Hello guys,
Ive been looking for a solution to this problem for a long time. I have seen various variations of my problem but nothing exactly the same. But still I appologise in advance if this has already been covered.
Basically I bought a MacBook Pro back in late November and for some reason I cant connect to any network that has a WEP password. I had one on my home network and had to remove it leaving the connection open in order for me to connect. but now I am on holiday and I am having the same problem. I have the right password and everything but it just wont connect to it. I get a message saying "cannot connect to <network name>"...its quite frustrating.
What could be wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated, or if you can just point me in the right direction that would be cool too
Thanks guys
RossMy MacBook Pro had been working fine with my WEP encrypted wireless router until my husband "fixed" the router to work with his lame XP laptop. He reset the router and reinstalled it, then I could not connect unless it was set to WPA, and he couldn't connect until it was set to WEP. I finally figured out how to connect using the WEP. I have to open Internet Connection and instead of selecting my wireless network from the list, I have to select 'other', and then select my home network. Then I have the option to select WEP hex instead of WEP password. My password then works. I don't have to put a $ in front of it.
Now I have the problem of having to do this each time I turn on the MacBook, though. Does anyone know a way to change the default encryption for a wireless network so I don't have to go through this each time? I tried changing the preferred network settings, but, again, when I pick the home network from the list it does not recognize my password because it thinks that it is WEP password instead of WEP hex. -
MacBook Pro and Internet problems
I do have a RT-N56U Assus and a Macbook Pro, Obviously with Internet connection problems (it looks like the protocol is not 100%accurate). My three windows PC work nicely but not my apple one. I tried different solutions without success. Nevertheless, I solved this issue Just doing the next
In your MacBook Pro
1. Go to system preferences.... wi-fi advanced... (bottom right)
2. Then TCP/IP tab and select and copy the router ID
3. Go to Safari and paste in the search line the ID number (e.g. 321.321.2.2.)
4. Log in to your browser usually is... user; admin password; admin
5.In the Router go to more config (bottom right)
6. In wireless mode use g only and tick the b/g protection (if already not selected)
7. Enjoy Internet.Sig,
Thanks for the advice. I finally tried a solution after doing nothing. LoL. What I did do was change the channel the router was on from 9 to 7. I think I've done something like this in the past when I had slow internet and that worked out well too. I thought that would help and so far so good. Not an interruption so far but we shall see. To the guy or girl who expressed that they had the same problem as me I would try changing the channel of your router like I did. I will monitor the situation and see if it totally solved my problem or not and keep this thread updated. Thanks people -

HT204053 i have old macbook pro and having problem finding where to down load icloud
How do add icloud to my Macbook pro wher do i go?
Welcome to the Apple community.
iCloud comes with OSX 10.7.2 or later, you need to update your operating system from the Mac App Store. OSX 10.9 is the current version. -
I have a MacBook Pro and have problems using my Facetime. Last time I used it without problems. Now I am trying to use it, and it is asking that I enter my Apple ID. When doing so, it comes up with a message that says, "The server encountered an error processing registrion. Try again later." What does this mean, and how do I fix it? Thanks.
I had the same problem and found the solution here:

I plugged in my macbook pro power adapter and heard a loud bang. I checked the charger by opening it and found out the charger blew the whole mother board up. So i buy another charger, as i live in Egypt, that blew up the same way, please help.
You'll certainly need a new logic board.
If I were you, I would take the machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them evaluate the problems and give you an estimate for repair. If you're out of warranty, be prepared to pay a very high price to get your computer repaired.
Good luck,

I have a MacBook Pro and the batter icon has an "X" in it. I attempted resetting the SMC but it's still there. Not sure if the SMC didn't work or I have another problem. Help?
You can try the SMC again.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Follow directions for a battery you should not remove yourself
You can also try a NVRAM/PRAM reset (at the bottom of the same page in the above link
Also hold the OPTION key and click on the Apple logo in the menu bar and click on system information, in the left column select power. Under the battery info see if it is charging (with the power adapter plugged in) as well as the health info (condition should be normal), and battery installrd (should be YES)
If other than these are different you may want to take it in to a Genius bar for a full diagnosis they will do that for dree.
Hope this helps -
After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!
iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.columbus new boy wrote:
How crap is that?
It's not crap at all.
It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
There has to be a solution.
Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
and maintain a current backup of your computer. -
I am trying to play a DVD on my MacBook Pro and transmit it to my TV (using my TV as the monitor) utilizing a VGA cable and adapter for the Mac but the only image that shows up on the TV is the MacBook wall paper, any ideas on how I can transmit the movie from my MacBook to the TV? I also tried an HDMI cable and had the same issue.
you are probably seeing the extended display.. to see ur main display go to pefrences then display steeings and turn mirroring on.
this will display ur mbp main screen. good luck. -

I am having some huge problems with my colorspace settings. Every time I upload my raw files from my Canon 5D mark II or 6D the pics are perfect in color. That includes the back of my camera, the pic viewer on my macbook pro, and previews. They even look normal when I first open them in photoshop. I will edit, save, and then realize once i've sent it to myself to test the color is WAY off. This only happens in photoshop. I've read some forums and have tried different things, but it seems to be making it worse. PLEASE HELP! Even viewing the saved image on the mac's pic viewer is way off once i've edited in photoshop. I am having to adjust all my colors by emailing myself to test. Its just getting ridiculous.
Check the color space in camera raw, the options are in the link at the bottom of the dialog box. Then when saving make sure you save it to the srgb color space when sending to others. Not all programs understand color space and or will default to srgb. That won't necessarily mean it will be accurate, but it will put it in the ballpark. Using save for web will use the srgb color space.

I bought a new macbook pro and now every time i try to buy anything with my apple id it doesn't go through. I tried Ibooks and iTunes but neither one will work. I have registered this computer and even tried unregistering all the other computers but that did not do anything. I also checked my form of payment and that is not the problem either because i have no problems what so ever buying anything on my iPhone or my desktop computer.
It is just this computer.
I try to buy something and something pops up and says... "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-45054). There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later."
And i have been trying later for 2days now.Have you tried repairing disk permissions : iTunes download error -45054

Thank you! This may sound lame but are these instructions for my blackberry? I'm receiving iCloud emails without problems on my MacBook Pro and I'd rather not mess w/ settings there. Thanks again!
You don't need to start a new thread to continue a conversation, you can just tack onto the original one. The settings I referred you to are for the Blackberry, since that's the device which is not receiving mail: anything which is working can be left alone.
