My mac book pro gets stuck when connected to internet

hello.
I recently changed  ISP and router...
I noticed that when I connect to the wifi of my house my mac book pro gets stuck. the color spinning wheel (of death)  starts and  shows forever and I can't click anything after that. I can turn off the mac only by forcing quitting (holding down the power button).
i checked the hard disc at disc utility and everything is ok
when i restart and turn the air port off it doesn't get stuck...
Please help!

I recently changed  ISP and router...
Do you have an apple router at all??
If so which one?
when i restart and turn the air port off it doesn't get stuck...
So you are plugged into the main router by ethernet??
Are you actually running Lion??
If not what are you running? And if it is that all round Stinker Yosemite.. no surprises there.
As far as the computer is concerned clear out all the old wireless names.. shut down the computer.. restart the computer and rediscover the wireless again and put in the password. Does that help??
Old laptop and upgrade install bad news all round.

  • HT1661 How can I restart my mac book pro 11 inches when it's on target disc mode

    How can I restart my mac book pro 11 inches when it's on target disc mode

    Even if you could open Disk Utility you can't reformat a disk while you are booted from it. You will have to use the install CD. Ring the Apple Online Store at the number given at bottom left of this page and give them the serial number of your Mac. You should be able to get the Snow Leopard install disks for a nominal fee.

  • Why does my Mac Book Pro get so hot?

    My Mac Book Pro gets hot whenever i use it for awhile and i am wondering what could be causing the "over heating"
    I just bought my Mac about a month ago, it is the 13 inch with the intel core i7 processor.

    Hot is a relative term.  Go on the Internet and download iStat pro, a widget that monitors the internal temperatures and fan speeds of your MBP.  When you get accurate numerical data then you will be able to determine if there actually is a problem.
    Yes the MBPs do get warm which is good because that is dissipating the internal heat being generated by the internal components.  The heat to a large degree is a function of the applications you are using, such as video games will require more CPU resources than emails, thus generating additional heat.
    Bear in mind that the MBP has internal heat sensors that will shut the unit down if it starts to over heat thus preventing the MBP committing Hari Kari.

  • HT1338 mac book pro gets unusually hot

    Mac book pro gets unusually hot. Its only a year old . Anybody out there have s suggestion ?

    I have just been to the Genius Bar with this question, among others. They recommended that I download "SMCFancontrol", also recommended above by EyeHeartDesign. It's available free at http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/31029. Like iStatPro it monitors temperatures, but it also allows you to set a faster default fan speed and a target max temperature.
    At the Genius Bar I was also advised to clean out the vents with compressed air and to make sure that I am not blocking the vents while I use the computer.
    We'll see if this all works, as it has been running hotter than usual lately. I was afraid that components were getting fried, but was assured that the other issue this computer has (keyboard and trackpad stop working) is unrelated. Looks good so far - with fans at the new default of 4000 rpm, temp is 40º C.

  • IMac and Mac Book Pro will not stay connected to WiFi on TC

    Hi,
    I'm a new Mac owner, and I changed completely over to Apple over the weekend.  Have na iMac and Mac Book Pro with a 2 TB Time Capsule.  Hooked everythng up and all seems to be working, except everytime my computers go into sleep mode when I wake them up they ask me to select my wireless network again because I lost connection.  Once I select my network it works fine until the computer goes to sleep.  WhenI wake it up, it asks me again.  I have it set to automatically connect to known networks, but it doesn't.  I have to click on it everytime I wake up the computer.  Before I hooked up the TC, I was using my old wireless router and it stayed connected.  Now that I put the TC in as my wireless neteork it asks me to select my network.  Is there something I'm not doing that may help the iMac and Mac Book Pro stay connected?
    Thanks. 

    For that particular WiFi update, yes - it means you can't download it. However, that update may have been included already in M-L 10.8 ...
    I feel your pain regarding these anomalies - I had the same problems on my year-old iMac that I just exchanged with Apple for a new one - I had worked these software/network issues on the old one for over five months, and finally, I demanded a new system as a replacement. Just too many problems. For me, Update 10.7.3 for Lion was the cause of my network problems. The WiFi update/patch solved the sleep issue for me, but not the auto-connect problem for system start-up's and restart's. After system start-up's and restart's, I would have to manually select my router address to connect via WiFi. But after manually selecting the address, the WiFi connection would stay-on - it wouldn't drop-off.
    Again, with this replacement iMac, I don't even trust its WiFi capability - and with a desktop, why should I ? I simply purchased a Cat-6 Ethernet cable, and wired it into my Time Capsule ... To heck with WiFi ! ... Remember: don't download ANY system updates wirelessly ! Don't do it. ... Apple will rue the day they did away with Ethernet connectors on their computers ... - The same goes for CD-based software, or at least some other "physical" means for software installation ...
    But, as for future system updates, and how they affect this new iMac ? - If they screw it up, I'm not messing with it ! - Apple's getting it back, the next day ! I'm not going to go through five months of testing, repairs, forced new purchases, etc. etc. ever again ...

  • Mac book pro is stuck on installing snow leopard. won't work.

    i recently was mucking around with my mac book pro and soon found my self stcuk with the installation of the 'snow leopard mac OS X' no matter what i did it just wouldn't go away, all i wanted was for my laptop to just go back to normal and get back to what i had been doing only a few hours ago but nope nothing, not even the snow leopard would download to finish things off. so i contacted apple support whom we spent about an hour chatting with. that was basically hopeless, they were very nice but they just didn't know what they were doing, and best of all they wanted to charge me. so at the very ending when they told me that my hard drive was fried and there was absolutely nothing i could do but to get it taken to an apple store and pay for them to replace my hard drive i asked them if i should do the online repair thing, and he told me no i shouldn't its just a waste of time and it won't work.  so i neglected him told him a thank you and guess what, i got it to work. now my laptop is good as new and i didn't need to pay to get the hard drive replaced. lol. ok so for the people who are facing this oh my gosh its such a headache but we can do thins. so write these steps down and i promise they will work and you don't need to pay to get your perfectly fine hard drive replaced. ok so shut down your laptop completely. then when its completely off. hold don't the command button and R hold them both down and then at the same time press the on button keep holding them, you can take your finger off the on button but keep the others on the command and R until a white screen appears it will ask for wifi and then it will reset everything for you like when you first got your laptop. just follow through the instructions they give you and all is well. i hope this was help full for you if this happens.! (btw i can't remember if it was command and R or the option, alt button and R but just try the command one first and if that doesn't work then the other one)

  • Mac Book Pro switches off when you open Safari!

    Hi people.
    I am new Mac Book Pro user, have had it for a few months now and all is good, however I have an issue and that is that everytime I open safari and open a new tab the machine switches off! To turn it back on I need to wait for 30 seconds or so and then power it on. An error report is shown upon login and it happens again when safari opens.
    Any ideas??

    Take it to an Apple store or AASP.

  • Mac book pro getting hot

    ive just purchased a new mac book pro and it is getting really really hot directyl under the key board, all the way to the edge of the case where the screen is, its nearly too hot to touch, should it be getting this hot?

    What you will need to do is actually quantify exactly what you mean by hot. It's possible that it's too hot although it may well be normal. Temperature Monitor…
