Macbook Pro connects to campus wifi but suddenly Safari/Mozilla will not load anymore.

I've had my MacBook Pro for a while now, it's still running Leopard, but that hasn't been a problem. I woke up yesterday morning and the Airport says its connected to the campus network, but when I open Safari/Mozilla/Mail, it will not load, and eventually says that the server will not respond.
I have connected to this network for over a year with no changes/problems
it literally happened overnight. I left my computer to sleep like I always do and when I woke it up in the morning, the internet wouldn't load.
internet works when I use an Ethernet cable
my roommate is sitting next to me with her newer macbook pro connected to the same network that is fucntioning just fine. So it's not the network (not that I could do anything to it if it was)
I've restarted, turned off Airport and turned it back on, deleted network preferences, put in the exact same IP address that my roommate has (hers is different from mine, but mine will not connect with the one she is connected to)...
HELP?

I solved my issue and I believe it was router related. I have a router through Verizon and their Fios service. My router was old so I caled for a replacement. when I received thereplacement I switched it the router to only accept 802.11n and this did the trick. Problem solved, stupid router.

    I need help with the question posted above

    Power down the router. Wait a while
    Power it up again. Wait until all the lights are lit up properly. It will take a while.
    Restart the computer.

  • I installed an Extreme in place of an old Express, the various phones and Ipads seem to work on the WiFi but the Mac itself will not connect.  It says something about the IP address.

    I installed an Extreme in place of an old Express, the various phones and Ipads seem to work on the WiFi but the Mac itself will not connect.  It says something about the IP address being used by another device.  Second wifi network was also created.  The Mac worked for a few minutes and then gaev up citing eth IP problem......any clues people??

    If you have not already done so, now would be a good time to perform a complete network power cycle.......to give everything a fresh start.
    Power off every device on the network.....computers, printers, hard drives, etc......in any order that you want
    Wait a full minute
    Start the modem, and let it run by itself for 2-3 minutes
    Start the next device connected to the modem and let it run a full minute
    Keep starting devices one at a time about a minute apart until the entire network is back up
    Check the network

    Any help is much MUCH appricated.

    I'm not sure, if you're out of warrenty it'll cost quite a bit for the replacement of the logic board replacement...unless you have apple care. you could ask apple to try and recover your hard drive but i'm not sure.

  • HT1595 I have 6 other apple devices that have no problem connecting to my network, but my Apple TV will not

    I have 6 other apple devices that have no problem connecting to my network, but my Apple TV will not, any ideas?

    1: Unplug / shut off the router for 30 seconds
    2: Retore or unplug apple tv (If you unplug it, let it sit for 30 seconds as well)
    3: If all else fails try moving the ATV and router closer to each other, if nothing works I would consider it a defect as Apple products generally have great quaility and you never know what goes on behind warehouse doors!

  • After I connect an ipod thro a usb cable, firefox will not load, but other browsers work fine.?

    Firefox works fine and is my preferred browser, but after I connect an ipod to my computer it will not load. Even after the ipod has been removed firefox will still not load until the pc is restarted.

    Open the Windows Task Manager > Processes Tab and see if there is a '''firefox.exe''' process running, when you can't open Firefox and you find it necessary ti restart your PC. When you try to open Firefox and a firefox.exe process is "hung", you should get a warning message that ''' "Firefox is already running" '''.

  • Why won't my MacBook Pro connect to my wifi?

    I have a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.5.  My ISP is BT Vision so have a open reach fibre modem and a BT HomeHub. All my other wifi devices (iPhone 4S, 5S and Ipad 3) connect to my home network and internet first time every time! However, my MacBook is extremely temperamental.
    When the laptop does connect to the internet it takes a random combination of restarting and turning the wifi on and off. If the laptop is left to connect on its own it either takes an extended period of time (30mins) or it simply won't connect. I have looked through the wifi settings but can't see any reason why the laptop won't connect. The wifi network is visible all he time.
    Any ideas?

    I know how to solve this problem had the same issue, its basically because you BTHome hub runs a 5GHz frequency a long with a 2GHz frequency and for some reason your mac tries to connect to that even though they dont have the techologies will allow them to run on that frequency, making you not connect to the internet. To fix this log into your homehub settings onlin by going to http://bthomehub.home/then going to advanced settings, wireless which should be under it and then click on the 5GHz and turn it off or rename  it and click apply. So you can make your laptop connect to the correct frequency. IF you can connect to the internet on your laptop then you can still do the same steps and process on your phone or any device that connects your BThomehub.

  • My MacBook Pro is admittedly old (2009) but suddenly very slow when using LR4

    I don't hve the fastest computer, admittedly.  But dowloading raw pics cand take ten minutes per picture.  I am downloading to an external drive - is that the problem, or do I simply need to get a more modern/ faster computer?
    I typically shoot in raw and export jpg versions..
    thank you so much to anyone who steps forward to help answer my novcice questions

    Thanks Butch,  I do have large sized images - in the 28 MP range.  And my laptop was 4GB with 256 memory. 
    To avoid clogging up my hard drive, I was keeping the photos - about 4,000 of them on a separate portable drive, a 1TB MyPassport for Mac drive with - indeed, a USB2.  So it sounds like the size of my images and this slow transfer is probably a big part of my problem.
    I have just upgraded my macbook pro to a new 15" 8GB with a 256 SSD.  And I would like to set up properly.  I still would prefer not to have all the photos reside on my hard drive.  I also have an iMac with a much larger drive, so I guess I could keep the catalog and the photos on it instead - but I don't like to work in my basement space where the desktop is....thus why I've been using laptop.
    Any suggestions would be most welcomed.  I also have a rather large inventory of previous photos that are in jpg format to be moved from iPhoto.  But that is a question for another day.  My immediate challenge is to figure out a workflow that is not too slow but does not eat up my hard drive.  Danielle

  • Why won't my Macbook pro connect to the internet, yet my desktop PC will?

    My 13 inch Macbook Pro was purchased back in March of this year, but recently I've been unable to connect to the internet. Within the network settings it says that my Airport is on and has a self assigned IP and that both the ethernet and firewire are not connected. Yet when on my desktop PC, everything seems to be working fine. I've concluded that it couldn't be my router, at least I'm pretty confident it's not.
    I've tried the usual reboot, unplug router routine but it still won't budge.
    Please help!

    Just connected my ethernet cable directly to my macbook, and the internet is working fine. So is this an issue with my router then?

    Most public places require that you agree to their terms and conditions prior to allowing you full access. Next time you connect, tap Settings > WiFi > and then tap the blue ">" next to the network with a check mark. Tap Forget this Network.
    Then tap Settings > WiFi and let the touch find the network. Tap on the name to connect and then wait for 20-30 seconds. If the network requires you to agree to Terms and Conditions, a Safari-like page will open up that allows you to do that.

  • One ipadmini will connect to WiFi but an identical one will not.  Any suggestions?

    Of 2 identical ipadminis, one will connect to the WiFi network but the other one receives the error message: Unable to join the network "XXXX".  Any suggestions?

    Hi thekps. Sorry to hear about your problem. Usually when an iPad can't connect to WiFi, it is usually the WiFi/Modems fault. I'm not saying its broken as such. There are many occurrences to your problem.
    You are to far from the modem
    You are typing in the wrong network key in
    There are too many devices attached to the modem
    Here's a little trick that I like to use:
    Go to Settings and click on WiFi. Press Other. Type in your SSID/ Network Name. Select your modems security type. If you dont know this, youll have to guess a lot. Then type in your password. If that doesn't work let me know!
