Macbook Pro can connect to Belkin N1 wireless, and says ISP and everything is fine, but I cannot seem to access the internet?

Hey everyone, I've been experiencing this problem for a very long time, my Macbook Pro has a lot of trouble connecting to my Belkin N1 wireless, however, when I sit far away from the router I seem to be able to connect and use the internet, though I have a lot of 'System Timeout' and have to reboot my wireless. After we moved houses, my room is extremely near the wireless, and before the Belkin was formatted with a password, I was able to use the internet without a problem. However, now I can connect to the wireless, and Network Diagnostics tells me that everything is good to go, however, I just can't seem to use the internet. No pages will load, I've tried everything changing proxies, looking through my security certificates and tried using IP addresses instea of website names and nothing seems to work.
I've gone to the store and have always been dismissed, with the excuse that Belkin is just not compatible my Macbook. I'm not technologically savvy, but I can follow instructions.
Thank you in advance!

Hello blinchikis. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Which Belkin model do you have? Are you running wireless encyption, WEP or WPA? If so, if you temporarily disable encryption, can you connect your iBook to the Internet now? How about if you connect your iBook, directly using an Ethernet cable?

MacBook Pro can connect via Airport but not iPhone or iBook G4.

Anyone have any ideas? My Macbook Pro can connect to my Airport (v.7.3.1, 802.11n) but not my iPhone or iBook or a Windows Computer or WiFi Blackberry.
The connection is strong and detectable by the ibook but "unable to connect".
Somethings up with the settings but not sure what.
Any ideas?
HELP!
thanks

I've tried Channel 1,2,3,4,5 (still need to try the others)
Secured or unsecured the only wireless connection that works is my MacBookPro.
I get the message "unable to join network..." The connection is very strong.

Is it neccessary to buy an AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme for my macbook pro to connect WI FI or wireless?

so I have a macbook pro, but i don't know whether i need to buy an AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme to connect to WI FI or wireless. or i only need to modem??
HELP!!! :'(

Airport Extreme is used by Apple for its wireless routers and the hardware inside your MacBook Pro that is used to connect to a wired or wireless router. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AirPort_Extreme#AirPort_Extreme_Base_Station
While Apple would like you to buy everything from them you can use any brand that will work with Macs. My setup is a Qwest DSL modem connected to a NetGear wireless router. The Airport Extreme card inside my MacBook recognizes them without any problems

How to prevent a MacBook Pro from connecting to a certain Wireless Network

I just got a new AEBS for christmas, and i have noticed after restarting it to apply new settings, my macbook will automatically connect to the 2.4ghz wireless G signal, instead of the 5ghz wireless N connection. I have tried removing the SSID from the preferred networks list, changing the password in my keychain, and even removing the info from the keychain, also i put the wireless N connection SSID name at the top of the preferred network list, and after trying all of this, my macbook, will still connect to the wireless G connection. Any Suggestions? Thanks Much!

Welcome to the discussions!
Your computer will automatically connect to the strongest signal. 5 GHz signals are absorbed by walls, ceilings and any obstructions far more quickly than 2.4 GHz signals and that may likely be causing the issue that you see there.
Unless your computer is close to the AirPort Extreme (AEBS) and/or you have close to line-of-sight between your computer and the AEBS, the signal from the 2.4 GHz band at your location is probably stronger than the 5 GHz signal.
You do want your computer to choose the best signal possible, correct?
Or, are you asking if there is a way to force your computer to connect to the 5 GHz network, even if the 5 GHz signal quality is not as high?
Please confirm if that is the case. You won't be able to try to force this connection unless you have assigned different network names to your "main" and "guest" networks. By default, they both have the same name. Have you made these changes by clicking Wireless Options in AirPort Utility?

MacBook Pro can't recognize battery, fan is at high speed and computer functions really slow

My MacBook Pro suddenly won't recognize it's battery so I tried rmoving it's battery and put it back again. I can use it but there is still an (X) sign instead of the battery percentage on the upper right corner of my desktop. After this I turned on my laptop and all of a sudden the fan turned on on high speed and it became slow (by slow I mean really slow) even if I don't open/use anything on my computer because of this I went to an Apple Service Center and they tried to check if its because of the hard drive, RAM and all that stuff. They told me it's not because of those things but they also told me that maybe the wiring or the cable of the battery that connects to the computer is not working so I have to replace it. But for the fan and the slowing of my computer they don't know what's happening.
I really need help. Pleaseeeeeee. Thanks in advance.

I cannot get my airport router to talk to my service provider modem. I know the modem works as I can hook my laptop direct to the modem and it is ok.
How can I test my Airport router.

From reading Vista forums support for SSD is one of the things Vista SP2 and Windows 7 hope (need) to improve upon. I was in a similar discussion once befoe on SSDs:

I don't think it is EFI issue, but with XP and drivers, lack, and wonder if you can try with Vista?

That won't solve performance issues, but should work.

"My guess is that [Samsung and Microsoft] are maybe working on the OS recognizing an SSD with a 4K-byte sector size instead of a hard disk drive with a 512-byte sector size," Wong said.
Sun is already working with Samsung to bulk up SSD support on the ZFS (Zettabyte File System), which is included in the Solaris OS, and will also be supported in Apple's upcoming Mac OS X 10.6, codenamed Snow Leopard. Sun is adding capabilities to boost the durability and performance of SSDs on ZFS-based operating systems. For example, Sun may add defragmentation capabilities for SSDs, which organizes data in a particular order to enable quicker data access.
SSDs were not considered ideal for defragmentation because of limited read-and-write capabilities, Wong said. However, Samsung and Sun in July jointly announced an 8G-byte SSD that bumped up durability from 100,000 read-and-write cycles to 500,000. That brings defragmentation in SSDs closer to reality, which could improve its caching and provide quicker access to data. Sun plans to put SSDs into storage products later this year.

My MacBook pro stopped connecting to my apple wireless keyboard a while ago. Since it won't connect to a second one, I suspect it's a computer issue. Software thoughts? Updates I've missed? Thanks

About a year ago, my computer and my keyboard stopped connecting. I attributed it to a failed keyboard. Didn't use it much.
Tried today with a second apple wireless keyboard, and it won't connect via blue tooth, either.
Could this be a software/firmware issue that it well known? Or the bluetooth card on my computer is dead?
Thoughts?

And, I get a message saying that the "device does not have the required services."
Thanks again.

New MacBook Pro can't find my A1314 wireless keyboard

Any thoughts? I've run the Bluetooth set-up assistant until I'm blue in the face, but, although it lists the keyboard as a device, it can't seem to "see" it sufficiently to pair with it. (No such problems with my much older wireless mouse, oddly!) All thoughts gratefully received..

Did you take a look at Apple's help docs?

Also, did you run the "Bluetooth keyboard assistant" or the normal "Setup Bluetooth device"

I have iMovie '11, and I am unable to access mpeg HD video files that I want to edit. The files are fine (I can open and watch them using VLC), but I cannot seem to import the files into iMovie. File Import does not work. Any suggestions??

More detail: I have a bunch of mpeg HD video files that were shot on a SONY HDR-HC3 Handycam camcorder. I would like to edit these into a single video production. I can access and view the mpeg files using VLC (Quicktime does not work with them). However, I seem to be unable to get the mpeg files to interface with iMovie '11 -- I cannot use the File --> Import command, nor can I drag-and-drop them into iMovie.
Is there something anyone might suggest to get this to work? Or are these files incompatible with iMovie? If so, I assume I must purchase a different video editing software program (e.g. Adobe Premeir Pro). Suggestions???
Many thanks in advance for your time and consideration

Yes, I tried that.   The files were ordered by their original numbers as imported from the camera, but I batched them through Phocoshop to downsize all of them into a more manageable file size.   I opened that destination folder from quick time from where it said select image sequence.   I clicked on the first one and opened it.   The result was a large image with an arrow indicating a movie was ready to go.   When I pressed the arrow, though, I realized it had only imported that one frame so there was no movie.   The files are Jpgs and are about 450 KB each.
    To your knowledge are there any links to iMovie tutorials or quick time tutorials that may address this situation? Maybe there will be one I haven't looked at yet.
    Thanks

HT204053 I have a different Apple ID for store purchases and ICloud. Unfortunately my ICloud ID is set to an email I no longer use. I want to change my ICloud ID to match my Store ID but I cannot seem to find the way to do that. How can I update my ICloud

I am trying to update my Apple ID for my ICloud Account. For some reason, when my IPad updated the OS it put on an old email address and Apple ID to my ICloud account and now I can no longer participate in the ICloud because I cannot remember my password and have no way of retreiving it because my old email account is closed.
Very frustrating! How can I fix this?

If you know the answers to your security questions, you should be able to change your password without using email authentication (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HE36). If you don't, you may be out of luck.

My iPhone 4 is connected to the home wifi network, but i'm unable to access the internet

Macbook Pro can't find my home wifi

I just got my battery replaced.. All my data disappeared. The worst thing is, I can't find my home wifi network but my neighbour wifi network is available. Pls help me fix this.
Mine is a MBP 2011.
Your help is much appreciated!

Hello, Sallyelainelee!
You may want to check the settings on your Router to make sure there isn't something in its configuration that's preventing the MacBook Pro from seeing it. If the MacBook Pro can connect to other WiFi networks OK, I would imagine that this would be the case.

HT204347 is there any other place that the serial # for a MacBook Pro can be found?

Is there any other place that the serial # for a MacBook Pro can be found. I purchased this on Ebay and it functioned fine for 6 months and then it comes on with a blank screen.

On mine at least, it's etched into the bottom cover. It's very tiny and on the screen hinge side of the casing.

TS1814 ITunes can't access the internet for updates or restores?

I'm trying to restore my iPod but my iTunes isn't accessing the internet for it. When I tired to update it it was still unable to access the internet, it can still access the internet for previously purchased songs and for the iTunes store. I'm using Windows 8. I already tried Apple's support, but I can't find an answer, anyone know a fix?
I've already done everything that is on the generic support pages

I had the same problem and this is what I did. On a side note and just a disclaimer as this may not be your issue, but helped with mine. Several months ago, I noticed that my XBOX 360 was not connecting to the live service. I disregarded it at that time because I did not use the Xbox live service much. However, several days ago, I switched security on my wireless router (Belkin N1) and found that my Apple TV could not connect to the internet, but would connect to my local network via wireless. My iMac also would connect, but no internet. I reset my router to factory defaults and found that the Apple TV was pulling a 169.XXX IP address. I had DHCP enabled on the router and I suspect this may be part of the issue, but I manually assigned an IP address to the Apple TV of 192.XXX. I also assigned a manual IP address to my iMac. Now both connect successfully, but is odd how I had DHCP working on both ATV and iMac before and were working. I've tried the Apple TV via wireless and wired and had the same problem before assigning a manual IP address. I assigned a manual address to the XBOX and it now works. The XBOX was also pulling a 169 IP address.
Like I said before, this may be an issue with my router giving out or may be an issue with Mac products but I am not completely sure. I just know that manually assigning the IP address made both systems access the internet now.
Hope this helps and if anyone else has a solution, please post.
Thanks
Brandon

Why can one mac access the internet and not the other?

Hi I have just installed a 2nd generation Airport Express base station. I have setup a network and I can connect to it to access the web. Here's the rub, only my Macbook Pro can connect. My Macbook Air cannot connect? A weird error message says (translated from Swedish): Airport has the selfapplied/selfselected IP adress 169.254.67.130 and will not be able to connect to the internet.
Why can one mac access the internet and not the other? Is there something simple that I can do to get more macs to be able to use my Airport Express to access the internet?
Tech details:
Airport Express 2nd generation (just purchased) model 1392
Macbook Pro running 10.8.2
MacBook Air running 10.6.8

It seems the Airbook assigns a dummy IP address so somehow it doesn't reach and receive an IP from the Express. I deleted the previous Express setting restarted the Air connected again, restarted the modem, restarted the Express nothing....
I spoke to the internet provider and the cable modem does not require any username or pw. from the modem to the cable it's one public ip, pure internet is flowing from the modem to the Express but the express doesn't seem to assign any IP address apart from the one assigned to the Macbook Pro.
Do you need a screendump of the settings on the functioning Mac or the faulty one? What settings are you interested in i.e. which tab should it shot?

Macbook Pro can connect to Belkin N1 wireless, and says ISP and everything is fine, but I cannot seem to access the internet?
