IMac not sharing internet via wifi

I am trying to share internet eternet connection via iMac's wifi, but did not succeed since yesterday. I've been using this mode for the last two years but it suddenly stopped working.

Hi, a couple if suggestions...
System Preferences>choose Wifi interface>Advanced>Proxies Tab, make sure none are set, like for HTTP & HTTPS.
And/or...
Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712
10.5, 10.6, 10.7 & 10.8…
System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.
10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x/10.8.x instructions...
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
If using Wifi/Airport...
Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
For 10.5/10.6/10.7/10.8, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(There may be better or faster DNS numbers in your area, but these should be a good test).
Click OK.

  • I am trying to set up internet sharing from my macbook air but there does not seem to be an option for this because the air is connected to the internet via wifi connection. Is it possible to still share this?

    It depends upon how the other machines are connecting to your MBA:
    If the the other machines are also using wi-fi, they can connect directly to the wireless access point (router) without going through your MBA
    If the other machines are connecting to the MBA using ethernet you can share your wi-fi connection to them

  • Imac will not connect to Internet via wifi or Ethernet since upgrade.

    since the upgrade to Yosemite I am unable to connect to the Internet via wifi or Ethernet. All my other devices ipad/IPhone 6 work fine so issue is not with ISP.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I Have tried starting in safe mode and my internet works fine. But I lose all connectivity after reboot into normal mode.

  • I have a first gen IPad 1..have been very happy until two weeks ago...everytime I try to access the internet via WIFI...it blows me off.  I have tried 5-6 different WIFI spots...to be sure it was not mine at home...does the same thing everywhere...

    Recently I have lost the ability to access the internet via WIFI with my I Pad one first generation.  It blows me off every time I try.  I have
    tried 6 different WIFI spots to be sure it was not the WIFI at home.  Just doesn't work?????

  • Thinkpad Laptop X4F -Will not connect to internet via wifi

    I'm not computer savvy so please keep replies dummied down if at all possible. I used this laptop last on Friday and booted it today and cannot connect to the internet via wifi. No problems whatsoever before this. Checked with other computers and devices in the house and the wireless network and internet are working fine.
    Checked this laptop and wifi is on (airplane mode off), says its connected to the router (in connections) but icon in tray just scrolls and says "identifying". Using the LAN works fine. Looked at wireless card and it says device is working properly and is fully updated.
    This computer is running windows 8 which I'm still having trouble navigating through.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Have you tried turning off the Wifi and then back on? Windows 8 should have that if you press the start key and typing in Wi-Fi. Click on Settings when you search and something for connections should appear. Turn off WiFi then back on to see if that helps.

  • TS2756 How can i create a new usb connection (service)  on my iMac for sharing internet from my iPhone5 ( i seem have to deleted it )

    How can i create a new usb connection (service)  on my iMac for sharing internet from my iPhone5 ( i seem have to deleted it )
    i know its not a problem whit my carrier o data plan or sharing preferences on the ipone because when i use it un my laptop it works perfectly through
    the usb and even works on the Imac through wifi and bluethood tethering but NOT through usb!!.
    the problem is that trying to make it work i deleted the "profile" usb iphone on the network prefereces panel. Now i only have 3 options: ethernet / wifi / bluetooth
    but not the usb iPhone i used to have.
    And when i try to add a new one i dont get a USB option.
    can some one help me please??
    this is how it looks (after the bluetooth PAN i used to have USB iPhone option)

    The question would be more appropriate in the Mac forums as it is not really related to the iPhone.

  • AirPort Extreme standalone conflicting with internet via WiFi

    I have just purchased an AirPort Extreme to connect my hard drives (via a powered USB hub) to my MacBook Pro.
    I can only select either the internet via WiFi or the AirPort Extreme.
    How can I connect to my devices as well as the internet without having the internet feeding into the base station?

    If the AirPort base model has an external antenna port, you could maybe
    extend the range of that unit; or perhaps use it to expand the wi-fi network
    already provided by your wi-fi broadband unit.
    The original Airport cards were 802.11/b standard and are probably limited
    to some extent if your broadband wi-fi unit is having to send both 802.11/g
    and 802.11/b signals. If you don't need the newer protocol /g you may be
    able to stick to the earlier and directly more compatible wi-fi your older Macs
    use, by using the Airport base station and check into its configuration; and
    put that unit in line via ethernet to give it a signal to broadcast, to see.
    Also, some models of Airport (Extreme) Base Station, and maybe the other
    earlier white orb spaceship-like models, can be used to expand a network.
    The AirPort Admin Utility and administering the AirPort base station by
    Ethernet to set it up, may allow some configurations otherwise unattainable.
    A wireless bridge may be possible. I did a google/mac search
    & found a few things; probably too many to get one pure reply.
    [ general "expanding AirPort Extreme network" search ]
    -This kind of search now gets you the newest AEBS 802.11/n device.-
    Also: [ expanding AirPort network ] gives a few other results.
    I know you can use two AirPort base stations to expand a wi-fi network;
    but am not sure what it would take to make your broadband wi-fi unit
    give you a greater local range. An Ethernet cable of some limited length
    could put the older AirPort base station closer to the place you choose
    to use those Macs which now have virtually no wi-fi signal.
    What Mac computer models are those "older" ones you refer to? There
    may be other options, but I am not clearly focused on this topic now.
    I see two iMac G3's in your post... that's probably them, huh?!

  • My macbook pro cannot connect to internet via wifi

    I have a Macbook Pro 2010 OS X 10.8.3.  I cannot connect to internet via wifi (Air por).  My Macbook Pro does not recognize my network and when I select it from the list of network it asks for my network password.  when I type in my password a dialog box gives me timeout error.  Please could anyone help me.  I am using ethernet for my connection at the moment.  Do I need to reset my macbookpro?  if yes, what will happen to my applications and operating system (mountain lion)?

    When you use the Airport utility what happens?
    What is in the System Preferences control panel for Network settings?

    Wi-Fi Setup Considerations
    Things to consider before you begin
    Start with a plan for the physical layout. Depending on whether you have an existing Wi-Fi network, or if you are using your AirPort Express as a standalone Wi-Fi device, there are several options available for you to choose from.
    When using Ethernet, Cat6 cable is recommended.
    The layout you choose should take into account environmental factors such as physical access, location, range, radio frequency interference, etc.
    You will need to consider what AirPort Utility settings to adopt.
    You will need to know whether you are using an AirPort Express (802.11b/g) or an AirPort Express (802.11a/b/g/n).
    If you will be using more than one Wi-Fi base station, it may be helpful to read the article Extending the range of your wireless network by adding additional Wi-Fi base stations.

    Hello Rattisate,
    Sorry to hear you are not able to connect to Wi-Fi on your MacBook Pro.  I would be concerned about this too.  You can find information on how to troubleshoot this in the following article:
    Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues in OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628
    Follow the steps in the section labeled, "Symptom: My Mac does not connect to the Internet."
    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Unable to connect to internet via wifi

    I have had this problem ever since I received my preordered Dinc.  I can successfully connect to the internet via wifi anywhere but at my place of employment (very frustrating).  The Dinc sees and connects to the wifi but when I open the browser the following pop up window appears:
    “Security warning
    There are problems with the security certificate for this site.
    This certificate is not from a trusted authority”
    I then have a choice to continue, view certificate, or cancel.  When I view the certificate it states the organization, The Go Daddy Group Inc, unit, Go Daddy Class 2 Certification Authority and validity:
    VZ tech support stated that they never heard of it and recommended that I call HTC. 
    HTC said that this is a common problem and that Go Daddy uses a variable wild card for their SSL.  The conversation ended when they said that there is nothing that can be done.
    I finally contacted Go Daddy who said that they need the account number without that there is nothing that they can do.
    Laptops, Iphones, and other cell phones can get on the internet.
    My questions to this board are:
    Has anyone else had this issue?
    Does anyone know of a fix?
    Who is responsible for the fix VZ or HTC?
    Do you think that when (ever) the OTA update to Froyo will fix this?
    Thanks to all

    I'd talk to your IT dept at work.

  • Problems accessing the internet via wifi

    I'm not able to access internet via wifi but am connected to my wifi network.
    No problems when using 3G
    I guess it is a dns problem?
    when i check the wifi settings IP address and subnet mask
    have details but is blank for router, dns and search domains.
    What details should I input there?
    Would it mess anything up if I used the same settings that my iphone uses?
    I know wifi is ok because I can download books to my ipad with stanza using wifi.
    Sorry don't know too much about this sort of thing

    I am using a Time Capsule.

    Is their a limit to no. of devices that can connect?
    Yes, this would be determined by the size of the IP pool allocated on your time capsule router. Ordinarily this should be large enough by default to accommodate the number of devices you have.
    Not sure where to check
    "If DHCP is not working for you then you should check to see if your router is set to do DHCP and that MAC address filtering is not turned on"
    *First, please note that if you aren't really familiar with network setup you should probably give Apple support a call and they can walk you through this.* See: http://www.apple.com/support/expert/
    You can access your Time Capsule router using the Airport Utility which is found in the Applications/Utilities folder on your Macbook Pro. If you use this utility you can see how your router is setup. Post what you see here, i.e., Network name, radio mode, channel, Security password protection (WPA2 personal is best), etc. Of course, don't post any passwords.
    Don't forget to check that the IP Address selector in your iPad WiFi setting for your network (which can be DHCP, BootP or Static) is set to DHCP.
    I will turn Time capsule off for a while to try.
    At this point it might also be a good idea to also go to Settings > General > Reset on your iPad and select "Reset Network Settings".

  • New iPad having trouble connecting to Internet via Wifi.

    I have had all 3 iPads and I got the new one on Friday, however starting today I have had a lot of trouble connecting to the Internet via Wifi. I could not connect at home nor at school where I have had no problems before with my previous iPads, and all my friends are having not having any problems connecting to the Internet with their iPad 2's. Is there something wrong with the new iPads?
    I have a 3rd generations iPad 16GB Wifi only.

    Kdpe222-
    Then you may have a defective iPad  If you can show it to an Apple Store Genius, you may get a replacement if the Genius can not fix it.
    If there is no Apple Store near you, look for an Apple Authorized Repair Center.  There may be one in your city.  <Apple Authorized Repair Centers>
    To continue on your own, take a look at <Troubleshooting WiFi Networks and Connections>.
