Losing Connection After Hibernation/Sleep

Hi Everyone,
We are using an AirPort Express as our main wireless connection. Our XP laptop connects fine; however, when we come out of hibernation/sleep, it will not connect to internet (even though it shows we are connected on the status bar). The only way we've been able to reconnect is to restart the computer. I tried searching through the archieved forums, but to no avail. Any help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks!
Paul

Yes, you computer will loose it's wireless connection while it "hibernates/sleeps". In order to re-establish the connection, use your wireless network configuration to re-establish/select the connection. (Usually a little green arrow type icon in your menu bar near your clock, if you have it enabled)
(I'm not sure if you are using Windows to manage your wireless connection your your wireless manufactors wireless software, I've found better results using the mfg's software rather than windows)

Possible fix for OS X 10.5.7, losing connection after sleep, restart

Possible fix for OS X 10.5.7, Airport, losing connection after sleep, restart, or cold reboot.
Issue: (For OS X 10.5.7 on iMac5,1, Intel Core 2 Duo)
=============================================
- After sleep, restart, cold reboot, even though cannot connect to Internet, but the AirPort bars are still full, as if connected.
- Losing Internet connection after sleep, restart, cold reboot.
Possible Fix:
1.Open Network Preference, click on the Location drop down list > Edit Location... > click on the wheel button > Duplicate Location.
a)Select this newly setup location; Use Diagnostic button to connect to the internet. Select Network or enter WEP password if necessary.
b)Test to make sure you can connect to a web page.
c)Go to sleep & wake up.
d)This time, the Airport bar will start to show correctly. Before, it will always be full even when not connected. Now there will be no bars or grey out when not connected.
2.On the left hand side of the Network Preference Window, there is a list of services, such as Airport, build-in ethernet, built-in FireWire, bluetooth, etc.
a)Click on the wheel button on the bottom of the service list; select Set Service Order...; move Airport to the top of the list.
b)Delete any services which you are sure that you are not going to use, such as Bluetooth, etc.
3.Pick one of the locations mentioned in #1, and make it sure it is connected. If not, use Diagnostic button. If you have to select Network or enter WEP password to connect, make it so.
a)Check to make sure you can connect to a web page.
4.Go to sleep & wake up. The Airport bar should be filled up quickly. Try to connect to a web page.
5.Restart computer. Test a web page.
6.Shut down & Start computer. Test a web page.
7.When everything is working fine, you can delete the extra location that you created in step #1.
8.Click the lock on the left lower corner of the Network Preference window to safeguard the setting.

If my assessment is correct, the LIDE 200 driver is version 14.8.1 and dated 26-Sep-2008. It is possible that the driver will not work with the latest version of OSX. I would advise that you contact Canon and ask them the question.
(Removed link because of the way Flash drives the Canon site).
It is not uncommon (though irritating) that devices no longer work when an OS is upgraded. One has to ask the question if (or why) the driver was not written in such a way as to be OS version independent.

I spoke to Canon over here in Australia. Not helpful at all. In fact they were about as useful as an ashtray on on motorcycle. Having said that the tech seemed to think that there would be an update soon. But that is assuming that Canon are aware that there is a problem with that Scanner under OS X 10.5.7.

E550 will not come back after hibernation/sleeping mode

Thinkpad E550 will not come back after hibernation/sleeping mode. please help. I just bought this garbage laptop about 1 month ago. the big issue is the laptop will not come back after sleeping. I often run some calculation for some hours, the laptop always goes sleeping and wont come back. I had to power off the laptop and re-started it again. All of my calculation results were gone. Lenovo support is very bad, I already submitted a service ticket 2 weeks ago, but nobody contacted me. Lenovo laptops are garbage. I will not buy it anymore. Anyone can help? thanks a lot!

HI Clare,
In the Toshiba Power Management utility you should click on the 'advanced' tab and about half way down the resultant window you should see an option for the action to be taken when you close the lid of your SA30.
Make sure that this is set to 'hibernate'. Then go to the power save modes and click on the 'details' tab and then the 'Power Save Mode' tab and make sure that the 'Hibernate' option is set to 'never'.
With these settings your notebook should go into 'hibernate' when you close the lid but not at any other time.
Note that you can set the notebook to hibernate when running on battery when the bttery capacity reaches a pre-set value of your own choosing.
regards,

Firefox unresposive after hibernating/sleeping - Windows 8

Lots of similar threads have been raised regarding this same issue but there's still not been any conclusive resolution.
I'm using an up to date FF version 28.0 on Windows 8 and after my PC wakes up (so to speak) FF doesn't respond to any clicks, i.e.:
* inability to switch between windows, and consequently, inability to switch between tabs
* inability to interact with the current window, for example it doesn't respond to any clicks within the window.
I usually have websites that are running Flash content prior to hibernating and I've found that killing the 'Adobe Flash Player' task or 'FlashPlayerPlugin' process after hibernating resolves the problem. So no need to restart FF. But of course this will cause all your websites running flash content to crash.
It would appear that FF doesn't respond well to persistent interaction with its UI after hibernating.
When will this problem be resolved?

This sounds somewhat different than the bug in Firefox a few versions ago where Firefox was very sluggish after waking from sleep, you could switch between the windows and open new ones, but the content area took minutes or longer to repaint.
To prevent the Flash plugin from launching independent processes outside of Firefox's plugin-container process, try disabling the protected mode feature of the Flash Player plugin. The following pages provide information on how to disable the feature.
* Adobe support article under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]

Does that affect the post-sleep/post-hibernation situation?

Why does my Macbook Pro destabilize after hibernation sleep?

Over the last several months using Mountain Lion, I decided to completely drain my battery to reset it. I think it then goes into what is called hibernation or emergency sleep mode. I am usually unable to wake it from sleep prompting a forced resstart.
to restart, I connect the adapter and the light goes green quickly changing to amber as expected. After the restart, however, some top menu items are missing such as the wi-fi icon and the Lock Keychain icon. All third party icons display correctkly. The space is there but blank and I can access the pulldown menu by clicking in those blank areas.. When double clicking the HD icon in the Finder, no icons show on the left side any more. A restart does not fix the problem. The system then eventually destabilizes to the point that I have to restore from my Firewire external HD clone using SuperDuper. One time I did a full restore (that takes forever even with a very fast wi-fi set up) to fix the problem.
I am usually in Safari or playing a Game such as a third party card game application to pass the time until the battery completely drains. I also have Filevault enabled.
Why is the MacBook Pro battery reset causing this OS instability? How can I reset the battery without encountering these sleep issues?

Thank you Dale.
This article mentions that recalibration should be done every two months. I think I waited 4-6 months before doing a recalibration on purpose. Though I probably ran out the battery power before then recharging overnight (some commenters on Apple Discussions said to wait 5 hours before recharging!).
I think that my battery goes into a forced shutdown rather than true sleep. Your linked thread states that this often causes directory damage. But I ran DiskWarrior and Disk Utility immediately after the stated problems occurred. And these programs pretty much repair any directory damage. But they failed to correct the problems I listed in my original post.
So I question the conclusion that not calibrating every two months caused irreparable directory damage that even DiskWarrior or Disk Utility cannot repair. The damage appears more extensive than this in my opinion.
The battery is only a year old with 92.35% of its original current capacity and 537 cycles. The current charge is over 6350 at 99.47%. It will eventually go to 100%. I can run over 4 hours of normal usage on a single battery charge.
Side note -- to my knowledge, nothing in the original MacBook Pro manual suggests that the battery requires regular recalibration of any kind to maintain the integrity of the battery. Much less every two months. If this is a requirement or even highly recommended, then Apple has done a good job hiding this information. And the available recalibration information varies from one type of battery to the next and is often inconsistent.
Apple's comments in the past support the idea that recalibration improves efficiency and fixes some battery issues as they occur, but that it is not manditory to maintain the health of the battery.
Do you have an official battery recalibration source (preferably Apple) that indicates regular battery recalibration is crucial and exactly how this must be done for MacBooks with builtin batteries?

Wi Fi looses connection after long sleep and the performs poorly after reconnecting

I am having trouble with the Wi FI dropping after a long sleep. Then after getting back on line trouble with pages loading slowly. This just started when I switched to Road Runner Lightning using a Ubee DVW 3201B modem/router. My service provider is Brighthouse. They suggested that the MAC firewall is the problem. Do I need the firewall with asecure router/ any help appreciated.

I have the same issue and have to cycle the wireless modem on the laptop. Doesn't matter if I'm on a preferred netowrk or no, or if I stay on the same network or move. I come out of sleep, I have to cycle the modem.
It's not life threatening, or anything, but it's a hassle. I didn't have the issue with Snow Leopard.

Losing connection after being 30 minutes online

Hey all,
My first post here, and it's a problem , hope that you can help me.
I'm having a bit of trouble with my graphite basestation, when i'm trying to connect it to my ibook g3 it works, but when i'm on it for about 30 minutes the airport connection is lost. I tried to reset the base station and check the antenna but the problem remains, after 30 minutes it switches off.
Does anyone know of this problem?
Please help me out here
iMac G5, iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) Airport

A few days ago I bought an airport card 1.1 and a graphite basestation.
I am experiencing the same problem as you decribe!!
Very surprised that there is someone ( and also in the Netherlands ) out there with the same connection problem.
Please, let there be someone telling there's a simple explanation for this!!

Losing connection after a few seconds

Hi all,
My network connection drops after a few seconds from restarting network (with /etc/rc.d/network restart). This has started happening a few days ago and I don't remember doing anything out of ordinary. Conky still reports some (very little) network traffic (4.0kb down, 0.1kb up, around that), but no browser works, and even ping doesn't work. Can anybody point me to the right direction?
Thank you

The right direction would be posting more info and checking some chardware is applicable: are you using wired or wireless, if wired, check the cable, restart the router if you're using one, are you using dhcpcd or some other app etc. etc.

Game losing connection after 10 minutes

I'm playing Battlefield 1942 on my new Intel iMac with Leopard. I know Battlefield 1942 isn't officially supported on intel macs, but it seems to run fine once you get it installed and updated.
However, I can play online fine, but after 10 minutes or so I always get the "Warning Connection Lost" message and I'm booted back to the lobby. It's weird because it always happens 10+ minutes into the game.
All the ports needed in my mac firewall/router firewall are open. I looked at the firewall log and noticed that every time I'm disconnected the same message is posted in the firewall log. But I have no idea what it means:
Jan 27 01:27:13 david-cs-imac Firewall[49]: cupsd is listening from fe80::1:631 uid = 0 proto=6
The "cupsd is listening" is always posted whenever I lose the connection. Anyone have any ideas?

Yes, the ports are open on my router. I already have my firewall on my Mac set to "Set access for specific services and applications" with BF1942 on there.
If the cupsd has nothing to do with me getting disconnected, then it's eerily happening at the exact same time everytime I get disconnected. I mean everytime. I take note of what time it is every time I'm disconnected and then immediately go check the firewall log. Cupsd is always there happening at the same time as when I got disconnected.
I'm pretty sure the game isn't switching ports. From what I've read on the internet it uses a specific port. That port is opened up on my Linksys router.

Losing Songs after Deep Sleep - still happening

I thought my issue with the Song Library disappearing had magically fixed itself, but it has returned. Three times in the past week the library has been empty when turning on my 20GB iPod. I don't think it had even been 36 hours since the last time I used it.
The reset option does not work in this instance for me. Everything shows backup as soon as I connect via the USB cable.
The previous posts on this issue have all been closed. Is this still happening for other users or is there a fix? I am running version 1.2.1.
My next thing to try is a total reformat to see if that helps.
Thanks.
G4 Digital Audio Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I had this same problem and finally went back and reinstalled version of iPod updater 2005-03-23. I purchased by photo ipod last February and it worked fine until I updated with 2005-6-6-26 version, and then it started the problem with the music disappearing and needing to hook it back to my Mac so the music would show up. It does appear to be corrupting the directory, because the music is still on the iPod, but it does not display as being there on any of the munus.
I am currently running version 1.2.1 of the iPod updates, and it does lock up from time to time, but I can easily do a manual reset, and the tunes are still there.
I have not run the updates because each time it causes the same problem to come back.

Losing connection after canceling query

We have noticed that when we launch a long running query and decide to use the cancel button that the connection is lost/broken. To recover we have to first disconnect then reconnect. We are on 3.0.0.4 build 04.34 with latest patch applied. This happens when connected to 10g or 11g. The issue is on both the windows version and the standard java version that we are running on solaris.

I ran it by clicking on the large green arrow in the work space. I tried it with the thin client and also the fat client via tnsnames and both with same result. I went to the logging page and clipped the top entries but there were a bunch of the
'Warning, unhandled exception: Closed Connection' entries.

All browsers lose internet connection after awhile

After upgrading Safari and Java yesterday, all of my internet browsers are losing connection after awhile (10 - 15 minutes), until I disable and enable Airport. However, when the browsers are dosconnected, the airport connection is still ok, because Mail stays connected. The disconnection in the browsers happens randomly.
So if 1 browser suddenly disconnects, all the other browsers cannot connect either. Mail stays connected. Browsers only connect after I disable and enable Airport
I tried the following stuff:
repair disk permission
maintenance
cleared java's cache
rebooted osx a few times
reseted router

Hi Tim
What does your Application/Browser log say in 'console' ?

No connection after waking from sleep using Express as base station

I find it difficult to re-establish my Internet connection after waking from sleep.
The Airport Express is connected to a wired Linksys router. I am using the Airport Express as my main base station. The Powerbook is joining my preferred network, but I am unable to get any in- or outbound Internet traffic.
I am, however, able to connect to my Linkys and login to to its admin area. When I run Ping and Traceroute diagnostics from the Linksys web interface, everything seems to be fine-- I am able to see outside servers. So the problem is this-- I am losing my Internet connection somewhere between the Linksys router and my Powerbook. Only after I fiddle I reset the Airport Express and fiddle with the Airport menu (Turn Airport On/Off) am I finally able to get out to the Internet.
I have the channel switching set to Automatic, but I've also tried running the Airport Express at different channels to no avail.
Has anyone experienced similar problems?

Since you have an Airport Express connected to a separate router, start by disabling the router built into the Airport Express. To do this - run the Airport Admin Utility, select your Airport Express, click Configure, click the Network tab, and uncheck the setting to "Distribute IP addresses". Update settings to the Airport Express. Then - very important - restart all wireless computers.

MBA loses internet connection after waking from sleep

I have a new Macbook Air running Mavericks and new 802.11ac Airport Extreme router.
My problem is that the MBA drops the internet connection after waking from sleep. I tried the solution offered by the OP, but it didn't work.
In my case, here's what I have to do to get a connection again. I open the Network preference pane, and then choose "Assist me..." and then "Diagnostics". Invariably it will show a green light beside Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Settings and Network Settings. I have 5 bars showing in the WiFi menu bar icon. But ISP, Internet and Server will be yellow.
When I go through the steps prompted by the wizard, the ISP/Internet/Server lights turn green on the third screen where I select the wireless network I want to join.
It seems as if it's connecting to the WiFi network when it wakes from sleep, but losing the internet connection?
Note: I have a new iMac as well running Mavericks and don't have this problem with it.
