Acquired apple id. new iphone4. cant connect to internet?

purchased iphone4. Acquired Apple ID. Why can't I connect to the internet?

Corben:
You really need to provide more information. We are just other users in these forums and not mind readers.
Are you new to the iPhone and using Apple products? Are you syncing the iPhone to your computer and is it a Mac or a Windows machine? What version IOS is on the iPhone? Do you have WIFI turned on and are you in a WIFI area?
The more information you supply, the more of a chance we can help you solve the problem.
Acquiring an Apple ID has nothing to do with your phone's ability to connect to the internet.

  • Brand new macbook- cant connect to internet. Please help!

    Hi everyone, brand new macbook. i connected the ethernet and its giving me all these problems and will not connect to the internet. I tried to just let it configure automatically but even that doesnt work.
    I have ethernet via time warner cable btw.
    please help!
    thank u!

    Here is how to do a power cycle or what is called a reset.
    Plug in your mac to your modem
    Un plug the power cord to your modem
    Wait 5 seconds, then plug the power cord back in
    Give a minute or so to reboot and re-config its settings
    Try clicking on safari and connecting to the internet
    This should work, if not use the mac internet connect wizard to try and fix the problem.
    If both of those solutions do not work then post back here.

  • Time capsule cant connect to internet

    My Time capsule has recently stopped working (yellow flashing light) when it cant assign an ip address. I checked Airport utilities and now it has no ip address and cant find dns server. The problem with losing ip address has happened before and was resolved by restarting the modem. I've tried another router and its fine so my modem is ok. This time my time capsule dont want to work with the modem. Its stuck and cant connect to internet. I've restarted the TC but it didnt help so now Im pretty clueless. Any advice woyld be appreciated.

    Ok, when the simple stuff doesn't work you need a lot more analysis.
    1. Plug a computer direct to the modem.. does the modem give you internet? (are we talking cable?? what internet?)
    Once you clear the modem is working.. then the issue is purely the TC.
    2. You didn't make clear if you followed the instructions I gave.. I want you to plug in the TC to a computer by ethernet. Lan port to the computer ethernet. Turn off wireless on the computer.. disconnect all other network connections on the TC. Press and hold reset until the front LED flashes rapidly.
    Can you now access the TC?
    If not it is likely dead ..
    If you can make sure it is in router mode.. plug the modem into the TC wan port.. for cable you will have to power cycle the modem.. this can take a while.. 15min depending on your ISP.
    Reboot everything.. and check if the TC has picked up a public IP on wan.. if not it has failed on wan side.
    If the TC is dead.. or just as a means of testing.. get another router and plug it in. Substitution is the best test method.
    Exactly how old and what model is the TC?
    If it is Gen 3, A1355 try leaving it off overnight and restart the next day.. test immediately from cold. They have several board issues.
    Or if the TC is newer and you have existing warranty or applecare let apple fix it.

    Try this first. 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.

  • My wifi bar isnt showing up at the top and i cant connect to internet but its not my router

    my wifi bar isnt showing up at the top and i cant connect to internet but its not my router? HELP HOW DO i get wifi back

    I recommend that you start with taking a look at the Apple Support article to help you troubleshoot what the issue may be.
    If that still doesn't resolve the issue, we will need to get the AirPort icon back on the OS X menu bar to continue. Please try the following:
    System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Show Wi-Fi status in menu bar (checked)

  • HT4623 i cant connect to internet wifi button does'nt move

    i cant connect to internet, wifi button always off

    1.Verify that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
    2.Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings
    3.Ensure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
    4.If your issue is still unresolved, perform a software restore in iTunes.

  • Macbook 2.2ghz Leopard wont auto update (says it cant connect to internet??) also safari and chrome take ages to open and frequently crash. Help!

    Here goes...
    1) I have a Macbook 2.2ghz (early 2008) running Leopard 10.5.8 which wont auto update (says it cant connect to internet even though it is - error says A networking error has occurred: timed out (-1001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again.) Network diagnostcs says that im connected to the intermet.
    2) Also safari and chrome take ages to load pages when every time I open them (around 45 seconds) and then when they are running safari will randomly close and chrome will come up with the aw snap message for random pages (doesnt matter if its trying to loas flash or not).
    Iv got Sophos anti virus which is saying theres no malware or viruses, also tried restartiing, re downloading chrome, deleteing my profile from chrome, exporting, deleting and then importing bookmarks and hardwiring the latop to the router. None of these fixed the issues.
    Never had these issues and they are really getting on my nerves! Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks but just tried and does nothing, i read somewhere it could be to do with proxy settings? even though though i havnt changed them?? couldnt work out how to do it on a mac, could this be the problem?

  • Got a new computer, just downloaded i-tunes and such all over again. Now wanting to watch a movie and Apple TV is saying "cannot connect to internet"

    We're trying to watch a movie using our Apple TV. It is saying "cannot connect to internet?"  WE thought it was because we just got a new computer, so i went through the process of downloating i-tunes all over again...yet we still have the problem. ??? PLease help

    Linda
    What exactly has changed?
    Just the computer, other things?
    More information on your actual setup is needed -  Particularly how things are connected on the local network and to each other.
    In theory the new computer should not affect Apple TV's ability to rent and play a movie if the rental was made on the AppleTV itself.  The problem may have nothing to do with the new computer unless changes have been made on the router to let it connect and it's caused AppleTv to disconnect, or the PC has been assigned the AppleTV's IP address which is no longer available to AppleTV hence it thinks it's lost connection.
    Try powering off the router, restarting and see if the AppleTV internet connection returns. Restart AppleTv too if needed. Check any ethernet cable connections or wi-fi settings on AppleTV if it doesn't re-establish the internet connection.  By the way an ethernet cable plugged into AppleTV will disconnect it's wi-fi connections.

  • IPhone 3gs cant connect to internet after OS4

    Ever since i updated to OS4, i cant connect to the internet except at wi-fi hotspots. i reset all settings, restored the iphone, tried airplane mode on and off and nothing has worked. any suggestions?

    I had the same problem that AT&T couldn't solve after my iOS4 Upgrade on my 3gs.
    An Apple Tech double checked that airplane mode was off and then went to settings, restore network settings thru the phone's menu. It reset and suddenly all my 3g cellular connection was restored and everything worked again. But V E R Y S L O W L Y!
    I am still getting 4-5 bars of connectivity, my all my speed tests show my 3g data connect at about 60-120 kbps or even slower. I don't know of it's an iOS4 bug or AT&T just overwhelmed by al the new Iphones added to it's network. I'm paying for "Unlimited Data" that now comes in so slowly, some of my apps "freeze" and time out when they can't connect.
    And I have no official way of downgrading to 3.1.3 without hacking my phone...which can't be discussed here and may not even really work!

  • Please can someone help me? Have iphone 4 and just returned home from abroad where the phone worked fine. Now it wont receive wifi. It picks up signal and shows on phone but cant connect to internet. Computers and ipod all working ok

    Hi, please can someone help me?
    Have just returned home from abroad where my iphone 4 worked perfectly.
    Now at home it wont receive wifi. It picks up the signal which shows in phones display but cant connect to the internet. Computers and ipod all working fine so I assume it must be a problem with the phone.
    Have checked that wifi is turned on and tried resetting phone to no avail

    Hello melissa82686,
    From your description, it sounds like you may have been using the SMS feature of Continuity in iOS 8. If this is the case and it has somehow become misconfigured after a recent change, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:
    SMS
    With Continuity, all the SMS and MMS text messages you send and receive on your iPhone also appear on your Mac, iPad, and iPod touch. Even if the person you’re communicating with doesn’t have an iPhone. And regardless of what phone they have, you can reply from whichever device is closest to you, including your iPad or Mac. You can also initiate a  conversation by clicking a phone number in Safari, Contacts, or Calendar.
    To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
    Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
    Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
    On your iPhone:
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
    Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support

  • TS3274 NEW ipad "Not connected to Internet" ?  How do I resolve

    New ipad was connected , I think correctly but now when ipad is on it states internet  not connected  How do I eithe connect to wifi - or be able to contact support without connection?  AND some apps ie. Reminder and calendar appear to be in French all others in English

    I do not understand about having to pay for internet. The iPod has no native internet. To connect to the internet it needs a wifi hotspot/router. Are you trying to connect to a wifi hotspot that chargers money and requires a credit card? If so then you need to talk to the providers. If that is not it then provide more information.

  • WRVS4400N Cant connect to internet

    I cant get the WRVS4400N to connect to my cable modem. The WAN link light isnt even lighting up. Im wondering if this unit is bad out of the box. Is there a setting im missing to get them to talk to one another. This is no mention in any of the manuals.
    Connections:
    - The "Internet" port on the WRVS4400N to the "Network" port on my cable modem (No link light)
    Here is what i have verified at this point:
    - My old router connects instantly to the modem when plugged in (Same cable)
    - When i plug my laptop into the WAN port on the WRVS4400N i get a link light. When i plug the modem into the WAN port...nothing. 
    Anyone have any ideas?

  • Cant connect to internet using airport?!!!

    Hi,
    Suddenly and out of nothing, I just dont seem to be able to get connect to internet using airport. I restarted all devices but it still not working. Though I can connect to my wireless network using airport, I cant use the internet. I can use the internet from other devices and I've already checked my settings.
    Thanks

    Hi - what do you mean when you say that you "installed Airport Express on laptop" - do you mean "with your laptop using the Windows 7 version of the Airport Utility? - and what wireless router are you referring to? - if you clarify these issues, maybe someone can help you
