MBP will not connect to internet PLEASE HELP;)
I have a MBP that will not connect to the internet. The airport shows an ip, but shows failed for internet and server. I have another laptop, desktop, ipad 2&3, iphone and 3 ipods connected to wifi and work flawlessly. I called the ISP and spoke with them for about 2 hours and they say all settings are right, and they can even see the MBP on their end. Can someone please help me, thanks in advance.
Wanted to add, i cannot connect with ethernet either, wired directly to modem by bypassing router.
Your MacBook Pro does "see" your router, so it's either a problem with the passphrase (in this case, Ethernet shouldn't be affected, but it is), and you can bypass it by entering your passphrase again, preceded by the "$" sign (no quotes), or for some reason the MAC addresses of both your Airport and Ethernet chips on the MacBook Pro aren't cleared by the router. If you have MAC filtering enabled on the router, disable it, or if you must press some handshake button on the router, first disable Airport on your MBP, then presss the handshake button on the router, then enable Airport on the Mac again.
My money's on the MAC address filtering, though... There could be a certain number of possible MAC addresses the router can accept, and adding new devices in the household may have pushed your MBP out of the winners list somehow.

Iphone 4 will not connect to PC Please Help!
My wifes Iphone 4 is not detected by my pc.
I have tried with USB cable and Firewire cable from my old ipod. My old ipod connects and syncs fine with both cables.
The iphone will connect to my old laptop (xp) via USB, so the problems appeares to be my PC.
I have tried windows Vista. and recently updated to Windows 7, clean install and still the iphone will not connect. I also had the very same problem with and Ipod touch, which i returned as faulty :\.
When i plug the iphone in I get nothing on the phone and nothing on the pc. I have already tried reseting/restoring the iphone. rebooting pc. fiddling with the apple mobile device service etc but no joy. Itunes is obviosly installed and uptodate. have also tried removing all other usb devices.
So its my PC but why? when everything else USB works without fail Why wont this piece of crap connect?
My pc is running Windows 7 64bit 4GB on a Quad core processor. Not brand new but not some ancient piece of scrap either.
Please help!I upgraded over the air with no problems at first. It does seem to fix my fast battery drain (iphone 4, not 4s) problem that I was having. However, now my mobile internet is EXTREMELY SLOW... even wifi seems to drag. Anyone got a fix?

MBP will not connect to internet except direct ethernet.
Yesterday I lost all connection to the internet. The only way to connect is straight off the modem. I have ATT Voip and Airport Extreme running through an Xrouter. They have worked fine for years now, and all of the sudden no dice. Modem straight to Airport, modem straight to Voip, modem to router will not connect.
I don't know if this has anything to do with it but this started as soon as I turned on Bluetooth.

IPod Touch will not connect to iTunes, please help..
I purchased an iPod Touch yesterday. I synced it up to iTunes, everything fine. After disconnecting and then reconnecting later I found that the computer didn't recongize it and it did nothing but charge the iPod. I've tried many times, all to either have it do nothing, crash iTunes, or give me the message "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because of an unknown error (0xE8000001)". I've tried reinstalling iTunes, the whole Apple Device Service, the USB problems.. everything. I have USB 2.0, Version 1.1.2 of the iPod, and iTunes version 7.5. Please, please try and answer my problem.
I've also restored using a friends computer, it works fine the first sync after I restore on his comp, but after that it does what I described above.
Please helpI was having the same problem but what I made was:
Conect iPod Touch into a USB port but from the back of the PC
Then *shut dawn* the iPod no lock *shut dawn*
then reinstall iTunes (it has to be iTunes 7.5 o later)
open iTunes
turn on iPod Touch
and it most work
o restart your PC and try again -
MBP will not connect to internet when it wakes
Howdy, I am running a new MBP with Lion and recently have started having a problem. I close the lid put it to sleep come back later and safari says i have no internet. Network diagnostics says there is not a problem, my wifi shows that it's connected to my router, my iPad connects so I know it's not the router or my ISP. Eventually, (usually 5 min or so) BAM!!! suddenly it connects like nothing ever happened, and runs like a champ until the next time it goes to sleep. Any ideas out there from the Mighty Mac Gods? Thanks ahead of time.
I have the same problem, same test with iPad and router. It takes about 1 min to connect. This is actually a new problem for me, my 2011 MBP running Lion was fine a few weeks ago so it has to be a software update. Very annoying.

MBP upgraded to Yosemite and now will not connect to Internet using a Cisco router
I Upgraded my MBP mid 2010 to Yosemite and now it will not connect to Internet using a system that involves typing in my user name and password in an auto pop up window provided by Cisco security systems. Before, using Mavericks, it worked perfectly: boot up MBP and the Cisco pop up auto loaded. Typed it my password and hey presto, connected to Internet. Now, zilch. There is nothing wrong with the Cisco cos my iPad connects ok, as do both my iPhone's.
the problem is with Yosemite therefore. Please help. I tried all the usual diags, etc to no avail.
Message was edited by: AWACSounds like there could be some kind of compatibility issue between ICS and this Bluetooth device of yours. Is there any compatibility info from the manufacturer about which Android versions that's being supported?

Lost all ability to connect to internet - Please Help!!
This evening, opened my MBP 2010 and found that my networks will not connect to internet. It says I'm connected to wifi but nothing will load, no apps that require network connection, safari, nothing. Tried ethernet cable which says connected with DHCP when I'm looking at network prefs, but no connection of any kind. I have a Verizon Fios router with Time Capsule (most recent version from Jan 2012) creating a separate network and a AEBS and Airport Express extending that network throughout the house. No problems of any significance (that couldn't be solved with turning router on and off) in the past. Of note, my wife's Macbook Air (which I'm typing this email on) is having NO problems connecting to either the Verizon network or the Airport network. On my MBP, I get neither. I have tried deleting the networks from Network Prefs and adding back but they just will not connect. Is there a way to completely reset my network prefs and start over? Do I need to do that? How can I have one Macbook that connects to everything and another that can't connect to anything. Both are running 10.7.4 and have similar software installed. I tried booting in SAFE MODE and get the same results. I even get the exclamation mark inside the wifi symbol on my menu bar for both of them. WHAT THE HECK is going on??!!? PLEASE HELP!!!
OK, I understand that you can connect to the Verizon router using an Ethernet connection and wireless does not work.
I also understand that you have deleted all of the network listings in System Preferences > Network > WiFi > Advanced.
Please check again to make sure that all of the listings are cleared out. Be sure to click OK and then Apply when you do this.
Next, open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access
Look for any listing with the name of the Verizon wireless network. Click on that listing to highlight it, then click the Delete key on your Mac.
Then do the same for any of the wireless networks that are provided by the Apple devices.
Close KeyChain Access and restart your Mac.
See if you can log on to the Verizon wireless network now. You should be asked for the password to connect, if you successfully deleted the old networks and the listings for the password in KeyChain Access. -

My ipad says it is connected to WiFi, which is workingly perfectly for several other devices, will not connect to internet. It keeps giving the message 'Cannot Connect' or error has occurred or just blink off site or icon?
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Airport shows being connected but will not connect to internet
Airport will not connect to internet yet shows me as connected.
When and if I do get connected, I will loose the connection and unable to access the internet.
This has happened using several different wireless locations.
Please help as to what my settings should be or how to correct the problemWhat debugging steps have you taken?
Connecting to your wireless network and connecting to the Internet are two different parts of the connection process.
If you open your Network preferences panel does it show you have an IP address of the form 169.x.x.x? -
All of a sudden my iTunes 10.1.1.4 will not connect to internet radio
Hi all,
All of a sudden yesterday, my iTunes 10.1.1.4 will not connect to internet radio. It has otherwise been working fine for almost two years.
My internet connection is working fine for web browsing and email.
I ran the iTunes diagnositcs and it showed me how to go in to the Windows Firewall settings to check to see if there was a connection... there was already one for iTunes in the list of accepted connections. Just to be sure, I created a new iTunes connection exception and it didn't help.
The iTunes diagnostics test shows all information as being normal except this info, pasted in below, about the Firewall test...
Firewall Information
Windows Firewall is on.
iTunes is NOT enabled in Windows Firewall.
Connection attempt to Apple web site was successful.
Connection attempt to browsing iTunes Store was successful.
Connection attempt to purchasing from iTunes Store was successful.
Connection attempt to iPhone activation server was successful.
Connection attempt to firmware update server was unsuccessful.
The network connection timed out.
But this information is partially incorrect, according to the Windows Firewall settings themselves. My Windows Firewall settings show that iTunes is indeed enabled in Windows Firewall.
I can access the iTunes store, but there doesn't seem to be any test in the iTunes diagnostics that makes it test to see if it is connecting to the iTunes internet radio server.
Is there possibley a current problem happening with the iTunes internet radio connection?
Thanks for any suggestions.
numetroHi movem,
Are you saying that Apple has changed the URL for every internet radio station in the entire iTunes radio station library?... or are you suggesting that just some of the internet radio stations in my playlist changed their own URLs?
It seems unlikely that it happens to be that every single internet radio station in my playlist of a hundred radio stations all happened to change thier URLs at the same time, since all of the stations in my playlist will not play from that playlist.
When I went through and found some of the radio stations in the giant default internet radio station library in iTunes, I found some of my old ones that were in my playlist and they play fine and they can be put in to a new playlist and they play fine there too, but the very same stations still will not play from my old original playlist.
So it makes sense if you are saying that Apple has somehow changes all the URLs for all the radio stations in iTunes, because that make sense since they all play from the main radio library.
But, otherwise, to say that all the radio stations in my playlist happened to change their own URLs at the same time, that would be a bit far fetched.
Did you get some news from Apple that this happened, one way or the other?
PS: I'm having a hard time finding a few of the stations that were in my previous, original playlist as well... some of them have either disappeared, changed categories, gone off the air or changed their names.
Thanks,
numetro -
Trying to setup airport for 1st time and it will not connect to internet?
You might try doing a reset of your AirPort unit. Use a pen or paper clip to press in on the recessed reset button while you plug it in, then continue to keep the button pressed until the status light flashes several times,
For more advice, please describe all your networking gear.
