New macbook, airport says connected but browser not working

Hi,
Just got a new macbook.When I connect to the internet the airport says it's connected to the network, but my browser won't work like it isn't connected.I have connected a few times,so I know it does work, but now it won't work at all.
Don't know what to do!

Having an internal IP address is essential.
Go to System Preferences>Network and note the color of the "Dot" to the left of Airport. Red=No connection, Yellow=connected but no IP, and Green=working.
Double click on Airport and click on the TCP/IP tab. Check to see if you have an IP address. Click Renew DHCP lease. Apply now if it is available. Open Safari and see if it works.
Let me know what happens.

Airport says connected, but browser can't load any page

Hi all mac geniuses, I just got a wireless modem/router from my DSL provider, and after I selected it and entered the password on the Airport menu, Airport says I am connected. However, the web browser can't load a page like it doesn't have internet connection. Is there something I missed during the setup?

No, Three feet away from the wireless. When i connect to the cat6 cable, I have no problem with the high-speed of the router.
It's only trying to disconnect and go wireless that I have a "fake connection" if you will
The 404.2 is the number I got from system profiler
the whole firmware info is: 404.2 (3.90.34.0.p16)
as they say in Shakespeare: "For my part, it was Greek to me"
Remember this is an internal card on my laptop, so the numbers might be different...
I truly appreciate any help/wisdom anyone might have on this matter.
I'm probably going to call Netgear who make this new smokin router and see what's up

Bluetooth (i have been using for a while) says connected, but is not working.

I have a Macbook pro, just updated to Yosemite, and now blue tooth (devices I have been using) don't work even though it says connected. I have googled the possible problems-tried all the fixes, nothing has helped.

My experience in this situation has been that's it's related to the visa card, and not necessarily the phone or the iTunes store. In addition to verifying all of the credentials on the card as entered, I'd also check with you card bank and see if they have declined the charges due to some type of security concerns. I have a Chase card, and they will decline a charge even though there are sufficient funds available, if the charges meet some security screening criteria.

I have downloaded the latest Adobe Flash - it says successful but will not work. It says to 'Manage Plug-ins but the Plug-in says it is enabled but it will not work at all. I have tried disabling and then enabling - no success.

There's two different versions of Flash. The ActiveX version for IE, and the Plugin version for other browsers. Did you install the correct version? This forum's software doesn't thing that Flash is installed for Firefox or the Plugin is disabled.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

AirPort says 'connected' but Safari says 'not connected to the internet'

I'm stumped.
I just replaced a failed HD. Installed OS from original disk. Airport shows strong signal and says "connected" but when trying to open Safari or check for software updates I receive a 'you're not connected to the internet' message.
Remember I had upgraded to Snow Leopard, so just installed that from disk as well. Same situation with the attempts to wirelessly connect.
Note - all other computers, smart phones, etc in the house can still connect wirelessly. When I connect the MacBook via the ethernet cable, it's fine. Problem is only with wireless connection.
Service is Verizon Fios. Have tried repeatedly restarting the router.
Any other suggestions?

John,
Yes, I've been running Software Update frequently over the last 24 hours (needed to update all the software on that new HD) said there were no updates at last check. However, followed link you provided above and installed the Combo update.
Was hopeful on initial restart after that install, as I rec'd a message to the effect of: "none of your preferred networks are connected". Selected my home network (which was listed and with strong signal), entered password and same result - not connected to the internet.
Took your advice above and returned to "Using DHCP" setting. Inital response was "no ip address" and then after short time, "self assigned ip address" "will not be able to connect to the internet". Tried "renew DHCP lease" and continually receive same result. All very frustrating.
My next step will be to try and connect wirelessly on a friend or family member's network (my local Apple store is a bit far away. Easier for me to visit the ones near my office during the work week).
If I am able to connect on another's network, does that indicate it's an issue with my router?
If I am UNABLE to connect on another's network, does that indicate it's an issue with my laptop?
This is so disappointing - the replacement of the HD was so easy, as was the reinstalling of software. This connection issue is souring what was a relatively painless and quick experience.
Thank you again,
Christine

Airport card connected but safari not connected to internet

Running os 10.4.1 on IMAC g5 with airport card.
i am having some wireless network issues. when i try to connect to the linksys router that my airport card locates it tells me that i am connected to the network; but when i try to load a page in Safari it tells me that i am not connected to the internet. Internet Explorer gives me the same message.
i have been able to test my airport card by logging into another (neighbor's) network (just for testing). it received DHCP from that router and assigned a 198.162.x.x. IP address for my computer. i originally had the same issue as far as being connected but safari wouldnt open web pages. i manually plugged in DNS numbers 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 from OPEN DNS.com and Safari instantly loaded web pages.
when i try to do the same on the linksys network my airport card connects but Safari once again will not connect to the internet. I am receiving a DHCP IP address automatically from that router but cannot connect to the internet...
PLEASE HELP ME (it's driving me crazy!)

Oh man... since my last post (all of 15 minutes ago) my iMac now cannot connect to the network at all. The network status menu widget shows it as being connected (sometimes), but it can't actually connect to anything.
Just as an experiment, I turned off MAC address filtering on the base station. Didn't help.

Wireless keyboard connected but does not work.

My wireless numeric keypad is connected to the iMac, but does not work. Wireless keyboard and mouse are OK. Tried connecting/disconnecting and restarting the Mac to no avail. Everything was fine yesterday. Any suggestions?

Try a SMC reset (could help, cannot hurt):

TS3048 The keypad is not registering with my macbook pro - changed batteries but still not working. Bluetooth says it is connected. Suggestions please.

My bluetooth numeric keypad is not registering with my macbook pro - changed the batteries when the light started blinking - but won't work. Bluetooth says it is connected.
Suggestions please.

Your MBP sees the Bluetooth keyboard but won't pair with it probably because the keyboard is pairing with another computer or device nearby. If you had previously paired the same keyboard with another device, go to the other computer or device and either unpair it or have the device "forget" the keyboard. Then you will be able to pair the keyboard with your MBP.

AirPort fully Connected but Safari not loading

My airport shows i'm picking up full bars from my wireless router. But when i run safari it shows that i'm not connected to the server. I have a magicjack connected to my macbook and thats running fine.. fyi internet is needed to run this. Also on my itunes i can access the itunes store which also needs internet access. So i can get internet but accessing it thru safari it doesnt pick it up. I can access internet thru safari when i have my ethernet cable connect but not wirelessly.... HELP... PLEASE.. i'm about to loose my mind... I dont like being stationary!!!!!! Any advise is welcome..

HI,
Try installing the v10.6.3 Combo Update
Then repair disk permissions.
aunch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

TS1425 it won't disconnect it says connected but is not showing up under devices in ITunes

I Pod is not showing up under devices in ITunes...it is connected to my MacBook Pro and it says connected ...but it is frozen...

I'm not a Mac user, but do one of the following:
> Restart your mac.
> uninstall & reinstall iTunes
> reset your iPod (if possible)
> make sure iTunes is up to date.
This is what I really know, I don't use a mac. If this doesn't help, then sorry.

<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.>
And it worked for me.

HT204400 Apple TV will not ask for my wifi password to connect - it says it is connected but it is not- i click on my wifi and says connected but does not ask for my password

I just hooked up my Apple TV - it is all connected correctly- when my wifi comes up on my tv screen i click and select it. It then says it is "connected" , but it is not as is it has not asked for the password for my wifi. I have turned it all off and back on, I have restarted it as well. I do know why it will not ask for my password - am I missing something?

It will not ask after it is already connected. Is ATV working? Can you connect to the iTunes store, Netflix, etc?

I can't download the new U2 album, says purchased, but is not there

the new free download for U2's latest album is not working for me - it shows as purchased, but when following your instructions, it does not appear in my purchased music in itunes or any of my devices, please help.

Hi emaildaniels,
On your computer, click on iTunes in the top menu, click on Preferences, and then on the Store tab. Make sure that "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases" is checked. You should now be able to see the album in your Music library with a little cloud next to it. Click on the cloud to download it.
On your devices, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and under "Show All" make sure that the Music button is on.
Cheers,
GB
