What's with my Macbook's internet?

I have a problem with my internet not working on my macbook pro, for a week now. And my internet at home works fine because i was able to connect with my ps3, I went to a public hotspot and my wifi on my macbook still didnt work. I think i know what may have caused this, i deleted an apple library file, and since then my interent hasnt been able to work. I'm wondering what i can do to fix this.

I'm going to assume that you're talking about buying a WiFi base station/router from your cellular provider, something like the Aluratek CDW530AM, or Verizon MiFi. These devices create a wifi network for you iPhone, MacBook and other devices via your cellular provider.
The benefit is that multiple devices will be able to use your cellular internet connection at the same time.
In your case you also will not have to have your MacBook turned on to provide this access, the mobile hotspot will do it for you. On the downside, unless you have an unlimited data plan with your cell provider, you need to be careful that having more devices sharing that data plan doesn't cause you to go over your plan limit.

I need appleisightinstaller.exe to install the isight driver for Windows Vista running in Parallel Desktop 6 for Mac, but I don't have a Leopard DVD. What came with my Macbook Air was a flash stick "MacBook Air Software Reinstall Drive" only.

All,
A very interesting NOTE to this thread. In order to try and get the "ignore permissions" box to show up in GET INFO (so I could execute Matt the Magician's solution to file sharing issues)-- I ran the terminal command for disabling ACLs on my internal HD / start up disk (as indicated in the linked thread to BDAqua's forum).
Although I understand that this was useless for disabling permissions on the start up disk (as everyone here pointed out) and allowing me to see the "ignore permissions" check box - somehow it did seem to fix my file sharing problem...and that was the root problem I wanted solved in the first place! After doing the terminal command and a quick reboot, I went in and tested file sharing on the chosen directory and I can create new files or work from existing files in the directory, with both users being able to modify / and save from both machines and each machine sees the revisions and can build from them. Bottom line - I'm stoked and want to thank everyone for their help.
The only other tweak I made was going over to my wife's machine and instead of using her log in / password, I just used my name and password to connect to my main machine that was sharing directories. Maybe that's what fixed the problem or the ACL disable but either way...I'm up and running the way I want to be.
Hope this thread helps anyone else who has these file sharing / permissions issues with Leopard. Especially for anyone wanting to do such a simple file sharing set up between 2 computers. I wish I understood exactly which tweak fixed the problem, but at least it works the way I want now.
So happy to be done w/this one!
Thx everyone. Any additional input on what solved it is welcome, so my curiosity is quelled...

What happen with my Macbook Pro

Hi
First I'm sorry for my bad English. I have issue with my Macbook Pro Retina 15" 2.3Ghz (Mid 2012)
following this picture
I'm using for only After Effect CS6, Photoshop CS2 and 1 extend monitor dell 23" Never take it to outside. 3-6 hours use per day at a 26 ° C
I did not buy apple care because the old macbook pro (Mid 2008) never had any problems for 5 years is a mistake of mine.
Please help.
Thank you very much.

I would run the Apple Hardware Test to see if it detects any video hardware issues.

Im only getting a grey screen and a spinningwheel, whats wrong with my MacBook?

My laptop only displays a greyscreen with the white apple in middle. The wheel spins, but that's all. What can I do?

Gosingers,
you can try this: boot your MacBook Pro from your grey Mac OS X Install DVD or your white Snow Leopard DVD. When the desktop appears, select Utilities from the menu bar, and then select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it get past the grey screen now?

What happened with my MacBook? It has a lot of lines on all screen after loading.

hi! it happened one week ago. before I installed the new OS (mavericks) on my MacBook Pro. yesterday when I have used it, instantly appeared on screen a lot of lines. I tried to restart it but it show me the same when it is loading. I tried to make recovery ( by pressing "alt option" key) and choosing recovery mode, but it didn't help.

Whats up with my macbook pro?

the mouse, (trackpad) has been moving on its own, randomly "right "clicking on things, and zooming in and out of things. or just zooming and staying zoomed in, this all happens without me touching the trackpad. when i do touch to move the cursor, or click on somethign it "fights" me. Also it has been occasionally going to the launchpad, which i noticed had 10 of the same adobe files, not sure if its related or not but the first occurence was three days ago, i was watching a youtube video and it got stuck in the zoom mode. i quit safari, return to youtube and it said i needed to update adobe, i did so, but then i went back and it said the same thing, also, about every other youtube video i try to watch, says currently unavailble... I didnt not sign up for the HTML5 trial, and my battery is not swollen. IDeas?
this is my comp info,.....
15 in, macbook pro, early 2011
2.2 GHz Intel Core i7,
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4

I should mention that Firefox works fine... except the mouse moving stuff, the same videos will work in firefox but not safari

Whats grong with my MacBook Pro?

This is a link to the video.

So what you are saying is that you push the power button to boot your MBP and it makes sounds but doen't boot up. I would take it to an Apple store or AASP.

How do I connect TC to a new ethernet and share a new ethernet DSL with a new PC and use with my macbook Pro? I tried and get no internet on the PC or Macbook Pro?

how do I connect TC to a new ethernet and share a new ethernet DSL with a new PC and use with my macbook Pro? I tried and get no internet on the PC or Macbook Pro?

Ok.
I am connected to wi-fi through TC connected to a specific router and is working perfectly and saving data through TM without any issues.
The TC version is 7.6.1 and am using OS 10.7.3
The router mode is on Bridge mode and router is connected to TC through USB cable, I suppose for internet access. My Mac is on wi-fi through TC
I have another location, much further, which recently have been installed with wi-fi through router that has WPA accessibiulity with password, 100% different than the current one.
Since, I will be most of my time in this new location, I wish to move my TC to this new location, and configure it in similar fashion like what I am having right now.
Naturally, I do not wish to lose any saved data on the TC.
Hope I managed to provide enought info.
Thanks in advance

Having trouble browsing the internet at home with my MacBook

I have been having issues browsing the web from home with my MacBook. When I try to go to pretty much any web site (Google, Yahoo!, Facebook, etc) the page starts loading and makes minimal progress before it stalls and I'm staring at a blank white browser window. The page will eventually load after about 3-4 minutes but only partially.
I have a Belkin N+ router (model F5D8235-4 v2) and a fiber optic internet service. My sister and my brother-in-law are able to access any and all sites quickly and completely. She has a MacBook Pro and he has a Dell Inspiron (so it doesn't seem to be a Mac vs Windows issue). We have tried changing the router password type from WEP to WPA. I've tried to hardwire into my router with no success. I have cleared my entire cache, history, and cookies - still no change. I have also not had any success with using a different browser.
I have no issues when I'm using my Mac at work (on a T1 line with an Ethernet cable) or at my mother's house (Netgear ADSL2+ wireless router). I'm curious as to what I can do to fix this. My Mac friends at work and my systems analyst/programmer dad are all as confused as I am. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

The Learning Center uses Flash. My guess is that you probably installed the PowerPC Flash plugin and replaced the Universal plugin that ships with the Intel-based Macs.
To restore the Universal version of the plugin, go to http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=2dda3d81 and download the preview release.

I installed my new iMac with my Macbook Pro 2008 backup and created a network with the iMac and now the Macbook Pro cannot get internet.

I installed my new iMac with my Macbook Pro 2008 back up. I created a iMac network with Airport extreme, but now my Macbook Pro cannot get internet. any ideas on why or what to do about it.

Hello 1BillyMac,
It seems you have a network conflict that isn't allowing your MacBook Pro to connect to the internet. This may be caused by both computers sharing identical network settings. You may want to consider creating a new network location on your MacBook Pro to assign new network settings. The following article will instruct you on how to do that:
OS X Yosemite: Add a network location
A network location is a group of network settings
A network location is a group of network settings for your various network services (Ethernet or Wi-Fi for example).
If you often change network settings, you may find switching between locations quicker and easier than repeatedly modifying individual groups of settings.
For example, you might want to make a location for “home,” where you connect to the Internet with a telephone modem, and a location for “office,” where you connect to your company network and the Internet using Ethernet or AirPort.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Network.
Click the Location pop-up menu, choose Edit Locations, then click Add .
Enter a name for the location, then click Done.
Enter settings for each network connection service you want to use in that location.
After you create your locations, you can switch all of your network settings by clicking the Location pop-up menu and choosing a different location.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

What dongles will work with a macbook OSX 10.6

Hello.
I have an old Macbook (2006) 13 inch and I have upgraded to Snow Leopard and the system is running OSX 10.6.8 and I am wondering what dongles will work with my Macbook. I am moving to a studio that doesn't have an internet connection and I think this is the only way I will be able to connect.
Thanks

I just cleaned the drive with a CD Lens cleaning kit, it looked like an ordinary CD but had two small brushes on it, a small amount of ethanol on the brushes, pop it in your superdrive, DVD's are now recognized
Was just a dirty laser, weird how it wrote CD's and not DVD's though, anyway, problem solved.

Will the Apple mini DVI to video adapter work with a macbook? What to Buy?

I went to my local Apple Reseller and asked for a mini dvi to video adapter to use to connect my macbook to a tv using either s-video or the yellow RCA cable. I was told that they only had the one that was for an ibook and Power book and that this would not work with a Macbook. I would need a different one. Is this correct. If so, what do I need? I have looked on the online Apple Store and cannot find anything that fits this description. They only list one type of Mini DVI to tv adapter? I just want to be able to connect my Macbook to a TV.

As it happens, I just bought the mini-DVI to video connector for my wife's Macbook (C2D) yesterday. I am in Australia (which is a PAL country), but I didn't see anything on the device or the packaging which indicated it as being PAL-specific. In fact, in Display Preferences when it is connected to the Mac and TV and in use, the panel relating to the TV output (which is shown by the Mac on the TV screen) is where you select between PAL-50Hz and NTSC-60Hz, so I'd guess it is a single worldwide device, rather than their being separately-manufactured PAL and NTSC variants of the connector.
Anyway, on the back of the top cardboard part of the packaging is a picture of the connectors (because you cannot really see the pins in the Mini-DVI connector itself when packaged, due to an opaque plastic "keeper" over the end of the plug).
To reconfirm what is said above, the pin configuration on the mini-DVI port on the MacBook and what you need on the Mini-DVI connector is a horseshoe or "U" shape. I don't remember if any specific model of Mac is listed, but I believe as long as it is that U-shaped connector you'll be fine with the same connector kit.
The "mini-VGA to video" connector is not what you want for a MacBook; mini-VGA is not "U"-shaped inside, but rather two rows of pins in "II" configuration (even though the outside dimensions of mini-VGA and mini-DVI look very similar).

Can I use an USB disc with my macbook pro bought in 2005. What capacity will it take 2.00 or 3.00?

can I use an USB disc with my macbook pro bought in 2005. What capacity will it take 2.00 or 3.00?

The first MacBook Pro's were not released until the beginning of 2006, and they had USB 2 ports.
Anything available new in 2005 would have been a PowerBook G4 and they also had USB 2 ports.
A USB 3 disk will just transfer data slower then it could do, if you plug it into a USB 2 port though, so you can buy either.

What's with my Macbook's internet?
