Getting a Wi-Fi connection timeout issue in 10.7.4

I am having massive amounts of trouble connecting to my Wi-Fi router, currently running 10.7.4 and just done a totally fresh install (no time machine restore) I've seen people having this problem a lot but those posts were from last year (around 10.7.2) I've tried creating a new location and renewing the DHCP lease, connecting over ethernet works fine what on earth is going on here!? I can provide any info you need if it helps

bump, has no one got any suggestions i can try?

MBP wifi "connection timeout" issue

My 2010 macbook pro has trouble connecting to many wifi networks. It works fine connecting to my network at home, but any sort of public wifi or hotel or friend's network is likely to give it trouble.
I get the "connection timeout" issue, and I know that I'm not the only one, but I didn't manage to find anything that worked from scouring this forum. Just to delinate the issue: all my other devices (iPad, iPhone, other laptops) connect fine to wifi networks in exactly the same places. I managed to find a workaround by getting a cheap wifi dongle that connects fine in precisely the same places that the MBP's built-in antenna does not. Is there any way to fix this, or am I just stuck dongling it up?

Try going into Network Preferences > Wi-Fi > Advanced. Click the network you're trying to join and click the minus button. This forces your mac to forget any saved credentials associated with that network and it will try to make a fresh connection. You can also try Network Preferences > Assist me... > Diagnostics to give you some more troubleshooting suggestions. It will probably tell you to restart your router/modem which sometimes works but you're usually not allowed to do to this to a public wifi hotspot.
It's also possible that your AirPort Extreme card, which is the part your mac uses to connect to wifi, is failing. Since 2010's are no longer under warranty, you can look up the iFixit guides to see if you're feeling adventurous enough to replace it yourself (if it is replaceable).

Connection timeout issues

Hi, I recently updated my 2011 MBP to the latest version 10.8.4 and ever since, I am unable to hold onto a wifi signal. I am continually getting 'connection timeout'
It works perfectly when wired via ethernet.
This is driving me crazy!
Any ideas on how to fix this issue?
It worked perfectly before the update!
Thanks

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Some of these steps are only possible if you have control over the wrieless router.
Step 1
Restart the router and the computer. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 2
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 3
Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
Step 4
In OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and fix the issues listed in the Summary, if any.
Step 5
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 6
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 7
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
Step 8
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).

Connection timeout issues with Time Capsule

I have a first generation 500 GB Time Capsule, with AT&T Uverse internet service. The device worked fine up until 3 weeks ago, at which time I received a "connection timeout" error when trying to connect from any of the computers in the house. At that time, the computers were showing that the wireless network was available, but I was just unable to connect. I could connect to the device using the ethernet connection, and the wired computer would still successfully backup.
I restarted the Time Capsule, and everything immediately returned to normal. Everything worked fine for about a week, and then the problem occurred again. The issue has been occurring more and more frequently, to the point that it now is only working for several hours before requiring a reset.
Has anybody experienced anything similar to this? Any thoughts on a solution to this?

Hi I had similar problems. I moved houses got my own cable modem and tried to use the TC as my wireless, as i had it in my other home. The connection would drop constantly and i was unable to use the TC as a wireless device, it would also freeze my computer (mac book Pro). After asking everyone for help i found that when i moved the TC next to the cable modem in the garage it all worked. Apparently the ethernet cable that ran from the garage to the living room was only using 4 of the 8 pins and thus was dropping the connection. i am now connected directly from the modem to the tc and it has not failed yet (cross my fingers). After all this was suppose to be wireless and thus i don't need to have it right next to my computer. The signal is strong and it has not caused any problems. I didn't mess with the settings after i did a hard reset on the TC. So far so good. hopes this helps.

Connection timeout on hotel wifi - only with MacBook8.1 (810.9) configd plug-in:8.1 (810.9)

I'm having a "Connection Timeout" issue while trying to connect to my hotel's WIFI.
I bought an ex-lease refurbished white MacBook (Build 12E55 - 2.4GHz, the last 2010 model I think) a couple of weeks ago. I bought it so I could use it while on vacation in Bali, Indonesia. I've got OS X 10..8.4 installed.
At home in Australia, this MacBook connected to my home WIFI with absolutely no issues at all.
Now that I'm in Bali, I'm surprised to find that every time I try to connect to the WIFI at the hotel (where I'm staying for a whole month), I get a "Connection Timeout" error. I'm surprised because my iPhone connects to the hotel WIFI with no problem at all, as does our two iPads and the Android phones that belong to other family members. It's only my MacBook that struggles, even though I get even better signal strength indicated on my MacBook compared to my other devices.
I can connect my MacBook to my iPhone hotspot fine, though I'd prefer to use the free hotel WIFI over my very small 3G data allowance.
So the problem isn't that my MacBook can't connect to any WIFI, because it did at home and it still can to my iPhone hotspot.
And the problem isn't with the router, because all other devices work flawlessly.
I've trawled many forums and articles trying to find a solution. Here's everything I've tried already, that I can remember. (Not in this order and not all at once.)
Rebooted MacBook (duh)
Sitting directly under the WIFI router. (It's not a signal strength issue.)
Set up new Network > Location. Deleted Ethernet and Bluetooth PAN so it's just WIFI in the list.
Renewed DHCP Lease countless times.
Tried manual TCP/IP variations. It doesn't help that I'm not sure what to put in the IPv4 Address field. I do know the Subnet Mask and Router IP from looking at my iPhone network info.
Tried using my MAC address as the DHCP Client ID. Also tried just using "1" or leaving it blank.
I don't know what an IPv6 is either.
Tried BootP and completely Manual setups but not really sure of the correct settings to try.
Tried using the DNS servers that I found on my iPhone network info for the hotel WIFI. (One of them is 8.8.8.8 which I think is Google's DNS thing?)
Tried checking Auto Proxy Discovery and Use Passive FTP Mode, since it was suggested as part of a solution in a forum thread.
Tried changing the MTU to a couple of other settings from an article I read. I think one was around 1453 and the other was 1494 or something close to that.
Tried resetting PRAM
Tried resetting SMC
Tried a variation on resetting SMC that involved pressing down the normal keys plus one extra, for 10 secs, since it worked for someone who was told to do that by an Apple Care person. (He didn't know why it worked and other forum posters thought it was supposed to have been a SMC reset.)
Checked the Network> Wi-Fi in System Information to see if the Channel is compatible. The router uses Channel 1 and my MacBook is capable of using Channel 1.
Checked my country profile. It's X1. I have no idea if that's good. All I know is that I'm in Indonesia not Australia and I'm having WIFI issues with this hotel network.
Checked the PHY Mode. Supported are 802.11 a/b/g/n. The hotel router uses 802.11n.
Made sure I was using WPA2 Personal.
Tried deleting all WIFI-related passwords in Keychain.
Tried deleting all Network-related preference files.
Tried removing all LaunchDaemons and LaunchAgents.
It's not a "lost WIFI connection when waking from sleep" issue but I tried turning off sleep anyway.
My husband even had the nerve to unplug the hotel router (small hotel, we're the only guests at the moment) for 10 minutes hoping it will reboot. But I don't know if that's the actual modem or just a WIFI repeater thing (sorry, can't remember the right terms). It didn't work anyway.
I've run out of options, other than just sucking it up and getting a big 3G data allowance since I'm here for a month.
If there is anything else I can try - perhaps working out how to set up my Network manually properly, please help me out. Here is everything in System Information that might help. I'll happily provide any other info.

CoreWLAN:

Sorry. The topic title got mucked up when I tried to paste in my System Information. And I can't paste it in using my iPhone without it going haywire. I can provide any details you need.

Problem downloading ios 5 - connection timeout during processing

After waiting 6mins for the ios 5 download, it reaches the last stage 0.01kb before completion with the message 'processing' and then it cancels and I get a message saying 'connection timeout error'. All my other internet services and downloads are working fine. I have installed and reinstalled itunes 10.5.
Is anyone else experiancing this? And what can I do??

Interesting all the issues with upgrading to IOS 5 for the IPhone 4. When I upgraded mine several weeks ago it took 3 attempts then worked. My daughter has had no end of trouble with hers....15 20 times, keeps coming up with errors. Same issues as everyone else. Just tried one fix that was noted.......turn off firewall and bingo all worked. It is a pity issues like this aren't recognised by Apple and resolved.....Anyway one happy IPhone 4 user. Thanks guys

Big tables from MySql to MSSql error Connection timeout

HI,
I have a big database around 46GB in Mysql format and I managed to convert all the database to MSsql except two tables, the biggest ones. When I try to migrate those 2 tables, one by one , after a while I get the error message "Connection timeout and
was disabled"
I encreased the timeout from SSMA option from 15 to 1440 and decreased the basc from 1000 to 500 and same thing, The tables have 52 mil rows and 110 milion rows with 1,5 GB and 6.5 GB.
What can I do to migrate them
Thank You

Hi,
According to your description, we need to verify that if you have installed the latest version of
MySQL ODBC driver. If you have installed it, in order to make a shorter duration transaction and avoid the timeout, you can try to reduce the batch size to lower value such as 200 or 100 in
SSMA option. Also, as Raju’s post, you can try to use incremental data migration in SSMA to migrate lager tables, then check if it is successful.
In addition, you can use other methods to migrate big tables from MySQL to SQL Server. For example, you can copy the data directly from SQL Server using OpenQuery, and you could include WHERE clause to limit the rows. For more details, please review this
blog ：Migrate MySQL to Microsoft SQL Server. Or you can write queries for MySQL to export your data as csv, and then use the
BULK INSERT features of SQL Server to import the csv data.
Thanks

Wifi connectivity timeout

Hi All,
I have mac book Air 2012 with following OS
OS X 10.8.2 (12C3006)
Recently My Wifi connection droped time to time at Office. But now i can not connect to Wifi at all.Its giving connection timeout issue most of the time. But my home wifi connection working fine.
Others can connect to wifi without any issue at Office. But they are using other Brands not Apple.
Please help me to solve this issue.

@semperfiguy: Do trial and error. Your functions are utilized as widgets. I have many home-made and borrowed functions and have no problem. First, test your settings with the default rc.lua and tell us if something is still wrong. Are all your modules up to date? Nvidia drivers/kernel? (Sorry but NOT everybody does this .
Also, what kind of machine/arch (32-bit/64-bit) are you running? I use 64 bit amd with 64 bit archlinux and an nvidia card.
Lastly, if it's not any trouble, try trial and error on widgets and notifications, using lua comments to comment your widgets out and keep adding them back. I suggest you change your volume hook for example. Your hooks load rather quickly. I would do Gmail notification every 5 minutes or so and my volume hook updates every 10 seconds but getVol is displayed as soon as I mouse over to change the volume. Instead, If you are using a tray, you can replace naughty notification with Noteo, highly recommended. I do not suggest checking gpu temp so often with nvidia-settings. Do you have powermizer and thermal monitor on in nvidia-settings?
Use lua style comments to comment all custom widgets out then gradually add them again, noticing any difference while we look over your rc.lua/functions.lua. Also, load the same background processes and try using a different WM to see if the same thing occurs. Hope to hear back. I don't see anything wrong in functions.lua.

XI adapter polling issue & JDBC / DB2 driver connection timeout properties

Hello Group,
We have a long running issue with our XI 7.0 system running on iseries. (V5R3) The issue occuring is that our XI adapters stop polling and the only resolution is to restart the J2EE engine or to resart the adapter framework services.
We have had several OSS messages open on this subject for over a year and are going round in circles with the a number of different SAP consultants.
The one topic that we keep coming back to is that we are being asked to set DB2 driver connection timeout properties. We are using the toolbox driver and have upated to the latest JTopen driver, but have not managed to find any inofrmation on how to set the timeout parameter. Does anyone know where the timeout parameter set?
Has anyone experienced polling issue like this before and how did you resolve?
SAP referred to the SAP note 1078420 - XI/PI JDBC Adapter: Setting JDBC driver properties for DB which is for Oracle, but this will give an idea of what timeout parameters SAP are asking about.
Extract of the note is below:-
Symptom
This note gives an option to set JDBC driver properties while acquiring a DB connection. When connecting to DB using JDBC adapter there are instances
where DB connection take a long time to establish connection. Some times call made to Driver will hang permanently. Setting driver properties would resolve this problem.
More Terms
Connection timeout, time out, query timeout
Cause and Prerequisites
Solution
In the advanced mode table section of sender channel and receiver channel configurations, we can set driver properties for each DB connection. Any
such property would have to contain prefix 'driver:'(with out quotes) For example, for Oracle Database JDBC thin driver 10.2.0.3 version, the
property oracle.jdbc.ReadTimeout helps to set read timeout while reading from the socket. Also for setting login time out in Oracle, we use
oracle.net.CONNECT_TIMEOUT. To set these two properties use as follows:
driver:oracle.jdbc.ReadTimeout 1000
driver:oracle.net.CONNECT_TIMEOUT 1000
(The TimeOut Driver properties like ReadTimeout and CONNECT_TIMEOUT are in milliseconds)
Refer to your DB documentation/ JDBC driver documentation on this. Please note that properties can vary from each driver version. For instance, some
of properties of Oracle JDBC thin Driver 10.2.0.3 properties may not be present in older version drivers. Please contact DB vendor for the complete
list of driver properties. In addition to above, we also provide another parameter for query time out.
sqlquerytimeout (prefix 'driver:' is not required) is the parameter that is to be used for SQL query time out. This is case-sensitive and should be
configured as positive integer value in seconds(greater than 0).
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
With regards,
Steven

Hello,
I am not talking about the XI timeouts. But the timeouts which can be used to get the connection timeouts for DB2/AS400 databases.
So please provide that information.
THanks,
soorya

BSP timeout issue - 500 connection timeout(-5)

Hi all,
I know there were quite a bit of postings regarding this topic, however, I could not locate the appropriate solution to the scenario that we are currently experiencing. Any input on this is greatly appreciated. We have also posted an OSS message regarding this as well.
ERROR:
500 Connection timed out (-5)
Error: -5
Version: 6020
Component: ICM
Module: icxxthr_mt.c
Line: 2464
Detail: Connection to partner timed out
We have a stateless BSP application, and the page in question is set as "stateful from now until page change", and the page type is flow logic. We have this application running in production for a year now, and always receive complaints from a specific user that she can't load up her page (a 500 connection timeout(-5) error got displayed instead). Our basis folks have set up the TIMEOUT parameter as 900 secs, and the icm/keepalive parameter as 60 secs. We attempted to test with the same amount of data in both our test and production environments, and with the same system parameter settings (TIMEOUT and icm/keepalive parameters), however, we noticed we did not get timed out in our test environment, but continued to get a connection timeout error in the production environment (only when we retrieved data from this user). We tried to troubleshoot by following the steps listed below.
1) We tried to narrow down to see whether it was the data extraction part within the program that's prolonging the process. We executed the Function module in the backend (R/3) that will perform the data extraction of the program, and on average, it took about 100,000,000 microseconds to finish running in both environment. And most of the time, the Function Module in our production environment finished faster than our Test environment.
2) Next step, we executed the BSP application via our portal environments(test and production), and we did not get a timeout error in the test envionrment; however, in our production environment, within 2 minutes or so, we received a connection timeout error.
The differences between the 2 systems is minimal, and in fact, our production server is much powerful (hardware wise) than our test system. Other than some "unknown to us" system settings (from looking at the error, it's ICM related?), I cannot think of what else will cause the connection timeout that we are currently facing. I spoke with our basis folks, and they have no idea either. Can this be user specific (I doubt it)?
Any help or input from anyone is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for all your help!!!
Best regards,
Cyanna

Thanks Raja and Amandeep for your response. All the system profile are consistent across the production server. I have a question for Amandeep. What's exactly a frame swap application? Is it portal related? We are still trying to troubleshoot the issue, and we are still trying to figure out whether there is a system parameter difference between the 2 systems. We even checked the BSP performance wiki.....
Please, any help you can offer is greatly appreciated!
Thanks much and regards,
Cyanna

Why do i get connection timeout at my workplace

I upgraded yesterday to Lion and as soon as it installed I couldnt get back online at my workplace. I am connecting to an unsecured wifi.
Getting the CONNECTION TIMEOUT error message. Anyone else having similiar problem or any idea how to solve it?
Cheers

I am having a similar problem. When I got my new MBA, it connected fine on the unsecured network at work, but will no longer connect and keeps giving me the CONNECTION TIMEOUT error. I can connect fine at home and on several other wireless networks I tried. My IT department said that they have not had any issues with the network. If anyone know the solution to this, it would be greatly appreciated.

I am getting a "connection timeout" message when trying to access my Airport Extreme with various laptops, Play Station 3 and Wii. My Airport Extreme is about a month old; it was working fine until about a week ago. Suddenly, the "timeout" is not allowing me to connect to my wireless network.

It could be that there's a new source of interference.

Why do i keep getting the "internet connection timeout" error message?

i have been upgrading a few standard itunes albums to itunes plus versions through my 3g mobile broadband connection, while not exactly a fast process, it was working fine until i started to get a backlog of 3 or 4 albums which were waiting in a queue to be downloaded, now every time i do the "check for downloads" option i get the "internet connection timed out" error message...this has been going on for 2 days! am i right in suspecting the backlog of albums is too much for my 3g mobile broadband connection? this is really doing my head in, if any of you techies could help me, it'd be much appreciated...?

yes i have recently updated to itunes 8.2.1, but i am starting to think its apple's servers (i tried to download at my brothers house...different computer and connection...same connection timeout error), because it will still let me download an album, but not necessarily all of the tracks. when i questioned itunes customer services about the seemingly hit and miss state of affairs with downloading, they told me to wait 3 weeks before trying to download the tracks that were giving me the grief (2 tracks from an arctic monkeys album)...which kinda indicates they know there is a problem and are trying to fix it, why else would they say wait 3 wks??? they gave me 5 free music tracks too, which is handy.

What is the make & model of your home Wi-Fi router that you are attempting to connect your G5 iMac to? Which exact model of iMac do you have?
What wireless security type is your router using: WEP, WPA, or WPA2? If you temporarily disable wireless security, can the iMac connect to it now?
