Cannot connect to via wifi after some upgrade...

After updating some package recently, I cannot connect to wifi. Normally, I'd use netcfg (now v2.8.2) to connect thus:
┌─(dan@archbang)────────────(22:35)───┐
└─(~)─> sudo netcfg -u dd-wrt_vap

You may have another wpa_supplicant process already running or the file was

to manually remove this file before starting wpa_supplicant again.

As you can see, I run into several errors and cannot connect. This is the profile for the wireless connection:

Yeah, I was having the same issue with Lion until I tried this
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1170
Basically, my drive's name was exactly 27 characters. I made it shorter and it seems to now work without issue under Lion. It is odd that it worked fine under SL, but this seems to fix the issue.

  • HT4623 I cannot connect to my wifi after updating to iOS 6

    I updated my iPhone 4s to iOS 6.  I cannot connect to my wifi after updating to iOS 6.  I updated while connected to iTunes.  I can no longer connect to the wifi that I had previously used at that location.  However, I can connect to all of the other wifi areas I had previously connected to ie. home, coffee shop, etc.
    I have tried turning off cellular data..  Other than not being able to connect to my office wifi it appears that iOS 6 is working properly..
    Thank you in advance for your assistance

    I have the same problem too and I have not been able to "fix" it. It is very frustrating! My other electronics connected to my wifi:  pc, ipad, iphone 3G,and TV they all working fine. I went to the Apple store and they say this problem is ralated to my network provider, then when I went to AT&T they say it is Apples problem. Who do you believe?

  • I cannot connect to the Internet after Lion upgrade

    I'm having a similar problem to some other threads.  After upgrading to Lion I cannot access the Internet wirelessly through my Airport base station.  All other Macs in the house are working fine.  Per the other threads:
    - I do not have Avast installed
    - I have tried trashing the System Configuration in Preferences
    - I have tried creating new locations
    - I tried enabling "Auto Proxy Discovery" and "Automatic Proxy Configuration" in Network Preferences.
    None of this has worked.  Here is the message I get in Safari:
    "The operation couldn't be completed.  Operation not permitted."  (NSPOSIXErrorDomain:1)
    I previously was getting a kernel panic after startup when I did the upgrade.  But I was able to narrow it down to Intego Content Barrier which I deleted.  I then reinstalled Lion and the system seems stable.  Just can't get the Internet to work.
    Any other ideas or thoughts on this?
    Thanks!
    David

    Don't think Airport is around in Lion
    Select Advanced,  pictures are in wrong order and I was tired of fighting with it.

  • HT6065 Cannot connect to home wifi automatically despite upgrading to OS X Mavericks v10.9.1 Update

    My MacBook Pro is unable to connect to my home wifi although there were no problems in the past.  I realized that the problem was intermittent and then it became permanent.  Each time I have to manually connect to my home wifi.  This is despite having upgraded to the latest OS version Maverick v 0.9.1.

    See if anything here helps - no guarantees, but sometimes any one of the suggestions has been known to work:
    WiFi Problems:
    Wifi problems seem to crop up a lot on here and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a 'one fix' solution.
    However, sometimes any one of the following can help although, unfortunately, not always. In no particular order:
    Check wifi security - if it's WEP change it to WPA or WPA2 (preferably, as it's more secure)
    Change the wifi channel on the router
    Create a new Network Location: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5289
    Reboot the router
    Also take a look at this link and the links within the article for other ideas. They mainly reference Lion, but still seem to be relevant to Mountain Lion and possibly Mavericks:

  • Mac mini cannot connect Onkyo TX-SR806 after Lion upgrade

    Hi,
    I've bought the Mini in 2011 and connect via HDMI to an Onkyo TX-SR806. The Onkyo receiver does the connection to the TV. Everything was working fine until the Lion upgrade. Then the Monitor setting for the Onkyo vanished (sound is also dead). I can connect to my Samsung TV, but the sound is poor this way. I wrote an automator script to force the System settings check, but this makes the monitor flicker and go blank again. The recent Lion upgrade with the HDMI didn't improve the situation. Does anyone know about the problem?
    Ciao, Gerald

  • I am unable to connect to my wifi after upgrading to ios 7 can anyone help?

    hi all
    can anyone help me find out how to connect to my wifi after i upgraded my fone to ios7,ive tried logging on to my account but still no connection??

    If you have tryed every thing we have said and all of this
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    then it must be hardware, to make sure this is the case go to your local apple store and then let them see it at the bar there, they will say how much it will cost to fix or fix it if they can.
    Hope this helps

  • Problem with connecting to free wifi after upgrading to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8

    Hi
    I had problems with connecting to free Wifi after upgrading my PC(Notebook) to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8. As I travel a lot within europe, I am used to being able to connect to Free Wifi(those that dont need a key or password to enter) but soon after downloading
    Windows 8.1 I almost never was able to do this. I'd always get «LIMITED» even though the signal was strong.This was so fustrating,so much so that I reset my PC to clear it of Windows 8.1 and am now back to Windows 8.This is a shame because I was really liking
    using Windows 8.1 and if not for this problem(which is a big one) I'd still be using it. If I download Windows 8.1 again from the Windows store what is the probability that I'll have the same problems?
    Thanks Portozzygirl

    More often than not when a device isn't working it is because the driver has become corrupted. Re-installing a fresh copy should help

  • Can't connect ipad to wifi after upgrading to ios6

    can't connect ipad to wifi after upgrading to ios6

    Additional things to try.
    Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi. (This is probably not practical in your situation.)
    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.

  • After ios 5 update cannot connect to home wifi

    it worked just before i installed ios 5 and now I cannot connect to my wifi. iphone still connects

    Same for me.
    I have to reset my comcast modem to get the iphone to submit the password.
    Otherwise i just get a message "unable to connect to HOMExxxx"
    After I reset the modem then I get the password request.
    Password should be retained in the iPhone.
    Got the iPhone connected on Sunday night and then Monday morning had to go through the whole routine again.
    Comcast password is many characters so this is problematic.

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • I cannot connect to the Internet after installation of Windows Vista Ultimate edition.

    I cannot connect to the Internet after installation of Windows Vista Ultimate edition. For some odd reason, it seems my ethernet has not yet been installed to my operating system and I do not know how to do that even with the internet, I have the LAN cable hooked up to my computer but I do not know exactly what to do about it. Is there some sort of driver I need to install, or what? How do I do that without the internet?
     This operating system is on a separate partition to my other operating system that is connected to internet already (Windows Vista Premium) that I do not wish to use anymore because of it's corruption. I tell you this because you may know a way of finding the driver files on my previous operating system that I may be able to transfer to the other.

    here is a "copied" version with credits for those looking for a solution to an annoying problem Apple should patch.  (Yes, I'm aware of the irony of that statement)

    After doing a reinstall of Lion a few weeks ago, I found that my computer suddenly would reject every VeriSign certificate that it encountered. Using Chrome, that meant that I couldn’t even access Twitter.com, because it thought that the certificate was wrong. I couldn’t login to the Apple developer portal, I couldn’t authenticate a device with XCode, I couldn’t make a purchase at Apple.com, I couldn’t download updates from the Mac App Store, and I couldn’t login to Mint.com, among other sites. I essentially couldn’t do anything that used a VeriSign certificate for SSL.
    What did I do? I called my trusty AppleCare advisor, hoping for an answer. I thought that maybe they could help me figure it out. After getting to senior support, I was told to reinstall Lion, which I did to no avail. My case was then forwarded to the Apple engineering team, with 3 to 5 days to wait until I had an answer. I looked around, through my console logs and through Keychain access, and finally came up with an answer, and a solution to my problems.
    It turned out that my solution was pretty simple. I had to delete a few files and reset one to its default setting.
    Delete the files /var/db/crls/crlcache.db and /var/db/crls/ocspcache.db. These can be found using Finder’s Go >; Go To Folder menu (Cmd + Shift + G). This resets the cache of accepted certificates in the system. It doesn’t remove them, it just forces the system to rebuild the caches upon restart.
    Open Keychain Access (/Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access). Select Certificates in the Category picker on the left side. In the search bar, type in the word Class. Look through that list, and find any certificates that have a blue + symbol over their icon. These are the ones you need to modify.
    Select one that has a blue +, and hit Command + I. Click the disclosure triangle beside the “Trust” list to show the list of permissions. Now, what we need to do is to set this certificate to use the system defaults. However, for some reason, when you select it, it doesn’t save. So what you need to do is this. Under “Trust”, where it says “Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)”, change the dropdown menu to say “No Value Specified”. Then, close the window. It will ask for your administrator permissions. Then, open the info pane for that certificate again. Under “Trust” again, now set the dropdown that says “When using this certificate:” to say “Use System Defaults”. You can then close out of the info pane, and enter your password again. Do this for any of the certificates that have a blue + on their icon. There should only be one or two at most.
    Restart your system.
    This solution seemed to work just fine for me. All of my certificate problems have been fixed. It must be something with the OSX installer that causes this certificate issue. I’ll file a bug report. Hopefully someone looks into it and fixes the flaw in the OS. And, I hope that this fixed the flaw for you.
    Addendum – a note on security:
    This procedure won’t affect the security of your Mac. I’ve had some questions come in about that, and if anything, it makes it more secure because then sites that require SSL certificates can actually use them, unlike before where they might default to non secure connections because the certificate was bad.

  • Internet works, but I have an exclamation mark instead of AirPort connection and cannot connect to my WiFi.. PLEASE HELP!

    Internet works, but I have an exclamation mark instead of AirPort connection and cannot connect to my WiFi.. PLEASE HELP!

    When you see an exclamation point in the Wi-Fi menu, from the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
    Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts. You may get a warning that Wi-Fi is not available, that you're too far from the base station, or that you're using the wrong password.
    Assuming that you've ruled out those possibilities, restart the computer and try again. If there's no change, click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane and authenticate, if necessary. From the Location menu at the top of the window, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click  Applyand test.
    If there's still no connection, and if you have control of the router, compare its settings to Apple's recommendations. Some third-party routers may be incompatible in 802.11b/g/n radio mode. Try setting the mode to 802.11n only.

  • I cannot connect ipad to Wifi though other PC's are connecting are OK.  It was connected to this wifi previously

    I cannot connect ipad to Wifi though my other PC is connecting to the same network.  It is an IPad one and previously automatically connected to this network but has suddenly stopped even after rebooting the router etc still does not work?  Any ideas from the smart people out there please?

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Also try this - Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
