New Express cannot connect to the internet

I connected everything as descriped and ran the setup assistant, which then congratulated me with my internet acces. The point is: I'm not connected to the internet, and the Express is flashing amber. Internet works fine when connected directly to the Powerbook through ethernet cable.
When I run diagnostics I get four green lights, but "Internet" and "Server" are red.
My ISP need a static IP, but when I try to set the adress (and the subnet and DNS Server) in the Airport Admin Utility, it answers, that the IP adress is not valid, or that the combination of IP, subnet and DNS are not correct.
What are the "Domain name"? Do I need to give the ISP the Airport ID or Airport Ethernet ID? And in that case, where?
Thank you for any suggestions and MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hi,
Sounds like there are a lot of people wrestling with this.
When I ordered my airport express, I figured I could use it as a secondary base station. But that didn't quite work as you'll see from this discussion thread. I have at least got to the stage where the AE is recognised on my network, but I have yet to try setting up the printer, or streaming airtunes around the house.
I think the apple documentation for this particular product needs heavy editing.

Apple Express cannot connect to the internet

Up until yesterday, my internet connection was a DSL modem connected to an Airport Extreme module. It worked fine.
Yesterday I switched from DSL to CABLE. If I plug the cable coming from the new modem into my laptop (PowerBook G4 1Ghz) I get a connection to the internet. When I plug the CABLE into my Aiport EXPRESS (APE) module and plug it in, it just blinks yellow. My laptop does receive a signal from the APE, but does not receive the internet.
After reading the discussion groups, I have tried unplugging APE pushing in the reset button and holding it it when I replug it. I allow it to blink 5 times before letting go. This results in a solid yellow light, followed by a brief solid green light, followed by the blinking yellow light.
I have updated the APE software and I have gone through the steps of using the APE Steup Assistant. Still APE cannot establish a connection to the internet. When I go to Internet Connect and click on the Summary button it says “connected to apple network” “connected to internet via ethernet”. Yet, the yellow light continues to blink.
The cable modem is also the modem for the telephone lines (Comcast). I unplugged the modem but it must have a battery back-up built in because it stays on.
What is the problem here? Any suggestions?

To setup AirPort for WiFi connectivity:
System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
- Verify that an AirPort option exists. If it does not, click "New" to create one. (Note: If you are unable to create an AirPort configuration, the AirPort card in your computer either doesn't exist or it is not recognized.)
- Verify that AirPort is "On" (checked)
- Verify that AirPort is at the top of the list. If it isn't, you can drag it to the top.
Systems Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort
AirPort tab
- By default, join: Automatic

My new imac cannot connect to the Internet sometimes. What is the cause?

Sometimes after I play league of legends, the iMac could not connect to the Internet anymore. Only restarting would solve he problem. What are the possible reasons for such problem?

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership. If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you also have 14 days from the date of delivery in which toexchange or return it for a refund.

I have downloaded the new update for Firefox 3.6 and now cannot connect to the internet. I've checked my firewall and have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, but nothing works.

After installing the new update for Firefox 3.6, no matter what I do, I cannot connect to the internet using Firefox. I can get on the internet using my other browsers (Google Chrome and Internet Explorer), so Firefox is the only one that doesn't work. I have already checked my firewall and have added and removed Firefox from my firewall to no avail. I've also already uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but so far it hasn't helped.

I have already tried removing firefox from my firewall. Even when I do that, my firewall doesn't detect firefox and prompt me to add it. And when I manually add it, it still doesn't work anyways. I've already tried the link as well, but it has been unhelpful. :/
I'm not sure if it matters, but a few weeks before this, I did download Microsoft Security Essentials.

I cannot connect to the internet after switching providers. I've changed the email address associated with the new account but am sure there is something else I need to change. Can anyone help me?

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.

Cannot Connect to the Internet ?

So I am a new iPad user
very new 3 weeks
It started this morning when I downloaded updates to some of my apps - I then sync'd it with my itunes on my windows vista pc...then i noticed that the iPad screen looked really heavily pixelated in some of the apps, that weren't normally pixelly
I tried restoring my settings on the iPad only, this did not delete my apps or data
then it asked me for my wifi password again, which I put in
I then tried to access the internet on safari, and through various other apps, I get the error message, "cannot connect to the internet"
I tried syncing it again this evening, and still nothing
I am not sure what to do....

Have your:
- Reset your iPad:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset network settings:
Settings>General>Reset Network Settings
- Powering off and then back on your iPad.

I have a Power PC G4 which is running on OSX 10.5.8, it has the AirPort utility but cannot connect to the internet as my iMac can, I think I might need an AirPort Card? Is that the case or do I need something different to connect to a wireless modem?

I have a Power PC G4 which is running on OSX 10.5.8, it has the AirPort utility but cannot connect to the internet as my iMac can, I think I might need an AirPort Card? Is that the case or do I need something different to connect to a wireless modem?

Welcome!
Only one variant of the PowerMac G4 could use the faster Airport Extreme Card. The rest used the original Airport card that is pretty slow.
To get fast wireless without buying more than one thing, consider this:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Edimax/EW7722IN/
It goes in an available PCI slot
There are USB solutions also. However, all PowerMac G4 towers had only slower USB 1.1 ports, so any USB wireless adaptor can only run at about wireless 'B" speeds (slow) unless you also install a PCI USB 2.0 adaptor card. Doing that would allow a USB wireless adaptor to run at its maximum rated speed. These items working together would accomplish that:
USB wireless "dongle:"
Newer Technology MAXPower 802.11n/g/b USB Adapter + Plug and play direct or with extension cradle
USB PCI adaptor:
http://eshop.macsales.com/Search/Search.cfm?Ntk=Primary&Ns=P_Popularity%7c1&Ne=5 000&N=7069&Ntt=USB+PCI
Each approach has its advantages. The PCI wireless card is a one-piece solution that takes up no desk space. The USB2 card+USB2 Dongle gives you more fast ports for transferring date from other external USB devices (primarily cameras and external hard drives) at hugely faster rates than can the original ports. I have a USB 2 PCI card in my G4 tower strictly for transferring images from my digital SLR camera in a timely manner.

but i want to connect the first 4S with carrier TATA DOCOMO GSM but its not working with the same USB feature????
plz reply asap...!!!
thnxxx in advance!!!

If not this:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
Also heating sometimes works. See:
Why can't I select my wifi settings?
A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Then:
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? See other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
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 your 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
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Your Apple TV is connected to your wi fi network but cannot connect to the internet. Airplay logo not available on ipad3, iPod touch3g and showing intermittently in iTunes on windows laptop. Switched ISP a few days ago. Entered pass key info on all.

I switched ISP a few days ago and had problems with airplay since. After restarting and reinstalling and updating, re entering pass keys for new wi fi on everything, Apple TV shows: Your Apple TV is connected to your wi fi network but cannot connect to the Internet. Ipad3 and iPod touch 3G have no airplay icon or get one briefly then it disappears again. Same with itunes on windows laptop.
Can anyone help?
Bob

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

Just received my T530 and cannot connect to the internet

I just recieved my T530 laptop on Friday, 8/26. Right out of the box, I am unable to connect and sustain any internet connection. I have my other PC tried on two different wireless routers and it works fine. It is not the routers that is the issue.
My computer says I am connected to the internet but I cannot browse. I have enabled the Intel connection under properties. The drivers are all up to date. I have restored the system to factory settings because a Lenovo tech support rep said the Windows update was messing new laptops up.
All of this and I still cannot connect to the internet. I am a wits end. What do I have to do to get this working? Also, how do I return the laptop for a refund?
Thanks!

ladiel,
Typically support will ship a box overnight to you for you to send the system in, and in most cases repairs at the depot are 1-2 days and then it will be shipped back to you overnight.
If you wish to return, you will need to call sales, and let them know you had a defective system and provide the service case number (where you called support to verify your trouble)
I appreciate your time urgency on this.

AirPort does not have an IP address and cannot connect to the Internet.

Wi Fi problems
I have recently changed from a old netgear router to using a vigor 120 modem with airport extreme
Internet connection is established but my airport express reports "AirPort does not have an IP address and cannot connect to the Internet." although status is ON and the correct wifi address appears.
My iPhone also identifies the correct network but cannot connect
Any suggestions?

I don't have any phones, so not aware of the options, but on a Mac to fix this problem it'd likely be...
Instead of joining it from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed. Before I went through network diagnostics and all of that stuff in system preferences, and then I tried the "Join Other Network" method, and now it works like a dream.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17028445#17028445
Or...
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

Some programms cannot connect to the internet

Hi!
I have recently bought a new laptop with windows 8,1. Some of the programms that i mainly download from the internet and not from the store say that cannot connect to the internet. But i have internet... and all the other programms works correctly. I tried
to switch off windows firewall and windows defender but the problem is the same. So what can i do about that?

Some of the programms that i mainly download from the internet and not from the store say that
cannot connect to the internet.
Often that is just a misleading interpretation of "cannot do a DNS lookup fast enough to suit the program that wants one done" and further that the network topology is probably such that the program thinks it is on a LAN and therefore expecting
LAN level response time (e.g. you have it connected to a router with a local address for your DNS server.)
A workaround for such a scenario is making sure that the dnscache contains the full lookup that the program wants. E.g. you can use ipconfig /flushdns then ping -n 1 -w 1 <problem hostname> then ipconfig /displaydns to see how much
time you have to use it (e.g. look at the Time To Live values, which are given as seconds before the entry will be removed from the dnscache.)
Good luck

Bonjour / "Cannot connect to the internet" - Adobe Clueless!!!

Since we have upgraded to win7 I have one problem that keeps popping up. When windows is restarted the NIC "Cannot connect to the internet". Easy fix, disable and enable the nic all is well, except it must be done every time win is started.
I have spent hours googling and trying to repair this.
Finally have determined it is ADOBE once again!
They install some CRapple software called Bonjour as a service.
However adobe is not smart enough to install it properly, they call it:
##Id_String2.6844F930_1628_4223_B5CC_5BB94B879762##
Hmmm now that I think about it, in XP it is probably the called running process with NO NAME!
They do not ask to install it, they provide no way to uninstall it.
But on each of our machines stopping and disabling this service and deleting the Bonjour folder and like magic...
Network now connects automatically to the internet.
How much are we paying adobe to pull these moron stunts on us?
How much did the troubleshooting of this adobe bonehead stunt cost us (and I assume many others)!!!
They have made Reader a liitle less viral, but it is still a real pain as a plugin and often times it just hangs for no reason.
And this new (arm?) plugin used for the cool image display that google used to ruin their product...and crash browsers...
I just KNOW it is more adobe moronism...
Sure hope google listens and maybe MOZ will ban adobe for being so clueless!!!!
The funny thing is Bonjour is referred to as " zero-configuration networking" ;-) LMAO

Not long ago Adobe retired at least some of the servers that were involved in supporting Photoshop CS2. I don't know whether that may be the root cause of what you're seeing, but I suspect it might be. They have provided a "standalone" version of Photoshop CS2, complete with all updates, for folks who have Photoshop CS2 licenses:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
Since Adobe is no longer releasing updates for old versions, such as CS2, it's prudent to disable the software that runs in the background incessantly checking for updates that will never come. This will free up resources on your system for real work. Experience has shown it's possible to disable nearly all the software installed by Adobe to run in the background and still run Photoshop quite successfully.
I recommend downloading a free program published by a Microsoft employee called Autoruns for reviewing all the software (not just Adobe) that you have starting and running on your Windows system. Such software is the prime reason Windows systems seem to "bog down" over time. The Autoruns program allows you to disable particular modules you determine you don't need simply by clearing a checkbox, and it retains the information that you have done so by keeping the program in the list, just unchecked.

My PC can connect to the airport extreme but with encryption it cannot connect to the internet my iMac has no issues, any help.

My PC can connect to the new airport extreme I just purchased but with encryption it cannot connect to the internet my iMac has no issues. If I open the airport exteme up and provide no security everything is fine which leads me to believe it is something with the encryption between the two devices. Not sure what step I'm missing here this shouldn't be this difficult.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I am asking if the DNS IP addresses, not the IP addresses assigned by the DHCP service, are the same. DNS is like the Internet's version of the Yellow Pages. Your ISP typically will provide them to you or you can elect to use those provided by another source, like OpenDNS.
DNS is the service that translates a website's URL to its actual IP address so that you can access it. I am just trying to rule out that the PC is not configured properly with the correct DNS IP information.
The other thing to check is if the PC is configured to use a Proxy service. By default, it would not be.
Finally, what is the make & model of the PC. More importantly, if the PC is using either a PCI or USB wireless adapter, what is its make & model?
