Wi-fi is connected but safari and mail say "not connected to the internet" and "check outgoing server"

When I try to connect to safari, I receive the notice "safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet". I get a similar message when i attempt to open any of my three mail accounts, which I have since deleted and tried to reset. The message is something along the lines of "cannot open account - check outgoing mail server..."
I am using the same wi-fi address I've always used. The ipod shows that it is connected to the server and should not be having problems.
I've already done a network reset, twice. Other computers in my house work just fine. This was a spontaneous issue that began two days ago. Again, it's affecting both mail and safari (that includes itunes store, maps, anything internet based, really - it says "cannot connect")
Thanks.

I am using a MacBook Air connected to my home WiFi and the connection is trouble free. When I try to connect my 3G iPhone to the same network it asks for my password to join and then shows the WiFi connection with full bars BUT when I launch Safari on the iPhone is says:
"Cannot Open Page"
"Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet"
I went to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings ... and this did not help
I went to Setting > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings ... and this did not help
I checked the DNS settings under Wi-Fi > my home network > DHCP and the address there (192.168.10.1) matched the number on my MacBook Air under "Network Preferences"
Safari on my iPhone was working flawlessly with Wi-Fi connection only 24 hours ago.

Please provide more information about the issue you are experiencing. What mail provider? What is the exact error? Do you mean that you can get onto your Facebook page via the internet? How do you see these as being related?

I am having trouble with iMessage being activated. It has worked up until yesterday and now won't activate and is saying no address in the send and receive section. My number is there but not ticked. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

iMessage and FaceTime went down yesterday for some people. Mine is still down. My iMessage is saying the same thing about being activated. Sounds like you are still down too. Ignore the status page that says everything is fine - it lies.

I have a ipad 64GB Wifi 3G and i can not get onto the internet, i have set up wifi but it wont get on the net

i have a ipad 64GB Wifi 3G and i can not get onto the internet, i dont have a data plan yet & i have set up wifi but it wont conect to the internet

From your description above I conclude that the WiFi transmitter and receiver of your iPad appear to be working, but I abviously cannot tell how well they are working.
Have you reset your iPad already?
Press the Home and sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until only the white Apple logo appears on the screen - usually 10 to 15 seconds - ignore anything else.

Having trouble with WWF, internet and mail says not conected to WiFi but I am and says I don

Says I have no WiFi connect but I do. When I try to play WWF will let me play word but doesn't update. Interet says Safari not conected to internet but I am. Will not update my e-mail. Any suggestiosn. I tried turning off IPAD but doesn't do anythig different?

Try this....
Reboot your router by unplugging it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again. Close all apps on your iPad in the recents tray, then reboot your iPad as well.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Have TC green light. It won't update firmware and I'm not coneected to the internet. I can, however, connect with ethernet direct to Imac

I have a grren light on TC but the firmware update fails because I'm not connected to the net. I have the ethernet cable from my Charter cable modem connected to TC and trying to connect automatically but it's not working. Can anyone help?

Have you performed a full modem reset on your device and network power cycle?
If not, please try the following:
Push the reset button on the modem and then power it off
Pull the battery if its easily accessible
Power down everything else on your network
Wait at least 15 minutes, 30 would be better, 60 even better.
Power up the modem first and let it run by itself for a few moments
Start the next device connected to the modem, probably your Time Capsule, the same way
Start each device the same way until all network devices are back up
If your modem is functioning corrrectly, and you have the TC configured correctly, you will be connected to the Internet.

I have an iphone4s and it keeps telling me I can't connect to iTunes. Also if I'm on the Internet and I'm searching something and I click a link that sends me to iTunes it won't play. How do I fix this?

I can't connect to my iPhone you tube app on iPhone 4s. Also if I'm searching the Internet I can't connect to you tube if I click a search link. Can you please tell
E what to do to fix this?thanks.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

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.
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

In Safari, very often says not connected to internet

Constantly getting error screen that could not find server (major sites not obscure ones) or not connected to internet. All lights on AT&t U-verse DSL are on green as needed. Will go to other sites, no problem.

Please give a specific example of a site you're having problems with.

My imessage has not been working. the internet and imessage only work on wifi. how do i fix this

MY IMESSAGE HAS NOT BEEN WORKING. IT ONLY WORKS WHEN I AM CONNECTED TO WIFI. THE INTERNET DOESNT WORK EITHER. I TRIED EVERYTHING AND NO ONE ON THE VERIZON PHONE NUMBER WILL ANSWER.

First make sure cellular data is toggled on.
Secondly make sure airplane mode is set to off.
Thirdly, make sure to toggle to "on" the send text/SMS/MMS if you cannot use imessage.
I don't know what model iPhone you have, if a 5,5c, or 5s make sure the Sim card is functioning properly. (Remove with device turned off, the carefully place back in device) then turn on the iPhone.
Hopefully problem solved.

How do I set up a new iphone so that contacts, calanders, and mail do not sync to the other phones in my houshold?

I just purchased a new iPhone 4S for my 11 year old daughter. After setting it up today, and entering in our apple ID, all of my contacts appeared in her contact list, same with emails and messages. How do I set it up so that all my garbage isn't in her phone? Thanks

Don't let her use your iCloud account on her iPhone.
On her iPhone, go to Settings > iCloud and select Delete Account at the bottom.
She can create her own email account if she has one, or you can create an iCloud account for her to be used on her iPhone for email account access, syncing contacts, calendar events, and notes.
You also need to sign out of the Apple ID for iMessage on her iPhone as well and she needs to activate iMessage on her iPhone with her own Apple ID.

I downloaded Lion to my iMac and now can not get on the internet

I cant figure what i have done wrong my other computers are working fine.

You can get Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
