Ipad2 will not connect to internet with wifi

Can anybody help me please. I bought a beautiful 32gb WiFi only ipad yesterday and cannot get it to connect to my home WiFi. It shows a full strength signal but I cannot open email or Safari etc.
I see that there are a lot of people with this problem - what I would like is to hear from someone who HAS fixed it - and how. My problem is that I do not have the knowledge to understand what people mean when they are talking about reconfiguring their routers etc -- can someone lead me through a solution in "Computers for Dummies" fashion?? My router is a Speedtouch and my broadband provider AOL. Would be most grateful to hear from you.

hi! i have the same issue with my ipad 2 16gb which i bought about 3months ago. i've been using this with my laptop's internet sharing wireless connection and it's been working real fine until i updated my device's firmware from 4.3.3 to 4.3.5 iOS. my iTunes stopped working normally altogether and started freezing and it drove me nuts! from then on i cannot access the internet through wi-fi for a week now and all my documents disappeared to because i have to sign in to my accounts (like newzik, file apps, documents) but sorry me, i cannot get connected to the internet. i just hope apple would take action on these issues. i don't think it has something to do with my laptops wireless network device because even i'm outdoors i cannot access even public wi-fi networks. my ipad 2 connects to a wi-fi netowrk but cannot access the internet. i tried resetting and restoring my devicce but nothing worked. i have an MSI A6200 laptop on windows 7 64bit by the way.

Iphone will not connect to Internet without WIFI connection

My iphone will not connect to the internet without a wifi connection.
I have restored the settings many times. But i still have this problem.
I get a message on safari which says 'could not activate celluar data network'
what do i do?

If you have restored your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup and as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup with no change, have you contacted O2? Your line may need to be reset by O2, which will involve turning your iPhone off whole O2 does the reset at the server, or possibly there is a problem with your SIM card.

Thinkpad Laptop X4F -Will not connect to internet via wifi

I'm not computer savvy so please keep replies dummied down if at all possible. I used this laptop last on Friday and booted it today and cannot connect to the internet via wifi. No problems whatsoever before this. Checked with other computers and devices in the house and the wireless network and internet are working fine.
Checked this laptop and wifi is on (airplane mode off), says its connected to the router (in connections) but icon in tray just scrolls and says "identifying". Using the LAN works fine. Looked at wireless card and it says device is working properly and is fully updated.
This computer is running windows 8 which I'm still having trouble navigating through.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Have you tried turning off the Wifi and then back on? Windows 8 should have that if you press the start key and typing in Wi-Fi. Click on Settings when you search and something for connections should appear. Turn off WiFi then back on to see if that helps.

Imac will not connect to Internet via wifi or Ethernet since upgrade.

since the upgrade to Yosemite I am unable to connect to the Internet via wifi or Ethernet. All my other devices ipad/IPhone 6 work fine so issue is not with ISP.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I Have tried starting in safe mode and my internet works fine. But I lose all connectivity after reboot into normal mode.

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.

My IPad2 will not connect to the internet, "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding." My AirPort utility shows that I am connected. What could be the problem?

My iPad2 will not connect to the internet, "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding". I've run the AirPort utility and it shows that I'm connected to my Wi-Fi. The connection works with both my iMac and iPhone. I'm concerned that the problem is with hardware rather than software.

Try the following:
1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again
2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
3. Reset iPad; hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo

hmm, well I would say that raises the possibility of an issue with your ipad, and lessens one with your router.

My ipad says it is connected to WiFi, which is workingly perfectly for several other devices, will not connect to internet. It keeps giving the message 'Cannot Connect' or error has occurred or just blink off site or icon?

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

TS1702 My brand new iphone5 will not connect to my home wifi even though my ipad and old iphone do connect with no problem. What can I do?

My brand new iphone5 will not connect to my home wifi even though it recognizes it. My ipad and my old iphone4s connect with no problem. Any thoughts?

Although your other devices connect okay, it would be worth resetting your router by switching if off for disconnecting it from mains power for 2 minutes and then switch it on again.
Good luck and do report back.

TS1388 Macbook will not connect to my home WiFi

I have an interesting situation. I have home WiFi set up in that is working fine - I know this because my iPhone connects to it without any problems. My Macbook always connected fine as well up until a week ago and all of a sudden will not connect to it. There is an exclamation point over the WiFi symbol. The WiFi setting is definitely turned ON and I can connect to my hotspot, but for some reason it will not connect to the home WiFi option. I have a brand new Macbook Pro and have done all of my software updates offered. My iPhone still connects to the home WiFi with no problems, so I know it is not a router problem.
Is there a setting on my MacBook that would prevent me from connecting to just this particular WiFi that could have gotten messed up accidently?

Hey ashleeburke
I understand you are having issues connecting to Wi-Fi with your MacBook Pro. The following article may provide more assistance:
Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues in OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628
Most minor Wi-Fi issues can be resolved by simply powering off all devices, and power cycling your router/modem:
Restart your network devices.
Powering your modem or router off for a few seconds and then on again may resolve network issues without any additional troubleshooting. If you have phone service through your ISP, power cycling your modem may interrupt that service. You may need to contact your ISP in order to restore your phone service if your modem is reset or powered off. Ensure that you have alternative means to contact your ISP (such as a cell phone) to avoid unnecessary delays in restoring your Internet or phone service.
Thanks,
Matt M.

All of a sudden my iTunes 10.1.1.4 will not connect to internet radio

Hi all,
All of a sudden yesterday, my iTunes 10.1.1.4 will not connect to internet radio. It has otherwise been working fine for almost two years.
My internet connection is working fine for web browsing and email.
I ran the iTunes diagnositcs and it showed me how to go in to the Windows Firewall settings to check to see if there was a connection... there was already one for iTunes in the list of accepted connections. Just to be sure, I created a new iTunes connection exception and it didn't help.
The iTunes diagnostics test shows all information as being normal except this info, pasted in below, about the Firewall test...
Firewall Information
Windows Firewall is on.
iTunes is NOT enabled in Windows Firewall.
Connection attempt to Apple web site was successful.
Connection attempt to browsing iTunes Store was successful.
Connection attempt to purchasing from iTunes Store was successful.
Connection attempt to iPhone activation server was successful.
Connection attempt to firmware update server was unsuccessful.
The network connection timed out.
But this information is partially incorrect, according to the Windows Firewall settings themselves. My Windows Firewall settings show that iTunes is indeed enabled in Windows Firewall.
I can access the iTunes store, but there doesn't seem to be any test in the iTunes diagnostics that makes it test to see if it is connecting to the iTunes internet radio server.
Is there possibley a current problem happening with the iTunes internet radio connection?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi movem,
Are you saying that Apple has changed the URL for every internet radio station in the entire iTunes radio station library?... or are you suggesting that just some of the internet radio stations in my playlist changed their own URLs?
It seems unlikely that it happens to be that every single internet radio station in my playlist of a hundred radio stations all happened to change thier URLs at the same time, since all of the stations in my playlist will not play from that playlist.
When I went through and found some of the radio stations in the giant default internet radio station library in iTunes, I found some of my old ones that were in my playlist and they play fine and they can be put in to a new playlist and they play fine there too, but the very same stations still will not play from my old original playlist.
So it makes sense if you are saying that Apple has somehow changes all the URLs for all the radio stations in iTunes, because that make sense since they all play from the main radio library.
But, otherwise, to say that all the radio stations in my playlist happened to change their own URLs at the same time, that would be a bit far fetched.
Did you get some news from Apple that this happened, one way or the other?
PS: I'm having a hard time finding a few of the stations that were in my previous, original playlist as well... some of them have either disappeared, changed categories, gone off the air or changed their names.
Thanks,
numetro

MBP upgraded to Yosemite and now will not connect to Internet using a Cisco router

I Upgraded my MBP mid 2010 to Yosemite and now it will not connect to Internet using a system that involves typing in my user name and password in an auto pop up window provided by Cisco security systems. Before, using Mavericks, it worked perfectly: boot up MBP and the Cisco pop up auto loaded. Typed it my password and hey presto, connected to Internet. Now, zilch. There is nothing wrong with the Cisco cos my iPad connects ok, as do both my iPhone's.
the problem is with Yosemite therefore. Please help. I tried all the usual diags, etc to no avail.

Sounds like there could be some kind of compatibility issue between ICS and this Bluetooth device of yours. Is there any compatibility info from the manufacturer about which Android versions that's being supported?
