MacBook Pro won't connect to home wifi, but will connect to other networks

Help! MacBook Pro won't connect to home wifi but will connect to other networks. Others can connect to my home network. I've tried diagnostics, resetting the router, restarting my computer, and forgetting the network and then trying to access it. Nothing works.

  • MacBook Pro won't connect to wireless network unless tilted

    Hi! My MacBook Pro occasionally has trouble connecting to the wireless network in my house, but that can usually be solved by turning Airport off and then back on. Today (very suddenly), Airport disconnected from my network and could not find it again. I tried restarting my MacBook Pro and router multiple times. Finally it was able to connect, but here's the thing: it only works if my MacBook is tilted at an angle. If I try to open a webpage while the MacBook is sitting normally on a flat surface, the page won't load. If I lift one side of the MacBook so that it's tilted at a 45 degree angle, the page will load. Once it's level again the internet will stop working and the Airport signal bars will turn gray.
    I've never come across a problem like this before. Everything was running fine this morning. It is so strange and I have no idea what to do! Help, please? Is my Airport dying? Is something loose inside? My MacBook Pro is about 4 years old.

    Delete your network from system preferences, network, advanced.
    re enter your network you wish to join
    If that fails then do a PRAM reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
    and a SMC reset

    Maybe something to do with the motion sensor
    if so try resetting the SMC

  • Macbook pro won't connect to wireless network

    hi, hopefully somebody could give me an advice!
    i purchased a 13.3 inch macbook pro yesterday and i'm in love...except for the fact that it will NOT connect to my wireless network. i have been using a linksys WRT45G version 6 router for many years with no problems (currently have 3 computers linked to it - all pc's). i've updated the firmware but still no luck.
    the macbook pro is able to see the network but can not join - it gives me a generic "connection failed" message when putting in the WEP password. i consider myself to be techno-savvy, but not with macs! i'm completely lost and equally frustrated. help, please!

    Hi guys,
    I seem to have a similar problems. It is starting to occur this afternoon and somehow i cant fix it.
    I have just installed my Snow Leopard about 3 days ago... and it was working fine. This afternoon I had a problem with my modem, but after resetting it about 3 times it was working fine again. So i tried to connect to it wirelessly but it kept saying 'connection timeout'. It becomes really annoying at the point of resetting the modem to its factory default settings. But then, i tried using the ethernet cable. It seems to be working fine for now. I tried connecting it through my home computer 'wirelessly' and it seems to be working fine. What I am wondering now is that, why doesn't my MacBook Pro connects wirelessly? Anyone has any idea?
    PS: I have tried changing the channel of my modem and it doesn't do much.
    Thanks

    You can't boot OS X with a Windows boot device.
    Internet Recovery is the next step. Follow ssls6's advice.

  • Macbook Pro won't connect to WIFI

    Help! My new Macbook Pro won't connect to my home's existing WIFI network. The other computers (PCs) are running on it without a problem but when I try to join the network it rejects my password as being incorrect, though it definitely is the right one!

    Check to make sure the Caps Lock is off.
    What type of wireless security are you using? If it's WEP Mac's don't do WEP anymore and you will need to change it to WPA or WPA2.

  • My MacBook Pro will not connect to my home wifi but will connect everywhere else. My other Apple devices (I-pad, I-touch, another MacBook Pro) connect to the router without problems. It was working fine but all of a sudden stopped working.Thanks!

    try this.
    get back into your router's settings and start deleting devices that are not connected to your router.
    you can also delete the ones that are connected - they'll connect again.
    on the DHCP side of it, increase the amount of users that can connect/log in to your router.
    see if that sorts it out for you.
    good luck.

  • Macbook Pro won't connect to wireless printer anymore suddenly

    Suddenly my Macbook Pro won't connect to my HP Photosmart B210e Printer.  I have tried adding it via IP address, it worked but I can't print anything.  It says the printer is busy and idle?  I updated the software and drivers.  All other computers and devices in my home connect just fine.  It is connected to our wireless router as is my laptop.
    I have searched online and done all the solutions I could find and nothing is working.  VERY frustrated as I have to log onto my Dell to print anything.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    "It says the printer is busy and idle?"
    System Preferences>print and Scan. What is the staus of the printer? Green light for idle or yellow light for in busy? Have you tried power down the printer and paowering it back up?

  • My MacBook Pro won't connect to the Internet, but my phone and PC will.

    My MacBook Pro won't connect to the Internet. My iPhone has no problem doing so, and neither does my PC. I think it's something to do with my DNS, but I'm not sure. My network connections say that both my Ethernet or FireWire are failed. What's wrong with my MacBook? Is there a simple way to fix this?

    Since you have already isolated it down to your home network, if following Steve's instructions do not fix your issue, contact your Internet Service Provider or Router Manufacturer and make sure your network is set up according to this information: iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points

  • Hp 7525 Photosmart printer won't scan to my PC but will scan to other PCs on the LAN

    Hp 7525 Photosmart printer won't scan to my PC but will scan to other PCs on the LAN.  I tried to install the printer software but it says it is already installed.  Do I have a security setting wrong?
    Other PC names show up on the printer's touch screen but not mine.  We are all on the same wireless subnet with the printer at a fixed IP address.
    I can print from my PC and scan from my PC but I can't scan from the printer touchscreen to my PC.

    Hi,
    You may have to start from your computer first:
        Double click printer icon on desktop,
        Select Manage Scan to Computer
        Click Enable -
        Restart your printer to see, is your machine in the list ?
    Regards.

  • MacBook Pro Won't Connect to the Internet

    Hi hi. Okay, I've noticed this unusual behavior in my MacBook Pro (Intel Core Duo, 2.4 GhZ, 15-inch, probabl 2 months old now) just last night. It connects to the wireless network but will not load any webpages. If I type in www.google.com or so, it says Contacting "www.google.com" and it stays on it and the page remains blank. I'm writing this from my MacBook which seems to connect fine to this wireless network. The problem persists in the MacBook Pro when I'm on XP (boot camp) and when I'm on Leopard. I've restarted the machine and everything but it still occurs. Prior to me discovering the problem, I think the MacBook Pro was asleep for 2 days (in XP).
    I've opened Network Diagnostics in Leopard and it detects the wireless network and everything but then it says it needs a WEP password. But the MacBook can join this same network without a password. I access the university network (from a dorm) so while you don't have to have a password to connect to the internet, you only log in when you open an internet browser and then sign in with the student ID (but its not the WEP password, if that makes sense). Basically, I can't acess the internet if I don't log into the internet and of course even the university login page won't show up. Can anyone please help me? It's driving me nuts. Thanks!
    P.S.- I've been hearing other MBP users having this problem but I don't know if I installed the Airport Update, and restarting doesn't help either.

    Your OS is shown as 10.4.7, but most people who are having problems similar to yours have later versions of Tiger or Leopard. If you're running a later version than 10.4.7, please update your settings for this.
    Some people, including me, have found that setting the router to "G-only" mode solves the problem (at least until Apple fixes the problem in a software release.) Please post a reply or email me as to whether this works for you.
    TIA
