Airport will not turn back on after waking up, slow connections

So...
Occasionally when I wake my iMac (2.8 GHz aluminum running 10.5.5 and all other updates) up from being asleep my Airport turns off by itself. No matter how many times I click to turn it on it never comes back on. Logging out does nothing, relaunching Finder does nothing. The only way I have found to fix it is to shut down or restart it. Oh, I am connecting to an older b/g Airport Express.
I assumed this was my only issue until I looked at all the reports of slow connection speeds. I realized that things can get very slow sometimes, but my connection bars in the little Airport icon never go down, they stay at a full signal.
And I can't video chat in iChat. With anyone using anything. Go figure.

For the time being I think I'm just going to plug my modem directly into the ethernet port. I can't stand that this ******** is happening with a brand new iMac when I just got done dealing with a fried iMac G5. Is Apple ever going to make another iMac that doesn't have something wrong with it?
If anyone knows of any fixes or other helpful information I would greatly appreciate it.

After charging overnight
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 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.

Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.

27" imac will not turn disply on after waking up from sleeping

I have 27" imac with 2nd monitor attached. when in sleep mode the 2nd monitor will wake up but the imac itself will not turn the screen on. (what is funny is that i can log in but the only monitor i can actually see is my 2nd one.) i must play with the power button several times to either get the imac to reboot or to wake up. any fix out there?

I have had this same problem with my mid 27inch mac 2011. I recently yesterday took it to the genuis bar so they could try to give me a solution. I showed the technicians many threads with my same problem and they acted as if I was crazy and the issue was absurd/ non valid. This problem only started happening when I upgraded to lion. I suppose to get the coputer back in a couple of days. The onl god thing I had going was all the kernal panics that were listed because of the machine having to be restarted everytime. I will provide any informatio they give me.

Tour will not turn back on after period of inactivity

Hello,
My Tour will not turn on after about 2 weeks of inactivity. The battery was stored in it at appx 40% (I realize this was probably a mistake...).
When plugged into the charger, the red light goes on for appx 10 secs, then turns off (whether battery is in or out).
Several battery pulls have not made a difference.
Phone has been plugged in for over an hour now, with no result.
Tried putting the battery in with the phone plugged/unplugged.
Plugging phone into PC USB tries to install the drivers (so it's def not fried)
Thank you in advance for ANY help
Wesley

Yes I was going to suggest the same thing. Either place a friend's in your device or take it into your carrier's store to see if another battery does the trick

Display will not come back up after waking up Pro

Several weeks ago I increased the Pro's memory from 2 to 4GB. Since that time when I wake up the Mac, the display, (Westinghouse) will be all white. I then must turn it off and back on after that it looks OK. The increased memory might not have anything to do with the problem.

The obvious question is, if you go back to the original 2 GB configuration, does the problem go away?

External Display will not turn back on after sleep

Just bought a new MBP last week and gave my wife the MB. I typically attach to an external 24" display and run in closed clamshell mode. I have been doing it for quite some time with no issues. Now with the new MBP if the energy saver kicks in and turns off the display, and/or the energy saver puts the computer to sleep when I attempt to wake it up the display flashes then goes blank. There is no way to turn it back on. When I open the clamshell the internal display will only show some random pixels and a white line at the top of the screen. There is no way to correct it unless I shut down the machine.
I am running with the Nvidia card, not the internal Nvidia. If I manually put the computer to sleep it will wake normally with no screen issues. It will also not act up if the external display is not connected.
Any help or suggestions of a setting I might have wrong that would cause this?

It is a Gateway FHD2400. Connected from mini display to HDMI. My previous MB was connected to the same monitor for the last year with 0 issues. It was connected mini dvi to VGA.
The issue is strange because it only happens when the computer turns off the screen or sleep. When I put it in sleep it doesn't happen.

First gen Macbook pro will not turn back on after grey screen of death

Hi, i have a first generation Macbook Pro. As i was browsing the web, my computer all the sudden froze and the "grey screen of death" appeared and shut of my computer. After, it tried to restart, but it wont get past the CD rom or hard drive noise it makes once you press the power button. I hear the noise fully cycle once, then it restarts the noise and keeps skipping. Once its done, the computer IS on, but the screen is black and I cannot do anything. Please help! Ive never dealt with thins kind of problem and Im sort of a noob with computers. Is the computer fried? It is after all 7 years old, and I use it daily.

After the startup sound (be precise) after the sound press the shift Key until the apple appear.
If that wont work. Try an SMC reset
Then try a PRAM reset
This procedures are on apple webpage

My iPod shut off randomly and will no longer turn back on. I plugged it in to charge it, but after several hours it will not turn back on. What should I do?

My iPod turn off randomly. I plugged it in to the charger, and after several hours, it still will not turn on. I even plugged it into my computer and pulled up iTunes, where it showed up on the screen as plugged in, but still it will not turn back on. Any suggestions on what I should do?

- First try resetting the iPOd:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes, first from backup and if still problem to factory defaults/new iPod.

Airport turns off Intermittently, will not turn back on?

Hello!
I have a black Macbook that I bought in late July of 2008. I love my computer, and since getting it for school my entire family has all switched to Apple products.
I am having an issue with my Airport Card. Basically, it turns off at random and will not turn back on when I click on the "fan" and select "Turn Airport On." I have to shut down (not restart) my computer in order to get the card to work. Sometimes it takes two or three times shutting the computer down for Airport "bars" to come back on.
If I shut it down and the "fan" does not appear upon restart and I click on it, it reads "no airport card installed."
My frustration is that this happened to me about 8 months ago and I had the airport card replaced, at the suggestion of a Mac genuis at my local Apple store. I have had no problems until about 2 weeks ago, when this started happening again. It is so annoying, especially when I am using the internet for school work. I would really like to not have to purchase an entire new computer over this, so I appreciate any feedback you all have.
There are other similar discussion threads like this, but they have been archived.
Thanks for your help!

Sounds like you have a power surge and that tripped the breaker, however your battery should have worked, perhaps it's not charged.

Now wifi will not turn back on automatically in the morning after being turned off all night. Use to be ok before now. Is it the new update 7.1? Help

Wifi will not turn back on in the morning after being turned off all night, it use to work for years. Is it the new 7.1 ?

Yes that what I mean, after the phone has been turned off all night, when I turn it back on the morning the wifi will not turn on by itself. Eventually by turning off and on the main phone switch and the wifi in settings it sometimes come back on! Then I'm ok for the rest of the day even when I leave the house and come back it's ok. Only first thing in the morning, strange that it doesn't wake up like it use too.
Thank you
