Wifi keeps dropping on macbook pro

I just bought a macbook pro and wifi keeps dropping every 5-10 mins. I have to turn airport off and on again for it to work but still it keeps dropping. If I reset my router, wifi will not drop but the following day it will still drop. Any help please?

I have tried contacting apple about the problem-but to no avail.
I'm sorry, but I find this hard to believe if you called them.
A few suggestions:
Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
See KB Articles: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1401 AirPort troubleshooting guide
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712 Using network locations in Mac OS X
============================
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.
Also, run the Airport Utility app which is located inside the Utilities folder.
=====================
If using Linsys router contact LinkSys Customer Support and/or post in their forums.
If using Apple's Airport, please re-post over in one of the AirPort Forums.

Potential Fix to the WiFi connection dropping on MacBook Pro

I, along with a number of other people who have posted here, was experiencing WiFi connection drops after a few minutes on my brand new MacBook Pro, which is running OS X 10.7.5. Rather than going the route of plugging in a static IP address, I decided to look at other options within the Network Preferences. Under "Advanced," I went to the TCP/IP tab and set "Configure IPv6" to "Link-local only." By default it is set to "Automatically." The WiFi connection has not dropped since that change was made. It may not fix all the issues being experienced, but it might help at least some people having the disconnect issue.

Nice post, thanks!

Wifi keeps disconnecting on MacBook Pro

While my ipad, iphone, and apple tv maintain a consistent wifi connection, my macbook pro has recently been disconnecting every few minutes. Has anyone experienced a simlar issue or have any ideas on a fix? The network is password protected and doesnt seem to be causing any problems with other devices. If I hardwire the notebook, there are no problems.

Hello rpaolino,
I would reommend taking a look at some of the troubleshooting steps included in the article below.

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.

Delete all extra entries that you find.

Wifi keeps dropping out on MacBook Pro after installing Yosemite

Wifi keeps dropping out on MacBook Pro after installing Yosemite. This is not good. Apparently, a lot of people are having this issue with Yosemite. Any suggestions for my MacBook Pro? It's bad enough that Yosemite looks so boring, but to have a major issue like constantly disconnecting from wifi is deplorable.
I plan to keep Mavericks on my iMac until this issue is resolved.

I dropped my macbook pro on the floor and I wanted to see how much it would cost to get a bent corner on the lid to get fixed.

I recently dropped my macbook pro from the couch and it fell on the floor that was about a foot down. Nothing really major happened except for that the same area where the screen is, on the exterior of that there is a slightly bent corner. I really wanted my macbook pro to look in good condition and I wanted to know if there is any way I can repair this or do I have to replace the whole lid. I would also like to know how much it would cost. Please Help!

Apple Genius Bar will know better, even if you did show us a picture. We are just users like you.
I would start keeping very regular backups regardless.

I dropped my Macbook Pro and now the battery is swollen, should I bring it to the genius bar?

My Macbook Pro fell off my bed (approx. 3ft) and dented the left side of the front left corner on the battery meter. Besides the damage everything seemed okay for a little while until I kept getting a erratic curser track pad. I kept cleaning it thinking some dirty or oil may of got on it or in the edges, but long story short I found out my battery is swollen and thats the reason for the erratic curser. The drop and dent impacted the battery causing it to swell. I feel that I just need a new battery. I purchased my macbook from the apple store and still have applecare. However I've researched online a bit and saw some people posted that if you drop your macbook, Apple will void my coverage. I also read that when people have had a swollen battery and applecare, they just brought it into the Genius bar and they went to the back and brought them a new battery. I've been super nervous to go see them as I've spent the extra bucks on Applecare and did not get any use of it. If anyone has had this issue or knows about it, please let me know!!

Safari keeps stoping on Macbook Pro OSX 10.6.8

Hello fellow Macbook Pro user's,
Safari keeps stoping on Macbook Pro running OSX 10.6.8. I'll startup the laptop and go to a few different websites, the type in, or click on a link, or bookmark to go to a differrent website, and it stops working.
Only thing I can do is shut down the Laptop and restart it.
What can I try to stop this problem?

Depends on how the partitons are arranged. If they're exactly as quoted, then yes.
Open Disk Utility and select the partition tab.
In the diagram, the top partition needs to be the one you're booted from, and partition 2 the middle one.
Select Partiton 2 so that it's highlighted, and click the '-' button below the diagram.
Drag the bottom right corner of partition 1 down to meet partition 3.

WIFI on my 2011 MacBook Pro all the sudden works again!!!

Hmmmm- Im wondering here! has mac finaly solved the WIFI problems that my macbook PRO form 2011 was born with??
From Day one when I got the macbook the wifi has been extreamly slow and most not working at all!! kicking me off networks and so on!
I have tried everything to fix this proble but gave up a month ago! but then today I downloaded a uptate! I didnt let me know what it was I donloaded from
the official apple update site! but eversince my WIFI has worked PERFECT! super speed super connection! everything has been superb!!
So how the sudden change?
Has apple worked out the problem? or am i gonna have to fear I will have the same problems in a few hours?
Im hoping that apple has fixed it and the just didnt tell people that they did because they have been so silent about this issue! and not admitting there was a problem!
Well if any one out there had the same probem and after downloading todays update it works again let me know please:)

I have had no WiFi issues with my 2011 MBP so I don't know what you are referring to. It has worked from the start.

So I dropped my Macbook Pro. Can something be wrong with it?

So I just dropped my Macbook Pro about three feet off of my bed. I had it charging and accidently pulled it and it fell. I had a case on it and I removed the case and it had no dents or any visible damage. I completed a diagnostic test and everything came up clear. Can anythiing be wrong with it?

Can something be wrong? Of course.
However, if nothing came up in diagnostics and you can do everything that you normally do without problems, you should be okay. If problems start coming up later, this may be the cause of it (especially problems with a hard disk, as you may have caused damage to it when it fell).

Outlook 2011 slow, clunky and keeps crashing with macbook pro os x 10.8.4 - any hints?? ta

You might look in your User Library for Outlook .plist(s). They probably start with com.microsoft.
Quit Outlook.
Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Preferences. Move the .plist(s) to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist(s) from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist(s) to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Dropped my Macbook Pro 13inch

Hello,
I dropped my macbook pro 13inch-unibody and I have a dent in the corner of my screen. it doesn't affect the actualy visual part of the screen but I would like to undent it. Also, I have some scratches on the bottom of the notebook and would like to get rid of it as well. Is there any way to do that?

If you want to get rid of the scratches and dents you need to take it to an Apple Store or AASP and have the damaged parts replaced. It won't be inexpensive but it shouldn't cost anything for a price quote. My suggestion is to begin taking better care of it and also to get some protective covers.

I am looking for wifi adapter for my MacBook Pro(Mavericks 10.9.2)

i am looking for wifi adapter for my MacBook Pro(Mavericks 10.9.2). Somebody help me to find compatible Wifi adapter for my MacBook.
Thank you!!

Thanks Bob! i already opened this search page but i didn't found anything compatible to mavericks!!!!
Then you are not looking very well. The first one in the list has compatible wifi adapters. Mavericks compatable wifi adapters are included in most of the results from my link.
If there are not enough results included in the list try modifying my search term. Try this instead:
https://www.google.com/search?q=usb+wifi+adapter+for+mavericks
There are dozens/hundreds listed.

I dropped my macbook pro 17" from about 4 feet from my shelf onto a hard floor and it dinged the corner pretty bad, but it still works OK. a year back also it fell of from 1ft height but that time there was not any dent.

I dropped my macbook pro 17" from about 4 feet from my shelf onto a hard floor and it dinged the corner pretty bad, but it still works OK. a year back also it fell of from 1ft height but that time there was not any dent. my worry is will it give any prop in future or its just a cosmetic issue but in performance it wont give any problems. it happened an hr back & i am very upset for this misshandling.

I dropped a MBP and dented that same corner, though it wasn't one of the unibody MBPs:
It worked flawlessly for a month, then suddenly died. I put it to sleep one day, then 5 minutes later remembered something I had forgotten to do, opened it back up... and nothing. It never worked again. Repairs would have been well over $1,000, and would not have been covered by the warranty or by AppleCare (if I had bought it). I opted to just buy a new Mac instead.
Now, just because that happened to me does not mean that's what will happen to you. However, you do need to prepare yourself for that possibility.
