Internet won't connect all of a sudden...

One night I was on my internet, watching a baseball game, and everything was working perfectly. Then the next morning, I went to open my internet and it wouldn't connect. I checked the other two computers in the house (that are using the same AirPort) to make sure it wasn't just the internet, and they both were working fine. I checked my Network Status and the AirPort and AirPort Settings were both green but my Network Settings, ISP,Internet, and Server were all red. I changed my IP Address to match that of the desktop that was working and it changed my Network Settings to green, but now the ISP, Internet, and Server are still in the red. I called in for technical support to our Internet Provider and even they didn't know what was wrong. Has this ever happened to anyone? Does anyone know what I should do? Anything at this point would be appreciated.
Thanks In Advance....

Hi. I just received a Macbook myself, and I am having the exact same problems.
I was wondering if anyone could help me as well.

Internet won't connect, but I am connected to WiFi

The internet won't connect on my Ipod Touch gen3. I have had it for a while, and usually works just fine. It worked just fine yesterday, and suddenly today it wouldn't connect. I am currently using WiFi on my laptop from same connection, and it works good on here. But on my Touch when i go to Safari, it says it can't connect to the server. Even though it says it's connected to WiFi with a strong signal.
Internet Provider: Frontier
DSL: Linksys
DHCP
IP Address: 173.87.27.198
Subnet Mask: 255.255.252.0
Router: 173.87.24.1
DNS: 66.133.150.12, 66.133.170.2
HTTP Proxy: Off
WiFi Address: D4:9A:20:A4:49:AC

The IP address starting with 169 is self-assigned and means that your router is not giving your iPod Touch an IP address via DHCP. In this condition you will not be able to access the Internet.
You might try powering down and restarting your router and see if the problem is corrected (your IP address should be something like 192.168.1.x and you should see an address for the router, DNS, etc.). Reset the network settings on your iPod before attempting to connect.
If this doesn't solve your problem test your iPod on another network (Starbucks, Borders, etc.). If it works there then you may need a new router. If it does not work on other networks your iPod may need repair.
By the way, your problem is different from the OP.

Internet won't connect. Works on iPhone but won't open on MacBook

The internet won't connect, I get an exclamation point on my icon. My two iPhones connect ok but I can't get my Mac book to connect.
How do I check, my diagnostics say I should call my provider but the other devices work great.

If facetime works, then the internet IS connecting.

Slow internet connection all of a sudden x2

I have a similar problem. My internet is running super slow all of a sudden on a high speed DSL line that used to take only seconds to transer the data. My MacBookPro has also had the hard drive replaced recently. Are there viruses and spyware that can now infiltrate Macs? This type of performance is unacceptable in a high priced Mac.

It's highly unlikely to be any sort of 'virus' ...
What does http://www.speedtest.net/ show as your up/down speed?
Have you talked to your ISP about the drop in speed (may be them)?
Have you configured Primary and Secondary DNS servers in System Preferences/Network/Airport TCP/IP Tab ?
Have you changed the MTU (path of discovery) setting above 1492?

Airport card can see networks but can't connect all of a sudden

I have an older MacBook running 10.6.8 (snow leopard) and it's been working fine. All of a sudden, it can see networks, but cannot connect. I get an alert with an exclamation point and "no Internet connection". My iPad can connect just fine; same network, same location as usual, so I know it's not an issue with the network/router (my husband's computer works fine as well). If my airport card went, I wouldn't be able to see any networks at all, right? Is there anything I can do? My AppleCare has run out, due to the age of my computer and I don't want to put hundreds into fixing it, either (nor can I afford it). Has anyone had this happen? Any suggestions? Thanks!

Internet won't connect on iPod touch?

At the beginning of the week my internet stopped working, someone fixed it for me yesterday and it works fine the the computer but i can't get the wifi to work.
It still pops up on my ipod same as always called linksys, it will give me three bars but tell me its not connected to the internet if i try to visit a website.
Oldly enough it will let the google homepage load and thats it. I have tried to reset my network settings, restart the router, renew lease but nothing works.
One other thing i can mention is that when i restarted my computer and logged in a box popped up called dial up and asked me to connect to the internet.
Also my wifi is not locked and doesn't require a password, and my sisters laptop won't connect to the internet either.

Some background might help:
- What make/model router are you using?
- Does your router have the latest firmware? (Check the manufacturer's support web page)
- What security type are you using? (None, WEP, WPA, WPA2)
- Does your router use DHCP?
- Have you tried powering off and restarting the router?
If you are connected to the router but can't access the internet then the possibility exists that the DHCP service in your router is not giving you a local network IP address.
To check on this go to:
*Settings > WiFi >* +your network name+
and press the ">" to the right to bring up the connection details.
Report all that you see. If the IP address starts with 169 then the router is not giving a local network IP address and you will not be able to access the internet.

After updating my iPhone 4s to iOS 6.1, Verification Failed: An SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made. My wifi connection works; the icon is present at the top left. But Internet won't connect, be it Safari, App Store

After updating my iPhone 4s to iOS 6.1, Verification Failed: "An SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made." My wifi connection works; the icon is present at the top left. But Internet apps won't connect, be it Safari, App Store or Facebook & instagram. Push notifications also work so posts from Facebook and Instagram still pop-up. Does any one have any ideas? Thanks.

I have the same problem. Worked fine on Friday. My VPN or any ssl site do not work on my iPhone 5. Both work perfect on iPhone 4 and 4s

Internet won't connect on imac but works on other devices

new-ish 20inch imac won't connect to any wireless networks (our own and the coffee shop next door) but other devices (iphones, macbooks) will.....this imac is used as a register in my retail store and without internet we are unable to process credit card transactions..we are losing business. HELP!!! thank you!!!

HI,
In most cases this is about the Internet Speed or the portion of it your computer gets that iChat can see at the moment it tests the speed during it's launch process.
That is to say that as you start up ichat it tests the speed it can see.
this can be effected by other computer doing a download and "taking" more of the Bandwidth or rather leaving a smaller amount for your Mac.
The same is true if your computer is already doing a download or using the Internet heavily.
Of course at that moment your ISP could also have cut the speed you get.
If you launch iChat and go to the Video Menu > Connection Doctor what does the Capabilities tab say ?
This may have red crosses against some items.
Also check iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section > Bandwidth Limit
This should not be set at 100kbps fro Video chats.
Have you tried restarting the computer ?

*** HOME button won't work all of a sudden - help!

I have a weird problem. My phone hasn't been dropped on the ground or in water but all of a sudden, the home button doesn't work anymore. Nothing feels broken on the phone (i.e. the button doesn't feel like it won't press down) but whenever I'm in an app and need to exist, pressing the home button does nothing! If I'm in my email and want to surf Safari, I have to reboot my phone - which is obviously very annoying.
I tried restoring my iPhone as both a new phone and from my latest backup but it still doesn't work - bummer. Is my phone broken or does anyone have any tips and tricks that could get it up and running again?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Possibly a hardware problem. Mine developed that issue, although at first a really hard press worked. Apple replaced my phone.

Ipod mini wont connect all of a sudden, always has before.

all of a sudden my mini wont connect. It always has worked before, but today when I connected it wouldnt. A window pops up saying "You have inserted a disc containing no volumes MAC OSX can read. and so on. And just doesnt work. i am using the same cord I always have and my ipod is working fine on its own. whats up?
Please, I need help desperately.

I can fix it for all of you
you need to go to
www.google.com
search for ipod linux and download the ipod linux installer
warning the ipod will lose all of the songs on it by doing this fix
use the ipod linux installer tell the installer during the installation that you want to keep the stock ipod operating system on it and the new linux os on it as well
then after install you will notice the ipod will not boot this is no problem ipod linux isn't designed to run off of the ipod mini so when you use it with a ipod mini the mini frezzes on start up
then reset by pressing the play and menu option together
it will reset your ipod and then you will be able to use your ipod once again i had my ipod completly crash
and was able to restore it using this trick but warning after your ipod is reset please use the ipod updater
or you will experiance problems and i do mean problems
this is the trick apple doesn't want you to know about so they can charge you to get your ipod fixed and after posting this it will most likly be deleted
I am not responsible for anything that goes wrong worst thing that happens is you still have to send it into apple
so try your luck and see what happen

My AirPort Express was successfully set up, but internet won't connect.

I recently purchased an AirPort Express to be used as the main source of Wi-Fi in my home. I followed the instructions in both the manual and on the computer to set up a new network, and the AirPort set up successfully and lit up green. Only problem is that when I tried to connect to Safari and Mail, it said there was no internet connection, even though it recognized the network. When I went to change the settings, it said there was no valid IP address. I've tried this on 3 different computers, resetting it for each one, and got the same results every time.
If you have any ideas to what could be causing this and how it could be fixed, could you please help?
Thanks.

I'm currently connected to the internet from a broadband cable modem, as are the other computers I tried this on.
Whenever you connect something different to a cable modem, they usually have to be power-cycled for the change to be recognized. It wouldn't hurt to reset everything else while you're waiting.
Here's what Tesserax usually says in this sort of situation:
It's always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of your network components when changing configurations.
Please try the following:
o Power-off the broadband cable modem, AirPort Express Base Station (AX) and computer(s); Order is not critical. Leave all off for at least 10-15 minutes.
o Power-on the cable modem; wait at least 10 minutes.
o Plug-in the AX; wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s).
Your Express should be configured to connect via Ethernet, configure IPv4 "via DHCP", and connection sharing should be set to "share a public IP address" which will distribute individual IP addresses to your computers.
It should go without saying, but also be sure your computers are all connected to your Express's wireless network (under the "fan" icon in the menubar), and that their network port configurations are correct - if all this doesn't make sense to you, reply for more help.

Such a slow connection - all of a sudden?

this is so frustrating!
i had a lot of issues with my macbook pro the end of last week. they decided it was so much of a hardware issue to just give me a new computer. they did a data transfer so all is well. i decided to change our internet to password protected last night (it hasnt been yet but i think our apartment neighbors are stealing it off us because in the last month or so its gotten much slower) i added a password (i think i did it righ!?) and now my internet is running REALLY slow. it takes forever for pages to pull up- some pages dont pull up - my ftp server is usually really fast and it is taking over 45 minutes right now..
could i have switched some settings when i changed to a password protected network? why else would a new computer (granted there is a lot on here that is coming off!) but my other computer had all the same information and was still very fast.
any insight would be awesome!
thanks in advance for your time,
keri

Maybe you have reached your qutoa of downloads, since your neighbours have been using your connection. Some internet providers limit download speed after you reach a certain amount.. find out, that could be your problem.. Simply putting a password on your account will not slow your connection, unless you have changed other settings...
