Wifi is connected to internet but takes a long time to work?

When i open my computer and connect to any kind of wifi it does it fine. But when i go to safari or firefox it claims it has no connection. I test the connect through network diagnostics and its all working just fine. Still no internet. After a couple of minutes pass and restarting the programs multiple times it works great no issues. But once i put it to sleep or connect to a new wifi same thing.It was working fine up until i did a recent firmware update? Wondering if thats the problem.... Its a brand new macbook running lion.. Any help would be great! Kinda irretating to wait for your internet for awhile.

I am also having the same exact issue. I thought my MBP was having issues and was about to bring it to Geeksquad to have them check it out. It takes me a full 2 minutes to connect. Its also having issues waking up from sleep (takes longer than before) and when the screen dims, it takes much longer to get bright once I interect with the MBP.

Time Machine/Time Capsule backups successful, but take a long time

I purchased a 512GB Time Capsule about a year ago. Since I got it, backups have been successful, but very slow. An average backup takes about 40-50 minutes, usually for less than 20 MB transferred.
Here are a couple summaries of recent backups (see end of post for full logs):
BACKUP 1:
11 minutes to detect if pre-backup thinning was necessary
18 minutes to copy 281 MB
5 minutes to copy 5.4 MB
4 minutes to start post-backup thinning
2 minutes to delete 1 expired backup
There were no error messages.
BACKUP 2:
4 minutes to detect if pre-backup thinning was necessary
12 minutes to copy 15 MB
5 minutes to detect if pre-backup thinning was necessary
15 minutes to copy 3.8 MB
1 minutes to start post-backup thinning
2 minutes to delete 1 expired backup
This time, there were error messages about "Unable to rebuild path cache for source item. Partial source path:"
My Time Capsule is placed about 5 feet from my laptop, with no obstructions between them. I don't think it's a wireless speed issue, because I use the Time Capsule as my router, and my connection to the net is fine. Also, operations that don't require wireless connections, like detecting pre-backup thinning, also take a long time.
Does anyone have any idea what might be going wrong to cause my regular backups to take so long?

One other thing thing you might try, is a +*Verify Disk+* (not permissions) on your internal HD. That will not take anything like 40 hours! If it reports problems, you'll have to boot from your Install disc and use it's copy of DU to repair it. Post back if you need to do this but aren't sure how.
I think it's very fishy that Repair Disk took 40 hours -- it seems like any operation that touches the hard drive on the Time Capsule takes a long time. Maybe the hard drive is having problems? What sort of problems could a drive have that would make everything VERY slow, but still successful?
Try connecting via an Ethernet cable; see what effect that has. Everything should be faster, of course, but not wildly. Just as an example, I'm doing backups to a USB hard drive via my Airport Extreme, about 15 feet from my iMac. When I first started that way, I did a full backup via Ethernet (about 21 gb/hour), then erased it and ran again wirelessly (about 12 gb/hour).
Even 5 feet apart, you may have some sort of interference or other communications problem; if Ethernet is many times faster, then you may need to have your TC and/or wireless card examined.

I have a ipad 1. I seem to be having a lot of connectivity issues. It takes a long time to load and sometimes will not load a page at all. I seem to be having issues with streaming in that it will play a song and just stop.

Retreive External data from SQL making connection to SQL server take a long time

I have an Excel pivottable based on a view from SQL server. The view gets data from 2 databases on the sames server. I have the sames login for both databases and also the same rights (datareader, datawriter and owner). When running the view from within
the SQL Server management tool it goes quick. In Excel once the connection is made everything goes fast. Only making the connection takes a very long time. When I use a view with data from a single database then everything is fine and goes fast.
Example of the situation: I use the example view below in an excel pivot. This gives as result that the connection takes very long.
SQLServer A
View CustomerInfo which contains the following query.
Select * FROM databaseA.dbo.Customers as Customers
CROSS APPLY
SELECT *
FROM databaseB.dbo.Contacts as Contacts
Where Customers.Number = Contacts.CustomerNumber
) AS Contactdata
When I remove the CROSS APPLY part, the connection is made directly
We login to SQL with normal logon (not windows security) The user has the same rights on both databases.
I hope the problem is clear. Does anyone have an idea of how I can solve this problem?

-1* ( prior dataid ) = parentid
is it multiplying -1 times the prior dataid ?that's exactly what it's doing
you need:
prior dataid = ABS(parentid);
not knowing you're data, and therefore assuming that dataid is always positive (since it doesn't have an ABS), and that parentid can be positive or negative, your criteria becomes
parentid = prior dataid (handles both are positive)
or parentid = negative of prior dataid (handles parentid is neg, dataid is pos)
since the "prior" must be right next to the column (dataid), I put parens around the whole thing, and then mult by -1

Mac Mini very slow at 4 gig memory, upgrade to 16 still slows down but takes a longer time

I bought a Mac mini a year ago. With an i7 and i terabyte and it cam with only 4 gig of ram. It worked fine for a while and i installed some apps then it started to get very slow. seeing the colorful "hourglass " turn round and round quite a few times. Then i went to the activity monitor where it told me that the memory used was about 3.89 gigs. I purchased a memory cleaner app from thr app store which helped a bit.
Today i upgraded to 16 gig memory and bang my computer ripped. The activity manager said i was using 6 gigs of ram and had 9.8 remaining.
after being on the internet for a couple of hours and using Firefox with about ten tabs open the computer started to get very slow again.
I checked the activity manager and it read 6 gigs used and the cash read a whopping 9 gigs. Did not think i would need the memory cleaner any more but after doing a clean it worked better.
Why did i get a whopping 9 gigs in the cash ? which is what it read after my computer slowed down again.

You may want to post in the Mac Mini forum, this is the iMac forum. If you would like me to I will ask the moderator to move the thread.

HD noisy (grinding away); internet pages take a long time to load, is there a "defrag" operation with macs?

is my hard drive dying? everything takes forever to load, sometimes letters don't show up as i am typing. My computer is about 5 years old. Help.

Go to your Home folder (the one with your name) > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility, select your HD and run Verify Disk. See what it says. If the disk needs repair, you can restart and hold down cmd-R as soon as the grey screen appears on restart. This will take you into Mac OS X Utilities and allow you to repair your startup disk.
Also, if you don't have everything backed up, back it up NOW.
If all seems okay with the hard drive, download Onyx (free) and use to it clear all of your system caches, indexes, etc. This will speed up your computer pretty significantly, especially if you've never done that.

T410i : sysprep /generalize take too long time. Works fine w/o video driver installed

I use to follow the same framework to build a WIM image file for years now. (T60, X61, T400, X201, all work fine)
Windows 7 32bit Enterprise Edition.
Now I got a new T410i and want to build the corporate image on it.
After installing all apps, I use to run a sysprep /audit /generalize /shutdown /unattend:My_capture.xml.
Usually, sysprep runs for a couple of minutes and gracefully shutdown the computer. Ready for capture with winPE.
With the T410, the sysprep phase turn the screen to black after a few minutes. The laptop show disk activity, and the display stays black for hours. If I power off, the resulting image is corrupted. Panther\Setupact.log shows the computer was busy enumerating PnP drivers while I press the power off.
After a few trial-on error, I found a workaround.
In the preparation of the the master image, I run Thinkvantage System Update to install all relevant applets and drivers.
I run the System Update in 3 phases :
- first the power manager and power drivers (otherwise I get an error on the Visual C++ redistributable), then reboot
- second the rest of important drivers and applets EXCEPT THE DISPLAY ADAPTER, the reboot
- third Access Connection, reboot.
The real workaround is to skip the installation of the display adapter driver NVDIA NVS 3100M Optimus] 8.17.12.5738/8.15.10.2202
By the way, there are other annoyance :
- sysprep process prompts to disable the Lenovo Toolbox from the task bar
- sysprep process wants to uninstall the modem applets and drivers (I cancel the two options)
Are there other persons facing this kind of behavior ?
Stefan

I had the exact same symptoms running sysprep on a T410. Searched and came accross this post with the fix.

Hi arunarun,
What site are you visiting for the photo editor?

My wifi bar isnt showing up at the top and i cant connect to internet but its not my router

my wifi bar isnt showing up at the top and i cant connect to internet but its not my router? HELP HOW DO i get wifi back

I recommend that you start with taking a look at the Apple Support article to help you troubleshoot what the issue may be.
If that still doesn't resolve the issue, we will need to get the AirPort icon back on the OS X menu bar to continue. Please try the following:
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Show Wi-Fi status in menu bar (checked)

Only Chrome can connect to internet, but the rest cannot. I have wifi or lan connect to router.

Only Chrome can connect to internet, but the rest cannot. I have wifi or lan connect to router.
All my connection to the internet had been stopped after I setup my new bought imac, and transferred data from my previous mac book.
The connect test showed I have no connection to the internet. But the interest is, I can connect to internet with Google Chrome, but in a quite slow connection speed.
Check several times with the router and switches, DNS, wifi, lan settings etc.
Give up after hours of trying.

At the same time, another mac book using the same router can connect to the internet. Even my iphone can also using wifi to connect to the internet.
Chrome in the imac can, but Safari and the internet test cannot.

Takes a long time to connect to the internet when I first open an app

I bought my Macbook Pro Retina 13inch last weekend and I love it! Everything was working fine but over the last couple of days, when I first open an app, for example Safari, Google Chrome, iTunes, App Store, anything that requires an internet connection, it takes a long time to load up that first time, but after the first page has been loaded it works again fine until closing the app and re-opening it. When loading the App Store or iTunes it has even said an internet connection is required, even though my connection is fine and the other apps are still loading ok.
I first thought it was my WIFI connection but I have checked my router and everything seems fine, also my iPad and iPhone are still working fine with the internet.
Has anyone else had the same problem or can offer me a solution?

I am getting the same issue, on first starting safari the first page takes an age to load.. once it has everything is fine.
I have tried the 'Reset Safari' function but no difference. This only happens on my Macbook Pro Retina, Using safari on my iphone or ipad is fine. (I connect via ethernet too so its not a wifi problem.)
Any one got an answer to this yet?

HT1222 Can not do this update. Says I am not connected to Internet but I am.

Can not get security update. Keeps saying I am not connected to Internet but I am

Check your router settings and see if you have Wireless QoS (WMM) enabled? If so, diable it. This fixed my problems, and had the benefit of speeding up my wifi in the process.

I cannot update ios as it says itunes cannot connect to internet, but it is

Hi everybody, please help me. I've been trying to update my ipad for ages. When i click update it says itunes cannot connect to internet, but it is and it works for iphone and ipod, it's just the ipad. tried with security settings as well, but it doesn't work. did the connectivity test and it says itunes cannot connect to internet...it is connected

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

Hi, original poster here. I did not realize this would generate more discussion so I never checked back. I still had my warranty, so I took it to the store and got it repaired. The original problem I had was a screen with this icon flashing when I attempted to boot it up:
When I took it to the store, they told me that my computer was unable to communicate with the hard drive. I had this same problem three times in two months where this screen reappeared. Each time I went back to the store and they said the cause was different, but they were all hardware issues that physically made it impossible to communicate with the hard drive. After the third time, they simply replaced my laptop and I haven't had the same problem.
So in short: The reason you can't reinstall or move anything when you encounter this screen appears to be because nothing can communicate with the hard drive in the first place. You can't reach the disk or anything on it. So I don't believe it's possible to do anything besides take it to a physical store and have it fixed.
