It can find everybody elses except mine!

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.

MacBook Pro can't find my NAS (My Book World)

I can't get my MacBook Pro to find my WD NAS (My Book World) on my home network. I have other devices that can find the NAS - Windows PCs and even an iTouch - so it is just my MacBook that can't find it.
Anybody got any suggestions?

Same problem here. Shows up on my PC latop but my Mac Mini can't find the WD MBW. On other forums Itunes updates is mentioned as a cause???
Anyone have a suggestion?

Macbook PRO can't find ANY Wifi network - only at home

Hi, i have a very strange problem with my *Macbook Pro*. I have 3 apple computers at home and one pc. On all machines Wifi works fine, except my new alu Macbook Pro. Important note is, when im with my macbook on other place, office, caffe, *Wifi works fine. But when im at home, this macbook simply can't find ANY network, it's blind.* Interesting thing is, all other computers are several years old and WiFi works fine on them. My friend also bought a brand new macbook pro, and this machine also couldn't fine any network at my home, or in other case when it found networks, it couldn't connect and recieve error message "Connection timed out". I noticed there is new Wifi network in our range, is it possible that this network can cause "blindness" on new macbooks?

*I have to say, I'm really glad you are trying to help guys.*
Well, router is almost on default settings, SSID is brodcasted and i'm not filtering MAC adresses. I tried changed channels, diffrent types of security or no security, no luck.
Guys, maybe i wrote it wrong, but this MacBook can't see ANY network. Around me there are 4-6 other networks which I'm able to see from other machines. So *problem is, this Macbook can't seen ANY network - not just mine.* BUT when i'm with this Macbook in office for example, or any other location, Wifi works....
And one more important thing, this happened suddenly. I was able few months ago to find any WiFi around me with this Macbook. No changes to router, no changes to mac. Problem is somwhere in the middle...try to focus on this: why i'm not able to see any of those cca 6 networks around me. I really think it has to do something with distorted signal and Wifi card used in new macbooks. It's really sick, because all other machines works perfectly (MB 07, MBP 06, PC, iPhone 3g)
I found a log on the router, and it's happening all the time:

One of my Macbook Pros can no longer print wirelessly to my HP 8100

Before I had AT&T U-Verse installed yesterday, I was using AT&T DSL. I had an Apple Time Capsule that I had attached my HP OfficeJet Pro 8100 to via USB. We have 2 Macbook Pros and they were able to print wirelessly to the 8100. When the technician finished with the U-Verse install he tried to connect my 8100 via an Ethernet cable to router (NGV510) since their router had no USB connection like my Apple Time Capsule. Nothing worked, couldn't figure out what to do. He put my Time Capsule as a bridge device to the AT&T router (I don't know what that means, but I have 2 networks now-- one is my original network name on Time Capsule and the new one is from the AT&T router). The Ethernet connection for the printer still didn't work. We connected the 8100 back to the Time Capsule via USB. One of the MacPros could print wirelessly, no problem. The other one couldn't.
I have been on the HP website, but am not a network tech., so I am having problems understanding what I need to do. Yesterday the AT&T guy told me to delete the printer, which I did, but I couldn't find a printer to re-add. Today I went through the HP site and tried the process of attaching the USB printer cable to my Macbook and re-booting. It found the driver and was added. I tried running the Set Wizard, but it evently said it couldn't find the printer. I tried it with USB printer cable attached to my Macbook and without. Neither way worked.
I am not sure what to do at this point. I did notice on the Macbook that can still print, there is [1BEEF5] behind the printer name, which does not appear on my Macbook printer name.
Any assistance would be appreciated, since AT&T says this is wireless connection problem and it is not their problem. They will try to fix it if I want to pay more money them for wireless support. What a scam!! You have a network that works and then they install their new product and break my connections and what me to pay more money to them to fix it. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN !! I wish I had never done this install. Terrible support from AT&T.

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @jdm2stl
I read your post about how you are having some difficulties connecting your Officejet 8100 to your Macs, over the network and USB, as neither seem to be working.
I will do my best to help and make good suggestions to you to see if we can get through this for you.
First, I would suggest this certain troubleshooting guide for the printer not being found:
'Unable to Find Printer' Error Message Displays for the Officejet 6100 and Officejet Pro 8100 Printe...
Another possibility, would be the actual router settings, as this was the device that had been changed. Check your router settings, here is what you are looking for:
Network name and password to have no spaces or punctuation.
If using WPA2 security, switch to WPA personal.
Dual broadcast Wireless b/g/n (printer may only connect to g).
Mac filter needs to be turned off.
Firewall settings need to be at there default settings, or set to a lower security.
Multicasting "on".
Following ports need to be un-blocked:
Incoming (UDP) ports : 137, 138, 161, 427
Outgoing (TCP) ports : 137, 139, 427, 9100, 9220, 9500
If all of the router settings are correct and you still cannot install the printer on your Macs, respond to me with which Mac OS X you're running on the Macs and we can go from there.
Have a great Thursday

Macbook pro can't find my computer

My Macbook Pro suddenly can't connect with my brother printer. How can I try and sort this out

Its no longer visible to the user. You can go to the folder by using the Go to Folder using username/library using the go to folder option to the right of the Finder labeled Go, then Go to Folder. Then you can see the contents of the user library folder.

Macbook Pro can't find Canon MG6350 via wifi

Macbook Pro purchased earlier this year and running OS X (10.9.1) can no longer find my new Canon MG6350 printer via wifi. Printer can also not be found by other new Macbook Pro, iPad Air or iPhones.
I have reset Canon printer, Macbook Pro printer system, downloaded latest drivers, tried inputing Canon printer IP address. Nothing works permanently. I temporary resolved issue by re-enabling Boujour on Canon printer settings, which magically allowed printer to appear on all devices, but this "fix" has now stopped working. Can also see all devices on BT Home Hub 3 when logged in as administrator.
I can print via USB, but want wifi printing to work. Very frustrated, as it worked brilliantly before latest OS X / iOS upgrades. Any suggestions or help appreciated.

Thank you for your interest Clinton.
Yes of course the printer connected to the wifi network. I can see all devices including the printer when logged on as Administrator on the BT Home Hub. I have also reset the Hub itself several times and reconnected all devices.
Note that I had no problem setting up the printer and all devices wirelessly on the network previously, and that this exact setup was working for months brilliantly and without issue until roughly the time I upgraded to the latest releases of OS and iOS on all my Apple devices.
I have also reset the printer to its factory setting several times, reconnected all devices to the network numerous times and have spent roughly four hours trying everything I can think of on both the printer and Mac to no avail. Hence my post. And yes all devices have the latest drivers as indicated by Apple and Canon.

Macbook pro can´t find/connect to my hotspot

Dear experts!
I recently moved to a new place and got myself a T-Mobile HomeNet Router. Everything works fine (WiFi and Ethernet) with all devices (iPhone, iPad, iMac, Linux-machine...) EXCEPT my MacBook Pro (specs below in the product section) :-(
Ever since I moved the Macbook can´t find or connect to my home hotspot. Settings on the router are as follows:
- 802.1 b/g (it IS capable of b/g/n but I found a thread somewhere pointing out that this could be an issue)
- channel 13 (deactived auto-channel because my neighbours had overlapping channel settings...this was the only one that worked)
- rate auto
- frequency 2.4 GHz
- 30% signal strength (same reason as above)
- QoS activated
- SSID hidden (tried broadcasting it, made no difference)
- WPA2-PSK
- AES (TKIP and TKIP+AES available as well...but neither made any difference)
I can connect via ethernet, however that´s not the intended purpose of neither my notebook nor the router :-/ Someone suggested it might be an encryption issue but even without ANY encryption the hotspot won´t show up in the list. Password contains special characters but even my old iMac doesn´t seem to have problems with it. I tried connecting manually via "other network" without success. Also via Controlpanel -> Network -> Assist me ...
I´m sitting right next to my router so the signal strength can´t be the cause either (besides all other devices work just fine anywhere in my appartement). Restarted all devices, each one is up to date. Last thing I tried was making the changes in Firefox cause someone suggested it might be a bug in the router software, still no success.....I´m out of ideas.
Posted this in another Mac forum already but no one could help me :-( You guys are my last hope ... does anyone know this issue and how to solve it??
any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
many thanks in advance
tchintchie

nevermind...here´s what solved it for me:

Thanks

it's the cable that goes from your hard drive to your logicboard....those cables have a high failure rate without warning....
to confirm that it's your cable and not your drive, install your drive in an external usb enclosure and if you can boot your macbook when your drive is connected via usb, then it's your sata cable...

My macbook pro can't find my external drive after upgrading os

I have a macbook pro from 2009. I recently upgraded to Yosemite and now it won't read my external drive (Toshiba). I am able to find it in disk utility but I am not able to open it. The device works fine in other computers. I have all my pictures there. How can I fix this problem?

My MacBook Pro can't find the FireWire port

My MacBook Pro (OSX 10.6.8) can not find the FireWire port. Until now there hasn't been any problems using the FireWire, but now it just deny any knowledge of it, so to speak.
The audio device lights up when I connect it to the MBP (yes, I did connect it when in off-mode), so it seems to work in a way.
Does anyone recognize this problem and knows how to solve it?
