Did 10.7.4 break the wifi ? macbook 2008 unibody
After updating from 10.7.3 to 10.7.4 the wifi cannot turn on anymore. GOng inside the system report it shows the wifi there.
It seems like the update messed up the firmware ? I two do two fresh reinstalls to confirm this. One the first, iupdated 10.7 to 10.7.4 with a combo update
and wifi stopped working. One the second i went to 10.7.3 combo update and it works fine.
One thing to notice is that if i try to reset the SMC and PRAM the wifi work on the first boot. Then after restart it stops.
Anyone else out there ?
While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t run Lion. There's a Lion Support Community where everybody has Lion. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion

About three days ago my ipod said i needed to sync and so i did . when i did it stop working and the wifi is grey out and says no wifi . Ive tried rebooting it , reseting , restarting but nothing seems to work . Can anybody help me ? Please !
Hello Philly,
I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?) touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.

Yet again Apple says the next update will fix a certain problem and it does absolutely nothing. Not surprising.
Usual Apple updates. Have you tried resetting the network settings?
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
Also restart your router and play around with your phone. -
HOW TO FIX THE WIFI PROBLEM: Settings > Wifi > (little blue arrow) > scroll down to "Renew Lease" and then click on it.
EnjoyDidn't work for me.
What did work was going to the Wifi network settings and setting the HTTP Proxy to Auto rather than Off.
Worked for both iphone4S and ipad2. -
My macbook air will not connect to the internet. There is an exclamation point in the wifi icon and when i go into preferences i see that it is setting its own IP address. I have a macbookpro that is able to connect with no issue. HELP
Reset the TC to factory and start again.
Use all SMB type names for wireless and base station.. Not apple type names.. this is more important since Mavericks.
I also recommend different names for the different bands.
So for example.
TC name.. TCgenx (I use whatever the generation number is for the x.. eg TCgen4 or latest one TCgen5)
WIreless name.. TC24ghz for 2.4ghz
TC5ghz for 5ghz
You can also set the channel manually.
If you still have issues.. start with no security and then if it fails to connect there is something seriously wrong with the laptop. Did you upgrade install Mavericks?? That can lead to driver issues.. I would recommend a clean install. -
When i try to connect my macbook to the wifi i get this message: The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
Apache/2.2.17 (Fedora) Server at www.google.com Port 80
What do i do?Did this just started to happen recently? If so, have you done any updates on your Mac? Does this happen when connected either by wireless or with a wired connection to the Internet? Does this happen when connected to another wireless network or just yours?

HT3986 Whats about the Wifi driver for win7 on MacBook pro with Retina Display?
Hi guys
I have a MacBook pro with retina display.
I've tried to install win 7 64 bit with boot camp.
Win 7 works but I have now Wifi connection and I can't find any solution
I can't use the automatic search function from win7 because I can't use LAN because I have no LAN connection in this Mac.
So can anybody help me with this problem?Did you download and install the Windows support software. The first menu option when running Bootcamp Assistant was to download the Windows Support software.
If you did download and install the Windows Support Software and wifi still does not work for you, consult Windows help files for how to set up wifi. -
All of a sudden (after completing uploading ios5) my iphone 4 stopped recognizing my wifi airport? It recognizes it and prompts me to enter password..then never connects, asks to resubmit password (Which I know is right as I have my ipad and 2 macbooks running just fine on the wifi as I type)
I have tried hard reboot and even did a restore with no sucess?My brother had the same problem with his 4s yesterday , even though my iPhone 4 was fine with wifi. He reset our home wifi / router and it fixed his problem . Worth a shot...

I have 2 Macbooks each with an account for me and one for my wife. I use one Macbook logged in with my account and my wife uses the other Macbook only logged in on her account. We both make regular time-machine back-ups each on a separate external disk. Is it possible to update her account on my macbook using her external disk without overwriting my stuff on the same Macbook and vice versa?
Time Machine does not do individual accounts. It records the complete drive. So if you were to use her TM backup on your Mac it would make your Mac just like hers. Both yours and her account on your MAC.
Just copy the missing files over from her Mac to yours. If there are differennt programs on each then they would need to be installed on both. -
I downloaded and bought a movie from iTunes on my iPad and now want the same movie on my MacBook Pro but its not offering me to download it, it giving me the options of buying it which I already did. How I get the movie onto my MacBook?
You can connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, that should copy it over to the Movies part of your library.
Depending upon what country that you are in, and whether the film studio allows it, you might also be able to re-download it on your Mac via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page. -
Just bought MacBook Pro, cannot connect to the Internet at home. I have wifi at home and my iPad and cell phone can connect to the wifi

I'm relatively new to Mac and want to try and get the most out of the new MacBook Air.
My wife and I have been sharing the same Apple ID. We both have iPhones - she has a 5 and I've got a 4S.
We only have one copy of iTunes and we have been sharing the account. (She doesn't really use the computer for anything beyond writing the odd weekend assignment.)
Would I be better off setting her up with her own and making her as a separate user on the computer? Would this require much work?
In recent times with updates, we have a few problems with the duplication of texts and that sort of thing. Both of our texts are stored on the computer and that sort of thing. Also, sometimes texts I send her are sent through to me from her, if that makes any sense.
Anyway, I don't really want to overly complicate matters when it comes to accounts etc, but I wanted to know if a fresh Apple ID would be the best thing or even a new user?
Any tips etc would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
MacBook
I have this question too (0) ReplyYour question is almost too much a personal one, begging the question "do we (husband and wife) feel comfy sharing one account on the Mac" maybe thats why nobody answered you.
It doesnt complicate anything, but it adds steps for switching accounts on the Mac/ purchases etc. of course
since your question is mostly personal, ..I wont answer THAT part of it, but creating a new account is easy.....messing with switching back and forth is also a personal preference 'issue' as well. I prefer to keep things simple, but...........you and yours, I dont know.......
