefox will prompt me to update. After the installation is complete, I cannot connect to the internet. I've checked the firewall and this is an allowed program. I do not have any proxy settings specified in firefox. I have to restore the earlier version before internet connection is allowed. How do I update firefox without having this problem?

    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

  • New Wireless Keyboard won't stay linked

    I use a MBP running Leopard in closed lid configuration at work and at home most of the time unless I'm on the road. My old white wireless keyboard never forget it is synched with my laptop. However, at home I constantly have to re-introduce my new aluminum wireless keyboard to my closed lid laptop. This gets old because when I restart at home I usually like to boot off of an external drive, and of course with no active keyboard I can't use the "option" key to select my boot drive.
    This did not do this under Tiger BTW.
    Any ideas? I reset PRAM. Should I delete all wireless keyboards and start again? Can more than one wireless keyboard be used on the same computer (at separate times)?
    Any suggestions would be helpful in order to avoid having to crack the laptop lid open to get to the non-wireless keyboard on the laptop. This sometimes confuses my external video output to my

    May the new wireless keyboard itself has connecting problem, restore the factory default settings.
