  • 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 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?

  • 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.

  • 15" MacBook Pro randomly loses connection to my AirPort Express wi-fi network.

    My 15" MacBook Pro randomly loses connection to my AirPort Express wi-fi network. I have to switch off wi-fi on my Mac then switch on again to reconnect. Any reason why this random occurrence keeps happening which never happened before? Any solutions and fixes would also be welcomed.

    In the airport utility, you can alter the radio modes... and change the channels from automatic to a manual one.
    Hold down the Option key, and  click on your wifi icon, it will tell you what channels are currently being used on your OSX.

  • 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.

    GStreakT:
    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 wireless network unless tilted

    Hi! My MacBook Pro occasionally has trouble connecting to the wireless network in my house, but that can usually be solved by turning Airport off and then back on. Today (very suddenly), Airport disconnected from my network and could not find it again. I tried restarting my MacBook Pro and router multiple times. Finally it was able to connect, but here's the thing: it only works if my MacBook is tilted at an angle. If I try to open a webpage while the MacBook is sitting normally on a flat surface, the page won't load. If I lift one side of the MacBook so that it's tilted at a 45 degree angle, the page will load. Once it's level again the internet will stop working and the Airport signal bars will turn gray.
    I've never come across a problem like this before. Everything was running fine this morning. It is so strange and I have no idea what to do! Help, please? Is my Airport dying? Is something loose inside? My MacBook Pro is about 4 years old.

    Delete your network from system preferences, network, advanced.
    re enter your network you wish to join
    If that fails then do a PRAM reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
    and a SMC reset

    Maybe something to do with the motion sensor
    if so try resetting the SMC

  • 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.

  • MacBook Pro won't connect wirelessly after 10.5.8 update

    I have a MacBook Pro laptop, which was acquired in 2006. I have used it with my Linksys WRT54G router successfully for years but since I recently updated to 10.5.8, it was able to connect one time, which lasted for a day or so. Now it no longer can connect.
    I am using Automatic DHCP with my wireless router's WPA Personal 2 with password security and yet it appears that Airport gets stuck because it assigns itself a IP number and of course, that appears to be the wrong number. I have tried to go and use manual settings, copying the settings from my iPod Touch and iPad. Ironically, when I tried that, the MBP attempt seemed to "kick' the two other devices off the network and I had to physically shut down the MBP completely and then reset the iPad a few times in order for it to reconnect again. The iPod Touch only had to be shut down and restarted and it was back in business.
    Any ideas? One question: Can I set my network settings manually or do I have to use Automatic DHCP? Oh yeah, I have tried the tips that William Boyd provided in the thread +"MacBook connects, but MacBookPro won't"+ as seen here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10695921&start=1
    Tried them all. Nothing helped.

    I went into my MBP Network settings for Airport and instead of using DHCP, I clicked on Advanced and entered the data for my server, router and DNS manually. I also used an IP number provided by my Linksys router but I adjusted the last three digits so they would not conflict with the last three digits of my iPad and iPod Touch. Once I got all those elements in manually, I was able to connect with all three of my devices at one time with no conflicts.
    What used to be automatic is no more. I have to do it manually. For all three devices...

  • 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 connect to my routeur (D-Link DIR-601)

    Hi all,
    I have a brand new MacBook Pro, but it won't connect to the Internet provided by my routeur, which is a D-Link DIR-601. Although it identifies the network and connects to it, it does not connect to the Internet.
    When I go under 'Network Diagnostics', the Network Status shows green iconsfor Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Settings and ISP; a yellow icon for Network Settings and red icons for Internet and Server (under which it is written Failed). At the first step (Choose network port configuration), I chose Wi-Fi (other choices are Ethernet and Other) and then my network, at which point a window pops out and asks me to "Select a certificate or enter a name and password for network". The only certificate option is an address starting by com.apple.ubiquity.peer-uuid. (followed by a serie of letters and numbers).
    I tried both options - selecting the certificate option or entering a network name -, and everytime I enter my password and press Continue, a window "Network Change Detected" pops up. I select Continue, and the next step asks me to enter my network password. I have to select Wireless Security (WEP Password, WEP 40/128-bit hex or WEP 40/128-bit ASCII) and enter my password. Whichever option I chose, I end up on a note "Unable to join Wi-Fi Network".
    Thanks all in advance for your help!

    Turn off IPv6 in your Network > Advanced> TCP/IP settings and reboot.
    Check the date and time again to make sure, they are correct.
    Cheek the link I've provided.
    I now totally hate Apple's routers, I've suffered for years with one and a lightening strike took it out, so I got a Dual Band High Performance Netgear router and set it up with advanced options for $99, it works like a charm.
    With Apple's routers I felt that I had to constantly mess with them to get them to work, there was problems, the Netgear I feel I can just leave it alone.
    It think it is because Apple routers have PING turned on, thus it's answering calls and thus more subjected to a hack attempts, when the Netgear has PING turned off by default, so it doesn't acknowledge itself online.
