I can make a WiFi connection but pages will not load. WiFi works for a laptop using windows

I can make a WiFi connection but pages will not load.  WiFi works ok on a laptop using Windows.  I have reset the WiFi settings but this makes no difference.

Thanks, Linc, but  that almost helped:
Because the retina 15 only has a wifi connection (no ethernet), that's the connection I'm stuck with for the notebook. But on the 27iMac, I did have both ethernet and wifi enabled. When I turned the wifi off on the 27, therer was a brief moment when both computers were showing their counterparts when I tried to make a network connection. BUT, after a few seconds of 'searching', the computer I was trying to connect to disappeared from the Network list.
So I tried the opposite; the retina can only connect thru wifi, so that's a given. I swithched my ethernet off and then enabed the wifi on the 27 and ....same thing: When I try a network connection, there are a few seconds of 'searching', then the ony option I'm left with is share screen, which doesn't work either.
I've read the 'dropped' network is a problem with the retina, but the odd thing is that I never lose my internet connection—that continues to work fine, as does Air Drop—but I can't seem to connect, network-wise.
Any ideas about the dropped network?

    Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

  • Xv6800 wifi connected but pages do not load error?

    we just got verizon fios wifi in our house and my xv6800 phone is connected but pages dont want to load? ive also entered the code from the router? ive used wifi before with this phone and works perfect?

    As long as you are connecting to the right router (check SSID) and are inputting the encryption key okay (WEP default) it should work fine, nothing else needed. Maybe try a router reboot/reset if it's still giving a trouble.

  • Talk Talk wifi connection but safari will not load any web pages?

    I have a new Ipad and it is connected to TalkTalk wifi. But the problem is that Safari will not load a single web page?
    Are there any known issues with this problem. My PC connects to the same wifi network and is running fine.
    The build bar for the web page I try to access turns 3/4 blue but then gives an error message, 'cannot connect to server'
    TalkTalk call centre kept saying that they do not support Ipad? But would not elaborate!
    Apple call centre updated IOS 6.1.2 and reset network settings but no solution as yet.
    Do I need to take this back?
    Has anyone had a similar problem?

    How old is your MBP?
    Do you have APP?
    Does this happen all the time? Does it happen on a specific site? What internet connection do you have?

  • I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    I need to make a pdf document, already made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website as an e-brochure. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    Hello waitingone,
    please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
    1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
    2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
    3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
    4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
    5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
    6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
    7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
    Good luck!

  • I'm connected but computer will not load sites

    I have a WRT54G ver. 6 and I can't figure out what's wrong with the connection. The household has two laptops and one desktop(wired) connected to the router. My computers will say they're connected but will not load web pages. There's no data transfer. Sometimes repairing the connection will fix the problem but most the time it does not. Usually I have to disconnect the power to the router then reconnect it. That fixes it, but lately I'm having to do this several times in a day, which gets annoying. Occasionally I'll see the a box popup that says I'm connected to the internet even though I've been connected for awhile. Even my desktop that's wired to the router will stop loading pages. Does anyone know what would do that? Is my router going bad? Is there a way to run a router through some kind of self diagnostic?

    I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 w/ linksys Wireless B card and a Dell Inspiron e1505 w/ Intel Wireless Pro card. 
    When only one computer has access to the router it seems to work fine, so I'm convinced it has something to do with how the router distributes the internet connection to several computers it has trouble.

  • Used Firefox almost exclusively, then it stopped working. I reinstalled, find the program in Programs, but it will not load. How do I fix in Windows XP?

    Firefox will not start. It had been my default browser. I downloaded and reinstalled program running Windows XP. When I click on icon on desktop, or attempt to run from Programs, nothing happens.
    Permissions did not change in the McAfee security software
    This is what shows in Properties:
    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    File version: 1.9.2.3989
    File size: 890 KB (912,344 bytes)
    Coincidentally, Windows Messenger now attempt to start every time I try to open an Internet Browser

    The [[Firefox will not start]] article may help.
    You can try creating a new profile to see if the problem is with your current profile (the profile is where Firefox stores user data). For details on doing that see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows Creating a new Firefox profile on Windows - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]
    If the new profile does work, you can copy selected data from the old profile, as shown in the "Suggested profile contents to transfer" section of the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox Transferring data to a new profile] article.

  • Connected but pages do not load

    Hi
    I am new here and I was wondering if somebody could help me with my problem. The BT people were unable to help me so I am trying here. Basically, my internet connection is good (apparently excelent) but it often happens that no pages are loading when I want to surf the net, or incredibly slowly. So slowly that loading one page can take literally 30 min.
    So I tried the following:
    - cleaning my browser cache
    - I use IE so I installed Firefox
    - reseting the hub
    - disabling webshields in antiviruses (Avast)
    - tried the cmd , resetlog.txt thing
    - changed DNS settings (BT people told me to put 4222,4221 but I also tried the google ones 8888, 8844)
    None of this helped one bit. Any other ideas? Please help as I feel for some weeks like I am paying for internet but in fact, do not have internet. My experience with people in the call centres when contacting BT was useless. They just keep repeating that my connection is good, which I know.
    Please please help, I would be grateful.
    Thank you, Lucie_P

    Hi
    Yes, I have firewalls. I tried to switch them off, which made no difference.
    This problem started like 2 months ago and since then I emailed, called BT but they have no solution. They just repeat over and over that the connection is good. They are not interested in anything else.
    Sorry, I have no other device for internet.
    I can use it sporadically, at unpredictable times. I might be lucky an hour though the day or maybe 30 min in the evening. But even then, only some pages work, like maybe google. But not, say, Youtube.
    It really drives me mad, because until two months ago, my internet was completely fine, no matter the time of day and the speed was decent. Then, from day to day, this problem.
    Best regards
    Lucie_P

    Mburruss2000, welcome to the forum.
    I suggest trying another browser to see if that solves your problem.  You can try Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome if you are using Internet Explorer.

  • Intermittently iphone 6 and 6 plus is wifi connected but internet does not work.

    Hi,
    I have an issue where intermittently iphone 6 and 6 plus is wifi connected but internet does not work. iMessage works though.  Toggling the wifi setting clears
    the issue temporarily but it occurs again.  Running iOS 8.3 now.  This was the case on iOS 8.1 and 8.2 as well. 
    I have tried the typical troubleshooting steps (reboot/reset network settings/disabling location services for wifi/upgrade/etc)
    My router is an EA9200 router with 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz.  It is configured with all bands with the same name.
    All other devices in my house works perfectly fine and has no disconnects (ipad/macbook air/tv's/receivers)
    My thought is that iphone 6 cannot handle well the moving around between bands. 
    Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    David

    Have you tried to reboot your router by turning off the power (you may have to unplug it from the power source), then waiting about 30 seconds, then turning it back on?  This seems to solve a lot of problems.

  • How can I burn a copy of my project to a DVD . I do not have IDVD because I have the Lion os. I did purchase Wondershare for burning but it will not load the iMovie events or projects

    How can I burn a copy of my project to a DVD . I do not have IDVD because I have the Lion OS. I did purchase Wondershare for burning but it will not load the iMovie events or projects

    There is no proper substitute for iDVD.
    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
    UPDATE & ADDENDUM:
    But even though you can still buy iLife 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
    Poster jhb21939 posted this in another thread:
    “when I attempted to load iDVD into a new iMac. A notice came up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March this year (2012).
    I contacted the Apple support team and eventually, I was told that the Licence had been withdrawn and could no longer be used.”
    In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
    In response, Old Toad posted this solution:
    “You can still use it one all of your Macs.  If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer.  After you're done reset the time back to the correct time.” He added this comment:
    “It began after iDVD and iWeb were discontued and they were dropped from the Apple Store. All I can think of is the certificate was set to expire after a certain time period after the intitial iLife disc was released.
    I've been able to use the installer even without setting back the date.  I just clicked on the Continue button and it would work as expected.  For some it would not continue unless the date was set back.”
    The latest anorexic iMacs just announced do not even include a CD drive! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of DVDs - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
    Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?

  • Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

    Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

    Ok this is bizzare!
    Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
    So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
    AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
    I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(

  • I can download a song to my IPhone. I can play on my iMac but it will not download to IPhone.  It is also in my ICloud but it still will not

    I can download a song to my IPhone. I can play on my iMac but it will not download to IPhone.  It is also in my ICloud but it still will not

    OK.
    Not sure why you are in the itunes forum.
    Your issue is with your MP3 player.  Go to their support page.
    Itunes syncs with Apple devices.  It has little or nothing to do with other players.
    Does your MP3 player support the file type of the song that your downloaded?

  • Ihave computer and ipod connected but they will not sync. How do I get them to sync?

    I have my computer and ipod connected but they will not sync. How do I get them to sync.?  I have done the previous action before but now I have a new ipod because my other ipod was stolen.

    Actually this happened to me today and although it would not let me play the file it allowed me to use that same file i had exported from iphotos but could not play and then it allowed me to open it in imovie (you can go to import and then get it from the desktop or wherever) although I made a couple of changes to it the main thing is once you drag it into the space to begin a new project you can then right click and select open in finder and that file actually plays......if its cause i made some changes to it i.e trimmed it slightly then its worth doing so.
