Re: MacBook Pro with Wifi signal but no Internet

[petercrisp]

Hi Ronni, thanks for that one. I had omitted to mention in my list of
things that I had tried that I saw an online tip to try this one. So I
did already try it and sadly it didn't resolve the issue. It does seem
after some of these tests that it pauses momentarily (I am using
Safari and select Google web page to put to the test) before getting
the "no internet connection:" message.  
Will have a calm look at it again tonight, sometimes I feel that in
trying some of these items, it is the order in which they are tried
seems to make a difference, although i am unclear on which order is
the right order, the order from my side seems to be random.
Regards
Pete.

 Hi Peter,

 On Your wife’s MBP try:
 Edit her Locations in Network Preferences. 
 In Edit Locations, from the drop-down click the “+” to create a
new Location, name it “Automatic” (any name will do)...
 The new location will setup new a new default WiFi (and Ethernet and
FireWire) and hopefully will connect to the Internet immediately.

 Kind Regards,
 Ronni

I did the usual settings review and then did a reboot. This resolved
the sound issue. I can’t recall if this coincided with the update of
the OSX too but the sound is fixed. But we have no Internet service
now. Things I have done here:

Re: All personal Favourite mailboxes greyed out

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Allan,

Sounds like a mess has been made of the transfer of all your data over to this 
new iMac. Best to get someone in to look at it so as to not make it worse.  
This mess can’t be fixed via email.

Kind Regards,
Ronni

 When you ‘Add a mailbox’ to the The ‘Favourites Bar’ by dragging the 
 mailbox from the Mail Sidebar, Mail doesn’t actually move the mailbox; it 
 adds an alias for it to the Favourites bar.
 You could have lost your link to the server.
 Check the Mailboxes you dragged to the Favourites Bar from the Sidebar are 
 NOT Disabled?
 Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts tab - check they are all online.
 
 If all accounts are online & you still have the Favourites mailboxes 
 greyed out.
 Drag the greyed out mailboxes out of the bar and they will disappear, then 
 drag new ones from the sidebar to replace them.

 The V5 folder is used by High Sierra.
 Before doing anything, make sure you have a current backup.
 1. Quit Mail and move the V5 folder to the trash, but don't delete it. 
 2. Open Mail and verify everything still works OK and all your messages 
 are there. 
 Once confident everything is OK, you can empty the trash.

Re: WAMUG Meeting Reminder: Tomorrow, Tuesday 4 June 2019

[Stephen Chape]

Thank you Pete.
It always surprises me that the Winter Solstice (middle of winter) is 21 June.
Yet we are told that 1 June is the start of winter.

So winter lasts 6 weeks ?

MacBook Pro with Wifi signal but no Internet

[Peter Crisp]

Hi folks, I have had the issue as noted in the subject line before many many 
times and I have been able to resolve albeit with many different methods. 

My wife’s MBP 2011 has developed this problem, not surprisingly coincident with 
the OSX update to 10.14.5. 

It all started when Jo said she had no sound from the MBA speakers. I did the 
usual settings review and then did a reboot. This resolved the sound issue. I 
can’t recall if this coincided with the update of the OSX too but the sound is 
fixed. But we have no Internet service now. Things I have done here:

PRAM reset
SMC Reset
Reboot
PRAM reset
SMC Reset
Network reset 
Forget Wifi connection and re-establish
Clear DNS settings, Try the Google 8.8.8.8, try others, back to 10.1.1.1
Renew DHCP licence
Try to connect via a iPhone hotspot (which is accessing internet fine)

Is this a 10.14.5 issue? I can’t get to the internet with this MBP to do 
anything about it. 

Any clues folks?


Regards
