Does anyone know why my MacBook Air doesn't automatically pick up WiFi from my Time Machine? I have to choose my network everytime I open the laptop

I have attempted several different choices within preferences and yet, it still won't work.  The confusing part, is that when I'm at a different location, and have chosen a WIFI network there, each time I open the laptap, it automatically connects to that network. Not so at home.  Thanks for any help or suggestions!

Open Finder, press Option key, select Go > Library, open Preferences and delete com.apple.network.prefPaneSimulate.plist. If it doesn't work, open > http://rys.sommefeldt.com/2011/09/04/osx-lion-wifi.html http://www.reedcorner.net/understanding-upgrade-nightmares/

  • Does anyone know why my macbook pro doesn't use sound output anymore?

    Hi, I have a Macbook Pro w/ Mountain Lion (10.8.2) and I don't know why or how, but the sound just stopped working. I can use headphones or my bluetooth speaker, but the speaker coming out of the keyboard doesn't sound anymore. Anyone else have the same problem or know the solution? Any advice is good. Thank you.

    Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
    System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Make sure Mute is not enabled.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.

  • Does anyone know why iOS 7 still doesn't have group messaging?

    Yes, I know I can send a group message by entering the contacts one at a time. But it should be possible to just enter the name of a contact group and have it automatically send a text to everyone in that group. Every other mobile OS has this feature. Even my daughter's dumbphone does this. And when I look online for workarounds, I see LOTS of grumbling about the fact that this incredibly basic feature STILL isn't included in iOS7. Does anyone know WHY? It totally mystifies me why something so basic isn't an option.

    I left feedback on it about three or four times since I got my iPhone.
    Apple do not respond to feedback and since they have not added the facility ,you have your answer
    and you got my response because as Ralph posted ...................

  • Does anyone know if a macbook air from Australia will work in the UK?

    I need to know what problems I would have if I bought a Macbook air in Australia and brought it to the UK, would it still be able to connect to BT wireless? and what would i need to change power wise is it just the cable or is the voltage different? Also would programs still be compatable such as windows office?

    Yes, it should work everywhere in the world. You do not require any power adapter change but you may require a wall socket plug adapter. You can buy them at some computer stores as well as major travel stores. Apple also sells their own World Travel Kit.
    It is possible that your computer's Australian accent will change to a British accent if you stay in the UK too long.

  • Have to reconnect to network everytime I open the macbook

    I recently moved and have a new ISP. Everytime I log off of internet or close the macbook I have to reselect my network and sign in to get back on the internet. I have not done any updates, etc. since the move. Never had this problem before.
    I have read several threads about deleting all networks from System Pref but when I go to Syst Pref no networks show up. Any ideas? And feel free to talk to me like a two year old! Thanks in advance

    Not possible with Adobe Reader. When you have also the owner password you can change the security with Adobe Acrobat.

  • Does anyone know why my MacBook has an intermittent high-pitched whine?

    Today my MacBook started making a high-pitched whine. It's like a high musical note and comes and goes. I closed as many programs as I could. Still working in Chrome (and that's what I have been on when it makes noise). It almost reminds me of a fanbelt issue.... but that's impossible, right?

    Yeah, if you go to Programs > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Then select where you want the sound to come from, then click on the settings cog at the bottom, and select Use this device for Sound Output, and you can select the internal speakers for System Alerts & Sound Effects if you wish.

  • Does anyone know why I am having formatting issues with my tablet and phone sites? I only have the desktop layout. There are banners and footers not reaching the edge of the screen.

    I only have the desktop layout. As I was having such problems with the tablet and phone layouts. However there are banners and footers not reaching the edge of the screen. This is only a problem when accessing the site via a phone or tablet.

    Do a Select all on your pages (Most likely a master page if it effects all pages) and you will likely find an empty element or element that extends past the design edges in your desktop design.

  • Does anyone know why my i pod will sync music but not pod casts or audio book (it used to)

    does anyone know why my i pod will no longer sync podcasts or audio books when i still have memory left and it will sync music still???

    Both Podcasts and audiobooks are synced using a separate tick box from the music. So, connect your iPod to iTunes and check the Device/Podcasts (and Books for the audiobooks) and make sure that the relevant box is ticked to enable syncing.
    If you need to change the setting (that is, if you need to put the tick back on), you should perform a sync afterwards to make sure the change has been updated onto the iPod.

  • I just bought my macbook pro 2 weeks ago and have noticed that when I go to start it up, it takes longer to power up than when I first bought it. Does anyone know why this may be and of a fix for it?

    Hi. It could be that the more you pile on the HD, the longer it will take to boot. When I first bought my MBP, it took maybe 30 seconds. But as I began putting more content on the HD, it seemed to take a bit longer to boot. You may also want to consider putting your MBP in sleep mode. That's what I do with mine and it doesn't hurt at all as far as I can tell.

    Did you update to iOS 7? If yes you need to update iTunes on your computer to iTunes 11.1
    If you are using iTunes 11.0 and iOS 6.x then show the left sidebar in iTunes.
    When in iTunes on your computer use the View menu to View Sidebar. The device should show up there when connected.

  • My MacBook Pro is really hot and the fan is on constantly. It didn't use to do this, does anyone know why this is happening? I have a very short battery life, so I have to keep it plugged in probably more than I should.

    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
