Why won't my Mac connect to the Internet?

On occasion we have to reset our modem, but today my Mac won't connect while my iPad is working fine with the Internet.

Kevin:
Sometimes it helps to power cycle the computer. Shut down computer completely, wait a couple of minutes then restart. If that does not work then disconnect the modem wait a couple of minutes then connect it back again.

Why won't my ipad connect to the wifi after I updated it to ios 7.1.2

Never have I ever been so upset at an electronic device
If I had know my iPad would cause such distress after this update I wouldn't have attempted it.
Because of this bloody update a plethora of problems have appeared and I have no clue how to fix it.
Firstly at around 4 this morning the wifi connection was spotty so I had to keep on reconnecting, but that was fixed by getting closer to the router. I thought "problem solved no biggie right?" WRONG! I left my house and came back expecting the wifi to connect again, but that was a fail.
SOOOOO I figured I needed to forget the network and log back in. That didnt work. I should not have done that. I should not have done that.
I got the *Unable to join the network. Dismiss* crap over and over and over again!
So now I figured I'd look up some help! Why not give it a go! So i got that whole (general- reset- reset network) with or without turning on airplane mode bs. Didnt work. Trust me I tried both.Twice.
Since that didnt work I figured a reboot would. No. I turned my iPad off so many times I probably gave the poor thing whiplash
Now this has been going on all day and I finally gave in an hour ago and decided if I restore it to the ios 7.1.1 it'll work again.
Well it must be my freakin birthday cause guess what? You have to turn off your icloud's "find my ipad"to restore and to do that you need a........ wait for it................. internet connection!!!! Brilliant. Just. Brilliant. -_-
Do you FEEL my struggle yet????
all my problems...... they all lead to that dang wifi connection. Fml.
Any of you magical smarty pants have any help for this poor unfortunate soul.
it would be much appreciated.
Amnesty

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 drooping 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

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.

Why does my computer not connect to the internet but other devices do

I have a mac book pro, and it has not been connecting to the internet lately. I also have an iPhone as well as other devices that do connect to the internet. Why is this? Is there anything I can do to reset the internet settings on my computer, or some other solution to fix this? I am guessing th problm is not my internet, because the other devices connect.

1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again, this will refresh the IP address of the router? You may not have access to router.
2. Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
3. Try adding your SSID and Password manually
Settings>Wi-Fi>Other...>Other Network

It won't let me connect to the internet wirelessly!

I am having a problem connecting to my router/modem wirelessly.
Actiontec

I tried disabling WEP and enabling it as well but I still can't connect wirelessly. I tried rebooting my router/modem and my computer but it still won't help me. I checked everywhere in my sever to find errors but nothing came up. I can connect to the internet in my PC but any other wireless devices cannot connect to the internet wirelessly.

Does your PC use a wireless utility software or Windows Services? Do you get any messages? Does your PC wireless pick up any networks at all?

My mac connects to the Internet fine, but Sarfari, chrome, and Firefox will not work. Nor will programs that connect to the internet

This problem has been going on for a few days. my computer connects to the internet fine and runs fine, but none of my Internet browsers will work. I have deleted all my history, cache, cookies etc. For all browsers. I have also made sure that i have no proxies on and that no firewall is blocking my Internet. I have ran virus scans to look for malware and nothing comes up... I'm very confused.
For chrome I get errors like "err_socket_not_connected", "err_connection_closed", and "err_empty_response"
for safari it just says "safari can't open the page because safari can't establish a secure connection to the server"
please help me if you know anything! Thank you in advanced

Hi, mattkaroni.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are unable to use internet on any program that connects to the internet. This sounds like the issue would be with your internet connection. Try going through the troubleshooting steps in the article below.

Why must I restart to connect to the internet every time?

When I start my iMac the blue progress bar in the address bar freezes and will not connect to the internet. The computer itself works fine for applications not requiring internet access. Upon restarting the computer I get the internet connection right away. Occasionally (not often) I have had to restart as many as 6 times to get beyond the "freeze". This is not a problem when I use the ethernet cable, but even though this is a desktop I sometimes like to work from the comfort of another room, and being self contained it is a somewhat portable unit. I tried Airport Express, reloaded the O/S only, did a complete "Erase and Install"-all to no avail. Several phone calls to Apple Care, two visits to the Store, several calls to my DSL provider (Verizon) all got me nowhere. My wife's PC notebook does not have this issue. I am about to ask APPLE for an exchange but would just as soon get this unit working without this unproductive hassle and waste of my time. Anyone else ever have this problem? I am thinking my next attempted fix might be a new modem/router. Any recommendations there? Thanks for any input.

I really think this isn't a problem with your computer as much as it is your router.
It may not be set-up right, it may just not have a large enough range, or there may be interference.
I suggest resetting your router and reestablishing your wireless network before trying anything else. Your router's manual should help you out with the resetting.

Why won't Apple TV connect with the servers?

Ever since the introduction of IOS 7.03 and the new iPad I have had problems with my Apple TV. After selecting a movie or a TV show and selecting play, there is a long wait and then a message appears, "Apple TV is unable to connect with the servers." What is going on?

>After selecting a movie or a TV show and selecting play, there is a long wait and then a message appears, "Apple TV is unable to connect with the servers." What is going on?
There is a network problem. Are you using WiFi? Have you checked the network connection status in Settings? Have you run the network test in Settings?
