hi,

any idea to solves this?
thks
regards

Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take all the applicable steps in this support article.  
Step 2
If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it.
Step 4
This step will erase all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 5
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

  • EyeTV: Mac does not start automatically

    Mac does not start automatically for EyeTV recordings. I reinstalled EyeTV but it did not help.
    Any help appreciated.

    I have to same problem: Bought Elgato Sat 3 years ago. Now I decided to install it in the living room and bought a new i5 Mac mini. EyeTV works fine but does not wake up Mountain Lion 10.8.2 sometimes.
    When I program wake up events manually via System Preferences or pmset command in the terminal, all works fine and my Mac wakes up. I tried everything, from clean reinstall to debugging AutoWake.plist and such.
    Annoying!

  • HT4972 The Wi-fi on my iPhone 4 does not connect to my home network or other networks

    The Wi-fi on my iPhone 4 does not connect to my home network or other networks that I have used in the past.  I noticed this after I updated to version 6.  I have tried to reset network settings ;turn off and on wi-fi; reset home network and it's still not working.  Is there a fix for this problem?

    Try resetting your network settings.  Go to General\Reset\Reset Netork Settings.  Sometimes this will fix things.  If not, what type of router do you have, what network are you running (B, G, N, etc.).,
    Good luck!

  • Trying to set up my brand new MacBook Pro and it does not connect with the wifi network I have selected for this purpose. Nothing wrong with the wifi as both my iPad and iPhone are happily connected. Suggestions for connecting to the wifi network accepted

    Setting up my brand new MacBook Pro and it will not connect to the wifi network. Nothing wrong with the network which is happily working for my iPhone and iPad! Suggestions accepted for making this connection.

    Fixing this is a two step process:
    1) System preferences > WiFi/Airport ...
    ... check [√] Ask to join new networks
    "Known networks will be joined automatically.
    If no known networks are available, you will
    be asked before joining a new network."
    2) Remove unwanted networks from the list of "known" networks under
    System preferences > WiFi/Airport > (Advanced) > | Airport/WiFi pane ...
    Close the window and save changes. If no joy, do a restart to ensure you are playing under the new rules.

  • TS1398 iPhone 4 does not connect automatically and does not remember wifi password

    After being idle for a while, my iPhone 4 goes off wifi and when I am connecting manully, the phone does not remember the wifi password. I have a iPhone 3 and 5 where this is not a problem. Can this be linkes to the phone company you use? The iPhone 4 has a different phone company than the other phones. Can anyone help please?

    Hi Damien,
      Thanks for your reply.
      I had not created 2 separated wireless network. The airport extreme has had create wireless allowing it to be extended and the airport express has had it to extend since day 1.
      The only device that does not connect to the airport express when it is far from the airport extreme here is the iPhone 4. I've tested 2 Windows based computers, 2 Macs, 1 Samsung TV and 1 Android phone and they all are able to connect to the airport express when the signal from the airport extreme is weak (please take a look on the screen shots on the original post).
      The screenshots of the 2 devices' wireless set up can be found below:
       Airport Extreme
      Airport Express
        I have seen other people here on the Apple discussions complaining about the same issue with their iPhone 4 and iPad: would it be a iOs problem?

  • After updating to iOS-6 WiFi does not connect automatically.

    After installing the new operating system, I noticed that my iPhone 4S does not automatically reconnect to my WiFi at home.
    I have to manually connect it each time.
    Anybody notice this?
    Any patch?

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • Time Capsule does not connect automatically

    I have a Time Capsule 1TB. On it, I have my iTunes library so I am able to sync it between all my computer on my network (Windows PC Desktop and MacBook Air). When I start my MacBook Air and click and open iTunes it says the iTunes library can't be found. I then have to go into Finder, click on on the Time Capsule, and have it connect. At that pont 9 times out of 10, i can open iTunes without the message coming up. This does not occur on my Windows PC at all, I open iTunes with no issue.
    How can I have my Time Capsule connect automatically when I start up ? An applescript maybe ? I am running the most recent version of OS X Lion.

    Mount the Time Capsule disk.  Open the Users & Groups panel of System Preferences.  If the lock in the lower-left is "closed", click on it to authenticate.  Click the "Login Items" tab toward the right.  Drag the icon of the Time Capsule disk from the Desktop onto the login items window. Quit System Preferences.
    That volume should now mount whenever you start your Mac.

  • Wifi does not connect automatically after sleep

    Since installing Yosemite on my Mid 2011 iMac - when my computer wakes from sleep mode, it does not automatically connect to the wifi.  I have to select the network to join from the top menu bar.  Is there anyway to make it connect automatically like it use to?  Thanks for any and all help!

    Hello ffmed124,
    The steps detailed below can help get your iMac to reconnect to your Wi-Fi network automatically after waking from sleep.
    Check your TCP/IP settings in the Network pane of the System Preferences. Click the "Renew DHCP lease" button
    Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
    Choose Network from the View menu.
    Select Wi-Fi, then click the Advanced button in the lower-left hand corner of the screen.
    Click the TCP/IP tab from the top of the screen.
    Click the "Renew DHCP lease" button.
    Select the Wi-Fi tab and view your Preferred Networks list.
    Select each network and click the minus (-) sign to remove those networks from your Preferred Networks list.
    Click OK and close the Network preferences.
    Remove your stored network passwords using the Keychain Access Utility. 
    Open Keychain Access from /Applications/Utilities. Your window will look like this:
    Remove your AirPort network passwords from the login keychain: Select the "login" keychain from the Keychain sidebar. Click the "Kind" column to order the list of keychain items by their type. Remove all entries of the kind: "AirPort network password".
    Remove your AirPort network passwords from the System keychain: Select the "System" keychain from the Keychain sidebar. Click the "Kind" column to order the list of keychain items by their type. Remove all entries of the kind: "AirPort network password".Note: The above steps will remove your Wi-Fi network passwords. If you do not know them, or if your network does not use passwords to restrict access, you should contact your network administrator.
    Restart your computer.
    Join your Wi-Fi network. You will need to enter your password for your network again if it requires one.

  • Bluetooth speaker does not connect automatically in windows 8.1

    before the upgrade (?) to 8.1,if i turned on my bluetooth speaker,it automatically took over from the speakers of my laptop.No drivers,no further changes needed.
    After upgrading to 8.1 i have to disconnect the speaker,connect it again,then set the speaker as my standard speaker.then it plays.every time again and again.
    how do i fix this?

    Me too.  It shows that it connects and briefly reads "Connected" and then quickly switches to "Not Connected".  My Windows Phone 8, when trying to connect to Windows 8.1 PC via Bluetooth is doing the same thing and I
    receive this both from the PC and the phone.  My phone does successfully connect to my Bluetooth speaker, but not from the PC only from the phone.   Has this been fixed yet and I missed it?  One thing
    I've learned while being a part of a smaller market share having had a Windows Phone for several years now, the solutions come quietly and sometimes go unnoticed.  Only later will I find myself thinking, "Oh yeah it works now, they've created a solution". 
    Case in point: Red Laser stopped working then shortly thereafter there was the Eye icon available at the Bing screen that can scan just about anything that can be scanned.  Is there a similar thing happening with my Bluetooth device drivers from my 8.1
    PC and I need to manually push something?  When there is a solution, will you please alert me and the rest of this thread?  Thanks much in advance!

  • Mac Mini not connecting to Wi Fi network - 10.5.5?

    My Mac Mini won't connect to my wirelss network - although my iPhone, iMac and laptop are fine. It used to, but suddenly not any more. Is this related to the 10.5.5 update? I'm having a stab at trying to fix the Time Machine "can't get MAC address" bug, and thought I'd switch from wired to wireless to see if it made any difference, but I can't. Anyone any ideas?

    It did briefly once, but now Airport just says "scanning" all the time. I'm plugged in via ethernet usually which continues to work fine. My wireless network is also visible and working fine to my 2 iMacs, iPhone and (non Apple) laptop. No error messages, just can't see the wireless network. The network has WEP security. I tried switching it off but that didn't make any difference.

  • IChat does not connect automatically at Startup

    When I first turn on my computer Mail, Safari and iChat use to automatically logon and connect. I am using an Airport Extreme to make a connection to my cable modem. With my new Intel Mac the Safari and Mail connect with no problem. The iChat AV 3.1.1 now has to be manually connected to AIM service. After talking with a Apple Support person nothing has changed. Can anyone shed some light on my problem.

    Hi Tom
    Do these look OK to you?
    I am afraid not yet.
    Ok the Airport device is certainly doing DHCP on your Net and this is the device that the computers can see as being closest.
    In the Internet tab it also says it is getting it's IP from the Internet side also by DHCP. Now this could be from the Modem.
    It could be from the ISP(Internet) if the Modem is in Bridge mode.
    In the Internet tab are there any IP addresses visible ?
    Do they start with 192.168.xxx.xxx or similar to the Airport itself 10.xxx.xxx.xxx or 172.(16-32).xxx.xxx (an odd part group that last one)
    This would mean the modem was also a DHCP server (not good)
    Or do they match the nuber you are shown when you go here
    This will mean the modem is most likely in Bridge (good)
