MacBook and 10.6.8 wifi issues
I have a MacBook 1,1 and still encounter connectivity issues with my WiFi when I attempt to upgrade to 10.6.8
I have re-installed 10.5.8 and have absolutely NO problems with WiFi connectivity, however, when I install 10.6.8 I cannot remain connected. I have five other devices which have no problems staying connected, so I am certain it is not my router.
I've read dozens of submissions by others who have tries everything from trashing 'corrupted' preference files to resetting the SMC, but the problems returns.
It appears that I can initially connect, however, in a few minutes I loose connectivity, despite the Airport indication of a strong signal (with no exclamation mark, by the way). If the machine goes to sleep, it immediately loses connectivity upon waking.
Has anyone found a solution to this issue?
My MacBook otherwise operates perfectly -- Mac OS X 10.6 is thew highest version that my processor will run.
Help, please?

I can print from my macbook pro using airport express usb connected printer, however my iPad and iphone are looking for an airprint printer. Can I direct the iPad/iphone to the usb connected printer. Macbook iphone and iPad confirm a wifi connection through the airport express.
You will need to install an App like Print Central on the iPad to try to print to the printer. It will allow you to print to most printers. Check with their support folks if you need more info.
PrintCentral for iPad on the iTunes App Store -
Very frustrated as my Macbook has been freezing a lot especially when streaming video online or sometimes just by being on a website with a lot of flash. I've updated all my software and I have 4 gigs of ram. I do have most of my 250 gig hard drive used up....coud this be an issue?

Brand New MacBook Air Randomly Resetting (IMO WiFi Issue)
Good evening,
My problem is as follows:
I purchased a brand new Macbook Air last week and since the get go have been having issues while transferring large amounts of data over WIFI. The issue is that it seems when there is no activity (I leave the files transferring and have no interaction with the computer) and the files are transferring, some sort of error occurs and creates the system to panic and subsequently reboots.
I have contacted Apple, and they ran me through a few common procedures (Reset SMC, RAM, Disk Repair, etc...). On my own I also ran the Hardware Tool several times and the results was always the same (everything in perfectly working order). I also did a restore in the event that it may be some faulty system file, yet to no avail as the problem persists.
As per my title, I believe it has something to do with WiFi card, as I even disconnected all peripherals (USB Apple Keyboard & My Passport External HDD), yet again and as mentioned above the system continues to reboot without any apparent reason.
Below is a copy of the log, certain information has been changed such as UUID, but everything else is as is.
Could it be a hardware problem? As I am only seeing (as of now) this happen whenever I leave the computer and it is downloading a file.

4.3.3 OS and now I have wifi issues
since I upgraded to 4.3.3. both devices (iPhone 4 & iPad 1) are having issues in reconnecting to wifi.
It started intermittently with the IP4 and now the IPad has won't connect and now it's all the time with both devices.
Previously, just a power reset of the AEX would cure it - now zilch.
I've tried setting up the Airport Extreme network again several times in various configurations - permanantly assigned IP addresses to each device, etc.
I have several other devices on different OS and they don't have any issues.
Anyone, please any ideas? It's bad enough living behind the GFW.Try using Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

Wifi issue on iphone 6 and 5s ios 8.02
Apple team,
My wife and I having a wifi issue when we upgrade to the ios 8.02! Such a shame to gettig this feeling. We need the phone to work and using wifi is a way to finish our job quickly! Please fix this ASAP!Hello atharil,
Lets start with the article below for troubleshooting issues with the connection to your Wi-Fi. I would start with removing your Wi-Fi network or even resetting your network settings on your iPhone.

Me and my wife got iphone 6 two days back. Having really bad wifi speeds. comes back to normal after resets. All other devices on ios8 works fine.
Called apple care. They seem to be surprised with the issue even though I see a lot of people having the same issue. Tried the following things
router reset
reset network settings
reset and setup as new
reset and and restore from backup
disconnected all other devices from internet except the two iphones
tried google dns fix
turned off wifi networking
UPgraded to 8.0.2
what am i missing?
thinking of returning both phones because I think it is a hardware issue
thoughts?I changed my router authentication from WEP to WPA2 and so far the wifi issues seems to have gone...
Will keep you posted. If this is the actual culprit, I am still debating to keep the phone or not. Not all public Wifi's are going to be having WPA2.
The other thing that bothers me is that neither my iPad Air or iPhone 5s had these issues even with WEP and updating to iOS 8. -
Still: Macbook Air 2013 Wifi Issues On Wake-Up (And Partial Solution)
I just got my new MBA 13" Mid 2013 last week (updated to Mavericks), and have been having issues with the wifi for a couple days now. Specifically, when I wake my MBA in the morning, it will have disconnected from my home wifi and will not reconnect again. It can see the wifi (and it did ask the WPA2 password after I deleted the network in preferences), but it will not connect due to a "Connection timeout".
I didn't have these issues with my old MBP 13' Early 2011 (also running Mavericks). Also, this only started after I had fully set up my MBA and replaced my MBP, that is, connected it to the external display, hard drive, etc.
Now, it turns out what I have to do is disconnect my external hard drive and reconnect to the network. What kind of architecture makes something like this even possible? And it's not just me, https://discussions.apple.com/message/23423481#23423481 had the same problem: needing to remove a USB device in order to be able to reconnect to his wifi.
This reminds me that with my old MBP, I had an issue where copying large data volumes to external drives via USB would render the wifi connection unusable. So apparently there is something about Macbook architecture that links USB and wifi.
But why does this only occur after a full night of the MBA sleeping? I guess it would have to drop the wifi for energy saving, which it doesn't do right away whenever it goes to sleep?
In any way, this is extremely frustrating. What is the deal with USB and wifi in Macbooks? I really hope Apple can fix this via a software solution, but to be honest, I don't trust them to anymore. I guess for them this is "working as intended".
Cheers
Nate
PS: Please, do not post any links to "troubleshooting steps I may find helpful". I do not, because they were not.It turns out the MBA doesn't even have to go to sleep for this to happen.
Today i received a new HDD for my time machine backups, so some data transfer was necessary. I made a 600GB backup from my Mac and an external hdd I use for media files, then i started copying another 500 Gb from one external drive to another (USB to USB).
Now in the middle of this transfer (which is rather slow to begin with at around 46 MB/s) my wifi connection just went out. My iPhone, iPad and Windows PC can still connect to my router, but the Mac tells me to "move closer" to it.
It's interesting that my Mac can no longer see any other wifis besides my own, so I guess it's wifi range is somehow impeded by these USB transfers? How does that even work?
At around 50% the data transfer had come to a complete halt, so I interrupted the process. Two seconds after I had ejected AND unplugged both external drives, the MBA could "see again". All visible wifis were listed again and I could connect without problem.
Is there anyone with a similar experience? Is this a hardware defect or an architectural problem? Why have I had these USB/wifi-issues on two Macbook models spaced lmost three years apart? -

Mid 2013 Macbook Air serious wifi issues
Okay, so I am basically turning to these forums because I am out of options at this point and am seriously considering selling my Macbook Air. I have a mid-2013 Mabook Air. My Macbook has been an incredibly dependable and efficient laptop until around late August time of 2014. I started having minor wifi connectivity issues (before Yosemite was even out). The problems started with random wifi dropouts, I would get an "icmp timeout" error. I tried dozens upon dozens of fixes for it, from resetting preferences and configurations in the Mac terminal before bootup, deleting the keychain, preferences, I even bought a new freaking wireless router and modem for over $300 bucks. My problems only got WORSE.
My problems still persisted. I moved on to the Yosemite install. Now this past month or two, my Macbook in terms of wifi has become utterly useless. The other night I tried playing my Macbook and it would just constantly disconnect from the wifi. Today I thought I would try reinstalling the operating system and wiping the hard drive. I am in a brand new installation of Yosemite. Now I can't connect to my router at all, I just get a "connection timeout" error" when trying to connect.
Let me say I am an IT professional now and I have tried EVERYTHING in my knowledge of computers to fix the connection problems on this ridiculous laptop. I scoured these forums for hours, tried tons of solutions and suggestions on the web. Below is a complete list:
1) changed system settings and files, basically all the stupid things, the keychain, I've changed settings in terminal, I've reset the cache, I even reinstalled Yosemite entirely while wiping the hard drive, I thought a fresh OSX install would fix any potential system file errors or corrupted areas, guess I was wrong
2) The macbook is not near any other wireless devices and is only 15 feet away from the router
3) I've tried multiple wifi channels and spectrums on my router and even bought a new router and modem with updated firmware which did not fix the problem
4) Tried turning bluetooth off, didn't do crap
5) Nothing else on my network has problems on wifi, and I can turn everything else off and this Macbook will still NOT connect to the wifi
<Edited by Host>I have seen lots of issues on Yosemite with Wifi (and have been having issues myself), but yours seem different. It is a pretty new computer, have you tried taking it in under Applecare (if you live somewhere this is convenient)? Maybe you just got a defective wifi card. I won't defend Apple over this wifi mess, because it really is terrible, but your issue seems not the same as the ones I've read about while researching how to fix mine (unsucessfully....).

Hey everyone,
This problem has been bugging me for a very long time, and have not been able to find the answer I am looking for.
My wife and I both have separate iphone's with separate iCloud accounts and all. We also both use a Macbook Pro with separate logins.
The issue is, when my wife logs in to her account on the macbook, and turns the contacts on to sync with icloud on her phone, all of my contacts are saving to her phone.
This has happened multiple times, and she says she just wont use it, but I rather have everything work together correctly.
Please help!!!If you share an Apple ID, both of your phone numbers should be linked to that ID. You should be able to use your phone number as well. My wife, my daughter and I all share an Apple ID for purchases, and we each text from our iOS devices using our own iPhone numbers.
When iOS 6 came out, you were able to link the phone number with your Apple ID to use for Messages and FaceTime. You will need to sign out of messages on all devices and then start the process all over again.
Take a look at this.

MacBook and MacBook Pro with 10.6: Wireless Airport Issues with Cisco
Long Story but please bear with me:
Loaded SL on my daughters MacBook and my MacBook Pro. Internet worked flawlessly at our house (WEP encrypted) and on other public wifi. When my daughter went back to her sorority house at college 24 hours later, she could not access the internet using the sorority house network (Cisco Aironet 1800 router and Cisco Airo Access Points).
Her Airport on the MacBook appeared connected at full strength yet no internet. Two calls to Apple support (they were very nice) did not help. All the following were tried:
1. Reset PRAM
2. Deleted Airport and Safari plists
3. Edited locations
4. Removed Battery
5. Others I cannot now remember
Still no net. However, she could 'pirate' and hop on line with other identified public wifi adjacent to the sorority house. I drove to the sorority house today and tried to get on the network wirelessly using my MacBook Pro with SL. Same identical results to hers. Another MacBook without SL works great and gets right on the network.
Is this some SL influenced issue with the Airport card and the Cisco system? Weird that both of our laptops work great with several other wifi networks but not the one at the sorority house.
Could much of what we all our seeing with the internet access problem lie not with issues within our software or computers but with the routers and access points not being compatible? I have very little understanding of this stuff (as you all can probably tell) but the Apple Support people acted like it was a old firmware issue with Cisco and not with SL. Not actually what I wanted to hear.
Any ideas or suggestions?Your description there, particularly the last part, sounds like my problem. At home, we connect using Airport and ADSL which was OK, once SL had sorted out passwords.
At my office, where there are two wifi systems, I could not get on either, although did have IP numbers on both. The link to the outside world is via a proxy which uses a PAC file. Network Diagnostics reported each time (whatever I did) that the link to the server was OK, but the Internet was not.
I created a new Location with identical settings (typing them in and not copying) and the only visible difference is that the new location has no DNS numbers -- I had not noticed that before. The moment I pressed, Apply, the computer was online.
I was guessing that there was a conflict in a .plist file somewhere; but now I wonder if DNS might have been the reason (the DNS number usually used is the one from the router itself). -
My MacBook Pro will connect to Wifi at one location (this is a secure location) but will not allow access to the internet. I will put in the password but will not display page. Other wifi capable devises do not have this issue but my Mac and my Iphone 4S will not work. I have tried restarting the router. All other wifi locations I have been to have not had this issue. Any suggestions? I am realtively new to Apple products (less than a year) so any advise is greatly appreciated.
The other devices that are working got on with the same password. It says it is connected. Just nothing works on the internet.

Ok, I recently got a MacBook Air 2013 that it currently OS X version 10.8.3 and it's great except for its absolutely attrocious WiFi problems. For example, after awakening from sleep, the MacBook almost always requires my password for my network even though I have the "remember this network" box checked. More than often, when I enter the password for my network, it will keep saying invalid password, even though I know the password is correct. The only way for me to fix this is to shut down the MBA and reboot it. Simply restarting doesn't fix this password issue.
Sometimes when my WiFi is working, the pages on all my browsers won't even load and the "webpage not found" oage shows up. And so I turn WiFi off then on and the problems I stated above reoccur. Is this an OS X problem or the MBA itself? This is absolutely ridiculous and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.J_BB,
Check which model wireless router you're using (Netgear, Linksys, Motorola). The device type (WRT-54, etc) will be on the side or back.
Google your device model & type to determine its LAN gateway IP; most use 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1
Enter this address in your browser's URL window to access your device's main settings page. If prompted for a username and password, you can find the defaults by googling. You should personalize these after you are done making changes for security purposes.
The default username and password should be on the same page you searched that brought up your model & type. If not, there are pages devoted to collating such information (google is your friend).
For most devices, your SSID (Service Set ID), or the wireless network name which is broadcast, will be the name of the router. Check out these links for a commonly used device (Linksys WRT-54G) - you can click through items as though you are making actual changes:
http://www.supportshots.com/linksys_wrt54g/basic.php
The option to change channels is under the 'Wireless' heading
Save settings when you're finished.
Good Luck!
