Ipad wont upgrade, says not connected to the internet

When i am connected to i tunes then try to upgrade, the error message not connected to the internet comes up instantly, which makes no sense because it is connected to the internet the whole time.

Do you have the latest version of iTunes on your computer. iOS 7 requires iTunes 11.1 or later. Check and update iTunes on your computer then try to update again.

    Is it lost or stolen?
    Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
    Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

  • 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

  • My ipod touch is showing I am Connected to Wifi, yet when I attempt to visit a website It Says Not Connected to the internet. I have reset my settings and ipod and this still didn't fix the problem

    My ipod touch shows that I am connected to the internet but when I attempt to visit a webpage it says I am not connected to the internet. I have reset my settings & wifi . And that has not helped the problem! PLEASE HELP ME!

    Your Wi-Fi seems to connect as a local network but not to the Internet.
    Since you can connect to the Internet using your neighbour's Wi-Fi, the problem is definitely your home router.

  • I am new to the ipod and I have the ipod hooked up to my computer but it says not connected to the internet,  any suggestions?

    I am a new ipod touch user.  I have my ipod connected to my computer, but when I try and get into anything it says I am not connected to the internet. 
    Please help a newbee????

    The iPod Touch requires a WiFi (Wireless) signal to connect to the Internet. It can not connect to the Internet by way of the USB syncing cable.

  • Wi-fi is connected but safari and mail say "not connected to the internet" and "check outgoing server"

    When I try to connect to safari, I receive the notice "safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet".  I get a similar message when i attempt to open any of my three mail accounts, which I have since deleted and tried to reset.  The message is something along the lines of "cannot open account - check outgoing mail server..."
    I am using the same wi-fi address I've always used.  The ipod shows that it is connected to the server and should not be having problems. 
    I've already done a network reset, twice.  Other computers in my house work just fine.  This was a spontaneous issue that began two days ago.  Again, it's affecting both mail and safari (that includes itunes store, maps, anything internet based, really - it says "cannot connect") 
    Thanks. 

    I am using a MacBook Air connected to my home WiFi and the connection is trouble free. When I try to connect my 3G iPhone to the same network it asks for my password to join and then shows the WiFi connection with full bars BUT when I launch Safari on the iPhone is says:
    "Cannot Open Page"
    "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet"
    I went to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings ... and this did not help
    I went to Setting > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings ... and this did not help
    I checked the DNS settings under Wi-Fi > my home network > DHCP and the address there (192.168.10.1) matched the number on my MacBook Air under "Network Preferences"
    Safari on my iPhone was working flawlessly with Wi-Fi connection only 24 hours ago.

  • Software update says not connected to the internet...but I am!!

    Can anyone help me please? whenever I try to use Software Update (from either the apple menu or System Prefs-network) I get a prompt saying I am not connected to the internet, but I am as I can launch Safari.
    The prompt also asks if I want to run a diagnostic on the network, if I accept and follow the instructions I get a window saying there is nothing wrong with my connection.
    Why can this be? Can anyone throw some light on this for me?
    Many thanks, Robert

  • TS1398 How to connect iPad to private router not connected to the internet?

    I have an iPad 2 running iOS6.1 that will not connect to my Asus RT-AC66R router when the router is not connected to the internet.  The message I get on my iPad is "The cable for ethernet is not plugged in".  This also happens with my iPod gen 5.
    I'm trying to control Philips Hue bulbs with their Zigbee bridge connected to the router, but I do not want a connection to the internet.  The Hue app works with an Android phone and an older iPhone 4 running an older iOS version without the router connected to the internet.  The newer iOS6 seems to want to have access to the internet, but having internet access should not be required for this application.
    If I do connect the router to the internet, the Hue app works on my iPad2 and it continues to work for a couple of minutes after I disconnect the internet cable. Then I get the message "The cable for ethernet is not plugged in" again. I'm doing this at work where I'm not supposed to connect the router to the work network cable, else it wouldn't be an issue.

    Log in to another computer, family's or friend's, and download it to a USB drive, using YOUR OWN Apple ID and then install it onto your Mac. Preferably you could use someone else's WiFi connection to directly download and install on your Mac,

  • Messenger:mac says "not connected to the internet"

    OK, so just today, I downloaded Microsoft messenger:mac from mactopia at Microsoft - Version 7.0.1 (latest one) and signed in to my Messenger account, and the message said the following: "Sign in to Microsoft Messenger failed because the service is not available or you may not be connected to the internet". I checked today, the service is fine, and I have been connected to the internet for the whole day, Still says the message, I even checked, even still, it did not work.
    Any way to fix this?
    Thanks,

    sig,
    I tried aMSN, and it says "Connection refused: reconnecting". The reason for aMSN was that i do not have a Microsoft account, and they are so stupid, they say "I understand that i will not be notified about replies." How do i sort out the connection being refused?

  • Hi, i have a doubt, i want my pdf files to be sync with the cloud but im afraid they wont open when not connected to the internet so my question basiclly is¿ can i store the documents on my device sd and edit them and when i get a internet connection they

    Hi, i have a doubt, can i have my pdf files on my sd, edit them while in class with no internet connection and when back online they will sync, all i want is to able to open my files without wifi and edit them but when back online sync their changes so i can see them in other device

    You can cache the cloud documents that you most often read by opening them once when the network is available. Edits made to these documents would be automatically synced back to the cloud if the network is available. If for any reason the network is not available, these would be synced the next time network becomes available.

  • HT5567 When I try to update my iPod touch, it says 'not connected to the Internet' when I am! Disappointment, apple!

    Title explains. Also, I tried disconnecting it and then reconnecting it, but no luck. I am writing to you on my iPod touch(5th gen ) so as you can see it has Internet access.

    Try updating the iPod touch again.
    A few people in this thread say the problem isn't happening anymore.

  • HT4623 Has anyone had trouble installing 7.1 wirelessly on an ipad mini w/retina?  I downloaded the update, but when I attempt to install, I get an error message saying that I am not connected to the internet when I know that I am!

    It downloaded fine, but when I attempt to install it won't verify, saying that I am not connected to the internet when I know that I am!  Tried on several wifi connections while plugged into power source.  Any advice is appreciated!

    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 drooping 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

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet".How can I change ip address?

    My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet". If this is the root of the problem,how can I change ip address?
    Ipad will connect no problem to other networks.

    First thing you need I think is to get your iMac connected to the Internet.
    Shut down your iMac and you iPad. Then power off your router. Wait 30 seconds and power up the router.
    After the router indicates that it is connected to the Internet then start up your iMac and see if it connects. If the iMac connects to the Internet then your iPad should too.
    If this power up sequence doesn't work you'll have to dig into the router setup to make sure it is working properly.
