Upgrade to 10.6.8 Killed Internet Connection

So I have been trying to upgrade our server, and I did the software update to 10.6.8, and whenever I do that it kills my internet connection. No matter what I do, it won't let me con

If your MacBook Pro is 10.5.8 as you say it is, the 10.6.8 Combo Pack will not work until after you have purchased the Snow Leopard install disc and run the software to upgrade your system. Once you get your Mac to 10.6.x, you can download the 10.6.8 combo pack, though I'd just recommend doing it through Software Updates as you normally would do updates.
Going from 10.5 to 10.6 or 10.6 to 10.7 is an upgrade and cost money.
Going from 10.6.7 to 10.6.8 or 10.7 to 10.7.1 is an update and is free.
The combo pack is made to go from 10.6.0 to 10.6.8 in one large update. You cannot go from 10.5.8 with it.

Upgraded to Win 7 Pro lost internet connect

I had FiOS internet installed, but at the exact same time my desktop computer blew it brains, so I never established internet connection through my computer. I purchased a new HP desktop with Win 7 Home Edition operating system, and yesterday I set it up. I used the FiOS disk given to me by the technician and with it easily established connection to the internet. I then installed a desktop email program (Thunderbird), and installed Microsoft Office 2003, and then via installation disk updated Win 7 Home Edition to Win 7 Professional. When the desktop loaded I noted none of the programs I installed were there, and I was unable to connect to the internet. I then inserted the FiOS Disk into the Disk Drive, but I could not establish a connection to the internet.

MrsEd ... I want to thank you for taking the time to respond to my problem. I am not a computer person so forgive me if I say something stupid ... a friend suggested when I installed the Win 7 upgrade (to Pro) I possibly over-wrote (or deleted) the driver for the Ethernet card. So I went to HP's site and tried to determine the correct Ethernet card and the appropriate driver. I downloaded the driver (at work), burned it to a CD, and need to bring the CD home to install the driver (keeping my fingers crossed). Hopefully this will solve the problem. Again, thanks for the response.

OS 10.4.9 Combined Update Killing Internet Connection

Hey All,
So here is my situation - last night I ran TechTools as my ibook has been acting somewhat erratically as of late (shutting down completely without warning when the battery gets to about 1/4 strength). Techtools found errors and I asked for them to repair it...and it wiped my drive clean.
So, I erased and restored using the provided discs. Once this was done, I was able to connect to my wireless network no problem. I ran the software update which of course found a number of downloads. After completing most of them, my internet connection was suddenly lost. I noticed that this happened while the 10.4.9 Combined update was being installed, and it was marked as not being completed.
Network Diagnostics shows that I was able to connect to my Airport, but could no longer reach my ISP. I tried to connect via ethernet directly to my cable modem, and could still not connect.
I decided to erase and reinstall again, and the same thing happened. My internet connection was fine until the OS 10.4.9 combined update started to download. This is killing me...help?

Thanks for the advice - I do have a strong suspicion that the logic board needs to be replaced based on the other behavior that brought me to use TechTools which caused this whole mess to begin with, however AHT showed that everything passed. I do find it quite strange that it works fine until it starts to download the 10.4.9 combined update though.
I will download the combined update and burn it to a disc and try to run it on the machine tonight and see if that makes any difference. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

External Firewire 800 hard disk kills internet connection

Hi,
I am having the following problem:
1. Plug Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 1TB drive into Macbook Pro via Firewire 800
2. Internet connection dies. By "dies", I mean I disconnect from the wifi network. The degree of death varies from complete lack of visibility of the wifi network, to visibility but cannot connect ("connection timeout" when entering the password (which I should not have to enter anyway, as it's cached in my keychain)), to connection but no IP address given by the router via DHCP, to sometimes getting an IP but being unable to ping any other IP address on the network apart from my own.
3. Ejecting then disconnecting the drive physically, fixes the problem.
4. Connecting the drive via USB instead of FW800, does not reproduce the problem.
5. Connecting any my 500GB Lacie rugged drive via FW800 does not produce the problem.
Like the guy in this discussion (http://discussions.apple.com/message/15615649#15615649), this is only happening with my Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 1TB drive and only when I connect it via Firewire800. With any other drive, OR if I connect the Seagate via USB, all is OK. Note that I'm re-posting this discussion because that other guy accidentally marked the problem as "fixed", but it was never solved.

When the firewire card is not connected, I get the following screen in system profiler:
FireWire Bus: powerbook's built-in FireWire bus
Maximum Speed: Up to 800 Mb/sec
OXFORD IDE Device 1:

Notice that the connection speed of the hard disk is 400Mb/s in the first, and 800Mb/s in the second.
The reason I'm fussing about this is because I'm using the hard drive with Pro tools, which officially supports Firewire 800 hard disks with the Oxford 912 chipset (which is what this one's got). And I've had a lot of problems bouncing to disk, even with just a stereo mix (96KHz 24 bit) Where Pro Tools (M-Powered) says that it can't read data from the hard disk fast enough!
I just want the hard disk to run at 800Mb/s and the audio interface to run at 400. Am I asking too much?
Someone must know how to do it.
Thanks for your help!

Upgrade of iPad to ios6 killed my connection completely

I upgraded my iPad to 6 and now the wifi is completely unresponsive. Apple tells me I chose to upgrade and that's my choice. It worked perfectly, only 2 years old, and now it is a paperweight.
I have tried every suggestion on every forum. Spent the last 3 days non stop. Apple genius tells me to try again. Set back to default and 5.
Can anyone tell me if I truly am out of luck? All.previous posts talk about dropped wifi, but mine scans and just can't find any networks at all. Finally the battery runs out from searching.
Help please. Apple will let me pay $249 for a new one. Very generous when their upgrade killed it.

Does your MacBook Pro connect to the router you are trying to connect the iPad to?
Have you tried going to a site, like McDonalds or Starbucks, that has open wifi to see if you can detect/connect?
Try this - 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.)

Hooked up RT31P2 and killed internet connection....

I spent an hour with tech support hooking up my Linksys WRT54GL wireless router with 3 computers (one of them a laptop) and have suceeded. However, I went to hook up my Vonage router and when I did I lost internet access. My hook up was as follows. CAT 5 cable from RT31P2 (Internet port) to Arris model TM402P/110 from Time Warner cable and then CAT 5 from Port number 1 on the RT31P2 to "Internet" port on the WRT54GL.
I obviously took that off to come here and ask: Did I connect wrong or is there something wrong with the RT31P2? It worked at my other place wonderfully hooked up to my old router (Linksys BEFSR41)
Can anyone tell me how I can get my vonage back up and running and have internet without problems or if there even is a way?

If your WRT54GL router is still fuctional when you connect your modem to WRT54GL router...Then the set-up should be Cable Modem connected to the Internet Port of WRT54GL router using CAT5 Cable, CAT5 Cable from Ethernet Port1 on the WRT54GL to the Internet Port on the RT31P2 router...Everything should work fine...

After upgrade Itunes, no internet connection

I just purchased an Ipod Touch. When I attached it to my Acer netbook running XP, I was prompted to upgrade my ITunes software, not sure what the version on the computer was as I never used it. Anyway when the upgrade was completed I lost my Internet connection from the netbook. I did a system restore, which fixed that problem. However the same problem occurred when I tried to install ITunes again. Has anyone had this problem? Is there a fix for it. System restore brought my Internet connection back, so I can try the upgrade again and try to work though it. Any help would be appreciated.
On a side note the Ipod Touch is nice and the Internet connection on that works fine. I just wish I could put some of my music / video's on it.

I'd try the install again, Bob, and then apply TG10987's instructions from the following post:

Server loses internet connection after creating virtual switch in hyper-v

On a fresh Server 2012R2 Essentials install, I set up Hyper-v and created an external virtual switch. Connection to the vm is good but Health Report no shows loss of internet connectivity and that the router is incorrectly setup.
However, I still have a working internet connection? I worry that the server may not update or allow Anywhere Access at some time. Any suggestions? Thanks

If Hyper-V virtual switch behaves strange and server is destined for testing, then it's correct and I recomend delete this virtual switch and create it again.
Here is some issues with internet connection and Hyper-V switch, none of them does not match your problem, but can be inspirative for troubleshooting:

Re: Satellite 1670 - Back to 98SE - Internet connection problems

I have been using W2K on my 1670 for sometime, but it was slowish, so I decided to put in the recovery disks and get 98SE back.
As the laptop is quite old and does not have ethernet as hardware, I also installed a PC Line Ethernet Card Bus, and this has been properly installed in device manager.
Have upgraded to IE6, been through the Internet connection wizard, LAN settings, automatic proxy server etc.. However, the IP address is still zero. I can't adjust the ethernet connection and there are options to adjust dial up, but as I'm not using this this may be futile.
Is there a known problem here? I had no problem with my Portege 4000 which had ethernet installed as part of its hardware.

After 10 years Microsoft haven't produced an alternative for low RAM systems made for 98 - ME: terrible, 2000: OK, but too slow for this particular laptop, XP: not viable although I've seen many people put this on computers made for 98- not good, Vista: no comment.
This is only a spare system anyway and not my main laptop.
Yep- I am connected to broadband router. There's no firewall. I got IP address information from a linux live cd on the same system and tried to assign manually last night but it didn't work.

No internet connection for non-admin users

Have upgraded to Yosemite and now the internet connection for users with parental controls have stopped working. Under Mavericks there was no problem with the settings.
If I log into an admin account on the same machine then the wifi works fine. Under the parental controlled account wifi is connected but any web based services can't connect and can't browse to any page.
Only option at this point would be to change accounts over to admin which would not be ideal.
Any ideas?

Next to the "check for updates" button it says iTunes will automatically check on a certain day (that day being tomorrow) but what if I want to check before that day to make sure everything is up to date
Then click on the Check for updates button.
Note that this is for the iPod updates only. This doesn't check for updates to iTunes.
iTunes pref -> General is where you set to check for iTunes updates.
Make sure your firewalls (Windows, Norton, router)allow iTunes access.

Current iTunes upgrade kills ALL internet connection to computer

I'm using iTunes on Windows XP SP3. Previous versions were not a problem. I upgraded to the current version (11.0.2) and lost all internet connectivity, not just to the iTunes store, but to ALL applications; my computer reported that NO internet connection was present at all. Doing a system restore resolved this, but the upgrade left some remnant that has rendered the previously working version of iTunes inoperable; when I execute it, it suggests I download the current version to correct the problem, but of course that kills my internet connection altogether and thus is not a solution.
Googling this has indicated fixes involving:
1) Deleting the iTunesPrefs.XML file
--> That didn't work.
2) A solution involving executing "netsh winsock reset" at the command prompt and then rebooting.
--> That didn't work either.
In fact, nothing I could find online worked. I am NOT using Norton, McAfee, or any other anti-virus or firewall that would be causing the conflict. Again, I'm using Windows XP SP3, and have a direct internet feed into my computer.
What can be done to fix this? Currently I cannot use iTunes at all on my computer because of the upgrade and the havoc it's caused (the System Restore did NOT restore the previous working version of iTunes; when I execute it, it claims a component is missing and I should download and install the current version...)
Many thanks in advance,
Tom

Timecapsule kills internet/wifi connection, when starting backup?

Everytime my timecapsule start backing up, my wifi/internet connection is killed?
I still see my airport in the top bar wifi logo, but no internet connection
I have to restart timecapsule before i get my internet back
Im on a imac 27" fully upgraded with OSX Lion
Anyone?

Unless you're backing up more than one device, a Time Capsule is a rather expensive Time Machine device.
That display shows that you're connecting over the 2.4 GHz band, which tends to be slower with an ideal connection, but tends to hold up better over distance and through interferences such as walls.
Is there any way you could connect your iMac to the Time Capsule with an Ethernet cable, at least long enough to run a test of a Time Machine backup. Before you run such a test, be sure that there's an Ethernet connection item in the list in the Network panel of System Preferences. To assure that you're using the Ethernet connection, you might also want to turn off the iMac's Wi-Fi feature.
Still another option might be PowerLine equipment. For less than the cost of an AirPort Extreme you could have near-Ethernet speeds without the need for a cable.

Skype calls kill my internet connection.

Hello,
Not sure this is the right area or not but this issue is becomming kind of fustrating.
Recently I got a new modem (also upgraded mac os though I doubt thats connected); now whenever I start a call on skype it goes okay for a few seconds, then quality drops, then I all together lose connection to skype. Then after a few moments the connection to my modem itself is unresponsive and I find the only thing I can do is restart it and wait a few moments.
This only happens with Skype however, not with online gaming, youtube/movies ect.
Does anyone have any advice or ideas? Can't really use skype anymore...

Connectivity issues like that sounds like a network issue to me.
First, learn to use Skype's Technical Call Information window
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA11066/is-my-call-being-relayed-in-skype-for-mac-os-x
While in calls keep an eye on that window while it does display some cryptic looking error messages those error messages relayed here on the board can be helpful in identifying your problems.
Second test your network connection with a free tool from MegaPath. Critically network speed is far from the only metric. Latency, Jitter, and loss are very important for any RTC ( Real Time Communication ) via the Internet.
http://www.megapath.com/speedtestplus/
Have you seen all the different things that can interfere with WiFi? Baby monitors, cordless phones, you call phone, wireless speakers, your microwave, cables etc, etc, etc.
If your having trouble with Skype grab a LAN cable and plug it directly into your router and try again. Eliminating the wifi network from your list of trouble suspects should the FIRST step in halving your trouble.

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.

Hi..
Restart your router then restart the iPhone to test.
If that doesn't help, try this support article > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
