Issues with 2007-004 AirPort Software Update

Hello - I saw some threads around this re: other updates.. however, I have a MacBook Pro 15.4" with version 10.4.10. This weekend, Auto Software Updates updated the Mac OS with the 2007-004 AirPort patch. Prior to this, I had perfect 801.11NG connectivity with my router (D-Link DIR-655 N-Extreme) - all 4 bars lit up no matter where I was in the house. However, since this patch, my connectivity has become very flaky. Sometimes I'll have strong connectivity for a few hours, then it will suddenly drop (will go from 4 bars to 3 - then will have performance drag on my applications or drop completly).
I notice while watching my router statistics page that throughput drops from 50-60mb down to 11 when it drops.
We have an iMac in the house which is NOT experiencing this issue (it is on 2007-003). I also have 2 Apple-Tv's, neither of which are having this issue either.
This is extremely frusterating - as not having stable wireless on a laptop is very painful. I've noticed threads where this patch was suppose to fix this problem for people who had 2007-003 patch. For me, it has caused the reverse.
Any recommendations or thoughts? I'd like to roll-back to 2007-003, but it's not clear how to do this - but if I could, I could at least isolate it to the patch, and not some other coincidence.
Thanks, Ed

The light sometimes remains on, even if i lock the keypad. Beside this, i noticed take my battery lasts like 1 hour while the light is on. This happens few times, but is really annoying.. Also, i now that the theme effects are not essential, but i want to keep my phone fully functional, so i'd like to know what's this issue about..
@metalfan I didn't expected a quick answer, i was only preoccupied for these problems
How can i to restore the original firmware?
I tried to remove my sim(also i don't use a memory card), but nothing changes...

HI,
If your old version of iTunes is still working - then I sugest you stick with that.
iTunes 11 is a lousy update - It will not retain your playlists, you can't find and delete duplicates... and a whole arry of oyher issues. (have a look around this forum to see how many issues IT11 gives people)
Just a friendly advise and warning :-)

IPod Nano with 1.1.1 software update and iPod Radio Remote

I currently have iPod Nano with 1.1.1 software update and iPod Radio Remote, but even after the update I do't get the radio option to appear in the main menu or music menu, with the option in settings turn ON. Why isn't this thing working?

hiya!
just doublechecking something. are you connecting the remote directly to the nano, or are you connecting it to a Dock and putting the ipod in the dock?

Greyed imaged in the Import dialog box mean you have already imported the photos into Lightroom, so there is no need and no benefit to importing them a second time.
Just go to the Library module, search for the desired photos, and resume working on these photos.

How do you view lyrics on itouch with the new Jan. software update??

How do you view lyrics on itouch with the new Jan. software update??
Thanks!!

1) You need to have the paid upgrade installed.
2) You need to paste the lyrics into the lyrics tab of a song/album.
3) You need to re-sync the Touch.
4) When playing music, you click on the album cover (in portrait mode only) and the lyrics will superimpose on the screen.

Are you not able to use lion or Mountain Lion?

Are there any compatibility issues with Sonos and Airport extreme??

are there any compatibility issues with Sonos and Airport extreme??

Sonos uses its own priopietory wireless protocol SonosNet to distribute audio data among all its products, thus it should not affect other network devices which use standard WiFi 802.11a/b/g/n protocol at all though they may share the same radio channel for wirless signaling.
On my dual-band (5 GHz / 2.4 GHz) Airport Extreme staion, I select the option "802.11n Only (5GHz) - 802.11n (2.4GHz)" and turn on "Use wide channels" in Wireless configuration in order to use only 802.11n protocol and more radio channels to achieve maximum wireless bandwidth of 400 Mbps. This bandwidth is necessary for quick Time Machine backup to NAS connected to the Airport Extreme station through Ethernet cable. So my iMac and MacBook Pro always connected to the Airport Extreme through 5 GHz radio channel with 802.11n protocol whereas my iPhone 4S always connected through 2.4 GHz radio channel with the same protocol.
In my living room Sonos ZP-90 (same as new CONNECT model) zone player is connected to Airport Extreme directly through Ethernet cable (recommended by Sonos) and Sonos S5 (same as new PLAY:5 model) zone player in bedroom is connected wirelessly through SonosNet protocol to the ZP-90 zone player in living room.
These devices are in operation simutaneouly most of the time. Music is playing through the Sonos ZP90/S5 zone players througout the day, I am streaming viedo through Internet (fibre broadband 25 Mbps) on my MacBook Pro in bedroom or iMac in living room or reading news on my iPhone. So far so good and have no encounter any interference problem for about three years. Further more bandwidth for 802.11n protocol does not seem to be affected at all.
In fact with a low power Fujitsu USB drive (2.5" / 500 GB, designed for notebook) plug into USB port of Airport Extreme, it can be used as NAS drive for Sonos music distribution system without any problem. Just transfer all files from Music folder in my home directory on iMac into this NAS drive and set it up as music source in "Manage > Music Library Settings" in Sonos Controller for Mac application will do. Though the same drive can be served as Time Machine's backup disk as well, an independent full-fledged NAS drive for Sonos and Time Machine backup is better long-term solution for reliability and performance. With the NAS configured as sole music source, you do not need to keep any computer powered on all the time in order to play music through the Sonos system.

Have installed the latest Airport software update. Still no wireless

I was hoping that Apple would fix the can not connect to wireless problem, I installed the latest airport software update but still have the same problem. 10.4 works great but 10.5 will not connect.

Mine is a long and sad story. I have ComCast cable connected from their modem to an Asanti 4 port router. Connections around our little office area are by ethernet. I then have one router port connected to an Apple snow airport. Out of the office area we use the wireless LAN. All of our PC laptops, our PC desk top and our MacBook Pro (running 10.4) will connect through the snow airport LAN when need-be. All of the aforementioned computers will connect to our city-wide free wireless network, Metro-fi Free. Everything works perfectly except my FW800 running 10.5. For now nothing is incripted. If I turn on my airport card I can see available 6 neighborhood wireless LANs, Metro-fi and the snow base station. I installed 10.4 in a separate HD and booted up. It connects perfectly which means my computer and airport card must be OK. The problem is in 10.5 for sure. I tried to check the update you are supposed to see when opening the airport utility but of course the utility says it can find no AirPort base station. I have reinstalled 10.5, run Diskwarrior and TechTool Pro and found no problems. If I did not have such a bunch of stuff in my system HD I would go back to 10.4. What have I overlooked??

Is anyone else having issues with airplay after the Lion update? It sees the libaray but won't connect...

I'm having the same issue. So far all lion has done for me is make all my microsoft office documents un-readable until I upgrade (about $150) and lose my home share capabilities...can anyone assist with this?

After Software Update 2007-004 airport card stopped working after wakeup

Hi,
I have a powerbook G4 - DVI running 10.3.9. After I have installed Software Update 2007-003, when my computer goes to sleep and then wakes up, airport card stops working. I had to open the back of the computer, unplug and plug the airport card, then it starts working again. But next time the computer goes to sleep, it stops working again.
Does anyone have a similar problem? Any work arounds?
Thanks in advance.
Also following is the logs from Software Update. Looks suspicious:

10.4.8 update - issues with mail and airport

Gah! Just as I was signing up so I could post on this board, my airport connection went bye-bye.
Initially I tinkered with my router (linksys) settings. Recycled everything a bajillion times. Not sure what caused a partial resolution, but my connection is no longer crawling, but it drops a few times a day. The only solution at this point is to recycle modem and router and restart computer.
Now I am having issues with my mail application. Whenever I "get mail" I am prompted for my password. I type it in, plus check the box "add to keychain". App searches for mail. So I went into account prefs and noticed there is no password in the dialog box. I type it in. If I save and close the dialog and then reenter, the password is once again missing. Huh??
So I reinstalled with the combo update (I had previously installed via software update), verifying/repairing disk before, repairing permissions after.
I have removed the system config folder in order for the system to create a new one.
When I look in keychain access, the only thing in there is the airport login. I have also performed a keychain first aid. Nothing appears to be wrong.
Any suggestions??
I patiently await responses.
Oh, and I applied the first update in proper fashion as well. No weird third party stuff, etc. And I didn't have any of these issues pre-update...
mbp Mac OS X (10.4.8)

1. Reset the router by holding down the button in the
rear for 10 seconds.
I've done that ad nauseum, plus tweaked router settings, plus recycled modem/router many times. It does not appear to be a problem with the router hardware or software.
2. Toss your Mail Account, and make a new one.
If indeed that is the solution, is there an efficient way to save/export messages so I don't lose them?

Problem with latest -004 AirPort Update

Hello: Downloaded and installed the 10/26 AirPort 004 update on a Early 2008 Mac Pro directly connected to the latest APE(n). Internet still wotks fine but I cannot access the APE using the AP utility--no devices seen. Wasn't this the problem with the -003 update???

If the file appears in HD/Library/Updates, then delete it and try updating again.
Recently, I installed third party software that trashed OS X 10.5.5 and I was forced to re-install the original OS X 10.5.2 (CD) as a fresh new install.
After the install, the software update OS X 10.5.5 Combo would not Validate. The download version in dmg format also failed verification.
I re-installed 10.5.2 again and ran into the exact same problems.
For the third time, I again installed the original 10.5.2, this time I used Disc Utility to check the drive, this found problems with permissions in this new fresh install and was duly repaired.
TechTool Deluxe (AppleCare Protection Plan) was then used to check that everything was indeed OK.
Screensaver was then turned off along with Energy Saver prior to the Software Update and a successful validated update to 10.5.5 resulted.
When updating the rest of the software everything updated properly except for the Java Update which would not validate.
I set Software Update to ignore the Java Update and again, used Disc Utility which again found permission problems that had to be repaired.
I then downloaded the dmg version of Java Update which installed without a hitch.
Software Updates appear to be Apple's achilles heel, but no worse than any other OS.
Unfortunately, the slightest glitch will compromise a software download or it's installation from any source, one has absolutely no control of this process except for pushing buttons.
The best download software I have used is Star Downloader, for Windows, this downloads from a number of servers simultaneously then re-assembles the separate downloads as one file. I have never had it fail.
I no longer use any of Microsoft's hardware or software, I am so happy with my iMac and Apple's efforts.
I will follow your post with interest.

Temporary workaround for 2007-004 Airport issue (Anecdotal)

After re-installing the Wireless-N enabler on my 17in. MBP 2.33 (post Airport 2007-004), I have not experienced the connection drop for days now. Clearly this is not a fix or anything--just something others might want to try out. The dropping connection was the only issue I had.

OK, after some further experimenting, I changed the multicast rate on my airport express. It was set at 6Mbps, and I changed it to 2Mbps.
I have read that the default multicast rate for previous 802.11g versions of Airport basestations is actually 2mbps. Excellent results so far !! I have set up a terminal command to continuously ping my airport router address every 15 sec, and there have been virtually no dropped packets so far over many hours.
ping -i 15 10.0.1.1
Interestingly, in Apple's Airport Admin software in my MBP there is no option to set the rate at less than 6Mbps (!!!!), so I had to use the Windows XP version of Airport admin software to make this change using a windows machine. Using the XP software you can set the muticast rate as low as 1Mbps.
If you are using Apples airport admin software (Tiger and Leopard) and you commit any sort of change in settings, the multicast rate will be re-set at a minimum of 6Mbps. My understanding of the multicast rate is that setting it too high is similar to shrinking the coverage area of the basestation, and limiting access only to clients who can transmit at the required multicast rate.
So my new theory is that the dropouts are caused by the MBP dropping off the airport due to not being able to achieve the set multicast rate. (this could be due to factors such as low signal strength, excessive interference or noise).
If you are using Apples more recent Airport admin software, you are having a minimum 6mbps muticast rate set, and this might be too high for your particular environment.
Just a theory.
(oh yeah, I enabled interference robustness on the MBP and the basestation just for good measure)
