MacBook Pro V 10.7.5 won't connect to the Internet. My other laptop works perfectly fine but and so is my iPad, but when I try to connect with the MacBook, it only connects for a few minutes or it does not connect at all. It's driving me nuts, help!

My wifi only connects for a few minutes then goes away, I've been trying to look for solutions on the Internet but none of them work, help! It's really frustrating.

I can call my ipad with my iphone alll the time. That's how I check up on my kids at home when I"m at work. You just set up to your iphone's facetime setting with your phone number and set up your ipad's facetime settings with your apple id (in this case it's your email)

Hello everyone,
So I have a strange problem and I'll do my best to explain everything I've tried and my current setup.
Origonal setup (Was working then just completely stopped)
     Windows Server 2008 (non R2) on an old computer (Currently offline)
          System was Domain Controller, DNS Server, DHCP server and File server as well as running iTunes
New setup (Thought it would fix the issue)
     Windows Server 2003 (fully updated and freshly installed for the sole purpose of iTunes home sharing)
          Different system then the 2008 and only runs iTunes and AirVideo Server (not joined to domain, never was)
          Linksys router handling DNS, DHCP again since I found out about the .local bonjour "bug" so I shutdown my Domain Controller to test
I have a Linksys smart Wi-FI router (my old router was dropping wireless connections around the same time so I figured it was the router) with dual band wireless (Cortana and Cortana-2.4). The 2003 ("MediaCentral") is connected via a known good ethernet cable directly to the router. My Macbook Pro (Late 2012) is connected wirelessly to Cortana. All devices (including my parents iPhone 4's) are authorized under my Apple ID and signed into home sharing.
I start iTunes on my macbook and my iPhone 5 sees the library no problem. I start iTunes on server and my macbook and phone both see it. The server, however, does not see my macbook's library. (which isn't really a big deal anyways). I can connect to the servers library and start watching a movie, heck I can watch the entire movie, faster forword, rewind pause all that stuff. As long as I don't disconnect it seems to work fine. The movie I currently have in the library is Transforms: Dark of the Moon bought on the iTunes store. My parents iPhone's never see the servers library. Our Apple TV see's it the same way my phone does and also sees my macbooks library.
Here's where things really go weird: If I didn't connect to the servers library within a few minutes of starting iTunes, it will disappear or fail to connect and then disappear (I guess the only reason it didn't disappear earlier was because of like a cache or something) and the only way to make it available again is by restarting iTunes on the server. Those first few minutes are like the golden time frame I guess you can call it. I don't know exactly how long until it stops working but I know it's not a long time. Probably less then five minutes.
So there's my situation, can anyone provide any guidence or suggestions to help me solve this?
I will be setting up a new domain controller under server 2012 but with a different domain name (matrix.dustinschreiber.com probably) as to avoid the .local bonjour problem.

Same issue exactly. Best thing to di is contact Apple so that they become aware of this regression. Below is what I have been posting:
Home sharing with the new Apple TV / iTunes update is just broke. Only works for a bit unless you restart iTunes or disable / re-enable Home Sharing. Use to work great until the last updates. This is not a network (router, firewall, ...) issue - just a (bad) regression in Apples software. Hopefully they fix this soon, hard to believe its been broke this long already. The Remote app update also fails to connect to Apple TVs (but does connect to iTunes) for many people as well. Poor QA all around. :(
I have yet to see any suggestion that actually works other than reverting to previous versions of fwr / iTunes - which is a pain / joke to do.

Macbook already connected to wireless but still can not use the internet as other Laptop can use.

I just changed my Condo. Now I cannot connect my macbook to the internet even I already connect the wireless.
For other computer can use the internet when they connected to that wireless, except my macbook.
Please help to reply me.

I second this statement. However, before you go you should check "apple menu > system preferences > network"
Is your Airport visible here? If so, click on it and look for the "show Airport in menubar" checkbox.

Hello, I want to buy a macbook pro and I'm from Belgium. When there's something wrong with the macbook like the battery isn't that good anymore or another problem. Will I be able to fix my macbook at a Lab9 store, or send him to Apple?

And will I also be able to do that with the AppleCare packet? Or only if I have this?

The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

Now before anyone points out the obvious: my username and password are correct. I've already gone through changing them so I know they are.
Additionally, I've pretty much tried EVERYTHING I've read online, from messing with "terminal" (and subsequently the FTP and STFP options) to changing the sharing options and turning on file sharing/remote management as well as just turning off my Firewall completely.
Now I've used Filezilla before when I first published my site and everything worked fine. My site is published through Wordpress so most of my editing was done through simply logging into my "wp-login." I recently changed the theme and in order to change the header image in that theme I have to do it through my "wp-content" folder, which means I need to use Filezilla. I feel like a complete moron right now considering I've had my site for about a year and can't even doing something this simple.
I've read that the newer version of Lion/Mountain Lion don't support automatice FTP anymore, which (as I mentioned prior) I attempted to fix through Terminal. However, nothing I do seem to do works.
Can someone walk me through fixing this? And I do mean 'walk me through'. I'm not a tech-savvy nerd who knows all the lingo, I just know the basics so sorry if my ignorance offends you.
HELP!!

First be sure login and password are OK. Sometimes the address starts wit "http://..." and sometime starts with "ftp://...". Try both normal FTP access and Scure FTP access (SFTP). At the end, contact the site's provider.

(Firefox is so extremely slow, it's unbelievable (google needs about 1 minute to load). Every other browser works perfectly fine. How is that possible

I love Firefox and I still want to use it but my love doesn't go as far as waiting one minute for every page to load.
I deactivated every Plug in. I tried with the other versions Firefox offers (moon something).
I uninstalled several times and installed it again.
Please Help Me!!!!!!

uninstall the proxytube addon and set firefox to "use no proxy" under options > advanced > network > connection - settings... in order to get back to the normal browsing speed

When i try to charge my iPod anywhere it will charge for a while then it says "charging not supported with this accesssory" What do i do?

I tried charging my iPod and it did charge a little bit but then this came up

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

Open tabs that go unused for a few minutes no longer work and cause me to lose the page it was on.

I like to keep many tabs open at all times, and recently Firefox has started messing up my tabs whereas I've never had a problem with this before. I believe it started after the latest Firefox update.
As mentioned above, if a tab stays open but unused for a few minutes while working in other tabs, the site's logo next to the page's title (such as Amazon's "a" logo with the arrow under it next to "Your Orders" for example) gets replaced with the spinning green ring that usually indicates loading, but it spins much faster than it does when it's actually loading something. When you click on the tab to open it again, it is simply a blank tab and I'm forced to manually hunt down the page I was on again. However, when I log off my computer or restart it while the tabs have the spinning green rings on them, the next time I open Firefox after logging back in to my computer, it opens all the correct pages and tabs, but only if I didn't click on/open any of the tabs while they had the spinning green ring, thus rendering them back to blank tabs. If I click on a tab with the spinning green ring (rendering it blank) and then log off/restart and open Firefox again upon logging back in to my computer, Firefox will have indeed lost that page's information and it re-opens as a blank tab, as it was when the system logged off. To top it all off, if any tab(s) is/are doing that fast-spinning green ring glitch, it makes whatever I'm working on run slower, such as making a video lag that I'm watching on Youtube. If I notice that happening I'm forced to go click on the tab (losing its data in the process) and manually go back to the page I was on again just so it will stop doing the fast-spinning green ring and I can watch my video smoothly, but this only lasts for a few minutes before those pages start the green ring glitch once again and I have to repeat the process. Another oddity of note is that this only happens to tabs I actually click on and open during each session. If I restart or log off my computer and log back in and start up Firefox again, the green ring glitch doesn't happen to any of the tabs I don't touch during my session. It only happens to tabs I actually open during that session, but it happens to every single tab that I do I open during that session.
This is getting highly irritating and it's making working in Firefox a huge hassle, as it's happening constantly. PLEASE fix this. Firefox has never done this to me before, so I don't understand why it's happening now. I haven't downloaded or installed any new plug-ins or add-ons to Firefox so I know that I've done nothing to the program to cause this.
Thank you for looking into this for me. I look forward to hearing back ASAP and finding a remedy for this problem. This glitch is driving me crazy.

Are there any numbered sessionstore-##.js files in the Firefox profile folder
You can also check for problems with the sessionstore-backups folder in the profile folder.

IPhone does not connect to new Macbook Air 2013

Greating from Brazil,
I have an iPhone 4 and have always used to the USB cable to connect it to my macs. It works perfectly fine in onther 4 macbooks: one macbook white 2007, one macbook pro 2010 and a macbook air 2012.
Now I have the brand new macbook air 2013 and the iPhone is the only USB device I can not connect to it (all my external hard drives, wireless headphone work just fine). What happens is that when I connect the iPhone, it repeatly plays the sound as if it was connected, then it plays the sound as if it was disconnected.
What could I do to make it work?
Thanks
Gilson

I am trying to connect my Macbook pro 2010 to my Samsung HDTV using a mini display port to hdtv cable. Trying to play a slide show in IPhoto but I only get sound with no picture. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I am trying to connect my Macbook pro 2010 to my Samsung HDTV using a mini display port to hdtv cable. Trying to play a slide show in IPhoto but I only get sound with no picture. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I keep saying this over and over, in the hope that people who do a search will find it. Apple cannot possibly test for or be reponsible for the bazillion combinations of adapter, cables, and TV's out there. The only monitors that are 100% guaranteed to work with the MacBook Pro are the Cinema Displays and Thunderbolt Displays, because, they're made by Apple. They're expensive, but they work perfectly.
My guess is that you bought a cheap MDP to HDMI cable, or have a defective one. From my reading of these boards over the past few months, cheap cables have a high failure rate. And the regular priced ones have only a slightly less of one. Try a new one. Make sure you do not damage the Thunderbolt port.
