Airport will not switch on after waking up

I have a new iMac 20" flat panel. After a short sleep the computer wakes up fine and airport is switched on. After a long sleep it stays switched off and will not turn on, even manually. System reboot turns airport on again.
I have no issues with network connectivity (once airport is on!)
Any advice please?

Hello,
Try deleting this file; com.apple.airport.airportutility.plist
/Users/YourName/Libary/Preferences.
Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. See if Airport wakes.
What is your internet configuration? Airport Express/Base Station/Router ... ???

Stuffer, Welcome to the discussion area!
If you have a new iMac you have an Intel-based iMac and should post your question in the Intel-based iMac discussion area.
This is the discussion area for the much older iMac G4.

Airport will not turn on after Verizon software installation

I recently installed Verizon Wireless - VZ Access software on my MacBook Pro to access the internet via cell service. Somehow that installation wiped out my dial-up configuration (reset up successfully) and perhaps my Airport Extreme, which shows up in the menu as "Not configured." Verizon tells me that they can't help me reset my Airport because it will not turn on. I'm sure the modem is functional...works with my husband's iMac 20 using his Airport. Network Preferences tells me that the Airport status is OFF, but when I click on the Airport and select "Automatic" in the location menu, airport status reverts to "Inactive" and "Turn Airport On" is grayed out.

Problem solved by AppleCare tech. Create a new location for my Airport and reestablish the configuration.

Iphone 4s will not switch on after an app store update?

after a 'regular' app store update, - the facebook app to be precise, the update completed, the circle showiung update progress turned to 'open', then phone screen went blank, then apple logo appeared, and then went blank, then apple logo appeared, then went blank etc etc etc.
tried the soft reboot, by holding down power on button & home button at the same time, but this then told me to plug into i-tunes.
did this, and it stated iphone is in 'recovery mode' it will need to be restored.
tried but this failed (Error 9).
H E L P - please
thanks

hi i have the problem tried hard reset but no joy

What might my problem be if my display will not come on after waking the computer from sleep or powering it on?

When I try to wake the MBP from sleep (opening the lid, pressing spacebar, or pressing power button), the computer display doesn't come on. The light on the front shows it is awake but there is no display or backlight though the caps lock lights up. I have tried an SMC and PRAM reset to no avail. I tried to start up in safe mode but now as soon as the screen comes up to select the user the display goes out and I don't know how to get it to stop trying to boot up in safe mode. Any suggestions as to what the problem might be and some possible solutions?

I'm looking for a voicemail app that will automatically switch over after normal business hours and play an alternate voice-mail message. Does this currently exist?

Voicemail is through your carrier and on their equipment.
It's function and features is set by them, not your phone.

I installed a new wifi router and airport will not connect automatically to it. It sees the network but will not connect unless I tell it to.

I installed a new wifi router and airport will not connect automatically to it. It sees the network but will not connect unless I tell it to. I can't find anywhere in the utility or network preferences that will allow me to choose this router as the default. How do I fix this? BTW I'm using Lion.

Are there any previous networks that you have used that have the same password as Molly? YES
Using System Preferences > Network > AirPort Advanced again, you need to remove any listings of previous networks that used the same password as Molly. Click the name of the network and click the - (minus) button at the bottom of the list of connections.
Also delete any other networks (except Molly at the top of the list) that might have used the same name...Molly in the past.
Delete any other networks that you no longer need so that your Mac will search for networks more quickly
Click OK, then click Apply
Open KeyChain Access and look for a listing of any old networks that you no longer need. Click to highlight the name of the network, then click the Delete Key on your computer.
Then look for any old networks that might have used the name Molly in the past and do the same for them.
Then look for any old networks that might have used the same password as the password for your "new" Molly network and delete them in the same way
Click the KeyChain Access menu just next to the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the computer screen
and then click KeyChain First Aid
Enter the main administrator password for the Mac you are using and highlight the Repair button. Then click Start. You will see a message that repairs have been completed
Quit Keychain Access
Power down the entire network...all devices...order is not important
Power up the modem first, then your main router, the other devices one at a time
Log on to Molly and see if the Mac remembers it after a few tries. If not, I'm afraid that you will need to change the name of the wireless network and password on your router due to corruption issues on the Mac. You have done everything possible without re-installing the complete operating system.

Power button will not switch printer off

I have owned HP products for over thirty years, with little in terms of serious problems. I am rather confused why the power button on my deskjet 8600 plus will not switch off the printer. When I reort to powering off from the wall socket this results in an errror message on re-powering, saying that powering off from wall socket could damage the printer. But there appears to be no fixes? The machine is less than a year old so would appreciate some support.

Hey @Angus844,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that your power button is non responsive on your 8600 machine. I know you stated that you have a Deskjet 8600 but that may be a typo as HP manufacturers an Officejet 8600 Plus. I am going to provide you with troubleshooting steps for the Officejet 8600 Plus model. Be sure to correct me if these steps don't seem to coincide with your model.
It definitely appears that you are experiencing 'sleep mode' or 'power issues'. I am going to provide you with a support document that should resolve this issue for you:
The HP Printer Won't Turn On or Respond When the Power Button is Pressed
Be aware that Solution three: Make sure that the power supply is compatible with the printer, is a generic printer step. You should just have a power cable with no adaptor that goes straight from the printer into a wall outlet. The only lights for power that you should see on your model printer is the green power button on the front of the product.
If your printer is turning on and functioning, even for a period of time, than your issue does not appear to be power cord related. Therefore, after ensuring that the steps provided in the document above are completed I would like you to run a Firmware Update for your printer.
The Firmware Update for your printer can be found at:
HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer - N911g Drivers
After selecting the Operating System of your computer you need to select the Firmware option to download and run.
Please let me know if these steps resolved your issue. Good luck!

My iPod froze fully charged on the lock screen for 5 minutes, then went off and will not switch back on?

My iPod froze fully charged on the lock screen for 5 minutes, then went off and will not switch back on?

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.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
