My IMac is not reading the existence of my internet provider although it lists a dozen others and has been reading my provider for the last four years. How can I get it to see the existence of the provider?

Go into System Preferences and click on Network and make sure that your network is the one Located in the Network name . In my case it is ATT994.
Hopefully this does the trick for you. Make sure the Status says Connected. Location should read Automatic.
Last but not least make sure that if you are using Wireless it has the Green dot and is at the top of the list if not simply Drag it to the top of the list.
So which ever option you are using should be at the top of the list with the green dot drag it there and restart your machine and you should be good to go.

we have found where we should ad the green dot choice but it shows them all as not connected except one and that one is at the bottom of the list and it does not allow itself to be moved to the top.
In the network settings, click wifi, then advanced, and remove all of the extra networks. It sounds like one of the other networks is set as the primary, and that it keeps defaulting to that.
