Mac Book Pro Airport Spotty

Having a prob with my Mac Book Pro. The airport connection seems intermittent.
It will see the wireless router (ATT based). It has the password and should connect but does not.
However the Powerbook g4 (work comp) right next to it has NO problems connecting.
So that pretty much eliminates the router as the prob. I wont be able to connect with MBP then on restart it connects, then it will lose it signal.
Are there known issues with the MBP, that I should be aware of?
thanks.

Found this on another mac forum and it worked for me..
Okay, after much trial and continued errors I got this working properly.
Following is what DID NOT WORK
Re-Applying 10.5.2 combo updater
Archive and install of Leopard
Reset PRAM
Reset Open Firmware
This is what finally WORKED for me.
Go into System Preferences>Network
Delete (use the minus sign at the bottom of the list) all of the network services except for Firewire. (it won't let you delete all of them)
Add the network services back (plus sign), starting with AirPort.
As soon as I added AirPort, the menu bar icon started working and detected the network with no problems.

Mac book pro airport extreme 64 bit

I have a mac book pro 17" 2.8 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo (first unibody 5,2) running 10.6.7.
When I boot in 32 bit mode I can connect to my airport extreme (firmware 7.5.2) just fine.
When I boot in 64 bit mode, I cannot connect.
When I boot into either 32 bit or 64 bit mode I can connect to a linksys router (WRT54G).
Before the 10.6.7 update I could connect to the airport extreme just fine.
Any ideas?

If you open airport utility it will tell you why your
light wont go green. If you let us know we can
progress the matter for you.
thanks, was using wrong utility, first one here seems to be for old airport extreme,
/Applications/Utilities/AirPort Admin Utility.app
this one seems to have done the job nicely,
/Applications/Utilities/AirPort Utility.app
much appreciated, may be back if i can't get express and mac book all talkin' ......

Do I need airport to connect my new Mac Book Pro to a wireless printer?

Do I need Airport to connect a wireless printer to my new Mac Book Pro?

No and you don't have to use the wireless card in your MBP either.
A wireless printer connects to your wireless router. Any other device (computer) that is connected to the router either by wire or wireless will be able to use the printer.

I just bought a mac book pro and airport time capsule. Which one should I turn on first to get it going. We do have an existing router and old PC in the house.

Hi
I just brought home a mac book pro 13" with retina and the airport time capsule . What one should I turn on/ hook up first? We have an existing router in the home and an old PC.
Suggestions?

Turn off you cable/DSL modem, your computer, and the old router. Disconnect the computer's Ethernet cable from the old router. Replace the old router with the Time Capsule. Connect the Ethernet cable from the modem to the WAN port on the Time Capsule. Connect the computer's Ethernet port to one of the LAN ports on the Time Capsule using an Ethernet cable.
Turn on the modem and wait until the status lights indicate connection with the ISP. Turn on the Time Capsule and wait for the amber light to begin flashing. Open Airport Utility in your Utilities folder to configure the Time Capsule.
If a user guide came with the Time Capsule I suggest you follow it's instructions.

Mac Book Pro 17" 2006 version won't pick wireless signal with Airport update 7.5.2 and later.

My 2006 old 17" Mac Book pro is won't connect to Airport Extreme older version with update 7.5.2 and also with 7.6.2. In fact if I implement that update airport extreme will transmit over channel 100 which my Mac pro is unable to pick. Any advise ?
Thanks.

Thanks "a brody" ! Now I know I am talking to someone who knows the problem; I have checked with the site you advised me and I can tell you that my 17"MacBokk Pro (I am sorry for the mistake on first message) is one of them; in fact I have purchased that Airport Extreme 802.11n Enabler. However I forgot to tell you that my Airport Extreme base is transmitting at 5Ghz with the n protocol and my MacBook Pro has been working very well utill I tryed to update the Airport base to that 7.5.2 version: at that point my MacBook has never been able to pick the signal any more unless going backward to 7.4.2. In doing some experiments, I have found that with version 7.4.2, my Mac was picking the 5Ghz signal at channel # 44, instead, with the update 7.5.2 and later, the base started to transmit to channel # 100 and it looks like my MacBook is unable to go over the 44 channel ! (one more thing: my Mac has Leopard 10.5.8 OS). I have tryed to change the channel in the Airport base back to # 44, but my model (my Airport Extreme base is not the last model) do not allow to change the channel selection to "manual": there is only one selection "automatic". This is why I tryed to see if my Airport Extreme card (Wireless card firmware version 1.4.16.2) was not fit to received and transmit data on channels over 44.
If you have any idea that will be greatly appreciated; any how thank you very much for your time and help.

IPad finds Airport Express network - Laptop Mac Book Pro won't

Hi
This never happened before.
My Airport Express base is plugged directly to the internet box from Optimum.
My Ipad finds the Airport extreme's device and network. I surf online. No Pb.
The Mac Book Pro simply can't find it, doesn't list it on available networks/
I tried the Airport Utility application. The app. can't find my Airport Base.
...... Head scratching ....
Thnaks for your help

I tried out many things, reset the airport base, found it with Airport Utility App with internet cord, renamed and set on open network .... as soon as i unplug the ethernet cord in between airport express and macbookpro, it is invisible again. Airport from laptop can't find it, it is not visible. It is though for the iPad and i surf with ease using the Airport Express ...
Firmware v.6.3 is installed on AP Express ....

Mid 2010 mac book pro crashing too many times!!!

HELP! I'm basically fed up with my mac book pro crashing so many times in a day. I'm not doing anything tedious, just basic web surfing and music and some microsoft word/excel. I've read that someone recommended to run EtreCheck and paste the result here so anyone that knows how to read them can help me figure out what's happening!
Problem description:
My Mac book pro have been crashing lately. I’ve max out my RAM to 8gb. And the frequency seems to increased to few times in a day. I’ve uninstalled a software that I suspect to be causing the problem but it didn’t help.

My Mac Book Pro (2010 - Snow Leopard) won't boot, or boot from safe mode.

Hi, a bit of back ground knowledge bout the situation first, I was visiting home to see my family for two weeks in the UK, as i am currently on an internship in Dubai.
A few days ago (one day before i flew back to Dubai from the UK - Thursday 10/07/2014) I noticed out of the blue that my Mac book Pro (i believe early/mid 2010 model) suddenly started running extremely slow. (prior to this I had be using it fine, using an array of programs like Safari & Photoshop that i know usually slows down the Mac, but unlike what I would usually experience, this was pretty much a complete freeze for 5 minutes at a time every time i tried moving my mouse/closing a program or even clicking on something. I decided I would close everything and give the computer a rest. This took a long long time, I had to force quit many of the programs open, then once going to the drop down menu to shut down the laptop it wouldn't shut down. So after a long time of waiting to shut down I decided to force it to shut down by holding down the power button.
I left it for the evening, and then decided to turn on the laptop so it was 'on and working' for my flight back to Dubai as there had been 'stricter airport measures introduced in the UK for flights abroad' and there was a rumor that you had to prove that all electrical devices can be turned on when and if asked by airport security. after a long time it finally turned on and loaded the home screen, it had a long period on the grey apple screen with the turning gear. However still when turned on the problem of being extremely slow - freezing for 5 minutes every time i would click a program or something on the mac, like the drop down menu with the shut down option for example - still persisted. As I had to fly home the next morning (Friday 11/07/2014) I just closed the laptop lid like i had down thousands of times before over the past 3-4 years, packed it in my hand luggage and and went to bed. I flew back to Dubai.
Over the next few days (Saturday 11/07/2014 - Monday 14/07/2014) I used the laptop sparingly a it was super slow, but i did manage to watch the second half of the world cup runners up match between Holland & Brasil. I then went on to attempt to use the safari the on the Monday night, but it was too slow to really do anything, e.g. i couldn't even really look at the BBC website as it was too painfully slow!
This is when I decided to look up why it may be working so slow via my iphone.
So I shut it down,
I looked on forums and support ages and first thing they recommended was a 'safe mode boot up', so I decided to boot up in safe mode. This is where the problem seems to worsen. The Mac book pro would turn on to the grey apple screen and the progress bar appears, it begins to fill up but then reaches perhaps 20-30% then suddenly the laptops fan seems to go into over drive, making lots of noise when before this moment as it tried to boot up it was silent, then it just turns off.
I decided to retry booting up without holding down shift (safe boot mode), but it returns to the grey apple screen with the progress bar again, as if it was in safe mode even though I had held down shift. The same problem happens, its silent as the bar fills until abut 20-30% then it seems to 'overheat' and then turn off again.
I tried to boot it up again and again, both 'normally' without holding down shift, and 'safe mode', but the same issue arises.
So i turned to the forums and help pages again, and there was a mention of a PRAM reset. So i tried booting it up this time but holding down 'CMD + ALT + P + R' on the moment of the first chime, then as normal with a PRAM reset it chimed twice more before I let go of the keyboard. The progress bar again appeared on the grey start up apple page, and this time reached roughly the same 20-30% mark, but without overheating or making a fan noise, it then seemed to restart the progress bar a second time. This time as it reached the 20-30% it would again over heat and then instantly turn off.
I then decided to do a Hardware test. So i turned on the power and held down 'D', this successfully brought up the Hardware testing window, I did a regular test and within a few minutes it said there was no hard ware issue. Not convinced i decided to do an detailed/advanced hardware test which took alot longer. This time after a few minutes it started to make fan noises and 'overheating noises' however completed the hardware test and again said there was no hardware problems. I opted for the 'shut down' option on the screen instead of 'restart'.
I then decided to try and boot it up normally again, and the progress bar appears on the grey apple start up screen, it again reaches 20-30% then turns off.
I've exhausted my knowledge of what to do, and all the forums seem not to give the answer i'm looking for. It sees like no one has had the EXACT same problem i'm experiencing. Also being in Dubai for a further 7 weeks, I can't take the Mac book pro to an apple store, and I do not have any of the install DVD discs ect with me to try booting from DVD disc install.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me on what I could try next? I'd be hugely grateful! Please reply below or email me.

Mac Book Pro Wifi Data Locked up/freezes.

Hello, i have had this problem now for about 3 months. I have tried to search for the issue but i may be missing some key terms so if this is a known topic or somone can provide a link to a solution i would love it.
So i primarly use my MBP on wifi in the home, i have an ipad on wifi, pc laptop on wifi and a hardwired TV. Sometimes while on the computer all of a sudden i will stop getting data from the internet, usualy i notice because a webpage loads about half way or does not load at all then i get the thinking wheel in the web browser. If i turn off the wifi card, wait about 15 seconds then turn it back on it always comes right back on and away i go.
For some details It is a Mac Book Pro 8,2 16gig ram, OS10.6.8 all security and software is up to date. I recently put a new hard drive in the machine and use the migration assistant to transfer everything across from the old one but with a fresh install of the OS. The problem existed before and after the HDD swap. I use Chrome as the primary browser, but it is not application spesfic, mail and safari both loose the network data as well. I do not have a lot of large downloads, 90% of my network use is e-mail, and web no bit torrents or streaming on this computer. Finaly to see if it was the router while the laptop is locked up the other devices on wifi and hard lined all still work fine. Also according to the laptop i still have 100% wireless strength and connection, i dont have any other wifi networks so i can not try to switch to another one, the only fix i have found is to click "turn airport off" wait a second, then back on. Also time does not seem to be a part of it, i can have the machine running all day for several days no issues, then it goes down, or i just open it up and in an hr it locks.
To me i hate to hear that it is a bad network card in the computer, but if anyone knows if there is maybe a setting or somthing i can reset on the network card that may be setting me up on a "timed lease" of my ip address, thanks for the help.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Boot from your original install DVD and run Repair Disc and Repair Permissions, this might then allow you to Boot as normal and have all your data intact.
If not then you need to re-install the OS from that same DVD but select 'Archive Install' and it will preserve your User data and Applications.

I want to take files from my PC (using a Seagate external hard drive) then plug this Seagate External hard drive into my Mac Book Pro and move the files from the Seagate External Hard drive onto my Time Capsule. I do not want to put these files on my Mac

I want to take files from my PC (using a Seagate external hard drive) then plug this Seagate External hard drive into my Mac Book Pro and move the files from the Seagate External Hard drive onto my Time Capsule. I do not want to put these files on my Mac. How do I do this? Where do I put these files on my Time Capsule? Will it affect the functioning of my Time Capsule?

Mixing files with data is not always great idea.
See info here.
Q3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
Why not just connect the PC directly to the TC by ethernet and copy the files over?
It is hugely faster and much less mucking around.
In windows load the airport utility for windows.. if you have not already as this will help you access the drive.
There is more info here.

Using itunes with mac book pro and mac mini

Hello
I have had a Mac book pro with all my music on external hard drive, and running to my through my network of 1 apple TV, 2 airport expresses. Working great.
Now I have got an old Mac Mini and hooked up the external hard drive that has all my music on it and hook it up to my network. I want to use the Mac Mini as a Music Server. The music plays on the mac mini not the Apple TV or the airport expresses.
I think it's something small but any help whould be great.
Thanks

Dreamweaver CS6 is not retina ready. Dreamweaver CS6 Cloud I believe was patched at 12.1 for this. However, I do not believe Adobe sees this as a patch but rather as a new feature thus if you are using Dreamweaver CS6 you will not get this release until Dreamweaver CS6.5 or CS7.

Trouble sharing Music and Photos on new Mac Book Pro

I am loving my new Mac Book Pro. Front Row seems quite promising, but I'm having problems with shared music and photos.
I have an airport network in my home and have most of my music and photos stored on my desktop (Dual G4). When I open iTunes on my new MBP the shared music works just fine. Similarly, iPhotos shows the shared photos from my desktop on my MBP.
But, when I try using Front Row, I get an error message saying that there is no shared content. I found a work around that seems to work most (but not all) of the time. If I open iTunes first, start playing a song (shared from the desktop) and then switch over to Front Row it shows that song as now playing and then the rest of the shared music is available.
I have used Software Update to download the latest version of all software on both computers and for my airport network.
Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
David

If you haven't already please update to 10.4.8. If issue persists then try the following:
Remove the following files to the trash (do not empty until you test for function):
~/library/caches
~/library/preferences/com.apple.itunes.plist
~/library/prefernces/com.apple.iphoto.plist
~/library/preferences/com.apple.frontrow.plist

- Restart your computer again
- Test and see how its working
Hope that helps!

We get paid with cheques and organise specialised coloured aluminium. I can not rid my mac book pro or my IMac of the american spell checker.

We get paid with cheques and organise, specialised coloured aluminium. I can not rid my apple devices, mac book pro, desktop IMac or IPhone of the american spell checker.
Everything, Numbers and Pages et al, always default back to US English. To cap it all we sell luminaires (yes this is a word used in our world of lighting design everyday) Mac and Microsoft always default - my docs have more words underlined in red that not. I once found a permanent solution for Microsoft that removed US english - and then the laptop died. Can anyone rid me of this irritation.

GOT IT FIXED! WOW!
I did better than filing a bug report. I went to Apple support, chose chat support. When it wanted $15 or was it $19 I filed an exemption which was a choice on the page, based on the fact that I recently upgraded to Yosemite.
Got the chat fellow and here we go!!!! ;-) First off he sent me this app so he could see my screen. Then he had me do a few things like move the system configuration folder to the desktop and repair permissions. Then he had me reset the SMC and Pram. Nothing helped, all the ghost computers still showed in the finder.
As a last resort he had me reset my Apple Airport Extreme. Wala! Ghost Computers GONE! He said it was a combination of stuff but mainly it was the airport extreme when I installed Yosemite. Something to do with my network. We'll see if it holds or if the problem comes back but as of now there's no more ghost computers in the sharing part of the finder.
Thanks to all who offered suggestions. I hope maybe this helps someone else.
