Computer wont stay connected to wifi, other Macs connect fine

Just got AT&T cable and internet service. The wifi works great on everything but my iMac, my partners iMac flys. Mine will sometimes and then for no reason it will kick me out and start looking for networks.

What Version of the OS are you running? I know they had issues with 10.7.4 and WiFi Connectivity.
Check for software updates by clicking on  and then Software Update.

Able to connect keyboard to only one mac ...not able to connect to my other mac at work after disconnecting the first one ...any suggestions please

Hello,
I am able to connect my wireless keyboard to only one mac ...not able to connect to my other mac at work after disconnecting the first one ...any suggestions please
thanks,

Hello:
You will need to delete the keyboard from the other Mac. Simply disconnecting it leaves it still paired with the first Mac.

Can not connect to one other mac in in-house Ethernet network 10.9.2

I have a small inhouse ethernet network with 3 Macs
All mac´s are running under 10.9.2
On my main mac I see both other macs as approved. When I select the first mac, put in my user ID and password I can connect.
The other mac will not connect; "connection failed" and I see on the console:
27.02.14 15:13:38,186 NetAuthSysAgent[243]: RPC to srvsrvc gave error 0x16c9a042
27.02.14 15:13:38,187 sharingd[212]: SDSharePointBrowser::handleEnumerateCallBack returned -6600
Up to today both connection were working fine; but today I updated to 10.9.2 - but I am not sure if that coused the problem.
Has one any suggestion?
Thanks
Hans

In the meantime I have reinstalled OSX 10.9.2; repaired permisions - no effect.
The settings on both other macs are the same.
No suggestions????

Icloud photo library won't work unless connected to wifi. If I am trying to attach a pic to a message or email, I get the error "photo can't be downloaded from iphoto library, please try later." If I connect to wifi it works just fine.

If I am trying to attach a pic to a message or email, I get the error "photo can't be downloaded from icloud photo library, please try later." If I connect to wifi it works just fine. If it's truly "storing" a low res version on my phone it shouldn't have to download anything. I can understand the uploading of pics to library only being done over wifi, but there are plenty of times I'm going to want to send a pic when I'm not going to be near a network. It does work occasionally, but the norm is that I get the error.

Hi Ed,
There is issue with Windows 7 when you send the email. It gives the message you specified.
But you can always use Adobe Email client to send your images. In this workflow also you would get the error message but you can ignore it and continue to send the mail.
Thanks,

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Since i upgraded to ios 6, I am having trouble stayong connected to wifi networks I connected to on my iPhone 4S .. anyone else have this issue ?

I sometimes experience the same issue. But not only in 6.1 but also in previous versions

Constant WiFi connection issues where other devices are fine. "Sending request..."

I experience the same issues as some other posters here with the MacBook Pro, Lion, and certain networks. All other devices (Android phone, Windows laptop, iPad...) deal with the situation just fine on the same networks. The MacBook however gets its knickers in a twist:
I get perpetual "Sending request..." messages at the status bar of Google Chrome. All applications fail to find internet, despite full bars. This was only an issue since upgrading to Lion. A reboot of the Mac will always solve it, meaning it is not the router. Rebooting the router often does not solve it. Turning WiFi off then on sometimes solves it. Quitting Chrome/Safari sometimes solves it. But rebooting the Mac always solves it. This indicates it is an issue Apple really need to address.
Are there any ideas here? I have made sure there are no DNS entries. I have deleted my home network several times and re-added it. I have hard reset the router, and been through three (that's not a misprint) routers.
I doubt it is a hardware issue with the Mac as it only started with Lion, on the same Mac.

10.6.8 MBPro Screen Sharing suddenly can not connect to our other Macs.

We've used Screen Sharing from our MBPros for the past few years to manage our Mac file & media servers. Last year we replaced our G5 file server with a Mac Mini with Lion server. No problems - we could still use Screen Sharing to manage both this Lion file server and the Snow Leopard MacPro that's hooked up to our TV (among other things).
Friday morning my MBP could not see or connect to the Lion file server - the MBPs have the Lion server's data drives in Login Items so they mount when we log in. I also cound not Screen Share to either the Lion server or the SL MacPro. I checked the MBP's ethernet connection and could get to our router and the internet. When I tried to connect via Screen Sharing (by using the Share Screen... button in a Finder window, by using the Connect to Server command with vnc:// protocol, or by using the ScreenSharing menulet) I would get the "Connecting to Lion server" alert but nothing further. I left it for 10 minutes or so and it eventually disappeared but the connection never opened.
I checked the two servers and both were up and running. From the SL MacPro I could use Screen Sharing to get to the Lion server - and my MBPro too. From the Lion server I could Screen Share to the MacPro and my MBPro also.
The problem appeared to be with my MBPro. I switched to an unprivledged user account on it and found I could then get to both servers using Screen Sharing. So it was just my account on the MBPro. Rebooting did not help. Turning on AirPort, connecting to our home AirPort Extreme and unplugging the ethernet cable did not change anything with my account connecting to the servers.
I figured something somehow got pranged in my account's credentials. I used Keychain Access to delete all keychains containing the servers' names, IP addresses or sharing. I was asked for my credentials when I mounted the server's shared drives, but not when I tried Screen Sharing - got the same "Connecting to Lion server" or "Connecting to media server" dialogues and was never asked for username or password, but never connected either.
I cleared all caches using the utility Maintenance in case my MBPro was using invalid cached info. No improvement.
Saturday morning I shut down everything on our entire network - FiOS "modem"/router, Netgear gigabit switch, AirPort Snow, AirPort Extreme, MacPro, MacMini, both MacBookPros... even the FiOS cable box. Still no improvement.
IPv6 is disabled on the Lion server. All the Macs have all curent updates applied.
I've spent most of today Googling for solutions and trying them out. None have worked - though I see several very recent reports in these Apple Communities about Screen Sharing suddenly not working.
I really do not want to have to move to a new account on my MBP - and what's to say it won't happen again? Anyone have other suggestions?

sunnovagun!
Hitting the Log Out button in the MobileMe panel worked. I can now connect to both the SnowLeopard and Lion servers just like I used to.
My condition appears to have been slightly different from yours, gmia - the MobileMe on my MBP had the correct info, but hose are not the credentials i use to remote to the two servers. I'm guessing that for some reason ScreenSharing began using my MobileMe credentials instead of what I had saved in the keychains.
Wonder if it had anything to do with the shutdown of the MM servers. That would be odd as using ones apple ID to log into a Mac remotely was new with Lion, and I had the same problem with our SnowLeopard server - which I remote into much more frequently.
Probably didn't hurt though to reboot the entire network...

Encryption wouldn't matter except for Wifi.
While 10.2 might help, there's not much you can do on the Internet these days with less than 10.4.11

Access Connections - disable WiFi on Wired Connect with docking station

Issue: Need to auto switch without user interaction from Wired to WiFi and back to Wired.
Example - User leaves desk/docking station with wired LAN to a meeting on WiFi then returns to their desk/dock. Laptop may hit sleep mode on these steps as well.
I'm moving from Dell to Lenovo and new to AC - so far no luck disabling WiFi on Wired connect. It's a breeze with Intel PROset + "adapter switching" and can be done manually with Dell Wifi drivers ("disable on Wired Connect"). I assumed Thinkvantage Access Conentions would actually be more robust than these. Should we just use PROset even though it doesn;t ship with the systems nor is a download for Lenovo T-Series? PROset method - http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/CS-028815.htm
Working to achieve this as a managed policy for many computers. AC looks great but wish it had this setting like Intel PROset!!!

Hi Tpad-rex, welcome to the forums,
Please take a look at the profile settings in access connections. (Select the profile and choose edit profile). In the profile you should have two adapters showing; LAN and WLAN, make sure that the LAN is above the WLAN in the priority list. I'm guessing you have it the other way around, did you maybe set it up as a WLAN connection first??
