Status says Airport is connected to network and internet but can't get on!

I just moved to the UK and got (cable) broadband service via Virgin Media. Thought plugging in the Airport Express would be as simple as it was in the US. The cable modem definitely works (I've plugged the ethernet straight into the computer and am online. But when I plug the ethernet from modem to airport, despite the Network status saying that "Airport is connected to [my] network. You are connected to the internet via Airport" and the "green light" is on on the Express, I can't get online at all! Can anyone help me with this?!?

I was writing a response that said I had a similar problem - and then I had a brain-wave while typing it up.
slbyum, try this: in your Airport Admin Util, configure your base-station, and turn DHCP IP address distribution OFF (deselect it under the Network tab). If your cable modem is like mine, it initially handles it's own DHCP, and then hands the IP assignment over to your service provider; the DHCP from your Airport and the DHCP from your modem are conflicting with each other - solution, move the Airport out of the way, and only let it handle the wireless side of things.
As an additional note - I suspect you won't be able to share your wireless connection with more than one computer this way - I don't know for sure, 'cause I'm not set up to try it with multiple computers (i.e. I can only afford one computer at a time!).
I hope this works for you.

I recently changed my wifi password at home and now my iphone will not connect. It will not ask me for a password just says will not connect to network. Advice on how to get iphone to ask network password for wifi?

I recently changed my wifi password at home and now my iphone will not connect. It will not ask me for a password just says will not connect to network. Advice on how to get iphone to ask network password for wifi?

First, try tapping on the network in the Wi-Fi settings and then tap "forget this network". Then reselect the network in the main Wi-Fi settings screen and see if will then ask for a password. If not, try resetting the Network Settings in the General -> Reset section and then reconnecting to your W-iFi.
Hope this helps.

I have cables hooked to my MacBook and HGTV, but can't get tv to display. Help!

I have cables hooked to my MacBook and HGTV, but can't get tv to display. Help!

Are you using a Mini DisplayPort or a Mini-DVI adapter on your MacBook? What input are you using on the TV, VGA, DVI, Composite, Component or HDMI?
Also it would help to know which one of the 21 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier.
And the make and model of your TV.

I can sink my music and pictures, but can not get my contacts to sync. any ideas?

i can sync my music and photos, but can't get my contacts to sync? anybody
know how to do this? thanks,

Have you Enable the Media Sharing on your Router setup page? To enable media sharing on your Router login to the router setup page and click on the Storage tab and below click on the sub tab "Media Sharing" and click on "Specify the Folder" and then add the video folder and click on save settings..
Once done now you can try to scan for video folder on your PS3 and check.

I have a new ipad2, also an ipad1, with a gateway laptop. I have wireless router with windstream. Able to access my wireless connection on ipad1 and laptop, but can't on ipad2. Will say connected, but get message saying not connected to internet on Safari

I got an ipad 2 today. Already have an ipad 1 and gateway laptop. Have wireless internet with windstream. I have internet connection on ipad 1 and laptop, but can't connect to internet on ipad2. It says i'm connected, but when accessing Safari, it says not connected to internet. Tried unplugging router and resetting already, still not working. Thanks for the help.

Thank you for your response.
I did try turning off the firewall, and reducing all the security levels to a minimum (under Control Panel>Internet Options). Also, I'm using a direct cable from my m/c to the Airport Extreme. But nothing helps. Due to the usage pattern in my family, using the MacBook for configuring the network is not optimal, hence my struggle to do it on my Windows desktop. But if that is the only way to go I suppose I'll have to.
Subsequent to posting my query, I discovered that Apple had not singled me out, and many others with a Win OS face this problem, too. I would have thought Apple would do a proper job of testing before putting up the Windows version of Airport Utlity on their site.
But thanks again. Much appreciate it.

"Connected" to the internet, but can't get on any websites or other pgms...

A couple nights ago, there was a blackout at my house. This happened while my iMac was on.
It connects using the Airport wireless modem to my landlord's router 3 stories up.
Since the blackout, I've been "connected" to his network, but haven't been able to get on any websites. Do I simply need him to reset his router, or is there a deeper problem? Thanks!
FWIW, this did happen very rarely before the blackout, but is now 100% of the time since....
Thanks for your help!

Hi there,
A UPS (Uninterruptible power supply) is a battery back up, so if you power goes out you can finish up what you're working on and shut down normally.
I had a similar incident this week, power went out all computers, modem and router went out. After power was restored all started up fine and looked good. Wireless router showed I was connected to the internet but could not surf any site. I had changed my email account password several weeks earlier (email account provided by my ISP) and did not think this had anything to do my boradband connection, but I was wrong.
To make a long story short, I had to update the password as it related to my broadband connection. The connection was there, it just did not recognize my new password because I had changed it... If you control the account and you've changed any passwords associated with account yu will have to update or your landlord will have to update... make sense?

Showing as connected to the internet but can't get...

Hi,
This is my first post so apologies in advance if I'm using this incorrectly!
I have BT Infinity and have had very few problems since getting it but for the last few days I have been unable to get online. I've called BT a few times and it is showing that I'm connected to the internet so they felt it may be an issue with the Home Hub so are sending me another. In the meantime I have bought another router and connected this to the modem etc and it is showing as being connected to the internet but I still am unable to get online. This is both when connected via an Ethernet cable or wirelessly and is the same across all devices (pc, ipad, iPhone etc). As I say, it is showing as connected to the internet but I can't get online at all. I can via BT Openzone so I know my various devices are working.
I am almost certain the new Home Hub will not help. It's driving me mad. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

If as you say,you have tried the HH and other routers,and have reset and rewired the connections to the OR modem with no joy,then it leaves only 2 possible causes.
1)The RJ11 cable from the OR modem to the master socket might be faulty.
2)But it is most likely to be a fault in the line from the master to the cabinet,or a very noisy line.
You might need an engineer visit to check at the cab or the line.
Your local network seems to be in order,as it is indicating a network connection,but if the line is faulty to the cab,then you would not be able to get a stable connection,or no internet.

My LCD screen burned out. I have it connected to a tv now, but can't get the menu bar or the function bars to show up. Please help!

My LCD Screen burned out, but the computer still works. I currently have it connected to an HDTV via, Mini DVI to VGA, VGA to VGA on the tv. Problem is, I can't get the function bar (maybe not the right term) or the bar at the bottom with all my programs on it. I get my screen saver and have managed to drag (by sheer luck since I can't see anything on my iMac screen) some of my pics I had on my desktop over, but nothing else. Please help!

Hello
you should have on your key board "mirroring key" , or F7 on old keyboard
for now your tv is an extended screen for your imac not a miror , so you can not see menue barre on top of screen

"On some keyboards, you can press the F7 key, or Command-F1, as a shortcut to turn video mirroring on or off."

Changed my apple ID, works ok on pc and iphone but can't get old or ID to work Ipad2

changed my apple ID because email add no longer valid, new ID works on pc and iphone, but the new or old ID will work on my Ipad 2

I too had the same problem. Try:
1. Resetting the ipad by holding the sleep button and the home button simultaneously till the apple logo appears. And then try setting up facetime.
2. Setting the facetime through the facetime option in Settings.
Hope this helps. And its better not to sell the ipad 2. Its a brilliant device. Rather wait for the fifth generation ipad which might be launched in 2013.

I think you have to restore it but choose to restore with iTunes NOT with iCloud or restore as new! You must back up first and synch with iTunes for not loosing any apps,pics,contacts etc!
This will help...

HT4759 how can I transfer my music from my Iphone 4 to my new Iphone 5? I was able to transfer my contacts and apps but can not get my ipod music

Can someone help me figure out how to get my ipod music from my old 4iphone transferred to my new iphone 5?

if the music is purchased with iTunes, just download it on the iPhone using this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
If the music on your iPod was downloaded elsewhere or ripped from CD's, you can't transfer that back to a computer or another iOS device, iPhones/iPads/iPods weren't designed for this. That has everything to do with music industry rights and legal stuff.

I really don't have an answer for that one. I guess that while trying to get things working correctly, I would use the most basic monitor I had which in your case would be the Eizon using the Thunderbolt port and adaptor.
When you boot into Safe Mode the startup is quite slow, but you should get the Apple logo and then the spinning gear below it (release the SHIFT key when it appears.) Then after a little more time you should see a gray progress bar appear below the spinning gear. When that disappears the computer will startup to a login screen.
