Wifi/Internet Connects, but Will not allow me to access certain websites
I have sudden-link 3G/5G wifi personal network at home. It has 50 mbps and I have access to many websites. Now here is the problem, whenever I try to use a search engine, it will not allow me to use it. I have tried using google.com, yahoo search engine, and bing. It will not even allow me to use Facebook. My girlfriend has a lenovo and all of her websites work just fine, even the search engines. So that tells me it is not a network issue, it is a macbook issue. I have looked at many other troubleshoots, tried changing ip addresses and dns server problems and even proxy servers. If anyone has any other troubleshooting tips or any kind of answer to this, then please let me know. It is quite annoying when I try to use a search engine and it won't work.

I have a $50 credit showing and will not access it for puchases? Any advice? Thanks-
How/when was the account created ? Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
If you are being prompted to review your account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054
If not then you will need to enter your credit card details - you should be able to remove them after entering them.
If you are trying to gift content then you will need to have a credit card on your account, you can't use your balance for gifting. -
I use google as my homepage. Very often( every day at some point) when I search a subject and click on the address, a google search page come up with list of choices. When I click on address it simply returns to this page and will not let me access any websites either by clicking on them, opening in new window or tab, nor allowing me to access anything from the address line. When this occurs, it just keeps looping into this page. I clear cache, shut down, and try everything possible. Occurs very randomly and never when I first turn on the computer. ???????
Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
* Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"

Ipad3 - Wifi apparently connected but does not allow access
i have some problems in the identify phase. I put alongside the old ipad1 64 gb 3g with the new ipad3 64 gb 4g. Apparently both connected to the network, but while the ipad1 connects without any problems, the ipad3 does not access the internet or mail. Then I have to disable the wifi settings and then re-enable it. Only in this way the ipad 3 works. This problem occurs both at home and in the Office
Hopefully it's just a software problem....Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

What more is there to say? I was given an address to use in a project I am working on. It does NOT include www in the address. Every time I try to get to the site, I enter the address and firefox inserts www into the address and if I click on it, I am informed that firefox can't located the site try again, maybe I misspellled it, etc. Since I copied it directly from the e-mail I was sent AND I have gone to that site using the link provided in the e-mail I KNOW I can get there and it would seem that the site exists.
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== todayReading PDF files is not Firefox, you can read file external to the browser or with a plugin.
The Download Window closes instantly the download finishes or may not even open at all bring it back with Ctrl+J
You are using Foxit Reader instead of Adobe Reader
make sure it is compatible with Firefox 5 if it is running within Firefox, check their site
or install Adobe Reader unfortunately it comes with Adobe Air
whatever that it, and being adobe you have to watch out for
crapware also being install, McAfee Security Scan, Google Chrome, Adobe Air -
My phone will not let me download the most recent update for iOS 7.1. It says I need a wifi connection and will not allow me to push the 'Download & Install' button, even when I am at home and my wifi is on. How do I fix this?
Unfortunately yes, though technology would never move on if it kept to older standards and did not strive to do more.
The app store always gives you the option to use a previous version of the app IF it is available for your device.
Sorry but you are stuck without new hardware.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

I have a new air print-capable printer and am signed up to Verizon wifi+3G service but will not have wifi while traveling. Is there anyway to print from my iPad in this situation? Cannot the IPad be hooked up to a printer with a cable? If not, this seems to me to be a real shortcoming with an iPad!
iPads cannot be connected to a printer using a cable.
You need some form of Wi-Fi network to print. You do not need to have that Wi-Fi network connected to the internet. There are some devices that will create a Wi-Fi network and allow you to print. Google it to find someplace ossicle solutions. -

After I updated to iOS 7, my iCloud account is showing the incorrect email address for my Apple ID but will not allow me to change it- it's gray and I can't click on it. How do I fix this?
If you change your email, you do not need to "change" your AppleID. Just edit your email(s) on your Apple ID by logging in to your AppleID account. You should always use the same AppleID for Apple Services (iCloud, iTunes etc) and multiple ID will cause problems and confusion in the future.
