My Macbook Pro keeps dropping interenet. iPad and iPhone's do not.
My Macbook keeps losing the internet connection every few minutes, then I reconnect instantly and it connects, then repeats. However, the iPad and iPhone, do not drop the connection to that network. And my xbox is also connected to that network with no issues. Which led me to think it was laptop specific. However, I tried updating the settings on the network and even tried a wireless usb adapter, to no avail. Then I tried swapping over to the 'Guest' network I created when I got the airport router....now the laptop holds the connection fine on the guest network.......which leads me back to the other network as being bad.....but if that is the case, why do the iPad and iPhone and Xbox work fine on that network? Any suggestions? Thanks!
Hi CJP326,
If you are having unexplained persistent disconnects when connected to that specific network, you may find the following article helpful:

After installing Maverick on my macbook pro, imessage on my ipad and Iphone stopped working properly.
What I get is a RED exclamation and "Not Delivered". It happens even if i resend it over and over.
I have made sure that the 3 devices all have the same settins in iMessage.
I have made sure to try doing it from the same network and from the cell provider network.
I have tried rebooting all three devices.
The only way to get it to work on my iphone and iPad is to dissable it in Mavericks on my MacBook Pro.
Is this a "feature" of the new OS?Hi,
On the iOS devices remove the Apple ID.
Set the device in to Airplane Mode (this breaks with the server)
Start with the iPhone to add back the Apple ID - only after you see the iPhone Number is Verified.
The Restart the Mac Version
Accept the pops ups that state what the iPhone is using.
Do same on iPad.

Hi. MAny thanks for the answer. Am new to Apple - what's the "real" MacBook Pro forum?
I would like to know also!
For your issue - Solution may be found if you search in the "More Like This" section over in the right column.
Change your router channel. Sometimes this is all you will have to do.
Power cycling the router. Read the router's user manual or contact their tech support for instructions.
System Preferences/Internet & Network/Network
Unlock the padlock
Locations: Automatic
Highlight Airport
Click the Assist Me button
In the popup window click the Diagnostic button.
System Preferences/Network- Unlock padlock. Highlight Airport. Network Name-select your name. Click on the Advanced button. Airport/Preferred Networks-delete all that is not your network.
Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined." Click the OK button and lock the padlock. Restart your computer.

Check to see if an extra entry is present in the DNS Tab for your wireless connection (System Preferences/Network/Airport/Advanced/DNS).
Delete all extra entries that you find.

I have a macbook pro version 10.7.5 and my mailbox will not open at all and comes up with a quit message even though it is not open. how can i get into my account. it works on my iPhone and i have internet and all other functions working on my computer
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.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful. -

Hi I am having trouble with iMessage on the mac book pro, it doesnt sync with the ipad and iPhone, both the ipad and iPhone do but not on the mac book pro , has anyone any suggestions, thanks in advance
First, make sure that all your devices are using the same Apple ID in iMessages including your Mac. Second, your messages that you've already started on your devices will not show up on your Mac - only ones that you start from now on will show up. Third, if you're still not syncing accross all devices, make sure you read the directions on the first page of this thread. It should work after performing those steps. Good luck!

I upgraded my software on my Dell Desktop and now my iPad and iPhone calendars are not syncing with my desktop calendar. I have uninstalled and re-installed my apple software. What am I missing?
I recommend reaching out to Citrix via their support system -

The receiver app has a specific list of servers it's compatible with, if the server is not on the list the app won't work in OS X.

Wifi working on 1 iPad and iPhone but not on another IPad (same model). All posted fixes tried with no help. The iPad recognizes the network but the wheel keeps spinning. Any help is greatly appreciated.
first step would be reboot
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_1 the cure for most ios ills
then I would troubleshoot by taking it to another wifi network to see if it had problems in general with wifi
then if it did not then I would try to update the firmware of my wifi router for better compatability -

Apple TV; sharing to my iPad and iPhone works but not to wife's iPad or iPhone?
My apologies, I have been searching FAQ's and couldn't find any resolution - it is late for me!
Purchased new Apple TV (2nd gen) last week and after solving slow internet issues set up all content to be "home shared" to my devices (iPad 2, iPhone 4) - GOOD! Unfortunately nothing is being shared to my wife's iPad 2 or iPhone 3GS from the Apple TV but is being shared from the iMac to her devices- BAD!
We make all purchases on my iTunes account but also use my account for "home sharing" on my wife's devices, all settings APPEAR to be the same. I did notice that in iTunes, under "Store", "my account", "manage my account" that only my iMac, iPad and iPhone show up as devices "In the Cloud". If I click "manage devices" I don't have an option to add more devices (wife's iPad and iPhone). How can I add them so they receive content from Apple TV as well?
The only work-around I have figured out is to download the purchases that were originally made on the Apple TV in my iMac iTunes and then they are pushed to my wife's devices - not very elegant. Is there a way to use iCloud to push purchases from Apple TV to all of our devices or am I doomed to do this every time something is bought on Apple TV?
Thank you for reading my tale of woe!!Have you checked the Console logs to see if the system or iTunes might be reporting an issue with your equipment?
You can find Console in Applications>Utilities>Console. -
Ipad and iphone purchased music not sychronizing but have same id
Hello
I have bought this music downloaded to my iphone with apple id/ icloud when synchronizing today with my Ipad on my PC, only the Ipad music downloads remain. How can I get this back? They were all downloaded with the same account and saved to icloud but now this has disappeared.
How can I get this back I want to consolidate all the music I bought between Ipad and Iphone, I have just given up on consolidating my ipod as they are two different accounts and it got messy.
Please let me know how to get this back?
ThanksHi
This partly resolved my question, I managed to synch 20% of the purchased music between ipad and iphone but the other 80% has disappeared is not on my itunes either but I can see the downloads in my purchased history account information. Very strange. Any ideas on what to do next?
Thanks!
