10.10.1 crashes when I turn WIFI off

I'm operating wired on a santa rosa 2007 MacBook Pro. I noticed after the OS update my WiFi was on. It freezes and crashes the OS whenever I try turning the WiFi off, either via the menu bar or the sys prefs for Network.
Has anyone seen this and perhaps direct me to possible fixes? Google has let me down on this one because it's full of WiFi problems, none of which come close to crashing while turning it off.

Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

    Someone has hacked my things, how do I turn wifi off, and when will it be safe to go back on? Also, do I need to reset everything? I have already changed passwords, covered my webcam, etc. Will they still have access to my computer?

    Could you explain what you mean by 'Someone has hacked my things'?

  • Crashes when I turn on thumbnails and . . .

    Hi all,
    I've had this problem with Muse for a while now. . . it crashes when I turn on the Thumbnails in the plan view and I can see the overall "plan" of the site.  There's something about one of the pages that does not compute. 
    To get around this, as soon as Muse opens the project, I quickly turned off the Thunbnails and I'm able to work with it - until tonight.
    One of the pages has an embedded text box within a text box.  I did this by creating the text I wanted to embed outside of the main text box, then cut it and pasted it inside the main text box. 
    That worked and it didn't give Muse any headaches. . . until tonight.  
    Now, if I open that page, Muse crashes. 
    I don't have the same workaround that I had with thumbnails.  It crashes as soon as the page opens, so there's no way to make any changes to that page.
    It also crashes when I open a page that has embedded code that is from a site that houses sounds.  I have a recording uploaded to that site and I've added their widget thingy to this page. 
    There's something about the placement or size of both the widget thingy and the embedded text box that makes Muse puke.
    If anyone has a way to get around this  - or get to the page so I can 'fix' it, I would be VERY appreciative.  I'm guessing I could delete the page and try again, but I really don't want to have to rebuild this stuff.

    Thanks for the reply. 
    I'm on the fence about sending you the data.  The text on the pages is quite personal and sensitive.  On the other hand, I would like this resolved and perhaps it would help other's as well. 
    I assume I can delete the pages (not masters) that open without issue - and leave only the pages that crash Muse.   It will still contain information I would not want desseminated. 
    I also assume I can get assurances that the data will be secure and destroyed once you are done with it.

  • Safari and firefox 'cannot find the server' for every other page that i navigate to, unless I turn Wifi off and on. How do I fix this?

    Safari and firefox 'cannot find the server' for every other page that i navigate to, unless I turn Wifi off and on. Once i reconnect to the network, the page loads, but after loading a few more pages, the same thing happens all over again.
    This happens each and every time, on different Wifi networks, in different locations.  On the other hand, I don't ever encounter this problem when I tether my laptop to my mobile phone's 3g/2g network using Personal Hotspot. How do I fix this?

    Try this DNS server ...
    Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS
    Click + and type:
    208.67.222.222
    Click + again and do the same.
    208.67.220.220
    Click OK.
    Quit and relaunch both your browsers to test.

  • To I need to have 3G enabled to recieve service signal as when I turn 3G off I get no service in the top left signal bar

    Yes, but if you're connected to wifi then no.

  • Frustratingly, since I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10, I too am having the worst problems with WiFi dropping out. I've never had this problem before on my iMac 27-inch mid 2011 model. Turning WiFi off and then back on again sometimes works. Help please.

    Frustratingly, since I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10, I too am having the worst problems with WiFi dropping out. I've never had this problem before on my iMac 27-inch mid 2011 model. Turning WiFi off and then back on again sometimes works. Help please. I've already tried a lot of your suggested fixes, but without success. Why hasn't Apple Fixed this?

    Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program 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
    Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
    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. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
    Step 4
    Open the Energy Saver pane in System Preferences and unlock the settings, if necessary. Select the Power Adapter  tab, if there is one. Uncheck the box marked
              Wake for Wi-Fi network access
    if it's checked.
    Step 5
    Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
    Step 6
    In the Wi-Fi settings, select
              Advanced... ▹ TCP/IP ▹ Configure IPv6: Link-local
    Click OK and then Apply.
    Step 7
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Step 8
    Reset the PRAM.
    Step 9
    Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
    Step 10
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

    Hello srpeters5,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Wi-Fi on your iPhone.  You have taken some really good steps to troubleshoot this issue already.  I found an article that includes a few additional steps you can try.  You can skip any steps you have already taken.

  • Cannot boot my MacBook Pro. Tryed CMD+R, reinstall OS, error message :damaged HD. When trying to repait it says it's OK. Yesterday HD wasn't even half full when I turned it off, now it says it's full.

    What may have happened is an error and a kernel panic, filling up the logfiles.
    What I recommend is first to find a way to backup your data without booting the hard drive directly if it isn't already backed up, and then get Alsoft Disk Warrior to repair the hard drive.    You'll probably want an external drive from http://www.macsales.com/
    And you'll want to go into Hard drive -> Library -> Logs, System -> Library -> Logs, and Users -> yourname -> Library -> Logs to remove whatever you find there.   
    If after booting it fills up again, start by removing all startup items in your System Preferences for your user, and rebooting in safe mode with the shift key held down. If the hard drive is over 85% full after removing the logfiles, you may want to look at what were the last applications you installed.
    Peer2peer software if installed can be as bad as a virus, because it enables others to access your computer. Insecure wireless networks are just as bad, if they are WEP or no encryption and someone is within 1500 feet of your computer.
    If no such software is installed, your RAM probably has failed.    Run the hardware test that came with your computer, by booting with the 'D' key.
    If nothing shows up there, it can still be the RAM.   Especially if you've seen any 4 language screens telling you to restart.
    Here's more on kernel panics:

    i usually turn me iphone 4s at night to conserve battery, however last oct 19 it has restarted when i turn if off.and it still happens til now.
    returned it to carrier for check up but after resetting, restoring and updating the ios, still not fixed.
    requested for replacement, but they said it might not be approved beacause the charging port has been burned(as per them).
    i didn't know how it got burned but this was never been overcharged nor had been contacted with water.
    my battery drains very fast, at 1am, it was 47% when i wake up around 8am it goes down to 20%.

    Sorry no, there isn't a way to turn off those reminders.

  • When I play my Ipod shuffle 3rd gen there's a moment when I start hearing interference until it stops playing, when I turn it off and on again it starts playing from the first song all over again, and once it sounded like the music was slowing down.

    My Ipod shuffle 3rd gen starts playing songs with some kind of interference until it stops playing, when I turn it off and on again it starts playing from the first song all over again, and once it sounded like the music was slowing down.  First I thought it was the earphones, but I exchanged them for newer ones and so far its the same

    You may want to do a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes.  The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.  If it's a software or data corruption glitch, the Restore should fix it.  After the Restore, reload or resync your songs, and try it again.  As a test, you may want to initially select a small number of songs to put back on the shuffle.

  • ITunes is telling me that my iP4 may be damaged and can't be activated, but I was using it when it turned itself off, so how can it be damaged?

    iTunes is telling me that my iP4 may be damaged and can't be activated, but I was using it when it turned itself off, so how can it be damaged? I even managed to download photo's from it whilst it was turned off, so there was clearly some functionality before I restored it. Is anyone aware of any problems with the Apple's servers currently?

    Things fail sometimes.
    Was it jailbroken or "unlocked"?
