Erratic connection to Snow since update to 10.4.7

Hi all,
I have an airport snow which is connected to a DSL-Modem via Ethernet. The DSL-Modem itself has a WLAN ('Fritz' box) so I can switch back and forth, but I prefer Airport since my Appletalk-printer is connected to it via a bridge.
The setting worked fine until i made the update to OSX 10.4.7. Now when on Airport I get very erratic behaviour. Most of the time I just cant get any data from the internet. Sometimes it works fine, but some minutes late it gets stuck again. Switching to the Fritz's WLAN works fine, although it operates with mere 12% signal strength.
I apologize for that vague description, but I just can't figure out where to look into the problem.
Is there anything new in 10.4.7 that might affect this?
Regards
Martin

hi chica chic--
what kind of install did you do? did you archive, or erase and install? was the screen problem there the second time before you did the update?? i would run the apple hardware test to see what it says. you can do this by putting in your install dvd for tiger and starting up holding the d key. take the full test instead of quick test. i would also try resetting the pmu on your macbook pro. this article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319 describes the procedure and gives some info about it. best of luck.

3GS won't connect to WiFi since updating to iOS6.

If the problem is only your home WiFi do the following:
Reboot your router by removing all power from it for about 30 seconds
If that doesn't fix it on the phone go to settings/general/reset - Reset network settings

Not sure what you mean that you have no signal but are on 3. What are you trying to say?

[SOLVED] Can no longer connect to networks since update

I have a Realtek RTL8723AE wireless apapter, and since last night (I think caused by an update), I haven't been able to get a connection with it.
lspci -v
02:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8723AE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter

The drivers and module seem to be loaded. So I tried

link/ether 24:0a:64:b6:25:70 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
I try to do
ip link set wlp2s0 up
but I get no joy.
The log
dmesg -w
[ 207.798131] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlp2s0: link is not ready
The above also spits out when I try
wifi-menu
(wifi-menu looks and finds nothing) and
dhcpcd
I'm suspicious that my ethernet adapter is suffering a similar problem, I get a similar output:
[ 207.415569] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): enp3s0: link is not ready
I'm connected with my phone in tethering mode at the minute, unfortunately I have no way of testing the ethernet port.
I've been fortunate enough never to have had too many network issues in the past, but this has left me somewhat out of my depth when it comes to this, so I apologise in advance if I'm missing something.

I have a laptop with the same wifi card and have been having similar issues. I just wanted to say that, after trying nearly everything (including booting into an old Debian partition to no avail), I saw this post.
I figured it couldn't hurt, so I shutdown the laptop, unplugged it and pulled the battery. I booted it again, and voilà, magically my wifi card worked again.
There must be some kind of switch that got toggled off, and was reset by clearing power. My laptop has two buttons with airplane labels that have never done anything (they probably would in Windows), but they did nothing for me.
Anyway, thank you person from the past, the solution is here.

Safari showing not connected to internet since update

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone is experiencing a similar problem or has a remedy? Basically both my imac and macpro were recently updated with both OS & Safari updates. Since doing so you will often click on a link to a new page and a message will come up saying that Safari could not open the page because we're not connected to the internet. We are as you can automatically go back to the previous page or load other websites. If you click the link about 3 times it eventually opens, but naturally it's very frustrating.
Any suggestions on what could be the cause? Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks!

HI and welcome...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab.
Click: Show Cookies.
Delete all cookies.
Shut down your Mac, restart, then launch Safari.

Airport problem-cannot connect to internet since update

I like many folks here is new to a Mac. I have a iMac intel duel processor. i apparently did this update to 10/4/8 10/2/06. Since then airport does not work and I cannot connect to internet at all. I have talked to Apple customer service but so far no help there. They want me to reinstall disc that came with computer. I also have a new MacBook that has update also. I can set it beside the iMac in my office and it works great. We have a wirelss system in our home and a PC and the MacBook still connect with no problem. Settings on iMac and MacBook look identical to what I can tell. Nothing I try to connect works, rebooting, change some setting. Can anyone offer easy to follow suggestions to a new Mac user. Thanks

Since it's only the iMac that's having the issue connecting using WPA, we don't need to troubleshoot the router or the other computers.
I suggest trying the following on the iMac before attempting to reload the previous version of the OS.
If you use "Preferred Networks," instead of "Automatic" for your "By default, join" setting Location, try the following:
System Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort > AirPort tab
- Delete all preferred networks with encryption
- Add them again after manually connecting
(Note: It will be faster if you turn on "Automatically add new networks to preferred networks list" under "Options" of the AirPort network connection.)
If this doesn't work, something might have gone wrong with the update to 10.4.8. I would suggest that you follow the Apple Tech's recommendation and reinstall the previous OS using the installation disk that came with your iMac.

IPhone 5 won't connect to wifi since update to iOS7-says incorrect password. It seems to have forgotten the password to two wifi locations I use daily. When I enter the passwords manually, I get message "Incorrect password for ......(network name)"

I reviewed another post on the support community that initally appeared to cover this topic. That question was replied to, and the person was referred to apple support pages that detail how to get one's iphone to link with wifi (turn off device, reboot router, go to iphone settings->wifi->click "i" next to your problem network and select "forget this network").... How do I select "forget this network"- it's not even an option (maybe it would be IF I could get the iPhone to connect to the network, but then I wouldn't need this question answered...)
I have multiple other computers (Macbook Air, iMac 2011, and PCs), as well as new iPad (also recently updated to iOS7) and my wife's iPhone 4S (running iOS6), all of which have no problem connecting to our networks (and no access passwords have been changed). Only my iPhone 5 seems to be left out in the cold. The iPhone 5 "finds" the networks, but will not accept correct access passwords as "correct", therefore cannot actually connect to password-secured wi-fi networks (at least the two I use daily- therefore I assume this problem would follow me elsewhere I might attempt to access a PW-protected network such as WPA/WPA2, etc).
Any ideas where to turn next, or is anyone else having similar problems? Thank you-

Hi, Troy5.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of the router can correct the issue that you are experiencing. However, the issue could be a little more complex. Wi-Fi routers need adjustments to settings periodically for optimized performance with the constant progression of wireless device technology. Below, I have included two articles. The first article will cover basic Wi-Fi troubleshooting regarding iOS device connection. The second article cover the recommended settings for current Wi-Fi access points.

Cannot connect to itunes since update to ios6

I upgraded to ios 6 and have read through all the issues everyone is having just like mine, however I have more issues.
as my subject says I cannot connect to itunes, I have tired the jump ahead a year, and it loaded the featured and genius and charts, but i can not see my purchased or updates.
in Safari there are a number of sites that will not load such as barnes and noble. I had the nook app on my ipad 2 and was reading a book when suddenly it quit and the book flat out dissapeared. i decided to reinstall that but I can not get back into barnes and noble or onto the itunes to reinstall the app to see if it can work. at this point my ipad 2 is currently a nice paper wieght and could soon become a frisbie. I want it to work, or I want to go back a step. I need to upgrade my Imac to the newest one, because currently i cant upgrade the apps i have there, and quite frankly im afraid that it will be yet another headache with things not working. I love apple but this is getting to be to much. it was supposed to be less of a headache than pc. (right?)
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do, other than what has already been written,
I also did the reset.
I forgot my network and reset it.
one of my mail apps is not updating, i got rid of that, brought it back and its still not working
my wifi is perfect. i just need help.
thank you

Go to Settings -> WiFi
Touch the blue arrow to the right of your network name. This will bring up the network details.
To the value in the DNS field add the text: ,8.8.8.8
If you are using DHCP this action may need to be redone if a new IP address is assigned.
Note that this should not be necessary. The value in this field should be the Local network address of your router - something like 192.168.1.1. Normally your router should pass any DNS requests to the DNS server your ISP provides. If you are having DNS problems your ISP should correct this.
FYI a DNS server translates symbolic network addresses like www.apple.com to numeric IP addresses. You can see that if this isn't working correctly that you will have problems getting to anywhere on the Internet.

Anyone still having issues with connecting to wifi since updating to IOS 6.1.1 (iPhone 4S)?

It worked for about 5 mins every 40 mins up until 12 hours after updating the software. The wifi is greyed out (can't turn on or off) now, and I am becoming rather frustrated with this as I have been without internet for at least a week now, with my work relying heavily upon internet access. Any help would be great, I have done the hard reset, a normal shut-down, and I have restored my iPhone twice now and still no change. ANY help would be fantastic!

I'm having the exact same problem! However, mine hasn't worked at all even after resetting network settings, restoring phone from back up and as a new iPhone, drained the battery and turned the phone on and off. I am really angry because apple released an update yesterday to fix bugs specifically on iPhone 4S and it has done nothing. My idea would be to book an appointment with your local apple store. I have one on Saturday and hopefully they will replace the phone as I am still under warranty. If you're not still under warranty I think it'll cost you some money, which ***** because its apples fault.

Wvc54gc not connecting wireless locally since updating firmware to V1.26

Pretty please help me. I've read through many web posts about getting my wireless camera to work. But nothing seems to match my situation or I've tried it already. The camera use to work wirelessly and then I decided to update the firmware to V1.26. Now it only works hardwired, not even wireless locally. I have 64-bit WEP enabled. I've resetted to factory defaults and put in my information again. I selected fixed IP. I have a netgear router.
Suggestions?

Was the issue resolved from this thread? I too am having this issue after upgrading recently to firmware v1.26. I disabled the security on my linksys wrt54g router and still cannot get the camera to get an ip wirelessly. When using a network cable it will get an ip and and I can access it using my browser. Can you please help me ? The camera used to work fine before upgrading the firmware.

Cannot connect to any IM clients since updating to snow leopard.

Hey Guys
I'm having a problem with my IM clients since updating to 10.6. I use Adium primarily and have Microsoft messenger through Office 2008 installed. Every time I try and connect to the servers I get a message in Adium telling me it has a connection error and Microsoft Messenger tells me I am not connected to the internet. I have tried other clients such as Pidgin and have the same issues and my MSN still works on my windows desktop. I am absolutely stuck with what to do. Adium support says that as it doesnt work on Microsoft messenger its nothing to do with them and its a issue on my side :S.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for responding guys. I looked to see if their was a firewall option somewhere I could disable or make a exemption for but came up with nothing. Today I reinstalled snow leopard again and every thing seems ok now. I really am not sure what the problem was.
Thanks for your help anyway. this could help others in a similar situation.

Since updating to Lion I can no longer screen share on Snow Leopard

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone might have some insight to the problem I'm experiencing with Screen Sharing. I have two macs that I use - one is a Mac Mini 2010 Server model running Snow Leopard. The other is a MacBook that is running Lion.
Since updating to Lion on the notebook, I can no longer access screen sharing through the Mac mini to the MacBook (Can't see the Lion screen through the computer with snow leopard). I AM able to screen share the other way (see the snow leopard screen through the macbook running Lion).
It's aggrivating, in as much as these computers are on two different floors of my company, and being able to see the screen makes life easier.
I should also point out that I am able to successfully share the hard drives / files between both computers going back and forth (Snow Leopard to Lion and Lion to Snow Leopard) - it's just the screen sharing that no longer functions. When I attempt to access the other computer screen it will act like it is signing in but just hangs and does nothing.
I know there is probably much more information that someone will need to help me solve this, but I don't know where to look. But I'm hoping that with at least this much information you might be able to tell me where to look to get this corrected.
Much thanks.

If you want.
or maybe install Snow Leopard using the disc it came on with my Mac and just set it up from a Time Machine Backup on my external hard drive (since it works under SL)?
Did you install Lion on an empty partition, or did you upgrade Snow Leopard? If you upgraded, I'd not recommend erasing it, since your backups are apparently gone. It's doubtful Snow Leopard will recognize them.
It's not just backups on the drive either, there are other important things on there, so why won't they show?
Mixing Time Machine backups and other data is not a good idea. See #3 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. It sounds like the whole disk is corrupted.
I just really don't understand how this happened. Could it not be an issue with WD because they haven't issued firmware to support Lion yet?
If this is a simple external HD, connected by USB or FireWire, no, unless you installed some of WD's software on it. That shouldn't prevent it from being seen at all, but anything's possible.

Since update to iOS 7, every time I open an app a pop up message telling me to connect to iTunes to use push notifications comes up. EVERY TIME! How do I make it stop???

Do you use iTunes with your iPad and if so, have you tried syncing your iPad with iTunes since you updated the iOS?
