Problems accessing the internet via wifi

I'm not able to access internet via wifi but am connected to my wifi network.
No problems when using 3G
I guess it is a dns problem?
when i check the wifi settings IP address and subnet mask
have details but is blank for router, dns and search domains.
What details should I input there?
Would it mess anything up if I used the same settings that my iphone uses?
I know wifi is ok because I can download books to my ipad with stanza using wifi.
Sorry don't know too much about this sort of thing

Is their a limit to no. of devices that can connect?
Yes, this would be determined by the size of the IP pool allocated on your time capsule router. Ordinarily this should be large enough by default to accommodate the number of devices you have.
Not sure where to check
"If DHCP is not working for you then you should check to see if your router is set to do DHCP and that MAC address filtering is not turned on"
*First, please note that if you aren't really familiar with network setup you should probably give Apple support a call and they can walk you through this.* See: http://www.apple.com/support/expert/
You can access your Time Capsule router using the Airport Utility which is found in the Applications/Utilities folder on your Macbook Pro. If you use this utility you can see how your router is setup. Post what you see here, i.e., Network name, radio mode, channel, Security password protection (WPA2 personal is best), etc. Of course, don't post any passwords.
Don't forget to check that the IP Address selector in your iPad WiFi setting for your network (which can be DHCP, BootP or Static) is set to DHCP.
I will turn Time capsule off for a while to try.
At this point it might also be a good idea to also go to Settings > General > Reset on your iPad and select "Reset Network Settings".

I have a first gen IPad 1..have been very happy until two weeks ago...everytime I try to access the internet via WIFI...it blows me off. I have tried 5-6 different WIFI spots...to be sure it was not mine at home...does the same thing everywhere...

Recently I have lost the ability to access the internet via WIFI with my I Pad one first generation. It blows me off every time I try. I have
tried 6 different WIFI spots to be sure it was not the WIFI at home. Just doesn't work?????

I cannot access the internet via wifi on my time capsule.

I cannot access the internet via wifi on my time capsule even thought it was shown that I am connected to the time capsule with full wifi on my iMac. I use to be able access the internet via wifi on the TC. However, after playing around with the airport utility on my iPad I was no longer able to access the internet via the wifi on myTC. How can I fix this problem?

Did your TC recently upgrade firmware to 7.6.3?
I recommend you do a full factory reset.. and redo the setup.
Use different names.. SMB type.. ie short, no spaces. pure alphanumeric for everything.
Use only WPA2 Personal security.
If that doesn't work, give more info.
Age of the TC.. model number.. A1xxx from the base.
Firmware revision.
In the computer are you getting the correct IP and router and dns values? Please post a screen shot.

Sorry, no. Apple does not support downgrading.
Have you tried to go into your settings, reset, reset network settings? It'll erase your current network from your iPad and let you start over.

I am unable to connect my ipad to the internet via wifi, when asked for my password I get message "unable toI ge join network" however my laptop is able to access the internet using similar procedures and in the same physical location.?

What router are you using? make/model/version
What security type are you using? If it is WEP then symbolic (non hex) keys may be converted to hex in different ways by different operating systems. Is your laptop a Windows PC?
If you are using WEP then drop it and move to WPA2. WEP has been deprecated by the WiFi alliance since 2004 as insecure (it can be hacked in seconds).

I receive a not connected to the internet message several times daily on my iMac connected via airport to a time capsule which accesses the internet via cable modem.. When I input my password to enter network preferences, the connection re-establishes.

I receive a "not connected to the internet message" several times daily on my iMac connected via airport to a time capsule which accesses the internet via a cable modem. Software/firmware is up to date on the iMac (OSX 10.6.8) and Tme Capsule(7.5.2). Browser is Safari 5.1.
When I input my password at the prompt to enter network preferences, all the lights go green (ie... ethernet, ISP etc.) and the connection re-establishes immediately and states "the connection appears to be working normally".
It more of a nuisance than anything and seems to have started ocurring over the past couple of months. I also have a windows XP box also connected to the same cable modem that I never have internet connectivity issues with. I've verified all the physical aspects of the connections and can't see any evidence of any actual drops in the modem logs. I suspect it is just an intermittent communication loss between the Imac and the Time Capsule, but I am not very familiar with Mac equipment yet.
Just wondering if anyone has experienced a similar problem and what you did (if anything) to resolve it?
Thanks.

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.

You need to do a clean reinstall.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

I am trying to set up internet sharing from my macbook air but there does not seem to be an option for this because the air is connected to the internet via wifi connection. Is it possible to still share this?

I am trying to set up internet sharing from my macbook air but there does not seem to be an option for this because the air is connected to the internet via wifi connection. Is it possible to still share this?

It depends upon how the other machines are connecting to your MBA:
If the the other machines are also using wi-fi, they can connect directly to the wireless access point (router) without going through your MBA
If the other machines are connecting to the MBA using ethernet you can share your wi-fi connection to them

HT204023 If my iphone is connected to the internet via wifi will it use my cellular data if I use it as a personal hotspot or will it use the wifi's internet???

If my iphone is connected to the internet via wifi will it use my cellular data if I use it as a personal hotspot or will it use the wifi's internet???
The wireless on my laptop brokebut I can still connect to my phone when I plug it in. My iphone is connected to the wifi but is this being transfered onto the laptop or is it using up my data???

Personal hotspot shares your cellular connection with other devices via cable, bluetooth or WiFi. If you turn on the hotspot, the phone will be disconnected from the WiFi network you are on and share access to the cellular connection. That's what it's for. It's using your data plan if that's what you're trying to do.

HT204406 Apple ID couldnt be created bacause of a server error, help!!!! I cannot access the internet via Ipod

After having to do a recovery with my Ipod I try to access the internet via the Ipod and the above mentioned Error is what I receive.

So I found out with alittle research that instead of entering all that info on my ipod, security questions, birthday, ect that it was much easier to just go to http://appleid.apple.com and place all that info there and save it than try the process on my ipod and it finished the update.

Thanks for your note. My tech dept could not come up with any explanation for the dictation tool not working. We have about 1,000 employees in our office - I think I will send an all employee message to see if anyone else has the issue.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You need to turn the services you want to sync (calendars, contacts etc) on on both devices from settings > iCloud.
