Bootcamp on Macbook, W7, NO INTERNET

SPECS: Macbook 09, Lion, Airport Express, Bootcamp installed at Apple store 7-8-12.
I ONLY wanted the bootcamp to run my genealogy program (Mac built genealogy programs are inadequate for advanced researchers). The program is installed, but I can not get on the internet. Yes, drivers are installed. I use Airport Express, which was purchased about 18 months ago.
I am about to go to the dark side and purchase a HP JUST for that one program. Why? I've been to the Genius Bar numerous times--they are good folks, but so busy that they are helping several people at once. I've found that I then have repeat visits as installations and fixes are not complete....after Bootcamp was installed, and I found I could not get access, I made another appointment, went back and the first thing said was "we don't work on Windows 7". I protested that this Bootcamp is an Apple product and clearly there is a problem if it does not operate as advertised! So they managed to get it on the net through the store's connection-I think a bit of snake oil on an old lady.
I really don't know what to do next. I am not a super knowledgeable techy, but .....
I suspect some setting needs setting either on the Bootcamp side, my modem, my Airport Express or????? I do have the Mediacom guy coming to check my modem and he will no doubt tell me to call Apple.....
Suggestions?

Mediacom has a really nice group of people and online forum with others. No qualms. They can actually 'see' your modem romote, no need to visit. And super helpful forum, after which you will never want to call in for any kind of support I promise!

Try Speedtest and see how it compares to what you should have. There is also an Android and iPhone app for Speedtest. http://speedtest.net/
Not a fan of leaning on someone for hand-holding except when it isn't hand holding and required.
Bluetooth is a trick. There is a post today and yesterday to help others on BT issue.
Airport might be another 'trick.'

I don't know about Airport, try here and go through support

https://discussions.apple.com/community/wireless/airport
the first thing to do probably is bypass the Airport and make a direct connection to the modem frst. Also check Windows Network control panel. Setup and confirm a wired connection before ever trying to use Wifi.

How to connect a MacBook Pro to internet with no cable, no Wifi, no ADSL?

I'll need to connect my MacBook Pro to internet in an environment without any of the above mentioned means.
1. What are the possibilities? GSM (mobile phone), a modem (express card?)?
2. Where can I find the information on how to proceed?
Thanks!

Hello,
You can use a mobile phone as a modem. This can be done manually by yourself or automatic by a commercial third party software:
Manual: you need the right scripts and connection settings and enter them manually in your network configurations. You find the right scripts and configuration hints here: http://www.taniwha.org.uk
Automatic: try the demo of launch2net at http://www.launch2net.com which features a powerful configuration assistant which already includes all necessary network settings and scripts.
The other option would be to use the XU 870 ExpressCard modem from Novatel at http://www.novatelwireless.com. If you are living in the USA and use Cingular, Apple has released a so called WWAN update with all settings. So you can use this ExpressCard in Cingular networks immediatly.
Thank you

Can't connect macbook pro to internet with airport extreme

Can't connect macbook pro to internet with airport extreme

If you have ethernet still on your MBP plug it in by ethernet and tell me if that works.
Tell me how the Airport is setup.. what broadband modem and router you have.
What OS on the laptop? Yosemite I guess.. since it is the most troublesome.
Did it work before whatever change was made? Has it worked in the past? When did it stop and what did you do that coincided with it stopping?
Upgrade to Yosemite??

Connect Macbook to the Internet (VPN) through PC

I got a PC with 2 network cards and a Macbook.
On a PC I got VPN connection to my provider.
How can I connect Macbook to the internet through that PC + safely sharing my PC's contents only to my Macbook.

I did all that. My question concerns more the software than the hardware. I already said that I have 2 newtork cards in a PC desktop and one in macbook. I got cables. I plugged everything in.
The problem is that the preparation work is described in so many details but the crucial program work is very unclear in the majority of web sites I googled. I need this part.

Using iPhone to connect my MacBook to the internet.

Any ideas on how I can use my iPhone to connect my MacBook to the internet?

Hi RonAnnArbor,
Why not just tell people the truth and let them be responsible for their own actions. You cannot seriously expect us to believe that you are this ridiculously naive. Let's suppose that you are in a geographic/physical location that does not have free, or pay WiFi. But, to get the customer up and running you need a real machine with real apps to do some work. This, opposed to just playing on the net with the iPhone. Real work, not reading emails and showing your technically challenged friend how your blog looks on the phone... Instead of that, you are looking at stuff that is technical, contains a great deal of information, or contains a great deal of formatting. Could you not see that it would be easier to work with this type information not just from a readability standpoint, but a usability standpoint on something with a larger display?
I digress. Anyway there is no way to connect your MacBook Pro to the net because there is no connection available and you are in the middle of no where, but your iPhone is in your holster and has a freakin' marvelously strong signal. So, you have this iPhone in your pocket right next to your xxxx and it is doing nothing but playing your favorite music.
Hmm, interesting "You have an Unlimited Data Plan with AT&T" why not use it to create your own WiFi hotspot with your iPhone and allow your MacBook Pro, Windows PC, whatever to share the phone's data connection so that these and other devices can connect to the net via the iPhone? So you still don't see the advantage?
That is an awesome feature and makes it so you can connect with anything, anywhere using your iPhone. Talk about a new marketing angle. Your iPhone is now your ISP. The iPhone would be acting as, well, a modem if that helps you bring the aforementioned post full circle.

My friend was Bootcamping his Macbook Pro halfway when he cancelled it and it refused to boot afterwards.

My friend was Bootcamping his Macbook Pro halfway when he cancelled it due to it running slowly, the Bootcamp Assistant cancelled but the Macbook froze after that and he had to force quit the application. When he restarted the Macbook, it showed the typical white screen and then it switched to a black screen with a underscore at the top left corner. From my experience, it is booting into Windows when it showed the black screen with the underscore and now its kinda stuck and unable to boot into Mac Os X Lion nor Windows 7. Any help for this? And this is a school Macbook with some Master Admin password so it may not be able to enter BIOS but perhaps we can select the boot device. He is screwed if it cannot be fixed :/ Thanks to all who help!

a friend told me that he wants my os x cd for my macbook pro to upgrade his imac.
The discs that come with your Mac are "machine specfic" and cannot be used on another Mac.

Windows laptops can't connect to Macbook Pro shared internet when WEP security is on

As the title states, my Windows laptops can't connect to Macbook Pro shared internet when WEP security is on. My iPhone has no problem asking for the password when I try to access the shared internet my MacBook Pro on Mountain Lion is sending, but my Samsung Slate on Windows 8 sees the network and only succeeds in connecting when no password is required. When security is on, it just tries for a moment and says it can't connect to the network without ever prompting me for the password. The same thing occurs on my Asus Netbook running Windows XP. Since all the reviews about OS X's internet sharing mentions "any wifi device" can access it, I haven't assumed it's only compatible with Apple products. I want my MacBook Pro to save me from needing an external router.

I would post a new question, outline the specific problem you are having and skip all the extra. Outline any steps you have taken already to try and solve the problem. Post the question in the forum most likely to have followers who can answer your question. Give your topic a good title such as: My MacBook Pro cannot connect to my WEP-enabled PC.
Provide any hardware information that may be relevant such as the make and model of your router and method of connection - wired or wireless.
I'm no authority, but have you tried using WPA2/Personal on your PCs? This method is most compatible with Macs.
If the WEP password is a hexadecimal password then on the Mac you need to preceed the number with a $ sign or the hex digits, 0x.

I can't help you with a direct answer. For third-party devices you should contact the vendor (Vodafone).
If you have an iPhone (or an Android phone with hot-spot capability) you can use that to connect to the Internet without paying for a separate cellular service.

MacBook Air wifi internet shared network not working on tethered android phone GT B5122

MacBook Air wifi internet shared network not working on tethered android phone GT B5122
I have created a password protected wifi internet network on my Macbook air. I tethered by Andriod phone onto this network, but the internet connection works intermittently on the phone, and when it stops working the network continues to show as connected to the shared network mostly(other times it keeps renewing the wifi IP address on the Andriod phone).
Also the network the MBA is connected to, is a hardwired one using a SSH login account in a student accomadations.
I am not sure, but all the restarting and refreshing of system, phone and wifi sharing and re-enabling wifi is not reparing the internet connecting on the wifi network for the phone
Really puzzled, if this is one of the Apple, Andriod compatability issues.
Cheers,
Vivek

Hi.
I'm having trouble with the wireless connection on my new home hub 3. Most devices will connect easily, but there are three devices that have trouble connecting. These are an Android Phone (Samsung Galaxy Mini), an android tablet (Sony Tablet S) and an iPod. All of these devices work perfectly on other network connections, and other devices in the house are quite happy connecting to the network.
The Androids can see the network, and will try to connect to it, but when they do they just go through a loop of "connecting">>"acquiring IP address">>"disconnected". I have tried resetting the Home Hub with a pin, and that lets the devices connect for about 24 hours, but after that time they stop connecting again.
I'm really not sure what to do to fix the problem, so I will very much appreciate some help.
Many Thanks.
My lads SGMini connects perfectly to our hub3
Have you installed the BTFon app to these devices?
If so, you could delete it and then see what hapens.....

Mid-2010 MacBook Pro - Irregular internet/wi-fi performance

Hey all.
First, let me apologise if this is a repeat of old discussions. It seems people have been having a few connection issues with the latest MacBook Pro but I couldn't find the exact problem I'm having.
So... ever since upgrading to a MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz i7 with hi-res anti-glare screen in late June, my internet access has been inconsistent and increasingly frustrating. It's not that it doesn't have a connection. Rather, it seems every few times I visit a new webpage I have to wait 30 sec to a minute (or longer) before receiving an error message OR the intended page without all its HTML bells and whistles (ie. a white page with a list of text/links running endlessly down the left side of the page). This happens in iTunes as well, with around half my attempts to visit the iTunes store failing.
The strange part is that, after a page fails to load, I am then able to refresh and - voila! - it loads immediately. It really is random and at no time does my AirPort icon show less than its full bars.
We have another MacBook in the house, as well as an iPad, two iPhones and an old Apple TV and these seem to work just fine, although I have noticed the sync between Apple TV and my problematic MacBook Pro has been quite slow lately.
Sorry for the essay but does anyone know what the problem could be? I'm considering a trip to the Apple Store but would rather tackle this at home if possible, just in case it's compatibility a problem with the Belkin router provided by iiNet.
Thanks!

I had a problem similar to the one you are describing.I paid Geek Squad (BestBuy's in house tech guy's) to come install a Motorola modem/router.Within 24 hours I was experiencing VERY LONG page load times with many never opening.At times my wi/fi performance was outstanding and at other times atrocious.I called my cable/dsl provider to send out a service tech to see if the problem was outside the house as we had a lightning strike a week before that destroyed my router , modem , blu-ray player and Direct TV DVR box.Almost immediately upon arriving at my home he pointed out that the router/modem installed by Geek Squad was a docsys 3.0 model.He provided me with a docsys 2.0 modem/router free of charge and ever since then my DSL access has been amazing. I doubt that this is the cause of your problem as you state that your other connected devices seem to be performing normally but you may want to rule this possibility out anyway. Good luck and I sincerely hope your wi/fi issues are soon resolved.
