I have a macbook air that is not connecting to the internet correctly.  I've had it connected for three weeks, it went into sleep mode, and will not reconnect.  It will connect to other wireless routers (I've tested it) but not the one at my apartment.

The problem is not happening with any other device that I have.  My iPad, iPhone and another laptop all connect fine.  In fact, it's not even the connection.  The computer will connect to the net.  It just will not open any page.  It starts to open and then hangs and hangs.  It will not move.  Weird since it worked great for three weeks and then all of the sudden, nothing.  Click on Safari and I have short hope that it will move and NOTHING!  Any thoughts why it would hang up like this and only with this specific network? 

This is a known Lion issue, hopefully solved in 10.7.3. But may not be solved immediatly after updating, that was my case.
To make it work i followed those steps.
1.- Restart
2.- Lion 10.7.2 Update
3.- Uninstall netwokrs
4.- Shut down
5.- SMC reset
6.- Reinstall networks
I dont know whether all the above steps are necessary, but for me the update didn't work properly before SMC reset. (I am running a MBA mid2011)
Hope it helps,
Cheers

  • Computer went into sleep mode and will not wake up!

    I have a HP Pavilion a350n which I love and have never had a problem with it.....until now.
    When I turn it on I get a black screen with a small window that reads "Warning" "PC entering power saving mode"  Then the screen goes blank and the blue power light on the monitor turns an amber color.  The only way I can turn off the computer is with the blue power button on the front of the tower.
    Every "fix" I have come across says to do a System Restore from the Start Menu....How do you get to the start menu when you can't wake up the computer!
    I have tried disconnecting the main power cord from the outlet and reconnecting it and turning the computer back on.  Nothing but the same "Warning....."
    I tied hitting the F1 button at turning on the unit and nothing......
    I checked the monitor connection at the rear of the computer and can't see any bent or broken pins.  Cord looks great too.
    I took the back off and was going to try and unseat the memory card and reseat it again, but I don't know much about the inside of a computer and am not sure where the memory card is or what the hec it even looks like!
    Thanks for any help!

    First try another monitor. What type and model of monitor do you have now?
    If the computer turns off also, it could be shutting down due to hardware issues. Open the case and clean out the dust and then pull the video card and memory and reseat them. Then try to boot up.

  • HT201335 I have a MacBook Air that was bought April 5, 2011. It seems it should be supported for Airplay mirroring but I can't get it to work and I do not have the icon on my bar. Any suggestions?

    I have a MacBook Air that was bought April 5, 2011. It seems it should be supported for Airplay mirroring but I can't get it to work and I do not have the icon on my bar. Any suggestions?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.

  • I have a WD Passport HD attached to my Mac. When it was last connected it went into sleep mode and ran out of battery. Now I cannot find my HD in Finder and Disk Utilities is telling me it cannot repair the HD. Any ideas on how to recover my data?

    I have a WD Passport HD attached to my Mac. When it was last connected it went into sleep mode and ran out of battery. Now I cannot find my HD in Finder and Disk Utilities is telling me it cannot repair the HD. I can see the HD but the volume part is greyed out. Any ideas on how to recover my data?

    There are other methodologies of scanning a HD
    which involve data extraction, but loss of metadata is often the result if the directory is corrupt.
    Metadata is the info on what the data IS. 
    Like having all your papers thrown in the air, its all there, but just a giant mess. 
    This is why you always always must have several external HD redundancies of your data.  One isnt enough, neither is two really.

    Was that your only copy of your priceless data?  Just that one external HD?

  • Monitor goes into sleep mode and will not wake up

    My monitor goes to sleep and will not wake up.  I try powering off and that will not respond.  I have to unplug the workstation and start back up.  I have turn off sleep to never sleep and now it just goes to sleep when Im working. 

    Hello @rosendahl14,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I have read your post on how your monitor goes into sleep mode and will not wake up, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
    To rule out any sleep mode issues with the monitor, I am providing you with some steps you can try below:
    Step 1. Unplug the power cord from the back of the monitor and the wall
    Step 2. Hold the power button down for at least one minute
    Step 3. Plug the power cord back into the monitor and then into the wall outlet (not a power bar or surge protector)
    Step 4. Press the Menu button on the monitor
    Step 5. Navigate to the Factory Reset option and select it
    Step 6. Try a different cable connecting your monitor to your computer
    If the above steps did not resolve your issue you can try the monitor on a computer or other device to see if the issue persists. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

  • Updated to iOS 6.1.2, phone went into recovery mode and will not restore, help?

    exactly as the title says.
    error 3194 came up and well yeah, nothing's working.

    Most likely you previously used an  iPhone hacking utility such as tinyumbrella that messed with your computer hosts file, blocking access to the Apple server gs.apple.com.  See this:
    Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
    Install the latest version of iTunes.
    Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. FollowiTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

    Water + electronics do not mix.  Something was damaged insode, and the logic board may be corroding as is.
    Take it to a Genius Bar for an evaluation and repair estimate.
    This is accidental damage and not covered by warranty.

    I have a first generation MacBook Air that has been refurbished via the Apple store. I installed Snow Leopard about a year ago and now, my computer wont update! It will download the updates restart my computer, but then I get an error message and the computer wont restart!

    What is a error message and what do you see when it appears?
    Haven't much problem with Airs around here, since they have a SSD they tend to be more reliable.
    Perhaps it was a bad update, have you ran through this list of possible fixes?
    Do as many as possible, starting with #1. Until the problem is resolved.
    Use the boot 10.6 USB instead of the disk of course.

    I have a Macbook Pro that was slowing down. The HD was nearly full as I do a video work. I removed over 400gb of photos and video and it made no difference. I ran disk inventory x and that says that there is only 60gb on the hard drive but disk utility says there is still 430gb on the HD. How do I remove what DU says is still there.
    Thanks

    You may notice a difference in available space statistics between Disk Utility, Finder, and Get Info inspectors. This is expected and can be safely ignored. The Finder displays the available space on the disk without accounting for the local snapshots, because local snapshots will surrender their disk space if needed.
