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 tried to run BootCamp on my new macbook pro, but i could not partition because of an apparent bad sector.
I reformatted the macbook, but the mac could not even boot up Mac OS Lion.
As such, I had to go down to my retailer and reinstall Lion.
What exactly went wrong?When I tried to bootcamp a few days ago, the partition could not work.
My technician told me that there is a bad sector.
So he reformatted, and Lion disaappeard. There was no O.S at all.
I went down to my retailer just now.
They ran a system check on the RAM, and the HDD.
They did not find any bad sector, and everything was okay.
They reinstalled Lion and now its okay again
But I'm afraid to try and bootcamp again because they same thing might happen? -

If you are still within your 15 day return period. Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge. (There are no realistic substitutes.)
Nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick. You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.

If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

I'm being shown an error pop-up message periodically saying "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:' are not supported." I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and at no time am I actually having trouble connecting to the server, but this message continues to pop-up several times a day at random intervals. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or is my computer just having a glitch? Other than that, and a mildly sticking caps lock button, it's working perfectly.
Thank you!Alright it didn't solve it. Any other suggestions?
I haven't suggested a solution yet. I want to know whether you still get the messages while Time Machine is disabled. Do you? If so, try any or all of the solutions proposed in this thread:

I have just opened my brand new Macbook Pro and I'm a first time mac user. I have tried to download flash to enable me to watch youtube clips, but on trying to download it, it says I need to close Safari but after doing so, it still won't respond. Any tips? Help?
Actually you need to quit Safari which is different from closing. With Safari open go the menu bar for Safari/Quit Safari.

I messed up badly by trying to restore my brand new macbook pro by doing restart then command R and choose disc utility repair now when I start ,all I get is the white screen with a folder and a question mark,What can I do???help please
Can you still boot to the Recovery partition using Command and R whilst booting? Or did you wipe the Recovery partition as well?
If your Recovery partition is still intact, you can simply boot to it and reinstall the OS via the Internet. If you wiped the Recovery partition, you can hold down Command, option and R keys whilst booting and boot into true Internet Recovery mode. You'll be able to reformat the hard drive, erasing all partitions (format it as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with a dingle GUID partition) and then reinstall the OS that shipped with your machine.
Note that you should use a physical Ethernet connection when restoring over the Internet - it's three times slower if you use wifi.
Try your Recovery partition first and if that doesn't work, use Internet Recovery.

My mom has a brand new Macbook Pro which was set up at the Apple Store and now she cannot get it to accept her log in info. What should she do next?
Thank you sig--it seems in talking to her on the phone that she was not giving me the info correctly and she couldn't get into her bank account, NOT the computer. The computer is fine she was just frustrated with the bank's system and feeling alone with no help handy...
I appreciate your reply. Thank you. -
Brand new MacBook Pro (Lion) and Multiple Applications are quitting unexpectedly including iCal
I have a brand new MacBook Pro and for some reason applications, in particular iCal, seem to quit unexpextedly all the time. Not sure why but I am using iCal for both iCloud and Google Apps for my business.
Anyone else having this issue or have some solutions I could try?
Thanks!ds store is right: the machine is obviously faulty. Tell them about the card reader problem and get the machine exchanged. Don't let them fob you off with a service. I had a problem with the DVD drive, the trackpad and the card reader in the first year of my 2009 MBP and each time I let them get away with 'servicing' until the Warranty ran out, and I now have to use a cable for the camera, can only use 'tap' (not click) on the trackpad and have to use an external DVD writer.
Like you, I'd had a previous Apple laptop (2004 iBook) that could take a direct hit from a Scud missile and still function perfectly (indeed, its still going now) , so I was not as insistent as I should have been.
Apple machines are great, but every now and again you get a dud. -
Printing wirelessly with a brand new MacBook Pro and an old G4 Titanium
I have a brand new MacBook Pro set up to print wirelessly and it is working wonderfully.
The problem is my other laptop that is on 10.3.9 is not finding the printer at all. I have all the drivers needed but can not figure out what else I need to do to make this happen. I thought it might be an issue of one computer using Bonjour and one using rendezvous. Is there a way I can have both operating systems talk to the same printer on my AE network?
Please help!
BrianMake sure you have "authorized your New MAC" to do this if you haven't in iTunes click on "Store" then "Authorize this computer"
If thats good then there are a couple of options, First would be, Connect your iPod, Cancel the Sync when it appears. Click on "File" then "Transfer purchase from iPod"
Option 2 would be create a backup of your iTunes library on your old computer, may take a couple of CD's to do so, all depends on the size of your library. Then simply restore it on the MAC.
Option 3 (My preferred option) if your old computer is on the same network, turn on Home Sharing on both the Old and New iTunes and simply drag the music you want right on over.
Very important though that the new itunes be authorized first for any of those to work.
Hope this helps.

Setting privacy pane to always block cookies on my brand new MacBook pro doesn't seem to work
Setting privacy pane in Safari to always block cookies on my brand new MacBook pro doesn't seem to work. None of the settings seem to make any difference. What gives?
Are you not able to start aperture on your old macbook? If you are able to then you can retrieve your serial number by clicking on 'about aperture'
If not then it's a call to apple as the above posts suggest. I did when I lost mine, bear in mind though, they may ask for your original receipt as they did with me and I had to fax it. -
I literally just opened my brand new MacBook Pro, and when I attempted to download the OS X Mavericks, a screen popped up and told me I couldn't complete action due to a host of reasons...I just took the **** thing out of the box, what gives?!
Your machine already has Mavericks installed. Why are you trying to download it?

Brand new MacBook Pro OS X Lion turns off when iPad connected
I have a brand new MacBook Pro and I connected mt iPad to it tonight. I have connected it once before sync it when I got the MacBook. Tonight every time I tried to connect it the MacBook would turn off (poof!) When it turned on, It came up with a USB disabled as something draining too much power message. The laptop is plugged into the mains directly at the wall socket.
I tried a different cable and it causes the message or shuts off the laptop. I used the same cable in my husband's iPhone and it is working.
Is it the MacBook or the iPad? It is a 1st gen still under warranty. What should I do?
All help will be appreciated. I reset the PRAM already.
ThanksCan you run an Internet Speed Test? Reboot first and don't open any programs but Safari to perform this.
You can use any website, here's one listed below:

I have a brand new MacBook Pro and I'm trying to connect to the private wifi at my house however, I need the IP address. Everywhere I go to find it, the adress is blank. What do I do ?
Your Mac won't have an IP address, at least not a valid IP, until you actually connect it to your home LAN. Not sure why you think you need the IP, you don't.
To connect to your home WiFi you need to know the SSID name, IE the name of your home WiFi, and the password for it. Once you have those two things click the little antenna looking icon on the right side of the menu bar and select your home WiFi name and click connect. A dialog box will pop up asking for the password, type in the password and click OK/Connect/Whatever. -
Brand new Macbook Pro not pairing with Apple Keyboard and mouse!
Hi all, I have a brand new Macbook Pro and an older wireless Apple Keyboard and Mouse (that were being previously used with my imac G5).
Now I want to use these for this macbook. I am finding that they are being recognised but not pairing up?
Do you need to stop the previous pairing with the imac before they will pair with the Macbook?
Or do I need to update specific software? (I would have thought it has all the necessary updates already installed).
I am running Snow leopard.
I have brand new batteries in the keyboard and mouse.
I really appreciate any helpful advice. Sorry if the answer is obvious!
ThanksHi there, i had a problem pairing an Apple wireless keyboard with my MacBook pro but managed to solve it.
The default passkey option in Bluetooth setup assistant is 'automatic' which will (if the MacBook can 'see' the keyboard in the first instance) then say something like 'your device may prompt you to enter the following passcode 1234 5678'
Obviously the keyboard doesn't provide any feedback - I went ahead and typed the number and hit the return key a number of times - the MacBook then displayed a 'pairing failed - you may have entered the incorrect passkey' message.
What i was doing wrong was keying only numbers - when i keyed 1234[SPACE]5678 + RETURN pairing worked.
I had thought the 'gap' in the passcode was to make it easier to read, not that it implied a space in the passcode.
Hope that helps.
