Macbook air connecting to multiple SSID at once?

firstly private or hidden SSIDs are a waste of time and effort I wouldn't bother trying to hide an SSID.
I am not a mac user also but I would suggest forgetting the SSID that is causing the issues on the mac book and seeing if entering it from scratch will clear the issue

I don't get how this is possible, but at least the evidence I am seeing this is happening. I have a client I setup with an Openmesh OM-sP WAP in like fabruary. It worked for a while until recently started crashing the wired network. I updated the firmware to V5 and that issue went away, but now his surface pro3 connects, but his macbook air won't go online on the private SSID. It connects and works fine on the public SSID, the private it just totally fails to do anything.
Acording to cloudtrax it was not blocked, but I could see he had it on public for a time, then I had him connect to the private and it then showed it was connected to both. I don't know this is just a glitch in how it displays on the logs, I have seen others having similar issue with this combination for some reason. He did say he left it and it went to sleep and it...

My Macbook Air connects to ATV at home but not at work

My Macbook Air connects at home over a Time Machine network to my apple tv just fine (including airplay); when at work on a non-apple wifi network both computer and apple tv connect but cannot see each other. As I would like to stream video to the work ATV via airplay, this is a problem... Any ideas?

Hello Allan Robinson,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning AirPlay:
iOS: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4215
Try the following suggestions:
Ensure that other devices are not trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
If possible, try to locate your Wi-Fi router in the same room as your iOS device and Apple TV.
If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
If the Wi-Fi router has an external antenna, check to see that is it connected properly and in good condition.
Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly. It will take a while.

MacBook Air connects to WiFi but can't connect to internet for about 5 minutes

I have a MacBook Air running Yosemite and whenever I wake it from sleep or turn it on it says it's connected to wifi, but it's usually about 5 minutes before anything will load.
• Happens on multiple wifi networks
• and doesn't happen to other devices on those networks
• Been going on for ages (since Mavericks)
• Diagnostics says nothing's wrong
• Still happens on other users and in safe mode.
Does this happen to anyone else / does anybody know a way around it?

Hi jamang1999,
For that specific issues where you are connected to the internet after waking your MacBook Air up from sleep and it is not connecting to the internet, then take a look at the article below to troubleshoot the issue further. There is a section called Symptom: After restarting or waking from sleep, my computer might not connect to the Internet and go through those troubleshooting steps to see if it continues afterwards. I know that the troubleshooting is for OS X lion and previous version of OS X but the troubleshooting is still relevant. If it does not work and are still experiencing issues, then you may need to contact Apple for additional support.

Hi @Lilium ,
I see that you are having issues printing through the USB connection. I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.

Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it shows just the printer's name.
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the printer's name. (LaserJet Pro MFP M125a )
If the full printer name isn't listed correctly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
How is the printer name listed?
If the issue persists, please try the following steps:
Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Close all applications.
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
Restart the computer..
Reset the Printing System:
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Click the Apple icon and then click System Preferences.
Click Printers & Scanners.
Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system.
Then click the + sign to add the driver, highlight the printer. (you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name) Then click on the Add button.
Try printing again.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a great day!

Windows 8.1 on Macbook Air connecting to Time Capsule

I have installed Windows 8.1 on a separate partition of my MacBook Air. My Time Capsule (2 TB) is visible when I boot to iOS X, however, when I boot to WIndows, it doesn't show in the Network devices list even though the MacBook Air is connected to the Internet through the Time Capsule's wireless network. Does anyone have any suggestions of how to make the Time Capsule available under WIndows? I have turned on Network Discovery and file sharing in Windows.
Thanks for your time.

It is very helpful to install airport utility for windows.
Although rather out of date it adds bonjour for windows and other small apps which help.
Then in standard Windows Explorer, type the TC IP address directly into address bar.. thusly.
\\10.0.1.1
Now you will need to find out the IP of the TC.. that should now be available in the airport utility you have just installed.
If it refuses to open the issue is firewall .. turn it off.. or it is network is set to work or public location not home.. reset it to home.

HT4241 Macbook-Air connect to TV direct HDMI / Won't Play

That's extended desktop mode. Just grab the app and drag it off the right side of the MB screen. It will appear on the TV.
Visit the System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement tab for other options.

Question about macbook air connecting to the tv

Hi there,
I have a macbook air and a non-HDMI tv I recently procured from Goodwill. What do I need to buy in terms of cords, etc... to connect my Mac to my tv?
Thanks!

You should also ask this in the MacBook Air forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

Problem with MacBook Air connecting to Epson Stylus sx600fw wirelessly

Hi
I have been trying to set up my new Macbook Air with Epson Stylus sx600fw. Previously this printer was being used via USB with a PC. I have set up the printer on macbook via USB, but under the advice of online resources, erased that and began trying to set it up for wifi use. The printer cannot be found in the Print & Scan section of settings, and when i enter it in manually with IP address, it can find the software to install but gets stuck and says "Unable to verify the printer on your network". After further research i have tried to Ping the printer, which does not work. One thing that i notice is that the Subnet Mask is different than the apple default...for the printer it is 255.255.0.0, where for apple it is 255.255.255.0 but i dont know how to change this
Any advice for where it might be getting stuck or what I can do?
thanks!!!

Macbook Air connects to network fine but will not connect to internet?

I am staying with someone away from home and cannot use my Macbook Air (OSX 10.9.4) with the internet. They have a Comcast network and all other devices including my iPhone, connect with no problems. I have connected to the network and it works initially (loading a web page or retrieving email) but almost immediately the internet stops working and pages freeze trying to load. The wifi shows no problems but internet connection is not working for both email and safari
I have cleared the network info and set up again, reset the router, restarted my computer and other trouble shooting. I have been able to connect to the same network by tethering my phone as well but cannot use the network directly.
Everything indicates that there the network connection is fine but but no internet, please help!

Connect to the problem network. Double-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
www.google.com
Launch the Network Utility application.
Step 1
Select the Lookup tab and paste into the address field by pressing command-V. Then press return. Post the output that appears below – the text, please, not a screenshot.
Step 2
Select the Ping tab and do the same. Please enter the same input as you did in Step 1. Don't use the output of Step 1 as input to Step 2.
Important Note
Some web browsers and mail clients will automatically convert a domain name such as "www.example.com" to a clickable URL, such as http://www.example.com. That will interfere with the test. If necessary, edit the input in the Network Utility window to remove any added characters.

Why won't my macbook air connect to the internet?

I recently arrived at my relatives house and connected to their guest internet via password. I opened network preferences, selected the network, and it connected. Then when I went to google chrome and safari, I was sent to a page where a login password was required. I entered this password and surfed the internet until mid day. Then this evening I went to log on to the internet and my macbook air wouldn't bring up the log in page like it had earlier this morning and yesterday evening. My iPod touch connects just fine, and so do the windows computers in the house. There is a three-device limit for the guest internet, but currently there is only one computer on it. I tried restarting my macbook several times, I deleted the account from the list of frequently accessed wifi spots, but nothing seems to work. Help please! And nothing too technical, I'm not really too computer savvy. Thanks.

I recently had a similar problem. I tried many solutions that others propsed.
My particular solution, I "looked" into my Westell router and found its IP address. Seeing the other 5 devices (all were working on the internet), I saw how the ending number of the address identified the particular device on the router. I went to the System Preferences on the MacBook Air, opened up Network, chose Advanced and went to the tab TCP/IP and then in the Configure IPv4 address pull down used the manual DHCP and entered a new number that was 12 higher than another computer.
Example 192.168.200.1 was router, another computer was 192.168.200.68 and I gave the Air .80 as the last number. It worked!
I don't know what will happen when I return to my usual home network where it was working as well as on others.
Best of luck to all who have this problem.

Macbook Air: connecting Canon Office All-In-One PIXMA MX330 printer

I purchased my Macbook Air a few months ago, and I selected theCanon Office All-In-One PIXMA MX330 printer to go along with it. I have tried to install the printer a few times in various ways. Initially, I used my Macbook Air superdrive to attempt to load my new printer with the included disk. However, installation requires that the printer be connected to the Macbook via USB. Since the superdrive was occupying my only USB, I tried to connect my printer wirelessly with another computer. The laptop I used was not a Mac, and I simply could not get his computer to recognize the disk for my Macbook. So I tried something else; I borrowed my school libraries USB splitter in a last attempt to connect them both to my Macbook Air at the same time. However the superdrive does not react when not directly connected to the computer...
In short, I cannot find a way to connect my Canon Office All-In-One PIXMA MX330 printer to my Macbook Air.
Help?

Connect the SuperDrive to the computer, use the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to create an image of the installation disk, disconnect the SuperDrive, plug in the printer, and install the software from the image.

Macbook Air connected to External Monitor does not fill entire screen

Hello All!
I am having a bit of trouble. I recently purchased a MacBook Air for work, and I bought a Samsung moniter to go connect the Air to when I am in the office. However, when I connect the Air to my moniter the enitre screen doesn't fill up (please see attached pic). Can anyone help?
Much Thanks!

UPDATE: I just came back after a visit to the apple service provider here in New Delhi. They have replaced the logic board on my macbook pro and guess what? the situation is still the same. No difference what so ever as far as the screen resolution is concerned. I can still see those black bars in the exact same places i.e. the right hand side as well as on the top of the screen. Even the size of the black bars are still the same.
I am so upset right now. After trying my best in order to solve this problem I went to the AASP with high hopes. I was very confident that after replacing the logic board this annoying problem would go away but unfortunately that's not the case. Even the Apple Engineer was clueless on how to solve this problem.
I think I'll call apple care and speak to the customer relations regarding a replacement.
If any of you can come up with a solution to this problem please let me know.
I'm all ears!!!

Why doesn't my 2015 macbook air connect to any bluetooth devices?

I have recently bought a macbook air, having been out of the apply world for a number of years. Stupid me, but I just presumed that my up to the minute, expensive new laptop would connect to my non-mac, not brand new, but only a couple of year's old, bluetooth devices, the main device being my wireless speakers. Sadly, this is not the case so I am unable to listen to any music from my iTunes library through my speakers using my 'all singing, all dancing', amazing new macbook. I am pretty annoyed by this to say the least. I can't even find any meaningful advice or guidance to tell me if this is a honest to goodness fact, 'no, you can't connect it' or whether it is something that I could rectify via downloading something or even taking it to someone more techy.........so frustrated!!!!! Please help!!

Manxtree ~ Go to Apple's Knowledge Base HERE and, into the search bar, enter: Mac Bluetooth speakers and then click the Search button. In the resulting list of hits you should see one called "OS X Yosemite: Set up Bluetooth audio devices". Click on it.
