After 2.0 update, WiFi still connects, but won't load pages or any internet

So I had just used the IPod touch to hit some web pages, look at weather, stocks, youtube etc... an hour later....
installed the 2.0 update with the New York Times app, now I still connect to my access point, renewing IPs still work, It IS connected to the AP, but Internet based apps time out.
Example error: Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding.
I have rebooted, restarted, restored, and all the other things I've seen mentioned, but still can't get internet traffic. At one point I even tried connecting to the AP management, was prompted for ID and password, but then blank page.
any help appreciated

Exactly the same here. Just noticed this in my local coffee shop (Neros) where I used to be able to log on to BT Openzone. Now, since updating to 2.0 version, I get the same error message as you i.e. I can find and attach to the WiFi host but cannot get any further than "Safari can't open the page because it is not connected to the internet" Tried re-booting to no avail. My WiFi works just fine at home, though. Really annoying. Any ideas ?

Internet disconnects, wifi still connected but won't send audio to AirPlay Speakers

This is getting really frustrating. No one has any solutions, there was a UNIX command one that claimed to work for a lot of people, but it ruined my POS software and had to revert back.
Disconnects from everything connected to the router, but every single other device works fine. This problem only occurs with my iMac, just like all of the other threads around the internet.

Some users with various Wi-Fi connection problems have reported that they were given the following instructions by Apple Support, sometimes with success. I can't vouch for this procedure myself. After completing the procedure, you'll have to recreate all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make sure you know how to do that before you begin. Taking screenshots of the preference pane may be helpful.
Step 1
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 2
Reset the System Management Controller

Orange USB Modem with "Mobile Partner" connects but won't load pages

All,
I talked Orange Telecom into giving me a free trial with one of their USB modems. I plugged the modem into my MB Pro, installed the "Mobile Partner" software and configured the connection settings as specified by the Tech. I am able to connect fine using the device, however, it will not allow me to receive data, so I am unable to load web pages. The connection says that I am sending data, but not receiving anything. Any ideas on what I need to do in order to successfully receive data?
Current Settings are as follows:
Connection: Orange
APN: orange.ug
Phone Number: *99#
user: orange
password: orange
with these settings I am able to connect fine, but no data is received. I am guessing this has something to do with a setting in Network Preferences, but I can't figure out why it's not working. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Sig - thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I was sitting with the Tech rep when we configured the settings, so we are both sure the phone number was right. Additionally, I am connecting and I can see that information is being "sent," however the problem is that no information is being "received" so I am unable to load web pages, etc.
It must be some sort of problem with the network settings in Mac OS because there does not appear to be any problem connecting to the service, the problem has been receiving information. Any other suggestions or help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
JB

Have Wifi connection but won't load

My Iphone 3g indicates wifi connection after finding and connecting to my office router but won't load Itunes, App store or Safari pages, it will however connect via 3G. The phone is using Orange as the carrier and the phone was previously on the o2 network but was unlocked by o2 prior to putting in an Orange sim.
I have an identical Iphone (for business use) which connects fine, this is running on an O2 network but is otherwise identical.
Any suggestions are really appreciated.
Many thanks.

If you are running Lion 10.7.2 please try Lion WiFi problems fix, if you have trouble understanding it then watch the WiFi Lion Fix on YouTube . Your issue also could be with your router, it may be using a older firmware version. You will need to refer to the router mfg for instruction on how to update the router.

MacBook Pro wifi connected but won't load Internet

I've connected my MacBook Pro to my local wifi connection and it tells me that it is connected, but I can't run anything on it that needs an Internet connection (eg. Google Chrome, Skype etc.)
I've ran the 'Assist Me' checks in the Network Preferences and results have found the wifi connection to be positive..
I am so confused by this!! Somebody please help?!

First contact your ISP. You need to confirm that the issue is not on their end.
Change your router channel. Sometimes this is all you will have to do.
Power cycling the router. Read the router's user manual or contact their tech support for instructions.
System Preferences/Internet & Network/Network
Unlock the padlock
Locations: Automatic
Highlight Airport
Click the Assist Me button
In the popup window click the Diagnostic button.
System Preferences/Network- Unlock padlock. Highlight Airport. Network Name-select your name. Click on the Advanced button. Airport/Preferred Networks-delete all that is not your network.
Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined." Click the OK button and lock the padlock. Restart your computer.

Wifi connected but won't load

My ipod touch is connected to my mac via airport:
- my mac is loading pages ok, and displays the arrow up airport icon (sharing)
- no WEP,
- i can see my assigned DHCP and subnet numbers in ipod wifi settings
- i get the blue signal icon in top left hand corner
It would be reasonable to assume at this point my ipod is connected,
BUT every app on the ipod says "Cannot Open xxx, because it is not connected..."
Haven't found an answer to this anywhere, it was working up unitl recently, tried resetting network on the ipod.
Can someone from Apple please respond???

Welcome to Apple Discussions
This is a discussion board of fellow users and not Apple employees. If you feel you need Apple Support then you can either call them or visit an Apple store and speak with a Genius.
Let's review what you have going on.
1. You are running an Airport Base. - You are broadcasting in b/g/n modes, correct?
2. You have no encryption set up. - You should really set up WPA to protect yourself.
3. When your touch is connected to the network and you tap the little blue > next to your network name you see what? Is your IP address 192.168.x.x; subnet mask 255.255.255.0; Router IP address 192.168.x.x; DNS is the same as your router address?
4. If all of the above are good, then try typing this address into the touch version of Safari: http://74.125.45.100. You should land on the homepage of Google. If not, you need to figure out what is going on with your ISP's DNS service. You may want to set your router to use the DNS addresses of OpenDNS (www.opendns.com).
Good luck and respond with what you find.

Airport remaining connected but unable to load pages

I've been using my MB for four years now and this problem has recently appeared over the last two days. The airport icon will show full bars but I will have no connection to the internet. If I power cycle the airport (menu turn off then back on) I can then continue to browse the web. This happens about every five minutes or so.
I do have other computers in my house that aren't having this problem. So I know it's something to do with my Macbook. I was going to do a reformat/reinstall but I wanted to see if there was a known solution here. It's almost as if the DNS service just stops working and needs to be reset...
Any solutions? Purchase a new card? Reinstall OS?
Thanks!

Hi!
I am experiencing the same problem! And by the looks of it some other users are too!
My Macbook is one and a half years old and I never had problems with using WiFi. I am currently using BT wireless and during the day it keeps dropping now and then.. I end up restarting the machine as the status icon shows that its fully connected with my chosen connection but internet doesn't work. After restarting several times and deleting all joined wireless connections history, it eventually works. I am getting annoyed by this now. Also, as said by the douglobue rest of the machines are working fine on wireless its only my macbook. Any help please?
Thanks in advance!

My macbook pro says I am connected to the internet but won't load pages

my macbook pro says I am connected to the internet with a strong signal but it won't load any pages. The internet works fine on my iPhone and other computers so it must be an issue with my macbook. Any suggestions??

Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
See KB Articles: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1401 AirPort troubleshooting guide
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712 Using network locations in Mac OS X
============================
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.
Also, run the Airport Utility app which is located inside the Utilities folder.

If using Linsys router contact LinkSys Customer Support and/or post in their forums.
If using Apple's Airport, please re-post over in one of the AirPort Forums.

Wifi is connected but won't work

I have an iphone 4. I recently got internet back up at my home using an older wireless router. At first my wifi worked, but then we tried to hook up a older imac osx computer to the same router. After this my wifi just stopped working. I've disconnected my cable modem and also the wireless router, and reset my network settings on my iphone. It still does not work. I know there is a problem if my ip address on my iphone starts with 169 BUT, my ip address nor the subnet mask, router or DNS shows information to know if i have this problem.
Overall, my iphone picks up the wireless, has a check next to the network, but the wifi signal on my homescreen doesn't display even though i have the check. It just still has the "E"
please help!

I was trying to update the firmware, but when i tried to download it from the linksys website it downloads but my computer doesn't recognize what to open the file up with. Does it matter if i'm trying to update the firmware if i'm not using the original computer that i've first hooked the router up to?

Internet connected but won't load, have to turn wi-fi on and off every 3 or so minutes

I have a 2011 Macbook Pro. My wi-fi is great, but I have a problem with connecting using my computer. I can connect to the wi-fi network in a second, and the internet will work fine for let's say 3-5 minutes. Then everything just stops loading. I have to turn off wi-fi, turn it back on, and re-connect to the network just for pages to load again.
This does not happen with my phone.
What can I do to fix this?

Hi jordanapple,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

After macbook pro update 1.0, OS X won't load.

So I just tried to apply the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Update 1.0 to my brand new MBP 15.4 and the screen went black when I pressed restart. Then I got a message stating that the update failed and could not be applied. So, I restarted, got to the login screen, logged in and it seemed like the desktop came up, except I couldn't launch anything. The dock was missing, couldn't figure out how to get it visible, my desktop background was missing, launchpad won't come up or mission control either.
So, figuring a reboot might fix it, I restarted from the apple menu and... nothing. I get to the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinner below it and that's it. It just sits there spinning forever, doing nothing, until I hold down the power button to shut down the MBP. So, I currently have a MBP that doesn't work. What should I do? I need to get this thing working for my job or I am screwed. Someone please assist!

*Update*
Tried Perform a Safe Boot didn't work.
Tried Reset the NVRAM / PRAM didn't work.

I have windows 7 When I first start firefox works fine but after an hour or so it quits and won't load pages unless you go off line and start over. What can I do?

My question pretty much covers it. The program works fine usually about an hour and then when I go to load a page it comes up blank and you can see it is not searching. The only thing to do is go off internet and reconnect. Sometimes I have to shut the computer down.

The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
Try to decrease the value of the pref network.http.max-connections from 256 to 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.
