I have two wireless networks that I switch back and forth. Everytime I switch the network zone my macbook pro hangs and I have to do a hard shutdown and restart. What is the fix?

Create two locations in Network, one for one and one for the other.

I have made some progress.... I can print wirelessly from my printer now, but I can't set the printer itself to be wireless. I had to move my printer downstairs to where my router is...which is not that convient. I printed up the page you asked about....and as expected, it says it is off line and there is no IP address. So now I need to figure out how to make my printer itself wireless. I did download the HP driver I needed...but I can't access it to do anything else. It seems l like I am missing a step... or I need to hook up my computer itself to the printer to help get the printer to be wirelss, but I can't hook it up because there is no port for me to do that (no port that looks like a phone jack). I am guessing I would need a different type of cord, but I am not sure what kind of cord that would be! Ugh!

The battery for my macbook pro 13 says "service battery". Now I want to get a replacement but the reviews for it are horrible! Does anybody have any suggestions?

The battery for my macbook pro 13 says "service battery". Now I want to get a replacement but the reviews for it are horrible! Does anybody have any suggestions? I don't want to spend 130 dollars on something I'm going to have to replace in less than a year (which is what normally I been reading) I do design work and I take my mac everywhere. Having to always look for a plug or having to be constantly plugged in doesn't sound ideal to me. Please help me. what should I do???

Why does it matter if it a scam????? I'll let you figure that out by yourself. If I'm going to replace it, why should I be contempt with a battery that I have to replace within months (as stated by some people in the comments). The issue here is not if I should or not replace it OBVIOUSLY I'm going to have to before it starts going crazy. The underlying issue is why is the replacement battery for a lack of better words " a bit crap." It comes with a 3 month guarantee?? Is that a joke?!??!?! Some people complained it malfunction after only 8- 9 months? I'm sorry but as an Apple fan I think it's absolutely rubbish. I know there is no magic cure I'm just hoping someone shines the light on how crappy this replacement is.

You haven't identified the version so I can't tell if offering you contact options for Adobe Support will be of use to you. But they will likely be your only hope of getting resolution unless you just happen to be using the wrong number as the serial number.

Is there a serial number for the battery for a Macbook Pro 17" (2008 or later)???, Is there a serial number for the battery for a Macbook Pro 17" (2008 or later)???

My Battery had a meltdown in my Macbook pro last summer. I was fortunate enough that I removed it before any real damage was done to my computer, however I'm not sure of the correct model of my computer or where to find the correct battery for it. I want to be sure I don't buy the wrong replacement for it. Do all the Macbook pro's use the same battery from 2008 til now??? Please help!!!!!!! I'm tired of always having to be plugged in...lol
THANKS!!!!

Is Time Machine something that I can back up to in a separate particle of my new MacBook Pro or do I need an external drive to use with it?

.....ie we have Seagate external drives but both have Windows files on them, although plenty of room. Am I able to keep the Windows files on them and back up to them with Time Machine on new MacBook Pro? Don't understand....and not very clear. Thanks
Belinda

Belinda,
In order to use Time Machine the external volume must be formatted in Disk Utility as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". You can't use a drive that is formatted to be used for both a Mac and a Windows unit (exFAT, etc.). You should purchase a new external drive to use with Time Machine and never let your work go for over a week with hooking up to the TM drive and allow Time Machine to do it's thing.

Try resetting your SMC.
Resetting the SMC of an Intel-based portable Mac with a battery you should not remove on your own
Note: This will not delete any data.
The SMC is responsible for controlling various system functions. None of your data will be deleted by resetting the SMC.
Shut down the computer by going to Apple () > Shut Down…
Select Shut Down or allow the computer to shut down automatically.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter into a power source and then connect it to your Mac if you have not already done so.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift (⇧), Control (⌃), and Option (⌥) keys and the Power Button at the same time.
Release the (left side) Shift (⇧), Control (⌃), and Option (⌥) keys and the Power Button at the same time.
I hope I helped.

HT204347 is there any other place that the serial # for a MacBook Pro can be found?

Is there any other place that the serial # for a MacBook Pro can be found. I purchased this on Ebay and it functioned fine for 6 months and then it comes on with a blank screen.

On mine at least, it's etched into the bottom cover. It's very tiny and on the screen hinge side of the casing.

When I switch my time capsule to 5.0ghz mode the range of my wireless network drops significantly. Near the Time Capsule my Macbook Pro works fine, in my bedroom I have almost no signal. In mixed mode it works fine. Any ideas on how to get 5.0 working?

Thanks, W

I'm not sure if you understand that 5 GHz has some upsides, but also some very significant downsides.
The upside is that the 5 GHz signal will allow faster speeds.
The downside is that you must always give up something in order to gain something else.Unfortunately, the marketing hype about 5 GHz does not go into very many details about this.
In the case of 5 GHz, the 5 GHz signals are much weaker than 2.4 GHz signals, so they do not travel as far or penetrate any obstructions like walls or ceilings nearly as well as 2.4 GHz signals. In many cases, in order to get good 5 Ghz performance, you literally have to have almost a line-of-sight relationship between your computer and the wireless router.
If you have a new dual band router, which broadcasts both a 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signal simutaneously, your Mac will connect to the best signal quality automatically depending on its location in relation to the router. In the same room, without any obstructions, it will connec to 5 GHz. But, take the laptop down the hall a few rooms and around the corner and the Mac will connect to the 2.4 GHz signal because at that location, the 2.4 GHz signal is not only stronger, it is also faster.

I have two wireless dsl routers. Router A is connected t...

I have two wireless dsl routers. Router A is connected to the internet, Router B is acting as a local wireless/wired LAN hub. The wireless clients cannot connect to both of these routers simultaneously, so I bought a linksys WET200 to act as a bridge between the two wireless networks. I have connected the WET200 to Router A via a wired connection, and have bridged to router B wirelssly. However I am not able to route internet traffic over this connection. Am I trying to do something that is not possible?

OK, so a wire the bridge to router B. Do I tell router B that the gateway for all non-local trafffic is the bridge IP, or the IP of router A? currently A is on 192.168.1.1, bridge is default 192.168.1.226 and router b is 192.168.1.250. Router b provides dhcp for the clients in range 100-150, and I have some static ips in 151-200. problem is no-one can ping 192.168.1.1

I have two blackberry 8520 that won't load the operating system one loads a third then switches off and on,the other loads and writes reload software...I've tried force detection it does not show me any ports I downloaded the software but still nothing happens...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try this
download device software from carrier's website
intall it on the computer.
after that plug your device in without the battery, once in
go to Start / Computer / C drive / Program files (x86) / Common files / research in motion / app loader / Loader.
double click LOADER to run.
once run wait for it to detec your device.
once done you will be routed to choose your language.
select language then NEXT
after that you will see " finish" or " close"
click it and the process will start
during the process when you receive an error that says " cannot detect device "
put the battery back in and keep on Retrying until the process proceed.
at the end you may receive a " fatal error occurs " but that is ok.
you device should be rebooting up by now.
Let me know if this help.

Yes, you have to carry the device if you want to use it.
and also why is there lots of different networks on my ipod which i can't get access without having a password?
Because there are many personnel wifi networks around. It seems that most households have one. The assign a password for two main reason;
- To not allow other users to steal their internet connection
- To help prevent outside users from gaining access to their computer.
