WiFi doesn't work even though it says that it is connected

When i connect to some WiFi networks it says that i'm connected but when i try to do something like access the iTunes store it says that i don't have WiFi. It happens with some WiFi network and for others it works fine. how ca i fix this so it works 100% of the time? I have the latest firmware and the network that i try to use does not require a log in. It is a secure network and i type in the password and it says that i am connected.

Sometimes, if the WiFi is very weak, it won't connect all of the way.
If it says you are connected in the Settings app, but the WiFi strength isnt being shown next to "iPod" in the status bar (the bar at the top of the screen with the time and battery) then the connection is bad. To verify if a connection is working, I see if Safari can load a webpage. If it can't, then your connection is crappy.
Also, a router could be broadcasting a signal, but no internet. Make sure your router is properly configured.

  • I've updated to Firefox 7.01, and now Flash Player 11 doesn't work, even though everything says that it's been successfully installed on Firefox. What to do?

    I've downloaded Flash Player 11.0.1.152 for non-IE browsers from the Adobe Download Center, installed it all fine, says it's successfully installed even on this page:
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    But it still tells me to download it when I try to play YouTube videos, BBC iPlayer, etc. I'm on Windows 7 64-bit, though that shouldn't be a problem since the installer says that it includes both 64-bit and 32-bit versions (which should suit the 32-bit Firefox 7.01 just fine).

    Problem fixed. Had to uninstall Flash from the control panel and then reinstall.

  • Just got a new router and now my ipad 1 says it can not connect to the server, even though it says that it is connected to wi fi

    Just put in a new router and now my ipad 1 will not connect to the server.  It is connected to the wifi though.  Does this mean my ipad is too old?  Any suggestions on what to do?

    You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
    Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the "i" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1 it will not connect to the wifi network at work even though it recognizes it. It however still automatically connects to the network at home. I have restared the phone and toggled the router, still no connection

    After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1 it will not connect to the wifi network at work even though it recognizes it. It however still automatically connects to the network at home (this is the network I used to update the phone). My iPad however does not seem to have any problem connecting. I have restared the phone, toggled the router, re-entered the network password but there's still no connection.

    When your device is trying to connect to the work Wi-Fi network, go to Settings > Wi-Fi > then tap on the name of the Netowrk that she is having trouble with. Then tap on forget this network. Let the device attempt to connect again and make absolutely sure she is trying to connect to the work network and not a nearby network, then make absolutely sure the password is entered correctly.

    How much iphone 4s wifi chip cost?Still my 4s wifi is not working even though I already updated it to ios7. Thank You!!!..

    You cannot replace just the chip. If all of the various solutions suggested in Apple's support documents and here in these forums do not help, you will need to 1) take or send your iPhone to Apple for replacement, 2) pay to have an unauthorized third-party shop attempt repairs, or 3) attempt repairs yourself. The latter two options will void any further support from Apple.
    Regards.

  • HT201272 I connected my iphone to iTunes and it erased my ringtones. It also makes me pay for my ringtones over again on the iTunes app, even though it says that I've already previously purchased the item.

    I should mention that I also did a restore hoping that would solve the problem but it did not, and it was after this that I lost some of my music. 

  • Droid razr maxx calendar does not show up on gmail calendar even though it says that it has synced?

    droid razr maxx calendar does not show up on gmail calendar even though it says that it has synced?

    I had this same issue. I solved it finally by downloading the free "official" google calendar disabling the phone calendar app (Google Calendar - Android Apps on Google Play) and disabling the phone calendar. Then you need to choose your gmail account to sync with your calendar app. Now my entries on the phone are showing up on my PC.

  • My wifi is constantly getting disconnected even though it says i'm still connected.

    While i'm just doing random things on the internet and everything seems fine and then all of a sudden if i'm oppening up a link or trying to refresh a page, it just keeps loading and eventually says I have no connection. I then look at my wifi status and it says i'm still connected and have to either wait a minute or two or just turn the wifi on and off again which fixes it instantly for another few minutes. This can be really annoying for online games where I can't even play becasue of my constant dissconections. Is there any way to fix this or is a service provider/ router problem?

    When conencted to wifi, go to Settings > General > Date & Time
    And either:
    1. Switch "Set Automatically" to "ON" or
    2. Switch "Set Automatically" to "OFF" and set your time zone manually

  • Port Forwarding doesn't work even though I did everything properly

    I am trying to set up a server that went down after I tried a different way of hosting it with a program that messed everything up and when ever i try forwarding any port, even though I know how, I do everything I need to do and I check if my port is open on canyouseeme.org and it shows up as no route to host.  Is there a firewall in the airport i need to disable for it to work?

    Problem fixed. Had to uninstall Flash from the control panel and then reinstall.

  • Java 7.45 update doesn't work, even though I've enabled the add-on. Help!

    Updated to Java 7.45 and now it doesn't work in Firefox. I'm running Firefox 25 in Windows XP. Java works fine in Explorer, but not Firefox. Have enabled (Always Activate) in my Add-on Manager. Have re-installed and re-booted, un-installed older versions of Java - still not working. Help!

    Thanks cor-el,
    Yes, in the Firefox Tools/Add-ons Manager, the Java Platform shows as Always Activate.
    And the Java Console also shows as checked in Enable Java content in the browser (in the Security tab), as well as checked as the default Java for both Firefox and Explorer (in the Advanced tab).
    Other ideas?

  • I bought an itunes giftcard last night and I redeemed it. However even though it says that I have $25.12 in my account, every time that I try to buy a song it goes right to my billing information.

    I have been using Itunes for at least 5 years and I have never had a problem with it. I recently bought a $25.00 Itunes giftcard and last night I redeemed it. When I get on my itunes account it says that I have $25.12. However, when I go to buy a song, everytime it goes to my billing information and that only way that I can buy a song is if I put my credit card information in. How do I get it to stop, and let me buy a song with the money that is in my itunes account?

    Itunes verifies your account using billing info.

  • Java plugin doesn't work, even though it's installed correctly and java programs work.

    As stated. I have a link in ~/.mozilla/plugin that points to test/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so, which is the java 6 update 21 runtime environment.
    Java doesn't show in about:plugins, and java applets don't start (firefox suggests to install missing plugins).
    Java programs using the jre outside the browser work.
    This is on Linux 32-bits, Slackware 13.0, kernel 2.6.34.

    Where did you read that?<br />
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java<br />
    In Firefox 3.6 and later versions you need the Next-Generation Java™ Plug-In present in Java 6 U10 and later (Linux: libnpjp2.so; Windows: npjp2.dll).
