Mac will not connect to the inernet.
Hi,
It has never had a problem previously and i know the network is working as my PC and iphone both work on it. it will recognise my network but everytime i try to connect it say connection timed out?
It worked last night and wasn't turned off now it just won't work. I've tried resarting numerous times and various other things.
any help would be greatley appreciated.
cheers
It does also occasionally allow me to connect to the network but still no internet. i have whilst connected renewed the DHCP to no avail also i've tried to use airport utility but it says it still can't find the network.
once again any help would be greatley appreciated?!?!

The bluetooth on my Mac will not connect to my iPhone 6.
I am trying to connect my phone to my mac so I can use airdrop. The Mac will not connect to the phone. I checked my System Information and the Bluetooth on my Mac is LMD 0X4. I believe the problem is that it needs to be LMD 0X6. How do I upgrade?
You do not need to connect/pair the devices to use Airdrop. All you need to do is have Bluetooth on and on the same Wi-Fi network. See this support document for answers to other questions about setting up and using AirDrop. Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices - Apple Support

My 5yr old iMac will not connect to the Internet. All other computers at home will, including my Mac Pro and iPad. I'm at my wits end. What should I do?
Which OS are you using (update your user profile).Try a
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset. -
My macbook air will not connect to the internet. There is an exclamation point in the wifi icon and when i go into preferences i see that it is setting its own IP address. I have a macbookpro that is able to connect with no issue. HELP
Reset the TC to factory and start again.
Use all SMB type names for wireless and base station.. Not apple type names.. this is more important since Mavericks.
I also recommend different names for the different bands.
So for example.
TC name.. TCgenx (I use whatever the generation number is for the x.. eg TCgen4 or latest one TCgen5)
WIreless name.. TC24ghz for 2.4ghz
TC5ghz for 5ghz
You can also set the channel manually.
If you still have issues.. start with no security and then if it fails to connect there is something seriously wrong with the laptop. Did you upgrade install Mavericks?? That can lead to driver issues.. I would recommend a clean install. -
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
thanksThere 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 macbook pro is connected to wifi but it will not connect to the internet.
My macbook pro is connected to wifi but it will not connect to the internet. When I go on safari, it says that "Safari can't verify the identity of the website". Then I tried to update flashplayer but you need the internet to update it. All this only started happening after that Moutain Lion software was downloaded onto the laptop. Please help, I have been internet-less for a couple months now.
Hi rynhelp,
If you are not able to connect to the internet after installing Mountain Lion, see this article for information on how to start troubleshooting:
OS X Mountain Lion: Use Network Diagnostics
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10984
You may find additional troubleshooting information in this article useful:
Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues in OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6

It is written for Lion but works for Mountain Lion as well.

As said in the question, my ipod touch will not connect to the newest version of itunes. When I plug it in, my compter recognizes that a device has been connected, yet it will not show up in itunes. I didn't have this problem until I just updated to the new itunes. Someone help please!
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
or
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
It still could be cable or contacts in the iPod since different contacts/conductor are used for charging and data -
Macbook air will not connect to the wifi network
I recently had to replace my wireless network router and now my macbook air will not connect to the network. it worked fine with the old wireless router. Now, i get a "unable to join wi-fi network" message. The network ID (SSID) and password (WPA) are the same as before. I try to manually enter the password, but continue to get the previous message.
Any help in figuring out how to correct this problem is greatly appreciated.
Also, I have several PCs in the house that have had zero problems connecting to my wireless with the new router. What am I doing wrong?Hi,
Ever since did the last airport utility update this has been happening.
I believe the airport utility update is solely a software update. Repair permission and repair disk (boot from your installation disk A) may help.
Other wise, http://osxdaily.com/2009/12/22/mac-wireless-problems-guide-to-troubleshooting-ai rport-wireless-problems-on-your-mac/ may help, too.

PowerMac G4 will not connect to the internet via ethernet
I am normally a very mac savy person, but I cannot get this to work...
I have an Airport Express connected to speakers, a USB printer and an ethernet hub, which is connected to a cable modem and also a PowerMac G4 via ethernet. There is also a wireless iMac thrown into the mix. All hardware has up-to-date software.
The wireless iMac gets online, prints and plays music wirelessly.
The wired PowerMac G4 will not connect to the internet via ethernet, it is killing me.
I have gone through all the settings and cannot figure this one out. I really appreciate all advice.
Thanks,

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Leaving the other peripherals out, tell us the connection sequence from the G4 outbound.

A message saying "ethernet has a self assigned IP address and will not connect to the internet" comes up whenever I plug the cable in. Everyone's computers work except for mine work in the house and I have tried different cords and connecting sites.
Please helpOpen System Preferences/Network
Select the Location you use at home
You may need to click the Padlock bottom left at this point if it's locked, enter the admin password to unlock
In the left hand column drag the Ethernet connection to the top of the list and remove any you don't use
Click the Advanced button bottom right
Click the TCP/IP Tab
Set Configure IPv4 to Using DHCP
Click OK bottom right and you should see the Router IP number appear and a unique but similar one for your Mac
Click Ok then click Apply and close the Panel -
My laptop will not connect to the internet
My laptop will not connect to the internet but my desktop and other laptops will. Can anyone suggest anything?
Yes I don't see problems there.
I presume the 10.0.2.29 on the Mac is just a typo.
There is a good chance windows is just being stupid, which is not surprising.
Reboot the whole system.
Restart in correct order.. modem.. TC.. 2min gap between them, and then PC.
Test with just the PC running.
See if you can open a web page.. no luck
In the command window again, ping the various IP addresses.
So ping 10.0.1.1 first.
Then ping 8.8.8.8
If those pings work, then try and ping a website. eg www.google.com
Does that work or not?
If ping works and the web pages won't open that is one of those hard ones.
Make sure under network in the PC it is located at home.. not work or public. Windows has this nasty habit of flipping itself autonomously between these settings.. take off the firewall if it is still a problem.
And finally go into the TCP/IP settings and change the DNS to 8.8.8.8 -

The network can see the macs and the macs can see the network......but the macs can't see the internet.Hi Duncan
MacFixit recently posted a report for subscribers testing 3rd party routers for Mac compatibility. 3 Routers did not do very well in the test:
From their report:
Routers:
MacSense [Fair]
Expressed support for Macs
Somewhat confusing process for installing firmware updates under Mac OS X
Manuals still show only Mac OS 9 screenshots/instruction
D-Link [Fair]
Mac-specific section on Web site with ostensibly compatible routers
Lack of Mac technical support
Firmware updates appear to apply specifically to Windows-related issues
Mac-specific "Quick Install" guides missing for most wireless router models -- even those listed in the Mac section
Some routers must be configured only with Firefox or an alternative browser -- Safari will not work
Reader comment: "I recently exchanged email with their tech support and was specifically informed that D-Link does not support Macs for any of their products and specifically does not recommend their use on Macs. Although many D-Link products will work on a Mac, as a user you are on your own. D-Link will not provide any direct or indirect support according to their tech support."
Linksys [Poor]
Technically Mac-compatible but lacking in Mac-specific documentation or setup software
No Mac technical support
Thought this info might be useful as you look into your router situation.

Hi All, My MacBook will not connect to the internet at my apartment.
Hi All, My MacBook will not connect to the internet at my apartment. I live with 5 other people and it works for all of them. It worked for me until about 3 weeks ago. My internet works fine at other places like cafes or other folks' homes. I've tried many things but am having no luck at all. If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear them! Thanks!
Some routers (such as my Netgear) seem to work better if you input your device's MAC address manually while on their online site. That site address should be in the manual and usually starts with something like 192.168.x.x Once on that site, input your Mac's address - a series of numbers and letters i.e. 2f.3c.45.2a.xx.xx (go to Network Preference Pane, select Airport, click on Options: at the bottom it shows "airport ID". I have all my devices listed; with that you can create a special IP address i.e.192.168.1.1, .2, .3, and so on. I've never lost connection using that method.
