  • My iPhone 4s will not connect with my home WiFi network. I have ios6 on my phone. I have updated my IMac and my MacBook Pro with iOS 10.8.2. Anyone have any suggestions? It was connecting with no problems prior to updating my two computers.

    My iPhone 4s will not connect with my home WiFi network. I have ios6 on my iPhone. The connection was working perfectly before I updated my IMac and my MacBook Pro to ios 10.8.2. I have had ios6 since I purchased the phone a couple of months ago. It searches for a network and finds them, but when it asks for my password, it will not accept the password. Have never had this happen before.

    Hello krosebear,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 
    If you are having difficulties connecting your iPhone to a Wi-Fi network, the following article should provide troubleshooting that should help you resolve the issue.

  • MacBook Pro super slow, unusable! Even after full restore

    My Mac got incredibly slow and ghee fans were tremendously loud and fast. Idk what was wrong so I did a full restore. Even wiped all my data. The past week my MacBook Pro has been so slow I have been unable to use it. Loading, typing, even moving the mouse.

    Hi C,
    Try running Verify Disk from Disk Utility. It could be a HD issue.
    It might help someone to help you if you listed your exact model of MBP, what OS you're running, how much RAM you have, the capacity of your HD and how much free space you have available on it.

  • MacBook Pro very slow and junk mail after using wifi in Italy

    After using different wifis in airports and hotels in Italy I am getting lots of junk mail in my inbox.  Also my internet is extremely slow.  I got a new router hoping that was the problem, and ATT checked our line to see if that was the problem.  I 'm afraid I picked up some sort of virus.  Is there an easy solution?

  • Macbook Pro will not reliably connect to our wifi router  - any suggestions?!

    Hi
    My partner has recently bought a second-hand (but fully functional) Macbook Pro running OS X 10.5.8 to set up in our home office.
    Our wireless router is not in the same room (it's in the living room via the hallway) but no other computer or device in the house has any problems detecting and connecting to the router.
    My partner's pc netbook and my iPhone 4S connect fine all through the flat. My iMac (located in the office) also has no problems.
    We have managed to get the Pro connected to the internet wirelessly a couple of times in the living room (although not all the time) but as soon as it is moved into the office the connection cannot be found or successfully connected to.
    Can't help but think that there's some little setting or something that we've not done that is causing the problem - seems odd that all the other devices connecting have never had any issues! I'm not completely technically minded, but have had enough experience with computers to feel fairly confident on them - just wondered if anyone might be able to suggest anything?
    The Network Preferences pages don't seem to be any help to me - I've tried several things in there that would usually help to rectify a troublesome connection.
    Any help or advice would be so much appreciated - my partner bought this Macbook Pro to replace her netbook and a reliable online connection is paramount as she is designing websites etc. with it!
    Thanks,
    Jimbanzee

    Hi JohnTh
    Thanks for your suggestion (and apologies that it's taken forever for me to try this out and get back to you)!
    I think I've done what you suggested but I think my lack of computer knowledge is letting me down as it did not work.
    I went to Network in System Preferences whilst connected to the internet via Ethernet cable, and managed to connect to my router, I then locked the changes, removed the cable and then restarted but straight away upon logging in, it had lost the changes and was unable to find the wireless connection.
    To be honest, it will not always find it when the ethernet cable is plugged in - in fact, I've witnessed it go from green light connection, having found the router and getting an ip address to amber without the ip address to not being able to locate the router (all whilst still plugged in on ethernet) within the space of about two minutes!
    I'm a bit hazy on the details of your suggestion when you say:
    Go to the wireless setup from here, and change the name to something that you can recognise. Make sure that it is password protected. Save it so that it'll write itself to its flash memory (your network will briefly not work).
    I went to the Network page of System Preferences straight away - is there somewhere else I should do the wireless setup? Our wireless connection is (as it is on my iMac which connects fine wirelessly) protected with a WPA2 Personal password.
    How do I save it so that the setup will write itself to it's flash memory? Sorry not sure where this is!
    I have also tried to remove the 'remembered' network from the advanced airport settings using the '-' button and then adding it '+' back in, but this also does not seem to work.
    We are planning on upgrading the operating system from 10.5.8 once we can get a secure connection - my partner is happy that she can connect to the internet via Ethernet cable but she is wanting to sell her PC netbook (in order to part fund the purchase of the Macbook Pro) and she's not happy to do so until she can connect wirelessly successfully!
    Finally, thanks for all your help and suggestions - really appreciate it and hope to find a solution!

    Hi,
    I've got a similar problem and I hope you can help me.
    Macbook Pro 15" mid. 2010 (recently updated to os x Mountain Lion) restarts on its own "because of a problem".
    It's been a major issue in the last months, causing big troubles and preventing me from working, as it happens quite often in the same day.
    [Note: it's being doing that with Snow Leopard too, before the update!]
    Here's what I already tried:
    1. upgraded the RAM memory to 8 Gb;
    2. formatted the system;
    3. migrated the older data from Time Machine.
    This didn't cause the problem to stop. So I thought it may have been a software problem and:
    1. formatted again;
    2. didn't migrate data using Time Machine, but copied just the few files I needed most from another backup;
    3. installed some programs (Office, Adobe CS5 suite, AutoCAD 2013), but this time from another source.
    The problem persists.
    Does anyone know if it is a hardware problem? How can I fix it?
    Thank you in advance,
    g

  • HT4199 My Macbook Pro 2012 keeps dropping wifi every now and then, any suggestions?

    I have Macbook Pro 2012, since purchase, it keeps dropping wifi connection.  I have other apple and non-apple devices those does not have this issue.  Any suggestions?

    I have the same problem. I had the issue with mac osx 10.8.2 and after updating to 10.8.3 it still drops the wifi connection constantly. It is so annoying and other devices (e.g. my iPhone 5 works fine). I have a 2012 MacBook Pro retina. Hope anybody has a solution

  • My MacBook pro has slowed to a stop after upgrading from lion to mountain lion three days ago. Apps started freezing, now it has trouble even starting up. So disappointed with Apple right now.

    Mountain lion has caused my MacBook to freeze up and fail to even start up.

    Glad to hear that!  Often, a drive that has minor corruption that has gone unnoticed will melt down when a major system install writes tens of thousands of new files.  That's probably what happened to you.  In the future, you should always reboot in recovery mode (hold down command-R at startup) and repair the hard drive with Disk Utility prior to any system update or upgrade.
    Regarding iLife, what system did your machine originally come with?  If Snow Leopard or earlier, the iLife apps will be on one of the gray disks that your machine shipped with (the one labeled "Applications").  Alternately, if you bought newer versions in the App Store, simply open the App Store and click Purchases...  they should show up there.
    If your machine came with Lion preinstalled, you should be able to re-download iLife from the App Store.  There's information on how that is done here:

  • My MacBook Pro has slowed to a crawl.  It started when I was printing off the Internet.  Now I get the spinning circle in just about every move.  Any help?

    My MacBook Pro has slowed to a crawl.  It started when I was printing off the internet.  Now I get a "spinning ball" with many actions.  Any help?

  • Macbook Pro Extremely Slow All Of A Sudden, Wiped Completely and Problem Persists

    My 2012 Macbook Pro has slowed down to nearly a crawl in just about everything I try to do, espescially with anything that utilizes the internet.  Activity Moniter initially revealed the issue to be the Kernal_Task proccess using too much memory as well as com.apple.finder. Also, Spotlight was indexing constantly until I disabled my disk from being accesed by it within the privacy tab of Spotlight Preference. The spinning beach ball of death has appeared more times in the past few days then I have ever seen in the entire year I've had my Macbook Pro.
    I literally tried everything that I could find. I've done everything from resetting the Pram and the other thing (I forgot the name but when you hold down four keys at once during start up). I've tried killing proccesses, rebooting my mac several times, closing out programs, deleting all applications, just about eveything you can think of. Safari, Google Chrome, and Firefox were all extremely slow. Attemping to verify disk permissions or repair failed because of the sheer amount of time it was taking. I let the computer sit for an entire day and it seemed to make little to no progress in repairing the disk. I even booted the computer in Safe Mode and it was stil performing poorly.
    The issue is NOT Hard Drive space on my Macbook. I know this because it was working perfectly fine and then all of sudden started behaving like this. All of these issues ultimately led to me doing something many others wouldn't, WIPING MY ENTIRE MAC AND RESTORING FROM FACTORY SETTINGS.
    The issue STILL persists although not as severe. Internet browing is bearable but nowhere near perfomring as it should. Even simple task such as opening up a new tab or switching tabs results in a spinning beach ball for about 5-10 seconds. Opening an application such as Pages or Twitter results in a spinning beach ball for 5-10 seconds before working slowly. Simply right clicking results in spinning beach ball.
    I have no idea what the issue could be at this point. I am now about to attempt to verify the disk again to see if it fixes any issues but a year old Apple product should NOT be behaving like this.
    Any advice is appreciated!

      Model Name:          MacBook Pro

      Memory:          4 GB

    Melophage,
    I've been scouring the community for help, and hoping you might be able and willing to look at my etrecheck results and share any wisdom and feedback, problem causers you see! I updated to OS Mavericks through apple updates without really realizing I was installinga  whole new system. I have been experiencing the lag issues that many others have, and have a Kernel_Task for which the CPU skyrockets at random and consistently slows things down. I've run disk repair in recovery mode, repaired permission, PRAM, a few 'basics', but have not really had success in addressing the issue (I guess because I don't really understand the issue!)
    Thanks in advance for any time and suggestions!!

    DiskWarrior is a program that tries to repair low level directories that can get messed up. From their website ...
    What is DiskWarrior?
    DiskWarrior is the safest, most technologically advanced, most powerful utility to eliminate directory damage available for any computer.
    There are other utilities that do similar things.
    Looking for login items is probably a better bet. You do this by opening System Preferences and then looking into Accounts. From there you should see a tab for Login Items. There will be some things you want to keep. iTunes helper and some other helper files are actually nice to have around, but you may have things that look like total sludge. Get rid of those. If you aren't sure, try to google the name of the program and you will likely get some more info about it before destroying it.

  • Macbook pro has slowed considerably and spinning beach ball appears lots

    My Macbook pro has slowed considerably and spinning beach ball appears lots recently.
    After I installed 10.5.7 it started happening. When I open anything including system prefs and apple apps the ball appears. I'm on 10.5.8 and it seems to be either as slow or slower. Startup is a bit faster now, but it'll go to the beach ball before I even do anything remotely intensive on the system.
    My computer is almost 3 years old but I don't install any weird software on it and have 30% of my system disk free. I'm an audio guy and use logic, pro tools and generally keep my computer clean.
    I've tried starting another user account to check if its my original user that has the issue, but thats just as slow too.
    Please help...
    Thanks
    Oh yeah, I repaired disk permissions too but it hasn't seemed to have changed anything

    Thanks for the reply Dale.
    I have just tried that and Disk Utility said my MAc HD appears to be ok....????
    So I don't really understand what else I can do...
    I tried using Onyx a couple of months ago but it seemed to make things worse and more temperamental.
    If there is a next level of solutions I could try it would be much appreciated.
    This is what appears when I verify or repair the permissions... I doesn't change if I repair them though.....
    Verify permissions for “Macintosh HD”
    Reading permissions database.
    Reading the permissions database can take several minutes.

  • My macbook pro is slowing down!what is the best way to speed it up?what is the best drive cleaner application i can use?

    my macbook pro is slowing down!i was looking for drive cleaning applications bau i couldn't decide which one is more useful!

    There are NO applications that will make your MBP run faster.  At best they will have no effect, at worst they will create more problems.
    Start with this comprehensive trouble shooting document.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3521
    Pay particular attention to the Hard Drive and third party applications.
    Ciao.

    First, the worst way to try to fix a malfunctioning system is to upgrade the OS. Doing that will usually make the problem worse.
    When you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.  
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
    Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
    Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
