Snow Leopard and connecting to the Internet

Has anyone had intermittent or constant problems connecting to the internet since upgrading to Snow Leopard? I am trying to find the cause of the problem and I'm not sure if it's the Broadband provider (British Telecom) Faulty wiring (which has never been faulty before) or the fact I've upgraded to Snow Leopard as the problems occurred at the same time. I have had new wiring in the house plus a new router (BT home hub) but still the problems persist. The router switches itself off whenever I'm uploading or downloading any information. It can normally cope with loading web pages or emails, but as soon as the Macbook Pro switches on, it synchronizes with mobile me and that makes the router switch itself off. It does switch on afterwards, but the interruption not only upsets the sync but also the backup of my files. It is most annoying and as this problem started about the same time as I installed Snow Leopard, I'm trying to eliminate any issues to find the real cause. The system preferences refuses to accept a 'manual' setting for sync and the macbook continues to try to sync regardless of my attempt to stop it. So I've been unable to save files to backup with mobileme and sync my devices to iphone. If anyone out there has had the same problems as me, please get in touch. I've run the disk utility and Tech tool Pro but everything is fine according to these applications.

Similar problems Jane,
I am connecting and losing connection every few minutes. I use diagnostics to reconnect but it only lasts a short while. I have never had trouble before and still don't on my Power Pc and macbook booted in OSX 10.58, but 10.6.1 Snow Leopard will NOT behave. Browsing thru other mac related sites it seems the problem is a common one but have not found a fix yet.
I cannot connect to my Airport it says password invalid even though it is correct. My Airport Extreme Base is the original one (Space Ship Shaped) I wonder if it is no longer supported properly by Snow Leopard, Any ideas would be appreciated since I don't really want to revert to 10.5 but may have to if cannot get a fix.

  • "Unable to Reach Servers" and "Connect to the Internet" Error Messages

    Hi.
    So, I purchased Adobe Audition at $19.99 per month for a year.
    It hasn't worked yet. 
    I've tried all the online forum advice - drop firewall, check hosts file, check some certificate, remove/reinstall Audition ...nothing has worked.  I still get messages saying "Unable to Reach Servers" and "Connect to the Internet."  I'm ALWAYS connected to the Internet.
    I use Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, 64-Bit operating system.
    This needs to be fixed, or I want my money back.
    Someone please help.  I'm already 2 days with no access to something I've paid for.  I don't like this.
    -Karen

    Karen did you have any questions regarding the steps listed in Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CC, CS6, CS5.5 - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html.  If your membership is valid then there must be a connection error between the computer and our activation server.
    Are you on a managed network?  Do you utilize a hardware firewall or proxy server?

    My macbook pro was recently returned to me after having been lost. When I turned it on and connected to the internet at home, the activation lock activated. I put my password in and the macbook went to a white apple screen and now won't do anything else. How do I get it running again?

    Take it to an Apple Store. Take proof of purchase with you.

  • My mail program frequently asks for passwords that I have provided and saved many times.  I am running Snow Leopard and have run the Keychain repair a few times to no avail.  Is there a fix for this or do I have to find another email program?

    This is frequent, not just occasionally.  All cancel does is stop the email from coming through until I provide the password.
    I thought about it being on the provider's end but it never happened when I was using Entourage, I just don't particularly like that program.
    I don't understand why this problem has gone on so long without Apple doing something to fix it but I will continue to look for alternatives to the Apple Mail program.  If I find a good one I will let all know through avenue.
    Thanks again to all who tried to help.

  • If I bring up fire fox and not connected to internet I get and error when I shut it down and connect to the internet and bring firefox up it will not open unless I remove the prosses in task manager is this normal

    when shuting down Firefox after not being connected to the internet the processes remains and I have to go into task manager and remove the process manually or I get a message that Firefox is already started and it will not come up

    Sofar I have found (off internet),
    A)that if you go into sleep mode, the wifi shuts down or powers down.
    B)sleep mode must be disabled in order for wifi to continue.
    C)you can check this by going into wifi and seeing the iphone every 20 seconds or so looking.
    D)as far as handoff ,I still not to sure but I think BOOTH units must overlap each other in order to handoff from 1 to the other.
    Show much bs on the web that I have to filter the pages and there not enough time in the day to go thru it all.

  • Recently safari has been quit unexpectedly I've upgraded to snow leopard and I have the latest safari software. What can I do about it to rectify the problem?

    Recently Safari has been quitting unexpectedly. I've dumped my cache several times and even upgraded to snow leopard.l I have the latest version of Safari 5.0.5. The situation has gotten quite annoying and been going on for about three weeks now. What can I do to fix this short of bringing it to someone?
    I restart and it works fine for  awhile and then it quits again. I either restart and/or dump the cache AGAIN! This is getting quite tedious. I've even taken the battery out and reinstalled it. Nothing seems to stop the quitting.

    You don't need anything higher than OSX 10.6.8 to run iTunes 11.  iTunes system requirements - http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    You can't upgrade without more RAM.

  • Problem with an Internal IP number and connecting to the Internet

    I am having trouble connecting to the net. The IP number in my TCP/IP settings displays an 'internal' IP number begining with 169., instead of the correct one (beginning with 82.).
    I can temporarily solve this problem by running my ISP's Set Up Disc, however as it reverts back to the internal IP number on closing down, I have to run the Set Up Disc each time I start over.
    Anyone with any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers.

    I came across some info. titled 'Reinstalling Internet Access software' in a text file titled 'About Internet Access' in the Internet Folder. It says:
    "If you are experiencing frequent problems using any of the Internet Access programs, your Internet Access files may be damaged and need replacing. Before performing a clean installation of the Mac OS to replace the files you must throw away the Internet Access files in the Internet folder, the Internet Access extension (in the Extensions folder), and the Internet Preferences and Internet Setup Prefs files (in the Preferences folder)
    Note: When you throw away the Internet Preferences file you will lose your Internet account information. You can reenter it in the Internet control panel."
    I will follow that advice and reinstall from my ISPs' Broadband Set Up CDs.

  • ITunes stops working when it's not the active window and connected to the internet

    Hi,
    I have a problem with iTunes where it crashes, only when the wifi is on and connected to a network.
    Usually it occurs when I click onto another application outside of iTunes.
    I've tried reinstalling both iTunes and the Apple Application Support but the problem still occurs.
    I'm also on Vista if anyone has any ideas that would help?

    Along with the audio control surface, this would be a VERY welcome feature in my opinion.
    For those concerned about CPU drain, it should be possible to turn this feature on or off.
    When I'm editing fluidly in FCP I do in fact leave the timeline playing whilst I go to other windows to select an effect, tweak a bit of audio or even move to a different app - there's nothing unusual about this at all.
    Ultimately we all have our own ways of editing, but trust me, when you've been used to (and seen the benefit of) an NLE 'feature' you really miss it when the manufacturer chooses not to include it.
    Thanks
