Airport says i have a wifi connection, but i certainly dont

So ive had this macbook pro for about 2 weeks, and recently ive been going about my business on the web, when for whatever reason pages just stop loading, by that i mean the loading icon continues to say its loading, but nothing ever happens. My solution for the time being has been to turn off airport, wait a minute, then turn on airport. I would really prefer not to have to spend the rest of my days continually turning on and off airport every time i need to load a new web page. It would be much obliged if anyone have a solution for me.

Some details about your configuration may be useful...
Do you have the same problem (network dropping) if you use a
wired connection?
Where are you in relation to the router when the problem happens?
Are you sure it is a network issue and maybe not a DNS issue?
What DNS servers are you using?
Does it always work after you stop/start airport?
At about the time it started happening had you changed anything?

  • My airport says i have an internet connection but no web page opens!!help!

      I recently unplugged my imac and brought it to a friends to use. I used his wireless to surf the internet no problem. Now A few days later, I brought my computer back home and plugged everything in, I double clicked on safari and when it opened there was no website and I recieved the classic error "You are not connected to the internet."  But the funny thing is My wireless says im connected. My airport has full bars, i have full service, so i would think  websites would be working, BUT THERE NOT! I tried everything as well (Network diagnostics, Resetting safari, etc.) But nothing seems to work. Do you think its my Mac or maybe a problem that i need to address with my internet provider? Thank you to anyone in advance who helps...PLEASE HELP!    I have an MAC OS X  10.5.8..2.66GHz Intel core 2 duo  4 GB 1067 Mhz DDR3

    Airport may have 4 bars however all that indicates is you have a Wi-Fi signal it does not mean you have an Internet connection though. You may have an issue with your modem, easiest thing to do is power cycle your router and modem then retry.

    Turn your router completely off (unplug it) for a few seconds, then turn it back on again and see if you can connect.

  • I have a wifi connection but "safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet" I have reset everything; I have used Itunes to update and reset. Still no good. It worked until 2 days ago

    Reset everything.. did you do this?
    Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings
    If you're already been there, done that, could be a third party app preventing Safari from accessing the web.
    Re sync your apps 5 at a time, then test the iPad.

  • HT201493 I can't sign in to find my friends , it says I have no Internet connection but I do , the app used to work , help please

    I can't sign in to find my friends , it says I have no Internet connection but I do , the app used to work , help please

    when you say there is an Internet connection have you used safari?  Or does the phone just display a data connection (i.e. 3g/4g)?  You could try a couple of things if it is the latter 1. turn off cellular data than turn it back on.  2. turn on airplane mode and turn it back off.  I type these assuming you've tried resetting network connections.

    Hello there, Learning.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great, basic troubleshooting steps for issues with Wi-Fi on an iOS device:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    If the issue persists after performing the initial recommended steps, then try the following:
    Unable to access the Internet while connected to Wi-Fi
    If you're using a public or commercial network, you may need to log in or subscribe.
    Check to see if you have a self-assigned IP address:
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected and tap .
    If your IP address is 169.254.xxx.xxx, you may not be able to access the Internet.
    If you do not have a self-assigned IP address, see if other Wi-Fi devices on your network have Internet access.
    If they do not, consult with your network administrator or ISP for further assistance.
    If they do, reset network settings on your device by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
    previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    recently used Bluetooth accessories
    VPN and APN settings
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Iphone's itunes says it needs a wifi connection, but its connected.

    I have all the latest updates on my iphone. My iphone does not seem to be able to use my home network, despite the fact that it says it is connected... itunes says i needs a connection while wifi settings says it has one. any ideas?

    Hey samuel,
    What IP address shows up on the iPhone? Goto Settings>Wi-Fi> the blue (>)
    Also, try making the iPhone forget the network if have not already done so.
    If the issue persists goto Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings and attempt to connect again.

    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings.iTunes and App Store and sign out and sign back in

  • Im importing cds onto my itunes but they are coming up with no track names/artists etc, itunes is saying i have no internet connnection but im on my laptop and im online, can anyone help? ive never had this issues before? they are legit cds from HMV?

    Im trying to import cds i got for xmas onto my itunes and they arecoming up with no artist/album cover or track names, when i click get track info it says i have not internet connection, but im on my windows laptop and can get on the internet, is there something i need to so in itunes tmake it rcognise the album details?

    Hey there lollypops21,
    It sounds like you are connected to the internet otherwise, but iTunes is giving you this error message when trying to get info from the Gracenote database to retrieve your album info. I had a couple of articles I wanted to recommend you try. First this one named:
    iTunes for Windows can't access the Internet if proxy settings are incorrect
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1490
    You can always enter in the album information manually with this article if needed:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Edit song and CD information
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12360
    Customize song and CD info
    You can edit information in the Info window to make it easier to find and sort items in your library. For example, you can:
    Group individual movements on a classical CD into one work by indicating the name of the work (for example, “Piano concerto in A Minor, Op. 54”) in the Grouping field.
    Group songs that are part of a compilation together in your library by clicking the Info button and selecting the “Part of a compilation” checkbox.
    Identify the individual artists on a tribute album in the Artist field, and type “various” in the Album Artist field.
    Create your own genre category by clicking Info and typing the category in the Genre field.
    Change the order in which tracks on a CD play by changing the numbers in the Track Number fields.
    Create a Smart Playlist that includes only songs that are just the right speed for your workout by typing the number of beats per minute in the BPM field. For instructions, see Create a Smart Playlist.
    Identify a movie as a music video (click the Options button, and choose Music Video from the Media Kind pop-up menu).
    Identify an item that you imported from a CD as an audiobook, so it appears under Audiobooks instead of Music (click the Options button and choose Audiobook from the Media Kind pop-up menu). If you do this, iTunes also remembers your place in the audiobook.
    Enter custom sorting criteria for an item. Select the item, choose File > Get Info, click Sorting, and enter the custom text.
    iTunes retrieves CD information from the Gracenote media database. For more information, visit the Gracenote website.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling
