My MacBook Pro randomly disconnects from Safari and can only access it after I restart my computer...What is wrong? and how do I fix it?
I restored my MBP to factory thinking that would help...NOPE! I spend a great portion of my day on the web, networking for my writing, what can I do...getting desparate.
While I'm using Safari, whatever site I'm on...freezes, it just locks and won't refresh or do anything. I'm unable to redirect to anyother links or sites. At this moment I have to close Safari and restart my computer to get my internet to work proper again for a short while. I am on a wireless network. Everything worked great with NO problems for the past year then about 3 weeks ago I started having these issues. I've never used anything but Safari. My GMAIL also went funky at the same time and wouldn't display properly. Since I restored my MBP, my GMAIL is working again, but the internet still freezes. When it freezes, my airport still shows full connection.

there is an icon in the upper right corner that closes or opens a portion of the top of the page, and I accidentally clicked it, and the address bar was gone. Now I can not open the home page and type where I want to go.
Perhaps the icon is the Full Screen icon, didn't even know there was one. You can use "F11" to toggle in or out of "Full Screen" mode. In full screen mode the Firefox window fills the entire screen, and toolbars typically do not display at all.
If toolbars are showing but not the navigation bar use
"Alt" then View > Toolbars > make sure Navigation bar is check marked, and you can show your other toolbars as well.
If the Navigation bar is displayed but it lacks the location bar look for it at
"Alt" then View > Toolbars > Customize and drag "Location bar" to the navigation bar.
You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].

Is is possible to stream a movie through my macbook pro 15in onto a TV through my HDMI-DVI chord while also using my computer for other tasks and minimizing my streaming show.
To enable a second display over AirPlay, you first need to be connected to the same network as your Apple TV. Next, open System Preferences > Displays, and select your Apple TV from the “AirPlay Display” drop-down menu.
Once you do this, your display may flash as the second display connection is acquired, and the Apple TV takes over as the second display. If the displays are mirrored, then you can correct this by opening the “Arrangement” tab in System Preferences > Displays, and ensuring that the “Mirror Displays” checkbox is unchecked.
In this same “Arrangement” tab, you can move the displays around in the pane to ensure that they're positioned correctly, relative to your physical space (usually side-by-side, or top-down). The primary display here is denoted here by the Menu bar on the display. The arrangement helps with being able to drag windows from one display to the next: if your secondary display is arranged to be to the right of your primary one, for example, you can drag things to it through the right side of your primarcy screen. -

MMy old MacBook pro died, got a new Mac, can I use my cs4 with my new computer? Do I need to buy a new license?
Using Time Machine, or any other such program, to transfer Adobe software from one machine to another works probably less than five percent of the time. Uninstall from your new machine. Run the cleaner tool (do a search for Cleaner Tool on this site if you don't know what it is). Then reinstall properly from original media or downloads.

I need do download Photoshop Extended from my adobe account. I bought it in 2011 when I live in Canada and was using a windows based laptop. I now live in South Africa and use a Mac. I can only access my products and serial numbers. How do I download???
As long as you have a legitimate serial number, you can just download a trial version of the version you need from the public Adobe site, install it and input your valid serial number upon installing it.
You will need to apply all available updates, as all downloads are of the original release.
The Extended and the Standard version of Photoshop are one and the same binary. It's your serial number that makes it Extended or Standard. -
I guess I posted my question as a title but that is my issue. My airport is connected via wireless yet it keeps searching for a wireless connection, hence I am experiencing bad latency and disconnection issues. Anyone know a solution?
I have the same problem. And in my case it happens when i transfer "large" files over the WiFi. When i send an MP3 filer over Skype i loose connection. When i transfer updates between my iPhone 5 / iPad 3 and iMac with Mountain Lion i loose connection. When i have a video conference i loose connection. You get the idea.
There is usually like 30 people using their own router on the 2.4 GHz band near by. None on the 5 GHz band which i use. But when my WiFi freezes on ML i can only see my own router. And i am also connected to it. But all my neighbors WiFi routers are now invisble to me. My network stalled.
What i do is that i disconnect my WiFi and then reconnect it again. Thank fixes it. But all my transfers and what not has been dropped. And i have to start all over - and the WiFi will stall again.
While my WiFi is frozen on the iMac with ML i have no problem using the same router on the same 5 GHz band with my iPhone 5 or iPad 3.
Downgrading the AirPort Extreme to 7.6.1 from 7.6.3 helped a bit. Now i only loose connection a few times each day.
It is a software error in ML i am sure of. A driver maybe. But i am suspecting that it is either a speed-sync error or an energy saving error. Like the network card turns of in the middle of a file transfer to save enrgy - maybe.
When i stream movies from my iMac to my Apple TV or 3 there is no problem at all. It is so odd. -

Hello Guys. So I am from Europe..Last summer i bought from America a Macbook Pro 13 mid 2014 and an Iphone 6.

Why does my macbook pro keep disconnecting from the internet?
For whatever reason my Macbook pro 15in keeps disconnecting from the internet everytime it goes to sleep. And sometimes when I wake it up, I have to turn wifi on and off a couple times to get it to detect the right signal. This does not happen with my playstation or my phone so it has to be a problem with the Macbook itself. Can anyone give me any information on how to fix this problem? Anything would be greatly appreciated.
Hello, amal111.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is an article that I would recommend going through when experiencing Wi-Fi connectivity issues. Also, make sure all firmware updates have been processed on the router and the settings have been adjusted to the recommended settings in the second article below.

Macbook Pro random wake from sleep
Last September my MBP went to service for a dead fan, a corroded top case and a whine problem (which was not fixed!). Ever since the machine has been randomly waking from sleep. Sometimes just picking up the machine will make it wake up. But the big problem is that it often wakes up while in my bag during my daily transits! Obviously I am highly concerned for both the heat and the hard drive. I have just reinstalled the entire OS, reset the PRAM and SMC, but to no avail. The machine still acts the same way! What is going on? The machine is always safely in sleep (most of the time in hibernate mode) when this happens. I can clearly hear the fans and drives are off when I put it in my bag; so the problem is not that it's not going to sleep.
Any ideas?
P.S. I've got my Apple Care box just waiting to get registered... I seriously wished I wouldn't have had to use it so soon... Not to mention that my already recalled battery is not holding its charge, despite pmset reporting the status are Good/Good!
MacBook Pro 15" rev 1,1 Mac OS X (10.4.9) ROM MBP11.0055.B08, SMC 1.2f10Hello there DaveWoo,
It sounds like your computer is occasionally restarting on its own when you wake it from sleep. There can be a number of reasons for this to happen, and I recommend you use the following article to help you resolve or isolate the issue. Its pretty thorough and has a lot of information.
OS X: When your computer spontaneously restarts or displays "Your computer restarted because of a problem."

Since last update 2 Macbook Pro's disconnecting from wireless everyday?
So since the last (recent) update to I think firmware 7.6 my 2 macbook pro's are disconnecting on their own everyday, have to choose the network again, or turn off wifi and turn it back on again (and select the network) - anyone else having this issue? It seems to be affecting only my macbook pros not my iphone, apple tv or ipad.
Also, the firmware is for Airport Extreme, which I am using.

While I'm using safari, it will freeze up. When I force quit safari and reopen it, I find that I'm back to where I was when I did the force quit and safari remains locked up. When I try to restart the computer, I get a pop up that says that safari cancelled my restart. I then press the power button to shut down the computer. When I reboot the computer and open safari, I see all the tabs and windows that were opened when this issue began, only this time safari isn't frozen. This problem started yesterday.
Has anyone experienced the same problem? Is there a fix for this problem?Try Resetting Safari: Open Safari. Cick on the name Safari in the menu bar. In the drop down menu click Reset Safari.
