How does Imac connects to the internet?

Through your ISP (internet service provider); once you set up an account with them, you can decide to connect via ethernet cable to their modem, or, if you have a router (which is connected to their modem, you can connect wirelessly.
Is that what you were wondering about or did I misunderstand your question?

Did you already try to reset the iPod by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data.
If this does not work, try to reset the network settings in Settings/General/Reset. After that you'll have to put in the passwords for all known networks again.

Did you turn WiFi on in the Settings App? If WiFi is turned on, your iPad should be able to see any WiFi networks that you can connect to and you should be able to tap on one of those, enter a password if needed and then tap the join button.
I get the feeling that you know this and the problem needs further explanation so ... Can you explain in more detail?

How do I connect to the internet with Airport for the first time?

I just got my Airport express and I've been trying to configure it to connect to the internet but it doesn't work and I can't find info on the configurations. I have an ethernet "modem" which I used to connect the cable coming from it to the computer and now I connect it to my Airport. Although the green light is on and in network preferences, it tells me I'm connected to the internet, I can't browse the internet with Safari, etc. I've been trying to find information on how to configure the base station in Airport Admin Utility but there is no specific information. Is there anyone who could help me telling me how to set up the IP adress, if I need one, DHCP, preferences in Airport Admin Utility?? If the ethernet cable is connected to the computer directly I don't need a user ID or anything... It's all setup automatically.

As a minimum, in order to gain access to the Internet with an AirPort Express base station, you will need an Internet Service Provider (ISP) AND an Internet modem or gateway device.
What is the make & model of the Internet modem or gateway device that you have the AirPort Express directly connected to by Ethernet? What exact model of Express do you have?

IMac connects to the Internet, but software will not.

I am operating on Leopard 10.5.1 - my computer connects successfully via Airport wireless to the internet, but Safari, iTunes and Mail all are unable to connect. I have read throu previous discussions and done the following: deleted and recreated airport listing in network prefences, deleted system configuration preferences, rebooted router and restarted computer several times, spoken with Verizon tech at great length while working through their diagnostic process, and none of these efforts have been succsessful.
Any additional help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Actually Airport>Ethernet ID & Ethernet>Ethernet ID will be different.
The one FIOS router I'm looking at from Verizon does support Access control, not sure if you have that set on or or not.

When the Internet light glows steadily green, the FiOS Router is connected

connection to the ONT (Optical Network Terminator), but authentication has not
taken place (i.e., no IP address is present).

Can you connect an Ethernet cable & try the 192.168.1.1 IP for setup?

I downloaded an update and now Firefox does not connect to the Internet. Having downloaded it again and again without avail, what do I do?

Firefox has gone haywire and won't connect to the Internet. I was prompted to install one of your updates and I did. Afterwards, it would no longer connect. I uninstalled and reinstalled it several times, but still I cannot connect to the Internet. My OS is Windows 7

After a Firefox upgrade/update, your firewall may not recognize that new version and will not allow access to the internet; that is your firewall doing its job. You may need to
#close Firefox (Firefox button > Exit or File > Exit)
#remove permissions for Firefox from your firewall's programs list
#restart Firefox
#allow your firewall to detect the new version and give the permissions needed by your firewall for Firefox to access the internet.

Firefox does not connect to the internet on this computer, though it does on another computer and though Internet Explorer also connects without any obvious problem.

About 1 year ago I helped to set up Firefox on my mother's computer. It worked fine until a couple of days ago. Now it no longer connects to the internet. The system is Windows XP, service pack 3. Internet Exporer does connect to the Internet on this computer. Also, I have another computer with Firefox and it works with no problem wirelessly. We tried removing Firefox and then reloading it and that did not help. We get no error messages. The internet and Firefox simply don't seem to see each other.

Sounds like a Firewall problem, seems to affect
Firefox more than other browsers.

Thank you for helping me

Hi Damien,
Thanks for your reply.
I had not created 2 separated wireless network. The airport extreme has had create wireless allowing it to be extended and the airport express has had it to extend since day 1.
The only device that does not connect to the airport express when it is far from the airport extreme here is the iPhone 4. I've tested 2 Windows based computers, 2 Macs, 1 Samsung TV and 1 Android phone and they all are able to connect to the airport express when the signal from the airport extreme is weak (please take a look on the screen shots on the original post).
The screenshots of the 2 devices' wireless set up can be found below:
Airport Extreme
Airport Express
I have seen other people here on the Apple discussions complaining about the same issue with their iPhone 4 and iPad: would it be a iOs problem?
Regards
Gilson

TS1398 How do I connect to the internet with my iphone when away from home

I have an iphone 3GS which was fine , was able to connect to the internet away from home when at uni, at appointments. Since software update to IOS 6.0, can now only connect to internet wirelessly when at home-as soon as leave the house it disconnects. Is this just because of the software update? Have tried adjusting settings but got nowhere. Thank you

When your wifi is off. Do you see your carrier name at the top left with either 3G/4G. If not you can try a reset, hold down the home/power button until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
or settings - cellular - cellular data - ON
if those two suggestion doesn't help then you will need to contact your phone carrier to resolve the issue.

How do I connect to the internet with the "Manual" PPPoE option?

Hi,
I have a Time Capsule and a PC with Windows XP SP3, Airport utility 5.3.2
I connect to the ISP using a secureID - a password that changes every minute.
This means that if I use the "Always On" option, then once the connection breaks the time capsule will retry with an invalid password and lock me out.
I therefore tried the "Manual" option, but there is no "CONNECT" button associated with it. When I choose "Always On", the time capsule connects to the internet. When I choose "Manual" the time capsule has a happy green light, but I don't have internet.
Did somebody forget to put a "connect" button somewhere, or is it just hiding?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Omri
