Slow PAN connection with new MacBook Pro

I have an older MackBook Pro, one of the first, running 10.5.5 and and brand new MacBook Pro bought today.
When I use Bluetooth to hook via PAN to the older MBP I get 65-85k downloads, when I use the new MBP I get a stuttering 3-6k. I've used the same setup pair procedure with both MBPs and even gone as far as retraining the older MBP and eliminating it for the phone/shutting off the older machine with no luck.
Any ideas ?

I have pair and deleted the AT&T Tilt several times on both my old MBP and my new MBP. The Old MBP still performs a full speed when using PAN to connect to the internet. My new MBP is a DOG through PAN, 3-4k max download with long periods of no activity.
I've looked at both computers Preference files and they are basically the same. There is a difference between the Bluetooth software on the two machines even though they both run 10.5.5, I guess different bluetooth chips?
The older MBP uses a Cambridge chipset
The new MBP reports a Broadcom chipset.
I'm getting a bad feeling from this switch...

  • Experiencing Slow Internet Connections with new Macbook Pro

    I have had the laptop since December and I have had several problems regarding the internet. Just a little background, I have always had pretty fast internet and have never experienced any of these problems with any other computers. My family owns 2 other PC's(ew) and they don't have any problems with internet speed.
    Examples:
    -90% of the time my arrow will not change to the hand when something is clickable
    -downloading songs takes forever, even when they are only 10 megabytes
    -pages wont load even simple ones such as search engines
    The overall feel of my connection is slow and the sites i use are the basic ones which dont require too many flashy things.
    When I reset my modem the internet works better for a little bit but then goes back to its old ways.
    If you guys could give me any tips on the preferences i should have please help

    How are you connected to the internet?
    How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?

  • InFocus X2 Can't Connect with New MacBook Pro

    I'm trying to use my old (but reliable) InFocus X2 projector with a new MacBook Pro I recently purchased. I have the correct adapter (mini-port), but the inFocus X2 is just not able to find the mac. It just shows "searching...."
    The X2 projector shows up on my "Detect Displays" window on the Mac.
    Any "words of wisdom?" I was able to connect to this projector with my two older macbooks okay.

  • Bluetooth speakers won't connect with new Macbook Pro

    I just sold my Macbook Pro (mid 2012 release) and purchased the brand new lighter, faster Macbook Pro Retina display that was just released a couple of weeks ago (Mid 2014).
    There are a host of things this new Pro can't/won't do (which I didn't know upon purchasing it), but my question right now is: why won't my bluetooth speakers (which worked great with my other Macbook Pro) properly connect/work with my new one?  The bluetooth recognizes the speakers--it says they're there in the bluetooth set up--but they don't work, nor do they show up in my sound options (In my system preferences, only the internal speakers are listed as available output devices).  Why would they be visible but not able to be connected?
    Is there a fix?  Can I get my bluetooth speakers to work?  Or are these more things (along with my Apple Remote) that I have to scrap?
    Thanks!

  • Connect my new Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion to my HP PhotoSmart B210

    How can I connect my new MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion to my hp b210 printer?  My printer is about 1.5 years old and works wirelessly just fine with my PC.  I just switched to mac.  The printer is supposed to be airprint compatible according to HP.  HP has no software drivers for me to download.  Instead they say to use Mac Software Update to get the software.  However, there are no updates when I try that.  I have tried adding the printer manually using it's IP address and can print a test page, but when I try to print using an application on the Mac it cannot find the printer or says the printer is in use.  Help!!!

    Are you sure it has no usb port?

  • After the 2015-002 update to Mavericks, I keep losing wi-fi connection with my Macbook Pro.

    After the 2015-002 security update to Mavericks, I keep losing my wi-fi connection with my Macbook Pro. My Kindle Fire stays connected, so I'm assuming the problem is connected to the update. I have to be right next to the router, or sometimes the next room, to stay connected. Sometimes it stays connected for a few hours, no matter where I'm at in the house, then all of sudden it won't. Haven't found a rhyme or reason to it at all. Can anyone help me?

  • Facebook problems with new macbook pro.

    Facebook problems with new macbook pro. I can't publish photo albums to timeline. I can't share items onto timeline. Photos I'm tagged in don't appear on my timeline. Any help?

    Yes! Been living in a hellish nightmare since Sept-Oct. Unlike you, however, Apple has been of no help. They say the iPad is unhackable, plist and crash reports are none of my business and who understands them anyway, their route tracing apps are probably not reliable. The best they could do was wipe the iPad clean. Lost photos they said would be in the cloud....
    Almost immediately was back in somebody's VPN, their remote controller, video, audio, working. Got the purple buddy for the first time today. I have been invaded, my iPad no longer feels like my own, I have lost thanksgiving, Christmas, new year trying to track down the invaders, signed up for a Cisco course, set/reset passwords.
    I don't know who else to contact... Or what next to do.
    I've read similar frustration in other posts, scattered around the support communities. Yours is the only one that has worked toward a solution.
    How did you get anyone at apple to look at your logs and acknowledge there is a problem?
    Would be happy for a suggestion on how to proceed. Already been the apple store genius and tech on phone route.

  • Question on how networking works with new Macbook Pro

    Hi,
    I have a question about how networking works with my new Macbook Pro. This is my first laptop so am new to mobile computing. I am about to configure it to replace my desktop which uses a wired DSL connection. Once I have my Macbook Pro configured to run off the DSL modem, what happens when I take this computer to a location that has ethernet? Will just plugging in the ethernet cable be enough to get on line? Or is there further configuration work that needs to be done?
    I used a Windows laptop from work and all I had to do was plug it in to a hotel ethernet cable to get on line. However, this laptop was never configured to run on my DSL network so I am not certain if that makes things more complicated.
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi
    Your MacBook Pro should just work when plugged into an ethernet connection.
    Just check something, Open Network Preferences, you can select it from the Airport icon in the menu bar.
    In the left-hand pane click on Ethernet and just check that it is set to configure using DHCP in the right-hand pane, that's it.
    So when you plug in the ethernet cable it will ask the router for an IP address and off you go.
    I assume that any system you plug into will use DHCP rather than static IP addresses. If it is a static IP address, you will need to manually configure the ethernet settings by inputting the IP address and subnet mask info plus DNS servers.
    Usually it is done with DHCP and you don't have to do a thing and likewise your home DSL is DHCP?
    If not then you will have to change your settings, make a 'Hotel' setting which you can use when in hotels and keep your 'Home' set-up for when you are at home. In the pull down menu select Edit Locations to add new ones.

  • Time Capsule with new MacBook Pro

    I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro and synced it with my old computer. How do I get it to connect to my Time Capsule to pull old files? It wants to start a new library under the new computer, but I need files from my old computer on my new one.

    From your profile.
    Your old TC.. is more than old.. it is ancient.
    Time Capsule 802.11n (1st Gen),
    I mean like seriously from bygone era.. and very likely to not appreciate even more load than it already has. I hope you are planning for what happens when it finally bites the dust.. they tend to go rapidly .. like one day it works.. next it is over.. all over. 
    I am looking at the option of picking up a new USB 3.0 external drive (e.g. Toshiba Canvio Basics 2TB or Slim 500 GB) and plugging it into the (unused) USB port of the Time Capsule for my MBP Time Machine backup.  Will this work?
    Yes it will.. but slow.. very very slow.
    I imagine that MBP Time Machine setup will show 2 drives to back up to and I would simply select the second/USB drive as backup.
    Correct.
    If this setup works, I am also wondering if I should do the initial backup via USB 3.0 without the Time Capsule intermediary to speed up the process.  My Time Capsule doesn't sport a USB 3.0 port, but the new MBP and USB drive will.
    Sadly no, that is not possible.. Time Machine does not work the same way on network drives cf local drives.. you just have to live with the very slow backup.
    So of course this is also impossible.
    Also, can I switch back and forth between using Time Machine using 1) Time Capsule with USB drive connected for wireless backups at home and occassionally plugging the 2) same USB 3.0 drive directly into the MBP for on the road backups?
    But you can buy a second USB drive and take it with you.. you can setup two different locations for backups and TM will recognise when the USB drive is plugged in.
    You could also use CCC and create a bootable drive image.. which will get you backup and running in a few minutes cf TM which can takes several hours of absolute brain beating. CCC backups means you are more likely to recover files than simply using one backup utility. You can also use CCC to the USB drive at home.. now and then.
