10.4.10 and wireless problems

Hello,
I think I may have the 10.4.10 problem -- here are my symptoms:
Wireless icon in toolbar shows full strength
Network control panel shows that I'm pulling a valid IP from the wireless router (in my case, 192.168.1.2)
'Network Diagnostics' initially reports problems sometimes, but then figures out that everything is OK
Router admin shows that internet is working, and indeed can connect through ethernet from router, and router is pulling a 'real' ip address from modem
Firefox, Safari, Mail, Software update, etc can not connect to the internet.
If Network Diagnostics can see that the settings are valid, why can't TCP/IP apps work? Is there some kind of bindings thing I can run that would work?
I'm currently typing this with an ethernet cord hooked in, which is SO late 90's.
This all happened when I updated to 10.4.10.
a) How do you downgrade to 10.4.9?
b) How do we notify Apple of this problem?
c) Is it MacBooks only, or everyone?
Thanks all!

Hi,
Thanks for the response D, but actually the 192.168.1.x range is what my router gives -- my 'real' IP address goes to the router (a cheap netgear, but it's never given me any trouble) and the router assigns an internal IP to the wireless devices.
So my 'real' (external) IP shows up in the router control panel (68.160.x.x @ last check) or via whatismyip.com etc, but the router also gives 192.168 addresses via DHCP. (In my experience, if the computer is truly not pulling an IP, it assigns itself one in the 169.254.x.x range.)
That's what confuses me about this -- everything is working as it should... even Network Diagnostics (or whatever it's called) reports a working connection... and yet the connection somehow isn't working for any internet services.
For a minute I thought maybe it was a binding type thing, where the TCP/IP request didn't know where to go, but it happens with mail and FTP as well, so that means that all the ports are blocked, right?
I'm completely befuddled. Anyone know how to reinstall 10.4.9 just in case it's that? I downloaded the updater, but the installer won't let me downgrade...

  • Mic problem of  windows 7 on a MacBookPro and wireless problem with macosx

    recently, I installed windows 7 on my MacbookPro, it is MBP985(which has a sound card from Cirrus Logic).
    everything works well but two things:
    1)the first is about the microphone. The mic works, it even can be used with "windows speech recognition" which is complex use of the mic.I also can use the sound recorder and playback the sound.
    but I just cant use the mic for skype or OICQ(a popular instant messenger in china), i dont know why but i'm sure this can be fix in some proper ways.
    before that ,i try a lot, but just cant get it work.
    i need some help!
    2)it is about the wireless (or wifi issues). I can access the network easily both macosx and win7 wiht my home wireless router, but with the macosx, it drops frequently, diagnostication always ask me to restart the router. I living in a house with 7 bedroom, that means i'm not the only one use the netwrok, so i cant restart the router so many times. So i'm dispported by macosx a little bit in this case(windows never give me this problem to me).i just dont know how to fix it.

    another problem, when in college, it is another situation.
    my college is Sheffield Hallam University. SHU provide wifi in various of area. \
    Macosx can easily access the net but the windows not, so i'm so confused by these situation.
    Fortunately,I'm lucky have two different lastest OS on my macbookpro, if one of them have some problem i can switch ot another quickly.
    But I definitely need some help with those things, if some can give me some advice i do appreciate it!

  • Tablet PC tx2000 - display and wireless problems

    Hey folks. I have an HP tx2000 tablet laptop with a year-from-purchase warranty that expired just last month, and now two serious and potentially debilitating problems have occured. I've spent about four or five hours with the nice people from Livechat, who were patient on the whole and managed to temporarily fix one of the issues.
    1) The wireless device cannot be detected - The laptop's wireless card is not being read. This is a big downer for me because I use wireless exclusively at home and work and I really don't want to shell out bucks for a smart card to replace technology on a laptop that is 1 year and 1 month old. The first thing I tried was re-installing Vista. The wireless card was detected and worked just dandy until as soon as I restarted the computer. Then it disappeared from the device manager list. I re-installed a second time and the same thing happened. Livechat directed me to a new BIOS to install, so I installed that, too. The same thing happened. Then Livechat instructed me to remove the HP Wireless Assistant program, and bingo! The wireless worked fine, and through many reboots. For a day and a half. Now it cannot found again.
    2) When the laptop enters sleep or hibernation, the display will not 'wake up' again. The fan will hum, the leds will flash, but the display refuses to wake. The only way to solve this is to reboot the computer. This also happens /every time/ I power on the computer cleanly. The display will not activate, no post screen, no system beep a few seconds afterwards. The only solution is to hold the power slider down until the system does a hard shut down, and then click it again to turn the computer back on. This usually works, though sometimes it takes 2 or 3 tries.
    The Livechat solution was to update my video drivers, and they sent me a nice handy nvidia update.  Upon install restart, the computer behaved normally, but once I restarted again (After wrapping up the marathon Livechat session at 5 in the morning) the blank-screen problem occured. I also tried to install the latest drivers from the nvidia website (which were updated from the ones HP gave me), to no effect. 
    I've read about both of these problems on various internet boards; wireless failure seems to be a widespread thing with Pavilions and the chipset, though this is a rather unique case in that reinstalling does allow the system to immediately 'find' it and it works fine, and HP Livechat provided me with a working solution where the wireless ran for a day and a half and through ten or twelve power ups/power downs. The screen problem, however, seems very common and is frustrating to the extreme for myself and several others. Many hypothesize it involves the tablet technology. My previous laptop was a Dell Inspiron with a large, 2" diameter hole burned into the screen, and Dell Support wouldn't even talk to me even though they had a uniquely extended warranty for what was a major manufacturing problem. Too bad, I fell short of the 3-year warranty, and they would just shuttle me to a pay-for service as soon as I gave them my tags. I've lost all faith in Dell products as a result. HP, in contrast, has been very civil through the Livechat, and I read up on some of these forums.. it looks as if people know what they're doing here. I don't want to throw away more money on another laptop, and the tablet functions are the bomb. I just want a working laptop.
     Cheers,

    Nice, only took 'em 12 minutes to censor my post and remove mention of a certain web site. 
    To the Hewlett-Packard employees here, how does it feel to have to constantly cull posts on this particular issue day-in and day-out? I think that you guys have a better scope of this manufacturing problem and just how many people it is affecting. Certainly you know how mad they are. I do think your conduct has been fairly civil, but I find it absurd that as representatives of this company you continue to ignore the mounting evidence that we all have bad GPU-equipped laptops. 
    Then again, you probably can't do much about it, and I'm sure nobody above you is willing to consider the issue at hand and release a public response. I am confident that this arm of HP is ignoring their customers just as much as the other echelons I have visited in my quest to get a free repair.
    http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/globalcitizenship/ethics/
    From the above, 'Business Ethics' by HP:
    'We are passionate about customers; (Sure are!) 
    We have trust and respect for individuals; (I don't see the respect part, and we no longer hold trust for you.)
    We perform at a high level of achievement and contribution; (If achievement == making money by charging repairs to manufactured-defective laptops.)
    We act with speed and agility; (On ignoring, buffeting, delaying, and downright covering up this entire mess)
    We deliver meaningful innovation;
    We achieve our results through teamwork; and
    We conduct our business with uncompromising integrity. (Yeah, you sure haven't compromised with the THOUSANDS of PISSED OFF CUSTOMERS in this mess!)
    At HP we want to be a company that is known for its leadership in corporate ethics and responsibility. A company where employees are proud to work, and customers, partners and suppliers want to do business with.'
    I think HP is irresponsible not to re-address the issue of machines covered by the LWSE. I cannot say anything about corporate ethics here; all it translates into is finger-point-who-started-the-problem. As a customer, I no longer want to do business with HP. I don't know much about their partners or suppliers' feelings on this issue.
    However, to the censors:
    Is this a company in which you are proud to do the sort of work you do here?

  • IPad Sync and Wireless problem

    Suddenly my iPad 3 is taking a long time to find my router, even when it is in the same room. My Macbook and PC are not having any problems with the wireless. Also, I have my iPad connected to the Macbook via USB, but iTunes has been stuck on the Syncing iPad message for hours.
    I have the latest OS for all devices.
    Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    Hello Chris,
    The following article may be helpful in getting your iPad to cooperate with your WiFi network.
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    If your iOS device does not auto-join a Wi-Fi network you've already connected to
    Avoid giving your Wi-Fi network a common name.
    Apple maintains a list of common or ambiguous SSIDs, including the default SSID for many commercially available access points, as well as the SSIDs "wireless" and "default".
    If you do have a common SSID, try changing your network name to something unique.
    I would also recommend checking out the "Additional Information" section, as well.

  • Wireless Problem in windows 7 intel wifi link 5100agn

    i bought a dv7 1270us laptop in january. everything was fine until the last 3 months i started having small problems in vista. it would take 10+ minutes to connect and the speed would go up and down. then i installed windows 7 and am either having problems with the card or driver but ive tried every driver i can find and nithing has worked.. the wireless drops randonly. when it drops it doesnt lose connection the signal drops all the way down to one bar and i get maybe 10Kbps of bandwith well it takes 2 minutes to load a page of this forum atleast. When it drops it also only drops for maybe 5-10 minutes or else it stays like that until i restart but resarting always fixes it tempoparily for 10 minutes or so. toaday i tried to disconnect and reconnect to my network. as soon as i cicked connect i got a blue screen it pointed torwards netw5v64.sys i have tried re installing the drivers multiple times and the problem isnt resolved. i have sent the laptop in twice in the last 2 months one for the blue ray drive and wireless problems i am having now. they sent it back with a new blue ray drive and a new antenna for my wireless saying the card was fina it was a driver and maybe a new antenna would help with connectivity. well they were wrong. i got it back and it started overheating to 90+ degrees celcius and wireless problems were still there even though they re-imaged the hard drive so all drivers should be perfect.so i sent it back again. now i just got it back and they cleaned the heatsink and completely ignored my wireless problems. the sheet that states the repairs that were done has a circle aroubd cleaned heatsink/fan and thats it n comments or anything. then to make the icing on the cake there is a 3 inch long fairly deep scrath on my laptop i take verygood care of all of my laptops so that i can sell them used for more than a scratched up one. i am very disappointed in hp and almost dont want to send it back and loose it for another week just to get it back without anything being done again i am almost certain they would re0image the hard drive again and send it back since they didnt even do that the second time. okay back on topic is there anything anyone has heard t fix this so i dont have to send it in again. any help is appreciated

    Intel! They make processors and a variety of motherboard hardware, but they seem to have a devil of a time making decent drivers. Particularly with their wireless NICs. Lately I’ve noticed a number of errors springing from the Intel WiFi Link 5100/5300 AGN family of wireless adapters. They seem to cause random bluescreen errors on Windows Vista systems. Fortnuately, there is a viable workaround:
    -Right click on Computer and select Manage.
    -After Computer Management opens up, go to Device Manager.
    -In Device Manager, expand the Network Adapters category.
    -Right-click on “Intel (R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN” and select Properties.
    -In Properties, go to the Power Management tab.
    -Under the Power Management tab, make sure that “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power” is unchecked.
    Apparently, the driver for the WiFi Link 5100 can’t properly handle the device going to sleep, and pulls down the whole system. Hopefully Intel will fix this in future driver updates. Until then, this workaround will have to do.

  • Sleep function = wireless problem?

    I have an Intel iMac 2.4 GHz/OS 10.5.2 (the earlier version of Leopard came pre-installed) and a lynksis router.
    Like many others I experienced an unstable wireless connection from day 1 with this computer. The other two Macs in the house, both running Tiger had and have no such problem.
    Changing the router channel from 6 to 3 seemed to help somewhat, but the problem persisted.
    I noticed it was worse when the computer had just been wakened from sleep. That is, the wireless signal would start strong then quickly fade away. I found that putting the computer back to sleep, then immediately waking it up would restore the signal, but I often had to do this a dozen times during a session of an hour or so.
    Since there seemed to be some connection between the sleep function and the wireless connectivity I decided to experiment. I went to System Preferences/Energy Saver and set the sleep function to Never. The screen is still set to black out after fifteen minutes. So now the computer is awake all the time, only the screen darkens after some inactivity.
    For three days now the wireless signal has been extremely robust - no fading out whatsoever and the bars have remained at full strength. This certainly doesn't explain the cause of the problem, but it does seem to be an effective work-around, at least so far.
    Has anyone else had a similar experience? And can anyone explain why the sleep function would affect wireless connectivity?

    That a graphics update would fix the sleep function (not to mention the associated wireless issues) seemed odd to me too. I'm just reporting what the Apple tech said. I do have the impression that if they really can't solve your problem their next objective is to get the caller off the line as pleasantly as possible. That may possibly be the case here.
    I would certainly be interested to know if anyone else has a similar problem. The two necessary conditions seem to be:
    1. Sleep function (as set from System Preferences) unreliable, e.g. doesn't always put the computer to sleep, sometimes invokes such a deep sleep that the computer must be unplugged to restart, sometimes wakes up by itself;and
    2. Wireless signal slows to a crawl shortly after awakening from sleep (and in my case, remains unstable, requiring toggling sleep on/off or airport card on/off to resume strong signal.)
    As long as I have the sleep function set to Never the wireless problem disappears. It's been almost two weeks now, so I'm pretty sure there's some link between the two conditions. After the last software update from Apple a couple of days ago I reset the sleep function back to 15 minutes and the wireless fade immediately started up again. Reset it to Never, and, voila!, no problem since.
    I hope anyone else who has both sleep and wireless problems will try this. So far it's the first reliable clue I've found regarding the issue of unstable wireless.

  • Problems with hp laser printing in leopard- wired and wireless

    Printing problems in Leopard are slowly eating away at my last nerve!
    Here's the background: I have a Macbook Pro 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo, 4GB ram, running 10.5.2. Ever since I upgraded to Leopard, I've been having printing problems, both wired and wireless. I have an HP Laserjet 1160, which is a wonderfully reliable printer- I've had it since 2005 and have never had a problem.
    When I installed Leopard, I began getting a popup message after starting up my computer and logging in. The message has a lighthouse icon on it and reads:
    "Popup Error: Failed to listen for incoming Popup jobs. You will not be able to use Popup printing for the duration of this session. Please report this incident to a system administrator."
    (for the record, I only have one computer, it's not on any system, and I have the administrator account)
    Here are the two problems I have:
    -First, wired printing is spotty. Half of the time, when I connect the USB cable and click print, nothing prints. Usually, if I unplug the cable and plug it into the other USB port, then printing works. This is in spite of the fact that the computer recognizes that the printer is there- I can delete then re-add the printer to my printer list and still nothing.
    -Second, wireless printing does not work at all. Again, the printer is recognized when plugged in to either the time capsule or the airport express, and I can add the printer, but printing doesn't work: the job is sent to the print queue, but the queue stalls on the "connecting to printer" phase.
    This problem is a huge pain, and I have no idea how to solve it. Any help is appreciated.
    Jon

    Thanks for posting this problem Cathjock. I have had the same issue with a NEC Superscript 1400. Thinking it wast he printer, which is getting up there in age, I went out and purchased a new HP P1505 to no avail. I have been researching this for a few days now and think that all of this is related to a user permission in CUPS. I have de-installed, re-installed, re-booted etc as prescribed and got three pages hours after the fact via my Airport Express connected new printer. Generally, however, nothing comes out immediately as was the case in the past either on Airport Express or via USB cable. I am stumped and am starting to get worried.
    I can't print invoices for my business and am considering firing up my old Windows machine if you can believe it !
    Seriously, Apple has created a monstrous situation with all of htese printing issues and nothing is apparently being done, nothing that I can find in any of the discussion forums at this time.
    My last option is to re-install 10.5 with an archive and install as I really cannot afford to start from scratch.
    Now if you look at this forum, there are 242,847 views logged with 2,514 questions and 13,848 messages.
    This should mean something for Apple as many people need help and are getting really really ******-off.
    So pleeeeaaaaase Apple. respond and offer a fix for this problem that is plaguing a ton of people.

  • Installing libproxy and connecting to a wpa2 wireless problems

    Hi everyone.
    For a very long time i have used ubuntu based distros. And yesterday i installed ArchLinux.
    My problem is when i tried to install gnome-shell. I come across with a problem about installing libproxy, the key signature (pgp) error. After many researches i tried to change SigLevel to Never at /etc/pacman.conf. Then it gave key signature (checksum) error.
    I tried "pacman-key --refresh-keys", "pacman-key --populate archlinux", "pacman-key --init", "pacman -Syy", "pacman -Syu" none worked.
    Then i found on the internet that some guy was telling that it might be because of the net provider. You know some providers bans the word "proxy". So i decided to give it a shot and tried to connect to a wireless that is wpa2. And another problem arised.
    Although i installed "netctl", "dialog", "wpa_supplicant" cant connect to a wifi. I can see but it gives connection failure. Dont know what to do.
    Thanks in advance.

    Ok i solved the libproxy problem by connecting to a router that is no banned the word proxy via cable. But the wifi problem still exist.
    I dont know what to do but i checked lots of topics and tried both netctl wifi-menu method and iw method. Non worked.

  • Dreamweaver and wireless network problem

    This isn't about Airport, but I couldn't find the proper place to post this, so I put it here. Please advise if I'm wrong.
    I'm running Tiger (10.4.2) on a dual G5. My husband is running Windows XP on a 2GHz Dell, and also a Dell laptop. We just moved and HE is wireless now, not me. I am hardwired to a Netgear router (doesn't seem to have a name but the number on the bottom is CD814WG). We are using RoadRunner as our ISP, as we have done for seven or eight years, since its introduction into our city. TimeWarner did our installation, and everything is fine with my machine (although my husband's problems are another issue altogether!).
    I should also say that we are in no way networked, and that is not our goal or plan. We have the Netgear router, and as I mentioned, I'm wired directly to it. We both use broadband individually, and have no need to share a connection.
    I'm not having any problems at all with my broadband connection -- internet and Mail are fine -- but since the installation of the Netgear router I can't use Dreamweaver to upload HTML pages I create. I can use Fetch just fine, which doesn't surprise me since I've always powered right through my firewall with Fetch, while I always had to turn it off, with Dreamweaver. And of course I should say that my firewall is down when I have the uploading problem. The built-in OS X firewall is currently the only one I have installed, BTW.
    When I try to upload, DW gives me a dialog box saying "Dreamweaver cannot determine the remote server time. The Select Newer and Sychronize commands will not be available." And of course I can't upload anything.
    Any ideas? I have the information the TimeWarner guy left here so I can go onto the Netgear admin page, but I don't know what to change/add so that I'm able to upload with DW. It's my understanding that port 80 is for internet connections, but as I mentioned, it's not blocked -- I can go online just fine. It's just that I can no longer upload HTML pages with Dreamweaver.
    Thanks in advance...

    I'm getting the same error message as you (Dreamweaver cannot determine the remote server time...).
    I found that I could no longer upload with Dreamweaver (or see all the remote files) but I could with Transmit. However (and here the similarity ends) when I turned off the OSX firewall everything was fine.
    This didn't make me feel very easy, however, as I preferred having the firewall up. I found that it would work with the firewall up if I checked the "use passive FTP" box in Remote Info in the Site Definition menu.
    The Netgear router also has an NAT Firewall but I am using a Netgear router too, both hardwired on my iMac (via Airport Extreme - don't ask!) and wirelessly on my laptop. I haven't configured the firewall on that at all (I wouldn't dare!) and I'm getting through OK now. Try the passive FTP thing; it might work!

  • Broadband/internet and wireless connection problem...

    Towards the end of 2101 I received an email informing me that BT would be upgrading my local line and I could expect a much improved service. Whether this 'upgrade' has been the cause of my problems or is merely coincidental I cannot say. Prior to my experience since this time I could count lost broadband in hours per year (I never had internet or wireless connection problems). 
    Since the end of 2010 I now regularly lose my broadband completely every six to eight weeks. 'Home Hub cannot connect to broadband.' There is a worsening loss of speed? over a period of two to four days at the end of which I need to phone BT three/four/five, etc. times until they manage to locate the problem and fix it. It is always some problem they find on the line or with their equipment.
    I always mention that this is an ongoing problem. Never do they take any action to escalate the issue.
    This week things have become considerably worse.
    I have started to lose my internet connection now. 'Safari cannot connect to the internet'.
    There are now two issues which arise concurrently.
    I phoned BT, finally the operative in India (through a very poor BT wireless phone connection) changed the channel of my router for me. He mentioned something about changing the address and password. This seriously exacerbated the situation. My password is not recognised now when I am asked to reconnect by selecting a network.
    The next occasion on which I lost my INTERNET connection and tried to reconnect I got the message 'Airport has the self-assigned IP address (...........) and is unable to connect to the internet.
    I phoned BT to report this and was told that this indicated an adapter problem and the problem was now out of BT's hands. I Should contact Apple. 
    I did so. Apple said I should contact BT to change channels. I explained this had caused the problem and they were now refusing to assist me. Apple tried everything that they could think of to resolve the issue (despite not being required to do so). Eventually the only suggestion they could make as BT had refused to help was to reinstall my operating system. Extremely drastic. But I can now connect wirelessly again.
    Service is still intermittent requiring constant restarts to regain connections.
    BT's response to a formal complaint was more of the usual banal questions, the usual tests, the usual promises of 'something would be done'.
    Their systems are not set up to make any sort of accurate diagnosis of customers' issues. They seem to have a set number of 'fixes' into which they try to fit all problems - one would assume simply to save costs - their cost saving exercises are now costing me money.
    That's all for starters.
    Any suggestions?
    Solved!

  • FiOS, Actiontec, MBP, and 10.5.5 wireless problems

    I've posted a couple of threads, prior to realizing that the problem I'm having is likely an interaction between my MBP and the FiOS actiontec blocking NAT. Anyone else having wireless problems with FiOS on an MBP?

    There are over 23000 compatible Mac hardware and software titles on http://guide.apple.com/ Even if there were only 64 compatible Mac and hardware titles, that would take longer than the age of the universe to test every possible combination of software and hardware, based on a single test every second with 64 factorial equaling greater than the age of the universe in seconds. Somewhere even old items are going to drop off in terms of compatibility. That's why there are specs. That's why Apple sets developer guidelines at http://developer.apple.com/
    Your $1000 router, is probably only worth $10 today, if it doesn't meet today's current standards. Apple makes an effort to follow the standards of present day. If you spent $1000 on your router, I sure hope the company that makes it has a good support system. If it doesn't, it sounds like you made an unwise purchase then, and should sell it and get a better router. Apple's Airport Extreme base stations are only $179. You can setup a wireless distribution system with them, and Airport Express base stations which are only $99 that probably will cover just as many machines as your $1000 router.
