New MBPro...airport connection established but can not connect to the internet...help! suggestions?

Hi all, trying to set up my MBPro...seems to be connecting to my AirPort Base Station w/out any troubles...but when I try to get online I'm getting a "can't connect to the Internet" message. I checked my network settings, restarted multiple times, etc. No luck. Seems to be a problem with the IP address (I think)...but not sure how to resolve it. I have an iMac and iPhone in the house that are able to connect and get online w/out issues. Any thoughts? TY!!

Are you asking the make/model of the computer or the AX base station?
Neither, I was interested in the make/model of the cable modem.
Our ethernet connection was fried in an electrical storm so we had to go wireless.
Electrical storms are never a good thing when it comes to electronics. What was/is your current network configuration? Is it something like the following?
Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > AX > (wireless) > wireless devices
Is there another router, other than the AX, in the configuration? ... or an Ethernet switch? I'm just trying to understand your network to best advise you on how to configure the AX.

Airport reads full signal, but can not connect to internet

Hi everyone,
I have a new powerbook that I'm trying to connect to a home network which is set up with a cable modem and a wireless linksys router. The airport reads that it has full signal from the "linksys" wireless network, however I can not get on the internet through the signal. When I connect the computer directly through the the ethernet port, it works fine. I've taken the computer to another location with the same cable modem and wireless linksys router setup, and it worked fine through the wireless. I've actually had this problem quite a few times with various wireless networks (it connects directly, but not through the full signal that reads on the airport), and I was wondering if there are some setting that need to be changed or checked for certain wireless networks. Any help would be great. Thanks,
Sofi

I'm sorry I think this makes thing harder, but I have no idea. It's actually a friend's network so I can't check at the moment. I know there is no password to the network and that they have two pcs running fine wirelessly. Is there a way I can check these settings and see what's going on?

HT4600 Airport Express light is solid green but I can not get on the internet. Any clues as to what is wrong?

Airport Exopress light is solid green, but I can not get on the internet. Does anyone have a suggestion how to fix this?

Would you please provide some more information about your current network so that we can help you? For example, is your AirPort Express the only router in your current network configuration? That is, is it connected directly to a broadband modem or to another router upstream of it? Regardless, what is the make & model of this modem?
When changing network equipment or when setting it up for the first time, it is always a good idea to perform a completer power recycle of your networking equipment. Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for the details.

You would get better response from the iTunes community forum.

I'm from the USA but am on vacation in Brazil; I have a great WiFi connection but can not connect to the iTunes Store. Is this because I am out of the Country?

Thank you very much for your insight; I guess I had assummed that iPads/iPhones/iPods were here in Brazil and further assumed that the iTunes store would also be available.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) 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. 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.

I have a ipad 64GB Wifi 3G and i can not get onto the internet, i have set up wifi but it wont get on the net

i have a ipad 64GB Wifi 3G and i can not get onto the internet, i dont have a data plan yet & i have set up wifi but it wont conect to the internet

From your description above I conclude that the WiFi transmitter and receiver of your iPad appear to be working, but I abviously cannot tell how well they are working.
Have you reset your iPad already?
Press the Home and sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until only the white Apple logo appears on the screen - usually 10 to 15 seconds - ignore anything else.

Try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Networks seen by airport, but can not connect to internet

Hello,
This is for a powerbook G4 running 10.5.8 that previously connected to our time capsule without issues. Recently, it stopped connecting to the internet although our two macbooks, phones, etc. have no problem.
It can see our network and also an open network and will "connect" with full signal strength but will not connect ot the internet. When running diagnostics it will come up with 'network change detected' and then will go through turn off modem and router and will then continue in a loop with turning off modem or router and not let me past the "network settings (yellow tab in front of network settings)" portion of network diagnostics. I've tried setting up a network and this did not work. I have also tried connecting to the time capsule which was not recognized either. I like the powerbook for traveling and since the ethernet source was fried years ago, it is pretty much useless without the airport functioning.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Once I had a very similar problem and took it to the Apple Store. I'm not entirely certain what they did, but I believe it was to remove some corrupted .plists. Maybe someone here would know which ones would be the relevant ones to look at.
In the meantime, you might consider one of these as a workaround:

It's not the most elegant solution, but I have a couple of these and they seem to be very reliable, and cheap enough at the sale price.
Good luck!

TS1424 downloaded itunes but can not connect to store message reads error 11222

Trying to connect to itunes store using windows 7 professional. I have downloaded and re-installed so many times and still I can not connect. The help function is saying I am not connected to the internet. Error message 11222. I can not update my iphone with new software either. It says I do not have internet connection. Unfortunately I am not very computer savvy so no idea what operating system is.

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

wifi on but can not access internet

I COULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM!!! : CHANGE YOUR ISP
I it is obvious that we are talking about different issues, but all arise from the same origin. I am a surgeon and fortunately one of my patients is executive manager of one of biggest ISP companies from which I have bought my Internet service for home and my clinic.
One day I told him the problem and he promised to check it for me. A few days later he called me and discussed the exact problem (unfortunately as I am not I.T professional, I couldn’t understand it well, I can just remember he was talking about MULTIPLEXING incompatibility between Mac security settings and that specific ISP multiplexing settings, He also said they had similar problems with some Linux users. I can remember he relate the problem to cheap ISP hardware, which leads to security issues which are ignored by Windows Systems but leading to connection blockade in Mac Browsers. That’s why if you PING yahoo.com, you will see everything is OK but your browsers are not working)
In fact this is a hardware issue which is related to ISP (Internet Service Provider) security and not your Mac.
The day after, I took my MacBook to some ISP offices and asked them to let me connect to their line just for a test. “ Surprisingly I found out without changing my MacBook’s settings it works well with some ISPs and not with others!! “
I have two ADSL lines: one at home and one in my clinic. First I changed my home ISP and everything is well at home from the day I did the change. But before changing my clinic’s ISP it worked at home and not at the clinic. Later I changed my clinic’s ISP and afterward never I had any problem. This proves ( as that manager said also) this problem is related to ISP and not Mac itself and that’s why Apple could not have resolved the problem yet: different ISPs have different issues.
Here I can make some suggestions:
1- First, take your MacBook into different ISP offices and find the one which works well (before making the contract and paying money to the ISP, restart the Mac or send it into sleep mode repeatedly to make sure the connection never drops with restart or sleeps)
2- Change your modem: Modems as TP-LINK, D-LINK, are not well compatible with Mac. Apple modems or Linksys are perhaps the best choices (this is not main cause of internet drop, but can affect the performance)
3- Make sure your neighbor’s Wi-Fi is not exactly on the same channel as you are using (I use iStumbler for finding my neighbor’s channels)
4- Find best DNS: ask your ISP to provide you most compatible DNS’s for you. Perhaps most known DNSs are 8.8.8.8 and 4.2.2.4.It helps you to browse the Internet more efficiently
Some people in other forums suggested that upgrading to Mountain Lion has helped them. But It didn't work for my clinic's line. Just changing the ISP at clinic resolved my problem
BETWEEN THESE 4 SUGGESTIONS, THE FIRST ONE IS THE MAIN SOLUTION AND NO 2-4 CAN HELP THE PERFORMANCE.
Move on!!! Change your ISP and let me know if it works!!!!

I am in process of unlocking my iphone and need to restore my phone backed it up already but ituenes will not let me restore keeps telling me ituenes can not get on the internet no connection with is not true cause otherwise you would not have gotten this

I have contacted at&t and they did what was nessary to unlock my phone was told to backup my phone and did that so know I just need to restore my phone with ituens which ituenes will not let me do cause I get message can not connect to cause of no internet connection wich is not true cause other wise you would not have gotten this

Try restoring the iPhone to factory settings. If you are having difficult restoring, put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and see if that then works:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If not, or if a restore to factory settings does not fix the problem, then your iPhone may have a hardware problem. You can only get the iPhone serviced by Apple in Canada, so you will have to take the iPhone there or send it to someone you know in Canada who can get the iPhone serviced and send it back to you. The only option for getting service in Pakistan would be to pay some unauthorized repair shop to attempt a repair, after which Apple will no longer provide any service even in Canada.
Regards.
