MacBook Pro wireless help

Hi Group,
I have a new Mac Book Pro (OS X LION 10.7.2) which I am tring to wirelessly connect to my iMAC (OS X 10.6.8) via the iMac's internet sharing wi-fi connection.  But to no luck.  The connection is timed out.  Any suggestions?  would a stand alone wireless route solve the issue? 
Thanks for any help.

Hi again,
I used a WEP password from a 64 bit WEP password generator, and low and behold, it now works fine.  I still don't know what was "wrong" with my previous password.  Not hexanumeric enough??? anyway things seem to be working.
Thanks for your help

    You need to get some software that allows your Mac to read and write to the NTFS disk.  There's a whole bunch of stuff out there, but this program has a good review, and you can try it for free.  I would move everything off of your external drive, reformat it into Mac OSX extended, and use it for your Mac.  You don't need NTFS anymore, unless you still have a Windows computer that needs it.

    Firstly, the HP printer must be connected to the ASUS' network. Then, simply connect your MBP to the network and your printer should be addable in Print & Fax in System Preferences.

    After identifying the exact connectors you need, check the Apple Store online and/or eBay...you should be able to buy a cable with the correct connector on each end, rather than fooling with an adapter.

    I have just upgraded to the new OS X V. 10.10.3 but cannot access my iCloud Drive documents using the resident Pages and Numbers software on my MacBook Pro. Help is needed to access those documents using the resident software on my MacBook Pro rather than the Beta software on iCloud.com.

    I have iCloud Drive set on the Finder sidebar and use that to open the Numbers Spreadsheet on iCloud.

    I cannot find the eMac install disk, and I haven't been able to get it to start up from my 10.3 CDRm (holding down option or c), though I read something somewhere about these not being able to start up from system folders earlier than those they shipped with. I've dealt with this sort of thing several times before, and it always seemed to work to simply use target disk mode.
    It definitely won't start up fromt the 10.5 DVD-R, and I'm pretty sure I tried putting the MBP into TM to use its optical drive as well, but it didn't work. But it's worth trying again, and I appreciate your input greatly.

  • I want to connect my ps3 to my macbook pro wirelessly.

    I want to connect my ps3 to my macbook pro wirelessly, my macbook pro is connected to the internet via ethernet.

    OS X offers a feature known as Internet Sharing. With this feature enabled, the Mac Pro would perform as a "software" router. If the Mac Pro has built-in wireless (AirPort), you could then use this feature to share the Mac Pro's wired Internet connection via AirPort to the PS3.

    Replacement System Discs can be obtained from Apple's Customer Support - US (800) 767-2775 for a nominal fee. You'll need to have the model and serial number of your Mac available.
    If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html

  • Have MacPro wired to Verizon DSL; how do I add MacBook Pro wireless?

    I have a MacPro connected with an Ethernet cable to a Westell WireSpeed modem that is plugged into the wall phone jack served by Verizon DSL. The MacPro does not have an Airport card. My wife wants to connect her MacBook Pro with built-in Airport Extreme 802.11n wirelessly to the internet.
    I've never used a router before. Would an Airport Extreme Base Station let me operate the MacPro wired and the MacBook Pro wireless simultaneously? If not, how can I do it?

    Yes, the AirPort Extreme or any other vendor's wireless router with a built-in Ethernet switch will provide for both wired and wireless clients simultaneously.

    The Hardware Test detected a RAM problem.  Take out the chips and make certain that the connections are clean and reinstall them.  Make certain that they are well seated. 
    If the problem occurs again, test with one chip at a time.  Also swap bays if necessary.
    Please indicate if you have installed new RAM and if so what brand and the specifications.
    Ciao.

    I'd like an answer to this one too. I need to backup my iphone5 and am getting the same message. My old laptop is pretty full. Isn't there a way to choose an external hard drive to back up to? If there is, I don't see it.

  • Pix from the iPhone to the MacBook Pro wirelessly?

    How do I get my pix from the iPhone to the MacBook Pro wirelessly? The iCloud ads give the impression that I can do that.
    Thanx!

    Thanx for the response!
    The Mac is running OS X 10.7.5, and the iPhone is running iOS 6.1.3. iPhoto on the Mac is 9.4.3.
    **** .... and appear in iPhoto on your Mac, when the camera is closed, .... ****
    Does "closed" mean, power off?
    **** Note: only photos taken after turning on photo stream are uploaded, not earlier photos. ****
    Once I turn Photo Stream on, in iPhoto, does it stay on all the time? Do I cahe to click somewhere for te pix to upload from the iPhone to the Mac?
    The "automatic" part isn't working.
