What do I need to connect to the internet

I have a mac book OSX 105.3 Leopard, which i purchased in the USA. Since arrivng in the Uk I have been ubable to connect to the internet. I was under the impression that once connected to a modem I would have the interenet. I tried connecting it to the cable modem in the place where I'm staying and nothing happens. It seems that nobody here has a mac, and there is no Apple store for me to go to ( Liverpool). I found one store that sells aplle products and they told me it need to be reconfigured???? The apple phone support are telling me it's the modem. I was going to get airport, but apple says that won't help. I've never had problems with any of my macs in the US, but here I feel stranded. Do I need to replace the cable modem with a wireless modem? Will this work as they are expensive and non refundable. Help!

Welcome to the Apple boards:
It could be an old modem that is not Leopard compatible.
You may need to borrow a PC in order to check and/or download the latest modem firmware.
Also temporarily turn off your firewall.
Do you have the instruction book for the modem?
If the modem is a NAT type (most are) the you should be able to access it directly by entering its IP address. Here in the US, it's usually 192.168.1.1 or .251. Apple uses the 10.x.x.x scheme and there is another one.
If you manage to access the modem this way, you might need a password. The cable company or the manual should have the defalt userid and password.
If you manage to get "inside" the modem, then you know that the problem is partially solved.
You might also use the Mac Network Utility.app to debug your system.
I don't think it is a compatibility issue, per se, but simply some settings that have to be changed.
There are many Leopard users in England and perhaps someone there can chime in and be of further assistance.

I am trying to update my itunes to the latest version, but it says the itunes server could not be updated and i need to connect to the internet when I amlready am connected

I am trying to update my itunes to the latest version, but it says the itunes server could not be updated and i need to connect to the internet when I amlready am connected. How do I get the latest version of itunes so i can sync my iphone with itunes without losing all my songs?

We were able to fix our machine! I just could not make sense of the error message, so we were trying non-Microsoft, non-Apple solutions.
Our Solution: Install MalWareBytes, and run a Quick Scan.
Even thought both Microsoft anti-virus and Defender were running on our Windows 8 machine, MalWareBytes found about 100 problems. As I looked over the types of problem and locations, I found several that referenced the exact directory referenced in this message. The machine had to be restarted for MalWareBytes to complete the cleaning, but iTunes installed afterwards with no problems.
Thank you MalWareBytes!

What if I can't connect to the Internet?

I am connected to wifi, but my iTunes and safari will not connect to the Internet . What can I do to fix this?

Power down your router, wait ten seconds and power it up again.
If that diesb't work, there might be a firewall in the router. You need administrative access to the router to check that out. If it's there, turn it off and test again. If that solves the problem, turn it back on but make it a notch weaker. Repeat as necessary.
By the way don't be fooled if other devices (computers) work fine through the router. That's typical.

I am trying to install a trial version of Adobe CC, and it keeps telling me that I need to connect to the internet. I am connected to the internet, why won't the program install?

I have downloaded the trial version of Adobe Cloud, but when I try to install the program, it keeps telling me to connect to the internet. I AM connected to the internet. What am I doing wrong?

No, we don't phone. Sorry, not how forums work. We are not Adobe staff.
1. What is the exact message you get when trying to download?

Maybe this:

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.

I have downloaded Viber to my iPhone 4s, it was previously working but now displays a message saying i need to connect to the internet before i can make a call or anything else, My phone is connected but the app does not seem to recognise this?

I have downloaded Viber to my iphone 4S, it was previously working, but as of today it has continually asked for an internet connection when i try to make a call or send a message. It displays this message while connected to the internet at my home, or with 3g. my internet connections seems to work fine on other apps that require this. I have tried to reinstall viber but i can not not setup my profile becauase the same message displays. does anyone know how i can resolve this?

Thanks, as it still will not work, I assume it is damaged and needs to be sent in for repairs.

Re: what causes an error "not connected to the internet" when I try and e-mail photos

I'm having the same problem with my PhotosmartC3180. When I try to e-mail photos I get a "not connected to the internet" message despite having a web page open at the same time. I run the Print & Scan Doctor and it says everything is running perfectly. Conversely, I cannot see how to save a photo at e-mail quality and I don't want to cut and paste huge pictures that will slow down the receiver's e-mail. Thanks in advance, Wayne

Hello WayneSchlapkohl,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are looking to Email a scanned photo, but do not want the file to be to large. Are you using HP software when you get the error "not connected to the internet" ? If so, What is the Operating System installed, Windows, including version, e.g. Windows 7 or Mac, including version, e.g. 10.8?
Lowering the DPI or resolution will help keep the file size down, if you have an option for that in the software.
Also, what is the Email client are you using, MSN, Gmail, etc?
Cheers,
JERENDS

What causes an error "not connected to the internet" when I try and e-mail photos

I have an HP printer and trying to e-mail photos and get message "not connected to the internet" I can go thru the entire process but when I go to e-mail..this is the message i get..I'm not using a HP computer and have Comcast...any help would be appreciated...also is there anyway to upload them to some other photo site?

Hi 123sd,
Thank you for the response. Your last post has me a bit confused so I need to ask some further questions:
Which printer do you have? The Officejet J4500 printer or a Photosmart printer? If you have a Photosmart printer, which one do you have?
How is the Photosmart printer connected (USB cable or wireless)? If you have the printer connected wirelessly, have you tried setting a manual IP address and manual DNS servers? If not the steps can be found in this post which also has screen shots. Please don’t worry the screen shots are for a Photosmart 7510, the steps are the same.
Have you enabled the web services on the Photosmart? Please press the ePrint icon on the front panel of the printer. If it asks you accept the terms of service, then web services is off.
Where are the photos located that you want to email (memory card, mobile device, computer, etc)?
Are you trying to use the scan to email feature?
Thank you and I’m sorry for misunderstanding.
Regards,
Happytohelp01

I selected 179 photos to be printed 4 x 6. The program indicated that they were being processed. At the completion of the processing, I get the message "I can not get a connection". I am able to connect to the internet for other programs, but not aperture. What gives???

Hello thexchicop,

Er, plug in the Ethernet cable to the NIC.
Most NIC's have two LEDs on them: one for "link connectivity" (the NIC is electrically connected to the network) and one that blinks when a packet is received.
If your eth0 is a wireless device, review its setup to make sure that any security key information is set exactly right so that you can connect to a secured wireless network.

Need help connecting to the internet via Dial-up?

Hi! My son and his mini have moved back to Vermont, and where he is only dial-up is available. I thought the hookup would be simple......I haven't a clue. I have been on high spped cable for so long that I need help!!!!! Here is what I tried. Phone cable to the modem. (Can't connect it directly to the mini because it only takes an ethernet cable) USB cable from the modem to the mini. Using the Verizon software we got nowhere because we could not get a connection...Need help, Thanks Bill

The first bit of info is which Verizon number to use to dial-up, so that it is a local call. Is your son going to call from Essex Jct or somewhere else? Basically we need his area code and first three digits of phone number, if you are comfortable giving that. Otherwise you'll have to call Verizon and ask them for the local number to call.
Then we have to look up how Verizon wants login info. Perhaps another customer can help here. The conventions vary from one ISP to another. Please don't give us you login here!
That should be enough to get you connected and surfing. Then we have to configure the mail program. But again a little research or help from another Verizon customer will do the trick.
Please don't install their software. I've spent countless hours removing ISPs' extra software from friends computers. Such software does not necessarily make things faster and it leaves you with a non-standard system. It's also about getting their hooks into you to push more advertising at you and more revenue their way. (This helps explain why they are so eager for you to use their software BTW.)
There are techniques to speed up dial-up, but they don't involve extra ISP software and ads. They have to do with keeping the ads away in the first place.

What do I need to get on the Internet wirelessly on imac g4

Airport card
Or
USB wireless thing
If so what type?

Do you really have?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.0.x)
Here is how to find out what version of Mac OS you are running:
Click on the blue apple in the upper left hand of the screen.
click on this icon
Click on the first line, "About This Mac"
Most of these are numbers & that's what we want.
What version & Processor do you have?
If you have 10.0, the only thing that will work are the ethernet bridges. Examples.
Ethernet Bridge
Please note this requires mac os x 10.5 or greater to configure or windows xp to configure.
Ethernet Bridge "The versatile Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge can make any wired Ethernet-equipped device a part of your wireless network." from linksys example: http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-RE1000-Wireless-N-Range-Extender/dp/B005FDXMJS/ref =sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1314563758&sr=8-1
Once configured, you can use it on any ethernet port.
Airport ExpressAirport Express is an external unit and you can configure it as a bridge. 802.11n ( I believe you will need a more modern version of Mac OS X to configure. Sadly, Apple uses a configuration program to configure, not a web browser. )

Go to the router admin page and turn the MAC filter off. Or, you can manually enter your iPT MAC ID inter the MAC filter list. This will do it.
