My MacBookAir doesn't pick up the internet as well as my MacBook laptop. Why?

They may have different WiFi cards installed and the antennas are in all likely hood different.

  • Is it possible to use the iPhone as a modem and pick up the internet ?

    I wondered if it was possible to use the airport facility on an iMac G5 to pick up the internet from an iPhone placed near by ? THis would effectively make the iPhone a wireless modem ?
    I've not got an iPhone yet and this would be really useful.
    Thanks in advance.

    The iPhone does not currently support tethering. There was an app that did that, but it was pulled from the App Store after only a few hours of availability, and all such apps have apparently been banned.

  • I've just changed my router and whilst my laptops sync ok, my G4 tower which connects via an airport express doesn't connect to the internet. I think it's something to do with the IP or DHCP settings but have had no success, any help much appreciated.

    Hi Jake,
    Is it connecting to the Router or Modem?
    Is the new Router using maybe WPA2 encryption? If so, G4s can only do WPA or less.

    The Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of System Preferences>Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON.
    Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
    Then... Try putting these numbers in Network>Airport>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Then Apply.
    Also, turn off IPv6:

  • Tomcat doesn't pick up the changes to jsp files

    My original problem was JAR locking. I changed context.xml files both in conf\ and my application.
    jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9\conf\context.xml
    <Context  reloadable="true" antiResourceLocking="true" antiJARLocking="true">
           <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>     
    </Context>myApplication\META-INF\context.xml
    <Context  reloadable="true" antiResourceLocking="true" antiJARLocking="true">        
        <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
    </Context>Now I can undeploy without having jarLocking problem.
    But now tomcat doesn't pick up the changes to jsp files automatically!!!
    I have to undeploy/deploy even I just change jsp files!
    What's wrong?

    You can't do anything except speak in a different accent. Apple would have to add specific support for different accents in a future iOS update.

  • When I plug my iPad Air in, it doesn't pick up the charger being plugged in.

    When I plug my ipad air in, it doesn't pick up the charger until I move the plug around a few times, and when I let it go, it doesn't pick it up anymore.
    ive tried using a different brand charger, and I'm now back to using the one that came with an iPod that I got a few months before the iPad.
    the charge cord works perfectly fine on the iPod but doesn't work on the iPad.
    this has been happening for a few weeks and it's getting really frustrating.
    please help. 

    Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

  • TS3474 My 6th gen nano has suddenly stopped syncing. It goes through the motions but doesn't pick up the latest downloaded tunes.

    My 6th gen nano has suddenly stoped syncing. It goes through the motions but doesn't pick up the latest dowloaded tunes from the itunes store.

    The ipod shows on iTunes and it says it's syncing, but no content is transfered.
    This Apple knowledge-base article may help address that issue.

  • Safari doesn't connect to the internet from my mailbox or from Google. I use a MAC, OS X version 10.8.4

    My MAC desktop doesn't connect to the internet from an email or from  safari.  Only the first few letters of the web address I want to use appears in the address bar and then the wheel spins and spins non-stop.  Thanks for any suggestions on how to fix this problem.

    Power off the router. Wait awhile. Power it back on. Wait until all the lights are lit up properly.
    It will take a while.
    Restart the computer.
    Start up in Safe Mode

  • IPhone connects to wifi but MacBook doesn't pick up the signal.

    iPhone connects to wifi but MacBook doesn't pick up the signal

    Okay, this morning it happened again. I unplugged my iphone, surfed some pages fine. Five minutes later I woke it up again, tried to go to the app store. Nothing.
    Tried to surf some newspaper sites. Nothing. So I used an IP address rather than the www.blablabla.com address and it works.
    Confirmed. Some sort of cirumstances let the DNS service crash. Only IP addresses work. After a reboot (that's the only chance) it works again.
    Network reset, restore iOS, all other typical help steps, never cured it.
    That's a bug.

  • WiFi doesn't connect to the internet.

    I ran cccleaner for mac on my macbook 1,1 and now it doesn't connect to the internet. what should I do?

    When you are connected, try Settings > WiFi and touch the blue > next to the network name. You should see your IP address (if it is 169, then there are other problems), subnet mask, the Router IP address, and the DNS address. If you do not see the last two, touch the DHCP button, scroll down and touch Renew Lease. Check your settings again. If they are there, you should be good to go.
    If they are not, try this Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings and when your iPod restarts, log back into your network.
    Be aware that some public networks require that you log in further via a web screen to actually access their network.

  • E71 Doesn't connect to the internet

    Hi all
    My E71 doesn’t' connect to the internet using SIM card it connects only by Wireless modem. I tried to format it and update the software many times, and still the same issue. I tried as well to re configure and install the access point and yet no internet. it is really a hectic  to me not to use GPS especially i travel much.

    Couple of things.
    Make sure you get the correct settings for web access from your ISP (I'm assuming you have a plan with the ISP that gives you internet access - not all do), and make sure they are all entered correctly.
    Start the web browser and goto Options > Settings > General > Access Point and make sure the ISP access point selected.
    Internet access is not necessary in order to use GPS. 
    If I've helped you, you can thank me by clicking the green 'kudos' star on my post. Cheers.

  • Doesn't connect to the internet anymore

    Hi,
    my macbook air doesn't connect to the internet anymore. Diagnostics don't find a solution, either.
    Network status as follows:
    wi-fi: green
    wi-fi settings: green
    Network settings: green
    isp: green
    Internet: Failed
    Server: Failed
    I am writing this on a different apple computer using the same network, ISP and so on. Obviously, this one works, and so do a couple of other computers in the house. Hence it can't be a problem with the router, ISP or so. Must be a problem in the macbook air.
    WHo has an idea?

    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network ▹ Advanced ▹ TCP/IP
    What values are shown for the following?
    Configure IPv4
    IPv4 Address
    Subnet Mask

    Who can shed some light on my ongoing connection problem.
    After upgrading my iPad Air with IOS 7.06, I could no longer connect to the internet.
    I have 2 MacBooks Air, 1 ipad mini and one iPhone 4S running on the same network, and they are all connected to the net and function well.
    So I cleaned up the ipad completely, installed the latest firmware and reinstalled my apps : no connection.
    I tried all things of resets and forgets. No result.
    I have been fondling with my Airport Extreme 5 , but that did not help much.
    This morning I went to a neighbor , hooked my ipad air on his network, typed the password and the thing all worked fine.
    I have tried to connect the ipad air as an ethernet client, but that did not work. „Not enough power“ was the statement
    Ideas anyone ?

    Yes I tried this manyfold. But did not work.  Reading on, I took Tesserac's advice. Shut down router and computer.
    Start router after 15 minutes and wait another 10 minutes before starting the computer.
    Et voila.... everything is back in working order,
