Internet won't work on iMac even though I'm connected to the Internet , any advice?

My iMac shows its connected to the Internet via airport wifi but Internet is not working. Works on other devices such as my iPod. Please help!

Have a look at the suggestion in this link:

It talks about a Safari problem, but someone on here last week couldn't connect on any browser for a few weeks. Apparently the problem appeared out of nowhere.. Once he created a new location as described in the article connectivity was restored. Hope it works for you.

I just bought a new pc and My laptop can connect to it but my airport utility won't recognize it. Even though it does connect to the internet about every 15 minutes the internet shuts off.

I just bought a new pc and for our internet connection we have an airport express. My laptop can connect to it but my airport utility won't recognize it. Even though it does connect to the internet about every 15 minutes the internet shuts off. What should I do?

If you've not yet tried, unpower the AppleTV for a minute or so and restart - this occasionally corrects issues.
If not and the software update seems to have caused an issue, go to the Settings menu and choose to Restore it (this will erase all settings) to reapply current firmware.
Alternatively try to do so via iTunes:

My Firefox won't let me browse the Internet, even though I'm connected to the Internet.

Excuse me, but my Firefox 3.6 just randomly stopped working. It won't let me browse the Internet anymore-- the error message it always gives me is "Unable to connect", even though I'm fully connected to the Internet. Earlier I opened up Safari and Internet Explorer 9-- both, in which, let me browse the Internet, and I had a full connection. But, whenever I use Firefox now, it says "Unable to connect". And every time I type in a URL on it, Firefox gives me the ''SAME'' error message. I don't know what to do now. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and it does the same thing. So now I am stuck with using Safari, when I really wanna use my Firefox. Why is it doing this?

Make sure you are not set to Work Offline in File menu.
There is a possibility that your connection dropped even briefly, more so if using wireless. Make sure Firefox is not set to "[v] Work Offline" in File menu just above Exit.
By default, Firefox 3.5 and 3.6 will automatically use offline mode if there is no network connection. Under certain conditions, after the connection is reestablished it may remain in offline mode without the user's knowledge. Firefox 4 and newer prevents this behavior by default. To prevent this behavior in versions 3.5 and 3.6, add an entry to the '''about:config''' options, as follows.
* Type '''about:config''' in Location (address) bar
* Right-click on the about:config page to open the right-click context menu and use "New > Boolean" to create a new Boolean preference. Name: '''network.manage-offline-status'''. Value: '''false'''

Ipod Touch can't browse Safari, even though it is connected to the Internet with a full signal...

I asked a question a few days ago about my Ipod Touch's Internet not working and someone suggested that it was because my router has the same IP as the DNS when using the DHCP setting. So what I did was changed the IP to Google's universal IP (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) and I am still having the problem of not being able to connect to the Internet. My router is an SMCWBR14S-N4 and I updated it to the latest firmware (September 2010). I was looking at an article about iOS recommended settings for WI-FI (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199) and I did everything it told me to. I set my SSID to a unique name. My network is not hidden. MAC address filtering is turned off. My security is WPA2-Personal (AES). My network is 2.4 GHz and is set to 802.11 b/g/n. My channel setting is auto. Channel width is 20 MHz. My only confusion is the DHCP server and NAT. I believe I only have one DHCP server on my network but I am unsure of how to figure that out. I believe NAT is only enabled on my router but again I am unsure if it is or not.
My Network settings are:
DHCP
IP Address 192.168.2.101
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Router 192.168.2.1
DNS 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4
Search Domains and Client ID are blank.
HTTP Proxy is off.
(edit)
Correction: I am aware that the WI-FI disconnects when locked. I set my Touch to never auto-lock and have not locked it manually.
* When I reset my network settings, it did not work.
* When I flip the WI-FI button off and back on, it seems to fix the problem but only temporarily.
* When connecting to Safari I get the message "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet."
* If it were a DNS issue, I would get the error message "Safari cannot connect to the server" right?
* My laptop can connect wirelessly to my Internet just fine.
Anyway, I am asking for even the slightest bit of information that might help me since I have tried everything and am still unable to fix the problem.

I can't seem to log into Adobe Creative Cloud even though I'm connected to the internet?

My computer is connected to the internet, but I can't seem to log into Adobe Creative Cloud to use InDesign....I've tried all the obvious tricks, restarting my comp/switching the internet off and on etc..... Any other bright ideas?

I think Adobe has problems with its server since the last 2 days. Everyone is experiencing these problems world wide. Not all the time but several hours a day.

TS1368 Even though I can connect to the Internet, I cannot connect to iTunes. I bought some hints for a Crickler game and cannot retrieve them using 3 g or wifi. I went into the confirmation email on the purchase and tried to report problem but couldn't

I can't connect to iTunes. I have Internet connection with wifi and 3G. I bought some hints for Crickler and I cannot claim them. I tried to report the problem using the link on the purchase confirmation email but I can't get into ITunes to report it and I suspect that's why I can't claim the hints. I have an ipad2. Could iTunes be corrupted? I tried rebooting and that didn't work.

oh I'm not actually using a router, I'm using my macbook pro as a wifi router by turning on network sharing.
And I'm sharing the connection through PPPoe

Mail will not send though I am connected to the internet

I can receive mail but am unable to send even though I am connected to the internet. The Network Diagnostic does not highlight so am unable to use this function. Can anyone help??

I have had many issues like this. My login's & passwords are correct, but yet, no mail. I then would then re-enter passwords ( the same ones ) and it would work.
Since it cannot connect to the SMTP server try the following:
1) open up a terminal and see if you can even ping the server ( example my server gateway is smtp.att.yahoo.com
ping smtp.att.yahoo.com
$ ping smtp.att.yahoo.com
PING smtp1.sbc.mail.am0.yahoodns.net (68.142.198.11): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 68.142.198.11: icmp_seq=0 ttl=48 time=29.924 ms
64 bytes from 68.142.198.11: icmp_seq=1 ttl=48 time=33.836 ms
which means the path is good ( which it should be since you are getting mail from your pop server )
can you login to your ISP with login & password and check mail?

My MacBook Pro will not open any application or program that requires internet, even though I am connected to the web.

My MacBook Pro will not open any app or program that requires Internet, even though I am connected to the web. I recently installed Norton AntiVirus and think it may have changed a setting that I couldn't find. I uninstalled Norton and it didn't help. Every time I open Safari, iTunes or any other program that tries to connect to the Internet, it crashes. Strangely enough, Skype still works, but nothing else.
I have OSx 10.6.8.
I have tried erasing plists, and all the standard troubleshooting, ie resetting modem, restarting computer, reloading Safari from disk.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Change your router channel. Sometimes this is all you will have to do.
Power cycling the router. Read the router's user manual or contact their tech support for instructions.
System Preferences/Internet & Network/Network
Unlock the padlock
Locations: Automatic
Highlight Airport
Click the Assist Me button
In the popup window click the Diagnostic button.
System Preferences/Network- Unlock padlock. Highlight Airport. Network Name-select your name. Click on the Advanced button. Airport/Preferred Networks-delete all that is not your network.
Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined." Click the OK button and lock the padlock. Restart your computer.

I uninstalled Norton and it didn't help.
To properly uninstall Norton software follow these instructions - Locate Symantic Solutions folder inside the Applications folder at the root level of your HD, launch the Symantec Uninstaller application, select the Symantec AntiVirus Corporate, Norton AntiVirus & Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect entries and click the Uninstall button.
Confirm your decision when prompted and then enter your administrator password in the space provided.
Retart your computer & Norton should be gone for good.
If the above does not work, download a copy of Symantec’s RemoveSymantecMacFiles removal utility. This utility will launch Terminal & remove the Norton components.

My imac and ipad2 will not connect to the internet with Windstream using an 2wire DSL modem.

Help my brand new imac and ipad2 will not connect to the internet with Windstream using an "2WIRE" DSL modem. Windstream tech service is useless. i can connect with the built in router through Ethernet or wireless, but still no connecting to internet, help! windstream said everything is working on their end, yea right. What i do know is that both the mac and ipad work at other places and can connect with wireless connected to the internet, so i know it's not the apple products.
these are brand new machines with lion.
This is my first mac, so I’m still new to how it works, which is not helping either so a detailed help would be great. Please help before my wife losses it
thanks

There is a 2701HG-B, and a 2701HG-D. If not labelled on the modem, ask Windstream which one they presently supply or how to tell the difference.
By the way tell your wife it isn't that bad. At least you have an ethernet DSL modem. There were times where DSL modems had RJ-11, USB, and Ethernet, and all three were used to provide access. At least now only the craziest DSL providers still use those modems.
