No internet connection but full wifi help!
Hi I had the same macbook and internet connection for about 5 years with no problems but suddenly a couple of days ago I can't connect to the internet. I have full wifi and am using my phone with it but something seems to have changed on my mac. I've read the responses to similar queries as I see that this happens quite frequently but I don't really understand them. Could someone please explain to me how to fix this in simple layman's terms? Thank you!

Spotty internet connection, but constant wifi signal
I have a MacBook from around 2007. I am currently running on Snow Leopard. I have no problem getting a wifi signal. The connection strength remains at full bars always. However, even when I have full bars, the connection will inexplicably stop. Typically if i wait for about 1 or 2 min the connection will come back and the webpage will continue loading.
I have a PC laptop as well and never experience anything similar on the same network.
Some forums I have read for similar issues suggest a new airport card. But before I make the $100 purchase, does anyone out there have other tips for me?Who is your carrier?
The iPhone is designed to always have an internet connection as long as there is an available wi-fi network you have access to, or cellular reception. If the iPhone's visual voicemail feature is supported by your carrier, visual voicemail messages are downloaded to the iPhone via the carriers's data or internet network only. No internet access via the cellular network, and no visual voicemail access.
You can have this disabled at the source by contacting your carrier and requesting that internet access be disabled for your line/number/account via the carrier's network. -

Open Sysem Preferences from your Apple () menu top left in your screen then select the Firewall tab.
Make sure the Firewall is turned off. -
I was trying to update my iOS to 7.1 but I can't, I have internet connection but if requires WiFi? before I can update my OS just using my phone internet but now I can't. Does OS 7.1 really require WiFi? Thanks!
The iPhone requires wi-fi to update if you try to update over the air, since the phone needs to reboot, thus disconnecting itself. You can update via iTunes and the computer, but you would not be able to tether to the phone for the internet connection, since the phone would disconnect. So, you can either update via wi-fi and the phone, or you can update with a computer that has an internet connection other than the phone.

Please download iTunes from Apple.com and then sync your ipad.After which your ipad will appear on the right hand side upper corner of iTunes.Select your ipad and click check for update,once update has been found click update and follow the steps after that.

I can't sign in to find my friends , it says I have no Internet connection but I do , the app used to work , help please
when you say there is an Internet connection have you used safari? Or does the phone just display a data connection (i.e. 3g/4g)? You could try a couple of things if it is the latter 1. turn off cellular data than turn it back on. 2. turn on airplane mode and turn it back off. I type these assuming you've tried resetting network connections.

My ipad says it has an internet connection but when i try to access safari it says it is unable to as there is no internet connection, help!
Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings.
Restart your IPad. Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, try here > Apple - Support - iPad - Wi-Fi -

Trying to connect to a known internet connection but I keep getting the response "Unable to join network" and the internet is connected, please help.
Okay now this description was pretty vague but it could be a few things. First thing to try. Turn wifi off and then one again and try to connect. If this fails read on.
The second step is to select that network in the wifi settings so you get an expanded menu of it. Follow these steps from the home menu on your ipad... SETTINGS>Wi-FI>NETWORK NAME (you have to click the little blue arrow)> FORGET THIS NETWORK. Then turn wifi off and then on. Then try to connect again. If this fails... well read on,
Okay, so now you really know it's most likely not your ipad, so go on down to your wifi router and turn it off, wait ten seconds, turn it on again. WITH YOUR IPAD OFF. Then turn on your ipad on and then try to connect again. If this fails... Then you'll have to do some more complex things. You could try setting up the network again. IF that fails too. Leave some details about your router, brand, year etc... And I'll try to let you know what else it could be. -
My ipod 5th gen says it is connected to the internet and i can go on apps that require an internet connection but whe i try to use the weather or another app that uses your current location it cant find me???
If you open the Maps app where does that say you are located?
For location the iPod uses the location of nearby routers that are in Apple's database of routers and their location. Thus it appears that Apple's database is incorrect. You do not have to be connected to the router, just within range.
Apple periodically updates their database based on information they obtain from iPhones, The iPhone has to have turned on the option to send info to Apple. no one has found another way to get the location of a router added/corrected.
You can confirm that by going to well-know place with wifi like Starbucks or McDonalds -
My IPOD and Macbook Pro both will not connect to the Itunes store through Itunes says no internet connection, but I can connect through safari and I have a internet connection
As I mentioned above, I am not very tech savvy so I have no idea why a wireless protocol would be showing up there, I'm just listing everything I see in hopes that someone might know something I can try. This is why I am asking for help here - I'm not sure what has happened that has made me unable to connect, especially since it seemingly occured while nobody was using the computer.
I guess I should clarify that I'm not a total hillbilly- normally my firewall is set to 'on', but I set it to 'off' to try and troubleshoot the issues here as I was told that sometimes it can interfere with the computer's ability to connect to the internet. If this is not the case and firewall does not affect anything, I will turn it back on while I try to fix this.
I have tried the method you mentioned above a few times - I actually contacted my ISP earlier this week and they recommended resetting the router like that. They didn't mention any known network issues. -
IPhone 5 no internet connection away from WIFI
I have no Internet connection away from WiFi while using 3G on my iPhone 5. This didn't use to be a problem. I now get the message <your phone is not connected to the Internet.>
I have data roaming/ cellular data enabled. Can anyone offer help as I may have changed a setting somewhere without knowing?
Grateful for any help please!
ThxHave you recently changed your SIM card to that of another provider? If so, you may need to set your APN settings - Settings/Mobile/Mobile Data Network (on UK phones). If not, then seek advice from your service provider because it's very likely to be connected with your APN settings.
The other option is to search the Internet for the APN settings for your service provider. The information should be readily available. -

I have no firewall and my date/time is correct -for germany, that is! Could this be the reason why? But should I switch to US western or eastern time?
But anyhow: I succeeded ordering an iPhoto book a year ago with no problem whatsoever. So I don't really think thats the key to my problem. But I give it a try by switching to Cupertino time

How can I get Numbers 3.2 to recognise 1e-5 as scientific notation?
I just changed from Numbers '09 (2.3) to Number 3.2 on Mavericks (OS X 10.9.3) and the new version doesn't seem to recognise "e" or "E" as scientific notation. When I set the cell format to scientific and type "0.0015", Numbers returns "1.5×10^-03".
