MacBook Pro Disk Share Connection Failure

I have a MacBook and a MacBook Pro on an n-only wireless network hosted by an AEBSn in bridge mode.
The MacBook computer connects to the disk share without fail from within the local network or from the Internet. The MacBook Pro cannot connect from within the local network but can connect from the Internet.
Any thoughts?

craigsma,
You have a disk error that must be repaired. Boot to your OS X install disk, open Disk Utility, and run the "Repair Disk" function.
Unfortunately, this will repair your file system, and allow you to make a backup of your important data (maybe), but it will not repair damaged system files. Since it seems, from the problems you are having, that you definitely have damaged system files as a result of the disk error, you are going to have to format that disk, then reinstall OS X.
What you have experienced is a really, really common occurrance, and no call for alarm. It doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with your HD, but rather with its catalogue of files (which is damaged). It is especially common to see this with new computers, so there you are.
I recommend that you choose the "Zero All Data" option when you do format. It will take a while longer to format you disk this way, but doing so will map out any bad blocks on the HD, which may or may not be the root cause of your disk error. Using this option will help to insure that you will have no further disk errors in the immediate future.

  • Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air. In bootcamp i allocate the partition then i click install and bootcamp will not see the disk.

    Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (on my MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air via remote disk. In bootcamp (on my air) i allocate the partition, then i click install, and bootcamp will not see the disk from my macbook pro's drive. How do i get the bootcamp assistant running on my MB air to automatically find the disk in my macbook pro with the ISO image of windows 7? The remote disk on my air can find the cd but bootcamp will not begin installing it. Anyway to do this without buying the damned usb drive?

    I don't know first hand if you can use the Remote Disk option with Windows but as of 10.7.2 you can now use BCAssistant to make a bootable USB (thumb drive or external disk) W7 installer with the Boot Camp drivers installed also. Have you tried that yet?

  • 2008 MacBook Pro with wifi connectivity issues

    Hello all,
    My MacBook Pro has stopped connecting to my wireless internet at my house. Works fine when connected to the Ethernet, but no luck with wireless. My iPad, iPhone, and wife's MacBook Pro have no issues picking up the signal. When I attempted the network diagnostics, the wifi will not turn on. The button that enables you to TURN ON WIFI does not respond. I made a trip to the local apple store where they reset the wireless and it worked fine in the store. Took it home and same problem still existed.   Diagnostic report at the apple store showed no problems with wireless card.
    Any thoughts, comments, or wisdom would be appreciated!

    Apple released a firmware update for your MBP model to enable it to charge properly with the new-style adapters, after failures to do so were widely reported. Here's an article about the problem:

    And here's a link to the update:

    As with all firmware updates, it's essential to follow the installation instructions to the letter.

  • My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more.

    My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more. Was working while watching a movie but when I pulled it out from the computer and put it back in the system would no longer mirrorr the screen on the TV.

    The best option is an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.  The evaluation will be for FREE!

  • How do I print from wifi-connected MacBook Pro to printer connected via USB to Win7 PC?

    This is really frustrating, and I did not think that anything could be this difficult on a Mac. I have a Windows 7 Home Premium desktop PC connected via ethernet cable to wireless router, and a printer connected to the PC via USB. I recently bought my first ever Mac - a MacBook Pro, which is connected via wifi through the same router. All I want to do is to print files from the MacBook Pro on the printer connected to the PC. I have spent a LOT of time searching all over the web. Have tried some 2 or 3 different methods but none of them work for me, e.g. I shared the printer on the Win7 desktop and then added the printer on the MBP with the IP option with LPD/LPR Protocol, after enabling LPD Print Service on the PC. The printer gets added but when I give the command to print from the Mac, the print job shows up on the printer queue but the "Printing" soon changes to "Error Printing" (or something like that) and nothing gets printed. Then, I have to switch off the printer, remove the print job from the queue and switch on the printer again to get it out of the error state.
    I also tried setting up the printer on the MBP using CUPS Admin interface, i.e. localhost:631. Again, printer gets added but document does not print. The third way I tried to add the printer was using the Windows option in the Add Printer dialog, and typing in an smb: URL but no luck with that, either.
    Please, can anyone help me? This is driving me crazy
    Oh, and the devices are:
    1) Windows 7 Home Premium Desktop PC
    2) MacBook Pro running OS X Mountain Lion
    3) HP Deskjet F2110 printer
    Thanks...

    First Install Bonjour for Windows on your Windows machine. This will allow the printer to be discovered.

  • My MacBook Pro won't connect to the Internet, but my phone and PC will.

    My MacBook Pro won't connect to the Internet. My iPhone has no problem doing so, and neither does my PC. I think it's something to do with my DNS, but I'm not sure. My network connections say that both my Ethernet or FireWire are failed. What's wrong with my MacBook? Is there a simple way to fix this?

    If you are running Lion then all drivers are distributed through Software Update. You do not need to install anything, other than to install the printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan. If you already added the printer while it was connected using USB, you might want to delete it and set it up again wirelessly to avoid confusion. Or, give them two distinct names e.g. "Photosmart D110 (USB)" and "Photosmart D110 (wireless)".
    All scanning functions are now performed using Preview, but you can also access the scanner through the same Print & Scan preference pane, or with Image Capture.
    This HP document may help explain how driver software is distributed now:

  • How do I FTP files from a security camera to iCloud so they can be retrieved back to my MacBook Pro whenever I connect when travelling?

    How do I FTP files from a security camera to iCloud so they can be retrieved back to my MacBook Pro whenever I connect when travelling?
    Russ

    Do you want to watch the live feed of your secutiry cameras or recorded footage?
    In either case, I don't think iCloud is your solution.
    For the first one, check with your security camera software, they usually have this option of broadcasting, so you'll know how to access it.
    For the later, you should use something like Dropbox (www.dropbox.com), since iCloud file sharing is, up to this date, app restricted.
    Hope it helps.
