Hi. I’m having a problem similar to the one posted here:
http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/internet-networking-wireless/121412-help-airport-all-ok-except-failed-internet-failed-server.html
That post is from 2008 and no one provided a solution.
However, I’m hoping someone might be able to help me. Here is my situation:
I have an IMac, purchased in 2007. I also have an Airport Extreme base station that is connected to a cable modem. I have the IMac connected to the Internet via wifi from the Airport Extreme.
This week, I upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite — both my internal drive and an external drive.
When I run Yosemite from my internal drive, I get errors saying I’m not connected to the Internet for most apps, including Apple’s apps: Mail, iTunes, Calendar, App Store etc. I am successfully able to connect to the Internet with a few third-party apps: Google Chrome and Skype. But most third-party apps aren’t able to connect, including Dropbox, Firefox and Opera.
When I run Yosemite from my external drive, I don’t have problems with any apps. I am able to access the Internet just fine.
When I run Airport Utility when my internal drive is the startup disk, my Airport Extreme base station doesn’t show up. Also, near the globe at the top, the little dot indicating whether I’m connected to the Internet is orange.
When I run Airport Utility when my external drive is the startup disk, my Airport Extreme is recognized and Airport Utility shows green dots indicating I’m connected to the Internet.
I also have a 4th generation IPod Touch. It’s able to access the Internet via wifi just fine; so it's able to recognize the wifi network from the Airport Extreme.
When I run Yosemite from my internal drive and I run Network Diagnostics (part of Network Preferences), Network Status shows red dots for Internet and Server. Those dots are green when I run Yosemite from my external drive.
So I don’t understand why Yosemite is working fine with Airport Extreme when I’m booted from my external drive, but it’s not finding the Airport Extreme when booted from my internal drive. I'm running the same version of Mac OS (Yosemite) on both drives and both drives are trying to access the same router.
I did try restarting my cable modem and the router with no luck.
Any ideas what I can to troubleshoot the problem?
Thanks.
