AirPort says 'connected' but Safari says 'not connected to the internet'

I'm stumped.
I just replaced a failed HD. Installed OS from original disk. Airport shows strong signal and says "connected" but when trying to open Safari or check for software updates I receive a 'you're not connected to the internet' message.
Remember I had upgraded to Snow Leopard, so just installed that from disk as well. Same situation with the attempts to wirelessly connect.
Note - all other computers, smart phones, etc in the house can still connect wirelessly. When I connect the MacBook via the ethernet cable, it's fine. Problem is only with wireless connection.
Service is Verizon Fios. Have tried repeatedly restarting the router.
Any other suggestions?

John,
Yes, I've been running Software Update frequently over the last 24 hours (needed to update all the software on that new HD) said there were no updates at last check. However, followed link you provided above and installed the Combo update.
Was hopeful on initial restart after that install, as I rec'd a message to the effect of: "none of your preferred networks are connected". Selected my home network (which was listed and with strong signal), entered password and same result - not connected to the internet.
Took your advice above and returned to "Using DHCP" setting. Inital response was "no ip address" and then after short time, "self assigned ip address" "will not be able to connect to the internet". Tried "renew DHCP lease" and continually receive same result. All very frustrating.
My next step will be to try and connect wirelessly on a friend or family member's network (my local Apple store is a bit far away. Easier for me to visit the ones near my office during the work week).
If I am able to connect on another's network, does that indicate it's an issue with my router?
If I am UNABLE to connect on another's network, does that indicate it's an issue with my laptop?
This is so disappointing - the replacement of the HD was so easy, as was the reinstalling of software. This connection issue is souring what was a relatively painless and quick experience.
Thank you again,
Christine

Wi fi showsonnected but safari says not connected to internet

wi fi shows connected but safari says not connected to internet.

I forgot to mention that, but I have done that as well.
An update: my husband took the iPad to McDonald's to see if he could connect there, and got the same message (Safari could not open the page because it is not connected to the Internet). I'm stumped!

PCI wireless card connected to network but safari says not connected to net

Hi everyone
I moved my computer and had to change from wired ethernet to wifi. I installed a ralink PCI card in my MDD G4 dual 867. It sees the network and connects but Safari doesn't know it is on a network. What am I missing? I also have to connect manually every bootup. How do I setup autostart? My wireless router is a D-link DIR-615. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi David,
The Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON.
Then... Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply
DNS Servers are a bit like Phone books where you look up a name and it gives you the phone number, in our case, you put in apple.com and it comes back with 17.149.160.49 behind the scenes.
These Servers have been patched to guard against DNS poisoning, and are faster/more reliable than most ISP's DNS Servers.

IPad is connected to Airport, but Safari says not connected to Internet?

I'm hoping someone can suggest something for me. We had a power outage last night, and when the power came back and I got the Airport working again our iPad won't connect to the internet. I don't think the problem would be in the Airport, since the computer is connected wirelessly also and is connecting OK. I have tried renewing the lease, turning the wi-fi off and back on, forgetting the network and reestablishing the connection, and restarting the iPad, all to no avail. The IP address listed when I look at the iPad settings starts with 169 - from what I've read that means it's not connecting correctly. Is there anything else I can try to get it working?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Connected to network but Safari says not connected

Just had to reinstall OS X and upgraded to 10.4.11
I connect to my FIOS network using Airport, and am having no problems. However, when I attempt to open Safari it says I am not connected to the Internet.
I run diagnostics and the following happens:
it lets me get all the way to selecting an airport network, then does a scan--says it's looking for PPPoE host, unable to find. Tells me to check network settings.
I have tried restarting the Actiontec router with no results. what gives?

I think my son's apt bldg uses FIOS and as I recall he is also PPoE, so PPoE may not be as uncommon as we think, for FIOS.
You should have gotten a letter from your ISP that said what your username and password for your account with the ISP is, to setup for PPoE, whether you are static or DHCP external WAN IP address assignment, etc. Do you still have that letter?
You're not connecting to your computer via ethernet cable directly to your ActionTec right now, correct? You're going wirelessly? If that's the case, can you reconfigure your hardware to connect to your ActionTec via ethernet cable? (Don't forget to change your computer's system prefs network stuff from airport to ethernet DHCP.) And if so, I know you've done so gazillions of times already but if you haven't done so (lately?) while tethered via ethernet cable, try rebooting your router and your computer one more time. I'm trying to figure out whether its a wireless thing, e.g., maybe the wireless isn't turned on in the ActionTec or has MAC authentication enabled and your computer's Airport card's MAC address isn't on the list, or the wireless channel encryption password or algortithm is mismatched, or... So, if we can get in via ethernet cable, we can start rummaging around in your computer's network settings and in your ActionTec's configuration pages.
By the way, how are you posting on this forum? Different computer same network? Or different computer different network?

HT5569 Just purchased an iphone5 - trying to set up mail, facebook etc. but Safari says not connected to internet

Wifi connected safari says not connected

In settings, wifi is connected, but safari says its not connected, any suggestions? I tried restarting, rebooting, and connecting to lap top and updating. Thanks.

You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

Hi:
There are no dumb questions...answers, yes, but not questions. Sometime I use acronyms and forget that I should explain things a bit more.
Resetting those two things sometimes helps and cannot hurt.

If that does not help, delete the phone from your computer (system preferences>Bluetooth), restart, and then add it back in:

P.S. If everything fails and you are near an Apple store, make an appointment with a "genius" and take the devices in for them to assist.

Is there a problem with FaceTime, can not connect. When dial it connects and drops. When friends are calling me they have calling message and I have connecting but it does not connect. Need help, face time is my life line.

Face time not working. When dialled it says connecting and drops immediately. When my friends calling it show connecting but it does not.
Is there a problem with face time. I am in south Africa, it was working perfectly up to Easter. Please help this is my life line.

There is a barely acknowledged issue. For Mac users Apple has released an update to the app, but for iOS users the recommendation is for users to update their ipad to the most recent operating system.
There may be a fix coming for iOS6 users (which seem to be many of those having problems) or there may not be. If your ipad isn't up to date then you can update it and see if that helps, or if you don't want to update then you may want to wait and see if there is either a fix or if it fixes itself.

Safari says not connected to internet- System Prefs does...

OK, I'm not extremely computer savvy, but I'm not totally ignorant either. But I have a network connection problem that I have absolutely no idea what's going on. I have a black MacBook Pro, and am running 10.4.11. I have an airport express at home, and never had any access/connection trouble. Where I work (a university), there is an open network we can access, but for some reason, I cannnot. My airport status indicator shows full strength, and systems prefs gives me the connection is A-OK message with the green light, saying I'm connected to this network, but when I open Safari (or Firefox), it tells me I am not connected to the internet. Another interesting thing is when I open itunes in this situation, it finds shared music libraries on the network, but it will not connect to them. This is the only network I have ever used where this is happening. Also, other people seem to be able to access this network with no trouble with Powerbook G4s. Does anyone have similar problems or any ideas at all on this one?

My guess is that you're not authenticated on the network and, for that, you should talk to the sysops there. Most universities have "open" networks that still require authentication, meaning they're open to the university users but not to everyone.

Safari says not connected to internet on certain sites when connection is good and IMG[] images don't show up anymore?

I recently updated to 10.6.8 from 10.5.x and have been having some issues. First, Safari will say that my computer is not connected to the internet, but it is. I can be on YouTube, for example, and then try to go to eBay, and it will say not connected to internet, but I can go to Google and it will be fine without doing anything. Almost like it cannot connect to the server, but the message is that I'm not connected to the internet. I can turn Airport off and back on and get on most pages that wouldn't open originally. It's not site-specific. Sometimes it's Google, Facebook, eBay, YouTube, forums, etc. and other times those same sites work just fine.
The next problem, which I feel is related is that IMG[xxx] images won't open some of the time now on forums that have Photobucket and Tinypic IMG codes inserted into threads. It will just show the blue box with a question mark. I think that's because my Safari can't open the image hosting websites because sometimes when I click on the blue box to open the link, it says not connected to the internet and Photobucket seems to be one of the regular problem sites.
I've tried clearing my cache, reseting Safari, and a few other suggestions on here from similar problems, but I haven't seen a post describing my same issues exactly. I have not tried Firefox and would prefer to keep using Safari.

Try repairing permissions.
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Select: Repair Disk Permissions
This can take a few minutes and better to not use your Mac while it's running.
When it's finished, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
Repairing permmissions helped another user with the same problem > "You are not connected to the internet"...: Apple Support Communities

Talk Talk wifi connection but safari will not load any web pages?

I have a new Ipad and it is connected to TalkTalk wifi. But the problem is that Safari will not load a single web page?
Are there any known issues with this problem. My PC connects to the same wifi network and is running fine.
The build bar for the web page I try to access turns 3/4 blue but then gives an error message, 'cannot connect to server'
TalkTalk call centre kept saying that they do not support Ipad? But would not elaborate!
Apple call centre updated IOS 6.1.2 and reset network settings but no solution as yet.
Do I need to take this back?
Has anyone had a similar problem?

How old is your MBP?
Do you have APP?
Does this happen all the time? Does it happen on a specific site? What internet connection do you have?

Internet connected according to Network Diagnostic but Safari can't connect

I just bought a new iMac in Australia yesterday; when I brought it back home and connected the ethernet cable to it I thought it would automatically connect to the internet as my other family members' Macs have in their homes, and as my old PC did.
Unfortunately it did not, so I bumbled through Network Setup in System Preferences with little idea of what I was doing and essentially hoped for a miracle. I copied the 'IP address', 'Router' address and 'Subnet mask' numbers over manually from my PC but that didn't work. I then selected 'Using DHCP' and it gave me a seemingly normal IP starting with 192.xxx.xxx.xxx and the same subnet mask. When I run 'Network Diagnostics' it says my internet connection appears to be working correctly, and there's green lights next to everything. But when I go to Safari and type in www.google.com it takes forever before finally telling me that "Safari can't connect as the server is not responding'.
I have scrolled through pages of this forum trying to find answers but I haven't yet. I tried changing the DNS addresses to the ones from OpenDNS but that didn't seem to work.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

What kind of connection do you have?
-DHCP, this assigns the IP automaticly
-PPPoE, you will have to enter the information from your ISP manually in rder to connect
If you copy the IP from another machine it will create an issue since IP´s are unique to for machine.
Can you verify you internet connection, just to make sure it actually works?
+you can connect with other machines?
- you have to look at the settings on you machine
+you can ping www.google.com from Network utility
- if you can you have a connection to the internet, there might be a problem with your DNS server
+you can connect with IP addresses but not the HTTP
- copy and paste googles IP into your web browser, if it connects you should contact you ISP or look for DNS trojans in your system
+what does network utility show of send errors and link speed.

Airport shows I am connected to a secure network, but Safari will not connect nor will any other internet software.

I cannot connect via Safari to a live Internet connection. System preferences show Airport is on and connected to a secure network. I am able to connect using my iPad and other devices.

Thanks. Turns out that I had to re list the router and update its password along with resetting the DHCP. Once that was accomplished all seemed to work fine again. Just can't figure out why the connection was disrupted.
