Problems with wireless internet on Imac

I have an IMAC since just over a year (MAC OS X vs. 10.6.6), and I have had over the last couple of months lots of problems with wireless connection.
Sometimes it connects without problem, but mostly I have to follow a 'Diagnostic Info' process: I select Airport, then select the wireless network, then have to restart, and then all lights turn green. I can connect then and only after a minute the pages do not load anymore.
Can anyone give me some troubleshooting tips ?

You could also have look at this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2790214&tstart=0
which has a couple of links I posted that may help troubleshoot your problem.
Rick's suggestion at looking at changing channels seems to be a good starting point.

Officejet Pro 8100 problem with wireless setup on iMac OS 10.10.4

I have recently changed my router and now need to reconfigure the wireless settings on my Officejet Pro 8100. I have installed the latest firmware from HP. Apple updates says that I have the latest driver for the printer. The disk that came with the printer does not work with the iMac 10.10.4. How do I update the printer to work with the new router?

Thank you "PrintDoc" for your interest.

My host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?

There are several possible causes for this problem.
1. Two (or more) computers on the local network have the same Bonjour name, such as "X's-MacBook-Pro.local".
2. You have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
3. A Mac wakes from sleep due to network traffic. This is due to a bug in OS X that may only affect some models.
4. A device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
5. A third-party wireless router has incompatible settings or firmware. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.
6. See also this support article.
Rename the computer in the Sharing preference pane.

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

Problems with Wireless Router and Adapter

I tried posting this in the wireless adapter forum but nobody responded :-(
I'm using a WRT54G Router btw, and the firmware is v2.02.7, Feb. 27, 2004.
Hi everyone,
I have a Linksys Wireless G Router and several computers that I try to connect with. One of them is a computer running Windows XP and using a Linksys Wireless USB B Adapter (WUSB11). Another is a laptop running Mandriva Linux using a Linksys Instant Wireless Network PC Card (WPC11). Another one is running Windows Vista and using a Linksys Wireless N card. I also have a laptop running Windows XP using a Linksys Wireless-G Notebook Adapter (WPC54G). I also have another PC running Windows XP and uses a Linksys Wireless USB Adapter WUSB54G. Finally, I have two macintosh laptops running OSX and with airport devices installed.
Anyway, I have problems with my internet connection frequently being interrupted and even sometimes I won't have a connection at all for hours. This occurs with my Linux laptop, the PC with the Wireless B Adapter, and the laptop using the Wireless G Notebook Adapter. In addition to this, the macintosh laptops have internet even more infrequently. However, I seem to never have a problem with the Windows Vista desktop or the Windows XP desktop that has the Wireless G adapter. I try repairing the connection and often it does not work. I have also tried resetting the router and the cable modem. I'm not sure what else I can do. I even bought a Wireless N router and had little success with that. We even went as far as moving the wireless router upstairs into our living room, thinking that the signal was somehow suffering from interference or that distance was a factor. Anyway, sorry for the long post but I could really use some help!
Thanks.

Hi… logon to wireless N router’s setup page, open I.E. an in the address bar type 192.168.1.1 it would ask for username and password, put "admin" as a paassword (default password) without any username...linksys setup pops up, click on on wireless tab and and try changing radio band to wide 40MHz, wide channel to 9 and wireless standard channel to 1 or 11, go to advanced wireless settings reduce beacon interval to 50, fragmentation and RTS threshold to 2304, change N Transmission rate to 270 MBps…also try upgrading latest firmware on router, check whether it makes any difference or not and let me know.

When I updated to 10.4.10, had problems with wireless. Able to fix problem

I have a mac mini G4 since Sep 06. I had no problems with wireless until I updated to 10.4.10. My problem was I could only connect to the internet for about 10 minutes then it would not respond. I had to turn off airport then turn it back on then it would work for about 10 more minutes. I have AT&T DSL, speed stream 4100 modem, and D Link 524 router. I went to D Link web site and found out when I use encryption WEP,WPA,ETC. it has to be hexadecimal key with dollar sign ($) before the hex key (Apple computers only). Before the update, I only used password with no problems for about 9 months. Instead of using a password use 64 bit encryption its 10 hexadecimal key or 128 bit encryption its 26 hexadecimal key. Valid hexadecimal characters are 0-9 and A-F. Example of 64 bit key is $0123456789 instead of password. After I did this, I been on the internet for hours with no problems. I hope this info can help out.

Take a look through some of the other threads in this forum. Almost 100% of Safari 3 trouble after the OS X 10.4.11 update is caused by third party plugins, extensions, and input managers. Check in these folders and report back what you have in them.
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins (this is the Library folder in the top level of your hard drive)
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins (this is the Library folder located in your Home (username) folder)
/Library/Input Managers
~/Library/Input Managers
Or if you know that you have installed some third party stuff along the way try un-installing them. Again, read some of the other threads here to see who the main suspects are. Once you know what is causing your trouble then, if you still want to use the third party plug-in, go to a site like [Version Tracker|www.versiontracker.com] and look for updated versions that work with Safari 3.

try rebooting your computer.

I'm having problems with my internet since I have upgraded. I am afraid to upgrade on my Macbook pro now. I don't want the upgrade to slow down my laptops. Any suggestions?

Wifi issues are one of the common issues being reported by users. There is not much you can do at this point but wait and hope that th 10.8.1 update will address these issues.

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.
Best regards,

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.

Organizer elements 11. Problem with your internet connection

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 am currently left with no partner services; facebook, flicker, picasa, etc.... I could reinstall organizer i guess to get the default services back...
I found discussions on the web but none with a solution. http://forums.adobe.com/message/4035670
Any help would be great

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.

Is there a fix yet for the no sound problem with lion on the iMac without having to restart every time I switch the computer on?

Try booting in Safe Mode by holding the the shift key immediately after powering on your system. Safe boot mode will for a directory check of your startup volume, then load only the required kernal extensions (kext files), and deletes some cache files. Once the system boots into Safe Mode you can simply restart the system to see whether the issue has been resolved.
If you still have the issue try resetting the SMC by shutting down the system and disconnecting the power cord for ~15 seconds, then reconnecting the power cord. Next, reset the parameter RAM (PRAM) by holding down the option-option-P-R keys after powering ON the system. Wait until the iMac restarts twice, then let the system boot normally.
