Trouble connecting my MacBook air to Internet in a hotel - but my iPad works fine???

Help please - aim in a hotel in Austria. I can connect to the Internet using the hotel wireless with my iPad, but my MacBook Air keeps showing a connection, but not accessing the Internet. I've tried fiddling with system preferences, and got onto the Internet once, but when I came back from a walk the connection was gone and won't come back?

I'm unsure what encryption, but I am getting a DHCP address, I can ping the gateway and have tried making a new connection.
Since I last posted, I kept trying network preference - diagnosis...... It would usually show all green against the wireless connection status, except when I turned off airport. But after about 90 minutes of fiddling, and for no logical reason I could see, the Internet connection came up.
I have just been for supper, and on re- opening the MacBook, the connection won't let me onto the Internet again, even though everything lookls ok???
Any ideas for a tyro gratefully received!

  • How to connect my macbook air to internet via cable ethernet?

    Hi,
        I tried to connect my macbook air to internet via lightning to ethernet adaptor. I am having cable internet, and my windows laptop normally connects to internet without anything to set in it. Anyone can help in this aspect...
    Thanks in advance..

    Finally, it got connected....
    The solution is, may be simple, but it took 3 days...
    Switch off (plug out the electrical connection to the modem), and power again the cable modem...
    it got connected...
    Thank you Diesel....

  • Anyone else having trouble connecting new MacBook Air to display?

    I have tried connecting my new 11" macbook air to a 24" acer monitor and a 40" Samsung television and the screen on the MBA turns blue like it's about to connect but then comes back as if it failed to.  Then it keeps trying.
    I'm using the mini diplay port to DVI adapter to a DVI cable into the monitor.
    I have also tired the mini diplsy port adapter into a DVI to HDMI adapter to see if it worked using HDMI,
    Nothing.
    I called Apple and they suggested I bring it into the store.
    I'm running 10.7
    Thanks.

  • HT4913 Trying to add new macbook air to itunes match. process starts but never succeeds. works for a while then give error  about itunes server.

    Trying to add my new Macbook Air to iTunes match. Process starts but goes nowhere. After some time I get error about iTunes server losing connection. Help! I want to access all my music.

    Hi Rob- I'm guessing it has something to do with all the update stuff Apple keeps doing (with Yosemite, etc.,) extremely frustrating - also whenever I load up iTunes on any of my devices- I am asked to enter my passcode- which I will do- then I am asked to do it 2 or 3 more times - right after the other- crazy how annoying something like that can be- I have looked online for solutions- i.e. close out of the account, reset the passcode- all of it- nothing seems to fix that situation either-  what I have discovered (playing around) is on my iPhone 6+ if I go to settings and turn OFF iTunes match- then turn it back ON- suddenly all the music that wasn't loaded shows up magically- but I had to do that each time I'd update songs in my playlist on the iMac- then go to the iPhone and turn off the match- then turn it back on- almost like it is resetting things-

  • Has anyone else had trouble connecting to a VW Golf media connector? My old iPod Shuffle works fine.

    Apple changed the Dock connector recently.
    - charging via FireWire is no longer supported
    - audio out works differently. As far as I can work out, the audio signal is still connected to the same pins, but it will only be switched on under certain conditions (the Dock has to tell the iPod that it can handle line audio, I presume).
    I had the same problem with my Sik IMP. I stumbled on a partial solution: I connected an iJet Nav (wireless remote) between the iPod and the IMP. That enabled the audio out again. My iPod still doesn't charge though.
    The DockStubz adapter solves the charging problem:

    I haven't tried a combination of the two.

    Hi
    Does your Macbook support Airplay?    What year is it?  Typically mid 2011 and newer Macbooks offer Airplay capability.

    I can't help you with a direct answer.  For third-party devices you should contact the vendor (Vodafone). 
    If you have an iPhone (or an Android phone with hot-spot capability) you can use that to connect to the Internet without paying for a separate cellular service.

  • MacBook Air wifi internet shared network not working on tethered android phone GT B5122

    MacBook Air wifi internet shared network not working on tethered android phone GT B5122
    I have created a password protected wifi internet network on my Macbook air. I tethered by Andriod phone onto this network, but the internet connection works intermittently on the phone, and when it stops working the network continues to show as connected to the shared network mostly(other times it keeps renewing the wifi IP address on the Andriod phone).
    Also the network the MBA is connected to, is a hardwired one using a SSH login account in a student accomadations.
    I am not sure, but all the restarting and refreshing of system, phone and wifi sharing and re-enabling wifi is not reparing the internet connecting on the wifi network for the phone
    Really puzzled, if this is one of the Apple, Andriod compatability issues.
    Cheers,
    Vivek

    Hi.
    I'm having trouble with the wireless connection on my new home hub 3. Most devices will connect easily, but there are three devices that have trouble connecting. These are an Android Phone (Samsung Galaxy Mini), an android tablet (Sony Tablet S) and an iPod. All of these devices work perfectly on other network connections, and other devices in the house are quite happy connecting to the network.
    The Androids can see the network, and will try to connect to it, but when they do they just go through a loop of "connecting">>"acquiring IP address">>"disconnected". I have tried resetting the Home Hub with a pin, and that lets the devices connect for about 24 hours, but after that time they stop connecting again.
    I'm really not sure what to do to fix the problem, so I will very much appreciate some help.
    Many Thanks.
    My lads SGMini connects perfectly to our hub3
    Have you installed the BTFon app to these devices?
    If so, you could delete it and then see what hapens.....

  • Can I connect my MacBook Air wirelessly to my Panasonic Viera HDTV

    I would like to connect my MacBook Air to my Panasonic Viera HDTV wirelessly, so that we can view family photos, videos etc on the large flat screen. Is it possible and, if so, how do I go about it?

    I believe you would need an Apple TV:

    FWIW, you are not running iOS (any version) on a Mac computer, it would be Mac OS 10.x.x (which is helpful for anyone trying to help you).

    How do I connect my MacBook Air bought sep13 to a Benq GL2450? monitor?

    External screens are designed to work as extended displays for your computer's display. It means that menu bars and desktop icons won't appear, and you will only see windows if you drag them to the right part of the computer's display.
    To change this, you have to activate video mirroring > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5019

  • How do I connect my MacBook Air 2011 to a projector?

    How do I connect my MacBook Air 2011 to a projector?

    It depends on the input connection for the projector, but since many are rduced resolution, VGA seems to be the prevalent common connection.
    It's just a matter of buying the adapter that adapts VGA to the Mini DisplayPort/Thunderbolt port on your Air. If it is a DVI or HDMI connection input on your projector, the online Apple Store carries that as well.
    This adapter and sufficient length VGA cable is all you need for VGA.
    Here's the DVI adapter.
    For some reason, I am unable to bring up the Moshi HDMI adapter on Apple's site.
