How do i extend the wi fi on my macbook pro

I work in construction which means that I'm always outside of a main building. Recently my temporary office has been moved beyond the internet range of our main building. The office is running on generator power so I rely heavily on my laptop. My question is if there is a 3rd party product that I can connect or install on my macbook pro that would allow me to see our companies wifi connection. Thanks in advance for your help.

You should be able to use an Airport Express to extend (repeat) the signal from your router.  I have used several D-Link products and they are usually compatible with Apple networking products for features like this.  You can find information on how to accomplish this with Apple's products here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4145.  You will need to go to D-Link's support website for the DIR855 here http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=DIR-855 to verify and/or complete the setup.
Otherwise, a 3g/4g setup from any cell provider or places like Clear internet will work too.  Clear has some Apple compatible devices available.
Good Luck!

    What really cheeses me off here is that Apple isn't allowing users enough customization.  With each update of iTunes (and the OS and iOS) we're forced to give up something that worked well for the way we want to use the app and make do with fewer (and lamer) options.  If Apple keeps this up, they're going to start losing customers fast.  I mean if this isn't fixed soon, I'm pretty sure I'm going to give up on iTunes, and then I'll probably go ahead and get a Galaxy when I need to replace my iPhone.
    What I don't understand about how they won't let users delete the list of available podcasts now is why?  How is this making it a better program?  I can understand that not all users are capable enough to right-click on a feed and select "Show all available episodes", so I can see why they want the complete list to be the default (and, surprise, it already was).  But to not give users the option to delete that list?  It's inconsiderate because it makes navigating feeds with a large back catalogue really frustrating.  I'm flabbergasted that no one at Apple considered all the podcast feeds that keep hundreds of episodes available when they removed this feature.  It smacks of rank incompetence.
    What improvement were they trying to make here anyway?  There was nothing wrong to my mind about how podcasts were managed in previous versions.  Whatever improvement they were trying to make here, they should have realized that many users would at least want the option to keep things the way they were.
    And reverting to a previous version is no solution.  I can't sync my iPhone with the new iOS without this update, and (while I do have some issues--specifically how you can't play podcasts in the Music app anymore) I do like the new iOS.

  • How can I erase the data on my 2009 macbook pro that won't turn on because of a faulty motherboard? Do I just remove the hard drive, install it in a working mac, and erase it that way?

    You put the internal drive in an enclosure. If you choose to keep the drive, you don't need to erase it.

  • How do i get the GBP sign on my macbook pro

    HI how do i get the GBP sign on my macbook pro ?
    Thanks

    You hold down the Option key and type a 3 on a US standard keyboard.
    Or you open System Preferences / Keyboard, tick the Show Keyboard & Character viewers option. That will pop up a menulet in the menu bar from which you can choose the Keyboard Viewer item. In turn, that pops up a mini-floater on the screen, mimicking your keyboard and showing what characters are produced as you press any of the keys.

  • How do I fix the power button on my MacBook Pro?

    How do I fix the power button on my MacBook Pro? Thanks to Apple,  if you accidentally hit the power button with Mavericks, your downloading, ripping, burning, saving and any other process will be halted without completing.  How do I fix this so this no longer happens?

    Which os version are you using?  Which model Macbook Pro do you have?
    Does this article apply - MacBook Pro: Distorted video or no video issues?  The affected computers  were manufactured between approximately May 2007 and September 2008.

  • How can I get the tech specs of my MacBook Pro?

    Hi - I want to sell my MacBook Pro (to buy a new one). I am one of those people who loves Apple because I do not have to worry about techy things as I had to when I was a PC guy. The problem is that, as a result, now that I want to sell my MacBook, I cannot remember its tech configuration and do not know how to get it!!
    I am sure this question is most silly for most of you. Could someone please let me know how I can get the tech specs of my MacBook? In particular, I was thinking of:
    - OS X version
    - Processor
    - L2 cache
    - System Bus
    - Memory (RAm)
    - Hard Drive
    - Optical Drive
    - Graphics card
    - Graphics memory
    - Video capability
    - Display resolution
    - Expantion slots, etc
    - Ethernet card
    - Wireless card
    Thanks a lot!!

    For the published specs, click on the Support tab at the top of the page, select the "Tech Specs" link, and search for your model of MacBook Pro. For specifics about your system, run System Profiler, which will be in Applications -> Utilities folder on your MBP.
