New iPad having trouble connecting to Internet via Wifi.

I have had all 3 iPads and I got the new one on Friday, however starting today I have had a lot of trouble connecting to the Internet via Wifi. I could not connect at home nor at school where I have had no problems before with my previous iPads, and all my friends are having not having any problems connecting to the Internet with their iPad 2's. Is there something wrong with the new iPads?
I have a 3rd generations iPad 16GB Wifi only.

Then you may have a defective iPad If you can show it to an Apple Store Genius, you may get a replacement if the Genius can not fix it.
If there is no Apple Store near you, look for an Apple Authorized Repair Center. There may be one in your city. <Apple Authorized Repair Centers>
To continue on your own, take a look at <Troubleshooting WiFi Networks and Connections>.

My macbook pro cannot connect to internet via wifi

I have a Macbook Pro 2010 OS X 10.8.3. I cannot connect to internet via wifi (Air por). My Macbook Pro does not recognize my network and when I select it from the list of network it asks for my network password. when I type in my password a dialog box gives me timeout error. Please could anyone help me. I am using ethernet for my connection at the moment. Do I need to reset my macbookpro? if yes, what will happen to my applications and operating system (mountain lion)?

When you use the Airport utility what happens?
What is in the System Preferences control panel for Network settings?

Wi-Fi Setup Considerations
Things to consider before you begin
Start with a plan for the physical layout. Depending on whether you have an existing Wi-Fi network, or if you are using your AirPort Express as a standalone Wi-Fi device, there are several options available for you to choose from.
When using Ethernet, Cat6 cable is recommended.
The layout you choose should take into account environmental factors such as physical access, location, range, radio frequency interference, etc.
You will need to consider what AirPort Utility settings to adopt.
You will need to know whether you are using an AirPort Express (802.11b/g) or an AirPort Express (802.11a/b/g/n).
If you will be using more than one Wi-Fi base station, it may be helpful to read the article Extending the range of your wireless network by adding additional Wi-Fi base stations.

Virus??? computer having trouble connecting to internet

Last week, my son's school computer got a virus, and sent me about 50 copies of the same email message. Since then, things have not been working properly on my macbook. Safari is telling me it can't connect to the internet, even though the network diagnostic tool tells me there is no problem. Mail is having trouble connecting too, and my idisk is suddenly inaccessible. I wanted to restore to a previously saved backup of my personal settings that I have been saving to my idisk but backup said it couldn't connect to the idisk. Backup also gave me a scary message when I had no choice but to abort the "restore".
I've seen lots of messages here claiming that there are no mac viruses, but if that is the case, what could be going on here? I already rebooted several times, and repaired permissions on the hard drive. any other suggestions???

Hey, Mort, thanks. I did find clamxav last night on the web and left it running this morning (I'm at work now.) So we'll see what it has or has not found when I get home later. It didn't allow me to just run the software on my whole hard drive, though, I had to choose folders. I chose the system and library. Do you have any other ideas about where the virus (if it is a virus) could be living?
I'm not sure if my system has been updated. I run "software update" once a week so perhaps it has already happened. I'll check tonight.

Thinkpad Laptop X4F -Will not connect to internet via wifi

I'm not computer savvy so please keep replies dummied down if at all possible. I used this laptop last on Friday and booted it today and cannot connect to the internet via wifi. No problems whatsoever before this. Checked with other computers and devices in the house and the wireless network and internet are working fine.
Checked this laptop and wifi is on (airplane mode off), says its connected to the router (in connections) but icon in tray just scrolls and says "identifying". Using the LAN works fine. Looked at wireless card and it says device is working properly and is fully updated.
This computer is running windows 8 which I'm still having trouble navigating through.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Have you tried turning off the Wifi and then back on? Windows 8 should have that if you press the start key and typing in Wi-Fi. Click on Settings when you search and something for connections should appear. Turn off WiFi then back on to see if that helps.

There's and HP diagnostic tool downloaded on my desktop (is this hte same thing) when i run this is launches a browser which times out.

Unable to connect to internet via wifi

I have had this problem ever since I received my preordered Dinc. I can successfully connect to the internet via wifi anywhere but at my place of employment (very frustrating). The Dinc sees and connects to the wifi but when I open the browser the following pop up window appears:
“Security warning
There are problems with the security certificate for this site.
This certificate is not from a trusted authority”
I then have a choice to continue, view certificate, or cancel. When I view the certificate it states the organization, The Go Daddy Group Inc, unit, Go Daddy Class 2 Certification Authority and validity:
VZ tech support stated that they never heard of it and recommended that I call HTC.
HTC said that this is a common problem and that Go Daddy uses a variable wild card for their SSL. The conversation ended when they said that there is nothing that can be done.
I finally contacted Go Daddy who said that they need the account number without that there is nothing that they can do.
Laptops, Iphones, and other cell phones can get on the internet.
My questions to this board are:
Has anyone else had this issue?
Does anyone know of a fix?
Who is responsible for the fix VZ or HTC?
Do you think that when (ever) the OTA update to Froyo will fix this?
Thanks to all

I'd talk to your IT dept at work.

Having trouble connecting to internet

I have an original iPad using wifi to connect at home. Even though the wifi says it is connected to my home router, it is not connected to the internet and cannot download any data. I've reset the netowrk connections, and even did a complete reset. No luck. Other devices are connected to the same wifi: 2 PCs, a printer, and 2 iPhones. What could be wrong?

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 drooping 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

Trouble connecting to internet via airport

i can't connect to the internet via airport. Does anyone know what the problem may be?

There are several items that may be behind this issue.
So troubleshooting them by trial and error is most likely
a way to attempt to resolve the cause, especially with
an older OS X and hardware, while trying to connect to
a newer base station and different newer frequency...
•Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628
The above covers several areas of settings and ideas.
If the computer has been online, and now does not work
wirelessly, that may be a matter of an accidental change
in settings; or something turned off that used to be on.
A general overview, w/ examples of settings similar to the above, for 10.3.9/10.4.11 appears here: http://www.tr.txstate.edu/get-connected/computerservices/wireless/encrypted/maco sx-wpa2.html
Is you computer running OS X 10.3.9 Panther? If so,
your built-in AirPort card may be an 802.11b version
and the security protocol would not work with a newer
or modern wi-fi base station (WEP, WPA) unless those
settings were changed. You can turn off security if the
computer is too old to be able to connect with the old
settings for that protocol. Also, a later wireless base
station may not see an old wi-fi card using 802.11/b.
So it is a matter of knowing what you have on either side
of the connection issue; the base station and the wi-fi
card have to use the same frequency and security. Or
there are work-arounds to attempt to correct this matter.
Hopefully you can connect and use the wi-fi internet.
Good luck & happy computing!

New Mac User - Problem connecting to Internet via work Ethernet cable.

Hi all.
I am having problems connecting to the Internet through my work ethernet cable.
When I plug the cable in, Network settings tells me it's there and working, all of the ip numbers conform to what the IT dep say they should be, but safari won't connect to any site.
I can see the shared folders on the Exchange Server, and access the files no problem, but cannot get any connection to the internet.
Have called Apple Support and they seem to think the issue is with my work's Network which I am starting to agree with. We went through all of the settings together and they said it all looked ok. Then we tried deleting and re-installing the system configuration folder. Still no joy.
Airport works fine, (have tried it on three different routers), as long as the Ethernet cable is unplugged.
If I plug the Ethernet cable directly into a router, it works fine also.
I connect to my work network by running an ethernet cable from the wall socket to my Macbook. It's the same cable that I connect my PC with, and works fine on my PC.
Anyone come across anything similar?
My Macbook is just over a day old and running OS X 10.5.5.
Thanks

For some reason (and it's nothing to do with me) it's all working fine now.
Thanks for your help nonetheless.
Stu:-)
