Safari and internet connection

Safari is saying I am not connected to the internet when I am

No, I don't have that installed. It's hit and miss when it happens, just very annoying. Thanks tho!

Mail and Internet Connection conflict

I have a VPN PPTP connection running. Most of my other Mac internet apps run fine (Safari, Fetch), for that matter Mail can read new emails. The problem is that Mail won't send mail until I close the VPN connection. I figure this is a port conflict, Mail output and Internet Connection using the same ports, is there a way to change the port either is using? If so, any idea what I should change it to?

Client dns and internet connection

Hi,
Running 10.5.5 Server with basic DNS for inter clients to access AFP/SMB and Wiki services via Open Directory. IP address is 192.168.1.10
Clients currently receive internet via DHCP from a router and Network preferences autofills DNS and search domains with router address 192.168.1.1 and RP614v4 respectively.
If I add the server IP and search domain, I can't see the server via DNS name unless I reverse the order in the fields (192.168.1.10 and ######.private). However this turns the internet connection to snail pace.
How can I get the DNS to work for both the internal server and internet connection?
Thanks,
Joel.

If your DNS server is running correctly, there's no reason why it should resolve any slower than the router. The fact you're mentioning it implies that the delay is significant so I'll guess that your clients are requesting an address from your server, but that's timing out so they're falling back to the router before proceeding.
You should check your DNS server to make sure it's set to be recursive (so it answers queries for non-local domains, too). That way the clients can get all lookups from your server and you should be good to go.

Video and Internet Connection

So I bought this brand new Macbook Pro only two months ago, and already I'm experiencing issues with the video and Internet Connection. When I try to watch video, it plays for a few minutes, then completely stops, though it is buffered and loaded completely. It never starts replaying unless i refresh it, but then it happens again and again. Then for the internet connection, when im opening websites and everything, suddenly the it says "Sorry you are not connected to the internet" then after a few moments, it works, but this is very annoying. Websites also load very slowly. Is there anything I can do?

How many lines do you have on your wifi "fan" up at the top right of your computer and how far are you from the router? sometimes things like that happen when I sit a little too far from our wifi hub. If I show a good set of bars I have good internet flow etc. if just a single bar or barely, it gets dodgy.

Where have my speaker volume and internet connection notification icons gone?

This morning two 'notification icons' (at bottom right of screen) vanished: speaker volume, and internet connection. How do I restore them?
I have Firefox 6.0.2 running on Windows Vista

Great, thanks you two, much appreciate the help. They only say it will be restored ASAP. Has this happened before and how long did it take to fix? Also, I'm in the UK so I assume its a global issue?
Thanks

Safari disrupting internet connection

I've been reading some posts re Safari not loading pages and being very slow. I'm experiencing the same thing, however at the same time I'm losing my connection altogether (iTunes radio will no longer connect, etc.). Just wondering if it's possible that Safari problems would effect the connection. ISP tech is pointing the finger at me, however I have done nothing major to my system since I started my ISP account 2 mths ago (except minor software updates back on the 10th of Oct.). It all started this last week and has been very frustrating!
1. Safari does not "crash", just can't find the server anymore, is incredibly slow or just doesn't go to a page.
2. Modem has been reset and cable connection remains stable. All lights on modem good.
3. Can reconnect right away if I reboot, however connection remains unstable.
4. Can reconnect in about .5 hr. if I do not reboot.
5. Have reset Safari.
6. Prior to above stated trouble, if I left Safari open overnight (internet is always connected) it wouldn't work in the am and I'd have to reboot - this is now what is happening frequently, sometimes every 10 min.
I'm going to follow up on some suggestions here, ie. DNS servers and Safari prefs, however I'm really not entirely sure of the source of this problem and am not sure where else to look... maybe I'm in the wrong forum. Have double checked all settings and wires, etc. Need to have some back up if the finger needs to point back at ISP. Thanks so much!

Hi again,
Thank you for the answer to my questions. Yes may as well hold back on the itunes, a lot of updates all in one shot. Make sure to run disk permissions repair, before & after your apple updates.
See on updating A.Brodys site. & His post on updating albeit it is for 10.4.6 good practice for all updates a. Brody lets review.. his is the first post.
Which version of Safari are you running now, I ask because i see you recently did this update 2006-10-06 11:31:25 -0400: Installed "Safari Update" (1.3.1
Since you are running os 10.3.9, the most recent Safari version is 1.3.2
is that what you have?
if you have not done this update, I agree with Hawaiian_Starman, I think you should do the Mac OS X Combined Update 10.3.9 run disk permissions repair before and after, with the DU.
Booting with the CD is running Disk Repair not, disk permission repair
The differencesTravis A.'s Regular Maintenance/General Troubleshooting quick users tip article.
This below is from the Apple downloads page
Improvements include:
- network volumes are now available in the Finder sidebar and Desktop for convenient access
- file sharing and directory services reliability for Mac (AFP), UNIX (NFS), PC (SMB/CIFS), PPTP, and wireless networks

- updated PostScript and USB printing
- updated font management
- reliable disc burning and recording functionality
- Bluetooth compatibility for Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse and Bluetooth phones.

Mountain Lion upgrade and Internet connection problems ?

Since I upgraded my Macbook Air, it does not want to connect to my home Internet network anymore. My Ipad, Iphone and tablet PC are all working fine, but to connect to the network I need to restart and even reset my router to be able to connect. Needless to say, I lose connection when it gets into sleep mode and when it is shut down. Anyone having the same problem or a solution ?

I'm having similar problems with a 2012 13" MacBook Air. It's brand new, came installed with Mountain Lion.
I get disconnected from the wireless randomly and the wireless icons turns gray. Like you, I have an iPad, multiple computers and they all work fine.
Instead of restarting the router, I go into Safari and do a network diagnostics and it picks up the connection easily enough.
No solution as of yet, but I posted a topic here if you want to follow it:

169.254 ip range and internet connection

Hi,
I've got a iMac connected to a windows network.
The IP Range for this network is 169.254.92.x. (it's an historical setup, and i can't change it, due to all the PCs and windows servers...).
The imac can connect to internet via the router for a little time, but after some minutes, all the internet connections (mail, safari) stop working.
But, Internet Explorer in Parrallels Desktop is running well, which means that the network works fine.
Does Leopard don't work when it's network setup is set to a 169.254.X.X ip range?
Thanks for your answers (and sorry for my english )
Bertrand.

It takes less than 30 seconds to update a Windows machine's IP from fixed to DHCP, and perhaps a minute to either reserve an IP or to set the DHCP pool to exclude certain IPs and then to set those IPs as fixed on the servers. You could be up and running using DHCP in under a half hour. The odds are excellent that you have already spent more time than that dealing with the current problem.
If you're running Vista, the steps are:
1 open Network and Sharing Center
2 click on 'View Status' of your network connection
3 click on 'Properties'
4 dismiss UAC pop-up
5 double-click on 'Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties'
6 click on the 'Obtain an IP address automatically' radio button
7 click OK
You're done.
If you're running XP, the steps are:
1 open Control Panels
2 double-click Network Connections
3 right-click Local Area Connection and select 'Properties'
4 double-click 'Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)'
5 click on the 'Obtain an IP address automatically' radio button
6 click OK
you're done.
Doing this 53 times may be tedious, but will not take a significant amount of time.
Most routers from Belkin, Netgear, Linksys, and Apple will allow you to reserve an IP for a specific machine. Required steps are:
1 get the MAC address of the machine in question, either from the command line or the status dialog; see above to see how to get to the status dialog. You can get the MAC address while setting up DHCP.
2 launch the router control HTML page (or, in the case of Apple, AirPort Utility) and go to the section of the admin page which sets reservations.
3 enter the MAC address for the desired machine. The system will reserve a particular IP just for that machine. It will never be handed out to any other machine.
4 reboot the router
you're done.
The only machines which need reserved IPs are the servers and the printers, so you need do this only for the three servers plus whatever printers you have.
Let me be explicit: if you keep using APIPA for your network range, you will continue to have problems. You can continue using APIPA for something it was not intended for, and continue having to patch things after the fact, or you can move to one of the private network ranges (probably a Class C, as you only have 53 nodes, not counting printers) and eliminate the problem at the source. If you insist on using APIPA, you will have to update the NAT, DNS, and DHCP lists yourself, on each new machine added to the network. And you will not know when there's a network connectivity problem as you will have fixed IPs which show an APIPA address as a normal setting, instead of DHCP-set IPs which show an APIPA address only when there is a problem.
It's your choice. I'd spend the half-hour, but that's me.

Internet Dropouts and Internet Connection Trouble; POSSIBLE SOLUTION

Here is something that might help
I have had problems with this on my old G5, Intel Macbook, and More Recently my Mac Pro (past 4 years I have airport trouble)
I spent hours trouble shooting, the thing that ends up working for me three times so far has solved my problem
Here is a step by step instruction of what I did (continue anyway if you are not receiving the same circumstances/results)
Remember this is also a diagnostic method for yourself to see what is working and what is not so you can solve the problem. Also I still get network drop outs and sometimes internet performance decrease but a lot less frequently by performing the steps bellow. If your problem persists then I might be able to trouble shoot with you. In no way this method will be successful and your problem may become worse so use discretion when applying the steps below
1)Check "Console" to see whether broadcast is being dropped (utilities folder)
2)Make sure your problem persists with all other applications not running (including your virus software)
3)Reset Safari and continue loading to see if network performance is still hanging up
4)If slow loading persists/airport drops shut down computer and boot into safe mode by holding shift key (this empties cache stuff and does a few repairs)
5)Load Safari and see if slow loading persists (while in safe mode)
6)Go to disk utility and repair disk first (or verify)
7)If disk comes clean then precede to repair permissions, there are many errors that show up that are nothing to worry about "ACL found in different place" is one of them.
8)Shut down, (do not restart and wait for 10 sec, I have no idea why this happens and it does not make sense to me but I have restarted and ended up with some other problems)
9)Turn on computer and proceed to disk utility again (do not worry about airport, do not touch yet
10)Verify disk again (remember not in safe mode)
11)Repair permissions once again (different things are loaded into the permission system; plugins ect.)
12)Shut down computer again
13)Turn on computer and proceed to open network preferences and remove airport service (make sure your changes are applied)
14)Open key chain access
15)Delete your network password (if it exists) in "login" and in "system"
16)Shut down computer once again
17)Reapply all network configurations in the network preferences panel
18)Shut down computer once again and turn on
19)Check airport performance over the next 30 min or so by clicking links actively and waiting
20)If problem persists you may have corrupted files somewhere and may have to delete some preference files and perform the method above once again (to be safe I suggest running the disk utility test once again)
note: for some reason Leopard still remembers old network information even after deleting it. you need to find a way to keep leopard from using old preferences (it can be any of them). If all thus fails trash your router settings (on your router, factory defaults) and perform the steps above once again)
Please report abnormal occurrences like the "self assign ip address problem in network preferences" so we can narrow down where problems are mostly occurring"

I quote from the System Preferences Help:
If your computer is connected to the Internet, you can share its Internet connection with other computers on your local network.
For example, if your computer is connected to the Internet using a DSL modem and has an AirPort Card installed, you can share the DSL connection with other AirPort-equipped computers.
On Windows computers, sharing your Internet connection is sometimes referred to as a “network bridge” or “bridging your network.”
To set up Internet sharing:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Sharing.
Select Internet Sharing.
Choose the Internet connection you want to share from the “Share your connection from” pop-up menu. For example, if you’re connected to the Internet over Ethernet, choose Ethernet.
Select how you want to share your Internet connection in the “To computers using” list. For example, if you want to share your Internet connection over AirPort, select AirPort.If you share your Internet connection using AirPort, click AirPort Options and give your network a name and password.

New FIOS customer with dropped VOIP calls and Internet connection

I am a new FIOS customer. Got my 50/25 connection a week ago, switching from a TWC 6/1 connection. Ever since the new connection, I've had numerous issues.
My VOIP (Ooma) connection constantly drops and re-connects during conversations
I've had random Internet connection losses, which picks up again after a few minutes
My home alarm starts chirping every once in a while
I've contacted Verizon several times due to these problems and have received varying answers with no resolution of the problem.
The first time I spoke with support, the tech logged into my router and changed the WiFi channel saying that would fix the problem. It didn’t.
The second time I contacted them, the tech ran a bunch of diagnostics and said everything looked fine so it must be an IP address conflict with my devices, because I had a couple devices using static IP addresses. He said everythinf should be DHCP and the last two digits could not be higher than 99 (192.168.1.99). He said FIOS does not support 3-digit numbers at the end.
So I changed all my devices to DHCP and ran some online VOIP tests. It showed a packet loss of 2-5% and MOS score of 1 (which is bad). I was still getting dropped connections, so I disconnected all devices and connected just one computer to the router and tested again. I was still getting packet loss.
Then I called support a third time, this time the tech said there were no 2-digit IP restrictions and that he was detecting there was no UPS baterry backup for the ONT which was probably causing the problem, so he dispatched a field tech to my house.
Today the field tech came (same guy as before), he took one look at the box and said it was too close to my Electric meter and the RF from the meter was causing interference to the FIOS connection and resulting in dropped connection.
He moved the ONT to another location and said that should fix it.
Well, I'm still seeing packet loss and low MOS score when I run the VOIP test.
I don't know how much of what the techs are saying is true and how much is made up stuff.
Has anyone had similar issues and have thoughts on solutions or likely causes for dropped VOIP calls and connections? Could RF be causing this?
I thought going from a 6/1 Cable connection to a 50/25 FIOS connection would be awesome, but this has turned out to be a nightmare, and I may have to switch back to cable if the problem is not resolved.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks!

Don't know where the packet loss is happening. I ran the VOIP test on myspeed.visualware.com and it shows a packet loss of 2-5% at different times and a MOS score of 1.
The report says MOS should be around 4 for good VOIP calls.
The Verizon tech who came to the house just blamed the electric meter box for RF interference and move the ONT farther away.
My concern is that I'm getting different answers from different techs at Verizon.
Regarding IP addresses. The Router shows a DHCP range from 192.162.1.2 to 192.168.1.254 as available for devices on the network. So, if I need to assign a static IP to a device should I use a number below 99 or above 151?
Thanks!

Dock and Internet Connection Problem

Since downloading some software updates recently, my computer has been behaving strangely. Most notably, I no longer have an internet connection on my Mac. My Mac is the computer connected to my wireless router and my other computers pick up the internet signal fine. Network Diagnostics show all aspects FAILED.
This all became apparent when I hit F12 to access my Dashboard. All of my widgets were INOP and then my Dock went dead--wouldn't pop up. I had to restart my computer to get my dock to show.
Can anyone help?

Well after some troubleshooting, it looks like my network card may be the culprit. Does anyone know the cost of replacing one and/or where I can order one if it comes to that? Maybe it's just some settings (wishful thinking?). Can anyone help?

HT1725 My first time purchasing, downloading and watching a movie from itunes worked fine but the second did not! An error (unknown error 50) kept coming up no matter how often I tried resuming the download or restarting my laptop and internet connection

My first ever purchase and download of a movie was successful but the second didn't download and came up with
"error 50 has occured". I tried downloading numerous times again after checking my internet connection and rebooting my
laptop. Still no luck and the Itunes store have charged me. Any suggestions please?

This error can be quite common:

Bit of a strange question regarding security and internet connection

This is a bit of an odd question so bear with me for a moment.
I sold my old G4 to someone I didn't know yesterday. While he was looking at it to make sure it was working I allowed him to plug my ethernet cable in (connected to both a netgear router and a cable modem) and go online to install an application on the computer he was buying. It did't take long and I didn't actually see what he installed but after he left and I plugged back in to my mac pro, my internet connection started suffering. It started by being very slow and then timing out with servers. I reset the modem and even bypassed the router but the connection did not improve and eventually I could only get a self assigned IP address with no internet, although the modem appeared to be fine.
Aside from finding my I.P. address at my location, is there anything else he could have compomised security wise, either in the name of harvesting some kind of info or just creating a problem in the cable network when I let him use my connection on the g4?
I think that most likely I'm being a little paranoid but the timing of this is a bit strange. It literally went down hill just after he left.
Today the cable company is reporting a wider internet outage than just me but I just though I'd throw it out there to see if there are any security wholes exploitable when someone uses your internet connection (I would think and hope that there are not).
thanks a bunch

Well, in the closing the stable door approach it is a good idea to do a complete erase and install when selling any computer. There's lots of references to this and even one about removing a certain file so when they start up they get the brand new Mac greeting window. If you do not erase the drive using the secure erase feature in Disk Utility then with an $80 investment plus an empty spare drive the purchaser can likely recover any files you had on the computer recently if they consider it worth the effort.
I suspect the internet issue is not related to this, especially since your ISP commented about problems.

Windows 7 and internet connection issue

I am having a problem connecting to internet on Windows 7 OS. I have a Macbook that installed Windows 7 on Bootcamp. When I connect the DSL wire to my computer in dormitory it connects automatically. But when I go to somewhere else it doesn't connect. I also tried to connect using IP address which consists of 4-5 rows of numbers. Unfortunately, I cannot find the tab where I can enter these IP address numbers. So I was wondering if there is something wrong with my Network Driver (or may be it is missing some networking drivers).
The main reason I want to connect to the Internet in Windows system is because I need to activate Keyshot (which requires internet connection and it works only on windows platform). My teacher said if the IP system is different on the Windows installed Macintosh, then it may not activate the product. So I was wondering if my Windows networking system works differently from Windows system on normal PC. If so how to fix this connection problem. Sorry if my question is too complicated.
But again, I am able to connect on my windows at home. But this connection is still not allowing me to activate the software. As I understood, this program requires normal internet connection of Windows. I don't know what is wrong with my computer.

Thanks for the direction. Did you mention the Bootcamp forum within this Apple.com or are you talking about a forum that exists outside of apple.com (maybe some website solely devoted to Bootcamp or windows issues)?

Airport and internet connection

Can anyone help me with this? My internet connection has been a problem off and on for years but now, its unbearable. I have a wireless setup. For years I used my airport extreme base station to hook up to the internet. I would lose the connection and have to reboot the base station to get the internet signal back. Finally, I used my airport express as the base station and the problem disappeared for awhile but eventually, I had the same problem. My internet provider is Time Warner. I exchanged the modem and the cable. It was fine for awhile but here I am again! I just bought a new router, Belkin N Wireless Router and things seemed to be looking up but no! The signal is strong in one room but as I move to my living room which isn't that far (I live in a NYC apt) the signal fades out! This is maddening! Anyone got any suggestions on what is going on? HELP!

there are a lot of things that can affect a wireless signal. are there a lot of wifi's in your building? if so, they might be using the same wireless channel, which will cause interference, which you will see as the fading out.
there could also be something in the walls that is interfering with your wifi.
right after you reboot your wifi, is the signal good through out your apartment? if so, that would suggest to me that you're getting some kind of interference. do a google search for 'wifi locator's' for your operating system and find one that will list what channel each wifi is on. look through the list to see what everyone is using, and then pick one that is not in use by the others. the best channels to use are 1, 6 or 11.
you will also have to go into your router and do some advanced configuration, but the manual and their tech support should be able to help you with it.
