Macbook - Skype causes my whole office internet to...

I am using macbook, but whenever i opens skype, my whole office internet lag/slow down. a lot of drop packets for ping.
Once I close skype, everything returns to normal.
Note: I just log in to skype without chatting or talking to someone.

have you inadvertantly turned your wifi off? in the menubar just click on the wifi icon and check to see if it is on.

    I have a problem with MS Office on my MacBook Pro causing it to freeze. Apple have said I need to uninstall and reinstall office. Anyone else had this problem? How do you uninstall Office as I believe there is a remove software file but can't find it.

    I introduce myself my name is Sara Rojas, Curico graphic designer, on Friday 29 April, I took my macbook to the technical service team of Kennedy Avenue for a change 'top case' and a display problem. $ 30,000 charged me for a diagnosis, just to know what was the real problem that had the screen, I said that was delayed a couple of days to deliver this diagnosis, recently and after several phone calls to local, on Friday May 6 I gave a reply and a budget for the replacement of an investment board (problem of the screen) choose to accept the budget, considering we're talking about one of the largest and most important companies in the world, which means they are responsible and compliant, I commented that the replacement could take up to 20 days to arrive in Chile as the U.S. asked. But today, 30 May, having spent over a MONTH since my team reached the offices of the service STILL NOT READY TO HAVE MY NOTEBOOK despite repeated calls by phone to request as soon as possible under the same (and taking all paid for and that they could not order the parts without prior cancellation). just hide behind cheap explanations as' the replacement has already been requested, has not yet reached. " for me as a designer the notebook is my working tool and 1 month seems more than enough time to respond to the service that already paid.
    is possible for a company of that size is not layers of responding to your customers?PÉSIMO EL SERVICIO DE MACONLINE CHILE.

  • My Macbook Pro cannot connect to the internet using an ethernet cord.

    My Macbook Pro cannot connect to the internet using an ethernet cord. It was working fine for weeks, then all of a sudden just stopped. What could the problem be?

  • My MacBook isn't connecting to the Internet. When I try to connect, it shows the signal strength in the top right corner as if it was connected, but the Internet doesn't work. When I go to my network preferences, it says the ip is self-assigned.

    My MacBook won't connect to the Internet, but it's connected to my router. When I go to network preferences, it says that it has a self assigned ip address, and can't connect to the Internet. How can I fix this? Please help!

    First thing you need I think is to get your iMac connected to the Internet.
    Shut down your iMac and you iPad. Then power off your router. Wait 30 seconds and power up the router.
    After the router indicates that it is connected to the Internet then start up your iMac and see if it connects. If the iMac connects to the Internet then your iPad should too.
    If this power up sequence doesn't work you'll have to dig into the router setup to make sure it is working properly.

    vivebk67,
    FYI, I have the same issue.  I converted from MS Office 2010 to Mac Office 2011 by importing .pst files several months ago and I have noticed that many emails, which I originally received in MS 2010 but coverted to Mac 2011, show the paperclip as if there is an attachment.  But when I open the email, the attachment is not there.
    At this point I cannot find any pattern as to why some converted emails retained their attachment and other emails appear to have retained their attachment but the attachment is not visible.
    I can confirm that there actually is an attachment by opening up MS Office 2010, but that is a huge pain becasue I have to open Parallels to do that.  I have no issues with any attachments received in Mac Office 2011.
    I spent an hour opening up a ticket with MS, sent them .pst files with examples and the guy was able to confirm that he could open the attachment in MS, but not Mac.  BUT, of course, I was told that I would not be apprised of any ticket updates and that the only way I would know if the issues was fixed was when I was finally able to view attachments that I was not able to view previously.

  • Hi, i've just bought my first macbook pro, i just installed office mac and when i open the page i cannot see the minimise maximise and close buttons as it's hidden behind the apple menu bar, also when it's at full screen, those buttons do not appear

    hi, i've just bought my first macbook pro, i just installed office mac and when i open the page i cannot see the minimise maximise and close buttons as it's hidden behind the apple menu bar, also when it's at full screen, those buttons do not appear

    Try to edit the size of the page using the sides of the page, or if you are desperate, force quit using command-Q. In full screen put your cursor on the top of the page, and the menu bar will appear. If it doesn't keep "pushing" it up until it does. Hope this helps!

  • I received an email containing a spreadsheet created using Mac Office 2004 on my new MacBook Air equipped with Mac Office 2011.  When I saved the document, my Finder lists the document without the .xls file extension. Why?

    I received an email containing a spreadsheet created using Mac Office 2004 on my new MacBook Air equipped with Mac Office 2011.  When I saved the document, my Finder lists the document without the .xls file extension. Why?
    All other .xls documents created by Mac Office 2004 retained the .xls file extention when I migrated them over to the new MacBook Air.

    I know what happened.  When I saved the document I somehow hit the Hide File Extension box.  Sorry to trouble this group. I simply resaved it w/o activating the Hide File Extension feature.

  • Macbook connected to network but no internet

    Hello,
    I am having a very strange and concerning internet issue with the Macbook in my household. It can't access the internet even when connected to a wireless network. I know this is not a network issue because a Macbook pro, iphone, and ipod touch all connect to my network at home and can access the internet just fine. Also, the Macbook was unable to access the internet when connected to the school network while my iphone and other computers could.
    The problem started suddenly last Monday. Prior to that the internet had been working both at home and at school. It appears to be connect to the network because there are full airport bars and a check mark next to the network (in both locations) but it can't find the airport in the Airport Utility (while at home since the school doesn't use airport). Additionally, it wouldn't connect to the internet directly through the ethernet port either when I plugged it directly into the cable modem.
    In the System preferences it has a Self Assigned IP. The preferences are the same as they were when it was working and nothing looks wrong. On Thursday I tried the fix someone posted on this forum of deleting the network from the preferred networks and then adding it again and it worked at home for a day but it still wouldn't work at school and yesterday it stopped working again at home. When I tried to the fix again it didn't work. Also, I've tried repairing permissions twice and that hasn't done any good either. Additionally, it happens under both users on the computer and the test user I created.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Have a MacBook. Shows I have an internet connection, but cannot get on. I do have connection with my other computer???

    Have a MacBook. Shows I have an internet connection, but cannot get on. I do have connection with my other computer???

    I've looked at the IP adress, and it started with 169.
    This means you aren't actually connected to the Internet; only to your router.
    An easy first attempt at a fix is to turn your router off and then on again.

    Hello,
    I have very similar problem. Suddenly Firefox stopped work - It was working few days after ver. 4 update. I was looking everywhere for some solution but nothing worked.
    - uninstalled firewall - did not worked
    - added full exception for Firefox into the firewall - did not worked
    - Firefox reinstall - did not worked
    - Firefox complete reinstall (registry included) - did not worked
    - IPv6 diseabling - did not worked
    - diferent proxy options (no proxy, system proxy, autodetect proxy) - did not worked
    - new firefox profile - did not worked
    - complete coockies, history... deleted - did not worked
    - there is only one solution which partly works - I have used public proxy addresses for Firefox but the ping is (750ms), down/up (0.8MB/0.2MB originaly (10MB/2MB) and yes I have tried different proxy server from different countries from my included.
    - IE is working perfectly and without proxy
    - other companies browser - did not worked too
    - only IE is working
    - I have used three different malware, trojans, spyware, anti-virus programs and nothing
    It seems to me as hopeless situation or very clever move from Microsoft, I am forced to use IE - at least this works
    Any ideas, solutions?
    System Windows 7, firewall Comodo Internet security
    Thanks everyone for the help

  • My macbook pro kicks me off the internet to the home screen randomly, how do i fix this?

    While I am on the internet mostly, my macbook will kick me off the internet to the homescreen. While I am watching a movie or surfing the web without a pattern it will move to the homescreen while the movie still plays for example.

    When you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above. Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first. Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough. It is never necessary or helpful to post more than about 100 lines. "The more, the better" is not the rule here.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
