Connected to WiFi but can not get the internet
I'm really hoping that someone can help. I bought my Ipad yesterday but am unable to connect to the internet. I have connected to my WiFi and have full signal strenght but when I go on Safari it tells me that I'm not connected. I have tried changing some of my settings but can only get as far as the message 'Cannot open page - Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding' I also have the same problem with my Iphone and Ipod touch, I have never tried to sort these as don't need the internet on them. I have tried updating my Itunes and Ipad, both are now fully updated. My internet is working fine on any computer that is not apple... Please help, im pulling my hair out here.
Many thanks
What do you see if you go to Settings > WiFi and touch the ">" next to your network name?
If you touch the ">" you will get the details of your network connection. Things like the type of IP address allocation (DHCP, Static, Bootp), assigned IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router address, DNS addresses, etc.
Please report what you see there.
Also please identify the make, model and type of router you have.
Do you know what kind of security you are using on your router? None, WEP, WPA, WPA2?
When you said, "I have tried changing some of my settings", what did you do?

MY APPLE TV SHOWS THAT iT IS CONNECTED TO MY WIFI, BUT CAN NOT ACCESS THE INTERNET
my apple tv found my wifi, but can not access the internet??
I have been on the phone with Apple, done all of the trouble shooting they have recomended. When I attempt to connect it to the internet I get a message reading "your apple tv is connected to your wi-fi but cannot connect to the internet. I have plugged the modem right into the apple tv and it still won't work. This is the second device I've used. (apple gave me a new one after the first didn't work). I just thought there might be someone out there who had the same issue and knows how to resolve it.

I really need help, my ipod shows to connect to the WiFi but then it will not let me use the interent it says no connection but according to my screen i have WiFi connection, i am very confused an i would really appriciate it if someone could help me sort out this problem so i can start using my iPod for work again.
Even though the iPod shows as been connected, it might not have actually received a valid IP address via DHCP from your Wi-Fi access point or router. Head to Settings -> Wi-Fi and tap the > next to the network you are connected. If 169.xxx.xxx.xxx is listed for an IP Address, then your iPod did not receive a valid IP address. To correct this you can reboot your router by unplugging it from power for about 30 seconds.
It wouldn't hurt to also reset your iPod. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

TS1398 my ipad is connected to my wifi, but can't access the internet.
When I am in the same room as my wireless router, my Ipad accesses the internet correctly. When I go into a room where my Ipad and laptop couldn't reach my router, I installed an extender. Now, my laptop and my wife's Ipad can access the internet, but my Ipad can't. What should I do?
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

Connected to WIFI but can't get online
I am one of the many it seems.. but nothing works
Yhis happened suddenly:
iPod says I am connected to my home network but I get a not connected error message when I try to get online.
Did the reboot routine.. forget site and re connect..
2 PC's on the network are doing fine.
One PC got a message that there is a device on the network causing a problem.
HELPOscarl,
You are on a iMac forum. There are forums for iPods. I would recommend starting here then reposting so you can get the assistance you need. Look on the left hand column and you will see all the different models of iPods. Choose yours and then you will be on the right path.
Also if the iPod is new you can call AppleCare or you can visit an Apple Store for help.

Users of Windows 7 Computers connected to Domain but can not get Internet Randomly
After crash of DC, I have replaced the domain controller server 2008 with another machine but with same name. I got trust relationship issue, which I resolved by disjoining and rejoining. After this I am facing below mentioned issue on computers randomly.
High Privileges users have no issue with internet access. Low privileges users can not access internet on workstations randomly. Users login properly, all group policy settings applied to them. but internet does not work with them using Internet Explorer
and Google Chrome. All pings work fine. I viewed the proxy settings by command line as proxy settings are disabled for low privileges users. It was correct but still internet was not working. While over Firefox by adding manually proxy(not set
through group policy), internet works.
When I tried to login through a new user which has not logged in over affected machine. Internet works. After logging off by new user and logging on old users (already created profiles), internet starts working for them too. I am afraid may this trick does
not work on other machines.
Now I want to know, if above mentioned trick does not work what should I do to activate the internet. What is the root cause of this issue.Hi,
Did you mean you set the same proxy, high privileges user could keep connection and low privileges user drop connection randomly? At the same time, Firefox also could keep connection, right?
Please try to reset Winsock and DNS for a test on problematic computer. Open command prompt with Administrator Previleges, then type the following commands.
netsh int reset
ipconfig /flushdns
Besides that, update the network driver for test.

MacBook is connected to wifi but unable to surf the internet
I have a 1st generation white MacBook and I have been connected to my home wireless network for a few months now without any issues.
Today for the first time I took my MacBook to my friend's place to work on a project. I connected to his home wireless network, which was not password protected (hence I did not need to tweak any settings).
However upon returning home, I tried connecting to my home network and though I could surf the net, it was excruciatingly slow, much worse than a 56KB modem. Then suddenly without warning it stopped being able to surf the internet.
I have restarted my MacBook and my router several times. It can't be a problem with my home network as the other computers in the home (1 MacBook Pro, 1 Windows laptop, 1 netbook and 1 iPod Touch) can connect to the internet without any problem.
I tried going to System Preference>Network>Create New Location etc but it still doesn't work.
Can anyone offer a solution as to why I am facing this problem only after taking it to my friend's place? Could it be a virus or a corrupted network I connected to at my friend's?I have just started having a similar problem.
I am using a free WiFi service at a local arts centre. I have used this service many, many times over the past few years and it works perfectly well. Until today. i turned on my MacBook and, as expected, it connected to the WiFi network perfectly. However, I could not connect to the internet. I tried with Chrome and Safari, I tried via iTunes and through mail, but nothing.
I know the WiFi is working, as there are other people around me using the network perfectly well, however I can't connect.
Not sure if this impacts it, but I am currently connected via a 3G dongle.
Can anyone please provide any assistance?
Thanks -
OSX Server connects to router but dos not reach the internet
Sorry that i have no answer, but i'd like to add my problem as well.
I have a OSX Server witch is configured to an Airport Extreme. It is connected to the Router and dos all the sharing on the local network. But same as you describe it dos not connect to the Internet.
I checked my firewall options and it is set to allow all traffic.
I can ping the router but i don't get pings from pages on www !?
If anyone has an Idea where else i might look, i would be grateful for all advice..
Please drop me a mail on tj{at}daemgen.net
If anyone has a solution to the problem i will send an coupon for an Starbucks coffee in addition to my appreciation and thanks as i am looking since quite a while by now and it doesn't seem that i see what might cause the problem !!There really isn't enough data to answer your question directly, but there are some things to check.
Being able to ping or serve data to the local network just means that the server has a working network connection, so that's a start, but to get to external sites it needs two things - first, a valid DNS server address that it can use to lookup hostnames, and it needs to know the address of the router on the network that provides an internet connection.
In this case you should check System Preferences -> Network -> Ethernet -> Advanced and check the TCP/IP settings - make sure the Router (or 'Gateway') address is set to the address of your Airport Extreme. Then check the DNS setting to make sure you have a valid DNS server set.
If those are correct then you'll need to post back with more data, specifically what you do see/get when you try to access remote sites. What error messages do you get?
Oh, and while ping might be a good basic test, it isn't absolute - in other words, ping could fail, even when you can connect to a remote server, since pings could be blocked by a firewall or router at either end of the network. -
I have purchase a new Ipad2. I am having difficulty getting on the app store. It just says it cannot connect to the server. Help
Have you been syncing the iPod with iTunes? Then you just connect the iPad and set it up through iTunes and sync any content you want onto it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
In terms of games/apps. If they are not universal (you will see a + symbol next to them) or made for iPad (you would see an HD in the name, usually) then they won't look good on an iPad as those apps will open in a iPod sized window, giving you the option to enlarge. -

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.

Hi Everybody,
I use an Epson Stylus Office BX320FW printer with my IMac. Since upgrading OSX, I have lost the ability to print and scan. I have downloaded printer drivers from both Epson and Apple. I am using the printer in wifi mode but can not get it print or scan. How do I uninstall the Epson software and start all over again?
nickel_man_65Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
Thanks for the advice, Bee
