Can connect iPhone to friend's wifi, but not MacBook Pro. Says password is invalid.t

My friend gave me her wifi password so I can connect at her house. I onnected my iPhone with no problems. But when I try to connect my MacBook Pro I keep getting a message that the password is invalid. It's the exact same password I used to connect my phone! recently she had relatives visit and the same thing happened for them. What's up?

You would do better to ask in the Mac Forum - this is the iPad forum.

  • WiFi in Asia works on iPhone but not Macbook Pro

    I am currently traveling around Asia and I have my Macbook Pro and iPhone with me.  I have had no problems connecting to WiFi networks with my iPhone (currently typing this message with it on my hotel's WiFi).  However, my Macbook Pro has had endless issues.  Sometime it works, but often it doesn't.  The most common issue is that it gets a self assigned IP address and can't connect to the internet.  It can usually find and connect to the WiFi network, but from there things get dodgy.  As I said, it sometimes works fine.  I would say it works on 1 out of every 3 networks that I try. 
    So far I have tried the following:
    Renewing DHCP Lease (without client ID and with made up client ID)
    Disabling firewall.
    Turning off wifi and them back on.
    Restarting computer.
    Deleting WiFi service and recreating.
    Creating new "location".
    Repairing permissions.
    Using different login account.
    Manually entering TCP/IP settings copied from iPhone.
    "Forgetting network" and rejoining.
    None of the above has helped, except that one time renewing DHCP lease with a made up client ID did the trick.
    I have the summer 2012 MacBook Pro 13" with OS 10.7.5 installed.
    Any help would be very appreciated.  :)

    It doesn't seem like anybody is going to respond to this thread, but I guess I will keep updating it just in case (and perhaps if I ever find a solution it will be helpful to others).
    Since my last post I have been to about 12 hotels in both Thailand and Cambodia.  This issue has continued with some variations:
    * At 3 of the hotels the wifi on my MacBook Pro actually worked!  It seemed to work ok, with minimal speed issues.
    * At 6 of the hotels the wifi did not work on my MacBook Pro, but worked fine on my iPhone.
    * At 3 of the hotels the wifi worked on my MacBook Pro but was PAINFULLY slow (to point where I couldn't upload photos, could barely check facebook, etc).  In fact, it was so slow that I basically gave up using the internet with my MacBook Pro and used my iPhone instead (which had normal speeds).
    I have continued to search the internet for solutions and nothing has helped yet.  It seems like this is a common issue with newer MacBook Pros, especially with OS Lion.
    I have also concluded that this isn't necessarily an Asia specific issue.  It seems like an issue with my MacBook Pro and using various WiFi routers with various setups.  Some work, but most do not.  Unfortunately I do not have access to any of the routers that I am using, so changing router setup is not an option.

  • Netflix works on iphone but not MacBook Pro?

    I'm a new Apple Macbook pro guy.  Switched from Window PCs after getting my iphone.  I downloaded the Netflix for iphone - works great, but Netflix on my MAC wants Silverlight.  Is that secure?  I heard you also have to enable JavaScripts - Java is secure, but JavaScripts are not?
    Old guy needs some help :-)

  • Exchange 2010 - iPhone will work in Wifi but not ATT 3g

    Hello Everyone,
    This is my first time posting, but I'm desparate!
    I have an Exchange 2010 environment at our CoLo (not on site). I can connect to it on my iPhone 4 on ANY wifi network (home, work, etc), but if I connect to it via ATT 3g - no dice. I'm pretty sure it's a DNS issue, but there's no way for me to see what ATT DNS servers are returning. Anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know how long ATT caches DNS queries? Thanks in advance!
    EDIT: It's totally DNS. I cannot hit OWA in safari either while on ATT, but again it works on WIFI everywhere. I setup DNS a little less than 24 hours ago, so I'm surprised that ATT is still having issues with it... Now I wonder if I can call ATT and see if they can flush the cached queries >.<

    EDIT 2: Of course ATT was useless. Tried to transfer me away from them (to Apple and even Microsoft lol). I guess it's just a waiting game to see if their DNS servers get with the program...

  • I can connect my lexmark printer by usb but not wireless

    i can connect my lexmark printer s400 series by usb but not wirelessly any thoughts please

    I'm having the same issue. On my MBP 15" OS 10.7.3 the Lexmark printer does not connect to WIFI. It works on the USB connection. In wifi however it will work on the Virtual Box Windows 7 partition.
    In my logic this means the printer is properly connected to the wifi (green indicator and working with Virtual Box and Windows 7) The MBP is properly connected to the wifi network as Virtual Box works in the Mac's environment. The printer is present in the System Preferences indicating it is Idle and does have a IP address.
    When I do send a document to the printer it just sits in the Que and in System Preferences the status goes to Busy. In the Que it also indicates it is busy until it tmes out and indicate that communication with the printer is a problem.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

  • Just bought an Epson 2540 Printer, connects with iPhone but not Macbook Pro

    I am able to print from my iPhone but not my Macbook Pro. Wireless test page worked fine. Turned on Sharing option, turned off firewall, and still does not connect. This is very frustrating, please help

    You may have to visit the Epson website and make sure your printer has drivers updated for Mavericks:

    Updating the drivers through this link should fix your issue. Post if there's any problem.

  • Can't log into The Cloud Wifi with Retina Macbook Pro

    Hi there,
    I've researched this extensively online but haven't found a solution so far.
    Usually, when logging into The Cloud on my iPad Air or iPhone 4S at locations like Caffe Nero, I have no problem connecting: I connect in the device's settings, and then when opening the browser, reach the The Cloud landing page which lets me log on and properly use the Wifi.
    The other day I tried doing this with my brand-spanking-new Macbook Pro with Retina (mid-2014), and the landing page just wouldn't show up. So I couldn't log on; internet-enabled apps weren't working and I only had very limited access to Google. I tried both Safari and Chrome and refreshed multiple times.
    If anyone has any ideas, I'd hugely appreciate it! Thanks!

    Hi there.
    I can't help you unfortunately, but I have exactly the same problem. My macbook air mid 2012 used to connect to the Cloud wifi, like my iPhone 5 and iPad 2 still do no problem via the login landing page, but now though the bar at the top of my screen shows me connected, I don't get taken to the landing page (and I can't get there by manually feeding its address in either) and hence can't connect to the internet.
    If you do get a resolution I'd obviously be very interested.
    Sorry I can't help, but you're not alone with this problem.

  • Can my iPhone contact list be sent to my macbook pro?

    After my most recent update to my Macbook Pro either I inadvertently deleted or it simply got wiped, but my Contacts disappeared.  I tried reverting to an older version but I simply cannot locate it.
    I have a similar but smaller contact list on my iPhone 5s.  Is there any way to transfer the list from the iPhone to the Macbook?  If so, could someone please explain the process, this old minded person cannot figure how to do it, if it is possible.  Thank you in advance.

    Yes.

  • ITunes Match on Mac but not Macbook Pro?

    Hi,
    I have paid and installed 'itunes match' on my main Mac which has my library, it has synced to my ipad, iphone 4, Apple TV and ipod touch but it isnt working to my macbook pro?! It says only one library can be used but I want my music (not all the other stuff) from my main Mac linked to my laptop, is this possible so that I dont have two librarys?
    Also, is my entire music backed up somehow just in case something happens to my mac?
    Thanks in advance...

    You're right it is strange. As it works on one system and not the other with the exact same camera and cable and the fact that you hear the shutter go off even on the system where the images don't show up would seem to indicate some difference in the configuration of Aperture on the MBP.
    Do the images ever show up? If you go to the Photos icon and search you're complete library do they appear anywhere? There isn't a filter set on the project your importing into by any chance?
    I would make a new empty library and try using that to see if it makes any difference. You could also move the com.apple.Aperture.plist file from your Library/Preferences folder to the desktop, restart Aperture and see if that makes any difference.

  • PDFs and Word Files open on iMac but not Macbook Pro

    I own an iMac and a MacBook Pro. Recently, I've been having an issue with some PDFs and Word files that have been emailed to me from different contacts. All open—and can be seen using Quick Look—on the iMac. However, on the MacBook Pro it's a different story. When I try Quick Look all I see are the icons. When I try to open the PDFs in Preview (default app for me) I get an error message saying the file could not be opened and might be damaged. When I try to open the Word doc in Word, Pages or Bean I see all of the extraneous header information etc and the text is all mixed up in that formatting junk. I have repaired permissions, cleared out my user cache, restarted—pretty much everything I can think of. But no luck. Thought?

    Brilliant suggestion! I checked all the display settings on my iMac 27" and confirmed they were the same settings as my MacBook -- until I checked the Window 7 screen resolution. Because of its size, I had expanded the screen across most of the monitor. When I changed the resolution to one suggested or configured by Windows, Approach worked fine. I've now tested it on quite a few of the settings, and as long as I let Windows determine the best resolution (on my iMac 27" it seems to be 2043 x 1276), Approach works like it should. Thank you!

  • Tethering working on MacPro but NOT Macbook Pro

    Having a problem with tethering when using it with my laptop. Macbook Pro (6.1), Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and Aperture 3.1.1.
    My MacPro is working without any problem. (Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and Aperture 3.1.1)
    I have tried both my cameras Canon 5Dmk2 and Canon 20D. Both cameras are recognized in both Macbook Pro and MacPro but only on the MacPro the images will show up. In my Macbook Pro I can press capture and both cameras react but then nothing happens.
    Strange it works on one computer but not the other one.
    Any suggestions?

  • Problem running Windows software on iMac but not MacBook Pro

    I just got an iMac 27" to replace my old iMac 24". I also have a MacBook Pro.
    I am using the same version of Parallels 7 and Windows 7 on both my iMac 27 and my MacBook to run Lotus Approach 9.8 (part of a SmartSuite package).
    Lotus Approach works fine on my MacBook (as it did on my old iMac 24), but when I open database files on my iMac 27, the database screen starts flashing (rewriting the screen in some endless loop) and the program becomes inoperable.
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled Parallels 7, Windows 7 and the Lotus software on my iMac 27, but that did not resolve the problem.
    I need to use the Lotus Approach software on my iMac 27 -- so I can convert the Approach databases to FileMaker.
    Any ideas about what the problem might be on the iMac 27 or what I can to to fix this problem? Is this a hardware problem, a driver problem, or something else?

    Brilliant suggestion! I checked all the display settings on my iMac 27" and confirmed they were the same settings as my MacBook -- until I checked the Window 7 screen resolution.
