Find my Mac says MacBook Pro does not have WiFi?

Hello everybody, having a bit of an annoying problem at the moment so I hope you can all help. I'm trying to set up find my mac via iCloud but can't seem to get it working. I've enabled Find My Mac under my iCoud settings on my mac but even after enabling it i get an error that says: "This Mac can't be located because it does not have Wi-Fi. You can still lock or wipe this Mac." Anybody have any idea how to fix this? My MacBook Pro obviously does have Wi-Fi and is connected to a Wi-Fi Network so I don't see how this error even rmeotely makes sense.

Found the answer https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4144799?start=0&tstart=0
System Pref > Date & Time > Time one > check box for set time zone automatically..
Enabling that worked for me.

Can someone tell me why my Macbook Pro does not have IDVD?

Can anyone tell me why my $$$$ Macbook Pro does not have IDVD? I when to do an IMovie and media shared to IDVD and me computer could not locate. I thought that all Macs have IDVD. Maybe they forgot it. I did a search in applications and it said it had no file. I uploaded the newest IDVD and it told me that I needed IDVD it was not on my computer. Something is wrong with this

iDVD has not been available with iLife since the upgrade to Lion. It is no longer in production. Try purchasing one of the older iLife '11 boxed set DVDs on Google or eBay.

Purchased Lightroom software on disc, new MacBook Pro does not have a disc drawer.

Purchased Lightroom software on disc, new MacBook Pro does not have a disc drawer. Have already opened box. Searched online and someone suggested downloading the LR trial, and set up Cloud, then can enter the serial number to complete the purchase. Which is what I did, but the serial number is being rejected.

Ok, maybe what they’re calling Creative Cloud is merely your Adobe ID, an e-mail and password to login with. The LR5 6 update link is probably what you want to download—all updates are downloads, anyway, so there’s no need to have a disc reader as long as you have internet and the serial number.
Here is the LR 5.6 update for a Mac: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5822
Another issue might be that what you think is a serial number is a redemption code that needs to be converted to a serial number using this website: http://www.adobe.com/go/getserial A clue that you have a redemption code is that it has letters and numbers. A serial number is just numbers and the first few are 1160-something.

Purchase an external DVD drive or buy the Apple USB SuperDrive.

New to Mac: My Macbook Pro does not power on and off very well. It freezes in the never ending circular swirl. I have to hold down the power button to get a "reset." I have updated software

New to Mac: My Pro does sleep, power on or power off consistently or efficiently. It freezes into a never ending spool. I have to press down the power off button to reset. I have updated my software.

If this is a new MacBook Pro, and you're within 90 days of purchasing it from Appe, contact Apple support. In the US it's (800) APL-CARE (800-275-2273)

My new Macbook Pro does not have Frontrow

Just got a new Macbook Pro Intel 2 Duo Core but I can't find Frontrow? It came with a remote too.
I downloaded an update but it's a ".pkg" so I'm unable to open it.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks!

FrontRow should be installed on your new MBP. It's not a usual application, you'll find it in System/Library/CoreServices.
What happens when you press the Menu button on the remote or Command-Esc on the keyboard? That should invoke FrontRow.
If it really isn't installed, you can install it from the OSX disks that came with the Mac.
Insert Disk 1 and click the "Install Bundled Software Only". Follow the instructions. After selecting the install destination, click on the Customize button and you should find Front Row as one of the options.

To authorize a computer, follow these steps:
Open iTunes.

My new macbook pro does not have a safari icon

Just got a new Macbook Pro and when I logged on there's a ? mark where the safari icon should be. Also when i attempt to click on it nothing happens.
I have no way of getting on the internet..

Your Safari application should be in your Applications folder. See if it's there. If it isn't post back. How are you getting onto these forums? Through a browser. Then download:

iTunes for Mac has never had an "Add folder to library" option. This is only available on Windows version.
Select Add to library, select the folder then click OK.
Or drag the folder(s) to the iTunes library at top left of iTunes.

HT1338 my macbook pro does not have idvd on it...

I have iLife products installed on the computer, iMovie, iPhoto, etc... but no iDVD. Operating system is OS X 10.7.5
where can i find an idvd application download?
thank you.

Purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

Yes, there are programs that will put a movie on a DVD. I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, DVD Creator, Wondershare, and others. None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD.

This seems a little ridiculous... My brand new macbook pro does not have a cd drive? This makes an external port the only solution right?

I think this is a little ridiculous... Beings as I am mainly going to be using this for school and when I travel this being missing is a huge downfall for me... Now to watch movies on the plane I am going to need to be toting around a separate piece of machinery... Anyone elses thoughts?

You chose a Mac with no drive, what ideas should we have?
how about take it back and get one with a drive (Apple make both)

My MacBook Pro does not appear to have power.

I have a 13" MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.3) that will not turn on regardless of what I do. With the MagSafe Power Adapter connected, its indicator light is green. When I press the battery indicator button, it indicates the battery is fully charged. The sleep light does not blink. After disconnecting the MagSafe Power Adapter, when I press the battery indicator button, it indicates the battery has no life (the first light doesn't even blink).
The electrical power outlet has power. When I use a new second MagSafe Adapter, my MacBook has the same symptoms and won't turn on.
My MacBook Pro does not have a user removal battery. I've tried all the recommended resets.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

10.6.3 is pretty old for this machine but shouldn't create this problem.
So you did this:
Reset SMC
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295
If no joy then:
Try a hard reset. Disconnect the battery (take the bottom off and unplug, use your fingernail.) and power adapter. Press the power button for 1 minute. Let the computer sit for 5 minutes, Reconnect and try to start up.
No? - Go through the same procedure and try to start without the battery connected.
The addendum to this would be to try a known good battery.

I am a windows user that has converted to Mac and loving it but when I updated to Lion my wireless internet dongle would not work anymore and the Macbook Pro does not recognise the device at all so I am unable to reinstall it again. Any ideas
