Macbook Pro + Virgin Mobile USB Modem + WiFi Time Capsule = No Internet :(

Helping a friend with this. Can connect to Internet OK w Virgin Mobile USB modem. When he then connects to Time Capsule via WiFi, the Internet stops working. Turn off WiFi and it starts working again.
I looked at the routing tables and both interfaces are set as default. I disabled default on the WiFi interface but had no effect. Here is the output of the netstat -rn command. If anyone has any insight it would be appreciated.
Internet:
Destination        Gateway            Flags        Refs      Use   Netif Expire
default            68.28.49.71        UGScI          10        0    ppp1
10.0.1/24          link#5             UCS             8        0     en1
10.0.1.1           0:24:36:a3:d5:da   UHLWI           0        1     en1   1149
10.0.1.2           127.0.0.1          UHS             1        4     lo0
10.0.1.255         ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff  UHLWbI          3       33     en1

127.0.0.1          127.0.0.1          UH              0      130     lo0
169.254            link#5             UCS             0        0     en1

What's the ordering of the interfaces in System Preferences : Network? My first guess would be it's favouring the wifi by default so you will need to change the ordering.

  • How do I backup my MacBook Pro and Mac Mini to 1TB Time Capsule

    I cannot backup my MacBook Pro (osx 10.8.2) on Time Capsule using Time Machine. The following Time Machine error message appears: The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data-1/BARBARA’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use. There is no problem when I use Time Machine to backup Mac Mini (osx 10.6) on same 1TB Time Capsule.

  • My MacBook Pro (new 13") losses connection with Time Capsule.

    My new Pro 13" will lose connection with Time Capsule every day. I also back up a MacBook Air (about 1 year old) that maintains connection. If I reboot Time Capsule the Pro will connect and backup to it but will lose the connection the next day. Does anyone have any idea how to address this?

    You may want to take your question to the Time Capsule forum - while all of us here use MacBook Pros, the real Time Capsule experts hang out on that forum.
    Good luck,

  • New MacBook Pro Retina can't find new Time Capsule.

    I have a new MacBook Pro Retina, for which I am trying to set up a new Time Capsule.  The Time Capsule is attached by Ethernet cable to my modem, and I have opened Airport Utility.  The Time Capsule is continuously blinking amber, and Airport Utility says "No configured Airport base stations have been found." Has anyone else had this problem?

    Thank you for your prompt reply.  Yes, I am running OS 10.8.2.

  • MacBook Pro - 802.11n, WPA2-Personal and Time Capsules

    I recently moved to using 802.11n (5GHZ) mode on my Time Capsule using WPA2-Personal security. I am unable to connect to the wireless network which is extremely frustrating since this is all Apple hardware. I have no problem connecting to the 802.11n 5GZ network using one of my PCs.
    My MacBook Pro has the latest software updates available and does have 802.11n enabled.
    I have been looking for similar issues on the forum and have tried a few things that were suggested by others, but nothing works. I've reset the router. Reset the SMU. Haven't reset NVRAM yet.
    I have a mix of Apple and PC hardware that is connecting to this network. My 24" Intel iMac (Core 2 Duo) connects just fine.
    I'm hoping there is a GURU on this forum that can assist me.
    Thanks,
    J.d.

    I would try:
    1. Examine your system.log for the error you are getting, if you cannot authenticate with the router it will say why. Go to the Apple icon, select "About this Mac", select "more info" button in the center, select "Log" under Software on the left panel side, select "system.log" then scroll to the bottom, look for errors in the log related to "airport" or 802.11...
    2. Go to Finder/Utilities, pull up keychain access.app, click on System on the left, you should see an entry for your WIFI network, delete that entry, close Keychain access.
    3. Try removing, reboot then re-add your Aiport entry. Go to System Parameters, Network, highlight "Airport" click on the minus button and remove it. Reboot your computer. When it comes back up go back to System Parameters, Network, then click on the button and re-add the Airport, when it says Airport 2, over write that with just "Airport", then click on Advanced, click on button to add the Preferred Network back in, type the name of the SSID on your router, then select WPA2 Personal from the drop down menu type. You can also display the password to confirm it matches what you input in the router for the password for WPA2 Personal.
    Under TCP/IP, if you are getting a private IP address from the router via DHCP, then set IPv4 to DHCP. I would not use IPv6 for time being, set that to Off. Next click on your DNS and input your DNS if not automatically filled in by the router with DHCP, I always like to add a DNS not provided by the router that way if it fails or you go to Starbucks you will always have a DNS entry that works, I would input OpenDNS's entries, so those would be under IPv4:
    208.67.222.222 and other is
    208.67.220.220
    So to connect, your computer needs to have an IP address, either DHCP or manually input (like 192.168.1.xxx) etc.
    Next you need a DNS entry if not provided for by your router (should be if it is dishing out DHCP client addresses).
    WINS and Proxies are only used in corporate environments where they are using a windows domain and/or proxy servers as a gateway to the WAN.
    WPA2 Personal offers much better security than WPA or WEP shared, if you use a password make it at least 8 characters in length 10 is better. The longer you make it the higher the security, but it must match exactly what the password was set for WPA2 on the router.
    TO make sure you are not having signal/noise problems get as close to your router as you can to establish the connection once that is done you can move farther away.

  • I have a MacBook Pro 13" and am using Airport Time Capsule and iCloud. I delete my cookies all the time, but every so often the cookies reappear after rebooting. It is the exact same amount of cookies each time, so I wonder why they're being reloaded?

    I have a MacBook Pro 13" (2010) running OS X 10.9.2   and have Airport Time Capsule. I routinely delete my cookies and often (every couple days or so) when I reboot, a number of cookies reappear in my Safari settings. The number of cookies that reappear is exactly the same when it does it (351 cookies) so I'm wondering if it is related to my Airport Time Capsule or possibly iCloud? How do the cookies get back into my MacBook Pro? Or.... Have they ever actually left? Befoer I reboot, I delete them and sometimes they stay gone for 24hrs or more, but then reappear the next time I reboot. Can someone tell me if there is a way to clear the cookies so they won't come back?

    Blocking all cookies in Safari does not work. Deleted cookies will not stay deleted. There are numerous threads on this going back years, both in these forums and elsewhere. Many claim to have submitted the issue to Apple, but I have never seen anyone post a reply.
    I have seen many suggested fixes that involve finding the cookies file, some including Terminal manipulations, and none seems to work universally. I can find noplace where Apple addresses this officially with an actual Apple-approved explanation or how-to.
    Bottom line, your browser's security features should do what they claim: delete cookies. When they come back without ever even visiting another page, this is clearly not working in the way a reasonable user would expect.
    Bottom line, Safari does not protect users' privacy in the way it pretends to and, after so many years of this issue, it appears that Apple wants it this way.
    Having spent way too much time on this, I realize the choice is between Safari which is pretty well optimized; Firefox which is a lot pokier, at least for me; and Chrome, which I assume funnels personal information directly to Google.

  • Can my NEW MacBook Pro mirror my MacMini through the Time Capsule?

    I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro w/Retina Display.  I also have a MacMini about one year old which is tied to my Time Capsule for backup.  What process does it take to make certain that tasks I perform on either device will sync with one another?  In other words, I would like the data on both to be identical as tasks are performed such as that which happens with the iPhone, iPad etc when an address is changed for example within the Contacts.  Thanks!

    As long as they're all logged into iCloud with the same account, they should all show the same Calendar, contacts, etc.

  • I used Migration Assistant to copy data to an new MacBook Pro from an old via my Time Capsule. When asked if to inherit time machine history on the new Mac, I mistakenly said no. How do I go back one step to say yes?

    There isn't enough space on the Time Capsule to create a separate backup of the data on the new MacBook. And I am reluctant to delete old backups of the old MacBook to create space to backup the new machine. This occurred about 3 weeks ago so the data on the two machines are now out of sync. If I start over by formatting the new MacBook and rerunning Migration Assistant to pull data from the Time Capsule, how do i preserve the last 3 weeks of data on the new MacBook, considering that I didn't keep track of which files changed in the last 3 weeks?

    All the rest of the stuff is where it should be.  As best I can tell. I have been going through my programs one at a time to see what works.  With the change in the OS (Launchpad? What the heck?) I am finding a significant number of my old programs are not working. Some I have found upgrades.  But without a working mail program, the machine is pretty useless for work.
    The Apple techies had me run through 3 hours of 'stuff' (holding down keys and restarting, etc, etc).  It still does not launch. I think we are waiting for a 'miracle', but I need to know now if they should just come get this piece of junk or if they really are able to find a solution in a timely manner.

  • Brand new MacBook Pro w/ Mountain Lion and latest Time Capsule

    Will the latest version of Time Capsule (2TB) - MDO 032 LL/A work with my brand new  late 2012 Mac Book Pro recently received with Mountain Lion (version 10.8.1). Are there any issues?

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Quit Mail.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you'll have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.

  • Imac using mobile USB modem; PC connects but won't open webpages?

    Using a Clear 4GB mobile USB modem on my iMac for internet; My wireless PC with the Clear Connection Manager installed gets connected with a strong signal, but then will not connect to any website. Used the PC connection wizard stuff until it got to usual pc deep mumbo jumbo, not helpful, I'm NOT a PC guy.
    Any plain English suggestions would be most welcome! Clear wants to sell me another $140 device to share the wireless with other devices, no way.

    What modem script or software has Clear furnished you? In as much as you are paying them for the modem and the service they should be making sure you connect. In my experience the modem is usually furnished free for a two year service contract.

  • How to use an iPhoto library, stored on an external HD connected via USB to a Time Capsule ?

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook Pro Retina 15", connected to a Time Capsule.
    My iPhoto library is stored on an external HD, connected to the Time Capsule via USB.
    I want to sync my photos with my iPhone (iOS 7.1)
    The issue is that iTunes can't display anything in the "photos" tab, within the iPhone section in iTunes.
    The search icon is turning, turning, even for hours, and then impossible to activate the sync between iPhoto and the iPhone.
    What I do not understand, is that it works very well when the same HD is connected directely to my MacBook via USB.
    Why is the sync impossible when the HD is connected to the Time Capsule ?
    I have been told that storing an iPhoto library on a network HD is not recommended by Apple, but it seems to work for many users, according to forums.
    So I would grant the feedback from users that have a similar configuration to mine.
    Thanks
    Stéphane

    I have been told that storing an iPhoto library on a network HD is not recommended by Apple, but it seems to work for many users, according to forums.
    Hmm, well you experience rather contradicts the forums, no? iPhoto is not designed for network access, end of story. If you try use it that way then things fail.
    See this article
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5168
    for more. Note the comment:
    “Additionally, storing the iPhoto library on a network rather than locally on your computer can also lead to poor performance or data loss.”

  • HT201250 which external hard drive should I choose/use as I am setting up Time Machine on my MacBook Pro 15 for the very first time?

    Which external hard drive should I use/choose as I am setting up Time Machine on my MacBook Pro 15 for the very first time?

    Any of these SATA HDDs that are at least the same size as your internal HDD (preferably larger capacity).  In addition you will need an enclosure, preferably one with a Firewire as well as a USB connection.

  • Wifi doesn't work on macbook pro when not on home wifi

    I recently have encountered a problem - when I take my 2013 macbook pro Processor  2.6 GHz Intel Core i5 flash drive. I have no problem accessing wifi in my office but when I travel with my macbook pro and try to access wifi at locations I have had connections with before, I am unable to search. The triangle is clearly connecting with the wifi and the drop down shows that the correct connection has been reached. However, my dropbox icon is gray which is an indication that there isn't an internet connection and I have no access to firefox or safari. Please advise.

    Ah, that's OK then.

  • My early 2011 Macbook Pro on start up has wifi, but drops it soon after and never comes back, AHT shows nothing wrong. Multiple wifi's tried and same on all.

    My early 2011 Macbook Pro on start up has wifi, but drops it soon after and never comes back, AHT shows nothing wrong. Multiple wifi's tried and same on all.  I have also re-installed OSX from scratch and still happens.

    I have the same problem. I have a white macbook 2010, with mavericks os. I just found my mac not powering on and then I tried to run it on safe mode by holding the shift button but it will turn off seconds after I let go of the shift button. I am able to access the desktop and use it while holding the shift button the whole time. It's a bit slower than before but I figured maybe it's because of holding down shift button.
    I went to the Apple Store to have them look at my mac and I was told it's a failed hard disk. I wasn't told why he was able to conclude that a failed hard disk is causing the problem, I was just told to get a replacement. But the thing is when I ran Disk Utility it says, "disk appears to be okay." So I also feel like it's possible it's not a hard disk issue because it's also the first time it happened. My mac was working perfectly fine before all this.
    Do you know anything else that could cause this problem? Were you able to find out what's wrong?
    Thanks.
