Why can't my computer find the Internet since I loaded Lion?

Any help out there? All my other devices work just fine...

Disconnect all USB and Firewire devices (except keyboard and mouse, if applicable.) Delete and try to recreate your Ethernet connection.
If unsuccessful, reset the SMC and try again.
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
If still unsuccessful, back up all data, then boot into Recovery and reinstall the Mac OS.
OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery
If still unsuccessful, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to bare metal from any of them.) Don’t erase the Lion recovery partition, if present.

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 hotspot won't connect my computer to the internet since I upgraded my phone to ios7. The PC sees the hotspot but won't connect. The op sys on the PC is windows 7 ultimate. Can anyone help?

My hotspot won't connect my PC to the internet since I upgraded the op sys on the 4s iphone. The PC sees that hotspot but won't connect. The op sys on the PC is windows 7 ultimate. Can anyone tell me what to do please?

Glad to hear it is all straightened out. You are right about the upgrade cost. That is one reason why Adobe switched to monthly licensing—no more upgrade cost <g, r, & d>. Of course we do have nearly monthly product upgrades. It is almost like playing whack a mole.

Why can't I connect to the internet after reinstalling the computer (windows xp home edition)?

I just reinstalled the computer (windows xp home edition) due to spyware but now I cannot access the internet..
I am sure that the router is working and that the adapter works as well as when ever I check, it says that I am "connected to the access point".
But I still have NO access to the internet.
What do I do?

Since you re-installed your Operating System, usually you need to reinstall the adapter.
But in your case, the driver is still there.
Linksys adapter has its own utility. same as with windows. Linksys has Linksys Monitor and Windows got Wireless Zero Configuration. Now, when both of them are running, that's the time you cannot access the internet because they are conflicting.
try this.
Click on START --> Run
type " services.msc" and click ok
scroll the page on the most bottom part and look for Wireless Zero Config
Right click and click on " start or restart"
Then click on start-->control panel
Click on network Connections
Look for Wireless network Connections & right Click on it.
Select "view available wireless networks"
note: it would usually say if you have configured another program.. use that software.
Look on the left side of the window
Select " change the order of preferred networks"..
check the box that says " use windows to confgure my wireless network settings"
try to view the wireless networks now
You should see your network and just cOnnect to it.

Why can I only connect to the internet using my IPhone 5S 4G via a USB and not wirelessly?

Apologies if I'm not using the right jargon ... I have a laptop (Dell Latitude D510 - Windows 7 Ultimate) that can connect to my Mobile Broadband wirelessly no problem but I can't utilise my IPhone's 4G connection (iOS 7.0.5) unless I use the USB cable (my personal hotspot is also on). I can't connect wirelessly to my personal hotspot without the USB cable. It keeps saying Windows is unable to connect to my IPhone. I have tried to troubleshoot this myself but can't find an obvious problem. Interestingly I could only connect via my USB when I downloaded the ITunes program as my computer failed to recognise my IPhone. Furthermore, I have a Dell Alienware laptop which has no problems connecting to my IPhone either way - USB or wirelessly (also has ITunes downloaded). I've searched the Internet forums for an answer on but I can't find one. Can anyone help? Thanks if you can.

FiOS INTERNET - Why can't I connect to the Internet?

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.

TS1398 Why can I still connect to the internet, but I can no longer connect to the iTunes store?

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.

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.

HT1695 Why can't i connect to the internet with my iPad?

My ipads been working just fine ever since i got (a little less than a month ago) and today the wifi connection went off for less than a minute ( i was using my macbook pro at the moment) and came back. The computer continued using the internet just fine but not my ipad. I choose my network in the wifi settings and the circle thing is spinning right next to its name and is not responding, it just spins perpetually. Ive tried everything i could from turning the ipad on/off, to resetting the network settings and unrecognizing my network and connecting again. I thought it maybe was the wifi network itself but then why is my computer and ipod connected just fine (i've also tried unconnecting/connecting to my wifi in them and it works??)?? I am practically right next to the router and i gave up trying new solutions so if someone could please help me out with this!

Hi,
Try resetting your iPad - hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears. See if that clears it up.
Cheers,
GB

Why can I not connect to the internet efficiently?

It seems the only place my mac is able to connect effectively to the internet is at the genius bar when I take it in to resolve this issue.
At home, my girlfriend is able to connect to our linksys internet on her macbook wirelessly, however right next to her, I am not able to do so.
At my house where I recently was able to connect fully, it is now slow and soon fades away after time.
I find my internet to be slow in many places ex: Starbucks, other homes, etc.
When I run both assitant and diagnostic it gets me nowhere.
Is there a setting in my network that could be changed or some sort of preferences in advanced I can change to fix the problem?
Thank you.

The router is wep code. I put in the right #'s. it worked for a while, then quit working. I restarted the router and everything.

Why can my macbook only access the internet from certain wireless sources?

I have tried connecting to the internet at my friends houses with my macbook but even though I can join the network, the internet itself doesn't work. Is there a reason for this? I've even tried to connect to the internet through a wireless network that my friend was accessing with no problem, from his macbook.

Possible reasons for being unable to connect to a strange network:
- Wrong proxy information
- Wrong network password
- Your friends router has "MAC address filtering" turned on.
You might find you can connect by creating a new location like this:
System Preferences > Network
Select the AirPort from the left hand side
Click on the Locations combo box and select Edit Locations...
Click on + to add a new location, give it a memorable name
Select the AirPort tab and enter your network name
Select TCP/IP tab.
Configure IPv4 Using DHCP
Now click on Renew DHCP Lease. After a few seconds you should get an IP address (probably 192.168.x.x)
Click on Proxies tab.
Select Auto Proxy Discovery and Use Passive FTP
Click on OK and Apply, etc.

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.
