Problem with my internet

Hello
Since about a week ago all my Apple computers in the house (iMac + 4 MacBook's) stopped working.
The problem is that if I open Safari and try to go to a site, the adressbar gets blue for just a little piece, but won't load.
I also find it very strange that it doesn't just say that I don't have a working internet connection and instead it just tries to load for hours.
Any suggestions?

Try a different web browser.

If pinging 17.254.3.183 works but pinging Google.com doesn't. You have a bad DNS Server address.
I use Google.
Google provides free dns lookup.  Their numbers are:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
BDAqua suggests in a post.
You can use OpenDNS for looking up web addresses.
Put these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers for a try...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
I think they now pretend you need to join to use, but you don't.

  • Eliminate problem with getting internet explorer to connectup online

    When I attempt to bring up my internet explorer (IE) 11,  I get error message indicating there is a problem with the internet connection.  Please help me to resolve this problem. My computer is connected to the internet through a broadband linking
    me to the internet by wifi 

    Hello robertmaybury,
    Do you mean that the computer connects to the Wi-Fi and you can’t use Internet Explorer 11 to visit the website?
    Have you made any change before this issue?
    Can you normally use other programs like skype?
    Please take the following steps for troubleshooting:
    1. Run the command ipconfig /all in CMD and share us the result
    2. Run the command ping www.bing.com and ping 8.8.8.8, and then check if we lose the packages.
    3. Check if you use proxy in the Internet Explorer
    4. Check if we have correctly configure the DNS.

  • HT4623 I keep getting an error message "cannot connect to the internet."  Is this a problem with my internet provider, or has anyone else had this problem.

    I keep getting an error message "cannot connect to the internet."  Is this a problem with my internet provider, or has anyone else had this problem.

    I get that problem once in a while and I will not be able to connect to the Internet with any of the 5 or 6 (or 7 or 8 ) web browsers that I use on my iPad. The one thing that I do that has never failed to work for me is to close all apps on my iPad and reset the device. I can't guarantee that it will work for you, but this works for me every time I get the server failed to load/can't connect to the Internet message.... Or whatever the exact message is.
    If you have a ton of apps in the multitasking display, it can take a while to close them all, so you could just trey resetting the iPad first and that might be all that you need to do.
    Closing apps in iOS 7 works like this. Drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Problems with getting internet explorer on my mac with virtual box 4.3.20, who can help?

    This is what I did:
    1) downloaded and installed virtual box 4.3.20
    2) copied
    curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xdissent/ievms/master/ievms.sh | IEVMS_VERSIONS="11" bash
    in the Terminal (for IE 11 only). I got this from the link: Internet Explorer for Mac the Easy Way: Run IE 7, IE8, & IE9 Free in a Virtual Machine
    3) that is where things went wrong, see attached image for the error I get (after a long time) in the Terminal
    Tried it twice but every time the same problem.. I hope someone can help me!

    The error means that your download session was interrupted. There could be a problem with your Internet connection or a problem with the remote server providing the download. If you otherwise have no trouble with Internet, I suspect the later.
    But why would you want to bother downloading someone's virtual machine to run MS Internet Explorer? Not only is there a real security risk since you don't know what the VM or installation script is doing, but if the VM is running MS Windows, then the person providing the software is breaching software distribution and copyrights laws, and so will you, using the software.
    Btw, have you read any of the comments? Do you really want to download 20GB? (nonsense)
    If you need IE and VirtualBox, simply create a new VM and install MS Windows using a regular copy and enter your license code. There is also no need to install different versions of IE, since IE can be configured to run as a prior version.
    However, there is no need to install and run MS Windows to run IE. There are products that provide free Windows API to let you run PC applications as they were Mac applications without installing Windows, e.g. Wineskin, Wine Bottler, or commercial solutions, such as Crossover.
    See http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Internet-Explorer-on-Mac-Using-WineBottler

    I am trying to access facebook and Flickr via the Organizer with elements 11.  I went to preferences and cleared the oline services, when I try to refresh the partner services I am greeted with the error " there is a problem with your internet connection, check your firewall settings" .
    Windows 8, updated.  I tried disabling the firewall.  I have also tried making sure permissions are set up to allow all adobe products access through the frewall when it is enabled.   No other network managment services or virus scanners installed.  just default 64bit windows 8.

    I apologize for the delay.  An update was released shortly after I posted the question that resolved the issue.  Thank you for your assistance though.  As soon as I read your advice I went to my laptop to follow your instructions.  Upon opening photoshop I was prompted with an adobe update message.  After the update the issue was resolved.  Again, sorry for not updating the situation.

  • I'm having problems with my internet connection after installing OS X Lion. Is this a known problem or just a local problem?

    I'm having problems with my internet connection after installing OS X Lion. Is this a known problem or just a local problem?
    After +/- 10 to 15min my connection is gone.
    Does anyone have a sollution?

    Lots of people are having the same problem, you're not the only one, belieeeeve me.
    Just Googling the problem gets you tons of people complaining about the same thing, SOMETHING is up with Lion what wasn't happening with Snow Leopard. i just bought a new Imac and it CAME with Lion, so i started experiencing this internet dropout immediately.
    It's been going on for the most of a year it looks like (at least by the dates from the threads i've been reading)
    So your best bet is to fiddle with the System Preferences and read what other people have used to make theirs work. i'm doing that myself right now.  I already posted  a similar thread last night trying to figure out why my connection kept on dropping, i got a reply which linked me to a site. i followed the instructions there, so far so good, but i'm just being cautiously optimistic.
    i'm gonna call Apple today and see if they've found anything, though seeing as this is a problem right out of the box there may not be an immediate solution. Good luck hunting for a solution :3

  • Problem with my internet connection with Mail and others

    Hi
    I seem to have a problem with my internet connection that is through Ethernet. I have just downloaded the update to iLife 9 and the down load speed went from zero to 1.1BB/s but most of the time it downloads at speeds around 8KB/s also Mail some times returns mail sent but there seems to be no problem sending out only that things go faster out than in. My internet speed from my ISP is 500KB/s so as you can see I was at first happy that I was getting speeds in of 1.1MB/s. I have done a diagnostic test through network also fully run Norton and finally run utilities with no problems showing. My ISP is willing to come and have a look at my internet but I some how think it's my computer, any ideas?
    Thanks

    The first thing I would do is completely disable Norton AntiVirus; there are no viruses for Mac OS X, so it can't protect you from something that doesn't exist. It can, however, severely slow down your system. Do that and then restart Mail and see if the problem continues.
    You should also try creating a new User account and test Mail there to see if you experience the same problem; if so, then the issue is systemwide. If not, it's something specific to your regular user account.
    As for your download speed, it's not 1.1MB/s; it's 1.1Mb/s. Upload speed is slower than download speed for both Cable and DSL service. I doubt the problem is your modem/router, but you should try shutting down your Mac and the modem for a few minutes. If your modem/router has a reset button, use it, then restart it and your Mac and see if the problem continues.

    hello!
    i have a very big problem with my internet connection a 56k. i use internet with my internal apple modem (i have an ibook g4). sometimes it works well but sometimes, after being connected, my ibook freezes and i have a black window wich says: "you need to restart your computer".
    i do it, and when i want to connect again, i have a new message wich says " this port of communication does'nt exist. please check your setup and do it again" (in french) i check my preferences in the "preferences" and the modem doesn't appear!! see it my photos here (in french sorry):

    in order to use internet normally, i'm obliged to re-install tiger again and again!! i'm very hungry about this problem because since i'have my connection, i can"t use it as i want!
    please help me!

    Hi David,
    What you've described is a kernel panic. Since reinstalling the OS only alleviates the issue temporarily it's possible that your modem is failing.

  • How can we change the default folder location (avoiding problems with Temporary Internet Files)

    (Environment in question: Windows 7 secure desktop (running as user not admin), Office 2010)
    Hello,
      As has been touched on in various forums (such as here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/797451), when one opens a PDF attachment in Outlook, Acrobat and Reader store the file in the "Temporary Internet Files" folder (f/k/a OLK folder in previous versions of Outlook.  There are two major problems with this:
      First, as Microsoft has documented in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817878, attachments end up here staying here under certain conditions (go checks your now, you'll find some!), which ends up being a file attachment no man's land, and that can present security risks (e.g. if data we thought was deleted still lives in that folder).
      Secondly, the first time you open an attachment in Acrobat and do a Save As, Acrobat is defaulting to the Temporary Internet Files location.  This folder (as noted in the thread linked above) is ridiculously hard to get to for the average user, so they can end up storing a file and then losing it.
      We've found that if we open Acrobat once, do a save as, and change to the users Documents folder, the change sticks.  But how can we have Acrobat default to Documents instead of that temporary location? 
      Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Have you check to see if Acrobat sets a registry entry or file preference for the first Save As?  That's where I would start looking.  Process Monitor is a good tool for this.

  • Problems with accessing Internet through router (permanent IP)

    Hi.
    I changed hostname with sys-unconfig. Now computer has permanent IP address (non DHCP) and right hostname.
    Before this change I had access to Internet (hostname: "unknown" and DHCP).
    My computers access Internet through router.
    There is ping from my computer to router and another computer. Also other computer pings my computer.
    In DHCP tables my computer does not exist.
    I created file /etc/defaultrouter with IP of my router.
    Trying to access Internet, web browser (Mozilla) writes: "<site.com> could not be found. Please check name and try afain."
    I think there is a problem with DNS.
    How to configure my computer on Solaris 10 to access the Internet with current configuration?
    Thank you.

    To test DNS services without a browser (ie, to see if the
    system can be a DNS client), first use the command
    'nslookup'
    # /usr/sbin/nslookup sun.com
    Server: miki-class-gla.eclecticgroup.co.uk
    Address: 10.23.0.1
    Non-authoritative answer:
    Name: sun.com
    Address: 72.5.124.61
    # /usr/sbin/nslookup google.com
    Server: miki-class-gla.eclecticgroup.co.uk
    Address: 10.23.0.1
    Non-authoritative answer:
    Name: google.com
    Addresses: 64.233.167.99, 64.233.187.99, 72.14.207.99
    If this doesn't work, then your system isn't talking to a
    DNS server at all at all, so you need to check the contents
    of /etc/resolv.conf.
    If it does work, use the command 'getent' to check that your
    system as a whole is querying DNS for name-IP resolution.
    EG.
    # getent hosts sun.com
    72.5.124.61 sun.com
    # getent hosts google.com
    64.233.187.99 google.com
    72.14.207.99 google.com
    64.233.167.99 google.com
    If you don't get back IP addresses, your system isn't
    correctly configured as a DNS client.
    Look at /etc/nsswitch.conf, and find the line
    that starts 'hosts'.
    If it says
    hosts files
    then the system is not a DNS client.
    To correct this, edit that line to add the word dns on the end:
    hosts files dns
    That's it. No need to reboot.

    Well today my phone is in bad mood and doesn't connect to my home wifi, so I guess another firmware is coming.
    No idea how my phone will behave with the new 7.40 firmware now available at Nokia's website.
    You could check if there is a firmware for your specific phone following the instructions at this main nokia website. Remove the battery and write your product code since you will need it when checking if the software is available.
    There are several posts about how to update your firmware but one thing is sure, you must do a complete backup of your phone and be prepared to reinstall some of the software you installed later and even the ones that came with your phone so have your registration codes writed down.
    You need to have the latest Nokia PC suite or download the NSU (Nokia software updater), have the battery fully charged and SIM must be inserted, backup also the memory card just in case.Message Edited by robmir on 01-Dec-200701:36 AM
