I have a Mac Pro 4,1 quad core intel Xeon running mac OSX 10.6.8 and I have just moved studios and now need to use the Internet wirelessly but there's no airport facilities on this model can anyone tell me what model of airport card I would need for this

Instead of getting a wireless card for the Mac Pro, you might want to consider getting an 802.11ac wireless bridge device that would enable you to connect more than one device to it by Ethernet cable and to eventually take advantage of the faster 802.11ac wireless standard.

Random IP Addresses stopping me use the internet

Not sure how best to explain this, as it is an intermittent problem.
I have a macbook pro that uses the internet fine, no problems. I have a small PC laptop that uses the internet fine, no problems. I have a Power PC dual 450Mhz attempting to use the internet, with intermittent problems. I have a 3rd party Realtek wireless card, that I appear to have to keep de-installing and re-installing the OS X Drivers for to get onto the internet. I have broadband through Sky, and an Airport Extreme Base Station. Internet appears to work temporarily through either AEBS or the Sky router (although more problems occur with self assigning the IP address with the Sky router than with the AEBS). When it works I have the following in TCP/IP-
IP Address: 192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.0.1
Occasionally this info remains the same, advises me I am on the internet, but am unable to open any web browsers. If I refresh the DHCP lease, it either comes up with the same info, or a newly assigned IP address of eg. 169.254.162.94 comes up, and I cannot connect to the internet, and each time I refresh the DHCP lease the same IP address comes up.
Does anyone know why this is happening, I seem to be able to go onto the internet for about 5 minutes before something crashes it.
It all works fine on my other computers, I have recently upgraded to 10.4.11 and have 896MB of RAM.
Any help appreciated, Ian

Okay, let's back-track a little and start removing variables.
"You have the AEBS shut down now, right?" Correct (However when this is turned on, my PC and Powerbook both connect to either wireless network without a problem)
"And the Sky router is up and broadcasting wireless, correct?" Correct
"Are you running a secure wireless network with WEP or WPA authentication?" Running WPA
"Is the G4 in close enough proximity to get good signal from the Sky router?"
It is through in a conservatory about 8 metres away, almost in a direct line from the router with a glass opening door in between. It has always previously worked fine when the router was upstairs and the G4 downstairs. I have also brought it in next to the router and tried wireless and it still has not worked. I have plugged the ethernet cable directly in and we do get internet.
Based on what you're describing, it sounds a lot like the G4 is getting spotty wireless connection and dropping the link. Have you tried just opening System Preferences/Network, making the wireless connection and just watching what happens there? (Yes, now, I have 2 setups, "Automatic" and "Desk" one for manual DHCP assignment and one for Auto using DHCP.
I have sat there, and with the manual IP addresses given installed, I get a green light and it states that it is connected to the internet, but when you try and open a browser it doesn't work. My Auto setup now just consistently defaults to a 192.254.xxx.xxx and now vv.v.v.v.v.v. randomly may it actually connect to a 192.168.xxx.xx IP address and get the browser working, then it will default back to a 254 setup.
When using DHCP routers, it's usually not a good idea to manually assign IP addresses on client machines unless that IP address is reserved in the DHCP server and tied to a particular machine record (MAC address). That said, there are some devices that will only work when they're assigned a reserved address in the DHCP server, and your Realtek card might be one of them. If you're comfortable working in the router DHCP configuration settings, you should be able to add the G4 to the address reservation list if the router can see it.
the above to be honest I would have no idea on how to set up so if you could talk me through it that would be great. I also do not know what the renew lease does and whether this is something I should click on each time.The ther part of the problem I have is I am unable to run a diagnostics check or assistant because I do not have airport running and the setup for the step by step guide isn't geared towards having a 3rd party PCI network wireless card?
Help would be greatly appreciated, because I do not know what to do and cannot afford to replace this machine currently.
Thanks Ian

ITunes update removes essential software from my computer, which means I can't use the Internet.

Two days ago, I updated iTunes to the latest version, but it appears that during the installation, vital software was removed from my computer. The result was that I couldn't access the Internet after the installation. I then did a system restore to get my computer back to how it was before I installed the new iTunes, with the result that the essential Internet file is back, but I can no longer open iTunes. I am getting the message that I need to change to the English version! I never selected any other version during the installation and in any case there was no such option. I simply pressed the "Download update" from within iTunes.
I have tried re-installing iTunes, but I keep getting the same result and have to keep reverting so that I can use the Internet. Has anyone come across this problem? How do I resolve it?

Okay than this definitely was not Apple. Apple support techs never have access to your mouse. It sounds like this company installed some software on your Mac. It is hard to tell what their intentions are but just assume in these situations that all your data was compromised. Possibly all your online accounts have been compromised such as social networks, banks, etc.. The smartest thing to do would be to change all of your passwords and reinstall OS X on your Mac. It sounds extreme but that's what happens when a 3rd party company gains control of your computer.

Why is my 8gb ram macbook is slow when using the internet compared to my old laptop?

i just purchased my macbook last week and i've noticed that using the internet has been quite bad at home. It seems to run pretty fast when using my schools wifi however it just doesn't make sense that my old laptop would still run faster than my new 8gb ram macbook. My internet plan is with telstra -50gb ADSL modem and it promises speeds up to 20 mbps and i'm only getting 4.11 mbps...

Hold down the option key and select the Wi-Fi menu in the menu bar. What values are shown for the following?
PHY Mode
Channel
Security
RSSI
Transmit Rate

My iPhone 5 won't use 3G when 4G isn't available. I live in the middle of nowhere, but with my iPhone 4 I could use the Internet on 3G just fine without needing wifi. Now I don't get anything unless I'm on wifi. My phone says '4G' but then says 'could not activate cellular data' or gives me the gray google failed because you dont have internet page. I have AT&T if that matters. I just want to get Internet and my email like I used to be able to. Slow 3G is fine with me, but I need it to work on my iPhone 5. Can anyone help me?

Oh ok, thank you! So I just got a bum SIM card when I bought this phone or something?

When i click on safari to use the internet it says "safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet", but i am connected to a wifi network so how do i get safari to work?

you may be connected to the wireless network but the question is the internet working properly on the wireless network...
what i mean is that i can make a wireless network without the internet so i can save and share files and have other devices connected to the same network access them... but you have to make sure that your internet it running properly... may have to reconfigure the router is your using PPPOE or if it was working prior to your post then try to restart your modem... that usually resolves most issues.

Firefox freezes when I try to open my emails and use the internet, what can I do?

Use Mozilla Firefox to see my emails and use the internet from about one week when I try to see my emails or use the internet it takes me to another wed site or gets freezes I am worry about because I don't know what's going up. This is the first time it happening to me. It says Firefox can not work properly it will close and I can lose some information, or click to star a new session but it never starts again it got freeze and I have to shut down the computer.

Use internet explorer as your default until this issue is resolved. Under Firefox, hotmail live will not load my email folders. No problem using internet explorer.

Why yahoo/gmail retrieval and facebook app so so slow when in WIFI. But using the internet to check for emails and facebook is fast using the same WIFI connection??

Why yahoo/gmail retrieval and facebook app so so slow when in WIFI. But using the internet to check for emails and facebook is fast using the same WIFI connection??

Hi SandyS_VZW,
Yes tried resetting the wifi connection and problem still persist.
Here it is...to make it clear. Connected thru the same wifi at home...
-> emails (yahoo/gmail) and facebook WEBSITES are working fine and fast when using/accessing thru a browser (chrome/samsung browser) - no problem with this.
-> emails (yahoo/gmail) and facebook APP is soooooo sloooww (thru the App). Slow I mean comparing it to using their browser/websites... news feeds/emails refreshing so quickly but not when using the APP installed in Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Slow like - It will take around 5-10minutes just to get your emails and news feed refreshed.
THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHEN CONNECTED THRU A WIFI which has a speed of 10-20mb. It is not happening when connected to the network data/plan.
My wife has the same Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (coming from different provider at&t) - same setup (emails, fb app), same wifi connection, but she's not experiencing anything like it.
Not sure why, I dont want to believe that while connected to a WIFI, Verizon is restricting anything and ******* me off to make me switch to my data plan connection everytime - which is Unfair!
Was there a known issue similar about this case?
thanks,

IPhone shuts off when I use the internet on the 3G network & I can't upgrade/restore because of network connection error. Any Help?

A few months ago, while on the 3G network, my iPhone 3GS starting turning off randomly when I was using safari or an online app and the battery was somewhere around 5-20%. When this happened the only way to get the phone back on was by fully charging it which sometimes took a few hours even. It wasn't a big deal at the time because it was infrequent and while the phone was at a low battery %. However, in the past few months, around the time I upgraded to iOS 5.1 it started happened more and more often and at higher and higher battery percentages. It is now at a point where my phone shuts off every time I connect to the 3G network regardless of what my battery life is. I have called Rogers several times to complain about this and I have been told it is because of the battery for the most part but I don’t buy it; the problem has got to be more significant than the battery alone because I can listen to music and send texts at anytime and fully use the internet when I am connected to Wi-Fi. I more recently talked to someone in tech support from Rogers who said my phone cannot support the iOS 5.1 software and that is why it is crashing. They also asked if my phone was heating up more now than in the past and it is. They said this was further evidence that my phone was couldn't handle the new software and was basically on overload. I was told to the best solution was to "Back Up" my iPhone then do a full "Restore". Here is where my next problem comes along. I cannot "Restore" my iPhone without doing an upgrade and every time I attempt to "Upgrade & Restore" an error message pops up that says "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone "...". The network connection timed out/was reset. -Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later". I have followed all of the protocol that is readily available online to address this problem but still no success. I disabled my firewall and anti-virus programs, I have ensured my connection is active and stable, I have upgraded to the newest iTunes, I have uninstalled iTunes and all apple programs in the correct order then reinstalled iTunes, I have disabled my DNS cache. Nothing works.
If you have any advise whatsoever please share as it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I was actually able to upgrade to the newest software, iOS 5.1.1 without connecting to my computer/iTunes but rather directly through my phone when I was home on Wi-Fi. After the upgrade I plugged my phone into a different USB port at the back of my computer and was able to do a full restore. I really don't think the USB port had anything to do with it because I use the same front USB port all the time with my external hard drive and other devices wuth no problems at all; regardless of what the actual solution was, I am now able to connect to iTunes and upgrade/restore without any problems so that half of my problem is resolved.
I have yet to leave my house since doing the upgrade/restore so I am not sure if the problem with my phone crashing when I use the interent on the 3G is still an issue. I will test it today and tomorrow and give you an update.
Thanks

I bought an unlocked 3G and when I try to use the internet, it says 'Could not activate mobile data network'.

Hi all,
I have recently acquired an iPhone 3G 16GB. It is unlocked and I have put my sim card in (Virgin Mobile) and used it without problem when calling or sending text messages. The internet all works fine when connected to a wi-fi network.
In the top left hand corner it says '3G', however if I try anything related to the internet (Safari, Twitter etc.) a message will appear reading 'Could not activate mobile data network'. This is very inconvenient for me. All internet related activities work fine when connected to a wi-fi network.
Is this a problem with all unlocked phones? Is there a solution to this? Or am I simply unable to use the internet without wi-fi on this model?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, all questions may sound silly, but this is my first iPhone and I am very inexperienced with them!
Thanks

First, you don't have a 3G if you have iOS 6.1.4. The 3G cannot go higher than iOS 4.2.1. That is not related to your problem, but worth knowing.
Let's try the obvious first. Tap the Settings icon. Then tap General. Then Cellular. Is Cellular Data on? Is there an entry for APN? If there is contact your carrier and ask what the APN settings should be. If there is no entry don't worry; the APN is automatic with your carrier.

Airtunes cutting in and out when using the internet.

Hi all,
I know this topic has been covered before and there is a support page for this problem on the apple website but I haven't been able to fix the problem using either hence the post so sorry for repetition.
As the title says my airtunes keeps cutting in and out, but it only seems to happen when I am actively using the internet. What I mean to say is that if the internet is connected and sitting there dormant it works fine, but as soon as a start to surf or download it cuts out, the higher the download/upload rate the longer the cut outs are until it stops all together.
My network contains the following,
2 Computers (1 iMac and 1 MacBook Pro)
1 Airport Express
The iMac is the host of the network, it also is the provider of the internet via a USB mobile broadband stick shared out via Airport (which cannot be connected directly into the Airport Express). Airport Express is used purely for Airtunes.
I could not change the channel setting to test for interference in Airport Utility as the iMac was the host. I tried changing the whole network channel on the iMac but the cut outs still occurred.
I use the MacBook Pro to send the audio from iTunes to Airport Express, distance would only be about 4 meters with no physical barriers such as stereo/cables/walls etc.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Jarrod.

Any idea's please?

How do you know when you are using the internet?

If I am using an app that requries internet, and I press the middle button to get out of it am I still using part of my data plan?

While you are using the app if you are not on WiFi you are using the internet. If the app is one of the few that can run in the background you need to close it to stop it from using your data plan. Double click the home (middle) button, hold down your finger on the app, when you see a red circle with a dashed white line next to the app icon tap it, press the home button.

When I'm on my schools wifi I get a next to slow connection but on pc it doesn't. No issues at home or anywhere else I have to login on my school is to use the internet
