My iphone 4s is connected to wifi but it won't access the internet

My iphone is running on iOS7. It says it's connected to wifi but I can't access the internet. Some apps work like mail and facebook but that's it. Everything else says theres no connectivity. When I turn it off and use 4g they work. I've tried everything from turning off the wifi to reset settings. I don't know what the problem is. Can anyone help?

I am connected to my Wifi but not able to access the internet

I am connceted to my Wifi but unable to access the internet. Please help!

Despite the WiFi connection sign you may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address when the iPad requested it. To check on this go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address shown 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 for this can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (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.

My iphone 5 says that it's connected to home wifi but I can't access the internet

We just got Comcast Xfinity internet installed and I have no idea if that's the problem (or if it's because our wifi does not require a password) but my iPhone 5 (and my boyfriend's) will connect to our home network wifi but when I try to use the internet, it gives me the message that "Safari cannot open the page because the server has stopped responding" or something to that effect. I have tried: 1) Forgetting the network and re connecting 2) Resetting network settings 3) Changing from DHCP to Static and back 4) changing the DNS number and 5) Calling AT&T Support (no luck there, either). The tech person did suggest (as weird as it sounds) that the fact that my wireless router does not have a password might be the problem and that once I password protect it, it could help. No idea.... Please help!

I figured it out! We have a modem (the new one that was given to us when we signed up with Comcast) and a wireless router. The network names on the two are different, so I called Comcast and they confirmed that the new Comcast modem puts out a wireless signal and that our network is connected to that one, not the old wireless router. So I checked to see if that network was available to connect to on my iPhone and it was! I entered the new password, forgot the old network, and it works!! Thanks for the suggestion to call Comcast!

My iPhone says its connected to wifi, but it won't let me text through iMessage

Ever since midnight or so last night I havent been able to FaceTime or iMessage anybody. I have tried to text some of my friends that have IOS devices but it keeps saying that they are unvailible even when they are. I can still surf the web and everything else but I cant FaceTime or iMessage. Can someone tell me *** is going on? It's really making me frustrated

Force the phone into recovery mode:
If you cannot turn off your phone using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When your phone turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons. Then, leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

At the very least, I recommend you restart your router, (your internet box).
More detail on your problem is needed - are you in a submarine? On the moon? On a tropical island?
You can help yourself by providing as much info as you can about your present situation - what kind of router do you have? Have you moved it? DId you update it? Did you do anything to change your setup, and if you did, what?

We bought an iphone 4s for our daughter. We transfered it to straight talk. She can make calls and text no problem. She can use the WiFi but is unable to use the internet or mms. How do we update the APN?

To clarify for anyone who is still having any problems doing this.
1. Unlock your phone with the carrier ( I know the process will work if it is jail broken but I am assuming you dont want to void the warranty on your phone) NOTE: even if you purchased the phone outright at Wal-Mart it is still locked to ATT so you will have to unlock the phone. If it's already unlocked skip to step 2. This works and will work even if you update the phone.
1a Here is the link to unlock a ATT iphone. Simply follow the instructions https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/client/en_US/
2. Get a T- mobile SIM. Even if you don't want the service, if you feign interest, they will send you one for free or 99cents. If you need it now you can get one at a T-mobile store too.
3. Once you have both your Straight talk SIM and your T-mobile SIM follow these instructions:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFFf5uqk18M
4. If you have any remaining questions look at all the responses posted previously on this thread or check out the Howard Forums Wiki: http://wiki.howardforums.com/index.php/Straight_Talk_iPhone
Everything should work flawlessly at this point. If not let me know and I'm happy to help when I can. I hope this makes doing this very easy for everyone in the future. God Bless -J

If you mean that you cannot remember the password for your WiFi network this will work for you - or it should work if you are the administrator on the Mac.
You will need to be logged in as the administrator on your Mac and you must know the password - Open Keychain Access on your Mac in the utilities folder, click on Passwords. Find the Airport Network Password listed on the right. Double click on it. Click on show password in the the window that pops up. Enter your administrator password when prompted and click allow.
If Keychain is locked - you must enter the administrator password there as well to unlock it and access the password.
If you have set the Mac up for Internet Sharing for the iPad to share the Mac's connection, just create a new network On the Mac with Internet sharing and a new password.

After login but before I can access the internet I get a request for my login password so that - aosnotifyd - can access my login key chain. How can I get it to remember my password?

Rephrase your question. Do you mean you keep getting login key chain errors?

Wifi connected but not able to access the internet

I was able to connect to the wifi, but can not access the internet. It shows the blue bars, but for example, I can't log into facebook. My laptop, my blackberry are all connected but I can't get the ipod to work. I have removed and reinstalled the network connections, and even adjusted the ip address, to no avail.

I am not having problems at home, works fine with my home network. In Starbucks or the Airport I can't exactly go change their router settings. I think Apple has a problem here that they need to fix. There is no reason why the Ipod Itouch WiFi settings have to be so difficult, cranky. It shoul dbe able to work more easily.

TS1398 I have connected my iPad 2 to my Mac Air over blue tooth. Booth say they are connected to each other. But I can not access the internet on the IPAD. I can connect over blue tooth from my iPhone to my iPad with no issue. Any thoughts? Thank you

I am trying to connect my Ipad 2 to my Mac Air over bluetooth.
I can connect them to each other, and both machines say they are connected over bluetooth.
However I can not access the internet on the Ipad...says it is not connected to the internet.
Does anyone know if you can fix this?
THank you

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,

IPAD 2 WiFi only. Can I access the Internet when I plug into my computer that is connected to a LAN?

I just purchased an IPAD2 and I love it. It's WIFI only, and I want to access the Internet when I plug in to my computer since I don't have 3G capability. But when I try and connect it won't allow. Is this standard? Am I preventing from high speed internet access on my IPAD 2 even when my computer is connected to the Internet? Any help would be much appreciated

You cannot access the internet through the connection to a computer hooked up to the internet.
It may be possible to configure your PC as a WiFi access point. Check your PC documentation for its capabilities.
Or, purchase a WiFi router and hook it up to your ISP modem. You can hardwire your PC to the modem.
Good WiFi routers can be purchased for $30-$40 dollars if you shop around.
