Connect, sleep, won't connect automatically when wake

Hi,
I understand that there are loads of wireless issues with 10.5. Mine is similar to most people. I have a Orange (wanadoo) box. I can connect to the internet manually through network diagnostics to give a stable fast connection. However on putting the mac to sleep and then waking it again the wireless wont connect automatically.
I then have to spend a couple of minutes each time connecting through network diagnostics. A real pain in the Xrse.

Someone posted a thread on how to completely delete and rebuild the airport configuration. May want to search for that.
I use a slightly different method that I don't believe covers all of the possible issues out there, but it tends to work for me.
Open System Preferences
Click on Airport
Click on '-' at the bottom of the interface list
Click on '+' at the bottom of the interface list
Hit apply
... configure any custom settings as well ...
You may also want to go into Keychain Access and delete any stored wireless passwords.

  • Connect Software won't connect to router after resetting router on any of my computers

    I had to do a reset of the router. I have done it with the button on back and through the web based interface. I have followed all directions on uninstalling connect after restarting the router. I get an error that says it does not know if it is connected to the internet.. Well it isn't. I have tried numerous times and the connect will not install. I would like to get it back the way it was when I originally installed it. The key does remember the admin and password but it only allows me to get to the web based interface.
    I have tried everything I know to get the key to work again to no avail.
    Could someone please tell me what I am missing when I try to use the connect software after resetting the router?
    Thank you so very much!!!!

    So as per the concern you mentioned that Cisco Connect Software won't connect to the Internet after resetting the router... So could you inform us the model number of the Router that you are using it in the Network...
    As well as please inform us that who provides you Internet means who is your ISP ( Internet Service Provider ) ? Check if you can go online from the modem connected directly to the computer... If you can browse the Internet then check whether there is any manual IP address given to your computer or not...

  • On my MBP iTunes won't start automatically when I connect my iPhone or iPad?

    Today I encountered the following problem om my MBP:
    When I connect my iPhone 3GS or iPad on the MBP, iTunes (v10.2.2) doens't launch automatically.
    After self-starting iTunes I can synchronise and so on.

  • Mail won't retrieve automatically when waking from sleep.

    Occasionally (1 in 4 times), when waking my iMac from sleeping with the new Mtn Lion Release, my earthlink POP mail account will have the triangle with an ! in it and it will say it cannot access mail on the pop server port 110.  I click the get mail icon, and my new emails are retrieved.  I did not have this issue with Lion 10.7.4.  Any thoughts?  Should I delete the account and re-add?

    She still hasn't returned my call, but i know that she is able to type.  Whether its wifi keyboard or not I do not know.

  • Ipod Classic says it needs fixing when connected. Won't connect in disk mode

    I've just added all my music to a new memory stick and attempted to sync my ipod classic 160gb for the first time in about 5 years. However my laptop froze not long after it started and I had to restart the laptop.
    Today I've tried syncing it again but every time I plug it in it says it needs fixing. I tell it to fix it but either it does nothing, or tells me it can't be fixed as another program is using it (even though all other windows are closed). I've tried restarting it by holding down the select and menu buttons but that didn't help at all. I then put it into disk mode as I read I could then select it in itunes and restart it. It just says 'ok to disconnect' and won't go to 'do not disconnect' or show up in itunes, and sometimes comes up that it needs to be fixed but can't as the disk can't be found.
    The iPod itself still seems to be perfectly usable, and has all my old music on it.
    I've looked at loads of things on google but none of it helps.

    I've just added all my music to a new memory stick...
    How is the "new memory stick" related to this problem?  Does it have ALL of your music, including the music that is currently on the iPod?
    Do you use a Windows PC or a Mac?
    Is the latest version of iTunes installed, or do you use an older version?

  • Itunes won't open automatically when I plug iphone in

    I have recently had a lot of trouble syncing calendars with my iphone.  I have done all sorts of restarts etc.  One problem throughout (recent) is that when I plug my ipne in, itunes won't start up automatically and sync.  I cannot tick the box on itunes saying "open itunes when this phone is connected" as it is pale grey and won't let me.  Anyone any other ideas?  Everything is updated.
    I am on a mac and running Mac OS  X version 10.6.7
    itunes version 10.2.2 (12)

    Thanks!
    The likeliest possibility I can think of based on your symptoms is damaged Apple Application Support program files. (Much like iTunes versions 9.0.x, iTunesHelper requires a properly functioning Apple Application Support in order to work correctly.)
    *Assuming that you don't have a Safari for Windows version 4.0.5 installed on that system,* I'd try the following technique with a 32-bit Vista:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2256037
    *If you have a Safari 4.0.5 installed on the system* we'll need to try something different. (We need to make sure that you have an Apple Application Support 1.2.0 on the PC in order for Safari 4.0.5 to work ... at the present point in time, the procedure I outline above will only put an Apple Application Support version 1.1.0 back on your PC.)

  • ITune won't launch automatically when iPod attached

    I'm giving my brother my old Mac iPod and just reformatted it so he can start using it on his PC. Everything is working fine except that iTunes will not automatically launch when the iPod is attached. All the settings are correct and all software is installed properly. I have enabled disk use and can see that the iPod is recognized immediately because it mounts as an external drive but I wait and wait and wait and iTunes does not launch. When I launch iTunes manually, the iPod shows up in the source column within seconds. I only have Macs at home and a Sony Vaio laptop PC that I use for AutoCAD so I can only confirm this as a problem on my PC. I have MediaFour's MacDrive 6 installed and wondering if that is somehow conflicting. Any ideas on a fix for this?

    macboyinsf:
    My HP media center pc at home is doing exactly the same thing. My Dell at work will launch itunes automatically. My HP at home launched itunes the very first time I connected my ipod, but not since. I reloaded the software and again, itunes launched the first time, but not since. I wonder if this is a HP issue, or maybe a firewall issue (I use Zone Alarm)?
    Have you found a solution to this issue since you first posted?

  • WEP Connection iBook Won't Connect if Password Active

    Just got a new iBook today.
    Currently running a Linksys Router (802.11b) with WEP. My G5 is direct connected to it.
    When I activate my WEP password my iBook will not connect.
    I've tried creating/entering a variety of passwords. (Exactly 13 character) As demonstrated in this document:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108058
    If I disable the WEP I connect without a problem. I'd like to have some password protection.
    Does anyone have any suggestions what the problem could be?
    thanks.
    --Kevin

    ]I just moved into a household w/ a linksys WEP router. Everyone in the house uses PC except for me. I have an ibook. My airport can detect the network. However, when I tried to join the network by using the WEP key as the password, it didn't work. Is a WEP key different from a WEP password? I talked to the linksys tech support people but they knew nothing about apple so they told me to ask the apple people.
    One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
    In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
    The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
    One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
    Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.

  • Ipad 3 keeps dropping wifi connection and won't connect to itunes store at all

    I get intermittent wifi network connection.  Connection keeps dropping.  When I try to log onto itunes store, connection immediately drops every time.  Rest of my computers have no problem, just the ipad 3

    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.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

  • Facetime says connecting buy won't connect

    My wife and I both have an iphone4.  We have used Facetime to talk to each other several times.  Recently (i.e. within the past month), we have noticed that Facetime will simply not connect.  This happend in both iOS 6 and now in iOS 7.
    If we are in a call and switch to facetime, the phone says "connecting..." but either never connects or terminates the attempt.  I have no way of diagnosing the issue because I can't see why it is failing.  I've forced my phone to use wi-fi only (i.e. i turn off 3g connectivity and use wi-fi only), but that does not help.
    Is there anything else I can try to establish a facetime connection?  I'm not concerned about the bandwidth on either end because both internet connections are stable and broad enough to stream HD video.

  • Adobe Reader won't open automatically when clicking on online form link

    I created a form in LiveCycle Designer, reader-enabled it, and then it was uploaded to a university website for students to access to apply for graduation from an advanced degree program. However, when students click the link, the dreaded "Please wait...If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document. [...]" appears. In the top right corner of the browser, a little button that says "Open with different viewer" is also displayed, which has to be pressed and then Adobe Reader has to be manually selected to open the form...the problem is that students are not aware of the button in the corner and simply believe the form is not working properly. To avoid the many frantic student calls as they get the "error" message, I was wondering if there is a way to upload a form to default to the Adobe Reader, without having to set this on every machine individually. I don't know much about the website portion of this project, so any ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. If this is something that could be set on the form end itself (although I am not sure how you would), please also let me know. I have attached the screen shots with the first error message and the button in the top right and the selection for the viewer that comes up after pressing the button (once you select the reader in this step, it opens just fine). If there is any additional information I should provide to solve this problem, just let me know.
    The form is linked online at http://www.uccs.edu/Documents/graduateschool/CORRECT%20Application%20for%20Admission%20to% 20Candidacy%208_22_14.pdf
    Thanks in advance for any thoughts on the issue.
    Kristin

    You are using either the built-in Mozilla PDF Viewer or the built-in Chrome PDF VIewer and have a LiveCycle Designer XFA form being viewed.  You need to configure the web browser accordingly.
    XFA-based PDF forms on Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome
    There are are probably registry entries available for setting this up in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry hive for both Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, but I don't know them and have not seen them posted on any vendor site.  Then again, I haven't looked either.   

  • Itunes 9.03 on mac won't open automatically when I plug in my I-phone.

    Hello all,
    Prior to installing the latest I-phone software (3gs), Itunes would open automatically and begin the synching process once I plug in. However, after I installed the latest i-phone software, I now have to open it manually (the automatic synching still works). Any thoughts? Thanks again.

    same problem for me.
    i also have another problem, after i eject my iphone and close the itunes i can not start the itunes again and i have to go to task manager to close the program and then i can open my itunes.
    please help.
