Tethering working on MacPro but NOT Macbook Pro

Having a problem with tethering when using it with my laptop. Macbook Pro (6.1), Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and Aperture 3.1.1.
My MacPro is working without any problem. (Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and Aperture 3.1.1)
I have tried both my cameras Canon 5Dmk2 and Canon 20D. Both cameras are recognized in both Macbook Pro and MacPro but only on the MacPro the images will show up. In my Macbook Pro I can press capture and both cameras react but then nothing happens.
Strange it works on one computer but not the other one.
Any suggestions?

You're right it is strange. As it works on one system and not the other with the exact same camera and cable and the fact that you hear the shutter go off even on the system where the images don't show up would seem to indicate some difference in the configuration of Aperture on the MBP.
Do the images ever show up? If you go to the Photos icon and search you're complete library do they appear anywhere? There isn't a filter set on the project your importing into by any chance?
I would make a new empty library and try using that to see if it makes any difference. You could also move the com.apple.Aperture.plist file from your Library/Preferences folder to the desktop, restart Aperture and see if that makes any difference.

WiFi in Asia works on iPhone but not Macbook Pro

I am currently traveling around Asia and I have my Macbook Pro and iPhone with me. I have had no problems connecting to WiFi networks with my iPhone (currently typing this message with it on my hotel's WiFi). However, my Macbook Pro has had endless issues. Sometime it works, but often it doesn't. The most common issue is that it gets a self assigned IP address and can't connect to the internet. It can usually find and connect to the WiFi network, but from there things get dodgy. As I said, it sometimes works fine. I would say it works on 1 out of every 3 networks that I try.
So far I have tried the following:
Renewing DHCP Lease (without client ID and with made up client ID)
Disabling firewall.
Turning off wifi and them back on.
Restarting computer.
Deleting WiFi service and recreating.
Creating new "location".
Repairing permissions.
Using different login account.
Manually entering TCP/IP settings copied from iPhone.
"Forgetting network" and rejoining.
None of the above has helped, except that one time renewing DHCP lease with a made up client ID did the trick.
I have the summer 2012 MacBook Pro 13" with OS 10.7.5 installed.
Any help would be very appreciated. :)

It doesn't seem like anybody is going to respond to this thread, but I guess I will keep updating it just in case (and perhaps if I ever find a solution it will be helpful to others).
Since my last post I have been to about 12 hotels in both Thailand and Cambodia. This issue has continued with some variations:
* At 3 of the hotels the wifi on my MacBook Pro actually worked! It seemed to work ok, with minimal speed issues.
* At 6 of the hotels the wifi did not work on my MacBook Pro, but worked fine on my iPhone.
* At 3 of the hotels the wifi worked on my MacBook Pro but was PAINFULLY slow (to point where I couldn't upload photos, could barely check facebook, etc). In fact, it was so slow that I basically gave up using the internet with my MacBook Pro and used my iPhone instead (which had normal speeds).
I have continued to search the internet for solutions and nothing has helped yet. It seems like this is a common issue with newer MacBook Pros, especially with OS Lion.
I have also concluded that this isn't necessarily an Asia specific issue. It seems like an issue with my MacBook Pro and using various WiFi routers with various setups. Some work, but most do not. Unfortunately I do not have access to any of the routers that I am using, so changing router setup is not an option.

Netflix works on iphone but not MacBook Pro?

I'm a new Apple Macbook pro guy. Switched from Window PCs after getting my iphone. I downloaded the Netflix for iphone - works great, but Netflix on my MAC wants Silverlight. Is that secure? I heard you also have to enable JavaScripts - Java is secure, but JavaScripts are not?
Old guy needs some help :-)

Wifi works on iPhone but not MacBook with more bars!

so, sitting in the same spot my MacBook Pro has 4/4 bars but the wifi only works for five seconds at a time (not literally but it feels like it), then I have to disconnect and reconnect. My iPhone has 2/3-3/3 bars and the wifi works great! why is this? Shouldn't the MacBook have better reception as its bigger/has more power? Why does it show more bars than the iPhone but hAbe a worse connection?

Start up in Recovery mode. In the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so make a note of those before you begin, if they're needed for the test.
Test. After testing, restart as usual and post the results.

SSD works on Windows PCs not Macbook Pro

Hi,
I have a Corsair Force 3 240GB (Sata 3) SSD (with the latest firmware), but it doesn't seem to work on my Macbook Pro (late 2008).
I have replaced the original HDD with the SSD, and tried to run the OS X Leopard installation disk (not the newest one but it works..).
No disk comes up on the screen where I can choose where to install it. Neither does it in the Disk Utility.
The strange thing is that in about 1 out of 15 restarts, the disk pops up. Then it works just like a normal disk (I can install OS X, refomat in Disk Uti. etc.). When I then restart the Mac, the disk is gone.
I have tried the disk on two different PCs and it works on both. I've also installed Windows on it, and that worked perfecly.
I know that my Macbook Pro (late 2008) doesn't support Sata 3, but Sata 3 should be compatible with Sata 2, shouldn't it? Anything else that could solve this problem?
Thanks a lot

PDFs and Word Files open on iMac but not Macbook Pro

I own an iMac and a MacBook Pro. Recently, I've been having an issue with some PDFs and Word files that have been emailed to me from different contacts. All open—and can be seen using Quick Look—on the iMac. However, on the MacBook Pro it's a different story. When I try Quick Look all I see are the icons. When I try to open the PDFs in Preview (default app for me) I get an error message saying the file could not be opened and might be damaged. When I try to open the Word doc in Word, Pages or Bean I see all of the extraneous header information etc and the text is all mixed up in that formatting junk. I have repaired permissions, cleared out my user cache, restarted—pretty much everything I can think of. But no luck. Thought?

Brilliant suggestion! I checked all the display settings on my iMac 27" and confirmed they were the same settings as my MacBook -- until I checked the Window 7 screen resolution. Because of its size, I had expanded the screen across most of the monitor. When I changed the resolution to one suggested or configured by Windows, Approach worked fine. I've now tested it on quite a few of the settings, and as long as I let Windows determine the best resolution (on my iMac 27" it seems to be 2043 x 1276), Approach works like it should. Thank you!

Disc playing fine on DVD, but not MacBook Pro

Hello - I have authored and burned discs, and they all play fine on my DVD player on my TV set, but are not playing on my MacBook Pro. I put the disc in after Disk Utility shows it's been burned successfully, and after a few 'tries', it pops out, never even mounting on the computer. Might there be a 'fix' for this? Thanks so much...

I would start to troubleshoot by trying a commercial (rented or purchased) DVD and make sure it's not the drive itself. It would be strange for a DVD to work in a set top box but not your computer, it's usually the other way around.
And did you really mean to post this in the Final Cut forum?

ITunes Match on Mac but not Macbook Pro?

Hi,
I have paid and installed 'itunes match' on my main Mac which has my library, it has synced to my ipad, iphone 4, Apple TV and ipod touch but it isnt working to my macbook pro?! It says only one library can be used but I want my music (not all the other stuff) from my main Mac linked to my laptop, is this possible so that I dont have two librarys?
Also, is my entire music backed up somehow just in case something happens to my mac?
Thanks in advance...

Problem running Windows software on iMac but not MacBook Pro

I just got an iMac 27" to replace my old iMac 24". I also have a MacBook Pro.
I am using the same version of Parallels 7 and Windows 7 on both my iMac 27 and my MacBook to run Lotus Approach 9.8 (part of a SmartSuite package).
Lotus Approach works fine on my MacBook (as it did on my old iMac 24), but when I open database files on my iMac 27, the database screen starts flashing (rewriting the screen in some endless loop) and the program becomes inoperable.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled Parallels 7, Windows 7 and the Lotus software on my iMac 27, but that did not resolve the problem.
I need to use the Lotus Approach software on my iMac 27 -- so I can convert the Approach databases to FileMaker.
Any ideas about what the problem might be on the iMac 27 or what I can to to fix this problem? Is this a hardware problem, a driver problem, or something else?

Brilliant suggestion! I checked all the display settings on my iMac 27" and confirmed they were the same settings as my MacBook -- until I checked the Window 7 screen resolution. Because of its size, I had expanded the screen across most of the monitor. When I changed the resolution to one suggested or configured by Windows, Approach worked fine.

FaceTime works on iPhone but not macbook..? HEEELP.

Facetime makes/recieves calls as per usual with iphone, but Macbook pro is unsuccessful- says 'connecting' and rings without ever getting through/does not recieve incoming facetime from other devices.

Hello emilia_,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with FaceTime. It sounds like you have isolated the issue to your MacBook Pro.
You may be experiencing this issue due to an expired certificate that can be updated by running the software updates on your MacBook Pro. I recommend reviewing the following article:
Unable to make or receive FaceTime calls after April 16, 2014
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5419
If your software is up to date, I recommend continuing to troubleshoot with the steps in the following article:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

IPod shipped, but not Macbook Pro?

I ordered 15" Macbook Pro with an anti-glare screen and a 16gb iPod nano with the school discount plus rebate on September 2nd. I have received my iPod, but not MBP hasn't shipped and I keep getting e-mails from Apple saying that my payment hasn't been received. I'm so confused! Is that why my MBP hasn't shipped?? But why would they ship my iPod if they haven't received my payment?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you checked with your bank or credit card company to see if there is a problem? When I ordered my MBP, I had to authorize a higher POS limit to pay for it with my check card. You may need to do something like that. If the iPod was free with the purchase of the Mac, they may have sent that out just on the basis of the order alone since it would not specifically need to be paid for.
Contact your bank or credit card company and see what the problem is.
Good luck!

Can connect iPhone to friend's wifi, but not MacBook Pro. Says password is invalid.t

My friend gave me her wifi password so I can connect at her house. I onnected my iPhone with no problems. But when I try to connect my MacBook Pro I keep getting a message that the password is invalid. It's the exact same password I used to connect my phone! recently she had relatives visit and the same thing happened for them. What's up?

You would do better to ask in the Mac Forum - this is the iPad forum.

Is your iMac OS current? Your MBP isn't: (10.6.2)
Use Software Update to update your OS to last version of Snow Leopard - OS 10.6.7. Install all the other updates that goes along w/it.
