Why won't my Power Book connect to the internet via Airport (AEBS) ?

Since getting a new Broadband provider and ADSL modem (before I had cable modem which worked perfectly) which is cabled up to my EMAC (with Airport card) I cannot connect my Power Book to the internet ? I have reconfigured and hopefully set the preferences correctly on both computers i.e. Personal Web sharing- On, Internet sharing -On etc.
I can send files between the two computers and they connect to my network fine, but the Power Book cannot get the internet. Can anyone please help ?

Personal Web Sharing is not necessary.
I believe VickyMC is using her eMac to share the Internet account to her PowerBook. She has Personal Web Sharing enabled so that the ports are opened to allow access through the eMac to the Internet.

If your not hearing dial tone you might have your phone plugged into the wrong port. Most modems have 2 outlets, one is labeled line ( that is the one you should have plugged into the jack (RJ11C). If that's correct, query the modem and see if it tests OK, you may have a defective modem.

Help, I cannot connect to the internet via airport with either my Imac or I-Pad. Connecting via ethernet works okay for Imac. I can connect wirelesssly with my windows laptop. I have reset my router, created a new network. It was all okay on Monday

Normally I have my IMac, I-Pad and Windows Laptop all working on my home network via wi-fi. This week I find that I cannot access the inetrnet on my IMac or I-pad via wi-fi but I can connect to the internet via wi-fi with my windows based laptop.
The airport diagnostics (reds/yellows) indcate that I am connected
I can access the internet if I plug my IMac into the router via an ethernet cable
I have restarted the IMac and the I-Pad, rebooted the router and created a new network. None of these changes has made a difference. Does anyone have any ideas please?

Why won't my Macbook pro connect to the internet, yet my desktop PC will?

My 13 inch Macbook Pro was purchased back in March of this year, but recently I've been unable to connect to the internet. Within the network settings it says that my Airport is on and has a self assigned IP and that both the ethernet and firewire are not connected. Yet when on my desktop PC, everything seems to be working fine. I've concluded that it couldn't be my router, at least I'm pretty confident it's not.
I've tried the usual reboot, unplug router routine but it still won't budge.
Please help!

Just connected my ethernet cable directly to my macbook, and the internet is working fine. So is this an issue with my router then?

Why can't I no longer connect to the Internet via my AirPort Extreme Base?

I suddenly can no longer connect to the Internet through my AirPort Extreme. Everything was fine until this morning. My Base Station is connected to a DSL modem and then my computer connects to the Internet wirelessly through the Base Station. The center light is on in the Base Station. The left light flickers telling me there is wireless activity. I can still access my printer through the Base Station. But the right light is no longer flickering. I have rebooted everything several times. Does anyone have insight into this problem. This is the second time this has happened. For over a month I could not access the Internet through the Base Station, and then suddenly and arbitrarily it started working again. This morning it just stopped again.

I've had the same problem - mine started after I upgraded to 10.4.8 on my MacBook a week or so ago.
I can see other networks around my home and when I travel, but can only connect via ethernet cable (and my ISP is comcast - I thought the upgrade was supposed to help make connecting with comcast better).
My G3 has no problem connecting, so I don't think it's exactly a problem with my modem, or base station, or even comcast. I think it has something to do with my base station and upgrading to 10.4.8. Btw, dropping back to 10.4.6 hasn't helped.

My iMac can't connect to the internet via airport

I brought a third computer, iMac G5, into the house. The first two Intel Macs connect to the internet. The third doesn't see the network. How can I connect

How are your Intel Macs connecting to the Internet? If wirelessly, what type of Wi-Fi equipment are you using? Is your wireless base station configured to support 802.11b or 802.11g clients? If you connect that iMac G5 to the base station with an Ethernet cable, can it connect to the Internet?

Password doesn't save when connecting to the internet via Airport

When I try and connect through Airport to my wireless internet connection an error message comes up almost immediately with the message that the "connection has timed out".
The only way I can get the internet through Airport is if I run through the Network Diagnostics scheme and re-enter my password which I have previously entered and checked off to save.
This is getting really frustrating every time I turn on my computer and it has only been an issue since I upgraded to Leopard. I have all the current updates and drivers installed.
I've checked Keychain Access to see if it was being overridden by an earlier password but that's not the case. What else can I do to automatically have Airport connect to the internet?

Have you deleted all the Airport keychains and created a new location ? That might fix it.

Why won't my iPhone 5c connect to the internet without wi-fi?

This is so strange, but I can't use my iPhone 5c apps when I'm not connected to wifi. This makes no sense because I have a data plan. It's not unlimited, but I've already checked with my carrier, and my data for the month has barely been used. The internet simply doesn't work without wi-fi. I've tried everything short of restoring the phone to its factory settings. I've done a hard reset by pressing the home and power buttons at the same time, powered the phone off and on several times. I've tried resetting the network settings. Nothing has worked. On wi-fi, my phone will work just fine. I can connect to all my apps and the internet. But on LTE or 3G, I can't even send an iMessage.
I really don't want to have to head into the Apple store and get a new phone, but I will if no one can figure out what's wrong. I'm about to try a full restore to factory settings after backing everything up to my computer. So we'll see how it goes.

I would check under settings < cellular that everything is turned on (or at least for the apps you want to use cellular data)
But with having mulitiple issue on cell data, it sounds like a possible issue the carrier would want to address. '

Why won't my macbook air connect to the internet?

I recently arrived at my relatives house and connected to their guest internet via password. I opened network preferences, selected the network, and it connected. Then when I went to google chrome and safari, I was sent to a page where a login password was required. I entered this password and surfed the internet until mid day. Then this evening I went to log on to the internet and my macbook air wouldn't bring up the log in page like it had earlier this morning and yesterday evening. My iPod touch connects just fine, and so do the windows computers in the house. There is a three-device limit for the guest internet, but currently there is only one computer on it. I tried restarting my macbook several times, I deleted the account from the list of frequently accessed wifi spots, but nothing seems to work. Help please! And nothing too technical, I'm not really too computer savvy. Thanks.

I recently had a similar problem. I tried many solutions that others propsed.
My particular solution, I "looked" into my Westell router and found its IP address. Seeing the other 5 devices (all were working on the internet), I saw how the ending number of the address identified the particular device on the router. I went to the System Preferences on the MacBook Air, opened up Network, chose Advanced and went to the tab TCP/IP and then in the Configure IPv4 address pull down used the manual DHCP and entered a new number that was 12 higher than another computer.
Example 192.168.200.1 was router, another computer was 192.168.200.68 and I gave the Air .80 as the last number. It worked!
I don't know what will happen when I return to my usual home network where it was working as well as on others.
Best of luck to all who have this problem.

HT3546 Although I am connected to the internet via Airport the internet connection does not stay on and comes with a "time-out" message. The airport connection is still on however. I have recently bought an old Mac Book 1.1.

I have recently bought an old Mac Book after having purchased an iPhone and iPad.
The internet connection (via Airport) keeps timing out while the Airport connection is still on as confirmed by the Mac and shown on the task bar.
Any ideas?
Thank you,

I can no longer connect to the internet via Airport Extreme. HELP!

Over the weekend my Macbook told me that my Airport extreme firmware needed to be updated, so I did that, now I have no internet connection from the Airport. I have no problem connecting to the Airport itself, but I have no actual internet connection. The connection is fine when I plug an ethernet cable directly into the computer.
I really hope someone can help with this!

Hi DaveX83 and welcome to the discussions.
A few things to try.
Press the reset button once on the back of your Extreme and let it restart. Check for proper operation.
If no help there, keep the ethernet cable connected, and open Airport Utility. Click on Manual Setup near the bottom of the pane. On the next screen click the Airport icon at the upper left of the pane, then click Wireless in the line just below that reads Summary - Time Capsule - Wireless - Access.
Check to see that your wireless is set up, security set up, passwords, etc. You may need to reconfigure your wireless settings again and update the Extreme to store them and restart.
Hope this helps.

Why won't my iphone 3 connect to the internet but will connect to wifi?

Could someone please help me? I have a Iphone 3G 4.2.1. I can connect with wifi, but as soon as I turn wifi off or get out of range of wifi I cannot connect. I do have a data package on my service. How can I fix this? Thanks

Do you have signal for your DATA?
Setting>General>MOBILE DATA is this ON?
If YES then switch it to OFF
Then wait for ten seconds and switch ON again
Not very techinacal but sometimes it dose the trick!

My iphone 5 won't make a call when i fail to connect to the internet via 3g

My iphone 5 won't call when i fail to connect to the internet via 3g.
At work i dont have wifi i have 3g, if i launch say the sky go app,or the iplayer, sometimes they work and everything is fine...sometimes they wont load as 3g for whatever reason cant get a connection at that particular time........ if i then try and make a call the call will fail. I've experimented 25 + times and this is definately the cause.
(note: when the 3g connection does work, the phone has absolutely no problem calling people)
Anyone had this problem?
Even better has anyone got a solution?
Thanks,
Nick.

Are you sure that the carrier's signal is strong where you are having this problem? Certain building structures and locations have poor cellular signal strength and this often results in the "No Service" indication. Are other users able to get service in the same locations where you have problems?

Hello Rattisate,
Sorry to hear you are not able to connect to Wi-Fi on your MacBook Pro. I would be concerned about this too. You can find information on how to troubleshoot this in the following article:

Why do we want a cellular network with a special service plan to connect to the internet via a BlackBerry smartphone?

I always wondered why we need a cellular network with a special service plan to connect to the internet via a BlackBerry smartphone?  This problem is not occuring on smartphones of other brands. Can anyone please explain this to me?
Hasanta

Hello,
The reason is that, with legacy (e.g., pre-BB10) devices, the device itself does not do all of the work to provide you with your services. Rather, there is infrastructure (BlackBerry Internet Service - BIS) hosted at the carriers/BlackBerry that provides linkages between your device and certain services. This includes, among many things, email...unlike non-BB smartphones, the BlackBerry on-device email client is not a "full" email client; it depends on BIS in order to provide the "push" email capability that BBs rely on.
This BIS infrastructure is unique to BlackBerry, and only services BB users. Hence, it costs extra for the carriers to provide services for BB users, and therefore they can demand from their BB users a higher cost dedicated service plan so as to enable those proprietary services for the BB users. (In some markets, there is no extra charge for BIS...but the requirement for BIS nevertheless remains in all markets for legacy BB users.)
So, this is not a "problem" per se...but rather a difference between BlackBerry devices/services and others. One could instead think of it as a "market discriminator", favoring BlackBerry (only for those who desire such, of course).
With BB10 (Z10, Q10, Q5), BIS has been eliminated btw.
Good luck!
