Problems connecting to internet after installing Leopard

I have been having problems connecting to the internet after installing Leopard. I have a G5 at my office and use safari and AOL, using a cable modem and router. Everything worked perfect until I installed Leopard. About 3 days after installing Leopard on my G5 I started having problems connecting to the internet. When opening "network" in preferences it tells me I am connected, but I cannot connect. So I have to restart my computer every time in order to connect. Then to top it off, often in the middle of the day I am able to get and send e-mail with AOL, but my Safari does not connect. And even more bizare, if I am connected and sign off my AOL, I lose Safari as well. Brought the G5 into the Mac store and after trying some stuff they told me "it should work now" but ....same problems. So last Monday, I installed Leopard on my Macbookpro which I use at home wirelessly, everything worked well until yesterday when the same issue with my G5 is happening with the macbookpro. No connection, it tells me I am connected, signal is strong, but nothing.....so restart and keep going. What is going on? Anyone else having same problem? Any solutions
Roberto

Roberto,
Is the install of Leopard on the G5 and MacBook Pro an upgrade install or a clean install?
Try some simple maintenance to see if this resolves it:
1. Run Repair Disk Permissions (Disk Utility)
2. Go to Network Utility and go to Ping enter in www.cnn.com and see if the packets are received/sent. This is just to see if you can get to the outside so to speak
3. See if your cable modem manfacturer has a leopard upgrade. Sometimes hardware companies need to upgrade their firmware when new Operating systems come out

Problem connecting to internet after NEW 27" iMac makes up from sleep

Ok, I have a brand new 27” iMac and when it connects to the internet after waking up from sleep mode doesn't have any download speed.. See image
This only happen when it wakes up and the only way to fix it is to restart the computer. I have tried turning on and off the airport as well as messing around with other settings and nothing seams to fix it.
I am using an Apple Airport Extreme with a Comcasts 20mb connection.
This is the only computer in the house that has this problem (3 other MacBook Pros) And while the iMac is registering no download speed, the other computer are cranking out at over 20mbps.
The fix for now has been turning off the power saving setting to allow sleep. so no sleep=internet.
Any one having this problem? I don’t really want to lug it back to the apple store but I will if I have to.

Change your router channel. Sometimes this all you will have to do.
I don’t really want to lug it back to the apple store but I will if I have to.
You don't have to. Call Apple tech support. They can give you instructions over the phone if the issue is just software. You will have to bring it in if tech support suspects you have a hardware issue as they need to run diagnostic testing.

Connecting to internet after installing snow leopard software

I just uploaded the new snow leopard mac os x v10.6 software and after my computer restarted it wouldn't connect to my wifi like it usually does. I'm able to get the connection and it says that there's full bars but my webpage says I am not connected. There's also an exclamation mark where the signal usually is. If anyone could help that would be great! Thank you

To get started, try these possible fixes:
1. Go System Preferences > Network > Location.
Edit location (whatever name you want).
Click + and then click done.
Try your wifi/browser.
2. Go Finder > Your HD > Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration.
Move the SystemConfiguration folder to your Desktop for safekeeping.
Restart.
Try your wifi/browser.
3. Go Finder > Your HD > Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration.
Move the SystemConfiguration folder to your Desktop for safe keeping.
Go System Preferences > Network > Delete all locations, and use Automatic.
Restart.

Wrt320n - problems connecting to internet after few hours of uptime - firmware version 1.0.02

Hi,
I've just bought wrt320n and I've experienced some problems with internet connection from the first day.
After some time (may be hours or one time was 15 minutes) of using the internet ( in general when playing games online like "Anno 170" and "Heroes of Newearth" ) the router hangs.
Not only the internet connection is down but the router stops responding on all ethernet ports, the admin interface can be accessed with wireless devices.
The PPPOE connection to the Internet can only be restored after unplugging the power cord of the router. Software reset from the http admin interface, or hardware reset from the router back button has no effect.
I suspect it is some problem with something controlling the ethernet ports since all are blocked and the internet comes through one of those ports.
I have to mention that one PC is using Gigabit Ethernet.
I hope some solution appears to this problem because I don't want to and don't have the time to go to return it.
Thank you in advance for any advices ,
Silviu

Have you tried to reset your Router and Re-Configure all the settings on it back again. If not then Press and hold the reset button for 60 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 60 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
On the set-up tab change the MTU Size to 1365 and click Save Settings...
Once you configure all the settings on your Router, now check if you are facing the same connection problem.

Safari 4 no longer connects to Internet after installing

The Software Update automatically installed Safari 4. Now, Safari 4 errors with "Safari can't connect to the server" regardless of what address (both alphanumeric and numeric) I type in and iTunes errors with "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. The network connection was refused."
However, Firefox is able to access the World Wide Web and I'm still able to access files on my Windows computers on my network.
I've already:
1. Repaired permissions with Disk Utility
2. Tried Safari in a new user account
3. Removed the preferences file
4. Cleared the caches
5. Deleted .com.apple.safari.plist
6. Emptied the trash and restarted the computer
But it still cannot access the Internet. I don't see any option to uninstall Safari 4 and go back to Safari 3.

HI Raymond,
Try using Open DNS.
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu. Click on TCP/IP and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' enter the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(An explanation of why that is both safe and a good idea can be read here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
Open DNS also provides an anti-phishing feature: http://www.opendns.com/solutions/homenetwork/anti-phishing/ )
If OpenDNS doesn't work for you, download the 10.4.11 combo update available here.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eppc.html
Then repair disk permissions...
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Problem Connecting to Internet after recent Software Updates from Apple

I have an old iMac 15" flat panel, running OS X 10.3.9, just ran the Software Update an hour ago. Now my computer won't connect to my wireless network via the Airport. I tried to open the Internet Connect apps from Apple and it won't even load, it has this swirling beachball has been on for 15 minutes and it says "Loading Internet Connect..."
Anybody experience something like this! Could this be another Apple blunder with their software update?
I tried, restart, remove the plist of Internet Connect, all those did not help!
Please help. Thanks

Try resetting Airport as per this article;

By the way, if your problem has not been solved then leave it as unanswered until such time it is, as you will get more responses.

Problem with chess after installing Leopard

The other week I did an Archive and Install of Leopard on my MacBookPro running Tiger. Several applications failed to work following the install and this has been solved by downloading new versions. Although chess seems to be more problematic. Every time I launch chess I just get a message saying that chess has unexpectedly quit. However this behaviour is starting to become expectable. I have read other posts reporting similar problems after installing Leopard however they are able to play a couple of moves before it quits. For me chess does not even launch.
I have tried trashing the preference file, creating and using a new user account, and copying chess from another computer. The copied application just states that I can not use chess with this version of OSX.
Does anyone have any ideas as I really do not want to have to reinstall Leopard just for a application I only use when very bored (which is surprisingly often).
Thanks for any help you can give.
Chuck

Thanks for pointing out that app. Very useful indeed.
I have deleted my copy of chess and reinstalled a new copy from the OSX Leopard install disk and it still fails to launch.
Any other ideas?

Problems hotsynching addresses after installing Leopard

I've had no problem synching my Tungsten E2 before, but after installing Leopard on my MacBook, the addresses are no longer synching either from my Mac to my handheld or vice versa. The calendar seems to be synching just fine. There's nothing wrong with my conduit setting and the messages tell me the synch "has worked" but obviously it hasn't--there's no changes in either address book. I have addresses both on the computer and the handheld now which don't exist on the other, so I don't want to do a complete override.
I called Palm Tech support and plunked down my $14.95 and the woman there could only tell me to check my conduit settings, something I had already done. No help there.
Also, there are some addresses that are more up to date and correct on one device or on the computer and I can't figure out how to compare the two so I can choose the most recent changes to be the "master."
I'd love any help you can give me. the first problem, obviously is more pressing!
Thanks, Laura
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

Same here with a Centro/ palm phone from Verizon. It's picking up the phone numbers, but leaving nothing for the addresses. It was working fine with synching both addresses and numbers, but it seems like after the latest update, it dropped the addresses. Will be searching other forums for an answer. Using a MacBook Pro with 10.5.5. (Although registering for this forum I could only chose 10.4 as my operating system. Come on Palm... you do know Apple has released a new OS, don't you?)

After installing Leopard I cannot connect onto company server

After installing Leopard I am unable to connect to our company server. I was able to see the server when I was on tiger. I tried to connect the server manually but it seems I can't even do that. What to do next ? Server connects both PCs and Mac in the office.
I went into finder preference and click connect to server. I don't see any of our three servers that I saw on tiger. Not sure what to do next.
I get the message
The server does not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and your network connection and try again.

I wish I was writing with an answer, but all I can really offer is that "I feel your pain". In my case, after upgrading to Leopard, I can see many, but nowhere near all, computers on our network, and there's no obvious explanation for who appears and who doesn't. Worse, I can see the one I most need to see (my administrative assistant) but there is no option to file share through drop boxes or any other mechanism we've found (despite enabling those options in preferences) and the only option listed is to "share screen" -- which is interesting since my assistant's computer is running Tiger, and selecting it on my end fails every time!
What gives!?! It's tough being the local mac evangelical when s**t like this goes down!

Disk permissions problem after installing Leopard

Hi!
I performed a Repair Permissions after installing Leopard. Firstly, I noticed that this procedure took a lot longer than before the upgrade. I also received the following error messages -

What does all this mean? How can I fix it?
Thanks.

You suggest I reinstall all of Leopard and then update to 10.5.1?
No. Download and install the standalone 10.51 updater without reinstalling the entire OS.
I found 2 Remote Desktop updates (Client and Admin) - version 3.2. Are these for Leopard?
Use the client version.
How will this help my problem?
Those are status messages. You don't have a problem.

Sites I visit most often won't work immediately after installing Leopard

Immediately after installing Leopard the three sites I visit most often won't pull up at all. They just show an error as if the MacBook isn't connected to the internet.
Other sites pull up fine.
These three sites I am trying to visit pull up fine on other computers.
These three sites won't work regardless of what wireless network I'm on.
The problem is exactly the same between Firefox and Safair.
What suggestions do you have or where can I start?
Thanks a ton guys

Figured it out. I have a program called SelfControl that helps block sites that you find yourself killing a lot of time on. Well after the update it appears that it was somehow activated and thus wouldn't allow those sites to come through. Unique problem.
All fixed now.

My external drive went dead after installing Leopard

Hey guys
I'm very bummed out, my external HD went dead after installing Leopard on my Dual 2.3 GHz PowerPC G5. It was working perfectly fine before, had not a single problem with it but now, I've just lost all my work. I tried Disk Utility from the disc with no luck, it gave tons of errors and it say it couldn't be repaired. Now, it doesn't show up at all. Every single time I connect it I get a message saying the disk I inserted is not readable by the computer. This is a 200GB Maxtor external drive. Is there anything I can do to fix it? Any hardcore Software to retrieve my files? I'd appreciate if anyone can help me with this.
Thank you in advance

Movies are currently a one time download. Because of this, it is your responsibility to back them up so when something like this happens, you can simply copy them over the new drive.
You can't download them again with purchasing once again.
