Snow leopard no internet connection

i have just updated to snow leopard on my imac and now I cannot connect to the internet any answers please?
I am not very impressed that I have paid my money to waste time.

I am sorry to hear your Internet isn't working, however you really haven't given anyone here enough details to be able to help you.
How do you connect to the Internet? (Wireless/Wired)
Is there a router between you and the Internet, or are you directly connected to the modem? (if you are using wireless, it's probably a router)
When you look at the Network Preference Pane, does it say if you are connected? If you are connected, what is the IP address that you have?

After upgrading to Snow Leopard no internet connection anymore

First of all thanks to all of you trying to help others with Mac related issues.
Now I have an issue: I just upgraded my iMac from Leopard 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard. The iMac is a lot faster now BUT ....... I have no connection to internet anymore. Safari, Firefox, Mail, iChat and Messenger all can not get connected to internet.
However Skype is connected to internet!!
I have a wired connection to my TC. My Mac Mini (with Leopard 10.5.8) works fine.
I am lost. I hope that there is somebody that can help me. Thanks.

I have decided to take the serious measures: I have made a fresh install of Snow Leopard and restore my apps and docs from the backup. Now everything works fine. Do not know why this happened in the first place.
There is another discussion on the forum: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10887963&#10887963

I have a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. After connecting my HP Photosmart D110 to it, the printer works but the scanner doesn't. The message is"The scan cannot be performed because another program has control of the HP imaging device". Can anyone help?

Found the answer on the HP site. It's the original software that works with this printer OS X 10.6!!

Just installed mac osx snow leopard upgrade and connected my printer to it too, and realized I have no sound anymore

Just installed mac osx snow leopard upgade and connected my printer too, and realized I have lost sound!   Can anyone help?

In case I misunderstood, did you mean that the 10.6.3 version of Snow Leopard was the upgrade? If so you need to update via 10.6.6 to 10.6.8. These updates can correct minor system upsets.
And ... did you also repair permissions both before and after you upgraded.   You should do this when you progress via 10.6.6 to 10.6.8 too.

Connecting Snow Leopard to internet via VMWare / WinXP Mobile pendrive

Hi there,
I'm in India and to get on the internet have picked up the Tata Photon+ USB Broadband hub (pen drive dongle) which doesn't work in Mac (nothing in India seems to...) This allows me to access the internet through VMWare 3/ WinXP.
It must be possible to get Snow Leopard to access the internet via my virtual XP machine surely? This would allow me to use Mail and so on as normal within Mac OS with XP running in the background and connecting to the Tata pen drive....
Thanks for any help!
Tony

Interesting, thanks for the report/tip!

Frustrating Snow Leopard Upgrade Causing 'connection timeout'

WIFI problem no connection due to a connection timeout everytime i try and connect to my home wifi network (wired ethernet ok no problem).
There seems no way out from this. Apart from downgrading back to a usable Leopard installation which I have done and tried to upgrade again.
Unfortunately i need Snow Leopard at minimum for some software to work but that knocks out my internet connection.
I have tried everything I have found. The only thing that reliably works is to set it back in the time machine before upgrade.\\
Some bug exists in upgrading, and it remains with removing system setting plist files, adding extra network locations, altering MTU, adding dns (never even connects to router under SL. so its not hardware), repairing permissions.
Everything else connects fine.
ANYONE HAVE ANY EXTRA INSIGHTS ?
Seems like lots of people have had this issue on upgrading to snowleopard.

After upgrade to Snow Leopard, unable to connect to secure WiFi network

Hi all-
I recently upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro. Immediately following the upgrade I found I could no longer connect to my home wireless network (WEP encrypted, D-Link router) which was working just fine before the new O/S was installed. Airport will connect to a neighbor's unsecured network (fortunately, that's how I'm connected at this moment.) My home connection is WEP encrypted and I am certain of the pass key.
I have read other posts on this topic and have tried the following things to resolve:
1. Reset home router after turning Airport off, then turned Airport on again and attempted to reconnect. Error says "connection failed."
2. Created a new location and a new connection. Same error.
3. Logged on with the admin account (though I as a user also have admin rights), created a new connection, same error.
4. Renewed DHCP Lease, same error
5. Deleted all keychain entries related to wireless networking
I'd appreciate hearing any other suggestions about what to try. I do not want to make any changes to my router, as there are other devices connected, and I don't want to risk breaking anything that is not already broken.
Thanks in advance for the help-

Hello Rodney, and thanks for your reply.
I can access the router. I'm just afraid to change anything about the config, as there are multiple computers plus an X-Box which rely on the connection. If I break the X-Box connection my husband is going to be very unhappy with me.
The router is a D-Link DSL-2640B. It took me over a week to get our computers connected to it originally. It's less than three months old.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Clawless Leopard: No Internet Connect!

To my dismay, I could not locate the previous Internet Connect utility under the brand new Leopard.
When forced to connect to Internet via modem, such utility let me know in the past the initial link speed (e.g. 50.000 bps) and, if poor (i.e. below 50K bps), I cancelled the connection, unplugged the external USB Apple modem (which does worse than my previous PowerBook G4 built-in modem!) and reconnected it all as the only means I found out to force the phone line to allocate me a faster initial link...
Can I get some device (not iPulse: too messy for me!) measuring the link speed when I connect via dial-up, with a reliable numerical reading beyond the just blinking squares Leopard offers exclusively under Network in System Preferences (the Leopard Network utility does not work/move at all)?
Thanks.

Thank you all for your sympathy and support, with my special thanks to A. Mitchel for his idea, which Apple Support in Spain, where I am located nowadays, was at a loss about, when I asked them, previous to my post!
This is the apparent solution. I proceeded this way:
1. I tried to install Internet Connect from my previous Tiger install disk into my computer now under Leopard. The Tiger install disk was rejected as impracticable (maybe an uninstall defense from Leopard as newer?).
2. I remembered I still had my PowerBook G3 (unfeasible for Leopard, they say) under Tiger and copied its Internet Connect application onto a memory stick.
3. I copied Internet Connect into the applications folder of my Macbook Pro under Leopard, and opened the application.
It has worked: I got connected to the Internet, with the typical display I missed so much under Leopard.
Now I must test if everything works fine through the Tiger Internet Connect application imported into Leopard.

This works brilliantly.
And so simple...if you happen to have a pre-Leopard iBook laying around, which, happily, I did.
I used the ap to dial up and get online and here I am, with it back in my dock and quite functional.
Thanks ever so much, Vic for thinking of it.
It hadn't occurred to me to pull the ap from my rather outdated G3 iBook.
Which only goes to show that old Macs are never absolutely and completely without purpose!
I am going to take your fix to a couple of the other threads that talk about this issue, help out some of the other Connecties on the forum.
Oh, yeah, and to Phillip- iStat doesn't get it, not helpful to us who are STUCK WITH dialing.
Nice you don't have to. Congrats.

OS X Leopard and internet connection via Airport

Help! I upgraded to OS X Leopard over the weekend and now I can't connect to the internet. I am using a cable model via Airport express. I'm picking up the airport connection & network but still can't get onto the internet (I get a "server unavailable" message). I upgraded both my desktop and laptop. The laptop is working intermittently, but the desktop only rarely. I have a PC laptop that is still able to connect without a problem. I've tried unplug/replugging the Airport; manually entering the ISP address; and installing the "login and keychain update" download but nothing is working. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Do you have Internet Sharing enabled (in the Sharing Preferences) on the Leopard Mac? These things have changed somewhat in Leopard from Tiger.

IMac & Snow Leopard - Airport internet sharing: WEP only?

Hello guys, happy owner of a 24 inche iMac.
Found out I can turn my iMac into a wireless access point by enabling airport internet sharing (system preferences > Sharing > Internet). That's nice because in my setup that would be better than paying for a wireless router and having even more cables and ac adapters cluttering up the place.
But, the airport settings for internet sharing only allows for WEP. No WPA??? That's a bit surprising, and a bit disappointing. I'd rather leave this sharing enabled all the time and I'm not thrilled about using WEP (everybody says it's pretty unsafe)like that.
Is there a way around that?

I a in a similar situation. I am sharing my cable/ethernet connection with a powerbook & an iphone quite happily. But my niece's pc will not connect. It insists on WPA, stating that the WEP is not secure enough, yet it quite happily connects if I remove the pass key altogether.
Can anyone help?
The pc does suggest performing a manual connection but I cannot find the details (ip address etc) in my iMac

Snow Leopard: can't connect to AFP server anymore

We are using the MacServerIP (9.0) AFP server on a windows 2003 server. After updating from 10.5 to 10.6 we can not connect to this server using AFP anymore (connection failed). Connecting via SMB works fine.
Thank you very much!!

I have the same problem logging in to an old Snap Server via AFP. "you entered an invalid username or password." is the error message. All was well in OS9 through 1.4 but this broke on 10.6 upgrade fro 10.4.
Apple support has not solved the problem. One thing I noticed is in the login dialog box there is no longer a list of options like there was in all versions up through 10.4, like sending password in clear text.
It is clear, that the two computers see each other given that the request for name and password come up for the target server.

MacMini 10.6.8 Snow Leopard can't connect to Windows 7 PC Printer over LAN?

I've searched for solutions and have found several (1) here gets me close, and similar (later too) (2) here.
When I add the new printer using the syntax in link 1 above, which looks like this:
smb://Jack:[email protected]/EpsonStylusPhotoR320,
them try a test print, the message I read in the printer queue is "authetication required".
When I try to resume the held print job, OSX pops up a dialouge box with my Windows 7 PC User ID of Jack listed. I enter the password Jds02524 (which of course is already in the printer syntax string), and click resume, but the job goes back on Hold again and I see another error message reading "NT_Status_Invalid_Parameter".
SO I'm really stumped here and hoping for some expert help.
Thanks!

It's "hard" because printer sharing in Windows is mostly broken for anything other than Windows...and even then it's often unreliable. Me personally, I've stopped sharing printers and started buying network capable printers. For my older printers, I've placed them on print-servers. (A D-Link standalone one for my Epson and the USB port on a Apple Airport for my Canon.) Tons more reliable printing to a network printer in a mixed OS environment.
I know that's wasn't really the answer you were looking for, but consider the lack of respones you got.
Well thanks for taking the time to at least answer! I really appreciate it.

Trouble with internet connection after update to Snow Leopard

Happily surfing the internet with the most recent update of Tiger until deciding to upgrade to Snow Leopard so that I could connect to a wireless printer. Noticed almost immediately that Safari was spotty, sometime normal, but often painfully slow. Have checked forums that suggest dumping caches, reseting Safari, repairing permissions, doing fresh install of SL. Nothing has worked. Can't even get internet with Firefox. Internet connection seems to work after I start up, but then fails after 5-10 minutes. Most of the time it doesn't work at all. Doesn't seem to be a problem limited to Safari since Firefox won't work either. Phone support tried saying that SL likes a WPA router connection and not WEP, which is the current setup.
Finally, I decided to boot to my clone of Tiger. After a little bit of fussing around setting up the internet connection over Airport everything works just fine! What's wrong with SL and how can I fix it. Really like the iLife11 upgrade and being able to print wirelessly, but if I can't get internet access that makes it rather pointless. Know this is a lot and rather hastily written, but please help!

Hello
Sorry, I have no answer to your problem. I just want to share that I amexeprience similar issues with my iMac since I upgraded to Snow leopard :
The LAN connection of the iMac slows down after accessing Internet, usually less that one hour. I can measure it through an Internet throughput utility on my provider's home page.
I have two Macs connected on the same DSL box, with the same OS version, Snow leopard, and nearly the same sofwtare configuration. Thus I can compare the Internet access speed :
After starting the computers, it is above 12 Mb/s.
On the iMac that I use most for Internet, it slow down to more or less 2 Mb/s after a few minutes, whereas it stays at 12 Mb/s on the MacMini.
Because of this, I believe it is LAN problem, not an Internet/DSL problem.
The same phenomenon happens if I connect to my DSL/Router with Ethernet or with Airport. The speed drops to similar values, below 3 Mb/s. Thus, the problem dose not seem to be related to LAN connection hardware.
Curiously, the speed is high again after shutting down and restaring the iMac. But it slows down again after a few minutes. Putting the computer to sleep does not help to restore maximal speed: it has to be shut down.
From all this, I draw the conclusion that the problem lies in a LAN software layer that is common to Ethernet and Airport and that is restarted only after shutdown.
I am using the MacMini as a reference for Internet access performance, in order to have a benchmark for iMac performance. I hav enot tried yet if the LAN performance of the MacMini collapses in a similar way if I use it to surf on the net.
I hope this will be helpfull do draw some attention from experts at Apple. It looks like a bug in a Snow Leopard LAN software layer.

Can't recall password when connecting 2 Macs via Firewire (Snow Leopard)

In Leopard I used to be able to connect my iMac and my Macbook to each other with a Firewire cable and share/move large files between them. Since the upgrade to Snow Leopard when I connect the two machines up I'm prompted to enter a password which I can't recall setting. I've tried all my usual password variants to no avail
Is there anyway I can find the password that I set or can I change one of them?
EDIT: If I connect as a Guest I can see the shared folder on my machines (I have Filesharing turned on). An easy workaround would probably be to add the folders I need to play with to the Filesharing list but I'm more concerned about the password issue

Essentially I am connecting the 2 Macs to each other with a Firewire cable. In Finder, under Shared, I can see my Macbook and I can connect as a guest but the password that should work simply doesn't

Mac-Windows-Connection failes after Snow Leopard Installation

I am dealing with 4 PCs at home – an IMac, a MacBookPro, a Dell Dimension and a Dell Precision Workstation. Before I installed Snow Leopard I could connect easily from my Macs to my PC via “Connect with Server” and the “sudo pico /etc/hosts” hint to rename my Windows-PC to real names (e.g. Dimension and Precision). After the installation I am prompted in OS X to give my account name and password again! And, of course, I don’t work anymore (wrong user name or password error). Because I put those information in long ago, I am not quite sure if I am putting the wrong Name/Password info in or if something happened during the Snow Leopard installation. I was never quite sure if “Name” meant the name of my Windows account I want to log into, or my Mac user name or a combination of both or the Server /Name thing, e.g. Dimension\Name. Just for info: My Windows-PCs can still connect without a problem to both Macs.
Any help is appreciated what information exactly to put in that **** Name/Password box that appears if I want to connect to a Windows-PC from my Mac. Or what else could have happened during the Snow Leopard installation that cut of the former available ability to connect to my Windows-PC from OS X.

I was able to see the other Windows XP computer and begin to connect. I was then presented with a login screen. I tried using the usual user name and password - no luck. I then formatted the user name as as follows:
user name: computer name\user name
password: as normal
And it worked. Specifically in my case:
user: cwy-pln2152\administrator
password: planning
This is what worked for me your mileage may vary.
