Yosemite macbook will not get on wifi
I have a 2011 MacBook that is running Yosemite that will not get on wifi. I have over 100 MacBooks, 2007 to 2014 that are running on my school's network, but I have one teacher computer that just recently quit accessing the wireless. I have tried zapping the PRAM, I have gone into the Keychain Access and removed passwords, I have opened in Safemode, I have turned wifi off and then back on, and I have tried a few other things that I can't remember. The curious part is that it will let me on other networks, it appears to be the school network that I am denied. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Reset the printing system on the Mac. You will then need to re-add your printer.

Macbook will not get wifi signal when docked into hedge dock station
My Macbook will not get a wifi signal, whenever docked into the Hedge Dock Station. It will however, get the signal when out of the station. It worked for months before.
Wi-Fi is not Bluetooth. If you are using the phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot, then you connect to it using Wi-Fi, not Bluetooth. There's no Bluetooth pairing involved.
Turn on the Wi-Fi hotspot feature on your phone.
On the Mac, open System Preferences and click on the Network icon.
Select "Airport" in the left pane and then click the "Turn AirPort On" button.
Select the name of your phone in the drop-down next to "Network Name".
Provide the password you setup for the network on your phone.
It's nice to have the ability to turn the Wi-Fi on and off in the menu bar rather than have to open System Preferences each time. You can click the checkbox next to "Show AirPort status in menu bar" in the Network pane to do just that. -
Macbook will not connect to wifi, an environmental issue with wifi?
Macbook running OSX 10.85 will not connect to wifi, Apple support thinks it could be an environmental issue. Am connected to wifi right now in recovery mode. Has this happened to anyone else? What did you do to correct the issue? Also, 2 iPhones and an iPad connect without issues.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take all the applicable steps in this support article. If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 2
Run Software Update and install all available updates for OS X or your computer's firmware.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it. Note: this is not applicable to OS X 10.9 or later.
Step 4
This step will erase all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 6
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

Macbook will not connect to Wifi unless in same room with router
My daughters 5 year old Macbook will not connect to the internet unless she is in the same room as the router. The internet works perfectly for all the other computers in the house. Has anyone had this issue?
There may be some source of wireless interference. It could be radio interfernce or physical interfernce. You can try changing the radio channel on the network.
Otherwise, the issue would relate to the MacBook computer. Follow HT4628 for some troubleshooting. -
MacBook will not connect to wifi connections.
I have a 2011 MacBook Pro that suddenly stopped connecting to any sort of wifi. Even on windows side, wifi is t working. No setting have been changed. No updates have recently occurred. I feel there is a hardware issue with the network card.
I have tried to connect to home wifi, mobile hotspot, as well as a friends wifi.
I am able to connect to Internet via Bluetooth network sharing only.
I receive a "Network timeout" message.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!Run a #3 Hardware Check
Reset #1 SMC and #2 PRAM

Macbook Pro 10.6+ will not connect to wifi network
Having a strange issue with one particular Macbook Pro not being able to connect to the internal wifi. There are 5 machines, mix of Windows and OS X, none have this issue. We have a wireless network coming from a SonicWall router with wireless capability. This particular Macbook will not connect to the wifi. Just an "!" symbol around the wifi. It has no issues connecting to any other wifi in the area, even to a second on within the same floor.
What are steps to troubleshoot? I am an advanced Windows user and would check ipconfigs, flushdns, among plethora of other things. I am not so sure about what to do in OS X (10.6 or 10.7, not sure).
Any guidance would be appreciated.I can assure you it is not the router. I am pretty good with Windows and Networking, particularly these model routers. This is an issue on the laptop. I feel as if it keeps remembering old credentials to this wifi network (when user kept typing the wrong password). Once I changed the WiFi password, it no longer even asks me to update the WiFi password when attempting to connect. I have to manually try to connect to it by inputting SSID and password and still does not accept.

My macbook pro will not get past the gray screen with the apple logo and a loading bar.
My macbook pro will not get past the grey screen with the apple logo after attempting to load for hours. I have already tried resetting the NVRAM/PRAM and a couple other tricks and no luck. Anyone out there have suggestions for my problem? Help would be much appreciated since i use my computer for everything at school and i am in desperate need to get this baby working again.
You didn't say which OS in your tag, but maybe you might find something here.

I am running Yosemite and have just bought Pro Tools Express with the intent to Upgrade to Pro Tools 11. Pro Tools Express is not compatible with Yosemite and will not install. How can I get this done?
I have had this problem for close to a year. I have an Extreme base station, two Airport Express's and multiple G4 Mac's with up to date software. I have spent a huge amount of time trouble shooting, resetting, reapplying software and finally calling Applecare without any help. It would be great to get this problem solved.

The WiFi button is gray and will not turn on WiFi. When I push the Bluetooth on button, all I get is the spinning gear. It does not go on. What is the problem? Is there a fix?
After trying resets and a full restore, I went to Apple Store. Genius kept me waiting 1/2 hour beyond app'tment time, then had to go through all sorts of tests before concluding the problem was what you said. They replaced the phone. Thanks.

My macbook will not start up. It gets stuck on teh opening page with the apple. It was working fine and all of a sudden i cant get it to work. Does anyone know what could be wrong with it? Or, is there a bypass to the start up page?
You won't lose your files unless something goes very wrong -- which may already have happened. You absolutely must have a backup before you do anything else. If you don't already have one, boot from your installation disc and follow the instructions in this article under "Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility":
Mac OS X v10.5, v10.6: How to back up and restore your files -
My MacBook will not boot up all I get is a white screen with the light on the front of the mac blinking and a beeping.

I just bought a used macbook pro, turned it on and it will not pick up wifi connection n my house that my old lap top has done very fast and easy wifi connection. What do i have to do to log on to internet with wifi with my macbook pro?
That could be the reason they were selling the old macBook Pro. Does the network utility even see any WIFI networks? If it doesn't, and you know they exist, something with the WIFI might have failed. Can you connect using the wired ethernet port?
You might have to take it to an Apple store or an AASP for a checkup. -

MacBook will not turn completely on. I get Apple fiqure and then the wheel just spins.
Reinstall OS X. Either use your installer DVD or do a network restore if you are using Lion or Mountain Lion.

Hi can anyone help me, my daughters macbook will not pick up the wireless signal in her bedroom when me and my wifes iphone picks it up easy. any ideas to help please.Andy
P.S i;ve heard a comment about the G5 case not being
great for wireless so the cards come with a plastic
antena that connects to the back of the machine - i
never recieved one of these - could that be the
problem?
Newer G5 PowerMacs don't require the external t-shaped aerial, earlier models do and that is probably the cause of the problem.

My macbook will not stay on without being plugged in. I had my macbook for about 3 years and the battery had less than 200 cycles on it and the computer suddenly would not stay on unless plugged in (went from holding about 1.5 hr charge to not holding charge at all). I purchased a new battery and this battery has 118 cycles on it. It is doing the same thing. When I unplug it the computer shuts off immediately. It will not stay in sleep mode either. What should I do? I assumed that it was because I tend to leave the computer plugged in so that the cycles stay low, but after only 118 cycles? (and the new battery is less than 8 months old). Could my computer be failing to register the battery? Please help me - I don't want to have to spend another $80 on a battery. (Just so you know, I have removed the battery and made sure the connection is good but this did not help.)
If your problems with the new battery are the same as the old battery, it would seem your Mac isn't charging the battery properly.
Perhaps it's a Magsafe/charger issue.
Read through the power section of this User tip here, try everyting, including the SMU Reset and see if that makes any difference.

We can't do too much more than that as it seems to be a hardware issue and we can't fix that too much.
