Why can't I use the Internet on my Mac?

I need help. My MacBook Pro as recently stopped using the Internet.
I went to a hotel to stay the night, and I tried connecting to their Internet on Mozilla, and it just keeps loading and loading and loading. So I tried Minecraft, and it kept loading and loading and loading and eventually it said, "could not connect".
I am now at my grandmother's home and it is doing the same thing. I tried Opera, and it still didn't work. I finally tried Safari and it still just loaded.
I tried to perform a software update, I though it would help, but I need Internet for that too.
I could really use some help here. Please let me know.
I am going to Apple on Monday if we can't fix it.
Help me please.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

It is entirely possible your college has decided to block certain websites. It's easy to do.

Yes, you can download the updated apps on your syncing computer and then sync the iPod with your iTunes library. Note that you can only sync apps on the one syncing computer you can have.

Why can't I use the iPad as my smartphone?

My basic question is,why can't I use the IPad as my smartphone? Ipad is doing everything what a smartphone does, except the calling facilities. Since IPad can connect to the Internet(WiFi), and via VOIP services like skype or yahoo, we can very well connect to any mobile or landline phone. So what I'm asking is, Ipad can very well provide some User interface as phone does and internally it can use the VOIP to connect to phones. Share your views.

My basic question is,why can't I use the IPad as my smartphone?
You can as long as you don't want to make calls over a mobile phone network as the iPad doesn't have the hardware to make calls that way.
At least we'll be able to recognise you on a call:

I have an old iPod Touch with old software that can no longer be updated:
iOS version 6.1.6
I've been searching for a solution to my iMessage login problem for months and tried everything from those frustrating links and all the tips from other users.
Here is what finally worked:
1) Settings > Privacy > Location Services > On
2) Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically > On
3) Reboot device until Apple logo appears
4) Settings > Messages > Sign In

Why can't i use the radio on my nano 7g with bluetooth

why can't i use the radio on my nano 7g with bluetooth. i wanted to use wireless feature at work but i only use the radio at work , so i bought bluetooth stereo headphones by plantronics, got the backbeat 903, at wal-mart . got home got it all set up and works fine but not for radio , i'm so dissaponted and am thinking i might take them back and continue using the wire ware , but then again i like listening to my podcast while doing dishes and chores at home so the bluetooth would be better for that .

Why can't I use the function of menu item 'issue delivery output'?

why can't I use the function of menu item 'issue delivery output' in main screen of delivery note?
And at the same time I can't use the button of printing in main screen of delivery note.
the main screen of delivery note I mean above is in screen of maintaining shipping data instand of the first screen of VL02N.
TKS in advance.

Hi,
Because delivery will be having header level output and item level output. So if u try to print through main screen then system will not know whether it is header related or item related. That is the reason it is only print output at header level or item level but not in main screen.
I think u may have doubt like how billin will be issued output through Main screen. Because for billing both header and item level data are same..

Why can't I use the Basic brush tool?

I'm learning the ropes of drawing in Illustrator and I've fallen at the first hurdle. Why can't I use the Basic brush tool? Whenever I select the brush tool and use the 'Basic' brush type, the cursor turns into a hashed circle indicating I can't draw. If I load other brushes, I can draw with other brush types, but I can't use the Basic one. If I select the Basic brush when I have other brushes loaded and try to draw with it, it always defaults to a different brush! I don't understand why.
On a related matter, I'm also having trouble changing brush size. I know that using the [ and ] keys changes brush size, but I have no idea what the values are. If I try this in Photoshop, I can see the brush size in the Options bar, but in Illustrator it doesn't appear anywhere! Not in the Brushes palette, the Stroke palette or the Appearance palette. Where can I see the brush size?

Glitcher,
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Why can't I use the landscape feature for iPhone 5? It only works in limited apps. I feel as though I wasted my money since I prefer to use my phone in landscape mode.

Why can't I use the landscape feature in all of the apps? It seems like a waste of money since I prefer to use the landscape feature.

It is up to the app developer to decide if the app should work in landscape mode or not. This is also true on Android phones, by the way.

Exporting to Facebook - why can't I use the old plug-in?

It's nice that iPhoto '09 tried to help us with the Facebook exporter built-in. But why couldn't they make it useful? Why can't I tag people before I upload them? Why can't I upload photos to an existing album? I wouldn't mind so much, but they seemed to have disabled the existing (working) plug-in that was available. So now I have to export the pictures to my desktop and upload them through Facebook. Hmm...doesn't seem too user-friendly.

Exporting to Facebook - why can't I use the old plug-in?
Have you considered asking the author of the plug-in?
It's nice that iPhoto '09 tried to help us with the Facebook exporter built-in. But why couldn't they make it useful?
Millions upon millions of people do find it very useful
Why can't I tag people before I upload them?
You can - have you watched the iPhoto tutorials?
Why can't I upload photos to an existing album?
You can IF the album was created by iPhoto
Do you have an iPhoto question that one of the iPhoto users who volunteer here might be able to help with?

It says in the corner of my itunes account that i still have money from my itunes card that i redeemed, but when i try to buy a song, the billing info. pops up. Why can't i use the money on my card?

It is simply asking you to verify your account info. Select None for the CC.
It will still pay with your gift card balance.
