Hi everyone, I need your kind help and knowledge.
I have a 2006 iMac 22", very happy with it. I am facing suddenly a wierd problem.
The computer does not let me navigate the internet....I mean, I click on a specific page which I saved into my desktop as a shortcut, it opens it, but when I try to go anywhere it gets stuck and does not allow me to go. It tells me I have no internet connection. I run the Diagnostic program, and it indeed tells me i have an internet connection, but it does not recognize the address I typed, even if it is as simple as google.com. NO INTERNET.
Think is wierd enough....wait......I can use Skype with no problems, both in its messenger version as in its video conferencing mode. I can talk for hours at end using the camera. Doesn't Skype runs trough internet? It does...so how come me browser goes nowhere?
I run Safari, older version, if you think the details hold the clue...ask me and I'll tell you as best I can what I have in my computer. But to be honestly clear, it worked fine as it is for years, the last two weeks, it gave me a wierd beginning problem, it allowed me to open a page, but I needed to turn off and then on my AirPort in order to have Safari execute the request....every time i wanted to move or do something, it needed to be turned off and on (airport I mean). Now, it does not even open it.
I repeat I can use Skype at will....I run diagnostics and it sees an internet connection.......but no internet. If I ask for a page...it tells me there is no internet. Go figure??????
Anyone with a logical explanation or already suffered something similar?????
PLEASE HELP!!!
Some one told me it could be that my Logic Board is failing.
What is your educated input guys?
Thank you for all of your help........
