I am hard wired. Screen occasionally comes up saying "You are not connected to the Internet"

I have a new IMac desktop. It is hard wired. All the FIOS equipment has been verified and replaced. Still, every day, a few times, a screen comes up saying "You are not connected to the Internet." It seems to have experts stumped. Any advice, thoughts, experience with this? The screen stays up only a few seconds.

When this happens, if it stays up for a period of time, go to System Preferences > Network > unlock the lock lower let side bar > Advanced lower right > TCP/IP and click Renew DCHP Lease. See if that helps.

To open "Java Preferences," you need to install a Java runtime, but you are not connected to the Internet. I have tried links that people have put on other discussions but all i get is a black screen please help!!

When on internet my iMac keeps going to gray screen with message reading 'You are not connected to the internet'. My wireless connection is fine for my other devices, why does my iMac keep losing connection with network?

I have read other post about this and one of them said to uncheck "enable auto channel scan" in my router settings and chang from chanel 6 to 5. I was able to change the channel to 5 but i can't find anywhere on their page where it has the option to uncheck "enable auto channel scan". I have a Netgear router WGT624 v3. Can anyone recomend anything?

I've had this problem for months and finally called Apple support and paid the one time support fee to get a solution. I purchased a 21.5" iMac in the summer of 2011 and am currently running OS X 10.7.3. After confirming all my wifi settings were correct (already suspected this, since every other wireless device in the house works great), the Apple support tech recommended changing channels on my router from "Enable Auto Channel Scan" to one channel out of the 11 available. I currently have a D-Link DIR-655 router, but the tech said the same structure exists on all wireless routers. In other words, my situation would not improve if I bought an Apple router (Airport Extreme, Time Capsule, etc). I logged into my router (here are common IP addresses for routers... http://compnetworking.about.com/od/workingwithipaddresses/f/getrouteripaddr.htm , and made the channel preference change (in my case, unchecked "enable auto channel scan" and changed from channel 6 to channel 5). It's been a few days since applying this change and so far, I haven't lost my connectivity. Even though I live in a residential subdivision (not an apartment / condo), my iMac is detecting up to 21 other local networks and this was causing interference (some of my neighbors using the same channel). Sure enough, when I check the channels of nearby networks, I find many are using channel 6 and no one is using channel 5. To find out what nearby network channels are being used, go to Apple icon in top left, "about this Mac", "more info", "system report", under network choose "wifi", scroll down and see other wifi network info. Changing the router channel from auto enable to a specific channel has improved both my internet connectivity and speed (not sharing same channel with neighbors). Hope this helps!

Change / Customize the "You are not connected to the Internet" screen?

Well the title says it really. *I'd like to change the page Safari displays when not connected to the Internet.* Working for a business that sells Macs, I'd prefer something that looks a little nicer when the network is down.
I know that it's a Localizable.strings file...
(located here: Safari.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Localizable.strings )
*But if I change the wording in the file, when trying to load up the error page, I'm presented with "localized string not found".*
Any ideas? Thanks.

I screwed the edit up but: duplicate the file to be safe before the edit and only edit 2nd text area after =,
/* title of error page displayed for NotConnectedToInternet */
"You are not connected to the Internet." = "You are not connected to the Internet because you haven't paid your bill.";

I have tried this many times. Our iPOD is not doing what it is suppose to. When we go under GAMES put everything in it comes up You are not conected to the internet. Online functionality is not available. Please someone help us.

We can not get this thing working. Done everything through the computer, got confirmation of everything and a sheet for payment on iTUNES for games. When we go under the icon for games when were put Apple ID and the password it come's up,"YOU ARE NOT CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET. ONLINE FUNCTIONALITY IS NOT AVAILABLE." We have been trying for over a week to get this thing going. Can someone please please help us.

Forgive what may be a dumb question on my part, but have you confirmed that the iPod is indeed able to successully connect to the Internet by going to a web page in Safari or some such procedure?

Safari works great on my iMac, but not so well on my Macbook Pro since upgrading to Lion. I get a message that I am not connected to the internet when I try to open a webpage even though the wireless icon at the top of my screen shows I am connected.

Since upgrading to Lion I am having problems with Safari on my Macbook Pro. I am using wifi to access the internet and the internet works in all other application except for Safari. When I try to access a webpage most times I get a error message saying I am not connected to the internet. If I click on diagnose the problem, I get connect again to the internet through the diagnostic process and the webpage generally works. This is not a problem when wired to the internet.

Check your network settings, in particular the advanced setting "DNS Server". If it is by chance 127.0.0.1, make sure to change is and use a know DNS Server (from Google for example, or your own Router local address).

My Apple Tv is connecting to the Wifi network but is not connect to the internet. So when I look for it on my Airplay it doesn't come up. I have 3 other ones already working on the network and they are all fine.

My apple TV is finding and connecting to the Wifi network but then says it is not connected to the internet and then I cannot find it on the iPad through airplay. I don't want it connected to the internet (as in www.) because for the use I have I only need to use the Apple tvs locally in a sports hall as scoreboards. I have 3 others working on the same router and they are working fine (as of yesterday)
On my screen I see (obviously not written like this)
network connect- yes
signal strength- fine
Ip address- fine
DCN- fine
Activation- Failed
This is the only negative I can find and the statement that the Apple TV has connected to the wifi but is not connected to the internet.
Where has it gone wrong for me. Please help

It is not properly connected to the network.
Make sure location is set correctly
DNS should be on auto (settings - general - network)
Try ethernet
Signal strength on device won't account for issues, you would need a network report from istumbler, netstumbler or similar. This will show accurate signal strength along with noise and nearby networks

My iPhone 5c won't connect to home internet. I have an Actiontec router and my phone shows that I'm connected but no IP address comes up on my phone and Safari and other Apps state that I'm not connected to the internet.

I recently purchased an iPhone 5c and for some unknown reason I can't connect to my wireless router's network at home. I've tried establishing a seperate IP address, manually adding the iPhone device, and even spent an hour with Centurylink's IT support and they couldn't figure it out. They said it was an iPhone error. I had an iPhone 3 about 1 1/2 years ago that had the same problem. I ended up getting rid of the phone because I couldn't solve this problem before. I thought a newer phone would not have the same problem.
My phone shows that I'm connected to my home internet, but when I open up network information for my home internet there is no IP Address listed. Safari and my other apps also state that I'm not connected to the internet. I'm ready to sell my phone back and go to an Android since I didn't have trouble connecting with it before. We also have a Macbook and iPad that both connect to the internet just fine. Please....oh please help.

I was having the same problem; I tried all the recommended fixes in the "more like this" and nothing worked, but finally found the answer. Try this: http://themiddleofthestreet.blogspot.com/2013/11/if-your-iphone-5s-wont-connect- to-wifi.html

My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet".How can I change ip address?

My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet". If this is the root of the problem,how can I change ip address?
Ipad will connect no problem to other networks.

First thing you need I think is to get your iMac connected to the Internet.
Shut down your iMac and you iPad. Then power off your router. Wait 30 seconds and power up the router.
After the router indicates that it is connected to the Internet then start up your iMac and see if it connects. If the iMac connects to the Internet then your iPad should too.
If this power up sequence doesn't work you'll have to dig into the router setup to make sure it is working properly.
