Some Apple Programs can't access Internet

Hi,
I am experiencing a very strange problem.
My Internet works fine, except for in 3 applications. Mail, iTunes, and System Crash Reporter.
I can browse the Internet, chat, and do whatever fine. But Mail refuses to send mail. iTunes cannot connect to the Store and cannot connect to radio stations. And whenever any program crashes and I tell Crash Reporter to send the report to Apple, it always fails to send the report.
This is very frustrating and annoying, and it started happening about a week ago.
I would be so appreciative of any help. Thank you!

Hi IntrepidDisaster-
Greetings and welcome to the Apple Discussion boards
Any chance the firewall is on in your router or on your Mac?
Luck-

  • Apple programs will not recognize Internet connection after Tiger upgrade

    In January, I posted the question below. I wanted to update it, but this site has archived it and will not allow responses. In the hope that I may help someone else, I am repeating my question, now that I have the answer.
    ===============================================
    ORIGINAL PROBLEM
    Last week, I upgraded from 10.3.9 to Tiger. Ever since then, I have had trouble using Apple's programs that require internet usage: Safari, iTunes, Software Update, etc. All of these programs think I am not connected to the Internet. But I am; I can use Netscape, Internet Explorer, and other non-Apple programs on the web.
    Furthermore, it's not consistent. Sometimes Safari will recognize the connection. I'll be using Safari, looking up websites, when suddenly it will quit connecting, giving me the message, "Cannot connect to the server," no matter what server it is, even apple.com (so I have to use Netscape to access my .Mac and this Support screen).
    How can I resolve this?
    ==============================================
    The problem was that my Earthlink Access software was setting a proxy on my connection. Netscape & Firefox worked because they ignore any proxies; the Apple programs (plus Shiira and Internet Explorer) didn't connect because they use the proxies.
    Why did it sometimes work? Well, if I first used Safari to go to a secure website of my bank, somehow that opened up the connection and then I could continue to use the Internet and Internet based programs like iTunes and widgets. However, if I tried to use an Internet-based program before going to the secure site, then it wouldn't work.
    After months of phone calls and e-mails and sending data packets and all such stuff with Apple Care, they finally stumbled upon this answer: Uncheck the proxy box. And that did it. At first I had to uncheck it every time I started up the computer, but now it stays unchecked and I can use my Apple programs with no trouble.
    I just wanted to share this with you in case you also had trouble with Internet connections after upgrading to Tiger, because I did see several other people had this same trouble.
    Movable flat-screen iMac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   1.25Ghz processor, 256 MB memory (DDR SDRAM)

    For the record, could you state each Proxy box you ended up unchecking please? I'll attempt to submit a user tip with credit to you for finding this solution.

  • New Ipod Touch 5g can't access Internet in home network (using Linksys E4200 router). But, OK with other Wifi.

    Just bought new Ipod Touch 5g. I found out it can't access Internet in home network. not really cannot access, but very slow to open any web page, App Store failed to access, etc. But, OK with other Wifi (office & starbucks). Others existing iOS devices (Iphone4 & Ipad2) have no problem like this. I'm using Linksys E4200 router at home. anyone has any idea why?

    Try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>GeneralReset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • IPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet.

    iPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet at work. The admin says the router lets my iPhone connect to LAN, but the iPhone does not have server IP to access the internet. I entered the server IP and port number in the HTTP PROXY fields but I still can not access the web. Any ideas?
    TIA
    Rich

    You IT person should be able to sort this out.  But, they seems to be too busy or disinterested to do this.  Suggest you provide the it person with an iPhone to get interested.
    Any could be lots of things.
    The best you can do is to get access to the admin setup for networking on a pc?  The internet settings are all the same.  Only what names the manufactures change from OS to OS. Check and compare parameters.
    Phone works to internet at home, I assume?

  • Why the apple store is so expensive and why the apple users can't access for free after spending huge amount in apple phone ?

    Why the apple store is so expensive and why the apple users can't access for free after spending huge amount in apple phone ?

    The Apple store is correct. The warranty is not international, and Apple will not accept or return iPhones shipped from a different country.  You need to ship the phone to somebody in Hong Kong who can take it in to Apple for repair, or pay a third party repair shop in the Philippines to fix it.

  • I installed a new airport express and made it part of my existing home network...  now the PCs can't access internet through the airport extreme or the cisco access points

    Everything works perfect with Macs, iPhone, iPads but I have 2 pcs that now can't access internet. The PCs connect to the airport and my other access points but no internet- The PCs sent an error of DNS

    Yes, as we already said, it will do all of this if you have a good wireless signal reaching the bedroom.
    Remember that an extender or repeater or whatever you want to call it can only extend the quality of signal that it receives.
    The Ethernet signal that the Express delivers will only be as good as the quality of the wireless connection between the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express.
    If you have doubts, make sure that you understand the store's return policy before you buy.

  • Can connect to router but can't access internet on some devices

    Hello everyone,
    I'm fairly good with comptuers / networking but this issue has me baffled. Help would be greatly appreciated.
    I have a linksys router (WRK54G) and have 2 desktops and 2 laptops connected to it wirelessly at the moment. I bought 3 smart phones (AT&T Tilts) and a new laptop recently. I don't use encryption but I do have MAC address filtering enabled.
    The issue is that 1 of the smart phones can connect to the network and the internet, but the other 2 phones and the laptop can connect to the network but not the internet.
    I did add their MAC addresses to the "allow" list ofcourse, which is why they're able to connect to the internet. DHCP is enabled, and these devices get an IP address. I can see them as connected when i log in to my router as well through one of my other computers (I see the MAC address and the IP assigned to those devices) so I know they're properly connected to the network. However, when i try to pull up a website (using either its ip or its domain name), the devices try to open up the page but eventually give me a "The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost" on the pocket PCs, and a generic "page cannot be found" on the laptop. I don't see these requests in the outgoing log table of the router either... I'm supposed to see them as when i use one of my desktops, I can see which site was accessed by which IP.
    So basically, the requests from 2 smart phones and 1 laptop aren't even getting to the router apparently. What could be wrong? These devices can access the internet on other routers elsewhere at my workplace or at wi-fi spots.. just not at home, which is a major inconvenience. Why would the router be stopping some devices from connecting to the internet and allowing others? I know it's not a setting in the devices as it can access the internet through other wi-fi spots elsewhere..
    Help will be truly appreciated.

    Hi, I'm just getting up to speed on wireless but here's some info. Don't have a clue for your phones tho.
    If you can connect to your network and talk to each other but can't connect to the internet, then it's an "Authorization" problem. I'ts not a Router "hardware" problem because your other equipment can connect to the internet (modem). It's not a Wireless card "hardware" problem on your laptop because you can connect to your network (router).
    You say the Router sees the laptop/phones IP#'s but, do you see the IP#'s ON the computer/phones that can't get online? The Router sees them but do they see the Router?
    The computers can talk to each other because your using the "Switched hub"(and wireless) part of the Router. I't doesnt do any translating, it just tells computer 1 that computer 2 want's to talk to it.
    Is the Shared Key enabled on one and not the others?(Router menu)
    If you can connect at work but not at home then again it's an Authorization problem. You have the right password, setup, etc, for work but not at home. "Hotspots" have no encryption so any one can connect. Do you have the home Router set up as WEP and and Work as WPA? Does your other laptop connect at work also? Do you have a mixed B,G,N band system at home. The Router has to be set at the band your using or have it set for mixed. If it's set for "G" only then any items that have B"or"N" won't be able to talk to it. If i go to a wireless motel thats next to a truck stop and a wireless Cafe, i can "SEE" a good half dozen "networks". I can even connect to a few of them, but, i can't get online because i don't have the password, etc..
    Well one more kinda, sorta, possibility, did you lower the "Maximum number of DHCP Users" count to 4 (Router menu) and forget to raise it to 8 or what ever you have now? If you only had 3 computers on, then the Router would only hand out one more IP# so the other phones and laptop wouldn't get any more. It's defaulted to like, 20+ or so, so probably unlikely.
    The First phone seems to be the magic bullet. My only suggestion would be to double check the settings and compare everything. You have got to be close.
    I hope this get's you nearer,,

  • Mac mini server - Can't access Internet

    Hello. Using a Mac mini server as the media server for my house. Not really using any of the Snow Leopard Server services though. Wanted the larger hard drive and didn't need an optical drive so this was perfect for me. At any rate, recently noticed that the Mac mini can't access the Internet. It talks to the other Macs and Apple TVs in the house fine but it can't load a web page. I looked at the preferences and everything and can't see anything wrong. Plus, all my other computers get on the web fine. Any ideas? Is there a specific setting I should check? Thanks in advance.

    Can you describe your LAN and how it connects to the internet, as well as how the device that acts as your router is configured to interact with the computers on your LAN and how the individual computers are configured to connect to the routing device?

  • Can't access personal email and therefore can't access internet on 8703e

    Hi there, I am having a very large problem, and it will take a while to explain. I spent most of yesterday trying to fix it, but all to no avail. Ok, so I bought a used 8703e BlackBerry on eBay, simply because Verizon is getting rid of their unlimited data plan on July 7 but will grandfather in those who have the plan before that date. Since I only had a regular phone, I needed a smartphone that was capable of having the plan so I could lock in. Unfortunately, I don't upgrade until August, and it would be stupid to buy a real phone before then. Hence, the BlackBerry. Now I activated it ok, and the calls and text messaging work. However, I only have the option to add an Enterprise email account under the setup wizard. I do not have an email setup or email settings icon like everyone says I should. Therefore, I cannot access my service books, and cannot sign the user agreement, and cannot get online. I saw online that this problem might be because it had an IT policy on it. Also, when I called Verizon, they said this was probably the problem. So I went through the steps listed - I upgraded my OS to the beta 4.5, I used the jl_Cmnder, I tried the policy.bin thing. In a way, these actions were successful - they eliminated the firewall that had previously been enabled. But it hasn't changed anything else. I saw that there was an option to create a Blackberry account online so that I could send myself the service books, and I thought that might work now that I disabled the firewall. However, for some stupid reason Verizon won't let you create an account online; it has to be done through the wireless device, which I can't do because I can't access the internet because I can't set up email and agree to the user terms. Ahh! In addition, I have done the Advanced Options - RHT - Register Now thing many times, and it doesn't seem to do anything. I just really need help. Is there a way to manually load the option for personal email on to the device? I think that if I could do that, then I could receive the service books, and all would be well. Thank you for taking the time to read this word vomit, and I anxiously look forward to your response!

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    There is no manual way to add the Personal email configuration to a BB. That is 100% pushed by the carrier, when the proper data plan is enabled. But, if the carrier does not natively support that model BB, they most often will not push the SBs. You would have to do some very tedious things to acquire and install the SBs. Using a non-native BB on a carrier network that does not support it natively is very tricky indeed. I suggest you first obtain a commitment from VZW that they will allow your specific device on their network. Next, see if they support it natively; if they do, then go back to them for formal support...you are paying them for this service and they are not delivering it. If they don't natively support your model, then you will have a lot of tedious work to do in order to get it all working.
    Good luck!

    Try this first - 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Can't access Internet despite 'you already have data'

    So I can't access the Internet, my browser automatically redirects to a page that tells me that I already have data and that I still have some left but yet won't let me do anything on regular internet.
    We ran out of data last week and bought a 10GB add on, but our usual allowance was reset on the 20th (We bought the add on on the 18th) so we definitely should have Data left, as we pay for 50GB a month.
    We're on a 4GEE WiFi Plan.
    anyone that can help swiftly with this would be appreciated!

    Your initial assessment sounds accurate; you've got a good signal from the router, but something else is preventing access to the Internet.
    Most Linksys routers provide web-based management. With the default configuration, you should be able to enter the URL http://192.168.0.1/ and see a password request. If you don't see this, you still have problems between your computer and the router.
    With the default Linksys configuration, leave the User Name blank and enter 'admin' in the password field. If this is the first time you've set up the network, you might want to visit LinkSys and find the User's Manual for your model router, and follow its advice about setting up the router. If you've already done this, the router's Status page should tell you whether it has a WAN IP-address and is connected to the Internet.
    If your router is set up and on-line, and you're still having the same problems, it's possible that your Mac's TCP/IP configuration isn't quite right. Open System Preferences > Network > TCP/IP and set it to obtain its IP-address automatically; and you might try entering the router's LAN IP-address (198.168.0.1 by default) as a DNS server.
    Let us know how it goes!
