No internet connection, yet WiFi is connected

Hi all! I'm having problems connecting to the internet with my iPad. The thing is, my WiFi has a full signal, however when I go onto safari it is saying that my iPad is not connected to the internet. I have other devices which are working just fine and my iPad is the only device that has connectivity problems.. what am I to do? I must also add that certain apps that need internet connectivity are still somewhat working..

Probably just a glitch. Try to reset your iPad. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot, then try again.
ALso, try force quitting safari. Double tap the home button. When you see the preview for safari, flick it up and off the screen, then single tap the home button to exit the mode. try again to connect.
If that doesn't work, you can try going into the settings and 'reset all network settings' and then try to reconnect to your wifi from scratch.

I am connected to my usual wifi and when I try to go onto any apps which require internet connection, it says I have no internet connection yet I am connected to wifi, how do I resolve this?

I am connected to my usual wifi and when I try to go onto any app's which require Internet connection, it says I have no Internet connection yet I am connected to wifi, how do I resolve this?I have had this problem for about a week.
Any responses are appriciated

You posted in the iPad forum, but you profile lists an iPhone 4S. Does your iPhone or iPad have this problem.
Here's some iPad suggestions. Most also apply to the iPhone. Your iPhone or iPad may show the wifi symbol but that only shows the presence of a wifi signal. Not that you are connected.
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 droping 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

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.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Macbook Pro won't connect to internet. Yet says it is connecte to wifi.

So I can't seem to acess my wifi on my new macbook pro even though I can acess it on my PowerBook G4.
At first it said it wouldn't connect/ couldnt find IP adress, so I entered the IP information from my G4 and it said it was connected but still could not veiw web pages. I tried renewing the DHCP lease several times but still could not get a Router #. I also tried using Keychain first aid.

Speak to the person who runs the internet connection for your school. they may need to accept you ip address into the system

IPad and Apple TV mirror intermittent yet wifi signal is strong with solid Internet connection

On my iPad, I like to be able to mirror everything to my Apple TV when there is company. Sometimes this is not a problem. When I select the icon for the menu to choose iPad or Apple TV, it comes up OK but I cannot always select Apple TV. It is intermittent and I cannot find the pattern. All other connections are solid and strong.

Connect up the ipad/iphone to the Seagate hdd (use the default settings to start with, then u can change name of network/password ect)This is an app for the seagate hdd that does this.
Turn on the AppleTV and then just usging the built in Menu go to Network, and then pick the network that has been set up on the seagate Hdd.
ALL this does let you do is, Mirror the ipad/iphone as there is no internet connection. but thats ok cause internet was not a must for me. if i want internet on it, i just connect it up to my Home network.

IPad keep getting not connected to internet message yet iPod works ok

Both macbook and ipod connect to internet fine yet all of a sudden my ipad keeps saying iam not coonected to th internet????

Here are some things to try. Try to connect after each step before you move on to the next one.
Reboot your router - unplug from power and wait 20 seconds and plug back in again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Settings>WiFi>Off. Then turn on again.
Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You will have to select your network and enter your password.
Settings>WiFi>Name of Your Network>Tap Blue Arrow>Forget this Network. You will have to select your network and enter your password.
Settings>WiFi>Name of Your Network>Tap Blue Arrow>Renew Lease.

Don't know how to fix this - status says no internet connection, yet I'm on the internet.

So this is a weird one.
I got this new MacBook Air and the WiFi started up without a hitch. I had finished migrating from my old computer to my new one and all of a sudden the status bar signal went from full bars to an exclamation point. The info says Alert: No Internet Connection, yet I am on the internet at full speed. Even though I have restarted several times, the status in the status bar remains the same. Since internet is running smoothly, part of me says to forget about it, but it bothers me.
Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this issue without ruining my internet connectivity on this computer?
Thanks!

Migration may have corrupted the network preferences ..
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Click Go then move all the files in the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
See if that makes a difference.
Your Mac will generate a new SystemConfiguration folder for you.

Using Remote app on iPhone 5 without a separate internet connection and wifi router.

Hi,
I need to be able to control iTunes within my MacBook Pro remotely. Using my mobile broadband service and wireless router I've been able to get the Remote app to allow my iPhone 5 to do the job nicely through Home Share. So I went and bought a separate WiFi router and tried to do the same thing. Of course when it didn't work, I discovered that I need an internet connection and WiFi network to make the Home Sharing work.
So I got to thinking, can I create a WiFi hotspot using the Personal HotSpot functionality of my iPhone, set up Home Sharing on phone and MacBookPro and then use the Remote app. Ideally this would work as it seems all the key components are in place.
The MacBook Pro accepts the iPhone hotspot as a means of Home Sharing, however the iPhone won't use the personal hotspot to Home Share and I can't connect to the iPhone personal hotspot on the iPhone itself.
Does anyone know how to make this work for me? It would be such as neat solution if I can get it to work - not to mention the potential to save me about $200 (I need to set this model up for two people).
Cheers
Kathy

WiFi Internet connectivity problems after upgrade to 10.8.4

After upgrading to MacOS 10.8.4 I am facing regular interruptions to my WiFi internet connectivity. Periodically the internet connectivity is lost and the only way to fix the problem is to turn WiFi off and on again. This happens frequently when I am downloading files at using big bandwidth (more than 1.5-2 MB/s). If I use assist me on the Network preferences tab, it displays an ISP error when the connectivity is down, however I am certain that I do nota have any kind of ISP or router issue since at the same time I have WiFi internet connectivity from my iPad mini, iPhone 4S and Samsung Galaxy S3. Therefore it should be a 10.8.4 issue

I cannot synch movies to my iPad. This has worked for me in the past. I keep getting an error message that I am not connected to the internet. Yet, I certainly am. How else could I post this message. I can listen to music clips from the iTunes store, fetch my email, and read current newspapers on the internet. I restarted both my iMac and my Ipad and that didnot help.

I completely understand what is happening. I know that you are connected to the Internet. I made the suggestion because I have seen it work in similar circumstances. The Apple iTunes servers can be a bit fussy about things and sometimes rebooting the router clears up this miscommunication between iTunes and your network.
Have you tried signing into your account and then try to sync again. Go to Store>View Account. You will have to enter your password. Then try to sync again. Or try signing out completely in Store>Sign out. Quit iTunes, sign in again and then try to sync again.
Sometimes refreshing settings will help clear up weird problems.

Can I share my internet connection via wifi AND use my wireless printer at the same time?

Not completely familiar with wifi capabilities. I have this new setup in my office. I want to share my iMac internet connection via wifi so I can text and check emails using my iPhone (no cell service inside the building). Which works fine. However, I now cannot print wirelessly to my HP printer (LaserJet Pro 400 color). Once Internet sharing is off, I can print just fine. Any other wireless options, or just go get a long USB cable?

Hi,
It is not a multitasking printer, other devices may keep it therefore the best option in this case: connect it to your wireless router and all devices which are conntected to this router can sahre the printer.
Regards.

I want to connect an Airport Express via WiFi to my internet connection and then connect its LAN port to the WAN port of a Time Capsule. Will then any device connected to the time capsule wirelessly be also connected to the internet?

Background is I can't hook up my time capsule directly to my internet connection via network cable. I tried to extend the network via Wifi, but that did not work. At the moment I have two wireless networks, one with internet connection and another one with my time capsule. So to use time machine I have to change my network all the time.
Can I buy an Airport Express, use is as a client to my internet connection wifi and provide that connection via network cable to my time capsule and all it's wifi clients?

The AirPort Express will connect to your existing wireless network if the network is using WPA2 Personal or WPA/WPA2 Personal wireless security settings.
So, it can join the network as a client and then provide an Ethernet signal to your Time Capsule.
Be sure to configure the Time Capsule to operate in Bridge Mode so that it will be operating on the same network.

Using a Mac, OSX 10.6.8; My internet connection is working properly, I can reach all sites via browser, yet I get the following message in iTunes: "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. An unkown error occurred (-54)."

I have the same issue with almost exactly the same environment...
iPhone4S (32GB) running iOS5.0
Windows 7 Enterprise
iTunes 10.5.2.11
iPhone has been set up to wirelessly sync when on charge yet I get this error when the iPhone is not even charging!
I work for a mobile network operator and although this isn't something we support anyway, we would usually stumble across something like this when customers call us for advice prior to contacting the manufacturer for support, yet this hasn't been a call driver so I'd imagine this is isolated... (either that or not many people have updated their device and set up the wireless sync lol)...
Hey Apple! Any ideas? :-)

WiFi: No Internet Connection Issue

Please Help!!!
MacBook Pro 13 inch i5-processor, 4G memory, Late 2011 edition running Lion 10.7.3
I finally made the switch from PC to Mac... after I had way too many PC failures. Several told me that they have not experienced such frequent failures on Apple products.
However, I am very frustrated and second guessing whether I made the right choice... so asking someone to help.
I bought a MacBook Pro 2 weeks ago that worked great for a few days. Then the internet slowed down. I thought it would be my router. I checked out the connectiviy at other locations where the speeds were great (commercial locations). On a PC the connection was good but on my Mac it was slow. So checked out for an update. There was one, applied that and there was an improvement. But found out that if I put the Mac to sleep and do not shutdown the spped degrades over time. Well, for some reason a couple of days later the speeds 'took care of itself' !!!
Now I have a new problem for the past 4 days... that has limited me in my day-to-day work.
WiFi connects and finds the signal and connects but do not have any internet connection. Gives me an error "No Internet Connection". This is what I have done so far...
1) Connect a wired connection... internet is fine.
2) Took it to Geek Squad (Best Buy) they ran a command "sudo ifconfig..." fixed it and gave me the same commands to try next time. However, that does not work at all since then
3) Ran Network Diagnostics... no help
4) Turned WiFi Off and On along with Forgetting this Networks and Joining again. Done this with several combinations and multiple times... no dice
5) There was a recent update and applied that ... no help
I am close to giving up on a Mac altogether... please help...

Can someone please at least acknowledge if they are or have experienced this same problem?

Airport extreme takes long time to establish stable Wifi to Internet connection

Hi,
I am using Airport Extreme together with Airport express (to extend the Wifi signal). When I connect my MBP, MBA or my PC to the Wifi network it takes (in 90% of cases roughly) quite a long time - even up to 20mins - to get stable Internet connection. The connection drops due to time-outs or with "DNS server cannot be reached" messages. Connectivity on my local network is just fine and does not seem to show similar behavior. After some time all settles down and my connection is fast and stable. The strange thing is that my iPads are not affected by this - i.e. I can browse internet fast on my iPad, but my MBP cannot reach a single internet page at the same time. When I switch to wired connection, everything is just fine from the beginning - no time-outs etc. Sometimes it helps to switch the Airport Extreme off and on again, but it's about a 50/50 chance.
Anyone got an idea what's going on?
Thanks a lot for help!

You have wireless gremlins.. plus voodoo..
It is the nature of the beast.
My recommendation is to clean up, simplify and start over.
1. Reset the AE to factory and start over. This time use all short names no spaces and pure alphanumerics. Same for passwords but longer.
2. While you have problems try using different names for the two bands.. eg AE24ghz and AE5ghz
3. Use fixed channels.. 11, 8, 6 in that order for 2.4ghz and usually one low and one high for 5ghz.. say 36 and 149. (actual number depend on geo-region).
4. Reset the Express to factory and test extend on both the 2.4ghz and 5ghz.. (assuming gen2.. if gen1 just 2.4ghz). The express must get excellent signal to transmit excellent connection.. if it is poor then it will make things worse not better.
5. Use the apple wireless diagnostics.. to help you determine how the signal is in various parts of the house.

http://support.apple.com/en-au/HT202663
There are plenty of these available .. paid for and free but since it is built in give it a go.
6. Setup IPv6 to link-local only.
This setting is here.
7. In the client computers with issues.. clean out all current wireless names.. reboot the computer and rediscover the wireless again.. put in the password and set to remember the network.
With Yosemite.. wireless issues are a given.. expect them.. they are part of the deal.
You might even need to do a clean install of the OS.. any upgrade install to Yosemite with issues should be treated as so normal.. it is just always going to happen.

Got new linksys router WRT160NL , but situation same. Tried reboot, renew lease, forget network, reset network setting. Pls advice

Have you tried a simple reset of your iPod to see if that helps? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, have you tried any of the troubleshooting mentioned in this Apple support document?
