New Macbook wont connect to the internet

So i bought one of those new MacBook's. Its airport detects the network im trying to connect to, and shows it has full signal strength but refuses to let me onto any websites. Its as if there is no network connection active, despite airport saying there is.
I went into the Mac Store and asked a very helpful person in a blue t-shirt there and he mentioned adding the macbooks MAC address to the MAC Filter list. - that hasnt worked
The Network im trying to connect to is a WPA Personal, set up on a windows PC
Can anyone help?!

You need to access the router from you Mac and verify that the settings are correct.
Enter the IP of the router into your address bar on Safari and log into the router.
You will need to know the IP address, and the login id and password.
Then check the WiFi settings. Type of encryption, etc.
Then on the Mac in Network Preferences, be sure you have checked Configure: Using DHCP
If you are connecting to the router you should see the router IP address next to Router:
and your own IP DHCP-assigned IP next to IP Address.
You might want to first set the computer up using a wired connection to the router to eliminate any issues with the WiFi, which is a bit more complex to setup and get working properly.
You will have to learn a bit about networking in order to diagnose and fix things.
Then there is the other issue: If your router does not have the latest firmware, Leopard may not work with it until it is updated. Leopard security is much higher than in the Windows world and if the router and/or WiFi part of it is not running the most recent firmware/software, Leopard may simply not connect. Many of us here had to update our router firmware to make Leopard work properly. It's easy to do and you can find the information on your router's website.

  • HT201413 My new iphone wont connect to the internet also I have reset my passwords 10 times or more because a pop up always pops up and says wrong password very frustrated

    cant connect to internet and passwords are always wrong?

    When you're in Arch, use output redirection
    lspci >lspci.out
    then boot into Ubuntu or something where you can access the files and the BBS,  Of course, don't forget to use a new file for each command output.
    The new network config in rc.conf is not that complicated (wired anyway; never used wireless).  OTOH I've had issues on two machines where I have to restart the network daemon (rc.d restart network) or rerun netcfg (netcfg eth0) after boot to get connectivity. And I still haven't come to grips with the ip command.

  • My MacBook wont connect to the Internet on Ethernet or wifi, but it is working because my iPhone is connected to the same router and so is my friends mac

    Sorry to seem so stupid. But I really don't know how to troubleshoot it anymore.
    Many thanks for any help given! :D

    If your phone is offline, the ONLY way to find it is to look for it the old fashioned way.  Your phone CANNOT be located electronically if it's offline.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    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

    - 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 I-Touch Wont Connect To The Internet ! But My Bro's Did ! Help Please

    I just bought this friggin thing a few hours ago, cause my idiot brother talked me into getting it. He successfully connected his to the internet. I just paid $230.00 for an 8gb Ipod-touch, and a warranty, and it wont connect to the internet. I put in my network, and the password, but it's not going through. But my brothers works fine. Anybody know what i can do ?

    Yeah, they took down the post cause im not supposed to talk about it apparently. That was my brothers. His is working fine, he can go online, and do things, but for some reason i cant go on youtube, or safari, and cant connect to my main connection.
    I was thinking, maybe since there is two I-Touch's, maybe only one can be connected, but im not to sure about that.

  • TS1398 My macbook is connected to the internet, but my iPad just stopped connecting.  I have "forgotten" the network and restarted, and I have "turned off" the iPad.  It still says it's not connected to the internet, but the wifi signal is strong.

    My ipad was working, and then just said it wasn't connected to the internet.  I have forgotten the network and rejoined, I have turned off the ipad (slid on the arrow), and still no luck.  The macbook is working with no problem.  Help.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. 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.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    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
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    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.

  • My ipad wont connect to the internet server, help please!

    My ipad suddenly wouldn't connect to the internet so I turned it off and on, checked the settings, there wasn't anything wrong and I could connect to my wifi from my phone in the same location. So I pressed reset and delete all data and settings. Now it wont reset and a message comes up that says "your ipad could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached:. Try connecting your ipad to itunes to activate it or try again in a couple of minutes." I cant connect to itunes because I cant get past this page in the reconfiguring process. Trying again and again will not work. Can anyone help?
    Thanks.

    By reseting and deleting all data and settings, you wiped your iPad clean of anything that was "yours". Put your iPad into recovery mode and restore from iTunes. Hopefully you have a backup there to recover all your data.

  • My Cisco E1000 wont connect to the internet HELP

    I recently bought a new router but I'm having issues with it. We have 2 Laptops in our house and 1 (windows 7) can connect to the router and get internet access but the other (windows vista) can't it says that the Cisco router is not connected to the internet but it is. I've tried everything, resetting, reprogramming, etc. I recently found that the windows 7 one had the software installed and the windows vista didn't. What I need is to get that software but I need to know which version to get. How do I know which version of the software goes with my computer?
    Thx

    You informed that you have two laptops... Are they running on wireless connection? Then in that case you need not have to install the Cisco Connect Software separately in that Vista Laptop...
    Just you need to follow these steps..
    # First, go to "Start Menu" -> "Control Panel" -> "Network and Internet".
    # Now... go to "Network and Sharing Center" and select "Connect to a network"...
    # Choose "Show All" and hit the refresh button. If you find active network connections, select the one you want, click on “Connect" and don't forget to check the option that says "Start this connection automatically". If you check this option, Windows Vista will connect automatically to the selected network every time you log in...
    # It will ask for the password for the wireless network if is secured and then connect...
    Hope this will help you in connecting the wireless network...

  • Itunes 10.5 wont connect to the internet

    I recently updated to itunes 10.5. Until then, itunes would connect to the internet ok. now it wont connect at all.
    I have read through other forum topics for an answer. I have a firewall but I have checked the firewall settings and itunes is set for full access. i am not using a proxy. I keep getting a message saying my computer is not connected to the internet. This is not correct as all of my other application connect ok to the internet. I have tried completely uninstalling all apple software and then reinstalling but still get the same problem.
    How can I resolve this?

    Have EXACTLY the same issue thePOPEofDOPE420, tried the setting> general> reset> reset network setting suggestion - but this does nothing. Still the issue persists.
    WiFi - internet works great. As soon as it's off, status bars showing a full signal, 3G but the web page/Facebook app/App Store just hangs and won't load.
    Not sure who to contact - T-Mobile or Apple?
