10.8.4 update - "certain enterprise WiFi nets"

The new update to 10.8 cites "compatibility improvements when connecting to certain enterprise Wi-Fi networks". Does anyone know what "certain" actually means and/or pertains to? Cisco? Aruba? 802.1x authentication? Etc.

Hello Mary,
Sorry to hear you are not able to connect to Wi-Fi on your MacBook Air. I would be concerned about this too.
I recommend following the steps in the section titled "Symptom: My Mac does not connect to the Internet" in the following article:
Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues in OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

Mac cannot find WPA-2 enterprise wifi when updated to Mavericks

My MacBook air cannot find WPA-2 enterprise wifi on the network list when updated to Mavericks, but I can add the network by choosing "joining other network" and typing username and password manually. Anyone knows how to solve this problem?

Hi everybody,
I'm having your same problems connecting to my Wi-Fi, which worked perfectly since this morning when I upgraded this Macbook, bought at the end of 2008 (actually quite old )
Wireless connect to the router and lease for the IP correctly, but after that show the ! icon and doesn't surf on the Internet...Diagnose Wireless checks everything but the problem still occur.
I sincerely hope they will fix this issue as soon as possible!

Can't connect to WiFi-nets with password

I am not quite sure that this is the right place to post this question, but feel free to move it to where it belongs, any moderator:)
I have encountered a problem I didn't have earlier with my iBook trying to connect to WiFi-nets - it seems impossible to connect with passwords - only the net I have at home with Airport Express works, password included.
As soon as I find a net which doesn't require passwords, it all works.
I experienced this for the first time in February when I visited the newspaper I am working for, which is all Macintosh. They gave me the password to be able to log in to their wireless net, but I just received a message which reads something like An error occurred when attempting to log on to xxx net. Retry? OK. (Translated from Norwegian)
On the same trip, I could log on to public nets where you come to an opening page where you fill in username and pass, but when I visited my mother's where my brother has put up a wireless router, neither my mother's new iMac nor my iBook could connect and we received the same message and had to use Ethernet cables.
It seems to have gotten worse, since I the other day tried to connect to a public network here where I live and with which I have had no problems earlier, but now I receive that same error message.
I suspect that it may be caused by some minor bug in the latest update to Tiger, since another problem with Bluetooth, which went unresolved here, disappeared with that update. But instead, I have gotten this. Hopefully, my assumption is wrong and there is a solution out there:)

Nothing but perfect.
As for the log in page not appearing, I read in another topic here that sometimes it might help to try Firefox or IE instead of Safari as they might have coded it that way or something to that effect, but the problem is that Airport doesn't even connect to the net as it did earlier. The only thing which happens is that message.
In another forum, someone discovered that if the card is not firmly placed into the contacts, problems may occur, but since I have had no problems earlier and haven't touched the card and it was not installed by me, I very much doubt that it is the case here - and it works with open nets without passwords...

What benefits are there to iOS 6 update on a "wifi only" iPad 3?

I am so glad I did a little research first before following through with an the iOS 6 update on my 5 day old 64 GB iPad 3 +wifi. So far, I don't have any confidence there is any improvement on a "wifi only unit", even Siri falls short of expectations in comparison to the basic dictation software already included in iOS 5.1.1- and I am afraid to loose the excellent dictation software. Additionally, it appears the iOS6 update could cause my wifi to become inoperable. Not a risk I am willing to take after dishing out 850.00 of hard earned money to have my iPad deemed useless and becoming frustrated.
Until, there is an actual benefit or improvement to the current iOS for a "wifi only" unit I see no reason to change to iOS 6, unless of course there are some improvements in updating on a wifi only unit that I am not aware of? I really wanted to update but too worried after reading the trouble people are having. Can someone advise what benefits there are in updating to iOS 6 on a "wifi only" new ipad3? I am not sold on Maps (turn by turn doesn't work for wifi), or on Siri to make the change.
Can someone tell me what benefits there are to updating the new iPad3 which is wifi only?

Nobody here will convince since you have already made up your own mind. That's fine. It's your choice. If you aren't comfortable updating the iOS - don't do it.
I have a WiFi only new iPad and I have never had any issues at all - with anything concerning WiFi connections or networks - as long as the network was dependable. I am using my personal MIFI hotspot right now and it works great, here are the features that iOS will provide for you If you decide to make the update.
iOS 6 features and capabilities vary between devices, with some features available only with certain devices and models.

Connecting to enterprise wifi

I work in a univesity and previous to 4.1 update had no problem connectin to the wifi.
After the update I'am unable to join the network. I have tried resetting network settings, forgetting the network and rejoining, even a complete restore but still with no joy....
Is this a common problem? are other experiencing the same issue? I have a workmate who is also experiencing this so we are trying to establish if it is a problem with the iphone update or the netwrok

What do you mean by enterprise WiFi (I know it means WiFi at your office)?
The problem is be related to access security - WEP etc or perhaps access control using MAC addresses

Wifi connection is not working with a known Wifi net with the macbook, while ipad and iphone are logged in and work absolutely fine

Line item net price not updated in overview screen net price&line item

Hi ,
We have down payment order with 10 line items
In orders with billing plan, the sales line item net price, if we entered manual condition price (ZPNP) ,gets updated in item condition net value. But it does not simultaneously gets updated at once in 1) Sales order overview screen net value 2) Billing plan header 3)Sales order overview screen line item condition net value. Updation at these three places happens only after clicked on header conditions.
However, in case of the last item in the sales order, the updation happens simultaneously in all the 3 places i.e. 1) item condition net value. 2) Sales order overview screen net value 3) Billing plan header 4) Sales order overview screen line item condition net value.
This is also true for the order with only single line item. We are faced a information popup message every time we change the item net price u201CItem 000100(100 is last line item number in sales order) exists already; the entry ignored u201C. This happens in case of all line items except the last line item. Also this does not happen in case where there is a single line item in order.
Our requirement: The moment the net price of an item is change manually, it should get updated at all the 4 places mentioned above like it does in case of the last line item.
Kindly help me to fix this problem.
Regards,
Adikesav

Why doesn't my macbook pro let me update certain applications? It says "You have updates available for other accountsTo update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.

Why doesn't my macbook pro let me update certain applications? It says "You have updates available for other accountsTo update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.

it's also likely that you used two different apple IDs to purchase apps. if that's the case then you simply have to log out of your app store, and log into the other account to update the apps.
from experience it's not possible to syncronise purchased content from two different accounts. but you can always give Apple a call.

Why is iOS 8.2 not updating on iPhone 5S? It got me to Agree and nothing happens. Am doing the update via a Wifi connection.

Hello,
Why is iOS 8.2 not updating on iPhone 5S? It got the user to Agree to the Terms and Conditions but nothing happens. The user is doing the update via a Wifi connection. Current OS version on the device is 8.1.3. User did a hard reboot of the device and still the same result. Not tried using iTunes as a workaround as we want to know why it's not updating via a Wifi connection. Storage space available is 9G.
If you know of someone who is experiencing the same issue, please let me know the fix. Thank you.

1. I do not know if this will help you or not. In researching this issue with my wife's iPhone 5c 8GB, the most common answer you will get is to adjust this or that setting, and disable this or that App. These at best are only a band-aide solution at all. The best reply I got was from a Verizon Rep that stated "By design, iPhones do turn off WiFi when they go dormant. So if a download is in progress, or information is being back-up wirelessly and the phone goes dormant, it will switch to use cellular data if it is left on". Afterwards, I discovered the exact same information here on the Apple Support Forum to support this statement.
2. Later onward, I read that if you keep your iPhone connected to a power source, it will prevent it from going dormant. In which case, this will prevent the iPhone from turning off the WiFi, and keep it connected to the WiFi. So far, this has help the most in controlling the amount of data usage being used, by my wife's iPhone.

HT5467 How does my iOs6 iPad get the location services data from my personal WiFi net?

How does Apple determine my current location of my iPad WiFi only by the location of the WiFi net (my house net)? How is the location of my private WiFi net sent to the Apple Database? Is the information obtained from the router?

The location information comes from GPS equipped devices like iPhones seeing your router and it's MAC address and sending the router location to Apple for inclusion in their database of router locations.

Wifi drops constantly on WPA enterprise wifi on my campus

Hello,
I own a macbook pro retina mid 2012 on maverick. The wifi drops constantly on campus, it's a WPA enterprise wifi. The wifi seems to work fine at home. My computer has been sent to an apple store twice for this issue already, I got it back but it is still not working and i spent more than 3 hours on the phone with apple trying to solve that issue. They made me run a lot of stuff, got me to send them files so that their engineers could work on them.
Bottom of the story, they tell me that the problem must come from my university wifi, a wifi network used by 50 000 students every single day and everyone is fine with it ...
I have been to the computer help desk on campus and they had no idea what to do.
So please if anyone has any hint, i would greatly appreciate as I lost faith in apple "engineers" and their skills.
Thanks guys.

Time capsul on cabel net and wifi net

Can I connect Time capsul on the cabel net and wifi net at the same time. I have 2 PCs connected in cable net and macbook is conected via wifi. I have some problems with this, pls help.
Thanks

Not quite sure what you're asking -- what wifi is the macbook connected to?
You can set the time capsule up to connect to the cable network and create a wifi network in your house/apartment that will let your macbook connect to the cable network.
Or, if by "wifi" you mean a public wifi network, you can set up the time capsule to be a repeater for that within the house/apartment, although that's probably not the best way to go.
You cannot connect the time capsule to both simultaneously, however--it needs to have one source of connection to the internet.
