Macbook can find every network except my own (iPhone,PC and other device can)
I used to have long hair, but now it's short from me trying to wrap my head around this problem..
My new Macbook Pro have decided to ignore my router and it's driving me nuts!
My iPhone 3gs, PC, Xbox360, 3DS, Printer and Wii are all connected to the router.
The Macbook Pro could earlier connect, but than it suddenly decided that no matter what name, visable or non-visable, password protection or no passward-at-all, or any setting at the router I can possebly try, nothing works, every device EXEPT the bloody fricking Macbook can find and connect.
I hade a friend over to have him try with his own Macbook Pro, AND IT FRICKING finds,connects and the whole deal...
What is wrong with my Macbook and what should I do to fix it?
PS. It connects to the network i have set up at both my mother, father and friends... It ONLY ignores my own home router, that it has been connected to most before....
In dire need of advice
// MacbookPro user
hmm....
I seem to have solved it by deleating my saved networkkeys, deleating com.apple.softwareupdate.plsit, restarted router and laptop after every action I tried and finaly connect to another randome unknown open network close to my bulding, And like magic my router name suddenly appeard in the network list....
Somehow I don't feel satisfied with this "solution".... -.-"
Well, when the problem returns, I will return... ^^"
Thanks For all the help

Since upgrading my iPhone5 to the newest iOS (6.1.2) I can longer connect to WiFi. It sees the wireless network but will not connect.. Other devices in my home that weren't upgraded can connect just fine.
I had the same problem. I did the reset networks on my iPhone & it did not work. My husband read somewhere that changing the channel on the router to manual & selecting the highest available channel number might help. I did that & it solved the problem. I have not had the problem since.

Why do I get a different movie price for the same movie on my iPad and iPhone. And 1 device says I can rent it but the other doesn't ,.?
Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security, (including anti-phishing and redirects) (Full information about Open DNS is here: http://www.opendns.com/home/nobloat ) and further independent information can be read here:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57338784-263/free-dnscrypt-tool-enhances-ma c-web-security/?tag=mncol;txt
and here:
http://www.macworld.com/article/1146064/troubleshootdns.html?t=234
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:

Can a Mac Pro (2.66 ghz duel core) be upgradable to support Thunderbolt displays and other devices.
Can a Mac Pro (2.66 ghz duel core (4cores)) be upgradable to support Thunderbolt displays and other devices. Does this need to be done through the Graphics card expansion or a additional card to be inserted?
No. There is no way to upgrade any Mac Pro older then the cylindrical 2013 Mac Pro to ThunderBolt.
The requirements of Thunderbolt require a totally redesigned motherboard and chip set rather any plugin cards. These motherboard were never developed for older Mac Pros. -
I have an Iphone 4s and i can't make a connection to my mac and other devices via bluetooth! Why is this a problem and how can i repair it?
"I have an Iphone 4s and i can't make a connection to my mac and other devices via bluetooth! ":
That is correct.
"Why is this a problem and how can i repair it?"
Becasue this has never been a feature of iphone/ipod/ipad. There is nothing to repair. -
i have two iphone one is iphone 5 and othere is iphone 4 . can i use same id for both ? And do i have to purchase the application again for iphone 4 which i have buyed for iphone 5.??
You can use the same Apple ID for both phones, you would then be able to use the purchased Apps/Content on both phones without having to pay again.

Why can't anybody get the photos I send them from my Iphone 4s? I've sent it to blackberries, iPhone 3G, and other phones - nothing has been able to get them!
Do you get a send error message or a red "!" when you send? Do you have a data plan on your account? Check that your carrier has you provisioned for MMS.

Hello Anne Marie Larson
Check out the first article below to get your iPhone to show up within iTunes. If you made a purchase within the iTunes Store you can actually download it with your iPhone being plugged in, the second article will help with that.

Trouble with MacBook Pro finding AirPort networks
I recently bought a new (refurbished) MacBook Pro (15", 1.83GHz), to replace my old iBook, which was one of the early white models, circa 2001.
Everything about my new computer is wonderful, of course, except that every time I boot up, wake from sleep, or turn on the AirPort, it takes up to a full minute for the AirPort to find any open networks. This happens at school (where there are AirPort base stations all over the place), at home (where we have a Belkin router, and several neighbors have others), and at my parents' house (where they have a linksys router). It doesn't seem to matter whether the networks use encryption or not, nor how close or far I am from the nearest router. If I know the name of a nearby open network and type it in, I can get it, usually. On my old iBook, I had a little trouble with some of the networks at school sometimes, but never with this kind of delay across the board, and certainly never at home nor at my parents'.
Also, at home, when the the AirPort finally does find the available networks, it NEVER chooses my router first, even though it's the only one in the neighborhood that I listed under "Preferred Networks."
I've read some similar posts, dealing with problems with accessing encrypted networks, but nothing seemed to address my particular issue. It might be a defect with the AirPort or firmware, but I wanted to check, first.
(Oh, and I'm not a complete newbie, but tech-speak often goes over my head. Please keep it simple.)
Thanks!This is how I fixed the problem on my MBP.
Go to Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences
Delete the folder SystemConfiguration
Go to System Prefrences > Network > Show+Network Port Configuration. Check Airport and Built-in Ethernet and make sure Airport is on the top of the list.
Reconfigure your wep passwords and it should work. Worked for me. Also, you will have to redo your power settings.

I have installed the air-extreme base and all works with my macBook air.

There is something amazing about having an ipad2 and being able to present to a boardroom while standing up, moving around and wirelessly presenting - and now I see Macbook Air is really penetrating the office suite - the same is needed - for professional presentations there is nothing better
My only question to you is - now that you can do this with an ipad 2 - and most boardrooms only have VGA projectors - have you figured out how best to get an Apple TV2 to connect to VGA? eg: HDMI - VGA or some other connection?
I think the ability to somehow easily connect an Air TV2 to a VGA and mirror desktops from a Mac will cement the MAC way up the food chain -

My MacBook Pro Retina stopped connecting to my wifi. But all my other devices still work on the wifi. I can connect to wifi on the MacBook through my personal hotspot on my iPhone 4S. I have not changed any settings on my wifi network, and I have not changed any wifi settings on my MacBook. Please help!
Care to share which OS you are using?
Have you read for possible solutions over in the "More Like This" thread over here?----------------------->
Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

When I try to use my iPad I get a message that says my iPad has not been backed-up for 2 weeks. I've plugged it in, locked it and wi fi is working with other devices but I can't get passed that message. I've tried turning the iPad off but even then I can't slide the bar to turn it off. Any suggestions?
Try this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
Hello!
I have a big problem with itunes. I can't see a few things in it.
I have attached a picture below.
Also please note, i am a fresh iPhone owner and I run iTunes 10.5 on Windows 7 on 32 bits, and had NO problem with anything until iTunes.Try taking the USB lead out of the PC and plugging into another
Then turn the phone off by holding the power ans home buttons at the same time
the screen should now be dark
press the home button down and keep it down while plugging in the lead to the phone, the apple logo should appear and then the pic of the USB on the screen, keep the button pressed all thru this and your pc should recognise the phone and open itunes (if its not already open )
Hope this works
Steve
