Safari is not connecting me to the internet

Safari is not connecting me to the internet.  Any idea why?

It could be any number of things ranging from your ISP's DNS settings, the router being out of date or in need of replacement, a simple software update, the modem, high Wi-Fi traffic in your neighborhood etc or maybe you have a corrupt cache and need to restart in Safe Mode which is where I'd start.

  • After downloading last update itunes and safari will not connect but mozilla and internet explorer does running windows vista

    Itunes and safari will not connect after installing the last update, but mozilla and internet explorer does.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes, and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

    i have a mac os x snow leopard. my problem is that when i go to the ethernet settings it shows 'not connected'. i called the internet person even he couldn't fix it PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    System Preferences > Network > Ethernet? If that shows "not connected" that is all your Mac knows. As far as it is concerned there is no cable connected to the port on your Mac, or the other end of the cable is either disconnected or connected to something that is broken.
    Try another cable. If the cable is broken you will also get that status message. If you have exhausted all of these possibilities, the only remaining cause is an inoperative port on your Mac.

    I frequently get the messages "windows couldn't sign you out" (I am signed out) ,"not connected to in the internet" with prompts to sign in again (I don't) and "you're currently working offline", with a prompt to connect to my own locked wireless. None of these statements are true and I ignore the prompts (although my husband did re-sign on to our router once). I find that if I unplug the phone line and then plug it in again, it works. Strange. Is someone trying to get my password?

  • Can not connect itunes to the internet!

    I have a LAN connection, I have allowed itunes through the firewall, I ran the network connectivity test and it said network connection timed out and it never successfully connected to the internet. I'm not very good with computers, and could really use some help!
    Thanks!

    Try this:
    Head to your Start Menu
    Then click Control Panel located in the right hand menu part.
    Then look for Network & Internet and click on that.
    Then you want to click on Internet settings
    Next, head over to the "Connections" tab
    From there, click LAN Settings at the bottom.
    Make sure, try putting a check mark next to the "Automatically detect settings" or remove it and hit Apply and then try reconnecting to the store.
    If that doesn't help, try flushing the DNS. Instructions on how to do this can be found in the Apple document below. Hope this helps.

  • My airport network will not connect to to the internet via my modem. My host computer is a hp running windows xp. I have had great connection for 3 years. Then suddenly can not connect. Please can you assist

    My airport will not connect to the internet via my modem. Worked for 3 years. Suddenly stopped. Main host computer is hp running windows xp.
    When trying to connect windows states connection was cancelled. I have had hp checked by compputer repair and still have same problem?

    The router is much, much newer than the computer, perhaps some characteristic of the WiFi network as it's currently setup is preventing the computer from connecting.
    Try to go back to the basics: set your WiFi network to "b" mode only (i.e., turn off "g") and termporarily remove the password from it. See if the computer will at least establish a connection at that point. Then start turning on one thing at a time ("g" mode, then security, etc).
    Not sure what format your WEP key is, but if it's not 10 characters (the minimum for the standard, which constitutes a 64-bit key), you can try making it that long. If it's 13 or 26 characters, it might be a higher encryption than the computer can support.
    If all else fails, you could try looking on ebay/craigslist for a copy of Tiger to install on the iMac, which would have software support for more WiFi encryption schemes. Also, it would provide software support for USB WiFi adapters that would also be able to connect to more modern networks.

  • HT3728 i want to use my time capsule for back-ups only and not connect it to the internet

    I live in digs and with perfectly good wi-fi.  Therefore, I simply want to use my Time Capsule for backing up my iMac.  Airport Utility doesn't seem to want to let me do this and insists I connect the unit to the internet first.

    I gave full info for how to do this setup in this thread with screen shots..
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4817218?tstart=30
    Any of it you don't follow just ask.
    The TC is really a complex thing to use, when you don't do it as Apple designed it.. and in fact on your iMac an external drive will be cheaper, faster and more reliable than a TC. But I guess you already have it so may as well use it.

  • IMac Intel Core Duo no longer connects automatically to the internet

    Since the OS 10.4.8 update my iMac will not connect automatically to the internet. It does show that it is hooked to my "preferred" network which is an Airport network but it will not connect to the internet. There are listed solutions but none of them work on my machine and there are others with the same problem. My daughter's iMac Core 2 Duo works just fine as well as my G4 iBook. I've removed all the listed networks from my list and added back the one I want, doesn't work. I made sure that Airport is at the top of the networks to try to hook to, no go. I'm starting this new post because the old one is marked "solved" which it clearly is not. Thanks in advance for any new ideas (actually I'm hoping Apple realizes this is still an issue).

    ive been having problems with my inet. heres what will sometimes work but sometimes not, i wish i could offer a more solid workaround but i think it must come from the experts at apple in the form of a patch or similar software remedy.
    when your inet acts up try this: unplug the power from your modem(i got an actiontec dsl with the lil antenna on back gt701-wg) i leave mine off for 1 minute minimum but that maybe overkill. i turn off my airport then shut down my apple 24". let it stay of a minute too to be on the safe side. i power my modem up and power the computer up. let the lights stop flashing on the modem plug in an ethernet cable from modem to comp and open safari. you may or may not get connected but wait until it either connects or gives you the cannot connect to inet. close safari unplug the ethernet cable. open your airport then wait till you see the black rainbows bars appear in the lil icon. open safari now and it should work. be warned this does not always work consistantly and it might open pages very slowly however it may give you download speeds of up to 700+kbps depending on the site and file size. i just did this to mine 20 minutes ago and it has been working perfectly again(knock on wood) opens pages fast and 5 bars on the rainbow scale without dropping off still. im not saying this is an answer but i hope it helps until a true fix is available. please dont be upset if it sometimes doesnt work because it happens to me like that too. i wish you the luck i had on mine today. happy early tday

  • Safari will not connect to the internet

    Safari will not connect to the internet on both a G5 and a MacBookPro that are routed through the same server.
    All networks settings are good
    DHCP is working

    Hi Duncan
    MacFixit recently posted a report for subscribers testing 3rd party routers for Mac compatibility. 3 Routers did not do very well in the test:
    From their report:
    Routers:
    MacSense [Fair]
    Expressed support for Macs
    Somewhat confusing process for installing firmware updates under Mac OS X
    Manuals still show only Mac OS 9 screenshots/instruction
    D-Link [Fair]
    Mac-specific section on Web site with ostensibly compatible routers
    Lack of Mac technical support
    Firmware updates appear to apply specifically to Windows-related issues
    Mac-specific "Quick Install" guides missing for most wireless router models -- even those listed in the Mac section
    Some routers must be configured only with Firefox or an alternative browser -- Safari will not work
    Reader comment: "I recently exchanged email with their tech support and was specifically informed that D-Link does not support Macs for any of their products and specifically does not recommend their use on Macs. Although many D-Link products will work on a Mac, as a user you are on your own. D-Link will not provide any direct or indirect support according to their tech support."
    Linksys [Poor]
    Technically Mac-compatible but lacking in Mac-specific documentation or setup software
    No Mac technical support
    Thought this info might be useful as you look into your router situation.

  • TS1398 my problem is my iphone 4s is connected to the internet(wi-fi) with full signal strength but freezes when browsing and says "Cannot Open Page, Safari could not open page because the server stopped responding".

    my problem is my iphone 4s is connected to wi-fi with full signal(3 bars) strength but freezes when browsing and says
    "Cannot Open Page"
    "Safari could not open page because the server stopped responding"
    I already reset the iphone to its factory settings and erase all contents but still the browsing speed freezes or not searching at all. Sometimes it will work and fast but then the problem uccors every now and then. Iv'e been using iphone 4 for two years and I still have it and works fine compared to this IPHONE 4S.

    Settings → scroll down to Safari → in Safari settings, I selected both Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data.
    IF that does not work -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Finally - if problem still present -
    Go to Settings>General>Reset
         Reset the network settings - you will need to add the password of your home WiFi in your phone once more
    The device should turn itself off & back on then go into Settings>Wifi and join your network

  • My Safari Icon ( Button) is missing in my iMac after I downloaded a update. How can I get the icon back on my desktop and connecting again to the Internet ?...

    My Safari Icon ( Button) is missing on my iMac after I downloaded a update. How can I get the icon  (Button Safari) back on my desktop and connecting again to the Internet ?...
    Thanks for the help    

    Often when people think they've deleted an application, what's really happened is that they deleted its icon from the Dock. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Applications
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. If the application is in that folder, drag it to the Dock (not to the Desktop or anywhere else.) The other Dock icons will move out of the way to make a place for it.

  • Sometimes I get a message that says that safari is not connected to the web when I trie to get to a particular website. However, it will let me go other places on th web. The only time shutting it off and on again works is when I am at the apple store.

    Hello Theresa818,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like the cellular data will not activate for some reason on the iPad.
    I found this article that will help you resolve this issue here, named iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular Models): Troubleshooting a cellular data connection, found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4249
    Check for a carrier settings update.
    Update your iPad.
    Toggle the Cellular Data setting off and on under Settings > Cellular Data.
    Restart your iPad.
    Tap Settings > General > About. Locate the Carrier entry and make sure that your carrier is correct.
    If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try turning it off: Tap Settings > Cellular Data > SIM PIN.
    Make sure you're in an area of good coverage. If the cellular data connection works in another area, contact your carrier to report the original affected area.
    Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Restore the iPad as new.
    If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, contact your carrier, or contact AppleCare to troubleshoot further.
    I know you may have done one or two of the steps here, so you can skip those.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Wi fi showsonnected but safari says not connected to internet

    wi fi shows connected but safari says not connected to internet.

    I forgot to mention that, but I have done that as well.

  • My safari icon vanished from my desk top in a puff of smoke.  I can not gain access to the internet

    I believe I might have accidentally deleted my Safari icon from off my desktop.  I can not gain access to the internet even from a link off an email.  How do I make safari active again?

    1. Finder > Applications > Safari
       Try launching Safari from Application folder.
    2. If this doesn't help, reinstall OS X.
