DLink router wont connect with MacBook Pro

Hello Everyone... I need a little bit of help on this one!!
My mom just bought a brand new MacBook Pro (yay, she finally switched!) , but for some reason I can not get her MBP to connect to their wireless. The Airport card will no even find the network to connect to. There is not a password set and asking my parents they are not sure if there was a cd or anything to set it up. They have a DLink router that is several years old (DI-624 is the model #) and I have been scratching my brain to figure this out and can not get it!! There are several posts that give suggestions, but none seem relevant to my problem.
Any help would be awesome and thank you sooo much for your help!!

assuming your mum's previous computer was/still is able to connect to the DLink, it probably means that SSID Broadcast in the wifi settings (of the DLInk) has been turned off. which means nothing can 'see' the DLink that hasn't connected to it previously.
you'll need to temporarily plug the MBP into the DLink via a Cat5 Ethernet cable, log into the DLink's config website (probably http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1), and check the wifi settings. no install CD required
u said no 'password' had been set. do you mean no wifi encryption had been configured? you'd be well advised to if there's anyone living within 100m of your Mum . while you're at it, see what encryption settings have been set up there / are available. if it's WEP (or no encryption at all as you suggest?), you'd be well advised to change it to WPA. WEP is now hopelessly broken (easily crackable within a minute with the right tools). just be aware that any change here will affect any other wireless device that's also using the DLink.
if WPA is not offered, goto the DLink website and check for new firmware...

    You could try updating your apple TV and then restarting it. Bit of a guess.

  • Slow Connection with MacBook Pro

    Whenever I try to connect my MacBook Pro (Early 2011) to the Apple TV (3rd generation) for Aiplay Mirroring, it takes a long time to connect, and when it connects, the screen is almost frozen and the same happens when I try home sharing, everyting I play starts lagging, Airplaying music works for a bit then starts lagging every two seconds. I've tried AirPlay with my iPhone 4s and it works perfectly with music video and mirroring. I'm using the latest OS on all devices.

    Sounds like it is not getting a great WiFi conneciton.  Streaming video is not tolorant of anyting other than a perfect connection.   You need a newer WiFi routner to support streaming video.  If you have one that supports the N standard then I would try resetting your Wifi router.

  • Problem while using Internet USB Connection with Macbook Pro

    Hi...
    My name is udayan and i am from India, I am using MACBOOK PRO from last 1 year. For most of this period i have used wi-fi connection for my laptop. But recently i have purchased a Relience Net connect Device for Internet facility. As soon as i started using this device, i have started facing an unusual problem. Whenever i start using it, after 5-10 mins. a fade screen appears and asks me to RESTART the laptop. This keeps on happening after every 10-15 mins which is pretty annoying. I have tried to use the same Internet device on normal laptops and it works just fine with that machine.
    Can you please help me to understand this phenomena? Is it a MAC limitation or something else?
    Hope to hear it from you soon.....
    Cheers!!!

    I tried to connect with Ethernet the MACBOOK Pro to the modem but the situation hasn't changed
    Are you saying you cannot connect to the internet wirelessly and through the ethernet?  If so, there is something else going on.

  • Wireless Mighty Mouse won't connect with MacBook Pro in Bootcamp

    I recently swapped my Bootcamp-partitioned hard drive from an older Core Duo MacBook to a late-2007 Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro.  I had no problem using the wireless mouse with the MacBook.  I'd click on the Windows desktop once it booted up and it worked flawlessly.
    But on the newer MacBook Pro it won't stay connected.  I have to pair it with the Windows Bluetooth control panel each time I log in.
    I'm not sure if this is connected to the issue or not, but I'm not able to use the trackpad and buttons on the MacBook Pro keyboard either.
    I've seached the discussions without any success.  Advice anyone?
    Thanks in advance.

    Well, by some stroke of dumb luck it finally connected. I slid the on/off switch open until the green light started to blink, when the mouse connected I opened it all the way and decided to work.

  • Nike + wont connect to Macbook pro

    I recently updated my macbook pro to the mountain lion and when I connected my nike fuel band; the nike connect shows in the dock and disappears. I have uninstalled and have gone  thru all of the trouble shooting with Nike. We tried to connect on an older version (e.g. lion) of mac (using another computer) and it worked. However, after updating that macbook it no longer recognized it as well.

    I think the only reason you would require a Bluetooth connection between an iPhone and MacBook Pro is to tether the phone to the laptop. And tethering isn't allowed with the iPhone on the AT&T network, so this is kind of irrelevant.
    And I don't think Apple is to blame, so the OP is way off base on this one.

  • Apple magic mouse keeps losing connection with Macbook pro

    I have a 2012 macbook pro, after upgrading to Mavericks(10.9.1, not have any other 3rd party software,just pure OS X), my magic mouse always losing bluetooth connection suddenly every one or two days. When losing connection, I found the bluetooth chipset type showing in macbook system information changed to unkown (FFFF). I have contacted with apple global support, and also have not gotten the solution. Just cleaning cache, and ect. but still didn't work.
    When I downgrading the OS X to 10.8.5 Mountain Lion, same macbook, same magic mouse, work very well. Never happened lose connection issue during one and a half month.  So, it should be a Mavericks bluetooth driver's issue, or something reletived.
    Any body have some good idea in solving this issue?
    Thanks in advance!

    I have the same problem with a 2007 MacBook Pro on Snow Leopard. As soon as I changed the mouse's batteries, it started losing connection every few seconds. The mouse came with Energizer batteries originally - they supposedly don't fit well, but the mouse worked fine. I exchanged them with Duracell, which gave problems. Now I have Varta batteries installed, they give problems too. The paper-trick doesn't work for me.
    Quite franky, I think it's rediculous that a fancy €69,- wireless mouse is so fussy about batteries. It's impossible to work with it. Is this just another way for Apple to get people to buy their batteries? I think a mouse this expensive should accept any and all batteries. Please, Apple: fix it. Seems like a really simple matter. Just put longer and stronger springs in the contacts for the negative poles.
    Thanks.

  • IPhone wan't connect with Macbook pro in bluetooth

    I Can't conect my iPhone to my Macbook Pro with bluetooth

    Have you tried the following:
    Pairing another device with your mac and/or iphone?
    Maybe the app requires sharing to be turned on for mac?
    I would check the app's requirements.. make sure it supports bluetooth versions that you're running.

  • Wireless keyboard wont connect to Macbook Pro...

    Hello everyone, I've found myself in a little bit of a situation today. I have an early 2011 Macbook Pro, the keyboard does not work due to water damage, and i've been using a wireless keyboard for a while now. I had to restart my laptop for an update and when the laptop turned on the wireless keyboard would not connect to the bluetooth, which now means I can no longer sign in my account.
    is there a way i can fix this problem?

    Iphone/ipad supportes bluetooth for stereo speakers/headsets, handsfree telephone devices/headsets, some keyboards, some peer to peer apps, and internet tethering if provided by the carrier.
    Otehr than these it will not connect to a phone/computer/device

  • Sony video walkman wont connect with premiere pro#

    the device is a sony vide walkman GV-D1000E, when connected to the pc using moviemaker or adobe on location it connects and functions as expected however when trying in the capture screen  no image appears and its says capture device offline.
    no drivers were released for this device as its always been aimed as a plug and play , now before you say it yes it is old and probably designed to work with older operatings systems but if it works in other programs why not premiere pro?
    thanks for any help in advance!
    Lou

    If i am not mistaken the walkman has dv in and out over firewire.
    Connect walkman to pc with i-Link.
    Turn pc and walkman on.
    Fire up Premiere and open project, make sure its set to dv.
    You might want to set the windows driver for the 1394 to Legacy.

    Hi Jürgen,
    There are some similar threads about using other devices as modem with Mac in our forum, e.g. here's one /t5/Connectivity/Using-Nokia-5800-as-a-modem-with-Mac-os/m-p/461646 where people discussed about using Nokia 5800XM as modem with Mac. Maybe there's something that would help you further. There are also links to other sites and blog articles which then further links to site that offers special modem scripts for Mac user (for various phone models).
