Leopard shuts off my network each time I shut off, restart, or sleep?

After installing Leopard each time I shut off, restart or sleep my computer (auto or manual) it shuts-off my Belkin N Network. I have to manually unplug the wireless modem and replug. I'm running a WPA password protected network. It of course affects other wireless connected computers as well but is defiantly caused by my MacBookPro. Any ideas?

Just as a test, if you turn Airport off on your MBP does the same thing happen?
Once it's off, then turning off your MBP should have no effect.
It this is the case, then you may need to check for firmware updates for the modem.
There have been other instances of this type of behavior with Leopard, especially with 10.5.2.
Most were solved up a firmware update to the modem.

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.

Why do i need to reconfigure a network each time i boot up ? (G5, airport)

I am using a G5 with a built in airport extreme card and a mini antenna. Each time I boot up I have to reconfigure a network. I could not locate any info from Apple regarding this problem. Any one know how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

It sounds as if you have an ad-hoc network, that is a computer-to-computer network without a base station. A by product of ad-hoc networking is that you have to re-establish the network each time the computer that establishes the network is booted. This disadvantage is overcome by having a dedicated router in your network.

Mac wont shut down, restart or sleep - corrupted software update?

My Mac Pro (2007 - OSX 10.6.7) will no longer shut down, restart or sleep. When I try to shut down, it logs me out of my user account, shows the light blue screen, momentarily shows the Leopard space background screen, before showing the blue screen again, and finally returning to the login screen prompting for my user/password.
The only way to poweroff from this point is to hold down the power switch until it forces a power down. This issue has been present for the last two weeks or so ever since I did a Software Update containing a security update. Initially it just failed to perform that update, although after a few days it did do the update, seemingly by fluke. After that, the problem persisted and now there is a new update (Fonts) which again fails to update.
I have tried all of the following:
Power off Mac, unplug power and leave for a few seconds
Power on Mac holding down Ctr + Opt + R + P (resetting PRAM etc)
Boot up from install CD and perform Disk repair (it did find problems with the disk and repaired them)
Check and repair permissions
Delete Software Update related plists & caches from ~/Library and /Library
Still the problem persists. Examining the logs shows me this:

I can paste the crash report referred to in the logs if that would be helpful but for now will leave it out as it's huge and largely full of gobledygook.
I'm at my wits end now. I've always been very proud that in ~4 years of Mac ownership I've never had to reinstall OSX - something I used to do on an anual basis with Windows. My next step probably is a full reinstall, but I really do consider it a drastic step and a last resort.
Here's hoping that the Mac Support Community can help me out
Thanks in advance.

As a followup, upon the advice from someone else I created another user account (non admin) and logged in as that user. From that account I could successfully power down.

HT1807 got an unlocked iphone 4s bt it asks for activation required via a wifi or mobile network each time i put a new sim. wat if i put in a sim which doesnt have 3g and i dnt have any wifi around me? how do i activate it then?

I am living in uk at the moment and i have an unlocked iphone 4s. Each time i put a new sim in it a message appears saying ''Activation Required''. When i slide the unlock bar it asks to choose a wifi network or a mobile data network. So far this hasnt been a problem coz i always found a wifi network around me or the mobile data network worked fine. Now the problem is I am moving back to my country Bangladesh in couple of days. And back there wifi isnt a very available thingie. And mobile data network is very hard to connect. So if i put on a Bangladeshi mobile service sim in my phone how do i activate it without the wifi or mobile data network? Please some help asap would be much appreciated.

Hi Allan,
Sorry for the rant up there.. Thanks for your quick response. I couldn't get to an Apple store and can't order anything from the States that contains Lithium ION batteries -- no U.S. Postal Services will deliver these to us anymore. Target sold this to me as an unactivated Sprint phone. I never activated it through Sprint in the States and just took it to Germany with me. I updated to vs.6.0 via ITunes and without the Sprint SIM Card installed. The IPhone is now accessible (Apps, Settings, etc., to be able to check firmware, et al., settings. However, I can't tell if it's unlocked (since I upgraded the version without the Sprint SIM Card installed) until I go to the local cell phone shop and stuff in a BASE (provider) SIM card and test it out. Is there a way to tell whether or not the phone is unlocked without a SIM card in it? I don't think there is....

Install of OS X leopard on Powerbook G4 stalls each time

Hi - I was wondering if anyone out there could help me - I have a Powerbook G4 15", bought around 2005/6. Great machine, never had any problems... until now... I recently did an apple security update, after that the computer never rebooted, always got hung on the spinning cog thing.
I backed-up the hard disk, then did an erase and install with my OS X install DVD. It all works fine for a while and usually gets to the point where it says "around 1hr 11mins to go". Then it never moves on! I have looked at the log and it seems to be working fine, then stops progressing. I have left it going the last 2 nights, but after 8hrs+, no progress.
If it helps, this is what the last few lines of the 295 line log look like:

I am really not that techy, and have never done OS installs on macs before until now. I am loathe to bring it to an apple reseller in Dublin as they will charge $$$s just to look at it!
If anyone can help or has experienced something similar and found a solution, I would love to hear from you.
Thanks very much, Sally.

One possibility is there's a problem with the installer DVD. Carefully clean it. Another is a problem with computer's optical drive mechanism. There are laser lens cleaning discs you can purchase to clean the laser, but if the drive is out of alignment that requires a technician to fix. A third possibility is that the hard drive has defects or is failing. You can do the following to see if it fixes the problem:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Lastly, there may be memory failure. This may be evidenced if the install fails at random points in the process. However, this is not definitive. Unfortunately, there are no truly reliable tests for RAM except to remove a module and then run the machine to see if the problem ceases.

My Macbook Pro will not shut down, restart or sleep, with either Apple Logo at the top or the power button.

Hi, I have a 13" Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion, and I've had it for less than six months.
It has worked perfectly ever since I got it and I have been completely happy with it, until today. My computer's had a variety of problems; The screen has turned black three times now in the middle of me using it (actively typing or using the touch pad). After clicking some keys or swiping the touchpad, it comes back, but I cannot figure out why this is happening. The big problem, however, is that it won't shutdown.
I usually shut my computer down at night, and I was trying to today, but it just didn't work. I have tried shutting down by pressing the power button; no dialogue or question box comes up. I have tried shutting down from the Apple Logo at the top left of the screen; nothing happened. My computer won't sleep, restart or shutdown at all. When I close the screen, it goes darkens and lights up as usual, but it won't shut down! What's more, none of the options in the Apple Logo will work; for this post, I tried to see the About This Mac screen, and nothing happens. At best, the Rainbow Disc of Pain will appear and then just go away. The menu does pop up though when I click on it, my Wi-Fi is fine, the apps work, the keyboard's fine, the touchpad is great, everything works but that.
I have tried Command+Tab to see open applications; I have shut them all down till only Finder is left. I have tried click Force Quit, of course, nothing happened. Nothing at all, not even a dialogue box. I have tried emptying my trash, along with all the 'sketchy' applications. I have plugged my computer in, just in case. Nothing has made any difference and I am very worried!
I love my macbook pro, and have up to this point, but now I am extremely worried about it; all my important files are on it, and I have nothing to back up with.
Please, please, please, please help!
FYI; I have avast! Virus Database. I cannot imagine that that would cause a problem. Please help me!!!

Yay! Solved my own question; just did a hard shutdown, worked like a charm! Funny, didn't before. But who am I to question salvation?

Mac won't allow log in, shut down, restart or sleep

This morning I started my Mac but it wouldn't allow me to log in, shut down, sleep, restart or anything else. I phoned for help and was told to shut down by holding the button on the back. Then unplug Mac from the power source and leave for a couple of minutes. Reconnect plug into socket and re-start using the button on back. This fixed it! Apparently, static power can remain in the system sometimes, causing this kind of problem. You need to disconnect from the power source and wait to allow all the static to drain from system, before re-connecting. Hope this helps.

As a followup, upon the advice from someone else I created another user account (non admin) and logged in as that user. From that account I could successfully power down.

My computers sign off my network every time they go to sleep - why?

i have a g5 and a macbook networked via airport extreme. network works just fine but recently they decided to sign off my network each time they go to sleep. how do i fix this?

Could you explain in more detail what you mean by this.
It is normal (and has always been the case) that when you sleep a computer it disconnects itself from the wireless network, as it is turning itself off (basically).
Do the Macs automatically rejoin the wireless network when you "wake" them?

Need to find the network every time?

So I installed a new AE yesterday, for the sole purpose of establishing a home network for sharing internet access and a printer between an iMac and a Dell laptop. Simply connected the cable modem and printer USB to AE as instructed.
Haven't tested the printing functionality yet but the network is generally working as desired, but each time the iMac sleeps the network connection is lost. The only way to return online is to go through Network Diagnostics and find the network again and submit the required password... a bit more cumbersome than I'd hoped.
Is there a way around this procedure or some setting I've overlooked that would make it more efficient to get online?
Thanks

If you migrated your account/apps over from an older Mac, you may have brought over some network settings that your newer Mac doesn't like. You may be able to resolve this by going to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and moving all those migrated settings to the Trash (don't empty yet), and rebooting. After you reboot, you'll have to reconfigure your network settings, but the old stuff won't be there to confuse anything.
I had to do this with my new MacBook Air, since it doesn't have a built-in Ethernet port (which my old PowerBook did have). The MBA names the ports differently, and since its default is wireless, the migrated settings kept attempting to connect wirelessly through a port whose name previously was for the PowerBook's wired Ethernet port. This forced me to manually connect to the network each time I started up my MBA, or whenever I awakened it from sleep.
Forcing the clean setup of the network resolved the issue. Once your network is working correctly, you can empty the Trash, otherwise move the newly created stuff out to the Desktop and move the previous settings in the Trash back to the SystemConfiguration folder, then delete the new settings from the Desktop. Follow this with a reboot to return to your initial network configuration.

Help! imac Intel duo core crashes/ model 6,1/10.4.11 must restart each time

The Imac crashes each time and I must restart it almost every hour! After restart I need to cool the machine otherwise I need to restart more then 5 times
before it starts running again. When I work with pictures there are horizontal stripes on the screen and see some delay in the finder screen. It looks like a video error.
My question is if this is a hardware problem or an OSX system problem? If I want to install Panther should this work in combination with this machine?
Hopefully somebody can help!

If you say cooling helps then that's likely a hardware problem. Maybe even something as simple as too many dust bunnies inside. You'd need to ask on the iMac forum on how to clean inside. Overheating can cause various problems, including video. I guess it could be software, but do you hear the fans racing? I don't know about iMacs but other models will automatically turn fans on at high speed to prevent overheating should the software controlling the fans not run.
Panther? On an Intel Mac? No way. You did mean OSX 10.3 didn't you? 10.6 is Snow Leopard and most people with your machine want to go that direction (or even to Lion 10.7).
