Too many suggestions on resetting wifi password for my MacBook Pro!  How is it really done?

I'm trying to reset my wifi passwork on my MacBook Pro.  There are way too many suggestions on the internet.  I want to get the "real" way to do it so I don't make a mistake.  Thanks

Sorry. Read that as system password the first time. The wifi password needs to be reset in your router, then on your devices. How to do it depends on which router you have.
In the Airport Extreme, use Airport Utility to get into the router. Double click the base station then choose edit. Select the wireless tab. Enter the new password there.

  • Video Play slowly with WIFI Connect for TC & Macbook Pro

    Why the movie play slowly when I use the wifi connection for TC & Macbook Pro?

    If you hold down an "option" key while you pull down the Wi-Fi menu-bar item on that MacBook Pro, what value do you see for "RSSI"?  If it's in the range of -60s to -90s, then your Wi-Fi connection may be too weak.

    i am looking for wifi adapter for my MacBook Pro(Mavericks 10.9.2). Somebody help me to find compatible Wifi adapter for my MacBook.
    Thank you!!

    Thanks Bob! i already opened this search page but i didn't found anything compatible to mavericks!!!!
    Then you are not looking very well. The first one in the list has compatible wifi adapters. Mavericks compatable wifi adapters are included in most of the results from my link.
    If there are not enough results included in the list try modifying my search term. Try this instead:
    https://www.google.com/search?q=usb+wifi+adapter+for+mavericks
    There are dozens/hundreds listed.

    Software updates don't upgrade your current operating system to a new one, you have to purchase a newer operting system if you want one.
    If you want iCloud, first you have to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.6 (10.6.8 preferred), then you can download Lion from the app store.
    Snow Leopard requirements:  $29 USD from Apple : http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
    Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of memory
    5GB of available disk space
    DVD drive for installation
    Lion general requirements: $29 USD app store.
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space

    im pretty sure i have a very old software version for my macbook pro, how do i buy or download os x mountain lion or snow leopard?sof

    Make sure you read the system requirements. Also install Rosetta if you want Power PC applications to run.
    Snow Leopard Purchase    
    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    8 GB or more of available space
    If your computer isn’t compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion.      
    Computer Compatibility - Lion                       Lion
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.      
    Application Compatibility
    Applications Compatibility (2)
    Do a backup before installing.

    If you are referring to the original system reinstall discs that shipped with every Mac before Lion came out you'll need to contact Apple with the serial # of your Mac and order a replacement set of them.
    Or look on one of the Auction websites or places like iFixit.com for a replacement set.
    If your Mac came new with any of the Download Only versions of OS X, Lion, Mt Lion or Mavericks you don't need any discs to reinstall OS X. You use the Online Internet Recovery system or the built in Recovery HD partition inb the internal hard drive.
    For the built in Recovery HD hold down the Command + r keys at startup. For the Online system hold down the Command + Option/Alt + r keys and keep them held down until you see a globe on the screen.
