Why do my devices say they are connected to my wi-fi signal through airport but are not receiving internet?

i have a mac running 10.7.4 lion and use airport to access the internet... I just purchased a ipad3 so i figured i would set up a wi-fi signal for it. So i created a network, the signal strength is great but the light next to the wi-fi signal while in network settings is amber. The light on the actual airport router is green. So i connected my ipad to the signal and thought everything was fine, but when i tried to use the internet on the ipad, it tells me its not connected to the internet eventhough it says its connected to the signal. please help asap.

Configuration is simple IF you start from a factory default condition.  Then connect the Airport to AC power and to the Internet modem (or modem/router, whichever the case may be).  Open Airport Express on your Mac or other computer, locate the Airport, and accept all of the recommendations.  After confirming that it works, insert your desired administrative and WiFi passwords.

    You're really posting in the wrong forum. you should be posting here ( https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_store ) Or calling apple support directly.

  • I paid early termination fee two months ago to Verizon and am now out of the country. Am trying to unlock the phone but the local guys say they are not able to. I see from the blog here that iPhone 5 comes unlocked. Is it true?? Do I still have to unlock.

    Thank you for reaching out to us, Texasman. Sad to see that
    you have left the VZW family, but it is definitely awesome to be able to
    travel! Regarding your iPhone 5, the phone is unlocked for international usage.
    Just need an active local SIM card that is compatible with your iPhone. Your local provider
    may need to configure some settings under Cellular, but it should pick up signal. Just in
    case, make sure that Settings>Cellular>Roaming>Voice & Data are
    active.

  • Has Apple stopped installing the liquid contact indicator inside the SIM slot opening on the 6 & 6+?  I've inspected several devices and they are not installed.

    I don't know that Apple has ever officially commented on such things, one way or another. Places like ifixit will be your best sources for such information - https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/200937/How+many+water+indicators+or+sensors+ are+there+in+the+iPhone+6
    certainly none of us fellow users know what Apple's official current policies in such things are.

  • All contacts saying they are not available

    I cant understand why people are saying they are offline when I am sure they are on line. I am abroad and used it once but when I purchased the internet skype will not work correctly but I can still get on the internet so I know thats working. Any ideas?

  • Phone Line BT Saying they are not our service prov...

    We've just had an incredibly frustrating weekend trying to speak with someone at BT to resovle our problem....which is that BT have disconnected our line, even though our account is in credit and are saying that they (BT) are not our service provider, but cannot tell us who is. We have never instructed BT that we wish to change our line service provider, they have never contacted us to ask / tell us that the line provider is changing, we have never signed or spoken to anyone or given authority to change SP, but BT are insistent that they are not our SP, but can't tell us who is.
    Consequently we can't do anything to get re-connected as we don't know who to contact, it's as if our line has evaporated into nowhere. BT customer services are of no help, on Saturday we must have  spoken to 20 different people all of whom simply passed us on to the next dept, often we were dumpedl in a queue and abondoned , our calls were cut off on approx 6 / 7 occasions, people who promised to call back never did.
    If anyone at BT reads this please can you explain what is going on, we have no line or broadband, we do not pay any other phone SP, never have and if you check our line number on a SP website it states that BT are our line SP.

  • TS3297 When I try to buy a song from iTunes it says something about security questions and when I type them in it says they are not valid and won't let me download the music?!

    iTunes Store is not letting me purchase any songs. When I download them it says something about security questions and when I type them in it says they are incorrect when they are! Hiw can I download song?

    Click here and search the article for '2 out of 3' without the quotes; in the case of forgotten answers, this generally involves either a message being sent to your rescue email address or contacting the iTunes Store staff directly.

  • CC Desktop reports all apps up to date, but Indvidual apps say they are not?

    While I have the Creative Cloud desktop application open and connected I will get Windows Tray notifications from Individual Adobe applications telling there "Updates ready to Apply."
    THe creative Cloud desktop app shows that all installed applications are 'up to date'.
    Below is a screen clip of the desktop app showing all up to date and a open Acrobat 11 dialog saying updates are ready to install.
    The Acrobat 11 dialog opened immediately after the Desktop application displayed the installed application statuses.
    So are all the updates the Desktop application downloading getting applied? Or are they getting applied twice?

    Run the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, lett AAM reinstall the apps, then try to run the updates again.

  • I have just got a new Macbook Pro and am trying to sync with my iPhone. Everything is working except I can't get my Audible Downloads it is saying they are not authorised to play on this computer. Any suggestions?

    I have just got a new mac book pro. When I synced my iphone 4s with it my audible book files were deleted from my phone though they are on the computer still. A pop up said my iphone was not authorised to play on this computer. Everything else is there just not my audio books from Audible. I'm half way through a book, what do I do?

    The iphone is not a backup device.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • New computer has been loaded with old Itunes library but a number of earlier purchases say they are not "authorized" on this computer even though the bulk of my library works-- this is only about 5% of the total but were all purchased 9/18/2008 or before?

    New computer has been loaded with old Itunes library but a number of purchases prior to 9/18/08 are not "authorized" when I try to play them.
    They are all items I purchased from Itunes but they won't play any longer even though they show in my Itunes library.
    Doesn't work when I enter account info and password either.
    This is only about 5% of my library and many purchased items play no problem.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Two words, Migration Assistant. It will transfer files between two Macs using a firewire cable automagically.

    Three words, Target Disk Mode. Use a firewire cable to connect two Macs and then hold down the T key when you boot the Mac you want to transfer files from, G4 Tower. It will appear as a hard drive on the desktop of your Macbook Pro. Then you can just drag and drop the whole folder.

  • CC programs are installed but CC desktop says they are not

    I have Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC, InDesign CC, Dreamweaver CC installed on my PC.  The Cloud Updater lists them all under "Find New Apps" as [yet to] "Install".  These programs were all initially installed through the CC panel.  But I can update each one separately by opening any of the program outside of the CC window and selecting "Updates" in the single program and then updating them all through the Adobe Application Manager.  What's going on, please?
    And what will happen to the existing programs if I go ahead and select "Install" from the CC panel given that they are already installed?
    Thanks in anticipation

  • How do you refresh devices when they are not showing up on iTunes?

    Sometimes my iTunes doesn't recognize one of my devices after I have left the building and come back.  Is there a way to tell iTunes to refresh the devixes listed?  There is no problem with the wifi, so there should be communication between the iPhone or iPad and iTunes on my Mac.

    You mean they don't appear in the Notes app on your devices?
