How do I connet to the internet on my MacBook Pro?

This is my first Mac, and I don't understand how to do this at all. So, if someone could give me step-by-step instructions, that would be perfect.

independently of what machine you have, what is your connection type to the internet?
Modem, Broadband, WiFi Router, Cable?

  • Create the internet network from MacBook Pro (Aircard) to iPhone and iPad

    I would like to create the internet network from MacBook Pro (that used Aircard) to iPhone and iPad. I already turned on the internet sharing, but could not create the internet network. Please let me know how to solve this problem.

    Couldn't you attach your iPhone to your computer and upload and add your iPhone Contacts to your iTunes Contacts and then sync the iPhone? Add one unique contact and calendar entry to your computer. You should then get the option to merge.

  • How do i turn off the startup sound on macbook pro?

    how do i turn off the startup sound on macbook pro?

    You don't. You may find some third-party software that will, however. Try Auto Mute.
    Alternatively, you can try this:
    I think this is the best and simplest solution. Open a Terminal window and type (or copy/paste) the following to turn down the startup noise:
         sudo nvram SystemAudioVolume="%00"
    Press RETURN.
    And to restore it to the original value type:
         sudo nvram -d SystemAudioVolume
    Press RETURN.
    That's all folks.

  • Downloading from the internet to my macbook pro

    HI I could use some help please. everytime I download something from the internet and I chose to save it, it doesn't give me the option to save it to my desktop or a folder it just automatically download it to the download folder. I have another macbook pro same exact specs and it allows me to make a choice to where I want to save the item. Anyone know where I can change this setting and how to do it. I am computer illiterate so I do know how to navigate around a computer I just can't seem to see where the settings are different between the two computers. Thanks for any help anyone can give!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    I assume you're using Safari - so open Safari/Preferences/General and under 'Save downloaded files to' set the location you prefer.
    Another option is to control/click on a download link and you'll then get a pop-up menu where you can select 'Download linked file as' and chose the destination.

  • How do I restore from the icloud to my MacBook Pro?

    I am not seeing how to RESTORE from iCloud back to my MacBook Pro... how do I do this?  My Harddrive died a few weeks ago and I want to recover whatever I have in the cloud.

    Howdy Mdelrusso,
    It sounds like you are wanting to restore from your iCloud backup to your MacBook Pro.
    iCloud backups are for iOS devices, and does not backup Mac computers.
    What iCloud backs up
    You have important information on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. iCloud automatically backs up your device over Wi-Fi every day while it’s turned on, locked, and connected to a power source. With your device information backed up in iCloud, you can easily set up a new device or restore information on one you already have.
    From: iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
              http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519?viewlocale=en_US
    Time Machine is what Mac computers use to backup and restore data. Here is some more info about what Time Machine is and how it works.
    Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
    If you were using iCloud for your Mail, Contacts, and/or Calendars you can turn on the iCloud functions to get that content back to your computer with this webpage:

    If you have pictuires on your iOS devices that you want to get back onto your computer, you can use this article to import them:

  • Can't connect to the internet on new MacBook Pro

    But I can with every other device and computer in the house. So when I run Network Diagnostics on the new MacBook Pro I see
    Wifi = Green
    Wifi Settings = Green
    Network Settings = Green
    Internet = Red (failed)
    Server = Red (failed)
    Ive tried connecting directly to the modem via ethernet, same result. But using my MacBook Air (on the same home network) everything is groovy, so I don't see a network issues here, but some setting on the new Mac that I can't determine. I'm running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 (had to run this version b/c I used Time Machine to build this one and the old MacBook wasn't in state where I could upgrade to Mavericks.)
    thanks

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • The internet on my macbook pro keep cutting out in OS 10.8..What to do?

    Hello,
    I purchased a new macbook pro about in early September and ever since I started using it in my home, the internet cuts out constantly.  I was using a aiport to connect wirelessly and then swithced to a router provided by  my internet company which is Time Warner.  I have the fastest package they sell but nothing seems to help.  The internet cuts out after about 5-10 minutes everyt time I use the internet and download speeds are nowhere near what they should be for the package I have.
    I'm using the newest OS (10.8.2).
    Any help is very much appreciated!
    Thank you

    Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
    1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
        Highlight  Internal Speakers
        Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
    2. Remove the headphone.
        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.
    3. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:
        "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
        Audio Devices window
        Side Bar
        Click the Built-in Output.
        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.
    6. System Preferences > Sound> Sound Effects
        Play sound effects through:
       Select "Internal speakers" and then back to "Selected sound output device".

  • How do I erase ALL the files on my MacBook Pro?

    I've just gotten a new MacBook Air and successfully migrated all my data from my MacBook Pro. Now I'd like to clean up my MacBook Pro for my son. I don't want to erase all the applications, but I do want to erase all my files. Is there an easy way to it?

    Easiest thing to do is create a new Admin account, login using that account, then delete your old Admin & user accounts. All your apps will still be present, but your user data & files will be gone.

    how do i connect to the internet with my ipad?

    Did you turn WiFi on in the Settings App? If WiFi is turned on, your iPad should be able to see any WiFi networks that you can connect to and you should be able to tap on one of those, enter a password if needed and then tap the join button.
    I get the feeling that you know this and the problem needs further explanation so ... Can you explain in more detail?
