Can't connect macbook pro to internet with airport extreme

Can't connect macbook pro to internet with airport extreme

If you have ethernet still on your MBP plug it in by ethernet and tell me if that works.
Tell me how the Airport is setup.. what broadband modem and router you have.
What OS on the laptop? Yosemite I guess.. since it is the most troublesome.
Did it work before whatever change was made? Has it worked in the past? When did it stop and what did you do that coincided with it stopping?
Upgrade to Yosemite??

  • Can't connect Macbook Pro to TV with HDMI

    I have a Macbook Pro (osx Lion) and I can not connect it to my tv. I am using a mini display port to HDMI adapter to connect to my Insignia TV. Whenever I connect it the screen on my laptop goes blue for a second but nothing shows up on the TV. When I check for displays nothing happens and the TV says no signal. I have tried using other cords and have had the same result. When I try to use the same cord and adapter on a different TV it works just fine. The TV model is an Insignia LCD TV NS-L22Q-10A. Please help, I have tried various methods and still can not get it to work.

    Hello Alley-cat,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    I found an article to assist with troubleshooting external displays connected to your mac that should prove helpful.
    Named Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays you can find it here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573.
    No video or no signal, image distortion, "snow," or flickering
    Check connections
    When using an external display be sure to check the following:
    If you're using an Apple notebook, confirm the AC power cable or adapter is securely connected to the computer and the cable providing power to the display is also secure. It is always good to have your notebook connected to AC power when an external display is in use.
    Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:
    Monitor and Display Adapter Table
    About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
    Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
    Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
    If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
    Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
    If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolutionStart by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.
    All the very best,

  • Can I connect my Linksys WRT160N V3 with Airport Extreme via ethernet cable?

    I have a Linksys WRT160N V3 router (Living Room) to my cable modem but the wifi does not reach certain spots in the house where its necessary.  If I buy a Airport Extreme and place it in my bedroom and connect it with an ethernet cable that I have connected with my iMac will the airport extreme work as a wifi extender since wifi does not reach my room?

    Yes, the AE can be simply put in bridge mode so it will become an AP and set the wireless to create a wireless network.. you can then use same name and same security as linksys.. this is called roaming network.

    Although the apple instructions have two apple routers, any two wireless routers will work the same way.

  • Can I connect a wi-fi antenna with Airport Extreme?

    I use my apartment's WI-FI signal to get internet using a wi-fi antenna. So basically my question is, can I simply plug in the antenna (uses a usb cable) to the airport extreme?
    I tried doing just that, used my laptop to login to the airport extremem...then tried to get on the internet that way, but it doesn't work. So it appears that I need a modem attached to the airport extreme. Is my logic correct?

  • Can't connect to Xbox 360 live with Airport Extreme wirelessly

    Just bought Airport Extreme and Xbox 360 slim and we are having trouble connecting wirelessly.
    When testing connection on Xbox, some problems:
    - MTU setting not high enough
    - does not have assigned IP address
    Been trying all day and getting frustrated.  Any help appreciated.

    Unfortunately, the AirPorts do not offer a means to change MTU settings.

  • Can a New MacBook Pro that comes with 10.7 run 10.6?

    Well its been a long time visiting the discussions for me, just after the new format, and I still hate it and it does seem painfully slow, but have a question. Now to figure out How to Post it.
    Can a New MacBook Pro that comes with 10.7 run 10.6 ? Hate losing Rosetta. Whoops, search came up with this.
    Actually you can, at this time, downgrade the new MBPs to SL if you have the correct version od SL. You need at least 10.6.7 for it to work on the current run of MBPs. Once they come out with a newer, 2012, MBPs I have no idea if SL could be installed.
    Guess I better hurry.
    Anyone disagree? It use to be you would get a msg saying No. But from looking I see some places in the states selling them with 10.6 installed and a free upgrade to 10.7. Not that option here.
    So where is that enter key to post

    Thanks.
    I'm reluctant to wade into this but I noticed that if Mactracker is to be believed, the Early and Late MacBook Pro have the same Model Identifier, which would suggest that the SL installer for the Early MBP might see the Late MBP, which came with Lion, as close enough for government work. While the SL installer wouldn't necessarily be 100% suitable for the Lion Machine and probably wouldn't allow installing over the existing Lion partition, I can imagine it working on a clean partition or external USB or Firewire drive. A 10.6.8 combo updater could then configure the SL installation for the MBP it's actually on.

  • Using Carbon Copy Cloner which is quicker firewire 800 Macbook Pro to external hard drive or Macbook Pro to same via Airport Extreme?

    Using Carbon Copy Cloner which is quicker firewire 800 Macbook Pro to external hard drive or Macbook Pro to same via Airport Extreme?

    Firewire 800 is the fastest and most reliable. Also it's bootable if you hold the option key down on a wired or built in keyboard.  Not bootable via Airport obviously or if Filevault is used.
    It's only your first clone that's usually takes the longest, it's shorter when it updates as you only do the changes which you can control to keep a pure clone if you wish.

  • How to connect a MacBook Pro to internet with no cable, no Wifi, no ADSL?

    I'll need to connect my MacBook Pro to internet in an environment without any of the above mentioned means.
    1. What are the possibilities? GSM (mobile phone), a modem (express card?)?
    2. Where can I find the information on how to proceed?
    Thanks!

    Hello,
    You can use a mobile phone as a modem. This can be done manually by yourself or automatic by a commercial third party software:
    Manual: you need the right scripts and connection settings and enter them manually in your network configurations. You find the right scripts and configuration hints here: http://www.taniwha.org.uk
    Automatic: try the demo of launch2net at http://www.launch2net.com which features a powerful configuration assistant which already includes all necessary network settings and scripts.
    The other option would be to use the XU 870 ExpressCard modem from Novatel at http://www.novatelwireless.com. If you are living in the USA and use Cingular, Apple has released a so called WWAN update with all settings. So you can use this ExpressCard in Cingular networks immediatly.
    Thank you

  • Can not connect Macbook Pro to IPhone 6 Plus via bluetooth.

    I have a MacBook pro late 2011 with Yosemite 10.10.1 and bluetooth ver. 2.1 EDR. I can not connect my IPhone 6 Plus Ver. 8.1 via bluetooth.  I can see the the iPhone 6 on my MacBook and MacBook on IPhone 6, and can select connect but the iPhone 6 has error message MacBook Pro is not supported.  I am guessing that the issue is with the bluetooth versions, but not sure.  Any idea would be greatly appreciated.

    And what is it you want to accomplish?   iPhones cannot pair with Computers  (Mac or Pc). 
    If you want to use features such as Continuity, or Handoff, pairing is not necessary.  However you would need a newer MacBook for those features. 
    iPhones can pair with speakers, keyboards, headsets, hands free devices, in car media centers etc...
    But there's no profile for connecting to a computer directly.

  • Can I use macbook pro install Disk with macbook?

    Hi everyone,
    I have a macbook and macbook pro, I had to reinstall system after harddrive went on the macbook. I can't find my macbook restore disks/installation disks. Would I be able to use the macbook pro install disks with macbook?
    Much appreciate your help.
    Mo

    It might work but it's risky. The MBP installation disks may well not contain the right drivers for the MacBook. It would be better, if at all possible, if you contacted Apple tech support and asked for a new set of disks for your MacBook. They'll send you a set for a reasonable fee. If you can't wait, perhaps there's an Apple Store or other Apple dealer near you that would have a set you could borrow in-store to do the reinstallation.

  • Can I connect a network storage device to Airport Extreme or Express?

    I have a wireless network with an Airport Extreme base station and 2 Airport Express network extenders and would like to add a network storage device to the network so our whole family can access it for backups and storage.
    Can I connect a USB or etherent storage device(hard drive) to one of the ports on the extreme or express and have it show up on all of our desktops like our printers do?
    If not--Is there another to accomplish what I need?
    Thanks!

    You can ethernet storage, but not USB storage.

  • Can my external hard drive be viewed with airport extreme

    looking to get an airport extreme to allow my mac air to use the wireless connection to link to it.  Is this doable?

    Of course. The USB port of the AirPort Extreme allows you to connect a printer or external drive and share it with all the PCs and Macs connected to your AirPort Extreme.
    When you connect the external drive to the AirPort Extreme, it will appear as a network drive. To access to it, open a Finder window and select the external drive in the Finder sidebar, under "Shared"

  • Can't connect macbook pro to samsung ue46d8005?

    Hi,
    I just received my new Macbook Pro 13" since my old MBP from 2010 was stolen.
    I'm trying to connect it with my new led-tv Samsung ue46d8005.
    I have a mini-display to hdmi adapter and from there a hdmi cable hooked up to the tv. But no matter how I do the tv or the MBP doesn't recognize each other. I have scrolled through the entire internet for a solution and tried several tips from people.
    The adapter and hdmi cable worked just fine with my old MBP and panasonic tv so there's nothing wrong with it.
    I've tried all the four different HDMI inputs.
    I've tried to rename the "label" of the HDMI to PC/DVI.
    I've tried to shut down the tv and MBP, and then start them up at the same time.
    But there's no luck with anything!
    What I've learned from googling around is that Samsung and Macs seem to have problem connecting with each other.
    Today I took my computer and the adapter to my friend's house. There we connected it to his Sharp lcd and it worked just fine! But it just won't work with my samsung tv!
    But please, is there anyone out there who can help me?
    / Ted

    The mirror setting appears in the 'Arrangement' tab in the Displays preference pane once the two devices are communicating, so the Samsung support person was not being particularly helpful.  Besides, I would recommend against using mirroring as it forces the TV to operate at the resolution of the MBP and not at it's native resolution thereby compromising image quality.  Extended desktop mode with an external display ensures that the TV will use its full native resolution of 1080p (or 1920x1080) and also gives you the flexibility of having two screens with different applications visible on each.
    Interesting that you've found that it doesn't work with a second Samsung TV!  I guess that means suspicion now falls on the MBP.  Like I said earlier, I'm not aware of any incompatibility and mine worked first time!!!  I'm busy at the mo' but I'll have a bit of an investigation later and see if I can turn anything up and get back to you.
    By the way, did you try resetting the PRAM and the SMC?  It's especially worth a try now that suspicion lies with the MBP.
