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.
HELP

Oscarl,
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.

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?

I am connected to wifi, but can't open webpages or collect mail

I am connected to wifi, but can't open webpages or collect mail. I have tried to reconnect; to forget the network, all those things that should hepl. My phone and my computer recognize the network, the ipad doesn't. I mean I am connected and have a full scala of connection bows, but nothing happens.

You iPad recognizes the wifi signal, but is not connected.
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

If it's showing the red disabled screen due to incorrect passcodes then you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad via your computer's iTunes and restore/resync your content to it

Connected to the network but can't get online

Hi there- I have a WRT54G router that is wirelessly connected to an ibook. There are times that there is an additional dell laptop that i need to get online with and although the dell says it is connected to the network (with excellent strength) it can't get online i get the 'problem loading page'. I have used more than one computer with this router before, although in a different apt with a different provider (if that matters). Anyway, this is truly annoying so if anyone has any insight that would be great! I did read in the forums that its possible there is only one IP address, and admittedly my knowledge of networking is basic at best, i know that more than one computer has been connected in the past. I did try turning off the mac then connecting the Dell and it still didn't work. Thanks in advance for ANY advice! Sara

Hi . go through this link for reference . Here , under the "basic wireless settings" subtab , you need to change the wireless network name to any non-linksys name and change the channel to either 1 or 11 .

Connected to wifi but can't access

what's wrong with my iphone connected to wifi but i can't access the internet? while my friend's ipod touch and ipad1 they can access the internet?

Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod and attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., router make/model, wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.
Does your iPhone connect to any WiFi network?

MacBook Air connects to WiFi but can't connect to internet for about 5 minutes

I have a MacBook Air running Yosemite and whenever I wake it from sleep or turn it on it says it's connected to wifi, but it's usually about 5 minutes before anything will load.
• Happens on multiple wifi networks
• and doesn't happen to other devices on those networks
• Been going on for ages (since Mavericks)
• Diagnostics says nothing's wrong
• Still happens on other users and in safe mode.
Does this happen to anyone else / does anybody know a way around it?

Hi jamang1999,
For that specific issues where you are connected to the internet after waking your MacBook Air up from sleep and it is not connecting to the internet, then take a look at the article below to troubleshoot the issue further. There is a section called Symptom: After restarting or waking from sleep, my computer might not connect to the Internet and go through those troubleshooting steps to see if it continues afterwards. I know that the troubleshooting is for OS X lion and previous version of OS X but the troubleshooting is still relevant. If it does not work and are still experiencing issues, then you may need to contact Apple for additional support.

Connected to wifi but can't stay connected to internet

I currently have a curve 9300, and my service provider is Telus Mobility. I am connected to wifi and up till about 3 days ago everything was working fine, now it shows I am connected, but I can only get on internet for about 5 mins, I have to shut off all my connections then reconnect them for it to work again. Any ideas as to the problem?

OK...then, with your WiFi radio OFF (e.g., solely running on your carrier data network), 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...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
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 I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, does the behavior still present? If not, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
If the behavior does still present in Safe Mode, then you may want to try this procedure to perhaps narrow down the precise causal item:
Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.
Good luck!

My ipod touch connects to wifi but can't connect to the server.

Ok, so my ipod youch says it's connected to the wifi but when i try to get on the internet it says it can't connect to the server. I've looked and there's alot of answers but they're all soooooooooooooo complicated. I'm like 14, so whoever can answer this, please use small words.
I've noticed in alot of the answers they talk about your IP adress, if it's any consilation mine starts with 169. No matter where I go, if it's at home, or at starbucks or a hotel.
Thanks for your time

Have you tried restoring your iPod touch in iTunes?
You may just be trying to connect to "Printer Networks" that allow a company/residence to print something from their printer wirelessly, it would appear on your iPod touch just about the same as any other network, but you wouldn't be able to use internet while connected to that network...
If you are talking about "free wifi" in a Cafe, like Starbucks, you will usually need to open Safari. A Page will load and tell you how to connect to their internet, whether it's by paying, or just agreeing to their terms...
Like, I said, if that isn't the problem, try restoring your iPod touch in iTunes...

AE works, modem works, but can't get online

This problem is driving me batty! I recently purchased a new G4 Powerbook (running Tiger 10.4.2) and Airport Express directly from Apple. At the time I didn't have internet access at my house yet but was planning on getting it within a few weeks. I was ecstatic that in the meantime I was able to take my brand spanking new computer and AE to a friend's house and get online wirelessly from there quite easily by connecting the AE to their home router. I later had Adelphia come out to my house and install cable internet. The cable tech didn't know beans about routers but he did get my internet working pretty quickly through a direct ethernet connection from the RCA DCM425 modem to my laptop. After he left I surfed online for a bit and then decided to try hooking up the AE, expecting it to work as simply as it had at my friend's house.
Ha!
I have been messing with this thing for nearly a week now and have not been able to figure out what in the world is the problem. It works beautifully at my friend's house and not at all at mine. AE has a green light, the modem lights look right and it works when connected directly to my computer, I have a full signal and airport is on and the checkmark is on next to my network and interference robustness is on and Internet Connect says I'm connected via ethernet and all systems are go.......but when I try to open a webpage (any page), Safari sits and thinks for the longest time before telling me I'm not connected to the ethernet. Power cycling everything and exhaustively searching all the settings hasn't helped.
It can't be the AE because it works at my friend's house, it can't be the modem because it works when I'm hooked in directly, so it has to be some setting somewhere in my laptop, right? I know I'm supposed to be on DHCP, not PPPoE, I've tried it with and without distributed IP addresses, I've gone through Network Diagnostics, Airport setup, Admin Utility, network preferences, Safari preferences....I've tried resetting everything to the defaults, I've downloaded the latest Airport updates, I've tried using a different browser, I've tried holding my breath and crossing my fingers and turning blue, but nothing works. Airport Express is supposed to behave as a wireless router...but instead it's behaving like a mute piece of pretty plastic and I'm losing sleep at night because I can't stand being beaten by a machine. Please help - I'm losing my mind!! Thank you o angels of the discussion boards...
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Danae leFae
DHCP and PPPoE and where they apply (i.e. at the internet or wireless side of the AX and in the Powerbook OS) can be confusing.
The AX configuration may not be what your cable modem needs, although it may have been fine with your friends internet connection (was it a cable modem like yours or a DSL modem router?).
Can you check your laptop Network Preferences settings for the successful ethernet wired connection to your cable modem - ( but make sure it is connected up and working for the internet first). Then check what it shows for the Built-in Ethernet configuration TCP and PPPoE tabs.
This should clarify what is needed for the AX configuration and the Powerbook when using the AX, and maybe put you on the right track.

Connected to wifi but can't access internet

My MacBook connects to the internet through wifi, but ipod, iphone and ipad only connect. Even though the bars are there indicating connection, I can't access the internet on any of the 3 devices. When I reset the router it the devices can access the Internet for a while, but then i lose access again. Hmmm?

We got our son's working yesterday. It didn't dawn on me until many hours later that I kept giving the router password instead of the Hex key for the I-touch password Entry. We had to supply the Hex Key. We use WEP as a security mode and both password and Hex key are in Hexidecimal format. I hope this helps you and saves you many hours of headaches.

HELP! Airport connects to network but still cannot get online

I have a g3 crt 400mhz running OSX 10.3.9. I added an airport card. It sees networks and connects to mine but when I load Safari or Firefox it errors out saying cannot find server. My main PC can see the mac so I'm not sure what I'm what else to check. do I need to delete .plist files. Can anyone help resolve this issue?
Thanks

Seems like you are not getting the DNS address or addresses.
apple > system preferences > network
Double click on network connection you are using.
Pick the TCP/IP tab.
Verify that you have a DNS Server. If you do not, look on your windows machine and see what the net address is. You can also pick using DHCF and still enter you DNS server address.
You can use harddrive > applications > utilities > network utility to diagnose the situation.
You can ping google.com. Result:

I'm connected to my airport network but can't get online

2 days ago, i was online and everything was working fine.
Yesterday, i tried going online and i was told that i was not connected to the internet even though i had full signal bars from my airport. I've restarted my computer a dozen times, checked all my internet connection settings, but nothing worked, i'm still being told that i'm not connected to the internet although internet connect says i am. contrarily, network diagnostics says i am not connected.
this happened to me once before over the summer. i gave up and didn't use my computer for about a week. when i tried using it again, the internet was just fine. however, i do not have the luxury of waiting a week because my school curriculum requires the use of the internet.
what's wrong with my computer and how is it that i connected just fine 2 days ago, but cannot since then? please help!
Message was edited by: kukumuzu
if relevant, my software versions are as follows:
Safari 3.1.1
Internet Connect 1.4.3
Network Diagnostics 1.0.2

You might want to update Safari to 3.12. I would empty the safari cache. (Safari>Empty Cache). Then quit Safari. System Preferences>Network>Show:Airport>TCP/IP. Insert the following into the DNS Servers box;
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
then hit apply. Now launch Safari. You should also try powering down modem, router and Mac and power up in 2 minute sequence; modem, router, Mac.
