Tiger partly freezes while connect to internet by Wifi for extended time

Every once in a while when I am surfing the net using my Wifi connection the OS partly freezes. I am not sure if it is the OS or my Wifi connection? Safari suddenly does not load the page, I can still access menus but I cannot quit Safari. Tiger is also still partly working. I can still minimize windows, click on icons in the Dock, access the dock. But the Dock icons will only bounce when clicked, it will not open the program. Any program will can be forced quit, but icon will still have the arrow beneath the closed program, but the program seems to have quit. I can use the finder's menu bar too but once I click on the airport radar symbol I get the spinning beach ball and then I only have access to the apple menu. Force quit does nothing and choosing restart or shut down will only bring the system to the blue screen with the spinning pinwheel constantly turning.
The only way to get the system going again is to hold down the power button or a hard reset (ctrlapplepower button).

Hi Isaac,
I had the same problem for a couple of months and could not figure out what was happening. This would occur every couple of days and forced me to reboot via the power button. Initially I thought it was my router or network card in my mac, but I have a second machine in the house and its internet connection was not affected.
I then had a look in the console to see if any messages were written to the logs to give me a clue as to what was happening. The freezing on my Mac was quite severe when this was happening as I connect to a Network (NAS) drive and this would freeze the finder completely.
Anyhow, I lucked out one day and managed to pick up some data from the log file that read like this:
"Sep 11 16:05:10 configd[37]: DHCP en2: INIT transmit failed
Sep 11 16:05:18 configd[37]: bootpsessiontransmit: bpf_write(en2) failed: No buffer space available (55)"
I did a Google search on it and it turns out that this was related to the Bluetooth Network support (Bluetooth PAN) that was added in 10.4.9.
I went to my network port configurations, unchecked and removed Bluetooth PAN from the list of options. Since then the network freezes have stopped!
I hope this sorts your problem out.
Regards
Nic

TS1398 Cannot connect to internet by WIFI for first time (after active iphone by iTune, because cannot use WIFI to active)

I just bought a iphone 5 32GB White from Apple store. However, the first time i turn on my iphone, it cannot use WIFI to connect. Meanwhile, another device still can connect WIFI normally (example: computer, my another iphone 5 16GB)

Please help me
I tried many way to use WIFI on my iphone 5 with IOS 6.0.1. But cannot
_Turn off and on WIFI
_Reset Network Settings
_Update to IOS 6.0.2
Blah blah blah
P/s: because this is the first time my iphone turn on for active, so it has'nt connected with any Networks before.

Downloaded 8.0.2, able to continue to connect to internet via wifi for approx. 2 hours, then, wham, no wifi connection, and when I attempt to join my wifi network, and enter my code, i am told that the code is incorrect. I rebooted my IPad 3, nogo!

I uploaded 8.0.2, able to continue to use my IPad 3, use internet, WiFi connectivity OK. Then, about 1 1/2 hours later, I loose internet connection, and WiFi connectivity. I rebooted the IPad and attempted to rejoin my WiFi network...no go, message says my password is wrong!! I then, pursuant to a suggestion in the message boards, entered "Forget Network" and then attempted to again join my WiFi. Again, message says "password is wrong" Password is correct; I am on the internet on my desktop via my WiFi network!! Is the 8.0.2 "update" defective and/or compromised?? My partner, who has an IPad Air, also updated to 8.0.2 this afternoon and has had the same problem!!!

Actually, we up-loaded the new OS in the early evening! We now have WiFi connectivity, and this is how it was achieved: turned off the power to our WiFi modem, then turned it back on; wifi booted up; in IPad's Settings, WiFi: toggled the Wi-Fi button off, waited a short while and toggled it back on; choose our network and entered our passcode...IPad finally accepted the passcode. However, at the top left-hand portion of the screen, we now have a "No Service" statement, yet we are wifi connected and have internet service on our various apps!

I have a problem in connecting to internet via WiFi.

I have a problem in connecting to internet via WiFi. This week I received my new "iPhone 6 and 6 plus". Problem is the new phones doesn't connect to internet via my home WiFi while I don't have any problem on my other devices. The phones connect to WiFi but most of Apps can't connect to internet.

Hi vpouya,
If you are having an issue with connecting to the Internet from your iPhones via Wi-Fi, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

After updated OS X 10.9.5 this afternoon, I couldn't connect to Internet through wifi. Please help me!!!

After I updated osx 10.9.5 I can't connect to internet through wifi. So, what the problem please help me to solve this problem urgent!!!

I've been having horrible wifi connectivity problems with my mid-2012 MacBook Air for the last several weeks. I just realized today that the problems started around the time that I upgraded to 10.9.5 on September 17th.
It's reached the point where I keep Airport Utility up in a corner of my screen so I can see whether I have internet or not before hitting Send or Post.
After reading Linc Davis' post from September 27th, above, I ran the Wireless Diagnostics when I lost internet. Internet access came back while the diagnostics were running. I pressed Continue and lost connection while the second was running. Based on Airport Utility, I do not have connectivity more than I do.
Note that Airport Utility usually shows that it can see the router, but there is no Internet access. Other times it shows that it can not see the router.
Wireless Diagnostics suggested that I restart the router (a new Airport Extreme that I installed in August.) Restarted the router did not solve anything.
All other devices, wired and wireless, are working fine. The affected device is the only one running 10.9.5 wirelessly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My macbook pro cannot connect to internet via wifi

I have a Macbook Pro 2010 OS X 10.8.3. I cannot connect to internet via wifi (Air por). My Macbook Pro does not recognize my network and when I select it from the list of network it asks for my network password. when I type in my password a dialog box gives me timeout error. Please could anyone help me. I am using ethernet for my connection at the moment. Do I need to reset my macbookpro? if yes, what will happen to my applications and operating system (mountain lion)?

When you use the Airport utility what happens?
What is in the System Preferences control panel for Network settings?

Wi-Fi Setup Considerations
Things to consider before you begin
Start with a plan for the physical layout. Depending on whether you have an existing Wi-Fi network, or if you are using your AirPort Express as a standalone Wi-Fi device, there are several options available for you to choose from.
When using Ethernet, Cat6 cable is recommended.
The layout you choose should take into account environmental factors such as physical access, location, range, radio frequency interference, etc.
You will need to consider what AirPort Utility settings to adopt.
You will need to know whether you are using an AirPort Express (802.11b/g) or an AirPort Express (802.11a/b/g/n).
If you will be using more than one Wi-Fi base station, it may be helpful to read the article Extending the range of your wireless network by adding additional Wi-Fi base stations.

Connect to internet to check for language packs??

Hey guys,
I am trying to change the language of my surface to chinese, but it keeps saying "connect to internet to check for language packs". Any body knows what's going on??

Follow procedures described here
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/add-language-keyboard
If you are not connected to Internet, connect to Internet and follow procedures. Chances are that the target language should be downloaded to complete required task.

My MACBook Pro has been stolen. Is there any possibility to know the MAC Address from serail number? If I well understood the MAC address can not be changed and therefore the MACBook could be found if connected to Internet. Thanks for any support. Cri

My MAC Book Pro has been stolen one month ago. I would like to know if the MAC address (that should be an unique identifier of the MAC) can be found in order to trace where the computer is should it be connected to Internet. Thanks for any support on this matter! Cristina

Help! Safari / Firefox won't connect to internet on WiFi?!

I can't connect to internet using WiFi from Safari OR Firefox from my home WiFi (Apple WiFi router.)
Here are weird facts:
- They both work from this laptop at home using Ethernet
- They both worked at AppleStore WiFI today
- Internet at home is fine from other MacBook, iPad and 2 iPhones
AppleStore guy reset a lot of Safari and network settings, suggesting that would fix anything, but it still does not work from this laptop at home over WiFi?!
Any ideas?!
Thanks!
Mark

Thanks, Linc. FYI, I don't believe I've installed any new 3rd pary items for some time (although some of them may have updated to newer versions more recently?)
I've posted output from Terminal commands below. Let me know what you see in it!
FYI, I've been considering updating to Lion OS. Would that a) help me with this situation, and/or b) cause me other new problems?!
Thanks,
Mark

I cannot access the internet via wifi on my time capsule.

I cannot access the internet via wifi on my time capsule even thought it was shown that I am connected to the time capsule with full wifi on my iMac. I use to be able access the internet via wifi on the TC. However, after playing around with the airport utility on my iPad I was no longer able to access the internet via the wifi on myTC. How can I fix this problem?

Did your TC recently upgrade firmware to 7.6.3?
I recommend you do a full factory reset.. and redo the setup.
Use different names.. SMB type.. ie short, no spaces. pure alphanumeric for everything.
Use only WPA2 Personal security.
If that doesn't work, give more info.
Age of the TC.. model number.. A1xxx from the base.
Firmware revision.
In the computer are you getting the correct IP and router and dns values? Please post a screen shot.

Iphoto freezes when connected to Internet or Places turned on

Hi all,
I've seen a couple of threads around this but no real solution.
If I open iphoto while connected to the internet it will load and then shorty after display the beach ball loading symbol and then become unresponsive causing me to force quit. If I open iphoto while not connected to the internet everything works fine (until I connect and then straight away I get the beach ball again). Additionally, if I go to iphoto preferences and turn 'Look up places' to 'Never' I can use iphoto while connected to the internet fine.
Therefore I think the problem revolves around Places. I have my photos tagged with geolocation in the meta data and when I connect to the Internet with Places turned on (just before it freezes) I get a loading symbol appear next to places. Maybe it is having trouble fetching the location from the apple servers based on the geolocation coordinates??
The problem started a couple of days ago. I am using OSX 10.9.4 and iphoto 09 8.1.2. Late 2008 Aluminium Macbook, 2.4GHz, 8GB RAM, 50GB free HDD space.
I've tried the Command+Option Launch Iphoto and gone through all the steps and also deleting the iphoto .plist file.
The simple solution is to leave 'Look up places' to 'Never', however, it would be really nice to be able to use the Places functionality.
Any insight would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Matt

I use iPhoto 8.1.2 with Mavericks and the only way to get around the slow launch and freezes is to turn off all sharing and lookup places, etc. in it's preferences.
Did you install any Mavericks updates recently? Event though V8 worked for a file it is so precarious in it's compatibility with Mavericks I rate it not compatible. One might say it's too "old school".

Why does my macbook pro 13'' mid 2010 screen turns gray and freezes while connected to external monitor?

Every once in a while my macbook pro just randomly instantaneously freezes and the screen turns gray and it has only done it while connected to a high res 22'' Dell external monitor (so far). Usually when this happens I'm listening to music and I noticed my music continues to play but the keyboard is totally unresponsive forcing me to manually press the start button until the computer force shut's down. Luckily I havnt lost anything yet but I hate having to restart my macbook pro that way...just want to know if its a glitch in the software or if I have a more serious hardware problem. This problem has occured maybe 4 times since I got my macbook last summer 2010 so its not too bad, im just worried cause these computers aint cheap.

Duquan,
Macs can be picky about the RAM which they use; the “Your computer restarted because of a problem” message typically indicates a RAM problem. Since you have a Mid 2009 model, it should have 1066 MHz RAM installed rather than 1333 MHz RAM. If your RAM was mislabeled, then that might cast some doubt upon the quality control which that RAM manufacturer uses. My suggestion would be to purchase 1066 MHz RAM from a reputable manufacturer.
