IMac wifi does not stay connceted - will reconnect on click on airport icon

My iMac will connect to my airport basestation, and will stay connected for about 30 seconds. The internet will then suddenly stop working (no signal drop, still have an ip address, and still connected tot he basestation). The resolution is to simply click the airport icon in the top right - just to bring up the menu - and the internet will start working again. I did a ping to google.com, and it just suddenly stops, then after clicking the icon, it starts again. It is extremly strange behavior. I have other computer connected to the same basestation, and have been able to exclude the basestation as a cause to this. Any ideas? I am to the point where I may just reinstall os x. Thanks for any help!

WiFi does not stay connected after latest upgrade

I am having an issue with the WiFi connection on my Iphone 4 after the latest 4.3 upgrade.
It does not stay connected to the wifi. I have to go and manually connect to it.
Then after a couple of seconds it loses it again.
Why is this

"I'm not sure why yours is doing it but I would suggest your reboot your router and reset the iPhone network settings.
If you are hiding your SSID, do the last step which is tap Settings > WiFi > Other and completely re-enter your network name, security, and network password."
Been there, done that... Did ALL these steps, but that does not fix the problem... AFTER inputting the SSID manually, selecting security, and then the password, iPhone STILL says it cannot connect...

58L7300U - Wifi does not stay connected

Comcast cable using a Xfinity branded ARRIS TG862 Wireless SOHO Router.
Two Toshiba 58L7300U TVs mounted on walls in residence.
LAN is setup and stable. The Router has been properly configured using WPA2 AES encryption. All computers (Apple, Microsoft Surface, Dell and Toshiba) access WiFi with no problems. All Smart Phones access WiFi with no problem.
The two Toshiba 58L7300U - they have a problem. Even PC Magazine has noted the issue in their test lab.
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2428099,00.asp
"The 50L7300U supports Wi-Fi networking, but the set was unable to stay connected to any of our wireless access points here in the labs. It saw each access point and would connect for a brief moment, but each time it would lose the connection. The wired LAN connection worked perfectly, however."
We've been through every possible setup. I was on the phone with Toshiba for 2 hours and they finally capitulated there was a problem.
Both TVs were purchased just prior to Chistmas 2013. They both have software version 7.2.67.31.01.1 (5/22/14).
If we get the TV to access WiFi I can use PING -T to ping the TV IP address. Yet the TV would say it can't get a connection. It is on the LAN. It has a TCP/IP stack and it can been seen from the POV of the Router and can be seen by another computer on the LAN.
One TV could get access, for a while. It could access Pandora and YouTube content. Then it LOST the ability out of the blue. Othertimes the TV would see the SSID and from the Router POV I would enable WPS and then have the TV do a "scan". Then it it would say it can't find an Wireless Access Point. I have done setups via; manual, assisted and use WPS.
All I can say is that there is a BUG in the software of the 58L7300U in accessing a Wireless Fidelity networks and for a $1,000 per TV that's atrocious.
Personally, I'd hard wire the units but the owner doesn't want that.
The owner spent $2K, and wants the product to properly access WiFi.

If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPhone. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
First, test your iPhone on some other WiFi networks: work (apparently has problems), a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
If your iPhone does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPhone is bad.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

Firefox Home with Search panel does not load/appear. When I click the home icon a message appears that says Firefox is not a valid URL. Never did that before?

Nothing different from the question. Firefox just does not load. When I place the mouse cursor over the home icon and do not click, a message panel seemingly powered by My Yahoo states "drag the AT&T globe to the left of the home icon in the toolbar and drop it there, then select "yes" from the pop up window and you are done." This was an action I did recently (not today) but don't see what this has to do with Firefox

HT4623 I want to purchase a ipad 32gb in the larger size but have read many bad reviews that the wifi does not stay connected and I don't want to have to buy another data package as I already own an iphone that i pay data for, what are my concerns

I want to purchase an ipad 32gb in the larger size buy have read many bad reviews that they have problems staying connected to wifi. I don't want to have to buy a data package so I only want the wifi one. I already pay apple for my iphone data and I can't afford more money. Why are there so many bad reviews and are the newer ones that much better, according to many reviews they are not.Please help

I already pay apple for my iphone data
You pay your carrier for data, not Apple.
Why are there so many bad reviews
Where? Regardless, there are always going to be a handful of people having some sort of issue with any given device, but I would not therefore assume that you would be one of them.

Cannot save password-screen does not stay open long enough

Cannot log into company intranet or home voice mail. Asks for a password and cannot save it as the save password dialogue box does not stay open long enough to click on it. Works fine on other locations

Re: "Lightroom encountered and error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit"

WiFi Password does not stay!

No problem at my home network.
However, whenever I'm at my work WiFi and turn the iPhone on, a pop up comes to fill in the WiFi passowrd. However, I can not put it in because it does not stay. So I have to go to pref -> network and put it in there, then it works until I put the phone in standby mode. Waking up from standby mode the same issue starts!
Any idea? Original iPhone, 2.2

I suggest try forgetting this network.
Select the network to view the network settings and at the top is a Forget this Network option.
Follow this by reconnecting to the network.
If this doesn't work, there is Reset Network Settings option at Settings > General > Reset.
This will erase all wi-fi network settings from your iPhone.

OSX 10.9.1 macbook pro 13 retina - wifi does not reconnect automatically when waking up from sleep mode since I have a Bluetooth apple magicmouse

Hello,
My config is OSX 10.9.1 new macbook pro 13 retina (2014).
The wifi does not reconnect automatically when waking up from sleep mode since I have a Bluetooth apple magicmouse.
It was not the case before I bought the BT mouse.
Is this problem between Wifi and bluetooth coming from the OS?
Is there a fix already available or scheduled?
Thanks

Hello alexandrefromfrance
Check the Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly section for steps on what to do when your MacBook Pro does not connect after waking from sleep. I have also quoted the section on troubleshooting the issue as well.

Flashplayer pop up box "Requesting permission to store info on my computer" does not respond and will not go away. How do I get rid of it. It is most annoying as it stays right in the middle of the screen.

Move cursor onto video. Right click. Click Settings, Click the "never ask again" box. Then click Close. That will work.
For some reason, that always worked for me, but in the last two days, it does not work, and it seems to freeze on the
video. See, if it works for you.

Iphone does not stay connected to wi-fi.

When using apps or when in sleep mode my iphone does not stay connected to my wi-fi. All other items within the house have no issues with staying connected to my wi-fi.

By design, when entering sleep mode, the iPhone will disconnect from WiFi to conserve battery. If you want the WiFi connection to remain persistent, plug your phone into a power source.

Wifi does not work correctly on iPad Mini w/ Retina display

I've found that Wifi does not work properly on the iPad mini w/ Retina display.
Some background: I own three iPads (iPad mini w/ retina display, iPad mini, and iPad 3rd gen), an iPod touch 5th gen, and a Macbook Air, and use them all frequently with my pocket Wifi router.
None of them exhibit any Wifi problems whatsoever except for my iPad mini w/ retina display.
Here are the details:
In the middle of using Wifi with my pocket Wifi router, the Wifi connection will abrubptly drop, then reconnect. After the Wifi reconnects, it is no longer able to connect to the internet (even though Wifi itself is connected).
Once the iPad mini w/ retina display's Wifi gets into this state, the following may or may not restore WiFi temporarily:
Restart the device
Reset network settings
Yet, even if connectevitiy is restored, the problem will happen again within minutes.
When the iPad mini w/ retina display gets into this state, the Wifi on my iPod touch, other iPads, and on my Macbook Air work perfectly fine, so I know the problem is not with my Wifi device or it's connection, but specifically with the iPad mini w/ retina display
Note:
The iPad mini w/ retina display never has any issues with my home or work Wifi networks. The problem only happens when connected to my pocket Wifi device. Yet, all of my other iOS devices and my MacBook Air work perfectly with my pocket Wifi device, therefore I know the problem is not with the pocket Wifi device, but with the iPad mini with retina display.
Solutions:
Resetting the iPad mini w/ retina display to factory settings does not solve the problem
Resetting network settings on the iPad mini w/ retina display does not solve the problem
I have even replaced my original iPad mini w/ retina and got a new one. Yet, the new device exhibits the exact same behavior as the original device.
Conclusion:
I know this is not a hardware problem (since it happened with both my original as well as replacement device).
I know this is not a problem with my pocket WiFi router, since it works perfectly with all of my other iOS devices and MacBook Air.
Therefore, this must be a software / firmware bug with the iPad mini w/ retina display. Apple will need to fix this in a future software update.
Has anyone else seen this problem?

I too have experienced this issue over the past two days... I have a 16gb ipad mini retina, for reference. I bought the device one week ago, and had not experience any issues at all until bringing my device to work. I logged into my work's enterprise level wireless network both yesterday and today, maintained normal wifi capabilities for 2-4 hours each day, and was then randomly dropped, both days. I tried hard resets, resetting my network settings, airplane mode, etc. Nothing has worked. I am still offline on my ipad mini retina.
My iPhone 5 is sitting right next to my iPad mini retina. The iPhone is currently connected to the same very network, and has been for the past two years. I have never lost connection on my iPhone's wifi, just my iPad mini retina.
This must be some kind of bug, as it does not sound like a hardware nor network issue.
Hopefully they fix this in 7.1.

Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect. Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.

Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect. Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static IP, Subnet, Router and DNS manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected. Using Airport for router, latest firmware, no problems with Iphone 4 or Macbook Pro or any other internet devices. After total Restore (factory settings) tried again, showed connected to router, but does not display "check" next to router but little rotating icon even though the wifi range signal shows connected at full strength and it says it is connected. Just can't seem to get it to generate an IP. Any solutions other than turning it on and off again? Not a Merry Christmas morning.

Ok, so, a couple of things: Denisefromwaleska and I have the exact same size/type/color iPod. Now wishing I'd bought the black one maybe...
Second, Airport is an Express and I have a second one that I carry with me when I travel. Tried to connect my Airport Express to the internet and could not although the iPod did recognize the router and tried to connect to the internet for some time, unlike my previous problem. Updated firmware on my travel router, still could not connect to the internet. Going to try to set up a manual Static IP on the travel router here in a few and conect through it although I predict the problem will persist. Back on the Christmas Present Airport Express router, it is back in play and working fine for all devices save the iPod.
Thanks again for all your help, hopefully I can get a solution in place soon,

Modeless window using "palette" does not stay up in CS5

I am having trouble running a modeless dialog with CS5 (on Windows 64-bit). My own script does not stay up and neither does the SnpCreateDialog.jsx snippet that comes with the ESTK and is supposed to demonstrate modeless dialogs. I have tried:
Running from the Scripts panel
Add #target photoshop
Being sure the drop-down menu says Photoshop, not CTSK
as suggested in an older discussion at http://forums.adobe.com/message/3008230#3008230. (I decided to make a new discussion as that one was marked answered.)
It also does not stay up when moved into the Photoshop Scripts folder and run from the File menu in Photoshop.
The relevant code in SnpCreateDialog.jsx is:
function SnpCreateDialog()
     this.windowRef = null;
Functional part of this snippet.
Create a window of type "palette" (a modeless dialog) and display it.
@return True if the snippet ran as expected, false otherwise.
@type Boolean
SnpCreateDialog.prototype.run = function()
     // Create a window of type palette.
     var win = new Window("palette", "SnpCreateDialog",[100,100,380,245]); // bounds = [left, top, right, bottom]
     this.windowRef = win;
     // Add a frame for the contents.
     win.btnPanel = win.add("panel", [25,15,255,130], "SnpCreateDialog");
     // Add the components, two buttons
     win.btnPanel.okBtn = win.btnPanel.add("button", [15,65,105,85], "OK");
     win.btnPanel.cancelBtn = win.btnPanel.add("button", [120, 65, 210, 85], "Cancel");
     // Register event listeners that define the button behavior
     win.btnPanel.okBtn.onClick = function() {
          $.writeln("OK pressed");
          win.close();
     win.btnPanel.cancelBtn.onClick = function() {
          $.writeln("Cancel pressed");
          win.close();
     // Display the window
     win.show();
     return true;
"main program": construct an anonymous instance and run it
as long as we are not unit-testing this snippet.
if(typeof(SnpCreateDialog_unitTest) == "undefined") {
    new SnpCreateDialog().run();
If I put a breakpoint on the "return true;" line, then I can see that the dialog has, in fact, been created and is visible, but it has returned from win.show() and will go away as soon as the script continues.
Any help would be appreciated.

The advantage of a modeless dialog is that you can continue to do things in Photoshop while the dialog is up. At least I presume so, since I haven't got one to work, including the ESTK example.
Sorry but no, most of the Photoshop UI is disabled while a script is running even if the script displays a palette window.
A dialog window does wait for show() to complete. That is what makes dialogs modal. A palette window does not wait for show() to complete. It runs the rest of the script.
In the example you posted all the script does after showing the window is return true then ends. Which is why all it does is flash the window. If you put a $.sleep(1000) line before the return true line the windows will display until sleep timeouts then the script will end and the window will close. That is why with Photoshop palette windows are really only useful for progress bars or other script status type windows.
Although palette windows may allow the user to intreact with the app UI while the window is displayed that doesn't work with Photoshop. The window only displays while the script is running and a running script limits Photoshop UI interaction.
I have tested palette windows in CS2, CS3, CS4, and CS5 with the same results. The window only shows while the script is running.
With Photoshop if you want the user to interact with the UI you have to create a panel.
