Says connected to internet but won't work!

My curve 8520 says it is connected to my mobile network and my wi-fi but fails to load any internet pages or the facebook app. However, I have just successfully received an e-mail... help!

Hi there!
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your wireless service provider for formal support.
Good luck!

We use an Airport Extreme in my office, which works fine for me. Occasionally we need to have more than one computer running on it, but for some reason it won't connect to the internet. It says we have internet, but won't connect to wifi. What's going on?

I use my computer everyday in our office and have no issue connecting to the internet/wifi, but when my boss comes in and tries to connect it doesn't work. It tells her she has internet, but won't connect to the wifi. We've tried a few different tactics(the basic ones I've seen on here), but nothing seems to be working for us. My computer automatically connects to our wifi.
Just recently the Airport Extreme has started with the blinking amber colored light on the front, which I believe means something is wrong? Can anyone help us figure out what's going on and why we can't get my boss' computer to connect as it should?
Thank you!

Here's an update:
Now the light is not blinking. It's a solid, consistant green. I don't know if it helps to narrow it down or anything, but I just figured I'd mention it.

TS4079 siri keeps saying connect to internet: but I am connected?

I have turned Siri both off/on several times. I am also connected to internet, but everytime I use Siri it says please connect to internet

I have Norton Internet Security 2005 and have not had problems except with CDDB with a proxy server.
Assuming you are using the Norton forewall, but something should work with other firewalls.
As suggested, try turning off NIS briefly and see if you can connect then. If you can try the following:
Make sure you have all updates.
Go in to the firewall settings - configure programs.
Delete references to itunes and quicktime. You may find them listed under Apple.
Restart the computer.
Then go into the firewall and manually configure these programs:
In Program Files\iTunes - iTunes.exe and iTunesHelper.exe
In Program Files\Quicktime - QuicktimePlayer.exe, qttask.exe and QTInfo.exe.
In fact for me the automatic configuration worked fine, but doing it manually seems to have worked for some people.
Another thing that can cause connectivity problems, go into Internet Explorer Tools>Internet Options>Connextions>LAN Settings and make sure that "Automatically detect settings" is checked.

How can you disable it?
Well anyways, sounds like it's in recovery mode. You'll need to perform a restore through iTunes on the computer.

My Macbook connects to Internet but won't open webpage

Thanks in advance for reading this. My Macbook shows various Airport connections but hasn't worked for a while unless it is directly plugged into my modem. I just set up a new modem and connect via Airport. The Airport signal shows that it is strong and connected, but I cannot open a web page. Any ideas? I'm not sure of my operating system--I bought this mac in June and I know I don't have the fancy new one. Thanks so much.

Your post is confusing. Your airport can show many signals but that doesn't mean you're on any of those networks - which should require entering some sort of password. Where I'm sitting now, my airport icon shows 9 networks of which 7 are locked and I'm on one and haven't tried the other that might be open. You need to join a network, which you can do by selecting that option from the drop down menu - if you know the password. (You can also open the Network system preference.)
The version of the OS doesn't matter much, though what the airport drop down menu shows will be different from 10.4 to 10.5.
In other words, it sounds as though you're confusing having a wireless signal with being connected to the wireless network and thus to the internet.

Airport Shows Connected to Internet, but won't actually connect...

My wife is having trouble connecting to the internet on her Macbook Pro and I've tried everything I can think of to get it corrected, but nothing has worked yet. The airport wireless signal shows that she is connected to the interest and has full bars, but she is not able to access the internet or check her email (through mac mail). She is right now out of state, but has not been able to access the internet in the two places where she is (the interest is working because everyone else around her is accessing it fine).
I've done the following to try and correct this so far, with no luck:
- turned airport off, then back on after 10 seconds
- fully shutdown the computer, then restarting
- renewed DHCP Lease
- checked proxies to make sure nothing is selected
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? She has not downloaded or installed any new programs or even used the laptop in the last 48 hours. I've heard of this happening to people before, but the above solutions have not worked to fix this.
Many thanks in advance!

Sync says not connected to Internet so won't work

I hope somebody can help!
Just upgraded to Desktop Manager 5 from version 4. All went well - in fact a painless update of all my software, too, which was WONDERFUL.
However, I cannot sync my current data (it restored the previous sync when updating software) as whenever I start the Sync process I get a message saying, "Your computer must be connected to the Internet to perform the operation. Please ensure you are able to connect to the Internet and try again." No matter how often I push the Retry button, all I get is the same message and the Sync won't run.
The problem here is that I AM connected to the Internet (in fact, the device software check works fine) and all other programs that use the Internet (including Outlook) are running perfectly. How can I get the software to recognise that I'm connected? I really need to sync my contacts, etc., etc. from Outlook...
Many thanks
Guy

IPhone keeps saying connect to iTunes but won't restore what should I do?

I bought a 5C and it was working fine, but needed an update and had the person I bought the phone off had their iCloud still on. I asked them for the password but as he didn't know me he said he didn't trust me so I looked online and it said to force it to restore I should put it in DFU mode then plug it in to iTunes and it will restore. Now it just displays a iTunes logo (in red) and a lightning cable and arrow. Basically telling me to plug the phone into iTunes but i do and it won't restore, i try to restore it and it says error 1, 3,18 or 2006. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! What should I do?

Hello jxshurobinson,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPhone. If you are having issues restoring your iPhone and are just seeing the Connect to iTunes screen, you may find the following articles helpful:

If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Also, from your description, it sounds like the phone may have still been Activation Locked to the previous owner's account. If that is the case, you may also find this article useful:

IPhone connects to WiFi but won't work.

Ever since I got my iPhone 4, it connects to the WiFi but it won't do things using WiFi so I usually end up using 3G. But this only happens at my house. I works perfectly on the bus and at school. Same thing happens to my sister's iPhone 4 and recently we had guests over and I connected one of them to the WiFi and she had the same problem (iPhone 4) My dad has an iPhone 5 and I'm pretty sure it works perfectly for him. Please help. I've tried everything. Forgetting the network, resetting my phone, restoring my phone. Any suggestions please?

Seems to be a problem with your WiFi router.
If your iPhone can not access the internet using WiFi, due to low signal strength, low internet speed, router overload, or perhaps a wrong router setting (child safety lock, firewall?), it automatically accesses the internet using 3G.
You just have to find the error...
Good luck ;-)

Connected to internet but won't open browsers

My 2006 Macbook is having issues connecting to the internet. I've both at home and at work using wifi and hard wiring.
Mail will open; send and recieve e-mail. However chrome and safari won't connect to any pages. It keeps timing out the connection.
I've done diagnositcs and the laptop connects to the internet. I've also checked the proxies.
Any suggestions? Currently running 10.7.5

It may be a DNS issue. In the address bar, enter just the following:
173.194.73.99
and hit enter
That's the direct IP address for one of Google's servers. If it's just a DNS issue, that should still take you directly to Google's home page. It's easy enough to fix if that's the case, but I'd rather not get into it until you can confirm if the above works.

Connected to internet but will not work.

Hello friends i have gotten an iphone from a friend yesterday. I have yet to get it activated so im just using it on wifi for now. turned it on connected it to my home wifi and had no issues smooth sailing. I later that night went out to eat and connected to the wifi at Friday's, the place we went to eat. It made me connect to their wifi and for every app that i opened like snapchat, twtitter and instagram it opened what seemed to be a web browser page. and on the page it made me click accept to what seemed to just be a simple * agree to connect to our wifi etc. etc.* so i did and again everything went fine i could use the wifi perfectly.
now the issue that i'm having is i came home and try to open twitter, instagram and snapchat again and a message comes up saying
"Could not Connect" please check your connection and try again.
i'm not sure if what i did at dinner last night with their wifi has anything to do with the issue i'm having now but it seems to be to much of a coincidence that i had no issues, do all that for their wifi come home and am now having issues. but i CAN use safari on the iphone but for EVERY website i attempt to go to while connecting to the webpage and before finishing brings up a message saying
"Cannot Verify Server Identity" safari cannot verify the identity of "www.google.com". would you like to continue anyway?
with the options of Cancel, Details or Continue if i click continue it loads the page but what seems to be a broken version of the page i'm looking to connect to.
any help would be great i hope i put in enough detail i tried not to miss anything so i can get the best input from you friends i'm all ears!

No, it shouldn't have any effect at all. There is such a thing as a coincidence.
Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? If that doesn't work, try Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. I will delete all of your saved WiFi passwords but nothing else.

Apple TV connects to internet but won't log into iTunes or show any icons

I have had my apple tv for just over a year, updating it with the most recent software all of the time. I recently moved across the country, and have since had trouble with my unit. I use my time capsule for creating a wireless network within my home, and it works fine for all of my other devices, so I know the problem is with the Apple TV.
When I tried connecting my apple tv it never left the Activation screen, so after an hour I skipped it and went to manual setup. The internet is connected fine, but when I go to turn on home sharing or sign into my itunes, it either tells me my login is invalid (not true becuase it works on all other apple devices) or that itunes is unavailable. I tried to reset the unit to its factory settings but was told, again, that it could not connect to the apple network. I went out and purchased a cord to connect my apple tv to my computer and did the restore that way, but still have had no luck. When I reconnected it, all that showed up again was the computers and settings buttons and there was no hope of connection to itunes or home sharing.
Six hours later, I have done everythng from unplugging the time capsule, using another internet network, changing tvs, unplugging my apple tv, setting my location, etc and NOTHING works. I'm ready to scream. I'm a devout apple coustomer but I think its outrageous that beause something is wrong with their system I should have to pay for them to help me. Does anyone have any tips?! I'm desperiate.
Oh, there is no apple store within an hour of where I am, so going in to get help is not an option.

Connected to internet but won't connect to imessage.

Hi
The wi-fi service provider is imagine and e-mail, surfing the web all works fine. When i try to hook up imessage the ipod seems to search for ages and then states there might be a problem with my connection; even though i can still downlaod apps, e-mail and use the web. I read that i need to change my DSN number to 8888 and then try to re-connect. Once i do this i go back into DNS and put back in the original number!!!!!!
Does anyone know the solution and if i do need to change my DNS# connection what effect will this have on other applications.
thanks

It may be a DNS issue. In the address bar, enter just the following:
173.194.73.99
