INTERNET CONNECTION FAILED ON MACBOOK PRO

Hello - Our MacBook Pro randomly doesn't connect to the Internet. We know there isn't an issue with our service since our PC does not have any issues. We get a page that states: You are not connected to the Internet. This page cannot be displayed because your computer is offline. 2nd page: Network Port Configurations: Wi-Fi selected, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Settings, and ISP all have green dots, Network Settings: yellow dot, Internet and Server both say "failed" with red dots. When I select continue button, I get this: Network Change Detected.
I don't understand how anything has changed, since we haven't changed anything...and again, this randomly happens only on the Mac, not on the PC!! I'm sending this using our PC.
Thank you!

I'm now on the MacBook....it's working again....

Internet connection lost on Macbook Pro when PCs are connected.

Recently I running into very annoying problem, here it is:
I am using comcast cable internet, connected to Airport Extreme (802n) wan port via ethernet, I got 3 computers are using the same wireless network: one Macbook Pro and two PCs. If both PCs are off, I have no connection problems on Macbook Pro, but if either one of the PCs are on, the browsers on my Macbook Pro can't connect to internet, however, I can still receive emails on Macbook Pro. By the way, airport extreme are set to DHCP, all computers share one IP address. Airport extreme with most recent firmware 7.3.2 installed.
Any help are welcome and thank you in advance.

ddg57, Welcome to the discussion area!
By the way, airport extreme are set to DHCP, all computers share one IP address.
Each computer should have their own separate IP addresses. So I'm hoping that your statement above means:
(1) The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) uses DHCP to get an IP address from the ISP.
(2) The AEBS is configured to share a single IP address (not bridging).
(3) The computers are configured to get an IP address via DHCP (via wireless).

Internet Connection Slow on Macbook Pro (Mid 2010)

All of the sudden, this past week, my internet has been running quite slow on my Macbook Pro. This problem is with the Macbook itself and not with the internet connection (I have connected to various networks and my other wifi devices run well on them). I am not experiencing a problem connecting to various networks, but only the internet speed on all my browsers is the issue.
Has anyone experienced this issue before? Do you have a suggested remedy?
Thanks for your help.

Internet connectivity problems with Macbook Pro, mid 2012.

I have a Macbook Pro, mid 2012, running OS 10.8.5. My able to access the Internet is intermittent, both with Ethernet or Wifi. When I check Network settings, it indicates that I am connected, even though I cannot access the Internet. I have to restart the compute to gain access again, which doesn't last. I've taken it to the local Apple Store. They ran thorough diangostics tests which found no hardware problems. I have done complete clean reinstalls of the OS as well. I also have frequent Kernel Panic restarts. I have no problems connecting through my router for my Imac via Ethernet, and wirelessly for a Windows laptop and smartphones and iPod. Any suggstions out there?

Slow internet connection on my macbook pro

Ok so I am having some really weird problems with my internet. I got my macbook pro about one month ago, and couldn't get it to connect to my wireless internet at all. I finally figured out it needed to be WPN instead of WEP. It has worked great for a couple weeks, but now it is painfully slow. I have an old PC that works fine, as well as my girlfriends macbook pro. I have run speed test on all three computers wirelessly and though the ethernet cable. The other two computers are running around 10,000 kbps, and my computer is running between 200 and 2000. I have tried doing open DNS, and have had no luck that way. I am at a loss. Oh and the computer works fine every were else besides my house. So I have ruled out the cable internet, the router seems to work fine, and if I'm not at my house the computer works fine. Anyone have any suggestions. The people at Apple, Comcast, and Motorola, seem to be know help since each can claim their product is working fine.
Thanks

I am having the same problem. I get out to another wireless system than the one at home and I have no problems. When I am at home I go to some sites slowly and have trouble getting some to even work. I know it is no the internet connection itself because I have many other computers on the network that work just fine. I even bridged the internet connection from the airport to the ethernet to another computer and that computer has no trouble with the internet. I do not know what the problem is but it is something in the software not the hardware because I have bootcamp on my MBP and when I am in windows mode I have no internet troubles. SO just to let you know you are not the only one who is having these troubles.
At home I am using Charter Cable Internet and a Time Capsule for a router. I do not believe that these are the problems because I do not have any troubles on my older Mac computers and I do not have any trouble with my windows based systems. I have had times where the internet seams to work fine at home and then later it does not work so well. I also encountered this same problem at one of the hotels I stayed at recently. Because of this I know that it is not the internet but the MBP I purchased a couple of months ago. It is something to do with the computer using the information and presenting it on screen to us. I do not know what it is but I know the problem is there.

Slow Internet connection sharing on Macbook Pro

Hi all,
I am experiencing really slow internet connection sharing via the airport from a second machine directly. I can access the internet or web pages with excellent reliability however the download/upload speed is 20KB/s at best. If I use the Macbook Pro itself I can get up to 250KB/sec. I read that this seems to be common problem with Snow Leopard. Can someone shed some light on this?
Thanks

"... I read that this seems to be common problem with Snow Leopard..."
Can you shed some light on where you read this?

How do I connect my airport Express to the internet connection of my Macbook Pro without an ethernet cable?

I would like to use my Airport Express (802.11n) to provide audio in another room for a pair of powered speakers, however the iTunes remote software for Android requires (for some dumb reason) an internet connection so I can't control iTunes
So my computer is connected to a cabelmodem via ethernet and the Express has established a network connection with the computer
How do i give the Airport internet access without an ethernet cable?

To share your Internet connection from your laptop, select 'Sharing' in 'System Preferences' and enable 'Internet Sharing'.

You will need to set a WEP key. You may need to root the system do some things at the command line. I recommend against that.
Laptops don't work well as routers but it is possible.
Hook up the AirPort express to the laptop using an Ethernet cable and configure with the AirPort utility as if you are setting up a print server or base station. The Android should see the AirPort Express after that.

This might work better if you used the AirPort Express as a base station instead of trying to use the laptop as a base station. Then your Android would have Internet access.

HT201321 im having inconsistent internet connection on my macbook pro. But my other computers doesn't had this problem.do you guys had the same problem? after turning the wifi on and off, i'll have the connection again

Im having inconsistent internet connection with my macbookpro 13 inch. But if I turn off my wifi and turnit on again, it will come back again. Anyone had this problem?

Sig,
Thanks for the advice. I finally tried a solution after doing nothing. LoL. What I did do was change the channel the router was on from 9 to 7. I think I've done something like this in the past when I had slow internet and that worked out well too. I thought that would help and so far so good. Not an interruption so far but we shall see. To the guy or girl who expressed that they had the same problem as me I would try changing the channel of your router like I did. I will monitor the situation and see if it totally solved my problem or not and keep this thread updated. Thanks people

Internet connection problems with macbook pro

why does my mac book pro keep dropping the internet? When I go into diagnostics it says the ips, internet and server have failed but if I restart the computer it will connect again. i have spoken to my internet provider and replaced my router which seemed to temporarily fix the problem.

Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 2
Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
Step 4
Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
Step 5
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 6
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

Experiencing Slow Internet Connections with new Macbook Pro

I have had the laptop since December and I have had several problems regarding the internet. Just a little background, I have always had pretty fast internet and have never experienced any of these problems with any other computers. My family owns 2 other PC's(ew) and they don't have any problems with internet speed.
Examples:
-90% of the time my arrow will not change to the hand when something is clickable
-downloading songs takes forever, even when they are only 10 megabytes
-pages wont load even simple ones such as search engines
The overall feel of my connection is slow and the sites i use are the basic ones which dont require too many flashy things.
When I reset my modem the internet works better for a little bit but then goes back to its old ways.
If you guys could give me any tips on the preferences i should have please help

How are you connected to the internet?
How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?

How to use my iPhone 4 to select Internet radio stations on MacBook Pro

Okay, once again I return here to seek guidance and wisdom. Fellow members here told me about Air Video, a terrific set of programs for iOS and OS X to stream videos from my MacBook Pro to my iPhone 4. It is awesome!
Now, my other need (?). I want to run something on my Mac that lets me select Internet radio station streams like TuneIn for ex., but I want to be able to change selections on whatever is on the Mac from the iPhone 4. What I want to do is use the iPhone 4 as a remote for the app on the Mac which I want to connect to either some external speakers or someday to a real external Dac, amp, and speakers.
I have the TuneIn Pro app on my iPhone 4 already and on the Mac via browser have accessed their website.
Now someone surely is going to mention Airplay or something to stream from the iPhone4. From the cost of Airplay capable hardware, I just can't afford it yet. Maybe if I could find Bluetooth speaker or device?
One other thing to throw in for thought. I have not only iTunes on my MacBook Pro, but also Fidelia and Amarra, and thinking about Decibel or Audirvana. In other words somewhat hi-def music output quality available on the Mac. So....I do have a remote app for Fidelia and think there's one for either Decibel or Audirvana, so that brings me back to Internet radio on the MacBook Pro. If I can find a way to use the iPhone 4 to select an app on the Mac for Internet radio, I can play those plus hi-def music via one of those programs.
I probably didn't say all that right, but I hope you can decipher what I am asking about.
If nothing else, can you recommend inexpensive Bluetooth speakers to play radio from the iPhone4? I was hoping to buy some AudioEngine powered speakers for the Mac, hence the desire to run all sound/music through that device but using the iPhone4 as control device.

Hi Starbux48
First off. The benefits of using Amarra, Pure Music, Audirvana or whatever, can only be heard if you have a true audiophile system set-up. Think of systems starting from 5000 U$. Then only if your music files are high resolution. Think ALAC or FLAC, AIFF or Wave. For all other music playing the itunes set-up suffices. So the better idea for you will be playing the music over your macbook.
Mountain lion offers airplay for intel based macs. You can use this. If you install the free Remote App. on your iPhone, you can use that to control itunes on your Macbook via wifi/Airplay. The remote app offers you the view of itunes on your Macbook and the screen of your Macbook changes with what you do on your iPhone. So you can even control the itunes radiostation from your iPhone.
If you have an older, non-intel macbook, you can install airserver on your macbook. This will set you back 15 dollars or so, but will basically do the same.

My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?

My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?

Ah, sure it actually won't. I have the same problem, and I contacted Apple Support. They told me that there is an incompatability between the iphone 5 and MacBook Pro Retina such that Bluetooth pairing is not possible.
The Support Agent actually had the audacity to tell me this was part of the design of the OS on the MacBook Pro, like Windows people saying, "That's not a bug. It's a feature!!"
Personally, I think this is insane. While I was trying to tether the iphone to the MacBook Pro retina for an internet connection, there are other reasons related to file transfers for which one would want to pair the iphone 5 with the MacBook Pro retina.
I am hoping this "feature" is fixed in iOS 7, and/or in some dot release of Mac OS 10.8.
By the way, the personal hotspot feature on my Verizon iphone 5 works great either via a wifi or USB connection. There are occaisions, however, when one would 1) not have a USB cable, and/or 2) have another wifi relationship between the phone and a network that one would not want to have to "forget" in order for it not to connect to that wifi network. The Macbook will not find the iphone as a wifi hotspot if the iphone is connected to wifi in the first place. At least mine won't.
WWSJS??? What Would Steve Jobs Say???!!!

Connecting kurzweil sp88 to GB I want to connect my Kurzweil sp88 to GB. The Kurzweil has a baffling array of buttons and possible MIDI channels. It also has the old style MIDI plug ins. I've got the MIDI out connected to my MacBook Pro via USB adapter.

I have my Kurzweil connected to my MacBook Pro via an adapter (old style MIDI from Kurzweil to USB adapter connecting to Mac). The Kurzweil has a baffling array of buttons and possible MIDI channels. Can anyone please tell me which of the channels I should use? Also, should I leave the MIDI In cable out of the Kurzweil? Thanks for as detailed an answer as possible. If you like you can respond directly to me at [email protected]

First of all I do not own this keyboard. But a quick look at the manual (found on the internet) says that when first powered up the SP88 is in Internal Sounds mode. Meaning you hear the sounds selected when playing the keyboard. It also stated that the default Midi Transmit Channel is Midi Channel #1.
Looks like you would need to go to the SP88 Keyboard's MIDI SETUP and simply select LOCAL OFF. Now the keyboard should be ready to transmit Midi Out only and no internal sounds should be heard.
Next you may or may not need to do this but you might need to go into the Utilities Folder found in your Applications Folder on your Mac and double click AUDIO MIDI SETUP the keyboard Icon. Figure #1 below.
Next you need to make a physical connection from the Midi Out of the SP88 to the Midi In on your Midi Interface. Figure #3 below. You may need to Click on Add Device first. Figure #2 below.
In the examples shown below I have a Yamaha Electronic Drum Kit that is Midi Out only... not USB out. I had to plug a Midi cable from the Midi Out Port on the back of my Drum Module to the Midi In Port on the back of my Motu 828 Audio Inferface which is connected to my Mac. Next I created the Audio Interface and Drum Module "Devices" as mentioned above.
I then double clicked on the Drum Module and made my Midi Out Selections. Figure #4 Below. And once it was setup and the icons closed I used my mouse to draw a virtual cable connection from the Drum Module Out to the Audio Interface In. Figure #3 below. This is how I got my Midi Devices to talk to one another.
Once you have made your setup as I have outlined create a MIDI Instrument Track in Garageband, select an instrument for example a Piano then Record Enable that track in Garageband and see if you now hear what you are playing. In this example the SP88 is a Midi Controller only and you will only hear sounds selected in Garageband which is what you want.
Keep in midi your setup may be different than mine. You can keep your SP88 Keyboard on the default Midi Channel #1. That would be a good place to start. Garageband receives Midi on all channels.
