MacBook no longer connects wirelessly to internet after using ethernet

So: here at home I have an airport extreme and a time capsule. The airport extreme connects to the cable modem, and the time capsule extends the wireless network created by the extreme. I was trying to do an initial time machine backup from the MacBook, so I plugged it in with an ethernet cable to speed things up. After using the cable, the MacBook will simply not connect to the internet if I connect wirelessly to the network. When wireless accessing the network, I can see the time capsule's shared drive, etc, but I can't connect through to the wider internet.
Any suggestions?

have you tried doing a power cycle on your modem and airport?

  • WRT54G ver. 6 can no longer connect to the internet after reset

    I reset my WRT54G ver. 6 to clear the password, and now I can no longer connect to the internet with it. I can see the router itself from my PC, but that is all. I've followed the directions here for connection problems, but I can't seem to get an IP Address for it in the Web Configuration tool. Anybody have any thoughts?

    Since you reset your router, you need to reconfigure it back again. try the online utility that automates the configuration. download Easy Link Connect utility at www.linksys.com/connect then download "Netset" and follow instructions.
    if not Easy Link connect didnt work then you need to do the configuration manually.
    1. check physical connection modem should be connected wired to internet port of the router then PC to numbered ports of the router.
    2. Brighthouse i believe is cable connection, right? try power cycle your devices (turn off modem and router then turn on modem 1st then router next). check if your online.
    3. if not. check PC ip. click "start" then "run" type in "cmd" then press "OK". the command prompt should pop-up. type "ipconfig" and check IP and gateway. you should be getting an ip: 192.168.1.x and gateway: 192.168.1.1
    4. access router. open IE, then type in http://192.168.1.1 on address bar.
    5. you will be prompted with username and PW. "admin" is the default password. on setup, just below are subtabs. select "MAC address clone". in it, set "mac clone" to "enable" then click on "clone" then "save settings".
    6. power cycle devices again. try to go online
    note: if you dont have latest firmware. try updating if needed

  • MacBook no longer connects to T.V. after Thunderbolt 1.2 update

    I recieved a 13 inch, mid 2012 MacBook Pro for my birthday on Dec. 20th 2013. A few days later I bought a Nexxtech Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adaptor which was working fantastically for a couple weeks when connecting my MacBook to my Insignia TV. After installing the Thunderbolt 1.2 update, my MacBook and TV no longer connect. The screen on my MacBook will flash for a second like it is detecting the TV, but that's it. I get a "no signal" sign on the TV. I've tried everything I could find on the internet. Resetting the PRAM and SMC, detecting through command + F2, turning off "displays have seperate spaces", and all the little rituals some people have to go through to get it to work. Nothing. I've even tried it on my parents LG TV. Nothing. I'm so ****** off. This was a huge reason I got a MacBook. Seeing that this update came out in May 2013 and people have been having the same issue since then, I'm not hopeful that Apple will be fixing this any time soon.

    I also can't get the media sync to connect after the update. I can get the mass storage to work with no issue, but media sync is having issues.
    Every time I connect with media sync, Windows 7 pops up a message stating that the driver failed to load and to contact Samsung. So I contacted Samsung support, which was completely useless.
    I need the media sync to work because that's the only way I've found to get DRM-protected media files to transfer properly to my Charge. If I copy them to my phone while in mass storage mode, I can't play them because there is a licensing error.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • My iPad 2 will no longer connect to the internet after iOS 6 update

    HELP!! My iPad doesny connect tot the internet anymore. I down loaded iOS 6 today (9/19/12) and now it doesnt connect tot the internet anymore.

    Hello dchoffa,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    I would start with this troubleshooting from the article named:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
    Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
    Tap and Forget this Network.
    Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
    Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
    Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
    Update your device to the latest version of software.
    Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
    If the above troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, I would next try the troubleshooting in one of the other sections down toward the bottom that fits your scenario.
    Regards,

  • My MacBook no longer connects to the Internet even though my wifi bar is connected and full

    I don't know what I am doing wrong
    My iPad can connect no problem but my MacBook doesn't
    In settings the wifi is green and connected
    The Ethernet is red
    Fire wire is red
    And Bluetooth is red
    I tried changing from dhcp to dhcp with manual but nothing seems to work

    Full bars would just indicate that your MacBook is connected to a wireless network. Typically when a computer can connect to the local network but not the Internet means that it is not configured properly to do so.
    What may be missing in your computer's configuration is the proper IP address information.
    Go to Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > TCP/IP tab
    Configure IPv4 should be set to "Using DHCP," and the IPv4 Address, Subnet Mask, & Router fields should be populated with the appropriate IP addresses for your network.
    Go to the DNS tab
    There should be one or more DNS servers listed. These are either the ones provided by your ISP or ones that you set up yourself.

  • My iPad (original) no longer connects to the internet after update to ios 5.  Are there any solutions to this issue?

    Has anyone found a successful method to connect?  This is not a router issue as other devices, including another iPad not updated to ios 5 connects just fine.  I am getting frustrated

    I had this problem.  I held down the power switch to power down completely.  Takes a few seconds.  Then use the power switch to turn on.  Might take a couple goes.

  • HT4623 update to ios 6.1.1 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the internet, when I am connected to my Wifi. Do I need to adjust some settings?

    Update to IOS 6.1.1 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the Internet when using home Wifi and verifing connectivity by using Safari to surf net and viewing wifi setting. Do setting need to be adjusted?

    This is what worked for me: Double tap your home button to bring up the programs running in the back ground, press and hold so they show the red close option and close all programs.  After that shut your iphone down and power back on.  Immediately go to General>Software Update and it should work.  Good Luck

  • Who can shed some light on my ongoing connection problem. After upgrading my iPad Air with IOS 7.06, I could no longer connect to the internet. I have 2 MacBooks Air, 1 ipad mini and one iPhone 4S running on the same network, and they are all connected to

    Who can shed some light on my ongoing connection problem.
    After upgrading my iPad Air with IOS 7.06, I could no longer connect to the internet.
    I have 2 MacBooks Air, 1 ipad mini and one iPhone 4S running on the same network, and they are all connected to the net and function well.
    So I cleaned up the ipad completely, installed the latest firmware and reinstalled my apps : no connection.
    I tried all things of resets and forgets. No result.
    I have been fondling with my Airport Extreme 5 , but that did not help much.
    This morning I went to a neighbor , hooked my ipad air on his network, typed the password and the thing all worked fine.
    I have tried to connect the ipad air as an ethernet client, but that did not work. „Not enough power“ was the statement
    Ideas anyone ?

    Yes I tried this manyfold. But did not work.  Reading on, I took Tesserac's advice. Shut down router and computer.
    Start router after 15 minutes and wait another 10 minutes before starting the computer.
    Et voila.... everything is back in working order,

  • My macbook pro (lion 10.7.2) takes several minutes to connect to the internet after waking from sleep.  Is there any way to make this instant?

    The message that comes up when I click on "TomTom Home Install" is "You cannot open Home Install because Power PC applications are no longer supported." Does this mean that the TomTom, which is absolutely vital to my life - well, not literally but you know what I mean - can no longer be used with my MacBook Pro?
    What that means is that is can't be used with Lion 10.7.  PowerPC was the chip Apple used up until 2006 when they switched to Intel.  At that point, they created the Rosetta emulator to allow for PPC support for 5 years.  They finally dropped the support with the release of Lion.  It will only work with OS X 10.6 or earlier.  The other option is to purchase a new GPS, which can be had for $100 for a decent one.

  • Ipad no longer connects to internet after using remote app for apple TV

    I can use the Remote app on my Ipad to connect to Itunes library through my apple TV but as soon as I do that, I can no longer connect to the internet on my Ipad.  The network stays connected on my Ipad but no internet.  I have to recycle the router (airport extreme) and power off the Apple TV.  Once I do that I can then connect to the internet again.  I am using a Mac Pro as my desktop with airport extreme as my router.  All software is up to date.  Appreciate any thoughts anyone might have.  Its a pain to use that litte remote for my Apple TV.

    My question: Is it normal for the internet connection to switch from an Apple Network to another network?
    No.
    You are probably connecting to a neighbor's wireless network. Unplug your base station and see if the network remains.

    My 13" early 2011 macbook pro is having trouble connecting back to internet after going to sleep. before updating to EFI 2.7 it was perfect now after updating its gone bad.

    Same issue here too.  I will try reinstalling the firmware update.  This has happend to me twice.  The only way to correct the issue was to reboot.

  • Safari no longer connects to the internet

    I upgraded to OS Yosemite in my iMac (must be approaching 4 years old) and everything has been working fine.  Had a couple of applications where they closed unexpectedly, but nothing major and things have continued as they always have.  Apps have also automatically updated.   As of today, Safari will no longer connect to the internet and I keep getting the classic "the server unexpectedly dropped the connection" blurb and I kept being told that a disk that I hadn't put in the machine is not being recognized.
    I'm typing this on my MacBook Air so I know that Safari can work fine (also having no problem with my iPad or iPhone) and there is no issue with my ISP' modem (I'm with Virgin Media), connector or Netgear wireless router.  Tonight I have performed a recovery install and now I have this annoying message saying how I need a particular Java plugin, which I can't sort out because Safari can't connect to the internet.  I have also performed a router reset, without remedy.
    Logically, as I see it, the issue lies with Safari, and due to it being the only internet access on my iMac, I can't even download Firefox or access the App Store so looks like I can't update.  A friend is also having the same issues with his iPad, so I know this isn't just my iMac
    Looking for some answers here?  Anyone?
    Thanks

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    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?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Why can't I no longer connect to the Internet via my AirPort Extreme Base?

    I suddenly can no longer connect to the Internet through my AirPort Extreme. Everything was fine until this morning. My Base Station is connected to a DSL modem and then my computer connects to the Internet wirelessly through the Base Station. The center light is on in the Base Station. The left light flickers telling me there is wireless activity. I can still access my printer through the Base Station. But the right light is no longer flickering. I have rebooted everything several times. Does anyone have insight into this problem. This is the second time this has happened. For over a month I could not access the Internet through the Base Station, and then suddenly and arbitrarily it started working again. This morning it just stopped again.

    I've had the same problem - mine started after I upgraded to 10.4.8 on my MacBook a week or so ago.
    I can see other networks around my home and when I travel, but can only connect via ethernet cable (and my ISP is comcast - I thought the upgrade was supposed to help make connecting with comcast better).
    My G3 has no problem connecting, so I don't think it's exactly a problem with my modem, or base station, or even comcast. I think it has something to do with my base station and upgrading to 10.4.8. Btw, dropping back to 10.4.6 hasn't helped.
