Original Ipad 1 will not connect to internet even though there is a strong signal displayed

Hi My iPad 1 was working fine but suddenly it will not connect to the internet, it shows a full wifi signal and I have tried reseting but it keeps failing to connect with the internet,,does this indicate a fault with the iPad, router or software. My Sony laptop works from the same BT router using wifi and has no problems.
Has anyone had similar connection issues, I am reluctant to send it to Apple in case its not a fault with the iPad so want to check all other options first..

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Occationally my iphone 5 will not connect to internet even though the Wi-Fi connection shows as connected.

I have a iphone 5 iOS 8.2 and occasionally it will not connect to the internet, even though the Wi-Fi show as connected. If I reboot the phone it will work properly. Any idea how to fix this?

Unable to validate my serial number for purchased version of premiere elements will not connect to internet even though my connection is ok

i have purchased an official copy of premier elements 13. i have my serial number etc but when i go validate my sign in throgh my internet connection nothing happens. its a nightmare !! I cannot even find out how to generate a rerquest code for offline valiodation. clicking on "generate response code " does nothing. I have jjust spent £79 on this product. will someone please help. ther is nothing wrong with my internet connection.

Hi, A.T.R
Thank you so much for your common sense reply. I contacted Adobe via their online chat help facility. One of their tech guys resolved the issue by re-setting the Hosts file. Now I have seen this in the forums and it basically involves making a back-up copy of the Hosts file deleting certain entries and applying again.. Thankfully this worked for me. But I would urge Adobe to look into this matter as there are many novices I am sure will be extremely frustrated at what should be a straight forward approach when validating their software. Most people would know there internet was working ok and most people would be able to disable anti-virus software etc, but to continue getting a failure to validate a serial number online would in my opinion beggar belief !! for most technically minded folks out there. Most annoying.
When anyone purchases legacy software from Adobe, no one wants this kind of problem. The software is not cheap.
My purchase was Adobe Premiere Elements 13 and it is a great piece of software for video editing. I can however recommend it. It is very good for both novice and professionals
Thank you.

HT1695 Wi Fi on ipad 3 will not connect to internet - had been working until yesterday

My wi-fi was working fine two days ago and yesterday morning. It stopped working and cannot connect to internet. I have tried all that is recommended except downgrading to next level iso. Please help - I took to another location to see if it was my network, but not so. I have two other computers connected and the whole house DVR system. These items are working fine.

What does, "tried all that is recommended mean"? What have you tried?

My itouch will not connect with airport even though I am entering the correct password

I have not had any problems with my Apple airport modem until today. When I went to use my I touch that I have been using for at least one year on the airport would not connect and my password that I have been using all along will not work. Any suggestions?

With some routers, during that first set up it asks you for the password, but what it really wants is the full security code, not the password. I have seen this many times. Go back to the router and get full code. It is usually a
Ong meaningless string. If you cannot find it, reset the router to make it generate a new one. When you trymto join the network on the pad, use that and not the password. See if that helps.
By the way, once you join, it will remember, and you will not need the string again unless you do a full restore or 'forget' the network.

Safari says not connected to internet even though wi-fi is active

Reboot your router by turning it off or unplugging it from power for about 15 seconds.

After connecting to Bluetooth keyboard, iPad 2 will not connect to Internet (wifi) at all. Wifi is ok, have tried turning off bltooth, wifi on iPad. It sees the network but won't connect. Help? Have also reset network settings etc

My iPad wifi was working great until I I connected it by Bluetooth to a keyboard (zagg). It was the first time I'd used Bluetooth
Immediately Internet was dropped on my ipad. My iPhone was and is still connected no prob. And I cannot get the iPad wifi to work again....at all!!!
This is major as I am away from my desktop for three months. Any fix cannot involve being at my desktop with iTunes which is 10,000 km away
So far This is what I've tried based on other discussions-
-turned Bluetooth off and unpaired to keyboard which was also turned off
- turned iPad wifi off and on (several times)
- forgot the network I useArrive Jul 19 depart Aug 25th. Originally it was Sept 9.
-- reset network settings
What happens is that the iPad sees the network and I enter my password. But, instead of getting "check mark" indicating a successful connections it keeps "circling". Sometimes the airport bars will show, but disappear or flicker. It never connects with a check noted in settings. Any attempts to use internet confirm there is no connection
My network is not a cafe or public network. It is one I regularly use here at my family's home where I am visiting
Any ideas!

Firefox is not connecting to internet even though proxy/firewall are off and internet connection is fine

I was still able to use the internet on my laptop through Firefox until for whatever reason it just stopped working. The page just says "unable to connect" and I tried doing all that it says, even waitingfor about 5 hours now to try to use it again. My network connection is working as I am able to skype with my sister and is currently uing Internet Explorer to type this. I also tried turning off both the proxy and firewall to see if anything would work. Nothing happened.

Firewalls don't turn off when you turn the user interface off. You need to figure out how to allow Firefox thru your Firewall.
Locate your Firewall here, and follow the instructions. <br />
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firewalls

Everytime i search and select a site i get redirected while i can go directly to the site on Explorer, also some bookmarked sites will not open on Firefox, even though there were saved there but I can open them in Explorer. Help I like Firefox.

there are too many to list. when I google a site and click on it, most times I get redirected. is this a maleware issue? it seems to work fine with Explorer. for example I can open adam4adam.com in Explorer but not with Firefox.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Computer stopped connecting to internet even though there is full signal and nothing has changed.

so the other day i opened my computer and it wouldn't connect to the internet. it had been working fine before that and nothing had changed, it just stopped connecting. I have full signal and can connect to the network, but my internet signal on the top bar has an exclamation point and says "Alert: no internet connection." My roommates can both connect with their computers so i dont know the problem! i've looked for soulutions on other forums and havet tried deleteing "airport" as a source and then re-adding it, deleting the system configuration folder (a suggestion someone got from apple), renewing the DHCP lease, nothing works. help!

When I try and open it, windows puts up a box saying that windows 7 has a problem with Safari and will not open?
Fingers crossed, your Windows 7 will have been recording some additional information about those.

Once the reliability report has been generated, look for Critical events for Safari generated at the time of the "Safari has stopped working" messages. Doubleclick the name Safari in the critical events. (Don't click View solution.) Here's a screenshot showing what to doubleclick:
