Macbook Wireless Driver Corrupted

Hi,
I've got a problem with my macbook's wireless driver. The driver was corrupted back a few months ago. For some reason it started working again after a while so I didn't follow up with the problem. I just updated my OS to 10.4.11 and the driver died again. How can I fix it?
Mike

I've managed to fix it. I've extracted a copy of the extension file from the Mac OSX 10.4.9 Combo Update package using "Pacifist" and replaced the current copy in the system library.

Macbook Wireless Driver Incompatible with Dual Band Access Points & PPTP VPN with MPPE Enabled.

Configuration:
Local Client: Macbook Pro 8,1 (Dual boot 10.8.2 & Windows 7 x64)
Local WLAN AP: WiFi dual band access points (I do not have admin access to)
ISP: TWC Road Runner
External VPN Server: Poptop PPTPD server v1.3.4 (I do have admin access to)
Problem:
There is a Macbook BCM4331 driver incompatibility that spans across both OS X and Windows 7 when connecting to a PPTP VPN through a local dual band access point.
The same Macbook (booted into either OS X 10.8 or Windows 7) cannot maintain a ping/connection to the PPTP server when connected to a local dual band (2.4GHZ/5GHZ) WiFi access point.
Macbook connects and remains connected to the PPTP server (as shown in connection status,) but no traffic will pass through VPN once the connection has "dropped" internet traffic. Flood ping to the VPN server initially replies with expected <30ms ping time. Once internet traffic is passed across VPN, ping fails and traffic stops completely.
• Any other wifi client machines & OS using same dual band AP can connect to VPN and maintain flood ping to PPTP server and pass all traffic or even split tunnel. I've tested different computers using Windows XP, Windows 7, Android 4.1, iOS 6.0.1 etc. No problems at all.
• Macbook can maintain flood ping and pass traffic to PPTP server when connected to a different standard 2.4GHZ access point.
• Macbook can maintain flood ping and pass traffic to PPTP server when connected via Ethernet on same LAN as dual band AP's.
• Macbook can maintain connection/ping by disabiling MPPE encryption on the PPTP server. Running an unencrypted VPN is not an option for me however.
• Macbook can maintain connection/ping whenn booted into Windows 7 natively and disabling 2.4 band through Device Manager > Advanced tab > Disable bands > "Disable 802.11g/b".
To fix this problem, I would propose that Apple allow OS X users to disable 2.4GHZ in OS X. Doing so should allow PPTP + MPPE when connected via dual band routers as it does in Windows 7. I think asking them to rewrite the driver for OS X & Windows 7 is asking too much.

I have been through so many forums, reconfigured the Macbook, the PPTP server, reformatted, tested and tweaked until my eyes bled. Here is a collection of threads of others with similar problems:

I haven't heard anything back yet. I will update if I do.
Being that Apple takes pride in selling their own computers and writing their own drivers & software to match, the Macbook with OS X 10.8 should be a super polished, finely tuned machine. It's aggravating when I can't do relatively simple things which I can do on any other device & OS:
If you've read the first post, you know it's not possible to pass PPTP + MPPE on the Macbook Pro 8,1 with OS X 10.6+ or Windows 7 when connected to a dual band AP.
OS X also imposes a 130mbps limit on the 2.4Ghz band. I have no problems connecting @ 450mbps on 2.4Ghz with Windows 7. The range is much better than 5Ghz as expected when there aren't any neighboring AP's for interference. I've also never received interference with Bluetooth devices.
There have been a couple times where some things don't plain work right and the flexibility to fix them as an "Apple knows better than the user" policy is restricted. In most cases, perhaps Apple does know better. In this case, there is definitely a problem with the BCM4331 driver. If it "just worked" this topic wouldn't have been created.

Macbook Internal Drive Corrupted. Can't get iTunes or Pictures off.

I thought I had backed up both on an external hard drive but it didn't work. I can't even get the Macbook to boot up much less get to the HD to copy files again to the external drive. Apple online wants to charge me like $49 to get "help" to see if they can let me download the songs again. Any ideas on how to get these files off this very sick computer?

Got a local Apple retailer? If so they may be able to help you. Or:
Basics of File Recovery
Files in Trash
If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

How to connect a wireless drive and stream to my stereo through MacBook. I currently have a non apple WiFi network

I currently have a PC based WiFi network and am about to buy a MacBook Pro. I have 250 gb iTunes library and 100+ gb of photos. What I was going to get is the 120gb MacBook and run an external drive to store the iTunes library and photos. For intensive photographic work I'd directly connect the drive but day to day I'd connect it to the wireless network. What I want to do is to stream my music, from the wireless drive to my stereo
Will the drive work this way on my existing router - usb2 connected? Or do I need an apple device. Should I use an airport or Apple TV to connect to the stereo?
I also want to have the option of streaming from my iPhone.

Will the drive work this way on my existing router - usb2 connected? Or do I need an apple device. Should I use an airport or Apple TV to connect to the stereo?

Hard to say when you don't give us a clue what you current router is??
USB2 is slow.. it is double slow from a network device.. and even slower if that network device doesn't actually have too much CPU power or RAM..
Even worse is the idea to move the disk from the network to the local external port.. because then format comes into play.. Apple devices can use FAT32.. yuk.. but really want HFS+.. most routers cannot talk HFS+ except apple ones.. they want NTFS or FAT32.. You can see where this is going.. buy two disks.. one for library.. one for a scratch disk .. usb3 will be great.. or thunderbolt even better. And when finished copy your project to the network drive..
Think carefully about backups.. they are important too.. might be time to invest in a real NAS. Not toy systems with USB.. dangling off them.

Try using this article to help with your iPad not showing up in iTunes---
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 -This deals with the device not being recognized in iTunes for Windows
The following steps work well with iPod but i would try them for help with your iPad issue:
Try connecting your iPad to another USB port directly on the computer. Verify that you're connecting it to a high-powered USB 2.0 port on your computer to be sure iPad is getting power. If you're connecting to a Windows laptop computer through USB, connect the laptop to a power outlet before connecting your iPad. Also, see iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB to be sure that your USB ports are supplying enough power.
Avoid connecting to an external USB hub. If a hub must be used, make sure the hub is USB 2.0, and that it has its own power supply. Also, make sure the hub is connected to a high-power USB 2.0 port on your computer.
If the issue persists, try disconnecting other USB devices from the computer such as printers, cameras, scanners, external hard drives, and USB hubs to determine if there is a conflict in the USB chain.

External hard drive corrupted after trying to fix it, in macbook Disk utilities

hello,
After fixing my macbook internal drive with disk utilities, i put to verify my WD external hard drive,that acuse me some errors.
Well i don´t no why but i put the disk utility run for de WD external drive. A few time later , shows up a message that the disk couln't fixed, to format them.
After that my external WD wasn't recognize by any computer, i think the modules of the disk was corruped.
Does any one knows how can i invert ou fix the problem, without formating?
Thank you

I assume your asking because you have data on that drive to recover first.
Your going to need to install something like Data Rescue on your computer's boot drive, then connect the problem drive and another external drive with enough space to send all the recovered files too.
Data Rescue takes a long time, it reads the 1's and 0's of the files themselves off the drive, not listening to anything else, it will cost you $100, but that's the going price for software like this.
The option if that doesn't work is to take the internal hard drive out of the external case and use a SATA to USB adapter cable $40, then try the above Data Rescue method again.
If you don't care about any data on the drive, then just toss it. Drives are cheap.

IPhoto - running from an external wireless drive via a TimeCapsule?

Hi
Trying to solve a problem for my neighbour. They have a MacBook Air with a very full hard drive. Much of that space is taken up by images. They are currently using iPhoto to view these. One obvious solution is to move the images to an external drive by moving the iPhoto Library. However, It would be great if they could always have access to the images even when in other parts of the house i.e. a wired hard drive is not really a solution. One suggestion I made to them was to try a TimeCapsule, then attach a USB hard drive to it, that would turn the USB hard drive into an external wireless drive. My concern is - that this connection will be to slow to be useable - and also possibly risks corruption if the network is flakey. Not good when working with a database.
Another solution would be to use Lightroom 5 with Smart Previews. As a photographer, this is the route I would use - but LR is not as friendly for normal folk as iPhoto is. They don't want advanced image editing, they want image viewing mainly - and need to be able to do that remotely via wireless ideally. -
Any ideas or comments - has anybody got this set up and can confirm whether it works well or not?

Over the wireless connection it will be viewing thumbnails first, then on demand Previews. But there is no control over the size or quality of the Previews - you'll need Aperture for that sort of control. As I say, speed will depend on many other factors and frankly, trial and error is the only way to know.
I've no idea who much editing "normal people" do, but the fact is any editing is not advised. End of. So, yes, they would need to have a wired connection for importing.
Another thought: How big is the Library? SD cards and Flash Drives come in very large sizes and can be reformatted to hold a Library.
Frankly, what they really need is a computer with a bigger hard drive. They've bought a 2 seater roadster when what they need is an SUV.

I would like to know if you have to back up a macbook hard drive, can I use a external hard drive that has been previously used to back up several pc 's, or is it best to have a separate external drive for the Mac?

I would like to know if you have to back up a macbook hard drive, can I use a external hard drive that has been previously used to back up several pc 's, or is it best to have a separate external drive for the Mac?

In the Mac side of things, backups usually come in two flavors: clones or incrementals.
A bootable clone is a bit-for-bit copy of all essential files in the startup volume. If using the Lions, clones can be made using CarbonCopyCloner or just plain old Disk Utility. These backups represent the safest protection of your info, but take the longest to do. Recovery is an inverse process: you copy the clone back into the internal drive.
Incremental backups start with a complete backup of the startup volume and only copy whatever changed from the previous run. OS X includes the fully integrated Time Machine backup utility to do this. It is extremely easy to do and takes the least amount of time. Recovery is another matter altogether since you have to start with a freshly installed instance of the OS and have to apply all intervening backups to bring the result to the latest saved version.
As for where the backup takes place, the recommended media is an external dedicated drive or drives connected via the fastest interface available on your Mac: Thunderbolt, USB3, Firewire, or USB2. Network-based backups, wired or wireless, are attractive but may not offer the same performance and hence take longer. Also important to note that the entire drive need not be completely dedicated to a single backup. The Mac's EFI firmware infrastructure allows for an unlimited number of partitions on a hard drive and each can be used for either type of backups.
Holler if you need specifics on how to do each. This was just an executive summary.

MacBook hard drive is full again. Replaced original hard drive with a Samsung SSD 840 Pro Series 256GB hard drive about 18 mo. ago, but my MacBook is now already saying that my hard drive is full again. 13in. Alum. Late 2008 MacBook

My MacBook hard drive is full again. I have a 13in. Aluminum, Late 2008 MacBook, and about 18 months ago (in October 2013), I replaced the original hard drive with a Samsung SSD 840 Pro Series 256GB hard drive. However, my MacBook is now already saying that my hard drive is full again. When I check "System Information," under "Storage," it states the following: Audio 52.02 GB; Movies 33.68GB; Photos 43.13GB; Apps 14.76 GB; Backups 174.4 MB; and Other 96.39GB.
Also, at home, I have an Apple Time Capsule 4th Generation 2TB that I use as my wireless router, and I also use it for automatic backup via Time Machine. And when I first purchased Time Capsule, the first time I connected Time Capsule, Time Machine asked if I would like to use it to back up my files, and I clicked, "Use as Backup Disk." And that's really all I've ever done with Time Capsule.
In addition, I also have a LaCie Porsche Design P'9223 1TB external hard drive. I have copied my MacBook's hard drive onto my LaCie external hard drive.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Obviously the Audio, Movies, Photos, and Apps are taking up a lot of space... Any suggestions re: what I can do with Audio, Movies, Photos, and Apps? And what about the Other? Other is taking up 96.39 GB. What is Other, and what can I do about it?
And what about partitioning my hard drive... Is that something I should do? Should I partition, or configure, my MacBook's internal hard drive differently? And should I partition, or configure, my external hard drive? And if I need to partition, or configure, my MacBook's internal hard drive differently, how do I setup Time Machine to backup per any such changes? Same thing for my external hard drive?

Thank you for your help.

Partitioning makes no sense. You have a drawer full of stuff. Split it into two smaller drawers and you have two smaller drawers full of stuff.
Decide what you can store on external storage - your iPhoto/Aperture/Lightroom libraries can all be stored on externals, as can your iTunes Libraries and so on. Do you need to carry 30 gigs of movies with you all the time? You can get portable drives the size of an iPhone these days.

Thinkpad T500 Wireless Driver Issue in Windows 7

The subject pretty much says it all.
I've installed Windows 7 (x64) and everything is working fine with the exception of my internal wireless adapter. I've tried all the Windows 7 drivers provided and also tried the Vista drivers (x64 when applicable). Still nothing. It's (as far as I know) the Thinkpad internal wireless as opposed to any of the Intel ones.
To rule out a few things, yes I've checked to make sure it's enabled in the BIOS, and I'm certain the wireless switch is on.
Anyone have any ideas or similar fixes?
Should it help, my exact model number is: (T500) 2242-CT0

Hi and welcome to the forum!
Try this, install the Hotkey Features, do a mandatory reboot, thereafter press Fn-F5 to radio on the wireless device, once that's done install the wireless driver.
Would be a good idea to check in the BIOS if the card is enabled in there.
Let us know the outcome.

2011 new mba wireless driver for winxp

Hi folks,
I just put a windows xp on the new 2011 macbook air using bootcamp. The wireless driver produced automatically by bootcamp does not work with win xp. Does anyone know where to download the driver for wireless? Also I can no longer access Mac os after I put on windows xp on it... Any suggestions? Thanks a lot!!!

Hi
i have gone thru the same situwation like you and find out that the MBA support Windiws 7, i think you may want to revert to Windiws 7. XP not really support MBA especially the driver. mine MBA is the latest sandy bridge.
you may want to press on option while booting to access the boot up option. just select the mac HD to book from mac os.

Governments and ex's will/may have recourse to the legal process (or in the case of the Gov they can choose to ignore the legal system if they feel like it) when they want to see something of yours, good luck hardening your Mac against that. The best way to avoid the possibility of snooping over public networks is to avoid them but if you can't then Kappy's suggestion will help.
Strong passwords (everywhere) and don't use the same password in multiple locations.
If you really want to secure your home wireless use Mac address connection authentication, do not allow unknown Mac addresses to connect. It's much stronger than a WPA password alone.

Broadcom wireless driver compile error

Hi all. I was a lifelong Windows user until yesterday when a core driver corrupted for no conceivable reason and I got locked out of my system. I bit the bullet and install a Linux distribution, choosing Fedora as it seemed like a good place to start. My only previous Linux experience aside from through SSH (to manage web projects and an IRC network I once ran) is with Ubuntu, and I have never really liked it. Fedora was better but I couldn't get rid of this stupid little icon thing in the top-right corner, and the login screen is all wrong. As you can tell, I am a perfectionist and control freak, and I like my computer to do what I tell it to do, a courtesy that Windows rarely grants me.
Anyway, I jumped into the deep end and installed Arch x64, and after endless typing, troubleshooting and shouting (mostly shouting) for most of the past ten hours, all I've managed to do is install it and my display drivers, get X window or GNOME or whatever the hell I have running, and find this forum.
And I absolutely love it.
My top priority now is to get my wireless adapter working so I can move away from the router. It's a Broadcom BCM4313 built into my laptop. I downloaded the official 64 bit linux drivers from http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php, but when I try to compile I get this error:

According to the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_wireless your wireless card should be supported by the current kernel.

What All Do I Need If I Want To Upgrade My Macbook Hard Drive?

hey guys.
i've tried reading up a little but i was hoping someone (or a few people) could give me some straight up answers.
if i want to upgrade my macbook hard drive what all do i need? just the hard drive? or are there other pieces?
also.. whats a good 250GB one? i found this one on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-2-5-Western-Digital-250GB-SATA-Harddrive_W0QQitemZ220271 134397QQihZ012QQcategoryZ158853QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
is that one any good? i just know the name (Western Digital) and have heard good things about them...
any comments are welcome.
thanks!
beau

I got a 320GB sata 2.5" hard drive and installed it myself, its easy. I also got a caddy so I can use my old 120GB drive as a back up. Make sure u have everything backed up! Seagate and western digital drives are most popular. I asked similar q and got this answer"
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X 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 Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.
If your backup is bootable, then boot from the external drive and use SuperDuper to clone it back to the newly installed drive.
