I have a Linksys WRT160N router that I am using with a MacBook Pro laptop running Snow Leopard. I used my computer (with some difficulty) to set up the wireless access by way of a wired connection. The other Macs in our family connect to the wireless network without a problem, but recently my computer shows that it is connected but cannot access the internet (using Safari). The network locations screen shows three items: automatic, WRT160N, and WRT160N2. My computer will successfully access other wireless networks without difficulty using WRT160N2. Thank you for any help that you are able to suggest.

My Friend ,

Login the router setup page .
And under router security settings uncheck the option (block anonymous internet request).
Set the wireless channel as 6 or 9.
And then use wep security key.
this will surely work.

How to set Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) to run in 64-bit mode

There are two ways to set Mac OS X Snow Leopard to run in 64-bit mode.
The first way is quite simple: you just have to hold down "6" and "4" keys while the system is booting up.
The second way is simple as well. You only have to search for a file named "com.apple.Boot.plist" in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration. Open it with Text Editor and edit line 9: where it reads "<string></string>", change to "<string>arch=x86_64</string>". Without quotes, of course.
Using the second way, Mac OS X Snow Leopard will boot in 64-bit mode whenever you turn on your computer.
PS: 64-bit mode is available just in some machines like MacBook Pro and Mac Pro. To check if your Mac supports 64-bit mode, write the following command in Terminal, again without quotes: "ioreg -l -p IODeviceTree | grep firmware-abi". You will get the answer "firmware-abi" = <"EFI64"> if your system can run in 64-bit mode or "firmware-abi" = <"EFI32"> if not.

Lost install disk for Mac book pro My 13" Mac book

You will need some install disks to even begin working on your issue.
Your options:
  • Find someone with the same model MacBook Pro and borrow the disks.
  • Buy a copy of Leopard (10.5) or Snow Leopard (10.6) and use them. If you are going to buy a set you might as well update to Snow Leopard (10.6)
  • Check eBay for install disks but make sure they are for the same model MacBook Pro.
  • Contact an Apple service center and purchase a replacement set of install disks.
Once you have a install CD, I would recommend backing up your system by making a disk image of the hard drive to an external drive. Then doing a clean install and then using the Migration Assistant to restore your user files to the clean install on your hard drive.

Have been using the Z600 printer for a long time. Just got a new Imac with Snow Leopard. Neither the computer nor the printer want to talk to each other. Anything I can do?

The answer above is ****. I have been using my Lexmark 600 on a MacBook Pro for three years. But since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, it won't run the printer. Haven't found a solution as of yet.

Five computers networked with Linksys WRT320N router. Operating systems: Win 7.0 on 3 computers (two hardwired)(one laptop - wireless), Snow Leopard 10.8 on 1 (wireless), and XP on one (wireless). Also...

Sometimes this problem occures when you install a later model wireless router.
Try installing the latest Wireless card driver on the XP computer and the LAN card drivers on the other computers except the MAC.
