Macbook Pro 10.6.8 wont connect to verizon hotspot

I have a Macbook Pro running 10.6.8
I cant get it to connect to my Iphone 4S Verizon Hotspot. Other computers will connect to the hotspot so I know the phone part is working.
I turn on the hotspot, find the network "iphone" in the airport bar, but when I connect it just gives me an exclamation point.
I tried tethering with bluetooth and usb with no results.
There is no firewall active and I cant figure out what other network settings might be stopping the connection. The computer was configured to work with my local NAS, so maybe the tech guy did something to the settings regarding that?
Please help!

After many days of frustration, I try a stupid thing.... Put the SD card in the Lock Position and... Voilá!
The way I find to access the content is put the SD card in the Lock position..

I have a 16GB iPhone 3GS. Tried synching my phone through iTunes (11.0.1 I think... on a 2009 Macbook Pro). Now when I connect to iTunes, it says it does not recognise the content on my phone. Is this because my phone (and laptop) are too old?

Also, when I tried to Restore the settings, an Error Message pops up that says " The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. The requested resource was not found.
I'm trying to free up space on my phone by removing [literally] thousands of old photos which were originally synched to the phone, because I had forgotten to uncheck the photos button when I synched it ages ago.
I have also tried synching it on my 24" iMac (running OSX Snow Leopard). But again, when I try restoring the phone through itunes, it says the file is corrupted. It sggests unplugging the device, and then plugging it in again. I have done this numerous times with no success.
I'm guessing it must be because my phone (and versions of iTunes, and OSX) are all too old.
Please can anybody help.

There are multiple reasons that lead to issue. You should read the troubleshooting guide to get the right solution to solve the issue: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support

Restarting MacBook Pro, Apple TV and WiFi router could solve the problem.

MacBook Pro continually drops wi-fi connection

My MacBook Pro drops the wi-fi connection at intermittent times all day. Sometimes, only after it goes to sleep. Other times every few minutes. Had Cox check all cable connections. No problem. Geniuses at Apple Store said it's an Apple problem, needs an update. Online Apple support agreed. Incredibly annoying. Only problem I've had.

Since you've only had a week take it back and get a refund. Apple has a 14 day no questions asked return policy. Return it for a refund and buy another or something else that works correctly.

You will need to install an App like Print Central on the iPad to try to print to the printer. It will allow you to print to most printers. Check with their support folks if you need more info.

Macbook Pro 10.6+ will not connect to wifi network

Having a strange issue with one particular Macbook Pro not being able to connect to the internal wifi. There are 5 machines, mix of Windows and OS X, none have this issue. We have a wireless network coming from a SonicWall router with wireless capability. This particular Macbook will not connect to the wifi. Just an "!" symbol around the wifi. It has no issues connecting to any other wifi in the area, even to a second on within the same floor.
What are steps to troubleshoot? I am an advanced Windows user and would check ipconfigs, flushdns, among plethora of other things. I am not so sure about what to do in OS X (10.6 or 10.7, not sure).
Any guidance would be appreciated.

I can assure you it is not the router. I am pretty good with Windows and Networking, particularly these model routers. This is an issue on the laptop. I feel as if it keeps remembering old credentials to this wifi network (when user kept typing the wrong password). Once I changed the WiFi password, it no longer even asks me to update the WiFi password when attempting to connect. I have to manually try to connect to it by inputting SSID and password and still does not accept.

Trying to set up my brand new MacBook Pro and it does not connect with the wifi network I have selected for this purpose. Nothing wrong with the wifi as both my iPad and iPhone are happily connected. Suggestions for connecting to the wifi network accepted

Setting up my brand new MacBook Pro and it will not connect to the wifi network. Nothing wrong with the network which is happily working for my iPhone and iPad! Suggestions accepted for making this connection.

Fixing this is a two step process:
1) System preferences > WiFi/Airport ...
... check [√] Ask to join new networks
"Known networks will be joined automatically.
If no known networks are available, you will
be asked before joining a new network."
2) Remove unwanted networks from the list of "known" networks under
System preferences > WiFi/Airport > (Advanced) > | Airport/WiFi pane ...
Close the window and save changes. If no joy, do a restart to ensure you are playing under the new rules.

I have a shared time capsule but it says on my Macbook Pro that it is not connected, though it is on the shared computer OK?

My time capsule is a shared one with my husband's iMAC. His is connected but my Macbook Pro, says I am not connected. Has anyone any ideas please?

I have been upstairs to look at the cables. This is what I found:-
on the capsule there is a cable in the Power port Then an empty port Then the ethernet cable Then 2 empty ehthernet ports. On the Hub ..... ADSL cable, then a Red BT Infinity port (empty) .... Then the Ethernet cable from the TC. Then 2 empty yellow ports, Then the power cable.
I am fairly clear.. please do what I suggested.. take the computer upstairs and plug it into TC with an ethernet cable.
Then you should get internet and airport utility will see the TC and we can work out the issues.
Does the BT hub still have its wireless working??
Hope you have a safe trip to get supplies.. it is 39deg in our area of Melbourne tomorrow.. a bit of ice and snow sounds nice.. but I am glad it doesn't.

I have a problem with using MacBook Pro as wifi router when connected to ethernet

I have a problem with using MacBook Pro as wifi router when connected to ethernet. The Airport icon changes to show a laptop inside, my iPad shows connected (I think) but Safari will not operate. I tried pinging my iPad, it seems to see the iPad, but no connection to Safari or to other apps such as Good on the iPad. I have read many posting and tried repeatedly via Sharing in Systems Preferences, but no luck. Suggestions to fix, or is this a Lion problem?

Usually this is a problem related to the domain name server address. If you open Network preferences, select your Ethernet port then click on the Advanced button then on the DNS tab. You will likely see an entry like 10.0.1.1 already listed. Click on the Add [-] button and enter 208.67.222.222 then click on the OK button and then on the Apply button. See if this helps.
if it does not help then repeat the above but with the Airport port.
