Airport Extreme "N" does not reconnect after MBP wakes from standby/sleep

I have a closed network and do not have any problems with the new AirPort "N" base station except this one. When I open the lid on MBP the computer does not pick up the signal. I have my closed AirPort network in my list of Preferred Networks and yet I have to choose "Other..." from the drop down menu and type in the network name and password before to get it to connect. I do not have this problem on my PowerBook so I have only to assume that I have an incorrect setting on my MBP. Any suggestions? Thank You in advance.
MacBook Pro 15" 2.4Ghz 160GB HD Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I had this problem on one of my Airport N units. I deleted the base station from the preferred networks and also from the (I think) two locations from the keychain.
I then connected again and had the Airport added to the keychain again and since then I haven't had the problem.

WIFI does not reconnect after MBP sleeps

When my new MBP Retina wakes up the wifi dies not reconnect. I have to "Turn WIFI off" and back on again. My late 2011 works without a problem on the same netowrk. I have been to an Apple Genius four times. I have even returned the MBP and got a new one. Same problem....
Any suggestions. Could it be the Linksys wifi router? SOuld I get an Apple AirPort Extreme????
THanks

I can not believe it, a new wifi router fixed it (so far)
I've let my Mac slap about 10 times and it reconnected w/o an issue

WIFI does not reconnect after a standby

Since I installed "OSX Mavericks" on my MACBOOK AIR, the wireless network does not reconnect after a reboot or standby. I need to disable the wireless and reactive for the connection resumes!
Thanks for your answer...

Trash your Bluetooth preferences, restart your Mac.
Open Bluetooth Preferences (Apple Menu, System Preferences, Bluetooth)
Remove any audio devices that are shown in the upper section of that list.
Pair your Bluetooth Speaker or headset device and then connect and disconnect it.
Open /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
If the LastA2DPDevice item is present, then you know you have just paired a A2DP device. You need to trash your Bluetooth preferences and restart your Mac again.
The problem is caused by an interaction with Bluetooth and specifically Bluetooth devices that use Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) which is used to stream bluetooth audio from devices such as Bluetooth headsets and Bluetooth speakers.
The problem is caused when the Mac goes to sleep and wakes back up. It tries to connect to the A2DP device that was last used by the Mac. If that device is not powered on or is not in bluetooth range, it will keep trying to connect to that device (for an unknown amount of time). While it is looking for that Bluetooth device, the 802.11 wifi is also looking for the last wireless router or access point and fails to find it.
Why the wifi is unable to reconnect after waking from sleep is not exactly clear because wifi is a different protocol than Bluetooth. One hint is that it only seems to fail with wireless routers that run on the 2.4 Ghz band. That is the same frequency that Bluetooth uses (even though Bluetooth hops through different smaller bands within that frequency.)
I do not have the problem when at home and connected to my Airport Supreme Wireless AC router which is running on the 5 Ghz band.
To prove this, here is what I did...
1. Go to a location where you are having the sleep / wake wireless problem and take your Bluetooth speakers or Bluetooth headphones with you.
2. Now while at that location, Connect to the wireless network there.
3. Turn on the power to your Bluetooth device (speakers or headphones).
4. Turn Bluetooth on and connect to your Bluetooth device.
5. Put your Mac to sleep for 45 seconds (that is enough time for the Macbook to shut down power to Bluetooth.)
6. Wake your Mac back up and you will notice that there is no problem reconnecting back to the wireless network.
7. Now turn OFF the power to your Bluetooth device and put your Mac to sleep for 45 seconds.
You will see that your MacBook will not connect back to your wifi wireless network after it wakes from sleep.
That is because it is looking for your Bluetooth device that it cannot find.
Note that this test is only valid if you are using a Bluetooth device that uses the A2DP protocol. I did my tests with a Bose Soundlink Mini speaker.
I am connecting to a Netgear N300 Wireless Router (WNR2000)

Airport Extreme in extender mode does not reconnect after main router reset.

I have an Airport Extreme 4th Gen (extender). set to extend the signal from an Airport Extreme 5th Gen (main). Whenever the main router resets (after reconfig, etc) the extender does not reconnect. I would have to restart the extender before it will connect again to the network. However, my Airport Express set to extend will automatically reconnect. Is this a settings issue? Please advise.

Ok, well I am hoping you are not doing a re-config of your 5'th gen all the time? This should only be done very rarely... we're talking like less than once a year for many people. Unless there's something else going on there, I wouldn't worry about it if you have to power-cycle the 4'th gen once in a few blue moons.

Airport does not reconnect after standby...

Is anyone having issues w/ wireless not reconnecting after standby? In order to resolve the problem, I have to turn airport off then back on. Most of the time I can get back on using on/off method, but seldomly I have to reboot. This is my config:
SSID is not broadcasted, using capital letters and numbers for SSID Name.
WPA TKIP set for router encryption. WPA Personal selected on Airport.
I don't seem to have this problem on my Macbook running Leopard, so I'm pretty sure it's hardware/driver related to my Macbook Pro. I have to keep tabs on this, but I almost think this problem does not appear when a network SSID is broadcasted and/or unecrypted. It could be my imagination but not sure.
Any ideas or same issues out there?

I always have the same problem; I assume it has something to do with the fact that I regularly switch my cable modem to "standby" when done surfing the internet. Seemingly Airport loses the signal (or whatever) because the modem isn't feeding a signal being in standby mode? When I turn the modem back on, I have to turn Airport back on as well. So far, I've just felt it to be a small inconvenience.

External hard-drive does not reconnect after sleep

Hi everyone
I am trying to use my Energy Saver to SLEEP my iMac after 1 hour. It goes to sleep no problem, but on wake-up, my external USB hard drive does not reconnect. There is also an error message that I didn't disconnect the drive properly. I fear this may be one of Mac OS X's "features". Has anyone encountered the same thing?
On a side note, I also find that my USB keyboard does not always reconnect as well. I use a windows USB mouse that I have connected to wake it from sleep, however my USB keyboard (the small one for Macs), sometimes does not allow me to type unless I unplug it and back in.
Another point of note is that both the HD and the keyboard are connected to the iMac through a 7 port USB hub.

I think this might be the issue. If the iMac is waking back up, it will likely be waking up this HUB, but the HUB might not be re-initialising the connection between OS X and the external drive or the keyboard.
After waking the iMac, if you unplug the external drive from the HUB, then plug it back in again, does OS X pick it up again? Have you tried plugging the external drive directly into the iMac and then testing what the result is?
If you read back on what you've said, you pointed out that you have a USB mouse that you use to wake the iMac from sleep. Is this mouse directly connected to the iMac? If so, it surely can't be a coincidence that a directly connected USB device can wake the iMac from sleep, but any USB devices connected to the iMac via a USB HUB cannot.
I would suggest you test the drive as it is directly connected to the iMac. I would complete the same test with the keyboard too. I think you'll find it's the USB HUB.
I hope this helps.

Broker does not reconnect after db restart

Hi,
we have a enhanced cluster with two brokers running on solaris 10. the ha store is a oracle 10 db. after a db downtime of 10 minutes the cluster could not reconnect to the ha store. we have in the broker logs the following SQLExceptions. it was impossible to use any imqcmd. we had to terminate the two brokers. after starting them everything was running fine, no more exceptions. why do the brokers not reconnect after a db downtime?

Hi Tom,
near the end of the pasted exception it says: Closed Connection.
i think this is the cause of the failure. this is expected because the oracle data store is down. The problem is, that after the db was back online. the broker continued to throw the same exception. i expect, that the broker throws away the closed connections and reopens new ones to continue his work.

TX2500Z touchscreen does not work after Windows7 upgrade from HP specific to S/N, etc on laptop.

My TX2500Z touchscreen does not work after I upgraded to Windows 7. I cannot find any support or drivers, etc. to fix. I bought Windows 7 directly from HP specific to my P/N and S/N on my TX2500Z. Any help? Thanks.

after 2,5 days (spending half a day within the apple shop as well with this problem) i have it all back on track.
i did a lot of different things: trying to remove and reinstall iPhoto; did a SL installation over the old SL I had on my HD; backing up all the data of course before and reformatting my HD and installing a new clean SL version on it + a new clean version of iLife9 with all the updates and than I migrate with migrate assistant all the data and setting with time machine back onto it, but all this didn't work, because it also migrated the error/bug through time machine with it.
so at the end i just installed a brand new, clean SL version on my hard drive, than I did the updates and put all my data, photos, docs, movies, mail, bookmarks, music, etc manual back into the system (drag and drop from my external HD, where i had an exact copy of my internal HD) and did all the settings again in all the different programs.
the only thing i used migrant assistant with time machine for was for the programs. it seems to work now all fine and i even got more free space on my HD, because some of the old stuff i always carried with me but i never used, i didn't take over.
basically everything is clean now. At least i hope and works fine. touch wood!

Express does not reconnect after reboot of Extreme

My extreme is conencted (via ethernet) to my router (bridge mode)
My Express is connected to Extreme to expand wireless network (bridge mode)
However when i reboot the extreme, the Express is no longer visible
I have to reboot as well. is this normal?
Also, logically (as per above config) the extreme & express are part of ONE wireless network
So a device conected will "roam" between the 2 as if it's only 1 wifi point (?)
However when i connect a wireless security camera, it shows me express & extreme seperately (eventhough same name & login)
and I have to choose to which one to connect.
IThis means if it's connected to Express & Express stops working, then
it will NOT got directly to the extreme (eventhough it's well in range)
Plsd to hear
Egon

Airport Express (n) does not reconnect USB drives after reset

I've looked high and low for an answer to this but haven't found anything. I have a USB drive connected to my Airport Express (n). My router "recovers" itself fairly often, probably because of an unreliable DSL link. Once the router has recovered from the dropped outside connection, the attached USB drive no longer appears as shared. I have to go unplug the drive, then plug it in again to make it active. Is this really the expected behaviour? If a drive (or printer?) is attached when the router resets, shouldn't it find and mount the attached device again? Is there setting to control this behaviour?

The AirPort Express base station is only 802.11b/g.
The square AirPort Extreme base station is 802.11b/g/n.

Samsung CLP-315 and Airport Extreme, sporadically does not print

Hi:
I am using MacBook Pro, OS X 10.5.8, Dual-band Airport Extreme with v.7.4.2, and a Samsung CLP-315.
Previously I had Airport Express and had trouble printing. I fixed it with the workaround using HP Jetdirect with address 10.0.1.1:9101. I then upgraded to Airport Extreme and that fix did not work. I deleted the printer from Print & Fax and added again with Bonjour. Since, it has been printing sporadically. Sometimes, it simply does not print. I have tried to pin down what causes it, but I have only been able to consistently reproduce the error when trying to print from Graphic Converter. Other applications print sporadically.
I have tried to download the new drivers from Samsung, but that has not solved it. I have tried to recreate the workaround through HP Jetdirect, but I always get a "printer busy" error when printing (using both 9100 and 9101)
I also tried to run FixAirportPrinter and although the application sees the printer when launched, after running the application the same symptoms remain.
Any help on how to resolve this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rodrigo

This is to say that I have exactly the same problem with a Samsung CLP-310 unit. I have 2 Books as below.
My older powerbook has no problem printing to this printer. My newer Intel unit will not print.
If I open Airport utilities on the 10.4 Powerbook and select "Base Station options" I can see the Samsung printer under USB devices. If I repeat the process on my 10.5 Intel unit and double-click on the Airport, the properties page shows the Samsung CLP-310 but it I go to USB devices they are empty.
What gives? The SAME Airport only prints to a USB printer if it is sent from a Power PC Book?
The Samsung CLP-310 is connected directly to the USB Airport output.

Apple wireless mouse does not reconnect after changing batteries

The wireless mouse on my iMac quit working after I changed batteries. There was no response to mouse clicks, or movement, or scrolling. Eventually I connected a USB mouse, did an orderly shutdown of the system, rebooted, and the mouse started working again.
The long story ...
The first time I encountered this problem was the first time I changed batteries in the Apple Wireless Mouse that came with the iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo I purchased in January 2010. (The OS is 10.6.2 without updates.) I switched the mouse on, the green light on the bottom of the mouse blinked for awhile (at least a minute), but clicking or moving the mouse got no response. The new batteries were Eneloop 1.2v rechargeables. I tried clicking and moving the mouse several times over a period of ten or fifteen minutes, nothing.
I started searching the web for clues about what to do and maybe a half hour or so later I tried the mouse again and it worked.
A few days later I wanted to see if the problem was reproducible. I don’t remember now whether I removed the batteries and reinserted them or just power cycled the mouse, but again the mouse quit working. The green light would blink for awhile, about a minute, then would go off completely. I took this to mean the mouse was searching for the Bluetooth network, not finding it, and giving up. Over the period of half an hour or more I tried switching the mouse off and back on several times. The green light would blink, but nothing more.
I started searching for tips about reconnecting an Apple wireless mouse after changing batteries. I ran across a (2005) discussion on MacRumors forums titled “Wireless mouse troubleshooting problem...” The symptom was a little different, the mouse was partially functional. In this discussion some contributors thought weak batteries could be to blame. So I replaced the rechargeable batteries with new alkaline batteries. Still no go.
I attached a USB mouse and looked at the Bluetooth preferences pane. I was surprised to see the Apple Wireless Mouse was listed there with status paired and connected. Still at this point switching the mouse off and on would produce blinking light on the mouse, but no functionality.
I tried various things in the Bluetooth preferences to see if I could get the mouse connection to restart. When I tried to delete the mouse connection there was an alert saying this was the only mouse connected, was I sure I wanted to disconnect. I said yes, but nothing changed in the Bluetooth preferences pane. I tried unchecking the Bluetooth “On” box, etc. Eventually I only succeeded in losing response to the keyboard as well.
I attached a USB keyboard, shutdown the system, and rebooted. I didn’t know if having the USB keyboard and mouse plugged in would interfere with the wireless devices, but it did not. After the reboot both the wireless keyboard and the mouse were functional again.
Since then I have tried removing the batteries briefly a couple of more times to see if the problem would recur. I actually put the rechargeable batteries back in. Both times the connection was remade as soon as I clicked the mouse. I also now have seen the Apple support article about setting favorite Bluetooth devices http://support.apple.com/kb/TA21371 . I'll try that if this issue comes up again.

Hi, is this a question" Post?
or are you just offering an insight into your Mouse Issue?
Generally and at times we all have little idiosyncrasies appearing with the running of our Macs.
I use the same Logitech BT with my MBP. MB & iBook..(not at the same time) Only ever had one issue
and the cure was to completely Delete the mouse from BT -> Repair Permissions & Reboot then Re Install the BT mouse..Ihave just put a new set of batteries in the Logitech (only 2nd set ever)...L

Airport Extreme Card does not fit into my laptop.

I recently purchased an Apple iBook G4 and a separate Airport Extreme Card. Maybe I'm just Mac-illiterate, but I can't figure out how to install the card. I've studied the directions in the manual and online but the diagrams don't seem to correspond with my laptop. For example, my laptop does not have the grey wire or metal bracket that are shown in Figure 6 at http://www.info.apple.com/usen/cip/pdf/ibkg4/ibg4-apc-cip1.pdf. In fact, that whole area in my laptop looks very different from the way it looks in the image. The card doesn't fit/snap in anywhere under the keyboard.
Am I totally missing something? Is the card supposed to be installed elsewhere? Did I perhaps purchase the wrong card?
Any support you can offer will be greatly appreciated. Hopefully my question isn't too stupid!

Current generation iBook G4's have a built in Airport Extreme interface - they don't make use of a user-installable Airport Extreme card.
Does your Mac have an Airport menu item (the fan-shaped icon near the right side of the MacOS menu bar)? If so, it already has an installed Airport interface.

Airport Extreme card does not see any networks...help!

I have a home network that is working fine - 2 linksys routers with WDS set up... it all works great - an Ibook g4 running 10.3 and has an Airport Extreme card connects flawlessly everyday. As does an old G4 powerbook with an old airport card.
however, I have this dual g4 with 10.4.3 running, and a recently-installed airport extreme card.
When I turn airport "on" it never sees our network. And it doesn't see my neighbors' networks, either, which are also always visible.
I can, howevr, connect via ethernet to the router that is somewhat nearby. that networking is fine...I can get on wired, but not wirelessly.
I've installed the 2005-1 update, and have run Software Update as well to see if there are any other patches/updates necesary. so as far as I can tell, I am up to date.

I am at a loss. Is there anything else I can do before writing off the card as a bad card - or perhaps the logic board is faulty?
I hope there is a simple solution to this. I appreciate your expert help.

Go back and recheck the Airport Extreme card installation. Make sure you plugged the connector for the internal Airport antenna into its socket on the Airport Extreme card itself - and make sure the plug is fully seated into its socket (none of the metal sleave should be showing).

New Airport Extreme (2014) does not see USB Drive

Just fired up my new 2014 Airport Extreme and attached a Toshiba 3 TB USB Drive. My new (late 2013 iMac) does not see the new drive in Disk Utility.
The Extreme works in all other ways; ie, as a router, as a wireless node.
It came to me formated as a Windows drive, so I attached it directly to my MacBook Pro (which saw the drive) and reformated it as a Mac Drive (Journaled, GUILD). It showed up just fine on the MacBook Pro desktop.
When I reattach it to the Airport Extreme, it still does NOT show up in Disk Utility on the iMac.
Help Please

When I reattach it to the Airport Extreme, it still does NOT show up in Disk Utility on the iMac.
That drive will not show up in Disk Utility on the Mac.....since the Toshiba hard drive becomes a network drive when it is attached the AirPort Extreme.
Disk Utility will not display a network drive. It will only display drives that are connected directly to your iMac via USB, FireWire, etc.
Check using AirPort Utility to see if the AirPort Exteme recognizes the drive.
Open AirPort Utility, click the AirPort Extreme icon, then click Edit
Click the Disks tab at the top of the next window that appears
The drive will appear here if it is recognized by the AirPort Extreme.
In the example below, my WD Drive is connected to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme.
