My macbook pro cannot find any wifi networks unless it is in the same room as the router.

whats wrong with it and how can i fix this?

Here is some info from the Apple data base
Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity
iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Solutions for connecting to the Internet, setting up a small network, and troubleshooting
OS X Mountain Lion: Resolve IP address conflicts
Also is there metal near/around the router, tht can cause issues with radio waves, you may want to try a different location for the router.

TS1398 imac connects to internet for a few mins then stops and cannot find any wifi network-other devices are connecting without problems

My imac has suddenly stopped connecting to the internet through my wifi network if I restart the machine it finds the network for a minute or 2 and then stops working and cant find any wifi networks, other devices are connecting with no problems. Any suggestions please

Try posting in the iMac forum. This is the iPod touch forum.

My 13 inch Macbook Can Not find ANY wifi networks! Help!

I turned on my Macbook today only to find that no wifi networks are showing up, not even the neighbors! Im connected to the eather right now. My roommates laptop PC can connect fine. I need some help fixing it. Why is it not finding ANY networks at all?

Open System Profiler and check if the compter can still recognize your wireless device. Try resetting the SMC as well and see if this helps.

I've seen all the posts for fixing the wifi on the 4s, none of them work! So, who can tell me why my iPhone 4S cannot find any wifi when it used to easily, and when it does it can never connect?

I've seen all the posts for fixing the wifi on the 4s, none of them work! So, who can tell me why my iPhone 4S cannot find any wifi when it used to find wifi, and when it does find a wifi network it can never connect? You think apple would have a clue how to fix it! Because turning the wifi on and off doesn't work, resorting network settings doesn't work, even restoring phone to factory default doesn't work...

Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

Iphone3 cannot find any wifi, although there are available around

iphone3 cannot find any wifi, although there are available wifi signal around? how can i fix this?

See if this helps...
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
Then restart the iPhone.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If that didn't help, try here > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
And make sure the battery is charged.

I keep getting this message when I launch PP "Premiere Pro cannot find any capable video play modules"

I keep getting this message when I launch PP "Premiere Pro cannot find any capable video play modules". I've read through a few threads and made the recommended changes but still no luck, it crashes everytime. I have a Mac Pro 2010 with a Nivdia Quadro FX 4800.

Hello and thanks for the response. Yes, I've read that post and many others, I still get the same message when trying to open. I've realized there's no way to get tech support for any of the products I'm using. Is there another place hat can help me with this problem? I really wanted to try PP but looks like I won't be able to.
Thanks

TS1398 My phone is not able to find any wifi networks.

My phone is not able to find any wifi networks.
I have another i phone and it is connected just fine, my ipad and computers are conneted just fine.
I followed apples directions but still not working.
It stopped working around december 5th.

Thats odd unless its a Windows 9x system lol. You shouldn't need drivers for USB storage devices. They are designed to identify themselves as Mass Storage class devices which will run with the built in drivers after Windows 98. Occasionally you will get a device that have deliberately been designed to not meet the standards (for extra features) but you saying this happens with other USB devices says this isn't the case.
Does it only happen with storage devices? Like hard drives, flash drives etc?
The model and windows version shouldn't make much of a difference in this case but it doesn't hurt to know what kind of system you are using.
Look up the USB controller in your system, if there are drivers for that, download them. If it's an already Windows supported device there is no need to download anything for it (have your Windows disc handy if you use XP) then uninstall the USB controller from the Windows Device Manager using the option to remove the drivers as well if the option is there. Restart and let Windows find the USB controller and install it (and any other devices attached to the USB bus). You may find your keyboard, mouse and any other USB devices won't work until Windows has finished installing them. Just give it some time, Windows will get there.

After I connect with my iPhone (3GS 5.0.1) to any Ad-hoc wireless Network then walk away out of the reach of my wifi network, my iPhone can't find any wifi Network afterwards, only by turning off the iPhone completely and turning on again.

After I connect my iPhone (3GS 5.0.1) to any Ad-hoc wireless Network then walk away out of the reach of my wifi network, my iPhone can't find any wifi Network afterwards, only by turning off the iPhone completely and turning on again.
switching off wifi and on again or going into airplane mode did't help!
This problem happens only with ad-hoc wifi networks not with normal ones.
(Ad-Hoc network was created on XP Computer)

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Sorry, but the 169.x.x.x IP address is internally generated by the iPod (and iPhone) and indicates that a network has been detected but no IP address has been issued. Your friends iPhone was not connected to your ad hoc network either - it connected to the internet through the 3G network.
You should read through the Vista help screens on ad hoc networking for some insight how this works. You should be able to get some ideas there.
In the mean time, $40 or less will buy you a very capable wireless router with four Ethernet ports and will simplify your network tremendously. Having used Windows ICS for a long time, the addition of a router and a real network simplified things so much.

HT1695 Can't Find any wifi Networks after updragding to 6.0.1

My iPhone 4 can't find any wifi networks after upgrading to iOS 6.0.1 and i can't downgrade what should i do ?
I swtiched off the connection from mobile and restared the router and nothing changed!
Note: My laptop found about 7 Networks my iphone finds nothing

I have the exact same problem.
It popped up on my 8gb iPhone (2.0.1) first time when i just purchased it. The Wheel spins as if it's searching for hotspots (and there are a lot of hotspots where i live). My MacbookPro finds them without any problems.
Second time i experienced these problems, it was after i didn't have a chance to charge the phone, and i figured it was a "Low battery, disable wifi" thing. But even though i charged it fully, it still can't scan networks.
I managed to discharge the battery, until the 10% warning popped up. I connected the charger, and sure enough, it was able to scan networks. Then when i tried to join a network, it stopped working again, and since then i've been unable to scan wifi. Now 3 resets, and a lot of fiddling later, i'm no further than i was before.
The fact that it was able to scan momentarily points me in the direction of the software, but i'm not so sure anymore.
Hope someone can shed some light on this.

My macbook is connecting to a wifi network, but my ipad in the same room does not recognize it.

my macbook is connecting to a wifi network, but my ipad in the same room does not recognize it. I have reset the ipad settings, etc. Any ideas?

Try a restart of your entire system. Shut down both your modem and your router if they are two separate devices. Then restart each item one at a time with about three minutes between each device.
Also reset the iPad by pressing and holding the Start and Home keys together, ignoring there'd slider until the Apple logo appears.

you have definitely tried the correct steps, all you would need to do now is a back up & restore to factory settings. If after that the issue remains then you would most likely need a replacement unit.

Macbook PRO can't find ANY Wifi network - only at home

Hi, i have a very strange problem with my *Macbook Pro*. I have 3 apple computers at home and one pc. On all machines Wifi works fine, except my new alu Macbook Pro. Important note is, when im with my macbook on other place, office, caffe, *Wifi works fine. But when im at home, this macbook simply can't find ANY network, it's blind.* Interesting thing is, all other computers are several years old and WiFi works fine on them. My friend also bought a brand new macbook pro, and this machine also couldn't fine any network at my home, or in other case when it found networks, it couldn't connect and recieve error message "Connection timed out". I noticed there is new Wifi network in our range, is it possible that this network can cause "blindness" on new macbooks?

*I have to say, I'm really glad you are trying to help guys.*
Well, router is almost on default settings, SSID is brodcasted and i'm not filtering MAC adresses. I tried changed channels, diffrent types of security or no security, no luck.
Guys, maybe i wrote it wrong, but this MacBook can't see ANY network. Around me there are 4-6 other networks which I'm able to see from other machines. So *problem is, this Macbook can't seen ANY network - not just mine.* BUT when i'm with this Macbook in office for example, or any other location, Wifi works....
And one more important thing, this happened suddenly. I was able few months ago to find any WiFi around me with this Macbook. No changes to router, no changes to mac. Problem is somwhere in the middle...try to focus on this: why i'm not able to see any of those cca 6 networks around me. I really think it has to do something with distorted signal and Wifi card used in new macbooks. It's really sick, because all other machines works perfectly (MB 07, MBP 06, PC, iPhone 3g)
I found a log on the router, and it's happening all the time:

MacBook pro can't find any wifi networks. HELP PLEASE

Ok so my late 2011 MacBook pro15" starTed dropping out of my network every now and then. Rebooting it got it hooked back up again. Now just a few weeks ago its not picking up any real wifi networks (according to my phone and what my computer showed me before there's a bunch in range). It shows this network called setup as the only wifi network in range and when I click on it, there is this little grey picture of a computer where the wifi bars should be.
Xbox, phone and all of the roommates devices are hooked up just fine.
I've taken it out to a couple of coffee shops and its the same thing. Either seeing no networks or that setup thing.
I've tried restarting, verify and repair disk, deleting all of my preferred networks. I don't know what else to do.

Also I've tried to use one of those usb WiFi adapters that essentially bypasses the computers airport card. That shows all the networks in range but will fail to connect to any of them.

My macbook pro cannot find any wifi networks unless it is in the same room as the router.
