My Macbook pro won't connect to any other wifi except my home wifi.

Everywhere I go , my computer wont connect to any other wifi . I'm currently visiting a friend in Florida and I tried connecting to her wifi and it says it's connect but there is no internet connection . I know her router is fine because my iPhone is running off of it perfectly but it won't let me use internet on my Mac .

I suggest you try to join the Network at the Genius Bar of an Apple Store. Be sure to make an appointment, as they can be crazy-busy. It's free.

Macbook Pro won't connect to wireless printer anymore suddenly

Suddenly my Macbook Pro won't connect to my HP Photosmart B210e Printer. I have tried adding it via IP address, it worked but I can't print anything. It says the printer is busy and idle? I updated the software and drivers. All other computers and devices in my home connect just fine. It is connected to our wireless router as is my laptop.
I have searched online and done all the solutions I could find and nothing is working. VERY frustrated as I have to log onto my Dell to print anything.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Kim

"It says the printer is busy and idle?"
System Preferences>print and Scan. What is the staus of the printer? Green light for idle or yellow light for in busy? Have you tried power down the printer and paowering it back up?

My MacBook Pro won't connect to the Internet, but my phone and PC will.

My MacBook Pro won't connect to the Internet. My iPhone has no problem doing so, and neither does my PC. I think it's something to do with my DNS, but I'm not sure. My network connections say that both my Ethernet or FireWire are failed. What's wrong with my MacBook? Is there a simple way to fix this?

Macbook Pro won't connect to WIFI

Help! My new Macbook Pro won't connect to my home's existing WIFI network. The other computers (PCs) are running on it without a problem but when I try to join the network it rejects my password as being incorrect, though it definitely is the right one!

Check to make sure the Caps Lock is off.
What type of wireless security are you using? If it's WEP Mac's don't do WEP anymore and you will need to change it to WPA or WPA2.

MacBook Pro won't connect to home wifi, but will connect to other networks

Help! MacBook Pro won't connect to home wifi but will connect to other networks. Others can connect to my home network. I've tried diagnostics, resetting the router, restarting my computer, and forgetting the network and then trying to access it. Nothing works.

help.........!

Change your router channel. Sometimes this is all you will have to do.
Power cycling the router. Read the router's user manual if using one of Apple's or contact the tech support department for instructions if using a 3rd party router.
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.

No internet connection (wireless)
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.
Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined."

Macbook Pro won't connect via DVI

Hello all,
My Macbook Pro suddenly won't connect to any monitor using a DVI connection. If I use a VGA monitor (via my DVI to VGA connector), everything is dandy, but connecting directly to a (i.e.) Samsung or an Apple Monitor via DVI, the OS just blinks once (like if there is a connection), but the display is not being detected and is not turned on. I tried to delete all display preferences and I've zapped the PRAM without any result.
Before I send the powerbook in for repair (my fear is that it's the DVI-connector that's broken), I just wanted to see if there's anybody out there who have had similar problems, that perhaps could be solved via software (i.e. the system)...
Cheers,
Massimo

I am having the same problem as the rest on this thread. My VGA works fine in most cases, but my DVI will not work with any amount of prodding. Also, I have been trying to make use of matrox dualhead2go's and triplehead2go's, but these will not function correctly unfortunately. I got the whole logic board replaced a year after I got this laptop because it had strange display issues (the old red/blue square problem) but I'm far out of warranty now.
I am a student and a video artist requiring use of multiple projectors for my final mfa thesis project..but this is really going to mess up my plans if there isn't a free/cheap fix..anyone have suggestions for speaking with tech support/customer relations?

My macbook pro won't turn on, any suggestions

my macbook pro won't start up...it begins to boot up.but stops short before the screen comes on. the light which indicates that the computer is on dims and the booting.stops. any tips?

I had this same exact problem from a couple days ago and it was fixed this morning, I remembered reading this and HAD to come back and help you. I left my macbook on all night and let the battery completly die out, after that I recharged it and it was back to normall. I hope this works for you as well!

My macbook pro won't connect to internet and won't shut off. Any suggestions?

My machine appears to be operating normally except that it won't connect to wifi and won't restart or shut down.
I've tried Command q'ing all running programs and still nothing.
Guidance would be much appreciated.

You could also try a Safe Boot - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564 - I would also make sure to get permissions repaired.
There are a host of other means to try, but these are a good start.

MacBook Pro Won't Connect to the Internet

Hi hi. Okay, I've noticed this unusual behavior in my MacBook Pro (Intel Core Duo, 2.4 GhZ, 15-inch, probabl 2 months old now) just last night. It connects to the wireless network but will not load any webpages. If I type in www.google.com or so, it says Contacting "www.google.com" and it stays on it and the page remains blank. I'm writing this from my MacBook which seems to connect fine to this wireless network. The problem persists in the MacBook Pro when I'm on XP (boot camp) and when I'm on Leopard. I've restarted the machine and everything but it still occurs. Prior to me discovering the problem, I think the MacBook Pro was asleep for 2 days (in XP).
I've opened Network Diagnostics in Leopard and it detects the wireless network and everything but then it says it needs a WEP password. But the MacBook can join this same network without a password. I access the university network (from a dorm) so while you don't have to have a password to connect to the internet, you only log in when you open an internet browser and then sign in with the student ID (but its not the WEP password, if that makes sense). Basically, I can't acess the internet if I don't log into the internet and of course even the university login page won't show up. Can anyone please help me? It's driving me nuts. Thanks!
P.S.- I've been hearing other MBP users having this problem but I don't know if I installed the Airport Update, and restarting doesn't help either.

Your OS is shown as 10.4.7, but most people who are having problems similar to yours have later versions of Tiger or Leopard. If you're running a later version than 10.4.7, please update your settings for this.
Some people, including me, have found that setting the router to "G-only" mode solves the problem (at least until Apple fixes the problem in a software release.) Please post a reply or email me as to whether this works for you.
TIA

Macbook Pro won't connect to the Internet anymore.

I am posting on behalf of a friend.
She has a MacBook Pro 13" Early 2011 model. She can connect to Wifi and Ethernet cables fine, But when it comes to using the internet it won't work.
She tried Safari, Firefox and Chrome, and other software that uses internet connectivity doesn't work.
We used different internet connections, restarting the Laptop but it wouldn't work.
She upgraded to Mac OS X Yosemite, see it would fix the problem but again, nothing.
The Odd thing about it is that she has two account in the MacBook Pro, The Other account being her sisters, does get internet connectivity and browses the internet with no problem.
We made a new account and see if that would do the trick but still does the same thing. No internet connection.
Any suggestions how to fix this?

I tried re-installing Mountain Lion 10.8.3 but it didn´t help.
Assuming your can access email ok ?
First, install the OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo)
Then restart your Mac. That will reinstall any missing system files.
Then try Safari.
