Can I browse the Internet with Apple TV?

Is it possible to visit internet sites with Apple TV? Does it have a build in browser or is it limited to YouTube and Podcasts? Thanks for any info on this!

And I might add Michael, if Apple would add screen sharing capabilities to Apple TV like the feature built into Leopard, you could completely control the AppleTV with your MacBook Pro, so you wouldn't even need a bluetooth keyboard and mouse if you didn't own them.
Why Apple doesn't do some of this great stuff on the AppleTV, I don't know. I suppose they'll burp and dribble these enhancements out to us eventually, but it's going to take them a long time.

Can I browse the internet with my Apple TV?

I have an older ATV, maybe 3 years old, can I browse the internet with it and if so, how??

If you have an iPad 2 (or later), iPhone 4s (or later), iPod Touch 5. You can use mirroring.
You can also mirror a recent Mac or use airparrot on older hardware or PC

Ethernet cable from your router, or configure wifi in Settings.

While browsing the internet with my iPhone 4S the screen goes black and it looks like it's turning off, but it pops up to the unlock keypad screen.

While browsing the internet with my iPhone 4S the screen goes black and it looks like it's turning off, but it pops up to the unlock keypad screen. It has plenty battery and I was wondering if it is an issue of using too much of the iPhones RAM or not. I have no other apps open besides Messages. I am getting kind of worried as it started around two weeks ago and it has gotten increasingly frequent.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these steps in order until the issue is resolved.

If you are asking about the Internet Sharing feature on the Mac, the answer would be that this option is not available for normal wireless, but it might work for BlueTooth. Might be worth a try that way.
However, if the Mac had an Ethernet Internet connection, then you could create your own "private" wireless network to allow wireless devices to connect.

Have one WiFi signal into the apartment for my Air, and another wifi signal for my 5c phone plan. Both from the same provider. Expensive. Is there a way to 'combine' WiFi signals so I pay only for one, but can get on the Internet with my Air?

Roamingnome, thanks for your response. Although I have been a Bell (Canada) customer for my WiFi signal for years, the 5c and its necessary mobility plan, is very recent. Some years ago, Bell supplied its own ‘router’ for my computer, and claimed that it was possible to get their WiFi signal only with the router they supplied. When I recently received the 5c, I wondered if the plan it requires, which is within the much wider, overall Bell zone, could be used somehow to get my Air online - some sort of tethering? - that allows me to give up the Air WiFi service and router all together, but still get the Air connected. Here in Canada, Bell Mobility and other Bell services are very separate. Any suggestions appreciated.

I can't access the internet with Firefox on my computer (Windows 7 PC). I have used Firefox as my browser for 1 year but 5 days ago it stopped working even though Internet Explorer worked fine. I can't solve the problem and need some help.Randy Brown

Dear Mozilla,
I am having some difficulty accessing the internet with Firefox on one of my PC computers. I normally use Mozilla Firefox as my web browser and google is my homepage and gmail is my email system. The operating system is Windows 7. For over a year this system worked perfectly but a few days ago it stopped working. When I launch Firefox now I get the message that that website (www.google.com) is unavailable. In fact, I can’t access any website and I am blocked from the internet entirely within Firefox. My internet connection is fine because Internet Explorer works fine. I can access google and any other website within that web browser. I have investigated all the security issue I can manage and found no smoking gun. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox to no avail. Is Windows 7 compromising the effectiveness of Firefox? Any suggestions or other assistance you can offer would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Randy Brown

You only have to clone your mac when using certain cable modem. You don't clone your mac when using dsl.

I downloaded the new version of firefox and now when I try to log on nothing happens its like it doesn't reconize the mouse click. I can get on the internet with explorer but no longer with firefox??

firefox never opens. its what I always would get on the internet with now the symble is there but its dead. i downloaded the latest version and then everything changed, when I logged off I could not get back on to the internet. I can get on the internet using enternet explorer but not mozilla firefox
I can't answer the first question below because it NEVER open anymore

I have the shortcuts on my browser to the sites that I go to frequently. It's when I press those buttons (which have always worked before and I checked their URLs) it takes me to the Yahoo Page not Found page. But then when I click the shortcut button again, it usually works.

Can't browse the internet while making a phone call

I AM WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE HAS THIS. I live in the United States and used to have a really cheap phone with this particular carrier and was able to make calls and browse through the internet while on that phone call. Now that i have the new I Phone 6 with that same carrier and i can NO LONGER make a call and browse the internet. This really upsets me since i pay a high bill to have my IPhone plan. I thought it was a problem with my carrier company but the told me that it's an issue with the new IPhone 6.

It's on, but are you actually in an LTE coverage area? What does it say in the status bar? If you're on the CDMA network, you can not talk and use data at the same time. The "cheap" phone you had that allowed you to do that actually had 2 radios in it, as opposed to the iPhone. Of course, even if you are on LTE, the carrier needs to have enabled Voice over LTE service in that area and on your account.
Sprint is pretty consistently the worst carrier in the country.

I can't access the internet with IE 11 on my PC so I would like to download Firefox on my laptop and install it on my PC. I've been using Firefox on my laptop.

I use Mozilla Firefox on my laptop and would like to install it on my PC because Internet Explorer 11 stopped working. I can't access the internet so I downloaded the Firefox setup on my laptop and saved it to run on my PC. It initializes, but can't connect to the internet to retrieve the program. How can I get around this and install your browser?

Download one of these installers: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
If you machine can't connect to the internet to even download that though, you may have other problems (Using Firefox rather than IE is always a good choice though ;)
[[Websites don't load - troubleshoot and fix error messages]] might help. Also, [[Firefox and other browsers can't load websites]]

I can't acces the internet with (new!) iPhone 4s :(

I bought my iPhone 4s yesterday. I have Wi-Fi conection, but can't acces the internet at my house. My boyfriend can do it with his phone, works fine. I can also acces internet with my macbook. I already changed the wifi settings on my iphone, and reboot, but didn't work who can help me? Maybe it's the router?

That's a possibiliy.
If the router is set to just accept certain MAC-addresses, it might block your iPhone. But in that case, it should not prompt you for the password, it should just refuse connection. Might depend on the type of router, though...
If you log in to the routers admin settings, you can usually enable logging. That can help you to see if the router itself logs that the iPhone is connected or if any error messages pops up on the router side.

Other macs are connecting to the wireless no problem. mine finds the wireless and connects, but I can't browse the internet at all.

I am a teacher. My Macbook has had no problem all year long connecting to the school's wireless until yesterday. My computer tells me I am connected, but does not let me use the internet at all.
Things I've tried:
- Restarting
- Running Network Diagnostics (I get to the point where it says my internet appears to be working correctly... but it's not)
- Pinging websites like Google (no success)
- Checking to see that other people's Macbooks are connecting, no problem (they are)
- Checking to see if a browser other than Safari works (Firefox does not)
At home, my computer works fine. But at school (work), I've got nothing. Weirder still, in my Mac Mail, I have my Gmail and my school email set up. The school email (i.e. the local network) is coming through to Mac Mail and working normally, but my Gmail is not working, just like the internet.
Any thoughts about what to try next?

I can't access the internet with boot camp -- windows 7

Just bought the computer yesterday (15 inch mac book pro) and installed windows 7 with boot camp. I have a wireless network with a comcast modem and apple ariport extremes. The macs (including the new mac book pro when not running windows) and a different windows computer can reach the internet fine using the wireless network. When I run windows through boot camp it can't find the network. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Glad it has a simple cure

I can get on the internet with my laptop using my wireless network at home but I can not get on the internet using my ipad. The wi-fi setting show a connection on my ipad but I can not pull up the internet. Any ideas?

My laptop connects to the internet via my wireless network at home. My ipad will not bring up the internet using the same connection. It shows in the wi-fi settings as connected but when I bring up safari, nothing comes up. Any ideas?

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

I’m assuming not, as the Nano doesn’t seem to support wifi, but would like to know for sure

No it cannot.
