Have to manually turn on airport every time I open my macbook

Every time I open my MacBook I have to go in a manually turn airport on. Once it's on, it connects with no problems. It started this fun new game yesterday and I can't figure out how to fix it. Does anyone have any advice? It will be much appreciated!!

Hi, have you checked in your preferences to make sure airport turns on automatically at startup?
Having just got my mum one I've been having a close look at how it works and I found the same problem. You should be able to set it in preferences to come on automatically , either system prefs or airport prefs. Can't remember off the top of my head.
Hope this helps.

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access 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.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
              Change Settings for Keychain "login"
    In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
              Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked
              Keep login keychain unlocked
    is not checked, check it.
    Select
              Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • HT201493 Do I have to enter my apple ID every time I open Find My Friends? Annoying

    Do I have to enter my apple ID every time I open Find My Friends? Annoying

    Are you talking the app store on the iPhone?
    If you are, it has to do with control of getting the updates and control of downloading new software.  Sometimes there will be an update when someone won't want an update.  Requiring the password would give someone better control over what gets installed.  Or if there's new software, it will give a parent, for example, better control over what gets purchased or even just downloaded, in the case of a free app.
    I'm not an Apple employee, but I'm pretty sure Apple doesn't consider it a problem.  They tend to err on the side of caution, especially when money is involved.  Requiring the apple id password every time definitely does that.

    Could you do the following please.
    Click "Start" and then in the search box at the bottom of the menu, type: CMD
    When you get the link, right click it and choose "Run As Administrator".
    At the prompt, type CD\ and hit Enter. This will take you to the root.
    Next, type: net user administrator /active:yes and hit Enter to enable the hidden Administrator account.
    Type: EXIT to close the command prompt. 
    Reboot the machine and you'll see an additional logon option called Administrator. Choose that and then hit Enter to boot to the desktop (the Aministrator account doesn't have a password by default).
    Disable your antivirus to prevent it interfering with the installation. If you have AVAST antivirus, right click the orange icon in systray, go to Avast Shields Control and disable all shields for 1 hour. Otherwise consult this list for instructions on how to disable it: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic114351.html
    Next, download Flash for Internet Explorer from here: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax_64bit.exe
    When you see the prompt, click "Run" to install it immediately.
    After the installation completes, open a command prompt again and type: net user administrator /active:no to disable the Administrator account.
    Reboot the machine and then open Internet Explorer.
    Click "Tools", then "Manage Add-ons".
    In the dropdown menu on the left near the bottom (see screenshot), choose "Run without permission".
    Scroll down to "Adobe Systems Incorporated" and verify that "Shockwave Flash Object" is installed and enabled. If it's present, but disabled, click the "Enable" button bottom left of that menu.
    Finally, re-enable you antivirus and reboot again. Check the "Manage Add-ons" menu to verify that Flash is still present.

  • I moved my iPhoto libraries from one hard drive to another and have to manually locate the photos, every time!!!

    I moved my iPhoto libraries from one hard drive to another and now every time I open a library I have to manually locate the photos. After locating the first file, it works well and remembers the location of the files of all the events, even when the folders containing the actual photos are in several different locations.
    The problem is that when I close and open iPhoto, it does not remember where the files were and I have to locate at least a file, all over again.
    Does anyone knows if there is a way of making iPhoto "remember" or saving the location of the files?

    By default, iPhoto will store its library file under ~/Pictures. To select a library manually in iPhoto:
    Ensure that iPhoto is closed.
    Hold down the Option key and click on the iPhoto icon in your Dock or launch it from the Applications folder.
    Click on Choose Library.
    Locate and select the library you wish to use.
    Close iPhoto and re-open it. Does it remember the library that you selected?
    For more information on moving your iPhoto library, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229.
    Hope that helps, have a great day.

  • Have to manually choose wireless network every time I turn on my Macbook

    I am using a Macbook Pro for a few days now and it seems that every time I turn it on, I must manually select my wireless network before it will connect. How can I get the computer to do that automatically? I have tried what seem to be all the network settings and nothing works.

    Actually, I have. What I didn't realize when I started this thread is that this situation has been discussed elsewhere and it appears to be a bug that Apple will need to address.
    It makes no difference how the settings are set, when the Macbook is restarted it does not automatically select a wireless network. It will start the airport card ok, and list all the networks ok, and as long as my encryption key is in keychain, all I have to do is press the airport icon and then the network which I use and it will stay on even if I put the computer to sleep, but it will NOT automatically choose this network if I turn the computer off and back on again.
    Guess I just need to wait for a firmware upgrade like everyone else.

  • Have to manually select my network each time I open an application

    We recently upgraded to an Intel iMac from a G3 iMac. Everything transferred great using the migration assistant. Our only problem is that we have to manually select our home network each time we open an application such as Safari. Once connected everything works great. It's a minor inconvenience but one I'd like to fix. Probably it's just a simple check box somewhere but I haven't been able to find it. Thanks in advance for any help.

    In the Network perference pane, under Airport, there is a setting that should read "By default join preferred networks." Beneath this setting, there is a list of preferred networks. Make sure that your home network is listed first, and/or delete all others (if any). Also, make sure that the setting "Disconnect from network upon logout" is not selected.

  • Can't get pop-up blocking to stick. I have the check the box again every time I open Firefox. Any suggestions?

    I am unable to eliminate pop-ups. Firefox is opening every time with pop-up blocking disabled. I manually check the box and am good for that session, but blocking is disabled again when I open a new session. This is a new problem, as I have used Firefox for many years without pop-ups. It may be coincident with upgrading to Firefox 4. How can I get pop-up blocking to stick?!

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    *Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

  • Since the last version of numbers in IOS 7 my documents have to be download from iCloud every time I open the app

    Hello everybody. Since I update my iPad mini to IOS 7 and update numbers and pages, I can´t view my documents offline because they have to be downloaded every time I closed and open the app. I have restore the IOS from scratch, not using any backup, and the problems is still there.
    Any advice?
    Thanks

    Try working through TS1717: iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues to start with.
    Otherwise, for general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Why do I have to allow a new window every time to open from within another window, Ie, from an email?

    When I try to go to a web site from another web site or from an email from a link, I am required to click on the "ALLOW" button every time. It seems like if I have already clicked on it that I have allowed it. It is very frustrating. If it can't be fixed, I will either go back to an older version of firefox or choose another browser

    hello, you can disable these warnings, when you go to ''firefox > preferences > advanced > general > warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page''.

  • Do I have to re-calibrate my compass every time I open it?

    I just noticed that when I go into multitasking in iOS 7 on my iPhone 4S and close the compass app, the next time I open it again I have to re-calibrate it by rotating the little red ball around the compas rose.  Is this normal?

    Hello,
    Did you try reinstalling Firefox? Download the latest version (33.0.2) for your operating system and language here:
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    Uninstall Firefox in the Control Panel > Programs and Features. Then open Windows Explorer, and delete the folder:
    * (32 bit Windows) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    * (64 bit Windows) C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    And then reinstall Firefox.
    Potentially unrelated: You are using an adblocker that hasn't been updated in over two years, try replacing it with something like [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/ Adblock Plus].

  • I have to "refresh" my bookmarks almost every time I open my browser, and sometime it takes many attempts.

    My bookmarks do not open from the icon I have in my Yahoo toolbar. I constantly have to "refresh" it, which I put in quotes because that doesn't work most of the time.

    If the Yahoo toolbar loads those bookmarks from the Yahoo server then it sounds to me like a Yahoo problem.
    You can try to disable all other extension and some plugins as well to test if one of them is interfering.
