Bug fix for Mac book wireless - problem solved!

Aparantly there is a rather large number of folks out there who've discovered this dillema with wireless not working very well at this point on the Macbook.
Well, I can attest there is one very good solution out there for this issue. This application called Sonar Theater from www.sunray.tv includes a bug fix for the wireless connection issues with Macbook in their latest 1.5 release of Sonar Theater.
I downloaded it, put it into my start up folder and waalaa! problem solved. I've haven't any more issues with dropped wireless since - it's been running constantly for over 2 weeks now.
I haven't even attempted to touch my router configuration - don't need to.

Welcome to the better life of Macs. I am using Sonar Theater too and it's been working very well for me. In fact, I'm getting hooked on just texting a message to my Mac book to fire up user sessions now. I think if you give the Mac Book some time however, you'll find that there really is no comparison to PC's. Your life overall is going to just keep getting better as you dig in to the resources available to new Mac users.
I'm sure it seems confusing to PC users at first, but here's how to set up any application as part of your startup sequence. It really is extremely easy and simple compared to the PC world. Oh and by the way, in reality, Mac users refer to this as your login sequence. So, at login time, you can do a multitude of different things for each user account you might want to set up. Naturally, you can choose to share or not share applications and data between these user accounts on your Mac too....
Mac OS X 10.3 or later
1. Log in as the user who wishes to have a login item or as an admin user.
2. Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
3. Choose Accounts from the View menu.
4. Click the name of the user.
5. Click the Startup Items button
6. Click the "Add {+}" button.
The item you selected will automatically open the next time you log in.
there are several ways to get good info from the apple community on tips and tricks as well. you should just try the apple os x web site...here,

happy mac-ing!

  • Since moving to Maverick and the new updated of Keynote, I have a constant problem when typing in a text box, the program crashes. Is there a bug fix for this. Drives me nuts.

    Since moving to Maverick and the new updated of Keynote, I have a constant problem when typing in a text box, the program crashes. Is there a bug fix for this. Drives me nuts. Like many who can type quite quickly but at secretarial level, the text box freezes, nothing works and you know what's coming...crash!
    This is most annoying. Is there bug fixes for this. Apparently I have the current updates and this problem still exists. Is it a Maverick bug or Keynote.

    How did you install Mavericks, as an update ontop of the previous OS or did you wipe the drive and install clean?

    Try to reset the iPod by  pressing the home and sleep button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data doing a reset, but it can clear some glitches after installing new software or apps.

  • Any ideas how to fix my mac book pro to canon pixma mp640 printer connection?

    Anyone have any ideas how to fix my mac book pro to canon pimxa mp640 printer link? The two are connected manually yet the ! remains on the 'print' page next to the printer name. it was working fine until i changed the ink cartridges. Without the wireless password - which I've never had and don't supposedly need as it's not a wireless connection, I am being prevented from resuming printing.

    If it's on a windows network you have to enter your (windows) log in (name/password) credentials.
    This should be a 1 time event. It will remember it thereafter.

    try this;
    open disk utility - verify disk permissions - repair disk permissions if errors are found.  might take an hour or less - depending on how much errors needs to be repaired.
    restart your macbook and see if that sorts it out for you.
    also check your hard drive space.  if your hard drive is almost full, that will also contribute to your macbook getting slower....
    good luck

  • Hi. Whenever I go through one of the menus in firefox, the links remain highlighted after my mouse passes over them. Is there a bug fix for this or is there something wrong with my computer? I am running windows 7 if that helps.

    Hi. Whenever I go through one of the menus in firefox, the links remain highlighted after my mouse passes over them. Is there a bug fix for this or is there something wrong with my computer? I am running windows 7 if that helps. This problem started ever since I upgraded to version 5.

    I have downloaded and used the iPod Reset Utility, alot that did. My current state is iTunes on my XP Home with SP3 sees the iPod. When I drag a song to the iPod, the Sync message appears for about 5 minutes, then the Apple symbol appears. But no song has been transferred to the iPod.
    I tried to tap into the XP iTunes database from my iBook, but although it acted like it would add the XP library to the iBook library, it did not. I've got 19 Gs of songs on the XP. If I have to load each song from its original CD to get it on my iBook I'm going to start looking for some other app or device so that I can listen to my music.
    It is a shame, in the old days, Apple techs use to look at what was going on, now it appears they don't, so they never know they have problems until Apple's profits fall.

    Fixes for some transform effects problems.
    - We were not animating the postLayout properties in some cases where we should have, effectively pinning the object in place. We now animate those properties whenever applyChangesPostLayout is true.
    - A copy/paste error meant that we did not animate the scaleZ property in cases where we should have.
    - A problem in the transform code means that using a null transform center is not the same as a transform center which uses the transformX/Y/Z properties of the target object. We now force the creation/use of a transform center in all cases to avoid that problem.
    QE notes: This breaks about a dozen tests in the transform effects area, but I believe the new results are correct and the tests/bitmaps should be changed.

  • HT204210 Still nothing about File Vault that needs a bug fix for almost every user. This is becoming even more disappointing!

    Still nothing about File Vault that needs a bug fix for almost every user. This is becoming even more disappointing!

    Apple Enterprise Support is aware of this issue. They have specific instructions which attempt to remediate the issue, however, attempting on two different MBP laptops, so far has not succeeded.
    The problem to be specific is - hang at login. The Filevaulted user account gets its password entered, then the "progress bar" mid screen will be seen to halt, never resuming. NVRAM resets dont necessarily cure this issue, but turning off FV2 definitely does.
    We are seeing this with 10.10.2 fully Apple-SUS updated machines.
    Feedback has been sent to Apple over this as well.
    Im recommending:
    a. turn off FV2 until such time as a Apple provided update cures it
    b. consider the Sophos WDE solution if WDE is absolutely required (disclosure: I havent attempted this, not sure about its workability)

  • Built in iSight for Mac Book not working (Hardware related)

    I've looked at the "How to troubleshoot iSight" page for the built in cameras, but haven't had any success.
    The problem is not Application specific (tried it out with Photo Booth, iMovie, iChat and Address Book.
    I haven't tried to see if it's user specific as I'm the only user on my computer, but I have backed up my Hard Disk on an external drive, booted from that, and it still doesn't work (the backup was from several months ago when it did work.) I had been using it yesterday and it worked.
    I checked the system profiler, and it does not recognize the iSight.
    I followed the instructions for resetting the SMC or PMU for Mac Book/Mac Book Pro (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319) and then checked the system profiler again. It still doesn't work.
    I think I have a hardware issue that isn't easily solveable, but thought I would post here in case anybody has any more ideas. One thing I did notice however that seemed positive is that the built in microphone still seems to be working. I was under the impression the microphone and iSight were part of the same device, although it seems that may not be the case.

    Hi PlentyofPaper654,
    You have covered everything. Time for an engineer.

  • Bug fix for missing files error msg

    from what i can tell there is still no bug fix for this issue that way too many people are getting.
    why has nobody from Apple posted on this board discussing their plans for this issue?
    why is this issue not noted on the tech support home page?
    my bet is 95% of the people who are also getting this error don't use this message board and therefore are really clueless...

    *from what i can tell there is still no bug fix for this issue that way too many people are getting.*
    WHat bug/eror are you talingk about?
    *why has nobody from Apple posted on this board discussing their plans for this issue?*
    This is a user-to-user forum.
    Besides, what good would it do if Apple posted, "we are working on it"?
    Most likely, any problems with iTunes are being looked at.
    why is this issue not noted on the tech support home page?
    What issue? Maybe it's not a big enough problem to make a big deal out of.
    my bet is 95% of the people who are also getting this error don't use this message board
    If that's the case, why should Apple post something?

  • Fix for Mac version

    Hi,
    I saw a fix for a problem I'm having but it is only for PC and I'm on a Mac.
    This is the post - http://forums.adobe.com/message/4007591
    Can someone point me in the direction of the fix for Mac please?
    Thanks,

    Sounds like it's a problem with the Acrobat settings. Did you set them to the same resolution?

  • Battery recharger for mac book?

    Is there a battery recharger for Mac Book out side of charging it in the MB via the computer power adapter? My adapter and computer power plug are shot. It will cost a lot to fix. If I am able to recharge the battery I could make use of my MB by getting power from the batties.

    Hi
    Yes that is helpful. Since it is an "older" Mac book pro I ordered a batter charger at http://www.madsonline.com/. Have not received it yet, but hopefully will…. soon

    Cleanups from the spark text changes and some bug fixes for VideoElement.  Also some PARB changes for UIComponent.
    TitleBar: Changing the skin part type from Label to Textbase
    UIComponent: skipMeasure()->canSkipMeasurement() to be in line with GraphicElement.  This has been PARB approved.
    UIComponent: same with hasComplexLayoutMatrix...this replaces hasDeltaIdentityTransform.  This has been PARB approved.
    StyleProtoChain: cleanup around what interfaces to use
    TextBase: clean up code that?\226?\128?\153s no longer needed.
    VideoElement: Fixing 4 bugs:
    SDK-22824: sourceLastPlayed keeps track of what video file we?\226?\128?\153ve called play() with last.  This way if a user pauses the video and wants to start it up again at the same point, we can call play(null) on the underlying FLVPlayback videoPlayer.  However, anytime the souce changes, we want to null out sourceLastPlayed.  This was causing a bug when someone set the source to null and then reset it to it?\226?\128?\153s previous value.
    SDK-23034 (GUMBO_PRIORITY): This deals with some FLVPlayback quirks around sizing.  I had put in a fix so we weren?\226?\128?\153t setting width/height on the underlying videoPlayer too many times, but apparently we need to make sure it always gets called once.  Hopefully when switching to Strobe we can cleanup this logic...I put a FIXME in to do this.
    SDK-21947/ SDK-22533 - some video files don?\226?\128?\153t always send out a metadata event.  I?\226?\128?\153m not quite sure why this is, but in case this happens, we do a check in the ready handler to see whether we should call invalidateSize() to make sure it gets sized properly.
