Macbook Pro Retina Aiport loses ISP conncetion but not Wi-Fi

My Macbook Pro (Retina) Airport will sporadically lose its ISP connection (it can't access the internet) without losing its wireless conncetion to the router.
It happens on multiple routers. I read that disabling the router's WPS setting could fix this and so I tried but to no avail.
The router does not lose connection to the internet as when it happens, other people using the router are still able to access the internet – it's just my laptop.
The quickest way of fixing it is to run the Network Diagnostics wizard which solves the issue instatly.
I've tried removing the network from my known networks and re-adding it.
I've refreshed my DHCP lease.
I've added custom DNS settings and then removed them again – both to no avail.
I'm not going through a proxy.
I'm running the latest version of OS X (no updates are available).
Any ideas are welcome.
Thanks!

I may be having this same issue with an Airport Express 2012 model and my MacBook Pro. The difference is that I have an IP camera that has an even harder time with the network than my laptop. When the issue occurs, the wifi signal is great but I'm getting very high packet loss when doing a ping to an IP address on my local network.
How do you get to the Network Diagnostics that you mentioned? I opened Network Utility and it strangely fixed itself...

Hi David. I don't have as modern a Macbook Pro as you, mine is a 2012 model, but perhaps I can help. I often find that my SD card will not load when I first insert it. I have to remove it and then put it into the slot again firmly.
You also haven't posted any information about the SD card. What size is it, do you know how it is formatted, has it worked in that same mac previously, where did it come from, does it currently work in another device (such as your camera)? This sort of information will help to narrow down the problem.
If you post some more information I'm sure people will try to help you. In the meantime, if you look at your post again you should see "More Like This" at the bottom of the page and you may find an answer in some of those related posts.
Hope that helps.

I have programmed iCal and Address book to sync via MobileMe. The info I type in iCal and Address Book on the MacBook Pro gets updated on the iPad, but not the other way around. Any hints?

Levi G B ... Also found another thread by Davidfromsurfside on 10/14/11 0703A with the same problem. I responded on his thread "I have the same problem. IOS5 on iPad1, iPad2 and iPhone4S all with iCloud on. Lion 10.7.2 installed on my MacBookPro and iCloud set up/on. Any new iCal entry on either iPad or on the iPhone ends up via iCloud on both iPads and iPhone. BUT NOT ON THE MacBookPro. And iCal entry on the MacBookPro does NOT GET SENT to iCloud.com or to either iPad or the iPhone. This is a huge problem for me because I do all my office scheduling on the iPad or iPhone but rely on the MakeBookPro to print out daily client lists. I REALLY need to get this fixed...it is causing major business issues. " No one so far has had a fix.... :(

Since my macbook pro is an intel core duo but not a core 2 duo, I cannot upgrade to Yosemite. So... what OS X can I upgrade to with this computer?

Since my macbook pro is an intel core duo but not a core 2 duo, I cannot upgrade to Yosemite. So... what OS X can I upgrade to with this computer? Thanks for the input.

Intel Core Duo is a 32-bit processor, so the latest Mac OS X version you can install is Mac OS X Snow Leopard -> http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
You are running Mac OS X 10.6.8, so you are already running the most recent Mac OS X version for your computer.

Windows 8 on boot camp on MacBook Pro retina w/external monitors = screen resolution not correct

how do i calibrate external monitors resolutions individually in windows 8 (like can be done in OS X) so that my MacBook Pro retina text isn't teeny tiny and my external monitors look normal? Is there a way to set the resolution and text size for each monitor separate from one another in Windows 8? Thanks for the help.

In Windows 8 use the help menu and search for external display.

MacBook Pro Retina says connected to ethernet, but will not connect

I have a MacBook Pro 13" Retina. It will not connect to my office's network no matter what I do. I've tried different cables, different ports, toggling wifi on and off, inspecting the ports to see if they will recognize other thunderbolt connections and they will. I was able to connect to a Thunderbolt monitor without any issues. It may be the adapter, but there are all kinds of funky-ness going on when I try to assess the network. The thunderbolt heading under System Information claims nothing is connected - even when communicating with the Thunderbolt display. The ethernet connection claims to be working, but will not connect to the internet. It also can't seem to find our router. I've tried to manually enter all the information in using the assistant, but it still can't find it. This is especially frustrating since this computer is under a year old. I can't take it to the Genius Bar because it is owned by my company and contains proprietary info. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello NotAppleSavy,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the computer wont connect to networks. I see you have used network diagnostic. I would recommend that you read this article, there are a lot of other things you can do in this article that may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

2012 Macbook Pro Retina battery loses charge quickly.

Any guesses or fixes? I do not abuse it in any way. Randomly in the last three days the battery has had about half the power it normally does. All I'm currently running on it are Firefox and iTunes, everything else is and has been closed since I noticed the problem.

Hello JLaT,
I definitely understand your concern with your battery on your MacBook Pro. I found a couple of resources that I think might help with this.
The first thing I recommend is resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) when the battery does not appear to be charging properly.:
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
You can find the full article here:

2011 Macbook Pro 13, green light on magsafe, but not charging, not powering on

Hi there, I have a Macbook Pro 13 early 2011 i5, and it's stoped working, when it's on the charger the green light comes on, when i pres battery indicator on the side of mbp there is only one green light flashing. when i press power button nothing hapends, mbp wont turn on, i have tried to do the reset, did not helped. Maby someone had, the same problem and knows how to fix it, or knows if its completle dead, and not worth to fix. Thanks

Take the machine to an Apple Store or an AASP and have them run diagnostics on it. They will give you a quote on how much it would cost to fix your machine. Then you can decide if it's worth repairing or if its just time to replace it.
I'm assuming that you didn't buy the extended AppleCare warranty? Too bad - if you had the machine would likely be repaired free of charge...

Early 2013 Macbook Pro Retina HDMI video to TV but no HDMI device under audio

HDMI output to TV works fine for Video but there is no device to switch to in audio setting, the HDMI cable is tested and working and the TV can recieve audio over HDMI. if the macbook can see that a HDMI cable is plugged in to send video why does it have no option to send audio?

Solved by switching to display mirroring rather than extended screen, no idea why this affects it and only on this TV.

My Macbook Pro Retina doesn't turn on but charger led works

I haven't used my mac for a month but it use to work perfectly fine. I tried to use it but it wouldn't turn on. When i plug the magsafe connecter the led goes orange. But when i press the power button it doesn't turn on. i tried smc reset using left shift, control and option (and power button) while charging and not charging but it doesn't work. Please help.

IF the battery was completely discharged, give it some time on the charger before trying to start up. The amber LED means it is charging, give it an hour or so before trying again.

How do I erase the free space on macbook pro retina?

I went to erase the free space on my MacBook Pro Retina in the Disk Utility but it says not available for this type of drive. Is there a way I can get around this?

You can't use Disk Utility to securely erase a Solid State Disk drive, because of the fact that SSD's have limited write capability, unlike hard drives, thus have to protect the sectors from as little writes as possible.
In fact TRIM (wear leveling) is enabled to write new data to the least used sectors on a SSD each time.
The NSA guidelines for secure data destruction on SSD's is to grind them into a fine powder.
If you don't require this level of data destruction, you can do this trick below, but not often or you'll premaurely wear out your SSD.
Finder > Duplicate a small file repeatly in a folder until slightly more than 50% of the remaining free space on the SSD is used up, (use Activity Monitor) then delete this folder.
Then duplicate a different small file repeatly in another folder in the same manner.
What this will do is, because of the small file, OS X will fill the smallest unused spots on the SSD, the duplicates will fill the remaining free space half way, then the second folder will (because of TRIM) fill the other remaining 50% of the free space.
You can't fill your boot drive or the machine can refuse to function or boot, but because of the wear leveling this should overwrite all your available free space on the SSD once.
If you have a laptop and TimeMachine, there is a hidden database on the boot drive which will store a copy of the deleted data.
Then there is "versions" and it's possible a copy of the deleted data is stored in that cache file still on the SSD.
I can advise how to delete the TimeMachine backup file on the boot drive, but not the "versions" database or what it contains.
How do I securely delete data from the machine?
If your really paranoid it's likely best to reformat the entire MacintoshHD partition from recovery and then with a new user, then do the Finder > Duplicate procedure to overwrite the deleted data off the SSD, this way the "versions" and TimeMachine databases are also overwritten.
Nothing is safe anymore.
