  • Connection failures between iMac and Macbook Pro

    I'm experiencing frequent connection failures over my wi-fi network between my iMac and Macbook Pro on an otherwise strong, stable network. I can connect both of my computers to the Airport Time Capsule that I use as my wireless router without a problem, but for some reason I get connection failures between the computers say, 50% of the time. Sometimes it works fine, others it just hangs before giving me an error message. Any suggestions?
    OS 10.9.3 on both machines
    Apple Airport Extreme Time Capsule
    iMac, 3.06GHz i3 (2010)
    Macbook Pro Retina, 2.4 GHz i7 (1st Gen)

    Hi jt in nyc,
    Some checks:
    Use Airport Utility on one of the machines
    - Click on the Time Capsule ( enter password if prompted )
    - Click on the Edit button
    Under Airport Utility -> Wireless -> Wireless Options
    Are the Time Capsule Wireless options set correctly?
    - Country -> you know this, change if it is not
    - 2.4GHz and 5GHz Channel set to Automatic
    - Click on Cancel button to return to the Airport Utility graphic diagram.
    - Click on the Time Capsule
    - Click on your machines listed beside wireless clients
    Are the machines reporting an excellent quality at different distances from the Time Machine?

  • My w2207h HP Monitor is not working on my macbook pro with hdmi minidisplayport adapter. On Windows 7 via bootcamp it works. What can i do ?

    As is said my HP w2207h monitor is not working with a minidisplayport to hdmi adapter and a hdmi cable which is working fine for my PS3. So the cable is not the problem. And on my TV i also have no problems at all activating a second monitor. Therefore the adapter isnt the problem either. When i plug it in the typical bluescreen appears. Then after a few seconds it appears again and there is no second monitor recognized. I also used the "recognize Monitor" button without success. Please help me, are there any special drivers or something like that ?
    PS: bought a high end expensive adapter now because the old one was very cheap. But didnt help. Still stuck on the macbook not recognizing anything !

    If you have an external drive you can hook up to the MacBook Pro I believe there *may* be a solution by getting an image to the MacBook Air.
    On the MacBook Pro with the Windows install disk in the DVD drive fire up disk utility.  Select the DVD and then hit the "New Image" button.  Disk Utility should offer to create a disk image from the DVD.  I would put that disk image on a USB drive connected to the Pro.  You should be able to mount that image when you connect up to the Air.  Hopefully BootCamp will be able to access that all through the process.
    If that doesn't work (the drivers don't recognize the disk image once Windows gets underway for its install), you might try copying the installation files from the DVD to FAT32 formatted USB stick or drive and then using that to install Windows.  I would expect Windows would be able to see the USB FAT32 drive and I don't believe any file on the drive is going to go beyond 4GB. 
    I haven't actually tried BootCamp on the Air, since I just use VMWare which has no issue installing from anything OSX can see.  But BootCamp is going to eventually hand off operations to Windows and that's going to complicate matters--Windows has to be able to see the drive.  While I believe there are drivers that let Windows connect to that drive, there's no way to authenticate (or even load the drivers I expect) before Windows itself is loaded--so it's a "chicken/egg" problem.

  • Files disappearing iMac and MacBook Pro with iCloud

    Just converted to Apple one month ago buying iMac and MacBook Pro.
    iMac at office, MacBook at home.
    My documents are mostly texts with Microsoft Word and numbers with Microsoft Excel.
    I am using the new beta preview Word and Excel.
    I copied everything (15 Go) to iCloud.
    Not only the files don't synchronize between computers, they disappear.

    You'll have to give yourself permission to the files. Do a +Get Info+ via the Finder, click the padlock at the lower right, and enter your Admin password.
    Then click the plus sign at the bottom, and select your user account. That will give you Read rights. Click the arrows in front of +Read Only+ and select +Read & Write.+
    If they're all in a folder, do this on the folder, then click the "gear" icon and select +Apply to enclosed items.+ That may take a while if there are a lot of files.

  • IMac or MacBook Pro with retina?

    I am having a crisis. I purchased both an iMac (2.7GHz/1TB/8GB) and a base 13" MacBook Pro with retina display. I purchased both with the intention of weighing out which one is best for me and returning the other. Both have great things about them in my eyes. I adore the big, bright screen of the iMac, along with the extra storage space and extra RAM (should I ever need it). I love the clarity of the retina display on the MacBook Pro, along with the portability and great battery life. I own an iPad, which will suffice for 85% of my mobile computing needs. On top of all of it, the iMac is going to be about $200 more expensive because of the sale I got on the MacBook Pro. Any and all recommendations will be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your time!

    How important are the other 15% of your mobile computing needs?  The main point of decision is generally need for portability or what you use it for (for example, a professional photographer or graphic designer would prefer the larger screen of the iMac), someone who uses a computer for casual use can easily use the base model MacBook Pro.

  • FaceTime not working on 17" macbook pro with Snow Leopard

    I have a 17" macbook pro from around 2008 (2.4 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM) that will not connect using FaceTime.  I tried to call my daughter on her iPod Touch 4G and the call says "Connecting" it rings on both ends, but then my picture freezes and it never completes the connection, just hangs up and says "Call failed". She can facetime her friends with other iPods just fine, so I think the problem is with my mac. I also tried calling to another mac that has facetime working fine, but I could not connect to that one either. Same result...ringing, connecting, screen freeze, drop call, no connection.  I've seen others with this problem on google, but their suggestions have not fixed the problem either.  I even tried deleting facetime and then downloading it again from app store and still same result.  I am able to use skype perfectly fine with this macbook pro, so I don't see it as a camera problem.

    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.

  • Can I connect my MacBook Pro (with Bluetooth 2.1) to a Bose Sounddock 10

    I own a 17 inch MacBook Pro (bought summer 2009) and am interested in buying a new Bose SoundDock 10 with the Bluetooth adapter. Before investing $750 in this sound system, I would like to learn if I can simply pair and connect the MacBook Pro and SoundDock 10 via Bluetooth and play my music from the MacBook Pro thru the SoundDock (such as iTunes and Pandora). I know I can do this from my Driod to the SoundDock. Thank you!

    I just purchased the 10 and love it. I don't have the Bluetooth adapter, it was not available when I made my purchase. I was also wondering if my MBP would connect. I can see no reason why the two would not pair.

  • Connecting Canon HV30 to New Macbook pro with firewire 800

    I just received new Macbook pro 2.8 that only has 9 pin firewire 800 connectivity. My previous IMac accepted my Canon HV30 HD video through 4-6 pin firewire 400 with ease, the new laptop will receive the video through 4-9 pin cable but the video color is severely distorted and unusable. Is there a problem with firewire 400 to 800 transfer compatibility?

    Yeah, FW400 is compatible with FW800. Only need to find the conversion cable with the correct connectors.Try getting that first and connecting the two, to see if the Mac recognizes it and enables capture. Else visit the camera maker's site to check if they are providing Mac-specific software.

  • All iPhones constantly connecting and disconnecting from 2014 MacBook Pro with retina display

    So I have an iPhone 6, 4s, and 3gs, whenever I plug any of them into my MacBook pro they rapidly connect and disconnect. After about 20 seconds of doing this they trackpad and keyboard stop responding and won't be recognized until I restart the laptop.
    Just as more information I have used 5 or 6 different cables and it works fine with my LG G3 and every other usb device I use. I have iTunes updated to 12.0.1 and OSX updated to 10.10, and this has been happening for about 2 months or so. My iPhone 6 is running 8.1 but did this before, although with the first sync when I first got the phone it worked fine.
    Any information would be helpful
    Thank you

    I'm having the exact same issue with the new 2014 iMac 5K Retina i5. iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s both work flawlessly.

  • Should I purchase an iMac or Macbook Pro with Retina display?

    I'm off to uni is September to study Design and Im going to be running lots of Photoshop and CAD design software so Im gonn aneed a Mac up to scratch for that. I've been looking at the iMac and the rMBP for this. Has anyone got any ideas of which one would be more suitable?

    You are welcome, Will.
    I have an iMac and MBP and eally am happy with both...run large FORTRAN codes on both with great success.
    My daughter is the senior Art Director (graphic design degree) at an ad agency in NYC.  She has the MBP at home with the high-res screen (15"), and a fully loaded 27" iMac in her office with a 30" Apple cinema display attached, almost 5' of display.  Is very successful using both machines for heavy-duty graphics work.  The larger iMac just means it is much easier having multiple applications open, multiple windows, side-by-side instead of using the maximize/minimize process.  So, both are workable, but one is more convenient than the other.
    Go to an Apple store or reseller and spend an afternoon with both machines you are interested in and get a goof feel for them and the image quality.
    Good luck making a decision.

  • Pairing iphone 6 and macbook pro with bluetooth

    I have an iPhone 6 and a new MacBook Pro Retina and cannot pair my device with BlueTooth. I do have handoff working so I know they are communicating.
    Why can't I use blueTooth to move files from one device to another?

    Use airdrop to transfer files. Bluetooth is only for tethering your phone.
    Hope this helps.

  • Help Help..Can not back up my Macbook Pro with Time Machine

    I have Mac Book Pro Mac OS X version 10.6.8 and Time capsule 802.11n (3rd generation), I used to do back up wirelessly but then it stopped. so i connected it directly to laptop, it did not work. so i did reset on Time Capsule/Machine and didnt work. Show error 1) Time Machine could not comple Back Up (The back disk image "/volume/data/macintosh.sparsebundle"could not be created (error 1) and then different time i tried got different error 2) Time Machine Could Not Complete (the back disk image "/volume/data/macintosh.sparsebundle"couldnot be created (error 60)..please advise

    The TC drive is network and will never show up in disk utility.
    You can mount the sparse bundle into the utility and do a check on it.. but that serves little purpose.
    I used to do back up wirelessly but then it stopped. so i connected it directly to laptop,
    It is highly likely the setup is wrong.
    Please do a full factory reset of the TC.
    The Factory Reset TC Gen1-4. Or AE Gen1-5
    Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec.
    Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    Redo the setup using the airport utility. For older OS and TC you can do this by ethernet with wireless turned off if you like.
    Tell us the main modem router and how the TC was originally setup.. if it was in bridge mode.. then put the TC back in bridge and plug it into the router.
    If there are issues they will show up in the airport utility. Please list any issues it has.

  • My Keynote does not work on my MacBook Pro with OsX Mavericks. It opens though, but then is stuck, menu does not react. What to do?

    I have Keynote 6.1 and run it on a MacBookPro with OsX Mavericks. I can start Keynote, but I cant access the menu, it is stuck. What to do?

    Try this repair for Keynote 6.2,  ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
    1  delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application
    2  restart the Mac;   Apple menu > restart
    3  immediately after the start chime,  press the shift key until you see the Apple symbol.
             let it fully boot up,  it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
    4  when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive  then First Aid tab and      click  repair disc permissions
    5  when complete, restart the Mac normally
    6  install Keynote from the Mac App Store, it will be updated to the latest verion which is 6.2
    let us know if this helped.
