My new macbook pro can't find my Belkin network

My new Macbook Pro is recognizing all sorts of newtorks in the area except the one in my home. I have a Belkin N+ wireless router which I know is working because two other computers (pc) and my wife's iPad are having no problems connecting. This is a frustrating start for a hesitant pc-->mac transition. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Just finished trying the suggestion from my Mac store "genius", and it WORKED. He suggested that I connect to the router directly with ethernet. His thought being that once my MBP found the IP address it would be able to find the network wirelessly. While still connected I went to System Preferences/Network, selected WI-Fi and entered the network info (name & password). There it was - connected.
Don't know how to make this solution available to everyone with the same problem. If someone knows how, go for it.
Thanks to everyone who responded. Your efforts are appreciated.

New MacBook Pro can't find the base station

I just bought a new MacBook Pro and AirPort Extreme Base Station. My house is wired for Ethernet so I plugged the Airport Exteme into one of the Ethernet outlets and did the set-up using my old iMac G5 over the network. (I had to download the latest software for the AirPort Extreme to the iMac before this would work right.) I finally got to the point where I got a green light on the Base Station, but when I search with the AirPort Utility on the MacBook Pro it can't find it, even when it is physically only 3 feet away. I then plugged the MacBook Pro into the AirPort Extreme with an Ethernet cable and it saw it - no problem. I then downloaded all the software updates to the MacBook Pro, restarted, unplugged the Ethernet and tried again. The AirPort Utility still can't find the Base Station. I am running 10.4.10 on both machines. I have 10.5, but don't plan un updating until I get this to work. I spent about half an hour listening to Muzak while trying to get to support and finally gave up. Any suggestions?

New MacBook Pro can't find time machine

I just purchased a new MacBook Pro and I want to restore my system from a time machine back up located on a Time Capsule. I am attempting to do this using the Set-Up Assistant. The process is as follows. I select from Time Machine or other disk and click continue. On the Select the Source screen, my Time Capsule shows up. I click continue and on the next screen the new MBP can not find a source as there is nothing listed in the source box. It continues to search but will not find my time capsule. When I click the Back button, I see my Time Capsule appear for an instant before it shifts back to the previous screen. My MBP is connected to my Time Capsule via ethernet cable and there is web access using that cable.
I don't know what to do. Any suggestions will be great. Thanks.

You don't want to do that by copying.
Your best bet, by far, is to use Setup Assistant. If your Mac is running Snow Leopard, see Using Setup Assistant on Snow Leopard or Leopard.
If it came with Lion, it's a bit different: Using Setup Assistant on Lion

MacBook Pro Can't find home wireless network

I've been having some issues getting my macbook pro, running OS 10.7.5, to find my home wireless network. The network doesn't show up when it searches automatically, and when I type the network name in to find it manually, it says no network found. The computer connects to all other networks and finds then with no issues, and other MacBooks are able to find my home network and connect to it again with no issues.
The computer used to be able to find the network, and then it just stopped working. I have tried all the standard fixes, resetting the router, computer, PRAM, forgetting the network, deleting the key from keychain, but nothing seems to work. I tried googling the issue, but wasn't able to find a problem similar to the one I have.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Still having problems with this.
I have upgraded to Mavericks, hoping that the problem would be fixed, but it hasn't. I still get all networks completely disappearing - even if I search for them they are not found.
But I reboot the computer and it works! But when I am in OS or Bootcamp mode and put the Mac to sleep, it does not see the networks again! I have to reboot the computer for it to work.
I have even got a new router which can receive the b,g and n signals etc. as I was told by a Mac techie here that Macs 'look' for the n signal but can also work with the b and g signals and THAT maybe my old router only transmits b and g or something like that .
This, to me, sounds like a Mac software problem. I had a similar problem on a previous Mac on my "old router" and a totally different router in a different country's telephone system.
I now have the same problem with a new MBP on a new router!

Macbook PRO can't find ANY Wifi network - only at home

Hi, i have a very strange problem with my *Macbook Pro*. I have 3 apple computers at home and one pc. On all machines Wifi works fine, except my new alu Macbook Pro. Important note is, when im with my macbook on other place, office, caffe, *Wifi works fine. But when im at home, this macbook simply can't find ANY network, it's blind.* Interesting thing is, all other computers are several years old and WiFi works fine on them. My friend also bought a brand new macbook pro, and this machine also couldn't fine any network at my home, or in other case when it found networks, it couldn't connect and recieve error message "Connection timed out". I noticed there is new Wifi network in our range, is it possible that this network can cause "blindness" on new macbooks?

*I have to say, I'm really glad you are trying to help guys.*
Well, router is almost on default settings, SSID is brodcasted and i'm not filtering MAC adresses. I tried changed channels, diffrent types of security or no security, no luck.
Guys, maybe i wrote it wrong, but this MacBook can't see ANY network. Around me there are 4-6 other networks which I'm able to see from other machines. So *problem is, this Macbook can't seen ANY network - not just mine.* BUT when i'm with this Macbook in office for example, or any other location, Wifi works....
And one more important thing, this happened suddenly. I was able few months ago to find any WiFi around me with this Macbook. No changes to router, no changes to mac. Problem is somwhere in the middle...try to focus on this: why i'm not able to see any of those cca 6 networks around me. I really think it has to do something with distorted signal and Wifi card used in new macbooks. It's really sick, because all other machines works perfectly (MB 07, MBP 06, PC, iPhone 3g)
I found a log on the router, and it's happening all the time:

New MacBook Pro can't 'find' my Windows notebook

Hi, I got a new MacBook last week and I tried to transfer all my files from my notebook, which is running on windows, to it. They are both using the same WiFi connection yet I left it for ages and it still couldn't 'find' it. Does it take a long time to find other computers? Or is there another way to connect the two computers?
Any help is appreciated.

Hi m_dukes,
1. Click GO
2. Select "Connect to Server"
3. Type smb://192.168.2.100/ <---The computers IP address or computer name that has the shared folders
4. Hit Connect
5. Enter login and password from your windows pc
that's it.

MacBook pro can't find any wifi networks. HELP PLEASE

Ok so my late 2011 MacBook pro15" starTed dropping out of my network every now and then. Rebooting it got it hooked back up again. Now just a few weeks ago its not picking up any real wifi networks (according to my phone and what my computer showed me before there's a bunch in range). It shows this network called setup as the only wifi network in range and when I click on it, there is this little grey picture of a computer where the wifi bars should be.
Xbox, phone and all of the roommates devices are hooked up just fine.
I've taken it out to a couple of coffee shops and its the same thing. Either seeing no networks or that setup thing.
I've tried restarting, verify and repair disk, deleting all of my preferred networks. I don't know what else to do.

Also I've tried to use one of those usb WiFi adapters that essentially bypasses the computers airport card. That shows all the networks in range but will fail to connect to any of them.

New macbook pro can't find wireless printer

I have an HP1320nw, configured to run wirelessly through a linksys E1000 wireless router.
my wifes windows box can print to it ... and I can print to it via USB. But when I try and add it as an IP printer, my mac can't see it.
also ... A ping on the windows box works ... a ping on the mac times out
any ideas ?

If the Ping from the Mac times out then that explains why the Mac does not see the printer. But note that you never see a printer when adding it via the Add Printer > IP pane. A printer will only be seen if it supports a broadcasting protocol like Bonjour and if it does it will appear in the Add Printer > Default pane.
So working on why the Mac cannot ping the printer, the most likely is the Mac is set to a different subnet to the printer. If you make a note of the IP address used by the Mac, the PC and the printer, they should all be set to the same IP subnet. For a home network this is typically the first three sets of numbers in the IP address. The last number is known as the network address, and each device must have a different network address.
So if the PC and printer have an IP address of 192.168.1.x, where x is the individual network address for each device, then the Mac must also be set to 192.168.1.x.
The other thing to check is the Gateway / Router address. This will be the IP address of the Linksys router and this should also be set in the Network settings on the Mac.
If the Mac is correctly set then are you able to ping the Linksys router or the PC?

New MacBook Pro can't find my A1314 wireless keyboard

Any thoughts? I've run the Bluetooth set-up assistant until I'm blue in the face, but, although it lists the keyboard as a device, it can't seem to "see" it sufficiently to pair with it. (No such problems with my much older wireless mouse, oddly!) All thoughts gratefully received..

Did you take a look at Apple's help docs?

Also, did you run the "Bluetooth keyboard assistant" or the normal "Setup Bluetooth device"

Macbook pro can't find preferred wireless network

My father signed onto my wireless network using his own laptop (PC) with my passkey. Then after he had been on I tried to connect to the internet with my macbook (and iPhone) and my network was gone. If I look at the list of available networks it lists my neighbor's (which usually doesn't happen) and the name of my father's computer but ours is gone. If I go to my preferred networks, I see mine listed but then when I try and connect to it is says it cannot be found. I tried creating it again but then when I enter the password it says it's invalid. I tried connecting to the network under my dad's computer's name to see if somehow the name changed on its own but it says invalid password as well. Any ideas?

"If I look at the list of available networks it lists my neighbor's (which usually doesn't happen) and the name of my father's computer but ours is gone."
Your father's computer should not be showing up in the list of networks unless he mucked around with your router. Log in to your router's admin pages and see what the issues are.

Macbook Pro can't find Wifi after closing

SOMETIMES I get a popup window with networks that it picks up and SOMETIMES my network is listed and I can select that, but not all the time. Why cant my Macbook find my network sometimes? It can find everybody elses except mine!

Macbook Pro can't find my home wifi

I just got my battery replaced.. All my data disappeared. The worst thing is, I can't find my home wifi network but my neighbour wifi network is available. Pls help me fix this.
Mine is a MBP 2011.
Your help is much appreciated!

Hello, Sallyelainelee!
You may want to check the settings on your Router to make sure there isn't something in its configuration that's preventing the MacBook Pro from seeing it. If the MacBook Pro can connect to other WiFi networks OK, I would imagine that this would be the case.
