Wireless macbook pro

is there another way to connect a macbook wirelessly besides airport?

Your description "lynksys n router" indicates that it is an 802.11n wireless router.
...and how would i switch the computer?
Sorry but I don't understand that question. Switch it to what?

If a network is going to include a wireless MacBook Pro and hardwired PC..

..does the setup utility need to be run on both of the computers? My Mac works fine, but the PC, while online, doesn't recognise my USB printer or the network by it's name.

"If a network is going to include a wireless MacBook Pro and hardwired PC, does the setup utility need to be run on both of the computers? My Mac works fine, but the PC, while online, doesn't recognise my USB printer or the network by it's name."
I just finished setting up the same configuration. It took me two days, but I was finally successful. I DID run the setup utility on both computers.
For comparison, here is my arrangement: I have a dsl modem (dynamic IPs) that was connected to the pc (Windows XP with SP2), and is now connected to the base station wan port.
Before I set up the airport extreme, the printer was connected directly to the pc via a usb cable, and working fine. Now the printer is connected to the base station, and the pc is connected to the base station via ethernet. I am able to print from both the pc, and wirelessly from the mac.
Here are some ideas:
(1) In AirPort Utility, I used manual set up instead of the assistant. I tried initially to set up the base station from the pc, but finally gave up and used the mac to set up the base station. That went fine.
(2) I set the base up as a bridge.
(3) I did not use any of the pc set-up wizards (they did not seem to help).
(4) AirPort Utility allowed the pc to see the network.
(5) I used Bonjour to help the pc find the printer.
I went down many dead ends with the pc before I got the set up to work. If you tell me more, I may have more ideas.

One more thing: I have a related question. We have protective software on the pc, but I've never used it on the mac. Will bad "stuff" now be able to get from the internet to the mac to the pc, or will the pc still be protected? I'm new to all this.

No longer able to print from wireless MacBook Pro to wired C7280

I originally piggy-backed this onto an existing thread thinking that it was the same issue. It looks like it was something else now, so I figured I probably ought to spin this off onto its own thread.
Details:
Printer: Photosmart C7280 All-in-One, connected to network via Ethernet, IP address 192.168.1.5 (confirmed with Network Menu > View Network Settings > Display Wired Summary)
Router: Verizon/Actiontec MI424-WR (Verizon FiOS) with
* Ethernet ports
* 802.11b and 11g with WPA encryption
Desktop: iMac with Mac OS 10.5.8, Ethernet connection. I originally installed the HP software from the CD when we got the 7280 a few years ago, but we've probably upgraded it since then.
My Laptop: MacBook Pro with Mac OS 10.5.8, wireless connection. I think the HP software was originally downloaded from hp.com (as opposed to the original CD).
Wife's Laptop: MacBook with Mac OS 10.6.3, wireless connection. HP software downloaded from hp.com.
We've been able to print from the laptops to the 7280 until several days ago. After that, anything sent from the laptops stayed on the printer queue without any reaction from the printer, even after the usual tricks (cycling power on printers, holding and unholding jobs, pausing and unpausing printers, etc.)
Our laptops seem to lose the wireless connection a bit more frequently than normal, and at first I thought that was the problem. Lately, however, I can't get anything to print even when the wireless connection stays solid. I can print from the iMac, though.
As noted above, my wife's MacBook has 10.6.3, so I'll try the instructions on other threads for uninstalling the HP software and using the built-in 10.6 drivers. If I can pry the MacBook away from my wife long enough :-)
Meanwhile, I've been trying to troubleshoot my own MacBook Pro. I can ping 192.168.1.5, and I can pull up the printer's web page by entering "192.168.1.5" in my web browser.
So I followed the instructions here:

(title: Mac OS X: Print Jobs are Stuck in the Print Queue and Will Not Print on a Networked Product)
I followed Solution 1 (Delete and readd printer) until I got to steps 7 and 8. The printer wasn't automatically added to the Printers list, so I clicked the Add button, but wasn't able to select my printer from the list. Some of the information in Solution 2 seemed to hint that I had a connectivity problem, and suggested that I look for network connectivity solutions. Unfortunately, all of the network connectivity FAQs referred to Windows-specific utilities, so I decided to uninstall the HP software (using HP Uninstaller). I downloaded HP_Installer_PSC7200_v9.7.1.dmg from hp.com and ran it, but here's what happened:
At the Select Device step, no devices appeared even though the printer was powered up and on the network. (As noted earlier, I can ping it.) I checked "My device is not listed" and clicked Continue; when "Photosmart C7200 series" appeared, I selected it.
At the "Select the Device Connection" subset, I selected "Network." (The "device" in this question is the printer--right?)
I went through the Install step.
No device was listed at the Setup step. I handled this the same way as the Select Device step ("My device is not listed", Continue, click "Photosmart C7200 series", Continue, select "Network", Continue.
This time, I got this dialog: "If your device is not listed, it is not supported by this installer. Please visit www.hp.com/support to download an installer, if one is available" even though this was the correct installer for C7200 and Mac 10.5.
Am I overlooking something? What should I try next?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

It appears that the printer is OK and is on the network. Eventually you may want to set a static IP address for it, but let's get things working first.
The first thing I would try would be to reset the printing system on all the problem Macs:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click the print queue area and select Reset Printing System.
- Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
If this does not do it there may be something going on with the router. I have a few ideas if this is required. Let me know.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

Wireless MacBook Pro to wired C7280: Deleted offline printer queue, can't add printer again

I posted about a year and a half ago about connectivity problems with our C7280 all-in-one, and PrintDoc gave me some great suggestions to get me back on line again--thanks again!
I've had problems off-and-on again, but I've been able to get back again until now, and I can't get the usual tricks to work.
Here's our set-up:
Printer: Photosmart C7280 All-in-One, connected to network via Ethernet, static IP address 192.168.1.200 (confirmed via printer's display as well as the printer's web page)
Router: Verizon/Actiontec MI424-WR (Verizon FiOS) with
* Ethernet ports
* 802.11b and 11g with WPA encryption
My Laptop: MacBook Pro, Mac OS 10.6.8, wireless connection
Every now and then, the printer goes off-line. (Our cordless phones and our WiFi occasionally hit the same channels, and our printer hiccups seem to happen after WiFi hiccups. My theory is that a WiFi hiccup somehow screws up the print queues, possibly if it happens in the middle of a print job. Haven't been able to prove it, though.) I'm usually able to fix it by cycling power on the printer and/or resetting the print system (by right-clicking the list of printers in the Print & Fax window).
That's not working this time. I reset the print system, but when I try to add a printer, I don't see my printer in the Add Printer dialog.
I've tried various combinations of:
Cycling power on the printer (sometimes by cycling the power button off and on, sometimes by unplugging the power cord while powered on, and sometimes by unplugging the power cord while powered off)
Resetting the print system again (sometimes by itself, sometimes followed by log off/on, sometimes followed by reboot)
Powering down the Mac, then the printer, then the router, then powering them back up in reverse order.
But I still can't see my printer in the Add Printer dialog.
Somewhere along the way, I tried following the Mac OS 10.6-10.7 instructions from here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02205477&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3204785#N86...
...but Solution 1 assumes that the printer queue is still there; unfortunately, I'd already reset the print system by then.
Since I'm using OS 10.6 which already has the printer drivers built in, I'm assuming that I can't uninstall and reinstall the printer drivers as in older versions of Mac OS X. (Er, right?)
The long-term solution (if my theory is right) is to get cordless phones that don't use the WiFi frequencies :-) In the meantime, are there any tricks I'm missing?

Today I tried to "add printer" again...and lo and behold, there it was!
I wish I could tell you what fixed the problem, but I haven't got a clue.

Is it advisable to download platform updates over wireless macbook pro ret?

Will be downloading update on my brand new....(but, made in mid 2012)....MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display with 10.8.2 version Mountain Lion.
Will be only downloading up to 10.8.5....as the new Maverick is conflicting currently with the new ProTools 11 ,which I need to upload from a DVD...after updating the MacBook Pro..platform. (That's the very reason I had to seek out a store with existing MacBooks still available for purchase...because I can't wait for Avid to catch up..I'm finishing a music project partially at home.)
Read somehwhere here that downloading with a WIRELESS CONNECTION will potentially have its problems. Input on this situation is appreciated at your earliest convenience. And if most of you feel there will be downloading conflicts with "wireless", then do you maybe suggest I hook up to DSL ethernet temorarily for the download and then simply go back to wireless connection ?
Also...don't want to cough up $300.00 for Apple's "Time Machine"...external hard drive to back up my system before downloading 10.8.5, WHAT TRUSTED ALTERNATIVE TO THE "Time Machine" they sell is liked and doable for this system backup before updating ?
Thanks...

Everything I own at home connects wirelessly - MBP, Windows desktop, printers, scanners, TV, etc, etc. I have no ethernet wired devices at all. I have a good quality simultaneous dual band 802.11b/g/n wifi router that has yet to give me problems (Netgear WNDR4500 connected to an AT&T Uverse fibre gateway).
I backup over wifi, I update over wifi - I do everything over wifi and have not had any issues updating over wifi from OS X 10.4->10.5->10.6->10.7->10.8->10.9 (with various machines too, mainly a Powerbook G4 and a late-2008 unibody MBP). So I would say not to worry. Depends on just how reliable your network has been for you of course.
As to your last part, I use a WD MyBook 1TB USB2 drive for my Time Machine backup (it is done wirelessly as the MyBook hangs off the Netgear router). I also use a SeaGate firewire 800 bus-powered drive and a WD passbook USB2 bus-powered portable hard drive for bootable clones. You can use any hard drive you like for a TM backup or clone.

5ghz wireless macbook pro

hi i have a early macbook pro with the apple airport extreme base.
i know that i run the dual band wireless network but every time i have a look to see which band it is connected to its always on the 2.4ghz.
is this normal ? i am not too far away from the router .
from what i know i thought 5ghz is faster do i have to configure manually so it stay on it all the time ?
thanks

The dual band are just that - no one is faster than the other, just at different frequencies. Unless you're experiencing wifi problems, there's nothing gained by fiddling with frequencies, channels, etc.

Beat Wireless & Macbook Pro Connecting Problems

I've recently bought Beats Wireless, and when I first connected it with my Macbook Pro, it worked just fine. I disconnected it for a little while, and tried to reconnect it later. But as I paired them together, a window popped up stating "The encoded audio stream configuration was unacceptable to the remote device. Any suggestions as to what I should do?

Dual Band: 2.4GHz and 5GHz at the same time:
Your MBP can connect to both.
If the Bands each have a different Name, you can choose by hand, if not it connects to the strongest signal.
Click the wireless icon and you see the name of the network you are connected to, If you see the other band name you can choose that.
Click the wireless icon in the menubar while hoding the Alt(option) key: it gives the specififcs of the band you are connected to.

Bluetooth breaks Wireless MacBook Pro

Hi All,
I have Arch running very very well on my MacBook Pro and have had no real issues. I installed the b43 firmware from the AUR and the WiFI has been working great, I however bought a bluetooth mouse to make working on the laptop easier. I installed both bluez and bluez-utils using pacman. I then issued the following commands:
sudo systemctl start bluetooth
sudo systemctl enable bluetooth
I connect the bluetooth mouse inside gnome and all was working well until i tried to use the web browser my WiFi card shows as still being connected however the connection is dead.

That might be true, but the wiki also has good information to start troubleshooting. Your first posts clearly indicate that you aren't capable of providing meaningful information, whereas the wiki actually shows you how to provide meaningful information. The wiki also points in so many different directions to help with troubleshooting, combine that with some googling and you might actually start understanding the issue. Simultaneously you can keep coming back to this thread to update it with new information which potentially gives your issue more visibility. People here are usually also more helpful if you provide meaningful information instead of having them constantly asking you for needed information. So start by reading the wiki.

Photosmart B210 not working wirelessly (MacBook Pro and iPad)

I have already seen my symptoms on the forum here, but the problem is never resolved before the original poster abandons the thread.
I have an HP Photosmart Plus B210 printer. It worked just fine until I moved a month ago. I found the power cord today and hooked it up, and it no longer communicates properly with my devices. It does communicate-- just not properly.
So a few things first...
-It IS on my network. I was able to access its URL page from the IP address, and print its Printer Status Report.
-My Wireless Network Test Report passed every category, and has excellent signal quality.
-I have already reset my printer (System Preferences --> Print & Scan --> Rest Printing System) and successfully readded it as my default printer. My computer recognized right away that the printer was in its proximity.
-Everything appears normal until I actually tell it to print or scan, then my computer gets confused.
---Prior to resetting my printer, it the print progress would reach 11%, then it would stop and say it could not connect. Now it just says "Word cannot connect to your printer."
There are no updates that came out since January 2012, and it worked fine until I moved a month ago. Other people with this problem have reinstalled the driver with no success.
From the iPad, the iPad just cannot find the printer.
The bottom line is that the printer is on the network just fine, my Apple devices are on the network just fine, but the printer won't communicate to the devices other than to let them know that it is there.

After some more digging, found an HP site that was different from their first one I found: http://www.hp.com/global/us/en/wireless/faq.html#01
Got everything to work, except Word still can't figure things out. Hopefully a restart fixes that too.

MacBook Pro with Graphite is very very slow

Just replaced a powerbook G4 with a macBook Pro..
transition was fine HOWEVER:
web browsing with both Safari and firefox is very funky.
50% of all sites load half way and then stop for literally many minutes.
If I connect directly (bypass graphite airport by hooking ethernet to macBook Pro) browsing zooms.
Is the MacBook Pro airport card incompatable with first-generation airport base stations?
(note: at the same time the macbook is not working, my other G4 powerbook is zooming on the same wireless)
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Took care of it by buying a new Airport Extreme base station.
The new Intel MacBook Pro was apparently incompatible with the old 811.b wireless network.

Moving files from old emac to new MacBook Pro

Tomorrow we are supposed to receive our new 15" MacBook Pro w 4gb ram and 320 gb hard drive loaded with iWork. I have an older eMac 720 mh with files stored on it and to Lacie firewire external drives. Someone told me it was easy to move all files (or those I want to move) onto the new wireless MacBook Pro. Does the new computer offer this when you are setting it up or is there software to do this? Do I have to hook them together hardwired or simple connect the new laptop wirelessly to my home network (through my Belkin wireless router). I have an older hpDeskjet 5550 printer connected to my eMac, can I reasonably expect to be able to print through it using the wireless router and home LAN network? Networks and routers are a mistery to me but somehow have managed to install both. My Belkin N+ wireless router has a USB port on the back to facilitate network file storage and sharing has anyone tried this sucessfully?

If your files are backed up to an external drive then connect the drive to the new computer and transfer your files. Here's the basics of what you can transfer:
Folders You Can Move to Your new Mac
From the Home folder copy the contents of Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist

No wireless access with Windows XP Pro (SP2) on Macbook Pro

Hello,
Just installed Windows XP Pro (SP2) on my new Macbook Pro using Bootcamp Beta. The installation has gone fine with the exception of wireless access to the internet through my Airport home network.
I've tried all the other configuraton wizards on XP...no joy.
The three other macs in the house (2 wireless, 1 ethernet) and one Windows laptop (wireless) are all fine and dandy.
Any suggestions on what to do?
Thanks

Right Click on My Computer
Select Manage
Click on Device Manager
Make sure that your Ethernet Adapters are working properly
If there is an red X or a yellow ! next to any ethernet adapter then try to reinstall the drivers.
(you can reinstall the drivers via the installation cd or double click on the hardware device under device manager. there should be a reinstall drivers button in there. point it to the CD that you burned from bootcamp)
(there will be a couple of devices that are not working properly.)

New MacBook Pro 13 i5 Wireless Issues.

I got the new MacBook Pro i5 2.3 the day it came out. So maybe a week and half ago.
I`m having intermittent wireless issues. I have done some testing and even replaced my older AirPort Base Station with the new Dual-Band one, but still seeing a drops from the network. I have a ping going to my router and to the ABSE. I tried changing the channel and using 5GHZ or 2.4GHZ. I also have a AirPort express and seen similar results. I tried reseting the PRAM, repairing permission, I did not reinstall the OS but I dont see how this would help. I think there is a hardware issue with the wireless card/antenna.
I did upgrade RAM and HDD was changed to SSD (intel G2 SSD). There are no other issues, machine is fast, no lock ups. Other devices on the network do not seem to drop any connections (ATV, ATV2, iPhone4, iPad etc..)
The network drop outs are short but are noticeable and if a ping is going I can see the drops
*-- 192.168.1.1 ping statistics ---*
*1527 packets transmitted, 1505 packets received, 1.4% packet loss*
*round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.779/12.203/396.084/42.274 ms*
Any help is appreciated as I`m really frustrated but this issue.

I am connected to a time capsule both wirelessly and through ethernet...and state of the time capsule is solid green...the internet however doesn't work...The internet works fine when directly connected to my macbook pro but it won't work through the tc

I have deleted time machine preferences...restarted the modem a bunch of times, restored time capsule to it's original settings...after I first set it up in Airport Ulitity its shows a page quickly that states there is a internet problem, but the page quickly goes away before I can read what it says exaclty and states the internet connection problem is resolved...
However it's not resolved, I'm also having trouble doing a back up to my time capsule...I recently purchased a new macbook and retrieved/restore what was on the time capsule to the new computer...that worked fine...wireless worked fine...however when I tried to back up the new macbook...it would faii stating that there isn't enough room on the TC to do a back up...
I didn't end up keeping the new macbook, I was just using it/trying it out while my current macbook pro was being repaired (logic board)
Ever since I got my current macbook back from repair...my backups have failed due to their not being enough space to perform the back up...in the past the back ups would happen and old back ups would be replaced...
I think this has to do with my current computer having a new name after the repair..."Adam's macbook pro 2" vs "Adam's macbook pro"
The internet was working fine wirelessly through the TC a day ago, but it wasn't allowing my other laptop that was connected via ethernet access to the internet...I had a self assigned IP address error then...I don't have that problem now, but it's not transmitting internet at all...even though it's in a solid green state.
I have no problem completely wiping out my TC including the previous back ups on it...just don't know how to go about it...I have restored it to factory settings a bunch of times and created the network from scratch...just hasn't fixed the issue
Is there more prefences files I should delete

If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

Is there a way to upgrade a mid 2009 13" Macbook Pro so that it can use a wireless n network?

I have a mid 2009 13" macbook pro, and I live in a share house. The router we are using is very far away from my room and I do not get very good signal strength. However, my phone and ipad, which are newer, and have wireless n capability, are able to get quite good speeds on this network. I think my problem is that my computer only has a wireless a/b/g airport card. I know that it is meant to be compatible with the draft IEEE 802.11n specification but I don't think it is connecting to the network as a wireless n device.
Is there a way for me to upgrade this card? I have seen a number of cards on ebay etc but I cannot find one that matches my needs. Alternatively, is there a way to make my computer join the network as a wireless n device?

I am not sure swapping a wireless card is an easy exercise.. I would not recommend it.
You can hunt up a USB wireless stick that is Mac compatible..
Or you can buy an Apple Express and use it as a wireless bridge. There are plenty of alternative wireless bridges.. you just plug them in by ethernet and use wireless.. depending on the brand of wireless router you have.
