Connection Lost After Wake From Sleep

I am using a Macbook Pro and Linksys WRT150N W/L router. Every time my MBP wakes from sleep, I lose my internet connection. My menu bar still shows that I'm connected to the network, but I lose all connectivity. I cannot connect to internet or my router settings unless I do a complete restart. Network preferences shows connected to network but no connection to my router IP address under TCP/IP tab in the advanced settings. I also have a drop out of signal a few times an hour. My iMac DV does not experience the drop outs or connection loss at anytime. I have reset my router numerous times and used default factory settings all with the same results. Does anyone have an idea what the problem may be? Thanks.

I was always experiencing drop outs as far as what my signal was showing in my menu bar. It would drop out even if I was on top of my router. I had upgraded to 10.4.11 and the day after I did that, the problems started. I thought I might as well upgrade to 10.5 to see if that might help it. I think the 10.4.11 had done something to my W/L card and upgrading to 10.5 wouldn't have helped it unless I upgraded from 10.4.10 to 10.5, skipping 10.4.11 all together. I'm gonna bring my router and MBP into the genius bar and see what they can tell me about. Thanks for replying. I'm glad and sad to hear that I'm not the only one experiencing these symptoms.

  • Server connection lost after "wake-from-sleep"

    I've got a network attached storage (NAS) device which I use as a location for backing up information from my hard drive. It's a windows based server so I use smb://servername to connect. I've got things set so that my Mac will connect when I log in but I've noticed that the computer will lose connection with the server after waking-from-sleep. Has any one else run into this? Any thoughts?

    hi there--
    i would write down all your network settings if you don't know them, and then trash the /library/preferences/systemconfiguration folder. (that's at the root or harddrive level). then restart the computer and re-enter your network settings. this solves a lot of problems with connections cutting out after sleep. [ 8 ) ]

  • Wireless connection lost upon wake from sleep

    I recently joined the 21st century and purchased broadband internet for my home. I am connecting via wireless ethernet using an original Airport card and flying-saucer type base station. All I did was connect the base station to the cable modem with an ethernet cable, plug it in, and restart my eMac. The network showed up right away and I was connected. Unfortunately, after my Mac went to sleep and I woke it up, not only was there not a connection, but there was no sign of the network.
    Airport status showed it was still on, but in the spot where the networks show there was nothing. Restarting corrected the problem, but I assume only until it sleeps again. I can change the settings to make it monitor-only sleep, but I would like a more permanent solution.
    What might help to fix the problem, and was there something I needed to do besides just turn my machine off and on to set up this network?
    Thanks.

    If you pose this problem over in the Airport or Tiger networking forums, you'll find you've stumbled into a morass of conflicting reports. There have been a disturbing number of reports of Airport connections lost in Tiger after wake from system sleep, usually not reconnected until after a restart. Some people have some success checking the box to put the Airport icon in the menubar ans using that to turn Airport off, wait a few minutes, and turn it back on, yet others have reported that only works part of the time and others report it doesn't work at all. Some have reported improvement after downloading and running the full OS X Update Combo 10.4.10 (PPC) on top of an OS updated via Software Update. And the large majority of Airport users never report any problems at all using Tiger. It really sounds like there's no one cause and no one fix.
    There is a workaround: don't let the Mac go into system sleep. Use the Energy Saver system preference to set system sleep to Never, uncheck the 'put hard drives to sleep when possible' box, and set the display-only sleep to say 20 minutes. If the eMac is in a bedroom and the sleepers are sensitive to fan noise or power LED lights, that will be a problem, but likely less aggravating than losing your broadband connection.

  • Network connection lost after waking from sleep

    iMac (27" late 2013) running Yosemite 10.10.
    Ethernet connection direct to the computer from the FIOS router.
    Upon waking from sleep, the computer is not connected to the internet.
    After about 20 seconds it finally reconnects.
    Under Mavericks it never lost the connection by sleeping - was instantly connected upon wake up.
    I tried creating a new location under the network system preferences and ordered it so that Ethernet was the first to connect.
    That didn't change anything.
    Any suggestions how to fix this?  I don't want to have to wait every time I wake up the computer.
    Really bugging me.

    Update on my situation.
    I have tried many things to get this fixed including:
    SMC reset (for an iMac this means unplugging it, waiting, and plugging back in)
    PRAM reset
    deleted the "system configuration" folder
    Still no luck.  Upon freshly booting the machine, it gets to the desktop and opens up mail for me, but the internet is not connected right away.  Still takes an additional 15seconds or so after Mail boots up to get a connection.  Then everything works fine.  If the computer sleeps, it doesn't have internet upon waking, but again will establish a connection (self assign an IP address) after about 15-20 seconds.
    So while not crippling, these 15-20 second waits are very annoying.
    Interestingly, this is ONLY with a wired Ethernet connection.  If I use WiFi everything connects right away.  But my WiFi is slower than the wired connection and I prefer to use the wired connection.
    Any further suggestions are welcome.

  • Wireless connection lost after awakened from sleep.

    I have the 2 month old 17" 2.16Ghz Macbook Pro Core Duo. Whenever I put the unit to sleep the wireless connection is lost when awakened. The Airport preferences pane shows a full strength signal and a base station ID but I cannot load a webpage, get or send emails, and ftp connections are broken. If I plug in an ethernet cable All is well again.
    The ony way to restore the wireless connection is to either restart OR logout and log back in.
    Any suggestions?
    THANKS

    Do this.
    Open network preference panel
    Select Airport on Show: drop-down menu
    Select Airport tab
    Select Peferred networks as the Join by default: item
    Delete your network
    Close preference panel
    Reopen Network panel
    Return to Join by default: and add your network
    Press Apply now.
    That should do it

  • BUG: Sandisk USB flash drive in "half-mounted" state after wake from sleep

    My Sandisk Cruzer Crossfire 4GB Flash Drive is left in a half-mounted state after wake from sleep. The Finder believes the drive is still mounted, the icon is on the Desktop. However opening a file on the drive, or trying to eject the drive, results in a long beach ball, followed by a message that I removed the drive without Ejecting it first. The same drive continues to work fine on my Tiger machine, and on PCs.
    Bug Report:
    Setup:
    Macbook 1st Gen (2.0 Ghz)
    Mac OS X Leopard 10.5 Clean Install
    Sandisk Cruzer Crossfire 4GB USB Flash Drive (in either port)
    Repro:
    Plug in the drive.
    Close the MacBook to put it to sleep
    Reopen the MacBook
    Result:
    The lights on the flash drive never light back up after wake from sleep. Navigating the drive, or trying to eject it results in a "you removed the device without ejecting it first" message.
    Expected:
    Drive should still be mounted and accessible after waking back up.

    It may be a design flaw in the device. Mac OS X does a lot more power management than most other OSes, including tearing devices down to little or no power during sleep. It is possible that the device simply misbehaves due to corrupted memory state or reports a substantially different GUID or something similarly bizarre upon wake. (Okay, that last one wouldn't technically be a power management issue....)
    If it doesn't have any problems except when sleeping the system, I would just make sure I unmounted it before putting the machine to sleep and wouldn't worry about it. Maybe check with Sandisk to see if they have a firmware updater for the device.

  • Left USB-Port dead after wake from sleep. Just restart helps.

    I hoped Apples keyboard-Update today would solve my biggest hate-bug in this buggy POS called Leopard. It didn't.
    As usual on my Leopard-Macbook Pro, no device will work on the left USB-Port after I waked the computer from sleep. Just a restart helps. I hoped this update to solve this, because it replaced among others "IOUSBFamily.kext".
    Terminal gives a timeout error for the internal USB-Hub after wake from sleep. I assumed this should be related.
    I'm really angry now.
    When will Apple solve the most urgent problems in Leopard?
    Was 10.5.1 just smoke and mirrors to make (fool people into...) people upgrade who intended to wait until the first maintenance-update?
    Was Leopard Apples attempt to make Windows-Users more comfortable by putting in some heavy extra-bugs and blue screens?
    FIX IT FINALLY! And f... don't wait for Macworld to release 10.5.2. It's desperately needed and the current state of Leopard will leave some people very sad at christmas after getting their first Mac. First impression counts and many more peoples first contact with the Mac will be at christmas...

    Apple knows the problem and for some reason they are stumped on fixing it. this is so bad I can't believe it. On my macbook pro with Leopard installed, USB left port is dead after sleep. Only restarting can power it back up. I have to restart every day to use my external hard drive for time machine or when putting my flash drive in the port.
    Come on already Apple. This is a SERIOUS, SERIOUS problem.
    Fix it.

  • After Lion upgrade, having network issues after wake from sleep

    After upgrading to Lion from 10.6.8 on my MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011), I am unable to connect to the Internet after the computer wakes from sleep.  I should rephrase this - I am able to ping IP's and DNS (DNS servers are present) however none of my apps will connect (Safari, iChat, etc) -> they all indicate the Internet is unavailable.  I have two Airport Express's running 7.5.2 extending a WiFi network off an Airport Extreme running 7.5.2.  This issue is specific to waking from sleep.  Any thoughts or suggestions would be appriciated.

    It's definitely linked to Time Machine and backups.
    I think If I put my machine to sleep/close the lid and Time Machine happens to be performing a backup, when I open the lid again, the network connection is lost and I receive a bunch of errors about the backup disk being unavailable. 
    This means that if my mbp isn't in the middle of a backup when I put it to sleep, wifi comes back up without a problem. 

  • Bluetooth Unresponsive After Wake from Sleep

    I have an issue where when my macbook pro wakes from sleep, the bluetooth mouse will not connect, and BT becomes unresponsive. Sometimes I can turn bluetooth off then back on and be OK, BUT 95% of the time, I have to restart the computer to get bluetooth back.
    After waking, the BT appears to be on, I get the popup on the screen which tells me "connection lost" with a picture of a mouse. I can open BT preferences and turn BT off, but nothing happens. I can even recheck "on" but it is completely unresponsive.
    Things tried:
    Allow BT to wake this computer is UNCHECKED
    in activity monitor I have forced quit BLUED, but BT does not come back.
    I have trashed the BT preference file Mac HD/library/preferences/com.apple.bluetooth.plist
    I have reset SMC and PRAM
    Tried a Logitech V470 and mighty mouse
    Fresh install of 10.6.0, then upgraded to 10.6.1, then 10.6.2 (using combo)
    Tried disabling steermouse, fresh batteries, holding my mouth right...
    When the BT is not responding, the BT name either changes to 2.2.4f3 (which is the Apple BT software version), or it says "name not available".
    Also in system profiler, when BT is not responding the BT "Hardware settings" section is missing. It starts with "services".
    This is driving me crazy. Could this be hardware related? I feel it is more software, since on restart, the BT mice pair perfectly and work great. The never randomly disconnect.
    This issue only happens when the computer resumes/wakes from sleep.
    Everyone please provide feedback. I am the only one with this issue? I have scoured the net, and find very little regarding this exact issue. I am within my 90 days from buying, should I call Applecare or is it a waste of my time?
    Thanks for your help,
    Jeff

    I've got what sounds like the same problem with my new unibody MacBook Pro.
    I've had the problem with both 10.6.1 and 10.6.2.
    I also find that a reboot fixes things. In my case, I can sleep/wake multiple times with
    no problem, but once the BT goes unresponsive upon wake, every subsequent sleep/wake
    will suffer the problem until I next reboot.
    I also discovered that in my case I can re-pair the non-responsive devices (two flavors
    of Logitech mice and an Apple wireless keyboard) while in sick-BT mode and they will
    work until I next sleep/wake, whereupon they will again fail to connect and my
    choice is either to re-pair yet again, or reboot and have the problem go away, at least
    for awhile.
    I'm trying to correlate my activity with my BT going out to lunch, but have yet to narrow
    it down definitively. I have one or two data points that make me suspect it goes south
    after I use VMware Fusion (Version 2), but I cannot yet rule that one completely in or out.

  • USB mouse freezes after wake from sleep.

    Since the 10.8.2 update my Logitech USB mouse freezes after waking up the computer from sleep or when it goes into energy save from non use. This also happens to my brand new MBPR. I tries repair permissions and reset the smc. Any suggestions?

    I get a frozen mouse (Microsoft Intellimouse Optical) on my 2012 Mac Mini running Mavericks (it did it with Mountain Lion also) when waking from sleep about 75% of the time which works again if I unplug/replug it (light is on and mouse buttons work when it's frozen, but the pointer won't move).  It does this whether I use a built-in USB3 port, a USB2 hub and now also with my new USB3 hub. 
    However, my 2008 Macbook Pro also has an Intellimouse connected to it when docked and it NEVER freezes when waking from sleep whether using the built-in USB2 port or a Gmyle USB3 card port.  Either way, the mouse wakes fine and it's the SAME MODEL MOUSE and SAME OSX verison.  I have no idea why the inconsistency.  It ***** because "Wake on Network Activity" FINALLY works right here in Mavericks with XBMC on my Mac Mini so there's a perfect opportunity to save some electricity.  I got excited when it woke up two times in a row with 10.9.1 and set up my sleep controls only to find it wouldn't go to sleep with the Energy Savings menu because I have an external USB3.0 3TB media drive connected (at all times).  I finally found out (through more patient testing) that once the drive spun down (possibly on its own power saving timer as I'm not sure the "Shut down hard drives when possible" setting works in Mavericks; it was messed up in Mountain Lion in 10.8.4 and even though 10.8.5 fixed it, I'm not sure Mavericks is using the same code.  It doesn't seem to shut down any faster with or without the setting on and shuts off several minutes after the computer attempts to go to sleep (on a 1 minute test setting; I think WD defaults to 10 minutes in firmware). 
    Anyway, once that was resolved and I saw it would go to sleep eventually once the drive spun down (it will sleep instantly if I select SLEEP from the Apple menu which I find odd if it's such a big deal that it's connected....), I thought OH BOY!  I'm all set.  Then I woke it from that sleep and found my mouse was frozen again..... :-(  What a PITA to unplug/plug the mouse every time it wakes from sleep.  It's not worth it.  I'll just have to pay the extra few bucks in electricity each month I could have saved to avoid such a freaking nightmare hassle.  Why on God's Green Earth, Apple CANNOT or WILL NOT fix their darn energy savings features is just beyond me.  Instead of spending all their time making horrible horrible ugly icon/GUI updates to iOS and making it slower and slower and slower, why don't they actually fix some darn bugs in OSX for once in their lives.... I'm starting to think I should give Windows another chance I'm so annoyed right now.  But then I think about having to run a malware program and have that program update and Windows software/security updates 3x a day and I think I can just deal with the Mini not sleeping.....
    I'd like to know why Apple couldn't figure out those of us with multiple monitors would want a dock on BOTH monitors all the time either (first side-mount docks wouldn't migrate and now in 10.9.1, bottom-mounted docks won't migrate here either, leaving a dock on one monitor all the time and if that's the monitor that is showing full-screen video, you lost your dock completely while the video is playing.  They finally figured out after a full decade that having a menu bar on both screens would be a good idea, but it just didn't occur to them that the same is true of the dock.  How much are they paying these guys?  Too much apparently (or is it too little to attract talented thinkers? Nah, it couldn't be since we give them feedback and they just ignore it).

  • 10.9.4 update causing internet browsing errors after wake from sleep

    Macbook Pro Late 2011, OS X 10.9.4
    So before the 10.9.4 update, I had no problems with Wifi and wake from sleep.
    Now, after the update, random web pages either don't load (Chrome & Firefox) or return a "Memory Not Allocated" error (Safari). Also, my Work VPN application stops being able to connect.  The related Console error is:
    acvpnagent[104]: Function: getInterfaces File: ../../vpn/Common/Utility/NetInterface_unix.cpp Line: 1277 missing PPP destination address for interface "utun0"
    The only solution I've found is restarting.
    Any ideas?

    Remove the Cisco VPN client. Use the built-in client, if possible.
    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    I never install system modifications myself, and (unless otherwise specified in this comment) I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    WARNING: Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

  • Bluetooth devices lagging after wake from sleep sometimes.

    I have the Apple bluetooth keyboard, magic mouse, and magic trackpad. All batteries are charged and I have tried others by the way. This issue only happens sometimes, as it has happened before, but stopped for a few months, and now happened again tonight. What is happening is that my laptop (macbook late 2009 with  mac os x 10.7.2) wakes from sleep (all default energy saver settings set and I am able to wake the macbook with any of the bluetooth devices), and my bluetooth devices mentioned above are laggy for about 15-45 seconds. What i mean by laggy is that when moving the mouse across the desk after the login screen is already fully loaded, it jumps and is clearly not tracking like it usually does. The bluetooth trackpad and keyboard experience this same issue.
    Now the thing that leads me to believe it's bluetooth or software is that my macbook's built in keyboard and trackpad do not lag and function correctly as soon as the computer is woken from sleep and prompts me with my login screen. This also leads me to assume that it's not my computer running slowly or having too many processes or not enough memory. This problem happens even if I have no programs running (other than OS X's default processes). I have taken my macbook into the Apple genius bar thinking it was a bluetooth hardware issue, but they ran checks and confirmed that it was not and obciously, we could not get the issue to reproduce their at that time. I would love to hear from anyone who has experiecned this before, or is currently. We need to get Apple's attention with this issue because they have not listened to me when I submit a feekback form. This has been happening since 10.7.0 by the way. Thanks and happy holidays.

  • No IPv6 after wake from sleep

    Hello,

    This causes problems for IPv4 as well because apps like Firefox and Safari try using the IPv6 DNS servers and give up before falling back to the IPv4 servers.  So this problem breaks more than IPv6.
    Is this a bug or do I have something misconfigured?
    Thanks.
                                   --Tom

    I see this (sort of) behaviour as well. When I look into the tcp/ip tab of the network (system prefs) I see
    fe80::1:1 as router, that is why v6 stops working. After turning v6 off and on again the correct router IP appears.
    NB. this is on wifi

  • Finder stall after wake from sleep w/USB flash drive mounted

    Has anyone else experienced this? iMac works flawlessly while USB flash drive is mounted UNTIL iMac sleeps. Then as soon as the iMac wakes from sleep the finder is non-responsive (perpetually spinning beach ball) and other apps slow to a crawl and become non-responsive as well if they need the finder (i.e. to save, etc.). This only happens when the USB flash drive is mounted.
    Trying to force quit (relaunch) the Finder does not work, I always have to perform a hard restart.
    I have an external FireWire hard drive that works beautifully and does not cause these same symptoms.
    Any ideas?

    umm.. don't let the computer go to sleep with your jump drive connected?
