Why can't I get to the Internet without wifi?
When I'm out of WiFi range but I have cell coverage I cannot get to the Internet with my iPhone but I can with my iPad. Has anyone else experienced this and how did you solve the problem?
It could be any number of issues...
First who is your ipad cellular provider (AT&T, Sprint, Verizon)? Is your data plan active and up to date on the ipad? You may want to call them and make sure all is well on their end.
The troubleshooting steps for cellular data on an ipad can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4249
If the troubleshooting does not work then the SIM card or iPad may need to be serviced.

Why can't I get on the Internet
I can't get my Internet to work because it says there is no airport installed
You do not use AirPort Utility to connect the Mac to the wireless network. AirPort Utility is only needed to set up a new AirPort router or make changes to the existing settings on an AirPort router.
Click the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen
Turn Wifi On
Click Join Other Network
Click Show Networks
Select the WiFi network
Enter the password for the network

Since upgrading to version 6 why can't I get on the internet
I upgrade last week on Tuesday the 24/9 my Apple TV from then kept losing the network connection, a fees days of this and then it stopped picking up any network even if I try to enter manual it doesn't find a network. I have restored twice via my computer , I can use it by Ethernet but not wifi. This is so frustrating
Obvious? How is a hardware issue obvious? Unless something physically went bad in the unit it's not a hardware issue. It's obviously an issue related to the software update (Version 6.0 and as of this morning I believe 6.1) that has cause mass problems for users. These problems have ranged from inability to connect to airplay, all the way to bricking the unit completely. What GeoffBeeby and myself are looking for is a resolution, not someone to tell us that the obvious issue is something that would be a statistical anomaly.

Why can't I connect to the Internet on my Adobe Reader? And why do websites tell me I don't have Adobe downloaded when I have an updated version on my computer? It is an IPad,does that affect it?
Also, download and open the free Adobe Reader app. Then read the Help section to figure out how to use it.

I have a new macbook pro and an LG w2361v monitor. The max resolution the mac is allowing me to set is 1400x1050, why can't I get to the max resolution the monitor can accept (1900x1080)? I know that the monitor is able to accept this resolution but It can't seem to find it. Is it something to do with the new thunderbolt port? or the fact that I'm utilizing the VGA adaptor? I could go HDMI if that works better.
Use DVI or HDMI.
VGA runs out of steam after a while. -

HT1695 Why can't I connect to the Internet when I not at home
Why can't I connect to the Internet when I'm not home
If you do not have an iPad with 3G cellular service, you can only connect to the internet when you have access to Wifi. Wifi is not available everywhere, but there are places that do offer free Wifi service, such as Starbucks, Panera Bread, the Airport, etc. When you are at a location which offers free Wifi access, you have to join their network, which is usuall nothing more than touching a connect option that should automatically pop up, when you open Safari on your ipad.

My family recently gave me an iPad for Mother's Day. It's been really awesome, but suddenly today I began getting an error: "Cannot connect to iTunes Store."
The process looks great right up to the download. Then, after the icon appears with the status bar, just before you would expect the status bar to start filling out...BAM, error!
I can connect to the internet just fine. I am able to sync via WiFi without trouble. I'm pretty sure I have tried all the troubleshooting on-and-offs. I even did a restore.
Am I missing something? Why would it work fine one minute and get all quirky the next?
Help me Obi-wan Kenobi; you're my only hope.Can't connect to the iTunes Store

Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.

My iPad 2 won't connect to the internet without wifi
Why can't I connect to the internet
Need a bit more to go on than that please.
You do have wifi right? Because the ipad doesn't support wired internet.
What are you trying to do and are you experiencing any error messages? -
I've tried the troubleshooting things that I've seen, but it still doesn't work. The wifi notification on top says that I'm connected, but I can't get to any websites.
Help!!The wifi symbol only indicates the presence of a wifi signal, not that you are connected.
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

FiOS INTERNET - Why can't I connect to the Internet?
Please see the following link for details on this topic:
http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/FiOSInternet/Troubleshooting/Connection+Issues/QuestionsOne...Pro848 wrote:
Alright, so I unplugged my Fios router and plugged in my NetGear router for about an hour or so. Then I unplugged my NetGear router and plugged back in my Fios router. But then, Ethernet slot on the Fios router is orange even though the wire was plugged in. However, when I switched back to the NetGear router, the Ethernet was green. Now I can't connect to the internet using the Fios router, why? BTW, I probably accidently unplugged the Fios Box but I quickly plugged it back in.
The system DHCP asigns the IP address based on the MAC hardware address of the router. If you plugged your Netgear into the ONT, and it was able to pick up an address that quick, you would need to find a way to release the address from the Netgear and unplug it quickly before it gets reasigned back to the Netgear. Or leave the Netgear unpluged for about a hour or two, then plug the Actiontec back into the ONT. It might not take an hour or two to get the new address, but it is one way to prevent residential customers from getting more than one public IP address. Or connect the Actiontec and call the Verizon FCS and have them release and renew your IP. -
Installed Windows 7 but can't find get on the Internet
Hi there!
I am trying to help a friend install Windows 7 on his new mac book pro.
I went through the procedure of getting boot camp to do its thing and I successfully installed Windows 7 on top of boot camp. However, the problem is now that I can't get Windows 7 to go on the internet.
I didn't realize that apple no longer makes DVD disks for the new mac book pro. Therefore, I went back into boot camp and downloaded the drivers onto a USB disk using FAT format on the USB stick.
I was able to eventually get Windows 7 to read the USB disk (I had some problems before that and I had to reformat the USB disk). I looked inside the disk and saw a folder called Windows Support. In that folder were the following files and folders:
I looked all over for the drivers that would install the wi-fi or the ethernet connection. Unfortunately, there were no file(s) to be found.
I clicked on the setup.exe file. I believe that when I double clicked on the setup execution file, I was prompting me to reinstall boot camp.
Now, since boot camp and window 7 is already on the windows partition, I didn't go further on the install.
Can someone tell me what would what's going on here. The instructions for getting the drivers is a bit confusing.
Thanks!DUH84 wrote:

Also, I realize that even if I DID a screenshot, I am sure that you or someone else could tell me what YOU see or guide me as to when you do the prompts for the setup exe.
As I said before, I am not at the computer in question and am trying to get as much information as I can so that I can possibly go over to this person's house today and finish the install.
How about posting what I should see for a reference. It would be most appreciated. thanks!
Shift-Command 4 will get you a screenshot, then click the camera icon in your post and insert it. -
Why can't i go on the internet but connected to wi-fi
I've been having this problem for the past month. My internet works fine at other locations, but when i get home my wi-fi status bar shows i'm connected, but i still dont have access to any programs requiring the internet. I can not connect on safari or any other browsers, app store, and etc. Can someone please help?
Canon and other manufacturers have not written software....as far as we know.....to allow advanced features when an All-in-One is connected to the USB port on the AirPorts. Only the print function is supported.
You might want to contact Canon if you would like to see them offer full funtionality at the USB port of the AirPorts. -

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
