If you have recently purchased a raspberry pi 2 and installed Raspbian it probably has a different WiFi setup using dhcpcd. See https://www.raspberrypi.org/another-raspbian-desktop-user-interface-update/

Forget any older tutorials and just use the new GUI WiFi setup. These can be made to work, but require manual configuration.
