Why do I have to reboot my internet SO much?!

All right. I have no idea where to post this, so i figure since I've suspected this could link to a hardware issue to my PC, I feel it's proper to maybe bring it here because of that.
I keep my PC on 24/7, which may be unhealthy for the machine, may not be. I'm finding it frustrating every growing minute it happens when I can't load certain pages via internet. It forces me to have to reboot my whole PC sometimes for it to get connectivity. Sometimes, i've had to reboot my own DSL Modem so I could get internet connectivity.
I always know when I have to, when I get "Server Not Found" errors on sites like Google or that Thunderbird won't connect to the IMAP servers for my mail or that Steam cannot load it's store page, bringing back 503 Errors. That's when I have to reboot my DSL Modem, as well when I can't get to certain other pages.
I'll also know when the little internet icon shows the little caution triangle on it, that's when I have to reboot the whole machine to get internet back.
So, I'm thinking something is about to fail or is on the verge of failing. I highly suspect the onboard ethernet port, because I really doubt this could be a faulty cable. Otherwise, it wouldn't let me on.
Any ideas.

The problem could be your DSL service. The farther away you get from the central office, the weaker the signal becomes. Because of this, I have linked the table. I had DSL, and hopefully will never go back. About that "constant on", I have 2 systems doing 24/7. One had to be replaced after 7 years. During those 7 years, I had a power surge (thru supressor) that took out the 350W PSU, and a TV tuner card.

Razmee, many thanks for your correct advice. You are a STAR. So nice now to be able to get the Internet all the time. Great advice.

Why do I have to reboot to connect to airport

Why do I have to reboot my computer to connect to my remote speakers. I have used this for a year. Run my home through I-tunes, it has worked great. Now, itunes wont connect to remote speakers. I lost my connection with internet with Shaw. When they turned it back on. This is what has happened. Been checking ip addresses, etc, all seems good. The only thing that works is rebooting. Any ideas? My intenet is connected to time capsule. I can connect to remote speakers with my laptop, just not my desktop.

I totally agree. The fact that other applications use webkit is not a reason for a system reboot.. those applications, if they are open at the time of the update.. can merely be quit during.. then restarted after the webkit update. The only user interaction.. and interruption... would be the click of a button.. and a chat.. browser.. mail restart. That is entirely different than having the system reboot.. which requires that you drop everything.
Perhaps.. since this obviously isn't a browser update.. Apple can just call it what it is.. an OS security update.... Since webkit is down deep in the OS enough to require a reboot.
For those of you that don't think this is a big deal.. out of principle, it seems odd to revert to Win 95-like behavior. Apple chose to do it this way.. they weren't forced to.
Maybe they wanted to make Window's switchers feel more at home
Kernel and firmware updates should be the only things requiring a system reboot. Everything else (iTunes, iPhoto,Safari) and be done through plain file replacement service restarts.

I've been having similar issues although mine seem to happen when I import my own movies into Apple TV. After adding new items to my iTunes library and then switching my entertainment configuration to Apple TV, I get nothing but total blackness and my TV says it has no HDMI signal. Once I unplug and repower the Apple TV, everything works fine.

Why do i have to reboot

What a ****...
Safari is my browser and i like it, very polish an efficient.
But Safari 4 became really annoying. Why do i have to reboot my computer to update it !
It's a big regression in a user perspective... It recall me the old days with Windows when any update ask to restart... Grr...
I understand that webkit is a framwork used by other software, OK. But in 2009, can you just check is any softwre use it, instead of restarting the computer.
It's a big waste of time.
I notice that since 10.5, i have to reboot often to update things... I remember 10.3 were without problem updates were silent and do not reboot my computer (except OS updates).
A friend of my told me he seriously thought to switch to Firefox (that require not reboot to update). I'm not in that mood and it will not solve webkit updates for other uses.
But please Apple, stop reboot my computer for updates, please.

Why do I have to reboot my computer in order to install the most recent version of adobe reader??
After installing the most recent version of adobe reader, a prompt popped up, asking me to reboot my computer to complete installation. Why is it asking me to do this? Is it safe? And (if so,) how should I go about doing this??

I don't know why - I never had to restart my computer after installing any Adobe updates.

Why do I have to reboot my Mac Desktop several times a day in order for the Safari not to crash?

Safari crashes for me all the time. Only way to get it going again is to reboot the computer. Any suggestions on what I can do?

Do you have any extensions? If so, see if it crashes if you turn extensions off.
You shouldn't have to reboot. Just use Force Quit to kill Safari.

Iphone6plus Why do I have to reboot everyday to access the internet? No I do not have the 128g phone, nor is it loaded with apps.

Every day lately, I have had to shut down the phone and then restart to get access to any internet use, no safari, no internet apps work unless I reboot. Just get a spinning wheel.
Do not have the 128g phone, nor is mine loaded with tons of apps.
Please advise. Thank you.

Why do I have to reboot my iPhone 6 every hour to have internet and mail service???

Every hour or two I have to power off my 6 then power on in order to have internet and mail service. Is anyone else having this problem?

I'm having the same exact issue. I have the same phone/OS. Just switched from AT&T to Verizon so I wasn't sure whether it was my service or the phone. The same connectivity issues are happening to me with things like My Fitness Pal or Facebook notifications. Fitness app won't load or connect and for Facebook, I'll get a notice that I have one, I go to FB and it won't load the notifications or even load new stories on there for that matter. So AGAIN, I have to restart and POOF! I can use FB, Fitness App, etc AND I have 20 emails all of a sudden. So frustrating!

Why do I have to reboot my Apple TV2 to watch rented movies?

When I rent a movie from iTunes on my ATV2, I do not get the option to watch it, it just offers the option to rent the film again.
When I reboot the ATV2, the 'play' option appears, but I don't really want to do this each time.
Has anyone else had similar?

The Apple TV may be getting confused by connection issues, this may be HDMI, but may be more likely to be a network issue, have you tried another wifi channel to try to eliminate interference.

So in other words, it's quite normal for Mac to go nuts a little when watching YouTube Flicks, cause the flash coded on Mac differentiates from other operating systems hence the reason why there's a higher CPU?
Sure, but it shouldn't really "go nuts." When the original poster gets 76% CPU and I get 85% when watching a Flash video, that still means watching videos uses less than half the total CPU power of a dual core. Video in and of itself should not cause fans to start up, as my fans hardly every go on. When fans come on due to CPU load alone, it usually means a dual core is operating at close to 200% CPU load.
If the fans are coming on, it means other factors may be contributing to the heat. Maybe other processes are adding to the CPU load. Maybe the ambient room temperature is high, which is common in the summer or in the south. Maybe there is insufficient ventilation to the case. Maybe SMC Fan Control is set to make the fans start at a lower threshold; I have not modified my fan behavior and don't even monitor it.

I updated to ios 8.3 yesterday. Since then, i have no connection to internet. My iphone 6 shows "no service". Why?

I have updated to IOS 8.3 yesterday. Since then, I have problem connecting to internet. My Iphone 6 is showing "no service" for coverage status. Why?

I have the same problem too now. I can connect to my wifi at home just fine but as soon as I switch it off and leave the house, none of my apps load (facebook, youtube, etc). I have reset my network settings, rebooted my phone several times, turned airplane mode on and off, turned airplane mode on and off and then did a restart. Still nothing. I also wasn't receiving any text messages but could still facetime, and send a different text message that's considered a "message" and not a text.
