    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.

  • My wifi bar isnt showing up at the top and i cant connect to internet but its not my router

    my wifi bar isnt showing up at the top and i cant connect to internet but its not my router? HELP HOW DO i get wifi back

    I recommend that you start with taking a look at the Apple Support article to help you troubleshoot what the issue may be.
    If that still doesn't resolve the issue, we will need to get the AirPort icon back on the OS X menu bar to continue. Please try the following:
    System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Show Wi-Fi status in menu bar (checked)

  • Computer wont connect to internet

    I have a powerbook g4 titanium with mac os 10.4.11. Using Airport to connect to internet.
    The computer won't connect to any webpages or software update. Other network access seems fine. I did a archive and install and it seem to work until I updated quicktime or to 10.4.11. Not sure if either was the issue.
    I have booted into safe mode verified the disk and repaired permissions. I have also erased and created new locations.
    On every webpage I get: "Request Timeout the server timed out while waiting for the browser's request".

    Well, one more thought...
    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.

  • Not connected to internet, iTunes does not recognize iPhone

    I have the most recent version of iTunes. When I am not connected to the internet, I can not get iTunes to recognize either my iPhone or iTouch. When I plug my iphone in to iTunes, nothing. When I plug my kids iTouch into iTunes, nothing.
    When I am connceted to the internet, iTunes recognizes the devices without issue.
    Any thoughts or suggests would be greatly appreciated.

  • URL links provided in emails (Windows Mail) stopped working. I get a popup message: "Windows cannot find...." asking me to make the URL is correct. I connect to Internet Explorer, but not Firefox, my default browser.

    I have already updated Firefox to latest version and reset the default mail program to Windows Mail. But Windows Mail now doesn't want to recognize Firefox. If I shift to Internet Explorer, I have no problem. I have no problem receiving or sending emails, just using links contained in them.
    This happened suddenly, two days ago, at the end of a day when linking had been possible, per usual.

    nothing that I could find would solve my problem, so I just gave up trying...
    then I had a group of Microsoft Updates badly interact with each other, causing me all kinds of stability problems involving SQL and printer drivers.
    To fix those issues, I backed out all updates within the prior two months, then [slowly and painfully!] reinstalled them -- when done in groups, you can tell how Microsoft corrects bad updates by noting which ones are not reinstalled.
    I also had to download and install every single MS SQL update available before everything that was broken worked again. Note that none of the updates had titles that suggested anything at all to do with web browsing (other than Internet Explorer) or Firefox.
    There was also at least one Firefox update shortly after my re-installation of Windows Updates.
    Funny thing happened along that path: as of today (version 32.0.1) has none of the problems I reported, but I cannot say for certain which change fixed them: I was far more concerned fixing SQL and printer issues to even test Firefox for default file association settings.
    Sorry that I cannot be more useful, other than the general suggestions to:
    (1) keep your system fully updated with all patches
    (2) keep your anti-virus, anti-malware, and anti-spybot software current as well
    (3) keep any program that uses HTML and other browser protocols also up to date
    (4) take regular snapshots of your registry, and create a system restore point before every system and software update, so you can more easily back out problems
    (5) keep the installation package(s) for prior version(s) of software (and Windows Update files) at least until you verify an update hasn't broken anything.
    Hope that helps.

  • How do i fix the following message that appears when i open my computer :- Apple Sync Notifier.exe Entry Point not found the procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_check point chould not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll

    Apple Sync Notifies,exe.Entry point not found the procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll
    I have uninstalled Itunes 10.4 shut down and installed Itunes 10.4 and still get this message on opening? How do i fix this problem?

    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
    Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
    Restart the programme all should be well
    In case that your OS is (64 bit)
    1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
    3. Now paste it in the folder  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    4. Restart the programme, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
    Good Luck

  • Only one computer can connect to internet at a time!

    When my modem is connected, I plug one ethernet line into one computer. That computer sometime has access to the internet, but sometimes it doesn't work, and another computer is able to access the internet. Each computer uses different cables. When one computer has internet, other computers cannot access the internet if we decide to connect via another cable. Using the same cable doesn't work, also. Sometimes, all computers cannot access the internet.
    For example, this computer I am using to write this currently has internet. However, when I unplug this computer's ethernet line from the modem and connect the other computer's ethernet line into the modem, it cannot connect. (Safari cannot connect to the internet.) Network diagnosis has a GREEN light next to "Built-In Ethernet," YELLOW for "Network Settings," and RED for the rest (ISP, Internet, Server)
    Lastly, in the Network Status in System Preferences, Built-In Ethernet is YELLOW and says that it has a self-assigned IP address. However, I did not self assign the IP and is set to 'Automatic.'
    Thank you so much!

    Do I understand this correctly? You have one modem with one ethernet jack on it. Only one computer can have access to the internet at a time, depending on who you plug in to the modem? If the computers have wireless capability, you don't have a wireless access point or wireless router, so you can't take advantage of the computers' wireless. You don't have a wired hub or more than one ethernet jack on the modem nor do you have a stand-alone router (that plugs into the single ethernet jack on the modem) with multiple ethernet jacks, so multiple computers cannot connect to the internet simultaneously.
    If this is the case, then when you turn on a computer that isn't plugged in, since there is no router there for it to obtain an address from (I'm assuming your computers are set up for DHCP), it is going to try to create/join it's own ad-hoc network and give itself a self-assigned address beginning with 169.x.x.x. (If you had a multi-port hub or wireless access point, with no routing capabilities, this is how you could set up an isolated network of computers without access to the outside world but with access to each other).
    Meanwhile, your modem is either giving the plugged-in computer a 192.x.x.x or a 10.x.x.x address (unless you changed stuff in it) or it is passing your public IP address presented to it by your ISP straight through to your plugged-in computer (that was plugged when when you booted up).
    So when you unplug one and plug in another, the network settings don't match. If you unplugged one and plugged in the other and then booted up the other one, I would expect to see a working internet connection at that point.
    If my original assumption of your home configuration is in error, please describe how you are set up, e.g., internet<-->modem<-->router<-->computers or whatever. Maybe do that anyways, even if my assumption is accurate. Describe whether your modem employs NAT or is in bridge mode? Does it have a DHCP server and is it enabled or is it set up for static IP on your home LAN? Describe whether your router, if not built into the modem, employs NAT or is in bridge mode? Does it have a DHCP server and is it enabled or is it set up for static IP on your home LAN? How are your network settings configured in your computers? DHCP or other (what)? A visit to your modem and/or router configuration pages, to see what the external WAN address (a.k.a. public IP address) (at least the first one or two or three octets), and what do your computers' sys prefs IP address, router address, and DNS server addresses say they are, would be helpful, too (you can safely divulge publicly full 192.x.x.x, 10.x.x.x, and 169.x.x.x addresses because they are not routable). I don't know about other folks reading this, but I would need to know quite a bit more about your home network architecture and configuration.

  • Computer stopped connecting to internet even though there is full signal and nothing has changed.

    so the other day i opened my computer and it wouldn't connect to the internet. it had been working fine before that and nothing had changed, it just stopped connecting. I have full signal and can connect to the network, but my internet signal on the top bar has an exclamation point and says "Alert: no internet connection." My roommates can both connect with their computers so i dont know the problem! i've looked for soulutions on other forums and havet tried deleteing "airport" as a source and then re-adding it, deleting the system configuration folder (a suggestion someone got from apple), renewing the DHCP lease, nothing works. help!

  • Firefox will not open websites, computer is connected to internet, IE 8 64 bit works, (but not 32bit).

    I had deleted some awful parental control software that had installed with my Wifi/broadband box on my son's new computer. I am sending this from mine so settings are a bit different. IE 8 64 bit works fine, but niehter firefox or IE8 32 bit will loada any website. Help, my son is not happy with his dad!

    If there are problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
    If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.
    *Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html):<br>File > Import and Export
    *Import the HTML file in Firefox:<br>Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Bookmarks from HTML

  • Installing Photoshop CS6 on second computer: "no connection to internet"

    According to the installation Instruction, Adobe 's single user license allows installation of a single product lincense on two machines. How can I stall Photoshop CS6 I bought last year to my second machine?

    Something is blocking your access to the Internet (or specifically Photoshop).
    This can happen when something like a spyware / Trojan / adware checker is over cautious. In my case it turned out that Spybot search and destroy was being over cautious.
    If this is what has happened to you you can try temporarily disabling your hosts file in the following way. This is assuming Windows 7 (you haven't said which version of Windows you are running).
    Navigate to the following folder:-
    %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\
    In my case this would be
    C:\system32\drivers\etc\
    Rename the file "hosts" to something else (in my case I called it "hosts - copy" but you can call it anything).
    Try your activation again.
    Then go back and change the hosts file back to its original name.
    This might solve your problem.
    Good luck

  • Mac Mini connected to internet, but claims not to be.

    Everything was working correctly when I went to sleep last night; this morning, Safari claimed that my computer wasn't connected to the internet. iTunes and Rosetta Stone both agree with Safari and refuse to do anything on the internet.
    I was unable to determine any setup problems with ping, dig, or curl, and Firefox is able to access the internet without any problems. I am using a wired Ethernet connection, and the AirPort is turned off. The Ethernet cable is plugged into a switch, which is in turn connected to my DSL modem.
    The IP address, netmask, gateway, and DNS server are entered manually and I have verified that they are correct. Network settings lists the Ethernet connection as "Connected". I have changed no settings since it was last working, and no one else has access to the computer or networking equipment.

    I posted in this forum looking for an expert's insight into the root cause of my problem. Had I just wanted the problem to go away immediately, I would have tried rebooting the computer (and possibly the networking equipment) before I posted. There are a few reasons why I didn't:
    1) There are several other computers and devices connected to the internet through the same networking equipment. They do not have any problem talking to the internet. The Mac Mini can also talk to the internet through this networking equipment; it is only some applications that are having trouble. None of this points towards problems with the networking gear.
    2) Some of the other computers that are connected to the internet through this equipment are running services that I do not wish to disrupt by breaking their connection to the internet.
    3) I am trying to diagnose and fix this problem, and rebooting the Mac will likely destroy any evidence of what is actually going on.
    4) Computer problems are almost never isolated incidents. While rebooting everything may make the problem go away for now, it still won't actually be fixed, and may reoccur at a significantly more inopportune time.
    So, to answer your question: No, I haven't tried rebooting everything and bringing it back up in a particular order. I would like to apologize for not including an actual question in my original post, which may have caused some misunderstanding as to what I was hoping to find. What do you believe could be the root cause of this issue, and what further steps could I take to help identify it?

    Probably also a good idea to provide info on the hardware you are using to connect to the internet.
