Connected, but still no internet

I can often get internet on my ipod touch while i'm on my college campus. but this week, i've been having trouble. i can connect to the wi-fi network, but safari still does not work. it only shows blank webpages and gives me a message that i'm not connected, though the symbol at the top shows i have perfect connection. i've tried restoring it, no good. i've tried connecting to other wi-fi networks, but it still does not show. any application i have on my ipod touch which needs internet connection does not work for me. is there anything i can do to fix this? i tried to contact apple support, but they recommended i purchase some kind of support option, which i prefer not to purchase.

There's a couple of simple things you can do to try to get this working again.
When you are connected, tap Settings > WiFi and then tap the blue > next to the network name. You will see your IP address which should be anything but 169.x.x.x. If it is 169.x.x.x, you are not actually connected to the network as you have not received an IP address from the router. So, some simple things to try:
1) Turn WiFi off. Turn it back on and try to connect to the network. Look at your IP address again.
2) If you appear to be connected and your IP address looks OK, tap on DHCP, scroll down, and tap on Renew Lease
3) And finally, reset your network settings. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. After your iPod restarts, connect to the network and check your settings again.
If the network you are connecting to is one that you control, reboot your router as well.

  • Macbook Pro 10.7.5 internet will not work. HELP!!! Ethernet and WIFI both say connected but still no internet.

    I have a macbok pro running 10.7.5. My internet has always worked on it but I decided to try changing my router set up - the set up didn't work so I reverted back to the original setup that had previously worked.
    Now, I have an Imac running tiger - I can connect to the internet via WIFI or Built In Ethernet with no problem.
    When I try to connect to the internet on the Macbook Pro running osx 10.7.5 my internet will not work
    Safari Says (You are not connected to the internet) and Google Chrome says (Page is Unavailbe) and lists some trouble shooting options that I tried.
    When I go to System prefrences > Network my WIFI and Ethernet both say "Connected" and have a green light next to them.
    I have tryed deleting the connections and starting new ones and I have even tried deleting the Location and starting a new one.
    Nothing works - no matter what I do, even know the WIFI or ETHERNET says Connected, the internet will not work on the Macbook Pro.
    The Internet works fine on my Imac and I have tried everything such as swaping cables but there doesn't seem to be a problem with my internet
    or with my router - it all works fine with my Imac running Tiger.
    Can anyone help me get my internet working on my Macbook Pro again? Any ideas?

    Hello ASGR.SYS amd WahWar,
    I tried both of your suggestions and neither of them worked.
    ASGR SYS - When I tried it your way i got a message saying that the that the diagnostic couldn't repair the problem. It shows the thw WIFI, WIFI SETTINGS, NETWORK SETTINGS, ISP, all turn green. But the Internet and Sever stay red. The thing is, there is nothing wrong with my internet connection as I can connect to the internet on my Imac running tiger, both through ethernet and wireless. When I go to System Prefrences and Ntwork the WIFI and ETHERNET both say "Connected" even know I can't veiw any websites.suggestion
    When I tried WAHWAR's suggestion I get a message that says cannot connect to the WIFI network and then it lists your typical trouble shooting tips. Like Make sure you entered the right password and make sure you are in range of the wireless network
    Again, just to confoirm - My internet connection is working fne both the WIFI and the Ethernet. When I use it on my IMAC running tiger, everything connects as it should and it works perfectly. But when I try to connect with the MacBook Pro, Even know the connections in the Network settings window show up as "connected" the MacBook still seems to think that my internet connection isn't working at all.
    I have tried creating new connections, creating new locations, and I have even gone as far to reset my router and start completely from scratch. The result so far has been the same - the IMAC running tiger will connect - my blackberry and iphone will connect - but the macbook pro running lion will not connect..
    I'd apprechiate any other suggestions

  • Airport connects, but still no internet activity...

    Heya. This is my first post so be gentle with me.
    I've recently had an issue with my Powerbook G4 12 inch where I could connect to an open wireless network (no WEP password) and my internet would function fine, until the past three days when Airport says it's connected but I can't browse the internet, use BitTorrent etc.
    Now when I open Firefox, it doesn't go immediately to a "page cannot be displayed" dialog, it just keeps looking for the page for a few minutes. Also, when I run network diagnostics, everything is green until "internet".
    I don't have access to the modem or router base station.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    I just posted my own experience in the forum "internet, networking and Power Mac G4" which is the same as the one of nofryzone. In that discussion, I think Lawrence Kahan has the answer to our problem. I will still have to try his proposed solution because it will entail changing the firmware of the linksys wrt54g router. In order to connect, I asked the help of [email protected] and they made me configure my airport connection manually placing the values that Lawrence Kahan wrote in his post. You will have to open system preferences and click on network. Configure Airport settings manually and enter the IP address 192.168.1.55, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, router 192.168.1.1. For the DNS server, you will have to get the value of DNS1 & DNS2 of your router and put them in the field for DNS server.
    At least for now I am able to connect but through a static IP address and not through DHCP.

  • Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the internet by ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well.

    Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the Internet by Ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no Internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well. Could the other wireless laptops being used in my flat be affecting my connection. what can I do to get connected, keep connected. Thanks for any ideas out there.

    My network connected for a few hours then went back to timing out. I have not changed anything. However there four additional laptop users in my family who do not seem to be having any problems using their wireless connection. Could their film and music downloads be causing the timing out of my connection and if so is there a way I could prioritizes my computer or limit their use?

  • Full bars, 3g connected, but cant access internet

    please help me, i'm using TELKOMSEL (indonesian) i have data plans, and it's 4gb, the thing is, as i said Full bars, 3g connected, but cant access internet, i tried to access google using safari, chrome, but still the same message, network not available, those things.... PLEASE HELP ME..

    It sounds like a poor data connection. I get the same thing when I try to use AT&T here in my house. It shows 4G and 3 bars but I get little to no data at all. If that is what is happening to you, you can try another carrier if there is one.
    Here, I can get LTE at my house and about 10-15Mbps on T-Mobile. Switching carriers can make the difference.

    edit the hosts file on your computer and remove any lines that contain gs.apple.com. Disable your antivirus and firewall.

  • I've tried it all but still slow internet

    I've been suffering from very slow connection speeds for months now. At first I thought it was my DSL ISP so I switch to Comcast HSI and it's a little faster but still nowhere near acceptable. I just got off the line with Apple support and I was stunned by the lack of imformation I received! My Apple Care subscription was a total waste of money. So I'm hoping someone here has a nugget of wisdom that will help me out.
    Here's what I know:
    HSI line out of modem is good. Plugging a PC into the same modem and cable gets 7mbps download speeds. My dual 1.8 G5 running 10.4.3 gets around 850kbps with the same cable and modem.
    Problem exists whether I use Airport or ethernet. I am currently using ethernet to the modem to keep things simple.
    I've zeroed out the drive and reinstalled the OS. (not fun)
    I've trashed all caches.
    I've tried with and without DNS addresses in the network preferences.
    Flushed Safari and reset Safari.
    Firefox and Explorer get the same slow speeds.
    Logging in as new test user gets same speeds.
    Tried lookupd -flushcache in terminal
    Tried with and without Broadband Optimizer
    Ran Onyx
    Ran Disk Warrior
    ipv6 on or off no difference. Currently off.
    All proxys are off
    Reset modem, unplugged all cables, zapped PRAM, unplugged and replugged a thousand times.
    Repaired permissions at every update.
    There is more but I can't remember them all...
    I'm hoping this rings a bell with someone and they remember how they solved it. I love Apple and I've been Mac-Only since around 1998 but I'm really disappointed with their support performance today.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Yes that is indeed slow and inline with your previous testing.
    Couple things, you have dual 10/100/1000 ethernet ports in that computer right? I am not familiar with the insides yet to know if they are built-in's or if they are on an expansion card.
    It is not likely that the PC laptop and your Mac are using the same brand of ethernet chips so there is an avenue for testing. Nor is it likely he may also have had gigabit ethernet capable ports.
    The cable-modem wouldn't likely be a gigabit ethernet equipped unit but its worth checking its specs.
    What I would want to do is three fold.
    1. The ethernet ports on devices are usually auto-sensing for speed. However problems do occur in networks with some devices not playing well together in the sandbox so we have to force one or more of the devices to use a specific speed and what the call a duplex setting.
    If for sake of an example that comcast modem only had a 10 megabit/second half-duplex port for you to plug in, if your computer was through auto-sensing goof-up talking 100 megabit at full-duplex duplex or 1000 megabit at full-duplex ethernet or even 10 megabit at full-duplex to that device you have communication error. At the correct speed but wrong duplex setting you can end up with framing errors and late collisions with devices.
    2. You have dual network ports most likely on your computer. It would be worth a test to see if you can disable/shut one of them down and let the OS only have to handle the one.
    3. If you have a plug in expansion card with ethernet on it, it would be worth a test if the two you have are built-ins and still not working. Also, and much easier would be to see if a friend or work has another Mac you can use for one day as a test to see if it works. If it does, that pinpoints it to something specifically unique about your computer, not the OS, still perhaps a setting in the OS, but I would focus more on the hardware differences (your network controllers). If you use the same cables and it works on the other Mac then you've eliminated that as well.
    Hopefully lots of new ideas to ponder.
    I also have some commands you can type in that can speed up your maximum throughput on the internet but while they can give you another 100-200KB/sec on downloads, we need a working base connection.

  • I can't get online through firefox (this keeps coming up THE PROXY SERVER IS REFUSING CONNECTIONS) but can through internet explorer?

    As I said in the question when I click on the firefox link on the desktop this is what comes up (THE PROXY SERVER IS REFUSING CONNECTIONS Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections) but I can get connected through Internet Explorer. I have uninstalled firefox and reinstalled firefox with no difference.

    I tried all that stuff and none of it helped. I can't load any of the google applications in firefox now. They pop up with this screen.
    This Connection is Untrusted
    You have asked Firefox to connect securely to mail.google.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
    Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
    What Should I Do?
    If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.
    mail.google.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because it was issued by an invalid CA certificate. (Error code: sec_error_inadequate_key_usage)
    Now I tried a couple of other sites and they all seemed to work okay, and if necessary I could click understand the risks and still access the site, but no go with google. Considering I use my google account for my calendar and gmail a lot, I am highly disappointed with this new update. I hate using IE and really prefer to use Firefox.

  • After downloading last update itunes and safari will not connect but mozilla and internet explorer does running windows vista

    Itunes and safari will not connect after installing the last update, but mozilla and internet explorer does.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes, and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Low speed connection, but still have input history.

    Hi there,
    We have done some tests in our business to see the performance difference between "low speed connection" being enabled and disabled for a system, both from a network perspective, and from a performance perspective on Citrix servers.
    We have determined that the 'input history' feature doesn't cause much performance impact, but a lot of the other 'high-speed' features like images and tool tips do.
    We would like to be able to have "low speed connection" for our system, but still enable 'input history'. Is there any way this can be achieved, such as through INI or registry changes?
    Thanks,
    Michael.

    I raised a message with SAP, and they responded saying that this is not possible

  • Blazing fast internet connection, but still taking 4 hours to download a movie on Apple tv?

    This apple tv has been nothing but a huge pain in the *** so far. I started watching a movie that I rented and then it stops 20 minutes into the movie and says it will need between 3 and 7 hours to download the rest and be ready to play. ***?

    vazandrew -
    I have seen you make several posts on different threads always pushing istumbler and namebench to help solve this problem.  While I do appreciate the help, it seems like you must work either for one of those companies or for Apple.  I own 4 Apple TV 3's in three different locations (my office, home, beach house).  I am having this problem at all three.  I too had ATV 2's before and had no problems with downloading movies/buffering.  The only common denominator for all three locations is they are all connected wirelessly through an Apple Time Capsule and are using high-speed cable Internet.  I am using my ISPs DNS in all three locations, have little to no interference, and have minimum internet speeds of 15 mbps.  Through process of elimination, the problem has to lie either with Apple or with my internet service provider.  The funny thing is I don't have internet problems with anything else.  I realize that an ethernet connection would make everything better, but that is not feasible.  Aren't the ATV's designed to be used wirelessly?  If it is a problem of "high traffic time" with my cable in the evenings, do you know of any way of getting my ISP to improve this?  Otherwise, it seems to be an Apple problem.  I will note that the iTunes store has gone offline several times in the last couple of weeks.  Again, this has never happened to me before.  Any help is much appreciated.  I am a devoted Apple user, and this is the first time I have been this frustrated.  Why pay for the fastest internet possible if my Apple TV is still not going to work?
