Connected to internet but won't connect to imessage.
Hi
The wi-fi service provider is imagine and e-mail, surfing the web all works fine. When i try to hook up imessage the ipod seems to search for ages and then states there might be a problem with my connection; even though i can still downlaod apps, e-mail and use the web. I read that i need to change my DSN number to 8888 and then try to re-connect. Once i do this i go back into DNS and put back in the original number!!!!!!
Does anyone know the solution and if i do need to change my DNS# connection what effect will this have on other applications.
thanks
It may be a DNS issue. In the address bar, enter just the following:
173.194.73.99
and hit enter
That's the direct IP address for one of Google's servers. If it's just a DNS issue, that should still take you directly to Google's home page. It's easy enough to fix if that's the case, but I'd rather not get into it until you can confirm if the above works.

I use my computer everyday in our office and have no issue connecting to the internet/wifi, but when my boss comes in and tries to connect it doesn't work. It tells her she has internet, but won't connect to the wifi. We've tried a few different tactics(the basic ones I've seen on here), but nothing seems to be working for us. My computer automatically connects to our wifi.
Just recently the Airport Extreme has started with the blinking amber colored light on the front, which I believe means something is wrong? Can anyone help us figure out what's going on and why we can't get my boss' computer to connect as it should?
Thank you!Here's an update:
Now the light is not blinking. It's a solid, consistant green. I don't know if it helps to narrow it down or anything, but I just figured I'd mention it. -

Connected to internet but won't open browsers
My 2006 Macbook is having issues connecting to the internet. I've both at home and at work using wifi and hard wiring.
Mail will open; send and recieve e-mail. However chrome and safari won't connect to any pages. It keeps timing out the connection.
I've done diagnositcs and the laptop connects to the internet. I've also checked the proxies.
Any suggestions? Currently running 10.7.5It may be a DNS issue. In the address bar, enter just the following:

My macbook pro says I am connected to the internet but won't load pages
my macbook pro says I am connected to the internet with a strong signal but it won't load any pages. The internet works fine on my iPhone and other computers so it must be an issue with my macbook. Any suggestions??
Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
See KB Articles: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1401 AirPort troubleshooting guide
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712 Using network locations in Mac OS X
============================
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.
Also, run the Airport Utility app which is located inside the Utilities folder.
=====================
If using Linsys router contact LinkSys Customer Support and/or post in their forums.
If using Apple's Airport, please re-post over in one of the AirPort Forums.

Why won't the Mac Mini connect to the internet but won't browse
Here's an odd one...I hook up the mini with an ethernet cable to the cable modem - it finds the settings on it's own - IP address, subnet - the whole thing. That's just great - go to the activity monitor - and look at the network - packets going and coming - but when I go to Safari...it tells me that I'm not connected to the internet...that's funny - according to the activity monitor and the network settings - I am.
What am I missing here? I've tried the network assistant - and even my laptop can't connect to the cable modem automatically from that either and it is a never fail - plug and play.
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.6)Try checking the settings in Safari. I'm not sure how safari work,(Don't have my mini yet) but if it's anything like firefox or IE 6, you should have a setting that says "Connection Setting" or something similar. Make sure it's set to auto detect or broadband or w/e your options may be. (Not sure exactly how safari works so i'm not sure what options you may have there)
If those settings are correct and nothing changes, another thing you can try is opening quicktime or visiting the itunes music store. If the internet works for these programs then you are defenately connected and it's a based safari problem. In fact, sometimes simply accessing the net through quicktime, itunes or windows media player (For windows) have re established my connection when it randomly stopped working with firefox. (I have no idea why) Browsers are weird sometimes so try opening quicktime and see how that works out. If quicktime or itunes connects, reopen safari and check to see if it made any change. If quicktime and itunes can't connect to the internet, then it might be a more complex issue regarding your network settings. (can't help at all there until I learn the mac ways of interneting)
Sorry I can't be a bigger help, like i said i don't have my mini yet (Or any other mac since my old g3 non tower :P). Hopefully just opening itunes or quicktime will be able to help you (not sure what it does but it works for me sometimes). Or maybe the settings on safari need to be reconfigured, and that could be ur fix.
Anyways Good luck,

My Macbook connects to Internet but won't open webpage
Thanks in advance for reading this. My Macbook shows various Airport connections but hasn't worked for a while unless it is directly plugged into my modem. I just set up a new modem and connect via Airport. The Airport signal shows that it is strong and connected, but I cannot open a web page. Any ideas? I'm not sure of my operating system--I bought this mac in June and I know I don't have the fancy new one. Thanks so much.
Your post is confusing. Your airport can show many signals but that doesn't mean you're on any of those networks - which should require entering some sort of password. Where I'm sitting now, my airport icon shows 9 networks of which 7 are locked and I'm on one and haven't tried the other that might be open. You need to join a network, which you can do by selecting that option from the drop down menu - if you know the password. (You can also open the Network system preference.)
The version of the OS doesn't matter much, though what the airport drop down menu shows will be different from 10.4 to 10.5.
In other words, it sounds as though you're confusing having a wireless signal with being connected to the wireless network and thus to the internet. -
Airport Shows Connected to Internet, but won't actually connect...
My wife is having trouble connecting to the internet on her Macbook Pro and I've tried everything I can think of to get it corrected, but nothing has worked yet. The airport wireless signal shows that she is connected to the interest and has full bars, but she is not able to access the internet or check her email (through mac mail). She is right now out of state, but has not been able to access the internet in the two places where she is (the interest is working because everyone else around her is accessing it fine).
I've done the following to try and correct this so far, with no luck:
- turned airport off, then back on after 10 seconds
- fully shutdown the computer, then restarting
- renewed DHCP Lease
- checked proxies to make sure nothing is selected
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? She has not downloaded or installed any new programs or even used the laptop in the last 48 hours. I've heard of this happening to people before, but the above solutions have not worked to fix this.
Many thanks in advance!Try this app, also:

MacBook connected to the Internet but won't load
I connected my MacBook Pro to the Internet, and I have the three wifi bars. However when I open Safari or Google Chrome it starts loading briefly but stops and then after a while says I'm not connected to the Internet even though it shows that I am.
HI,
In System Preferences > Network what does it say for the WiFi connection ?
Does it say Connected with a Green Blob ?
Does it list the Network/router name ?
Does the Status say Connected ?
If all these are True then go to System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Firewall tab
In Here is the Firewall On ?
If so then Unlock the padlock if required and go to the Options Button.
IS it allowing Signed Software ?
Is your Browser listed as an Allowed software item ?

Apple TV connects to internet but won't log into iTunes or show any icons
I have had my apple tv for just over a year, updating it with the most recent software all of the time. I recently moved across the country, and have since had trouble with my unit. I use my time capsule for creating a wireless network within my home, and it works fine for all of my other devices, so I know the problem is with the Apple TV.
When I tried connecting my apple tv it never left the Activation screen, so after an hour I skipped it and went to manual setup. The internet is connected fine, but when I go to turn on home sharing or sign into my itunes, it either tells me my login is invalid (not true becuase it works on all other apple devices) or that itunes is unavailable. I tried to reset the unit to its factory settings but was told, again, that it could not connect to the apple network. I went out and purchased a cord to connect my apple tv to my computer and did the restore that way, but still have had no luck. When I reconnected it, all that showed up again was the computers and settings buttons and there was no hope of connection to itunes or home sharing.
Six hours later, I have done everythng from unplugging the time capsule, using another internet network, changing tvs, unplugging my apple tv, setting my location, etc and NOTHING works. I'm ready to scream. I'm a devout apple coustomer but I think its outrageous that beause something is wrong with their system I should have to pay for them to help me. Does anyone have any tips?! I'm desperiate.
Oh, there is no apple store within an hour of where I am, so going in to get help is not an option.Morning Ratchety,

Says connected to internet but won't work!
My curve 8520 says it is connected to my mobile network and my wi-fi but fails to load any internet pages or the facebook app. However, I have just successfully received an e-mail... help!
Hi there!
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your wireless service provider for formal support.
Good luck!

I have a iPad 2 I brought it yesterday and it has an update for iOS 6.1 but it won't let me download it. It keeps saying your no longer connected to the Internet but I'm connected to my wifi. Can you help please
Hi Blueandpink,
If you are running iOS 4, you will need to update the iPad via iTunes on your computer (can't do OTA updates unless you have iOS 5 or higher).
If you have a first generation iPad, unfortunately you won't be able to update to iOS 6 (iOS 5 is the highest you can update to on the original iPad).
If you are on an iPad 2, 3, or 4th generation with iOS 5 and it still isn't working, try holding down on both the Sleep AND Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds (ignore the red slider button). Keep holding it until the Apple Logo appears. When you see the Apple logo on the black screen, let go of the buttons. This “reset” fixes a lot of iPad issues and might work to resolve the update issue. Try updating again.
Hope this helps!
