My mac book won't connect to any networks.

My mac book 7,1 won't connect to any networks (wireless connection) . It says "ALERT NO INTERNET CONNECTION" . The configuration IPv4 is on: Using DHCP. So, I don't understand why it's telling me this, and how i can fix it.

What do the Apple OS X network diagnostics report:
 > System Preferences > Network > Assist Me... > Diagnostics ...
about your network connection?
Do the networking problems here also effect connections via a wired network?
Have you tried a different wireless network?   Does connecting at a library, café or Apple store work?
I'm going to assume that you're not running OS X Server 10.6 on this MacBook — that would be unusual — and that you're probably running the client version of OS X 10.6, and are here in this forum because you saw the 10.6 in the forum title.  If I'm wrong here, there can potentially be other triggers for the network outage.  OS X Server management is rather different from whe OS X that Apple installs on a MacBook.

  • HT2497 Using Time Machine for home wifi just fine. Switched to cable modem from DSL.  Now having trouble connecting laptops to wifi. ISP says it is not their fault. Mac books won't connect on their own.

    Changed from DSL to cable modem. Now Mac book pro won't connect to wifi - Time Machine?
    One Mac ok, other not. Help?

    Thanks. We have been using an existing Time Machine for wifi.  Cable modem replaced DSL router and was hooked up to Time Machine. What's odd is that 3 computers and iPad2 are connecting to home wifi just fine, using exact same network and password as before. My Mac book pro and an older iPad are not. IPhones are also connecting to home wifi just fine. I managed to get my Mac book pro hooked one time by copying ip address from a Mac that was working (entered manually) then turning that one off. That's not what I need.
    The error message is "no ip address".

  • IPad, iPhone, and Mac book won't connect to wifi

    My ipad (6.1.3), my Mac book (10.6.8), and my iPhone 4(6.1.3) won't connect to home wifi even though all of them did on Sunday night (2 days ago). I have tried forgetting network and reconnecting but didn't work. I have tried to reset network settings on my devices but didn't work. The only thing that works so far is rebooting the router but that's feasible or fair to the other people (who are not apple users) in the house. Everyone else's laptops, tablets, phones, and play station can connect and stay connected. All of my devices can see the network but connection times out. Please help!

    Hey CompeauC,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities! I can definitely understand the frustration, and there are some troubleshooting steps that don't necessarily necessitate rebooting the router. I found a couple of articles that should be able to assist you in resolving the issue, one for your Mac and the other for your two iOS devices:

  • MAC book won't connect to printer

    My printer used to work on my MAC book pro, but now it isn't working. I have attached an USB cord and that isn't working i tried to reinstall my hp photosmart 5510 and it keeps saying operation isn't compatiable with the system because its 10.7 and its only compatiable with 10.6 or below

    Hi jcunni10,
    I understand you have a Photosmart 5510 that is not communicating with your Mac. I'm sorry to hear this, but I will certainly do my best to help!
    From what you've described, I think it's best that you make sure the HP software has all been removed by following this Uninstalling the Printer Software document, and then resetting your printing system (don't re-add the printer) followed by a verify/repair of your disk permissions. Once that is complete, reboot your Mac and try downloading and running the software from this download page. Hopefully this allows you to get everything working!
    Have a great weekend!

  • Mac Pro won't connect to "n" network.

    I realised my new iPhone would be slowing my potentially 802.11n-speed wi-fi network so disconnected it. To make sure my MacBook Pro and MacPro were connected at 'n' speed, I opened AirPort Utility and set my 500GB Time Capsule to "802.11n only (5GHz)". To my dismay, the Mac Pro no longer saw the network, while the MacBook Pro connected fine. I reset the Time Capsule to "802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)" and the Mac Pro again saw the network and connected. Given that this page: http://www.apple.com/wifi/80211/ says that 802.11n delivers "greater performance, more range, and improved reliability", I can't make any sense of the Mac Pro's behaviour.
    System profiler reports the Mac Pro's Wireless Card Type as "AirPort Extreme (0x14e4, 0x88)".
    Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?
    Thanks in advance,
    Steve = : ^ )

    I just moved my Time Capsule and tried this all again and it reminded me that I'd forgotten something: after changing the Time Capsule to "802.11n only (5GHz)", the Mac Pro does see the network, but when I select it, it asks me for the network password - this is stored in the keychain and the Mac Pro usually connects without asking - and, when I enter the password and okay the dialogue, it sits for a few seconds and then reports that the connection request timed out. *From then on* it no longer sees the network at all as described in my first post. This sequence of events has happened twice now.

  • My Powermac G4 AGP won't connect to a network through an airport card.

    I have a powermac G4 AGP that won't connect to any networks via airport wireless card.  An error message pops up on the screen after trying to connect.  Displayed is "There was an error when trying to connect to the preferred network." Can anyone help me with this? 

    Hi Scott,
    What Encryption do those Networks use... Open, WEP, WPA, WPA2?
    The Original 802.11b Airport card cannot do WPA2, most will do WPA with a Firmware update, it should do WEP or Open networks.
    Do any of those Routers support 802.11b/g, or just 802.11n?

  • I can connect my tc to the internet and back up my iMac, but it will not back up my mac book pro... ANY thoughts?

    i can connect my tc to the internet and back up my iMac, but it will not back up my mac book pro... ANY thoughts?

    When I go to connect my MBP, it says I have the wrong user name and/or password; however the names and password are the same on both computers.
    The MBP connects smoothly to the internet, just not the TC.
    Does this help?
    There is no login name required to get internet unless you are running a vpn or pppoe client.
    The wireless uses a security key.. but that is fixed in the wireless setup.. so no user login should be required at any time.
    It sounds to me like you have the wrong setup.
    Please do a screen shot and post it of the imac setup that works.. show us the airport network with its ip address and where you are putting in the login.
    Please also do a snapshot of the TC and how it is setup.
    What broadband do you have?
    Is the TC a router or bridged?

  • Mac mini won't connect to printer unless other mac on network turned on

    mac mini won't connect to printer unless other mac on network turned on

    Copy the IP address of the printer from the Mac that can connect to it by itself. The IP shows when you start any print job.
    Disable Printer sharing on this Mac.
    Go to the Mac that cannot connect by itself and set up the printer from scratch using the printer's IP. To do this:
    System Preferences / Print & Scan, then click the + sign, nxt select Add Printer or Scanner and click on IP. Fill in the info.

  • Can a latest Mac Book Air get connected to a display screen?

    Presentation at meetings require Mac Book Air get connected to a display screen.
    A Mac Book Pro is possible to get connected to a display screen using a A1307 adopter.
    Does any one know if the latest Mac Book Air connectable to a display screen using A1307 adopter or anyother means? I would be oblighed to know the possibility prior to buy one.
    Regards

    The Thunderbolt port doubles as a Mini-DisplayPort. Thunderbolt is not the same as Firewire. However, Apple does sell a Thunderbolt to Firewire adaptor so you can connect Firewire devices to the computer. Thunderbolt devices may be daisy-chained, but a display monitor must be the last device on that chain.
    According to what I found the A1307 adaptor is Mini-DisplayPort to VGA. It will not connect to a Firewire port.

  • Mac Book With No Connection-No Linksys Support :(

    Help Please!
    Have MAC book and it still can not get connection.  I have been on hold for hours and hours and with live chat for hours and hours, they don't get it at all and we keep doing the same thing over and over.
    Have the WRT54G with the updates, kept losing connection 3-4 times per day, had to reset modem, router and shut down the computer each time.  Called in and they had me make some changes to advance settings and the channel (BTW does these changes go back to the orignal ones if you have to do a reset again - because that is what is happening)  Also wanted help with the security, they had me do the WEP,and now the MAC book will not connect at all keeps wanting a password, no one at Linksys wants to take any real knowledge of the MAC - one problem i too don't know much about them, my daughters talked me into getting it so just learning.  My desktop Dell is hardwired to router and has been keeping the connection, it is always the MAC that would drop so we would do the restart. I am sure you guys have covered this, but even in some of the posts i just don't get the procedure.  Please Please some kind people on this board help me out.  Also, can email direct at [email protected]

    Hi,
    What is the model of the router? if it falls on wrt54g v5 or v6 ; or wrt54gs v5 or v6..You need to upgrade the firmware of the router into the latest firmware..And needs to reset the router back to factory default and reconfigure so that will work again with the modem ...
    And if still it will not work, check for the ip address if it is getting an ip of 169.254.x.x it means that the router is not getting the correct ip address..so you need to assign a static ip address on your mac computer ...
