My mac won't connect to the router.

I am very new to macs and recently bought a Macbook pro, I have connected to my router a D-Link, DSL-G604T but when I enable WEP security the mac won't connect only my PC's will. I am prompted by the mac to put in my Encryption key but it still doesn't work. I am able to to set the router to WPA-PSK but get stuck on the length of the string that I am supposed to put in? Will this set up work better?? Very stuck mac virgin, pleas help.

First, I strongly suggest that you use WPA or WPA2 instead of WEP for your wireless encryption...but if you must use WEP & work in a mixed (PC/Mac) environment...
Always use Hex characters for WEP encryption. Either 10 Hex characters (for 40-bit WEP) or 26 Hex characters (for 128-bit WEP)
If you use an ASCII password or passphrase, then use either 5 ASCII characters (for 40-bit WEP) or 13 ASCII characters (for 128-bit WEP)
Note: Because manufacturers may use different algorithms to translate between ASCII & Hex, that this doesn’t always work, and is one of the leading causes of issues with keys.

Mac won't connect to ftp server for iweb

my mac won't connect to the ftp server. i have been
trying to publish a site on iweb

Well, do you actually have a web host server to be able to connect to in the first place. You need this before you can publish a website from iWeb in that way.
Also, you don't publish a site on iWeb. You use iWeb to design your website and then publish from iWeb to your web host/server.
What version of iWeb are you using?
More info generally would be useful.

Mac won't connect to internet after sleep

Hi,
I've seen this problem to more and more users.
After i have updated Mac OS to 10.5.7 my Macbook won't connect to my airport express after waking from sleep. Even worse, when i wake my mac, all the computers from my wireless network loose their connectivity to Internet. I have to restart the Airport and the Macbook everytime. You can imagine this is becoming frustrating.
The funny part is that all the other laptops which have windows on them work without problems so i'm guessing this is related to Mac OS and not the Airport.
based on what i have read so far on the forums, i've tried to reset the connection, to change it's name, encryption, update Airport firmware version...everything.. No luck. The only thing that gets my connection back is to do a restart both to Macbook and Airport.
Does anyone have a solution to this issue?
Thanks,

Is anyone else having this issue?

My Mac won't connect to the wireless internet

My MacBook won't connect to the internet. Yet my phone and iPad will. I have tried turing the laptop on and off. Shutting the airport on and off and turning the Bluetooth on and off. And it still won't connect.

Thanks for that. Would this affect App store and iTunes though? Neither of them are working.
(iTunes store/match... just sit there spinning... Sophos is currently updating itself...)

Why my Mac won't connect automaticly to Wifi from boot or when waking from sleep?

Hi!
I have 2TB Time Capsule with bridged WiFi.
When I reboot or wake up my MBP from sleeping it won't connect automaticly to my Home WiFi network. I allways need to connect by hand. This problem has been in the Os X Lion and Os X Mountain Lion.
Any other WiFi networks don't have this problem, only with Time Capsule.
Time Capsule has 7.6.1 software and also older software's had this exact same problem
My MBP is:
2.3GHz Intel Core i5
8GB 1333 Mhz DDR3
And the WiFi chip is:
Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0xD6)
Firmware Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (5.106.98.81.20)
Does anybody else run in to this kind of problem?
Oh and everything else with WiFi is working normally (Phones, iPad's etc even PC's =) )

I was having this same issue with a brand new 2012 MacBook Air after updating to Mountain Lion and using an AirPort Extreme. Most times waking from sleep would result in a lockup as the system would continously try to find my network (the WiFi menu would just keep cycling). After going to 10.8.1 it still continued so I started looking at other possibilities. I noticed that the security setting on my AirPort Extreme (current generation) was set to WPA/WPA2. I changed it to WPA2 and the problem so far (2 days in a row) has gone away.

hi there my Mac will not connect to the Internet but all other Apple and other devices will connect wirelessly can someone help ? Is it an issue with the IP address to the Mac or is it the DNS which is currently blank?

Try these manual network settings.
IP address      192.168.1.50
Subnet Mask   255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.1.254

Just switched from Qwest DSL to CableOne cable internet and now my mac won't connect to the internet.

I've spent 2 hours on the phone with CableOne and they can't figure our why my MacPro isn't connecting to the internet through their Arris modem. I can connect to my network and see all my computers... so the ethernet port is working but the internet won't connect. I've tried Safari and Firefox browsers. My PC connects using the same ethernet cord with no problems. I've also tried connecting the computer directly to the modem with no results. And the ethernet port says it's connected and gives me an ip address. I'm out of ideas at this point. Any suggestions?

Ipad 2 won't connect to MY laptop - help

My ipad 2 won't connect to my laptop properly. It used to work fine, I haven't done it in a while (5 months). It charges with usb charger.
When i plug it in, Windows 7 plays the little tune indicating something is connected (tada!), but nothing show up in "My Computer" or itunes. On device manager it shows that something is plugged in to the usb port and there is some exchanged of power. Nothing changes on the ipad (does not display "not charging" at the top right)
When I plug it in to another laptop, it works fine. Other things I plug into my laptop work the way they should. So it's a problem with my computer and the ipad.
On apple support, I have followed all the troubleshooting steps for problems with connecting ipad to itunes. (nothing worked) I've also updated itunes, updated my ipad, reset my ipad and restarted my computer and various other trivial things.

Hopefully this will help:

I've connected my printer to the internet, done all the steps that the useless desktop dr or whatever it's called has told me to do, (including uninstalling/reinstalling various different things, restarted printer and laptop, turned router on and off etc) and it still won't connect!
I've got my final deadline in a week and I honestly have no idea what to do anymore, and since I can't actually find anywhere to contact HP on here, I'm begging anyone for some help?
I've set it as default, it's printing "test pages" with no problems, it just will not connect to the laptop (Dell, Windows).
Thank you

Won't connect to wifi network - HELP!

New iPod touch yesterday.
Won't connect to my wireless network.
Finds the network, but when I try to connect, it tells me 'Unable to connect to network ""'
Have tried resetting the ipod touch, and restoring it to factory settings. Have tried setting up the network again from scratch. Have tried different encryptions (WEP, WPA1, WPA2). Have tried making the network unsecured. But NOTHING has made any difference.
My Macbook pro and my iMac both still connect to the network perfectly fine.
But not the iPod touch.
Have spoken to Apple Support, and they talked me through all the same things I had already tried, only to conclude that there was clearly 'something wrong', and I would need to send it off for repairs.
I am not impressed.
Any ideas, anyone???

I had the same problem. I found that it pulls up the IP address fine but the DNS needs to be manually entered. If you go into the wifi settings of the touch there is a field titled DNS, if this is blank you will not be able to connect. The easist way to find the DNS address is to have a laptop connected via the wireless connection. In the start menu select run, next to open field type the letters cmd, this should bring up a small black box, scroll down until you see the dns address, type it into the ipod exactly as it appears, periods and all. Hope this helps!
