Upgraded to 3.6.4 yesterday now cannot connect to the internet but IE still can. I have already checked its allowed on my Firewall.

I upgraded to 3.6.4 and now Firefox is 'Unable to connect' to the internet yet IE still can. I have checked that Firefox is allowed on my firewall. Any ideas please?

I have already tried removing firefox from my firewall. Even when I do that, my firewall doesn't detect firefox and prompt me to add it. And when I manually add it, it still doesn't work anyways. I've already tried the link as well, but it has been unhelpful. :/

I just upgraded to firefox 6 and now cannot connect to the internet. IE still works fine but firefox won't connect. Any suggestions on how to get the new firefox to connect to the internet?

I just upgraded to ff 6.0.1 via an automatic push. Since then, ff hasnt been able to connect to the internet. Error message:
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.google.com.Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.google.com.
IE has no trouble connecting to the internet.

After upgrading, your firewall may not be recognizing the new Firefox version and is not allowing it access to the internet. On your firewall progam's allowed applications list, remove Firefox, then re-start Firefox, try going to a website, your firewall will detect the new version of Firefox, then give the permissions needed for Firefox to have internet access.

I have a Power PC G4 which is running on OSX 10.5.8, it has the AirPort utility but cannot connect to the internet as my iMac can, I think I might need an AirPort Card? Is that the case or do I need something different to connect to a wireless modem?

Welcome!
Only one variant of the PowerMac G4 could use the faster Airport Extreme Card. The rest used the original Airport card that is pretty slow.
To get fast wireless without buying more than one thing, consider this:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Edimax/EW7722IN/
It goes in an available PCI slot
There are USB solutions also. However, all PowerMac G4 towers had only slower USB 1.1 ports, so any USB wireless adaptor can only run at about wireless 'B" speeds (slow) unless you also install a PCI USB 2.0 adaptor card. Doing that would allow a USB wireless adaptor to run at its maximum rated speed. These items working together would accomplish that:
USB wireless "dongle:"
Newer Technology MAXPower 802.11n/g/b USB Adapter + Plug and play direct or with extension cradle
USB PCI adaptor:
http://eshop.macsales.com/Search/Search.cfm?Ntk=Primary&Ns=P_Popularity%7c1&Ne=5 000&N=7069&Ntt=USB+PCI
Each approach has its advantages. The PCI wireless card is a one-piece solution that takes up no desk space. The USB2 card+USB2 Dongle gives you more fast ports for transferring date from other external USB devices (primarily cameras and external hard drives) at hugely faster rates than can the original ports. I have a USB 2 PCI card in my G4 tower strictly for transferring images from my digital SLR camera in a timely manner.

I have downloaded the new update for Firefox 3.6 and now cannot connect to the internet. I've checked my firewall and have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, but nothing works.

After installing the new update for Firefox 3.6, no matter what I do, I cannot connect to the internet using Firefox. I can get on the internet using my other browsers (Google Chrome and Internet Explorer), so Firefox is the only one that doesn't work. I have already checked my firewall and have added and removed Firefox from my firewall to no avail. I've also already uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but so far it hasn't helped.

Firefox cannot connect to the internet...i can get on with int. explorer

I always use Firefox as my browser...may be 4.0...recently, I get a message that firefox cannot connect to the internet. I do have an internet connection, since I can connect with internet explorer...any suggestions?

For possible causes see [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]].

Macbook Pro cannot connect to the internet even when others can

Hi! Please help me. We have an internet WIFI connection in our office but only my MacBook Pro cannot connect even when I entered the correct password. My Iphone and Ipad work just fine. It says "connection timeout" but all other laptops can connect. I tried network diagnostics already and it always say "connection timeout". I dont know what to do anymore.

Yes, and when I open the Network Utility it shows a working IP address, and a 54Mb/s speed from the wireless router. It even shows the shared computers from my roomates. But when I try to access the internet it does not load anything on Safari or Firefox ( or any other internet application for that matter). It is completely unconnected. YET, As soon as I activate the AirPort card on the top right where I have my signal strength, it shows on the Network Utility information that there are 'packages' being sent and received, and I have NO programs open what so ever, I have closed everything except finder and network utility... Does this mean I am being hacked, or have some sort of Trojan or something in my computer? I ran an antivirus that my school provided, called Virex by McAfee, it came out clean except it says it cannot read one file.
I tried repairing my disk, and that did not work either. I did the Ram reset like you suggested, but that also did not work. I doubt it being a hardware error. I am going to try to connect it to an ethernet cable to see if that will work. Then I will let you know what happens with that, but that would still not be a solution since I need it wireless, cause the router is in another part of the house.
Thank you for your help, and I hope we can get this sorted out.

Reset password and now cannot connect to the internet

I tried to reset my airport password, and now airport utilities cannot locate the base station and the password is said to be invailid when I enter it, or it repeatedly askes for the password with not change. Any tips??

Push the reset button on the AirPort for one second and release. You now have a few minutes of free access to go in and change the passwords.
If this does not work, then unfortunately, there is not much that you can do at this point other than reset the AirPort router back to factory default settings and then re-configure it again, using a new device name, new wireless network name and password(s).
If you decide to do this.....
Power off the AirPort router for a few minutes
Then, hold in the reset button first...and continue to hold it in for an additional 10 seconds.....while you simultaneously plug the power back into the AirPort router
Release the reset button after the hold period, and allow a full minute for the AriPort to restart
The AirPort is now ready to be re-configured again from scratch

HELP!!!!! I Cannot Connect to the Internet!!!!!!

I just connected my WRT54G router to my modem and hard wired my computer to port 1 on the back of the router............I cannot connect to the internet, but can connect to the router using 192.168.1.1. I am on a DSL connection. Any suggestions???? THANKS!!!!

If you were able to access the router's set-up page using the default gateway 192.168.1.1 with the modem already connected to the internet port of the router, it means that the default of the modem does not conflict with that of the router. if you cant go online, check the status tab and check for IP address. If you got values/numbers there, it should get you online. if not, if they are all 0.0.0.0, it means that you were still not able to establish connection with both devices.
try to connect your modem straight to the computer, if you cannot go online (since you have DSL connection), try to remember if your ISP gave you a username and password. Your modem is set to full bridged so in order for the router to work with the modem, set the Internet Connection type to " PPPoE" (you can see this under Set-Up tab).. and try to check if you can have IP address.
Or if there's no user name and password from ISP. configure first the router without connecting the modem. then change the router's IP address. then connect the router and configure. it should work now. just configure the wireless settings later after you are sure that you are online directly with the router.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

I cannot connect to the internet. I think I have my settings all out of whack now and need to get them back to the way they were when it was working. (I know my wireless router is working because my Dell has no problem connecting to the internet.)

I cannot connect to the internet on my iMac through my wireless router. I think I screwed up the settings and need to reset them. I know the router is working because I can access the internet on my Dell laptop which is located right next to my Mac.

On your iMac try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
In the windows on the left side: Select login for Keychains and "All Items" for Category.
Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
Restart or log out then back in.
2. Move System Configuration Files
(Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
Go to /Library/Preferences
Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)

Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps.

Bonjour / "Cannot connect to the internet" - Adobe Clueless!!!

Since we have upgraded to win7 I have one problem that keeps popping up. When windows is restarted the NIC "Cannot connect to the internet". Easy fix, disable and enable the nic all is well, except it must be done every time win is started.
I have spent hours googling and trying to repair this.
Finally have determined it is ADOBE once again!
They install some CRapple software called Bonjour as a service.
However adobe is not smart enough to install it properly, they call it:
##Id_String2.6844F930_1628_4223_B5CC_5BB94B879762##
Hmmm now that I think about it, in XP it is probably the called running process with NO NAME!
They do not ask to install it, they provide no way to uninstall it.
But on each of our machines stopping and disabling this service and deleting the Bonjour folder and like magic...
Network now connects automatically to the internet.
How much are we paying adobe to pull these moron stunts on us?
How much did the troubleshooting of this adobe bonehead stunt cost us (and I assume many others)!!!
They have made Reader a liitle less viral, but it is still a real pain as a plugin and often times it just hangs for no reason.
And this new (arm?) plugin used for the cool image display that google used to ruin their product...and crash browsers...
I just KNOW it is more adobe moronism...
Sure hope google listens and maybe MOZ will ban adobe for being so clueless!!!!
The funny thing is Bonjour is referred to as " zero-configuration networking" ;-) LMAO

Not long ago Adobe retired at least some of the servers that were involved in supporting Photoshop CS2. I don't know whether that may be the root cause of what you're seeing, but I suspect it might be. They have provided a "standalone" version of Photoshop CS2, complete with all updates, for folks who have Photoshop CS2 licenses:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
Since Adobe is no longer releasing updates for old versions, such as CS2, it's prudent to disable the software that runs in the background incessantly checking for updates that will never come. This will free up resources on your system for real work. Experience has shown it's possible to disable nearly all the software installed by Adobe to run in the background and still run Photoshop quite successfully.
I recommend downloading a free program published by a Microsoft employee called Autoruns for reviewing all the software (not just Adobe) that you have starting and running on your Windows system. Such software is the prime reason Windows systems seem to "bog down" over time. The Autoruns program allows you to disable particular modules you determine you don't need simply by clearing a checkbox, and it retains the information that you have done so by keeping the program in the list, just unchecked.

Upgraded to 3.6.4 yesterday now cannot connect to the internet but IE still can. I have already checked its allowed on my Firewall.
