Macbook Pro won't stay connected to my pc based netowrk

I am new to mac. I have a PC network and if I reboot my macbook pro (early 2011) it will connect fine to all the computers but after a certain amount of time it will disconnect from them and won't be able to see the computers. My mac is still able to connect to the internet just fine without any issues. Any suggestions?

iTunes would open, and it would say error 9, or error 1611, I do apologize for missing that bit, looking up the error, it seems usb related, but all my other USB devices and mp3s work fine on my USB hubs, no matter which I use for the ipod, it does it.
Edit: forgot to mention that it ONLY saw it in recovery mode, and everytime I would try to restore it would give those same errors, had to restore it on my fiances PC this morning.

Ok, in theory you cannot lock the hard drive, so, run Disk Utlities, First Aid, Repair Hard Drive again. It should come back with a message that all is OK. Then run Repair Permissions. That often returns a lot of messages that are not actually problems, just grumbling by the system.
Then try a normal restart by clicking the apple left side of the menu bar, Restart. If you restart normally all is fine.
If not, then restart on the recovery HD again and try an Install Mac OS X and see if that succeeds this time.

MacBook Pro won't stay asleep with external monitor attached. When sleep is selected from the Apple menu the computer will go to sleep only to continually wake up...go back to sleep...wake up...etc. every few seconds.

MacBook Pro won't stay asleep with external monitor attached. When sleep is selected from the Apple menu the computer will go to sleep only to continually wake up...go back to sleep...wake up...etc. every few seconds. This only happens when using the external monitor. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Mine does that too. The worst thing is when it goes to sleep, then wakes up and keeps running while the lid is closed and it is wrapped up in a case. I am afraid when the hot weather comes it is going to burn up. I am hoping Apple fixes it in the software or they may have a melted MBP to replace.
Then when I open the lid it is crashed running at fill tilt, pumping out heat to beat the band. I am forced to hold the button down and reboot.
I wiped my hard disk and reinstalled my OS, but it didn't help. I reversed my OS to 10.5.0 and it solved the DVI problem but still won't sleep. This post will probably be deleted by Apple, they did it a few days ago. I just don't know what to do, and I consider myself a real Apple expert. Just hoping you realize you are not the only one.

MacBook Pro won't stay awake with external display AND power connected

I've been using my MacBook Pro with an external 23" Apple display for several months, always with the lid closed and with no problems. Suddenly, I can no longer keep the MacBook awake when its lid is closed. *The AC power IS connected.* I plug in the display, close the lid, wake the system with my external keyboard, but then it will quickly go to sleep again after a few seconds. No matter what I've tried I get the same behavior.
Perhaps coincidence, perhaps not, I installed the Leopard graphics update a few weeks ago. Could this be a cause?

Apple did actually acknowledge this as a known issue with people running 10.5.2 with the graphics update, and are investigating it. There's some further discussion at this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1394449&tstart=0
Anyway, what worked for me was powering down, connecting my external display, keyboard, etc., powering up, and immediately closing the lid. It seems to behave better now, though I haven't rebooted since, although I have switched back and forth between running with the external display, and running without it, without any problems.

Macbook Pro will not stay connected to 3Play Bluetooth Receiver

Hello. My brand new Macbook Pro Retina (2.3 Ghz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3, 500 GB memory, OSX 10.9.5) paired with the 3Play immediately and connected immediately, but would not stay connected over ten seconds. My IPad and my android Galaxy phone work perfectly. One website suggested that you have to download bluetooth explorer from Apple Developer and enable Apt-X. I could not find a download of that type on the Apple Developer site. Does anyone have a suggestion? I am brand new to OSX and am still kind of stumbling my way through; in other words, I am less than a novice! Thanks!

My Macbook pro won't stay closed, battery drains ...

As you all know the previous generation Macbook Pro latch system is not so good unlike the new models that come with a magnetic latch, is there any way I can add a magnetic latch system to my macbook pro? I know it would be a third party part, does anybody have any idea???

I am surmising that the computer is not off, but asleep; in which case the computer would wake up if the case became ajar.

Macbook Pro will not stay connected to the internet

It appears that I am not alone in this problem, but none of the troubleshooting is helping.
There seems to be no trigger, but randomly 0-10 minutes the internet stops working on the Macbook. Sometimes restarting the wireless helps, most of the time it does not.
I know that my network/internet are working fine because all of our other devices stay connected with the Macbook drops. Is there a easy fix that I missed?
Thanks,
Mike

Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 2
Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
Step 4
Open the Energy Saver pane in System Preferences and unlock the settings, if necessary. Select the Power Adapter tab, if there is one. Uncheck the box marked
Wake for Wi-Fi network access
if it's checked.
Step 5
Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
Step 6
In the Wi-Fi settings, select
Advanced... ▹ TCP/IP ▹ Configure IPv6: Link-local
Click OK and then Apply.
Step 7
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 8
Reset the PRAM.
Step 9
Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
Step 10
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

My macbook pro won't automatically connect to wifi

My computer is showing it is connected to the internet via wifi but my page won't load and gives me a message that Safari cannot connect to the internet. When I run the diagnostics it tells me my connection is fine.

Macbook air won't stay connected to my desktop

My new book air seems to drop connection from my desktop. I thought the airport connection is sufficiant. Do I need another peripheral?

I'm having this issue, as well. I have 2 MacBooks and they both lose WiFi after waking-up from sleep. Ever since Lion came to town, this has taken a poop in the connectivity bed.
I state a preferred network, yet after waking up it is no longer connected or grabs some random network. I've tried to tell it only preferred, but it keeps doing its own thing.
VERY ANNOYING.... especially when they fixed the iMac for the issue I am describing. Ughhh.

MacBook Pro won't stay asleep, treats shutdown as restart

My MacBookPro 13" in Snow Leopard 10.6.8 will not stay asleep. In the console, I see 10/17/11 6:09:28 AM kernel Wake reason = RTC, then all the networking comes up, a few other things, and it tries to go back to sleep again - writes out to the safesleep hibernation, then, boom. Awake again:
10/17/11 6:09:49 AM kernel Wake reason = RTC
Yes, 21 seconds later.
All night long. If it's not plugged in, it's dead by morning.
Yes, I've zapped PRAM and reset SMC.
It's not always like this, but when it is, and I attempt to shutdown, as soon as it turns off, it turns back on again. In my mind, that stinks of hardware.
Anyone?

Mine does that too. The worst thing is when it goes to sleep, then wakes up and keeps running while the lid is closed and it is wrapped up in a case. I am afraid when the hot weather comes it is going to burn up. I am hoping Apple fixes it in the software or they may have a melted MBP to replace.

Macbook and macbook pro lose wifi internet connection. Why?

Have moved house, got a new internet connection everything has been ok for 2 weeks. Suddenly both my macbook and my son's macbook pro won't stay on the internet. They lose connection every 3/4 minutes.
We turn the airport off, close safari and then turn ariport in again. You can reconnect again but only for a short while.
We have other devices that connect to internet - internet radio etc. These don't drop connection so I don't think it's the internet/modem playing up. Even when these devices are turned off the internet connection fails on the macs.
I can also connect successfully to the internet using the ethernet cable.
What has happened?
Have we got malware?
What can I do?

You haven't brought any new technology which will effect your wifi signal? Like TV or Audio?
Have you tried to change the channel?
The problem really has to be related to the actual wifi router as both MacBooks have become effected.
If it was just the one MacBook, then there could be a possibility of some hardware having problems in the MacBook.
Are you getting a strong signal but no Internet?
If you have a house phone connected to the same socket as the router, the filter could need replacement.
Most DSL lines have filters that often need replacement after a period of time.

My Macbook Pro suddenly won't stay connected to the internet.

My Macbook Pro recently has had problems staying connected to the Internet. Our other Macbook Pro is having the same problems. I have already spoken with with our ISP, AT&T. After trying several things, they said that it may have to do with Safari and that they couldn't suggest any settings changes to our browser because it might disqualify any warranties that we have on our Notebook if another company makes changes to it. I've spent hours and hours trying to resolve this and it's driving me nuts. Also my wireless HP Printer won't stay connected either. Not long ago AT&T sent us a new modem/router (all-in-one), that is why I called AT&T to see if it was the new modem. But come to think of it, I had called AT&T because of this connectivity issue and now I'm thinking that it wasn't them at all. Maybe it has to do with Apple. I'm a Apple lover, so please help!!!

Also my wireless HP Printer won't stay connected either.
Does that mean it won't stay connected to the network, or it's not reachable from your Mac? There's a difference.

My macbook pro won't turn on. it just stays stuck on a white screen with a little circle spinning around and around when you power it on.

Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Reinstalling Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
If you are not using Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks then use the following procedure:
Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

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
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Maybe something to do with the motion sensor
if so try resetting the SMC
