MX870 connection issues with MacBook Pro

Hi
I have a MacBook Pro on 10.8.5 and I cannot find or connect the MX870 printer wirelessly. It used to connect perfectly and now doesn't at all.
I have an iMac on 10.9.3 that runs the MX870 without issue.
Not sure how to resolve?
Thanks

Hello mthomson,

  • Connection issues with MacBook Pro and DVI to component video

    How do I connect a 2007 macbook pro to a regular tv (non-hd) via the DVI port with component cables? The image is always scrambled. The connections are fine, what do I need to do?

    Concerning this comment:
    I know that neither the adapter nor the VGA cable have a problem since I connected the computer to my 1080p TV and it worked just fine...
    I would like to point out that 1080p has a lower pixel clock than will 1920 x 1200. So it could be the stability problem is only present when the pixel clock is at the high end of the range.
    You could return the adapter and try another. A new one might have better margins. Another thing you could try is to use a utility like SwitchResX to lower the pixel clock and see if stability improves.

  • Wireless connectivity issues with Macbook Pro and At&t service HELP!!!!!

    I have three Computers two PC's and one Macbook Pro( the latest model).My desktop PC is used by ethernet, my girls laptop is used wirelessly and finally my MBP was being used wirelessly.
    I started off with only the two PCs and my internet connection never had a problem and I was doing everything from: on the internet to downloading.
    Before I bought my MBP I had also switched from internet and phone bundle to just internet from At&t service. So when I got my first MBP I notice that I was loosing wireless connection with both my girls pc laptop and my MBP so i thought it was because I had just switched service, though they send out a service technician and we came to a conclusion that it was the MBP. (I was loosing signal via wireless and ethernet). So we tried to see if both my girls laptop(wireless) and my PC desktop (ethernet) would run into the same issue which it did not.(MBP was turned off)
    So I decided to go my nearest Apple store and let them know what was going on. So I told them what was going on and they said It must be the airport card, and they ended up changing it. When I get home I discover that not only I am having the same issue but other issues too. I went back they ran some diagnostic and they said it was defective and they gave me a new one few days later.
    So in the mean time that I waited for my new one to arrive I used my PC desktop and my girl kept using her laptop and guess what no issue what so ever for one whole week. Now I receive my new MBP(they bumped the specs a little), went home set it up and still the same issue though I dont have the issue when Im using via ethernet. Just a view minutes ago I tried removing the ethernet and using the airport/wireless and within a few minutes I lost the signal.
    I have the gateway 2WIRE model(2701HG-B) modem/router.
    Is there something wrong? what do I have to do to make this work?

    Hi Guys, I bough my Mac almost two years ago. All this time I have experienced the same issue. There are tons of discussions re this issue in the internet. Unfortunately, Apple has done nothing to fix it. I have tried a lot of different options, but they work no longer then 1-2 days. The official fix - does not exist so far. It is quit strange, isn't? I can share my experience: if you go to AirPort Utility - Manual Setup - Wireless and then change Channel, it could help you till the moment you restart your computer; next time you need to repeat it again. It takes 2 minutes. Not sure that it would work for you but you could give it a try. Well, not the best option. Anyway Apple must fix it asap! Hello Apple, do you hear us? Good luck.

  • 3GS and Bluetooth pairing/connecting issues with Macbook Pro

    I've got a Macbook Pro 15"... Just got my 3GS today... But for the life of me cannot seem to get the 3GS connected to my MBP over Bluetooth... Both the MBP and the 3GS have BT turned on, and both "discoverable"... Done the pairing with the code provided by the MBP, and entered into the 3GS... But that's it... the iPhone shows up in the devices under Bluetooth Preferences, but just can't "connect"... There's a spinning icon on the 3GS in the BT panel... with my MBP showing up, but just sits there, spinning...
    What am I doing wrong??

    im assuming your on at&t
    --if you are trying to use the iphone as a modem for your macbookpro:
    currently at&t doesnt support using he iphone for tethering... they say they will later ... no real details about limits and prices but you can bet they will be low and high respectively.
    --if you are trying to sync the iphone with itunes over bluetooth:
    that profile doesnt exist yet and or itunes doesnt support it yet from what i can find... gonna have to stick with the usb cable... which is faster than bluetooth anyway

  • Wireless Connection Issues with Macbook Pro

    Maybe this is an OSX issue, but I'm not too sure.  I'm trying to set up a wireless access point through my school's internet, but I'm having some issues.  They provided information on how to set up the router, so I did just that.  However, when I connect and try to visit a webpage, I keep getting "Wi-Fi has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.....(don't remember the rest) and will not be able to connect to the Internet."
    I'm using the Linksys WRT54G v6.0 and I set up the network to the school's liking: disabled DHCP (so users are forced to talk to campus in order to connect) and enabled MAC filtering.  My computer and router MAC addresses are registered with the school so I can access the internet.  Ethernet works just fine on my computer, but I would like to be able to connect my iPhone and iPad to WIFI while I'm at my place.
    I feel like the problem has to do more with my computer than the router since I've had these issues on different routers with other Macbooks while my friend's PC's worked just fine to connect.
    I contacted the school's IT, but they won't help me when it comes to personal routers.  Oddly, there is a separate IT for residence that offers help, but they're closed for the day.
    Any suggestions?

    Nope I'm not trying to tether.  I would like to be able to use a wifi connection on my mac and other devices.  I've gotten by so far just hooking up my mac to the ethernet port, but that requires me to be in my room.  I know its possible since there a bunch of networks nearby (locked of course), but I just can't figure out how to get mine working.
    I'm living in an apartment across the street from campus that is sort of school-owned...well its private but the internet service is provided by the campus since only students live here.  So we have to register anything that we want to use on the school's network.  On campus I can use wifi on my mac or iphone.  Its troubling how I can use the ethernet cable just fine, but when I connect it to my router (which I registered through the school as well)...nothing.  Technically this should be working easily - but maybe you're right on the network security accessability...or maybe my router is old...or my mac doesn't like my router?  I've had this problem before during my undergrad years except I was dealing with a cable provider and not the school.
    Maybe I should just make friends with my neighbors and find out how they set up theirs haha.

  • Does 'Network Connect' work with MacBook Pro?

    My safari unexpectedly quits when attempting to log into my company's VPN.
    - I log into our VPN website and the connection begins to initialize
    - with my MacBook, Safari (2.0.3) unexpectedly quits
    - with my PowerBook, 'Network Connect' automatically starts and the VPN connection completes without any problem
    Does 'Network Connect' work with MacBook Pro? Any ideas?

    Resolved. MacBook Pro was having trouble dowloading the 'Network Connect' application when I logged into my VPN client for the first time. I copied it from my PowerBook G4 over to the appropriate folder and it now works perfectly.

  • Issue with MacBook Pro (mid 2009) wifi multiple AP signal 'confusion'

    I'll try to explain this as best I can, not being an expert in networking!
    I recently upgraded my router from a Linksys WRT160N to an Airport Extreme, in the hope that it would do a better job of broadcasting a stronger wifi signal throughout my house. Whilst it is improved, it's still no good enough for streaming to my iPad 2 where I want in the house. Reading around on the web I discovered that I should be able to use the Linksys as an AP to extend the effective range of my wifi network, as long as it is hardwired into the base station via Ethernet (no WDS support on the Linksys model).
    So, I managed to get this all up and running, disabling the dchp on the Linksys, fixed ip allocation etc and using the same SSID and passwords etc. All is well with the iPhone and iPad2 access - they just automatically switch to the strongest signal no problem when I move around the house. Cool.
    The issue lies with the MBP - I have a favoured spot in the house where both the broadcast signal from the AEBS and Linksys are very strong, and the MBP gets all confused. opening up the lid from standby it searches for the wifi (bar moving up and down the signal indicator) and then just has an exclamation mark. I try to manually select the SSID but no dice. I have to switch the MBP adaptor off and on, rescan avail networks, and lo and behold two versions of my SSID are shown. Select one and then it connects. However, I have to go through this whole exercise every time I pull the MBP out of standby, which is very irritating.
    I do have a workaround - if I name the SSID on the Linksys something different, the problem goes away. However, i effecktively now have 2 wireless networks & I then have to manually switch between the two SSID's to get the strongest signal depending where I am in the house. It's suffices for now but not ideal.
    What I don't get is why is it only the MBP affected & the iPhone & iPad 2 are fine? Is this anything to do with the 2.4 ghz & 5 ghz being broadcast by the AEBS getting all mixed up with just the 2.4 ghz being broadcast from the Linksys??? Both 2.4 & 5 ghz are broadcasting the same SSID.
    Any help appreciated.

    OK - fixed this now. By setting the 5 Ghz channel on the AEBS to a different SSID and putting this to the top of my priority WIFI connections on the MacBook Pro then it ignores the conflict between the 2.4 Ghz networks being broadcast by the Linksys & AEBS. No more hanging connection when I resume the MBP

  • Blue tooth issues with macbook pro late 2011

    I purchased the new beats pill and havinng issues with connectivity with macbook pro. My Iphone works well. Any suggestions

    I have a similar issue.  Have you had any luck with a fix, yet?  I have a Samsung sound bar, and my Ipad and Iphone both connect with no issues. The playback is uninterrupted with fine sound quality.  My 2011 13" Macbook Pro connects, however playback often sounds like a scratched CD.  Last year I called both, Samsung and Apple, and when all was said and done it was recommended that I bring the then brand new sound bar and my Macbook to an Apple Store.  Any suggestions I are appreciated.

  • Bluetooth iPhone 6 Plus issues with MacBook Pro

    Most recently, started having issues with my iPhone 6 plus maintaining connection to my MacBook Pro 15in.   Noticed this strictly through using iMessage, as I use it to text a lot.
    Steps taken so far:
    Verified other bluetooth devices (Keyboards, Mice) working fine. 
    Rebooted both iPhone and MBP.
    "Reset" the bluetooth connection by removing it both on the MBP and iPhone, then re-paried the devices.
    The pairing function will work then suddenly it will display "not connected".   I additionally have verified the iPhone can connect to other bluetooth devices fine.  (Car, Keyboard).  So I definitely can say it is isolated to iPhone--MacBookPro.
    The fact there was no major updates on any side has me concerned, just suddenly "stopped working". 
    Any help is appreciated, thanks!

    You know what, you are right.   Not sure why I thought that.  Now the question is why my SMS is not working with iMessage.   Back to the drawing board!

  • Issues with Macbook Pro and Analog TV

    Hey all,
    I've got a VGA converter so I can use the Apple Mini Displayport to VGA adapter to connect my 2011 Macbook Pro to a 28ish inch Panasonic analog TV. Initially, the computer wasn't detecting the TV at all, so, on the advice of the internet I reset the PRAM. Now I do have a picture, it's just absolutely horrible. The image is in black and white, is constantly scrolling quickly across the screen vertically, and is flickering. I updated my software and restarted, but to no avail. I'm not sure where to do from here, and would love help from someone with some actual knowledge (I'm pretty decent with computers, but mainly because I'm able to google stuff and just follow the directions - couldn't find anything so I'm at a loss).
    Thanks in advance, and let me know if you need any more info from me.

    I had this problem earlier and was able to solve it by checking the display setting in the System Prefrences. This link will help you. http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=B%26sec tion=4%26tasks=true

  • Home Sharing issues with MacBook Pro Early 2010

    I'm having problems with home sharing. I can't connect to my MacBook Pro(Lion 10,7,2) library using my iPhone or iPad. My PC(Windows 7)  connect without problems, but with my MBP the iPhone 4 or iPad 2 fall in infinity load(both with iOS 5),
    I tried format my MBP. After formatted, I was able to use home sharing in MBP, few hours later the home sharing stopped working.
    This problem isn't only with home sharing. I can't connect to a FTP server, use AirVideo, AirPlay, share files in network....
    I have already called to Apple Brazil, but they don't know what's Home Sharing.
    Does anybody can help me?

  • Issue with MacBook Pro charger?

    Hello,
    I bought my MacBook Pro 15" in October 2009. I hardly ever take it out of my place. Senior Apple adviser told me, that the battery in my computer is factory calibrated, so bassically I treat my laptop as iMac. It's connected to the charger all the time. When I'm done using it, I either put it to sleep or shut it down. Two days ago I noticed: (Not Charging) by the icon of the battery. Apparently the charger stopped charging. It's MagSafe charger with T style connector. From what I've been reading in disscussion forum regarding charger issues, it looks like perhaps this charger needs to be replaced.
    But the interesting part is, that the green led on the connector holds steady since (Not Charging) appeared two days ago, and also, the battery power dropped only to 94% and holds steady as well.
    So this makes me wonder, is there something wrong with the charger, or is it something else?
    My computer knowhow is limited, so any information or tip will be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Resolution issue with macbook pro 13 (late 2013) and dell u2711

    I have a Dell U2711 (native resolution 2560x1440) that I use without issue with a macbook pro late 2007 (running 10.10.x), various iMacs and Macbook air 2011 running 10.10. When I say without issue, the display works at its native resolution.
    Last week we got a MacBook Pro 13in, late 2013 model.
    If I connect this macbook via either thunderbolt connection to the u2711 using either DVI port on the dell, the maximum resolution that I can use is 1920x1080. I am using apple mini displayport to DVI adaptors (I have tried 2 different ones and 2 different DVI cables, with no improvement). Clicking option + scaled in sys prefs does not give the native resolution as an option.
    However, I just discovered that if I use a DVI to HDMI adaptor and I connect the macbook to the display I get the full native resolution without issue (2560x1440).
    I have zapped the pram, powered down the display etc etc etc and it made no difference.
    I would prefer to use the mini DIsplayPort to DVI adaptor rather than HDMI, any suggestions appreciated.
    TIA.

  • Hard Drive Connection Issue on MacBook Pro

    Hi,
    A couple weeks ago my MacBook Pro was running and suddenly went into a non-stop pinwheel freeze. After waiting a few minutes I decided to do a manual shut down and when I attempted to reboot it, I just got a blank white screen that wouldn't go away and then a blinking question mark folder when I tried it again. Luckily I already had an external HardDrive Dock so I removed my Hard Drive, used the system startup Disc that came with the computer to redirect the start up disc, and I've been able to boot my MacBook from the Dock since then through a USB cable. So I have a temporary fix, but of course it requires a lot of set up, it's a slower connection, and is less convenient when I take my laptop from place to place.
    What I want to do is replace the connection between the Hard Drive and I my MacBook but I want to make sure that I purchase the right part. My MacBook is two or three years old now but it runs fine (besides these issues) and is fast enough for all of my needs. My Macbook is a MacBookPro5,5 with an Intel Core 2. I believe it is a 15 inch model. I'd like to avoid taking this to the Apple Store if possible because I have a limited budget and this should be a pretty simple repair as long as I'm replacing the right part. Can anyone tell me what the probable part is that I need to replace?
    Thanks,
    Todd

    SuperDuper is not compatible with Leopard, but CCC 3.0.x is.
    Put the new drive in an enclosure and connect it to the computer. Prep the drive by partitioning and formatting with Disk Utility. Clone your existing system using either the Restore option of Disk Utility or CCC (CCC is a bit faster.) Test the clone to be sure it boots the computer. If all is well then replace the old drive with the new one and put the old drive in the enclosure.
    Bear in mind that doing this yourself is not approved by Apple.

  • Networking issues with MacBook Pro

    I have tried to find this issue on line and in the forums and couldn't   I have seen many people have similar issues using VPN connections or Citrix but nothing what I am seeing.  I have 3 MacBook Pros that connect fine to our company network.  They have the DNS settings from our DHCP server and I can see their leases and everything.  We can connect to network drives however we can't connect any of them to the company's intranet sites.  If we type in http://companysite  and hit enter both Safari and Firefox come back stating that they can't find the server companysite.  Not sure why it is looking for a server by the name of companysite when our DNS servers point to the servers that are hosting the sites. 
    If I type in the IP address of any company site then it works however using the name doesn't.  So it sounds like an issue with DNS but again the DNS servers are in the network settings and Windows machines have no issues with using the http://companysite instead of using http://IP Address.  Any assistance would be appreciated.

    OK, figured out that if I added my company's domain to the search domain list in Network Settings this would allow the MacBook to use http://companysite instead of the IP Address.  However now I need to figure out the authentication issue.  We use the end user's network credentials for access to the company intranet sites.  Using http://companysite I get access denied.  Using the IP address allows the end user to enter in their network credentials.
