Wifi problem with the Lion OSX

Like many others i am facing the problem of connectivity with the Lion OSX. In my room i have 2 macbook pro, one running on Lion and the other on Leopard. The problem arises with the wifi. The one with the Lion seem to get a stronger signal when both of them are placed side by side but drops out quickly. This does not happen with the MBP running on leopard.
I have tried turning on and off the wifi. It does not help. At times it gets connected but nothing comes on. Other times it shows the "the connection timeout" error.
I do hope that Apple solves the problem soon as it is clearly a OS related problem.
Eagerly waiting for the update.

Usually it's because you are not making internet connection via wifi.

Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

Wifi problem with the connection of The New Ipad (4G)

I just bough the new ipad ( 2 weeks ago), when i'm at home i usually use wifi connection and it goes w\o problem.
But today after the battery empty, i rechard it like i do,
and while recharing it i tried to update my skype and line apps so i notice this my update went slowly than it usually takes
(it took 20 - 30 mins for one update to be done). I thought
it was because of my internet, so i checked it with my pc but with the pc the internet goes without the problem.
I check other apps again (like youtube, facebook and such..) but everything same so slowly but it has connection.
but with Line it said "please make sure you have internet connection"
so is there anybody who has the same trouble? or any solutions?
thanks lot and sorry bad grammar

Does anyone know about the WIFI problems with the late 2008 Macbook 2.0?

I need a Macbook but I can't afford a new one. So I'm looking into purchasing a late-2008 Macbook 2.0.
In my research I came accross a review which said that they were having some problems with WIFI and attributed it to the metal case.
Has anyone heard of this problem and has anyone found a solution for it?
Thanks for your help.

Anyone else having WiFi problems with the IPod Touch 5th Generation?

I upgraded my old IPod Touch 3rd Generation to a 5th Generation yesterday. I've noticed however that for some reason the wi-fi connection on the 5th Generation drops off all of a sudden for no reason at all and I can't figure out why. Anyone else having similar problems? If so what did you do?

Does the iPod connect OK to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect OK?
Did the iPod connect before?
If only your network then it could be a problem with your network
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Where do I send a long list of problems I have with non-functionality with the Lion OSX and new Safari for Lion.

In the past two weeks I have been documenting my Lion problems.
First, Arrows gone from finder windows; makes it difficult in comparing long lists of files in folder, or compare documents when reviewing line by line. This is obviously a change by people who do not compare long lists in windows comparing files between versions of projects ... the click to next screen is NOT equal to arrows.
Second, Finder Redreaw - doesn't. Move files to a fold, if there are a lot of files, they image of the files being moved remains in finder (see attached screen capture) until Finder is restarted and if COPY function is running. last files in Copy queue are not copied.
Screen capture 5 minutes after moving files to a folder - the selected file images are still in Finder after the move was completed.
Third, it is SLOW, particularly going to an "Attach file" in email, drawing the content of a folder to select an attachment is long enough for me to go to the kitchen, get a drink and come back. Just like the old days of OS7.
Fourth, shifting/recentering screen away from where I am working. Several programs, browsers, Adobe Photoshop/inDesign, and dear old Pages re center my screen - not to the center, but if I choose 30 of 70 images in a folder, it will shift … somewhere else in the folder instead of where I just clicked. If I am working on a document in inDesign or PhotoShop it will do the same - the cursor and screen drift elsewhere to find something it has been amused by. Sometimes it is a word, or a file, but often it is off the pastboard and on the etherial pasteboard on which the pages sit. Or if I'm zoomed in on an image, it moves to somewhere else.
I use a mouse and keyboard, both Apple wireless. I do not use a trackpad, but have a tablet/stylus I am afraid to put into the mix until this crap is stopped.
Fifth, SAVE AS… is gone. You must unlock, duplicate and edit the duplicate … and must rename it in Finder, or use EXPORT to save as the same format under a new name. SAVE AS… worked. Not broke, why fix it?
Personal Comment: The problems seem to be the triumph of coked up software engineers ooohing and aaahing over "Wouldn't it be cool if..." Cool, if they were Microsoft, and required everyone change how they have worked on Macs for the past (almost) three decades. Triumph of brainstorming over functionality.
Sixth, I can't use Cocoa Booklet, but that really started in OSX 10.6 "Snow Leopard". Most of my X11/Cocoa programs stopped worked about that time. Apple is no longer supporting "open source"?
But Wait! There's More...
Seventh, Tonight, trying to download a 1.7 gig archive onto a disk where 280 Gigs were supposedly free, it would not download because, according to the wonderful new Safari and the wonderful new Lion, there is not enough disk space to download a 1.7 gig file in a mere 280 Gigs of free space.
I might be able to move Snow Leopard onto the iMac, but my deciding factor was that Apple, in its wisdom, decided to make iBook Author unable to run under Snow Leopard. So moving to Snow Leopard means I have lost the ONLY benefit I get from the new computer and the new system.
This really stinks.

WIFI problem with the last time machine update

When Apple released the last update for time machine via "software update" I did that as I usually do on my macbook intel core 2 duo 1,83. It was like two months ago and I remeber there were some other updates together. After rebooting the machine I had no chance to connecting to my wifi anymore (using a NETGEAR router) and I went crazy trying to find the problem. In a forum somewhere on the web I found someone else having the same problem that was related to that "time Machine" update. The only solution (extreme) was to reinstalling the OS and, doing all the updates except for time machine
Yesterday Apple released the new 10.5.3 and without thinking about I did the update today ... and now it doesn't connect to wifi again.
Anyone experienced the same problem?
Anyone has a solution to that or just how to remove this time machine stuff?
Thanks ---

The project is 5 minutes long, but I cannot export any other project, even the short ones (few seconds).
Whereas, if I try to export a project that I already exported in the past, that one I can export.
The source is only pictures. Thousands of pictures for a stopmotion project. But as I said, it doesn't work neither with other minor projects
I don't really know what to do.
Does anybody know if I can downgrade the software?
Thanks for suppot
Cheers

When I click on network utility and try to verify my disc it will not allow it due to a damaged disc. My Genius 3 repair disc doesn't work with the Lion OSX. What should I so now?

I have an iMac 10.07. Have a damaged disc according to disc utility. What should I do to fix this?
Thanks,
John

If you are using Lion you will need to restart your Mac in recovery mode. Then run disk utility to repair your hard drive.
OS X Lion includes a built in set of utilities in the Recovery HD. Restart your Mac and hold down the Command key and the R key (Command-R), and keep holding them until the Apple icon appears, indicating that your Mac is starting up. After the Recovery HD is finished starting up, you should see a desktop with a Mac OS X menu bar and a "Mac OS X Utilities" application window. Note: If you see a login window or your own desktop and icons, it is possible that you didn't hold Command-R early enough. Restart and try again.

How can i resolve the wifi problem with the ios 6.1.3 software on my iphone 4s?

my wifi keeps going on then off and its starting to **** me off......apple are aware of this and arent doing anything about it...if the issue isnt resolved soon, i will be leaving apple

Why don't you try some basic troubleshooting instead of ranting about how someone else should solve a problem that's specific to YOUR phone.

Wifi problem with OSX Yosemite

I owned my first 13 inch MBP Late 2011 that came with OSX Lion. I upgraded my MBP with every new OSX releases and were very pleased with them.
With OSX Yosemite, I was very happy with the fresh new feel and looks of it. The problem with the new OSX it that my wifi connection suffers from it. The speed are getting slower and slower and the connection often drop off unexpectedly. The worst thing of all is that I can't connect to my windows phone wifi sharing. This doesn't happen with the previous OSXes. Please rectify this problem as soon as possible. Thank you.

What model of Mac? I have a MBP running 10.7.3 and do not have that issue. From the other couple of posts I've seen about it, it seems to be maybe an issue with some iMacs? Have your tried searching the Lion or iMac forums for similar issues, just to see if anyone has hit on why it is happening?

Problems with the CS5.5 Design Premium Suite on OSX Lion?

Hi, did anybody had already problems with the CS5.5 Design Premium Suite on OSX Lion? I purchased the software as a Volume licenced product recently and everything was working fine, until since few days my Indesign and Illustrator keep crashing on launch. I de-installed and re-installed the entire CS5 Suite on my iMac, but Indesign and Illustrator still keep on crashing while launching. I already rang the Adobe tech support but they are not very helpful at all... Its quite frustrating.

No problems here with CS5. After I upgraded to Lion I did update to 5.5 and still did not experience any problems. There are some handy articlles on Adobe's web site relating to compatability with Lion, but I have experienced none. Have you checked the third party plug-ins in Illustrator and InDesign for compatability if you have any installed?

Downloaded Mt Lion. Now my facetime launches then quits with message that there is a problem with the C_L Kernel Plugin. Everything else works just fine. I can get on line etc.

I have have an early 2008 imac 8,1 It has been a good machine no problems. UNTIL we downloaded Mt Lion. We can no longer use facetime. We click on the icon it comes up, tries to connect then it disappears with the message that there was a problem with the C_L Kernel Plugin. We can go on line without difficulty, everything else seems to be working. Searching the internet shows that others have had the same problem with Mt Lion. But so far I haven't found a solution. We have wiped the drive reloaded snow leopard then downloaded Mt Lion again. We put in a NEW hard drive and reloaded snow leopard then Mt Lion. We have changed out ram using apple ram. But we still get the same result. Everything works except for Facetime. Is there some patch we have missed? Facetime DOES work on our ipads without a hitch so I doubt it's the internet connection. We've tried the imac both wirelessly as the ipads run and hardwired and get no where fast. So any help at all would be appreciated. We live in the boonies, the nearest mac repair is over 150 miles away so this is pretty nuch a do it myself affair. We know the machine is old by most standards today. But we pretty much run our machines until they can't power up. So we'd like to get this one back on its perch so to speak with its face time working.
Thank you ahead of time for any advise help given.

Under AUTHENTICATION I used PASSWORD. Should I have used external client cert TLS?
Please help me set this up securely. Thanks

I am having problems with the wifi connection on my ipad 4th generation only 3 weeks old. Have left it back to the shop i bought it in and they said they have to send it away now i am left with no ipad. What after sales support do you give really?

Does anyone else have problems with the wifi connection on their 4th generation Mine keeps going off line and its only 3 weeks old.I had the ipad mini and this problem never existed. I brought it back to the shop where i bought it Expert Laois last week and they said they couldnt find a problem but had to take it back today as it keeps disconneting from wifi still, anyway they are sending it back for repair and it am left with no ipad. After spending in excess of 700e i feel that this is really bad after sales service. I bought something that i want to use now and cant so what a waste of money it is .

Thankyou, but the shop said that they spoken to apple and that they have now changed their policy and that they do not give a replacement. So are you telling me that their information is false. Also what should they have done. This problem has existed since i bought it.????? What should i do?????
