Have to manually connect to network after each restart?

When I turned my PB on it would always automatically connect to my home wireless network (after I'd entered the password etc. of course). But now I have to manually select the network everytime I turn it on - I've played with a few settings to no avail and this problem does not occur with other networks that I've joined (at my folks for example). It's not a biggie but I'm scratching my head and it's just a little frustrating. Any ideas? Cheers

Hi,
When I put the computer to sleep... it comes back on with the network I had on before. When I shut it down and restart it, I have to select the one I want... as it can see my neighbors network and on occasion one farther away. If there is only the one, and it's yours with the known password, there is one choice. My daughter brings her laptop over to use my Hi-Speed, and the first time I put in the password... now it goes to it all by itself when she is here, if the neighbors is not on, it's automatic. Otherwise, she too has to select which network she wants to join.
Fewer options are better, otherwise too many choices and you have to tell the Mac what you want today.
Enjoy

  • Do I have to manually mount my network drives?

    I've set up a couple of partitions on a USB disk attached to my AEBS. One of the partitions is being used for time machine across a few different machines.
    Should I have to manually mount the network drives each time I start my machines? I've see time machine errors involving the backup disk not being found and I'm wondering about the details around the network drives use.
    TIA,
    David

    I didn't
    my clock changed to wintertime
    and my alarms and appointments use timespans so they start at lets say 14:00 no matter if I go to usa and adjust my clock to match their time or if I go to china and adjust my time to match their time

  • When I open a photo with Preview, it opens all the photos I have viewed previously.  How can I prevent that, other than manually clearing the list after each time?

    Close the pictures before you quit Preview. Cmd-opt-q will close all windows and quit. cmd-opt-w will close all windows and not quit.
    Or, Disable automatically opening files that were left open in General System Preferences

    Depends on your browser and it may appear in your downloads folder to run.  If you are using IE, it will appear on the bottom of the screen, Google Chrome, bottom of the screen, Firefox, top of the screen with an big arrow

    You can turn on BT tethering but it disables Wifi so if I have to do that step every time I get in my car, I just as well manually connect on BT every time.

  • How to prevent the Firefox cache from clearing -- all settings are right, but the cache is gone after each restart.

    I want to prevent cache from being deleted after each restart. "Clear history when Firefox closes" is unchecked. User.js files are deleted. Checking "Override automatic cache management" made Cache folder appear in addition to Cache2. After exiting Cache is still there, but upon Firefox re-launching, Cache turns into Cache.Trash and promptly disappears. What to do?

    Hello,
    I'm sorry to hear that. Can you please try these solution to address your concern.
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] (or choose the download for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page]) and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the close button [[Image:Close 29]]).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. <!-- Starting in Firefox 31, the Firefox uninstaller no longer lets you remove user profile data.Ref: Bug 432017 and https://support.mozilla.org/kb/uninstall-firefox-from-your-computer/discuss/5279 [Fx31] Windows uninstaller will no longer offer the option to remove personal data -->

  • Can't connect to EM after server restart

    Hope somebody can help me with this problem.
    I have a 10g RAC installation and after a restart of one of the DB_servers i wasn't able to reach the EM console. I'm running on Linux OS.
    This is what i have done:
    - emctl start dbconsole (its started without problems)
    I have checked the portlist.ini file to ensure that im using correct port. It says:
    E.M http port : 1158 - E.M agent port :3938
    I use Mozilla with url: http://servername:1158/em/console/ with no luck.
    It doesnt understand the url and it routed to googel search.
    This actually worked before my restart.
    Could someone give me some hints please.

    This is what i found in the emoms.trc

  • Have to manually select my network each time I open an application

    We recently upgraded to an Intel iMac from a G3 iMac. Everything transferred great using the migration assistant. Our only problem is that we have to manually select our home network each time we open an application such as Safari. Once connected everything works great. It's a minor inconvenience but one I'd like to fix. Probably it's just a simple check box somewhere but I haven't been able to find it. Thanks in advance for any help.

    In the Network perference pane, under Airport, there is a setting that should read "By default join preferred networks." Beneath this setting, there is a list of preferred networks. Make sure that your home network is listed first, and/or delete all others (if any). Also, make sure that the setting "Disconnect from network upon logout" is not selected.

  • When I open Firefox, it is not automatically opening a network connection. I have to manually open the network connection before browsing. How do I get Firefox to automatically open the connection?

    I have to click on the network connections icon and ask it to refresh before Firefox makes the connection. This never happened with Explorer and I don't remember it happening the first few months with Firefox. Did I foul up my settings somehow? Or add plug-in or extension that is causing this?

    Every now and then, you should run these programs<BR><BR>

  • Have to manually connect to Airport

    A few weeks ago, I turned off my Time Capsule's security for a short time.  I meant to turn it back on after an hour, but I forgot until about a week later, and then I couldn't remember which security setting I was using, so I just picked one.  I've since tried all of them except the enterprise settings because I'm sure I wasn't using those.  Since turning the security back on, my 2008 Macbook Pro has a difficulty connecting.  At first it won't see the network at all, then after 30 seconds or so, it pops up on the list and I have to select it.  My wife and daughter have Macbook Airs and those have not problem seeing the network, but have to be manually connected each time the computer is woken up.  Our iPads have no problem connecting at all.  None of these devices have trouble connecting to the network at the school I work at.  Any ideas how to fix this problem?
    Thanks,
    Rob

    You need to delete all the previously remembered settings .. so go to the airport setup in network preference.. there will be a long list of the networks that were used or seen by the airport. Delete them all.
    You might need to disconnect to remove the current one..
    Just use the - button at the bottom of the listing..
    Once you remove them all.. reboot the laptop (Old PC habits die hard .. it might not be necessary at all but I like to start over with a boot knowing it is clean).. then select the network from the TC and put in your password again.

  • MacBook no longer auto-connects to network after 10.4.8

    I have a MacBook and use Airport to connect to my wireless router. It always used to auto-connect to my router upon booting up. Now that I've installed the 10.4.8 update, it no longer connects automatically. I have to click on the Airport icon on the toolbar and select my network; only then will it connect.
    I have already read this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304482
    and followed its directions, but it did not solve the problem.
    (Incidentally, I do not use WPA2, just WPA Personal.)
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    From http://www.macsonly.com/ , today
    not tested :
    After we tested the latest Mac OS X update, v10.4.8, on our 2.33GHz 24" iMac Core 2 Duo, we added another user account for the long-term tester. But after a restart or cold start, the iMac would reconnect to our AirPort network but it would get assigned an internal IP address rather than one from our router so it would not connect to the internet.
    This problem could be temporarily solved by using the AirPort menu icon to turn off and then turn back on the AirPort card. This was frustrating because the original user account on our iMac continued to connect automatically to the network and internet after a restart or sleep as did all of our other Macs upgraded to 10.4.8.
    We tried everything listed by Apple in its technical support articles (e.g. Article Number 304482) and provided on other Web sites, including deleting the preferred network in the System Preferences Network pane and re-adding it. We even tried deleting every AirPort-related preference ".plist" file including the "Networkinterface.plist" as recommended on another Web site yesterday. Nothing worked.
    Then we tried a variation on Apple's suggestion and it worked. Here are the steps:
    Open System Preferences, select the Network pane and select AirPort in the "Show:" popup menu.
    Set the "By default, join:" popup menu to "Preferred networks."
    Delete the listed preferred networks using the "-" button but this time we did not add it back again with the "+" button as Apple recommends.
    Set the "By default, join:" popup menu to "Automatic."
    Restart.
    Manually rejoin the AirPort network using the AirPort menu icon, i.e. selecting the network (or selecting "Other" and typing in the network name if hidden) and typing in the WPA (or WEP) password.
    Now every time we restart our iMac, it automatically connects again to the AirPort network and gets an IP address assigned by the router so that it also connects to the internet. [Bill Fox]
