Safari says I'm not connected, when I really am.

Has anyone ever had this problem? I'm loading a page when my internet goes out, so I get the message that I can't access the page because I'm not connected to the internet (Facebook, for example). So when my internet comes back, and I reload Facebook, I still get the same message that it cannot connect to Facebook because I'm not connected to the internet. Furthermore, if I go to another site, like ESPN, and then try going back to Facebook, it AGAIN says I cannot load Facebook because I'm not connected to the internet (even though I have an active connection).

HI,
Somehow someway your reply got deleted. Would you mind replying one more time with the info re your internet connections... so sorry. It was there one second and gone the next.
Here are the suggestions I made before...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
If you have Safari 3rd party plugins or Input Managers go here for trouble shooting.

If you are running Safari in 64 bit mode, try running in 32-bit mode instead. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. *Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*
~/Library/Cookies and move the Cookies.plist file to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.
This just came through my e-mail notification but not here... I will notify a moderator prompt.
*"I use an AT&T Gateway router. The service, I believe, is high speed DSL. What's funny is that it just happened again while trying to post this reply. :/"*
Try disconnecting the router for about 5 minutes from it's power source then turn it back on... do the same for your Mac. See if that helps.
Also, go to Safari/Preferences - Security and deselect: Warn when visiting a fraudulent website

  • 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?

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

  • Ethernet is 'connected' BUT safari says 'you are not connected'...?

    Hello, I am baffled. I am helping my Mum and Dad's to set up their new iMac. All OK bar the connection to the Internet.
    They have a new Broadband account with the ISP 'Talk Talk' (I know they are not necessariliy the best!). It is a DSL connection and I am using the 'Built in Ethernet' as the link to the Ethernet port of the SmartAX 882 Modem, as supplied by the ISP. In networking the Built in Ethernet is showing blue - "you are connected to the internet", Yet when I load Safari it does not connect and the page "your computer is not connected to the internet" comes up after a couple of minutes.
    The modem 'link' light is steady green and the LAN light shows solid amber. I have added and saved the settings in the modem many times. The ISP support folks have said that the link light should go solid amber though this does not happen. I have rebboted and reconnected all the kit many times - still no joy.
    So, any idea where the problem may be? is it the modem settings? is it the network settings?
    PS: I have tried typing in the IP adress of a web page (e.g. http://17.254.70.0.91 etc..) to check whether there is a problem with DNS server settings, though no page loads.
    Many thanks folks - any help on this would be appreciated.

    Hi iGraham!
    I have no familiarity with that setup, but the problem sounds similar to some who use the wrong port on the router.
    Perhaps you can find a specific answer to your problem in this forum
    edit-
    An alternative resolution to using a different router port would be to setup the Network panel of System Preferences with a LAN configuration instead of with an Ethernet configuration. After clicking on the "Assist me..." button, instead of clicking on the "Diagnostics..." button, click on the blue "Assistant..." button and then choose a LAN connection rather than ethernet. The result will be that you will end up with an entirely new "Location" rather than just another edit of your current "Location" - then to change from one "location" to another switch the "Location:" selector and hit the "Apply Now" button to avoid making unnecessary edits. Once you've switched the location and "applied" it, you'll see that your other settings are different than the ones necessary to make your original "Location" work.

  • Safari says I'm not connected to Internet-Airport says I am w/good signal

    I've moved. I am using AT&T DSL as Internet Service Provider. My PC/Base station is running VIsta Home. The Base station router is LINKSYS Wireless-G Microsoft Broadband. It's all interfaced beautifully before with my iMac and MacBook Pro.
    Since the move, However, I've had a problem. The "Internet Connect" on my MacBook Pro shows I am connected to Linksys. The signal strength has all bars lighted blue. The tool bar "fan" has also bars black. However, when I click on Safari the display reads 'Safari cannot open the page because you are not connected to the internet." The PC Base station (from which I am writing this note)is on the Internet using the AT&T DSL connection, and apparently the MacBook Pro reads the wireless signal, too. Never had this happen before to any wifi signal with my MacBook Pro...any ideas what is causing the conflicting reports? Thanks.

    Hi, a few ideas...
    Go to System Preferences
    Click Network
    Highlight AirPort and click Configure...
    Choose “By default, join: Preferred networks”
    Select your access point and Remove your access point with the minus button.
    Launch your keychain access in Utilities and delete your access point keychain entry.
    Reboot
    Go back to the “By default, join:” page and click the plus this time to add your access point. Enter the correct password, save, reboot.
    Open System Preferences>Network>Configure>Proxies Tab, make sure none are set, like for HTTP & HTTPS.
    Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106653
    Another thing that has worked for many is to just copy/duplicate that Location in Network>Location>Edit Locations..., then use that one.
    The Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON.
    Then... Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Then Apply
    DNS Servers are a bit like Phone books where you look up a name and it gives you the phone number, in our case, you put in apple.com and it comes back with 17.149.160.49 behind the scenes.
    These Servers have been patched to guard against DNS poisoning, and are faster/more reliable than most ISP's DNS Servers.

  • 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.

  • Messenger says i'm not connected when I am and won't open

    Hi, I don't know if it's because I don't have internet at home, but I usually am able to connect with FireWire to the net and everything works fine, except for Messenger. When I log in, a pop up appears saying that my log in did not work ''because the service is not available or you may not be connected to the internet.'' Yet I am connected to the net. How do I fix this problem so I can actually go and chat with my contacts? Any ideas? Thanks.

    Try:
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    Next, try doing a manual install/update using the instructions here:

  • 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.

  • Safari says I'm not connected to internet

    This sometimes happens, I can access my e-mail and I am connected, but I still get this message.
    Does anyone know why this would happen?

    Power off the router. Wait awhile. Power it back on. Wait until all the lights are lit up properly.
    It will take a while.   Restart the computer.
    Start up in Safe Mode

  • Halfway through the OS X Yosemite update it says I am not connected to the internet (when I know I am because I can search through the app store). How can I fix this? I cannot get on Safari because it requires an update to Mac OS X 10.9 or later.

    Halfway through the OS X Yosemite update it says I am not connected to the internet (when I know I am because I can search through the app store). How can I fix this? I cannot get on Safari because it requires an update to Mac OS X 10.9 or later.

    Just to be clear. You have downloaded the Yosemite installer. However you say while it's updating you get the error you are not online. This is confusing since you shouldn't be able to use your computer in the process of updating.
    Exactly where do you see you need to 10.9 to get on Safari?
