Fix for wireless signal issue in Leopard

1. Open your computer
2. Find the cable that attach your airport card to your system board
3. Unplug then reattach both ends
Worked for my "connection failed", "low signal strength" issues.

Seriously, is that how this problem has to be fixed? I think I'd rather have an Apple person do it, than try it myself.
Everything else has worked so nicely and the reputation of Mac is so high that it's been vastly disappointing that my new Mac keeps "forgetting" how to connect, the password for connection, and the keyboard freezes up. And to top it all off, the AppleCare support that I paid extra for isn't available when I need them!

Fix for wireless connection issues on MacBook Pro - reinstall OS!

I hope this helps some of you out there.
I was having all the usual problems with connectivity with the MacBook Pro I bought in January 09. It dropped the signal constantly and if I closed the top, it would make me search for my network again then it would give me the "connection timeout message" over and over again. I couldn't get anything done either at home or anywhere else. I finally took it in to the genius bar but they couldn't replicate the problem so I was sent home. The guy did, however, suggest reinstalling the OS (which I thought was a dumb idea since it had to be the airport card right?). Since it was a week away from the release of Snow Leopard I waited.
Once I installed Snow Leopard all was fixed. It has now been almost 2 weeks and I haven't lost a signal once - the difference is amazing. I feel liberated!!
Try a reinstall or upgrade to 10.6. and good luck. Post here to let us know if it works for you. Don't forget to backup your date first!

Nope I'm not trying to tether. I would like to be able to use a wifi connection on my mac and other devices. I've gotten by so far just hooking up my mac to the ethernet port, but that requires me to be in my room. I know its possible since there a bunch of networks nearby (locked of course), but I just can't figure out how to get mine working.
I'm living in an apartment across the street from campus that is sort of school-owned...well its private but the internet service is provided by the campus since only students live here. So we have to register anything that we want to use on the school's network. On campus I can use wifi on my mac or iphone. Its troubling how I can use the ethernet cable just fine, but when I connect it to my router (which I registered through the school as well)...nothing. Technically this should be working easily - but maybe you're right on the network security accessability...or maybe my router is old...or my mac doesn't like my router? I've had this problem before during my undergrad years except I was dealing with a cable provider and not the school.
Maybe I should just make friends with my neighbors and find out how they set up theirs haha.

A Fix for Wireless Connection Problems

I’ve been struggling with connection problems for a week. Thankfully, I found a fix. Your mileage may vary, but this may be your answer:
Fix for Wireless Connection Problems on MacBook Pro

Yeah BR, please tell me what your cure is. I have the same setup as you, Vista with the same wireless card you have. Cannot stay connected to the internet. Have spent hours on the phone with tech support and they can't fix it. I hate this f....ing computer, will never buy another one. Please let me know what you did. Once I get it running right I'm selling it and will buy a cheap Dell, never have any problems with them. I have keyboard problems, capital letter problems, connection problems, and download can take 1 to 2 days. Pure BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OS X Lion: Fix for wireless not reconnecting when exiting sleep mode

http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/18931/os-x-lion-fix-for-wireless-not-reconnecting -when-exiting-sleep-mode/

I have the same symptoms with a 2011 iMac and my Senheiser Bluetooth headphones.
10.7.3 did not correct this bug.
I'm also using MS Messenger and notification sounds are also buffered until the headphones are switched on.
I found other threads dealing with this bug :
https://discussions.apple.com/message/5962104#5962104
https://discussions.apple.com/message/12837199#12837199

https://discussions.apple.com/message/15856803#15856803
I'm currently trying the tip given in the last discussion :
"Success - in the Audio Midi Setup (Applications/Utilities) I changed the output to 2ch - 32bit Float and all the audio works well."
My headphones already had this setting, but internal speakers had 2ch - 24bit... is it a possible explanation ? Time will tell ...

Hi JBKL, and a warm welcome to the forums!
For the Ethernet Location... Is that Interface dragged to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations?
It may be that the Router needs a Firmware update to keep up with the OS Updates... check online, don't trust any automatic checking feature in the Router.
Where are we now?

Alternate fix for Wireless Networking

Hi all,
I haven't gone through the board lately, so I'm not sure if this has already appeared or not, but if you are still having issues with Leopard dropping your networking and refusing to reconnect even if it is a remembered/saved network, this is something that I stumbled upon that may help.
1) Go into System Preferences
2) Click on Network
3) Click on Airport
4) Click on Advance...
5) Select your wireless network that is shown in the list (click on it only once!)
5) Click the "-" button to remove the network
6) Click Ok
7) Click Apply
8) Close System Preferences
9) Open Keychain Access (use Spotlight to find it if you need to)
10) Click on login under the Keychains list
11) Click on Passwords under the Category list
12) Select the name of your wireless network under the Name list (click only once!)
13) Delete it (Note: You may be required to enter an administrator password when performing this step)
14) Click on System under the Keychains list
15) Click on Passwords under the Category list
16) Click on the name of your wireless network under the Name list (click only once!)
17) Delete it (Note: You may be required to enter an administrator password when performing this step)
18) Quit Keychain Access
19) Click on your AirPort status icon in the Apple toolbar at the top of your screen (click only once!)
20) Select Join Other Network... (do this EVEN IF your network is showing in the list already!!)
21) Type in the name of your network under Network Name
22) Select the type of security your network uses under Security
23) Enter your password/key into the Password field
24) Ensure that Remember this network IS CHECKED
25) Click on Join
With any luck, you should be successfully reconnected to your wireless network. This seems to work every time I try it when my PowerBook refuses to reconnect to the network.
NOTE: If the above steps don't work right away, I've found it also to be useful to still perform the steps and then restart the computer and perform them again to ensure everything is cleared.

I have been searching high and low for a fix to this and none have worked…until now!
I spotted a fix to this problem that strangely centered on the specific location of the “System Preferences.app”, if other than the standard location of the root of the “Applications” folder. I had in fact moved mine and would NEVER have thought it related to this bug. Hmmm!
If you have moved the System Preferences application (not alias, actual app) to any other location for any reason, your newly joined preferred network will NOT be properly remembered and will NEVER be properly rejoined. Apparently one of the multi-step system procedures involved in properly saving a preferred network assumes the location of System Preferences to be the standard location. Period.
FIX:
1) Move “System Preferences.app” back to “Applications\”.
2) Delete all instances of “Preferred Networks” in “Network Preferences”.
3) Delete all “Airport network password” instances in “Keychain Access”.
4) Restart your Mac.
5) Add/Join applicable preferred network using the Airport pulldown menu or in Network Preferences (as if for the first time). Use “Advanced” in “Network Preferences” to confirm the existence of your preferred network and the correct settings. Use “Keychain Access” to confirm the existence of the applicable “Airport network password” instance and the correct settings.
6) Restart your Mac. The OS should now find your preferred network and join it on its own. Good Luck!
NOTE: Simply moving back System Preferences will NOT suffice. Deleting and re-adding/joining the preferred network is a must after the app has been moved.

MacBook Pro wireless signal issue

I've been experiencing this issue for at least a month now and it is driving me up the wall. Occasionally, my wireless signal will drop and I'll either be unable to connect to websites, or when I do it takes a very long time. And the only cure I find for this is to go to the menu bar and 'Turn Airport Off', wait a sec, then 'Turn Airport On'. This is a pain and I'm sick of doing it.
The drop occurs intermittently, some times once a day, sometimes 10 times in as many minutes. Most of the time I can see the signal indicator in the menu bar drop from 4 bars to 3. Also, it isn't a matter of signal strength as I am sitting 10 feet from the router.
I know it's not an issue with my ISP (Verizon Fios) or their router, because wired hosts dont have this problem and the wireless Windows hosts in my house dont have the problem.
I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue, and if there is a fix. Thanks.

So is this an authoritative answer? I have seen exactly the same problem. My wife's MacBook Pro keeps losing its connection, but my iMac G4 and my Powerbook G4 work fine. We are all talking to the same Dlink DI-524 WAP, but only her MacBook Pro has this problem.
The workaround I have been using is to renew her dhcp lease every time she loses contact. This works, but it's a PIA as you say.
If I were to want to go back to 10.4.8, how on earth does one do that? Does Apple have any official opinion on this problem, or better yet, a fix?

Is there a fix for the 'mute' issue when receiving/makings calls? I can hear them but they can't hear me..

I've read about this being a common issue with the iPhone 4S, particularly with iOS 5.1.1. I spoke with someone at apple tech support and did a hard reset - no luck. She mentioned that replacing the phone was a possible solution but I'd rather use that as a last resort - I haven't heard the greatest things about turn around time with apple's warranty.
Is there a fix for this? The person on the other end (whether it's an outbound or an inbound call) can't hear me at all. I can hear everything fine. Speakerphone works fine. Facetime works fine. Checked my mute button, on/off/on/off, no luck. Checked all my settings and can't figure it out.
Any ideas?

I ended up getting a new phone, straight through Apple. I called their technical support and went through all he basics again and they decided to replace it. Was a pretty quick process - after defaulting and resetting the whole phone (about 2 hours), I called them back to inform that there was no change, so they set up the order.
I had to give my CC# so they could hold a charge on it (in case I didn't send my old phone bach, which they sent me a pre-posted package to send it in anyway). Had a brand new iPhone 4S in my hands in 4 days, which was pretty decent. I had uploaded everything previously to iCloud, so setting up the new phone was a snap.
Only thing I really didn't like was they charged me almost 30 bucks for shipping or processing, or something. Not so sure that should have been my responsibility after spending so much on a brand new product, only to have to have it warrantied after, like, a month.

FIX for Canon MP 600 after leopard installation

I discovered a fix for the Canon MP 600 after the leopard installation. After many challenges and troubleshooting with no positive results I tried something that worked!
Go to Applications on the HD, choose Utilities, Choose airport Utility.app. It will open and ask if you would like an update to the Airport Extreme Utility. Choose 'update' and follow instructions. I then went into the System Preferences, removed the MP 600 printer, downloaded the MP 600 driver from the Canon Website and installed it. I then rebooted the computer, went back to System Preferences, added in the MP 600 and all was working well.
I hope this helps someone.

on the 'rinting' topics, someone suggested throwing away all the drivers and downloading from the websiet. And it worked.
thanks to all who thought about it

Does Security Update '07-004 have fix for ethernet networking issues?

Folks:
Have some posts trying to find out why my now 10.4.9 iBook won't connect to my still happy with 10.1.5 iMac using IP/TCP Connect to server methods. And after some digging I found a number of threads that mention a specific bug that is causing this problem. Rather than spending time to bring peripherals that aren't overused up to 1049 specs--I'd like to know if the recent security update -004 contained the necessary patch so that an Apple computer could connect to another Apple computer? Or, is the info at the thread "How to install just AppleFile Server" still the current fix for this problem? Meaning a command line procedure to fix the issue, which may or may not be easy--but which is completely unknown to me--I don't know who this "Darwin" fellow is or is supposed to be. Thoughts?

Temp P:
Thanks for kindly taking the time to reply to my post. I have read that info before, it's linked from Software Update, but my knowledge of what each of those items is, is not enough to tell me whether it would, or has addressed this "alleged" "issue" that I and others are having trying to connect our computers--from 10.4.9 to any other, I guess, "alien" system; in my case, 10.1.5. This "problem" was posted on this forum earlier in the month--perhaps that is not long enough for mr Apple to get it into a Security Update?

Fix for WebHelp output issues with IE 11 breaks Search function

I use RoboHelp HTML 9 and have been having issues with generated WebHelp in IE 11. The TOC was totally blank and the Search tab looked fine but did not function. Everything worked fine in Firefox. After much experimenting and online research in these forums and elsewhere, I have been able to get the TOC to display properly in IE 11 (and Firefox) but the fix has caused the Search tab to stop functioning as per this other forum post RH9 Webhelp Search function is not working properly.
I need to have BOTH TOC and Search displayed and functioning properly but in order to get the TOC displayed properly I had to change the Preferred Format setting to "Pure HTML" and, according to the post mentioned above, that is what messes up the Search function. Is there a solution that will allow both TOC and Search to function properly?
Here is a summary of the steps I have taken to get to this point:
Tested WebHelp output from two different projects of my own as well as the Salesbuilder starter project - all would display/function properly in Firefox but not in IE 11 (blank TOC and non-functioning Search).
Found a "patch" for RH10 for the exact problem I was having with RH9 but was not able to find a version for RH9. Since the patch included 2 files (whutils.js and whver.js) only, I backed up these files in the RoboHTML\WebHelp5Ext\template_stock directory and replaced them with the new ones.
Regenerated one of my RoboHelp projects - still didn't work in IE 11 and now didn't work in Firefox either!
Tried turning on Mark of the Web but this did not help and would not allow opening PDF's which is necessary to one of the projects so I turned it off again.
Changed Preferred Format setting to "Pure HTML" instead of "DHTML" and the TOC displayed and functioned properly in IE 11 and Firefox! Hurray!!
Celebrated for 10 seconds until I clicked on Search tab and saw the input box filled with letters of the alphabet with other random letters, words, numbers below. It looks almost like an index but neither of my projects uses an index and I have not generated one in either project.
Found the post mentioned above which states that the solution is to change the Preferred Format setting back to DHTML but when I do that I am back to blank TOC and proper-looking but non-functioning Search!!!
I have now removed the Search tab from the output of one of the projects since it is not really necessary but I need to find a fix for this for my other project.
Both of my projects are run locally - one is release documentation that is distributed on a CD and the other is CSH which is loaded on the local server with the software for which it was created.
Dorothy
Note to Administrators: Sorry, but I originally posted this as a reply to a previous post - Contents, Index, & Search do not display in generated help... - so perhaps it should be removed from that thread to avoid confusion.

The "preliminary" fix provided has worked perfectly! All versions of my WebHelp project now display TOC properly and I was able to change the Preferred Format setting back to DHTML so the Search tab both displays and functions as it should. I am very grateful to William for providing this fix which works in both IE 11 and Firefox. Someday I will pursue the fixes to make it work in Chrome as well.

WRT310N wireless signal issues.

My router works fine when wired. But, when i try to search for the wireless signal from my laptop or my PSP2000, it doesn't even show up on the available network connections. My laptop network adaptor is the Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN if that matters any. Any help would be appreciated.

Try to adjust the wireless settings on the router..Open the router setup page by typing 192.168.1.1 in the address bar.Click on the wireless tab,Change the Channel Width 20MHz only and Channel to 11...Keep the Network Mode in "Mixed" and SSID broadcast "enable" and click on save settings...
Under the Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...
Now,power cycle the router and check...

Can my Y2P bought in other countries apply the new update fix for the yellow issue?

Sorry to have new post, but the original post about yellow issue is banned.
I'm plannying to buy Y2P from Hong Kong for long time, but I want to wait for the fix to come out.
Now I see the fix has came out but would there be differences in the content of update for different models as I'm buying the i7 8GB RAM 256GB SSD version of Y2P in Hong Kong? Or could my Y2P directly apply the newly released update for the yellow issue?

Frist apple isnt here so they're not going to here your message. second you should try the following
-restart phone
-reset phone
-reset network setting
-restore the device as new

I agree. When I tried using symlinks to send calls to bash & sh to tcsh instead, I found a lot of broken shell scripts. I don't think tcsh has been maintained very well since it's use with OS X 10.0 through 10.2. I had better luck with xsh, though.
