Macbook keeps dropping internet connection but other devices are fine???

I work from home & this is making me completely insane. My MacBook will drop the wifi connection constantly, I will be doing things just fine & the all of a sudden I will not be able to load something & any tab/page I have open will be "spiraling" or loading and get frozen up. My gmail contact list will all go to offline and I get a message that gmail lost connectivity. The bars on the top right of my monitor showing wireless connection will always be there (usually all 5 are dark), and it will say (both under that icon & in System Preferences-Network) that I am connected to my airport extreme. Sometimes my Skype icon at the top will stay green & logged in, but most of the time it goes grey/offline as well. I lose connectivity for anywhere from 2 min to 15 min 5-6 times a day (and that is just when I'm on the computer, I'm not on it all day) and then it just spontaneously comes back again.
My husband has a MacBook also & will have no problems even when I am having problems, and my ipad will get on our wifi no problem at the same time, so I know it is not the router/modem. This computer has been giving me trouble for months, with slow connections previously and then not being able to connect to wifi at my mother's house and then in an apartment we were living in temporarily, but I thought once I was back on my own Airport it would be ok and now it is worse. Firefox doesn't work either, so it is not Safari, although I use Safari primarily & it starts in there (and I got to Firefox to double check & see if I can get online in there which I can't).
I went to the Genius Bar the other day & was beyond frustrated, as the guy 'pinged' google 100 times with no problems, checked settings, ran some diagnostic & visited a few websites, told me nothing was wrong, he didn't know what to tell me and just looked at me like I was crazy, then started messing around on his ipad and ignoring me. When I asked if maybe my computer got infected or corrupted by something he again just stared at me and said there is no known virus for the Mac OS. He gave me NO advice, nothing to look for diagnostially when it occurs again so I feel like I'm at a total loss here. Please help.
On a side note, in the last week or two Safari is also now not saving any of my cookies/passwords/logins for more than a day or two and I have not changed a single setting. Plus I set up gmail 2 step verification b/c I got a notice that my acct had been accessed from another state (I changed password, etc) and it is supposed to remember my computer for 30 days but I have to get the text sent with a new verification code like every other day because it is not remembering me, which is very annoying.
Could these issues all be connected????

Hi Lisa,
Seems we have a similar problem and it is driving me nuts.
I don't have the password problem, but my connection drops out for 2 minutes and over.
If you bring up the diagnostics window from the prompt on the Safari page, when pages won't load again, it will tell you that everything up to the last 2 options is fine.
I've had the problem ever since I upgraded to the last MacOs, might have been for over a year now.
Since a couple of weeks I actually found that when no page is loading at all, go to the search field in the top bar of Safari. (my default is Google) it will actually bring up the Google page, then open just any other page and usually that will let you continue to browse the internet untill it plays up again.
I know it is very annoying but untill a fix or a solution this will have to be the way for me to work around it.
Finding the time to reinstall Lion is probably the best option.
Hopefully someone else does have a better solution for the time being.

Hi
I am experiencing wireless connection problem on 4s after ios 8.1 upgrade. The wireless icon appears showing that it's connected but webpages do not load. I have checked my internet connection with other devices and seems to be alright. what to do?
I have tried reseting the network settings and forgetting my wireless connection and re-connecting to it. I even backed up my phone on itunes and restored it, factory reseted it. Nothing seems to work.
Also after my upgrade to ios 8.1 my personal hotspot option under cellular data has disappeared.
Would you please help me out? I would really appreciate it.

Hi..
Restart your router then restart the iPhone to test.
If that doesn't help, try this support article > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

Imac will only connect to my home wifi via ISP hotspot. All other devices are fine (iphone, ipad etc). its driving me nuts!

My imac (2 yrs old) will not connect to my home wifi with the exception of my ISP hotspot. All other devices are fine (iphone, ipad etc). I have changed my ISP recently and this issue has never happened before. I am with my current ISP for about 7 weeks and this was not an issue for the first 2/3 weeks. Went through the usual set up procedures but alas...nothing. Message states unable to join network! Don't think it is an ISP issue as all other devices work perfect...or is it? As I said It did work at the start, but no longer. I recently moved to NJ from Ireland, so my imac is a European model (don't think that makes a difference?) I can only presume it is the settings on the imac. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thx

Hi - out of action for a few days. To answer your questions:
- and click on Advanced and make sure everything is correct - all in order
- Also check on your router's website to make sure the iMac is recognized there - it IS NOT recognized here as other devices are
- do you by chance have your router set up to do Mac filtering? - i don't know..how do I check?
Thx

On my iPad mini, my inbox number count is over 500 even though the inbox. Is empty. All accounts do this on my iPad but all my other device are fine. Problem showed up two weeks ago???

On my iPad mini, my inbox number count is over 500 even though the inbox. Is empty. All accounts do this on my iPad but all my other device are fine. Problem showed up two weeks ago???

Hi Peter,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the Mail app on your iPad mini is showing that you have over 500 unread email messages, but your inbox is actually empty.
There are several steps I'd use to troubleshoot this situation.
First, restart your iPad to see if it clears up the symtom:
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
If this doesn't correct the behavior, try removing and re-adding the affected email accounts next:
Get help with Mail on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the affected email account.
Tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.
If the same thing happens after re-adding the account, you may need to use the steps below to reinstall iOS. You may want to back up your iPad to iTunes before completing this step.
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
From:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
All the best,
Jeremy

My ipod touch will not detect any wifi signals but other devices are connected to the wifi; please help!??

My ipod touch will not detect any wifi signals but others devices such as my laptops; do connect without a problem. I restored my ipod and updated it and still no wifi signals are being detected.

Go to your ipod touch wireless settings chose your network and right beside there is button looks like ">" click on that check the dhcp what IP are you getting? do you get any ip? if you do your ipod touch should work with wireless no problem. Also, you may have to enter wep key again. After that it shou,d save your device

Letmewatchthis.ch won't load "Problem loading page" but other sites are fine. Regular visitor to that site and tests show it is up

Just suddenly 3 hours ago, letmewatchthis.ch stopped working for me "Unable to connect

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network

If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web."
All other sites are fine and I have used letmewatchthis over 1,000 times. I ha it tested on a few on the test sites and apparently it is just me :/

this is still happening -- getting a bad gateway error or even the link to I guess their host:
https://www.mediasecure.org/
have noticed another site that has disappeared also called moviestvlinks.com is going to server not found.

after much waiting finally loaded hope it works.

I upgraded Lion recently to 10.7.3. Since that time I am having trouble with my wireless connection. All other devices are fine, but I keep losing the connection since the upgrade.

Recently I upgraded Lion to 10.7.3. Since that time I have been having a lot of trouble with my internet connection. I keep losing the connect and have to go to diagnostics and turn it back on. Is anyone else having this problem?
Thanks, Pat

I'm afraid there are numerous threads on here discussing this problem. I posted in this one earlier that has a couple of suggestions, but the real solution will hopefully be provided in an update from Apple:

Cisco ASA 5505 - Keeps dropping internet connection

Hi,
We are having some issues with our Cisco ASA 5505 unit, it intermittently drops the outside interface connection. Internally the network appears to be working correctly with no issues. Even though the outside interface indicates it is 'up' access to the internet is lost from our LAN. This seems to be ocourring more and more often! This is happening for all users on the network too. Reloading the ASA seems to correct the problem temporally but this isn't really an option during peak periods in the day as this would obviously hinder work being carried out by employees.
Any ideas?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
John

Hello,
What happens when you assign eth0 as internal interface and eth1 as outside if?
Also configure logging (/debugging) to see if there are hardware issues or something else.
And it seems you have a range of public addresses. What happens when you connect a device, e.g. a laptop directly on the internet access device and send continue ping to an internet host.
When you loose internet connectivity, is the laptop still pinging to that host?
Hopefully this helps you,
Kind regards,

Macbook keeps dropping wireless connection

Hi
this is my first post so be gentle with me LOL
I have had many issues with BT over the last 8 months, mostly due to the speed I had in my area (was 0.45MB when wired at one point), but I recently started to have an issue with the laptops in the house.
I have 2 teenagers and luckily for them we all have Macbooks as I have given them my old ones when I have upgraded I am using a macbook pro (less than a year old & wireless N) and my eldest boy is using a Macbook (about 6 years old with wireless G) you might see where I'm going here....
the problem is the older macbook keeps losing connection on the wireless, I have called and spoken to the 1st line support guys in India but it's a bit of luck if you can understand them let alone find someone who knows what they are doing. As I work in IT I completely understand and normally ask them to read my notes before advising me especially as I had so many issues last year when I was given a number to get through to the priority care team LOL , so far I have tried the following:
moving the Hub 3 to several locations around the house
reinstalling snow leopard
using a wireless dongle
I live in the middle of nowhere so there are no other houses around which have a hub3 sp none can be affecting me and I've checked this by using programs like inSIDDer.
Finally I thought I'd take it to work to see if I could get the model number of the wireless card and order a new one and guess what it works fine!! So I thought I'd check at a friends and again it works fine for the whole time I'm there.
Brought it home and it won't stay connected GRRRAAA!!!!!!!
I've heard that the hub3 doesn't like having a wireless N & and wireless G laptops on the connecting at the same time is this correct? Has anyone else heard of this?
finnally I do have windows machines in the house and none of them (2 laptops and a desktop which is wired) are having an issue but the Sony TV which is wired directly in to the hub will also drop connection randomly between 8 PM and 10 PM every day so I'm leaning towards the hub being a rubbish router instead of the problem lying with my Macbook

Unable to connect to the internet with firefox but other browsers are fine

i have been a firefox user for years and i have became very dependant on it. However for the past few weeks (i am using the latest version) firefox have been giving me problem. Sporadically and very frequently, there will be connection problem, it would be fine one second and the very next second i cant be connected to anywhere. whatever i click on will not bring me to a new page. it will appear to be loading but eventually nothing will come out. However i do not have this problem with google chrome safari or IE so i do not think its my connection problem. I would really want to continue using firefox so please any help on this?

Hi,
Please check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode.] And ideally '''No Proxy''' should be enabled in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''Network '''> '''Settings...''', if you are not using a proxy.

Constant WiFi connection issues where other devices are fine. "Sending request..."

I experience the same issues as some other posters here with the MacBook Pro, Lion, and certain networks. All other devices (Android phone, Windows laptop, iPad...) deal with the situation just fine on the same networks. The MacBook however gets its knickers in a twist:
I get perpetual "Sending request..." messages at the status bar of Google Chrome. All applications fail to find internet, despite full bars. This was only an issue since upgrading to Lion. A reboot of the Mac will always solve it, meaning it is not the router. Rebooting the router often does not solve it. Turning WiFi off then on sometimes solves it. Quitting Chrome/Safari sometimes solves it. But rebooting the Mac always solves it. This indicates it is an issue Apple really need to address.
Are there any ideas here? I have made sure there are no DNS entries. I have deleted my home network several times and re-added it. I have hard reset the router, and been through three (that's not a misprint) routers.
I doubt it is a hardware issue with the Mac as it only started with Lion, on the same Mac.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
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 your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

IPhone can't connect to my wifi, can connect to others. My other devices are fine. Basic T-shooting steps fail.

Sorry for the repeat post but I want to get more help with this.
Prior to problem: All devices surfing wirelessly on Airport Express.
Replaced Airport Express with Time Capsule.
Problem: Wife's iPhone4 (5.1.1) can not surf on wifi provided by my time capsule. All my other devices (iMac, Mac Air, iPad and my iPhone) can. Wife's iPhone can surf on an unsecure network somewhere nearby in my apartment complex. (Which to me, rules out a hardware problem).
Steps taken: Tapped iPhone wifi On/Off multiple times with no change. "Forget this network" multiple times with no change. Reset iPhone Network Settings multiple times with no change. Restored iPhone using iTunes as New iPhone once with no change. (Since doing that, I have restored with back up of iPhone settings and data.) Powered Time Capsule on/off several times with no change. Turned wireless security off with no change. Security is back on. It is WPA 2 Personal with a lengthy password. I'm not getting the "incorrect password" msg. Renewed lease multiple times with no change.
Other indications: 3G is in upper left. Status wheel is spinning next to my network's name. On the initial "Settings" window, my network name is shown (as if it were connected. But tapping it and going to the "wifi networks" window shows the list of available networks with the status wheel spinning next to mine.) Tapping the blue arrow on my network name leads to the window that has "forget this network" at the top, and a list of blank fields: IP address, subnet mask, router and so on. DHCP is chosen, HTTP proxy is OFF. Sometimes, the top two fields (ip address and subnet mask) have values filled in, but the rest of the fields don't.
On my Time Capsule, as seen via Airport Utility (V5.5.3), 3 devices are shown as connected. Clicking this provides a listing. My wife's iPhone wi-fi address is listed. It's "rate" however is 1. My imac is 216 and my iphone is 65. BTW, iOS devices drop off the list when they go to sleep. No big deal there.
Back to Airport Utility, in the summary tab... status is normal, version is 7.6.1, wireless mode is "create a wireless network", security is "wpa/wpa2 personal", channel is 149 auto and 1 auto (I tried changing 1 to 11 with no change), connect using "ethernet" and finally my IP address begings with 76. 76.xxx.xxx.xxx
Moving to the "Wireless" tab of Airport utility... wireless mode is "create a wireless network", radio mode is auto, radio ch. selection is auto, wireless security is wpa/wpa2 personal, "remember password in keychain" is checked. Now Clicking on the "wireless network options" button..... 5ghz is not checked, country is USA, multicast rate is "low", t-mit power is "100%", WPA group key timeout is 1 day (it used to be 1 hour but this has made no change in the problem), "use wide channels" is not checked, "create a closed network" is not checked.
MAC access control is not enabled. But it was enabled previously and I added my devices by their Wi-Fi addresses one at a time until i decided to turn it off due to this problem. this resulted in no change with the problem.
Personally, I feel the prob lies with the DHCP and ip address and related fields, but I don't know enough about what their values should be in relation to my other devices to alter them on my own.

I pasted below a response that helped.... sort of. I followed the directions below. At the end, all my devices were connected to my network. BUT, the last device I connected, my MacAir, did not stay connected for long. It now has the exclamation point in the middle of the wi-fi icon in the top right of the screen.
This event agrees with my original problem: It was my wife's iPhone that was the last to be connected to my network and the only one to fail to connect.
Is there a limit to how many devices can be connected to my time capsule? I have 5 devices. What is "extending?" Do I need to do that?

This solved my questionRe: Airport Express wifi network not working
Mar 1, 2012 1:46 PM (in response to Don_McCracken)
Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon, then click the Internet Connection tab
Make sure that the setting for Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Update to save any changes
Then power down the entire network...all devices....power down order is not important
Wait a few minutes
Power up the modem/router first and let it run a full minute by itself
Power up the Express the same way
Continue powering up devices one at a time the same way until everything is powered back up
You should be able to connect through the Express and on to the Internet

Internet networking suddenly fails on my G4, other devices are fine?

Problem my G4 PowerBook running 10.5.8 has hit this week...
i.e. G4 browsers and program's work fine on my internal network i.e. using Safari to connect to media players and many other bits of internal kit, but any access to the Internet and it's as if I don't have a working connection. This has prevented me connecting to iTunes and all Internet websites, also get connection error while checking for macs os updates. I'm sure I saw an Airport update last week as part of a regular check - so wondering if other networking code changed or mucked up settings like MTU? I get the same issue on WiFi as well as wired LAN. This is the first time EVER I've seen a cable connected Apple or Windows PC come to that fail to connect, so it must be some very base level issue... I guess it could be hardware, if it's the same chip doing WiFi and LAN?
I've tried the tricks some folk have seen work, like boot in safe mode by holding the shift key down during boot and using a fixed IP address rather than DHCP. All other devices, including horrible Windows PC's, work fine accessing the Internet, plus iPhones and iPads... so it seems something has happened to my PowerBook :-(
Come on Apple, I see several similar issues while wasting a Sunday trying to fix this...
... one problem is even if they do fix it, how do we get it - unless there's a downloadable 10.5.9 how would we get to load it!!
Also, Apple support pages tell me 10.5.8 is the last Leapard update and that I should update my hardware!!!

Can't connect to AOL website---but other sites are fine

To whom it may concern.....
Im having a really odd problem here that has been plaguing me for the last 6 months, my wife can not get to www.aol.com on one of the following devices, one of 3 laptops (2 win 1 mac), 2 iphones, 1 ipad or a desktop computer. I have tried rebooting the router several times and no luck, ive tired ie firefox, safari, and opera and no browser can get to the web site I even uninstalled any antivirus or firewall software and nothing. Here is the odd thing though with opera when I turn the "turbo" mode feature for slow internet connection, I can actually get to aol.com and surf but not their webmail and then after a few minutes with the site it will time out eventually. I do notice when going to aol.com its takes a very long time to respond back with a can't get to site. I have tried several ways in getting to the site, with different means, however when I use a cellular 3G/4G connection to any of the admentioned computers I can get to aol.com with no issues mail works fine as if nothing is going on. Now I have a 35mb connection and I just upgraded it to 75Mb speed yesterday (awaiting for it to be turned up) and I also ordered the new actiontec fios modem with gigabit network, is there anything that would be causing me not to get to aol.com from my fios internet?
Thanks
Rob
Solved!
Go to Solution.

On one of the computers, statically set the DNS Servers to;
8.8.8.8
4.2.2.3
208.67.222.222
and then try to access AOL.Com from that computer.
