Wireless Connection Issue Macbook Pro PLEASE HELP!

Hi
I got a brand new macbook pro 13' the other week, i installed everything etc and also my bt home hub 2 showed up in airport and it all worked fine no problem no matter where i was in the house.
Yesterday i tried to get on the Internet on the bottom floor and my router is on the 3rd floor and it won't connect to my Internet, it asked for the access key and then i get timed out message and then a message abut its the wrong key, out of range etc. I then go to the room with the router in or on the same floor and it connects and works fine, but soon as i move downstairs it does'nt work as it did before.
Ive reset the router, changed router channels to all of them, changed it to G, N etc and still no joy, also tried WEP and still no joy
Is this an issue with my mac or my router, my mac and router are n power why is suddenly not reaching the bottom floor when it did no problem before.
Please help

Macbook Pro and BT Homehub4. Looked for help here but did not find it, however, solved the problem by chance as below.
Problem - having recently installed Homehub4 Macbook was persistently refused access to the hub on the grounds that a password was required and the one keyed in was incorrect. An older iMac upstairs was fine - this was the one set up by the engineer when installing. Signal strength was at full.
Solution - found by chance that the Macbook worked ok from another room and concluded that the signal strength was just too high in the original position. By placing a biscuit tin in front of the hub the signal is sufficiently attenuated to work in the original room, and is still good enough to use the upstairs machine too.
So signal is too strong! I call that counterintuitive and I bet no help desk would think of it.
Regards, John.

The Hardware Test detected a RAM problem. Take out the chips and make certain that the connections are clean and reinstall them. Make certain that they are well seated.
If the problem occurs again, test with one chip at a time. Also swap bays if necessary.
Please indicate if you have installed new RAM and if so what brand and the specifications.
Ciao.

Can you WIRELESSLY connect a macbook pro to a monitor to have extra work space on a separate screen from your macbook? (not mirror, extra monitor/workspace)

Can you WIRELESSLY connect a macbook pro to a monitor to have extra work space on a separate screen from your macbook? (not mirror, extra monitor/workspace)
It needs to be wireless.
I am not asking about mirroring, but as a second screen.
Apple tv communties said the Apple tv cannot do this, but maybe another type device can?

My thunderbolt port stopped working on my late 2011 MacBook Pro rendering my external monitor useless--or so I thought.
Mac Genius suggested using the Apple TV via AirPlay Display as a $100 solution. Took me all of 6 minutes to figure this out as there are no directions in the Apple TV box supporting this. But, it does work and I am now back in business.
PS. Don't set up with bluetooth--seems logical but you want to use AirPlay Display under Settings > Displays.
Also, I originally thought my external monitor stopped working because I upgraded the OS. This time, it was definitely a hardware issue and not software. It also fixed a known sound issue my monitor had with Macs. First time in my 15 years I've ever had a ViewSonic have issues with an Apple product, too. Thanfully, it is now fixed.
Hope this helps.

Replacement System Discs can be obtained from Apple's Customer Support - US (800) 767-2775 for a nominal fee. You'll need to have the model and serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html

ISight Issues on Late 2008 MacBook Pro-Please Help

I am having issues where my iSight Camera will work and then not work. This happens in all applications that use the iSight. I have tried resetting the PMU, zapping the PRAM, and creating another user and logging in as that user...all with the same results. I wanted to know if there was some other fix I could try as this is my second replacement MacBook Pro. The first one I got Apple replaced because of manufacturing defects (slanted keyboard and loose battery door) a week after I bought it and now this replacement one which is less the three months old has a bad iSight camera. I really don't want to send it in for repair so if there is another fix I can try, please let me know. I am getting really frustrated with Apple's lack of quality these days.

Final relevant suggestion from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
"If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service."

Connection timeout error keeps on occurring on my new Macbook Pro, please help?

I recently bought my Macbook Pro and the software version is OS X 10.8.2. I keep on having "Connection time out error" and I can't use the internet, while my old laptop and iPhone can use it without a problem. This keeps on occurring and I am new to this software, I have searched the internet but the solutions did not solve the problem. I restarted my macbook and still the same thing. I have tried the "Diagnostics" and "Assistant" in network preference but it would keep on rejecting the Wi-Fi's password even though it is correct. I'm trying so hard not to dislike my new laptop and Apple products, I pretty much trust them but this continuous problem is letting me down .

Yes the internal drive can be removed and a IDE/SATA to USB adapter used, provided the drive still works mechanially.
If the files are erased, it might be possible to recover using Data Rescue

I'm not sure about the iPhone, I think you need to have the same named user account on the new machine + be authorized/logged into your itunes account. but double check that over in the iPhone forum.

Slow Macbook Pro- please help, I don't understand previous advice.

Hello all,
I have a very slow Macbook Pro running on Lion 10.7.3.
I looked up this problem on the forums before I sent this message but I didn't quite understand the advice. I have been on something called Disk Utility and Activity Monitor but don't really understand what I'm looking for. It seems a large percentage of my mac is 'idle' if that makes sense. Someone said to look at Page Out but I really don't understand what that means and what sort of numbers are normal.
I do have some storage left so I don't think it could be that. A lot of my gigabytes seem to be taken up by movies and 'other'. I've tried deleted a load of videos but it hardly made a difference. I have Mac Mail and it seems very slow on my Macbook compared to on my Ipad and iphone. iCal is also very slow on here and it always takes a while to load internet pages. It isnt the wifi connection.
Please help and bear in mind I am by no means a Mac whizz so you might have to talk in layman's terms!
Thanks,
Amy

If you have more than ten or so files or folders on your Desktop, move them, temporarily at least, somewhere else in your home folder.
If iCloud is enabled, disable it.
Disconnect all wired peripherals. Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select the CPU tab.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Step 2
Launch the Console application in the same way as above, and select “kernel.log” from the file list. Post the dozen or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Do not post many repetitions of the same message.

Final Cut Crashes on macbook pro, please help!

Hi!
I just bought Final Cut Studio 3, but Im having some issues. Final Cut Pro 7 crashes at startup, everytime. Motion 4 crashes when I click on "file". Color and DVD studio works okay-ish (I havent tried them out extensively)
Could this be due to my macbook pro 4.1 not being good enough? I have 4 gb ram, 2,4 ghz, and I dont think it has integrated graphics, so it seems to pass all requirements.
Please help me! I paid lots of money for this program, so it would be a shame if I cant get it to work.

Hi Mads,
These are the specs recommended by apple.

Also, do you have any third party filters/effects loaded.

DVI Out Flicker and connection issues- Macbook Pro 2006

No matter which monitors/cable combination I use, my external display flickers at random times. Sometimes, the signal will come back a second or two later, other times it will go out until a reboot.
From my unofficial "tests", this happens more (but not always, and never consistently) when...
* I am doing anything demanding like video or flash
* When I have an expresscard in the slot
Hardware Notes:
* 1st gen Macbook Pro 2.0ghz (ati 256mb)
* 10.6.3 - I don't know if this started happening on a particular release. I think it still happened in 10.5
* DVI to DVI connection. Tried on two monitors with different DVI cables (even the ones from monoprice)
* I use the external monitor as my main device (always have for 4 years
I can't find any threads on this particular issue, maybe someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks for any help!

I'm exactly on the same issue. Have you found a solution ?

Monitor for Macbook Pro, Please help!!!

Hey guys,
I have a middle 2009 Macbook Pro, and want to connect an external monitor as primary monitor. My budget is around 300-400, and hope to find a relatively perfect one in that price range. I'm really care about brightness, and don't like dim/dark ones. I mainly use the monitor to watch movies and play a few games. 27 inch would be perfect....well, if it has to be smaller.
if anyone is familiar with monitor, please help me out.
I'm considering HP 2711X, Samsung P2770 HD.
any suggestions would be appreciated!!

I am surprised no one asked you the following question regarding your response.
What if I don't what 2 displays and I only want to support the external monitor? Can I be in extended mode and have only 1 display?
The reason why I ask is because I am going to buy a dock for my MacBook (2012). The dock forces the MacBook to close thereby rendering the internal display useless.
I think what I am after is some sort of "extended to external" mode.

MacBook Pro - Please help ! College graduation in two weeks !

I've had my macbook pro since ~2010 and have recently started having serious issues with my trackpad.
The cursor moves of it's own accord and randomly clicks and shuffles all my files. I've looked into sysprefs and disabled all but the simple click and 1 finger gesture. I'm using an external mouse and still having those phantom clicks
Does anyone know of any simple solutions?
Yes, comp is old, but I would love it to last at least 2 more weeks until I graduate!!
Thanks in advance!!

Hi rockportkelly,
First of all, congratulations on your upcoming graduation! My MacBook Pro is a 2008 model ... so I completely understand your desire to keep it running smoothly. When you say the phantom clicks are happening even when you use an external mouse, it sounds like there is still something happening when you reach over the trackpad area to type. Try connecting an external keyboard to see if you notice a difference. This is the one I use:
Apple Wireless Keyboard - English - Apple Store (U.S.)
The resources below will provide you with some steps to try to resolve the issues with the trackpad.
Trackpad or Magic Trackpad is jumpy or erratic - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203171
Be sure only one part of your finger is touching the trackpad and that you are not resting your wrist on or very close to the pad. The trackpad may interpret this as your finger touching it and make the cursor move in that direction.
If you're using the Magic Trackpad, be sure the batteries are fully charged.
Moisture collecting on the trackpad can also cause this issue. Wiping off the trackpad with a cloth or tissue usually fixes this. If the issue goes away when a piece of paper is put between the finger and trackpad you may want to consider purchasing a Teflon applique to fit over the pad to prevent the moisture from having direct contact with the trackpad. Before installing the Teflon applique, confirm the trackpad is clean and dry. You can use a mild glass cleaner sprayed onto the cloth (not onto the trackpad itself) to clean the trackpad. Note that oil or lotion can also cause the same issue.
Jewelry may also cause interference. Try removing rings or bracelets and see whether the jumpy or erratic behavior disappears.
Apple has had some reports of this behavior on Mac notebooks being used with power supplies made by a third-party company. If you are using one of these power adapters, unplug it and try running from the Apple battery to see how the trackpad behaves correctly. Also, try using the Apple AC adapter instead of the third-party AC adapter. If the trackpad behaves normally while running from the battery, there is most likely an issue with your adapter or outlet.
If none of the above resolve the issue, try to rule-out software not created by Apple as a cause. To do so, start in Safe Mode.

http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18761
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support

Hopefully one of these troubleshooting steps will resolve the issue you are having.
Happy Holidays!

Bluetooth connection issues - Macbook Pro

My apologies if my question has already been answered, but I have done more searches then I can count and I still cannot locate any answers.
I just purchased a MacBook Pro (running the lastest updates). I have a TREO PRO Smartphone running Windows Mobile 6.1. I can pair the MacBook and TREO via bluetooth. What I can't seem to do is connect the two to use any of the bluetooth functions (send files, browse device) or sync files between the two (I've installed Missing Sync for Windows Mobile to perform the syncing functions). In Missing Sync, the Bluetooth Icon is grayed out (Missing Sync doesn't see the TREO and MacBook connected via bluetooth).
What am I doing wrong?? I feel like I am missing a major step after the pairing process has completed. I deleted and re-paired the devices multiple times - still no bluetooth connections.
I can activate Internet Sharing on the TREO and connect the MacBook and Treo via "connect to network", but then I still can't sync, send files or browse device.
In case you are curious, PALM support said it's a Windows Mobile issue, Microsoft says it's an Apple issue, and the Genius Bar says they can only help with bluetoothing on an iPhone.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
