Problem while using Internet USB Connection with Macbook Pro

Hi...
My name is udayan and i am from India, I am using MACBOOK PRO from last 1 year. For most of this period i have used wi-fi connection for my laptop. But recently i have purchased a Relience Net connect Device for Internet facility. As soon as i started using this device, i have started facing an unusual problem. Whenever i start using it, after 5-10 mins. a fade screen appears and asks me to RESTART the laptop. This keeps on happening after every 10-15 mins which is pretty annoying. I have tried to use the same Internet device on normal laptops and it works just fine with that machine.
Can you please help me to understand this phenomena? Is it a MAC limitation or something else?
Hope to hear it from you soon.....
Cheers!!!

I tried to connect with Ethernet the MACBOOK Pro to the modem but the situation hasn't changed
Are you saying you cannot connect to the internet wirelessly and through the ethernet?  If so, there is something else going on.

  • Using Thinkpad Trackpoint USB Keyboard with MacBook Pro, Air, Retina (with pictures)

    Using Thinkpad Trackpoint USB Keyboard with MacBook Pro, Air, Retina (with pictures)
    The purpose of this discussion thread is to:
    (1) Get community thoughts around using alternative and complimentary mousing approaches with MacBooks 
    (2) To share a current and searchable set of resources for those interested in leveraging a best-of-both-worlds approach for using a non-Apple Trackpoint Keyboard with an Apple MacBook.
    (3) To level-set the fact that a Thinkpad Trackpoint USB Keyboard works with MacBooks automatically and instantly out-of-the-box.
    Note: I created this discussion because I found that all the other discussion threads related to using a Thinkpad Trackpoint Keyboard with MacBooks were archived and therefore I could not post my thoughts there.
    I have been using MacBooks for 3+ years now.  Airs, Pros, Retinas etc.  I LOVE the built-in MacBook Apple Trackpad.  It is wonderful.  Apple has no equal as far as Trackpads go.
    In addition, I have been using the Thinkpad Trackpoint USB Keyboard with my MacBooks for ~2 years, and below is why I have found BOTH the Apple Trackpad and Thinkpad Trackpoint to be great.
    The Trackpoint and Trackpad both have their sweet spots.  Personally I use the built-in Apple Trackpad on my MacBooks when I'm using my MacBook for less than 1 hour, loosely speaking.  If I am going to be heads-down for more than 1 hr writing, reading, surfing, graphic designing, programming, workshop facilitating, teaching, mindmapping, presenting, demoing, etc. then I pull out my "Lenovo Thinkpad USB Keyboard with Trackpoint (55Y9003) > https://www.google.com/search?&q=lenovo+thinkpad+trackpoint+usb+keyboard
    I know many will laugh at me for using a Thinkpad Trackpoint Keyboard with a MacBook...  Keeping an open mind, let's just agree that there is historical precedence for alternative mousing devices.  If I could only choose one, I would use the Apple MacBook built-in Trackpad exclusively, however with alternatives come potential benefits.  Keep in mind that Apple, Microsoft, Logitech and many other companies make millions of dollars each year providing alternative peripheral devices for computers, and mousing is no exception.  Regardless, I just want to share my positive experiences using both. :-)
    Why should you care?  For *some* people the following is true and meaningful.  The Trackpoint (the little red eraser head stick thingy) in the midle of the keyboard enables useful and unique dynamics/use-cases, including:
    You don't have to take your hand(s) off the keyboard to mouse
    You can independantly click without accidentally moving the mouse (Yes I know some people don't have issues with this)
    You don't run out of finger-gesture runway when you're moving your mouse across the screen (I know this is a gray area for some people)
    For mouse-movement-heavy applications (e.g. Graphics, drawing, etc.) the Trackpoint *is at times* more exacting
    Below I share some pictures (which I know *look* ridiculous to some people, but none-the-less help demystify what this looks like.  And, while ridiculous looking, it is actually quite thin and elegant once you get over the initial shock of seeing these two diverse technologies combined in this way.
    Rest assured, the keyboard shown below (google "55Y9003") is VERY light, thin and fits in almost any laptop case/backpack easily so it is not a big deal to carry it, if you work on-the-go.  In addition:
    It is UNCANNY how well it fits on top of the keyboard space of all MacBooks. 
    It fits perfectly around the corners of the MacBook Pro/Air/Retina keyboard
    Note: I took one of the 5 rubber feet/pads off the bottom of my keyboard, the one in the middle
    Lastly, you can actually use the built-in Apple Trackpad at the SAME TIME as the Trackpoint Keyboard. 
    It is quite a nice best-of-both-worlds approach for people that like the benefits of the "Why should you care?" use cases above.
    Please reply and comment with your thoughts and please let's keep it positive, constructive and friendly :-)
    Pictures Below:
    My two Retina MBPs, one with and one without the keyboard, so you can easily see the difference.  (As if you wouldn't)
    A slightly closer-up shot of just the RMBP with the Trackpoint Keyboard on top
    Please reply and comment with your thoughts and please let's keep it positive, constructive and friendly :-)

    Newer Bluetooth version of the ThinkPad External Trackpoint Keyboard available...
    The new version is smaller, so you can use your MacBook Trackpad at the same time as your Trackpoint keyboard.
    Here is the Lenovo model/Part Number# 0B47190
    Here is a picture of what it looks like:
    Note: Just like the older larger USB model keyboard, there is a rubbery footpad in the middle of the bottom of the keyboard that I just peeled off.  Otherwise, it makes the "H" key press accidentally under-neath the keyboard.  Once I took that off, it fit perfectly over and around the built-in MacBook keyboard, so I can optionally put it on top of my MacBook for easy typing. :-)

    You could try updating your apple TV and then restarting it. Bit of a guess.

  • Slow Connection with MacBook Pro

    Whenever I try to connect my MacBook Pro (Early 2011) to the Apple TV (3rd generation) for Aiplay Mirroring, it takes a long time to connect, and when it connects, the screen is almost frozen and the same happens when I try home sharing, everyting I play starts lagging, Airplaying music works for a bit then starts lagging every two seconds. I've tried AirPlay with my iPhone 4s and it works perfectly with music video and mirroring. I'm using the latest OS on all devices.

    Sounds like it is not getting a great WiFi conneciton.  Streaming video is not tolorant of anyting other than a perfect connection.   You need a newer WiFi routner to support streaming video.  If you have one that supports the N standard then I would try resetting your Wifi router.

    How do I connect my USB SuperDrive with my MacBookPro?

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

  • Problem of connection with macbook pro and panasonic TV

    Hello,
    I have a macbook pro and a panasonic TH-42PW*4. This TV has a VGA input. That's why I have bought a VGA adaptater and a VGA cable.
    However, when I have tried at home. I copied the video and I can see the name of the model of my TV on my macbook pro. But, it doesn't work. There's nothing on my tv.
    If somebody could help, that would be really great.

    You might do better not posting your question on the "Using iPhone" board. Perhaps here: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=190

  • DLink router wont connect with MacBook Pro

    Hello Everyone... I need a little bit of help on this one!!
    My mom just bought a brand new MacBook Pro (yay, she finally switched!) , but for some reason I can not get her MBP to connect to their wireless. The Airport card will no even find the network to connect to. There is not a password set and asking my parents they are not sure if there was a cd or anything to set it up. They have a DLink router that is several years old (DI-624 is the model #) and I have been scratching my brain to figure this out and can not get it!! There are several posts that give suggestions, but none seem relevant to my problem.
    Any help would be awesome and thank you sooo much for your help!!

    assuming your mum's previous computer was/still is able to connect to the DLink, it probably means that SSID Broadcast in the wifi settings (of the DLInk) has been turned off. which means nothing can 'see' the DLink that hasn't connected to it previously.
    you'll need to temporarily plug the MBP into the DLink via a Cat5 Ethernet cable, log into the DLink's config website (probably http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1), and check the wifi settings. no install CD required
    u said no 'password' had been set. do you mean no wifi encryption had been configured? you'd be well advised to if there's anyone living within 100m of your Mum . while you're at it, see what encryption settings have been set up there / are available. if it's WEP (or no encryption at all as you suggest?), you'd be well advised to change it to WPA. WEP is now hopelessly broken (easily crackable within a minute with the right tools). just be aware that any change here will affect any other wireless device that's also using the DLink.
    if WPA is not offered, goto the DLink website and check for new firmware...

  • Wireless Mighty Mouse won't connect with MacBook Pro in Bootcamp

    I recently swapped my Bootcamp-partitioned hard drive from an older Core Duo MacBook to a late-2007 Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro.  I had no problem using the wireless mouse with the MacBook.  I'd click on the Windows desktop once it booted up and it worked flawlessly.
    But on the newer MacBook Pro it won't stay connected.  I have to pair it with the Windows Bluetooth control panel each time I log in.
    I'm not sure if this is connected to the issue or not, but I'm not able to use the trackpad and buttons on the MacBook Pro keyboard either.
    I've seached the discussions without any success.  Advice anyone?
    Thanks in advance.
    Patrick

    Well, by some stroke of dumb luck it finally connected. I slid the on/off switch open until the green light started to blink, when the mouse connected I opened it all the way and decided to work.

  • How do I use the App store with macbook pro and mac pro

    I currently use the app store with the mac book, but want to buy (share?) apps and music with the mac pro.
    I can't find anything that specifically outlines how this works.
    I use SplashID with the macbook and an iPhone, and want to use it (and sync it) on the mac pro as well.
    If you buy apps for a macbook, can you use them on a second machine, or do you need to buy it a second time?

    Your license from the MAS allows you to download and install the apps on as many Macs as you own or have under your control (institutional or employer supplied Macs.) The Mac should to be running Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard or Mac OS X 10.7.2 Lion. Open the MAS app on the Mac Pro and sign into your account to have access to download all of your previous purchases in the Purchased pane.
    Simple apps can also be dragged & dropped over a network connection from the MacBook to the Mac Pro.

  • Using an external HD with MacBook Pro

    I just bought an xHD because I use a lot of memory. I have some questions that I hope you can help me answer:
    - The HD comes with an ON and OFF switch. Is it an absolute must to switch on and off as I turn the Mac on and off?
    - Is it a must to keep the power adaptor connected at all times? Can I just keep the USB connected - is that enough?
    - Is it safe to have the HD on at all times? I want to save all my files from now on directly to the HD.
    - What are the chances that the HD can be corrupted forever and I will lose all my files? These files are very important to me -- they are my life and career -- so is there anything I can do to make sure the HD doesn't become corrupted?
    Thanks very much for your help!

    It is not absolutely essential to turn off the drive. Most drives have a low power mode. But if you're turning your computer off, why not put the drive on a surge strip with a power switch. That way after you power off your computer, you then just turn off the switch. This is what I do for my external monitor, speakers, etc. Those power bricks still use some power so by switching off the surge strip, I completely turn off the power bricks as well.
    Some surge strips have a "autosense" outlet that you plug your computer into. And when the strip senses that the computer is off, it turns off the other outlets. You may want to try one of those.
    But if you leave the adapters and hard drive plugged in, thats fine.
    - What are the chances that the HD can be corrupted forever and I will lose all my files? These files are very important to me -- they are my life and career -- so is there anything I can do to make sure the HD doesn't become corrupted?
    All hard drives will eventually fail. ALL hard drives. There are things you can do to reduce the chances of data corruption, but you can never guarantee it will never be corrupted. But beyond that, you may accidentally delete or overwrite a file. No software or hardware failure there, that's "human failure."
    Having only one copy of the data, you are very likely going to be upset at some point in the future. As the saying goes, there are two kinds of people: those that have lost data, and those that will lose data. So to protect any "important" documents, you need backups. Which means that if you're going to only store your documents on the external drive, you need another drive and make a duplicate.
    If your internal hard drive is large enough for all your documents, then the simplest thing for you may be to use the external hard drive for Time Machine backups. So then when your internal drive dies, you can restore with the Time Machine backup. If you still want to have the documents on the external drive, then get a second external drive for Time Machine.

  • Can Use 'any' DVI monitor with Macbook Pro?

    I just want a simple 20" or 22" monitor as a 2nd screen for my Macbook Pro 2008 Unibody
    Can I use any monitor as long as it says "DVI"? and then get the mini-display > DVI adaptor to run it from the macbook?
    For example any from this list here would be ok : http://computers.shop.ebay.co.uk/Desktop-PCs-Monitors-/171957/i.html?trkparms=65%253A2%257C66%253A1%257C39%253A1&rt=nc&_nkw=dvi%20monitor&_catref=1&_ dmpt=UK_Computing_ComputerComponents_Monitors&_sc=1&_sop=2&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14. l1581&pgn=2
    Would these work ok? as i dont need the huge 27" Apple display as its out of my price range..

    Would a VGA monitor work with the mini display > VGA adaptor? or is this not as good quality?
    It might, but VGA is an older analog standard and DVI is digital, so DVI should produce a better picture.
    Sorry for all the questions! Also is DVI-D still compatible (whatever that means?)
    According to Wikipedia, DVI-A is DVI to analog and DVI-D is full digital. So DVI-D is what you would be using anyway, if you were connecting to a DVI port on a monitor.

  • Sync Problems since used time machine to restore macbook pro

    Hi
    I had a macbook pro issues which to resolve Apple had me wipe clean my hard drive and reinstall snow leopard.
    I then used time machine to reload everything.
    Now I have a problem with BB DM mac.
    My ical and address book are restored but when I go to syn my BB 9700 I get the following in reference to my calendar
    The Previously selected items are no longer available
    I am at a loss. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the BB DM and still the same. Can't sync
    This is the response I got from Apple
    If I understand you correctly the message you indicate is coming from the Blackberry Desktop Manager, not from Addressbook or iCal?
    If that is the case you might find it advantageous to contact Blackberry as they would know how to troubleshoot their software.
    I would appreciate any suggestions on how to proceed so I can do a sync.
    Thanks ahead
    Margie

    Is the All Calendars radio button selected or Selected Calendars? I always leave the former selected as well as, under Advanced Settings, the Sync> All Events radio button. I'm hoping that the data that should be on your BB that, I assume, is not on your Mac will sync to your Mac.

  • Apple magic mouse keeps losing connection with Macbook pro

    I have a 2012 macbook pro, after upgrading to Mavericks(10.9.1, not have any other 3rd party software,just pure OS X), my magic mouse always losing bluetooth connection suddenly every one or two days. When losing connection, I found the bluetooth chipset type showing in macbook system information changed to unkown (FFFF). I have contacted with apple global support, and also have not gotten the solution. Just cleaning cache, and ect. but still didn't work.
    When I downgrading the OS X to 10.8.5 Mountain Lion, same macbook, same magic mouse, work very well. Never happened lose connection issue during one and a half month.  So, it should be a Mavericks bluetooth driver's issue, or something reletived.
    Any body have some good idea in solving this issue?
    Thanks in advance!

    I have the same problem with a 2007 MacBook Pro on Snow Leopard. As soon as I changed the mouse's batteries, it started losing connection every few seconds. The mouse came with Energizer batteries originally - they supposedly don't fit well, but the mouse worked fine. I exchanged them with Duracell, which gave problems. Now I have Varta batteries installed, they give problems too. The paper-trick doesn't work for me.
    Quite franky, I think it's rediculous that a fancy €69,- wireless mouse is so fussy about batteries. It's impossible to work with it. Is this just another way for Apple to get people to buy their batteries? I think a mouse this expensive should accept any and all batteries. Please, Apple: fix it. Seems like a really simple matter. Just put longer and stronger springs in the contacts for the negative poles.
    Thanks.

  • How do I use Bluetooth to connect my MacBook Pro to my iPad?

    I am trying to sync up my iPad to my MacBook Pro.  The status on the MacBook shows that the two are paired, but neither shows them as connected.  How do I achieve the connection in order to share files?

    On the advice of a friend I installed and ran a program on my MacBook called 'IPSecuritas'. This has stopped my wireless network from appearing and disappearing, but I still can't connect. Would really appreciate some help with this.
