My iPad 2 is connected to wireless, but safari says it's not connected to the internet

My wife went on a trip and took our iPad 2 with her. While she was gone, I had to replace our wireless router (we use AT&T U-Verse). Wireless works fine on my iMac and on my iPhone 4, but not on the iPad. I've put in the correct wireless information (Settings says it's connected to the wireless), but I can't connect to the internet. I've tried updating the software, as well as rebooting my iPad. Suggestions????

Here are several things that you can try that might help.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Check Settings>General>Date &Time>Set Automatically>On.
Reset your router by unplugging it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again.

Ethernet is 'connected' BUT safari says 'you are not connected'...?

Hello, I am baffled. I am helping my Mum and Dad's to set up their new iMac. All OK bar the connection to the Internet.
They have a new Broadband account with the ISP 'Talk Talk' (I know they are not necessariliy the best!). It is a DSL connection and I am using the 'Built in Ethernet' as the link to the Ethernet port of the SmartAX 882 Modem, as supplied by the ISP. In networking the Built in Ethernet is showing blue - "you are connected to the internet", Yet when I load Safari it does not connect and the page "your computer is not connected to the internet" comes up after a couple of minutes.
The modem 'link' light is steady green and the LAN light shows solid amber. I have added and saved the settings in the modem many times. The ISP support folks have said that the link light should go solid amber though this does not happen. I have rebboted and reconnected all the kit many times - still no joy.
So, any idea where the problem may be? is it the modem settings? is it the network settings?
PS: I have tried typing in the IP adress of a web page (e.g. http://17.254.70.0.91 etc..) to check whether there is a problem with DNS server settings, though no page loads.
Many thanks folks - any help on this would be appreciated.

Hi iGraham!
I have no familiarity with that setup, but the problem sounds similar to some who use the wrong port on the router.
Perhaps you can find a specific answer to your problem in this forum
edit-
An alternative resolution to using a different router port would be to setup the Network panel of System Preferences with a LAN configuration instead of with an Ethernet configuration. After clicking on the "Assist me..." button, instead of clicking on the "Diagnostics..." button, click on the blue "Assistant..." button and then choose a LAN connection rather than ethernet. The result will be that you will end up with an entirely new "Location" rather than just another edit of your current "Location" - then to change from one "location" to another switch the "Location:" selector and hit the "Apply Now" button to avoid making unnecessary edits. Once you've switched the location and "applied" it, you'll see that your other settings are different than the ones necessary to make your original "Location" work.

I am connected to wifi but it says i'm not connected?????

I can't connect to wifi even though i put in the network and password and looks like it should be connected but it says not connected.......works on my coworkers with android but my co workers who have iphone we are all having the same issue

You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPod a valid local network IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

I have my IPod Touch connected via USB but it says it's not connected to my computer

I have my IPod Touch connected VIA USB port but a message tells me it's not connected to my computer so I can't get mail, etc. What do I have to do to remedy this?
Thank you.

What is the exact wording of the error message?
What are you trying to do?
The USB connection provides not internet connectivity. The iPod can only connect to the internet via wifi

HT4623 My Mac & iPad recognizes my wifi but the Safari says I'm not connected to the internet why

My Mac & ipad both reconizes my wifi but when I tried to get on the internet, Safari says I'm not connected, why?

This may be on the carrier-side of the problem. Contact your 3G provider to see if they have a solution to this situation.

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Safari5.1.8 drops off line, but airport stays connected, but window says you are not connected to internet?

i am trying to sync iphone 5 to itunes but it says "iTunes could not connect to the iphone as an error occured while reading from the device " and the iphone is not seen on itunes........

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. And then reboot your computer.
See if that fixes your problem.

I am trying to install windows on my mac via bootcamp, and it says I need to download Windows Support Software. I tried, but it says "Download can not continue. The Windows Support Software is not available.

I am running OSX 10.6.8 Snow lepard I am trying to install windows on my intel imac 20in late 2006 via bootcamp, and it says I need to download Windows Support Software. I tried, but it says "Download can not continue. The Windows Support Software is not available. I bought the Imac secend hand and did not get the install dvd's with it What can I do?

You don't need to download the Windows support software, because in Snow Leopard, they are only available as a download for the Late 2010 MacBook Air.
Instead, you have to buy Mac OS X Snow Leopard. The Snow Leopard disc contains the Windows drivers for your Mac, so you have to install them after finishing the Windows installation

Place the iPod in Recovery mode and then restore.

Connected to network but Safari says not connected

Just had to reinstall OS X and upgraded to 10.4.11
I connect to my FIOS network using Airport, and am having no problems. However, when I attempt to open Safari it says I am not connected to the Internet.
I run diagnostics and the following happens:
it lets me get all the way to selecting an airport network, then does a scan--says it's looking for PPPoE host, unable to find. Tells me to check network settings.
I have tried restarting the Actiontec router with no results. what gives?

I think my son's apt bldg uses FIOS and as I recall he is also PPoE, so PPoE may not be as uncommon as we think, for FIOS.
You should have gotten a letter from your ISP that said what your username and password for your account with the ISP is, to setup for PPoE, whether you are static or DHCP external WAN IP address assignment, etc. Do you still have that letter?
You're not connecting to your computer via ethernet cable directly to your ActionTec right now, correct? You're going wirelessly? If that's the case, can you reconfigure your hardware to connect to your ActionTec via ethernet cable? (Don't forget to change your computer's system prefs network stuff from airport to ethernet DHCP.) And if so, I know you've done so gazillions of times already but if you haven't done so (lately?) while tethered via ethernet cable, try rebooting your router and your computer one more time. I'm trying to figure out whether its a wireless thing, e.g., maybe the wireless isn't turned on in the ActionTec or has MAC authentication enabled and your computer's Airport card's MAC address isn't on the list, or the wireless channel encryption password or algortithm is mismatched, or... So, if we can get in via ethernet cable, we can start rummaging around in your computer's network settings and in your ActionTec's configuration pages.
By the way, how are you posting on this forum? Different computer same network? Or different computer different network?

Safari says I'm not connected to Internet-Airport says I am w/good signal

I've moved. I am using AT&T DSL as Internet Service Provider. My PC/Base station is running VIsta Home. The Base station router is LINKSYS Wireless-G Microsoft Broadband. It's all interfaced beautifully before with my iMac and MacBook Pro.
Since the move, However, I've had a problem. The "Internet Connect" on my MacBook Pro shows I am connected to Linksys. The signal strength has all bars lighted blue. The tool bar "fan" has also bars black. However, when I click on Safari the display reads 'Safari cannot open the page because you are not connected to the internet." The PC Base station (from which I am writing this note)is on the Internet using the AT&T DSL connection, and apparently the MacBook Pro reads the wireless signal, too. Never had this happen before to any wifi signal with my MacBook Pro...any ideas what is causing the conflicting reports? Thanks.

Hi, a few ideas...
Go to System Preferences
Click Network
Highlight AirPort and click Configure...
Choose “By default, join: Preferred networks”
Select your access point and Remove your access point with the minus button.
Launch your keychain access in Utilities and delete your access point keychain entry.
Reboot
Go back to the “By default, join:” page and click the plus this time to add your access point. Enter the correct password, save, reboot.
Open System Preferences>Network>Configure>Proxies Tab, make sure none are set, like for HTTP & HTTPS.
Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106653
Another thing that has worked for many is to just copy/duplicate that Location in Network>Location>Edit Locations..., then use that one.
The Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON.
Then... Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply
DNS Servers are a bit like Phone books where you look up a name and it gives you the phone number, in our case, you put in apple.com and it comes back with 17.149.160.49 behind the scenes.
These Servers have been patched to guard against DNS poisoning, and are faster/more reliable than most ISP's DNS Servers.

My Apple TV is connected to my wifi but it says I am not connected to the internet. How do I connect it to the internet?

My Apple TV is connected to wifi. However it says I am not connected to the internet. How do I fix this.

likely in the settings of your wifi router
you can troubleshoot by trying to connect it by an ethernet cable to see if that works for you before
you get deep in trying to make your wifi router behave

IPad connected to wireless but Safari wont open

So I have the original iPad. Just bought about 2 weeks ago. Having a problem on my work wireless where is says it is connected but it will not open Safari or any apps that require internet access. This problem comes and goes. The wireless will work in the morning and then stop halfway through the day. My iphone is connected to the same wirless at work and has no problems at all ever. I have tried hard re-set, resetting network settings, shutting it on and on, turning off wireless and turning it back on and still wont work. The IP address is a 169. address and I have read online that this is the problem. Is there any way to fix this without just returning the thing? All the software is up to date. Gets absoultely annoying that it works on some free wireless networks and not others. Any help would be appreciated.

Its a huge company and I really dont want to bother them with an iPad issue. I just find it strange that my iphone connects perfectly fine 100% of the time to the wireless but the iPad does not.
I cant re-set any modems/routers here at work. I have tried the Power/Home button shut down and that does nothing as well. I really dont want to re-set the factory settings on the ipad and lose everything on there. Not sure what to do.
I also had this problem several times on vacation this past weekend where it would say it was connected to the internet but would not work. Iphone worked fine. Think I may just have to take it back.
