Can,t access wifi via airport after left my mbp idle for just 1 minute

i can,t access wifi via airport after left my mbp idle for just 1 minute, i need to turn airport off & turn airport on if i left my mbp idle for just 1 minute or less...why this thing happen? anyone can help thanks in advance

Something that came to mind after rereading you post relates to the particulars of a "hard" reset on the Snow.
A “hard” reset removes current setting from the base station. You must then connect to the base station using the AirPort Admin Utility and upload AirPort 2.0 or later software to return the base station to its default settings. A base station in a hard reset is only accessible through the LAN port, not via wireless connections ... so attempting to access with the AAU, via a wireless client, will not work.
The following is the process to reload the AirPort software: AirPort Base Station (Dual Ethernet) : How to reload software from Mac OS X

  • Lost ability to access iTunes via Airport after Force Quit - Network issue?

    I am not sure if this is iTunes or networking related, but all other networking appears ok.
    First my setup: multiple machines use iTunes library from an external HD connected to Airport Extreme, OS 10.4.11, iTunes 7.6.2.
    I had been updating ratings in the iTunes library on the external drive connected to the AE and I was connected to the AE via Ethernet with Airport Card on PB turned off. I went to move the PB to another location so I turned Airport Card on and disconnected the Ethernet cable with the iTunes app and database open (dumb move apparently). The iTunes app appeared to lock up along with the PB, I was able to force quit thru it, and now I have an unresolved issue that has me stumped.
    After numerous restarts of the PB, I can access the iTunes library on this AE server via the ethernet connection (as it was before attempting to move), and all of the ratings I had changed appear to have been saved. But I can not get iTunes to access the library via wireless (Airport Card).
    I have restarted the AE and the connected drive both. I have restarted the PB numerous times. If I login on PB with ethernet connected there is no issue, if I login with airport active only there is an issue. All attempts to start iTunes and accessing the library wirelessly result in no success, sometimes can quit normally, sometimes must force quit. I can option start iTunes to access/create library on internal drive and also can create a new library on the external AE server. Also all other wireless networking activity regarding that server has no issue (access , copy, move files etc...)
    I've tried removing iTunes pref files in user library and that didn't fix anything. The application itself works fine with the database when connected via ethernet or with internal library.
    Anyone have any clues or suggestions on where I should turn to try and fix this? I can try to provide more details if needed, but I am stumped short of potentially aggravating the issue with re installs and other potential attempts that may not even be related to the issue.
    Thanks

    No disk maintenance recently. I have a week old backup of the entire iTunes folder along with the Library. I tried moving that backup Library (file only) into the AE server location but that did not change anything in terms of access.
    I am on lunch break so no time to try your suggestions immediately, but will later this evening. I had thought about trying with a new user but hadn't gone there yet. I also have a G4 iMac ethernet connected all the time to the AE, but it has a AE card also typically not in use. I tried accessing with the iMac machine wirelessly, and although it progressed further (got the iTunes menu bar to display - never even got that on the PB), iTunes was not able to load which makes it almost seem not machine specific but rather something with the AE settings or the usb connected drive, but again all is fine there via ethernet.
    Last night after original post, on the PB, I thought about a corrupted keychain type thing perhaps not allowing file access wirelessly, and I did have something to repair there, but it did not solve the issue.
    Again, thanks for the suggestions and I'll try later tonight. Let me know if my additional info sheds any further light or if it would indicate that the suggestions were on the wrong track.

  • Can't access internet via Airport even when I have full signal

    MacBook    
    When I turn Airport on I get full signal from my wireless connection but when I open Safari it says it cannot connect to the internet. I have had my MacBook since December '06 and it never gave me this problem before. Only in the last month is it giving me this problem. I am using the exact same wireless connection as before......i dunno whats going on. Please help.

    I was just going to post this exact topic! My iBook connects to my home Airport Express flawlessly, and my iPhone can detect and connect to it, but then it doesn't display the WiFi logo (it still uses EDGE). Any help for the three of us?

  • Spinning color wheel whenever computer is used after idle for a few minutes

    Whenever I try to use my iMac after it's been idle for a few minutes there is a 3-5 second delay while the color wheel spins. This happens in all programs. I have deleted the plist power settings and all sleep options and processor options have been tried to no avail. The mouse remains responsive and I can move the cursor but whenever I click or try to execute any operations the color wheel appears.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
    iMac G5 rev B   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Thanks, but no Norton installed. It gets a little stranger; I reinstalled the system software with an archive and save. Now I still get the delay after the computer is idle for a few minutes, but I no longer get the color wheel. Example, if I start iTunes and then wait about 2-3 minutes when I hit play the play button turns blue but it takes several seconds before the song plays. Before I reinstalled I would have the same delay only I would get the color wheel.

  • Getting quite frustrated with my iPhone 4S.  Can't access WIFI and/or Bluetooth nor will my computer allow it to be a "hotspot" unless physically tethered to computer.  It started acting up after download....it also has messed up some app

    I've only had this phone since Sept. and have already had to have the speaker replaced.  NOW I can't access wifi and/or bluetooth (both are grey).  I can't use the Personal Hotspot either (and the passcode no longer shows up).  I can only access internet via the phone through the USB.  This started over the past few days (and after I updated to IOS).
    Some of my apps no longer work either...over 100+ hours of audiobooks on Audible can't be accessed as the Audible app just shuts off.
    Any recommendations on how to recify?   I'm pretty rural so downloaded anything takes going to the next town over to get a signal from the library...  and all of my searching is eating into my 5gb limit through ATT....so it is a bit irritating

    called Apple Care this a.m....new upgrade on 12/31/12 is supposed to fix the "bug"

  • After rebooting my ipad, I can't access wifi.  How do I fix this?

    After rebooting my ipad, I can't access wifi.   How do I fix this?

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Additional things to try.
    Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
    If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

  • Can only access emails through OWA after migration from exchange 2007 to 2013

    can only access emails through OWA after migration from exchange 2007 to 2013, in other words unable to access mails through outlook or from other Applications services.
    needed RCA ... plz help..

    Hi,
    From your description, you can send and receive messages only when you use OWA after migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013. If I have misunderstood your concern, please let me know.
    In your case, I recommend you create a new test mailbox in your Exchange 2013 and check if you can send and receive messages on Outlook. If yes, it is recommended to create a new profile to solve this issue.
    Hope this can be helpful to you.
    Best regards,

    Without third-party software I don't think you can.  An iPad has no user-accessible interface to a file system.  Just what is it you're trying to do?
