It says I'm logged onto the internet but...
We got a new modem for our pc today because our old one died. Trying to use the wireless connection to get my Macbook back online it said that it found the connection and the connection had full strength, but when I try to use Safari it says that I am not logged onto the internet. When I go to airport the dot next to it is yellow instead of green and says that I may not be able to get onto the internet because of Airport's IP address, which I can not find. That was not an issue with the old router. What do I do?
I'm having the same issue but I don't have a new router and it was working earlier today. I posted a question asking about it because I didn't see this. I hope someone can help us with this.

Website/software that prevens you from logging onto the Internet
Recently I read about a website or software that allows you to disengage from the Internet for a period of time.
Do you know the URL for this site or product?
Thank you.Your question says that you want to prevent logging onto the internet...that is very easy to do, simply unplug the cable to your modem. Or turn the AirPort card off if you are using wireless.
If you are looking for software for another purpose, such as parental controls, that is a different topic and there are various ways of preventing unfettered access to the internet. -
Help logging onto the internet
I am staying in a condo that has wifi, and it's supposed to have a pop up window for me to enter a username and password. It's supposed to pop up every day but for some reason I can't get it to pop up right now and therefore I'm not able to log onto the internet. I have tried to clear my browser history and that didn't help. I've restarted my computer several times also. Does anyone have any suggestions.
This seems to be some type of bug in safari. Try a different broswer and you shouldn't have the problem.

Front Row says im not connected to the internet, But I am!
I go on Front row to watch some movie trailers and it says im not connected to the internet, but im posting this.
I have repaired permissions and reinstalled it and leopard.
What can I do?It looks indeed like there is a bug in the Leopard version of Front Row. I have the exact same problem, after having just installed Leopard in a new clean install. The trailer browsing feature worked just fine with Tiger, in this very same Intel mini, but now with Leopard and with the exact same network settings, it keeps nagging about a missing internet connection. I am using a pppoe / DSL line, and needless to say, my internet connection is working just fine.
But now, thanks to the hint above, I was able to get the movie trailers to work now. The trick, or should I say the workaround was to stop using the automatic setting configured by Leopard during installation, and setting up a new location, with the very same details. You don't have to delete anything, just add a new location and name it to your liking, then add your connection details, and you're all set.
So in short, apparently one should use a manually set location rather than the automatic mode. An annoying little bug really, but fortunately easy to fix.
Hopefully the boffins @Apple are reading these forums, and this little bug is to be fixed in 10.5.2 as well. That is, along with the Mail SMTP bug, which was also annoying but easy to fix, eventually. -
My computer says it's connected to the internet, but I keep getting a message that my computer can't find the server. Could there be a problem with my computer's internet connection?
First, unplug the modem, for at least 10 secs., then unlpug you airport/ wifi/ then try to reconnect.
If it it does not not work, reconnect your modem, then reconnect your network utilites, use assistance. -
I have a new ipad, it says I am connected to the internet but will not work. When I attempt to go to a web sight the green bar moves 1/2 inch and nothing.
I have a used linksys router that I got from work. I tried connecting with a older ipad and every thing works correctly. any ideas?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

If you are using a Mac, we need to know what operating system you are using in order to provide troubleshooting advice.
If you are not sure what operating system you are using, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then click About This Mac.
Please post back with the OS X Version number that you see there. -

My macbook pro says I am connected to the internet but won't load pages
my macbook pro says I am connected to the internet with a strong signal but it won't load any pages. The internet works fine on my iPhone and other computers so it must be an issue with my macbook. Any suggestions??
Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
See KB Articles: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1401 AirPort troubleshooting guide
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712 Using network locations in Mac OS X
============================
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.
Also, run the Airport Utility app which is located inside the Utilities folder.
=====================
If using Linsys router contact LinkSys Customer Support and/or post in their forums.
If using Apple's Airport, please re-post over in one of the AirPort Forums.

says i am connected to the internet,try to go to google but just keeps loading the page without giving me accessto google
Hello @laidbacklady,
I have read your post on how you are not able to access the Internet, and that the web browser keeps loading up. Are you using Internet Explorer, Google Chrome or FireFox? Does this issue occur when you use a different browser? Are you able to connect to the Internet using a different computer? Are you connecting your computer to a wireless or wired network? I would be happy to help you, but first I would encourage you to post your product number for your computer. Below is a is an HP Support document that will demonstrate how to find your computer's product number.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Please re-post with the necessary information, this way I will be able to research this further for you. I look forward to your reply!
Cheers!

My MacBook logs onto the wifi but not my iPhones or iPad? What to do?
Macbook
iPhone 3GS just moved to Version 5
iPhone 4 just moved to Version 5
iPad
My MacBook has successfully logged on through an airport device in a new location, after a reconfiguration. However our iPhones and iPad don't want to follow. It shows the network icon but when an app is launched, it says it's not connected to the internet.
I have reset 'network settings' and also rebooted, without success (with retyped password).
What next?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
ChristianThank you bob Timmons!
I did as you suggested elsewhere on this site.
If you have a simple modem (only 1 ethernet port) check to make sure that the Connection Sharing setting on the AirPort Extreme is set correctly.
AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address would be the correct setting.
Then try a full modem reset and power cycle as follows
Push the reset button on the modem
Power the modem down
Pull the battery if it is easily accessible
Leave the modem off at least 30 minutes
Power down the rest of the entire network
Start the modem first, let it run 4-5 minutes by itself
Start the AirPort Extreme, let it run 4-5 minutes by itself
Then start each device up one at a time" -
Says I'm connected to the internet, but browsers won't work
Hi everybody. Here's what happened: I was loading a program on my eMac, which was connected to the internet fine, and my mom shut the computer off. It seemed like the computer crashed--I couldn't access any of my files. So I realoaded the operating system. Most things worked OK, but I couldn't connect to the internet, and when I tried changing certain things, it asked for an administrator name and password, and wouldn't accept any of the accounts as an administrator. So I found a code the allowed me to create a new administrator, and used it; I can now finally edit my internet settings. But I can't connect. I finally got it to say I was connected in Network Status by clicking the checkmark next to AppleTalk; there's the little green light and it gives my IP address and everything. But none of my browsers will load, and Itunes can't connect either. Any suggestions?
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Powering the machine down from the on/off switch typically is not recommended, because during a software shut down, some documents that are open are properly closed. What can happen is directory damage. Perhaps a key document for your Domain Nameserver got damaged. Try switching to OpenDNS DNS numbers from http://www.opendns.org/ on both your router and Network System Preferences. Restart the computer. Then it might fix the issue. Any proxy settings might need to be turned off as well. -
Please help me. I have iOs 7. I tried going on safari but I says I'm not connected to the internet. I went to settings>wi-fi and then my router is displayed under the switch to turn on and off the wi-fi. Here is a picture : (It's in French)
What do I do to be able to use the internet?
ThanksDoes the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

- Restore from backup. See:

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
