Imac connects to internet but wont load then drops connection

I bought my first mac a couple of months ago with an imac 21.5 i5. I love the os and im glad i made the swithc BUT, it was slightly slower than my very cheap laptop on the internet and slower than all other computers in my house and iphone at oading web pages, it often struggled to load a page, said unable to load ect but then would work fine for the past 2 days it has connected to the internet but will NOT load a page, or it starts to then stops, then wont reload, it drops wifi then picks it back up. all other computers such as the one im typing from work fine.
I am very dissapointed with the mac now and would seriously think twice about buying another, the store i bought i from was no help, i cant believe apple dont have support for products inder warranty. even working it is slower than my laptop that cost 20% of the price. I own a company tha relies heavily on the internet and this being my business computer has been a massive blow for me. I have changed nothing on the computer since getting it, no system preference changes or changed router ect and i have no clue what this could be. I could inderstand if it wasnt picking up with internet connection but it is, It is 5 feet from the router.
If i cant sort this it will be back to pc for me, i cant afford to have this happen to me again and ruin a couple of days of work. all in all I have lost a lot of faith in this brand.

Reinstall OS X, either from disc or a recovery partition. You don't mention which version of OS X you're running so I don't know which it will be.

IPhone will connect to network but wont load any internet pages.

OK, I have an iPhone (1.1.1) and an apple airport graphite base station which is connected to a D-Link G604T router.
iPhone will connect to the airport but wont load any internet pages. My iBook works fine on the internet when connected to the airport.
Any ideas?
Thnanks.

Daniel Langer,
Make sure the graphite base station is configured as a bridge, and not assigning IP addresses itself if the D-Link is doing DHCP.
If it is acting as a router, you will have NAT occurring twice, which can have a variety of issues.
Hope this helps,

TS4062 my ipod touch shows it is connected to internet, but says it can't connect to the server. Help!

My ipod touch shows it's connected to the internet, but says it can't connect to the server. How can I fix?

The machine is booting up so I wouldn't worry about the PRAM battery. I set my time off of the internet, since my pram battery is dead & I do not feel like changing it. click on time to get this panel.
The imac I have has 1.25GHz and I am assuming has an airport card because the Internet worked on it when I tested it out before I bought it.
To sort things out, I'd connect the machine via an ethernet cable to you router. Thus, if it works well via a cable you will have narrowed the problem down to the wifi card.
My wireless is on WPA/WPA2. How do I get the Internet to start working?
You sure the machine is connecting to your router not a neighbors? Set router to now encryption & see how things work. Just for testing.

Iphone connects to wifi but wont load any data

my iphone will connect to my wifi network with a good signal but when i open safari, check weather,stocks etc. it wont load. in safari it says it cant connect to the server and in weather, stocks etc it says update failed. It just started doing this yesterday and my wifi worked before. Also my internet is working. Please help this iphone isn't even a week old!!!
PS i can connect to other wifi networks but not mine

wonder if you could perhaps help me also with a similar difficulty ?
I have the itouch and I am having a Wifi issue. Is there a particular kind of combination setting that perhaps I am not doing. What I mean is when you go to wifi settings. There is DHCP , BootP and static at the top of the page. Then at the bottom, we have off, manual and auto. Also in between all that there it displays Ip address , subnet mask, router, dns, search domains and client id.
What is a dns ? I would love to know and even better how do I get this thing to work, which did until three days ago.
Thank you in advance

New ipod touch connected to internet but wont open safari

i got a new ipod touch this morning, it says its connected to my wifi, but when i go to open youtube, or safari it wont load. it sits there spinning for about 5 minutes, than i get an error message saying the server stopped responding, i have reset my ipod many times but still nothing.. any ideas?

Lets start with your problem and hopefully the solution will fix everyone else at the same time.
Since you think you are connected to your network, tap Settings > WiFi and then the little blu > next to the network name with the checkmark next to it.
Under normal circumstances, you will have an IP address, Subnet Mask, Router IP, and DNS IPs. I think you are going to see an IP address that starts with 169.x, an incomplete subnet mask, and no router or DNS IP addresses.
Here's a few things that can cause this to happen:
- Use of WEP encryption. You will either need to reset your password to 5 characters (48 bit), 13 characters (128 bit) or use the hex code generated by your router for your current password in place of the actual password. All that, and still really poor security. I suggest you change your encryption to WPA2.
- Old router firmware. Your router uses something called DHCP to generate an IP address for the device. iPod 3.x firmware doesn't like out of date DHCP firmware and will not get an IP address from your router. Just download and install the latest router firmware from your router maker's website.

My iPod Touch 5th Gen IOS-8.2 says it is connected to the wifi and has the signal bars in the top left corner, but when I try to load YouTube or the App Store it says that it is unable to load. This happens on all networks, at mine and other people's. Please help me, its SUPER ANNOYING!

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect OK before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Hi，
So switch a LAN card fix this issue...seems a compatibility issue or maybe some packs or programs you installed recently cause this issue.
Have you manually check the network adapter driver from the PC's manufacture website? sometimes, it will be a time delay before Microsoft push out the driver update.
Check if issue exists in safemode with network, this mode will launch Windows with limited sets of files and drivers.
if you have a restore point, restore the pc to a previous point at which the pc is functioning fine.

If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
First, test your iPad on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

How much free space on the startup disk?
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
If you have anti virus software installed, that could be a factor.
Try troubleshooting third party plugins. Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

HT4407 boot camp says I'm not connected to internet, but i am.

Trying to install Bootcamp on my late 2009 quad iMac withe Lion 10.7.3 but it keeps saying im not connected to internet, but i am.
Any help please.

Let's see.... you don't install boot camp to begin with, you may be referring to downloading the Apple drivers.
Known issue and need to check and change proxy and network settings -- yu are still in mac OS X
You are in Windows and cannot connect to the internet ---- you are running Windows
The only time yu install is after Widnows is installed and then install Apple drivers which are
BOOTCAMP.msi or BOOTCAMP64.msi usually just run Setup.exe

TS4079 siri keeps saying connect to internet: but I am connected?

I have turned Siri both off/on several times. I am also connected to internet, but everytime I use Siri it says please connect to internet

I have Norton Internet Security 2005 and have not had problems except with CDDB with a proxy server.
Assuming you are using the Norton forewall, but something should work with other firewalls.
As suggested, try turning off NIS briefly and see if you can connect then. If you can try the following:
Make sure you have all updates.
Go in to the firewall settings - configure programs.
Delete references to itunes and quicktime. You may find them listed under Apple.
Restart the computer.
Then go into the firewall and manually configure these programs:
In Program Files\iTunes - iTunes.exe and iTunesHelper.exe
In Program Files\Quicktime - QuicktimePlayer.exe, qttask.exe and QTInfo.exe.
In fact for me the automatic configuration worked fine, but doing it manually seems to have worked for some people.
Another thing that can cause connectivity problems, go into Internet Explorer Tools>Internet Options>Connextions>LAN Settings and make sure that "Automatically detect settings" is checked.
