Mac software not connecting to internet, but installed software does. How to fix?

iTunes, Safari, App Store, etc. behaves as though there is no internet connection. Loading bar on Safari is frozen, iTunes can't access Gracenote for burning CD's. Google Chrome works perfectly fine, Guitar Pro works fine, Evernote works. I've never encountered this problem before. I've tried restarting the computer, shutting it down and turning it on again, and looking for answers on Google. Can anyone here help with this?

You should be able to connect via Ethernet, and that method is simpler than debugging wireless.
the Ethernet light turned Green and said it was connected, but still no internet...
What exactly do you mean by "still no Internet? "
Sometimes you can be connected perfectly well, but problems with Domain Name Servers (DNS) can keep you from loading Web pages.
Try this "litmus test". Get your Ethernet connection green light. Enter this in your browser:
http://17.149.160.49
if you get to Apple, Inc, you are properly connected.
http://apple.com
If the symbolic name does NOT connect you to Apple, Inc, you have a Domain Name Server (DNS) problem.

How much free space on the startup disk?
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
If you have anti virus software installed, that could be a factor.
Try troubleshooting third party plugins. Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

HT4623 I can't update my iphone 4s iOS 6.1.2, Message saying I'm not connected to internet but I am, why?

Every time I'm trying to update my 4s with iOS 6.1.2, keeps showing message that I'm not connect to Internet, but I am, anybody experiencing the same issue???? Help!

I was able to update my iPhone 4S to 6.1.1, BUT :: I could not update to 6.1.1. from my iPhone. I received the same message as everyone else saying that my iPhone was not connected to the Internet, which is was. (I was able to access my mail etc. via Internet.)
Instead I connected my iPhone to my computer via ITunes via the cable. I then downloaded the software on my computer and updated the iPhone from the computer. While I was downloading the software on to my computer, which is only connected to the Internet via ethernet, the same message as above appeared on my iPhone about not being connected to the Internet. I pressed cancel. The software continured to download on to the computer and then on the iPhone.

Check your router settings and see if you have Wireless QoS (WMM) enabled? If so, diable it. This fixed my problems, and had the benefit of speeding up my wifi in the process.

Hello. Safari 5 has a bug that causes you're router/modem to crash cutting internet access for many on it's users. This can last for several seconds in my case. Their are many threads here on the case and you can Google, "safari can't connect to server" and look for the most recent cases. The only work around that has worked for some has been open dns. Apple will have a fix soon.
