apple tv will connect to network but not internet

I have unplugged the apple TV but it still says noat connected. However, it has accessed some movies but when I try to purchase or download from say netflix, it cannot.

IPod will connect to computer but not to iTunes (I followed the apple website guide already)

My iPod touch 4th gen WILL connect to my computer but not iTunes. I ran the diagnostics in iTunes and Apple mobile service is running, iTunes is updated and iTunes says everything is ok EXCEPT it says there is no iPod connected, but my computer says it is.
The apple diagnostic is located under the "Help" tab in the "Run Diagnostics" button.
Everything is a green light and is ready to go, except the last diagnostic which says that I do not have an iPod connected. The problem here is that I do, It is also a new iPod and when I plug it in I hear the computer beep that signifies that an external device has been connected.
My sister also has this problem connecting to the same computer (the only computer with this problem).

Have you tried everything here:

New iMac will connect to Airport but not Internet

I've just bought an Intel iMac 2.94ghz, brought it home and tried to get it onto the internet.
It sees my wireless network and connects just fine, with all bars full. But if I try to view a page in Safari, I get the 'You are not connect to the Inernet' page. I've tried restarting, turning wireless on and off, restarting my router, restarting, reseting and updating the firmware on my Airport Extreme, dumping AppleAirport kexts, disabling IPv6, renewing the DHCP lease (always comes back self-assigned) etc etc but nothing helps.
Additional info:
* my iPhone, MacBookPro and girlfriend's Windows laptop all still connect to the internet fine
* my iMac can see and connect to the other computers on the network, and vice versa
* my iMac cannot connect to my router, unless I manually assign my iMac an IP address
* if I manually assign my iMac an IP address, I can see my router, but am still 'not connected to the internet'
Has anyone got any ideas what could be wrong here, or should I be taking my iMac back to the Apple store?

Bought my iMac in February and worked fine up until about a month ago. I have assigned a manual IP address outside the range of other devices in my network (e.g. 192.168.0.10) and this seems to do the trick (most of the time). The problem I had was the self assigned IP address wasn't in the usual range for my router so while I was connected to Airport and the internet I couldn't view any webpages. Had to do the same thing to my Macbook which I purchased about a month ago.
The strange and very frustrating thing is sometimes it doesn't recognise my preferred network but then when it asks me to join a network, my network appears! When I try to connect and confirm password, connection times out. Whats that all about?
The bottom line is the assigned IP solution doesn't always work but it seems a combination of issues rather than one. None of the other devices on my network (ReadyNas Duo, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii etc) have issue connecting to the router using DHCP but for some reason Airport has trouble dealing with this and assigning a correct IP or can't find the network all together.
Only thing I can think is its some Airport update that has caused these intermittent issues and realy hope they fix it soon.
So no update but just wanted to share my experiences in what seems a very wide scale issue...

Airport will connect to network but not internet

Hi,
My MacBook air started out working beautifully on my wireless network-high download speeds, solid connection, etc... After about six hours of operation however, it has stopped being able to find the internet consistently, no matter what wireless network I try. I use a NetGear wireless hub in my room, and my laptop is able to consistently find and connect to the network (the hub is only about 3 feet away) but it cannot connect to the internet. Under network settings I get the message "Airport has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet" or "Airport cannot connect to the internet." I know that the internet is working, because the network works fine for my MB Pro, iPhone, TiVo, and xBox 360. In fact, the MBA is occassionally able to find the internet and get an IP address. Sometimes this IP address allows me to load web pages extremely slow and sometimes I cannot even find google. The problem extends beyond my one network, however, as I have difficulty connecting to other wireless networks. I am on a college campus and sometimes can connect to the campus WiFi, but it again frequently connects without being able to figure out an IP address. Some help would be great.

I have a similar issue. Mine does the same thing, but only if in a specific area. If I'm sitting on my recliner with the Air on my lap, then it will connect, but I can't get to any sites. The browser just stalls.
If I move to the table that's 3 feet away from me, then the internet connects without any problems.
It could be a reception issue with me, or something. I don't know. At first it connected at very high speeds. That was before 10.5.2.
I don't know if the Leopard Update has anything to do with it, since my iMac doesn't have this problem at all. And that has an N card also.
I hope Apple is looking into this wireless issues.

My computer will connect to wifi but not the Internet

My computer will connect to wifi but not the Internet. It's not a problem with my router because I've tried other devices on the same router and they work. I have also tried my computer on other routers and there is still no Internet connection. Does anyone know how to fix this?

After using video capture device to copy VHS to DVD, burnt DVD will play on computer but not

After using video capture device to copy VHS to DVD, burnt DVD will play on computer but not on DVD player. Tech support for the VCD said my HP DVD burning software has to burn "DVD Video and not DVD data" and to check with HP. How can i check myself.

Grahamster, welcome to the forum.
I recommend trying CDBurnerXP for burning video CD's. I have been using it for years without a glitch. I use it mainly for burning ISO's, but have used it for all types. Please let us know if it works or not.

When trying to update and install Mountain Lion's 10.8.3 update from 10.8.2, the App Store will restart my computer but not install the update. Any ideas on how to update my Macbook Pro 15" from 2008?

I was wondering, does anyone have an idea on how to update my Macbook Pro 15" to Mountain Lion's 10.8.3 from Mountain Lion's 10.8.2 version? When I attempt to use the App Store, it will restart my computer but it will not install the update. The update also still shows up in the App Store as available and when going to "About my Mac," it still shows the current version being 10.8.2.

Help! hd dvd will play on computer but not in dvd player

i created a hd slideshow aprox 25jpg images at 1280x720. in dvdsp project preferences are set to hd dvd, slideshow is set to 1280x720p. i have one image set as a menu with one button to play the slideshow. the simulation works fine. the disc burns fine and will play in the computer but not in dvd player. i have tried 4 different players. i also tried setting the prefs to sd then reburn disc. also tried converting the slide show to a track with the smae result. the media im using is imation dvd-r.
any help would be greatly apreciated!

HD discs will not play in SD players. Also changing the prefs to SD will not change an existing HD project to an SD project (you cannot go from HD to SD in a project, you need to recreate it as an SD, though you can change an SD to HD project)

AOL Broadband, will connect to laptop, but not connect to internet explorer. WRT54GS v.6

I can connect to my wireless network via my laptop, but not to internet explorer. We have changed every setting imaginable and re-set the modem, router many times. We Ip configed, did ping tests, installed and re-installed the card in the laptop. Done all this 4 times with the tech support from Linksys. Finally, I realized it must the wireless router and/or modem configuration. (The laptop works on every other network in town except ours, and has not security settings enabled).
I have been on customer service calls for 2 weeks, with AOL and linksys and nothing seems to be helping me. I have 2 wireless routers (thought the first was bad, so bought another brand new), and just had a brand new modem installed. Basically, I have brand new equipment.
The laptop has no security settings and connect to any wireless network in town. It finds the connection to my WRT54GS v.6, but will not connect via internet explorer.
I want to uninstall and re-install the router. How do I uninstall the router? (I have instruction for re-installation). Also AOL rep told me, to make sure I configure the router to a certain port range. Any ideas as to how to do this?
Anyone have problems with AOL high speed and linksys router? Has the high speed cable cord coming out of the wall, not ethernet or DSL.
We have changed the settings in http://192.168.1.1 till I am blue in the face. None of the channels worked, security didn't work, adding the ip address manually to the laptop didn't work. I am getting no error messages. Am trying to get this wireless modem working because I need it. Should have come to this forum first!

hi..if you want to uninstall the router...the only thing you need to do is hold the reset button down for 30 seconds...
i m a bit confused here as to why the ISP techs asked you to forward ports on the router...port forwarding is needed for a specific application or a device that is behind the router....
the mentioned ports are for AOL messenger ( AIM )....and has nothing to do with the modem...anyways , let us work out together on this issue...carry out the steps i mention and you can revert back with the results and your success rate...
1) connect the computer to the modem and check what ip address you have on the computer ??
2) go to start -> control panel -> network connections ->
let me know what other icons you have besides Local Area Connection and Wireless Network Connection..
3)connect the computer to the router and the router to the modem...
access the router using http://192.168.1.1 .. let the internet connection type be on DHCP....check the ip address on the status page of the router ui...
4) if it is 0.0.0.0 , go to setup tab and go to mac address clone subtab , enable it and hit clone..save the settings and do a power cycle...
5) check whether you have the ip address...if you have the same ip as coming off of the modem..u should be online and if still 0.0.0.0 , then select PPPoE for the internet connection type and enter the username and password...check whether the ip address comes up....if still negative, ensure that the modem is in bridge mode...
6)if the ip address comes up as 192.168.1.x , change the local ip add of the router to 192.168.2.1 and do a power cycle..
let me know for any help !!!

Macbook will connect to wireless but not the internet

My Macbook will connect to my wireless but will not follow through and connect to the internet.
I have checked the wireless setup with my iPhone and the iPhone has no problems getting on the internet.
I have checked with Network Diagnostics and cannot get green lights on the last 2 issues.
I have checked firewall settings and even reduced the level of firewall, still no joy.
I have checked the hardware with the startup disk, all hardware is OK.
Short of a complete reinstall, what else can I do to get my Macbook back on the internet.

I've got a late spring 2009 macbook, time capsule networked with an airport express extending my network. My Iphone never loses it's connection to the network. My Macbook has been dropping daily from the network. The only solution I found was physically disconnecting the time capsule and modem and restarting. This worked but was getting annoying, so I rang Apple.
They told me to go to system preferences, network, location, edit locations, add a location which comes up untitled, then click on assist and keep pressing continue, select your network and enter password. I was told to monitor the situation, but this solution should help.
Tonight my macbook dropped off the network. I went through the above solution and it reconnected, I didn't have to disconnect any of my devices. It's not ideal, but I reckon apple will release an update soon that fixes this internet drop out, reckon an automator every time internet drops using their solution solves the problem...not that i've made one.

Can connect to network but not internet. Please Help!!!!!!!!!

I have a Thinkpad T-60p and have encountered a serious problem; I am unable to connect to the internet. The Thinkpad will recognize and connect to wireless networks but when I go to actually open a webpage it does not open. I spent hours troubleshooting the problem to no avail. My other laptop connects to the internet fine, so I do not think it is an issue with my router or modem. I also went to my neighbors and I was unable to connect to the internet even though I could connect to his network; once again my second computer does not have a problem. I tried what I could in the Thinkvantage wireless software but I am not that familiar with it. When I use the test connection option it just reads, “unable to connect to internet” but I have a strong signal to my network. I then tried a wired connection directly to my cable modem and my neighbors; once again it showed that I have a connection, but still will not connect to the internet. I tried disabling my Firewall and Virus software and still could not connect. I have shutdown, unplugged and reset everything. I still receive the same results. I am not sure what has happened, I have not installed any new software or hardware recently. The computer has been working great up until this morning. I ran my virus software and a free online scan as well, nothing had been detected. I called tech support and they said it was a software issue to either pay $100 for help or post in the forum. The only other option I can think of is a complete systems restore, which I am trying to avoid. Anyone have any suggestions?
Please Help,
P.

I will try that when I get home from work, thank you for the advice. However,I did notice that when it attempts to connect it shows the IP Address in the IE window bottom left corner. In the past it would always read connecting to "website name" but since the problem started it shows the IP address instead of the actual name.

WRTG54S Connect to network but not internet

I have a WRTG54S and Mediacom 12mbps. My router worked fine on my old laptop (a Dell running Vista) It sat in a box for about 6 months and now that I have a new one (Sony running 7) I can connect to my network but not the internet. I have upgraded the firmware from 7.6 to 7.8 with no change. I have tried no security, wep, and wap with no change. I also cloned the MAC, again no change. Windows cannot detect any problems and when I try to enable the router to connect to the internet it always says connection failed. I can connect when directly wired to the modem but not when wired to the router or wirelessly. Any ideas? Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Wire your computer directly to your modem, open a command prompt window and enter "ipconfig /all". Post the full output. That will show what kind of modem you have and what the best configuration for your WRT should be.

One wifi spot my iPhone connects to wifi but not internet. All other devices connect to internet.

My iPhone connects to wifi just fine. When it does it connects to the internet just fine except in one location. My house. My MacBook Pro, my wife's iPhone and her iPad get on the internet there just fine. My Iphone's IP address it begins with a 10. At my house it occasionally will connect to the internet through wifi but I leave wifi off there because it is so intermitent.
Any suggestions?
I have not seen this problem addressed.

Can you ping a website using either Network Utility or Terminal?
