I'm Connected to My Wifi, but It Won't Work?
I'm connected to my wifi, but it can't use Safari, YouTube, or anything that requires internet.
First I connected to my sister's wifi and it connected alright and had full bars or excellent connection, whatever you wanna call it,
but it wouldn't connect to anything that requires Internet. So now I'm at my dad's house, connected to his wifi, and it STILL won't use anything that requires the Internet, and it's on excellent connection (all 3 bar thingys)
So.. what can I do to fix this? I don't understand because it shows it having all the connection..
I restarted it and reset the network connections.
Would be much appreciated if someone could help me out.
Thanks.

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. -
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.
~RevaHi!
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! -
i got an iphone the other day and when i started it up i answered the language questions and i've connected it to the wifi. just when i click next it wont activate, it's unable to connect to itunes as well, please help me
First things first, You need to update your wifi security settings. If its set at WEP, then change to WAP2. If its already set that way, then you need to make sure iTunes is up to date on your computer, then update your software.

Says I'm connected to the internet, but browsers won't work
Hi everybody. Here's what happened: I was loading a program on my eMac, which was connected to the internet fine, and my mom shut the computer off. It seemed like the computer crashed--I couldn't access any of my files. So I realoaded the operating system. Most things worked OK, but I couldn't connect to the internet, and when I tried changing certain things, it asked for an administrator name and password, and wouldn't accept any of the accounts as an administrator. So I found a code the allowed me to create a new administrator, and used it; I can now finally edit my internet settings. But I can't connect. I finally got it to say I was connected in Network Status by clicking the checkmark next to AppleTalk; there's the little green light and it gives my IP address and everything. But none of my browsers will load, and Itunes can't connect either. Any suggestions?
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Powering the machine down from the on/off switch typically is not recommended, because during a software shut down, some documents that are open are properly closed. What can happen is directory damage. Perhaps a key document for your Domain Nameserver got damaged. Try switching to OpenDNS DNS numbers from http://www.opendns.org/ on both your router and Network System Preferences. Restart the computer. Then it might fix the issue. Any proxy settings might need to be turned off as well. -

I just bought the new MacBook Air a few days ago and my Internet connection is so slow. My iPhone's connection works fine when connected to the wifi but the MacBook connects for a few seconds then drops completely. What do I do? I tried connecting it to my phone's hotspot and it works perfectly. I'm a new Mac user so I have no idea what to do. I have Comcast xfinity cable and Internet. Thanks for the help.

My iPhone 5 is experiencing problems with the Wifi at home. It shows that it is connected to the wifi but anything that uses wifi (apps etc) doesn't load content and just looks like it's loading forever but nothing ever comes. However the wifi and wifi/internet dependant apps work sometimes but it's rare. How do I fix this?
Back up all data.
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
In Safari, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
Notes:
1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself. Remember that you must click Apply in order for any changes to take effect.
2. I don't use Google DNS myself, though I have tested it, and I'm not recommending it or any other DNS provider; the server addresses are offered merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist. -
MY MAC WONT CONNECT TO MY WIFI BUT WILL CONNECT TO OTHERS
My imac wont connect to my wifi but will connect to the person downstairs from me. it works once and a while but never for more then a few mins...could it have something to do with the router?
Hello Trey,
Without knowing anything about your WiFI system, my opinion is that your wifi signal is either, weaker than your downstairs neighbor, or more likely, your wi fi system is suffering from interference. The first thing you should do is change the channel it is operating on. See if that helps.
I tend to think it is not the router, but can only offer a guess, since you did not describe your system. -
I have a 192 ip at home but I can't get rid of the 169 ip from my iPhone. My Mac perfectly connects to the wifi but my iPhone doesn't seem to connect to it. Please help!
EUREKA, I found the solution to my problem in a Discussion initiated by gingertodd on July 27, 2011 entitled "Safari in Lion hijacked by malware." The solution was provided by Badunit who recommended force quitting Safari and then reopening it while holding down the Shift key. It worked instantly, and I subsequently was able to open Safari normally by just clicking on its icon in the Dock. THANK YOU BADUNIT!

Im connected to wifi but the internet wont work?
im connected to wifi but the internet wont work how do i make it work
Go to settings, then wifi. There, you can choose a wifi router and if needed, enter the password. You haven't provided any details in your post. Are you trying to connect to a home network? A commercial network?

HT4528 My iphone 4s is connected to my wifi but will not connect to internet
My Iphone 4S is connected to my wifi but will not connect to the internet. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Try going to settings>general>reset>reset network settings. Once you've reset your network settings you will need to be able to plug in your wifi/router password to your wifi appliance. (password to wifi router)
Good luck.
