MacBook Pro airport doesn't choose 5 GHz network when waking from sleep

Hi,
I recently set up a Time Capsule [TC] 802.11n (4th Gen) as my airport base station catering for my MacBook Pro [MBP], iPad (1st Gen), iPod (3rd Gen) and BlackBerry 9900. I have it set up in dual-band mode (2.4/5 GHz) with the same SSID, mainly hoping to take advantage of the increased speed of the 5GHz band during Time Machine backups - I get a Transmit Rate of 300 Mbit/s when connected at 5 GHz and 145 MBit/s at 2.4 GHz. Aside from that I don't really care which it chooses to be honest - my internet connection is only 12 Mbit/s. When I start up my MBP from a full shut down within an 'appropriate' distance from the TC, AirPort automatically selects the 5 GHz band and falls back to 2.4 GHz if I stray too far.
The problem arises when I wake my MBP from a sleep (which is pretty much always having closed the lid each time I'm done using it) and AirPort ALWAYS selects the 2.4 GHz band and will never change to the 5 GHz band unless I fully disconnect from the network and then reconnect.
The iPad and BlackBerry both switch happily between the two bands as I move around the house, opting for the 5 GHz when possible and always without intervention so the set-up obviously works.
I think it's a problem in Snow Leopard having read problems around the internet from users who have upgraded from Leopard to SL, most of whom seem to do what I'm thinking, i.e. setting up a different name for the 5 GHz network and putting it higher in the priority list that the 2.4 GHz one, however the solution isn't ideal/elegant and certainly not how it's supposed to work, but I've yet to find a definitive solution from Apple anywhere.
Anyone else having this problem? Anyone found a solution? Anyone heard anything from Apple?
Thanks!

Yes. I'm having a very similar problem. I don't have TC, but I have a netgear wndr4000. I'm always bring my MBP out of sleep and having to manually select the 5GHz band. Even when I know it should. I have different SSID's on each band, and I have tried setting the priority order, but that has another set of problems. When I get a little farther away, it will hook to the 5GHz band at 54Mb, but the 2.4GHz will be at 130Mb at the same distance. I thought it would make some type of smart choice about it.
I had been thinking about moving to a Airport Extreme because I've been told by others that their machines make the correct choice with the SSIDs set the same.
I too am on Snow Leopard, but I'll be upgrading soon.

My MBP doesn't remember my Time Capsule wireless network when waking from sleep

My MBP (OS 10.5.8) doesn't remember my Time Capsule wireless network when waking from sleep. Thus, every time my MBP wakes from sleep, I need to select the Airport icon in the upper menu bar, select "Join other network", enter SSID and password. This is very cumbersome. And, I never had this problem when I was using the ISP's provided wireless router/gateway/DSL modem. Adding the Time Capsule and using it to generate the wireless network has introduced this problem.
It appears that this problem has to do with the hidden SSID. I don't need the lecture on how hidden SSID provides no serious security benefit. That's why I have the WPA2 encryption. I'm interested in a solution that will allow the Time Capsule to generate the wireless network, maintain a hidden SSID, continue to use WPA2 encryption, but have my MBP recognzie and autoconnect to this network.
Solutions I've alread tried:
1. Open Network Preferences
2. Select Airport from left hand column (and ensure Airport is at top of that list)
3. Select Advanced
4. Delete all Preferred Networks.
5. Apply settings.
6. Restart computer
7. Return to Network Preferences and from Advanced page, manually add my network with hidden SSID and WPA2 password
This solution works fine as long as I don't take my computer elsewhere and connect to another network. As soon as my preferred networks list gets another network, my MBP stops finding my TC network. Since I take my laptop to a lot of places (it's a laptop, after all...) this is a problem.
As I say, prior to adding the TC on my network (and using it to generate the wireless network), my MBP had no problem keeping 50+ preferred network names/passwords in the Preferred Network list, but always automatically finding/connecting to my home network without the need to "Join other network." Thus, I assume the problem lies with the Time Capsule.
Any ideas?

LaPastenague, thanks for weighing in. Didn't know that the hidden SSID capability was not IEEE standardized, and thus different devices will handle hidden SSID differently. With my admittedly limited knowledge of how SSID/hidden SSID works, I'm still a little confused as to why my MBP would remember the generic router/gateway's hidden network, but struggle with the TC's hidden network.
To my knowledge, when an SSID is broadcast by a base station (Airport, wireless gateway, etc.), a connecting device (like a laptop, iPad, etc.) detects this broadcast--this would be a passive reception of this SSID signal.
When an SSID is hidden, the base station does not broadcast its identification. Rather, a connecting device must transmit the name, and when the base station recognizes the broadcast, the connection is made. That's what you do when you select "Join another network" and manually enter the SSID.
The idea with OS X's Network Preferences is that these steps, whether for hidden networks or broadcast SSIDs, become automated.
Where is the potential for a different chipset between the TC and the previously used wireless router/gateway to alter this functionality? Shouldn't the selection of an SSID by the MBP to broadcast to seek for a base station be a function solely on the MBP? And once broadcast by the MBP, the TC should detect and reply?
Basically, the MBP can connect to the hidden TC manually just fine. The MBP can connect to the old setup automatically just fine. The MBP cannot connect to the TC automatically. Aren't these automatic connection functions solely on the MBP?
I'll try un-hiding the network and re-verifying that the problem is exclusively with the hidden network.

IMac loses connection to network when waking from sleep

Hi There,
We are a small mixed environment of Macs and PCs running on a Windows 2008 domain. One of 2 iMacs that now run Mountain Lion 10.8.5 is having problems when waking from sleep. One of our designers will go for lunch and the machine will sleep for about 30 to 40 minutes. Upon her return the iMac will kick her off of the 3 shares she usually logs into (2 are on Win2008 machines, and 1 is a MacPro running 10.6.8 Server).
If she has files open in any of the Creative Suite Apps, the app will crash and she will have to restart the whole machine. If no files are open then she can usually reconnect to the shares after a short while. Obviously I told her not to leave any files open, but its causing her some headaches.
Its also creating srv errors (id 2012) on our domain controllers, when she tries to wake her machine.
This Imac is a late 2009, and we have a 2011 model that has no issues at all. Both are set exactly the same.
I have reset SMC, Pram, and rebinded to the domain, and searched through these forums quite a bit to no avail.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated.

I am continuing to work on this issue, and have tried a number of things based on searching here and elsewhere.
And Lucky Me, I have been able to replicate this behavior on one of other Macs (imac 2011, on 10.8.5). I also see errors on 2 separate Windows file servers on the domain (Event ID: srv 2012).
Below I am posting what seems to be the relevant area of the log.

This is from the 2011 iMac, and I see something very similar to this on the 2009 machine.
I continue to think this is a software issue related to 10.8.5 and Adobe CS (CS5 on the 2009 machine and CS 5.5 on the 2011) as this appears to have come up only since the recent update.
Any help would be appreciated.

I recently installed a new SSD and installed Mountain Lion on my mid 2010 MacBook Pro, and now it randomly crashes sometimes upon waking from sleep. What's wrong?

I have no clue how to diagnose this problem. I've run disk repair but nothing seems to work.
Here is the crash report:

Mac Pro restarts when waking from sleep

Hi everyone.
I just got a brand new Mac Pro (2 x 2.66GHz), and had Apple upgrade the RAM to 2GB (4 x 512MB). My first problem is that the computer always restarts when waking from sleep, which is annoying! I have reset the SMC by unplugging the machine for a minite, but the problem persists. I have also tried sleeping the computer with nothing plugged in except the monitor and keyboard/mouse, but I get the same problem. All software/firmware is fully up to date.
I have also just noticed that the System Profiler states that there is only 1GB RAM in the computer, even though I am sure that it recognised 2GB when I got the machine a fortnight ago (I even have a screen shot of 'about this mac' to prove it!). Can anybody help, or do I need to phone Apple support?
Thanks,
Matthew

I have a similar problem - hard restart when closing the lid to put it to sleep. It looks like there is a bluetooth issue(?), but I'm not sure what to do with it. We don't have any blue tooth devices in our house. From the console log:

Won't reconnect to network when awoken from sleep

What would cause my G5 to not be able to connect to my network when awoken from Sleep? The only way to resolve this is with a complete re-boot of the system - too much like a PC, IMHO.
The G5 will not automatically re-connect nor is it possible to connect manually by typing in the name of the network as well as the password. Again, only a re-boot of the G5 will allow me to re-connect. iBook G4 has never had a problem with this (which is on the same network).
Any ideas?
TIA

Macbook pro no longer automatically connects to network upon waking up

Since yesterday - for no apparent reason, i have to manually choose my network when i open my macbook. This is not a new computer or a new wireless setup. All has been working fine (with occasional hiccups with new hardware here and there, but mostly fine) for YEARS. And of course, as of 2 days ago, no problem. Everything is set to connect automatically and my home network is top of my list of 'preferred' networks. It does seem to be taking a few seconds longer to show up than previously, so maybe that's why it doesn't join without my help?
And if that's the case, what would be making it take longer to appear? Any ideas? Have reset everything. Plugging, unplugging, shutting down, restarting, etc. Did the reset button on the airport extreme itself, too.
I have the extreme, plus 2 expresses to extend my network. (also not a new set-up)
TIA

Try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
Restart or log out then back in.
2. Move System Configuration Files
(Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
Go to /Library/Preferences
Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)

Macbook Pro 5,1 issue with shutting down when lid closed - sleep issue

Here is the issue I hope someone has seen and figured out the cause. This is on a Macbook Pro 5,1 (2.8 Ghz Unibody). This doesn't appear to be the random shutdown issue.
My issue is when on AC power and you close the lid the mac sleeps. The light will blink indicating its sleeping. But at random time frames it shuts down. You open the lid and have to power on from a cold boot. Now if you hit sleep from the apple menu then close the lid everything is fine, it will sleep until the lid is opened. So its only when the lid is closed. And its random, sometimes it will stay in sleep mode for a few minutes or hours. But at some random point it will shutdown.
Any thoughts???
Thanks
jim

Hi and welcome to AD!
Try a SMC reset.

Mid 2009 17" MacBook Pro battery shutdown issue when waking from sleep.

My unibody 17" MacBook Pro occasionally shuts down on waking from sleep when it isn't plugged in.
When I open the lid to wake it I can hear the hard drive and fans starting to spool, and then the next second it's off and silent. The laptop doesn't mind being turned on again after it does this and might go a week without doing it again, equally it might do it next time I try and wake it from sleep. It does this regardless of battery charge level.
coconutBattery says the battery still has 86% of its designed capacity, and I haven't noticed anything else untoward regarding battery charging or performance when in use.
So my question is two fold:
1) Does it sound like the battery's internal processor is malfunctioning, or could it be something else?
2) If it is the battery's internal processor, will replacing the battery replace the processor, or are they fitted separately (in defference to the 'internal' part of its name)?
Cheers,
James
nb. just in case it makes any difference, the laptop is a 17" Mid-2009 MacBook Pro, 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo with 4Gb Ram running OSX 10.7.3

I have had issues when i press the space bar from sleep, sometimes it wakes but others i'm forced to power it on with the power button.
Is this similar to anything you've experianced?
Its so inconsistantly these days, but i'm also connected to an external screen.

MacBook Pro Retina 13" makes a scraping sound when waking up.

MacBook Pro Retina 13" 2,6 Ghz 128 Flash storage started to make a short, mechanical, scraping sound when waking up from sleep. The noise seems to come from the right hand corner next to the trackpad. Did this anybody deal with something like that?

There are no moving parts in your Mac, take it to an Apple Store and ask them.

When waking from sleep can't log back into Airport (TC)

Hi all,
I've been noticing one morning I kept on having to re-join my airport network afer waking my MBPro from sleep. Usually it finds it automatically, but as of late, I manually have to get back in.
Anything happened? Anything I should be doing or didn't do? Besides, it's that time of the month again and I'm currently calibrating my battery, so I'm not connected to juice. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Instead of setting a password for waking from sleep, just enable fast user switching (System Preferences -> Accounts -> Login Options). Then, from the new menu on the right side of the bar (next to the Spotlight menu), choose Login Window before putting your machine to sleep. Yes, I know that this requires that you remember instead of kicking in automatically, but it's better than suffering from this problem.

My mac pro restarts when waking from sleep

Hello everyone pls help me.
I have a annoying problem and that is that my Mac Pro restarts after it has been to sleep.
Last week I updated the system with an update from Apple, safteyupdate 2013-003 version 1.0.
I have swedish OsX 10.6.8.
After this update my mac always restarts after waking from sleep.
So what may have gone wrong?
Pls help me in a simple way, and pls describe in easy steps if I have to do something.

One suggestion is to always have cloned your system ahead of time, that means before making changes or updates, early on when it is fresh and working.
And don't just restart. Use Safe Mode at least, better yet use Recovery Mode if on Lion (which I do recommend) and have a small OS Emergency drive for any maintenance - along with a clone working copy of your system.
Don't just reinstall over your system. Do a fresh install on another drive. Image it and set that for maintenance, then clone that to be a new working base for your system.
Setup Assistant does an amazing job.
Forced restarts can corrupt the filesystem and directory as the changes in memory or cache are not written out and drives are not unmounted properly and will come to bite in the rear.

Mid-2012 macbook pro gets kernel panics when waking from sleep

Hi all,
I got a new mid-2012 Macbook Pro running Lion (10.7.5) at the end of Oct which started kernel panicking pretty much from day one. The kernel panics only occur when the computer is put to sleep and reawaken after more than an hour or so has passed. I get a grey screen that eventually shows text like "Your computer was restarted because of a problem. Please wait a few seconds or press any key to continue" and then the OS boots up again. Bizarrely, this doesn't usually happen if the computer has only been asleep for a short time - i.e. 15 min or less.
Below is the kernel panic log, which seems to suggest there's an issue with the Nvidia GeForce GT 650M graphics card.
Anyone have any idea what the problem is? Advice is much appreciated.

13.3" macbook pro flickering screen when waking from sleep

I have a Mid 2012 13.3" MacBook Pro (non-Retina) laptop that has been working well, until the last few days. The laptop has had no physical damage and no liquid damage. I have put the laptop to sleep by closing the lid. When the laptop lid is raised and the laptop turns on this last week I have noticed that the screen flickers and then appears to be on, but the screen is a grey color. I have been able to press the power button to put the computer back to sleep. Usually when pressing the power button to wake it from sleep the screen issues have cleared up.
Is there a known issue that may cause the issue with the flickering/grey screen or could there be a short in the wiring that powers the screen?

Hey there Oregan Mac User,
It sounds like you are getting screen flickers when trying to wake your device from sleep. I recommend the troubleshooting form the article named:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

MacBook can't see Airport Express when waking from sleep

Hi,
I have an airport express unit specifically for using with air tunes. I am find that every time my macbook wakes from sleep although it reconnects to my wireless network ok it (and therefore itunes) can't see the AX anymore.
Rebooting the AX unit fixes the problem and i can again stream from itunes but i dont want to have to reboot the AX each time beacuse my MacBook goes in and out of sleep 5+ times a day as i move it around the house.
I am not having any issue with audio drop out or stuttering as mentioned by others, nor does the ax stop working once streaming has begun.
My Setup is:
MacBook OSX 10.4.11
Airport Express (latest firmware)
BeBox wireless router (rebranded speedtouch) running WPA2 security
Any suggestions on what i can do to stop this recurring?

I've recently developed a similar problem. When my PowerBook G4 wakes from sleep it can no longer see the Airport Express. It still connects to the Internet, and the AX continues to shine a steady green light. I've written an Automator script that restarts the router, and once it reboots the AX shows up again in iTunes or the AirPort utility.
Customer service for my router claims this is an issue with the AX. Anyone have any ideas?
Computer: PowerBook G4, 10.5.2
Wireless network: TrendNet TEW-432 G router, WPA, DHCP, SSID broadcast off, no MAC filter, Airport Express set up to join network (not extend).
Thanks,
tyler
