Connected to wifi but safari won't load anything

I can connect to wifi and it connects successfully but when I start safari it stays at the blank white page and the blue bar stays where it is at. I am running max osx version 10.7.2 and I have a macbook pro I just bought. I am getting very frusterated.

I had the exact same issue - new mbp, safari, wifi connected, but page would not load. Happened at two different hotels, one airplane, and two different airports.  Luckily, I had a PC running IE with me and it worked. I called Apple Support twice - no help. I was able to favorably resolve the issue by shutting down the computer and then downloading a different browser (e.g. Firefox). Hope this helps!

    Try this first. 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.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.

    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.

  • My iPhone4 has 3G but Safari won't load any data, why is this?

    My iPhone4 works fine in some places, but whenever I'm in the house and have 3G, safari won't load. I just get a message saying 'safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding' can anyone help me fix this?
    Thank you

    I'm getting the "server stopped responding" error on apps that use 3G (Words with Friends, My Xbox Live, etc) as well as in Safari. Anything that uses the 3G network is timing out. Texts work flawlessly, and emails do arrive and send, though it's very slow.
    I spoke with a representative at AT&T. She said there were no reports of tower outages or issues in my area (Dallas, Texas). She had me restore the factory defaults on the network settings, remove and reinstall the SIM card, reset my phone, turn 3G off and back on again, empty the cache and data in Safari, and some other things. None of it fixed it.
    If I turn off 3G, and only use the Edge network or WiFi, everything works just fine. But 3G is broken, and has been for me since yesterday
    Would love to hear if anyone else has any ideas.

  • My iphone 4s is connected to wifi but it won't access the internet

    My iphone is running on iOS7. It says it's connected to wifi but I can't access the internet. Some apps work like mail and facebook but that's it. Everything else says theres no connectivity. When I turn it off and use 4g they work. I've tried everything from turning off the wifi to reset settings. I don't know what the problem is. Can anyone help?

    Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until your device restarts, so you will be able to use the device again

  • I'm connected to internet, but safari won't open any pages.

    my ipad show's i'm connected to the internet with full signal, but it won't let me open a website or get email. i've turned the connection on and off, no luck. i've restored the ipdad to original settings, nothing. internet in our house works with computers, iphones, etc. i'm not sure what to try now, i've done everything the help site says too. suggestions?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    While the iPad shows you are connected to a wireless network, have you entered the email account information?
    Go to Settings > Mail and either pick one of the preloaded email account providers, or enter your own account. Incoming and outgoing account information such as POP or IMAP for incoming, user ids, passwords. You can also check to see the port is set correctly for each.
    With Safari, go to Settings > Safari and turn AutoFill OFF if it is not already. Tap the URL field at the top and enter the URL for your preferred home page.
    See if that helps.

  • My iPad shows that I am connected to wifi but safari tells me it cannot open the page because I am not connected.

    This problem has been occurring at different hot spot locations.  When I go into settings it shows I am connected. It will not forget the network either.  Very strange. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks.

    You are detecting the wifi, but not connected to it.

  • HT1595 apple tv connects to wifi but internet won't work?

    I am setting up my new apple tv and it says it can connect to the wifi but not the internet? I don't understand this or how to fix it

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router.

  • HT3500 my laptop, iPad and iPhone suddenly do not connect to my printer.  All of these Apple product and my HP printer are connected to wifi, but now I cannot get anything to print from computer, iPad or phone.  suggestions?

    All of my Apple product have suddenly been unable to find my HP printer.  All are working/connected to wifi and were printing just fine yesterday.  Suggestions?

    Hello Faith25
    Check out the articles below to get your notebook and iOS devices to print again. Check to see if there is anything that could be preventing it from being print to like a jam in the printer or a print queue that may be stuck. Another think to check, if you can get it to show up on your notebook. is to see if the printer has the latest firmware.

  • Help! Airport says I'm connected, but Safari won't load a web page!?

    Okay, I'm a newbie, I would really appreciate if someone can tell me what's going on here. I purchased an Airport Express unit, followed the instructions, set up my own network, and on BOTH my G4 Desktop and my G4 17" Powerbook, the "internet connect" recognized the Airport and says that I'm connected to the internet (full strength), but on both computers when I try to open a web page Safari gives me an error code "cannot connect to the internet." What gives? Anybody know? There doesn't seem to be a help topic about this particular problem....

    It sounds like it might be a DNS issue.

  • Connected to wifi but internet won't work (airport router)

    Help,
    I've tried everything to get my ipad to connect to the internet. It says there is an excellent connection to my router (airport) and my imac & iphone work fine.
    So far I have:
    fogotten the network
    reset the network
    reset my ipad (completely and reinstalled everything)
    turned off the airport router for 2 minutes
    Added static ip address, sub address and DNS
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Earlier in the week I had an amplifier installed to improve the signal for my cable modem. Could that be interfering with just my ipad?
    Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi!
    So I'll explain my problem and how I fixed it.
    I have two macs and iphones in the house. I use an airport time capsule.
    The ethernet works just fine.
    Wifi on one iphone and one mac works fine.
    The other two don't. If I self-assign an IP address, the other mac works, but the iphone still doesn't work.
    I searched everywhere and tried a lot of crazy stuff.
    Here's what was wrong:
    The airport was not assigning an IP address, or it was too slow so the mac and iphone assigned their own. A self assigned IP looks like this:
    169.254.xxx.xxx
    Internet connection does not work with an IP address space of 169.254.xxx.xxx from ISP, router, or manual configuration
    An IP assigned by the airport (DHCP), should look like this:
    (10.0.1.25 or similar).
    Solution: Reset the airport to factory settings. Reconfigure wifi network.
    Took 5 minutes. Super easy. Fixed everything. Now all devices work, no problem. The airport automatically assigns proper IPs.
    Also, if you have a backup on your Time Capsule, don't worry. It won't be deleted, and when you connect to the newly configured airport with Time Machine, it will automatically find the old backups and continue as usual (just tried this today. absolutely no problems.
    Hope that helps everyone!
    I hope it reaches the people who need it!

  • My iPhone says its connected to wifi, but it won't let me text through iMessage

    Ever since midnight or so last night I havent been able to FaceTime or iMessage anybody. I have tried to text some of my friends that have IOS devices but it keeps saying that they are unvailible even when they are. I can still surf the web and everything else but I cant FaceTime or iMessage. Can someone tell me *** is going on? It's really making me frustrated

    Force the phone into recovery mode:
    If you cannot turn off your phone using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When your phone turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons. Then, leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

    Purchased books should appear when tapping the iBooks icon now.

  • My iPad 1 says it's connected to wifi but safari says can't open page cause not connected to the internet

  • My ipod touch says it is connected to wifi, but won't run anything that uses it like safari or itunes, and I don't know how to fix it

    Can anyone help me? my  ipod touch says it is connected to wifi, but it won't run anything that uses wifi like safari or itunes, and I don't know how to fix it

    You didn't indicate if it ever worked.  If it NEVER did, the problem could be caused by a firewall in the router.  For reasons that I do not understand, that will affect IOS (iPod/iPad) communication but will not affect computers or other devices.
    You will need administrative access to the router.  If a firewall is present, turn it off and test the iPod again.  If it works, turn the firewall back on but weaken it a notch and test the iPod again.  Repeat as required.
