Viewing lan sites hosted on macbook pro (apache) via wifi router

Hi, thanks for stopping by. Hope you can help.
I've my macbook pro (Lion) set up to serve several websites locally. In the httpd-vhosts.config I've got the addresses set up:
<VirtualHost *:80>
etc.,
ServerAlias site.localhostname.lan
</VirtualHost>
I have a netbook (Windows 7) which via my router (wifi) I can view these sites such as... http://site.localhostname.lan
My wifi only iPad (iOS 5.1.1) also connected to the router however tells me the server cannot be found after inputting the .lan address ...
Any pointers would be gratefully received, thank you.

Just an update. I'm doing my best to resolve this myself.
localhostname.lan works (takes my iPad to the Sites folder on the macbook).
So this is where I'm at, wondering why the ServerAlias (and DocumentRoot) in the config file (mentioned above) is being ignored. Don't know if I'm on a wild goose chase with this.
I found another thread in here which seemed to focus on MAMP (something I've never used, always used the native Apache server).
I'll keep searching and hoping someone will be able to help out a bit, thank you.

Recent convert to Apple. Previously, I backed up my family pictures from PC to an external hard drive, a WD MyBook 3T. I can view the pics on my Macbook Pro, but I can't add new pictures. I'm sure this is a format issue, any easy way to correct it?

If you were going to be reading and writing to a NTFS System Partition, you might have to worry about the instability messing up the operating system. However, you are reading/writing from a non system, backup device so you don't have to worry about screwing up an operating system.
I would still temporarily move my data to another device and reformat the drive for Mac OS X Extended.

My Macbook Pro i7 lost wifi connection

Hi, my Macbook Pro i7 lost wifi connection. I don't know why, but my connection is lost every time. I've other PC, tablets etc. (Windows, iPhone, iPad) and all is ok. Only Macbook Pro i7 have this problem. Some help?

Well if then, if it is two weeks old, I suggest a trip to the Genius Bar at your Apple Store... it may well be a warranty issue.
I am sorry I was not able to be any help at all besides WANTING to!
Were you running your other wireless machines at the SAME time? And you had nobody in the house using mixers (for drinks or cake and cookie batter) or hair dryers? Clothes dryers....?
While thinking of Brasil and weather- I saw on our public TV station a few months ago- a story about a fishing boat, I think south of Rio de Janeiro, who encountered a hurricane- and only one fellow lived. Ouch!
Report back if you can save the link to the page, or the emails of the answers, to tell what the Apple store said...

Macbook Pro Snow Leopard; WiFi keeps dropping, no IP Address

Macbook Pro Snow Leopard; WiFi keeps dropping. Issue is Macbook is not getting an IP address from the wireless routers DHCP Server. Tried all options in the forums. Reboot, changing security, PRAM reset .. nothing. Problem keeps happening. No issues on XP laptops and Nokia phones.
Even the iPhone, iPod and iPad seems to be fine. It is just the dang gam it Macbook pro and it is driving me crazy.
All fixes tried, changing wireless mode, security, PRAM ... only thing left is to rebuild the mac which i was hoping I can avoid somehow.
Any ideas to fix this would be great!

Change your router channel. Sometimes this all you will have to do.
System Preferences/Internet & Network/Network
Unlock the padlock
Locations: Automatic
Highlight Airport
Click the Assist Me button
In the popup window click the Diagnostic button.
System Preferences/Network- Unlock padlock. Highlight Airport. Network Name-select your name. Click on the Advanced button. Airport/Preferred Networks-delete all that is not your network.
Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined." Click the OK button and lock the padlock. Restart your computer.

No internet connection (wireless)
Check to see if an extra entry is present in the DNS Tab for your wireless connection (System Preferences/Network/Airport/Advanced/DNS).
Delete all extra entries that you find.

How to diagnose and resolve Wi-Fi slow-downs

My MacBook Pro will not connect to my home wifi but will connect everywhere else. My other Apple devices (I-pad, I-touch, another MacBook Pro) connect to the router without problems. It was working fine but all of a sudden stopped working.Thanks!

try this.
get back into your router's settings and start deleting devices that are not connected to your router.
you can also delete the ones that are connected - they'll connect again.
on the DHCP side of it, increase the amount of users that can connect/log in to your router.
see if that sorts it out for you.
good luck.

MacBook Pro disconnects from wifi and tells me that my password is incorrect

recently my MacBook Pro disconnects from wifi and when I try to reconnect it says invalid password. I know the password is correct and the network is the right one. I usually just spam the sender key and eventually it connects. but 10 minutes later it will disconnect again and the whole process starts again

Which password, the one for your router, or the one for your email account?

Can i charge my Macbook Pro using my wife's macbook adapter ?

I'm not talking about charge and use at the same time. I simply want to plug my fully hibernated macbook pro into my wifes 65W power adapter (for her macbook) and charge my machine. Don't care if it takes longer.
But will it work ? Or will it damage my battery ?
I know that i should not be able to do it the other way around (charge her macbook using my 80w macbook pro adapter).

Yes, you can use the MacBook power adapter to recharge both the MacBook and the MacBook Pro. When using the MacBook power adapter to recharge the MacBook Pro, you can only either recharge or use the MacBook Pro on adapter power, it won't do both. It won't really take any longer, at least not that I have noticed.
Also, the MacBook Pro power adapter is autosensing and will recharge the MacBook (it switches to the lower 65 watts)---look on the power adapter, and you'll see both 65 and 85 watts listed.
So, you can use either power adapter for either the MacBook or the MacBook Pro (with just the one limitation I stated above).

MacBook pro and airport extreme router. How to print wirelessly to an old HP wireless photosmart all in one printer

With MacBook pro and airport extreme router, how can I print wirelessly to an old HP wireless photosmart all in one printer? What is needed or what process?

You need to make sure that the HP has an updated printer driver that works with 10.6 for that printer. You can check here:

Can't connect iPhone 5s to macbook pro retina via bluetooth

Just downloaded Yosemite and am trying to pair my iPhone 5s to my macbook pro retina via bluetooth to take advantage of call handoff. I cannot get the pairing to work. It appears to try to connect, sends the pair code to my phone and I accept, but then fails. My phone mysteriously shows two available options for my Macbook Pro. Can't figure that out either. I tried resetting my network settings on my phone, and did a two button reset on my phone as well. Any suggestions?

I have a feeling this is a Yosemite bug (or iOS 8). I'm getting the same error message, and I also have 2 copies of my macbook air (2013) showing up on my phone (iphone 6 plus) . Bluetooth is on for both devices, its just still telling me it cant get network access even after momentarily saying its connected and giving me a pair code.
Update: Unpairing the phone and re-pairing doesn't fix anything. Still get a pair code, then it immediately disconnects.

How do I transfer iweb site to new macbook pro?

I used migration assistant to transfer from old macbook to new macbook pro. Both are using lion. When I open iWeb on the new computer it does not show my site. Both computers are connected by firewire, where do I find the files? This site is not published to mobile me, it is hosted by godaddy.
thanks
Joe

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder. Once you've unhidden the library it's a simple matter of copying the domain file from your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on the old Mac to the same folder on the new one. You may have to create an iWeb folder on the new Mac if there is not one.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Wake on Lan works on my MacBook Pro, not on my iMac...

Hello everyone, with all these threads about the problem, I wanted to start a new one to make it clear, with all information you may need in order to help me out.
I've got a MacBook Pro '15 and an iMac 21.5', both are running (clean install) OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2, both are up to date with the latest updates, both have the same apps, both have the same settings in "system preferences", and of course the same settings in "sharing" options.
My iMac is connected to my 5GHz network from my Time Capsule while my MacBook Pro use the 2.4GHz network.
Before going to bed, I leave both my Macs turned on, after 10min they go to sleep automatically. In the morning I can wake up my MacBook Pro from my iPhone or iPad with a screen sharing app.
The iMac doesn't respond at all. It stays in sleep mode. I can leave my MacBook Pro asleep for a week, it always responds. The iMac responds after a few hours but after 6 or 8 hours it seems to be completely asleep and doesn't respond to anything. If you think it's about the iPhone/iPad's app, when I try to wake the iMac from my MacBook Pro with "Back to my Mac" I have the same results.
I tried to connect my iMac to the 2.4GHz network: same problem.
OF COURSE "WAKE ON LAN" is activated in my system preferences.
I made a reset of the PRAM, the cache and the SMC on my iMac: same problem.
I type sudo periodic daily weekly monthly in the terminal and sudo dscacheutil -flushcache: same problem.
I tried everything I may have found in the forums or on this Support from people having the same issue: same problem.
I even tried to set the iMac with the same sleep mode as my MacBook Pro: same problem.
PLEASE HELP ME!

I understand that, but if your router is not an Apple AirPort Base Station then it introduces an element of uncertainty. Apple has implemented many changes related to wireless networking recently.
You are complicating matters by changing networkoversleep:
networkoversleep - this setting affects how OS X networking presents shared network services during system sleep. This setting is not used by all platforms; changing its value is unsupported.
Solving problems like this requires that you simplify your network environment and eliminate its unknowns. Using third party routers and making unsupported changes runs counter to simplification.
The iMac stays connected to the Time Capsule about 6 hours during sleep. Then it dissapears...
The iMac wakes periodically (every few hours) to inform your router of its network presence for Wake on LAN demands. Try changing your router's DHCP lease period to something longer than a few hours. For a home environment, a few days is more appropriate. This may not solve the problem, but it is better than making unsupported changes to your system.

Keynote '09 Light table view causes crash on Retina MacBook Pro

I just discovered a problem with Keynote '09 (V. 5.1.1, build 1034) on my MacBook Pro 15'' Retina (2.7 GHz Intel Core i7; 16 GB RAM, 1600 MHz DDR3, under Lion version 10.7.4). More often than not, when I go into "Light Table" view, Keynote suddenly crashes with a dialog box quickly flashing on and off, so rapidly that it cannot be read. The only way out of Keynote when this happens is to Force Quit. This does not happen on any of my other Macs (MB Air, iMac, older MB Pro). I suspect it has something to do with the Retina display model. Any advice?

More about my post: Actually, I since discovered the problem occurs on another computer running Snow Leopard and appears to be unique to this one Keynote document. I solved my own problem by copying the screens from the allegedly-corrupt document to a new document. There is no problem with Light Table mode in the new document. Never had this problem with Keynote before, which I've been using more than any almost any other app since 2006 in connection with my work.

Safest site to sell Macbook Pro retina

I have a like new early 2013 MacBook Pro with retina display15.4" I want to sell. It is 16Gb ram, 512 HD, Mountain Lion (I never upgraded to anything else)and I have the box etc. I also have AppleCare on it until 2016. I will cancel AppleCare after sold to JayBrokers or site like that. I will have checked out Jay Brokers (BBB rating very good) and iGotOffer Site. Sell your Mac also I checked out. It shows between $1242.00 and $1270. as what I would get. The gazelle site was low on price paid.
I don't like Craig's List as too many shady people send emails and then try and scam you. This happened to a few of my friends. Although the reviews are good on each site I wanted to see about what you thought. If a person bought this locally I would transfer the AppleCare. I don't sell on eBay either. I deauthorized on my Windows laptop and will also take off my list of items registered with Apple when sold.
My MacBook Pro was reset as I called Apple to have them walk me through it. I deauthorized the computer, my iTunes account and App Store account. I signed out of iCloud and never was signed into iMessage or Find My Phone. I only had about 20 battery cycles on it and it is flawless in every way. It also has the Samsung screen. awesome. I have a Windows 7 laptop and two iPads and use them more.
Any help would be welcomed. If Apple bought used Apple products I would take it there. If I sell in a local paper I just want someone to do something to it after they buy it and then want their money back. This sold new for over $2700.00.
Thanks

Most people are honest, but the few that are not certainly make the rest wary. A cash only sale with a 'where is, as is' policy protects you. If the potential customer is savvy, he/she will run an Apple Hardware Test, perform a few functions and test the charger among other things. Plan to spend an hour+ with them for that reason. After all, neither of you know each other.
There is always the possibility that some thing may go wrong at any time. Generally you have no control over that. Life is not without risk. If the terms are clearly understood, you should not have any post sale problems to deal with.
Ciao.

View olm in outlook on macbook pro

I thought I was saving an email to the system and it actually saved all my email as an .olm file and now I cannot open the file in Outlook on my Macbook Pro. Help! The emails were deleted from my server (godaddy) and there is an archived email folder on Outlook but there is nothing in it or at least nothing I can see.

Hello,
This problems seems intermittent... I kept restarting PP yesterday and got it to work; pretty strange though as this has never happened before. That makes 2 occasions though after updating PP this has happenned. I'm running:
PP 2014.2
Late 2011 17" MacBook Pro with Yosemite 10.10.1, 16GB ram, AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB, Crucial M500 SSD
It seems to happen regardless of footage types in project. No third party codecs. Using Mercury Playback.
When this happens, PP shows the missing footage message in the production monitor, and just shows a black screen in the source monitor.
