Mac OS X Lion doesn't autoconnect to wifi network

Hello,
I have a small problem concerning my Wifi connection. I used to have Mac OS X 10.6 to automatically connect to my favourite network. But since I upgraded to Lion 10.7 I'm asked to pick my network from a list after start-up. I tried several times to check/uncheck the "Connect to my favourite networks automatically"-button, but this didn't help at all.
Do you have any suggestions? Or will I have to setup my network once again on my TimeCapsule ?
Thanks in advance,
Sven

....same problem. As well if I connect to the same computer with an other profile no way to get the Wifi connection, first I have to get into the main account, connect manually the Wifi and change to the otherone...
Help would be welcome!
Thanks, Florian

I updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.0.2. my wifi says its connected but doesn't work now. It doesn't matter what wifi network I connect to. It worked before updating my phone. I can no longer use facetime or use wifi at all. I'm not sure what to do to fix it.

I'm having similar issues with my phone. I got my first iPhone recently, only had an iPod touch gen4 for a little over a year. Updated to 6.0.2 when we got the phone (iPhone 5) a few days before Christmas. When I got home on the evening of January 11, my phone would not connect the router anymore. I was able to get it to connect after resetting the phone and the router, updating the router, and manually connecting. That laste for a few minutes and then wouldn't work anymore. I live in an area with very limited service, we have a network extender installed to help, and I am barely getting a 3G signal at times.
My wife's iPad 4, my touchiPod 4, and all of our laptops are working just fine on the router. When I dropped my kid off at school today, I noticed that I am not even seeing the school network anymore from the parking lot where before I got 3 or 4 bars and could connect to their wifi when I was there. Today my phone goes back and forth between seeing my home network but not connecting, to not even seeing the network at all even from the same room that the router is in.
Hope Apple fixes this problem soon..............

2 Lion Problems: Waking from Sleep Doesn't Go to Wifi Network; & Can No Longer Finger Swipe in Firefox to Move Backward/Forward

I hve a late 2009 iMac at home that I've upgraded to Lion. So far, there are only 2 issues that I'm having:
1 - When I wake the iMac from a long sleep, it doens't automatically log into my wifi network. I have to drag the mouse up to the menu bar, click on the signal icon and choose my wifi network. A few tiems yesterday, the computer stopped recognizing the network while I was in the middle of surfing. Haven't had that in a while, but the inability to log in directly after waking up remains.
2 - I use Firefox to surf. I can no longer move backwards and forwards between pages by swiping left or right. It works in Safari, but not in Firefox. Is that a new functionality that has to be rebuilt into Firefox because of Lion?

I have a similar wifi problem after installing Lion. When my computer goes to sleep or I turn my wifi off, it won't reconnect to my wireless network. I have to manually select it and then retype my wep password. It tries to connect and then says "connection timeout" and the login failed, however, even though it says that it was unable to connect, it actually does connect and I get regular connectivity. Frustrating.
I have a 15" core i7 2010 MBP.
@Caleb was here. I had the same issue before I switched to Lion, turned out it was some issue with my router. I bought another router and I haven't had the issue since. Try changing from WEP to WPA (you should do this anyway) and see if you have the same issues still.

Mac mini doesn't recognize my wifi network

MY new Mac Mini won't show my wifi network on the list but recognises all of my neighbors' networks. The router is right next to it. Once it connected and worked normally but as soon as I switched off the computer and turned it back on the next day, it would recognize the network again. Help!

Power off and then back on your router.

10.4.10 doesn't autologin to wifi network

Hi,
Just updated to 10.4.10 and my MBP does no loner autojoin my wifi network as long as it is secured. I've tried just about everything: delete and add again the network to my prefered networks, delete keychain entries to my network and enter them again, and even updating from the combo all over again in safe mode.
This only happens if I secure the net, either using WEP, WPA or WPA2.
Any other advise?

Ok, partially solved: had to check an option in Airport options - If no prefered network is found - Keep searching for recent networks.
And this is a partial solution due to this report in system log at boot:
Jun 26 04:23:35 MBP /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Resources/airport: Error: SecKeychainSearchCopyNext() failed -25300
Jun 26 04:23:35 MBP /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Resources/airport: Error: password required for "XXXXX" not found in keychain.
Still, I tried rebuild the system keychain using SystemKeychain -C in terminal, sudo prompt, and testing it using SystemKeychain -vt to check if system can succesfully unlock it (it can now), but the error at boot is still there. What my system does now is:
-Checks for pass in keychain but doesn't find it.
-Once booted the user is the one that keeps searching for available netwoks and succeeds logging.
Definitely something Apple should look at cause it's not the way is ment to work.

Since last day my Mac Pro dosen't connect to my home wifi network. When i try to search, it dosen't see the network. My iPhone connect to the network without problems. I didn't, change any configuration of the network. Is it a physic problem?

Physic problem at Mac Pro wifi adapter?

Mac Pros are desktops.
MacBook Pros are notebooks.
The Mac Pro may not have a built-in WiFi Airport card, but can have one added.

The App Switcher of Mac OS X Lion doesn't display properly after waking up from sleep

Hey guys,
I have a MacBook Pro15 inch Core2Duo 2.66GHz running Mac OS X 10.7.2.
When my Mac woke up from sleep, sometime the Application Switcher doesn't show the iconc properly like this.
Other time, it shows the dark icon.
The color profile setting seems to be messed up. But it only affects certain apps.
Some of my affected apps are
Application Switcher
like attached image
Icons got darker
TweetDeckThe app becomes darker overall
Gaicho Software's XRGThe supposed-to-be orange indicater became red
Is there any solution to this?
Thanks in advanced!

Yes, change your display / colour profile to a different (or the default) profile. Has worked for myself, and many others on other forums.
Hope that helps...

On Mac OS X Lion rebooted Cisco router and my network has disappeared

I have no internet connection now. My netwrok disappeared from the list. I did the on and off , reboot modem etc. I tried to reinstall the Cisco software and a message popped up saying Cisco doesn't support my version of OS X. The wifi was working fine on Lion for at least a week, then wifi started dropping off on my iPad so that is why I rebooted the router and now it doesn't work at all.

What Cisco software are you running on your Mac? You should be able to connect to the router's control panel by going to its network address with a browser, although be aware that Safari douesn't handle some of the control panel javascript correctly, so you might want to use Firefox.

Mac keeps remembering (and connecting) to a forgotten Wifi Network

My macs keep connecting to my slower speed (80211g) network. I only want it to connect to my 80211n network. I have removed the 80211g network from open network connections > advanced and selected the network then pressed the minus button. I have also searched my keychain to remove any references to it. However it is still remembered by the computer and sometimes connects to this slow network. It is quite frsutrating. Any suggestions?

I'd report this as a bug.
Isn't there some builtin backup to the icloud for ipad settings? Perhaps this is interfering.
Some printers support ad hoc network. This means the printers create their own network.
Buy another box
"The xPrintServer-Network Edition is a 'plug-and-print' hardware print server for printing from Apple iOS devices running iOS version 4.2 or higher. The device is roughly the size of an iPhone and uses the iOS native print menu. It requires no additional applications, software downloads, or printer driver installations and automatically discovers available networked printers supporting JetDirect / AppSocket, LPD and IPP protocols."

Ipod Touch 4th Gen doesn't see my WIFI network.

I recently erased the ipod and set up as a new ipod (regifted to my daughter) and updated to 6.1.5. It does not find my network now after the update. All my other devices connect no issue, as did this ipod before the erase & update. As a side note, the camera also disappeared after the update. I erased it again and set it up as new again and the camera reappeared, but still no network.
I tried to manually enter my network by name and it says it's not found.
Help?
I was going to go to the Apple Store but it's nearly an hour away and we're under a foot of snow. Any suggestions?

If not:

One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:

Hi,
With the google translate, It seems that you are facing with the following problem:
A network cable is not connected correctly or may be damaged
Problem with wireless adapter or access point
For this issue, I suggest you try the following steps:
Try with another account, or test with another system, another cable.
Reinstall network adapter.
Open Device Manager then Network Adaptors, find the wireless NIC and choose properties then open the power management tab and uncheck the one that says "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".
Test this issue in safe mode with networking
Windows Startup Settings (including safe mode)

Does this work? and I would be appreciate if you could update the diagnostics with English.

MBA doesn't connect to wifi network after waking from sleep

I just bought a new MBA 13". More often than not, it fails to connect to my wireless network when it wakes up from sleep. This is annoying to say the least. Any ideas?

Hi,
I'm thinking about a trouble with the route table. Try this in a terminal session after startup:
netstart -rn
ping <network address>
After somes answer, close the cover to go to sleep mode.
Open the cover and look the result of the ping command
Normaly you don't have a network
cancel the ping command and redo the netstat commande
Normaly some rows are missing in the result (i don' know why)

IPhone 4 Doesn't Detect ANY wifi networks at all

I just got my iphone 4 a couple of days back (Finally) and to my dismay, it failed to detect a single wifi network.
After hours of throwing it around at home, it finally picked up my wifi network (although there are about 10 others which it didn't display).
Thats the only network its been able to detect, I'm currently elsewhere and I would like to use it's wifi.
My step-brother got his iphone 4 the exact same time as me from the exact same retailer and he has had no problems at all. Any help?

My ipad 2 does that same thing but it hasent connected for 4 days.

MacBookPro doesn't see TimeCapsule WiFi network after un-hibernating

Hi everyone,
I'm seeing a strange issue in that, after resuming from 'deep sleep' (hibernate), my MacBook Pro 2,2 can't see my preferred wireless network. I get the dialog saying 'none of your preferred networks are available', which sometimes lists my preferred network (huh?), but the AirPort menu item always lists my preferred network.
Does anyone else get this? It's driving me nuts.
Additional Info: Wifi is WPA2 provided by TimeCapsule. MacBooks and iPhones work fine.

I recently upgraded to mac os x lion. But now my broadband pen doesn't work. I'm portuguese and i use the vodafone network. Can anybody help me?

Hello.
My name is Margarido and i'm portuguese. I use a mobile operator named zon to access the web using a broadband pen modem.
This operator uses the vodafone technical support (network) and since i upgraded to the Mac OS X Lion, the pen modem doesn´t work.
Can anybody help me?
I eared that Mac OS X Lion doesn´t support pen modems yet. Is this true?
Thank you.

Your best bet is to call the Vodafone technical support helpline. Since each manufacturer writes custom software for each OS. They might be working on new drivers...
