My safari won't connect to the Internet as it says server stopped responding

Hi, everytime I try to go on Internet through safari, it won't open the page, the error message is, safari cannot connect as server stopped responding. My ipad has been updated from io6 to io6.1. Internet connects fine through google chrome app.

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

Safari won't connect to the internet?

Hi all
Safari won't connect to the internet. My Itunes store works fine, and i can update my software without any problems.
Anyone have a sollution?
Thanks!

I open Safari => Top sites open ==> i click on a site ==> Safari says " Safari can't open the page "http://www.youtube.com/" because Safari can't connect to the server "www.youtube.com".
This message is not a popup, its a text in the Safari page like "no internet" or something.
Itunes store works fine :s
Thanks

HT4628 My Mac Air OSX10.8.5 won't connect to the internet as it says it has a self assigned IP address and thus cannot connect to the internet. I can only connect to a network by manually typing in the configuration specs. Please help.

My mac air OSX10.8.5 won't connect to the internet. It says it has a 'self assigned IP address and therefore cannot connect to the internet'. Network diagnostics is unable to the solve the problem. It happened suddenly for no reason and now I cannot connect except by typing in the configuration settings manually. Please help me!

Use the Airport Utility or log into your wireless device via http and ensure the DHCP/NAT service is enabled. If accessing via HTTP, you will need to manually set an ip within your local subnet (eg: 192.168.0.x).

Safari won't connect to the internet (but computer is)

Today,
None of our Macintosh (by Apple) devices will connect to the internet. Actually, only Safari says it won't connect to the internet.
If I run Terminal on our Macbook, I can ping yahoo.com, google.com, etc... Also, Skype works just fine. However, when we run Safari, no web page will load and we get the error screen saying that the computer is not connected to the internet. Running diagnostics (forget where it's located on the computer) says we are indeed connected (which I could tell from Skype and pinging).
Coincidentally, neither our iPhone or iPod can get to any web pages on Safari when connected to our wireless router. Using 3g network they access web pages fine. Our PC has no internet troubles today whatsoever.
Any idea why Safari doesn't work? Unfortunatley we don't have Firefox or Chrome on our Macbook to test it out, not sure how to download those without being able to access their respective web pages.
Thanks!

Try turning off the router for 5 minutes, then turn it back on.
Restart your Mac as well as the iPhone and iPod.
If that doesn't help, on the Mac, go to /Library/Preferences/System Configuration
Move all the files from the System Configuration folder to the Trash.
Now on your iPhone and iPod tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings
See if Safari will load pages.
If not, on your Mac, go to System Prerferences - Security.
If the Firewall is turned on, turn that off. Restart your Mac, Try Safari again.
Since you can access the net with 3G, it's got to be your Wi-Fi.
System Preferences / Network / Assist Me is where you find Diagnostics.
Make sure all the light are green. If not, click Continue.

We use an Airport Extreme in my office, which works fine for me. Occasionally we need to have more than one computer running on it, but for some reason it won't connect to the internet. It says we have internet, but won't connect to wifi. What's going on?

I use my computer everyday in our office and have no issue connecting to the internet/wifi, but when my boss comes in and tries to connect it doesn't work. It tells her she has internet, but won't connect to the wifi. We've tried a few different tactics(the basic ones I've seen on here), but nothing seems to be working for us. My computer automatically connects to our wifi.
Just recently the Airport Extreme has started with the blinking amber colored light on the front, which I believe means something is wrong? Can anyone help us figure out what's going on and why we can't get my boss' computer to connect as it should?
Thank you!

Here's an update:
Now the light is not blinking. It's a solid, consistant green. I don't know if it helps to narrow it down or anything, but I just figured I'd mention it.

TS3408 Safari on my new iPad mini isn't working - says server stopped responding but no problem accessing the web with my old iPod touch. What's going on?

All other apps were working. We fixed it by reverting to factory settings and starting over. Thank you!

My iPod 8GB won't connect to the internet.

My iPod won't connect to the internet. It says I'm connected to my Wi-Fi connection, but when I try go on Safari it says I'm not connected to the internet. I resetted my iPod and my modem but it didn't help. I tried everything to get it working, but nothing seems to work. Help please?!

Assuming other devices successfully connect to the internet via wifi:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing is lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Resset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

Hi, my ipod (2nd gen) won't connect to the internet via Safari or through apps but my email does work. Any ideas without needing to reset the ipod?

- Have you tried when connected to other networks? Maybe the router is blocking the ports used by Safari and the other apps.
- What kind of network are you using? a personel or bussines?

MacBook Pro won't connect to the internet after standby

Hallo all,
I have the following strange problem with my macbook pro:
- after going in stand by and returning in operating mode the mac won't connect to the internet, I have to follow the procedure in order to retry to connect but It does'not work. Go in network preferences, try to change the DNS, use and not use DHCP and so on but nothing change.
- Mac is working in ethernet, I can see other macs and pcs
- When I change the network to connect, same problem even if I turn off the mac.
I have the same problem with Iphone !!!!
I have linksys router and modem but I think that the reason could be a setting in mac.
Anyone can help me???

I tried re-installing Mountain Lion 10.8.3 but it didn´t help.
Assuming your can access email ok ?
First, install the OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo)
Then restart your Mac. That will reinstall any missing system files.
Then try Safari.

Safari no longer connects to the internet

I upgraded to OS Yosemite in my iMac (must be approaching 4 years old) and everything has been working fine. Had a couple of applications where they closed unexpectedly, but nothing major and things have continued as they always have. Apps have also automatically updated. As of today, Safari will no longer connect to the internet and I keep getting the classic "the server unexpectedly dropped the connection" blurb and I kept being told that a disk that I hadn't put in the machine is not being recognized.
I'm typing this on my MacBook Air so I know that Safari can work fine (also having no problem with my iPad or iPhone) and there is no issue with my ISP' modem (I'm with Virgin Media), connector or Netgear wireless router. Tonight I have performed a recovery install and now I have this annoying message saying how I need a particular Java plugin, which I can't sort out because Safari can't connect to the internet. I have also performed a router reset, without remedy.
Logically, as I see it, the issue lies with Safari, and due to it being the only internet access on my iMac, I can't even download Firefox or access the App Store so looks like I can't update. A friend is also having the same issues with his iPad, so I know this isn't just my iMac
Looking for some answers here? Anyone?
Thanks

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

My iPhone 5 won't connect to the Internet.

I have a factory unlocked iPhone 5, and I had my regular-sized SIM cut to fit the iPhone 5, since the nano SIM is not available yet in my country (Venezuela). The SIM works, I get messages, calls, etc. But it won't connect to the internet unless I'm on wi-fi. I've tried in different places, with full 3G signal, but it doesn't work. The weird thing about this is that I get Whatsapp messages (and I can send them as well), I get notifications from Instagram and Twitter, but it won't let me, say, enter my Twitter profile, or load Instagram pictures. It won't load any kind of internet content, neither with Safari nor Chrome.
The phone (or rather iOS 6) doesn't seem to have any option to edit the APN, so I researched a bit and found the iPhone Configuration Utility. I used it a couple of months before with an iPhone 3G to set an APN and it worked. Only this time, it wouldn't let me create and install a new profile on the iPhone 5. It would let me install the old profile I had for the Iphone 3G, which had the same APN settings I was trying to use now (both from the same carrier) but it didn't fix the internet issue. I also tried the Unlockit method, but it didn't work either.
What bothers me is that I've seen in a few websites screencaps of the Mobile Data screen, and it shows an option to configurate the APN settings in the phone itself, but mine's missing it.
I'd really appreciate if you could help me out, or at least give me a hint of what could be causing this. I've tried almost everything, and I've read a lot of posts here, but I haven't found anything useful. Thanks in advance.

In addition to what ChrisJ4203 said about cellular data, check your carriers website, it may need you to enter APN settings to allow internet access over cellular.
Also does normal telephone calling & SMS work? Disable wifi to avoid using iMessage as a test. If the SIM is damaged or blocked etc it may not work with cellular data, does the phone give you any error messages when powering on?
Another thing to try is to back up to iTunes & check for updates to iOS - sometimes a carrier update can restore the cellular network settings.

My ipod's apps won't connect to the internet.

the apps on my ipod touch 5 won't connect to the internet anymore, even apps from apple like the appstore. only safari works, but with some sites it says there is no safe connection(like with twitter). but it does work with google
how can i get rid of this problem?
my ipod runs 7.0.2 and i checked for software updates, there were none. i also checked for app updates but as i said the app store doesn't connect with the internet either.

Does it have this problem wehn connect to another network?
Did the iOS device connect OK before to this network?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
look at the setting for the fouter, mayne those sites are being blocked.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My brand new iMac won't connect to the internet - the Air is fine?

Hi All,
Loved my Air so much I bought an Imac today to do some serious work - but it won't connect to the internet. It won't load any external webpages, the wireless symbol in the menu bar is at full strength and in settings it says its connected to the modem. Its also finally recognising local time. It can also 'see' my Macbook Air in the 'Migration Assistant' but doesn't connect. The Air can't find the Imac in the 'migration assistant' and just spins. I've rebooted the modem, turned both on and off, checked Safari settings eg extensions (none loaded - its new today).
Essentially I've not been able to view a webpage with the new Imac at all - very frustrating and disappointing. (The Air was a breeze to set up).
I'm not very technical so does anyone have any suggestions? Or do I just return it? TIA.

My MacBook Pro won't connect to the Internet, but my phone and PC will.

My MacBook Pro won't connect to the Internet. My iPhone has no problem doing so, and neither does my PC. I think it's something to do with my DNS, but I'm not sure. My network connections say that both my Ethernet or FireWire are failed. What's wrong with my MacBook? Is there a simple way to fix this?
