My iPad 1 says it's connected to wifi but safari says can't open page cause not connected to the internet

Does anyone know why this is I've tried resetting but doesn't help?

Are you on a home or open network? Sometimes when you're in a hotel, for example, you may be 'on' the net but not allowed to access it until you agree to their terms.

Since updating my ipad it will no longer connect to the internet

since i've updated my software on my ipad it will no longer connect to the internet. my husbands iphone will not connect either. my laptop connects immediately and my internet signal is full strength. is there something we are missing?

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.

If you have wired Internet there are adoptions for you to add a router or airport express to build a Wi-Fi network.

Since updating to iOS 6 on my ipad i am unable to connect to the internet, itunes or the app store. I have tried many suggestions about changing the dat, logging in/out of itunes etc but nothing has worked! Please help :)

Since updating my ipad to iOS 6 a few days ago i can't seem to get onto the internet, the app store or itunes, nor can i update to iOS7!! I sent an email to apple support and they said we don't handle these issues and redirected me back to the help forums which i have already seen and tried everything other people have suggested and nothing has worked (changing date, signing in/out of itunes etc). When i go to app store the screen is blank, in itunes it just keeps saying loading but never gets anywhere and same with the internet! When i go to settings to update to iOS 7.0.4 it says software update unavailable, try again later. Not sure what to do now. Nothing works, can't use my apps, facebook, music etc. Will contact apple again and try get some answers. But thanks for any info

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

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

What does an ipad need in order to connect to the internet?

I have an an wireless internet router at home from Verzon. Can my ipad connect to the internet using that or does it need something else? What is the wifi+3G data plan? I really don't get this wifi and wifi+3G thing. Can u explain it to me?

Nope. You should be good. Any iPad can connect to almost any WiFi network.
WiFi is the wireless network created by wireless routers or base stations.
All iPads support wifi.
3G is the ability to get internet over cell towers. Like a cell phone, only data.
The 3G data plan allows you to get data from the provider, in the US it's ATT and Verizon.

My Ipad (3rd Gen) has stopped connecting to the internet via Wifi - please help

Ipad will not connect to home wifi network, first I get the error message "safari could not open the page becasue the server stopped working" then after about 5 minutes, Safari cannot open the page.......because your iPad is not connected to the Internet.
Wifi is working (able to connect through Laptop) however, iPad, iPhone and my old iPod Touch all show the same error message.
Have turned iPad Wifi off and back on, nothing, have also tried "forget network", "renew lease" and "reset network settings"I have also completed soft reset of iPad (held down Home Screen button and stand by button) No improvement.
I have turned wireless router off, I have also disabled security on router to see if this is an issue and still get the same message.
Untill 48 hours ago never had a problem..........help greatly appreciated

Is there a way I can store presentations on a mac to stream to apple tv and control from an iPad without storing presentation on iPad at any time or connecting to the internet; i.e. just through local wifi network?

I am looking at setting up a Local Wifi Network using a Mac and Airport Extreme.
I wish to store presentations on the Mac.
I wish to teach from the presentations through Apple TVs in my classrooms using IPad to control presentation, annotate etc
I don't want to have to upload presentation to iPad from Mac as this will be in server room.
I don't want to access internet so iCloud Drive is out of the question.
What options do I have?
Many thanks
Dave

You would need to find an app that lets you remotely access the Mac (e.g. Logmein). You would need to be aware of how much the network can handle.

My iPad will connect to the Internet but my iMac keeps dropping the connection or connects very slow.

My iPad is working fine and connecting to the internet no problem. My iMac computer, when I check the system preferences and I go into network it says my network is working fine and I appear to be connected to the Internet, yet when I going try to go on safari it won't let me connect to the Internet or if it does the connection is slow. When I do manage to connect to the internet, the connection drops quickly. What do I do?

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can.
Are all network applications slow, or only some? If only some, which ones?
Is networking always slow, or only sometimes?
Disconnect all other devices from the network. Any change?
If you can connect to more than one network, are they all slow?
If possible, connect to your router with an Ethernet cable and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
Boot in safe mode and test. Any difference?

My ipad2 appears to be connected to the internet, but I cannot connect..I keep getting Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet....I restarted the router and the ipad still no connection...my service is working properly

My ipad 2 appears to be connected to the internet(all bars are up in the left hand corner).....yet I cannot connect to the internet(Safari cannot connect open the page because it is not connected to the internet)
I unplugged my router for 30 seconds and restarted my ipad...still nothing
I really don't think it is my service because my laptop works fine...as I am using the internet right now
I only had this ipad for 2 days
Are there any suggestions that can help solve this problem?

Usually it's because you are not making internet connection via wifi.

My ipad will no longer connect to the internet. Everything else does.

My ipad 1 will no longer connect to the internet. Everything else does. and nothing new was done to the ipad. It's running ios 4 and was fine since the day it came out.

Emma-
In Safari, press on the Bookmarks icon and select History. Then press on Clear History at the top of that menu, and see it there is any improvement.
If not, try unplugging your WiFi router for a few seconds. Then reset the iPad's network. Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings. You will need to reconnect the iPad to WiFi.

My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet".How can I change ip address?

My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet". If this is the root of the problem,how can I change ip address?
Ipad will connect no problem to other networks.

First thing you need I think is to get your iMac connected to the Internet.
Shut down your iMac and you iPad. Then power off your router. Wait 30 seconds and power up the router.
After the router indicates that it is connected to the Internet then start up your iMac and see if it connects. If the iMac connects to the Internet then your iPad should too.
If this power up sequence doesn't work you'll have to dig into the router setup to make sure it is working properly.
