Hello HS87
Continue your troubleshooting with the article below and look at the section of Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly and that should have your answer on getting that sorted out for you.

Internet not Working on New Macbook Pro
I just got a new macbook pro. Whenever I open safari the page wont load and the beach ball of terror comes up and I have to force quit. I have ethernet access and it says it's connected but none of the internet features are working. I tried to connect through wifi and that isn't working either. Help?
You don't have a virus. That isn't an issue for Macs.
There are a whole bunch of reasons why you're not connected to the internet through your router. We'll need more info about your router and MacBook Pro. It's impossible to guess as to your issue without more info. -

My left arrow does not work on my macbook pro(model A1226).
I have reset nvram, performed a safe boot, pulled the cache to desktop, replaced .globalpreference.plist, & tested all other keys with "keyboard viewer" (all other keys work except for the arrow).
In addition, I have gone thru all the recommended checks with universal access and have booted from snow leopard dvd and the left arrow still does not work.
I have tried using the left arrow key in all of applications I use such as: excel, ms word, address book, calendar, iphoto, terminal, & highlighting an icon and using the arrows to move to another selected icon.
Here is the kicker! In addition, I purchased a logitech solar bluetooth keyboard and the arrows work fine with my ipad but do not work when paired with the macbook pro. All other keys work fine on the macbook pro using the bluetooth keyboard.
I believe this says that the problem is not in my macbook pro keyboard. So where can it be?
Can anyone think of any other rabbit holes I can search?
thanks and regards
vats3I would also like to add that I've reverted the two cd drive and hard drive mods I did and the laptop is back to factory hardware and there is 0 corrosion or mold visible.

Facebook and Hotmail will not work on my Macbook pro
Facebook and Hotmail will not work on my Macbook pro. I have tried safari and firefox. I have unloaded and reloaded an old version of firefox and still no luck. When go to ebay it opens but looks very weird. I am using Mac OS X Version 10.6.6 with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I am so frustrated, I have tried everything I can think of and still no luck.
Good of you to offer the detail you did (a lot of people don't bother) but it still is not quite enough. Texting that it "looks very weird" just leaves me blank. Most basic remedy for browser issues is to use Safari to google "adobe flash" and download a fresh file & install. Can't think of anything else given what you've posted....

My iSight is not working on my Macbook Pro. What are the possible problems and solutions?
Hello Douglas,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the built-in iSight camera on your MacBook Pro. I recommend the following steps for this issue:
Important: Follow these instructions in order. Test the camera between steps to see if the issue is resolved.
Built-in iSight cameras
These steps are for iSight cameras that are built into a computer, such as the iMac G5 (iSight) or later, the MacBook, or MacBook Pro.
See if the issue is application-specific.
Try another application (iSight works with applications like iChat, PhotoBooth, and iMovie HD 6) to see if the iSight camera exhibits the same behavior in all applications. If it only happens in one application, try reinstalling that application.
See if the issue is user-specific.
Test your iSight camera in another user account. If the issue only occurs in one user, the issue would be isolated to user settings.
Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
Check System Profiler (in the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). Under the USB header, check to see if the iSight camera is detected.
Reset SMC or PMU
Reset your computer's SMC or PMU, and then check System Profiler again. (SMC reset instructions for iMac G5 (iSight), Intel-based iMacs; PMU reset instructions for MacBook and MacBook Pro.)
If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

My appstore app is not working on my macbook pro?
my appstore app is not working on my macbook pro? It simply shows a piece of paper with a pencil, ruler and paint brush.
Hi...
Delete the app and all the associated files using this utility > Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
Then re download the app. You won't be charged again.
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
If you continue to have problems with the app you can report it to Apple here > Apple - Support - Mac App Store - Contact Support
And go to the app at the App Store. You should see a link to the app developer's site for support. -
Icloud is not working on my macbook pro
icloud is not working on my macbook pro and works on both my ipad and my iphone. Not sure why this is, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
Yes it has been turned on in system preferences. I've even signed out & signed back in to trouble shoot & the problem still exists. The problem is — while browsing in Safari, I'll hit the iCloud tab on my MacBook Pro & it will be blank, showing nothing opened on the other devices. Then I'll check the other device sitting next to me & they have web pages opened & their iCloud works. Not sure what is wrong, prob need to call Apple...

Certain keys not working on my Macbook Pro
recently the return, right shift and backslash-question mark key do not work on my macbook pro. I don't believe there was any damage from spills or other physical reasons. I took off the key cover and cleaned it with air but it didn't help. Does anyone know if there is a solution to fix this or is just something I will have to take in for repair.

LR 5 not working on new Macbook Pro.
LR 5 not working on new Macbook Pro. Have tried 2 CC downloads, 5.6 licensed download and 5.5 licensed download, all result in the same thing. It comes up with basic screen but no panels and gives an error occurred when changing modules. Nothing I've tried seems to help. It also has says "get started with lightroom mobile at top left although it says it is Lr 5.6. Anybody else having problems? Calls to adobe result in no help and have to wait till Monday for some technical support. Surely this should run on a NEW laptop with no other software installed!!!
Install logs were fine. Application installed but wouldn't run properly. Finally got Adobe support and it turns out to be a file permissions error. Had to add both applications and myself as accessors of Lightroom folder under path ~/Library/Adobe/ and set permissions to read & write (was read only for everything but system) and apply to all enclosed folders. Runs fine now. Including this here in case anyone else runs across this issue.

YOUTUBE NOT WORKING ON NEW MACBOOK PRO
YOUTUBE NOT WORKING ON NEW MACBOOK PRO
Every time I want to see videos from youtube the video player just says "your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available".
Please help I have everything possible up to date.
Thanks!It appears as if only some videos on YouTube will play using HTML5 and without Flash. For example, this video plays just fine for me and I do not have flash installed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxEWddT44BY
So, unfortunately, you will have to install flash or wait for YouTube to fix their website.
Also, one thing to try: When I had Flash installed and the "ClickToPlugin" Safari extension installed, YouTube would load all the movies in a simple HTML5 format. So no annotations or any other annoying stuff. Might be worth trying. You will have to install flash but, with the "ClickToPlugin" extension, you don't have to use Flash. -
FaceTime not working on my Macbook Pro. I am able to sign in successfully and add contacts. When I try to call a contact with an iPhone, it says connecting then fails by ending automatically. When someone try to FaceTime me,I accept but it says connecting then fail. I only have a MacBook Pro to FaceTime and not an iPhone. I was informed that I should be able to FaceTime from my laptop via video call without an iPhone.
Please advise.Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
1. The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac" is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
2. Connect to a different network, such as a public Wi-Fi hotspot, and try again. -
List of 3rd party hdds/ssds that do/do not work in the MacBook Pro
Hi everyone,
so after following the discussion(s) regarding the problems with hdds in the MacBook Pros after the firmware update I decided to start this thread with the hope that we can create a list of hdds/sdds that do or do not work in the MacBook Pros.
So here's my contribution (and a little convention for the posts):
model: MacBook Pro (Mid 2009) 2.8 GHz
firmware: EFI 1.7
drive: OCZ 128GB SSD with firmware 1.30
result: did not work
I could not partition/format the drive using the disk utility during the Mac OS X installation process. I managed to get the drive partitioned and formated using a SATA to USB cable from within Mac OS X and the original hard drive installed. In the end I wasn't able to install Mac OS X on it though (installer hang and gave an unknown error). So I returned the drive and got a refund.
PS: The drive worked fine in my PC so it may be a MacBook Pro SATA-controller related issue.
Please note beachball phenomenon in your posts as well.
Cheers,
roofkidHi,
the superior ssd from corsair (cmfssd-256gbg2d) is unusable in a late 2008 macbookpro (5,1).
mcp79 is such a crappy chipset. i hope apple drops nvidia for the nextgen mbp.
