WRT150N Mac Book Nightmare
WRT150N works flawlessly w/PC. With Mac Book it causes AirPort to hang and the only way out is to cold boot. Help.

I bought a brand new Mac Book Pro at 16 Jan 2010. Use it for 6 days then cannot open with the blank screen. Then take it to care centre for 7 working days. Then used 5 days the same problem happen again! The care centre help to replace the mother board and the monitor this time for 6 working days. Pick it up during HK long holidays,then try to charge the battery, but it didn't work! so I went to the care centre again today and they said will spend me 5 days for fix this problem. what a nightmare with it! During that repair period, I lots some client because I didn't had the computer to use. 'So bad to me!'

I suggest you call Apple, ask to speak to Customer Relations and explain your story to them, they may give you a case number and agree to a replacement. -
Getting my wrt150n to work with my apple mac book pro
Hey guys,
I went round and round with everyone on this. I read the forums, called support, went to apple, and *finally* figured out a semi easy solution. This will fix dropped connections when waking from sleep and allow you to run your router in mixed mode (and significantly improve range and speed).
1.) Clone your desktop's mac address.
Open a browser and go to 198.168.1.1. There is an option under the wireless tab for it.
2.) Switch to WEP 10-hex security (if you are using security at all).
Enter a 10 digit number in the key1.
3.) Go to your mac book and open up the network preferences in your system preferences control panel.
a.) First clear out all your locations..especially ones associated with all the mess-up associated with trying to get your new wireless to work. Do this by selecting the Location drop-down menu and select Edit locations.
b.) Next Click on Airport from the network status screen (you should be on it) and click Configure... at the bottom. At the next screen, click options. For, If no recent networks are found, select: Keep looking for recent networks. Click OK. Now you shouldn't drop connections after a few minutes of inactivity!
c.) You should be back at the airport screen, at the bottom there is an Assist Me... button. Click it then the Assistant... bfind your networkutton afterwards, name your new location, click that you use Airport, find your wireless network and enter your 10-digit key.
You should be set!
VOne more thing....I changed the wireless settings to wide band only....that seemed to increase the speed and range.

How can i clean up my mac book pro easily
tell me an easy way to clean up my mac book pro
I can't tell you how to because I don't know. What I do know is to NOT use MacKeeper or other free online "solutions!" They can be a nightmare to get rid of.

Late 2008 Mac Book Pro with Thunderbolt display: Compatibility
I have a Mac Book Pro Late 2008 (15inch) and want to buy a 27inch thunderbolt display, because in the future I will buy a mac book air (thunderbolt)...
but for now:
1: Can I use my late 2008 MacPro with thunderbolt?
1a:If yes, which functions work, which not...
1b:If yes, how to connect? I do not have any cables so far
1c:If yes, will my resolution increase on the 27inch or will I have the resolution of the mac book? What about the future Mac Book Air? Which resolution will be?
2: If I cannot use it, is there any exchange program from Apple for old Macs against new ones? (Like for cars they have)I have a Late 2011 MacBookPro that I bought with the stock 5400 RPM HD. Before I did anything with it, I replaced it with a Momentus XT drive. In my Late 2007 MBP, I have used the original 160GB 5400 RPM drive for a few months before replacing it with a 7200 RPM (non XT) drive, and the difference was noticable, but not huge. For me, the move from 7200 RPM to 7200RPM-Hybrid was noticable, but not huge. I would say that you won't be disappointed by goign to a hybrid drive (as long as you get the 750GB version as some of the 500GB ones had firmware issues that caused nightmares for some Mac users.
Now that I look more closely, you will probably see a fairly huge jump, as your existing drive is only negotatiating a SATA-I link, where the Momentus XT is a SATA-III drive, so it will be able to negotiate a SATA-II link to get the best performance of your controller. -

Mini dvi to vga adapter doesn't fit Mac Book port
I bought a "mini dvi to vga" adapter at the local Apple store at the mall and it does not fit the mini DVI connection on my Mac Book. What is the correct mini dvi configuration or part number for the Mac Book Mini dvi port?
It may be. I threw the bag out so I can't check. I was in a hurry and thought I picked up the right adapter but guess not.
Thanks for your help. Know anyone that needs a mini vga to vga adapter? -
Basically, my iphone has been in the same apple ID as my dads iphone and mac book, so my iphone has always been synced to his macbook. I bought myself a mac book the other day and want to sync my iphone to it. However i have obviously put my mac book in a different apple id as i know pay for things i download myself, how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it? ive now put my iphone into my new apple id thinking this might help? ive also tried clicking 'manually manage music and video' but this doesnt seem to work, it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
HELPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
You cannot. Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content. -

Using multiple desktops with a 4 finger swipe on a Mac Book Pro running Lion- is there a way that I can allow Safari open on several but not all?? Looks like I can set it for one but not others. All, one, or nothing
Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated. -

I have a new mac book pro which i use in england but I need to use German charachters frequently, is there a way of having both visable on the keyboard?
For example so that I can just press shift or another key to get the German character.Some may already exist, but you will have to learn them. On my old system these can be found through keyviewer.app For example, if I press option+s I get ß Umlaut is a bit cumbersome as option+u then the actual letter. It may be possible to bind a key to do this function, possibly through System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts
I have old, old references for utilities that let you rebind keys to other functions, and you would have to see if they have modern equivalents.
Ukelele Mac OS X Keyboard Layout Editor - http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=ukelele - mostly useful for character, not function mapping.

Mac Book Pro constantly displays spinning wheel of death HELP!!!
My Mac Book Pro (after installing Mavericks) displays the spinning wheel of death multiple times per day. I thought it was my Google Chrome, but now it has been happening no matter what application I am using. I used Etrecheck to see what is going on with my computer, but I don't actually know what the output means. I've copied the information below.
More information: I no longer have a Blackberry, but I don't know how to remove any software that may still be on my computer (since I see Blackberry listed under Kernel Extensions). I also backed up my harddrive on the 28th, just to be safe.
I would greatly appreciate any and all help with this. I'm in the process of trying to study for mulitple teacher certification exams, so this is the worst possible time for tmy computer to suddenly go haywire. Thank you so much to anyone who takes the time to help!

yes, it could be due to nearly anything listed in your kernel extensions, startup items, launch daemons, launch agents, or user items above. Please check all of your installed third-party software to make sure that the versions which are installed on your MacBook Pro are compatible with Mavericks; uninstall every software package which isn’t Mavericks-compatible. After you’ve done that, boot into Safe mode, and see if you still get the beach ball of doom there. If it doesn’t appear there, restart normally and see if it appears then. -
HT201456 I have tried to install Windows 8.1 64 on my new Mac Book Pro from a full install disc.
I have tried to install Windows 8.1 64 on my new Mac Book Pro from a full install disc. When I get the the choice of partitions to install Windows 8.1 on the Windows installer says that the Bootcamp partition is not valid.
Has anyone encountered the same issue?BCA creates the partition as FAT, which the installer needs to format.
Please see https://help.apple.com/bootcamp/mac/5.0/help/#/bcmp173b3bf2 for reference. Where does it break in your case? -
It is safe to say that i need help..................
let me start at the beginning.
I have 1 2008 imac. always a pleasure never been a problem. Attached to it i have an iomega 500gb ext drive. also been ok.
until now!!
The HDD would not mount. Disk utility suggested that it was ok so i tested the imac HD. I got error code 4MOT/2/40000004: HDD- 1502. This doesnt worry me at the moment.
I attached iomega to my Mac book pro and again it would not mount. The disk utility did tell me that the iomega needed repair. it advised that i should wipe it and restore.
So I used the MB Pro disk utility to create a DMG. and saved it to the desk top. I then erased the iomega. did a repair and it all seemed ok. So then i try to do a restore.
After a very long time it said internal error with the dmg. using disk utility i did a convert dmg (compressed) and saved it to the iomega. middle of the night job!!
got up this morning and indeed it had sent the DMG to the iomega. But i could not open it. The iomega itself seemed dandy asking me if i wanted to use it as a time machine etc and it mounted ok and i saved a small jpeg to the iomega as well. I then thought that maybe when i did the convert as a compressed file i made a mistake. i'm guessing it should be a read and write so i started all over again.......... wiped iomega (which was quite quick) then tried the convert tool again.....it trys for a while then says there is not enough disk space...........I'm not sure which disk it is refering to.??
I have purchased a 1tb hard drive today incase the iomega is some how full up.
So really my question to the world is .........Help?well no reply from the community. sniff- do i stink!? - probably a little bit. If i have lost all that data then I'm gonna really really pong.
Any ways i have purchased a 1tb usb HDD and have managed to duplicate the dmg file onto it. however still unable to mount the **** thing. so now i have ordered disk warrior which will be in my possession tomorrow.
fingers toes eyes crossed.
