Apple IMac Internet not connecting

I have a a WRT54GS and an apple imac and it recognizes the network but will not open the internet. I noticed that on the forum maybe its a firmware update or downgrade. What version of firmware should i be at?

is any other wireless client able to go online ?? if yes, check the ip add on the imac..ensure that it has an ip add in the range of the router ..
the firmware needs to be 1.52.0 if the router hardware version is 5 or 6 ....

Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.

Joining an encrypted WEP or WPA Wi-Fi network

IMac is not connecting to the internet. TCP/IP settings gone. Ethernet works OK.

I have 3 Macs, but today the iMac is not connecting to the internet. The others are fine. The iMac Airport antenna on the tool bar shows a strong signal, and when I pull down on it, it shows it's connected, but in Network Preferences is says Not Connected.
Then, in the TCP/IP tab, all my setting are gone!. The settings in my laptops are just fine.
I power-cycled everything, but the iMac is still without connection.
When I connect the iMac to the Time Machine/Air

I would test something else connected by ethernet like the laptop to make sure it was not a router thing
then I would connect the appletv by usb to the laptop and use itunes to restore the firmware if that was the issue
then I would try bringing it to a friend or relatives place and test it there
if all else failed it would resturn it under warrenty

Step 1
Take all the applicable steps in this support article.
Step 2
If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it.
Step 4
This step will erase all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.
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 5
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 6
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

My wireless internet is working with all of my other devices but my imac will not connect to the network?

Can anyone help? My wireless connection is working on both my iphone4S and my ipad2, but my Imac will not connect to the network.

First run Software Update to make sure your iMac is up-to-date.
Even though things are working OK on other devices there may still be issues with your modem or router so it's best to start there. Locate the manuals on both devices and reset each. Do the modem first then the router. Next make sure the router has up-to-date firmware. If the problem continues after updating resetting and updating both devices then download and install iStumbler and let it run for about 30 minutes. iStumbler will scan your area for the Wi-Fi networks being used, pay attention to the channels each network is set to. Most routers are pre-set to channels 5 or 6 and if you are in a congested area and all the routers are set for channel 5 or 6 then you can see where there might be a problem. Set your router's channel to one not being used in your area, you have at least 14 channels to choose from. Also check to see if your router is using 802.11n, if it's not then it would be wise to upgrade the router to a faster device.
Next is if you are still having issues the problem could be your ISP's DNS settings. If you want to learn about DNS please read CNET's DNS Article and MacWorld's DNS Troubleshooting . Then use the instructions below to reset the DNS settings:
1. System preferences
2. Network
3. Click Advanced
4. Click DNS tab
5. Click + sign
6. Add 208.67.222.222
7. Click + sign
8. Add 208.67.220.220
9. Click OK.
10. Exit System Preferences

IMac will not connect to safari or firefox after new hard drive

Apple store just put a new hard drive in my iMac. My time machine had all my previous info stored so I downloaded it and transferred all my old info. Now the iMac will not connect to the Internet? My Internet is running and I have tried to reset safari with no luck? Please help.

If you know for sure, that your Internet connection is OK, check the status of the connection on your Mac. Got to system perferences and open the Network applet. What is the status of your Ethernet or wireless connection. Is is set to get an ip address via DHCP? Is is showing any IP/Subnet/Router addresses? If you're not sure what to do, click on the "Assist me" button on the bottom of that window...Hope this helps.

Imac will not connect to Airport Extreme when configured WPA/WPA2

Imac will not connect to Airport Extreme when configured WPA/WPA2
Posted: Jul 5, 2007 8:22 PM Reply
I just got my Imac to connect to the internet using my Airport Extreme but only by using WEP. I had my Windows XP SP2 machines connecting using WPA/WPA2 with no problem. The Imac will not connect using anything other than WEP, and 1 of the XP machines will not connect using WEP.(I have not tried the other XP machines) I had to set the Airport Extreme for an open network in order to let both computers access the shared hard drive and access the internet.
I don't know what the problem might be and would appreciate any suggestions.
MacBookPro, Imac Mac OS X (10.3.9) Fujitsu tablet PC, 2 XP desktops

hehe...on the visuals. I figured it out already, and I have the old airport card. However, I did a chat with Apple support and while we were chatting I found a USB adapter with MAC drivers which will work. It is:
Hawking Technology HWUG1A Wireless-G USB Adapter with Removable Antenna for Macintosh
Manufacturer Part# HWUG1A
That is the only adapter that actually does WPA/WPA2 that I can find that is for a Mac and not just an older USB that only does WEP. It surprises me that Apple does not have a USB product like this. Anyway, for $56 including shipping, I will have it by Monday or Tuesday. Pretty cool.
Thank you so much for your assistance. It is appreciated.

Internet not connecting after ios 7.0.2 update on iphone 5

Internet not connecting after ios 7.0.2 update on iphone 5

Hi there PompasJr,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

Camera isn't functioning
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash (iPhone 4 only); try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center. Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. After recording begins, you cannot readjust focus until you stop recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll. Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

My iMac will not connect to time capsule used as base station in my roaming network

I have a network that is made of up a Time capsule as a base station and 3 airport express's used to extend my wifi coverage. It is setup as a roaming network with each express hardwired to the base time capsule. I have a iMac that will not connect to the base station, it will only connect to one of the remote express's. The iMac is next to the base satation. Other mac notebooks, iPhone or iPads all connect to the base station when they are near it. Only my iMac will not connect to it. Any suggestions as to why this is happening or steps I can take to fix this.

Hello FoxFamilyVA
Check out the first article below to go through some troubleshooting options to get your iMac to connect to your Time Capsule. I would go through and remove it from the list of known networks that you join and then add it back in. I would also recommend that you try and create a new Network Location to see if there is an issue with your current configuration.

My apple tv is not connecting!

Help!
My apple tv is not connecting and it simply says "was an error connecting to the wi-fi"
Thanks.

As others have posted regarding their ATV's, I took my ATV3 to the Apple store and they replaced it, no questions asked. I had been using the old unit with no problems for about two months. So far I have been using the new unit for five days with no problems, but I will keep an eye out, as it sounds like it could happen again. (If it does, I will reconnect to Ethernet to get it back into a good state, check the software version, swap out HDMI cables...)
On September 4 I noticed my ATV3 could not see any wireless networks. After some unsuccessful troubleshooting I took it to the Apple store on September 6. They quickly reproduced the problem in the store and replaced the black box, no questions asked. It has been working fine for five days.
I am not sure what broke on my first unit, hardware or software. And I am not sure if the new unit is running the same software as the old one.
Now, occasionally (once a day) the new unit will drop off the wifi, then quickly (less than a minute) reconnect. I am not sure if this is a problem with the ATV or my wifi network, I never noticed if the old unit did that.
