Unwanted internet dial-up

Hi,
I´ve an old mac probleme again.
I use a little network: PPC QS 733 connceted to an airport extreme via cable.
Powerbook connected to the arport station via WiFi.
Every time at start up there is an unwanted internet connection, an sometime after wakeup, too.
Automatic connetion in the Airport preferences is market, but I need this automatic for mail and Safari, but I want to know which program trigger this unwanted connection.
It is not the time server, it is not the automatic update funtion of Word, Adobe programs, Appple programs...
Any other idea?
There is a function in the airport administrator program to make a time synchronisation, but the is not marked.
Greetings

How to clean mac like deleting unwanted internet files

I never erase unwanted files because I have to know idea how to access them,unlike my hp the icon is their you just have to click it.

It's not clear what you consider "unwanted Internet files" but "Clear history and website data..." from the Safari menu may be what you require. If you have an earlier version of Safari, the equivalent function is named "Reset Safari..."

Since converting to Firefox, unwanted internet explorer sessions keep popping up - how do i prevent them?

The most frequent unwanted Internet Explorer sessions reflect a request to use credit score applications, but other advertising popups appear.

Sounds like Malware.
Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are listed in order of efficacy. '''''(Not all programs detect the same Malware, so you may need to run them all to solve your problem.)''''' These programs are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have.

SLOW internet dial up connection

I bought a Power mac G4 with internal v92 modem. My connect speed is only 28.8k with a average through put of 19k. I can take my wifes PC Computer, plug it into the same wall jack that the Mac was in and get a 50.6K connection with a average through put of 46K. My old PC always connected and still connects at 50.6K on the same wall jack. I am very remote and will never have anything but dial up, 28.8K is not useable.
Reading in some of the OLD posts, it seems like many people with Tiger and the version before it lost connect speed. People wiht older OS have normal speed.
Is there a fix ? I talked with Apple Tech Support and they deny there is a problem.
What about a external USB Modem ? It appears that Zoom makes the only external USB that will run with Mac.
Thanks for any help possible. I am running OS 10.4.7

Thanks for the link to the other discussion. I too have the problem when connecting to the web that It streams the "connecting" message but does not dial or make any noise and is not connected to the phone line. It just continues to stream the "connecting" message. If I select "disconnect" then it streams the "disconnecting" message and is completely hung -the computer is not hung, just the modem. I can sometimes get out of this by disconnecting the modem and plugging it back in. That worked for a while but more and more it just crashes and requires a restart. Then after a restart I can get a 28.8K The streaming/slow conect is random in pattern.
This is serious. I too read the user reports on the Apple Store regarding the USB Modem. No Sale on that Modem. Now, I doubt the Zoom will help either.
Apple needs to realize and respond to this problem, its on going. As I mentioned before, Not everyone in the US has Broadband.
I am test driving this Power Mac G4 to see the differences between it and PC/Windows for my business. It will be a capital expense to buy all new Macs or PC's. I am very impressed with Mac, In fact wish I got a Mac a long time ago. Howwever, If Apple Cant, Wont or does not know how to give a good modem dial up connection, I will not be able to replace my ageing PC's with Macs. My business requires a lot of Internet use.
Please take note Apple, this is a business application, your falling short !!!

Internet Dial-up connect without Comcast cable ?

What hardware/accessories are needed to establish an internet connection via HiSpeed dialup service
Want to use Copper.net(eg) and quit paying for & using Comcast DSL modem(they are a monopoly here in Jersey City,charging $50/month) ???
Is this even possible ? I have only this one computer & no network.

King H.:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
To use a dial up connection go to Apple menu > System Preferences > Network > Show > Internal Modem and set up account information. To do your regular dialing up you can to to Applications > Internet Connect. Select Show modem status in menu bar and connect either from Internet Connect or clicking the phone on the menu bar and selecting Connect.
To get more info on this you can call Tech Support and the ISP and they will guide your through the process. You can also, while you have System Preferences open, go to the Help menu, launch the Help Viewer and browse for the topic you need.
Please post back with any specific questions on this subject.
Good luck.

Evaluation of Solaris 8 - Internet Dial Up

I'm looking to load Solaris 8 onto a new development box which will run Oracle and associated tools.
I am trying to find out if Solaris has a function similar to Windows Dial Up Netwokring or if Solaris makes other arangements for Internet connection.
I'm very new to SOlaris - so I have appreciated all the comments and advice on this forum. I'll let you all know who well (or disasteously) my installation goes when I start next week.
Thanks in advance
Chris.

Hi Chris,
I think what you want is PPP. Take a look at the System Administrator Guide volume 3.
Hope that helps,

IMac can't connect to internet dial up after start up.

I've a problem every time I try to make a connection to the internet directly after starting up my iMac. The very first time I try to log on to my ISP the Mac appears to make a connection, the status window in Internet connect indicates that it has (generally 52-54000bps), but when I try to surf, my browser can't find any sites, same with email. I get the standard connection noise when dialing out, occasionally the noise drops out mid way through, but it always makes a connection. Sometimes it will disconnect after about 30-40 secs, sometimes it doesn't. When I reconnect a second time I get good speeds and can stay on for hours. This is happening every time I boot up and dial out, basically I now expect to have to dial out twice before I can get onto the web every time I switch on the computer.
I've read a few threads re this problem, it seems the iMac has a software modem which can cause some problems, but there doesn't seem to be too many complaints about this exact same issue. Should I be getting a Mac tech to sort this out or is this a generic issue that may be resolved in a future software update? This is a new Mac my second as the first nearly flew out the window after a kernel panic. Apple tech support in Sydney don't seem to have heard of this problem, and have told me to re install the OS again, which of course I have, plus run disk aid and re set the permissions etc etc...
The ISP has given me an alternative dial up number which actually works the first time I dial in, but I only get speeds of 28000bps. Can anyone shed any light on this? Will I get a similar problem if I went to Broadband?
Thanks for any comments...

Unfortunately I've not got any help on this issue. An Apple tech has told me to try changing the modem settings down to V34 which I did, the connection worked correctly but I was only getting speeds of up to 33000bps, real speed tests showed I was actually only on 28000bps, same as when I dialed the alternative number given by the ISP, not good enough. I don't have any other devices connected to the phone line, in fact the line is only used for the internet. Maybe there is a problem with this type of software modem, but then why isn't there more comments here, unless everyone else is on broadband. Apple and my ISP seem to think the slower connection is more reliable, it is but at a cost. Not sure why this is considered better when the speed is so slowww. Like Seb above I don't have any problems when I'm using a Windows lap top on the same line.
Anyone out there know the answer??? There are at least 3 of us with this problem...

N8 apps make unwanted internet connection automati...

Dear users,
I have had my N8 for a week now. It's beautiful, but there is only one issue I cannot resolve.
With my other Nokia's (also Vodafone as provider) I was able to set any internet connection manually by selecting "Always ask" in the phone's connection settings to prevent the phone from making expensive internet Vodafone connections, especially when being abroad.
With my new N8, Vodafone has secured my internet connections (Vodafone Live), so I am not able to edit the connections anymore and make adjustments. I noticed that with many apps from the Ovi Store, my phone immediately selects Vodafone Live as an internet connection automatically, There is no way to change this or to prevent the app from making the connection to Vodafone Live. Even when my home Wifi network is in range.
Anyone with the same problem? Is it a Vodafone issue? Is Vodafone trying to push users to use their internet connection by protecting the connection settings for Vodafone Live?
Thank you so much...
Joost
Solved!

hi everyone,
first of all i want to say im polish so... sorry for my english ;p
im my language there is only one article about automatic connection forced by on n8-> http://translate.google.pl/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=pl&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http%...
i figured out its propably by nokia ovi store.
ive found that my n8 have the same problem as yours, i mean its connecting automatically to internet by network with priority #1 in INTERNET group. If its WiFi, nokia will connect by this WiFi if its Network Package Connection, nokia will connect by this one.
Shutting down (by widget) scanning for WiFi or disconnecting gives no improvment, still connecting about 3 sec after disconnecting.
Remove/Editing/Adding again connections
gives no effect
Restarting phone does not help. Widgets are offline.
setting -> connectivity -> admin.setting -> package data -> when needed/when exist
gives no effect
Menu -> Settings -> Connectivity -> Settings -> Data use in home country
Automatic/Always ask/WLAN only/Home network only
gives no effect
Menu -> Settings -> Connectivity -> Settings -> Switch to WLAN
Only know WLANs/Manual
gives no effect
Any ideas ??
FOUND IT !! Thank you ISMOK it was mail synchronising, after turning off every day it has stopped connecting.

Unwanted Internet Explorer (11) Addons - Cannot disable or remove

Hi folks - I have two IE add-ons that were installed without my knowledge (Apps-Hat and HDTotal1 - in case it matters) and I cannot disable or remove them (the options to do these are greyed out). Additionally, the folder and the dll files supposedly
associated with these addons no longer exist - I assume this happened when I uninstalled the software or did a system restore to get rid of it.
I don't know if they are doing anything malicious - Malware-bytes and Avira scans do not identify any issues - but I want to disable and remove them.
Is there any way to do this?
Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Hi,
These two add-ons might got installed when you install free applications from the internet, such as free softwares,
videos or something else, so be careful when you download these free application.
Run this tool, check if it cna make any differnece
Malicious Software Removal Tool
http://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/malware-removal.aspx
And make sure no Apps-Hat or HDTotal1 related 3 rd party program is installed in your system, check in Control Panel\Programs and Features
Another chance to disable the add-on is via registry,
locate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Settings, find the class ID of that add-on (right click the add-on, then "More information", find the class ID), then set “Flags”=dword:00000001 to disable it.

Unwanted internet pages opening

Hi. I opened a few torrent pages two days ago with Safari and since that on whichever of my usual pages I click a button three different pages open in new tabs:
two of them are similar:
https://123vidz.com/Registration?&theme=tiger&a_aid=51e41a1648fe5&a_bid=72491354 &chan=&pubid=&data1=&sid=&clickid=TR_02C2L9IzzGH6U6D&subid=&g=5346f34286586eb281 829f7bd2619a7a&&ref=1412825122
And the third (of course)

How can I stop this from happening? (I checked for an option to block a page in Security but I didn't find it. They're not pop-ups.)
Thanx, anyone.

You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

How to connect my laptop to the internet using my iphone?

Hello,
I've just change from my former Nokia N95 to the iphone 4 (on Tmobile Germany) and I'm totally thrilled because this new device is just fantastic!
However, I could easily connect my macbook via bluetooth to connect to the internet occasionally. I couldn't yet figure out how I can achive this with my iphone?
Any hints would be very welcome!
Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot for your hints.
However, I still don't quite get it.
The links you stated say that I would have to contact my carrier to enable a certain "Tethering"-option, whatever that is. This would cost me another 5€ extra per MONTH for an option that I probably don't need at all - I don't need tethering or anything, just internet-dialup.
I guess they can't charge a monthly fee for a phone feature
To make it clear:
I don't need extra data volume (I got a flat already), so there is no need upgrade my tariff. I only want to connect my phone to my macbook and to dialup to the internet, just like I did with my former phones.
No "Tethering" or whatever needed, just Internet dial-up. How do I do that?
Thanks in advance!!

Connection of SUN to internet and to PC

Hi,
Help me please.
1)How could i connect my Sun Ultra to internet(dial up). Do i need a special modem for Sun.....or ethernet card would be enough?
Below is the system specification:
Sun UltraSPARC-IIi 270MHz processor
256 MB memory
8.4 GB HDD
100/10BaseT Ethernet
CD-ROM drive
3.5" Floppy drive
2)Also, how to connect Sun to my PC.
Much Obliged

"dial up" does not need a ethernet card.
If you have a broadband you can connect it with ethernetcard and configures the Soalris with DHCP.
Use a ordinary modem for the dialup over phoneline.
Connect Sun to PC depends on what you meen.
If you want to share files. Install a NFS server on your Windows. Searh for NFU (Network Services for Unix" on microsoft site. Or on the Sun Solaris use Samba to mount Windows Shares.
If you want remote desktop. Use the rdesktop software that installs with the Solaris Companion CD. You can access your windows desktop from inside your Solaris.
Or if you wish, you can use software like xmanager and alike to access the SUN desktop from your Windows OS.

Java dial-up abilities

Hi,
Is it possible to perform dial-up connections (to some remote computer) from Java desktop? Are there Java APIs that would give me the ability to get access to functions such as RAS networking in Windows or PPP dialups in Linux?
I need wide functional features, not just like connecting to default entry or what javax.comm offers (serial or parallel ports). Any useful threads or links would be very helpful.

Thank you for advice, but that's not what I'm looking for. Imagine a Java application (Windows or Linux based) making connections to some remote servers by means of PPP, which finaly establishes TCP/IP connections. There can be various types of connections using modems, VPNs, mobile phones, etc. Internet dial-up connections are one of its subsets. And there's an urgent need to control those connections (calling, establishing, hanging up) from Java application.

Connect to Internet via Bluetooth with 6121 Classi...

I have a new Nokia 6121 Classic and a Thinkpad T60 with the latest Bluetooth drivers and Windows XP SP2.
I've installed the Nokia software and it asked to get the updated software from the Internet and installed 6.86.9.0
It connected fine via Bluetooth (WIDCOM) and I'm able to Sync my contacts/transfer files without any problems. I then throught I'd connect it to the Internet. I tried the cable connection and it connected fine via 3G to my carrier Optus.
However, if I don't use the USB cable and try via Bluetooth (what I want) it starts to connect and says 'Looking for bluetooth devices'...which is really strange since it's already connected !! Windows XP beeps quickly as if something has been plugged into a USB port, but nothing has. After about 20-30 secs, Windows XP beeps (as if something has been unplugged, but nothing has. The Nokia Connection Manager then says "No modem found!"
It's so strange...it can see the Nokia phone fine via Bluetooth. I then tried to connect via "My Bluetooth Places" and XP also connected fine to the phone. It then installed another dialup connection via Bluetooth. But if I click on that icon, it connects to the phone but then asks for a userid/password which I have no idea what to enter. So I think I need to use the Nokia PC suite, but it won't connect to the Internet via the phone, unless I use the USB cable.
It's a strange one... I've searched the forums but can't see any clues for my particular case.

For anyone who's interested I solved this by:
- Edit the Phone number for the bluetooth Modem and entering *99#
- For the modem, setting it's Maximum speed to the highest. In my case it was 921600.
- Go into Control Panel - Phone and Modem Options - Modems - Select Bluetooth Modem - Properties - Advanced tab and enter at+cgdcont=1,”IP”,”internet”
Dial the connection by going into My Bluetooth Places and double clicking on the icon. When prompted enter a blank userid and password. It should then connect to the Internet via your mobile !
