New MacBook Pro can't connect to D-link router

Hi everyone! I just upgraded from an early 2007 MacBook Pro to the latest 15" MacBook Pro with Core i7 chip. Did a full migration with the Migration Assistant. Everything went fine. Could connect effortlessly with my Airport Extreme Base Station at home. However at work, I use a D-link wireless router. And somehow, the computer refuses to connect to it!! I see my office network on the list when I click on the Airport icon in the menu bar but when I attempt to connect to it, I get a connection time out error. The office network is also in my Network pref pane under "Preferred Networks". But somehow, the computer refuses to connect to it. I've already tried turning the Airport off and on again. Re-starting the computer. Re-starting the router. Nothing works.
My old MacBook Pro was fine with the D-link router but this new computer seems to be rather cranky.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Strange thing happened. Today the D-link router suddenly decided to work with my MacBook Pro!! I did not do anything or make any changes to any settings. Multiple re-starts yesterday failed to yield any results. And yet today it is working!! I have absolutely no idea why.
Perhaps the hardware is "shy" and needs multiple "introductions" before it wants to come out and play. Your guess is as good as mine. Anyway, as long as it works and stays working, I'm happy!

  • New Macbook Pro Can't See Other Macs

    My Powerbook and iMac can see each other over the network and do file transfers, but my new Macbook Pro can't. The other computers show up in Bonjour Browser, but when I try to connect to them (either via their computer name, e.g. my-computer.local, or by ip) it can't. It tells me the address is wrong. It can't even ping them, and they can't ping it. It's weird because I can access both the internet and the router settings.

    After I did that Airport stopped working. The menubar icon said "Airport not configured" and there were no network interfaces in System Preferences. So I tried just putting the airport prefs back, and restarting. The same thing happened, so I had to put the whole folder back where it was.

  • I have a new macbook pro hooked up to a belkin wireless router. My HP officejet printer is also connected to the router. I cannont get the printer to work from my computer without restarting my computer evertime I want to print. How do I fix this?

    I have a new Macbook Pro hooked up to a new Belkin wireless router. I can connect to the internet without a problem. I have an HP officejet printer hooked up the the router to work wirelessley, The router is reading it as connected. My computer reads it as offline. If I reset my computer it will print whatever the first thing is in the que but nothing else and does not work after that. Is there some sort of setting that I am missing? I am trying to set this printer up to work wirelessly from three mac laptops in my house but I can't even get it to work on one right now. Any help would be awesome

  • New macbook pro - can i use my old hard drive?

    Have a new MacBook Pro coming tomorrow to replace to an older MBP.  Everything is on the old HD and have been reading that I can switch the HDs out but would have to reinstall the operating system so all the different components from the new MBP are recognized and will be funtional.  Seems pretty easy but I don't want to screw it up thinking it's too simple so I want to see if there is a good way to pull this off or another way to do this.  My hope at the end of the process is that I have my files and software loaded on the old HD on the new MBP.  Any tips so I don't screw it up?

    Simple Run Software Update or go to the Apple download site and download the 10.6.8 Combo Update then run it. Your 10.6.x will be updated to 10.6.8. Then you should be able to connect that drive to your new MBP, either internally or by some type of SATA to USB adapter (enclosure or just an adapter), and boot the new MBP from that old drive.
    Be aware that Lion does not run older PPC apps. So that is one big reason for running, installing, Snow Leopard on newer Macs.

  • MacBook Pro - Can't connect to Airport Base Station in XP

    I have a new MacBook Pro running 10.4 and Win XP using Boot Camp. I also have an Airport Extreme Base Station. The MacBook finds and can use the base station perfectly when booted to 10.4. When booted into XP, it just keeps saying that it can't see any wireless networks (none available). I've tried rebooting the base station, repairing the connection in windows - Pretty much everything I can think of, but still no joy. It's really starting to stick in my craw. If anyone has any suggestions on how to get this to work I'd appreciate the help, as having to re-boot the Mac to copy stuff across to my G5 constantly is super annoying.....
    Thanks

    Thank you! It's very difficult for me to even mention the "W" word without somehow belittling it. I truly loathe using that OS, but am sadly forced to since we use Access for writing up orders. Woe is me!

  • MacBook Pro can't connect to iPod via wireless

    Hi,
    I have a fresh installed Mac OS X 10.5.5 on my new MacBook Pro.
    Nothing was installed on it! no firewall, nothing! But i can't get connection to my iPod touch 2g.
    I can see my iPod via bonjour, it has an IP, but i can't successful ping it. When i start the application "Remote" on my iPod, i can see it in iTunes, can't connect to itunes either.
    What's wrong? On my other macbook i have no problem at all.
    Thank you very much

    I am having the same issue. If I plug an Ethernet cable into my Late 2008 MBP, I can connect to my iPod touch using any of the several apps, like Remote, AirSharing, 1Password, etc.
    However, I cannot connect to the ipod using the MPB's airport. Like the peter2k, I can't even ping the iPod. Other laptops on the same network can wireless connect and ping my ipod just fine.
    This is driving me nuts! Btw, prior to getting this laptop, I had an Early 2008 MBP that I used to connect to my ipod touch. I did a migration to this new MBP, but it has never been able to connect.

  • Brand new macbook pro 15" when connected to external LCD display in high resolution ,flickers often

    Hi,
    I have brand new macbook pro 15" with retina display.
    I have connected external LCD display (Samsung B2230) using Apple VGA adaptor & thunderbolt port. But LCD display flickers quite oftenly. I read community blogs where many macbook pro users like me are facing similiar issue.
    There is no problem with LCD display as it works fine with Lenova laptops.
    Can anybody please provide me the solution to this problem.?

  • 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

  • My brand new Macbook pro can't power my USB Mbox 2 pro . Why not?

    Can ANYONE help me because it seems like both APPLE and AVID can't. I just got a new macbook pro last month Aug/2011 just for audio and production. I installed protools 7.3 and when plugging my Mbox in the power lights on it are very dim and Protools says Unable to locate digidesign hardware. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and better yet how I can fix it? I tried diiferent USB cables, different USB ports, I tried connecting through an AC powered USB hub, I also have a crap PC on which the same software was installed and it works fine on that. Right now my mac OS is Lion 10.7.1.

    Yeah, I just posted about the exact same issue.  I have an Imac and another Macbook Pro and it works fine, just not on the mew Macbook Pro.  I'm baffled, but intend to go to the Apple store to check this out.  If I get anywhere, I will report back.

  • 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.
    Jim

    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.
