Programs suddenly quitting on my Macbook Pro and Airport not working right

I upgraded from an ibook to a Macbook pro about a month ago. Over the past month at least once a day a random program will "unexpectedly quit" on my computer. I have updated all the software on my computer and dont really run much peer to peer software. Also, after waking up from "sleep" my airport will suddenly stop working or even recognizing the my network. This is only solved by a restart. Can anyone help with this? I never had these problems with my sturdy old ibook. Between the high temp my computer reaches, the relatively short battery life, and the issue with all the software quitting I'm starting to feel like I was sold a lemon. Any positive feedback would be appreciated.
macbook pro 15' Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I have a 15 inch mbp and while i am using it the computer shuts down while i am working in word. This is upsetting as I am losing what I havent saved since the last save.
This problem cropped up today. Any thoughts or suggestions. I havent added anything by way of ram or other hardware.
Please I need your thoughts. This is my first mac.
Thanks for the assist

  • Macbook pro and airport extreme don't work

    A friend (and all those tv commercials) say everything just works with Macs. Well, not exactly. New Macbook Pro and Airport Extreme can't connect me to the internet. I still have PC connected via ethernet cable to my cable modem and router which is in the basement where the cable enters the house. I've tried the different options in Airport Extreme setup and nothing works. It doesn't help Apple assumes I know everything about DHP PPPOE NAT or whatever all those silly things are.
    Can anyone explain in +very simple+ terms how I get this expensive piece of aluminum connected to the internet?
    Thanks.

    Hello sofarapplesux. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I assume that you will continue to use the modem and router in the basement to get your Internet access ... correct? What is the make/model of this router?
    If that's the case, I will also assume that you have the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) connected by Ethernet to this router ... correct?
    So your overall network configuration should look something like the following:
    Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > \[Internet port] router \[LAN port] > (Ethernet cable) > \[WAN port] AEBSn ... close?

    With MacBook pro and airport extreme router, how can I print wirelessly to an old HP wireless photosmart all in one printer?  What is needed or what process?

    You need to make sure that the HP has an updated printer driver that works with 10.6 for that printer. You can check here:

    You haven't identified the version so I can't tell if offering you contact options for Adobe Support will be of use to you.  But they will likely be your only hope of getting resolution unless you just happen to be using the wrong number as the serial number.

  • Screen sharing in ichat 4 works on my MacBook Pro and does'nt work on imac

    I am outside the US and Canada and I have a MacBook Pro and 3 imacs, 2 at my office and 1 at home. I used to use screen sharing among all of them but suddenly the imac at home does not allow sharing its screen, it only can share screens on other units, the (share my screen with...) command is faded but all other ichat features like video, speech and text are fine.
    I reinstalled ichat again thinking that it could be corrupted but it is still the same.
    I don't have a network or a firewall problem because when I use the same wireless network at home and login with my MacBook, the MacBook works perfectly.
    I matched the settings of all units but still no progress.
    I need help to restore that feature again.

    If this happensd in the future go to USers/(your account)/Library/Preferences.
    Delete com.apple.ichat.plist and restart iChat
    If that does not work delete com.apple.ichatAgent.plists and restart iChat
    It will be one or the other most likely the second.
    Deleting them one at a time with a restart will pin point which one it is.

  • Problem with Macbook pro and Airport Express!!!

    I'm having the same problem I have seen others with right now with my macbook pro and my airport express. I have set up and reconfigured the A.Express 3 times now. I have the green light, i have the Ethernet configured, I have full bars of reception but I cannot access the signal. meaning I can not go online even though everything is set up correctly and says that it's good to go. Anybody have any advice?
    Is it an issue with having to re access the network I created with the Airport utility?
    It worked the first time I configured the A. Express with my macbook pro no problem. Then suddenly my computer was just not getting internet. Even though all the settings were ok and I was even getting full bars reception from the device on my comp. So I reset the A.Express and have been having the problem mentioned above since that point. Please help me if you have any advice. Thanks so much in advance.

    I had the same problem, and to test if I was connected launched Safari and Safari after a few seconds of not connecting, it shows you a dialog box, with options to follow up, I follow the dialog box and like magic I am connected to the Internet.

  • MacBook Pro and Airport Snow Modem

    Hi there,
    I just bought a MacBook Pro, and was using it last night. When I tried to connect to the internet via my Airport Base Station (snow) using its modem (which I always did with my old Titanium PowerBook), I was disappointed to discover that I can't use the Airport menu to get the base station to connect to the internet. Nor can I use the Airport Admin Utility to access the base station. The computer will connect to the base station, but doesn't seem to recognize it beyond that.
    I'd really like to know if there's a way I can get my MacBook Pro to recognize the base station properly and let me access the internet. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any solutions?
    Thanks!
    Christopher

    The new Airport extreme with 802ac wifi WITH the new macbook Air with 802ac, if you have one, runs wifi at blazing speeds.
    Have both the new Air and new Airport extreme, and since the limits were removed a couple weeks ago with 10.8.5 update,..... the new macbook Airs over wifi ac with the A.E. are just lightning fast, astonishingly fast.

  • I have a MacBook Pro, and will not let me open a file because it says I do not have permission.  How do I fix this?

    I have a MacBook Pro and it will not let me open a file that I have used several times in the past because it says that I do not have permission to use it.  How do I fix this?

    Oops, my bad.  The repair disk permissions in Disk Utility doesn't actually fix the User home folders.  To do that boot into the recovery partition and when the recovery desktop appears select Utilities -> Terminal. Enter “resetpassword” and press return - don't worry you're not actually going to reset your password!
    Ensure that your username is selected from the “Select user account” menu, then under “Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs” click the “Reset” button.
    Click on the Apple menu and restart your computer.

  • Having trouble making the macbook pro and airport express hok up

    I have a macbook pro and the airport express hooked to a stereo. I need to connect the two together. I also have a lynksis wireless router that can not be hard wired to the airport express. Will this work because I am unable to make it work....
    Do I need the express unit instead of the lynksis

    Just checked that as well, it's set as a wireless N network that is B/G compatible... So it's got to be something else. Thanks for the suggestion though!
