Unstable wireless on MacBook Pro

My MacBook Pro works just fine (using wirless internet) whenever I'm at university or at work. But when I come back home it doesn't work. What happens is that I will be able to "connect" to the internet, I will have all 4 bars (meaning there's a goood connection) but when trying to be online 70% of the times it will not load pages up.
This only happens at my house, on other places it almost always works fine.
Any help?
(btw my router is a RCA by thomson model dwg855tlg)

Are there other devices at your house that get better internet function? If not, the problem could lie in your internet connection to the house or at the router.

    Hi,
    Simply put(copy) the content of the UVIsoundbaks folder to where you want it. Then delete the original content. Make aliases of the content at its' new location, and move (copy) all those aliases back into the originating folders. Then delete the original aliases. That should do it.
    I'm confused about this.
    First, I put the content where I want. Got it.
    Then delete it?
    I don't have the room to put it where the application tells me to put it (not enough room on the HD), so I need to put the sample content on a external hard drive.
    Please advise.
    Thanks

  • How can i stream media wirelessly from macbook pro ? video...

    how can i stream media wirelessly from macbook pro mountain lion to dynex bluray player or insignia mhl tv? i also have a time capsule...

    most reliable method found is get an AppleTV hooked to TV, and get program called BEAMER (free trial or $15 purchase application).     Lots of programs CAN stream to TV via wifi, but many of them get audio syncing wrong/bad.   Best addition upgrade to any Apple PC or laptop isnt internal, but the AppleTV     BEAMER app is the best Apple/Mac app out there to me, ...  Ive got 7 Terabytes of Videos, ...the Beamer app takes in any video format, its just incredible.

    I cannot print wirelessly from Macbook Pro: this is the error message I receive /Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpII.app/Contents/MacOS /rastertoescpII failed. Can anyone help. I have been able to print on this printer for months, then yesturday out of the blue I get this error.

    "/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpII.app/Contents/MacOS /rastertoescpII failed"
    I also saw this same error message above the Print Queue, ever since allowing the Epson Printer Software Update (August 2013) to install. After this update installed, I was able to print a basic Test Page from the Print Queue, but when printing from any application I only got "Looking for printer..." displayed above the Print Queue, which would stall and never print.
    2008 MacBook, 10.7.5. It used to print to my Epson WorkForce 845 wirelessly without problems, before this software update was installed.
    Changing the driver from "Epson WorkForce 845" to "Epson WorkForce 600 - Gutenprint v5.2.3" was a workaround that did allow me to print, but I wasn't satisfied with that.
    Found this better solution in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5233149?start=0&tstart=0
    (with thanks to Yuengdog1983):
    This issue may be a result of the Computer Name being left empty:
    Open System Preferences and choose Sharing.
    Enter a name for your computer.
    Even without restarting the MacBook, I was able to now change back to using the Epson WorkForce 845 driver v9.0 successfully. I never would have guessed that a Computer Name is required in order to print!

  • Want to print wirelessly from macbook pro to wired PC and printer

    Want to print wirelessly from macbook pro to wired PC and printer using wireless router.
    I am having trouble setting this up? help? suggestions?

    > Printer is showing its location as a direct connection via USB
    But it's on the PC right ? So it's a shared network printer with a Spooler (this is how it should be configured using Prnter Setup Utility ...)
    > If I click to run dic utility there are no clickable options... only lists calculate image checksum.
    Once Disc Utility is launched, select your local hard drive then the [Repair Permissions] button bottom left will light up.

  • Cannot print wirelessly from MacBook Pro OSX Mavericks

    I cannot get my new MacBook Pro (using OSX Mavericks) to communicate with my HP Officejet4500 Wireless.  I can print when I use a connecting USB cable, but cannot print wirelessly.  All of my Mac software updates are current as of 4/20/2014, which included an update for HP printers.  When I used the disk to install the printer software, it did not have a screen for entering my wireless router ID or passcode.  In the Mac System Preferences for Print and Scan, my Officejet 4500 G510n-z is listed, but to no avail.  What do I have to do to get my Mac to print wirelessly?  Thanks.

    OK, thanks for that.  It may indeed may be the problem, but let's check a couple of things first.
    1. On the printer: Setup > Network > Print Network Test.  Is the printer connected to the network?  If it is not:
         a. In the Network menu, Restore Defaults
         b. In the same Network menu, run the Wireless Setup Wizard to connect the printer to your network.
    2. On your Mac, download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
         Restart your Mac.
    3. Reset the printing system:
    - Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
    - Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
    - Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and then next to the "Use" pulldown, select the printer model (not AirPrint). Wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • Printing wirelessly with MacBook Pro?

    I'm sure this topic has come up before. Does anyone have any ideas how I can print wirelessly using my MacBook Pro? I'm trying to get Airport Express working but the 2 printers that I have are not on the list of compatible printers so I think that I might not get it to work easily.
    It is such a pain to have to take the laptop to the printer and plug it in in order to print. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Just enable printer sharing on the machine hosting the printer (be it a windows box or an OS X machine) and then print to the shared printer. A "cleaner" solution (as your printers get replaced) is jut buy wireless printers. Last year I replaced an old HP deskjet that was shared off my Vista desktop machine with an HP wireless 6988dt printer. Now there is no longer a need to keep the Vista box from sleeping when idle just to be able to print.

  • Printing Wirelessly from MacBook Pro

    Just got a MacBook Pro a few weeks ago. We have an HP PhotoSmart C7180 wireless printer, and I can't figure out how to "connect" the MacBook to the printer wirelessly. The MacBook recognizes the printer when I plug it in, and I connected the printer to my FIOS wireless network that I have. However, when I go to print wirelessly, I get a message saying my printer is off-line.
    I no longer use my AirPort Extreme Base Station because you don't need it with FIOS, which comes with its own wireless network. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Try deleting the printer from the Printers setting (the one that you set up when it's connected directly to your Mac). And then, add a new printer, it should find your printer in the network (if it's connected to the network properly). Add that printer and choose the correct driver.

  • Printing wireless via Macbook Pro but not via iPad

    I was able to install, print my HP Deskjet InkAdvantage 3515 from my Macbook Pro but when tried printing using my iPad, AirPrint printer not available.  How come? Did set-up wireless config in printer too.

    1. Turn the router, iPad and printer off
    2. Turn on the router and then wait 30 seconds
    3. Turn on printer and then wait 30 seconds
    4. Turn on your iPad and test print.

  • Trying to wirelessly connect Macbook pro to Canon MX340 printer

    I am really not computer-minded at all, which is why I love my Mac.  It just does it for me.  Back in November, somehow I wirelessly connected my Macbook pro to our Canon MX 340 printer.  We have moved and now I can't get it to work.  When I go into printer settings on my macbook pro, it lists the printer, but says it is "offline."  The printer is currently hardwired to my husband's HP desktop.  The only troubleshooting skill I have is to turn off the printer and turn it back on, and hope somehow that makes it work.  I have no idea what to do.  Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    Take a look at McTiVia.

  • Wireless to Macbook Pro to Ethernet to G5

    Hi,
    My G5 currently doesn't have a wireless card and I want to get internet to it, however my macbook pro does. Is it possible to run an ethernet cable from my macbook pro to my G5 and use my Macbook pro basically as a wireless card? thanks

    Yes, connect them via Ethernet cable then open System Preferences/Sharing, click [Internet] click [Start] and make sure you're sharing [Airport] over [Ethernet]

  • My wireless connection (MacBook Pro) keeps on randomly turning off every 2-3 minutes and each time I have to reset connection to my personal network

    Hey
    I just got a new MacBook Pro a few days ago and set it up on my home wireless network. But the Wi-Fi keeps on switching off and on randomly - literallly every 2 minutes or so - and I have to check my personal network again so I could get back online. I looked through settings and network preferences/diagnostics to make sure I set up my own network account right and all looks normal.
    Why does Wi-Fi switch off/on so often and so randomly? what can I do?
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    There is a small PRAM battery (different from the main battery) on the logic board that maintains those settings. Yours needs to be replaced. You can try to do it yourself, but I suggest you have it done at an Apple Store or another authorized service outlet.

  • Severe wireless problems; MacBook Pro 13inch Early 2011

    I just installed updates on my MacBook Pro 13inch early 2011.  I now have severe problems with my wireless. What can I do to undo the updates? One of them was a firmare update.

    There is generally no need to undo the Updates, just Re-Do your wireless setup:

  • Why slow wireless download Macbook Pro Bootcamp Xp Leopard

    Problem: wireless download speed is much slower running windows Xp on a macbook pro (bootcamp) than when running OS X. Example OS X = 1,164 KB/sec download, 496 upload vs Xp = 265 KB/sec download, 940 KB/sec upload.
    I have a Macbook Pro Duo Core running OS X 10.5 with the newest Boot camp drivers for windows installed. Test was done using Speakeasy speed test, Safari/Explorer 7.
    funny how only the download speed is slow under Xp, not the upload speed.
    thanks for any help,
    Paul

    Here's a solution that worked for me, my chipset is a Broadcom 802.11n (4328). It's a 24" iMac (Pre Alu).
    Hopefully it helps others. Broadcom have updated WHQL drivers (picked mine up from here, they have Vista versions on there too) and it was just a case of installing those and changing 2 settings.
    Changing IBSS mode to 802.11a/b/g/n Auto:

    Setting the Rate (802.11b/g) to 54:

  • Fixing unstable performance on macbook pro

    Hi team,
    I have a macbook pro bought nov 2011
    It has run fine but recently I have been using it constantly for my new job running Adobe software like Flash, premiere pro and after effects (mainly flash) cs5.5
    intel i7 2.4ghtz quad core with 8Gb ram, shipped with Lion, I have run apple hardware test (short and long) and found no problems.
    Ok so I am having strange behaviour, the audio keeps killing itself, and I have to run the terminal sudo killall coreaudiod.
    My programs are crashing constantly- mainly Flash, Ihave been working on my project for two months and all of a sudden it has become highly unstable, sometimes crashing 10 times in a row.
    I am constantly fixing disk permissions
    Permissions differ on “usr/lib/ruby”; should be lrwxr-xr-x ; they are drwxr-xr-x .
    even if I fix the disk permissions and then do it again straight after I get this same message
    I have got a bootcamp partition on this laptop and it does not show up on the mac side, it is greyed out when looking at it in disk utility.
    Now I do have an older macbook pro and I know that this is not how it should be.
    I am getting a new windows workstation (sorry mac fans!) to run 3DS max and as soon as it comes and I have transferred all data I will try to reinstall lion on this macbook and stop running bootcamp, I have found this laptop does not like it (bootcamping that is)..... but does anyone have any short term solutions for me? I am running time machine so I can get data back. 
    I have never has this kind of performance problems from a mac before (and I have worked with a lot)
    any ideas how to start enjoying to work on this machine rather than it being an extended scary and stressful experience.
    Cheers

    Likely it might be that your Adobe software is not updated or works well with 10.7
    The repair permissions is always going to say that, why it's like this still in 10.7 remains a mystery.
    Check your version of Flash
    http://flashbuilder.eu/flash-player-version.html
    Check your Adboe software if it's current / works well with Lion
