MacBook Pro connects with an IP address, but no internet connection to any apps.

I have tried everything I could think of and read about and am still having the same issues. I access a public wifi hotspot for my internet, but all of my other devices (iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Samsung tablet) work just fine.
I have tried all of these troubleshooting tips:
- removing wifi connection in system pref and readding
- removing system config folder and restarting Mac
- removing wireless network from keychain and system pref
- connected to phone hotspot and other wifi connections wits same results
- verified and repaired disk permissions
I cant think of anything else to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
specs:
MacBook Pro
OS X Yosemite 10.10.1

Thank you to all of you who helped.
Yes, she has a static ip address and a dns entered in on the router - apparently someone else in the household logs in remotely to a work computer. I suggested that she contact the person that set up this secure connection so as not to interfere with anything important. The person did as you suggested - gave her new dns to enter and is going to fix whatever needs to be fixed in order to enable others to log on wirelessly without this situation arising again.
So thanks for all your input which enabled her to get so quickly to the root of the problem. She is up and running now.

How can a session be setup between two MacBook Pro's at different locations on high speed Internet connections, be setup to have a live recording session in Logic?

My partner and I live on opposite sides of the valley here in Phoenix. About 50 miles apart one way. We are Musicians and are working on a commercial for television, and would like to know if there is a way, between FaceTime and Logic, that we can configure our MacBook Pro's to record sessions together without having to be at the same house? When we FaceTime, he can hear my keyboard through his headphones, but we can't seem to get the signal routed into Logic and register to a track when its record enabled. Is there a way for us to save gas, and record at seperate locations, so he can engineer me and I can engineer him, while we build this project in Logic and Final Cut? Here is what we are using, we have nearly identicle setups, which was planned so we might be able to do something like this. Both of us are using Mid 2012 15" MacBook Pro's with 2.6GHz Intel i7 processors and 16GB RAM. The only difference between the two MacBooks is that his has an Optical Drive, but I removed mine and replaced it with a 2nd SSD Drive, so I have two Samsung 840 Pro's each with 512GB in my MacBook Pro. His just has one Samsung 840 Pro with 512GB. We both use Focusrite Saffire Liquid 56 Firewire Audio Interfaces, and we both use Logic Studio 9 Academic. I don't know if you need to know what we are using in order to help us figure out how to configure the MacBooks for a live session, so I figured I would give you those details just in case. If you need any more information, just let me know? Oh, we both have high speed cable Internet connections. Mine is 150Mbps speed which is the absolute fastest I can get in my area. And his is only a 50Mbps speed line.
Again, what we are looking to do is have a LIVE recording session, in Logic, with him at his house and me at my house. When we FaceTime each other, we can pretty much hear each others keyboards as if they were part of the conversation, and as crystal clear as we can hear our own when recording, but we can't seem to record enable an Audio track in Logic and route that keyboard signal into Logic and record it so we can engineer each other without either one of us having to drive to the others house, to be there to do it. If any of this even makes sense, I'm not quite sure how to better explain it. So hopefully you get what I mean, otherwise just say so, and I will try to do a better job explaining it. :-)
Anyone who can help us with this little problem would be greatly appreciated, and quite a hero in these two humble Musicians Worlds!! So from both of us, THANK YOU in advance for any input you might be able to give us. I look forward to hearing any and all suggestions.

Hey Scott
You and ALOT of people are attempting to do this, myself included.
Unfortunately at this point (to my knowledge) it's a pretty CRAP setup involved that will likely leave you frustrated.
HOWEVER:
A few things CAN be done:
IF you are getting live audio from your partner over the internet, you can re-direct that audio directly into Logic using a program called SoundFlower.
There are a few alternatives to SoundFlower, like JackTrip, and.....(the name eludes me)
(SoundFlower is from a company called Cyling 74 who also makes Max MSP. )
Once in Logic, you set your audio inputs to the track to be Soundflower. (either 16 inputs, or in this case 2)
That all being said, regardless to speed, you are still going to experience latency in the connection, and THAT is the part that will likely drive you to the mad house.
THIS all being said, I believe there are websites out there that are set up to actually do this kind of thing, (at least there WERE) but likely membership costs, and other "hidden" problems that you only learn about after you have signed on the dotted line. (Hopefully I am wrong?)
If you don't need to do a "live jam", there are always solutions like DropBox that work very well for exchanging large files quickly.
If you want to record live MIDI input from his keyboard, I am unaware of any solutions for this.
Due to the popularity of the iPad, you might want to look into the App store, and see if there is something available.
Good luck!

MacBook Pro came with iLife 09 pre-installed. Is it on the App Disc?

My Macbook Pro came with iLife 09 installed. I did not get a separate iLife disc. I have two discs, the Mac OS X DVD and Applications Disc (haven't confirmed if iLife is in there). Do you know off Apple includes iLife in that second disc or will I be screwed out of iLife if I decide to erase and install the Mac OS X down the road?

Welcome to the Mac world!! The answers to any questions you have are right here!
Time machine will handle everything for you. You don't have to make any decisions. It will start with a full backup and then take incremental backups from there. You can hook up an external to the extreme base station but if you have 1 machine to backup I would suggest plugging it into that machine. Network backups can be so slow, especially that first full backup.

Slate 21 Pro - Obtains IP address but no Internet connectivity

Hi all,
I have a Slate 21 Pro with no internet connectivity at home. The device obtains an IP address via DHCP on either wired or wireless networks, but when attempting to browse or access internet-based resources, it simply times out. I've also tried manual IP address assignment with no success. If I take the tablet to a local wi-fi cafe, it connects fine, but I can't get it to work at home. My ISP is Baja Broadband, a 50MB/5MB cable connection Local network details below:
* Arris T822G cable modem - ISP-provided, no routing or firewall capability, just a plain old modem
* Cisco/Linksys E3000 wi-fi router - internal network gets NAT'ed here. no filtering, nothing fancy
* Netgear 24-port managed gigabit switch
I've tried bypassing the internal network and connecting the Slate 21 Pro directly to the cable modem via wired Ethernet. Same problem - it obtains an IP address (a public IP in this case) but will not connect to any internet sites. HP sent me a replacement unit which displays the exact same problem. Both units work fine at the wi-fi cafe.
(OS is Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. I could take the unit to the wi-fi cafe and see if there's any OTA updates available if anyone thinks that might help.)
I'm a network engineer with 25 years IT experience. My home network is a mature network with no known problems. Connected to this network and functioning perfectly are: 2 iPhones, a Roku box, an LG smart TV, 2 Macs, 4 Windows PCs. Previously had 2 HP Touch tablets which were also fine. Home visitors are able to connect their phones and tablets to our wi-fi with no problems. It's *just* the Slate 21 Pro which is misbehaving.
I'm stumped. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Steve
This question was solved.
View Solution.

UPDATE: This is resolved. I discovered I was able to access Internet sites by IP address but not by hostname. There was something wonky with the ISP-provided DNS server. Once I substituted a different DNS server in the IP config, it works.
Weird!

Macbook Pro (purchased Dec 2010) OS 10.9.5 Internet connection problems via Belkin ethernet

Hello.
I've just moved to an old house with very thick walls and positioning my BT router close to my Macbook is a problem due to the location of the BT box and powerpoint. I can connect to the router with WIFI but it's a little clunky and slow. I'd like to use my Belkin home plugs to connect to the router by Ethernet instead.
I've plugged in the Belkin box, both green lights are on steady and I've connected the computer by ethernet cable. Network Preferences show that ethernet is connected and there is a green light on the left side of the NP pane. Trouble is, I cannot connect to the internet. I've tried switching WIFI off and that doesn't solve the problem.
WIFI advanced settings are:
Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.64
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.1.254
Ethernet settings
Configure IPv4: Using DHCP with manual address
IP address: 192.168.1.64
Subnet Mask: [blank]
Router: [blank]
DNS Server: 192.168.1.64
Thanks to anyone helping me.

Is possible to transfer photos from a macbook pro to an iphone without itunes or an internet connection?

Is possible to transfer photos from a macbook pro to an iphone 5 without itunes or an internet connection? I'm a pro photographer and I need to transfer photos from my camera, edit them, copy photos to my iphone and send via 4G network to an editor. I will be in a location without internet access and my old computer itunes wont sync with my new iphone 5. I can't upgrade the computer right now because I need some of the old software. Thanks.

Some decent suggestions for apps to do this in this thread:

Trying for wireless network with D-Link modem, but no Internet connection

I am trying to figure out a way to use my iBook elsewhere in my house, without being physically connected to my modem. I have a SpeedStream 5100 modem, use DSl, and just got a D-Link DI-524 router. My problem is that I cannot access the configuration page for the router. When I type in 192.168.0.1, as instructed, my we b browser "times out." I also cannot "ping" this address.
I have tried multiple web browsers, have tried resetting the modem and the router, and have tried to contact D-Link and SBC for help, to no avail.
My iBook recognizes a wireless network when all of the machines are connected, but I can't get online on either machine.
As instructed by D-Link, I have changed the ISP address in my network preferences, but something doesn't seem to be working.
What am I doing wrong?
By the way, I have downloaded no firmware or drivers for the D-Link; I just hooked it up.
Thanks in advance!

Yes, the cable from the modem is plugged into the WAN port; the cable from the iMac is plugged into the WLAN port (I've tried all four ports). (By the way, don't feel bad about asking; I am not the most tech-savvy.)
The IP address I have been trying to connect with the router/modem setup is 192.168.0.1. There is no way for me to input any numbers in the "router" box; it is blank.
Normally, when I connect using DSL, my IP address is different, and there is a router number there, too.
I have tried contacting D-Link's customer support via e-mail. After exchanging about three e-mails with them, they have declared me beyond their help. Ugh! I'm sure it's something simple that I'm not doing, but I just don't know what!

My MacBook Pro (Early 2011) will constantly loose it's internet connection.

Okay, so I have wireless internet service which works great. I have an android smartphone, an HP laptop and a MacBook Pro (early 2011). My android smartphone and my hp computer both connect perfectly to the wireless network. On the other hand, my Mac connects at times but it rapidly looses connection. All of the wifi bars on the mac appear as if the computer was connected, but there is no connection. Does anyone know how to fix this? It's getting very annoying because I have to turn my wifi (on the mac) on and off to get internet connection again. I would really like to receive uninterrupted internet coverage on all my devices, including my mac. PLEASE HELP!

I am having the same issue. My macbook pro is one of the models from late last year. Within the past few weeks I have been getting disconnected from my wifi for no reason. It still shows that I am connected but nothing will load. When I dissconect and reconnect it loads up fine and everything works again, though in another 10 minutes it will crash again.

I have Macbook Pro 2013 with pre installed iPhoto. And an iMac without this app. Do I have to buy it for iMac to use?

So the question is - can I use iPhoto with my iMac since I have it on my Macbook Pro. App Store offers me to buy it.

From the iMac, log into the App Store with the AppleID you used to set up the MBP. Then check your Purchases list

My Iphone calendar connects with my wifes calendar but does not connect with my ipadmini

My experience with hotel wifi is that it's an open, and unsecured, connection, but unless you agree to their terms on a launch page, you can't go any further or connect. Sometimes I need to force safari to come up and even make it go to a page, to trigger the auto load of the 'agree to our terms' page.
Unless your machine is work provided so maybe could be blocked from unsecured net access?

I just bought a Macbook Pro 15'' with the retina display, but my webcam is extremely slow... what could be the reason?

When I'm using my webcam, for instance with FaceTime it's very slow... What can it be?

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
