Airport Extreme (Dualband) Issues after latest update

So after the semi-recent 7.4.1 upgrades, I am having a persistent issue where my computer will drops its connection to my Airport Extreme Dualband for no reason. Most commonly, it happens after I have left the computer sitting overnight. After I come back, the computer will be connected to no networks, despite my network showing up as available. The computer is not on the move, and there are no signal issues. I am not totally positive which machine is responsible (i.e. if the computer is dropping the connection, or if the router is), but I was hoping to here whether anyone else is experiencing the problem.

Spent 8 hours last night with same issues. All issues really started after the update. I had just bought the new dual band, set up was smooth, then all **** broke loose after the X.1 update. A couple of things I noticed. 1) Same issues you had that if the computers sat, it took a good 5 minutes to get the network up again or "see" it 2) I use comcast and I have noticed that the dynamic is causing issues between the AE and modem (post update) 3) Every time I try to change settings on the AE to add Guest network, the whole network crashes and I have to go to complete hard boot, reset AE and do power start all the way out. 4) Comcast rep had me power cycle all of my hard wire gigabit routers off the AE. I was having issues until I did this. Apparently the AE keeps IP if you feed routers off of it. Going to revert to 7.4 right now.

Open GL issue after latest updates: Missing GL version

Having issues with OpenGL after latest updates to OSX and Safari. iTunes will not display cover art and Angry Birds responds glewInit failed: Missing GL version. The is a Mac Pro with 10.7.4 and Safari 5.1.7.
Anyelse seen this? How is this fixed?

Final chapter in this saga for anyone else who experiences this.......run reparPermissions against your disks prior to upgrading. After having to rebuild the boot disk a couple of times and upgrade, had no problems with 10.7.4 but would always get Missing GL Version after Safari update. Ran DiskUtil and repaired permissions prior to Safari update and finally got it to pdate without causing GL issue.
Still working on how to not need to delete my previous backups when rebuilding machine (apparently TimeMachine always tries to create a new back sparse folder and thus may waste original space from your previous backups).
Thanks to A Brody for the suggestion about repairing disk permissions!

MAJOR Wireless, Safari, Dock & Finder issues after latest updates

I'm having major issues after the latest AirPort, Security Fix and Safari updates in 10.5.2: Safari keeps crashing every hour, Wireless connections time out and Airport occasionally crashes when I try to turn it off/on. Sometimes the systems gets stalled and has lag - I'm not sure if Safari crashing is causing this or it's the system that causes Safari to freeze and crash - often the dock becomes unresponsive too and makes me force shutdown and reboot. I've had to reboot like this more than 4 times today, something isn't right. My questions, therefore:
1) Is there a way to restore my Mac to the state BEFORE the latest upgrades?
2) I can't recall the exact names and versions of the updates, is there a way to access the update log files, so that I can take notes on what actually was updated and when?
3) Is there any other way to access log files that may have more information on the crashes that I've had lately?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Reinis,
In this situation, the first thing I would do is log into a different user account (if you do not have one, create one) and then see if the symptoms persist with the new user account. To directly answer your questions:
1) Is there a way to restore my Mac to the state BEFORE the latest upgrades?
Archive and Install using the OS DVD or by using Time Machine if you have it enabled.
2) I can't recall the exact names and versions of the updates, is there a way to access the update log files, so that I can take notes on what actually was updated and when?
Fire up System Preferences, click on the Software Update icon and then select the Installed Updates tab.
3) Is there any other way to access log files that may have more information on the crashes that I've had lately?
Console, which is in your Applications/Utilities folder.

MBPR wifi issues after latest update to 10.9.2

Hi all,
After the latest update to 10.9.2 my Macbook Pro Retina (1st gen) seems to be having issues re-connecting to wi-fi after I wake it up from sleep. Although I've read stories about wifi-issues with the retina line in general, I've been lucky enough to have mine run pretty smoothly so far. That is until the latest update ... for some reason, this happens EVERY time i close and open my laptop.
And yes, it's a easy fix. Usually all i need to do is to turn off wifi and turn it on. But it's getting slightly annoying having to do that every time.
Has anyone else had this issue? and are there by any chances a solution for this problem?
Appreciate the help!
All the best
Farid

Hello thegreatbeard,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Wi-Fi on your MacBook Pro. I would be concerned about this too.
I recommend following the steps in the section labeled, "Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly" in the article below to resolve an issue like the one you described:

AirPort Extreme PPPoE issues after disconnect

Hi all...
I seem to have an issue with my AirPort.... Brand new, out of the box, I plugged it in and it worked using my old configs (It replaced a Linksys WRT54G) and all was well. I unplugged it when there was a lightning storm coming ( I am on wireless broadband so I have a dish on my roof for the net... did not want it to fry another router... this has happened 3 times even with an APC in line with the ethernet cables). After the storm passed, I plugged it back in and voila... unable to find PPPoE server. Now, the only way I can connect is to connect it through the old Linksys box ( it goes from the dish to the Linksys box set to PPPoE always on to the AirPort via Ethernet). I have performed a hard reset and manually configured it, however it still does not find the AirPort....Any suggestions?

Spent 8 hours last night with same issues. All issues really started after the update. I had just bought the new dual band, set up was smooth, then all **** broke loose after the X.1 update.

Trouble with 4G and other issues after latest update.

To whom it may concern,
After the recent update I have been having the following problems:
I lose 4G in many places where I was receiving great 4G access before.
Battery life seems to have suffered a little, this may be due to 4G hunting.
New software applications were installed like the Caller ID app, and flipboard. I hate when software is installed without my authorization and then cannot be removed. What year do we live in Verizon?
I have heard on this and other forums that a factory reset does not resolve these issues but Verizon claims that it is the final resolution. We should not have to do a factory reset after an update. I understand that there are many variables to consider with all the apps out there but that is what testing is for. That is why we wait for updates from Verizon.
I will attempt a factory reset to resolve my issues. If this does not resolve the issues I will be contacting Verizon about a refund for the 4G access that I am now being denied.
Thanks

Hey AlphaDanger!
The year is 2013 and I read you loud and clear on wanting to make sure your software operates smoothly on your GS3. So, let's make that happen.
Right off the bat, thank you for the details as well as considering a hard reset. But, I'd like to make another recommendation if you have yet to do it. Instead, I'd suggest wiping the cache partition. To do this:
1.) Power off your phone.
2.) Simultaneously hold the volume up key, home key, and power key.
3.) When it vibrates, release only the power key.
4.) When you see the Android recovery menu, wipe cache partition using the volume down toggle and power key to select.
5.) Then select "Reboot System Now".
Please let us know how this goes.

TS4597 My airport extreme has had the latest update and now my mac can no longer find the base station. Everything else works fine on the internet but my mac loses connectivity constantly. This only happened after an update. Help...

Help!! The update on my airport is 6.3 I think. Shoot me!! I'm in graduate school and it's taking me all day to answer one discussion!!

Airport 6.3 utility requires ipv6 local link to work.
see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4597
But older express may not show up even then. you need to install 5.6 utility so you can access them as well.
It is tricky but if you google around there are a number of methods listed. Here is what I do.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so.

Airport no longer working after latest updates

After my latest software updates, the Airport on my 13" Macbook is no longer working.
I can connect to networks and can get full signal from the wireless router in my home, yet none of my browsers can actually connect to the internet.
I've tried multiple wireless connections and none function properly. Suggestions?
I'm currently connected directly to my NETGEAR router via ethernet

Experiencing similar issue.
Wired works forever without any issue. Wireless (airport) works for a while (random 2-60 minutes, could be related to data volume) then gets stuck. At that point getting back to wire (without reseting the airport AP) solves it. Also, cycling the airport client (disable/enable) gets it to work for a few minutes... until it gets stuck again. Other devices (iPhone, iPod touch) connected to the same airport AP do get access while the macbook is stuck.
Thought this could be 11n related since the macbook is the only device running 11n. However, while wireless http/web access is stuck on the macbook one can still perform ftp connections (bit no file transfer as such), pings and/or access the time machine configuration (some of this seems to be randomly working) from that macbook. Not sure whether 11n handles short bursts and large bursts differently?
Finally, the behaviour is the same whether using Safari or Firefox and relaunching eitehr app does not solve it.
Clueless for now.

Battery Life / Recharging issues after latest Update

I bought the Xperia Z2 beginning of April and it was fine. The battery lasted for about 2 days with Active Hotspot continuously running for approx. 18 hours. After updating to the latest software version, the phone runs pretty hot and with Active Hotspot on, while hardly using other programs, the battery is empty after 8 hours, despite having the phone always on the charger. Several times an error message pops up, telling that the phone consumes more power, then the (original) charger is providing! Is that update rather a downgrade? Or is it the intention to get the Hotspot literally hot?

Hi there!! I've been using my Xperia z for the past one year. Till last week I didn't had any problem but now I'm not sure what happened to my mobile.. I have listed all the issues below. I really need your help and support to solve this issue and please get me a permanent fix..
1. Battery is draining too fast(very fast)
2. Mobile is always hot even if I don't use. When start using apps like game, browsing or watch any video, I feel that I'm holding an induction stove in my hand.
3. "Throw" option is not working
4. When I make a call I don't hear anything through earpiece rather I'm using loudspeaker speaker.
Plzzz help me and get me a solution.. I'm afraid to take my mobile to service center.. Please advise what needs to be done..

Music syncing issue after latest update

I'm having issues syncing my music on my iPhone 4 after this latest security update. Some of the files seem to be "stuck" on the phone. They won't remove, others just won't play, I can't add anything to the phone. Etc. SOS!!!

Have you tried re-installing the firmware through Nokia Suite? Remember to backup all your phone contents when prompted by Nokia Suite.

Sync issues after latest update.

I went to sync my ipod today, it told me it needed to update so i let it, once that update was done i noticed that it had removed all of my music from my ipod, annoying but didnt matter because i was just going to leave it to sync all 3207 songs from my pc to the ipod. Clicked on sync on Itunes, and the bar at the bottom doesnt show any music. After telling it to sync all the music and temporarliy have the music show up in the bar bellow, it still failed to sync music. Getting increasingly annoyed about this as every update to IOS or Itunes mucks everything up

Hello,
I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod Touch, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
Hard Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10sec. or until Apple logo appears
Have the latest Version of Itunes
Restart the Computer
Any error messages appear?
Hope that helps!
If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)
Cheers!

Nokia Lumia 920 issues after latest update. Fix in...

Since the last update we are having massive problems on our Lumia 920 from ATT. Bad reception, losing Internet connection, etc.
We have over 30 920 deployed in our company. We did tests with and without the new patch and its like day and night.
Sitting in my office, i have 1-2 bars on the phone with updates, showing 4g, but cannot access any website.Plus constantly losing connection.
On the phone without update I have 2-3 bars, showing LTE and constant internet access.
It is horrible. We first thought it was related to the Access Point Software, but it is definitively the firmware.
Please fix asap. Not good advertising for those awesome phones.

This issue has already been covered on several threads on this forum. The update was found to cause issues on AT&T and was pulled part way through it's roll out. A fresh update is being prepared that fixes the issues. For more information contact AT&T or Nokia US.

Weird Safari issues after latest update

Opening Safari opens Firefox. And searching in Safari browser opens webpage in Firefox browser. I am unable to use Safari at all. Instead any command given in Safari triggers Firefox.

Will it launch at all, please be a little more descriptive. Remember we are not there to see what you are doing. Also which version of OS X is installed?

After latest updates cannot stream from iPad to AppleTV

After latest updates on my New Ipad and Apple TV 2nd Generation, Canot stream video from the iPad to Apple TV.
I Can Stream from my iMac and from MacBook Pro, but not from iPad.
Any Advise?
Thanks.

Hey guys, unfortunately I've had to re-install Mountain Lion to get rid of the issue, but here's my experiences after trying many things and contacting AppleCare...
First, I had Lion and had upgraded to ML. They had me go do the following with limited success:
1) Reset PRAM (no effect)
2) Recovery Disk and repair permissions (no effect)
3) Went to system /Library and User /Library and basically we went through several attempts at removing various files from (/Library/InputMethods, /Library/LaunchAgents, /Library/LaunchDaemons") Once I had essentially removed every file and dragged it into the trash (without deleting), the issue was resolved. So, it seems to point to an application that was not fully supported or giving problems within the ML environment. The plan was to drag them one by one back and do reboot/shutdown until I could isolate the application, but rather than do that, I just did a fresh install to take out any variable that could be present from having to do a Lion/ML upgrade. I was able to put a fresh copy of ML on the computer through the Recovery partition after establishing connection to my router. Everything is working fine now.
Anyway, hope that helps some of you. It was a frustrating experience but seems to point to application issues wih the OS and not the OS itself. I think developers are still rushing to catch up with full ML support and so you might find yourself having many new updates in drivers or applications over the next month.

Netflix will not play on my Mac anymore after latest update...HELP!!

After latest update, Netflix will no longer play. When I select a movie, it prompts me to install Microsoft Silverlight, which I have repeatedly done. Netflix claims the latest MAC update is to blame, not a Netflix issue....PLEASE, any assistance is greatly appreciated.
