Have Wifi connection but won't load

My Iphone 3g indicates wifi connection after finding and connecting to my office router but won't load Itunes, App store or Safari pages, it will however connect via 3G. The phone is using Orange as the carrier and the phone was previously on the o2 network but was unlocked by o2 prior to putting in an Orange sim.
I have an identical Iphone (for business use) which connects fine, this is running on an O2 network but is otherwise identical.
Any suggestions are really appreciated.
Many thanks.

If you are running Lion 10.7.2 please try Lion WiFi problems fix, if you have trouble understanding it then watch the WiFi Lion Fix on YouTube . Your issue also could be with your router, it may be using a older firmware version. You will need to refer to the router mfg for instruction on how to update the router.

MacBook Pro wifi connected but won't load Internet

I've connected my MacBook Pro to my local wifi connection and it tells me that it is connected, but I can't run anything on it that needs an Internet connection (eg. Google Chrome, Skype etc.)
I've ran the 'Assist Me' checks in the Network Preferences and results have found the wifi connection to be positive..
I am so confused by this!! Somebody please help?!

First contact your ISP. You need to confirm that the issue is not on their end.
Change your router channel. Sometimes this is all you will have to do.
Power cycling the router. Read the router's user manual or contact their tech support for instructions.
System Preferences/Internet & Network/Network
Unlock the padlock
Locations: Automatic
Highlight Airport
Click the Assist Me button
In the popup window click the Diagnostic button.
System Preferences/Network- Unlock padlock. Highlight Airport. Network Name-select your name. Click on the Advanced button. Airport/Preferred Networks-delete all that is not your network.
Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined." Click the OK button and lock the padlock. Restart your computer.

Wifi connected but won't load

My ipod touch is connected to my mac via airport:
- my mac is loading pages ok, and displays the arrow up airport icon (sharing)
- no WEP,
- i can see my assigned DHCP and subnet numbers in ipod wifi settings
- i get the blue signal icon in top left hand corner
It would be reasonable to assume at this point my ipod is connected,
BUT every app on the ipod says "Cannot Open xxx, because it is not connected..."
Haven't found an answer to this anywhere, it was working up unitl recently, tried resetting network on the ipod.
Can someone from Apple please respond???

Welcome to Apple Discussions
This is a discussion board of fellow users and not Apple employees. If you feel you need Apple Support then you can either call them or visit an Apple store and speak with a Genius.
Let's review what you have going on.
1. You are running an Airport Base. - You are broadcasting in b/g/n modes, correct?
2. You have no encryption set up. - You should really set up WPA to protect yourself.
3. When your touch is connected to the network and you tap the little blue > next to your network name you see what? Is your IP address 192.168.x.x; subnet mask 255.255.255.0; Router IP address 192.168.x.x; DNS is the same as your router address?
4. If all of the above are good, then try typing this address into the touch version of Safari: http://74.125.45.100. You should land on the homepage of Google. If not, you need to figure out what is going on with your ISP's DNS service. You may want to set your router to use the DNS addresses of OpenDNS (www.opendns.com).
Good luck and respond with what you find.

Have wifi connection but won't let me connect to itunes or do anything else

Have a wi fi connection but can not do anything and when I try app store it says cannot connect to itunes store

Can't connect to the iTunes Store

"Unable to connect to server" I have wifi connection but I'm getting this error when I try to purchase an app. Why?

"Unable to connect to server" I have wifi connection but I'm getting this error when I try to purchase an app. Why? If anyone knows can you please help me thank you in advance. :-(

Can you load a webpage in Safari with that wifi connection? If so then it's a problem with the iTunes Store app connection. If not then your wifi isn't fully functional and you need to troubleshoot that first.

I do have wifi connection but no internet, how is this possible? I logged in to the internet at my friends place and when I got home my own internet was not working anymore

I do have wifi connection but no internet, how is this possible? I logged in to the internet at my friends place and when I got home my own internet was not working anymore

This is possible to be connected to WiFi but not internet.
You connect to your modem/router via WiFi and whether it is connected to the internet or configured properly to route the internet to WiFi devices is a different story.
Now if you've already reset your WiFi (try disabling and enabling) and perhaps even restarting your MBP
Then make sure that your modem/router is connected to the internet.
You can try any other device, lights on the modem/router or use Eth cable to test.
Report back your findings.

After 2.0 update, WiFi still connects, but won't load pages or any internet

So I had just used the IPod touch to hit some web pages, look at weather, stocks, youtube etc... an hour later....
installed the 2.0 update with the New York Times app, now I still connect to my access point, renewing IPs still work, It IS connected to the AP, but Internet based apps time out.
Example error: Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding.
I have rebooted, restarted, restored, and all the other things I've seen mentioned, but still can't get internet traffic. At one point I even tried connecting to the AP management, was prompted for ID and password, but then blank page.
any help appreciated

Exactly the same here. Just noticed this in my local coffee shop (Neros) where I used to be able to log on to BT Openzone. Now, since updating to 2.0 version, I get the same error message as you i.e. I can find and attach to the WiFi host but cannot get any further than "Safari can't open the page because it is not connected to the internet" Tried re-booting to no avail. My WiFi works just fine at home, though. Really annoying. Any ideas ?

I have WiFi connection but no internet access HELP

I got the ipod touch 3rd generation two days ago at yesterday it was connecting fine but now when i try to connect it shows that i have good WiFi signal but no actual internet connection because when i try to load app world or Safari it wont let me. I have reset my router several times and reset my network settings on my ipod but still nothing. My computer and laptop are both working fine with the internet. However, my sister also has the same ipod and she has the same problem but she resets it once and it works but her ipod has not been updated in a long time and mine has the latest software. HELP ME PLEASE!!!

You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
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 or is blank 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 (not reset - to restart remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then 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. Check for a firmware update for your router on the manufacturer's support web pages. See the documentation that came with your router on how to install.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, and how you have it configured.

Have WIFI connection but can't access Safari or App store, nothing. Can anyone help??

I have just bought a iPad 2 WI-FI 16G today. I have a full WI-FI connection but can't access the App store or Safari for any webpages, can anyone help?
Thanks!!!!

Despite what you call, "a full WiFi connection", you may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPad a valid local network 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 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.

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., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

Macbook pro has wifi connected but won't open internet - says computer offline - works fine on ethernet and other pc's

Any ideas on how to resolve this issue - wifi is connected but the web browser won't open - gives message that computer is offline. It works fine on ethernet and also on other computers in house. no other modem or devices in home.
computer one year old.

He advised me to 'back up' everything and 'reformat' the computer.
I have been looking at how to do these tasks - not 100% on both.
The quickest way to do this is to create a clone copy of your existing internal Macintosh HD. You can create this copy using applications like Data Backup, Carbon Copy Cloner, or SuperDuper!.
I use an external USB HDD for the clone copies.
The following AppleInsider article will give you an idea on how to use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a clone backup of your Mac's hard drive.

Airport Extreme-have wifi connection but no internet on some devices???

I just replaced my linksys router with the latest (tower) Airport Extreme and an Airport Express as an extention of the network. Now I had a heak of a tme setting this up to mimic what the linksys did so I would have a smooth transition. I have a windows server 2008 R2 server which is my file server, DHCP & DNS server. I set my Extreme with the "DHCP & NAT" set the range I use which is 10.0.0.10 - .253, Set the router's address to 10.0.0.10 in network properties as well as setting the default host to point back to my server at 10.0.0.100. I also checked "Enable NAT port mapping protocol". Everthing seems to be working great most of the time...my wired PC's have internet and their proper IP addresses, my iMac and MacBook Pro have internet and proper IP addresses, iPad, iPhones...BUT I am noticing on my iPhone 5 that I'll show a full wifi signal but no IP address there for no internet. Now this happened a couple times and the only way I got it back was to do a rest of the phone. I have never had any wifi issues with this prior to installing the Extreme and Express. So I thought it was just the iPhone but my iPad just behaved the same way and a rest took care of it. Worse at the same time I checked my MacBook and I have the exlimation point over the wifi in the top tool bar. I can see and pick my SSID but couldn't get an IP address until I clicked the Airport Utility then it connected.
So basically I am looking for any suggestions or better yet fixes on my issues. I'm not sure if I have the Airport Extreme configured properly for it to work with the Windows 2008 Server.
I appreciate any help at all!
Thank you greatly in advance,
Dave

And when is apple going to put a NAT only mode on the Extreme????
Apple have a policy of not telling.. you can ask .. but they don't tell.
I am a rather recent arrival on the Mac/Apple seen so I would also wonder how an OSX server is setup with AE..
For wireless in particular, you can use Enterprise level security.. and that might fix it... because instead of using a preset key, as standard in wireless you can use a username and password combo from a radius server.. which might then be used to pass IP via dhcp. Something to consider if you don't mind getting a bit more complex..
Look at this thread which is looking at using ox x server which is basically the same issue you are having.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2756247?start=0&tstart=0
The idea of using a static range of IP addresses.. that might work.. with DHCP actually turned off.. I have used this setup for something completely different.. ie to pass different DNS to clients that need access to Netflix from overseas.. I did not explore it from a your no dhcp setup.. but that is another option to try.. there is so little info supplied it is hard to know and you just have to trial and error with it.

Have wifi connection but no internet?

I have an Airport Extreme (version 7.6.4) in bridge mode as main network, this is connected via ethernet to an ADSL router (this allocates the ip addresses)
I then have 3 airport express extending teh network to improve the signal in different parts of the house. All the ip addresses are 10.0.0.x.
I have internet connectivity on my iMac (10.8.5) connected to the wifi network, however my Macbook Pro (also 10.8.5) and all my iOS devices (iphone 4s on iOS 6.1.2 and ipad 2 iOS 7.0.3) whilst having strong wifi connection do not have an internet connection. When I launch AirPort utility on the macbook pro and iOS devices it shows the network but the internet reflects as disconected, whereas on the iMac the internet is connected.
Any ideas what is causing this?

Since you have a router "upstream" from the AirPort Extreme, the Bridge Mode setting on the AirPort Extreme is the correct setting.
As you know, when the AirPort Extreme is set to "create a wireless network", the AirPort can be setup either in Router Mode or Bridge Mode.
This avoids a situation where you have two routers on the same network, with both of them are trying to provide DHCP and NAT services. Conflicts would be certain with two routers competing against each other.
I then have 3 airport express extending teh network to improve the signal in different parts of the house. All the ip addresses are 10.0.0.x.
Can you clarify whether the Expresses are "extending" the network wirelessly? If they are, then they are already in the correct Bridge Mode setting.
Or, are the Expresses "extending" by connecting back to the AriPort Extreme using wired Ethernet connections?
We need to do some more troubleshooting starting with one Express at a time.....but first need to understand how you have the Expresses connecting to the AirPort Extreme.
We assume that each Express is either the A1264 version or the current A1392 version. Is that correct?

Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Did you reset your network connections using Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Connections?
Did you try to log back into your network using Settings > WiFi > Other Networks and re-entering your network name, security settings, and password?
Have you tried a general reset of your iPod?
