Hi guys
I've had a imac for the last 2 years I've installed boot camp so half pc half mac
Trouble is my mac won't pick up the internet it says it's connected but no internet access i use the internet provided by my land lady
My old pc and iPhone pick up the internet with no problems I think it's something to do with the built in wifi
Any suggestions
Kind regards
Craig
iMac, iOS 7.0.4
Can you connect from the Mac when you're running Windows?
On the Mac side does anything work internet-wise - email, alternative browser or does nothing connect?
Only way I can connect on the windows side is through a network adapter
And no nothing works not emails or alternative browser
Not sure what version of OS X you are running, but some of the following suggestions have helped some users:
WiFi Problems:
Wifi problems seem to crop up a lot on here and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a 'one fix' solution.
However, sometimes any one of the following can help although, unfortunately, not always. In no particular order:
Check wifi security - if it's WEP change it to WPA or WPA2 (preferably, as it's more secure)
Change the wifi channel on the router
Create a new Network Location: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5289
Reboot the router
Also take a look at this link and the links within the article for other ideas. They mainly reference Lion, but still seem to be relevant to Mountain Lion and perhaps Mavericks:

One other thought - are you running any anti-virus software, or software that claims to protect your Mac? There are some that are known to occasionally muck up internet connectivity.
No I ain't running any anti virus software to my knowledge as everything had been working fine up until 2 days ago it just puzzles me that the mac connects to the router but says identifying router no internet access yet my network adapter and iPhone connect no trouble :-/
Then you have a failed piece of hardware in your Mac. WiFi card has failed. Take the system to Apple to be fixed.
Imac won't connect to the internet but other devices will
