Router works with PC, not with Mac?

My dad just bought a MacBook pro in the U.S and we are now enjoying our holidays in the Cook islands. Now, vacation is good and all, but one needs to keep up with the events in the world.
Now, there is internet connection in the house we are renting, and it works fine with the owners laptop, which im currently using. However, when I try to connect it to the Mac, it just wont work. And the ports of the router, stops blinking?
What is it that causes this problem? Is it because the router is not compatible with Mac, or is it some settings one has to change?
PS. Sorry if this seems obvious, however this is the first Mac i've ever tried to configure. Thanks in advance!

Im connecting with an Ethernet cable, and as said, it works fine with the PC.
But then when plugged into the Mac the router stops blinking (doesnt send any data whatsoever) and it says that a cable is not plugged in.
The router also sends wireless signals, however, the owner has forgotten the password (we've tried with the ones he suggested but they didnt work) however the wireless also works fine with the PC.
I've restarted the router, ive checked that the cable is properly inserted, ive switched the slots and nothing makes it wanting to co-operate with the Mac.
I guess this could be a router problem since its not a "famous" brand link D-link. Its some random, i would guess local, brand... supposedly thats the problem?
Thanks for any help

  • USB Mouse not work with Mac OS 10.6

    I have a USB mouse can work with Mac OS 10.4 but cannot with Mac OS 10.6. Noticed the different is the USB mouse motion reporting is 12-bit instead of 8-bit. It can definitely work on Windows with standard USB HID driver. I wonder if the OS 10.6 is having a different USB HID driver specification which is not posted in USB-IF.

    Ask the Vendor.

  • USB superdrive not working with Mac Pro

    Is there a trick to getting a USB Superdrive working with a Macpro?
    The drive in the Macpro no longer ejects and have tried connecting the USB drive to both the front and back ports - does it not work with Mac Pros?
    Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.

    I had a problem my superdrive. It would play dvd's and cd's that were already burnt but would not burn blank DVDs or CDs- in the recent past it had no problems burning. In addition, the Finder would not display the superdrive. When I put a blank disc in it would go to Disk Utilities and would not allow burning. With help from Apple I discovered the problem-- The settings in CDS & DVDs had been changed from When you insert a blank DVD/CD "Ask what to do to  to  "GO to Disk Utilities". If this sounds like your problem try changing the settings to this:
    Try going to; System Preferences/ CDs & DVDs
    Change these two settings to this:
    When you insert a blank CD: Ask what to do
    When you insert a blank DVD: Ask what to do
    NOTE: If they are already set to this you probably have a different problem. If they are set to Go to Disk Utilitiy this is probably a solution.
    And
    Then go to Finder Preferences
    Make sure that under "Show these items on desktop:" that the checkbox for CDs, DVDs, and iPods is checked.
    Try to burn the DVD again (reload Disc- perhaps restart) and try again.
    Don't know how these setting changed but they did. It worked for me.

  • HP Envy 5530 e-all-in-one Does Not Work With Mac

    Just bought an HP Envy 5530 all-in-one. It does not print through Safari and possibly other Mac applications. Does not frame the page properly even with "print page" and prints slower  than 1 page per minute, even with no background images. My old HP had no problem with Safari. Phone support tells me there is no driver or fix. So I will return the device. Seems crazy. I now see othr commenters saying it doesn't work with Mac. If HP's no longer works with major Mac applications, they will be returned in droves. Anyone know why or know of a fix? 

    I am having the same issue. Did you ever find a solution? 

  • Exchange Server not working with Mac mail

    Any tips on how exchange can work work with mac mail? I get connection errors.

    Hello Phil.
    Copied from Mail Help.
    An Exchange account allows you to connect to your Exchange server via IMAP, and if you enter text in the Outlook Web Access Server field, Mail filters non-email related content from the server. (You can get the text you need to enter from your mail account provider.) For Exchange to work with Mail, Exchange administrators need to configure the Exchange server for IMAP access. Some system administrators may refer to an Outlook Web Access Server as an Internet Information Services (IIS) server.
    Is the Exchange Server configured for IMAP access?

  • BB Desktop Manager no longer works with Mac Maverick - Need Help Urgently

    I have been a loyal Blackberry user since the Government of Canada officially began using these cell phones. I feel, however, abandoned by Blackberry (they obviously don't believe that it is easier to retain an existing customer than acquire a new one). I'm using a Blackberry Bold (9900) with a Macbook Pro. Everything was fine until I upgraded my Mac operating system to Maverick; my Blackberry Desktop Manager no longer works, so I cannot sync the content (contacts, calendar) of my phone with my Mac, but that's not the worst of it.
    I recently had a momentary lapse and exceeded the 10 password attempts to access my phone... this accidentally wiped my phone clean... and because Desktop Manager does not work with Mac, I do not have a way to recover my data. Rogers was of no help and had Blackberry updated its desktop software months ago, as it should have, this issue would have been moot. I do not know how or why, but I was able to recover most of my data, but I'm not sure just how up-to-date tha data is and am still going through it, but I'm having issues with some functionality.
    I'm in the US for several months and have suspended my Canadian services. Prior to the wipe, I was able to use wifi on my phone to send and receive emails with no problem.  After the wipe, I can't send emails or bbms.  I checked my blackberry internet service and all email accounts are good to go. BBMs are another issue.  I need help.  Suggestions please. 

    Apple has ceased synchronization with Mavericks. The issue lies with Apple, not with the desktop software. To mitigate the lack of sync capabilities in Mavericks you can sync your contacts and calender on your Mac with the usual suspects (Yahoo, Google). Create a backup (archive) for Contacts and Calender on your Mac first, then create one of those email accouonts that allow syncing. On your 9900 and with BlackBerry provisioning enabled create the new or existing email account. See which email accounts can sync with BB, I know Yahoo is working fine. For Yahoo, get the Yahoo Calender sync (a few bucks one-off payment required), Contacts sync works off the shelf within BB. If you reset the 9900 you should be able to restore all data with BB DTM. Please note that emails you received during the 9900 reset and the date of restore will not be available on the device. You will still not be able to sync contacts/calender over BB DTM. I hope that helps.

  • Trying to get a 3rd Party Router working with BT I...

    Hi,
    I'm trying to move away from the HHub5 on our FTTC BT Infinity connection (40Mb/s). Eventually I settled on a TP-Link WDR 3600 N600 - the flavour which is happy to talk to cable modems and take an OpenWRT install.
    So far I've hooked up a BT OpenReach "white box" modem using the HHub's RJ11 lead, going from the DSL filter into the OpenReach modem's DSL socket.  The modem's DSL LED lights up solid green - which I presume is good?  The TP-Link router is up & running fine with OpenWRT installed, I can connect to it over WiFi and I've hooked up its WAN connection to the OpenReach modem's LAN1 socket (LAN2 is blanked out).
    But whatever I put in the router's PPPoE settings I just can't get an internet connection to come up.  So far I've used '[email protected] (as it's set on the HHub) and a few other suggestions from the forums including 'anything you like' @btinternet.com and @btbroadband.com - nothing seems to get the connection going.
    Is there something I've missed or can anyone suggest a solution?
    Many thanks,
    Steve
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Sorry to answer my own question, but in case it helps anyone in the future:
    I had to put my username in the username AND password fields - same details in both.  I've not seen this written  anywhere online, everyone says to leave the password field blank as it's unused.
    So to recap - this is what got my TP-LINK WDR3600 (OpenWRT based) router working with Infinity: stick [email protected] in the PPPoE usernamd AND password fields.
