Tiger's Internet Connect App in Leopard and 802.1X

Hi!
I discovered when I bought my MacBook Pro (in fact it was when I installed Leopard in my iBook) that Leopard doesn't support WPA Enterprise networks using 802.1X. The most common solution for this problem (since Apple decided not to care about "eduroam" users (let's say it's the most used wireless network system in european and australian colleges, included mine) that can't use their college's network under Leopard) is to install Tiger's Internet Connect App. Well, that's what I did. To discover that it can't find any network, and that I can't configure 802.1X, because the icon doesn't appear in the app. Someone can help?

The Internet Connect App from Tiger is no longer used under Leopard. I know it seems odd at first, but it's actually much more intuitive now (perhaps a little too intuitive for those that used prior systems, it took me quite a bit of searching to find the settings). Go into Network Preferences and click on Advanced under Airport. Then click on 802.1X in the top and then in the bottom left click on the plus sign which brings up three options: User Profile, Login Profile, or System Profile. The User Profile is as it says just for that user. The Login Profile goes to the login page so a network user can be verified through RADIUS. The System Profile allows the profile to run throughout the system including at login (so the username and password for the login window doesn't authenticate, it's already built-in and running). I hope this helps.

How to reinstall Internet Connect app?

I have MacBook Pro, 2 gig, 15" running OS 10.4.8. I have a weird problem- at some point, my "internet connect" app disappeared, which I first noticed when I tried to open it through the Airport icon on the top of my window. I double-checked that it was indeed gone by searching for it (nope) and then trying to force it to open in Terminal, but got the message that no such file or directory exists.
Is there any way I can selectively reinstall "internet connect" using my original install disks, or is the app available to download somehow? Or (my least favorite option) will I have to reinstall the original OS and then go through the hassle of upgrading and then sorting everything back to how it is now?
Thanks for any help!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Backup your data first, as my FAQ* explains:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
Find your original software installation disks which came with the computer, and extract the Internet Connect application with http://www.charlessoft.com/ 's Pacifist. After doing that, run the 10.4.8 combo intel update from:

Hi
I am experiencing wireless connection problem on 4s after ios 8.1 upgrade. The wireless icon appears showing that it's connected but webpages do not load. I have checked my internet connection with other devices and seems to be alright. what to do?
I have tried reseting the network settings and forgetting my wireless connection and re-connecting to it. I even backed up my phone on itunes and restored it, factory reseted it. Nothing seems to work.
Also after my upgrade to ios 8.1 my personal hotspot option under cellular data has disappeared.
Would you please help me out? I would really appreciate it.

Restart your router then restart the iPhone to test.

Well, did you activate this new phone?

How to disconnect internet connection in Time Capsule and reconnect without restarting the whole device?

Hi, I would be very grateful if someone could tell me how to disconnect internet connection in Time Capsule and reconnect without restarting the whole device?
The thing is that as I have a dynamic IP address, everytime I restart the internet connection my IP address changes. I sometimes need it to change, so I need to restart the connection. I don't know another way to restart the connection than restarting the whole Time Capsule.
Thanks!!
PD: the computer I use is Windows based, using the Airport Utility for Windows, but I also have a MacBook Pro I could use and an iPhone too.

The utility in windows is very like Mac so the screenshots are from Mac as I don't have windows available now.
How this works depends on the setup of the TC.. which you did not tell us.. you cannot change anything if you do not have the TC as the main router in the network.
So on the internet tab you need to share a public IP address.
On the next tab where you set IP address.
Click the renew IP address.
It might work.. and it might not.. the problem is you are not disconnecting the network.. sometimes the hard disconnection is required before the address will renew..
What about unplugging the WAN port.. then click renew the IP which will fail.. then plug the wan back in again.
In the end it is easier and faster to power cycle the TC.

I just got a Mac and I use the same internet connection as my mom and my brother, who has an iPad. He can click on something that has my name and then Macbook Air, and is able to see everything on my computer screen. How do I fix this?

No, I made sure nothing was checked for that section when i found out he could see my screen. At the top it says "computers on your local network can access your computer at: blah blah". I think thats how hes doing it but i dont know how to fix it.

This almost always indicates your firewall or anti-virus utilities are preventing iTunes from contacting the iTunes Store. Here is an exerpt from "Can't connect to the iTunes Store": http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
Troubleshooting on Windows
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store for more than a day —and other customers on our discussion boards aren't experiencing similar issues— a software or internet service provider (ISP) configuration issue may be blocking your access to the iTunes Store. Click here to find out which ports and servers need to be allowed for iTunes Store access.
Update iTunes to the latest version.
If you have not done so already, try the steps in iTunes for Windows: iTunes Store connection troubleshootingto troubleshoot iTunes Store connectivity in Windows.
Firewall issues:
Windows XP: If you've upgraded to Windows XP Service Pack 2: By default, Windows Firewall is enabled. As with all firewalls not manufactured by Apple, you will need to configure Windows Firewall to allow iTunes to access the iTunes Store. To do so, see How to enable iTunes in the Windows XP Firewall.
Windows Vista and 7: As with all firewalls not manufactured by Apple, you will need to configure Windows Firewall to allow iTunes to access the iTunes Store. To do so see, the "Blocked by software firewall" section in this article.
Proxies can cause issues and should be avoided whenever possible. To disable the proxy built-in to Windows see, iTunes for Windows Can't access the Internet if proxy settings are incorrect.
If you are receiving a specific error message you may want to see, the "Specific Conditions and Alert Messages" section in this article as needed.
If the issue still persists, contact your internet service provider and confirm that the ports and servers in this article are enabled over your network.
The "hosts" file may be blocking the iTunes Store
Microsoft's article How do I reset the hosts file back to the default? has instructions and a "FixIt" to have Windows try to reset the hosts defaults for you.
Note: Some workplaces may put internal resources in the hosts file but may also use it to block iTunes Store.
To create a copy of your hosts file and replace it with an empty hosts file, follow the instructions for your operating system below.

I have just returned from a business trip to China and my Macbook is not well. My internet connection is very slow and drops out intermittently. Is there a utility I can run which might clean it up.

Hello,
I have very similar problem. Suddenly Firefox stopped work - It was working few days after ver. 4 update. I was looking everywhere for some solution but nothing worked.
- uninstalled firewall - did not worked
- added full exception for Firefox into the firewall - did not worked
- Firefox reinstall - did not worked
- Firefox complete reinstall (registry included) - did not worked
- IPv6 diseabling - did not worked
- diferent proxy options (no proxy, system proxy, autodetect proxy) - did not worked
- new firefox profile - did not worked
- complete coockies, history... deleted - did not worked
- there is only one solution which partly works - I have used public proxy addresses for Firefox but the ping is (750ms), down/up (0.8MB/0.2MB originaly (10MB/2MB) and yes I have tried different proxy server from different countries from my included.
- IE is working perfectly and without proxy
- other companies browser - did not worked too
- only IE is working
- I have used three different malware, trojans, spyware, anti-virus programs and nothing
It seems to me as hopeless situation or very clever move from Microsoft, I am forced to use IE - at least this works
Any ideas, solutions?
System Windows 7, firewall Comodo Internet security
Thanks everyone for the help

Internet Connect App

Can someone tell me how to get the Internet Connect App to stop asking me if I want to stay online? Usually there's an option you can check, such as "don't ask again", but I can't see it.
Thanks!

Can't log into iMessages and it tells me to go and check my internet connection after checking it and turning it on and off it still doesn't work for iMessage but when I go into safari and other apps it works please help!

Cant log into iMessage on myI ipad air and get the message " please check your internet connection and try again" and my internet is on and I can connect to it in other applications.

1. Make sure Date and Time is correctly set; Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On
2. Make sure phone number or email address is correct
3. Restart iPad
4. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) until you see the Apple Logo

HT5622 Since updating to IOS7.0 my imessages and Facetime keep telling me to check my internet connection? My IPad and husbands IPhone work just fine. Is anyone else having this problem??

Since updating to IOS 7.0 i cannot sign into Facetime or Imessages - My IPad and Husbands IPhone are fine but when I try to sign in I get: check internet connection and try again...Does anyone have a clue what I am doing wrong?? I have the correct password.

I finally called Apple and they had me do a complete restore which of course took hours because I have so many apps and photographs on my iPad. This is the only way to get the keyboard lag to stop. The best way was to connect to iTunes store and backup your data there. You must do a complete restore in order to get a clean version of the hardware. It worked on both my iPhone 6 and my iPad Air 2. If you can't get it to work, call Apple. Trust me...it does work.
Here is the link.
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
It takes time but it did fix it as it reinstalls the hardware from scratch so no bugs are left.

Internet Connections after Snow Leopard Installation

Hi
I'm having problems with my internet connection since I installed snow. Some times it catches my router signal and some others don't. And when it gets it, then it says is connected but there's no internet signal. I'm sending this message from my work computer using the same internet connection.
Can you help?
Thanks!

Try going directly to the internet when wired to your modem. I assume your router worked OK on Leopard. I doubt it would work any differently on SL, but, yes, updating its firmware might be your answer. What kind of router do you have? Many non-Apple routers will work just fine. I have always used Linksys (i.e., Cisco--which makes outstanding routers). Also, have you tried your machine on another network--one in the neighborhood you might "borrow" for test purposes or one at a Starbucks.

SLOW Internet Connection on Snow Leopard

Hi all,
I got a new iMac with Snow Leopard yesterday. All of a sudden, my internet connection speed is extremely low. I just checked the speed on my old MacBook, which still runs on Leopard, and using the same cable and connection point, it is about 1.4 mb/s. On the iMac, the connection speed is only 0.14 mb/s!
Do you have any idea how I can fix this problem? Is it something to do with my internet provider or Snow Leopard?
Thanks very much.
Jana

Here is a solution to having a sluggish internet experience that has worked for some.
1. Go Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ and move the folder to your desktop.
2. Reboot
The folder moved should be recreated upon reboot. You may have to reconnect to your wireless network if applicable. And, you may need to go System Preferences > Sharing and re-enter your computer's name. Check what name is given in sharing before following my instructions. If problems develop, then your can move the original folder back, thus, overwriting anything recreated.

How to set up internet connection between MacBook Pro and an old eMac?

I got an old eMac without wifi and a MacBook Pro. I'd like to share the network connection via ethernet cable to my eMac, but I can't get it work.
I'd like to use it with screenrecycler and it needs a network connection.
How to do it? How to set up the connection between the client and the host? Could somebedy give me a step by step guide?
Thank you very much

Hello,
First, are you using Wifi for Internet on the MBP?
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list, Wifi on the MBP.
In Shating on both, enable File Sharing, Screen Sharing, & Web Sharing on both.
Then with the Ethernet cable between the two, find the IPs of both, or use Finder>Go>Connect to Server>Browse... see what shows up.
