Can't get on internet with 3g or wifi

I have a greyed out wifi on my phone and have done a full restore, reset network settings etc. Iw will not even connect to the internet via 3G, says in appstore 'unable to connect to app store' when in safari it states 'connection to the internet has been lost'
I also cannot access email....
help please I have read about the greyed out wifi which i think may be a hardware issue but i didn't think it would affect the whole internet?

Can't get on internet with Safari 3.2 or Firefox 3.0.5

Hello all,
I am totally frustrated! I cannot get on the internet with either of the above browers except when I get on some neighbor's network. I cannot get on by just using an ethernet cable. This is terrible. OK . . . I have done the following (in no particular order)
1. cleared history
2. reset Safari
3. uninstalled Flashplayer 9
4. installed Flashplayer 10
5. emptied cache
6. setup and tried another user
7. uninstalled Safari
8 installed Safari again
9. unchecked fraudulent sites
When I check the system preferences, it says I am connect to the internet. Too bad this isn't true!
I have Earthlink.
Where is the report I see people posting?
Thanks,
Tricia

I seem to be talking to myself here, BUT I think I have fixed my problem. I tried everything suggested in this forum; then I decided to try a different modem. Earthlink was supposed to send me a new modem if I paid the shipping. However, when I opened the box, I found a refurbished modem which I have been trying for weeks. I set up the old one, and now things are working. I even got my new Airport Express set up and working for the moment! Who knows if this will last, but I thought I would post it as a suggestion for people to check out their modem.

Can't get on internet with Safari 8.0

Ever since upgrading to OS X 10.10.1 Safari no longer works properly. I only have sporadic internet access. It's like the computer doesn't send a signal to the modem. Modem doesn't poll (is that the word?) Lights don't flash on the modem the way they used to. (They used to flash fast, now they're mostly just on with occasional flashes.) Network system preference shows I'm sometimes connected and sometimes not, and have to tell it over and over again to always access the same wifi signal and always use the same password. Mail application is also sporadic, sometimes connecting and sometimes not. I've restarted everything multiple times (modem, airport base station, computer), unplugged everything and restarted, restarted in safe mode. I've run disk utility and everything is fine. I've run TechTool utility and everything is fine. Nothing helps. iPhone and iPad seem to connect on my wifi network although slowly. I don't know if this is an OS problem, a computer hardware problem, or an internet provider problem. I know this is kind of a disjointed post, but any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Any change?
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Any change?
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Photos, if it's checked. Any change?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

[solved]Can't get IP address with DHCP over wifi

I try to connect my laptop to a network via wifi (WPA). I'm connected and the router also says that there is a computer connected to wifi. But then DHCP time out. The ethernet connection is working fine and I have no problem to get an IP address with it. I have no idea what is wrong...

Ok it was in fact my fault. I did configure iwconfig like with a WEP connection, and it was WPA... Strangely it was not rejected, so I assumed it was connected...

Yes you can. All Ipad's are unlocked and can be used any where in the world. Buy the AT&T version which is GSM in other countries

After checking the "manage connections" option it said my wif-fi was on but instead of having the usual tick it had this symbol "-" Can anyone guide me in the way to fix this?

You need to call Orange and ask them to make certain that your BlackBerry Data plan is on your account.

I can not get mobile internet from teltra working on my new Mac pro 13 any one can help me as telstra asked me to contact apple as they can not fix it Thank you in advance

Can some-one let me know how to get mobile internet with teltra working on mac pro.
Teltra could help me as they can't fix it and asked me to contact apple. The mobile device is working on all other computer (windows) but not Mac Pro
Thank you in advance

By contact Apple they mean AppleCare over the phone. This is the user forums, so no one from Apple will be able to assist you. AppleCare's phone number is (800)-APL-CARE (800-275-2273) for the United States.

Resetting Airport Extreme disabled my home network. Now when i attempt to get to internet with iPad, or iPhone, I see an Earthlink (ISP) window with message: The internet connection is currently in use by another computer (nun.nn.n.nn)

Resetting Airport Extreme disabled my home network. Now when i attempt to get to internet with iPad, or iPhone, I see an Earthlink (ISP) window with message: The internet connection is currently in use by another computer (nun.nn.n.nn) Enter your DSL Account logon psassword to switch the internet connection to this computer. If I do that, other messages follow. I am usually able to switch connection, but can have only one device on internet at a time. Tried to correct problem using Airport Utility, but failed.

Unfortunately, there is mass confusion about whether a device might be a modem or a modem/router since the terms are mixed up all the time. Even though a device might have only one Ethernet port, it can still be a router.
If this is your "modem".......
http://reviews.cnet.com/routers/netopia-cayman-3341-router/4507-3319_7-30484785. html
It is not a modem.....it is a modem/router. If that is the case, then the AirPort Extreme is not the only router on your network....it is one of two routers, and it should be configured to operate in Bridge Mode.
Does this device appear to be your "modem"?

IPad 2 and iPhone 4 - can't get an internet connection while tethered

I have an iPad 2 and an iPhone 4. Been using the iPhone to tether my iPad for a few weeks and all of a sudden when it's tethered I can't get an internet connection. Both iPhone and iPad are updated with latest software.

Hello Emma I presume your in the UK.
In the UK PPPoA is the standard PPPoE is not supported by many ISP's.
On your Mac just use DHCP in your Network settings. Do not use PPPoE.
Then login to your router's web configuration page. http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1. Admin and Password are the usual login details for netgear routers.
use the following details
PPPoA
VC-Mux
Chap authentication
vpi and vci are 38,0
and of course use your isp username and password.
Post edited. I just noticed you had already figured out the correct details.

I purchased an ablum thru itunes on my phone and it says i purchased the songs on itunes but when i go on my music it says i have to repurchase all the songs how can i get the songs with out havin to pay again

Whether you can redownload music depends upon what country that you in. If you are using your computer's iTunes then does music show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (on your phone you might be able to redownload media via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app) ? If music shows there, but not that album, then check to see if it's hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
If you aren't in a country when you can redownload music and it's still on your phone then you should be able to copy it over from the phone via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.

How can I get safe internet for protect my phone and PC

How can I get safe internet for protect my phone and PC. l lose all internet account I've three year. i lose my phone all app for a day even I safe all informating and apps in ICloud but I lose all my phone information . Like I have new phone and I do not have all my date . For new phone i can not use over 10 apps for my phone

You can't. But if you backed up your computer prior to wiping it out, you should be able to restore your iTunes library, contacts, photos, etc. from that backup. Once you do, you can set the phone up again and just sync everything from your library back to it.
If you didn't back the computer up either, you can transfer items purchased on the phone into iTunes, and if you set up at least one contact in whatever application you sync your contacts to on the computer, it will offer to merge the address books on the first sync, saving those. Any media you'd acquired from sources other than the iTunes store will have to be re-downloaded from the source or re-ripped.
The iPhone is NOT a backup device.

Can access Apple TV via airplay, but can't get to internet or iMac from Apple TV

Can access Apple TV via airplay, but can't get to internet or iMac from Apple TV. Whenever I try to put my info in it says to try later. When I test network it says network time has not been set. It has worked previously.

Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.
If you are still having problems, the following article(s) may help you.

Can I get a MBP with 32 GB of RAM?

Can I get a MBP with 32 GB of RAM?: I know someone is going to give me a 1-word reply: "NO".
But what I want to encourage is a bit of a discussion here. Why not 32 gb RAM? Isn't it about time? It can't be the price or?? Can't the software handle it?
I keep things a long time--- 10yr+ PBG4; 5 year MBP-13" --- and that's great when I could (and have) upgraded with more RAM, SSD's etc. But today's Macs are basically sealed boxes like an iPad I believe (talking MacBOOK / MBP's here, not iMacs)(although they are fairly tightly sealed nowadays, too!). So I really have to purchase thinking "What will I need in 2020 or 2022?" -or- "How do I win the lottery?"
Any comments appreciated -- I was planning to upgrade my mid-2010 MBP from 8 gb to 16 gb RAM (yes, you can… just this one model of that age) --- but perhaps save the $150 and put it towards a new one--- then again, $150 is only about 5 hours of an Watch so might just do that anyway…
Thanks,
Steve

I believe this IS a problem -- it is an issue I have about not being able to run things without enough RAM.
And I think "No you can't" is not a very helpful answer at all! In fact I prefaced my inquiry / problem with my first sentence thinking someone like you would give just such a reply---- was trying to avoid that!
There might be companies out there like OWC or Crucial or I don't know who -- that could / might / might some day provide increased RAM for existing MBP's just like for my MBP 2010 that is spec'd at 8 gb max RAM but there is a 16 gb solution out there.
So if anyone else would like to try to solve this problem for me --
Best regards,
Steve S.

Virtually any DVD burner that can connect to your Mac will work. They start at $40 on Amazon.
