Macbook will not connect to the internet

I was online then dropped off.  I tried to reconnect and nothing.  I have an iPhone which is picking up my internet activity and I have a Windows work computer picking up internet activity.  Just the Macbook wont work.  It seems dead to the internet. 

So I'm having the same problem. I woke up one morning and my macbook's ethernet connection suddenly stopped working. For some reason It wont recognize the cable.... I have tried 3 different cables and theses cables work with my sisters PC so I know the cable is not the issue. Im also living in college dorms which seems to be a commonality with this issue. I've searched for answers all over and I really don't have the time to make it to the mac store anytime soon. My wireless works but it's not allowed in my college dorms for security reasons(lame). Please help!...
Apple needs to formally address this issue.

  • 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.

  • My MacBook will not connect to the Internet, but all of my other devices connect perfectly.

    I have a MacBook and it will not connect to the Internet. It connects to wifi, but then when I open Safari, the page does not load. I have tried forgetting the wifi network, deleting keychain passwords, and restarting the computer, but nothing has worked. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

  • MacBook will not connect to the internet via ethernet cable anymore.

    My MacBook apparently decided the other day that it no longer desired to connect to the internet through an ethernet connection; it still works perfectly through a wireless network. I am a university student and so there is wireless almost everywhere so it's not so bad, but I cannot connect in my dorm and it's becoming a bit of a pain. I have tried to connect through several known working ethernet ports and no matter what my computer thinks it's not even plugged in. It's even more strange because I just woke up one morning and it was no longer working. Everything else it totally normal, save this one little inconvenience. Any ideas?

  • My Macbook Pro will recognize my network but will not connect to the internet

    My macbook will not connect to the internet at home.  It works fine on other networks, but at home it will recognize my network name but says it will not be able to connect to the internet.  This issue just sort of came up randomly.  I have shut the router off (I use Verizon Vios) and reset it and that doesn't work.  The little Wifi status at the top of the screen just has an exclamation point over it.  I haven't changed any of the default network settings.  It just stopped working.  When I take it to work and use their network or free wifi available at stores etc...it connects just fine.  A few weeks ago upgraded my operating system to Mavericks, but it has worked up until this morning.

    Do this. Go to Apple menu / System Preferences / Network.
    In the left column, click Wi-Fi. Next click Assist me, then Assistant. Follow the on screen instructions.

  • Every time my MacBook Pro is put to sleep, it will not connect to the internet when reopened unless diagnostic assistant is performed. Ridiculous!

    Every time my MacBook Pro is put to sleep, it will not connect to the internet upon reopening unless I perform diagnostic assistant.

    Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
    1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved. Make sure the box marked
    Remember networks this computer has joined
    is checked.
    2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading
    Symptom: After restarting or waking from sleep, my computer might not connect to the Internet
    3. Reset the PRAM.
    4. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
    5. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
    6. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
    7. Repair permissions on the startup volume.
    8. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
    9. Reset the System Management Controller.
    10. Reinstall OS X.

    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 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.
