WiFi Problems - TC to MP, since recent firmware update

Hello,
i found some threads about other people having trouble here, but nothing seemed to fit my situation.
I have 2 Macs - a Mac Pro (Early 2008) and a MacBook (Late 2008). And a Time Capsule, which i purchased sometime between the Macs. Up to now, everything worked perfect, both machines were connected via WiFi to the TC. But since the recent firmware update, the MacBook works fine with the TC, absolutely no problems, but the Mac Pro (a bit longer distance) doesn't work any longer.
This started on Friday (i don't use the MP daily), it was impossible to get a WiFi connection, tried re-entering connection data and so - no success.
On Saturday, i used the cable to check the TC configuration, everything worked fine, and after fiddling around with the setup, i finally got WiFi working again.
Sunday - MP was off all the day.
Today - Just powered it up, no WiFi. When i disable and re-enable AirPort, it gets a connection for a second or 2, but then drops it. If i get a connection, i have a strong signal (all bars black), so signal quality isn't an issue. And before the update, everything worked fine, the only change is the firmware update last week.
The MacBook doesn't have any issues, no matter, where it is located. I'm currently writing this post on it while syncing some home directory stuff with the MP (MB connected via WiFi, MP connected via cable).
So what is this new problem? After damaging USB to complete unusability, Apple now continues with the WLAN features? What comes next? When will all this be fixed?
Meanwhile, i think it was not the best idea to switch to Apple about a year ago. The continous quality drops get painful meanwhile. I wonder when my iPhone gets unusable (which also works fine with the TC, by the way

Hi again,
okay. It really was the 7.4.1 firmware. This morning, i reverted to 7.3.2, did a full reset, reconfigured everything, and now my network works fine as it did before.
It seems to be important to reconfigure the TC, as just downgrading the firmware didn't really help, while full reconfig with 7.4.1 also doesn't help.
I now turned off the automatic search for new versions on the TC. I will be informed by the AP Express, which has no problems with 7.4.1 yet.
Hope, Apple re-introduces quality control soon and doesn't make the customers be the beta-testers.

Recent firmware update prevents Snow Leopard downgrade?

I need Snow Leopard for my work, and will continue to need it for at least a year. Apple online chat was unable to confirm whether refurbs currently in the pipe would ship with SL or Lion, regardless of age. They basically indicated that my chances were about 50/50.
After reading user accounts of how to downgrade from Lion to Snow Leopard, I went ahead and purchased a refurb February 2011 15" 2.2GHz MacBook Pro from the Apple store. Sure enough, when the machine arrived, it was loaded with Lion.
I ran Software Update to make the OS current, backed it up via Time Machine, and then proceeded with the re-format/SL installation process. However, Snow Leopard would not install using any of the commonly described methods, and the symptoms were consistent with trying to load it onto a post-July 2011 machine.
After a couple of tries, I got a 'phone support agent on the line, who advised that when I ran Software Update, it loaded a recent firmware update that locks the machine down. He was evasive at first, but eventually confirmed that the machine was downgradeable when I received it, but was now effectively a Post-Lion machine, and could no longer be returned to it's as-shipped condition. He indicated that my only option was to return the machine for a refund.
I have a local independent repair facility looking into the situation at the moment, but they are pessimistic.
I was unable to find out when Apple first issued the new firmware load via Software Update, but I understand that people were still successfully downgrading to Snow Leopard as recently as December, 2011.
Assuming that the information I received from Apple is correct, they have closed the door on further Snow Leopard downgrades, at least on the MacBook Pro. Can anyone confirm if this is the case?

Apple is getting a lot of calls from people wanting to downgrade to Snow Leopard for several reasons, like that Lion is terrible and/or they need to run software that hasn't been updated or is avaialble on Lion.
Firmware updates apply to the machine itself, so it if's running Snow Leopard it gets the same firmware updates as a Lion machine.
I'm not ruling out the possibility that a change is preventing you from installing Snow Leopard on a compatible machine, however like to explore the possibility that you've used the wrong disk to do so.
You can't use the 10.6.3 white disk to install Snow Leopard. Early 2011 machines that came with Snow Leopard came with their own disks and hardware drivers that are not present on the 10.6.3 white disks.
Since your Mac is Snow Leopard capable, try calling Apple again and just say you need replacement Snow Leopard disks for your Early 2011 Mac.
If that isn't a option, you migh want to explore the "Procedure" of combining 10.6.3 with the 10.6.8 Combo Update, which when burned to disk, produces a bootable disk to install 10.6
Explore the links and info on this old thread written for the Early 2011-Mid 2011 period
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3264421?start=0&tstart=0
Another option is to get into contact with another Mac user who bought a Early 2011 Snow Leopard Mac of your exact make and model, get a copy of their disk.

Q?... i deleted the most recent firmware update, and now this...

the streaming feature of my quicktime program is non-functional, all i get is the
Q? icon. it seamed to correlate to my trashing the newest firmware update.
any tips on how i can fix the Q?... ?
MacBook 13.3 Black Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Check your streaming options in the QT MIME Settings.
Also, make sure you have the latest versions of Adobe Flash Player Software.
If the above does not work, please advise which browser & version you are using?

I ran the recent firmware update and I can no longer start the computer.

Ran the firmware update 3 hrs ago,Computer never started up and it won't respond to start button.

Your SSD may be part of those affected, however since you cannot power on, this will have to be verified by Apple in shop.
What happens when you try to power on? nothing?
If you cannot get to recovery mode and cannot power on at all, then its time for a service call to Apple for in shop full diagnosis and possible repair.
Contact Apple about running the firmware and the blackout and your Air can be evaluated for possible SSD replacement, IF that is the causation of your blackout.

Recent CS4 updates disabling pdf creation & Acrobat 9 Pro functioning

I own Adobe CS4 Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat, and shared components). My computer (Windows Vista) recently installed the latest updates to the software, and ever since, I have not been able to convert any documents to pdf using Word, Publisher, or any other software. Also, my computer will not let me open Adobe Acrobat (v.9, Pro) at all. The only way I could open pdf's was by opening Adobe Reader and then manually searching for an already-created pdf. In control panel, it would not allow me to uninstall the recent updates.
I have tried deactivating and then uninstalling the entire CS4 suite in order to reinstall and see if that fixes the error, and it successfully uninstalled everything except for Acrobat, and it will not uninstall it.
My computer is periodically hooked up to a network at my office, but the software is stored locally on my drive, not the network...not sure if this is part of the issue...any suggestions? thanks!

I have the same problem of HDD activity after closing any pdf file, whatever the file size.
I'm done with adobe acrobat..
This is not only the problem.. I installed the Acrobat 10 and I found that I cannot modify the toolbar by drag and drop and I cannot add the (properties) bar to the main toolbar (or even the buttons of the properties bar), So the properties bar still floating and when i resize the acrobat window or dock the window to the left or to the righ i have to move the properties bar over the screen...
In Pro9 the properties bar can be a part of the main toolbar, BUT sometimes the properties bar goes disabled and I have to close the Acrobar and reopen it to return the propeties bar enabled again. So, it seems to me adobe acrobat solved the problem in Pro10 by not allowing adding the properties bar to the the main toolbar...
Recently I solved the annoying options dialog box by renaming some plugin files!!
Why the Adobe Acrobat takes 2G of HDD space!!!..
Now I moved to Nitro PDF Professional software and it has all the Acrobat features of editing, viewing, drawing...etc and it takes less than 100M of my HDD...and this what Corel PDF Fusion do as well. The Corel PDF Fusion has the highlight text, editing text and page actions..etc but it doesn't have the drawing feature yet, maybe because it is v1.0 in 2011
tens of new PDF sofware in the market... Wake Up acrobat team...

Recent Iphone Update disables iphone 4

Hello, I have question that concerns me. The recent update for my iphone 4 required me to sync my phone to itunes which totally restored my phone and installed newer software onto my phone extracting the older software. After that I approached my issue with reactivating my iphone 4 because I did not know my iphone could possibly be linked to another account. I have purchased my phone from ebay and have already emailed the company I have bought it from, but I have other concerns of them not responding back or they may have forgotten their account information. Now for my final concern if I do not get the old account erased how will I get my iphone working again ?

Hi Hayward,
There is no way around the Activation Lock. You need to either get the seller to remove the device from Find My iPhone, or return it for a refund. This is what the seller needs to have done in order for you to be able to ever use the device:
Removing Previous Owner from Device
If you have issues with the seller, contact eBay - they have a money-back guarantee for any purchases made through their site.
If you are able to get the device working, and if you made a backup to iCloud or iTunes of your device content, you can do a Restore from Backup:
Restore from Backup
If you don't have a backup, you can re-download any purchases you made from the iTunes Store:
Download past purchases
Best of luck,
GB

Apple TV 3 looses Netflix icon after recent firmware update

I switched on my Apple TV3 last night and was prompted to upgrade to the latest firmware. I accepted. BIG MISTAKE!
After the successful upgrade, I now see only 3 rows of icons and my Netflix and Hulu icons are missing! I'm based out in Singapore but I have a VPN connection to US to allow me to watch Netflix and Hulu.
Any idea how to get this back?
I've tried resetting it and it is not working.

I had the same thing happen,
I have 2 apple id's - one for Australia and one for canada.
After the update the 'location' had changed itself from canada to australia - where netflix is not available, and the netflix icon dissapeared.
to check the location settings go to:
settings >itunes store >Location
change to a country where netflix is accessable - Hopefully your own country!
Hope this helps!

Did You get The Most Recent Firmware Update And Did It Work

Ok There seems to be alot of confusion on hear about the Friday ( 07-08-11) Update that was sent out to fix the Reboot issue with the Phone. Some people like my self have reported that they can not get the Update as there phone is getting an inability to connect to the network error, or the update window simply disappears with out a response (This is what is happening to me).
Many have reported that they got the update it fixed the reboot bug, and that they are seeing improvement in the phones functionality in general. Some people have reported that they have heard that the update is causing more problems. What I have yet to see (And I might have simply missed them) is reports from users that this has actually happened to them. So I started this Thread to see if we can't get a straight answer from the people that are actually using the phone (Because it seems VZW and HTC don't' seem to know or want to tell us right now)
So hear is what Im asking
1) Did you get the Update
2) Did it Fix The Reboot Bug From The Last Update
3) How is the performance of the phone now
4) Has the latest update brought any new problems
Hopefully this clears up any confusion and we can all get a clear idea of weather this update is a worth bothering with.

Not Able To Print w/ Lexmark X2600 After Recent Airport Firmware Update

Hi,
So, after the recent firmware update for the Airport Extreme (802.11n), I can no longer print to my printer share. The device is recognized in Bonjour, and I use the correct driver as I did before, but when I send something to the printer, it just reads:
"Connecting to MyNetwork.local...
There is a problem communicating with the printer. Make sure the printer is powered on and connected to the computer. Delete or hold the job and try again."
Now, if I connect the printer directly to my computer and set it up with the same drivers over USB, it works just fine. Can I get some support on this?

Hi,
Have you tried this?
To change the printer’s network settings:
1. Open the printer's embedded Web server.
2. Click the Networking tab. For wireless settings, click Wireless. For IP settings, click IP
Configuration.
3. Change the printer's settings to match the settings of the network, then click Finish.
4. Close the printer's EWS, then disconnect the Ethernet cable from the printer.
5. The control panel lights will cycle.
The previous procedure is from the Wireless Printer User Guide for your printer.
Best regards,
erico

WAP4410N wireless traffic locks up even when running latest firmware update

I maintain multiple buildings, and each building has anywhere between 1 and 4 Cisco/Linksys WAP4410N access points. The problem is that at random intervals, the access points just stop sending and receiving wireless traffic. Every day or two, I have to log into every single access point (either via HTTPS or SSH) and reboot them in order for them to start working again.
In short, here are the config details:
They are all version 2 hardware (either WAP4410N-A V02 or WAP4410N-E V02).
They are running IPv4 (IPv6 is disabled) and get static IP addresses via DHCP.
When there are WAPs with overlapping signals, each WAP is on a different non-overlapping channel (1, 6, or 11).
Each WAP has two SSIDs (with spaces in their names). One is secured with WPA2. The other is unsecured.
There are two VLANs on the Ethernet interface. Each of the two SSIDs are assigned to a separate VLAN.
There is a DHCP server on the network, so the WAPs do not actually assign IP addresses to clients.
All of the WAPs are running on PoE switches. However, some are gigabit and some are 10/100 switches. Brands vary (Dell and Linksys) and models vary.
Cisco finally recognized this issue as:
CSCtx62203—In certain environments and traffic model, the WAP4410N may lockup after some undetermined time. Workaround: Reboot the device.
As such, the workaround didn’t really offer anything new. Rebooting every WAP ends up being a very time consuming process. It’s awful. And since you have no control over when this issue surfaces and can’t put any safeguards in place, I get calls about it at various points of the day almost every day.
Supposedly the most recent firmware update (2.0.6.1) claimed to fix the issue, but it only seemed to make it worse. So now instead of a WAP locking up every day or two, it locks up anywhere between every 15 minutes to 4 hours when in use.
The firmware was updated and the following issue was fixed in firmware version 2.0.6.1: CSCtx62203—In certain environments and traffic model, the WAP4410N may lockup after some undetermined time. (A protection mechanism was added to guard against sporadic problems with client association that could occur after six to 24 hours.)
As for troubleshooting, there are no error packets. On access points running firmware 2.0.6.1, these messages appear:

These log messages appear on both WAP4410N-A V02 and WAP4410N-E V02 devices.
I noticed that when the “beacon stuck” message appears, wireless traffic locked up 10-15 minutes prior to the message’s appearance in the log, and the SSID drops for 4-6 minutes after the message appears.
Is there anything that can be done to address the issue?

1) LAN port speed doesn't appear to have any effect
2) Forcing a connection type doesn't seem to have any effect. This is also rather impractical.
3) I don't have that option (though there is a TKIP/AES mixed option). Either way, I'd rather not have to resort to using a weaker encryption method.
4) No effect.
I did manage to find some information about the error message (older versions of firmware didn't even offer that clue).
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Advanced_wireless_settings#Beacon_Interval
I ended up increasing the beacon interval from 100ms to 500ms under Wireless > Advanced Settings.
The wifi analyzer app on android seems to keep dropping the SSID when the beacon interval is set that high, so I might have to adjust it to find a good balance.
However, while it was set to 500ms, none of the access points went down for two days.
[edit]: I reduced the beacon interval incrementally down to 300ms. It started locking up at 250ms.

Sleep problems (even after firmware update)

Hello
Previously I was having problems where I would put my Macbook to sleep only to find it an hour later in my bag blazing hot with the fan working overtime.
The recent firmware update seems to have fixed that problem but it's been replaced by another. What happens now is when I get home and retrieve the Macbook from my bag and open the lid the hard disk makes it's familiar waking up sound but the screen doesn't come back on - and I'm not really sure if the computer has woken up or not - sounds like things are happening inside the metal but no beeps or burps when I randomly press keys / try to make things happen.
In the end I'm forced to hold down the start up button and force a shut down.
Anyone else having this? This doesn't seem to happen when I wake from sleep at any other time than when I take the computer from work to home which makes me think it's something to do with maybe my Bluetooth mouse or wireless network?
This is really frustrating and I'm sure forcing a shut down isn't doing my HD any favors.
Can anyone help?
Cheers
Dom

I forgot to mention, DenverEagle, some more details.
My iMac would do the same thing: if it went to sleep, it either just shut down, or restarted, instead. If I turned off sleep, all was OK (for awhile. Eventually it had an episode where I turned it off and it would not start back up. Eventually, it did start back up [after about a day's rest]. That was when I took it in).
So it might be the same problem I had.
The software steps I was told to do, in attempt to resolve it, were:
1) Delete my power settings preferences file, and;
2) Reset the SMU, and;
3) Reset the PRAM/NVRAM.
None helped, but they're easy, so you might try them. I don't think I they have any nasty side effects, but buyer beware.
I'm a little hazy on #1, and I can't find the tip online, but I think it just involved deleting the file:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist

I took my iMac to the Cherry Creek Apple store, and they fixed it really fast (it was 4 days, including a weekend, IIRC).

LaserJet M1217nfw won't do wireless printing from iMac 10.7.5 after HP firmware update

My LaserJet M1217 worked perfectly until I did the recent firmware update. Now it's a brick. I called tech support, was on hold for nearly an hour, got offshore folks who kept me on even longer with marketing hoo-hah, and finally told me that the mfp was no longer under warranty and they wouldn't help unless I paid. I explained that the problem was caused by HP's own firmware update, but no dice. Tried a tweet to HP - also no luck. Tried again, had a nearly two-hour hold, couldn't understand the guy. Wasn't about to pay when the help was incomprehensible. So now I have a brick. And clients waiting. And a grudge.
I tried the fix suggested earlier in the forum - holding down the x and the right arrow while powering up. The printer showed ready...and made copies, but when I tried to print I still got printer errors saying the printer isn't connected to the computer.
So I went to system preferences and deleted the HP M1217, then went online and downloaded the HP driver again. Opened it up, but now during setup it wants the network address or network name for the desired printer. And I have no idea. I tried going on Safari and entering localhost:631/printers, but since the HP still isn't in the system, it doesn't show up. And maybe this wasn't even the right thing to try, but I'm getting no help from HP, and I'm not very technical. Argh.
Any thoughts? Or should I just chuck what was a wonderful device and never buy anything from HP again.
Thank you!!!

Hello SC_W,
The IP address can be fixed by going to Setup > Network Config > TCP/IP Config from the printer front panel.
Then select Manual and set the IP as manual.. I would using an higher value to avoid IP conflicts (e.g. if the current IP is 10.0.0.1, change only the last part to 10.0.0.20 so the address will remain and won't be used by other devices when the printer is powered off.)
Although I personally doubt it will help assigning a fixed IP as Mac OS X uses Bonjour hostname to communicate with the printer (which is fixed) and not athe IP address as Windows uses.
Additionally, as Apple products uses Bonjour, I could see some discussions on this matter for the Home Hub 3.0.
Below is an example:
https://community.bt.com/t5/Other-BB-Queries/HomeHub-3-Apple-Bonjour-not-working-for-AirPlay-AirPrin...
If setting a fixed IP does not help, try the folowing to isolate the problem and ensure if Multicast packets transfer may cause the issue:
From your Mac go to System Preferences > Print & Scan, click the Plus sign and then click the IP tab.
Select the HP Jetdirect Socket protocol and type the IP as the address value.
Add the printer, you will see an additional print queue listed as the IP address.
Keep using this queue for printing and let me know if you may se any difference for this print queue..
Regards,
Shlomi

Why does my retina MBPro and the projector go blank, when connecting with HDMI? This worked fine until the latest OS and firmware update.

Connecting through HDMI worked fine, until the recent firmware update and the 10.7.5 OS update. Now, both retina display and projector dosplay go blank, with the screen coming back when unplugged from the projector.

Clone your system.
Never apply updates w/o one.
And yes there is a page with all the Apple Downloads to do manually and then you can keep it on hand. Same for the OS X Lion or ML installer - save them before running. Still on 10.6.8 so you have OS X 10.6 DVD.
Combo updates do not do any harm. There could be issues to the drive directory beforehand.
Mac Pro has been shipping with Lion since summer 2011, though you can even now still reinstall iwth 10.6.4+

Macbook Pro has short battery life and runs hotter after firmware update

I installed the macbook pro EFI firmware update yesterday and now my MBP runs hotter and the fan starts running earlier than it has ever done before. Also, my battery lasts 51 minutes from a full charge whereas, before the update, it lasted 2 hours (using the same programs and display settings).
Has anybody else seen this problem?
Please tell me I'm not alone with seeing this. I am hoping that there is a solution and it's better than 'buy a new battery'. The fact that my box now runs hotter with the fan on more constantly would not be solved by a new battery I think.

Also had the problem of MBP running much hotter after most recent Firmware update.
My fans have been running at 6k RPM constantly, and processor Temps have been running at 70-88°.
Following the advice in this topic, I checked the Activity Monitor, which told me both my account and my son's account (which was running but had no actual applications running) had separate Airport processes going nuts – each at approx 80-95%!
Switching off airport and logging out of my son's account almost immediately started to cool the processors, and the fans began to slow down. Switching Airport back on doesn't seem to heat things up again, but if I start to crunch numbers, it all happens over again...
So who knows why the firmware update is making these processes freak out.... weird.
