starbucks wifi problems

i've been suffering this same "accept and connect" issue for ages.

my ipad just can't quite get to that screen. once it does, the starbucks wifi works well, but getting there is frustrating.

trying huff or my local library seems to work, eventually, so i will try the purple.com fix, but something is off-kilter.

i use chrome, and it does help if i close all the windows.

no problems on other free-wifi usually.

my daughter has the same thing on an ipod.

anyhow, i keep thinking someday it'll resolve itself.

If you ever have any problems connecting to the internet using the "Google Starbucks" wifi Please call their tech support at 18554462374 right away and report it. they are trying to identify and correct any issues as fast as possible and at every location.

I had the same wifi-connectivity problem at three different locations (1 in NY, 2 in CA) for months.

I have a solution that finally worked for me (I have a macbook pro; yosemite): clear your proxy setting.

Go to network settings, advanced, and under the Proxies tab, I found that I still had my school's proxy setting. After deleting the school proxy info and clicking "Apply", the browser (Safari or Chrome) reloaded itself and automatically connected to the starbucks google Accept page. Of course, if you still need the school proxy setting, you might need to re-enter it again (so this may not be the best solution for such individuals), but this worked for me since I graduated and no longer needed to connect to the school wifi.

Hope this helps 🙂

I had a problem with the terms and condition not popping up today and called the support number 855-446-2374 (as mentioned below).

They advised me to try launching chrome and heading to sbux-portal.appspot/rd it didn't work. So we removed the wifi connection and erased it from the memorized wifi list, cleared browser histroy, restarted the computer and wala it worked! It's most likely that there was a bad cashe somewhere.

Hope that helps!

I had this problem today with my MacBook Pro (vintage 2012). I fixed it by disabling Captive Network Assistant and then opening cnn.com in a browser window immediately after connecting. Here's how to disable Captive Network Assistant:

Importantly, I had disabled Captive Network Assistant in the past and it recently reappeared, probably because of some automatic update. I figured out that it was the problem again (to my surprise) by running Wireshark.

I had the same problem and called Google support at 1-855-446-2374. I have a MacBook. They answered right away and told me to do the following, which worked for me when nothing else did:

- Open google chrome browser

- click on the "settings" button, which is the three dots on the top right of the browser window

- go to "more tools"

- go to "clear browsing data"

- check the box that says "media licenses" and click "clear browsing data" (you can do it for "the past day" or whatever time frame you want)

- restart your computer

This worked for me when nothing else did. Hope it helps! If not, call the number I listed above for Google wifi support. They were quick and helpful.

This happened to me. I've read a few forums saying this is an issue with OS and there are many long fixes, but read a quick tip to go to www.apple.com and the security window pops up - this has worked for me!

Ive used my Air at likely 100+ diff. Starbucks, never an issue.

ask if their network is down, Starbucks is 'on the cheap' for connectivity. Especially if crowded

I second PlotinusVeritas' comment:

"Starbucks is 'on the cheap' for connectivity, especially if crowded."

That wasn't true years ago, but it certainly has seemed that way to me recently as well.

This is most likely to the change from AT&T to google. It's not your macbook air, trust me. I have a macbook from '08 thats suffering the same. It's a network issue.

starbucks has trashy unreliable free wifi 😐

theres not much else to be said about it.

Has nothing at all to do with your Mac.

Maybe they forgot to pay tax on their ISP bill and got cut off

This is the only thing that worked!!!!!!!!

thank you!!!!!!!!!

most bizarre tech fix ever, but I'll take it!!

Thank very much for this.

It worked for me.

Thanks, this worked.
