  • How do I resynchronize my iPhone and MacBook Pro bluetooth connection?

    I accidentally had my iPhone "forget" my MacBook Pro bluetooth connection, and I need it to reappear to resynchronize. My iPhone shows up as discoverable on my MacBook Pro, but it is not connected. When I have my bluetooth on on my iPhone 4S, the MBP doesn't appear in the list of my bluetooth devices.

    You can sync using iTunes  >   iOS: Syncing your data with iTunes  (via USB)
    Or wirelessly using iCloud >  Apple - iCloud - All your content on all your devices.

  • WRT310N v1 and MacBook Pro wireless issues

    Hi all,
    I've been having ongoing wireless issues with my WRT310N v1. I have a macbook pro (early 2009) with mac os 10.5.8. I have cable internet, with a DHCP connection. I have a computer and PS3 hardwired through the router, and they work flawlessly. The wireless, however, has never been what it should be. Internet loads slow, even though the connection speed is pretty good (not as fast as hardwired devices, but close).
    Here are the wireless settings:
    wireless config: manual
    network mode: mixed (the Macbook can get wireless-n, by iPhone is only g)
    Radio band: standard 20 mhZ
    wide channel: 9 (can't change this with this config, unless i go wide channel at 40 mhZ)
    standard channel: 11
    SSID broadcast: enabled
    I've got WPA2 security, with AES encryption. I've set the Beacon interval to 75, and left the Fragmentation and RTS thresholds at default. The firewall is activated, and "filter anonymous internet requests" is disabled.I'm wondering if I'm losing so much speed by broadcasting a mixed signal, instead of just G or just N. I've tried transmitting only in Wireless-N, but there's no noticeable change (and the iPhone can't connect at all). 
    Any input at all would be really appreciated. I'm hoping I don't have to fork over $30 to linksys just to get tech support. Thanks in advance.
    Solved!

    Well its not necessary to power cycle your router everytime whenever you make any changes on your Router. But if you re-configure all the settings on your from scratch, then its better to power cycle your router.

  • Macbook Pro Wireless Connection Problems

    I bought my 13 inch macbook pro 1 week ago and I've had wireless connection problems from day 2 (I think after the updates).
    Problems include:
    - Safari cannot connect to the internet for 5~10 minutes after I turn it on, whether it be from sleep mode or completely off or restart (the fastest connection I got after turning it on was about 40 seconds)
    - Loading takes ridiculously long and eventually Safari cannot find the server
    - Airport signal (on the top right hand corner) is always full when it is not working
    - Sometimes internet works but it is ridiculously slow
    However, when the wireless connection stabilizes, Airport Signal is 2~3 bars full and internet works SOOO well and I love it so much when it does. But the problem is that it stabilizes like 30 minutes to never after I turn it on and it makes me so mad I want to explode this piece of crap in the microwave.
    So I've called apple support, and they made me try four things:
    1. Reset modem, router, and computer
    2. Delete caches, reset Safari
    3. Putting Airport first on the Service Order and resetting DHCP Lease
    4. Connecting with Ethernet Cable then resetting the computer
    None of these worked, and I'm suspecting that the cause of the problem is the hardware (not the aluminum body that's just bs) because my router and modem are working fine (my other samsung laptop is working perfectly). I don't think the problem lies in my network settings either because I did exactly what the Apple technicians told me to do. So after Appleguy made me try all 4 of those diagnostics, he told me to contact my router company NETGEAR because he thinks nothing is wrong with the mac hardware, so I did. The NETGEAR lady told me if one laptop is working and another isn't, there is nothing wrong with the router. So if nothing is wrong with my hardware, software, router, modem, ISP... Why do I have wireless issues????!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
    I'm going to return this <edited by host> or get another one with my warranty

    Same thing here.
    I've got a Macbook Pro 15" bought 6 weeks ago, airport express bought about a year ago. All updated with latest software/firmware, etc. Problems include:
    -Sometimes when i pull down the network list, my network isn't even there, yet i'm still connected to it. My airport is appx 10 feet away in an open area.
    -usually after opening safari or firefox for the first time upon sleep, restart, or just opening the program after i had quit it, it is miserably slow. it takes about 2 minutes for pages like msn.com to load. finally when they do, its faster than you can imagine. that lasts for about a minute. then its slow again.
    -when logged into ichat and i send messages, i would sometimes get a "connection timeout" message. my buddy would end up getting the message about 5 minutes later.
    My iphone and dell laptop work fine. i haven't tried running parallels, but if bootcamp works, so should prlls.
    I've reset the modem about 20 times. i've reset the airport about 20 times. i even re-installed my OS on the mac and nothing has done it.
    Weird thing is that i've had my mac for 6 weeks, and this problem surfaced only 3 days ago.
    Clearly its not an issue of any of our ISP's. Due to the fact that this only started for me 3 dyas ago, i'm hopeful that its only a software problem and not something else. Hopefully apple will a) ADMIT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM HERE and b) FIX IT.

  • 2007 Macbook Pro, Wireless connection slows to a crawl or drops out!

    Hi all, I have recently started having problems with my 2007 15" 2.16ghz Macbook Pro and the wireless connection to my router.
    Quite often it will say I am not connected to the network, the Airport symbol will fluctuate between full bars and no bars and when it does connect, the speed is awfully slow, it regularly hangs on a webpage for a few seconds before loading it up.
    It is not the router as my Girlfriend has a white macbook and when I am experiencing problems she is not. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may be the problem, is the wireless card on it's way out??
    btw the airport details are:
    Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x87)
    Wireless Card Locale: Worldwide
    Wireless Card Firmware Version: 1.4.10.3
    Current Wireless Network: SKY10597
    Wireless Channel: 2
    Thanks, Nick

    You might try a different channel, but the iBook result belies there being a high probability of success using this approach. You could try a different browser. Does the problem also occur when you are very close to the WAP? Your card might be old enough to be malfunctioning. Given the recent experiences of others, I don't recommend doing any updates in trying to solve the problem. Have you done any Airport related updates lately?

  • MacBook Pro Wireless Connectivity Issues

    For some reason My MacBook Pro has been connecting to my Airport Extreme/Express no problem and works with no problem, but after a little time is says that there Safari can not connect to the server. The bars on the my Airport on the the top bar still has all four bars regardless if I can get online or not.
    The weird thing is that when it "can't connect to the server" then everything wireless goes. Nothing in my network settings has changed, nothing has been moved, and nothing has been added to effect the network. Connecting wired is no problem however.

  • Intermittent iMac to Macbook Pro wireless connection

    I have a 24" iMac that is connected to our house wifi network. It is a TimeCapsule and there is a Mac Mini, Macbook Air and a Macbook Pro all on the same network. I can connect to all the computers from my Macbook Pro but occasionally I won't be able to connect to the iMac. We also you Rowmote Pro, an App on our iPhones. It connects using the same wireless network and when the Macbook Pro losses the ability to connect to the iMac the Rowmote also stops working with the iMac. When the Macbook Pro tries to connect to the iMac I get, "Connection failed. The server "iMac" may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again." At that exact moment I can see the iMac on my sidebar and all the other computers except the macbook pro can see AND connect to the iMac. I also can't go from the iMac and connect to the macbook pro but the iMac is on the network and connect to all the other computers. The iMac also has an internet connection through the TimeCapsule. I also reinstalled the OS and restarted and still can't connect. The worst part is that it switches randomly, sometimes I can connect and sometimes I can't. I am completely stumped!

    Unless you have a wireless base station already, you could use the AirPort Express for that. That is, connect the AirPort Express to the Ethernet output of the cable modem.
    It is possible to install an AirPort card (may be difficult to find today) into a G4 iMac. This would allow the iMac to establish a connection with the base station (wirelessly). Alternatively, a wireless Ethernet bridge (such as D-Link DWL-G820, Linksys WET54G and Linksys WGA600N; attached to the Ethernet port of the iMac) would provide an external solution. A wireless Ethernet bridge does not require special drivers and can thus be used with most Ethernet devices under almost any operating system. Even a USB wireless adapter may work, but only if suitable Mac drivers are available.
    If you do not want to use the AirPort Express at all, you could buy (for example) an AirPort Extreme Base Station instead. The WAN port connects to the cable modem. The LAN ports make a direct wired connection to the iMac possible.

  • MacBook Pro Wireless Connectivity issues - Possibly Resolved

    I have been having the same issue as many people with the WiFi connectivity dropping over and over. This has been a total hair pulling experience. I searched all over the internet and have not found a solution so I started digging and dianosing this profound problem. It appears as of now, that it has been fixed in my case so I wanted to share it with others and hopefully it helps you guys out as well.
    *If you are using a router with Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) enabled, you need to disable it.* My connection was dropping every 15 or so minutes but has been up for quite a while now without the need to turn off and on Airport. Give it a try, hopefully your results will be successful.

    BTW: If you try this and it works for you please reply back so we can give more information to the Mac Users out there.

  • I have 3 different itunes accounts and would like to combine them into just one for all my devices, a macbook pro, an iphone 4S, an older IPOD, and a ver sion one Ipad. how can i do this on all devices ?

    i have 3 different itunes accounts and would like to combine them into just one for all my devices, a macbook pro, an iphone 4S, an older IPOD, and a ver sion one Ipad. how can i do this on all devices ?

    i had one for a long time, then when i got the ipad i didn't realize they would all still work under one so i set up the second one on that
    then when i got the new iphone i put in the info for the first and main one from my mac pro and it would not work at all, and i knew it was right, then it asked me to create a new one or i couldnt finish the setup
    hence why i have 3 now
    hard to believe you cannot combine into one
    oh well, i will just make them all accessible for all 3
    thanks

  • HT5287 DVD and CD sharing will not let you play or share DVD movies and audio CD's.  Does any one know of a way to get music from a CD on a MacBook Pro wirelessly to an iMac?

    DVD and CD sharing will not let you play or share DVD movies and audio CD's.  Does any one know of a way to get music from a CD on a MacBook Pro wirelessly to an iMac?

    I cannot find the eMac install disk, and I haven't been able to get it to start up from my 10.3 CDRm (holding down option or c), though I read something somewhere about these not being able to start up from system folders earlier than those they shipped with. I've dealt with this sort of thing several times before, and it always seemed to work to simply use target disk mode.
    It definitely won't start up fromt the 10.5 DVD-R, and I'm pretty sure I tried putting the MBP into TM to use its optical drive as well, but it didn't work. But it's worth trying again, and I appreciate your input greatly.

  • Home sharing iMac and MacBook Pro: not all songs are playable

    Hello
    I set up Home Sharing between my iMac and MacBook Pro so that I could stream the music that's on the iMac to the MacBook Pro. On the MBP there are no songs, all of them are in Apple Lossless format on my iMac. I first tried to use "‘share my library on my local network" but because I wanted the play count to go up as well I chose for "Home Sharing". Setting up was simple. After all preferences were adjusted, I opened iTunes on the MBP and it immediately found the shared iMac library. There's now only one problem: not all songs are playable. Some don't even start. How is this possible and what do I need to do to resolve this?
    FYI: the iMac is connected via ethernet to my cable modem which sends a wireless Wi-Fi signal to the MBP. Signal quality is excellent.
    Also, is it possible that playcount is only available with Home Sharing and not with "share my library on my local network"?
    Thanks!

    It very well could be the antivirus app, most are intrusive and debilitate rather than enhance performance and should be removed using the developers instructions. You haven't really told us anything useful such as any settting you may have changed. However if you began working backwards resetting any changes and uninstalling the apps added since the performance issue started then you probably will find your issue. 

  • Everything is updated!!  iPhone, iPad, iTunes and MacBook Pro...  All I am trying to do is drag content from my iTunes Library to the devices.  iTunes gets stuck EVERY single time!  What usually triggers the Non-Sense is when I am adding a 2nd file!

    Why does iTunes SUCK??
    1) Many items greyed out in the menu bar, for well over 2 years, maybe more!
    2) I Can't drag more than one piece of content from your iTunes library to any device (iPhone, iPad)
    If you do it gets stuck for HOURS and HOURS in "Preparing To Update" and the little activity circle never completes, ever!!
    I used to be able to drag over 1000 tunes, movies, etc. go have breakfast come back and it would all be on my device!!
    Can't do it anymore, one song at a time, maybe an album at a time, or one movie, and that is it!!
    If you do a 2nd item the other items stop loading and never continue!!
    This is so BAD, I don't understand how they don't have this fixed yet!!
    Please tell me I am not the only one!!
    ...and If I am tell me how to fix it!
    Very appreciated,

  • I have an ipod, ipad and macbook pro.  When I add anything to my calendar it always comes up twice, and always reminds me twice on all of my appliances.  Its probably really simple but how do I rectify this?

    Hi there.  Can anyone help?  I have an iphone, ipad and macbook pro.  Whenever I add anything to my calender it always puts itself in twice and always reminds me of everything twice on each of my appliances.  I'm sure it just a matter of ticking or unticking boxes but I can't seem to get the right ones.

    - You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
    Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
    - If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
    go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
    If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.

  • Connecting iMac and MacBook Pro using a non-Apple wireless router

    I use a Belkin wireless router. Is there any way for me to connect iMac and MacBook Pro using the router to share files? I think I read somewhere that I need AirPort Extreme for this, but I'm not sure. Thank you.

    Great resource from Dennis...file sharing, I.e. networking, is a function of the operating system settings and not the brand of router. Using Mac OS X 10.6 on both machines makes it really seamless. Following Dennis's kb article should make the two almost act like one machine.
