Mac won't connect to the Internet after 10.8.5

Hey,
So I updated my MacBook Pro earlier today to 10.8.5 and after the update I put it to sleep. I just got on and cannot connect to the Internet from my Mac. All my other devices can connect perfectly well. It says I am connected to my WiFi but when I go on my browser, no pages load. I've tried restarting my Mac and my router, none of which have worked.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take all the applicable steps in this support article.  
Step 2
If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it.
Step 4
This step will erase all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 6
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present. 
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

    I have the same problem with Iphone !!!!
    I have linksys router and modem but I think that the reason could be a setting in mac.
    Anyone can help me???

    I tried re-installing Mountain Lion 10.8.3 but it didn´t help.
    Assuming your can access email ok ?
    First, install the OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo)
    Then restart your Mac. That will reinstall any missing system files.
    Then try Safari.

  • My MAC won't connect to the internet anymore. I have ran the Diagnostic check and other computers are able to connect but my MAC no longer will. Please help.

    Please tell me what I need to do to fix this problem. It was working fine yesterday and now today that is not the case. Thank you.

    I had the same issue! My 24"  2008 iMac was working perfectly. Yesterday I used my BootCamp partition and when I went back to my Mac OS I couldn't connect to the internet!
    The computer looks like it's connected but it won't navigate at all! I tried to verify the network settings and when I tried to do that my System Preferences app hang-up. I had to Force quit it and reboot the computer couple of times to double check.
    Then I run de Disk utility to verify the disk & permissions and the scan result was that the disk was not repairable, I had to make a timeMachine backup of my personal data and completely format my HD including the BOOTCAMP partition to reinstall MAC OS 10.6 and all the updates and everything and now Everything is working perfectly.
    I first tried to only format my MAC OS partition and reinstall but there was another error that the insallation couldn't be completed. Then I completely erases all partitions and erased all the files and I was able to reinstall everything in a couple of hours.

  • Just switched from Qwest DSL to CableOne cable internet and now my mac won't connect to the internet.

    I've spent 2 hours on the phone with CableOne and they can't figure our why my MacPro isn't connecting to the internet through their Arris modem. I can connect to my network and see all my computers... so the ethernet port is working but the internet won't connect. I've tried Safari and Firefox browsers. My PC connects using the same ethernet cord with no problems. I've also tried connecting the computer directly to the modem with no results. And the ethernet port says it's connected and gives me an ip address. I'm out of ideas at this point. Any suggestions?

  • Firefox won't connect to the internet after trying all the troubleshooting, reinstalling, checking my firewall, etc. Help!

    OK, I've got Firefox re-installed but it still can't connect to the internet. The original issue disabled my Norton antivirus and I'm currently using Windows defender. I've removed Mozilla from the allow list as suggested in the troubleshooting and then re-added it, but that didn't help, Any suggestions? I'm running a full virus scan now, it's been 2.5 hours now and still running. I can't figure out what is stopping FF from accessing internet and so far none of the suggestions have worked. I'm running windows 8. I'm trying to install the troubleshooting info but it keeps asking me what to open the xpi file with and I have no idea. dammit this is so annoying. Ok, got the troubleshooting info added manually. Hope that helps someone help me.

    Thanks, that didn't work either. I finally got it figured out with some help from a co worker. My norton antivirus was blocking the upgrade,even though the upgrade had disabled it. Weird, but once we updated and downloaded the new norton things worked fine. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

    have you made sure that the network setting in the system preferences is set up to use dhcp? if not i would try changing it so that it shows that it is getting its address by dhcp

  • HT4628 My Mac Air OSX10.8.5 won't connect to the internet as it says it has a self assigned IP address and thus cannot connect to the internet. I can only connect to a network by manually typing in the configuration specs. Please help.

    My mac air OSX10.8.5 won't connect to the internet. It says it has a 'self assigned IP address and therefore cannot connect to the internet'. Network diagnostics is unable to the solve the problem. It happened suddenly for no reason and now I cannot connect except by typing in the configuration settings manually. Please help me!

    Use the Airport Utility or log into your wireless device via http and ensure the DHCP/NAT service is enabled.  If accessing via HTTP, you will need to manually set an ip within your local subnet (eg: 192.168.0.x).

  • My Mac won't connect to the wireless internet

    My MacBook won't connect to the internet. Yet my phone and iPad will. I have tried turing the laptop on and off. Shutting the airport on and off and turning the Bluetooth on and off. And it still won't connect.

    Thanks for that.  Would this affect App store and iTunes though? Neither of them are working.

  • Won't connect to the internet

    my imac won't connect to the internet/server, however, at&t verified that my service is fine. how can i connect?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • My MacBook Pro won't connect to the Internet, but my phone and PC will.

    My MacBook Pro won't connect to the Internet. My iPhone has no problem doing so, and neither does my PC. I think it's something to do with my DNS, but I'm not sure. My network connections say that both my Ethernet or FireWire are failed. What's wrong with my MacBook? Is there a simple way to fix this?
