Wifi doesn't work on macbook pro when not on home wifi

I recently have encountered a problem - when I take my 2013 macbook pro Processor  2.6 GHz Intel Core i5 flash drive. I have no problem accessing wifi in my office but when I travel with my macbook pro and try to access wifi at locations I have had connections with before, I am unable to search. The triangle is clearly connecting with the wifi and the drop down shows that the correct connection has been reached. However, my dropbox icon is gray which is an indication that there isn't an internet connection and I have no access to firefox or safari. Please advise.

Ah, that's OK then.

  • Cinema Display (clear) with DVI/ADC box doesn't work with MacBook Pro

    Cinema Display (clear) with DVI/ADC box doesn't work with MacBook Pro when plugged in with a dvi to mini dvi cable. Any ideas what to do to make it work? I lugged the 23" 2500 miles into the wilderness and I need help

    Okay, here's an update: the DVI to ADC adapter does work with the Apple displays that I have tried, but it won't work with the Formac. I have tried multiple time to contact them, but to no avail... they don't even respond to threats of posting my opinion of them, which is this:
    DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM FORMAC! They make quality products, but their customer service is a big time joke! They won't take care of you.

  • Canon printer WORKS in MacBook Pro but NOT in Chrome/ iPhone 6 after iOS 8 update

    Canon printer WORKS in MacBook Pro but now NOT in Chrome/ iPhone 6 after iOS 8 update. The printer worked previously with NO PROBLEMS. The printer is online & connected to the WiFi, not issues.
    WHY???!!!???

    You probably would get better answers in either the iPhone or iOS forums. This is for Macbooks. I've asked the hosts to move it.

  • Pressing D on boot to get into Diagnostic mode doesn't work. Macbook Pro with OSX 10.6.8

    My charger has stopped working all of a sudden for my MacBook Pro. I tried my friends charger and it works. I've seen a few people mentioning that their charger started working again after running a Diagnostic test at boot up by pressing "D" after powering up the computer.
    I see this instruction all over the web, but it doesn't work for me! I have the OSX DVD in the drive. Holding down "C" while booting makes it boot on the DVD, and holding the Option key will give me a boot menu. But it just boots normally while holding down "D".
    Am I missing something?

    Press D during startup
    Start up in Apple Hardware Test (AHT).
    Apple Hardware Test is included on the DVDs that are shipped with some Macintosh computers. If the copy on your hard drive becomes unavailable, use the DVDs to run Apple Hardware Test.
    For Intel-based Apple computers that shipped with Mac OS X v10.5.4 or earlier, Apple Hardware Test is located on the Mac OS X Install Disc 1 and should be included with your computer.
    For Apple computers that shipped with Mac OS X v10.5.5 to 10.6.7, Apple Hardware Test is located on the Applications Install Disc 2 and should be included with your computer.
    For some Apple computers that shipped with OS X Lion, if Apple Hardware Test cannot be found on the hard drive, an Internet-based version starts up instead.

  • Airplay doesn't work after Macbook Pro repair

    I have a late-2011 Macbook Pro running OS X 10.9.4. I was having trackpad and stability issues so I brought my computer to the Apple store for service. It was sent out for repair and returned with several new parts, including motherboard, trackpad and battery. Since then, Airplay will not work - it worked before the repair, as well as working perfectly on my iPhone currently. There is no Airplay icon on the computer, and when I go to the Display settings it says no devices are detected. I'm up to date with all software. When I restarted the computer, the Airplay icon appeared - I clicked on it, selected AppleTV, then got an error message saying it could not connect. Then the icon disappeared. I've tried restarting my AppleTV, as well as updating the software - still works fine on the iPhone, but not the Macbook Pro. I'm using the same wireless for everything. Thanks for any suggestions!

    first of all
    thank you for helping me fixing this problem. I got the report of my network and it shows in the image the result.
    also the TV is near my ATV along with the router'EA2700' and modem from grande communication but nothing in top of others or closed space. also it is not encrypted

  • Frustrated: Just bought PSE 10 and doesn't work on Macbook Pro?

    I hope someone can help. 
    I have a Macbook Pro running Version 10.7.4 and I have just bought Photoshop Elements 10. 
    Having installed PSE 10 from DVD as instructed, when I try to open it I get a message that says: Photoshop Elements 10 cannot be opened because of a problem.  
    I have no idea where to turn next?!
    Thanks

    Well, PSE 6 and up all work fine in 10.7.4, so let's try to find out what went wrong. Are you running from an admin account? If you have antivirus software did you disable it while installing? How are you trying to open PSE?

  • My external HDD doesn't works on Macbook Pro ML

    Hi,
    my external HDD works on Windows and Macbook SL, doesn't with Macbook Pro ML.
    I can't see it in Disk Utility.
    Can someone help me or suggest what I have to do?
    Thanks

    Based on what you have said, I do not have an answer for you.  The obvious difference is the OS, but I find it difficult to believe that would be the problem. 
    Do you have another HDD to attach to the MBP?  That seems to be my last arrow in my quiver.
    Ciao.

    Welcome to Discussions, diefokkenkinders
    Your Mac should work properly from the first time you turn it on. 
    If your MBP did not work the first time you tried it, I agree with sig that you should return it for service including a thorough check to be certain there are no other problems with your particular machine.
    If you want to try some things before returning your Mac, or if your iSight once worked but has is now giving trouble, you can try the suggestions in Apple's Troubleshooting article:

  • Icloud 'Localise my mac' doesn't work on macbook pro

    hi all
    i try to localise my macbook pro (model just before retina, modified with SSD disc), but icloud 'localise my mac' is greyed and asks for a recovery hd which i dont have.  i tried to install it from apple but it says 'problem with java, impossible to install'.
    i've searched on every apple community sites... and i got some solutions, which didn't work.  i've already tried to reboot as single user, command S, and also tried to repair permissions etc in disc utility.
    any better ideas?
    (ps : all my other apple devices (mac pro, iphone, ipad) work perfectly and i can localise them).
    thanks in advance

    apparently this problem must be kinda hard to solve..?

  • Front Row doesn't work on MacBook Pro 17

    I just got my nice MacBook Pro 17, which includes Front Row manual and that cute remote control...
    However, i could open Front Row.
    Actualy, the application is not installed. I just found FrontRow.pkg inside the folder HD/Library/Receipts/FrontRow.pkg
    I contact apple.com and downloaded versions there, but couldn't install anyone since the instalers claim that my computer is not equiped to run Front Row (????)
    I couldn't get any support form apple.
    Could anybody help me, pls?

    great!
    I found the same question and the SOLUTION in this forum. Thank you!.
    Pity that the Macbook Pro17 SPANISH manual just says "open the Front Row application" and not how to do (holding Comand-Esc).....
    Nice laptop though....
    Thanks again!

  • Thunderbolt Display works with MacBook Pro but not iMac. Huh?

    I have a Thunderbolt Display, which I normally keep connected as an "extended desktop" to my MacBook Pro -- no problem.
    Starting today, I'm using a borrowed iMac and I had hoped to switch my Thunderbolt Display over and do the same arrangement: "extended desktop." However, the display does not come on when I power up the iMac, and clicking the "detect displays" button in the Displays Preferences window does not help.
    This iMac was previously set up with an a different Thunderbolt Display in its original home, and seemed to work fine. I saw it with my own eyes. My own Thunderbolt Display still works fine when connected to my MacBookPro. It's only the combination of my monitor to the borrowed iMac that doesn't work.
    Both the MacBook Pro and the iMac are running OS X Version 10.7.3. The MacBook has an AMD Radeon HD 6770M card, and the iMac is using an ATI Radeon HD 5750.
    Ideas?

    Both the mini-displayport plugs and TB plugs are physically compatible which is why you can plug it in.   But if the iMac has a mini-displayport for video it won't work with the TB display.
    Check your System Profile to see if it tells you whether you have a TB port.  And if there is no information about that post here or look up for yourself the kind of ports for that model of iMac.  System Profiler will give yo that information (click Hardware on the left).  From the model information it can be definitively determined whether that imac supports TB.
    Also, so long as the Displays system preferences is not showing an Arrangement tab then it is not detecting the second display.

  • Garagekey USB keyboard works with MacBook Pro, but not with 27"  iMac

    Just got a brandnew 27" iMac. The Garagekey USB keyboard doesn't work. It's recognized in systemProfiler, Audio-Midi Setup, GarageBand and Logic. But no Midi is coming in. When I plug it into my MacBook Pro, it works immediately. I know the Garagekey doesn't work with some 3rd party USB hubs, maybe for lack of enough power, but it works always at the internal USB hubs with the MacBook Pro. Why doesn't it with the 27" iMac? I'm cueless...
    The IMac Systemprofiler says: Current Available (mA) 500, Current Required (mA) 300. So I guess, it can't be a power problem?

    Have the same problem with Logic Pro. Works on my old Mac Mini but not on the new iMac 27" i5. Apple told me that it is a difference between the boards they used on the two computers. They said that even if I got a new mac mini I would run into the same problem. they recommended that I upgrade my mini, or try another piece of hardware to connect the two. Looking for hardware now. Good luck to you.
