Macbook Keeps Forgetting My Wireless
Hey Everyone,
I have had my Macbook for about two weeks now and I am having a constant annoying problem. Every now and then when I open up my Macbook from sleep it has forgotten my wireless network. When I go into network settings my network is listed, but the computer still says it is not found. However, in the list of available networks that it gives me, it lists mine. I doubt it is supposed to be acting like this. It stays connected fine for a while, no matter if I reboot, sleep, it stays connected. But then at other random times it forgets and I need to reenter my key to connect to my network, even though the key is listed in my keychain access under system, therefore I have had to resort to having a text file with my key saved to my computer for when it forgets so I do not have to go looking for it.
Does anyone know what would be causing my Macbook to stop recognizing my network and making me have to reconnect and put in my WEP key?
Hope someone can help, thanks.
PS - It isn't a router that you need to put in the WEP key over and over because it works fine on my Windows XP dell. Also, if I turn off airport and turn it back on, it will then connect to my network fine. Just don't want to have to do this all the time.
I have similar problem happened regularly. I have been using the same credential saved on my keychain for my wireless connection. It caused no problem and my experience of surfing was pleasure for long time until about the Nov in 2008.
My Macbook and my Mini seem to experience the temporary loss of memory. I sometime need to try the credential a couple times to get it thru. I started to wonder if the recent system update would make my Macbook confused.
Anything I can do to resolve this issue?

MacBook Pro forgets its wireless & network internet settings...
Hi...
I'm having problems with my MacBook Pro 'remembering' its wireless and network internet settings. I'm connecting via Airportto my Belkin 54g wireless router which is what has been running happily for the last 18 months.
Here's what happens - AirPort says it's connected, the internet works fine but when the MacBook Pro 'sleeps' or is restarted it 'forgets' its network and internet settings and cannot log on to the internet.
I get the Network Diagnostics appearing and I go through the options and eventually Network Diagnostics will show everything is fine, except there is no internet connection. I click through next options available on screen and I manage to get the MackBook Pro to restore its internet connection. All is fine until the MacBook Pro goes to 'sleep' again or is switched off.
This hassle began out of the blue - I haven't changed any settings on the machine, I haven't installed any software or anti-virus programs - it just spung up!
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance!
philipHi,
I have not encountered this particular problem yet, but I have just bought a Belkin 54g adsl and wireless router. It has connected up to my home pc with no problems and it has also connected up to my macbook pro (leopard) okay, but the range on the internet connection is really poor. It works up to about 50 feet, but I can't use it upstairs, which granted is more than 50 feet away from the source, but at 80 quid I thought it would perform better.
I contacted Belkin support which is local rate and they suggested changing the wireless channel from 11 to 6, but when I did this it would even find the network using Airport.
I would like to be able to use the laptop over 50ft (i.e. in my bedroom) as well as all over the house, but so far I only get as far as the next room!
If anyone has any suggestions I would be grateful? NB: I am not a very technical user.

Macbook keeps forgetting mail password on restart
Why does my macbook pro lose mail password, go to default wallpaper, load calendar when I restart or turn on my computer? How can I fix this?
Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
chmod -R -N ~
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
sudo !!
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset the password.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select ▹ Restart from the menu bar. -
I bought a new MacBook Pro several months ago. I keep losing my wireless connection (my wife, sitting several feet from me has no problem with her iPad2). I find the quickest fix ix to turn Airport off and back on. Very annoying. Suggestions please?
What kind of wireless router are you using? more importantly which protocol are you connecting with? Are you and wife connecting using the 2.4Ghz band? or do you have a dual band router that offers the 5GHZ band? Are you both connecting vie 802.11 a/b/g or n?
The best thing to do is to go into SYSTEM PREFERENCES and select NETWORK, then select AIRPORT and click on the ADVANCED button.
Under the AirPort tab you should delete all the preferred networks and only add back in your network with the proper security settings and passwords.
If you hold down the option key on your keyboard while clicking on the airport icon at the top on your macbook pro. you'll seesome data that will tell you what band and mode you're connecting at, as well as in an indication of signal strength (RSSI) if you write down and post back that information it'll tell us what's going on. -
Macbook keeps dropping wireless connection
Hi
this is my first post so be gentle with me LOL
I have had many issues with BT over the last 8 months, mostly due to the speed I had in my area (was 0.45MB when wired at one point), but I recently started to have an issue with the laptops in the house.
I have 2 teenagers and luckily for them we all have Macbooks as I have given them my old ones when I have upgraded I am using a macbook pro (less than a year old & wireless N) and my eldest boy is using a Macbook (about 6 years old with wireless G) you might see where I'm going here....
the problem is the older macbook keeps losing connection on the wireless, I have called and spoken to the 1st line support guys in India but it's a bit of luck if you can understand them let alone find someone who knows what they are doing. As I work in IT I completely understand and normally ask them to read my notes before advising me especially as I had so many issues last year when I was given a number to get through to the priority care team LOL , so far I have tried the following:
moving the Hub 3 to several locations around the house
reinstalling snow leopard
using a wireless dongle
I live in the middle of nowhere so there are no other houses around which have a hub3 sp none can be affecting me and I've checked this by using programs like inSIDDer.
Finally I thought I'd take it to work to see if I could get the model number of the wireless card and order a new one and guess what it works fine!! So I thought I'd check at a friends and again it works fine for the whole time I'm there.
Brought it home and it won't stay connected GRRRAAA!!!!!!!
I've heard that the hub3 doesn't like having a wireless N & and wireless G laptops on the connecting at the same time is this correct? Has anyone else heard of this?
finnally I do have windows machines in the house and none of them (2 laptops and a desktop which is wired) are having an issue but the Sony TV which is wired directly in to the hub will also drop connection randomly between 8 PM and 10 PM every day so I'm leaning towards the hub being a rubbish router instead of the problem lying with my MacbookThere is some help with wireless connection on this page.

There have been other reports of connection issues with Apple products, including Macbooks. A forum search should find the threads relating to this.

Wireless MM,keep forgetting to close flap on bottom-am I wasting batteries?
Hi I'm new to Mac so please be gentle!!
When I shut down my iMac I keep forgetting to close the flap on my Wireless Mighty Mouse. I know your supposed to do this to switch off the MM.
Am I wasting batteries by not doing this? as I say the iMac is shut down and the Mm is not moved?
Should I close the flap everytime Im finished? what about when you go into sleep mode? should you close the flap/switch off Mm then as well?
cheersHello loc-man:
Here comes a gentle reply!
Apple wireless devices go into a very low power mode after a brief period of non-use. I never shut mine off unless I am shutting the computer down (only done when I am gone for several days).
Something I have found to be helpful is using rechargeable batteries. I use 2650 Duracell ones and I have an Energizer 15 minute recharger (both obtained very reasonably on eBay). In that way, I am never more than 15 minutes away from new batteries and it is environmentally sensitive to boot.

I have a macbook pro. The wireless is always conected but it keeps stopping uring browsing for some minutes. However i am using teh same wireless on my iphone and it wok normaly without any stop or cut. Any help please?
I'm having the same issue. Different programs though, it's mostly browsers and adobe products. I thought maybe it was heat related but it's not. It seems that as soon as Lion was about to be released, the updates were updating in preparation for Lion. I delayed updating the software updates because Adobe (my career) isn't totally compatible with Lion yet. Before I even started getting update notifications, though, within the recent week, it's freezing up constantly. I don't know what to do. It seems to be happening with my brower choice, I'm using Firefox and Chrome as my main browsers. I keep alot of sessions open but that shouldn't cause (and has never caused) this constant freezing issue. I did install some extensions in Chrome and Firefox, maybe that's the problem... The issues began after those were installed though, 3 weeks to a month later... Maybe the software updates (that I installed thinking it would correct the freezing issue), maybe they are preventing other browsers ? Maybe Apple is getting rid of Chrome and Firefox ? I'm not having issues with Safari (yet) though I just opened it for the first time in 2 months... only because the macbook is freezing (and it's also rebooting while asleep, closing all of my projects and not saving them)...
My Macbook Pro is the same year and the HDD is a year new. The manufacture recall had the video whatever replaced a few months ago.
I've never had these kinds of problems with an Apple computer. I'm using Snow Leopard and I'm very attached to this laptop ! It's configured perfectly.
Why oh why does it freeze constantly within the recent 1-2 weeks ?
Someone please help us ! -

MacBool Air / Leopard keep forgetting file preferences.
Hi,
My MacBook Air keeps forgetting file preferences. I'm an audio engineer, and so I want my audio files to open in the programs I prefer over iTunes. Also, quicktime can't play most AVIs, yet it tries to open them.
I know how to set the preferred programs in the info dialog. But as soon as I restart (which I do about once a week) all these settings are gone. This is particularly annoying with iTunes, as it conflicts heavily with my other software, but I can't trash it until I found a good batch convertor.
I first noticed this forgetfulness after switching on FileVault.
The question is: How can I make my macbook remember these settings?This information is stored/controlled by Launch Services. I would try resetting the LS database and see if that helps.
Run these commands in Terminal:
cd /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServi ces.framework/Support/
./lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
Hope that helps...

Thunderbolt Bus:MacBook Pros don't run iOS. 13B42 says you are running Mac OS X 10.9.1. But yes, the graphics chip is a likely culprit. You may be able to clearly identify it with the hardware test for Intel Macs.
This hardware test is built-in if your Mac is newer than July 20, 2011. Otherwise you may need to call AppleCare for the original discs if they are missing.
The other thing that looks odd is the repeated instances of the USB 2.0 hub and the Logitech mini-receiver. Do you actually have multiple of each, or is that just a glitch of the report?
And you actually have 23 Bluetooth devices?

MacBook keeps dropping Airport signal
My new MacBook keep loosing ist connection with the AirPort Express.....i'm not sure if its the Express or the MacBook....there is only a few feet of distance between the two and all updates have been added to the MacBook. After 3 bad Pro's and one bad MacBook I really want to keep this unit and any help you guys could give me would be great.....i'm a new mac user. Cheers.
I had the same issue with my new MacBook and thought it was the notebook.
Here's my story: I went back to the Apple Store where I bought my macbook and told them that there is something wrong with my AirPort card inside the macbook that is "defective" because it kept dropping signals. I would get a connection for a few minutes or seconds and then lose the signal the next! The manager had NO CLUE why that was happening and asked that I show proof by reproducing it inside their Apple Store! I told the manager I would like a new one and she was nice enough to exchange it for me at no cost.
After doing my own research, I discovered that the problem was not with my MacBook, but rather it was with my Linksys wireless DSL router. Luckily, all I had to do was update the firmware on the Linksys DSL router and....I have not lost signal since!
My suggestion is to update the firmware of your router (e.g. Linksys, Belkin, D-Link, etc. All I had to do was go to Linksys' website and download the updates and run it through my router system) and see if that fixes the problem. Good luck! -
Airport keeps dropping the wireless connection to my network 2 or 3 times a day.
Hi,
Since apple's recent firmware update for my macbook pro, airport keeps dropping the wireless connection to my network 2 or 3 times a day. It then searches for a network but can't find it, but if I select my network manually it connects immediately ???
Any fixes for this ..... in layman's language please!
Thanks,
SteveIt is not the router. There are a number of factors that are involved. If the router is a G/N router you may have to switch to G-Only (or disable N). You may also have a 5 GHz wireless phone or other routers in the neighborhood interfereing with the signal.
Try this:
1. Open network preferences. Take note of what IP address is assigned. Then, click Advanced.
2. Click on TCP/IP and select Using DHCP with manual address and type the IP address below that.
3. Click OK.
4. Set your Router to Wireless-G only (or disable N) and change the channel to 11 or some higher number.
This should keep it from dropping the wireless connection. It is a bug in the OS. Apple has not fixed it in 3 years.
You wireless connection will be a tad slower, but you really won't notice.
Hope that helps.

Remote app keeps forgeting Apple TV
Good afternoon! Apple's Remote app 4.2.1 on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.1.3 keeps forgetting my AppleTV 2 running Apple TV Software 7.0.3. When I open the app, AppleTV isn't an option (other iTunes libraries on my network do appear though). I can get my Apple TV to re-appear temporarily by using the remote that came with the AppleTV to navigate to Settings > Computers > Turn Off Home Sharing and then turning home sharing back on Shortly thereafter, however, the Remote app can no longer see the Apple TV.
Any suggestions for how I can get Remote to permanently remember the Apple TV? Thanks!Is this what you are looking for: http://itunes.apple.com/app/remote/id284417350?mt=8?

I have been able to get my MacBook Pro to print wirelessly through my Airport device. How do I make it so other computers (non-Mac) can also print wirelessly as well? They are able to connect through my wireless network but can't print.
Well, you could install the drivers to the wireless printer in you other computers.

check printer sharing.
