Anyone else having trouble w/ airport after today's update?

Got a message that there was an Airport update today so I downloaded it (unfortunately, I didn't write down what version it was and don't know how to see what I've recently installed). Suddenly an otherwise robust internet connection is plagued with dropouts and slow connections. I get bursts of normal activity followed by bouts of 2-3 minute pauses/timeouts. Airport strength has gone from a consistent "4 bars" to sometimes 3 and the router is only 6 inches away. This has not been a problem until just tonight and I only downloaded and installed the update 4 hours ago so I'm laying the blame diectly at the update's doorstep. I have cycled the power to both the router and modem as well as restarting the Macbook. No luck. Can I somehow rollback the update? Anyone experiencing this issue?

I think the problem is the Airport Uitlity version 5.21. I installed 5.21 on my Windows XP computer. After installing, I got a nice WiFi connection, but I could not obtain a DHCP lease. If I plugged in with a CAT5 connection, I did get a DHCP lease.
I un-installed 5.21, re-installed 5.0 from the CD that came with the Aiport Extreme Base Station, then upgraded to 5.1 from the Apple web site. After that, getting a DHCP lease over WiFi worked again.
I have not tried installing the Airport Utility on my Macbook, since ther are already so many WiFi headaches with the Macbook, I didn't want to add another thing to the mix.

    Is anyone else having issues with airplay after the Lion update? It sees the libaray but won't connect...

    I'm having the same issue.  So far all lion has done for me is make all my microsoft office documents un-readable until I upgrade (about $150) and lose my home share capabilities...can anyone assist with this?

  • Anyone else having trouble with Elements after upgrading to Yosemite???

    I recently upgraded my Mac to Yosemite and now my Elements 12 is not working correctly!!!!  Anyone else having this issue or have any answers?

    I would suggest you trash the prefs file so that they get automatically re-built on next launch.
    Quit PSE12
    Launch Finder and find the user Library by clicking the Go menu whilst holding down the Optn (alt) key (n.b. the library is hidden until you press the optn key) and inside the Library folder select the preferences folder. Then trash the following files:
    com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Paths

  • Is anyone else having trouble burning CDs after installing Snow Leopard?

    I received Snow Leopard plus iLife and iWork for Christmas and installed it on Wednesday. I burned two playlists to four CDs on iTunes Tuesday but today when I tried to do the same things using the exact same discs and the following message popped up on iTunes: "Disc burner or software not found." This is obviously happening because of Snow Leopard or the new iLife and iWork I installed. Any thoughts? How can I fix this? Do I need to install something else to be able to burn discs again? I need help really fast because I need these CDs right away. Thanks.

    No to the subject question. However, I've only burned boot discs for DiskWarrior and a Snow Leopard install disc, not music ones. Launch System Profiler in Utilities and select Disc Burning under Hardware. On my iMac it reports:
    *OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5630A:*
    +Firmware Revision: 1AHN+
    +Interconnect: ATAPI+
    +Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)+
    +Cache: 2048 KB+
    +Reads DVD: Yes+
    +CD-Write: -R, -RW+
    +DVD-Write: -R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, RW
    +Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO+
    +Media: To show the available burn speeds, insert a disc and choose View > Refresh+
    You should see something similar or your burner's gone south and that's a hardware issue.

    Anyone else having trouble with FCPX crashing after the OSX update? It NEVER crashed until the update. The night before last it crashed 20 times in 45 minutes. I can't finish my project because of it.

    I don't understand the question. I am simply editing.
    There are some patterns of crashes that suggest possible causes and fixes; some users report crashes when FCPX is in the process of loading; others while importing/exporting, etc. Asking to narrow the list of possibilities.
    Suggest starting with three things:
    1) Update the software from the APp Store  if need be.
    2) Trash preferences.
    3) Repair permissions.

  • Mid 2011 21.5 inch iMac with lion   video=freeze, will not restart for 30-60 minutes , today it took 14 hours before power button would restart it , is anyone else having a long restart after this problem?

    Look in Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) and see if you have any runaway processes using a lot of %CPU.
    I would also strongly recommend running Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode. If it reports errors you can Google them or post them here.

  • Anyone else having trouble with Hard Candy Cases?

    I ordered a Hard Candy Case back on 3/22. I subsequently received an e-mail from HCC stating that my case order was changed to the newer 'Kickstand' model. Fine. Just want my case. Now after 60 days of being on the market, I still don't have my case even though HCC debited my Paypal account on 3/22. I can't seem to get a response from them either.
    Anyone else having trouble with HardCandy? I hope I'm an isolated case (sorry!), but I am curious if there is a trend.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    After going away does it come back randomly too? if that is the case, maybe to do with trackpad sensing your gesture correctly?

  • Anyone else having trouble with their iPad disconnecting from wifi since 6.0.1 update

    Anyone else having trouble with their iPad dropping wifi about once a week since 6.0.1 update?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Is anyone else having trouble seeing their screens when you are outside?

    Is anyone else having trouble seeing their screens when you are outside?

    When is sunlight, absolutely. Not a problem with the Droid Ultra but rather all phones.
    You ever see the commercial about the Nook devices. The have a special screen to reduce glare allowing you to see your screen in sunlight.
    As far as I know, companies have not implemented this on anycell phone.
    There are after market anti-glare screen protectors
    Check Amazon or eBay, they should be relatively inexpensive.
    Good Luck
