Can't connect to netgear wifi with macbook pro

I have a Netgear N900 router and although I can find the signal I cannot connect to the wifi. Each time I clicked on it, it would fail to connect and say to move closer to the router. However the router has already been upgraded to make the signal strong enough to reach my room. I have tried restarting the router and it has not worked. I have gone into the router through my browser and reserved an IP address and changed my network settings on my computer to "using DHCP with manual address" and entered the reserved IP address. I restarted my computer but now my macbook pro says that it is connected but I can't connect to the internet when i open a browser. I'm not sure if I'm not reserving the IP address correctly or if there is another solution to this problem. If anyone has encountered this problem and found a solution that would be amazing. I have been trying for a month now to fix this. Thanks!

Can't create wifi with macbook pro

recently after i have bought my new mbp 13.3 released 2014 it recognized my wifi at home but then i attempted to update my operating system , but it fails , after rebooting i can't connect to the wifi the tool bar says wifi-no hardware installed, i have run hardware test, everything seems fine
i connected by ethernet , updatec to the latest OS , but the problem still exists. i have done every trick to fix the problem, i even contacted apple help desk but no good answer
please let's share this issue and solve it.

We'll need some more information.
When you try to connect what are you seeing?
When you go to Network Settings (System Preferences > Network) what does it report? Does Wi-Fi say Off or On? (This image is from an iMac connected via wire to the network but I wanted to give you an example of the screen). Does your Wi-Fi say Connected or off?
Do you see something similar in Wi-Fi as what I have shown below for Ethernet? Basically does your Wi-Fi in "Status" say "Connected. Wi-Fi is currently active and has the IP address xx.xx.xx.xx."? If it does not then you are not even seeing the Wi-Fi network.

Can't Connect Via Ethernet on new MacBook Pro

Hello,
I'm running into a frustrating problem and hoping someone can help.
I have a new MacBook Pro that won't connect via Ethernet. My old computer (Powerbook G4) with the same settings works flawlessly.
Details: under Network Settings I have Automatic/Using DHCP. When I click on Assist Me>Diagnostics, I get green lights all the way down (Built-In Ethernet, Network Settings, ISP, Internet, Server). The Diagnostics tool therefore proudly announces that my Internet connection is working correctly.
When I open Safari, however, it won't open any page. Using Ping I also get no responses.
When I plug the exact same ethernet cable into my Powerbook G4, everything works flawlessly. The only difference is that the IP address ends in .25 instead of .30 (I assume that's from the router assigning different IP addresses to the two computers.)
On another forum i read about someone having a problem with a long/lossy ethernet cable, but I just took my computer to the router and tried with a 2-foot ethernet cable. Same situation.
Help!
Thanks

i rebooted the firewall and it worked.

Can I connect every USB-Audiointerface with Logic Pro?

Hello there,
please forgive me, if my english isn't so well.
So, my "problem": I actually informated me over Logic Pro X, and by the provided Audiointerfaces, I didn't saw my Audiointerface.
But - Can I simply connect a USB-Audiointerface with Logic Pro?
So, hope you understand me,
Best wishes, "toasbrot_55" (sorry for that name, i don't know when I did chosen this name)

All Mac OS compatible audio interfaces work with Logic, and almost all USB interfaces are Mac compatible. So it depends on which interface you have (make and model), and which Mac OS version you use.

Can't connect to Netgear router with WPA enabled (MBP)

I just received a Macbook pro today, everything is wonderful except wireless networking. When it first started up, it detected my wireless network, showed me the SSID, and asked for a password. I entered the password, and it failed to connect. I decided to try later and did the rest of the install.
I connected via cabled ethernet and downloaded all of the updates. For a machine that shipped from the Apple store (custom config) a few days ago, I was surprised at having 13 LARGE updates to download. Grabbed them all, including a Firmware update which required two reboots. One for everything else, and another for the firmware.
I tried again from sysprefs, and asked for the diagnostics. It asks me for my WEP key, and there is no option for WPA. I tried entered the WPA key anyway, despite only three WEP options showing up, and it still fails.
Going through the Airport 'tab' and editing the connection, I get an option for WPA Personal, Enterprise, WPA 2 Personal, and WPA2 Enterprise as well.
I tried using WPA Personal and WPA 2 Personal and entering the key which works on other notebooks, still no joy.

Which Netgear router do you have? I use the Netgear
RangeMax WPN824 and works well with WPA enabled but I
think it may have failed to work the first time.
WGT624 v2. Works fine with other wireless devices from a number of vendors, and is detected by the Mac, but I can't connect. I don't want to disable WPA if I can help it, I have a number of other systems configured for it as is, plus guests that come to visit.
but some how I had to delete the connection,
let airport find it again and re-enter the password
to get it to work. One of those things I kind of did
in the process of troubleshooting and can't remember
exactly how it was I did it
I'll try that and see if it helps. Thanks for following up.
UPDATE: Sure enough, I deleted the network and added it back in by manually specifying the SSID and password, and it works now. No idea why, but there it is... thank you very much.

Can't connect to our wifi with my laptop, but pc and iphone can!

All devices (my boyfriends pc and my iphone and ipad) can log into our new wifi network except for my macbook pro. I can connect to any other wifi like the starbucks or our neighbors network, and all different hotel networks. I've never had a problem connecting with this laptop and have had it for years. Apple says it's comcasts, comcast says it's apple. I've spent hours on the phone with both and neither has solved the problem. HELP please anyone. I feel so constrained with this ethernet cord! And I don't want to get a new laptop just to get wifi.
I've reset the modem, I've changed login and password info, I've been on the phone with apple clearing out all my network history etc...
Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer some help.

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

jornjr,
Hmm, that is odd let's get to the bottom of this and ensure you can connect to all wifi connections. Please try this: Settings> WiFi> Menu> Advanced> Uncheck Smart Network Switch. Also ensure your "Keep WiFi on during sleep" here are the steps for that: Settings> WiFi> Menu> Advanced> Ensure Keep WiFi on during sleep is set to "Always". Please let us know if this helps.

Connecting HP Laserjet 1010HB with Macbook Pro via D-Link Network!?

Good evening,
I have a MacBook Pro and I want to be able to print via WiFi.
The Printer is hosted by a Windows Computer via D-Link Router Network
My sister who has a Windows Laptop is able to print.
I read about Bonjour but this seems to be a software for windows computers
to print with a Networkprinter hosted by an Apple-PC.
I need exactly the opposite.
Host: Windows 7 (D-Link Router DIR-655)
Me: OS X 10.6.7
I tried to use Shareport Utility but without success.
Shareport doesn't show the Printer.
 > system settings > print and fax > + > doesn't work. What settings should I use? LPD, IPP, HP Jet direct socket.
And the driver: We got a HP Laserjet 1010HB -> HP Laserjet 1010, HP Laserjet 1010 v2 Gutenprint, HP Laserjet 1012, v2 1012 gutenprint.
How ever I don't know what to do.
And I will certainly NOT buy any additional Airport thing of Apple or they can **** ***** ****** ** ***** **** and I will **** ***** **** ****
Hope you can help me.
cheers

Thanks for the feedback LilyLC. I too have gone through all of your steps and a host of others. Still with no luck. No problems at all with my Airport Express, but still no way to keep up a connection with my DIR-655 via WIFI N. I tried all of the steps with each firmware version too. I've given up at this point. I want the 2 months of my life back that I spent troubleshooting this mess. At least Apple could acknowledge this and say we are on it, and that it isn't only "in our heads."
/begin rant/
I think that Apple needs to do some re-evaluating of their software release schedule/quality control. At this point I would rather wait and have them get it right then put out subpar updates and fall into the downward spiral pattern of "the rest of them". My confidence has been shaken and I've been a mac fan since the beginning. I just want Apple to split off the iPod/Phone/TV etc. into its own division and to get back on track with the Mac line starting now. We need this stuff to work to make a living and this takes a higher priority in my mind than new twiddle apps on the iPhone.
I do own two iPods and an iPhone but would chuck them in a river to get Leopard working solidly with the majors like Adobe, Extensis, Epson, as well as stable networking, syncing and backups. Apple really has their hands full at this point with a large list of bugs. I really wish them well but can't say I'm in the least bit happy as a consumer at this point. For the first time in a long time I feel sheepish when answering whether or not I'd recommend a Mac, and that hurts me deeply for some reason.

Can I connect an iMac AND a MacBook Pro at the same time on icloud ?

I arrived without a problem connecting my MacBook Pro icloud but I can not open a session with my iMac when I get the Apple ID and my password and he said "The login is currently impossible.Try reconnecting" and below the two boxes there writes : "Apple ID or password not recognized". I do not understand why, while on the same iMac I connect without problem on www.icloud.com

After 1 or 2 reboot system I managed was enter my MacBook Pro my AppleID and it is connected I managed so to have the flow of "Stream Photo" from my iPhone 4 S to my iPad 2 on the MacBook. But incomprehensible how the function "find my Mac" not recognize the MacBook Pro in "iCloud.com" or App in the iPhone 4 / iPad 2. Thus I do little "see the iMac, iPhone 4 and my iPad 2" and not the Macbook Pro !?!
I am sorry about my English quality but I'm not English speaking this text is translated by Microsoft Translator.

Connection between ASUS PB278Q with MacBook Pro

I'm trying to use a DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable to connect my ASUS PB278Q display with my MacBook Pro (late 2008 model). However, I found that it doesn't work. I had used mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter to connect my display and MBP, it's worked but only have up to 1080p resolution.
I have checked that the graphic card of my MBP can support up to 2560 x 1600 pixels and the ASUS PB278Q is up to 2560 x 1440 pixels.
Do you have any idea how I can connect my display and MBP, in order to get the maximum resolution?

This question should be posted in the iPhone forum, as you stated you believe its due to iOS5, which we do not handle here.

Can I connect three projectors to my MacBook Pro? (not mirrored)

I am doing the scenery for an opera, which is supposed to be projected onto the flats using three different projectors. What I would like to do is hook up all three projectors to my MacBook Pro, and have different parts of the scenery show up on each projector--meaning that the displays will not be mirrored. Can this be done?

I created a similar set up using multiscreener and a few mac minis driving individual projectors and yet synced via wifi. This meant that the projectors+mac only need to be connected to power and not to each other.
http://www.zachpoff.com/software/multiscreener/
MultiScreener is a set of free applications that synchronize the playback of Quicktime movies on multiple computers, using a local network to tie them all together. (It can also sync multiple movies on the same computer using multiple monitors.)

How can I connect 5.1 speakers to Macbook Pro 13 bought Summer 2011

Hi all
I am very new to the mac world. Basically I need to know how I can connect my Macbook Pro 13" to a 5/1 set of speakers.
Do I need something to plug to mini display port?
Thanks

I conclude that I cannot use any 5.1 Computer Speaker sets that go with my Macbook Pro 13 and get a real Dolby sound,right?
"Computer speakers" Basically no. They mosty are either stereo analog (for music playback) or 5.1 gaming PC speakers that are married to a 5.1 sound card for PC towers.
You would have to have a stereo reciever and 5.1 speakers that can accept:
1: Toslink optical inputs
2: Decode Dolby Surround Sound
3: The media your playing back must have a Dolby sound option.
Most 5.1 computer speaker setups are for gaming PC towers and takes a sound card that does the processing for each channel, has three analog wires
Wire 1: Left and Right front channels
Wire 2: Left and Right rear channels
Wire 3: Subwoofer and center, common ground (returns all the used electrons to complete the loop)
Your Mac has none of these, it's just a stereo analog, 2.0, a left and right channel, common ground (three sections on the plug)
So no you can't use a PC based 5.1 system on a Mac, unless you bridge the first two wires either with adapters or splicing the cables. Then it's not true surround sound, just two stereo channels that fills the room with sound.
With true surround sound, you can hear people creep up behind you, bullets whizz by your face, planes flying past overhead. It's a more immersive experinece.
So unless the "computer 5.1 speakers" has it's own Toslink optical inputs and decodes Dolby (and other) surround sound formats, has a built in amplifier to power speakers, then no. As most 5.1 comptuer speakers are designed for PC 3D gaming, thus inexpensive.
The Mac market for 3D gaming is rather small, tiny in fact. I haven't seen any "computer speaker" setup with the required stuff to playback true suround sound.
Mac's are used for music and video production, that's why they have the better optical ports.
Your just going to have to buy a home theater system to playback Dolby 5.1
