IPad 2 Internet Problem!

My iPad 2 is connected to WiFi, it has a full signal strength, but whenever I try to use Safari, or any other web based application, it says I am not able to
access the internet, even though I am clearly connected to WiFi. (I also had 4 other devices connected to the WiFi, I thought that was the problem, but even
after I disconnected those devices, the internet on the iPad still did not work)
*The internet is working fine on all my other devices, my iMac, my Macbook Pro, and my iPhone 5, it is just my iPad 2 that seems to be having a problem.
Please help me resolve this issue as fast as possible, it is very urgent.
Thank You
~Michael S.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

IPad update problem

I have an IPad 2 version 4.3.5. I cannot update my apps or get icloud on it because it needs to be updated. When i plug it into my laptop and try to update it to the latest ios from itunes it runs for a while but near the end of the update it stops and says network error cannot complete update. I have checked my network and always have full connection sometimesi will be using the internet on another device or watching netflix on apple tv and neither will have internet problems. I have tried to update it multiple times on different days and it always does the same thing. Can anyone help?

No specific error messages ?
If not: I'd recommend turning off security software(temporarily), like firewalls or virusscanners and try updating again
if that fails: try updating from another computer and another network.

Good luck

My iPads Internet is really bad

My iPads Internet is really bad everything else in the house is fine and its not that everything else is is hogging the wifi because it has been fine for ages but all of a sudden it's being really bad, does anyone know why?

What is really bad - slow, drops connection, won't connect, short range? You need to provide specifics if you want an answer.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

Firewall is blocking iPad internet access

Hello,
my iPad is connected to the internet via WiFi and a DSL-Router/Modem with a build-in firewall. Unfortunately, some of the applications on the iPad have problems going through the firewall, e.g. Facetime, all of my configured EMail-Accounts or Find-My-iPad. If I turn off the firewall in the router everything works fine. Of course I don't want to to turn off the firewall. I assume the problem is, that I have to allow these services/ports to pass through the firewall. Is there any way to find out what ports these services are using, so that I can open them in the firewall?
Best regards
Alexander

Email ports should be findable from the provider.
Try google for the others.

Help! Strange Internet problems!?

We just got weird internet problems! Very annoying! I'm writing from iPhone now!
Facts:
-Starting today, both our Macs started having problems accessing only SOME parts of Internet ?! E.g: Can access google, but NOT gmail.com from Safari. Can access both from Firefox. Can't access this forum from any browser?!
-Mail downloads/sends some accounts but not others
-Tried restarting Macs & modem & router
- called Time Warner
- no recent changes to macs
Any ideas!?

More weird results.
It turns out CAN access this forum from Safari browser, but it takes a VERY long time to load.
I tried our iPad. I can access this forum fine and it loads right away using same WiFi as laptops?!
I still can't access gmail.com from Macs or iPad, but can access it just fine from iPhone (via AT&T, not home network.) Errors: Opera says "Session closed by remote server". Safari on iPad says " server stopped responding". Safari on Macs says "can't open ... because server isn't responding"
MOST urls load fine and super fast. Only a few don't load at all (e.g: gmail.com) via home network. Others load fine on iPad on home network but VERY slow on Macs (e.g. this forum)?! Everything seems to work fine from iPhone using AT&T network.
I'm really confused?!

ISO 8 a lot of facebook Internet problems it's annoying and I don't know what I have to do about it would some one can help me with that please.

I Have an I pad 2 it was really working so well until I update it to ISO 8 many facebook and Internet problems it's become really slow and annoying I hope Apple will resolve that problem soon
Thanks and regards
Tarek .

Until Apple resolves such issues, there is not much we can do.
However, try to restart your iPad. This helps more than most people realize.
I hope this helps, but I cannot guarantee anything till Apple releases further bug fixes.

Slow internet problem on my iMac solved by installing Google Chrome browser

Slow internet problem on my iMac solved by installing Google Chrome. My daughter came with her macbook pro loaded with OSX 10.6.8 but running Chrome and she could open all my problem websites instantly. So fault was in Safari. Thanks for all your help. My original post has disappeared

Original post is at:
All of my pre 2012 macs extremely slow to load web pages but my son's 2014 mac and my iphone and ipad 2 load same sites instantly

Weird internet problem / ssl connection error, site loads in safari not in firefox or other way around

I really can't figure out this problem. Search the internet tried all kinds of things, nothing help so far.
I have a Macbook Pro (Lion originally installed) running on Mavericks (all latest updates). SSD installed and the DVD tray is replaced by the original HDD.
The laptop wasn't running very smooth anymore so decided to give it a fresh Mavericks install (even though I know it's not really necessary for mac, it helped, everything is much faster except a weird internet problem came up).
After freshly installing Mavericks I couldn't get into my google account anymore, just wouldn't load. Tried Safari (use this normally) and Firefox and Chrome, this last was gave a SSL connection error, both Safari and FF said the website couldn't be loaded because the server didn't respond. For Gmail I use Mailplane which is just stuck on a white page. I tried repairing the keychain, repaired disk and disk permissions, cleaned browsers, turned off firewall and antivirus (Shopos) started in safe mode, checked time settings which were all good. Nothing of this helped. I even ended up creating a usb bootdisk for Mavericks, formatted the disk and reinstalled from the start just Mavericks and nothing else, started Safari, still the same problem. As even this didn't help I figured it's not worth reinstalling all software so put back my backup.
Now I ended up somehow only being able to use Gmail normally in Firefox, Chrome still gives SSL error and Safari can load the inbox, but I can't open any messages. I get the error there is a problem with the connection. If I try in Basic HTML mode it surprisingly does work.
You would say, just use Firefox, finished...but the thing is that sometimes random websites won't load in Firefox, when I load the same site in Safari it works perfectly.
O yes, I also tried the connect to my iPhone and use the Cellular data network, then it's no problem using Gmail in Safari normally. You would say it's a router problem, but I have another Macbook Pro (just one model later running Mountain Lion) this one works perfectly with every browser. Also my iPhone does everyting logged into the WiFi network.
You can understand I really have no clue what's going on here, I don't see any logic. I can only think of a hardware problem in my Macbook, but don't see how that could cause these problems.
I hope someone is ably to help me ?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Internet problems on my macbook pro and ipod touch with camera.

Hi,
For the last week or so I have been experiencing internet problems with my macbook and iPod touch with camera. I'll be online and clicking different news articles and suddenly the address bar will start to open a link but will not complete it. So what I do is go up to the signal bar and click turn off airport then turn it back on and that will temporarily solve the problem. Same solution on my iPod, I turn off the wifi and turn it back on. It is very frustrating for both devices. I will include as much info as possible. I have a NetGear RangeMax wireless router model WPN824v3. I was wondering if changing the wireless settings on that would solve my problem. I have the channel on 9. Mode on b and g. Security option on WPA-PSK [TKIP] with password. I would be happy for any help with this issue. Also I hope I'm following correct posting protocol. I haven't been on this forum in a while.

Sig,
Thanks for the advice. I finally tried a solution after doing nothing. LoL. What I did do was change the channel the router was on from 9 to 7. I think I've done something like this in the past when I had slow internet and that worked out well too. I thought that would help and so far so good. Not an interruption so far but we shall see. To the guy or girl who expressed that they had the same problem as me I would try changing the channel of your router like I did. I will monitor the situation and see if it totally solved my problem or not and keep this thread updated. Thanks people

IPad syncing problem - HELP!

I keep getting this message "...cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional ...space needed)" and yet I seem to have plenty of space on the iPad.

I was thinking of restoring, but I've never done it... should I?

Very Strange Internet Problems

I own a MacBook Pro 15.4 Inch that I purchased about a year and a half ago. I recently upgraded to Leopard and have all the latest updates. I am from the US, and when I am home my internet works fine. However, I am on travel to Seoul, South Korea right now and am having a very strange internet problem.
As far as I can tell, the URLs that I type in to my browser are, sparodially, not translated correctly into the webpages that they are supposed to represent. This problem is probably effective 75% of the time, and the rest of the time my internet works roughly correctly. For instance, when I enter http://www.google.com, instead of being taken to the Google homepage, I am taking to the homepage of Jammin Beats DJ Service, an obscure website about a company in northern Pennsylvania. The actual URL of this website is http://www.jamminbeats.com, but when my internet is malfunctioning, 'jamminbeats' is for all intensive purposes replaced by 'google' (that is, it applies not only to the main page, but to sub pages, so "http://www.google.com/weddings" takes you to "http://www.jamminbeats.com/weddings" and etc). For most other webpages, one of two things happens. Either I am taken to the correct page but it is displayed without any images or frames (just the html text and links), or I am taken to a blank page with the header "Under Construction", which I assume is the default for a page that doesn't exist. This is why it seems as though the URLs are simply being interpretted erroneously.
This problem occurs when connecting both to the wireless and the wired internet at my hotel, and it occurs on both Safari and Firefox, so it is not a connection-specific or browser-specific problem. It may be a problem with the hotel's internet, and as of yet I have not had a chance to test the computer at another location. However, a colleague using an IBM computer has had no problems, and I am currently on a Samsung machine in the business center of the hotel and it is working correctly as well. I have searched extensively online for a similar problem but have come up empty handed, and more than anything, I am confused about what might be causing this problem. The strangest thing is that a fraction of the time, the internet functions normally, but it is usually roughly 15 minutes out of every hour, and eventually I am inevitably taken back to Jammin Beats.
I am a computer science graduate but I still have no idea what would cause this problem. At first I thought it might be a hacker, but if it is, he or she has been at it consistently for 3 days now, and only seems to be targeting my computer. Any ideas or solutions would be greatly appreciated, as I have been forced to resort to the hotel's business center for checking email, doing work, etc. Thanks in advance.

I did consider that, as I was in Beijing last week and there are a number of censored sites. However, in Korea I have had problems with very basic sites like facebook, wall street journal, google, yahoo, Korean google, my hotel's webpage, etc. Further, I have successfully gotten all of these sites to load seemingly at random, and can access them without problems on other computers. The only disconnect seems to be between my MBP and the internet, not between Korean internet and the web. I have toyed around with the network settings, and although sometimes after switching from "Automatic" to a fixed connection I get some sites to work, it usually only lasts a short time and eventually the same sites stop working. I reset my cache regularly to make sure I'm not getting sent to cached sites, but this also doesn't help. Further, my Apple Mail, Skype and AIM accounts jump between being connected and disconnected randomly as well. Again, this is isolated to my own computer, which is why I'm so confused.

Internet Problems - poor connectivity

I have a Lenovo X100e laptop with Windows 7 Professional. It's been a great computer, but when I go on the internet, it behaves as if the connection is slow or wonky, even if the connection is fast. This is especially true of video streaming, which stutters so much, it's virtually impossible to watch Netflix or YouTube or any other video streaming service. This is otherwise a great computer so I really want to fix this, rather than buy another computer.
I have used this laptop on my home network with both wifi and direct connection with the same behavior. I have diagnosed my network speed and its good, usually around 20Mps, plus I've tried this laptop in public places like Whole Foods and it behaves the same: wonky connection. I have an old Dell Latitude that works and it runs the internet great on the same network, and I've used my phone on my home wifi and it works great, so it's clearly the Lenovo.
The network adapters are 11b/g/n Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Express Adapter II and Realtek PVIe GBE Family Controller. I checked the drivers for both (using Device Manager), and they are both current. I used the "diagnose problems" function and found nothing. I googled for problems with them and didn't find much.
There is also a Qualcom Gobi 2000 listed (Wireless WAN Driver for Windows 7) under Other Devices and it says "There is no driver selected for the device information set or element." I tried updating the driver, but got an error saying "Windows could not find driver software for your device." I have no clue if this is relevant.
Also, the laptop plays video with no issues if it's a file on the local drive, like mp4, so I don't think video is the problem per se. It's the general communication with a network. Let me repeat that I don't think this is a wifi issue because I get the same behavior even if I plug a network cable in directly to my router.
Also, I have tried multiple updated browsers including Chrome, Firefox, and IE. Plus, I have run multiple virus scans and nothing is found.
I rviewed the other internet problem posts on this forum, but they don't seem to be the same problem I am having. I can get on the internet, it's just wonky. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regarding Gobi 2000:
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS001302 - drivers;
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS003751 - boot code utility driver needs.
Install them yourself. Four devices should appear in Device Manager.
Further steps depend of the network carrier you work with. If the carrier is Verizon or AT&T you should install and launch Mobile Broadband Activation softwate:
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS001619
If you work with another carrier there is a chance you'll need additional help. Let us know.

Internet problems continued

So, all my internet problems I have been having over the past 7 months, I think I may have found the fault. Since moving to my new home, I have had constant problems with the internet being super fast (7/8 meg), and then bottoming out to snails paced speeds (100K/1meg), for no reason. It will then creep back up only to happen again without warning.
Calls to support are useless and I have stopped doing this as I end up in the phone for 30/40 mins to be told the same thing again and again.
The forum moderators here are good (I'm going to email them now) and although slow sometimes (not complaining, would rather wait then speak to these guys then a bod in India) they know their beans and try as much as they can to sort you out. I have three different routers and an engineer visit because of these guys.
Some of you guys are helpful too!
But, one thing that I didn't mention to anyone, as I didn't think it mattered, was I've never had a land line connected. I recently bought one and when connected, the line is really crackly and whenever I call or people call me, my router disconnects from the net, syncs at a low speed and the noise margin goes through the roof. I'm sure that means there is something wrong with my line, as never had this noise at my old place.
It would be great if someone could confirm this as I have tried everything.

The first thing to look for ... is a crackly noisy line.
That's what the quiet line test is for .....
If you'd have read the posts recommended to you, you'd have realised that long ago.....
The words... knockin... and nobody in ..... spring to mind.
The bad line is the cause, deffo.

You will have to contact the previous owner and ask him/her to remove the iPad from their account, he/she is the only person that can do it : Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - you won't be able to use the iPad until they do so.

Game froze my MacBook Pro, now I have internet problems-What should I do?

Hi,
I recently bought a game to play on my macbook pro, it is Sims Castaway Stories for Mac by Aspyr.
My laptop meets/exceeds the requirements to play it. It only uses little ram and hardrive space.
I installed it a few days ago, my laptop started to get really worked up 30-60 mins into playing the game. My laptop was making A LOT of noise and got pretty hot, I could hear that it was making a lot of effort to ventilate the heat out and to keep my laptop cool.
About 5 hours into playing the game My laptop completely froze and I had to force shut it down and restart.
Everything seemed fine when I restarted it. I played the game the next few days and it ran fine for over 5 hours. However my laptop is still very hot and noisy every time I play the game, and even when I don't have the game open, but just the disc in.
When I have the game running and go on the internet the videos I watch are distorted, images are fragmented + oddly colored, pages load in computer code, and pages won't load occasionally.
I have the same problems with my internet when the game disc is not in my laptop. (disc out= no super hot and hyperventilating laptop problems)
I have even uninstalled the game completely and the internet problems are still there.
I use google chrome, but I have the same problems on safari.
My home windows pc has the same internet problems as well, my second windows pc does not.
Is this a bad internet connection problem or has this game damaged my laptop?
What should I do?

The Internet is sent to you in packets with an error-detection code on them. Ones that come through with errors are rejected. Distortions and problems with display are caused by problems on your computer itself, not by bad data from the Internet.
Most games, including ones tied to the Internet, work your computer very hard. It will get hot. When it starts to get hot, the fans will go on high. Putting the DVD in the drive makes a motor spin it up and that causes heat as well.
Do you have enough RAM memory to support all the things you are doing at once? If not, your Hard drive will be on all the time to do Paging to simulate more RAM memory, and spinning its motor all the time will make your Mac really Hot.
To cool the underside by convection, at least 3/4 inch (20mm) space is needed underneath. A smaller space is not effective.
