IS THERE ANYONE LEGITIMATE THAT KNOWS WHY I CAN CONNECT TO INTERNET WITH A IBOOK G3 AND NOT OPEN WEB PAGES? ONLY HAPPENS WITH MY LANDLORDS ROUTER THAT HE HAS PROVIDED THE PASSOWRD FOR. ONLY WAY I CAN CONNECT TO HIS SERVICE IS IF HE HAS FIREWALL DOWN. WE

PLEASE ONLY RESPOND IF YOU KNOW HOW TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I'M CONNECTED TO MY LANDLORDS INTERNET VIA AN EXT NETGEAR ROUTER, PASSWORD PROTECTED, THAT HE HAS PROVIDED WITH A G3 IBOOK. FULL SINGAL, CAN'T OPEN WEB PAGES. HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.

That's because your landlord probably is using WPA2 encryption or 802.11g or 802.11n wireless. The iBook G3 lacks support for WPA2 encryption, which is much stronger than WEP and the original WPA.   It also only has support for 802.11b.     If you want to join a newer router with a secure firewall, get an 802.11g or better wireless ethernet bridge.
P.S. Please avoid from using all UPPERCASE.     It is hard to read, and in internet etiquette it means you are attempting to shout and be rude. I'm sure that was not your intent. So please avoid from doing that again. Thank you.
P.P.S. 10.7.1 can't run on an iBook.   Are you sure you have an iBook and 10.7.1 is on it? If it doesn't say iBook on your screen frame, or Apple menu -> About This Mac doesn't say Mac OS X 10.7.1, it is not 10.7.1, or an iBook.    MacBooks, which replaced iBooks in 2006, and later came out with Core2Duo and Core i processors, are the only Apple notebooks that can run 10.7.1.

How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something if i use firefo

How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something when I use mozila firefox?
Windows Computer

1) If you are talking about the file names on the computer, there is a
setting to turn off known file types. Open your file browser. Then
just under the location bar, press '''Tools,''' then '''Folder Options.'''
A new window will open. Select '''View.''' Look for
'''Hide Extensions For Known File Types.'''
2) Never NEVER '''NEVER''' download anything unless you know what
it is. If a web site claims it needs to download something, what is it?
It could be something like the flash player, '''or a virus ! !'''
Ask questions, or go somewhere else.

Safari 4.0.2 so slow that says you are not connected to internet, & no JAVA

1)with the new version of safari 4.0.2, and the "loading" imageit is very slow, so slow that then I press any link it says you are not connected to internet. , then I reload again and it loads for the first time the page after a long time.
this happens so often.
... but guess what, I open the connection using another browser and I can see the same pages without problem.
this version is so low, even when I press to any link... why the loading of pages like apple.com takes too long?
2)now with this version I can not see applications that runs on java. before it i could , but now it does not display , and the sun page says that for mac one has to check the apple updates, but there is no apple updates until now to complement the java problem.

This could ( no, will happen if your dsl modem/router is set to give up it's connection when the mac is idle.
Many dsl modems ( in the UK, at least ) do NOT default to 'always on'.... & a setting must be changed to enable this. Even with 'always on', you will get a similar problem occasionally, but the delay will be just a few seconds.... not 30+.
Some modems can be accessed by entering 192.168.1.1 into safari - check the instructions for yours.
Also some(!) isp's don't allow always on & force a disconnection when idle. Mine does - but you can opt-out of it via their website.
I bet if you mention the make/model of your dsl gear, somebody here can tell you exactly where to find these settings.

Suddently can't browse internet... "You are not connected to Internet"

It has been now 2 months that I have an issue with internet with my Macbook Pro.
I am connected to Internet and browsing internet, however suddenly and without any reason Safari/Firefox give me a message you are not connected to internet. However, MSN or YM are still working fine
It happened to me with both Airport and Ethernet connection but only with my specific provider (but only in my macbook pro, not in my pc or iphone)
When the problem occurs, I run a network diagnostic and found the following
- Pinging an address that need DNS won't work (ping www.facebook.com ==> error: host unknown)
- DNS lookup however working: lookup www.facebook.com ==> 66.220.145.10
- Pinging 66.220.145.10 is working
- any traceroute on IP numeric address is working, however when it need DNS it is not working (traceroute www.facebook.com: unknown host)
The workaround I found is to disable and enable again the interface to make it working...
Did someone have experience the issue?
Regards, Bernard

Me too. What a pain!

I heard back from Nike+ support and they said that there will be newer pics soon and it also appears that this corrected itself for my runs, but not the user pic, I only get girly options, I wouldn't mind a picture of a guy on 'ROIDS!!! Just kidding, but something less feminine or cartoon like, I'm trying to be serious about this and the site should reflect that.

Why are some films available for download in the USA and not the UK or vice versa? For example the film 'Back to the Secret Garden' is available for download in the US and not the UK.
