Safari claiming I am not connected to the internet....

This could possibly be a wireless internet issue, but I'm leaning more toward it being something wrong with Safari:
Usually, late at night when I am browsing the internet, the website I'd been using successfully already will stop loading and the "you are not connected to the internet" page will appear. I can reload multiple times getting the same error message. I'll navigate to another site on my favorites bar and that site works. Then a different site and that one won't. There is not pattern to which ones won't load and when, and if I quit Safari and reopen, it often starts to work again.
I think it is Safari because I figured if something was wrong with my wireless internet, it would restrict my access to all of the internet in general, not just random sites.
Should I delete Safari and reinstall? Also, how would I properly uninstall Safari?

Hi,
Open System Preferences / Network. Click the "Assist Me" button then click the Diagnostics button.
If any of the buttons on the left are red, click Continue. If all of the buttons are green, try different DNS.
Back to System Preferences / Network then click the Advanced button then select the DNS tab.
Click +
Type in these numbers exactly as you see them here: 208.67.222.222
Click + again and type in these numbers: 208.67.220.220
Click OK then Apply.

Best to troubleshoot the current copy of Safari you have installed then reinstalling.
Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any Extensions installed, turn that OFF. Something there might be interferring with your internet connection.
Follow the troubleshooting help here if you have any Safari third party unsupported plug ins installed.

Wi-fi is connected but safari and mail say "not connected to the internet" and "check outgoing server"

When I try to connect to safari, I receive the notice "safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet". I get a similar message when i attempt to open any of my three mail accounts, which I have since deleted and tried to reset. The message is something along the lines of "cannot open account - check outgoing mail server..."
I am using the same wi-fi address I've always used. The ipod shows that it is connected to the server and should not be having problems.
I've already done a network reset, twice. Other computers in my house work just fine. This was a spontaneous issue that began two days ago. Again, it's affecting both mail and safari (that includes itunes store, maps, anything internet based, really - it says "cannot connect")
Thanks.

I am using a MacBook Air connected to my home WiFi and the connection is trouble free. When I try to connect my 3G iPhone to the same network it asks for my password to join and then shows the WiFi connection with full bars BUT when I launch Safari on the iPhone is says:
"Cannot Open Page"
"Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet"
I went to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings ... and this did not help
I went to Setting > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings ... and this did not help
I checked the DNS settings under Wi-Fi > my home network > DHCP and the address there (192.168.10.1) matched the number on my MacBook Air under "Network Preferences"
Safari on my iPhone was working flawlessly with Wi-Fi connection only 24 hours ago.

Ipad 2 safari says I'm not connected to the internet

i have put a microsim into my ipad and it has a 3G network. Every time I try to open to the net using safari it tells I'm not connected to the internet, but I am. I'm not sure what's going on. It's fine in wi-fi areas. I don't have wifi at home so I use the sim. But it won't connect properly.

This may be on the carrier-side of the problem. Contact your 3G provider to see if they have a solution to this situation.

Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
Then restart your iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down 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 didn't help, try this support article > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

HT4623 My Mac & iPad recognizes my wifi but the Safari says I'm not connected to the internet why

My Mac & ipad both reconizes my wifi but when I tried to get on the internet, Safari says I'm not connected, why?

My iPad 2 is connected to wireless, but safari says it's not connected to the internet

My wife went on a trip and took our iPad 2 with her. While she was gone, I had to replace our wireless router (we use AT&T U-Verse). Wireless works fine on my iMac and on my iPhone 4, but not on the iPad. I've put in the correct wireless information (Settings says it's connected to the wireless), but I can't connect to the internet. I've tried updating the software, as well as rebooting my iPad. Suggestions????

Here are several things that you can try that might help.
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.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Check Settings>General>Date &Time>Set Automatically>On.
Reset your router by unplugging it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again.

Switcher found "You are not connected to the Internet" message confusing

While demonstrating to my brother - a long-time Windows user - that an iMac solved all the problems with Windows XP that he is constantly complaining about to me, he saw Safari's "You are not connected to the Internet" message when the web server for the page didn't respond very quickly. (There wasn't any network problem, or anything wrong with Safari. MacOS or the iMac.) Clicking the 'Reload current page' button brought the web page up. He was angry, saying that the iMac was clearly connected to the Internet as he'd seen me plug in the network cable! He's using this as one of his reasons that "PCs are superior to Macs"!
While I think this is probably a bit of "I don't want to admit that I've been wrong" coming from him (his Windows system has been riddled with malware several times, despite him having kept up to date with Windows updates, using the Windows firewall, a broadband router with firewall, and having tried several anti-virus suites!), I must admit that he has a (limited!) point.
Couldn't the developers cause Safari to display the message "The web page you have requested is not immediately available, still trying - please wait." instead and then, if the web page cannot be displayed after (say) three minutes, and some kind of autromatic diagnostics show that the system still has a network connection, the message "That web page is apparently not available." Only if behind-the-scenes diagnostics show that the Mac has lost its network connection should one ever see the "You are not connected to the Internet" message, in my opinion.
MacBook 1 etc Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I have the same problem; if I leave the computer on long enough (usually asleep overnight), when I wake it up, Safari will present the "You are not connected to the Internet" message for any page, and Mail will display the exclamation-point-in-a-triangle for all accounts that says it's offline. Yes, Software Update also complains of a "network problem."
Meanwhile, Firefox or SSH sessions via Terminal will work fine, and both network diagnostics and System Preferences claim that the machine is, indeed, connected just fine with an IP lease and everything. This is over a wired Ethernet connection, and, yes, I've tried swapping the cable between the Mac Pro's two jacks.
I'm a long-time Mac user. I've fixed disk permissions; I've flushed Safari's cache; I've done everything described here. Rebooting always fixes the problem -- but it then recurs when the machine has sat or slept for long enough.
Since Safari and Mail are both affected, while Firefox and shell connections are not, it seems fairly clear it must be a bug in some part of the OS relating to both those Internet products. It doesn't cripple the machine, but it's definitely inconvenient, which is not what I expect from Apple products.

"You are not connected to the internet" with a green light on Airport

Using airport extreme with my MacBook, The airport shows a steady green light, but I cannot connect to the internet and my Safari shows "You are not connected to the internet".
I tried getting a direct connection, but didn't work, I will be taking my MacBook to have it checked tomorrow.
I called my ISP, thought had to do with my DSL modem, but it works fine with a direct connection to the PC.
I have my network checked with a check mark beside it.
Any help?

For future references, I have come to solve my own problem and I'm now on line.
After I reset my DSL modem, I went into my System Preferences, Network, then Sharing.
Clicked on Internet tab, and chose " Share your connection using Airport".
In my Airport Options, I checked the inputs to make sure the settings match.
And viola, I'm online and 2 floors away from my Airport Extreme.
Hope this comes in handy for future users.
I'm still going to get my Ethernet card checked tomorrow.

Safari cant open the page because its not connected to the internet

iPhone 3g connected to my wifi at home just fine for first 3 weeks, now wont connect and getting error message "safari cant open the page because its not connected to the internet" Signal strength is excellent, other wireless devices are connecting fine.
Ive reset network settings, modem and router but still getting error messages.

Hey man, I have this same problem and it all started with 2.0.2. This is the worst update Apple could have given us. I love Apple products, and I loved my iPhone 3G until this update. I think 2.0.2 has caused more bugs than it claims to have fixed. Safari doesn't work anymore (3G or WI-FI) and I can barely pick up 3G unless I'm outside or near a window (whereas before 2.0.2 I could get 3G even in the underground tunnels of my university campus). My iPhone is no fun anymore and actually pointless, I might as well revert back to my original RAZR v.3, at least that thing worked as it was designed to.
I hope Apple issues a new update that just cancels out 2.0.2 and reverts back to 2.0.1....that one worked absolutely fine (at least I got no crashes of any kind with that version).

What do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet

what do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet. i have contacted apple support and they said to change from wep to wpa2 but when i change it to wpa2 and type in password and connect on my laptop it says the saved setting on this computer for the network do not match the require ments of the network

My 2nd gen works fine with WPA2 and AES encryption.
You may need to go back and start over. Reset the router back to factory defaults, log on as the admin, set up security, DHCP, and make sure the IP address pool has enough IP addresses to lease to ALL of the computers/devices that will connect to that the router.

My iPhone 5c won't connect to home internet. I have an Actiontec router and my phone shows that I'm connected but no IP address comes up on my phone and Safari and other Apps state that I'm not connected to the internet.

I recently purchased an iPhone 5c and for some unknown reason I can't connect to my wireless router's network at home. I've tried establishing a seperate IP address, manually adding the iPhone device, and even spent an hour with Centurylink's IT support and they couldn't figure it out. They said it was an iPhone error. I had an iPhone 3 about 1 1/2 years ago that had the same problem. I ended up getting rid of the phone because I couldn't solve this problem before. I thought a newer phone would not have the same problem.
My phone shows that I'm connected to my home internet, but when I open up network information for my home internet there is no IP Address listed. Safari and my other apps also state that I'm not connected to the internet. I'm ready to sell my phone back and go to an Android since I didn't have trouble connecting with it before. We also have a Macbook and iPad that both connect to the internet just fine. Please....oh please help.

I was having the same problem; I tried all the recommended fixes in the "more like this" and nothing worked, but finally found the answer. Try this: http://themiddleofthestreet.blogspot.com/2013/11/if-your-iphone-5s-wont-connect- to-wifi.html

Safari works great on my iMac, but not so well on my Macbook Pro since upgrading to Lion. I get a message that I am not connected to the internet when I try to open a webpage even though the wireless icon at the top of my screen shows I am connected.

Since upgrading to Lion I am having problems with Safari on my Macbook Pro. I am using wifi to access the internet and the internet works in all other application except for Safari. When I try to access a webpage most times I get a error message saying I am not connected to the internet. If I click on diagnose the problem, I get connect again to the internet through the diagnostic process and the webpage generally works. This is not a problem when wired to the internet.

Check your network settings, in particular the advanced setting "DNS Server". If it is by chance 127.0.0.1, make sure to change is and use a know DNS Server (from Google for example, or your own Router local address).

My ipad 2 appears to be connected to the internet(all bars are up in the left hand corner).....yet I cannot connect to the internet(Safari cannot connect open the page because it is not connected to the internet)
I unplugged my router for 30 seconds and restarted my ipad...still nothing

Are there any suggestions that can help solve this problem?

Usually it's because you are not making internet connection via wifi.
Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

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.

HT4199 What does it mean when I click on my wifi name and the bars come up but the network keeps thinking and the ipad says safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet. ?

What does it mean when I click on my wifi name and it show I'm on my wifi, but the network keeps thinking and the ipad says, Safari cannot open this page because it is not connected to the internet. ?

When you click on the WiFi network name, have you also provided the password for accessing the network? You should get a dialogue box asking you for the security information the first time you connect.
If you are not able to connect, you might want to go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings.
Then go back to Settings > WiFi and select your network name again and make sure the security information is now entered correctly.
If you still cannot connect, power down the router, wait a few minutes, power up the router, with the iPad powered down the whole time, and after the router has had several minutes to stabilize power up the iPad. See if it now connects correctly.
