Installed Leopard 10.5.2, now have wifi problems

I upgraded my macbook to 10.5.2 last night, and everything seemed fine. I was able to get on my home wireless (WEP security) with no prob and do a sys update. I took it in to work today, and the wireless was a no-go. It's an open network, don't need to log in. I didn't have a problem joining it with 10.4.x, but now I have to type the network name in manually via "Join other networks" in the airport drop down.
Even after I connect via this method, it won't connect to the internet, as it will only do a self-assigned IP address. Just to check, I used a co-worker's macbook (same as mine, just with 10.4), and it still worked fine.
The only thing that has changed on my system is the new OS.
Hint/suggestions? Thanks!

Try this. Navigate to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ folder. Delete all but the com.apple.Boot.plist and com.apple.PowerManagement.plist files.
Restart the computer and reconfigure Network preferences.

Installed Mac OS Lion and now have internet problems??

So, I've installed the new Mac OS Lion on my MacBook Pro and now can only connect to the internet using Firefox - no Safari, no app store or anything else for that matter. Has anyone else experienced the same problems?
I've never had this problem on Snow Leopard and when I go through the Network Diagnostics it says that the internet connection (Wi-Fi) is perfect?!
What's going on??
I'm now having serious doubts of why I upgraded...

Check out this troubleshooting guide:

I just update my Mac operating system from Snow Leopard to Yosemite and now have to upgrade my Epson Printer WF3540 so that it will be able to scan. Will Adobe be compatible with these softwares?

Hi spiritentrep,
What Adobe software are you referring to? Are you using Acrobat? You should have no problems running Acrobat XI on Yosemite, and as along as you have compatible scanner drivers for your Epson, you should be fine there as well.

I recently upgraded our iMac to Yosemite OS and now have a problem with Photoshop Elements 11: the move tool selects an image or text layer, but then I try to drag the selection somewhere else on the page and it snaps back to the original location, however the arrows will move it OK. Also I cannot drag the selection to another photo in the photo bin as before.

I have Wifi problems.

I have Wifi problems. I have the 16GB +3 G IPAD 2 connects to the network but does not navigate. Probe on multiple sites but I always say the same thing. No connection available. I knew that many users would feel the same it's a shame.
This has no real solution? I tried everything on the official forums of IPAD proposed but the problem persists.

Here are some troubleshooting tips:

Installed Leopard on new drive, now can't uninstall CS3

I deactivated CS3. Then I installed Leopard on a new drive and it moved over all my stuff from Tiger, including CS3. Of course, due to the idiotic policy that allows you to run 2 copies, but not on the same computer, it won't start. Then when I went to uninstall CS3 using the proper uninstall in Utilities, I got a message that says "System Requirements Error - This software cannot be installed because the file system of the OS volume is not supported". What the heck is that? I have NO way to uninstall CS3? Why the restriction on two copies on one computer anyway? What if your current drive fails unexpectedly? How do you deal with that?

I have a perfect copy of the boot drive elsewhere on my system. I can boot from it in an emergency. But Adobe tells me that the copy of PS CS3 on that drive is not supposed to work. I called because I had the problem where it dies instantly as soon as you start it. I know the copy was good because I just tested that yesterday, again, during my song and dance to get PS on a non case sensitive drive. PS came up and ran from the spare drive I used as an intermediate Leopard > spare > Leopard. I didn't activate it there but did as soon as I was back on the modified Leopard drive and it's fine. I would say from my previous experience that if I were to boot back to spare and try to start PS, it would now die instantly because it's the second copy and hasn't been activated FROM THAT DRIVE. If I try to activate it I'll get some garbage about too many copies - I don't recall what they said exactly. The gist of it was 2 copies, 2 computers - fine. 2 copies one computer - not OK.
You say you had 2 copies activated on one computer? How? In my experience, the second copy dies so fast you couldn't get to activation. I'm not doubting you, I'm genuinely curious how it can work. I'm on a Mac Pro, if that's of any import.

RE: Installed "Access Denied" posting. I have same problem and none of the answers have worked. Ownership is blank but application will not accept me.

RE: "Access Denied" question following install of Firefox. I have same problem. Details follow: I tried opening in Safe Mode which did not work. I have Administrative access. When I click the general tab in properties I get a message that "firefox.exe" does not exist. Neither that file nor any other "install" type of file appears in the Mozilla Firefox directory except for "uninstall". I have downloaded and tried to install seven times from six different sources, including Mozilla, all with the same results. I've also tried a number of solutions from the web for this error message with no greater success. I tried, first, doing an upgrade then deleted the older version of Firefox and have done "install" since. Avast, Malwarebytes and Threatfire have found no malware.
I have never had a similar problem with Firefox before and I've used it for years. Anyone have any ideas I haven't already tried? I'm tired of using Internet Explorer! RE: troubleshooting information below--Windown will not open the downloaded file.

These steps are recommended for this error message mentioned:
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems Troubleshooting Extensions and Themes], however it seems like you may need to reinstall Firefox since the directory cannot be found.
Other solutions to this have been to uninstall and use CCleaner to clean up any old registries. However this will loose data from the profile.
I am seeing the errors and troubleshooting steps all mentioned here:
*[http://compinfopro.com/windows-cannot-access-the-specified-device-path-or-file/]
And it seems the best bet would be to uninstall and reinstall. If you can see the profile folder, it is possible to make a back up of the profile [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]] here.
For a clean reinstall:
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]]. 
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

Upgraded Mac Mini to 10.6.4 now have sound problems

Just upgraded my mac mini to 10.6.4 and now have sound distortion. Itunes is extremely tinny sounding, fades in and out, distorted and muffled sounding continually. Sound worked fine since I purchased it back in november but now since the update it is distorted. I also notice that if I listen using iphone headphones the sound is just as distorted.
Any ideas how to resolve this? I tried reloading itunes, checked sound/speaker preferences, rebooted the system a couple times, unhooked speakers and reconnected them. I am totally frustrated with this.
thanks for any help on this issue.

have you repaired permission before and after the upgrade ?
also, did you use *software update* from the  menu to install the upgrade ?
if so, download the combo updater from here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1048 and apply it.

Does ipad have wifi problems in hawaii?

Can anybody tell me how well the ipad works in Hawaii? Are there any wifi issues? We will be in Hawaii, Oahu, and Kauai for approximately 15 days. We plan to camp out for most of those days.

R u talking about WiFi or 3G? If there is WiFi at the place you are camping out then you shouldn't have a problem. If your iPad connects to wifi back home then it should connect to WiFi in Hawaii.
Now if you are talking about 3G coverage that will depend on the carrier and the version of iPad you have (i.e. Verizon with CDMA tech in it or AT&T with GSM tech in it). Nit sure what Hawaii has for providers or the cellular technology that they use to support 3G signal.

Sharing with those have wifi problem

My 4s got wifi problem a few days after updated to 702 from 613. It couldn't find wifi.
I ve done followings and my wifi is back. Turn iphone off, Put iPhone in a seal plastic bag and put into refrigerator for 10min. Then turn on, set it into airplane mode, reset network setting. After this, my iPhone can find wireless and can get connection. Need to input wireless password again if required. Hope it woks forever since this is my replaced iPhone for the previously one which got wifi control bar grey off and could not be fixed. Apple just simply give me a new one with 3 mon warranty.
Hope this also works for u.

You need to provide some specifics starting with what the problem is.

Installed 10.8.4 and now my wifi refuses to connect to any WPA2 network!

Installed 10.8.4 update yesterday in the office. After restart my wifi refused to connect to the network although it was connecting to it fine before the update. Used ethernet and downloaded the Combo update. No improvement. It connects to the public wifi but not to the WPA2. Went home and opened my MBA and found that it does not connect to my peronal WPA2! Removed security from my Guest network and it connects fine. Put the WPA2 back, and it refuses to connect. Any ideas?

seems the problem is that the 10.8.4 didn't install properly. here is the install log:

Advice please! Installed Leopard update...now can't connect to certain site

Hi and thanks in advance for any help.
I updated Leopard (10.5.3) and Safari (3.1.1) with the apple patch a couple of days ago. After install, my MBP wouldn't connect to certain sites like Google or Yahoo. This happens for Safari, Firefox, and IE. Today, Google works but not GMAIL. The other sites remain inaccessible; I get the message "can't open page _ because it can't find the server _"
After the install and restart, I didn't change anything.
There are no firewalls in place.
I tried using openDNS and configuring the IP addresses.
Rebooted the MBP and the Router and AirPort Extreme.
Moved the System Config folder to the desktop and starting the browsers.
Also, my Mail can't access my GMail account.
Nothing has worked and I'm near my wits end.
I have a PC desktop that connects fine to everything so I don't think it's my ISP or the router.
I'm hoping for some help here in lieu of subjecting myself to phone **** or driving all the way to the Apple store.

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Seems like you covered most bases.
Rebooted the MBP and the Router and AirPort Extreme
If you didn't do so, unplug the router and AE. Wait about a minute, then plug-in again. Try Safari or another browser again. If no go I suggest reapplying the 10.5.3 Combo Update. Do not use the computer during the Install. Also, plug in the laptop.
When complete, "repair permissions" using Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
