My macbook wont recognise the wifi , but my other devices do?
struggling to connect to the wifi, my laptop just doesnt recognise the router, yet it recognises my next door neighbours networks, what can i do, all my other devices such as my iphone recognise it perfectly
Power off the router. Power it back on.
Wait until all the lights are properly lit.
Restart the Mac.
Best.

My MacBook logs onto the wifi but not my iPhones or iPad? What to do?
Macbook
iPhone 3GS just moved to Version 5
iPhone 4 just moved to Version 5
iPad
My MacBook has successfully logged on through an airport device in a new location, after a reconfiguration. However our iPhones and iPad don't want to follow. It shows the network icon but when an app is launched, it says it's not connected to the internet.
I have reset 'network settings' and also rebooted, without success (with retyped password).
What next?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
ChristianThank you bob Timmons!
I did as you suggested elsewhere on this site.
If you have a simple modem (only 1 ethernet port) check to make sure that the Connection Sharing setting on the AirPort Extreme is set correctly.
AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address would be the correct setting.
Then try a full modem reset and power cycle as follows
Push the reset button on the modem
Power the modem down
Pull the battery if it is easily accessible
Leave the modem off at least 30 minutes
Power down the rest of the entire network
Start the modem first, let it run 4-5 minutes by itself
Start the AirPort Extreme, let it run 4-5 minutes by itself
Then start each device up one at a time" -
IPod is recognised via USB, but all other devices are no longer recognised.
After a year of good work, at one moment the USB ports on the front of the computer doesn't recognise any device, except the Ipod Touch 4G wich is working fine. All other devices are not capable of communicating with the PC using USB-ports (camera's, SD-cardreaders, TomTom, etc.). It might have something todo with the IOS 4.2.1 upgrade (Apple), but I'am not sure. Any solutions/suggestions please?
Message was edited by: GuitarArnieWelcome to the discussions,
did you check for possible BIOS updates for your computer or the other devices you want to connect?

I have a macbook retina with a partition of windows 7 and Yosemite. When I use time machine in Yosemite it wont recognise the macintosh HD, but it recognises the windows hd (bootcamp ). Does anybody know why ?
Please provide a bit more detail on what 'recognize' means. A screen shot is always very helpful.

I just bought the new MacBook Air a few days ago and my Internet connection is so slow. My iPhone's connection works fine when connected to the wifi but the MacBook connects for a few seconds then drops completely. What do I do? I tried connecting it to my phone's hotspot and it works perfectly. I'm a new Mac user so I have no idea what to do. I have Comcast xfinity cable and Internet. Thanks for the help.

Try the following to rule out a software problem:

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router

My macbook wont sync the music i downloaded onto a flash drive and onto the mac book what do i do?
My macbook wont sync the music i downloaded onto a flash drive and onto the mac book what do i do?
If you subscribed to iTunes match the songs are kept in icloud. If you didn't but you did save the actual iTunes library folder which should include the music, video, etc. you should be able to just drag this file back to your machine in the same place and when you open iTunes it will give you a chance to identify the iTunes library folder.
You can test this to find out if you saved the media files or not and don't need to attach your nano to do it.
You are correct that once you connect the nano it will clear the existing files from it and sync it with the new iTunes library.
If you don't have the media files i'm not sure if/how to get them back on a windows ipod. I have everything backed up regularly because of the horror stories I have seen & heard. -

I have just received my second MacBook Air 11" the Wifi connection keeps dropping. Also, after 3 meters away from the rooter it keeps searching for network! It is the second try and the same issues. Will Apple ever come up with a solution? There is a program pack for the connection issue but I cannot believe that this computer wifi keeps connected only while nearby the rooter!
Applied this update?
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4611?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
If the update is installed aready, you may have to wait until OS X 10.8.5
update if and when it is relased.
