C2D MBP WiFi Error

I have a C2D MBP and the wifi simply does not work at home. I am typing this on an iBook with the exact same settings, connected to my Actiontec router, but my MBP will not connect to the network. I get the following error message in the console log:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Resources/airport: Error: WirelessAssociate2() = 88001006 for network NETWORK
It is not a password issue, and I've tried changing the network settings from Automatic to Home without any change.
The MBP connects fine to my network at work, wirelessly, so I don't think this is a hardware issue -- I'm installing XP on bootcamp to double check this.
Does this error message mean anything to anyone?

I have had very similar problems with my new MBP. I have read that others are having the same problems as well.
Thankfully I am able to connect (most of the time) to my home network (Airport Express, WPA). I have been unable to connect to a D-link router running WEP 128, and 2 different Linksys routers, both completely open.
My connection drops occasionally when using my home network, and with other networks the card appears to login to the network but isn't getting an IP address from the router.
I would assume this is a driver problem associated with the new wireless cards in the C2D MacBook Pros. Hopefully we'll get an update soon.

So what about now ? C2D mbp wifi problems

So now a lot of people had posted their wifi connection problem with the brand new C2D mbp, and many of you had called apple support and still have not solved the problem.
Now C2D MB is out, what should we do ? is there any official reply from Apple regarding this issue ? or should us just go out to buy a brand new wifi router just for this laptop ?
Interestingly, there are 5 unprotected wifi router in my neighborhood, I tried them one by one, the only one that I could successfully connect was made by D-Link, and the pre-N card in C2D MBP was made by the same company too, does this imply something ?
Truely, I just wanna know Apple is working on this and there will be a solution/update/fix/patch in the not-so-far future.

There is lots of speculation to the reason for the poor wifi signals and connectivity and no true answers.
Many attribute it to routers, hardware, software, or encryption.
Regardless, for CD or C2D it has become a nuisance and I trust that apple is/has been working on it.
You need to take your problem on an individual basis though. I would suggest calling applecare or bringing your computer to an apple store. If calling applecare try to confess that you tried all the "stupid" things that solve wireless problems... like turning on your wireless!

C2D MBP 15.4" - Perfect!

The wife just bought a new C2D MBP 15.4" and it's PERFECT.
No irritating whine, lovely even backlight, great Airport reception, 3.5 hour battery life, and no unsolicited restarts!
Just that Photoshop CS2 runs like ****, of course.
We're going to try Counterstrike on this little baby next!

Yeah, got mine on Thursday before Christmas Eve and it's perfect too. No noticable grain, more than 4 hours battery life (after calibrating the battery), excellent airport reception all around our house and it flies ….
The only point to mention is that I was waiting nearly 8 weeks for delivery. I ordered at a local "Premium Apple Dealer" early in November.

Has anyone received their C2D MBP with 3GB RAM?

For those that have ordered a 15" C2D MBP with 3GB of RAM:
a) have you received their order yet, and if so, did it take a while to ship (mine's taking forever to ship);
b) do you feel that the extra 1GB was worthwhile paying for in terms of performance under programs such as photoshop CS2 etc.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) 667 MHz PPC

Yes, I received my 15-incher with 3gb of RAM and 160gb HD. I ordered about an hour after the store came back up with the updated specs on 10/24, it shipped late on 10/26, and I received it on 10/30.
I've not tried CS2 - I have that but currently run it on my Dell desktop. I'll be migrating my photography workflow over to the Mac next spring, when Adobe univeral binaries become available, at which time I'll replace the Dell with a Mac Pro.
I can say, having started working with the Aperture trial and Parallels running Windows XP (to which I have a gig of RAM dedicated when running the VM), that the extra memory seems to make a significant difference. I'm not at all sorry I bit the bullet for that extra gig - especially since Apple's price vis-a-vis that upgrade seems very reasonable relative to the aftermarket memory providers.
Good luck on receiving yours soon. This is a wonderful machine...

Wired ethernet stops working on c2d MBP

I am a new 15 inch C2D MBP owner and I'm just starting to learn all the Mac stuff... I need your help because I have a serious problem with wired ethernet stability under macOS. I need to know if it's something specific to my machine or if anyone else has similar problem.
I am connected to a LAN with a 10/100 Mbit switch. I'm using a good cable (checked!). And my connection seems to hang from time to time. Usually this happens under heavier load (torrent plus multi-tab browsing), but it dies sometimes during casual browsing or checking for system updates. And it's anywhere from 3 minutes to 12 hours between hangs...
The symptoms are strange. The connection seems to be on, but there's a sudden surge in bad packet received number and the network connection stops working remaining on-line. Putting the machine to sleep or manually shutting down the line helps immediately. I'm using:
sudo ifconfig en0 down
sudo ifconfig en0 up
At first I suspected hardware problem but the same line works perfectly under Windows (with even higher load, and tcpip.sys patched to 1000 connections).
It acted like this from the very first moment I got it and I have no clue if I should contact service or wait for a patch or maybe just stick to Windows (just kidding)...
I've browsed the forum and it seems I'm not the only one with the problem:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=649927
but this topic is unsolved... There's nothing really strange in system.log:

Any hints appreciated. It's a beautiful machine and I'm so sorry it doesn't work as it should...

evans_re,
does the trackpad not work? If it works, you could try selecting “Shut Down…” from the Apple menu.
As a last resort, you can hold down the power button for approximately ten seconds, which should force a (non-clean) shutdown.
If your keyboard is completely non-functional (excepting the power button), then you should take it to an Apple store or other qualified service facility.

Share MBP wifi with Mac Pro using Bluetooth

hey there, is it possible to share my MBP wifi with Mac Pro 2009 which doesnt have and airport extreme installed (yet) using bluetooth? I sort of paired both devices, and internet sharing is ON on MBP, my Mac Pro connects but there is no internet! Im using Time Capsule as a router. Maybe someone knows the answer? Thank you

No. You can share it to an Ethernet connection, though: run an Ethernet cable between them and share to that connection.

C2D MBP terrible audio noise when DVI connected?

Just got my 2.33GHz C2D MBP, and while the machine is amazing overall, I'm having serious problems with the audio.
In short, when I have my monitor (Dell 2105FPW) connected via DVI, I get an incredible amount of electronic noise through the audio output, *but only when the output is connected to an amplifier*. If connected via VGA, the noise is still present, but much quieter. If I use headphones, the sound is fine. This noise is present and the same volume regardless of the Mac's volume setting.
I've tried with my powered studio monitors, my home stereo system and my headphone amp; all exhibit the noise, to varying degrees.
I would blame the video monitor, but I have used a G4 Powerbook, a G5 Powermac and two Intel Mac minis in exactly this configuration, with zero noise. I've run from batteries, removed everything else on the same power circuit, moved all of the equipment to another room, nothing helps, other than to unplug the monitor (which makes it hard to see ;-)). I don't have another DVI monitor to try, but am going to try to borrow one.
I had it in for repair for a sticky keyboard (back now with 50% less stick!), and the tech of course didn't have amps laying around and found, as I did, that it sounds fine w/ headphones.
I'll try to get a recording of this and will put a link up when/if I do.
Any enlightment would be greatly appreciated.
C2D MBP, Powerbook G4, Powermac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I should have mentioned that this is not a 60 cycle hum or anything like that. I sounds like when I was a kid and would set my AM radio up next to my TRS-80 (before the band, there was the computer) and listen to the intererence. High-pitched whining/whistling w/ the occasional pops and click.

Assemble a coreduo top case onto a C2D MBP?

IS there a difference in dimension/design between the CD and C2D of 15" MBP? Is it possible to assemble a CD top case (palm rest + trackpad) onto a C2D MBP machine?

My essential question is can this be adjusted under normal circumstances. Can the trackpad be made tighter or more firm feeling so that when you lightly tap on it there is no slight clicking noise as the pad gives way under the very slight pressure of the tap. On the top and middle it is firm, so that your tap is met with a surface that is not giving way, so to speak. It is the bottom that makes the noise. As a person only using tap to click, who enjoys the seamless and quiet way of using this, unfortunately this noise partially ruins the experience. There will be no problem having them re-address this, but I eventually will need to know if the top case was faulty or it is simply a slight adjustment to be made.
thanks for any input

10.7.3 MBP Wifi Problem - Endless Timeouts & Dropped connections

I've been reading around here a bit already and so I know many other people are having Wifi issues with Lion, but given that there are so many discussions and so many pages of talk, it's hard to go through it all, and using the search I haven't found anything that's quite similar to what I'm experiencing, so I'm starting a new topic...
Basically, I've got a late 2006 MacBook Pro, installed 10.7.1 (form 10.6.8) on in back in Aug 2011 and everything seemed to be fine. I updated to 10.7.2 sometime in Jan and still didn't notice any issues, but wasn't using Wifi at all at the time.
Then in Feb I moved and started using wifi (with a Cisco N router), and noticed that often, the system would not automatically reconnect to the network after waking up from sleep. Just selecting the network manually worked on the first try every time though, so it wasn't so bad.
At the end of April, I finally got around to installing the 10.7.3 update. I read it was supposed to fix wifi issues and so was looking forward to it. It installed fine and didn't seem to cause any problems...
2 days later I moved again (to India), and all **** broke loose... Now, I can rarely connect to wifi (a Beetel G router, configed with WPA). Around 25% of the time, the network won't show up in the list (despite being a clear 5ft from the base station), and when it does show up, 95% of the time I get a "connection timeout" error - often immeadiately, but sometimes it takes about 10sec to respond. On the same network, 2 Win 7 Dells and an iPad 1 all work flawlessly - it's not the router...
One the occasions that I am able to connect, it usually works fine, but if I put the computer to sleep and wake up again, there's no guarentee that the connection will work again - it's back to the lottery. And sometimes even when it's connected, the wifi stays (according to the menu indicator) but the internet connection disappears (to the point I can't even ping the router - 100% packet loss, let alone any internet server)
I've tried zapping everything I can think of (PRAM, SMC), repairing permissions, clearing the remembered networks from the System Prefs, deleting old Locations and creating new ones etc. I have a clean install of 10.7.1 that I booted off of, but it still had the same issues!

I'm pretty savy with computers and have dealt with all kinds of stuff before, but this one is beyond me, and is really annoying! I konw my machine is old, but it was totally useable up until these Wifi issues, and now wifi is basically useless.
From what I've read, it seems like its a driver issue with the Atheros card in my machine, but most people seem to be complaining about dropped connections (mine rarely drops) rather than timeout connection issues. I've also never had the "hardware not found" issue that many people have, so I think this is something different.
Anyone out there have any advice? I'm getting close to losing it with wifi since the update!

Sorry - to add:
I don't think it's a question of WPA vs. WPA2, or even channel number - I have 2 identical routers here and neither work (both default to WPA Ch 11) but I changed one to WPA2, new SSID, various channels and still had the same problems.
Another thing to note that should be irrelevant, but who knows: the Firewire controller on my machine died back in Fall 2010 - to the point where the system won't start-up unless I remove the IOFirewire***.kext from /System/Library/Extensions , and as soon as I do that, it works flawlessly (minus Firewire). It meant I had a **** of a time installing Lion becuase I can't boot off the Recovery Partition (which has the drivers baked into it), but by cloneing my HD, installing Lion onto the clone via a borrowed machine, removing the .kext's and cloning back, I got it on and everything seems to be fine otherwise... I posted about that problem before, but never got any answers. And it wasn't just me, my father has a late 2007 MBP and the same firewire issue happened to his within 5 days of mine (not a power spike - I think it was shortly after some system update if I remember correctly).

1st Gen C2D MBP -- need to reseat BT module. Where is it?

About a month back I brought my MBP (15" 2.16GHz C2D, late 2006) into a "local" Apple Store to have the display replaced since the backlight had a manufacturing flaw that finally showed up. Applecare covered that, which was nice.
However, last night I tried to sync by phone via BT for the first time since I got it back, and nothing happened. I looked closer, and the BT icon was greyed out, and peeking at More Info showed my that the system no longer recognized a bluetooth module.
My guess is that the Genius who repaird my MBP left something disconnected. I called AppleCare back and they said they'd fix it if I'd ship it in or bring it back into the store.
My problem is the closest store is a bit over an hour away. I don't have the time to make that trip, nor am I excited about spending all that gas money to get something fixed that's due to an error on their part.
I'm a pc tech by trade, so removing the screws and opening it up doesn't scare me (I'll need to do that in a month or so when I upgrade the hard drive anyway).
I Googled for any info on where the BT stuff is located, but can't find anything. Can anyone here help me identify the BT piece once I have the cover off?
Thanks.

You will have to find the exact manual for your machine and download it.
Good luck!

C2D MBP Bootcamp wireless issues with Trapeze networks gear

Okay, this may not apply to anyone else here, but here goes.
My office uses Nortel-branded Trapeze Networks a/b/g access points. In OS X, everything is peachy. With Boot Camp 1.1.2 drivers (latest) Windows cannot get on the networks.
It sees them, allows me to enter the appropriate WEP key, and says something like, "oops, the network disappeared... error". If I try and force it to connect to a certain SSID, it just tries forever.
Trying with a local airport express base station, everything works dandy in Windows.
Just throwing this out there.

I've got the same problem but w/ a different router (2Wire HomePortal 100W). It connects fine under OSX. Under Boot Camp it sees all the networks in the neighborhood but it won't connect to our router. It won't detect the encryption protocol. It connected fine w/ an old CD MBP but not this new C2D. What's up w/ this???

New Core2Duo MBP Wifi in WinXp Problems

I have a new MBP C2D with the N-like wifi card in it. The wireless in OSX is flawless as it was with my MBP CD. Once I switch over to XP however, it is non-functional. The new card is not supported by the Boot Camp drivers and I was hoping to find an early adopter who has gotten the wifi working in XP. I tried a D-Link driver that was reported to work on MacRumors forum, but to no avail. This could be due to ineptness in Windows, I have been Mac only for this century and so I am entirely unfamiliar with XP. With the older MBP the Boot Camp drivers took care of everything for me so I could use some help.
Thank you in advance.

I don't think the card's drivers are out there as of yet for boot camp. The post date for the current boot camp is Sept 16, 2006. The MBP with the C2D came out on 10/24/06. They need to make a revision to it, in order for it to support the current Atheros AR5008 802.11n chip set. Though other sites may provide so called solutions to the driver problems, they don't always hit the nail on the head. I think its best to wait a little bit so that Apple can catch up with their updates and provide the right drivers for the 802.11n card in boot camp, as well as for the other things that they might have changed as well. I hope they also add support for WinXP 64bit edition.

Sending email on wifi errors

On both my ipad 3 and iPhone 5 sometimes I can't send emails on wifi, I'll get "cannot connect to server" however if I switch wifi off and use LTE it works fine.. Switch back to wifi and it errors...
Using exchange and iCloud.
Anyone else?

Which email service and type (POP, IMAP, Exchange)?

OS X and Arch dual-boot on MBP - bootloader error

I have a Macbook Pro 9,2, and I dual-boot OS X and Arch. My main Arch partition is encrypted with an LVM on LUKS setup, and my main OS X partition is encrypted with Firevault 2. I run the vanilla Arch kernel, and I use xfce as my DE. I use refind as my boot manager, and grub as the bootloader for the Arch partition. This setup has worked flawlessly for several months. I update my Arch system once per week, and last Sunday was a large update since xfce got a large overhaul (in terms of program and config files). However, since the update I cannot boot into OS X (I am posting this here instead of an OS X forum since no change occurred to the OS X system so the problem must be with a change to my Arch system).
When I attempt to boot into OS X, I am asked for my password to decrypt the partition, but then I get the following error message:
efiboot loaded from device: Acpi (PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1F12)/SATA(0,0)/HD(Part3.Sig698A

When I hit a key, I get taken back to the refind menu. If I choose OS X again, I get the same error. This cycle can be repeated ad nauseam. Booting into my Arch partition, on the other hand, works just fine, with one hiccup. While usability does not seem to be reduced, after I input my password to decrypt the Arch partition, and before I see the tty1 login, I (since Sunday) occasionally get the following error message that I have never had before:
19.636262] [drm:crypt_set_fifo_underrun_reporting] *ERROR* uncleared pch fifo underrun on pch transcoder

The "READ FPDMA QUEUED" line and those below it repeat a few time with different numbers following "cmd" and "res," but then after a few moments the messages clear off the screen and I arrive at my tty1 login screen and from there everything in Arch (including my now-upgraded DE) works normally. This error does not occur during all boots, but I cannot discern any pattern behind when I see it and when I do not. The OS X error and failure to boot occurs every time I try to boot into OS X.
I have learned a lot as an Arch user, but this problem is beyond me. Google has not been particularly friendly, understandably so given the peculiarity of the problem and my setup. I have not yet tried undoing the update I did on Sunday because (a) it would be a pain since there were >30 packages that were upgraded, and (b) I have no evidence that the upgrade was actually causative of this issue, though I may eventually attempt the downgrade out of desperation if I cannot find a solution. Note that the update I keep referencing did not including a kernel update.
I appreciate any advice or insight that you can offer.

I don't have much in the way of a solution for your problem, but to start with, what were the > 30 packages? In particular, was grub/refind updated (or anything else that would likely touch your efi partition? I know from my own messing with refind, that you can potentially 'damage' your partition layout with certain commands which maybe causing osx not to boot...
Then again, the errors may have nothing to do with your arch installation and maybe indicative of a different problem all together. Normal procedure is at this point is to backup your complete disk (clone/mirror it, read up on how to do that especially with regards to the encryption systems used), and try to diagnose for any problems the mbp maybe having.
You could use an apple rescue cd (that may no longer be available with newer mbp , I have no idea..) or maybe use a different harddisk and install osx there and see if you can get everything running 'normally' thus ruling out any funky errors with the hw. check apple's recovery options if need be.
I guess you'll just have to fiddle about a bit and try to more closely determine what the actual problem is. and again, backup your stuff!

Good Temperature Monitor for C2D MBP??

Just got my 17" MBP and it's great!!
I am new to the laptop world, so if someone can recommend a temperature monitor (preferably free) that would be great.
It seems fine, but I'd like to be able to monitor this.
Cheers

It may actually be overkill......
But this is the best one I have found:

It is an amazing product.
