Safari says not connected when it is

My new ipad was working fine until we had a power cut now it is connected to my wifi but is not recognising that it is. i have reset ipad and network settings but still nothing. any ideas?

Have you powered off and then back on your router? Do other devices still work with the router? In settings if you go to the network you think you are connected to what IP address, gateway and DNS servers are specified?

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.
An update: my husband took the iPad to McDonald's to see if he could connect there, and got the same message (Safari could not open the page because it is not connected to the Internet). I'm stumped!

Safari says not connected to internet on certain sites when connection is good and IMG[] images don't show up anymore?

I recently updated to 10.6.8 from 10.5.x and have been having some issues. First, Safari will say that my computer is not connected to the internet, but it is. I can be on YouTube, for example, and then try to go to eBay, and it will say not connected to internet, but I can go to Google and it will be fine without doing anything. Almost like it cannot connect to the server, but the message is that I'm not connected to the internet. I can turn Airport off and back on and get on most pages that wouldn't open originally. It's not site-specific. Sometimes it's Google, Facebook, eBay, YouTube, forums, etc. and other times those same sites work just fine.
The next problem, which I feel is related is that IMG[xxx] images won't open some of the time now on forums that have Photobucket and Tinypic IMG codes inserted into threads. It will just show the blue box with a question mark. I think that's because my Safari can't open the image hosting websites because sometimes when I click on the blue box to open the link, it says not connected to the internet and Photobucket seems to be one of the regular problem sites.
I've tried clearing my cache, reseting Safari, and a few other suggestions on here from similar problems, but I haven't seen a post describing my same issues exactly. I have not tried Firefox and would prefer to keep using Safari.

Try repairing permissions.
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Select: Repair Disk Permissions
This can take a few minutes and better to not use your Mac while it's running.
When it's finished, quit and relaunch Safari to test.

Safari says "not connected to Internet" when launched

First off, I would like to say that these communities are so helpful in assisting me with my glitches. All the feedback and suggestions I receive always help resolved my problem.
Since updating to 10.7.5, I've noticed that when never I startup up my computer,, then open my safari to browse the internet, sometimes I get an error page saying that I am not connected to the Internet. I have an ethernet connection and the green light under network preferences sats i am connected. This doesn't always happen but usually a few times a week. If I restart my machine again it usually connects no probl.
Any advice on what might be happening?
My safari version is 6.0.5.

Safari says not connected to internet- System Prefs does...

OK, I'm not extremely computer savvy, but I'm not totally ignorant either. But I have a network connection problem that I have absolutely no idea what's going on. I have a black MacBook Pro, and am running 10.4.11. I have an airport express at home, and never had any access/connection trouble. Where I work (a university), there is an open network we can access, but for some reason, I cannnot. My airport status indicator shows full strength, and systems prefs gives me the connection is A-OK message with the green light, saying I'm connected to this network, but when I open Safari (or Firefox), it tells me I am not connected to the internet. Another interesting thing is when I open itunes in this situation, it finds shared music libraries on the network, but it will not connect to them. This is the only network I have ever used where this is happening. Also, other people seem to be able to access this network with no trouble with Powerbook G4s. Does anyone have similar problems or any ideas at all on this one?

My guess is that you're not authenticated on the network and, for that, you should talk to the sysops there. Most universities have "open" networks that still require authentication, meaning they're open to the university users but not to everyone.

Connected to network but Safari says not connected

Just had to reinstall OS X and upgraded to 10.4.11
I connect to my FIOS network using Airport, and am having no problems. However, when I attempt to open Safari it says I am not connected to the Internet.
I run diagnostics and the following happens:
it lets me get all the way to selecting an airport network, then does a scan--says it's looking for PPPoE host, unable to find. Tells me to check network settings.
I have tried restarting the Actiontec router with no results. what gives?

I think my son's apt bldg uses FIOS and as I recall he is also PPoE, so PPoE may not be as uncommon as we think, for FIOS.
You should have gotten a letter from your ISP that said what your username and password for your account with the ISP is, to setup for PPoE, whether you are static or DHCP external WAN IP address assignment, etc. Do you still have that letter?
You're not connecting to your computer via ethernet cable directly to your ActionTec right now, correct? You're going wirelessly? If that's the case, can you reconfigure your hardware to connect to your ActionTec via ethernet cable? (Don't forget to change your computer's system prefs network stuff from airport to ethernet DHCP.) And if so, I know you've done so gazillions of times already but if you haven't done so (lately?) while tethered via ethernet cable, try rebooting your router and your computer one more time. I'm trying to figure out whether its a wireless thing, e.g., maybe the wireless isn't turned on in the ActionTec or has MAC authentication enabled and your computer's Airport card's MAC address isn't on the list, or the wireless channel encryption password or algortithm is mismatched, or... So, if we can get in via ethernet cable, we can start rummaging around in your computer's network settings and in your ActionTec's configuration pages.
By the way, how are you posting on this forum? Different computer same network? Or different computer different network?

AirPort says 'connected' but Safari says 'not connected to the internet'

I'm stumped.
I just replaced a failed HD. Installed OS from original disk. Airport shows strong signal and says "connected" but when trying to open Safari or check for software updates I receive a 'you're not connected to the internet' message.
Remember I had upgraded to Snow Leopard, so just installed that from disk as well. Same situation with the attempts to wirelessly connect.
Note - all other computers, smart phones, etc in the house can still connect wirelessly. When I connect the MacBook via the ethernet cable, it's fine. Problem is only with wireless connection.
Service is Verizon Fios. Have tried repeatedly restarting the router.
Any other suggestions?

John,
Yes, I've been running Software Update frequently over the last 24 hours (needed to update all the software on that new HD) said there were no updates at last check. However, followed link you provided above and installed the Combo update.
Was hopeful on initial restart after that install, as I rec'd a message to the effect of: "none of your preferred networks are connected". Selected my home network (which was listed and with strong signal), entered password and same result - not connected to the internet.
Took your advice above and returned to "Using DHCP" setting. Inital response was "no ip address" and then after short time, "self assigned ip address" "will not be able to connect to the internet". Tried "renew DHCP lease" and continually receive same result. All very frustrating.
My next step will be to try and connect wirelessly on a friend or family member's network (my local Apple store is a bit far away. Easier for me to visit the ones near my office during the work week).
If I am able to connect on another's network, does that indicate it's an issue with my router?
If I am UNABLE to connect on another's network, does that indicate it's an issue with my laptop?
This is so disappointing - the replacement of the HD was so easy, as was the reinstalling of software. This connection issue is souring what was a relatively painless and quick experience.
Thank you again,
Christine

IPad is connected to Airport, but Safari says not connected to Internet?

I'm hoping someone can suggest something for me. We had a power outage last night, and when the power came back and I got the Airport working again our iPad won't connect to the internet. I don't think the problem would be in the Airport, since the computer is connected wirelessly also and is connecting OK. I have tried renewing the lease, turning the wi-fi off and back on, forgetting the network and reestablishing the connection, and restarting the iPad, all to no avail. The IP address listed when I look at the iPad settings starts with 169 - from what I've read that means it's not connecting correctly. Is there anything else I can try to get it working?
Thanks in advance for your help!

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

Wifi connected safari says not connected

In settings, wifi is connected, but safari says its not connected, any suggestions? I tried restarting, rebooting, and connecting to lap top and updating. Thanks.

You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

Reboot your router by turning it off or unplugging it from power for about 15 seconds.

PCI wireless card connected to network but safari says not connected to net

Hi everyone
I moved my computer and had to change from wired ethernet to wifi. I installed a ralink PCI card in my MDD G4 dual 867. It sees the network and connects but Safari doesn't know it is on a network. What am I missing? I also have to connect manually every bootup. How do I setup autostart? My wireless router is a D-link DIR-615. Thanks in advance for your help.
Dave

Hi David,
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.

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.

Sometimes I get a message that safari is not connected to Internet while trying to reach a certain web page for work. The onl time shutting it off and on works is when I am at the apple store. Then I will usually get it to work for another day. Is there some other trick

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 is on but when i use safari it says not connected to internet?

I need help with ipad.Internet was working then we watched a video on utube and from then on we get a message saying not connected to internet. home Wi fi is on.

restart the ipad.
hold top power button for 5 seconds, slide to power off. then turn back on.
Resolved? if not, reset network settings. Settings>general>reset>reset network settings
this will wipe out any wi fi connections, and you will need to rejoin the network and re-enter the password.
