Mac is connected to network but internet still won't work?
before chirstmas my internet was working perfectly fine, but it went down, like none of the familys laptops worked, the ipad didn't, none of the ipods, my mac or my iphone, since it was chirstmas we couldn't ring up to get it fixed.. however just after new year the router seemed just fine everything started working again expect for my mac, it says i'm connected to my wireless network but i can't access the internet, i've tried restarted my router countless times, it does nothing, i've tried to delete my network, i've tried deleting airport, nothing has worked.
fed up of having to hopspot with my iPhone it's costing me a bomb, as i'm a graphic design student at uni i need the internet:/
Run /System/Library/CoreServices/Network Diagnostics (this is the program that gets offered to you when you try to connect to a web site in Safari when you are not connected to the internet. It's really hard to find -- seems to be invisible to spotlight -- so if you get it to launch from Safari you should save it in your dock.)
What you will probably see is that the first couple of lights are green (which is why it says you are "connected" to the wireless -- you are) and then the bottom 2 or 3 lights are yellow or red.
Follow the troubleshooting instructions in NetworkDiagnotics and you may just get things to work.
What I suspect is that you have no DNS, because your router isn't handing out DNS. To simply bypass that problem, go into your network preferences and hit the "Advanced" button and then the DNS tab, and add a manual DNS server. If your ISP has given you the address of a DNS server, use that one. Otherwise use 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 -- those are google's DNS servers.

Connected to Wifi but Internet still isn't working and Safari can't open any pages?
I'm able to connect to Wi-Fi networks, but my Internet is still not opening web pages and none of my applications that require Internet are working. Is this a problem with my computer or is there something I can do to fix it?
Then you are probably not actually connected. Go to Settings/Wi-Fi and tap the arrow to the right of the network that you think you are connected to. If the IP is 169..., then no you are not really connected, the iPad timed out and self-asigned the IP when it did not receive one from your router in a timely manner.
Try restarting/resetting the router, reset it to its factory settings and even check to see if there is new firmware for the router. -
When I try to download the windows support software it is coming up with an error message saying I am not connected to the internet but having checked the network diagnostics several times I am definitely connected but it still won't work. Any ideas?
I get a problem like yours. I have a mac mini with 2 hdds the server and hd2 I installed windows 7 and the windows works fine. except it will not allow me to get on the net. I get error 651. I can boot back to lion and the internet connection works. I googled and error 651 does seem to show up. I would like a work around.

So, I have created my home sharing from my base computer to my laptop. On my lap top I see the tab for home sharing but it will not let me connect to my computer to share my music over. I have done everything iTunes has told me to but it still won't work. Any help would make my day...
I got some more info that may help.
I put a cd on my laptop, and was able to share it to my computer... So the problem is only from my computer to my laptop. I tried the firewall thing and it did not help. I read the rest of the trouble shooting page, and nothing else applies. iTunes is an execption and already was. I can not think of anything else being my problem. Do you think I should re-install iTunes or would that be a waste of time? At this point I am about to just call Apple for some help because I am getting to stressed over this.
Thanks -

My iPad & iPhone won't connect to iTunes store.... it worked just fine earlier today... but not now.
My daughter also has an iPad and an iPhone and these too won't connect either (use the same iTunes account)
Nothing has changed since this morning, I've gone through all of Apples suggested troubleshooting guides but it still won't work!
Help?p.s. I just signed out of my apple id on daughters iPad and tried to create a new apple ID and still got the message CANNOT CONNECT TO ITUNES STORE......
so is this a problem with apple rather than my devices? Just seems weird that all our apple devices are doing this this afternoon when they were just fine this morning.......
P.P.S Just got a text from a friend with iphone and ipad......they are having same issue so at least I know it's not just me, so what's going on here APPLE????? -
My ipod nano 5th gen. won't play movies or tv shows but it plays them on itunes. When I click on it the screen flashes black. I have tried taking the videos off my ipod and then putting them back on but it still won't work. what should i do?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Okay so my IPod touch 4 won't play music through any headphone I put into the port. I've tried it with 4-5 different headphones but it still won't work. How can I fix this? This isn't the first time something like this has happened but it has never stayed this way for such a long time. If I have to send it in for repairs I will but I'm not sure if its under warranty
To check for warranty coverage:
https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for theother 4Gs. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Replace the jack yourself

IMac connects to network but internet connection really slow.
HI all
I have a Belkin F5D9630-4 router and have WPA security on it. The mac can connect to the network but when i try and surf the web the connection is really slow and most of the time just times out.
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem would be great.Hi macman3000!
Try using WPA2-Personal instead of WAP. You must access your router through it's main web page in order to make this changes. Make sure you change your security parameters in your Mac also to WPA2-Personal.
I have a Belkin F5D7230-4 and after a long way making it able to connect wireless to my iMac, I had to change the security parameter to WPA2-Personal because of the same problem you have. -

My netflix won't play on my computer. At first it wouldn't work in Safari and it gave me a redirect failure (too many redirects). Then I tried it in Chrome and it won't work in there. It work for a few days in Firefox and now that doesn't work either. I have a MacBook Pro OS X Yosemite version 10.10.2. I just updated because I thought that would help. I tried clearing my history/cache but that didn't work. Do I have a Mac version of a virus? Help! What is wrong?
Also, I noticed when I log into my computer with my password when I first turn my computer on, The password box is slightly off center the first time, then I type my password, then it comes up again looking centered like it's supposed to.

I have reset Firefox, completed all the steps in "flash video won't play full screen on YouTube, Facebook and other websites". And the video still won't play in full screen. It will play, but frequently stops or sound continues and picture freezes. I have noticed that if I continually move my mouse, it plays fine. All these videos play fine in IE and Chrome.
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know. -
