Hello Rattisate,
Sorry to hear you are not able to connect to Wi-Fi on your MacBook Pro. I would be concerned about this too. You can find information on how to troubleshoot this in the following article:

Brand new Macbook Pro won't connect to wireless internet

Hi all, I'm relatively new to the whole mac thing, but I have a problem. I got a macbook pro for college last week, and have been struggling to connect to the internet ever since. I notice other's are having issues too.
So here's what's going on:
When I set my pro to using DHCP, I get no IP address, or sometimes get the self assigned address 169.etc. Yet when I put in a static address, subnet mask and router info I've found for my network, It says connected but when i click on safari no internet. I've run diagnostic in safari and all the lights go green (under manual ip etc) except internet and server (which are yellow). What's going on here? It can't be the airport card, because my pro connects seamlessly to my college's wifi, my ethernet cable and rogers internet stick. So is it my modem/router combo (using a siemens SE567), or is it because I'm running 10.6.4?
Please help, I have to use the internet for uploading videos and other heavy internet usages that my internet stick can't do (unless I want a $100 bill each month), and being tethered to my ethernet is kind of a bother.
*I should also note I have a pc laptop that runs fine off the network (siemens se567), though setting it up also gave me issues.*
Thanks

I'd suggest you repost over in MacBook Pro forum, and in Using OS X Networking.
There are Apple technotes on troubleshooting networking and setup.

Macbook Pro won't connect to Android Phone via Bluetooth (Tether)

I am trying to set up the "Tether" app that will turn my Android phone into a wifi hotspot. I have a Macbook Pro running 10.7.3.
I've done everything suggested in the Tether setup, for using an Android Phone with a Macbook.
Problem seems to be with Bluetooth. Using the Bluetooth setup assistant, I am able to successfully pair the computer and phone, or so it seems. The phone shows the pair, and the computer says yay, we're paired.
However when I exit the assistant, the phone is shown as "not connected" in the list of connected Bluetooth Devices.
I see from searching forums that there have been similar Bluetooth connectivity issues with audio devices such as speakers.
Has anyone been able to successfully troubleshoot?
Has anyone set up Tether successfully with a Macbook and Android phone? I have a Samsung Nexus S 4G. Yeah I know, time for an iphone. As soon as the contract is up in June.

I don't think you have to change anything on your home network. It is your MBP that is confused - it appears your computer is trying to connect to the network at your mother's place.
I suggest you go to System Preferences / Network and delete all the networks. (Select the name on the left and click -)
Then restart the computer and setup the network connection as if for the first time. You can use the Assistant to guide you.
(All of the above assumes you are running Yosemite. The details with older OS may be different, but the basic idea is the same for any OS.)

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 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.

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.

I am unable to connect my ipad to the internet via wifi, when asked for my password I get message "unable toI ge join network" however my laptop is able to access the internet using similar procedures and in the same physical location.?

I am unable to connect my IPad to the internet via WiFi, when asked for a password then attempt to join I get the messag "unable to join the network" however if I use my laptop in the same physical locationand using similar procedures I am able to conect.?

What router are you using? make/model/version
What security type are you using? If it is WEP then symbolic (non hex) keys may be converted to hex in different ways by different operating systems. Is your laptop a Windows PC?
If you are using WEP then drop it and move to WPA2. WEP has been deprecated by the WiFi alliance since 2004 as insecure (it can be hacked in seconds).

I am trying to set up internet sharing from my macbook air but there does not seem to be an option for this because the air is connected to the internet via wifi connection. Is it possible to still share this?

It depends upon how the other machines are connecting to your MBA:
If the the other machines are also using wi-fi, they can connect directly to the wireless access point (router) without going through your MBA
If the other machines are connecting to the MBA using ethernet you can share your wi-fi connection to them

How do I set up LiveRig or TouchOSC with Mainstage 2.2.2? Both apps send signals but none are received by Mainstage and both the ipad 3 (6.1) and macbook pro (10.7.5) see each other via WIFI?

As I said before both app's send signals but none are received by Mainstage and both the ipad 3 (6.1) and macbook pro (10.7.5) see each other via WIFI on the network set up, which I think I did right. I have tried MIDI Disigner and Mainstage shows MIDI activiti, what can I be doing wrong?
Thanx in advance.

I agree anti-relay can be using UBE feature. However, there is serious problem in reject the spam mail. My nms is using UBE feature to stop spam mail. According to the work flow of the UBE, the mail is received by nms completely and UBE is going to invesgate the mail address. Although UBE can stop the spam mail, the spam mail have a trouble in returning the mail to the sender. The reason is the sender address is usually not existed in the world. That will cause a lot of mail waiting in the mail queue.
In my experience, do not use UBE for anti-relay.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You need to turn the services you want to sync (calendars, contacts etc) on on both devices from settings > iCloud.

Hi LandJ1980,
I would recommend first trying these steps:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

If that does not work, this article has some additional ideas to try, even though you are only seeing this with the App Store:
