Can not connect to the network

I just purchased the Apple TV. My network consists of an Airport Extreme "n" base station and a Powerbook. I "had" WPA security set up on the network, but since I had trouble connecting the Apple TV with the password, I reset the base station and are back to the default configuration, no security, and in bridge mode to troubleshoot. Even with this configuration I am unable to connect the Apple TV.
I get:
Connection Failed
Apple TV could not connect to the Internet. Check your network settings and try again.
My laptop is right next to the Apple TV, has a very strong signal and does connect.
So far I've been unable to get anyone at Apple Technical Support to give me help on Apple TV.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks!

Wow... what an ordeal! I did get it working. I had to perform a "Factory Reset" on it and then it was able to connect. I tested it with a couple of movie trailers and it worked fine. I changed my network back to WPA with a password that I would be able to reproduce in Apple TV, and it connected up fine. What a big sigh of relief! I am now streaming my iTunes content and life is certainly wonderful!
I am very happy with it! It only took me a little over 5 hours to install it!
Thanks for all your help Winston!

    There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
    Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

  • Upgrading to xcode and can't connect to the network

    Hi! I use a C++ library in my application which connects to the network (I suppose it uses sockets). I've been using it for months and I was using xcode 3.2.4. Now, I just had the great idea of upgrading to xcode 3.2.5, and I found out my application was crashing with the error:
    If you are encountering this problem running a simulator binary within gdb, make sure you 'set start-with-shell off' first. 3.2.5
    Ok, couldn't solve it, so went back to 3.2.4, as suggested somewhere. The application is not crashing anymore, but now the library can't connect anymore to the network. Tried to rebuild it (I didn't write the library but I have the sources) and use the new library, but nothing. Still the library can't connect to the network. I tried with every simulator.
    Any idea what there could be wrong and how I may be able to solve this? Can I somehow delete manually everything related to xcode and the simulator and try to start all over again?
    Thanks!

    I've been able to temporarily solve this problem by removing the entire Development directory and installing again xcode 3.2.4. Even with xcode 3.2.4 however, the same happened, and I had to do this procedure again. Now it seems to be working correctly, but it seems something very strange has happened. Hasn't anyone experienced anything similar?
    Thanks!

  • When using Parallels for Windows 7, I cannot connect to Wi-Fi. I get drop down menu "Real Network Adapter Thunderbolt Bridge used by Virtual Adapter 1 is not connected to the network". How do I fix?

    When I try to connect to internet wirelessly (Parallels/Windows 7 on my Mac Pro) I get a drop down that says "Real Network adapter thunderbolt bridge used by virtual adapter 1 is not connected to the network". I can not figure out how to connect - any help is appreciated!

    Since you are having trouble with Parallels or Windows, did you ask in their respective support forums? If not, you might want to consider doing so.

  • HT4260 I did everything the article suggests. And for my macbook pro it works perfectly. But all the other devices (iphone 5, 4, Macbook Air) can't connect to the network. Anybody any idea's?

    Try resetting your modem. Power it down. Wait a moment, then power it up again. While it resets, do not change what is connected to it.
    In another, though unrelated article, Apple recommends the following:
    If you have configured your Wi-Fi base stations in the past, it may be helpful to do a factory default reset of each Wi-Fi base station that will be part of the wireless extended network before you begin.
    This step really ought not be considered optional for the configuration you propose. If the problem persists after resetting your modem, reset everything else too.

  • 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

    IP routing doesn't work the way many folks might initially think it does; functional IP routing requires manual configuration and the establishment of static routes and default routes specific to the local network configurations, and it's very easy to get it wrong, or to get the default route swapped. Multiple NIC boxes don't magically work, either. (Been there, done that, wondered what happened to my network when the paths got reordered or my route settings were messed up, etc.)
    Routing configuration errors can be quite subtle, too. (Again, voice of experience. Ever had a thousand-seat office LAN accidentally routing through your desktop? As the, um, unnamed guilty party discovered, getting into that configuration was subtle. Seeing the performance crater on the fellow's box and on the LAN was obvious.)
    Knowing how IP routing works is a prerequisite to getting this configuration to work; there's manual configuration required. Clearly something has gone weird here.
    What to do? Read up on IP routing. I'll again suggest the threads and the manual mentioned earlier.
    And in general, I prefer to avoid using my comparatively expensive Mac boxes as sub-optimal IP routers or as firewall boxes. General-purpose operating systems and generic x86 boxes are going to be inherently poor IP routers. Dedicated routers (or embedded or surplus x86 boxes with routing software loaded) offload the Mac boxes here, and are also typically easier to configure manage. And "real" IP routers can have hardware specific to efficiently routing packets. Use of an outboard firewall or firewall-router box also greatly simplifies gateway routing, too; it's a configuration that many folks and many businesses tend to use.

  • When trying to use the apps message received is not connected to the network

    My printer is connected and I can print from the ipad and the laptop, but when I try to use one of the apps to print something.  I get an error message that the printer in not connected to the network.  I have tried all the trouble shooting tips and when printing out the wireless network test results, it says no problems found.  Please help, this is a brand new printer purchased on 08/30/2012.

    I believe I have the same problem.  I get "Server Connection Error: -1".  This only occurs on weekends (Sunday).  Is this because someone turns off the server on the weekends?
    There is nothing available to describe what this error message means.

  • TS2972 Apple TV is not connected to the network?

    After installing the latest Apple TV firmware update 5.1.1 (5433), my Apple TV will not stream music from my iTunes over the wifi network. After 15 - 120 seconds of music, the streaming stops and I get the "Apple TV is not connected to the network" message. My iPhoto is still streaming pictures and I can go to Radio and stream content.
    In the "About" screen. I have 4 out of 5 bars of signal, but the IP Address number and wi-fi network name drop out randomly. I have reset and restored several times to no avail. I have reset my router several times and powered down/restarted several times. The Genius Bar folks have no answers except purchase a new one.
    The system has worked perfectly until the December update.
    Any answers?

    This will be due to a network issue, which can come at any time
    Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)
    If on wifi try Ethernet
    To see a status of the network go to istumbler, netstumbler or similar to get a report. Look for signal strength, noise, nearby networks

  • Upgrade ip5 to ios6.0.2 and now I can't connect to the network (was fine with 6.0.1).

    I just upgraded my ip5 to ios6.0.2 and now I can't connect to the network (was fine with 6.0.1). I bought the phone  online in Canada but have a Hong Kong simcard. Any solution to connect to network?

    I bought mine in the US and activated using a German SIM.  It worked fine first on 6.0.1.  After upgrading to 6.0.2 the SIM does not work.  I have reset the reset the phone and still does not work. I loaded a new SIM and the phone worked for few minutes before going to Searching mode after I restarted the device.  I am being told by the Genius Bar team that this is a Hardware failure.

  • The wireless symbol is present and indicates a strong signal, but I can not connect to the Internet.

    The wireless symbol is present and indicates a strong signal, but I can not connect to the Internet.  I'm  on my home network and have never had trouble before.  My iPad is current on all updates. I have tried to reset the network settings, nothing has worked.  I can connect to the internet via my iPhone  personal hotspot and all other wireless devices are operating normally on my home wireless network.

    I am also having this issue. My boy just got an iPod 4 touch, upgraded to iOS 6. I have a D-Link DGL-4300 108G Wireless Gaming Router. With the iPod I can connect to the router, get an IP address (either DHCP or Static) and even browse through the menu on the router, but I can't connect to the internet.
    With a DHCP IP address the iPod give the error "Not connected to the internet" with the static IP address it takes a long time when trying to connect to a website but then it gives the error "server stopped responding".
    Clearly the issue is in some setting in the router. I've tried setting up a filter so that the iPod will always have access based on MAC address. I've tried changing the various wireless connection settings, all to no avail. I would greatly appreciate some guidence here.

  • After downloading IOS 8.0.2 I can not connect to the internet, any solutions?

    After downloading IOS 8.0.2 I can not connect to the internet, any solutions?

    It is not the wording but the lack of detail.
    The iPhone connects to both the phone network (3G, LTE, etc) and to WiFi networks.  Which one (or both) are you having issues with?
    If it is the phone network, go to Settings->Cellular and see if Cellular data is turned on globally AND for the apps you wish to use.
    If it is a WiFi network, go to Settings->Wi-Fi and see if you are connected to a network.  If so, touch the circled "i" next to the network name and see that you have a valid IP address, etc. (take a screen shot and post it if you don't know what to look for).

  • Hello my iphone 3g can not connect to home network via wifi

    Hello to all, with my iphone 3g can not connect to home network via wifi. This only happens if I apply protection to the network. Unprotected my Iphone connects fine. Obviously the password to write error-free. I can not figure out what depends on this factor, however, another iphone connects fine. Help me please.

    I have a similar,but slightly different problem. My iphone 4 recgonizes my home wifi and shows it under Settings, but will not access it, no signal shown, just 3G.  It will access other wifi signals.  My wife's iphone works fine, as does an ipad and macbook.  This is new for my iphone, about 2-3 days.
    Help!  I reset network settings and rebooted the router (Apple), no avail

  • Linksys Wireless Router BEFW11S4 - Shows connected, but I can not connect to the internet

    I have a Linksys Router hooked up to a cable RCA modem using Comcast Cable. There are 3 laptops that hook up wirelessly to the router and they have been working fine for the past two years. However, recently all three laptops can not connect to the internet for some reason. I checked with Comcast and they checked out the modem and tested it and it works fine. When I hook my laptop up to the modem with an ethernet cable, it works fine and I can get  on the internet. When I hook the modem up to the router and try to connect wirelessly it appears to be fine. It shows that the router is connected there is connectivity on all our laptops, however when I open a new internet explorer page to get on the internet, it does nothing. A blank page appears and the webpage will not load. Does anyone know how to fix this? Is it the router or the way it is setup in the admin page or could it be possibly something else? Thanks.

    As it shows connected under wireless ....check the Ip address under wireless network connection .....
    If it shows Ip 192.168.1.X ....with gateway 192.168.1.1 ..... try to pnig the gateway address ...
    If getting reply try going online ....
    Also disable the firewall first.....
