Wifi connected but won't load

My ipod touch is connected to my mac via airport:
- my mac is loading pages ok, and displays the arrow up airport icon (sharing)
- no WEP,
- i can see my assigned DHCP and subnet numbers in ipod wifi settings
- i get the blue signal icon in top left hand corner
It would be reasonable to assume at this point my ipod is connected,
BUT every app on the ipod says "Cannot Open xxx, because it is not connected..."
Haven't found an answer to this anywhere, it was working up unitl recently, tried resetting network on the ipod.
Can someone from Apple please respond???

Welcome to Apple Discussions
This is a discussion board of fellow users and not Apple employees. If you feel you need Apple Support then you can either call them or visit an Apple store and speak with a Genius.
Let's review what you have going on.
1. You are running an Airport Base. - You are broadcasting in b/g/n modes, correct?
2. You have no encryption set up. - You should really set up WPA to protect yourself.
3. When your touch is connected to the network and you tap the little blue > next to your network name you see what? Is your IP address 192.168.x.x; subnet mask 255.255.255.0; Router IP address 192.168.x.x; DNS is the same as your router address?
4. If all of the above are good, then try typing this address into the touch version of Safari: http://74.125.45.100. You should land on the homepage of Google. If not, you need to figure out what is going on with your ISP's DNS service. You may want to set your router to use the DNS addresses of OpenDNS (www.opendns.com).
Good luck and respond with what you find.

Have Wifi connection but won't load

My Iphone 3g indicates wifi connection after finding and connecting to my office router but won't load Itunes, App store or Safari pages, it will however connect via 3G. The phone is using Orange as the carrier and the phone was previously on the o2 network but was unlocked by o2 prior to putting in an Orange sim.
I have an identical Iphone (for business use) which connects fine, this is running on an O2 network but is otherwise identical.
Any suggestions are really appreciated.
Many thanks.

If you are running Lion 10.7.2 please try Lion WiFi problems fix, if you have trouble understanding it then watch the WiFi Lion Fix on YouTube . Your issue also could be with your router, it may be using a older firmware version. You will need to refer to the router mfg for instruction on how to update the router.

MacBook Pro wifi connected but won't load Internet

I've connected my MacBook Pro to my local wifi connection and it tells me that it is connected, but I can't run anything on it that needs an Internet connection (eg. Google Chrome, Skype etc.)
I've ran the 'Assist Me' checks in the Network Preferences and results have found the wifi connection to be positive..
I am so confused by this!! Somebody please help?!

First contact your ISP. You need to confirm that the issue is not on their end.
Change your router channel. Sometimes this is all you will have to do.
Power cycling the router. Read the router's user manual or contact their tech support for instructions.
System Preferences/Internet & Network/Network
Unlock the padlock
Locations: Automatic
Highlight Airport
Click the Assist Me button
In the popup window click the Diagnostic button.
System Preferences/Network- Unlock padlock. Highlight Airport. Network Name-select your name. Click on the Advanced button. Airport/Preferred Networks-delete all that is not your network.
Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined." Click the OK button and lock the padlock. Restart your computer.

After 2.0 update, WiFi still connects, but won't load pages or any internet

So I had just used the IPod touch to hit some web pages, look at weather, stocks, youtube etc... an hour later....
installed the 2.0 update with the New York Times app, now I still connect to my access point, renewing IPs still work, It IS connected to the AP, but Internet based apps time out.
Example error: Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding.
I have rebooted, restarted, restored, and all the other things I've seen mentioned, but still can't get internet traffic. At one point I even tried connecting to the AP management, was prompted for ID and password, but then blank page.
any help appreciated

Exactly the same here. Just noticed this in my local coffee shop (Neros) where I used to be able to log on to BT Openzone. Now, since updating to 2.0 version, I get the same error message as you i.e. I can find and attach to the WiFi host but cannot get any further than "Safari can't open the page because it is not connected to the internet" Tried re-booting to no avail. My WiFi works just fine at home, though. Really annoying. Any ideas ?

Macbook pro has wifi connected but won't open internet - says computer offline - works fine on ethernet and other pc's

Any ideas on how to resolve this issue - wifi is connected but the web browser won't open - gives message that computer is offline. It works fine on ethernet and also on other computers in house. no other modem or devices in home.
computer one year old.

He advised me to 'back up' everything and 'reformat' the computer.
I have been looking at how to do these tasks - not 100% on both.
The quickest way to do this is to create a clone copy of your existing internal Macintosh HD. You can create this copy using applications like Data Backup, Carbon Copy Cloner, or SuperDuper!.
I use an external USB HDD for the clone copies.
The following AppleInsider article will give you an idea on how to use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a clone backup of your Mac's hard drive.

Web UI connects but won't load

All, Suddenly, I am able to conenct to my WD MyCloud via the Desktop app, but when attempting to connect to the Web UI it won't load. Details:Connect to IP of drive via Chrome/Safari/Android Chrome/IE (tested with 4 browsers on two devices)It redirects to HTTP://"IP"/UIPage animates to say "Accessing WD MyCloud" and then "Attempting to Authenticate"The page then goes gray (other than the black bar on top with WD MyCloud logo). Nothing else - leave it for hours, it never loads.Any thoughts? Any support is greatly appreciated. Thank you,Jason

Additional notes:Tried power cycling (left off for an hour), no luck.Tried holding reset button for 4 seconds (heard it reboot), no luck.Light on front is steady Blue.Shares are accessible from Desktop app.I would try using the desktop app to apply a new firmware, but it tells me an admin must login to apply firmware...but I don't see a way to change the login ID used within the Desktop app.Not accessible from SSH/FTP/SMB.

Orange USB Modem with "Mobile Partner" connects but won't load pages

All,
I talked Orange Telecom into giving me a free trial with one of their USB modems. I plugged the modem into my MB Pro, installed the "Mobile Partner" software and configured the connection settings as specified by the Tech. I am able to connect fine using the device, however, it will not allow me to receive data, so I am unable to load web pages. The connection says that I am sending data, but not receiving anything. Any ideas on what I need to do in order to successfully receive data?
Current Settings are as follows:
Connection: Orange
APN: orange.ug
Phone Number: *99#
user: orange
password: orange
with these settings I am able to connect fine, but no data is received. I am guessing this has something to do with a setting in Network Preferences, but I can't figure out why it's not working. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Sig - thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I was sitting with the Tech rep when we configured the settings, so we are both sure the phone number was right. Additionally, I am connecting and I can see that information is being "sent," however the problem is that no information is being "received" so I am unable to load web pages, etc.
It must be some sort of problem with the network settings in Mac OS because there does not appear to be any problem connecting to the service, the problem has been receiving information. Any other suggestions or help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
JB

Internet connected but won't load, have to turn wi-fi on and off every 3 or so minutes

I have a 2011 Macbook Pro. My wi-fi is great, but I have a problem with connecting using my computer. I can connect to the wi-fi network in a second, and the internet will work fine for let's say 3-5 minutes. Then everything just stops loading. I have to turn off wi-fi, turn it back on, and re-connect to the network just for pages to load again.
This does not happen with my phone.
What can I do to fix this?

Hi jordanapple,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot this issue where your Wi-Fi connection on your Mac seems to be dropping, please follow the steps in the article linked to below.

I can make a WiFi connection but pages will not load. WiFi works for a laptop using windows

I can make a WiFi connection but pages will not load. WiFi works ok on a laptop using Windows. I have reset the WiFi settings but this makes no difference.

Thanks, Linc, but that almost helped:
Because the retina 15 only has a wifi connection (no ethernet), that's the connection I'm stuck with for the notebook. But on the 27iMac, I did have both ethernet and wifi enabled. When I turned the wifi off on the 27, therer was a brief moment when both computers were showing their counterparts when I tried to make a network connection. BUT, after a few seconds of 'searching', the computer I was trying to connect to disappeared from the Network list.
So I tried the opposite; the retina can only connect thru wifi, so that's a given. I swithched my ethernet off and then enabed the wifi on the 27 and ....same thing: When I try a network connection, there are a few seconds of 'searching', then the ony option I'm left with is share screen, which doesn't work either.
I've read the 'dropped' network is a problem with the retina, but the odd thing is that I never lose my internet connection—that continues to work fine, as does Air Drop—but I can't seem to connect, network-wise.
Any ideas about the dropped network?

Turn your router completely off (unplug it) for a few seconds, then turn it back on again and see if you can connect.

"Unable to connect to server" I have wifi connection but I'm getting this error when I try to purchase an app. Why? If anyone knows can you please help me thank you in advance. :-(

Can you load a webpage in Safari with that wifi connection? If so then it's a problem with the iTunes Store app connection. If not then your wifi isn't fully functional and you need to troubleshoot that first.

On 3G we cannot send Business emails from either our iPhones or Ipad and this also happens with some WiFi connections but not all. Yet we can always send emails from our Hotmail Account using both 3G and WiFi.
We bought the iPhones and Ipad so that we could send emails while we are out of the Office, but we are not able to do this unless we can find a WiFi connection. Incoming emails are fine. We use IMAP, for Business emails just incase this is relevant and I know that Hotmail is POP3.
Our technical IT knowledge is not great, so we look forward to your suggestions as to how to resolve this.
