Losing wifi when connecting my cintiq 21UX to my 2014 iMac

Last week I bought a new iMac and when I connect (via Thunderbolt & USB) my Cintiq 21UX to it I lose my wifi connection - obviously I'd like to have both working at the same time - any ideas??

Will my Mac automatically stop using wifi when connected to an Ethernet enabled thunderbolt display?

Will my 2012 Macbook pro retina automatically stop using wifi when connected to an Ethernet enabled thunderbolt display?

Depends.
If you go in System Preferences / Network, you will see a list of all the network interfaces your current configuration has. If you click on the gear icon next to the minus sign, the drop menu will offer "Set Service Order...". There you can prioritize the order of use: Ethernet above Wi-Fi and wireless will be ignored if Ethernet is available.
Note that the Wi-Fi card will remain active and associated with an access point nonetheless. It just won't be used for communications by the OS and apps.

You can connect the audio from your iMac to your TV using a mini jack (like headphones plug) to rca (regular red and white audio connectors used on every TV,DVD, etc) cable.
On your TV, you need to be able to set the audio for the HDMI input you will use to "analog" and connect the rca end of the cable to the analog inputs on your TV.

No WIFI when connected to External Display

When I connect MBA to a Dell 2405FPW monitor, wifi gets a "connection timeout".
When I disconnect external display, wifi works - all this with the same wifi point.
I took MBA to the apple store, they connected the MBA to their displays and it works. This is very stressful since I cannot take the dell monitor to the apple store - Its where I work.
I also tested the MBA on a newer 24" dell monitor(At work) with same output. My only result was turninng to a less dimension monitor - works fine(again, all with the same wifi point). Is there a limitation when connecting MBA to external monitors - MBA? Again, very frustrating dealing with this issue. My previous MBP had no issues with this dell monitor. Any recommendations will be appreciated.

Alexander - I have a MBA 1.6 HDD and have been experiencing the same problem as you have. I connect via micro DVI to a 23" Apple Cinema Display and have been losing transmission speed or connection altogether with my Airport Extreme.
I have been reading the posts regarding this issue and found a link to this article on maximizing wireless connectivity with an external display and MBA: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307295.
After reading the article and trying different settings, I found that my Airport was set to channel 11 and if I set it to 6 I stopped having connectivity issues and was able to work without incident. Give it a try - I hope it works for you.

The Note 4 slows down the wifi when connected, constant data transfer.

The Note 4 locks up our wifi with excessive data traffic, our S5 phones do not do this. What should we look at in settings, apps, etc to fix this. It cannot be connected to wifi in its current state!

WiFi is a great resource and I want to be sure that you can use yours successfully with your Note 4, Gahwrv. What kind of router are you connecting to? When connected to WiFi are you unable to use data at all or is the connection slow? If you go to Settings>WiFi>Select Menu icon>Advanced is Smart Network switch enabled? If so, please try disabling it and testing your connection.

My Macbook Pro Keeps losing Wifi when awoken from standby

Hi There,
Please help. My Macbook Pro won't register my home network when I awake it from standby, or sometimes even when I turn it on from being 'off'. It won't connect to the internet or even find my home Network. I know that it is not my router, because my wife is sitting on her windows laptop next to me, fully connected to to our home network. My Iphone also picks up the Network. It's like my Macbook Pro can't even see it. At all....
Please help...
I am using my phone's personal hotspot tp type this as i still connect to the internet...
Any advice greatly received....

Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
See KB Articles: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1401 AirPort troubleshooting guide
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712 Using network locations in Mac OS X
============================
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.
Also, run the Airport Utility app which is located inside the Utilities folder (if using one of Apple's routers. If using a 3rd party router, contact the vendor and/or read its user manual.
=====================
I'm thinking I might as well return the Macbook
You have 14 days from the purchase date to do the above.

MBP losing WIFI when Airport doesn't

My Mac BookPro has only g airport and is not upgradable. I also have an iPad (original). The MBP regularly loses the signal from my Time Capsule router. any settings that can stabilize this?

Have you considered posting in the MacBook Pro forum, this is the iMac forum.
A loss of signal can be caused by many things, sometimes just changing the channel on your Time Capsule will work. If you live in a suburban area you are probably competing for channels with your neighbors. You will need to use Airport Utility to change the channel. Another possibility is the DNS setting your ISP uses. Please read MacWorld's DNS Troubleshooting article and change the DNS setting on your computer.

"iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because the device timed out." Why am I getting this message when connecting my iPhone 5 to my 27" iMac running OS X 10.8.5?

I have a new 27" iMac with the 3.4 Ghz processor. I cannot move any iTunes files to my iPhone 5 because of the message in the subject line. Any idea why?

Hey amyroseofclyde,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the iPhone is not appearing in iTunes. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

IOS 7 using wifi when plugged in

iPhone 4 user here, updated to iOS 7 and now when my phone is plugged in and connected to wifi it keeps using my wifi, iCloud is off wifi syncing is off so anyone has any idea whats using my wifi when connected ?

Same here. I have to manually kick off a sync, so have to go to my Mac. If I forget, I don't have any new items. I've also recently found that Podcasts no longer sync from iTunes, even once I start the sync manually.

IPad Keeps Losing Wifi Connection??

Hi,
About 2 days ago, my iPad 2 began losing wifi connection. I would have to tap "Forget this network" and then wait a bit and then tap on the network again and type in the password. After that, the iPad would gain wifi again until about 5-20 minutes later, it loses wifi connection AGAIN. Sometimes when I did that it still didn't even work! And it also bothers me because it still has the wifi sign in the top left corner of my ipad screen, even if the wifi connection is not working. This has happened continuously throughout the past 2 days. Sometimes, the wifi would work for a good amount of time before it was gone again, and sometimes it loses connection after like 3 minutes. But all the other electronics in my house are perfectly fine, it's just my iPad 2 that's been doing this.
I tried to tap "forget all network settings" and then restart my ipad, but that didn't help. I'm not sure if it's the iPad's problem (since all the other electronics work) or if it's the wifi.
Please help! This is very annoying.
(And i have a new update which is 7.1.2, but that's been there for a pretty long time bc I always forget to update it. But I don't think that's the problem.)

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

The iTune Remote App has stopped finding my iTunes library when connected to wifi from my main router, but works fine when connected via second wifi router on the same network (different SSID)

I'm running iTunes Remote App from a couple of iPhone 5's and a first generation iPod Touch. iTunes is running on a PC - Windows 7. My home network runs two Wifi Routers, each with a different SSID. I've had no problems with the Remote app running this set up for the last 8 months but recently the App can only find my iTunes library when the iPhone/iPod is connected via one specific router, when connected to the network via the other router, no iTunes library is found. I'm also running an Apple TV and it's the same as the iTunes Library, only visible via the one SSID.
Everything else seems to work fine when connected via either router, eg Internet on the iPhones (definitely via wifi)
I've tried renewing the lease on the iPhone wifi connection, restarting everything.....several times.....
It used to work fine, this only seems to have been a problem in recent weeks
Any help or advice would be much appreciated
Thanks
Ian

It turned out to be the firewall settings on our router. Her machine was sending traffic that our router interpreted as a DoS attack and blacklisted her Airport's MAC address. That's why it would work fine if she switched to Ethernet.

My iphone won't download apps when connected to wifi or 3g, this includes apps previously on the phone any ideas?

It goes to download then stops just showing the cloud and arrow

Yes we are connected. I even tried by connecting to the computer thru iTunes. It is not working for either of us. Just says unable to download at this time. I was able to connect and restore my apps from my old iPhone buy it won't let me add new ones for do update on the old apps.

I've seen all the posts for fixing the wifi on the 4s, none of them work! So, who can tell me why my iPhone 4S cannot find any wifi when it used to easily, and when it does it can never connect?

I've seen all the posts for fixing the wifi on the 4s, none of them work! So, who can tell me why my iPhone 4S cannot find any wifi when it used to find wifi, and when it does find a wifi network it can never connect? You think apple would have a clue how to fix it! Because turning the wifi on and off doesn't work, resorting network settings doesn't work, even restoring phone to factory default doesn't work...

Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

My wifi is connected but when i try to connect to safari it tells me its not connect it says safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet.. but the wifi is on and connected, i have tryed resetting the network settings

my wifi is connected but when i try to connect to safari it says the internet is not connected, i tryed resetting network system but still no luck.

Your iPad sees the WiFi network signal but obviously it is not connected to the network. Try rebooting your router - unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

I have one itunes account with two phones. when i phone one of the numbers both phones have started to ring, only when connected to wifi at home. How do i resolve this please?
