Since installing mavericks my imac keeps failing to connect to the internet

what is wrong with my mac i have just installed mavericks and my internet connection keeps failing any ideas

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them; in that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate. Any change?
If possible, connect to your router with an Ethernet cable and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
Are any other devices on the network, and if so, are they the same?
If you can connect to more than one network, are they all the same?
Are all network applications affected, or only some? If only some, which ones?
Is networking always the same, or is the problem intermittent?
Disconnect all other devices from the network. Any change?
Start up in safe mode and test. Any difference?
Start up in Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. Any difference?
If possible, turn off Bluetooth and disconnect any USB 3 devices. Any difference?

HT6162 Hi guys, I downloaded this new iOS7.1 but it always fails to install. It says I am not connected to the Internet while I have all the network and second excuse it gives is that the software update is currently unavailable. Please help.

Hi Romantilizer,
Hook your phone up to iTunes on the computer you sync with and do your update from there. This is a robust iOS release, and doing it OTA is not always successful. I tried on my iPhone a couple of times, and it aborted the update twice. Did it via the Mac, and it was fine.
It takes a bit of time, so hook it up, make sure it is updating your phone, and then find something else to do for a couple of hours.
Cheers,

My iMac won't stay connected to the internet, even though all other computers in my house stay connected

My iMac won't stay connected to the internet, even though all other computers in my house stay connected, and its connection is set up the same way my fiance's macbook is (his macbook is about three years older than my iMac). Every time my computer goes into sleep mode and I come back (even if it's mere seconds after giving the black screen) I have no internet connection. I discovered a workaround for it some time ago, but now that is working less and less, and now my computer randomly disconnects WHILE I'm actively using the internet. Just a few minutes ago, the connection refused to come back until I restarted my computer, even though once again all other computers in the house were connected. The workaround I discovered before and which doesn't work as reliably now, is to click opne Airport at the top right of the screen, click "Open Network Preferences," then click "Assist me," then click "Diagnostics," and wait for everything to turn green again, signalling a connection.

Let's check the quality of your connection since signal strength alone does not insure a good connection. The "bars" that you see at the top of the iMac screen are there pretty much for show.
Hold down the option key on the iMac while you click on the Apple icon at the upper left corner of your screen and select System Profiler
Look down the list of items at the left of the window until you find the setting for Network, then click on AirPort.
In the window to the right, look for any listings of your wireless network name. You may possibly see two listings for the wireless network name.
We need for you to list the information that you see for Signal / Noise. These will be negative numbers. Post back with your findings and we will continue.
In the meantime, please move any cordless phones that you have or any other electronic devices that are near the iMac as far away as possible from the iMac.
If the iMac is located in a corner or an enclosed area, give it as much room as possible since the wireless antenna is on the back of the iMac and it needs to be able to "see" the room.
Anything that you can do to minimize the number of obstructions like walls or furniture etc between the iMac and the wireless router will help the cause as well.

My iphone 5 won't make a call when i fail to connect to the internet via 3g

My iphone 5 won't call when i fail to connect to the internet via 3g.
At work i dont have wifi i have 3g, if i launch say the sky go app,or the iplayer, sometimes they work and everything is fine...sometimes they wont load as 3g for whatever reason cant get a connection at that particular time........ if i then try and make a call the call will fail. I've experimented 25 + times and this is definately the cause.
(note: when the 3g connection does work, the phone has absolutely no problem calling people)
Anyone had this problem?
Even better has anyone got a solution?
Thanks,
Nick.

Are you sure that the carrier's signal is strong where you are having this problem? Certain building structures and locations have poor cellular signal strength and this often results in the "No Service" indication. Are other users able to get service in the same locations where you have problems?

When trying to install downloaded software I am prompted to connect to the internet but I already am connected and the software will not install.

When trying to install downloaded software I am prompted to connect to the internet but I am already connected. This also occurs when trying to install an Adobe update.

A cable modem always needs a complete reset whenever you change the device that it is connected to.
To get your Internet signal restored, it will require at least one major step including the reset of your modem and complete network power cycle.
If that is not successful, the second major step is to reset the AirPort Extrreme back to factory defaults and then combine the steps above again.
Try this first:
Push the reset button on the cable modem (if present) and pull the internal batter (if easily accessible) then power off the modem
Power off everything else on your network....all devices....order is not important
Wait at least 20 minutes...longer will not hurt
Make sure that the Ethernet cable from the modem is connected to the WAN port (circle of dots or world icon) on the AirPort Extreme
Re-install the modem battery if it was pulled in the step above
Power up the modem and let it run for 4-5 minutes by itself
Power up the AirPort Extreme and let it run for 4-5 minutes
Power up each other network device one at a time about a minute apart until everything is powered back up
Check the network for proper operation

I keep getting 'Please connect to the internet and retry' error message.

I've signed out of creative cloud on my Macbook Pro in order to use my log in details on another Mac (rented for an onsite edit abroad), I now want to return to using creative cloud on my Macbook but I'm having issues signing back in. I keep getting the 'Please connect to the internet and retry' error message even though my network is working fine, I have tried connecting on my home wifi and the network at my office. Does anyone know how I can sign in and use my Adobe apps?

Since updating my ipad it will no longer connect to the internet

since i've updated my software on my ipad it will no longer connect to the internet. my husbands iphone will not connect either. my laptop connects immediately and my internet signal is full strength. is there something we are missing?

Hello dchoffa,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I would start with this troubleshooting from the article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
If the above troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, I would next try the troubleshooting in one of the other sections down toward the bottom that fits your scenario.
Regards,
Sterling

IMac Can No Longer Connect to the Internet

My parents use a 2006 Intel Core Duo iMac (the 17", 1.83GHz model) running OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard). They typically connect to the internet using a wireless network set up using an Airport Extreme with RCN as their ISP.
As of yesterday, the computer can no longer connect to the internet, while all other computers in the house, both Mac and PC, still can. I've tried power cycling the modem and the router, connecting using ethernet, and connecting the computer directly into the modem. Thus far, none of these attempts have succeeded. I've taken a look at the network settings for the computer and while networking is most certainly my thing I wasn't able to detect a change. As a last ditch attempt I tried using Google's public DNS service, rather than RCN's default, but that made no difference, so I've reverted it.
I realize that the information available in this thread is almost certainly too little to guess at what the problem might be, but I'm more than happy to fetch information that might be helpful in finding a solution.
Thanks for taking the time to read the problem; hopefully there's an obvious solution.

"Drive is dead????" what in this thread gives you that idea? What card might be failing?
Agent: do you have any Input Managers (might be called Input Methods) either in the Home Folder/Library or in the HD/Library (not /System/Library.)
Yes, do try another Account and test for this there.
I know you've already tried Google DNS, but try OpenDNS
You don't need to go to the OpenDNS site to use OpenDNS. Simply open Network>Advanced>DNS in Sys Prefs and enter the following numbers for the interface you use, e.g. Airport or Ethernet,
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Hit OK and then Apply. Make sure those numbers are entered above any others you may have there.

Balkin AC1000 DB fails to connect to the internet

I have a 2009 MacBook Pro 15" and I recently moved to a new town living in student accomodation. Each room has an ethernet port which connects directly to an extended LAN network. When I connect my mac directly to the ethernet port the internet works perfectly, I am even able to share the connection over wifi so that my iPhone and iPad are able to connect to the internet.
I bought a good router so that I could generate my own private network from the extended LAN without losing too much of the 100 mb/s speed from direct connection. When I connect the router to the ethernet port in room (the modem), im able to connect to the wifi network, and in my settings I have a green light under wifi for internet access, IP address and everything else - except there is no internet access. I can open safari and chrome and nothing connects to the internet.
I am also not able to access the internet when I connect the laptop to the router via ethernet cable, while the router is also connect to the modem via ethernet cable.
When im connected to the router over wifi im able to access http://router/ despite the CD programs (belkin router setup) not being compatible with OS Mavericks so im still able to set the router up. I spoke with tech support and they said i needed to manually set up the router using these steps (I had tried it before except for cloning the MAC address) so i gave it a shot and still nothing.
1. Press the Reset button at the back of the router for 30 seconds while it is powered on. Then unplug it from power for 1 minute afterward.
2. Plug the router to the modem and plug the main computer to the router's port 1.
3. Open a browser and type http:/router or http://192.168.2.1 on the Address bar. If it will ask you for a password, just leave it blank and hit OK/Submit.
4. Under the Internet WAN, click MAC Address. Click the Clone button to Clone Computer's MAC Address and hit Apply Changes.
5. Go to Wireless >Channel and SSID, change the SSID to any name you want your network to be and hit Apply Changes.
6. Go to Security. Set the Security Mode to WPA-WPA2 Personal mode and enter a wireless password (should be at least 8 characters, no spaces and special characters) and click Apply Changes.
7. Unplug the router from power for 1 minute and restart the computer to check the connection.
I feel like it should be quite simple considering i can turn my mac into a router, but I cant seem to turn my router into a working router.
Any ideas?

I may resort to that, once i figure it out ( i tried messing with DHCP and i eventually had to restore the router to its factory settings because i could no longer connect to it).
Ive noticed now that the firmware is now out of date (or always was) v 1.00.05 is the version im on, however v 1.00.28 is available for download off the belkin website, which I downloaded.
Problem I have now is that when accessting http://router/ while connected over wifi, the firmware update page doesnt recognise the file type and says "the file type or version is incorrect" and so the firmware doesnt update.
Annoyingly, it is the correct version/file type.
I hope all i need to do is get the firmware updated...

Hi, I am running the latest version of Firefox and at times it fails to connect to the internet. This is a intermittent problem. It also (sometimes) take very long to open after I open Firefox?

Firefox does not always connect to the internet or is very slow to open. It is not with specific sites and when it does happen I have to either wait or shut down and restart the computer. It does not happen with my other browsers. (Google chrome)

I have been having the same problem, it's as if Firefox's internet connection is broken at intermittent intervals. I tried disabling all my plugins, creating a new profile, everything on the page below and even updated to version 8, but nothing helped. I think it's been happening for a weeks or so, maybe since an update(?) but it seemed a lot worse today. It's not my connection as I've been using Chrome as an alternative which works fine. I have not tried rebooting my machine.
