Touch says I have Wifi connection, but Safari says no internet connection

My wifi had been working fine on my iPod Touch, but it all of a sudden stopped connecting to the internet 2 nights ago. I still have wifi internet connection on my laptop though...so it much be an ipod issue. I reset my modem/router and my network connection on my ipod...why isn't my ipod connecting to the wifi internet anymore? :[

Did you reset your network connections using Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Connections?
Did you try to log back into your network using Settings > WiFi > Other Networks and re-entering your network name, security settings, and password?
Have you tried a general reset of your iPod?

IPad Air wifi works but Safari returns message cannot connect to Apple server?

using iPad Air wifi works but Safari returns message cannot connect to Apple server? (Friends iPad otherwise couldn't post!)

Many thanks for contacting me Carolyn. However the wifi was working fine and I found the solution from this posting:

So resetting the iPad by holding down the Home and Sleep buttons together to reset it did the job.

Macbook makes a WiFi connection, but Safari says it doesn't...?

I got a new laptop for Christmas!! Well, an early 08, which is new in my world.
I have had my Mac mini set up to be my WiFi access for a year or two now and it has worked perfectly for both my husband and my Android phones, as well as his tab, also an Android.
My new laptap makes a WiFi connection (I can transfer files via the WiFi from my old desktop) and it'll connnect to the AppStore, sometimes. But it never connects Safari. It always tells me I don't have an internet connection. Even though System shows me I do...
My internet is via Hughes Net Satellite and the modem is connected via ethernet cable to my Mac mini.
What am I missing?

This is the part that seemed to be the magic answer:
Try entering 208.67.222.222 in the dns settings.

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

Mac shows wireless internet connection, but Safari says "computer isn't connected to the Internet"

Situation:
Computer shows internet connection (full bars), but won't actually connect to the internet and load webpages
Attempted Fixes:
Reset Safari
Quit Safari
Restart the computer
Turn off the computer with router unplugged
Turn off Airport
Swear at the computer
Swear at the internet
Unplug the router and turn the Airport off too
Additional Info:
Second computer (mac) connects to the internet so it's not an internet problem.
Last few days the internet has been slowly dying on the computer (Mac OS X) in question. Meaning that the internet asks me for the router password constantly, which was a new development.
I have seen information about reseting Plists and a few other weird things, but I didn't want to do anything drastic based on someone elses issue. I figured it's best to bring my specific issue to the forum before destroying my Mac by randomly deleting Plists.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Dan

Excellent troubleshooting solutions which usually works.
Which os version are you using?
First contact your ISP. You need to confirm that the issue is not on their end.
Change your router channel. Sometimes this is all you will have to do.
Power cycling the router. Read the router's user manual or contact their tech support for instructions.
System Preferences/Internet & Network/Network
Unlock the padlock
Locations: Automatic
Highlight Airport
Click the Assist Me button
In the popup window click the Diagnostic button.
System Preferences/Network- Unlock padlock. Highlight Airport. Network Name-select your name. Click on the Advanced button. Airport/Preferred Networks-delete all that is not your network.
Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined." Click the OK button and lock the padlock. Restart your computer.

No internet connection (wireless)
Check to see if an extra entry is present in the DNS Tab for your wireless connection (System Preferences/Network/Airport/Advanced/DNS).
Delete all extra entries that you find.
Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined."

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.

iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

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.

AirPort connected but Safari says buffer space exhausted

hi.
I just started my MacBook pro and it connects fine to my AirPort Network. But in Safari I can not open any page. It tells me the buffer space is used up nsposixerrordomain:55. Does anyone know what that means and what I can do about it?
thanks in advance

I had the same issue after I Stopped my Mac from Syncing and Deleting the Mac from the Sync list. I tried everything and ended up reinstalling. I wished I had known of the Cocktail fix before I Clean Installed my OS! On a positive note , after reinstalling everything its seems much snappier after the effort. This was the same debacle I was in when I Upgrade Installed in the first place. A Reinstall with Preserve settings yielded no fix, so I clean Installed no migration and all is well. When I checked my Network Assistance, It had all the Green lights on and reported a working connection.
Before I did all that I tried reinstalling 10.5.1 update on the hope that would replace the 'damage'. Sheesh All I needed was to fire up Cocktail? OMG Definite bug somewhere here...

I can't find Java preferences also System preferences says i have Java 7 but Terminal says i have Java 6

So i downloaded java 7 to run this program called Spigot and Bungeecord and when i ran them in terminal it said i had Java 6 so i called apple support and they said they couldnt help to ask oracle but this lady answered and she had no clue and told me to call an engineer and you need to pay for that so i didnt and now im here As the title says I need help with those things.

There are two different Java distributions for the Mac: one distributed by Apple, and one by Oracle. They don't overlap in function.
The Apple Java runtime (version 6) is needed to run bare jar files and older standalone Java applications. Newer Java applications have the Java runtime built in, and don't depend on Apple's Java.
The Oracle Java runtime (version 7) is a web plugin only. It's used to run Java applets on web pages and Java WebStart applications. You can determine whether it's installed and up to date by looking for a preference pane named Java in System Preferences. If it's present, open it. It will launch the "Java Control Panel." Select the Update tab.

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!

My wifi is connected but when i try to connect to safari it tells me its not connect it says safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet.. but the wifi is on and connected, i have tryed resetting the network settings

my wifi is connected but when i try to connect to safari it says the internet is not connected, i tryed resetting network system but still no luck.

Your iPad sees the WiFi network signal but obviously it is not connected to the network. Try rebooting your router - unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

Ipod Touch says I have wifi but it doesn't work

I have wifi and usually my Ipod Touch works but just recently it has stopped working. It says I have wifi and even the little bars show up but when ever I try to pull up an app that requires wifi it says it cannot retrieve download info please connect with iTunes. I have already tried to reset the network settings and even restored it.

How about some details about your wireless network?
Some things you can check real fast - go to Settings > WiFi. Do you have check mark next to your network name? If you tap the blue > next to the name, what does your IP address look like (if it is 169.x.x.x you are not connected to your network)?
Let us know and we will go from there.

My PowerBook G4 says that it's connected to wifi, but it still no internet connection. The connection will work for a while, and then I'll have to run diagnostics and it will work again for a few minutes and then stop working again. What's going on??

My iPad is connected to my wifi account but safari is saying it is not connected to the internet

Hi I have had my ipad for 2 years with no problems and have just changed broadband provider from aol to orange, all seemed ok at first but in the last couple of days the ipad has stopped connecting to the internet. The wifi is on and connected to the router no problem but when on safari i just keep getting a pop-up stating the page cannot open because it is not connected to the internet. My sons both have macbooks and work perfectly, we even took the ipad to another house with wifi and the ipad connected with no problems. Is there anything I can do to fix the problem or is it a call to orange broadband??

Your iPad sees the WiFi signal but obviously it is not connecting to the internet.
The very first thing I would try is to reboot your router. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in and then see if the iPad will connect to the internet.
