I can get on the internet with my laptop using my wireless network at home but I can not get on the internet using my ipad. The wi-fi setting show a connection on my ipad but I can not pull up the internet. Any ideas?
My laptop connects to the internet via my wireless network at home. My ipad will not bring up the internet using the same connection. It shows in the wi-fi settings as connected but when I bring up safari, nothing comes up. Any ideas?

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

I have a Linksys WRT54GS wireless router. We have (1)PC hardwired to the router with (1) laptop PC & (1) iBook G4 connected wirelessly. All was working fine.
Wife opens iBook in the morning and it won't connect to the internet. Airport bars are full and says it's connected to my network, but that we are not connected to the internet. It won't even connect if it's hardwired directly to the router. I've tried reconfiguring, resetting, etc. and nothing works. But the PC's are working fine.
I admit that this is my first iBook so be gentle with the comments and my limited knowledge.
Thank you in advanced for the help!
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)same problem - the ibook was connected and doing just fine wirelessly to the actiontec router - had been for months - then I accepted the recent updates (using the wireless connection which was working flawlessly) and immediately upon rebooting afterwards - bam - no more wireless connection.
airport shows 5 bars strong connection and name of network is still checked in the list - but nothing will actually connect.
the pcs in the house are still connecting just fine wirelessly so the problem is not the router.
the ibook will connect using ethernet cord (that is how I am typing this now) but cannot get a wireless connection going.
somebody - PLEASE - what is the secret to fixing this? -
I have full bars but i can't connect to the internet. I've done all the usuall thing like reset the ipad reset my internet security but everytime it says "safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet" Any ideas?
As with previous posts this is usually a DHCP issue and occurs frequently especially with routers connected to Cable Modems or those Micro-Cell towers.
Unplug all Routers, AirPorts (or other off brand Wi-Fi broadcast units) and any other Wireless broadcast unit that might provide you with a WDS (often other AirPorts feeding off the signal of the AirPort closest to Cable/DSL Modem) and best to totally power down the Unit affected; lastly either hold a reset button on Cable/DSL modem for 30-45 seconds or actually power it down if an option (not suppose to power down Cable Modems that have Telephony for some odd never completely explained to me reason).
Let Cable/DSL Modem re-boot till 'all green lights'. Then power up each device involved in order from closest to farthest waiting each time for completion of initiation. Micro-cell towers can take 10 minutes to completely re-boot and you must wait for across the board green lights in my experience. Even WDS can add a few minutes till all green on mother AirPort unit.
Only NOW may you re-start the offending device and see if it will connect. Works about 99% of the time! -

I have a wireless network at home. I run my iphone and ipad on it with no problems. Just purchased a MacBook Pro, and now my wi-fi keeps disconnecting and i get an error message saying another device is using the same IP address. What does all this mean?

When I take my phone off charge in the morning I get an info box on the front which has the sound trumpet icon with a line through it and the word Mute. The only way to get rid of it is to reboot the phone any ideas as to how I can stop this happening?
Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
This happens the same whenever I try to install.
To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
My plugin is still showing as out of date.
Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time. -
I am trying to renew and download my WSJ apple. The iPad tells me I must sync to my computer...I do not have a computer..Any ideas?
Update your software. The WSJ app has been updated and requires 4.2 at least. Your signature says you are running 4.1.
And you do NOT have to have a computer to buy apps. I only synch in order to backup once in a while. But you DO need one to update your iPad software. So either find a friend or wait until IOS5 for the OTA updates. I don't know if the Apple store can help you or not. Someone else might know if they would update your software for you. -
I have factory restored my 1pad 3 loaded ios8 - wifi works, safari works but it won't connect to the app store or iTunes citing 'not connected to internet' any ideas?
Reset the iPad and try again. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Let go of the buttons, let the iPad start up.

I have seen this before, a long time ago (several years), and I cannot
remember how/if we resolved it.
If this is an impotant issue to you, I suggest that you open a case with
BEA support.

Peter.

I see other posts getting replies.
This is a rather important issue, I have seen another post with a similar problem.
While not being a show-stopper it certainly raises concerns.
The application works ok until the application exits (in both development and
executable form)
Apparently this did not happen with Tux 7.1
It does with 8, I do not have 7.1 so I have no workaround.

I want to change my primary email on Apple ID but it says I can't use email already in use but its not my alternative email - it may have been in the past - any ideas?
I don't believe Apple lets you delete old accounts. They also will not let you merge them.

The error that I am getting is this "Time Machine can't use the disk image because it can't be written to." Any ideas on the fix for this? When I go to the Time Capsule my Macbook Pro shows that it is locked, I think I did something wrong, but can't figure how to unlock it to see if that fixes it.
As far as we know, Time Machine cannot write to a disk image. It needs to write directly to the Time Capsule disk.

@ru..If the message that is displaying is "Network connection timed out", disable any Anti-Virus or Firewall software on the comptuer or check with the company that supports the product on how to modify it to allow iTunes to connect to the Internet.

Question: I cannot start my iPhone 4. It just "died". I connected it ti my Mac, but tha Mac doesn´t recognise it. Any ideas how to wake the phone.The battery is fine, I just cannot get it working!
See Here for
Frozen or unresponsive iPhone
Try this first... You will not lose any Data...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If that does not work... try letting the battery fully drain.
Then Charge for an Hour and try the suggestions again.
