IPad 2 fully connected to Wi-Fi and a VPN, but not getting any internet access
I'm on iOS 8.3 using an iPad 2, and the other day out of nowhere, I stopped getting internet connection to my iPad. I am still connected to my WiFi network as well as a VPN I was using before I lost internet connection (which is weird, as I figured I'd have lost that), and the WiFi icon is still there. I've tried multiple methods to try and fix the problem:
updating the iPad (I was on iOS 8.1 when I lost connection)
forgetting and then rejoining the network
renewing the lease under the WiFi network's settings
rebooting the iPad
turning WiFi off and on
turning airplane mode and Do Not Disturb mode on, then keeping the iPad turned off for 10 minutes (as suggested here: iPad connected to wifi, but no wifi icon and no internet access?)
unplugging and then plugging back in the router's power
turning off the VPN (it hadn't caused any problems for the week I had been using it, but I wanted to make sure)
doing a hard reset on the iPad
and NONE of these have done anything to help. I have no idea what to do now, as I can't seem to find really anymore possible solutions. Also, yes, I checked the network IP address and it doesn't start off with "169". And the iPad is the only thing that isn't getting internet access, every other device in my house is doing fine, so I don't think it's the WiFi network itself. Unfortunately I can't try connecting to another WiFi network either to see if I can still actually connect to the internet, as I live in a semi-rural area. I've never run into any issue like this in the 3 years I've had the iPad, and I have no idea what's going on. Will I need to take it into an Apple Store to have it fixed, or is there anything left I might be able to do myself?
When you unplugged the router did you leave it off for at least 3.minutes? Try unplugging it again, waiting & then bootimg back up.
Try to connect your iPad again,
If you have another iOS device that is connected, check it's wifi settings under your network the IP address settings & cross compare it to your iPad 2
Some routers also have settings where you can increase allowable connections. Have you tried connecting just your iPad with no other devices connected?
if that doesn't work, I would suggest you try & find a public wifi hotspot to see if you can connect there. If not, then I would suggest your next trip be to a Genius Bar to Let Apple diagnose the issue.

Connected to Router, but not getting any Internet access
Hello,
So I recently got my parent's old router. It's a Linksys WRT54G. I had used it with my MBP when I lived with them a year ago, and I never had a problem. Airport was always able to locate their network and log into it.
6 months ago I moved out and have been using a direct Ethernet connection to my Road Runner Cable modem. No problem.
Yesterday I did some rearranging of my apartment, and now my computer isn't near a cable outlet. So I got the old router old and started getting it running.
Over many stress filled hours I have it at the point where my MBP is connected to the network (I named it, gave it a password, it shows a strong signal), but I have no Internet access. I even ran the Network Diagnostics a couple times, and it said my Internet connection appeared to be working correctly. Yet I can't open up any pages in Safari.
I don't know if I need to change any of the router settings?? Or if it's just an old router and I need a new one?? I've unplugged, replugged, and restarted everything numerous times, and still nothing.
Thank you!Hi Rod,
Let me start by mentioning that when I hit the 'reply' button to write this post, it took more than 6 min for the page to appear. During that time, the 'connected time' displayed to the right of the 'radar' icon slid in and out dozens of times (indicating a dropped connection). If you have the 'magic' broth, I'd be happy to drink it.
You must have seen my posting on the InformationWeek website, which I wrote on after reading the review of the MacBook products in their email newsletter that I receive. I normally don't post on blogs but after reading the pulp in that review - after trying AppleCare and the Genius bar and seeing all of the posts here (with no fix forthcoming from Apple), I felt the need to both vent and to seek a solution outside of these discussion pages.
I have posted the details of my MBP/Airport connectivity issues in detail on other threads here but I would be happy to reiterate them.
My problems appeared to start after the 10.5.2 update. My connections became unbearably slow, to the point that I would begin to get Safari browser connection error messages (i.e., no server response...not connected to the internet, etc.) Then I noticed that the 'connected time' displayed to the right on the 'radar' icon in the menu bar was 'sliding' in and out (I didn't realize what this meant at the time but soon realized that every time it 'slid' out (disappeared) represented a 'droped' connection and when it 'slid' back (reappeared) it represented a reconnection. Both at home and at the office, I run under static IP addresses (home = MaxDSL with Westell modem to APEBSg; office = T-1x2 with NetGear). But about a month ago, I did some more testing. I run VM Ware and Windows Vista and my assumption had been, since Vista, running under VM Ware, utilizes all of the Mac I/O ports, that Vista would share the same slowness with the Mac Airport Wi-Fi. I tried it and, much to my surprise, the connection speed was great (like normal). I then tried an Ethernet hardwire to the Ethernet port on the APEBSg and got the same great connection speed.
So, MBP Airport works with Vista but not with Mac OS and by-passing the Airport Wi-Fi with a hardwire works with both Vista and Mac OS. It's only the Mac OS trying to go through the onboard Airport that gets choked down to unacceptable connection speeds.
I have tried all of the suggestions posted on the discussion board (resetting the CSM, PMU, etc). But, like everyone else, to no avail.
So, it's all about being connected via Wi-Fi (with my 'portable'). That's my problem. And, as you can see from all of the posts, it's not just me. So, you must have received the 'wonder machine' when you got your MBP. My MBP is a 1st gen but you can read posts here of people who just bought theirs (some who indicated that they were 'switchers') and it wouldn't connect right out of the box with 10.5.2. So, I realized that it wasn't 'me' - it was a real problem.
And, I might add that I've been an 'enthusiastic' Apple user since 1979. I've owned almost every model along the way - except for the LISA. In the past year alone, I've encouraged four people to 'switch' to Mac (three of whom I actually accompanied to the Apple Store and helped them with their selection). So, I'm a longtime - happy - user (my wife has a PBG4, my daugher a MacBook, my son a new MBP, plus I have an iMac and a CubeG4) who has hit a bump in the road and have become very frustrated by the fact that Apple does not appear to be responding to a real issue.
I welcome any advice that you might have to offer. -
I used to use Movie Maker and it would be able to handle lots of file uploads and big projects. I figure iMovie can do the same since it's newer and it's on my iMac. I was working on a project for a few months, it was working fine up until about a few days ago when the project file just stopped working. Not getting any audio or visuals and the screen went grey. I hope to not lose the project file as I've spent a lot of time on it. The project will still show up in iMovie, but it won't play. Other project files will, but this one won't for some reason. It's my first time using this program and I assumed it would be fine, but now it's causing me big problems. Anyone else run into a similar problem?
But it is I jsut can sync, back up files, or anything becuase its stuck at this screene and wont do execute when i click either of those button

I was told I could sync my music on my pc with my ipad2 by an apple agent. I hooked my ipad2 up to my pc and did so, but now I can not open any of my apps on my ipad2. when I try it just flickers and does not open. Can anyone help?
On you iPad, force close all the Apps in the multitask window.
Follow these steps to force an app to close:
From the Home screen, click the Home button twice.
Tap and hold on the app.
When it starts to jiggle, tap the to close it on by one until all cleared
Now do a Soft reset of your iPad:
Hold both Home and Sleep button for around 10secs until you see the Apple logo then release. After it returns to Home screen, try your Apps again and see if this resolves the issue. -

Imac wi-fi, it says I have a connection but can't get any internet access
Hi All,
Help please, just got a new iPad air and trying to use the Wi-Fi function on the iMac to access internet on the iPad. Used to be able to do this on previous tablet but now iMac won't wi-fi any of my devices- including new iPad. All devices and iMac say there is a connection but when I open internet apps it tells me there is no connection. Have reset iPad, turned wi-fi on/off, turned internet sharing on/off everything! Think the problem is the iMac, can anyone suggest a solution?
CheersI have checked the network in the system preference. The Built-In-Ethernet has a green light beside it and says "Built-In-Ethernet is currently active and has the IP address (bunch of numbers). You are connected to the Internet via Built-In-Ethernet."
When I click on "Assist me" and then "Diagnostics", The Network Diagnostics screen pops up and Scans for a while. There's five tabs on the left. Built-In-Ethernet is green, Network Settings is Green, and ISP is green. After scanning for a while, the tab by Internet goes red and says Failed below it, and the tab by Server goes red and says Failed below it. Then it asks me "Have you ever used this computer to successfully connect to the internet?" I say yes, and then it asks for the network port configuration that I would like to use. I choose Built-In-Ethernet, and it scans for a while and tells me "This computer appears to have a working internet connection, but cannot find www.apple.com. You may have typed the address incorrectly.
My neighbor has a wireless network that is unsecured. I use it all the time on my ipod touch. My imac finds it, connects to it, but I still have the same problem. No browser or mail will work.

I Checked my email on my home computer and now it's not showing up on my phone. How do I get it started back?
No idea what you mean by "connect the server back to your phone," but it sounds like you're using an archaic POP based email account / service. You'll need to use an email provider that offers IMAP, Exchange or iCloud so you can keep all devices in sync

I've been getting this error on several websites, this is the latest one it just came up on. I got it while trying to sign onto this page.
I am able to connect using IE 9, Windows 7 Enterprise.Under Advanced>Encryption:Certificate>Validation both boxes were checked, to Use OCSP server to validate the certificate and if the connection fails, then to consider the certificate as Invalid.
I unchecked the second box (consider the cert as invalid) and now I am able to connect to the websites. This is a business computer and I don't surf with it very much (when I do it is to answer IT questions using Google searches) so I'm not too concerned about turning off the validation.
Thanks for you assistance to both '''cor-el''' and to''' mha007'''. -
So I updated my Ipod touch to the newest software on my pc laptop which is windows 7. The software update wiped all of my songs and apps off of my Ipod. This is not that big of a deal because the songs and apps are still in my library and apps folder in itunes on my computer. The problem is, when I go to sync all my songs and apps back onto my ipod the tracks and apps are not syncing. It's almost as if the computer thinks all the songs are still already on the ipod but they are not. What do I do here?
- Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next, restore from backup. -
I don't have unlimited texting so I have those who text me a lot send their text messages to my e-mail address [email protected]
I reply through the gmail app on my phone and it's been working out fine for the past year. The other day I was experimenting with iMessage on my MacBook and i responded to a few messages from people with iPhones through my MacBook. I didn't like it so I logged out because suddenly I wasnt getting e-mailed those messages like I was before. Now that I'm logged out I can recieve any messages and a friend says that it auto responds with "this person can't be reached with iMessage at this time"
What can I or my friend do? I don't want to buy an iphoneyes other people can send an email to me through their text message app on their iphones and it works fine. theres just one person who cannot and she lives in a different state. i did tell her to delete the entire thread of messages that i have with her but i'm not sure if she did it correctly and may still be replying to a message that i sent through iMessage days ago. i just sent her a message about turning on her MMS. i am also asking her to send the messages to a completely different address that she doesnt have in her phonebook so hopefully that will work.

Help! I recorded odometer readings on my work calender on my iphone 4S all last year and now my calenders are blank from September2012 and earlier. It is backed up to icloud. What happened and can I get that information back somehow?
Go to iCloud.com, select the calendar.
Is the information listed in the calendar?
If it is, it should be syncing to the device.
If it is not, then that information is gone.
