Computer won't get on Internet, shows its connected but its not.

When I try to get on the Internet it won't let me, the assistance doesn't work. Other computers can get on just fine. I can't get on the Internet no matter what wireless network I try to connect to.

Once you are connected to a network and launch your web browser what happens?

Has anyone else had a problem with closing their Macbook Pro (latest model) and after you open it back up the internet shows as connected but won't pull up websites whatsoever?

Occasionally, I will close my Macbook Pro when I'm not using it, and when I reopen it my wireless network shows as being connected, but the internet will not function whatsoever. I tried disabling the WIFI and re-enabling it but the problem persisted. Ultimately I have to just restart then everything works fine. I even tested my cell phone (which uses my home WIFI also) and was able to pull up websites, which isolates the problem to the computer.
Seems like after the computer goes on Standby or Sleep, it only has the trouble immediately after. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much but none of that helped. It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive. I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
Thank you for your help and replying to this. Guess I made my own issue!

My computer won't sync my iPhone, says its not authorized.

Recently I got a new iPhone because my old ones lock button was broken. I restored the new iPhone from my old ones backup on my computer. Now when I sync it to get all of my music back, a window pops up and tells me it can't be synchronized because this computer is not authorized to, then it tells me how to authorize it
So I do that, click authorize this computer and a window pops up saying "this computer is already authorized. Including this computer, you have authorized 5 out of your available 5 authorizations" or something
So why can't I sync my phone then? And why does it say I have authorized 5 when I've only ever used 2 different computers?
Please help
My iTunes is up to date and I have deleted the SC folder
Signed out and signed back in, no change

Help! I have the same problem. I have been watching Boston Legal Season 5 for the past two weeks. Downloaded it to my iMac and then to my iPad mini and then hooked the mini up to my TV via an HDMI adapter. Everything went fine for the first seven episodes. Now it will not play any episodes on the TV. They play fine on the iPad Mini. When I try to play them on the TV, it says "content not authorized" and tells me to log into my iTunes account. Strangely, it displays my Apple ID and simply asks for my password. Unfortunately, it displays MY OLD APPLE ID which I have never used on this iPad, and which has since been changed, so I can't even log into iTunes. The Apple ID on my iPad Mini in Settings, etc., is my new Apple ID, not my old one. This iPad has never used the old Apple ID. And there is no way to change it. In both the iCloud and iTunes & App Store settings, my new Apple ID appears. When I open the iTunes Store App, it tries to sell me Boston Legal Season 5 AGAIN!!!!! When I check my Apple ID by logging into iTunes, it immediately asks me for my credit card info and then tells me it is out of date. It isn't. Is that why Apple has blocked me? It wants new credit card information so it can charge me AGAIN for something I already paid for? I'm done with Apple downloads. Back to DVDs from Amazon.

TS1559 My iPhone 4s shows does connect to my wifi router but then after a while it shows still connected but does not open a page. I have to turn wifi off and on again to get the job done. it is annoying.

I am using iPhone 4s. I can connect to my home wifi network but it works briefly, then whilr it shows connected with good signal strength, but I can not open a page in safari. I have to turn off the wifi and turn it on again for connection. This goes on and on. Very annoying. Please can anyone solve this problem?

Hi ,
thx for the feedback,to clarify my question :
1-i am able to connect to any wifi network in airports, public places , my home , office , etc.o to get in is no problem.
2-I can also log in into a specific website eg: was in Paris 2 days ago and could log in into the portal of a wifi provider.
3-But when i have to log in providing an e-mail address or other info , i get into a loop where i can not get into the next page but i do get always redirected to the page asking all the info.
This is not only at an airport , i do have it also with my own internet service provider , even if i want to log in from my home into their webmail site i get into this loop where after putting in all the inlog data i get that same page back every time.( i can get mail through my normal mailbox , no problems here)
I do have indeed OS 6 and it is an iPad 2.I do not have the problem with an iPhone 4 S when i use wifi and here i also do have os 6 !!

Airport shows being connected but will not connect to internet

Airport will not connect to internet yet shows me as connected.
When and if I do get connected, I will loose the connection and unable to access the internet.
This has happened using several different wireless locations.
Please help as to what my settings should be or how to correct the problem

What debugging steps have you taken?
Connecting to your wireless network and connecting to the Internet are two different parts of the connection process.
If you open your Network preferences panel does it show you have an IP address of the form 169.x.x.x?

Upgraded to lion now my wi-fi loses connection after sleep mode, it still shows as connected but does not go out to the internet. Please help

After I upgraded to lion I have been having constant issue with my wi-fi after sleep mode. I close the lid and when I reopen I open safari and cannot connect to the internet. Wi-fi is on and I am connected to my router, but it doesnt seem to be on the internet. Now how I resolve this issue is turn of the wi-fi and turning it back on, then i am back on the net. this is mos-def a bug i have never had that problem with snow leopard. Please assist or provide hot-fix

I have the same issue and have to cycle the wireless modem on the laptop. Doesn't matter if I'm on a preferred netowrk or no, or if I stay on the same network or move. I come out of sleep, I have to cycle the modem.
It's not life threatening, or anything, but it's a hassle. I didn't have the issue with Snow Leopard.

I have (2) I-pads in the house and after coming home from a long weekend both show that they are connected in the settings wi-fi but both will not run any wi-fi programs. I have Mac computer that works fine and my I-phoneG-3 works fine, all which worked ok before we left for the long weekend. I have turned off the I-Pads to reboot and still does not connected. Need Help!

Try:
- Powering off an then back on your router
- On the iPad reset network settings:Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.

First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
Still no joy, see these.

I can not get the iPad to connect to the internet thru the router it shows the modum but will not connect

I can not get the iPad to connect to the internet thru the router it shows the modum but will not connect it keeps saying choose a netwokand the IP Address it automaticaly puts in is wrong?

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
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.
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

Computer won't get past the blue screen...

During class today I decide to install new updates to my computer, but class ended before everything had downloaded so I just closed the screen thinking nothing of it. Now my computer won't get past the blue screen and it just keeps reloading and reloading. Help?

You must have damaged your OS installation by putting the machine to sleep at the wrong moment. To fix that, you need to reinstall, but first you need to back up your data, if you haven't already done so. Have you?

Computer won't get past grey start up screen after install

Okay - I made a stupid mistake. I started the installation process - it was taking a very long time so I decided to quit and free up some more space before trying again. When I quit it wouldn't let me go back to my old version - I think I was on 10.3.9. So I installed 10.5 - and it said it installed successfully. I restarted and the computer won't get past the gray screen. I let it go for 30 minute the first time, 15 the second time, and about an hour the third time. Won't go any futher. Any ideas?
Thanks,
-Brad

same thing happened to me (you need to read all the posts as someone will have had the exact problem as you).
any way,
1. re-installl 10.5 from your leopard disk. (put disk in restart holding c key down etc). do not install OS just yet.
2. run disk utility (it does not hurt-click on options button)- repair both disk and permissions
3. run 10.5 installer (archive)
4. download 10.5.2 combo from apple (that is if you can easily find it!)
5. run that install
6 it will restart two or so times
7. total time is 20 mins or so. most of that is in repairs form #2.

Computer won't get past OS screen after unlock, even if I am still using 2 cores

>Phenom II x2 555 BE
>MSI 870a-g54
So I decided to unlock my CPU and have been experiencing a problem. I recently found out that if I even have "unlock core" function enabled in BIOS, even while running it with two cores, the computer won't get past the windows screen. With four cores enabled it obviously does the same. No matter what I try I cannot get past the Windows screen while having the unlock core function enabled.
My BIOS isn't on the latest version. I tried flashing it but I couldn't start it up even after flashed, it gave me the same problem described above. I reflashed it to the version I'm on now and it works, but I still can't unlock. What gives?
Any help would be appreciated.
TL;DR: PC will run as Phenom ii X2 555, but not as Phenom ii x4 B55. Can't get past windows screen.

you need to provide more vcore to the cpu
first try to enable 1 core (core number 3) (disable core number 2 and 4) and increase some vcore. If booted then you have a good core.
Then try this with other core (core number 4) (disable core number 2 and 3), if booted then your both cores are unlockable and are good core (i.e, not defective)
then you can try all cores at same time with some voltage increase (vcore)

I opened my computer and the whole top only shows web search, I can not find my bookmarks and I tried reloading firefox and still nothing but tab bar

Question
I opened my computer and the whole top only shows web search, I can not find my bookmarks and I tried reloading firefox and still nothing but tab bar. Tried f10, alt, nothing! Can I reload an old firefox? There is no firefox logo at top. When I rt click at top I see hide toolbar and leave full screen. To the right there is only a home sign. How can I get my BOOKMARKS ??????? I so need them and hate what ever this is that now shows up on firefox.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
iOS: How to back up
Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For without iTunes
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
