Suddenly can't connect to internet even though it's still connected to the network. Why?

My ios 5.1.1 ipad 3 is less than 1 year old and has been connecting fine in my room. Then suddenly internet stopped working even though it's connected to the network. Tried restarting, forgetting, resetting. It worked for like 1 min randomly, then stopped working again. It only works if I move closer to router. Laptop and another Ipad both work fine. Just don't understand why my ipad stopped working suddenly when it was fine before.

Yes I do want my problem fix. Thank you for helping.
I was just wondering why it would be the router when my ipad connects if it's closer to the router and everything seems to be working fine too.

Have disabled IE on windows pc and am using Firefox as browser. iTunes now says cannot connect to internet even though Firefox working: suggestions?

There is a plugin for Firefox - see here
http://latestversionplugin.com/current-version-plugin-itunes-application-detecto r.html
It should be installed automatically if you install iTunes, but I guess when you installed iTunes you didn't have Firefox. Just reinstall iTunes and it should work OK (your iTunes library will not be affected)

Forgot password.Tried to wipe by using Find my iPhone but won't connect to wifi even though it is turned on in the lock screen.Then tried to restore through iTunes but couldn't because Find my iPad on. Removed the iPad but iTunes still not working. Help!

My daughter stopped using her iPad when she got an iPhone for Christmas. It has been over one month and she has forgotten her passcode. I tried to wipe it via Find my iPhone but it won't connect to the wifi even though wifi is switched on on the lock screen. I then tried to restore it through iTunes but was unable to becuase Find my iPhine was switched on so I removed the iPad from the device list only to find that it didn't solve anything with the iTunes situation and it still won't connect to the wifi. I ahve tried turning wifi on and off, tried leaving the house and re-entering all to no avail. Is there any other way to restore the iPad????

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTune (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug (very important)
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTune has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTune.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...

Can't connect to internet even though Network prefs show all green lights

I have 3 iMacs in our office with the same issue.
I can get them to connect to the internet using Airport but not Ethernet. When I connect the ethernet the computers network preference screen shows that a green light and that an ip address has been assigned via DHCP.
When the ethernet is connected I can connect to other computers on the network but cannot access any external sites.
Things I've tried:
-repair permissions
-making sure OS X firewall is off
-I tried to ping the router = got response
-Tried pinging other internal office IP address = got reponse
-Tried pinging external sites = no reponse
-I've tried restarting the router and the DSL modem and the computers, but nothing works.
Any ideas?

This is usually the other way round: users can connect with Ethernet but not with Airport, so my first reaction is to think about a hardware problem with the router. I would have thought DNS might be a problem (not excluded totally) but you are not able to ping to external sites, while you can ping the router and other devices on the LAN.
To help refining the problem, how about other (non-Mac) computers: do you have any there; and are they suffering the same problem? If so, the problem may be in the router and it may be an idea to try with another. If not, there is a problem with the settings on the Macs.
When did this problem start; and what changes did you make around that time?

4th Gen won't connect to internet even though it says it's connected

Hello Apple Community!
I have been using my (4th Gen) Time Capsule to back up my devices and for my household WiFi for about 2 years now. The other day, after a storm, my connectivity was down. I thought it was my ISP, but after bypassing the TC and plugging the Ethernet Cable that would normally connect to the TC directly into my laptop, I was finally able to get back onto the web. (In fact, I am typing this question while hard-wired directly to my ISP modem... but I digress).
Here's the problem (and screenshot's provide a thousand words) -
The Time Capsule SAYS it is connected, but every single device that is connected to it {iPhones, MacBook, Xbox, etc.} will not connect to the internet. Each device is giving an error saying "Cannot connect to internet" or "Unable to connect to internet".
Remedies I have tried already:
Contacted ISP and verified that the internet was still working
Reset ALL devices including - modem and TC (like... 100 times)
Checked update for TC (and I am current with update 7.6.4)
Switched from DHCP to Static IP
Programmed DNS server to recommended addresses (99.196.99.99 and 99.197.99.99) and released them back to automatic
Turned OFF security password for WiFi and set network to OPEN
Factory Reset TC
Rebooted both TC and modem through both Apple recommended and ISP recommended power cycle instructions
Read through all current, passed and relevant 4th Gen Time Capsule connectivity issues throughout thread
I am about to see how the TC floats in the pond out back soon... (not kidding).
I have tried everything and it wont work! The only way I am typing this to the community is directly connecting to the ISP modem. Any suggestions, please help!
{P.S. - I took the screenshot of the router by pugging the cord back into the AirPort TC so you could see what I see, but again, to no avail.. I couldn't connect to the internet via the WiFi)

Electrical storm could have blown the WAN port of the TC, without the TC diagnostics showing it up.. hence the green led.
If you have not already done so, try powering down the TC for several hours. You need it cold, so overnight is a good idea.
Power up the TC and quickly test it.. you have around 10min before issues start if it has heat issues.
No luck quickly change the TC to bridge mode.. ie on the Network tab.. make sure it is off (bridge mode).
Plug the modem to another port of the TC.. LAN 1 2 or 3.. does the light come on?? From a computer, test if you have internet access. In this mode only one computer should have internet. Tell me how that test goes.
Do you have a computer running any OS prior to Mavericks? Even windows would do so you can load 5.6 airport utility.
In 5.6 utility you can set wan port speed to 10mbit half duplex.. I want you to do that.
And then test it again in router mode.
What modem are you using??

Original Ipad 1 will not connect to internet even though there is a strong signal displayed

Hi My iPad 1 was working fine but suddenly it will not connect to the internet, it shows a full wifi signal and I have tried reseting but it keeps failing to connect with the internet,,does this indicate a fault with the iPad, router or software. My Sony laptop works from the same BT router using wifi and has no problems.
Has anyone had similar connection issues, I am reluctant to send it to Apple in case its not a fault with the iPad so want to check all other options first..

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Computer stopped connecting to internet even though there is full signal and nothing has changed.

so the other day i opened my computer and it wouldn't connect to the internet. it had been working fine before that and nothing had changed, it just stopped connecting. I have full signal and can connect to the network, but my internet signal on the top bar has an exclamation point and says "Alert: no internet connection." My roommates can both connect with their computers so i dont know the problem! i've looked for soulutions on other forums and havet tried deleteing "airport" as a source and then re-adding it, deleting the system configuration folder (a suggestion someone got from apple), renewing the DHCP lease, nothing works. help!

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

Cant connect to internet even though wireless is connected

I bout my mac book book pro 13" in March 2013. I was using without any issues all these days and Now i am in india and i do not have any issues even in india.
All of a sudden from 2 days, mac book is able to see the wireless network and able to connect but there is no internet - cant browse any sites, cant get email, no iMessages.
Any help would be great. I do not know much on troubleshooting in Mac.

You will need to get out your booklet that came with your Router, I believe you type in 192.168.1.1. to access the utility page on your browser it will have the information for username and password to type in there box.
There are several options that you can us, I use DCHP and automatic settings to allow the Router assign IP's.
You also will have the options to set up username and Password for WEP, WPA, WPA-2 for security and to protect your network from unwanted intrusion.
Read the booklet carefully and take your time.
This is one of the main reasons that Airport and Airport extreme Bases are recommended for Mac use they are right close to automatic in set up and use, not to mention the built in Printserver for wireless printing. This will allow you to use the Airport Admin Utility and the Airport Setup Assistant.(Very Mac friendly) where the others could care less so it seems.
Hope this helps, like I said there are several options for you to choose from to set up your network.
Cheers Don

Unable to validate my serial number for purchased version of premiere elements will not connect to internet even though my connection is ok

i have purchased an official copy of premier elements 13. i have my serial number etc but when i go validate my sign in throgh my internet connection nothing happens. its a nightmare !! I cannot even find out how to generate a rerquest code for offline valiodation. clicking on "generate response code " does nothing. I have jjust spent £79 on this product. will someone please help. ther is nothing wrong with my internet connection.

Hi, A.T.R
Thank you so much for your common sense reply. I contacted Adobe via their online chat help facility. One of their tech guys resolved the issue by re-setting the Hosts file. Now I have seen this in the forums and it basically involves making a back-up copy of the Hosts file deleting certain entries and applying again.. Thankfully this worked for me. But I would urge Adobe to look into this matter as there are many novices I am sure will be extremely frustrated at what should be a straight forward approach when validating their software. Most people would know there internet was working ok and most people would be able to disable anti-virus software etc, but to continue getting a failure to validate a serial number online would in my opinion beggar belief !! for most technically minded folks out there. Most annoying.
When anyone purchases legacy software from Adobe, no one wants this kind of problem. The software is not cheap.
My purchase was Adobe Premiere Elements 13 and it is a great piece of software for video editing. I can however recommend it. It is very good for both novice and professionals
Thank you.

TS1368 I'm frustrated! iPod Touch 4g not connecting to anything needing internet, even though wi-fi is connected.

My iPod Touch is making me very frustrated. It can't connect to anything needing internet, except Draw Something. App Store, Safari, even Weather won't load. Facebook is touch-and-go. If it loads it's VERY slow. I contacted Apple support and that didn't help. Best Buy (where I bought it a month ago) didn't help either. The iPod Touch only connected for about the first week I owned it. I've tried troubleshooting based on other answers posted here (changing the date, disconnecting and reconnecting wi-fi), but NOTHING works. Please help!

1. Try resetting Network Settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
2. If that does not help, test it on another network.
3. If that does not work, try a restore.
4. If that does not help, contact Apple again and see if they will replace it. You can always ask to be transferred to Customer Relations if you feel support was no help. They will take care of you.

Cannot connect to Internet even though the BT Hub ...

Really wacky this - I can see the connection no problem but cannot connect to the internet. Other laptops in the house work ok with the hub. No problem connecting with ethernet cable or by tethering to moblie. Running out of ideas. Everything seems to be set up the same on at least one other laptop. Both have BT Net Protect Plus and both have Windows 8. Laptop was ok connected well until I had to reinstall Windows 8.

Hi thanks for reply
I've checked again just now using ethernet connection and get the message: The best driver software for your device is already installed.
Windows has detemined that the driver software for your device is up to date.
