Unable to connect to internet Macbook Pro

This problem first appeared more than a year ago when an update was pushed over. I had to reset the wireless router in order to restore connection and anytime the isp would change I could not connect again. So usually I could connect throughout one day (unless I left the computer sitting on for any length of time in which case I would lose connection and have to reset again).
In playing around with my keychain, I found if I synched my keychain password to my login password to my account password the problem disappeared (at leasst for now). Just thought I would mention as I read others that had this problem and were waiting for Mac engineers to fix it.

That's Mac's response? To clarify that updates have to be accepted by the user? What about putting out a fix to the problem the update caused instead of coming up with all kinds of excuses like it was really Intel's fault or like. Mac has NEVER fixed this problem. I have tried numerous fixes on blogs by non Mac employees since Mac has done NOTHING. I have words for hyour answer Sig, but a lady doesn't use them.
Oh by the way, I THOUGHT this fixed the problem but it has only fixed it in part. I still have to shut down the wireless and reset it to get MacBook Pro to recognize it if I turn off the computer and the address has changed as it is not recognizing the address change automatically.
Again, this was not a problem until Mac sent an update and I was stupid enought to accept the update.

Unable to connect Timecapsule to Macbook Pro

I have a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.8.2 and a 500TB Time capule, purchased in 2010. I have successfully connected it one, then I moved and have been unable to do it since.
The ornage light on the Time Capsule flashes orange constantly. When I open Airport Utility it does not recognise the Time Capsule. I have tried connecting t directly to my Mac with an ethernet cable but I still cant access it.
Can anyone offer suggestions as to what I do next or what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks

You did the right thing... plug the TC directly to a computer by ethernet.. make sure nothing else is connected to the TC.. and no wireless is turned on in the computer.. ie they only have each other.. !!
Press and hold the reset until the front led flashes rapidly.. release the reset and wait for the TC to reboot.
If Airport utility cannot find the TC, check the ethernet is working, you do have an IP, 10.0.1.x range.. and the connectivity led is on, on the TC.

Until the MacBook Air was released and supported in 10.5, the Mac did not consider USB to be a valid Networking Protocol. So set the Mac with USB solutions aside.
To connect computer-to-computer, you typically need to be using an Ethernet crossover cable. Assigning the same address to two Ethernet devices is never the solution -- it gives a Network Conflict, just as you said.
If your Windows box has some mechanism for Sharing its WiFi connection over Ethernet, you would have to follow its rules. Whether that means Manually assigning an Ethernet Address in the same range or the PC will provide the Address, I do not know.
Best success may be running an Ethernet cable to your Wired/Wireless Base Station, or using a "gaming adapter" (Ethernet-to-Wireless no drivers required) connected to the Mac's Ethernet port to give it WiFi access. What is your Base Station {Cable, DSL, FIOS, Other} ? Ethernet cables can be up to 100 meters (an American Football Field). Often the Base Station can be moved closer for more convenience.

Internet connection lost on Macbook Pro when PCs are connected.

Recently I running into very annoying problem, here it is:
I am using comcast cable internet, connected to Airport Extreme (802n) wan port via ethernet, I got 3 computers are using the same wireless network: one Macbook Pro and two PCs. If both PCs are off, I have no connection problems on Macbook Pro, but if either one of the PCs are on, the browsers on my Macbook Pro can't connect to internet, however, I can still receive emails on Macbook Pro. By the way, airport extreme are set to DHCP, all computers share one IP address. Airport extreme with most recent firmware 7.3.2 installed.
Any help are welcome and thank you in advance.

ddg57, Welcome to the discussion area!
By the way, airport extreme are set to DHCP, all computers share one IP address.
Each computer should have their own separate IP addresses. So I'm hoping that your statement above means:
(1) The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) uses DHCP to get an IP address from the ISP.
(2) The AEBS is configured to share a single IP address (not bridging).
(3) The computers are configured to get an IP address via DHCP (via wireless).

CS5.5 Subscription: Unable to connect to internet.

So, for two days, I've been unable to use either of the two Creative Suite 5.5 Master Collection licenses I'm currently subscribing to and paying a pretty penny for. Yesterday, Adobe customer support informed me that something must be "wrong with my machine", so, I dutifully did all of the testing, cleaning up, repairing and troubleshooting I could think of on that machine. CS5.5 Subscription on that one still doesn't work. Today, I attempted to use the other license I'm paying for on a different machine, with the exact same results.
When attempting to open any of the products, I get this message:
When I click Try Again, I get this one, which stays on this screen and never changes:
As you can imagine, I'm fairly certain I'm connected to the internet, since I'm typing this in the forum right now. I've attempted a wired connection, wireless connection and my MiFi connection, restarted, stood on one foot while patting my head, and attempted to bribe my software, with the same results each time.
Specs:
MacBook Pro 15" / Snow Leopard
Mac Mini / Lion
To reiterate, here are the steps I've attempted:
Repair permissions
Repair disk
Multiple restarts
Move from Wired to Wireless connection
Move from Wireless to MiFi connection
This isn't an issue with Lion, since it's occuring on both machines with different serial numbers. This is a problem with Adobe's subscription licensing server, or a problem with the way the software connects to it. Any assistance is appreciated, and the quicker I get it, the happier I'll be, since this has already caused me to fall behind on a deadline. At this point, I'm considering canceling the monthly subscription and reinstalling my version of CS4, which, while missing some of the features I upgraded to CS5.5 for, at least works.
Side note for Adobe personnel: It's not entirely clear in your FAQs for the subscription editions that you have to be connected to the internet every single time you open the software.

I'm getting that exact same message. Started today and it's driving me crazy. I can't find any information on error code 194:100. I talked to customer support through chat and they hadn't any clue as to what error 194:100 could be. They said it was technical and I should contact tecnical support. Why anyone would want to talk to a support agent that cannot fix problems and just generally tells you to call the real customer support, I have no idea.
This is the second time I've had problems with my software activation. It was slightly different but similar in several ways. I figured I'd metion some specifics to see if it matches more or less anyone else's problems.
Both times I've noticed I've had trouble with my adobe account id. Specifically I can log in just fine but I can't access the acount info section. I get a page not found error.
This time around I noticed many other weird things.
Adobe updater disappeared from my mac.
Encoder refused to encode certain premeire sequences.
Premiere froze on export of those same sequences.
And I first got the Unable to Connect to internet error this morning. Followed shortly The "Activation Failure error code #194:100" one. I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times and Premiere seems to run fine at least once. But if I try to open any other adobe application or if I load another project I get error 194:100.
The first time I had Activation Problems I ended up having to return the software, wait for the refund, delete my adobe id account, create a new one and buy it again with the new account.
I hope this is not a repeat of last time cause I'm seriously not rebuying defective software a third time.
I don't know if this helps but your problem seemed similar to mine.

Using a remote desktop connection with the Macbook pro.

I use the remote desktop connection on the Macbook pro and am unable to exchange info between the mac and the remote connetion windows. For example, if I am writing an email from the remote connection and want to attach a document, photo etc. that I created on the Mac, it just doesn't work. It seems like the Mac and the desktop connection are completely seperated eventhough they are both on the screen in front of me. the systems I use for work are not Apple compatible and will not work on anything other than windows explorer and in my case the remote desk top connection. Any ideas!

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Try running in 'ClamShell' mode (MacBook Pro lid closed and using an external keyboard and mouse) with the Gateway connected and then run System Preferences/Displays, it should show then ...
My 1920x1080 monitor shows the following:

My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?

My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?

Ah, sure it actually won't. I have the same problem, and I contacted Apple Support. They told me that there is an incompatability between the iphone 5 and MacBook Pro Retina such that Bluetooth pairing is not possible.
The Support Agent actually had the audacity to tell me this was part of the design of the OS on the MacBook Pro, like Windows people saying, "That's not a bug. It's a feature!!"
Personally, I think this is insane. While I was trying to tether the iphone to the MacBook Pro retina for an internet connection, there are other reasons related to file transfers for which one would want to pair the iphone 5 with the MacBook Pro retina.
I am hoping this "feature" is fixed in iOS 7, and/or in some dot release of Mac OS 10.8.
By the way, the personal hotspot feature on my Verizon iphone 5 works great either via a wifi or USB connection. There are occaisions, however, when one would 1) not have a USB cable, and/or 2) have another wifi relationship between the phone and a network that one would not want to have to "forget" in order for it not to connect to that wifi network. The Macbook will not find the iphone as a wifi hotspot if the iphone is connected to wifi in the first place. At least mine won't.

Unable to connect to internet or print wirelessly on Boot Camp with Windows 7

I recently installed Boot Camp and Windows 7 on my Mac Book Pro with no problems.
A month later, I am unable to connect to internet or print wirelessly.
It states that I am connected to my router.
When I trouble shoot, it cannot find the problem.
My wireless connection and cable connection are fine on the MAC side.
Please help.

looks a like a Windows 7 problem. I assume that you can click on the current connection info on the task bar and see a connection to your wireless router? Have you updated your copy of Windows since it was working? I am wondering if it's an update that's applied in Windows which has done something.

Connecting kurzweil sp88 to GB I want to connect my Kurzweil sp88 to GB. The Kurzweil has a baffling array of buttons and possible MIDI channels. It also has the old style MIDI plug ins. I've got the MIDI out connected to my MacBook Pro via USB adapter.

I have my Kurzweil connected to my MacBook Pro via an adapter (old style MIDI from Kurzweil to USB adapter connecting to Mac). The Kurzweil has a baffling array of buttons and possible MIDI channels. Can anyone please tell me which of the channels I should use? Also, should I leave the MIDI In cable out of the Kurzweil? Thanks for as detailed an answer as possible. If you like you can respond directly to me at [email protected]

First of all I do not own this keyboard. But a quick look at the manual (found on the internet) says that when first powered up the SP88 is in Internal Sounds mode. Meaning you hear the sounds selected when playing the keyboard. It also stated that the default Midi Transmit Channel is Midi Channel #1.
Looks like you would need to go to the SP88 Keyboard's MIDI SETUP and simply select LOCAL OFF. Now the keyboard should be ready to transmit Midi Out only and no internal sounds should be heard.
Next you may or may not need to do this but you might need to go into the Utilities Folder found in your Applications Folder on your Mac and double click AUDIO MIDI SETUP the keyboard Icon. Figure #1 below.
Next you need to make a physical connection from the Midi Out of the SP88 to the Midi In on your Midi Interface. Figure #3 below. You may need to Click on Add Device first. Figure #2 below.
In the examples shown below I have a Yamaha Electronic Drum Kit that is Midi Out only... not USB out. I had to plug a Midi cable from the Midi Out Port on the back of my Drum Module to the Midi In Port on the back of my Motu 828 Audio Inferface which is connected to my Mac. Next I created the Audio Interface and Drum Module "Devices" as mentioned above.
I then double clicked on the Drum Module and made my Midi Out Selections. Figure #4 Below. And once it was setup and the icons closed I used my mouse to draw a virtual cable connection from the Drum Module Out to the Audio Interface In. Figure #3 below. This is how I got my Midi Devices to talk to one another.
Once you have made your setup as I have outlined create a MIDI Instrument Track in Garageband, select an instrument for example a Piano then Record Enable that track in Garageband and see if you now hear what you are playing. In this example the SP88 is a Midi Controller only and you will only hear sounds selected in Garageband which is what you want.
Keep in midi your setup may be different than mine. You can keep your SP88 Keyboard on the default Midi Channel #1. That would be a good place to start. Garageband receives Midi on all channels.

How do I share a 3G USB modem connected to my Macbook Pro with my Airport Express?

Hi. I have a 3g USB modem connected to my macbook pro, and I want to try share the signal with my Airport Express (latest model).
Now before everybody screams that it can't be done, I was searching the forums and found a discussion in which someone describes how to do it from 2008, unfortunately it is archived and I couldn't ask the author directly, and the description doesn't go into much detail.
In the thread, the author describes turning internet sharing on to share the USB modem, creating a network on the macbook, then renaming the Airport Express network name the same as the macbook, and setting the AX to Join a Network.
Problem being there is no description of whether the macbook connected to the AX via ethernet or wifi, what settings were changed on the AX eg bridge mode.
Is this possible in theory, and has anybody had any success sharing a 3g USB modem via a macbook pro to an AX? I know there are other options like getting 3g ethernet modems, unfortunately not an option in this case - new house, waiting for DSL to be installed, 2-3 month wait.
Thanks

Well, you cannot use the 3G USB modem plugged directly into the Express. However, you can configure your MacBook Pro to do 'Internet sharing' (SysPrefs>Sharing) over the Ethernet port, and then connect your Express into the Ethernet port. Alternatively, you could always get your MacBook to 'create a wireless network'.
new house, waiting for DSL to be installed, 2-3 month wait.
You could always look for open WiFi networks to *cough*borrow*cough* .

Fix for wireless connection issues on MacBook Pro - reinstall OS!

I hope this helps some of you out there.
I was having all the usual problems with connectivity with the MacBook Pro I bought in January 09. It dropped the signal constantly and if I closed the top, it would make me search for my network again then it would give me the "connection timeout message" over and over again. I couldn't get anything done either at home or anywhere else. I finally took it in to the genius bar but they couldn't replicate the problem so I was sent home. The guy did, however, suggest reinstalling the OS (which I thought was a dumb idea since it had to be the airport card right?). Since it was a week away from the release of Snow Leopard I waited.
Once I installed Snow Leopard all was fixed. It has now been almost 2 weeks and I haven't lost a signal once - the difference is amazing. I feel liberated!!
Try a reinstall or upgrade to 10.6. and good luck. Post here to let us know if it works for you. Don't forget to backup your date first!

Nope I'm not trying to tether. I would like to be able to use a wifi connection on my mac and other devices. I've gotten by so far just hooking up my mac to the ethernet port, but that requires me to be in my room. I know its possible since there a bunch of networks nearby (locked of course), but I just can't figure out how to get mine working.
I'm living in an apartment across the street from campus that is sort of school-owned...well its private but the internet service is provided by the campus since only students live here. So we have to register anything that we want to use on the school's network. On campus I can use wifi on my mac or iphone. Its troubling how I can use the ethernet cable just fine, but when I connect it to my router (which I registered through the school as well)...nothing. Technically this should be working easily - but maybe you're right on the network security accessability...or maybe my router is old...or my mac doesn't like my router? I've had this problem before during my undergrad years except I was dealing with a cable provider and not the school.
Maybe I should just make friends with my neighbors and find out how they set up theirs haha.

Is possible for me to use the wireless connection from my Macbook Pro

Hi All, I just got my iPad 16GB WIFI and I would like to know if it is possible for me to use the wireless connection from my Macbook Pro. Basically I will be travelling quite a bit and my Macbook Pro has a Wireless 3G dongle. Is it possble to use this via the 'internet share' option so that the iPad can connect to the 3G wireless via the Macbook Pro?

Yes. Just use internet sharing on your MacBook Pro.

How can I connect an old macbook pro...

How can I connect an old macbook pro with that does NOT have a Thunderbolt connection to a new 27 inch iMac? I only need to do this for one specific purpose, to be able to see the work I'm doing on the laptop in InDesign on the iMac's larger screen (at a larger size as it were, so I can see a double page spread (or even a whole page would be an improvement) in one go)? I gather it might be possible to get an adaptor but note that Apple don't seem to sell one. I know I could do this with the cinema screen but would rather do it with a new imac as that will have more use to me overall. It's a work laptop which I don't own so I don't own the Indesign to just be able to use that on an iMac. I have tried to connect monitors to the laptop in the past, but with no success at all. I hope someone can help . Thank you.

Im pretty sure you are talking about the M8536 which has an ADC Adapter.
you will have to daisy chain a thunderbolt to DVI adapter with an DVI to ADC Adapter.
the first adapter:

The second adapter is old so you may find used ones on ebay like this:

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?
