Help connecting macbook

I recently bought a macbook and was using it on my network with a BEFW11S4. Originally i was using my pc with this router, but now its strictly the mac. It has been working fine for about a month, but this morning when i turned my mac on it would see my network. I still see others in my area, but mine is gone. I tried resetting my router and still nothing. When i connect directly to my router via ethernet cable, it wont let me login to the router either. It justs clocks until it says problem loading 192.168.1.1 I dont know what to do, is my router trashed?

I guess it ultimately depends on what you are going to be using the monitor for. If you buy an expensive lcd then you can take advantage of the digital input capability. If you are only going to be using it a dual monitor with limited uses then save the money and go vga.

Help- Connecting Macbook Pro 13" to TV with S video only

Hi guys,
So I am trying to connect my Macbook Pro 13" 2009 model to my Tv at home so I can watch movies. My Tv is a Phillips Plasma
and only has a S video and audio headset input available (no hdmi). My Macbook has a mini displayport input. I went into the
Apple store and they suggested buying a s video cable, an audio cable and a Mini dvi to video adpater, which I did. The adapter however
is not the right one and does not fit into any port on the computer. This is when I realised my Macbook has a mini displayport not a mini dvi port...
any suggestions on what cables I can use to get my Macbook hooked up to the s video??
Any help would be appreciated!
Thankyou!

Bring it back and start over.

Help connecting Macbook Air to network printer

Hi, i am having trouble connecting a HP OfficeJet 7612 to a Macbook Air running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 (14C109).
The printer is connected to the router via Ethernet and the Macbook is connected to the router via Wifi.
When searching for printers through the HP Utility setup or just by adding a printer it does not show anything in the list of available printers.
There is an iMac in the office running Yosemite and that found the printer straight away, asked to download additional software and was working in minutes.
I can add the printer by IP address but i can only print to it. It says at the bottom of the window "Please note: An IP connection is supported. However, only the print feature will work properly." This is an all-in-one device and we would like to be able to use the scan feature on the Macbook.
Things i have tried already:
Uninstalling the driver, printer and software with the HP Uninstaller, this includes a "Reset printing system…"
Downloading and installing the latest drivers and software from the HP website.
Repairing Disk Permissions.
In the printers EWS chaning the Bonjour Highest Priority Service to 9100 Printing.
Disabling IPv6 on the printer.
Restarting the router and printer.
I personally feel it is not a problem with the printer but a problem with Network discovery / Airport settings on the Macbook
Any help would be really appreciated thanks!

Need help connecting MacBook to TV

I'm trying to connect my MacBook to a regular everyday TV (i.e. only the three A/V inputs), but having trouble with the monitor (audio isn't a problem).
I have a Dynex mini-DVI to video converter and a yellow video cable, but it only puts a very scattered picture on the TV. Should that theoretically work, or do I need to make use of the S-video output on the converter? (I THINK that's what the second output is... I'm not too much of a technophile.) If I need something else, can anyone recommend anything?

Your TV has a DVI input connector. You need a bunch of stuff:
1) Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. Apple sells these.
2) DVI-D video cable. Both ends should be DVI-D. This is the standard PC monitor video cable.
3) Stereo mini cable. Both ends should be stereo mini
Attach the Mini DisplayPort adapter to your MacBook. Attach the DVI-D cable to this adapter, and attach the other end to your TV. There is only one DVI-D connector; if you have a DVI-D cable, you won't mistake the connector for something else.
Attach the stereo mini cable to your MacBook. Attach the other end to the input marked "PC Audio In (stereo) on the back of your TV.
If you don't get a picyure immediately, shut down your Mac. With the TV powered on, boot up your Mac. Then, if necessary, open System Preferences and pick Displays. All should be fine now. You can probably get display resolution of 1024x768 pixels.

Help Connecting Macbook to Xavi 7968 in Barcelona, Spain

I am working in Barcelona for 2 months and have moved into a place that has Telefonica WIFI service provided by a Xavi 7968 router.
I can see the network I want to connect to, but the password is invalid(?).
Can someone give me as much detail/explanation as possible in connecting wirelessly.
I am currently using a 3 foot cord to connect which is not comfortable.
Thanks in advance.
Also, the whole 192.168.1.1 won't let me log in, as the username and password are both 1234. If I reset the router, I have a window of about 3 minutes where it works, then I get logged off? Explanation for that?

Hello all!
i need help.
For ten days I cannot connect me to my network (router Amper Xavi 7968) by wifi.
The Airport recognizes my line , but it asks for the password WEP (which already was memorized) and after a few seconds appears the message of " Time of connection exhausted ".
I have tried everything, (to restart the router the mac to bring over to the antenna to the maximum, changing channels, etc but it doesn't seems to work)
This happened after the update 10.5.6.
The windows laptops in the house are working fine.
Help!

Help connecting macbook to monitor

I am about to pick up a new 24" LCD display, but I can't decide between an HP with 2 DVI inputs, or the Dell with rave reviews.
The monitor will be hooked up to my desktop G5, and to laptop when it's stationed.
Will having the macbook hooked up via DVI make a big difference over having it hooked up via VGA?
There is almost a $150 difference between the two monitors.

I guess it ultimately depends on what you are going to be using the monitor for. If you buy an expensive lcd then you can take advantage of the digital input capability. If you are only going to be using it a dual monitor with limited uses then save the money and go vga.

Problem connecting MacBook to a Sharp video projector

One of the great things I like about Macs is the easy way they (usually) connect to a video projector. Unlike a lot of my friends who run PCs with Windows I never had any problems whatsoever connecting my MacBook to a projector at the university and start my presentations.
Until today that is.
I tried to connect my MacBook with Apple's mini-DVI to VGA adapter to a Sharp ("Notevision") video projector and although the MacBook had the projector (even with its correct name "PG-M20X" and available resolution settings) listed under "Displays" immediately, I couldn't get the projector to show any more than "no signal" whatever input source I chose...
What did I do wrong? Or is it the projector that is somehow "incompatible"?! Please help!

Maybe this could help as well:
After we tried several things with the MacBook (reboot, "detect displays" etc.), we successfully connected a Powerbook (15", FireWire 800, late 2003) to the projector, using Apple's DVI-VGA Adapter.
So that did work out fine, but the MacBook didn't work on the projector. The cable that came with the projector was a VGA--DVI-A cable: there were only a few pins on the DVI-end of it going into the DVI-Connector on the projector. Could it have something to do with that? But why didn't the Powerbook have any problems connecting to the projector then?

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.

Trying to connect Macbook Pro and IMac...suggestions?

Trying to connect Macbook Pro and IMac with Apple Remote desktop or a cable. They do share a wifi router.
Thanks much!

not sure if you found an answer to this. I just got a mb pro and want it to connect to my imac (late 2009). I set up sharing on hte imac, file sharing and dvd/cd sharing. from the mbpro i simply went to finder>go>connect to server. I entered the name as on my imac (xxx.local) and immediately connected. This was a massive help to me as I had some software (aperture, office for mac) that were on drive and the new mbpro doesn't have a disk drive. through sharing I could access the disc drive remotely via my mbpro and load the software that way. worked beautifully on my wifi (which is apple airport extreme).
Hope this helps.

How to connect macbook pro to panasonic tv with hdmi cable

How to connect macbook pro to panasonic hd tv with hdmi cable

Hi m,
It depends which MPB you have and the inputs on the TV. The following assumes your TV has an HDMI input which will work with a computer.
This is if your MBP is from April 2010 or newer:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241
First connect the adapter to the MBP and the HDMI cable from the adapter to the TV, then go to System Preferences > Sound > Output > select HDMI.
Or if your MBP is older than that and you have a Mini DisplayPort, you can use something like this: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/CBLMDPHDMID/
If it's older than that, for video you need a DVI or mini DVI to HDMI or whatever input your TV has. For audio, you need a 3.5mm stereo mini plug to RCA or optical (Toslink), depending on what audio input your TV has.
