MacBook Pro internet connection problem.

Greetings everyone,
      I have a MacBook Pro that is my sister's and has been having intermittent connection issues on a wireless connection.  This has been tested on two different routers including a new Belkin N+ router.  The MacBook will connect to the internet and load approximately three pages before just hanging in a loading bar.  Restarting Safari or Firefox does not seem to resolve the issue.  I have looked for mDNSResponder and it is not active right now either, so I am unsure if that is an issue.  Any ideas on a possible resolution?  I'm running OS X 10.7.4.  Thanks in advance!!

I'm having the same issue.  did you happen to get it solved?

  • MacBook Pro Network Connectivity Problems

    Hi everyone!
    I am baffled with an issue connecting my MacBook Pro to the internet.  My wifi worked okay until about two or three months ago, when it stopped being able to automatically connect to networks.  I simply used my phone to pick up the IP/DNS information, and then entered it manually into network settings.  Then, last month, that solution stopped working, and I am unable to connect to any network via wifi or Ethernet, even when manually entering IP information.
    I have restarted my laptop and router multiple times.  Reset the PRAM.  Created a new location.  Deleted and added the network again.  Deleted network settings in Library.  Symptoms are not present on other wifi devices – other laptops and devices connect fine. 
    I am running OS X 10.8.
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks!

    If you're still on 10.8, then you need to update to 10.8.5 (which, itself, has some bugs) in order to rule out the bugs found in 10.8 through 10.8.4. Use the Combo updater -> http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1676.
    If, after updating, your connection problems persist, call back. There's no guarantee that updating is going to 'fix' your problem.

  • Macbook Pro Wireless Connection Problems

    I bought my 13 inch macbook pro 1 week ago and I've had wireless connection problems from day 2 (I think after the updates).
    Problems include:
    - Safari cannot connect to the internet for 5~10 minutes after I turn it on, whether it be from sleep mode or completely off or restart (the fastest connection I got after turning it on was about 40 seconds)
    - Loading takes ridiculously long and eventually Safari cannot find the server
    - Airport signal (on the top right hand corner) is always full when it is not working
    - Sometimes internet works but it is ridiculously slow
    However, when the wireless connection stabilizes, Airport Signal is 2~3 bars full and internet works SOOO well and I love it so much when it does. But the problem is that it stabilizes like 30 minutes to never after I turn it on and it makes me so mad I want to explode this piece of crap in the microwave.
    So I've called apple support, and they made me try four things:
    1. Reset modem, router, and computer
    2. Delete caches, reset Safari
    3. Putting Airport first on the Service Order and resetting DHCP Lease
    4. Connecting with Ethernet Cable then resetting the computer
    None of these worked, and I'm suspecting that the cause of the problem is the hardware (not the aluminum body that's just bs) because my router and modem are working fine (my other samsung laptop is working perfectly). I don't think the problem lies in my network settings either because I did exactly what the Apple technicians told me to do. So after Appleguy made me try all 4 of those diagnostics, he told me to contact my router company NETGEAR because he thinks nothing is wrong with the mac hardware, so I did. The NETGEAR lady told me if one laptop is working and another isn't, there is nothing wrong with the router. So if nothing is wrong with my hardware, software, router, modem, ISP... Why do I have wireless issues????!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
    I'm going to return this <edited by host> or get another one with my warranty

    Same thing here.
    I've got a Macbook Pro 15" bought 6 weeks ago, airport express bought about a year ago. All updated with latest software/firmware, etc. Problems include:
    -Sometimes when i pull down the network list, my network isn't even there, yet i'm still connected to it. My airport is appx 10 feet away in an open area.
    -usually after opening safari or firefox for the first time upon sleep, restart, or just opening the program after i had quit it, it is miserably slow. it takes about 2 minutes for pages like msn.com to load. finally when they do, its faster than you can imagine. that lasts for about a minute. then its slow again.
    -when logged into ichat and i send messages, i would sometimes get a "connection timeout" message. my buddy would end up getting the message about 5 minutes later.
    My iphone and dell laptop work fine. i haven't tried running parallels, but if bootcamp works, so should prlls.
    I've reset the modem about 20 times. i've reset the airport about 20 times. i even re-installed my OS on the mac and nothing has done it.
    Weird thing is that i've had my mac for 6 weeks, and this problem surfaced only 3 days ago.
    Clearly its not an issue of any of our ISP's. Due to the fact that this only started for me 3 dyas ago, i'm hopeful that its only a software problem and not something else. Hopefully apple will a) ADMIT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM HERE and b) FIX IT.

  • MacBook Pro internet connection failure.

    I have a 13" MacBook Pro with Lion and I connect it to Internet through WiFi. But in order to watch contents on a bigger screen I use to connect it to the TV as well via MiniDisplay Port-HDMI. But as soon as I connect it to the TV, the Internet connection is disrupted. If I disconnect it from the TV´s HDMI, the internet connection works as normally. What can be the cause?

  • MacBook Pro - HDMI Connection Problems

    I have connection my MacBook Pro to my TV with a HDMI cable. My docking station is now on my TV which isnt a problem but is when I unplug the HDMI cable to find that my docking station is not at the bottom of my laptop screen where it usually is. I've had a look around system preferences but cant seem to find anything. Anyone got any ideas??

    Thanks, but it doesn't work. Deleted both the files, emptied the trash, restarted and nothing. NO SIGNAL.
    I'm thinking that maybe there's something wrong with the tv. I remember when first trying to connect the DVI cable that there were some sparkles around the DVI. Maybe something got burned inside the tv.

  • New retina MacBook Pro - WiFi connectivity problems

    Dear all,
    I've recently purchased the new Haswell 13" retina MBP, and I'm having exactly the same WiFi connectivity problems the 2013 Airs had. I have a solid connection for a short time, and at irregular intervals it just drops out. All of my other devices are still connected and have no problems. I've tried with two different routers/modems, but the problem persists.
    Is this a known problem - with hopefully a software fix in the forseeable future, or do I need to return the MacBook?
    Many thanks in advance for your help,
    Nic

    I haven't got a Retina, but I do have the same wifi problem. And if you've looked at these forums, you'll see it's been going on for years and no one seems to have a handle on what the issue is. All I can say is if I were in your place I'd take it back and exchange it. You have the chance now, so take it.

  • Hello, my sister her macbook pro cannot connect to our wireless internet. My imac however can, so the problem has to do with her laptop. We were wondering how we could solve this problem? Thank you very much in advance!

    Hello, my sister her macbook pro cannot connect to our wireless internet. My imac however can, so the problem has to do with her laptop. We were wondering how we could solve this problem? Thank you very much in advance!

    We did that, but it just doesn't seem to be able to connect. So basically we tried to connect to our network and insert the password, but afterwards it does nothing. Weird thing is also that the network symbol (top right of the screen) says that it has been connected, but when I go look at the system preferences --> network, it states that it has not been connected

    Can you open a terminal and invoke the following commands:
    ping -c 10 localhost
    and
    ping -c 10 google.com
    You should normally get something like:

  • Macbook Pro cannot connect to the internet even when others can

    Hi! Please help me. We have an internet WIFI connection in our office but only my MacBook Pro cannot connect even when I entered the correct password. My Iphone and Ipad work just fine. It says "connection timeout" but all other laptops can connect. I tried network diagnostics already and it always say "connection timeout". I dont know what to do anymore.

    Yes, and when I open the Network Utility it shows a working IP address, and a 54Mb/s speed from the wireless router. It even shows the shared computers from my roomates. But when I try to access the internet it does not load anything on Safari or Firefox ( or any other internet application for that matter). It is completely unconnected. YET, As soon as I activate the AirPort card on the top right where I have my signal strength, it shows on the Network Utility information that there are 'packages' being sent and received, and I have NO programs open what so ever, I have closed everything except finder and network utility... Does this mean I am being hacked, or have some sort of Trojan or something in my computer? I ran an antivirus that my school provided, called Virex by McAfee, it came out clean except it says it cannot read one file.
    I tried repairing my disk, and that did not work either. I did the Ram reset like you suggested, but that also did not work. I doubt it being a hardware error. I am going to try to connect it to an ethernet cable to see if that will work. Then I will let you know what happens with that, but that would still not be a solution since I need it wireless, cause the router is in another part of the house.
    Thank you for your help, and I hope we can get this sorted out.

  • My macbook pro is connected to wifi but it will not connect to the internet.

    My macbook pro is connected to wifi but it will not connect to the internet. When I go on safari, it says that "Safari can't verify the identity of the website". Then I tried to update flashplayer but you need the internet to update it. All this only started happening after that Moutain Lion software was downloaded onto the laptop. Please help, I have been internet-less for a couple months now.

  • My macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

    my macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

    This can be caused by a number of issues.
    Was everything working and then suddenly stopped??
    Or is this a new clean setup and has never worked.
    Do you have a cable modem which is not a router and the TC setup in bridge? That will cause it. The TC must be in router mode, ie dhcp and nat.
    Check the IP the MBP gets including dns and gateway..
    Then check the ipad/iphone.. post what IP dns and gateway (router in applespeak) they get.
