We are trying to get MacBook Pro G4

We are trying to get on the net via a Netgear router. My ipad2 gets on with the same PW but the laptop (with Airport) says "Timeout". I can get on with Ethernet but not the Airport. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

What type of network is the Netgear transmitting? 802.11b, 802.11g, or 802.11n? 2.4GHz or 5GHz? What type of encryption? The PowerBook G4's built-in wireless card is so old that it might not be able to connect if you have the router set to the latest standards only. You may have to allow older standards on the router, but you'll have to find out what it's currently set to.

Trying to restore Macbook Pro back up from Time Machine.

Trying to restore MacBook Pro from backup thru Time Machine. Got message asking "Do you want to replace your current copy of "Desktop" with the one your're restoring? "Desktop is required by OS X. When I select REPLACE, get window stating "Operation can't be completed because the item "Desktop" is in use. HELP

I think you are not restoring your files in the correct way.
If what you want to do is to restore a complete Time Machine backup, you have to do it in OS X Recovery, so first hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting up. Then, choose the option to restore a Time Machine backup, and follow its steps.
If you want to restore individual files, you cannot restore that type of user files because you are using them. Instead, you can restore individual files in your user folders. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427

Are there any new Macbook pro laptops coming out soon?

Are there any new Macbook pro laptops coming out soon? Because if there are i will wait to buy one.

There are always new MacBook Pro models coming out soon. However with current 2011 models you can install the faster, Rosetta program loving OS X Snow Leopard with a hack, instead of the new clitchy and unstable OS X Lion.
So you have a choice now, but for not much longer. If you wait another 6 -8 months, Lion will be stable and more programs will be compatible with it.
If this is your first Mac, I would wait. If you can do a simple hack with another Snow Leopard Mac, then you can opt to get one now and revert it to Snow Leopard and have a stable machine.
Else take your chances with Lion.

It appears to depend upon the version you will be using:

Based on what I can tell, you may have to go to the second hand market in order to get a MBP that will run a compatible OSX.

Can not get MacBook Pro 10.7.2 connected to Panasonic LCD projector to work

Any suggestions on how to get MacBook Pro 10.7.2 working with a LCD Panasonic Projector Model # PT-LB10NTU?

Thanks for the replys.
After spending an hour plus, uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and still not able to print, my husband, sits down, plugs in an ethernet cable, reinstalls the printer with the ip, and it prints. !!! I'd already done that , but that was before I deleted the preferences and installed the Gutenprint driver. I think it was the new Gutenprint driver that did it.

Only one of my fans are working on my macbook pro retina 13 inch late 2013 model. Is something wrong?

It appears that only one of my fans are working on my macbook pro with retina display 13 inch late 2013 model. Is some thing wrong? if so how can i fix it?

To my knowledge there is only one fan on all 13" Mac notebooks, Retina or standard screen. Not enough space for a second fan and no Discrete GPU to cool.
So nothing is wrong.

Many basic programs are missing in my macbook pro

I don't know why but many basic programs are missing in my macbook pro.
I have mountain lion version.
some of them: make, port and etc.
I have a lot of problems with installation of programs in the terminal.
Is there any way to solve it? to install the whole package of programs which are supposed to be built-in?
Nimrod

I have make, after downloading XCode and its commandline extensions (free from App store). Can't help you with the others.

I have upgraded to IOS 7 and now I wish I did not as I have lost face time and iMessage and they would not get activated no mater what I have tried .it seems they are trying to get connected but are unable to do so.

I have upgraded to IOS 7 and now I wish I did not as I have lost face time and iMessage and they would not get activated no mater what I have tried .it seems they are trying to get connected but are unable to do so.
It is becoming frustrating to try to get it activated .
I do not know how to get it activated when it keeps informing me that there is no net work connected
Could not sign in please check your network connection and try again.
For both iMessage and FaceTime .
Any radical solution that you have will be appreciated as it is becoming frustrating .

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

Trying to connect Macbook Pro and IMac...suggestions?

Trying to connect Macbook Pro and IMac with Apple Remote desktop or a cable. They do share a wifi router.
Thanks much!

not sure if you found an answer to this. I just got a mb pro and want it to connect to my imac (late 2009). I set up sharing on hte imac, file sharing and dvd/cd sharing. from the mbpro i simply went to finder>go>connect to server. I entered the name as on my imac (xxx.local) and immediately connected. This was a massive help to me as I had some software (aperture, office for mac) that were on drive and the new mbpro doesn't have a disk drive. through sharing I could access the disc drive remotely via my mbpro and load the software that way. worked beautifully on my wifi (which is apple airport extreme).
Hope this helps.

Can't get bookmarks moved. Been through Profiles changes, tried importing. MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.7

Upgrading to Firefox 4 on a new MacBook Pro. Lost bookmarks. Followed instructions in "Solutions." Several times. Then uninstalled everything and reinstalled 4. Created html files from old laptop for both FF and bookmarks. FF 4 goes through the motions of importing the bookmarks but nothing shows up.

Can't Get MacBook Pro and Mac Pro to Network

I have a MacBook Pro (2008 - 2.5 Ghz. Core 2 Duo with 4 Gb of RAM running OS X 10.6.7) that I have been connecting to my Mac Pro (2005 - 2 2.66 Ghz Xeon with 20 Gb of RAM running OS X 10.6.7) through an Ethernet switch on my school's network. This has worked without a hitch for years, but when I upgraded to 10.6.7 recently, the MacBook and Mac Pro fail to network. On the MacBook Pro, the Mac Pro's icon doesn't show in the shared area, and on the Mac Pro, I can see the icon for the MacBook Pro, but when I click on the icon to connect, I get the message that "Connection Failed There was an error connecting to the server (name of my MacBook Pro). Check the server name or IP address, and then try again." I have tried a direct connect using the "Connect to Server" under the Go menu on both machines, using their IP addresses, but no luck. Is there something I need to re-set to get these two to talk again? I have other Macs on the same network that my MacBook and my Mac Pro can see, and both machines can connect to them. They just can't connect to each other.
Thanks in advance for any ideas you might have on how to fix this.

I fixed the problem by re-setting the default values for my VirusBarrier X6 anti-virus program.
