"Not connected to Internet" error message

Hi Guys,
Safari keeps throwing me "you are not connected to the internet" error messages. I'm running 10.5.1 and I chose the "upgrade" option.
The errors are displayed randomly on sites and if I get the error upon visiting a site, I usually have to wait about a half hour before i reload the site and it works normally. This is happening to approximately 20% of the sites I visit. I can view the same exact site in Firefox, but I also get the same error in Mail, Aperture (flickr export) and twitterific.
If a site (like Flickr) pulls resources from multiple urls, even though the initial site loads, the resources may not. For instance, loading Flickr, the page may load, but since the images are on a separate server (or multiple separate servers), the images may not load or may load randomly.
I tested failing urls in Network Utility > Traceroute and urls that throw the error message get an "unknown host" message. I assume this bug has to do with Mac OS X as opposed to my ISP. and that web kit is probably the culprit, as I'm having this problem on apps that use web kit to access the internet (firefox does not).
This error is also happening on my powerbook G4 that was upgraded to 10.5 as well.
anyone else having this error? i don't seem to see anything in the forums.

I am having this IDENTICAL problem. My ISP is Cox Communications and at first I thought the problem was DNS related. It certainly appears to be, but I went and dusted off my old Windows laptop and internet access works very well, fast and snappy. Since upgrading to Leopard on my Mac Pro and MacBook Pro (oh yes, I was stupid to upgrade both at the same time) I have been so frustrated with this problem. Safari will tell me I'm "Not connected to Internet" while Firefox will happily load the same page. Mail will tell me it can't connect to the smtp server while tcpdump shows it not even trying. A half hour later it starts to work temporarily. I have tried using different DNS servers but it doesn't make a difference. The problem is definitely Apple Safari/Mail. Boo!
Please someone at Apple fix this problem quickly. This is extremely frustrating.

Hi,
iChat uses several port as they are called over the internet to do different things
Text Chats and Video Chats are on different Ports.
You probably don't have the port open.
Use UPnP in your router if it has it.

Installed Airport - getting "not connected to internet" error

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and Airport extreme. I installed the Airport using MacBook (Snow Leopard) then hooked up my desktop iMac (OS X (10.4.11) - as per Tech Support recommendations. Everything works but here is a problem I encounter. When I wake the iMac and pull up Safari or Firefox I'm getting an error message of "not connected to internet" and the diagnostic box appears. I can hit "refresh" and the web site comes right up. Anyone have any ideas as to why this occurs?

Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.
Go to System Preferences
Click Network
Highlight AirPort and click Configure...
Choose “By default, join: Preferred networks”
Select your access point and Remove your access point with the minus button.
Launch your keychain access in Utilities and delete your access point keychain entry.
Reboot
Go back to the “By default, join:” page and click the plus this time to add your access point. Enter the correct password, save, reboot.

"ADE could not connect to the obtention server. Make sure you are connected to internet" error message.

I am trying to download a new ebook that I bought on ebook.de (already did it before and never had problem) and this error message appears "ADE could not connect to the obtention server. Make sure you are connected to internet". I am connected to internet and my connection is quite good... I have no idea how to fix this problem. Can someone help me?

Hello,
Quickly you can do a check.
Open your browser
Type URL: https://adeactivate.adobe.com/adept/Status
Press enter
You should see something like:
If it says "UP", this indicates ADE will be able to contact activation server.
If not, then, maybe firewall is causing you this issue.
Thanks

"Not Connected to Internet" Error on 3G/Edge/Wifi

I've dug a dozen or so pages deep into the forum here and couldn't find any help on this.
Currently my phone is unable to make any data transfer. This started happening randomly with no real change to my software or network connection at home. My phone tells me I'm connected to my home wifi network, and that I have full reception. Yet when I go to Safari to load a page (or try to send/receive e-mail, or use any other app that requires a data connection), I get a "not connected to the internet" error.
If I disable wifi on the phone and try to use the 3G connection, the exact same thing happens. I've reset my network connections through the Settings app, I've toggled Airplane mode on and off all day long, I've reset the Sim card, I've restored my firmware, I've done a hard reset. I've done all the usual tips and tricks. All to no avail.
I'm using an iPhone 3GS, on the 3.0.1 firmware. I can still send a receive phone calls, and text messages. But any kind of data transfer is a total no-go.
This is the 2nd time I've had this problem. The first time lasted for many days, and after about the third firmware restore things started to work normally again. Now that I'm running into this problem again, I'm wondering if it's an actual, physical hardware problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'd take it back to Apple. It sounds like it could be hardware, and I believe others have had similar issues. Get them to check it out instead of driving yourself crazy.

"iTunes Could Not Connect to iPod" Error Message

Yes I know this has been posted many times before, but I am at a loss here, and I really need help.
So I follow the steps I need to do to "Restore" my iPod touch (i have the 32 gig - 2nd gen) and then I see the apple logo appear. It stays that way for a long time, then nothing happens.
I re-open itunes and I still get the error message that iTunes could not connect to iPod.
So, what do I do then? This is why I hate doing updates in my iPod, it just messes up everything.
This after I just did an update on my iPod also - 4.2.

Have you tried placing the iPod in recovery mode and then restoring? See:

"Not connected to internet" error only when uploading large files.

Hi,
I have a strange problem that occurs when im uploading large files to any of my servers....
The files upload just fine but while im uploading im unable to use the internet for anything else. For example if I try to open a web page I get an error saying im not connected to the internet. This error will persist until the file finishes uploading.
Its a strange and annoying problem and was wondering if anybody could throw any light on the problem.
I cant be sure but it may have coincided with me connecting a new Netgear wireless modem router.
Many thanks
Matt

Hi Sorry, only just noticed your reply. Didn't get an email alert like I usually do.
Thanks for that. To be honest I have no idea what QOS is but I will take a look at the routers settings to see if it makes sense to me.
Thanks
Matt

This is a common issue, temporarily disable the Anti-Virus and Firewall software on the laptop.

TS1398 My ipad says it is connected to WiFi, which is workingly perfectly for several other devices, will not connect to internet. It keeps giving the message 'Cannot Connect' or error has occurred or just blink off site or icon?

My ipad says it is connected to WiFi, which is workingly perfectly for several other devices, will not connect to internet. It keeps giving the message 'Cannot Connect' or error has occurred or just blink off site or icon?

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 droping 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

Hi,
I am going on iTunes and it is saying that I am not connected to the internet but I am. I was on iTunes last a few days ago. Please help...
iTunes is a program on your computer, it is not "the Internet". The fact that the program runs has no bearing on Internet connectivity.
Maybe if a little more information was supplied, like version of the Operating system on the computer and version of iTunes, then a little more assistance could be provided.

HT1766 I'm trying to update my first Ipad (versions 4.2.1). Device is recognised by the computer. Advise to upgrade to 5.1x given but then followed by the message that device is not connected to internet. Connection with upgrade server not possible.

Whilst connected to the internet (reading news and sending messages) I cannot upgrade my Ipad with an error message that my device is not connected to internet. Update server can not be reached?
Any ideas.

I tried resetting the ipad, switched off wifi, checked date and time.

I have iPhoto 11 with Lion and when I try to post photos into MobileMe in Share I get the message that iPhoto is not connected to internet. Can anyone tell me how to connect iPhoto to internet?

My solution, which is not much, is to restart iPhoto and it then connects to the Internet. This has been an ongoing unsolved problem.
