Airport Update Problems-Where's Apple?

I am not here to flame Apple but I know they have Mods on this board that should be able to answer my question.
Is there an official message from Apple on what users like me should do now that my $2000 laptop is no longer useful for me when I travel?
I can not stay connected to any wireless signal for any period of time since the first Airport Update. Obviously, since Apple came out with a second Airport update shortly after, they realize there are problems.
Is is really that difficult for Apple to produce an update that will roll back my laptop to its original state without re-installing the OS?

Since the 2nd last update I haven't been able to connect to WPA networks at all. I just get an error message and that's that. The latest update didn't solve the issue either.
I've made several posts about my problems with the Macbook Pro airport card not working at all, and its problems with Airport Express, but I've never really gotten any good response.
Thanks Apple!

MacBook Pro & Latest Airport Update Problem

Hi, I just ran the software update and installed the latest Airport update - AirPort Extreme Update 2008-001 for Tiger , and it's conflicting with my system, giving me CPU spikes...everything was fine before I installed the latest update. Is there a way I can go back to what was previously there? How do I install the older Airport files?

If you don't have a backup you can restore, then the only way to revert to your previous system is the following:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

Airport Express Problems when using Apple 27 " cinema display with Macbook

I have recently got an apple cinema 27" display and when I connect it to my macbook and wake the computer up I cannot connect to the airport network. I can connect to wlan-ap, whatever that is, but my wifi barely sees my network. When I re-awaken the computer in normal mode, without he cinema display, the network can be connected to easily. Also, when I run the airport utility while using the cinema screen, you cannot see the airport express, but without the screen, you can.
This is a weird wifi problem,=.
Any help is appreciated.

Problems after Airport Update

I own a 2ghz/2gb MBP running 10.4.7. After I installed the latest Airport Update 001, my computer has been acting up. The MBP now has major issues connecting to my graphite airport, though my eMac (10.3.9 w/latest security update) does not have any issues. The graphite airport has WEP enabled, but the MBP refuses to keep the password in the keychain. Everytime I try to connect to my network (upon wake up or start up) I receive an error stating that there is a problem joining the network. After about 10 seconds, though, it connects. Also, it doesn't recognize that the airport is one of my "trusted networks." Before connecting it says, "none of your trusted networks could be found, would you like to join (my network name)."
What I have done so far:
Repaired permissions.
Created a new user (has same problems).
Shutdown and restarted all of my computers/router/modem at least 5 times.
Put the WEP password in the keychain manually.
Changed the Airport's channel a few times as well.
MacBook Pro 15", Powerbook 12" G4, eMac G4 & iMac G3 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

After countless nightmares trying to connect to my home network, and one kernel panic, I zapped the update with AppZapper. No problems after that.
Apple, I'm sorry ,but I think you got this latest SU wrong!

After Airport Update... Problems....

Two problems to report after the AirPort Update today:
1) On battery power, when 23% remains it jumps down to random percentages. After two tests, it jumped down to 0% and 19%. When charging, it went from 0% to 30% on the charger for 5 minutes and after a reset. Any ideas what is going on? Otherwise, the battery runs down as normal.
2) AirPort signal is randomly dropping at different times. Thoughts?
Thanks in advance for your help concerning this issue.
Much appreciated....
J Trainer

Can't tell you much about the battery problem but as far as the airport are you talking about the Airport Etreme Security update?
If so, when my signal has jumped all over the place on mIne, I turned Airport off and then turned my modem off and disconected power to my Airport extreme for about a minute. Then I would reconnect and turn my modem back on and restart Airport on my MBP.
Then ithe signal was excellent and no problems.
I hope this helps and good luck with the battery issue.
I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL APPLE FIGURES OUT HOW TO COME UP WITH A BATTERY THAT CAN PERFORM AS WELL AS ITS HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE.

Problem with latest -004 AirPort Update

Hello: Downloaded and installed the 10/26 AirPort 004 update on a Early 2008 Mac Pro directly connected to the latest APE(n). Internet still wotks fine but I cannot access the APE using the AP utility--no devices seen. Wasn't this the problem with the -003 update???

If the file appears in HD/Library/Updates, then delete it and try updating again.
Recently, I installed third party software that trashed OS X 10.5.5 and I was forced to re-install the original OS X 10.5.2 (CD) as a fresh new install.
After the install, the software update OS X 10.5.5 Combo would not Validate. The download version in dmg format also failed verification.
I re-installed 10.5.2 again and ran into the exact same problems.
For the third time, I again installed the original 10.5.2, this time I used Disc Utility to check the drive, this found problems with permissions in this new fresh install and was duly repaired.
TechTool Deluxe (AppleCare Protection Plan) was then used to check that everything was indeed OK.
Screensaver was then turned off along with Energy Saver prior to the Software Update and a successful validated update to 10.5.5 resulted.
When updating the rest of the software everything updated properly except for the Java Update which would not validate.
I set Software Update to ignore the Java Update and again, used Disc Utility which again found permission problems that had to be repaired.
I then downloaded the dmg version of Java Update which installed without a hitch.
Software Updates appear to be Apple's achilles heel, but no worse than any other OS.
Unfortunately, the slightest glitch will compromise a software download or it's installation from any source, one has absolutely no control of this process except for pushing buttons.
The best download software I have used is Star Downloader, for Windows, this downloads from a number of servers simultaneously then re-assembles the separate downloads as one file. I have never had it fail.
I no longer use any of Microsoft's hardware or software, I am so happy with my iMac and Apple's efforts.
I will follow your post with interest.

Double problem: AirPort Utility 5.3.1 & Time Machine & AirPort Updater 1.0

Few days ago. I updated the AirPort Utility 5.3.1. But then I cannot setup my old 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station (mushroom). AirPort Utility 5.3.1 can detect my AirPort Extreme Base Station: the name, IP Address, Version which is 5.5.1 and AirPort ID.
Every time I clicked manual setup or continue, it reported "An error occurred while reading the configuration. Please make sure your Apple wireless device is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again (-6765)."
Today, more trouble. After installed the Time Machine and AirPort Updater 1.0. Not even problem not fix the problem and I can't re-install 10.5.2 update combo.
Got error message "You cannot install Mac OS X Update Combined on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
Repair disk permission help at all.
Any methods can solve the above 2 problem please?
Thanks

I can help you with the first problem, as I experienced it myself. Airport Utiity cannot read your old "mushroom" base station until its firmware is upgraded to version 5.7. Because the Utility cannot configure it, you can download this and apply it directly:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/airportextremefirmwar eupdate57formacosx.html
Once applied, Airport Utility will configure the AEBS just fine.

Mac OSX 10.5.7 and GMAx3100: NO UPDATES!! Why Apple don't fix this problem?

I update yesterday to mac osx 10.5.7 my macbook with gma x3100. Exposè in VERY SLOW since 10.5.0 (on tiger will work perfectly), opengl performance are very poor respect gma950 and it is incredible!!!
why apple ignore us? why gmax3100 users can't use exposè because is very very slow and not fluid?
Apple fix this problem, it is RIDICOLOUS.

Man... gmax3100 have a POOR opengl performance under Mac Osx Leopard in 2d. It is NOT my problem but it is a known problem. Try to run some benchmark with gma950 and gma x3100.
Macbook c2d 2.2 opengl performance x3100: 23.28
MacMini cd 1.6 opengl performance gma950: 184.76
it is a know problem:

ecc.
exposè make 40fps and it is NOT fluid like a nvidia or ati card. Exposè is a simple animation, under arch linux and geforce3 (2001) is more more fluid respect leopard... and respect to tiger.
with this hack:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver Compositor -dict deferredUpdates 0
exposè is much MORE fluid so it is a driver problem (because with tiger there's no problem!!)
I have NO problem with my macbook.

Airport Update and New Problems

Every since I exposed my rock stable mac to the last airport update and system update, I have had some connectivity problems with my airport. I cannot get Back To My Mac to work. I can't print off of my USB connected to the airport. I went into Airport set up and the airport does not recognize the printer. I tried to get on my desktop mac in the other room, and can't log on. I can't see my wife's computer sitting across from me. Should I be looking at a different problem, or is this a up-date conundrum?

I'm still experiencing these problems with the 7.4.2 firmware upgrade. I think there may be a problem with the computer's Airport card, not with the base station. Perhaps the 7.4.2 firmware has nothing to do with it. Maybe it's a problem with an OS X update. Sometimes, inexplicably the internet will go offline for a few minutes. During this time not only my network (coming WiFi from my Airport Extreme Base Station) but also all of my neighbor's networks suddenly disappear. A few minutes later everything returns to normal. Also during this time my ISP remains online; there is no problem with the ISP. The MacBook is the only device that seems to "think" that all internet networks are down. Another big tip off is during this time the Airport utility fails to recognize my base station at all. It doesn't even see it... period. If this were an ISP problem the Base Station would still appear as visible to the AirPort Utility.

Has ayone experienced any problems withe latest apple tv update

who has experienced problems withe latest apple tv update???

Welcome to the Apple community.

Hi,
I recently got myself an apple iphone 5s (factory unlocked) phone from the US. However on using the same in India with Vodafone, i am facing a problem where the connectivity keeps switching to EDGE most of the time. I have a 3G plan but most of the time it switches automatically to EDGE. Thats when i have to either switch Airplane mode - On/Off and then it acts normal. Any permanant solutions to fix this problem?

Return the iPhone personally or via friend/relative/co-worker who is in
the US. The warranty is valid only in the country of original purchase - the USA
in this case. Apple will not accept international shipments for evaluation nor
will Apple ship out of the country after repair/replacement.
How did the iPhone from the US get to you in India? Reverse that process to
get it back to the US so someone can take it into Apple.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
