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.

  • 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?

  • 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).

    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    This, Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.70, is the current version of Flash. It should work with Snow Leopard or later.

  • Does 'Network Connect' work with MacBook Pro?

    My safari unexpectedly quits when attempting to log into my company's VPN.
    - I log into our VPN website and the connection begins to initialize
    - with my MacBook, Safari (2.0.3) unexpectedly quits
    - with my PowerBook, 'Network Connect' automatically starts and the VPN connection completes without any problem
    Does 'Network Connect' work with MacBook Pro? Any ideas?

    Resolved. MacBook Pro was having trouble dowloading the 'Network Connect' application when I logged into my VPN client for the first time. I copied it from my PowerBook G4 over to the appropriate folder and it now works perfectly.

  • Connection issues with MacBook Pro and DVI to component video

    How do I connect a 2007 macbook pro to a regular tv (non-hd) via the DVI port with component cables? The image is always scrambled. The connections are fine, what do I need to do?

    Concerning this comment:
    I know that neither the adapter nor the VGA cable have a problem since I connected the computer to my 1080p TV and it worked just fine...
    I would like to point out that 1080p has a lower pixel clock than will 1920 x 1200. So it could be the stability problem is only present when the pixel clock is at the high end of the range.
    You could return the adapter and try another. A new one might have better margins. Another thing you could try is to use a utility like SwitchResX to lower the pixel clock and see if stability improves.

  • Interne connection problem with Macbook

    I have a new 13 inch white macbook . It keeps on disconnecting with the internet . My PC laptops dont have this problem . I am using AT&T Gateway wireless modem . The macbook would show no connection and then after the diagnostics are run and the browser is closed and re-opened it connects with the internet, it is annoying . I am using safari and firefox both . The problem is more with online banks and online apparel stores not with yahoo or google.Seems the browsers are not compatible with these websites.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Yes, there are a few sites that are not 100% compatible with Safari OR Firefox, and work ONLY with Internet Explorer. Do the help files or instructions for your troublesome bank or merchant website(s) specify what browser(s) version(s) and operating systems they support?
    Airport (wireless internet connection) problems to your network and/or wireless router are different, and 99.9% of the time, not related to browser compatibility issues.
    Unpredictably connecting or disconnecting from a wireless router is a wireless networking problem, not a browser compatibility issue.
    *Wireless troubleshooting:*
    Can you also connect to your Mac directly to your AT&T wireless router with an Ethernet cable?
    That will help you diagnose what are connectivity/network issues, versus what are browser compatibility issues. If your browser(s) work fine with the troublesome sites when directly connected by wire, then you're NOT having browser compatibility issues. Macs are picky about wireless connections. My original inexpensive 'b/g' wireless router worked fine with my older Windows XP computer and Nintendo Wii, but my MacBook kept dropping the signal every 10 minutes or so. I upgraded to a famous brand 'n' wireless router, and my problems disappeared.
    *Browser Compatibility Troubleshooting*
    Indications of browser incompatibility are:
    Fonts that don't display correctly, such as overlapping or missing letters or words.
    Wrong colors or colors that obscure some parts of the screen.
    Text that displays line by line at the left margin, over colored backgrounds, instead of as a web page.
    Screen display design elements are wrong, such as a color box that seems too large or small for the text displayed on it.
    Some or all of the 'button' elements of the website do not respond to pointing the cursor and clicking, even after refreshing the screen, and the only solution is to closing the browser.
    Look carefully at the Status Bar at the bottom of the browser so see if it displays an Errors count. (Then choose Window, Activity, to see what errors are occurring.)
    If you MUST have 100% Internet Explorer compatibility on your Mac, you can always purchase Windows and IE and install it under Bootcamp, Parallels, VMWare Fusion or similar programs.
    Let me know what you discover.

  • Internet connection problems with OSX 10.10.3

    Does anyone else have very bad Internet connection problems after downloading OSX 10.101.3?  Does anyone have a solution? P.S. What do you think of PHOTOS, after Aperture?

    1, No problems here with internet on 10.10.3
    2, No solution
    3, I think that Photos is a toy. Apple has basically neutered both Aperture and iPhotos with their efforts to make their desktop solution match the iOS solution.
    I am currently looking for a non-Apple solution for my photographic needs since Photos in no way shape or form is able to fill my needs.

  • Internet connection problem with MacPro, only. PC fine

    I have a Netgear 600n.  My notebooks, Vista PC and MacPro, are connected to it.  There is no connection problem with the PC, but there is with the MacPro.  Weekly, I have to delete the "system configuration file," or it keeps dropping the connection.  I heard it had to do with Windows configuring the netgear router.  is this true and is there a solution.  I use the PC and the Mac at the same desk, so there is no location issue.
    Thanks!!

    Some operators block the option to use your phone as a modem, as this will use up a lot of data. It might be worth checking your contract to see if it mentions anything about data use, or give your operator a call to see if they have any limitations.
    Please try to use the phone with a different SIM card to see if this is related to your operator after all, or if it's something else. If it doesn't work with a different SIM card either, try the following to see if the issue lies in Nokia Suite or in the phone itself: 
    Install Nokia Suite on a different computer or laptop and check if you can use your phone as a modem on that computer. If this works, try reinstalling Nokia Suite on your current computer and see if this makes a difference. 
    If this doesn't work, try connecting a different Nokia device to Nokia Suite and try to use it as a modem. If you can connect a different phone with your SIM card to the modem but connecting with yout 6700 Classic fails,  then please visit a local care centre where your phone can be checked on any errors. 
    You can find a care centre by going to your local Nokia web page and clicking on Support. 
    If my post has helped you in any way, please accept it as a solution or click on the white star, so that other users will be able to benefit from it too.

  • Problems with Macbook pro Wifi connection

    I purchased a new Macbook Pro 13.3 - and am having problems with disrupted connection of my Wifi - I experienced the issues after I deauthorized all of my computers (because I was at my limit).  when I reauthorized my new Macbook, I keep getting kicked off the Wifi (all other computers,ipods, iphones in teh house have no issues with wifi connection). Is there something that I need to re-establish so that the wifi doesn't keep turning off?

    Try deleting the wifi connection in System Preferences, then recreating it.

  • 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 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.
