MacBook Pro AirPort issue

Hi,
I have the MacBook Pro model just before the unibody model. I'm having a little problem with my AirPort. Restarting hasn't worked. I can connect to a network successfully, but half the time I won't be able to use the internet. Sometimes it will work, but a lot of the time it won't. This happens for different networks, no particular one. What could be the issue and how do I get it work properly?? Thanks.

I don't that matters, it happens to any modem/router. Even the university ones. Really annoying not to be able to connect easily on campus. But this one here, is a "2WIRE" Bell modem. Don't know which ones the university uses.

Macbook Pro Wifi Issue

I incorrectly posted this in the wrong thread this morning.
I'm hopeful you might be able to help me diagnose a problem I'm having. I'll provide as much detail as possible.
I have a first generation MacBook Pro. As of this morning I was running 10.5.6 and up until this week was using a linksys router and a comcast cable modem.
I used to have a great wifi signal throughout the house (always full strength), and around 12-18 months ago noticed the signal would weaken. The best I would get would be minus the top bar on the signal, and usually only if I was directly above or next to the room with the router. There were no new phones or devices added that might adjust the signal. On the other side of the house, I would have no signal at all.
My wife has a nine year old ibook and has no issues connecting through wifi.
When I bring my laptop to her parents' house or to the Apple store, where they use Belkin on N or Airport Extreme, I get a full signal.
I've recently suffered a hard drive failure and had a replacement drive installed. The problem persists despite the software update.
Not knowing if it was a router issue or an airport card issue or a combination thereof, I went to the Genius Bar. The genius recommended I upgrade my router to Airport Extreme, and if that doesn't work to return it and he'd focus on the airport card or antenna. I could get the flat rate repair (no AppleCare at this point) for $320+ to repair the problem if Extreme didn't work.
I installed the Airport Extreme router and got a full signal in the basement, far side of the house, upstairs - everywhere. Until around 10pm. The signal died from the basement. If I walked into the room with the Airport Extreme router, I'd get a full signal. If I left the room, I'd get a partial signal. If I walked any distance (10-12 feet), the signal would die. I restarted both the modem and router with no change. I reinstalled the linksys router and got a depreciated connection. I restarted the Airport Extreme again and got a full signal throughout the night, morning, through restarts, and when I returned home from work.
Last evening after using youtube extensively it died again. Linksys would barely work if I switched back, and no matter how many times I restarted I couldn't get the signal to last outside of the area of the router. I left it in the basement overnight shut down, restarted this morning, and had a full signal.
I'm looking for any potential guesses as to what may be causing the problem. I don't want to replace the card if it's the antenna or sink too much cash into a machine if it's a heat related issue linked to Generation 1 syndrome.
During all of this the ten year old ibook works fine. I know a lot of macbook pros have issues with their wireless and don't want to sink in the cash if it's more complex than that. Any advice is much appreciated!

Hi nashie1002,
If you are having issues connecting to your WPA2 WiFi network after a recent update, you may find the troubleshooting steps and settings in the following articles helpful:

It may also be worth doing a search for the specific model number of your router to see if anyone has noted any issues with Mavericks.

Can't install windondows 8.1 on my macbook pro - format issue

Can't install windondows 8.1 on my macbook pro - format issue
Running latest version of Mavericks.
Followed the exact bootcamp proceduce.
Have official window 8.1 version on cd.
All goes well until I have to format the 65Gb partition. Disk=0 and partition=4
Can't get over it. Altough I formatted it via a hint found on the internet with "dislpart" in NTFS. Wich also went weel and give the labelname "BOOTCAMP". But still no luck.
I have two questions:
1/ How to start my mac again in normal mavericks mode?
2/ How can I overcome the windows installation issue?
Tried already a lot of hints found on the internet.

First, make a time machine backup. You will need to erase ands reformat your hard drive. I had the same issue. The issue is that you can't install Windows using bootcamp without having the hard drive formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Do this from disk utility or recovery mode (hold down command and r at startup). Then you have to restore the backup to the hard drive. Then make a usb installer drive with bootcamp and then partition and install. Here's a tip: after you install bootcamp and are in the Windows desktop, go into the installer drive and then go into the bootcamp or support folder, then find a installer that contains the Apple bootcamp drivers. Also, you will need to convert the disk to an iso file. TO MAKE THE USB DRIVE FROM A DISC, USE THIS LINK

Macbook pro shutdown issue

Macbook pro shutdown issue when I push the power button it immediately goes into sleep mode

Hello Marrio22,
Thank you for the question. With OS X Mavericks, the power button has new functionality:
OS X Mavericks updates the power button behavior on Mac computers.
Using the Power Button to Sleep & Wake
Tap the power button in Mavericks to put your Mac to sleep or to wake it up:
Tap the power button once to put your Mac to sleep.
Tap the power button again to wake your Mac.
Press the power button for less than a half a second to sleep or wake your Mac. This duration is similar to pressing the Space bar or Return key to wake your Mac. The power button works this way across all Macs using OS X Mavericks, including both notebook and desktop computers.
Accessing the Shut Down Dialog
Press and hold the power button for 1.5 seconds, to bring up additional options:
Forcing the Mac to Turn Off
Hold down the power button for 5 seconds to force the computer to turn off. Important: You may lose unsaved documents if you force the computer to turn off this way. Use this method of turning off your Mac only if it has become unresponsive for an extended period of time. Normally you should shut down the computer by selecting Shut Down from the Apple menu, or from the shut down dialog pictured above.

HT1338 my macbook pro airport won't turn on! What would be the problem?

my macbook pro airport won't turn on! What would be the problem?
I've tried to turn the airport on and it says my airport card is not installed...
it has always worked till today... bot from now on nothing seem to help the airport work...
Please help me!
Thanks

You could try deleting the airpot from the sidebar of system preferences/network. To do this,
1) export the preferences for your airport to your desktop by pressing the gear next to the plus and minus sign above the lock.
2) Delete your airport from the sidebar using the minus sign while the airport is selected.
3) After deleting the airport, apply the changes and then press the plus sign to create a new airport.
4) Then import the preferences back in and apply the changes again.
This may bring your airport back. It worked for me. Alternatively, people have been having success with changing the location of the airport.
Good Luck.

MacBook Pro Airport Card disabled

Hello to everyone,
After the reboot following the last early june updates (10.5.7, Airport Client Update 2009-001 and iLife 09) I have a problem with my macbook pro 17' late 2008 (alu) Airport card : it is disabled and can't be enabled !
The airport internal card is BCM43xx.
To solve this after a few readings (I seem not to be the only one concerned with this problem) I tryed to :
o Make again a combo 10.5.7 update
o Re-install Airport Client update 2009-001
o Create another user on the computer -> not user related
o Delete the /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration directory, followed with disk authorisations repairing and a reset with PRAM erase -> The Airport started, but turned disabled again after a few seconds ....
I add the wifi network is made with an Airport Extreme, nothing was changed on this side and my other MacBook Pro airport is running fine (same updates, just an older MBP).
I also tryed to have a look at the console but found no errors, I have a frequent message : +(com.apple.AirPortBaseStationAgent) Unknown key for boolean: EnableTransactions+ but that's all ...
If someone has a few more ideas please help ...
Thanks a lot
Regards.

If this can help, I solved my airport problem by doing a SMC reset of my MBP. The airport card is now detected, with the latest updates.

AirPort and MacBook Pro Internet Issues

I have two unrelated issues with my network set-up.
My ISP is AT&T U-verse, however I use an AirPort Extreme as my main router. The Extreme network is extended by an AirPort Express so that a PC on the far side of my house can receive the connection. In this part of the house, my MacBook Pro can receive the signal, but the PC running Windows 7 with a Linksys Wireless-G USB Adapter will not connect. This is a new problem, as this computer used to be able to connect (but with a weaker signal than my MacBook) up until about two weeks ago.
The second issue is with my MacBook Pro (2011 model running Lion). Sometimes, when the computer wakes from sleep, I am told that my IP address is in use by another device on the network and that I should enter a new IP address (no idea how to do that). I am unable to get on the Internet when this message is displayed and I have to reboot my AirPort Extreme in order to get back online. I think that when my MacBook wakes from sleep, it is being duplicated on the network because once I was told that the Shared name of my computer was already used and that it would change to Anthony's Macbook Pro 2. It also seems to only happen when the MacBook falls asleep while still open.
If it helps, these are the devices connected to my network: MacBook Pro (2011, OS 10.7), iMac (2006, OS 10.6.8), PC (Windows 7), PlayStation 3, Wii, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS
Thanks in advance!

Also, just found out that the two iPhones also will not connect to the Express, just my MacBook.

2011 Macbook Pro Airport card Issues

Hi guys,
I have been having a problem with my 15" 2011 Macbook Pro. Over the last week my wifi has been malfunctioning. I will be able to succesfully connect to my WiFi for about 30 minutes, but then the signal drops. When I click on the connection reticule on the top right it says my WiFi is on, but that no hotspots can be detected. There are at least half a dozen hotspots near me.
After this, if I turn off the WiFi it will not turn back on. I have to restart my Macbook to regain connectivity. This has not coincided with any recent installations of hardware or software.
If anyone has solutions I would be very grateful. I have tried resetting my PRAM. I am about 2 months out of warranty. So, if this does require service I would appreciate any estimates on the cost.
Thank you!
Ryan

Your router is likely fine.
You should first update the Airport firmware for it, simply run the Airport and Software update.
See this
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3802
And then go to your System Preferences > Network > Advanced > TCP/IP and for IPv6 turn : OFF
Reboot and see how that goes.
When you connect to the router it gives you a lease on a IP address, if your computer's time and date are off this could make the lease expire and you connect and then get disconnected. So check that, see if it holds.
Reset your SMC and NVRAM/PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
Go to your <home> /Library/Preferences and drag the
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
file to the desktop and reboot, it will be rebuilt, hit your Sytem Preferences and reset them.
drag the useless file on the desktop to the trash.

Macbook Pro video issue with multiple Monitors and Powerpoint 2011

Hello all,
I have a major issue that is perplexing me. Whenever I hook up a second monitor or projector to my Macbook Pro 15" Early 2010 and launch a Powerpoint slideshow I lose video on both systems immediately and can only recover with a reboot. This is fully reproducable. It doesn't matter if I'm using the mini Display Port to DVI or VGA adapter, same results. Same results with monitors, TVs, or external projectors. I only experience this issue in MS Powerpoint 2011, no other applications. I have 8GB of Ram and a 2.66GHZ i7. It doesn't matter what my resolution is set to, same issue. I will post two error reports below for additional details.
Thank you for the help,
Eric

I "fixed" it, I did a fresh install and restore and that power point issue is gone. It works now without crashing but I am using Snow Leopard 10.6.4 now instead of 10.6.7. I'm going to update and see what happens.

Macbook Pro Retina issues with Wifi Speeds

I have one of the new Macbook Pro 15" Retina models and have been having issues with Wifi Speeds. Apple has replaced the computer but have the same issue with the new one. When doing a side-by-side comparison with older Macbook Pros and PC's I'm seeing around a 10 megabytes per second difference. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

So an update on what I've found. After testing two different MBP Retna's basically hourly for 4 weeks I found a few interesting things, but ultimately resolved my issue. The first thing I found consistently between both MBP Retina's both on my network and in the Apple store on their network was the first thunderbolt port closes to the screen is slower than if you try to use the LAN cable adapter on the second port. I saw about 10 GBps between the two ports. The second thing i found was these new MBP Retina's aren't really compatible with older Apple networking technology. I have a single band Airport Express and a single band Time Capsule. Using either router they only worked on the 2.4 5Ghz setting and even with that the speeds constantly fluxuated. Most times I got between 2 - 10 GBps. After hours of troubleshooting it was recommended to update either my Time Capsule or Airport Express to one of the newer dual bands, which I did. After purchasing and setting up a new dual band Airport Express and spliting the networks to have one band constantly on the 2.4 5Ghz setting and the other set to automatic both with differing network id's this solved my problem. I now consistently see download speeds of around 35GBps and upload around 6GBps. So connecting the dots and drawing logical conclusion, these new MBP Retinas are really only compatible with newer dual band Time Capsules or Airports. Even though my single band was also set to 2.4 5Ghz, the same as the dedicated network used now on my dual band Airport Express, this MBP Retina had issues maintaining WiFi speeds.

Poor MacBook Pro Airport reception?

Just upgraded from a 12 inch PowerBook to new 15 inch MacBook Pro - and my Airport signal strength has crashed as a result. Compared to the PowerBook reception is now so poor that I often have trouble connecting to the Internet at all. Signal strength showing on MacStumbler with the PB was generally about 75, it's now (using iStumbler on the MBP, because it's a Universal app) at 50. Is this a known issue with the MacBooks, and is there any solution? Or could it even be a problem with the specific airport card that's installed in the MacBook?
MacBook Pro 2.0 x 2 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1GB RAM

Hi,
I am having the same issue with my iBook G4, it has terrible airport reception, however I am using an airport extreme card which I installed about 2 years back when I got the iBook.
My boyfriend gets excellent reception on his (PC) laptop but using MacStumbler signal strength is only about 25-35 on my iBook.
Other factors:
The reception is just as bad for me on other networks (for example at my boyfriends house I have to virtually sit on top of the router to get reception and even then its dodgy and drops out all the time.
I have removed the Aiport Extreme card, cleaned it and put it back in and re-connected the ariel cable.
I have downloaded the latest software updates.
I have 2 routers (in a 1 bedroom flat!!!) I thought this might improve things, so I have a Belkin (I think) wireless modem/router in the hall AND an Airport Extreme base station in the living room acting as a bridge. Not a great deal of improvement was seen.
I have an iMac G4 in the living room also and the reception on that is fantastic.
Can anyone help or have any suggestions?

Configure MacBook Pro, (Airport Extr.) a PPC G4, Router, Cable Modem?

I have a MacBook Pro w/Airport Extreme, and a PPC G4 without Airport; I want to run both machines off my ISP (Comcast) and wonder what the better, more efficient configuration might be. Do I need a router regardless of the wireless status of either or both machines? Is it worth buying an Airport card for the older, G4? As a graphic designer I use both machines but, the G4 runs OS9 and OSX and, more of my professional software is on the G4 (with its 21" monitor). How might I set these up? I do like running my MBP wirelessly. One additional challenge: I have phone service with Comcast (must maintain this unfortunately) but I'd like to plug in my VOIP (USB) device, adding a second line. Is this doable? (G4 is a 1GHz PowerPC G4 (3.2) CPU, PowerMac3,6 model - Running OSX 10.4.9, which I need to update and, Classic OS 9.2.2) Thanks in advance for any ideas.

I use Comcast with this setup:
two Time Capsules connected by ethernet, the second placed in bridge mode. (I used to have two Extremes connected also). Each TC creates its own wireless network. The first is set for N only for the N devices to join the wireless network. The second is set for N+B/G for the slower devices to join that router. Network works without issues and is quite fast.
Here's all the devices I use to join wirless or connect by ethernet: Vonage, Apple TV ,airtunes using ATV, MBP, iMac, Powerbook and Mac Pro. HP laserjet using usb to TC and Bonjour(prints wired or wireless 24/7.

MacBook Pro Airport connection drops out

I have a new and really cool MBP.
I have a 2 year old Airport Express connected to a Motorola Cable Modem creating my wireless home net.
I also have a 2 years old iBook G4 with no problem connecting to the airport.
My new MBP has no problem too when is connected to the AC. BUT when I run my MBP from the battery, the connection drops out randomly.
It's annoying and I cannot find any helpfull support or working solution at Apple.com nor at the other similar thread on this forum. I've tried some proposed solutions. But none worked more than some minutes (which mean that actually they didn't work).
I have some questions about all this:
1) Anybody knows if this is a Hardware or a Software issue?
2) Apple officially said anything about this problem?
3) Can I use my purchase warranty in order to demmand a replacement?
4) Is there any official or unofficial solution that really works?
Please, help. I think it's very stupid to have a nice and really expensive laptop without real wireless capability,
Who want a wireless connection if you aren't able to use it when you are not connected to the AC????
If I was running Vista on Dell or HP laptop I would understand. But on a Mac???
COME ON APPLE!!!!!
This is the 2nd BIG problem I am facing with my new MBP since I bought it on July. I am frustrated and tired. First I couldn't use Motion 3 for like a month because of a bad update. Now I realize the wireless capability is crap.
I have the feeling that the older Apple Computers are better... at least they work!

I had the same problem on my MacBook Pro for the last month or so after "updating" to 10.4.10. Yesterday I tried Loki's fix but couldn't connect at all after that. So I did an archive/install of 10.4.9 and it works better than ever before. I get full signal and it is a lot snappier and faster. The problem is likely in the 10.4.10 update, hopefully Apple will get that fixed in 10.4.11

MacBook Pro Airport Performance

As discussed in two threads on the iMac Core Duo forum, the Airport implementation in the iMac seems to be hurting. Apple knows about this and there is a P1 level bug report filed. This means that it must be fixed before the next release.
The other threads are
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=339752&tstart=0
and
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=338281&tstart=25
There may be more than one problem, but the one described results in 3 easy to detect symptoms
1) download rates are about 57% of what one would expect
2) "ping" shows 6 good pings followed by 4 bad ones, then repeats
3) the network graph in Activity Monitor shows a "sawtooth" response when transferring large files. The sawthooth has a 10 second period (which cooresponds to the ping results)

The purpose of the NEW thread on the old subject is to strip off the chaff of the long old threads and pose a simple question
"Does your iMac Core Duo behave this way?"
Some folks say that their systems are working fine, others have serious troubles. If some work fine, then it isn't software. There may be a batch of "bad" ones out there (of which I apparantly have one). If the vote comes back mixed, it is probabably a hardware issue that doesn't impact every piece of hardware. If the vote is consistent, then it could be either hardware or softare.
I've asked the MacBook Pro folks to join in so please indicate your hardware as well and ALSO reply to this thread:

BTW, I've fired up an AXBS as a WDS remote and wired it to the iMac and now all is well

Mine works fine, and I actually am getting slightly BETTER throughput. No packetloss (which is likely the cause of your throughput issues).
I'm using a Linksys WRT54G with the OpenWRT firmware and my MBP.

MacBook Pro Airport switches off

Hi
Had my new 2.53GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo for a few months now and today for the first time my built in airport card, switched itself off.
When I went to Network Settings and clicked turn airport on, nothing happened.
So I then restarted and the start up wheel froze mid spin, so I took out battery and restarted all back up and running, later today the same problem occurred again.
Just to check it wasn't a broadband router Issue I switched on my old macbook pro, and the airport worked fine and connected me to the internet.
Any Ideas I have just updated the OS to 10.5.7 yesterday I think.

Same happens to me. I suspect it happens most often when my system is hot/warm.
MacBook Pro 17, 10.5.7 9J61, 2.6GHZ, 4GB.
The airport suddenly stops working. Sometimes the network preferences dialog wont open. Other times it will open, but I can never start the airport.
Othertimes, the system simply freezes, nothing will move. I've had this happen three times in a row, with me rebooting each time.
So I took my Mac to a service center. The guy ran Tech Tools Deluxe and it reported bad volume links (or something or another), so he re-installed the OS.
When I got it home, I restored via my Time Machine, but the mac is freezing or the airport is turning off now after five days of trouble free operation. The disk tests are clean. So the bad volume info on the disk was due to me restarting my computer, not the root cause.
So I'm going to have to run my system back to the service center.
