Time reset and lost internet connection

Booted up this morning and got a message that the clock had reset to a date sometime prior to 2008 and had requests for access from xgridcontrollered, DNSResponder and 2 other things. Not having seen those items before, I denied access. After restarting modem, resetting the clock/time (manually) and restarting everything again, everything came back and I got connected to Internet. A Google of xgrid, et al, revealed that they are part of my OS, so I understand that. I'm just not sure how the clock got reset and created the issue in the first place.
Any thoughts? My suspicion is that something happened to the modem connection overnight and it needed to be restarted. Computer came up and couldn't access Web to sync date and time and freaked out.

The same thing happened to me after restart from the last Safari update. Mac restarted fine initially but then suddenly shut down with no warning and when it finally restarted again after a few attempts was set to Dec. 1969 which caused internet connection issues. Reset the date, reset the modem, soft reset the airport, and restarted. It then became apparent it was definitely the automatic time configuration in talking with apple that was causing the crash so I've also turned that off for the time being to avoid subsequent hangs and crashes. Not sure myself how it got reset, but stability is variable at this point.
Processes hang unexpectedly and now the battery has gone from 95-100% charge to an 'X' in the toolbar. When I clicked on the X'd battery, it said the battery was not charging and then set to 0%. Now when I check on the battery charge information, however, it says the cycle is one. So now my question is, did this battery just coincidentally die at the exact same time as this other issue arose or is this somehow related? (The battery IS very old, but was generally between 96-100% when fully charged, as it was when this occurred. Also, other issues are present. Some may be related and some are likely not which adds to the confusion. The forum I originally visited to troubleshoot this was 72 pages long... modem/airport reset stopped erratic shut downs until the battery drained.)
Both Safari and Firefox run now, but become increasingly slow with continued use.

Just purchased Airport Extreme ac and lost internet connection 3X. Reset to factory settings and worked for 2 days then lost connection and remedied by unplugging power supply. Anyone else having problems?

Just purchased Airport Extreme ac and lost internet connection 3X in less than one week. Fisrt time, reset to factory settings and fixed problem. Has occurred 2 additional times and connection re-established by unplugging AP extreme. Anyone else having these problems? Do I have a bad router? Thanks.

I definitely think this is a Mavericks issue. My iMac running Mavericks is the ONLY system in the house that drops the network randomly while all other systems never lose the network. No idea how to resolve this, but here is the workaround I'm posting:
I've had the 'network drop' issue with my Airport Extreme for the last 2 months. It reconnects when I pull the ethernet cable and plug it back in. I've tried downgrading the AE firmware, resetting to factory, etc. Nothing worked. I finally threw in the towel and created a script that monitors my network connectivity and restarts my interface if it senses it has dropped:
#!/bin/ksh
while true
do
yup=`ping -c1 -t2 www.google.com|grep from`
if [[ -n $yup ]]
     then echo "Internet is connected!"
else
        ifconfig en0 down; ifconfig en0 up
        echo "Down at `date +%m%d%Y%H%M%S`">>./dropped.out
fi
sleep 5
clear
done
I know its a workaround, but its saving me the headache of constantly pulling my cable and putting it back in!
Good luck!

Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors - Support - Apple
Configure your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.

HT5569 Updated my iPad to iOS 7.0.6 and lost internet connectivity.

The iPad connects to the router. The router sees the iPad, the iPad sees the router. All other devices on router work and have internet. iPad has no internet activity. Completed restart, reset and not sure what else to do. Issue started immediately after upgrade to IOS 7.0.6.
Any ideas would be helpful..

Uploaded Iphone 3GS to iOS 5 and lost internet connection (WiFi works)

I uploaded my Iphone 3GS to iOS 5 and lost 3G internet connection (WiFi works). Anybody has that same problem??
I lost all my music too. What I don't get is that when my iphone is connected to Itunes, the music appears there (i even can play it), but the device doesn´t have it. I try to sync it but it doesn't work. What can I do?
Help please!!!

I went into Settings>General>Network>Cellular Data Network.and changed my APN in the 'Cellular Data' section from idata.o2.co.uk to wap.o2.co.uk.
wap.02.co.uk will not work for you, that is my provider's setting. I would contact Telcel and see what your APN settings should be, but I get the impression having read through many conversations now that the upgrade to iOS5 sometimes changes these settings.
I left the 'Visual Voicemail' and the 'MMS' settings the same and everything seems to be working ok...
Oh - and I did lose my music after. I've managed to restore my purchased by going to the iTunes store on my phone and dowloading them all again.
Good luck, hope that sorts it.

Installed OSX 10.4.3 And Lost Internet Connection ! Help Please.

I have posted this in the Tiger forum but know there is a lot of general expertise amongst FCE users (grovel, grovel!) and I only upgraded to Tiger so that I can get FCE 3.5 for this computer!
I have updated from 10.3.9 (Panther) to 10.4.3 (Tiger) on my eMac.
Everything appears OK except I cannot connect to the internet.
On finishing the installation I got an error message saying "Could not load login file".
Incidentally, during the installation I disconnected all peripherals including my USB Broadband "modem" (I can't remember the correct terminology).
My "modem" is a "Speedtouch" and in the dock I have an application named "Diagnostics" which has to open to allow the Speedtouch to connect to the internet.
"Diagnostics" will not open.
When I look in my Network configurations the Speedtouch name has a red dot alongside and it is not connected.
If I open Network Port Configurations the Speedtouch name is greyed out and cannot be selected.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ian.
PS. Luckily my iMac internet connection is OK !

Nope! I have nothing resembling a stingray or any other aquatic creature!
OSX 10.4.3 was successfully installed thanks to the resolution of the above hiccup and I have now downloaded and installed the OSX 10.4.7 Combo update which brings my OS to "state of the art" status.
I will now be able to install FCE 3.5 - if I can get round to parting with the cash!
Then we'll see what everyone's talking about.

Time Capsule and an Internet connection

I was getting an error with TC with regards to backing it up. I tried to reset the TC back to factory settings I bought this TC from Apple in 2009, Once I did that, I now no-longer have access to the Internet with the TC. It has a sold yellow light and my computer dosn't recognize it. can someone please help????? I was able to hook up a non TC router and it worked fine with no trouble. I am not sure if loading Maverick had any issues with this?

Hi, Under Water.
You should configure the Express to "Join a wireless network" or to "Extend a wireless network". (Either one will work.)
Connect your computer to your Express via Ethernet and open AirPort Utility. Press "Manual Setup" and authenticate if necessary.
Go to the "Base Station" tab. Give the Express a name and password.
Go to the "Wireless" tab. Set the Wireless mode to "Join a wireless network" or "Extend a wireless network." Enter the name of the wireless network created by your Time Capsule (or select it from the list). Check the box that says "Allow Ethernet clients" (if you're joining) or "Allow Wireless Clients" (if you're extending).
Provide the appropriate security mode and password for the Time Capsule's network.
Press "Update" and allow your Express to restart.
Then you can plug the solar system into the Express's Ethernet port.

Network's IP Changed and lost internet connection

So the IP Addresses of the computers in my networks are 10.188.99.100-199
Suddenly we encountered power outage for a few seconds. After it my the computers ip addresses in the network is now different. And I cannot access the internet and network anymore.
Help please, I've tried restarting the modem,router and switch still nothing happens

You need to check layer by layer then....
From where you get the DHCP IP?
from where your NAT / PAT is done?

Anyone have intermittently lost internet connection, poor network speed and signal with new Time Capsule?

I just bought the new TC with 2gb HD. Replacing 1st Gen Airport Express. I have all the latest firmware and hardware updates. Using: iMac, multiple macbooks and airbooks, multiple iPads, android tablets, iPhones. With the new TC, I have less than impressive range and speed and my internet connection keeps disappearing intermittently. Restarts of my cable modem and the TC sometimes help. This all started with addition of new TC. I have suffered similar episodes in the past with old APE with new firmware updates. Anyone else seeing these problems? I have heard a lot of people say the new TC drastically improved their network range and speed.

The TC is failing and this happens at times with cable or fibre connections due to the WAN port having issues.
The Express uses 100mbit ethernet ports and does seem to have less issues. On the TC the gigabit is sometimes confused. If you have a small swtch around try using that between the fibre connection and the TC.
If you are using a patch cable to a wall outlet.. the other thing you can try is a crossover cable.. these are still readily available and it has helped for some people.
Do a factory reset of the TC.. and then see if you are getting the public IP onto the WAN port.
If you do there are some other issues that happen so if you can.. give us a screenshot of the wan settings you are getting in the airport utilty.
You can just cover the last few digits of the public IP.. although unless it is static it will change anyway.

Lost internet connection..."A connection time out occurred"

I've read a number of recent threads blaming Lion for lost wireless internet connections. I wish my problem was that simple.
I have an AT&T furnished Siemens SpeedStream 4100 modem connected via ethernet cable to a Netgear 3500 router providing a wireless network. This configuration worked without problem for over six months serving an iBook G4 (OS X 10.4) replaced by an iMac (OS X 10.7) in mid August, Lenovo Thinkpad (Windows 7), iPhone 3GS, and occasionally a MacBook (OS X 10.5) and a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6). Then last week my iMac lost internet connectivity and displayed a dialog box saying:
"Could not join NETWORK NAME. A connection timeout occurred."
At the same time, my iPhone lost its WiFi connection to my network, and could not reconnect; and the Thinkpad could no longer find my wireless network.
Thinking the problem was with the Netgear router, I substituted my 6 year old Apple Airport Express in the same configuration, but with a different wireless network name. (I had used this network setup successfully for over five years before replacing the Airport Express with the Netgear router in February.) The Airport Express network worked on both computers and my iPhone for a couple of days before I again lost internet connectivity exactly as I had with the Netgear router.
I called AT&T, thinking the Siemens modem must be at fault, since a problem with that one device seemed more likely than successive failures of two different routers within a few days of each other, or a simultaneous problem with a Mac, PC and iPhone. AT&T said their modem checked out problem free. I have now connected my iMac directly to the Siemens modem with an ethernet cable and have a problem free wired internet connection.
I need my wireless network. Any thoughts on what happened to my WiFi?

AppleSince86 ... we have this same problem with a wired version of 802.1x
It appears if a user updates their password (perhaps their login screen prompts this to do this)... the underlying eapolclient will still use the old outdated password to reauthenticate upon the next x min refresh interval.
This will basically kick the user off line.
Two things could really improve this process:
1) When the operating system reauthenticates for network access... use the absolute most current version of a users password
2) Timeout handling seems much more wonky in 10.7 / 10.8 ... could probably shorten all of the timeouts up a great deal... no need to wait 30 seconds error out... in reality... if you haven't heard back in 5 seconds, you're not going to.
Unfortunately, I haven't found any configuration files to control this from our end... it appears to be the compiled behavior of the apple code
