Maverick and wifi issues

Is anyone aware of any particular or specific issues with Maverick and losing connection intermittently with access points / wifi? See link
http://howtoapple.com/mavericks-wifi-issues-fix/
We are experiencing this to some degree with our MACs primarily on Maverick.

Hello RT91,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with connecting to your home network using an Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi on your MacBook Pro. I would be concerned about this too. I found a couple of articles I recommend for this issue.
First, I recommend reviewing this article:
Mac OS X: Troubleshooting a cable modem, DSL, or LAN Internet connection
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1317
This second article has some additional steps specific to troubleshooting Wi-Fi connections. I recommend the full article, but the section titled "Symptom: My Mac does not connect to the Internet" stands out to me for the issue you described:
Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Community.
Best,

Airport 802.11g and WIFI issues with Apple bluetooth keyboard

Hey guys, this thing start to drive me crazy, I bought a Apple BT keyboard but just recently I started to having problems with my wifi connection and apparently I think this is due to the BT keys.
I started to notice this issue when I moving with the laptop in another room where usually I had maximum Airport signal, now it's happening that the signal start to lose power and when is just to the minimum, internet or other net staff don't work anymore and after 5 minutes of this apparently "freeze" wifi status, the airport loose definitely the signal.
After that I need to turn off the Airport card, most of the time work but sometimes i need to turn off two times to get it works.
After I read different blogs and forum, I tried to change channel, use the interference robustness, anything, and at the ending I reinstalled Leo, still have this problem, so I started to turn off the bluetooth connection and it look's like when the signal start to lose power the network keep working, and than reprise the maximum power.
So I can really fix this issue or is another "well done" by Apple? It look's like the Apple industry getting so close to the trash world! I'm sorry for these last words but my disappointed in Apple getting bigger.
Thank you for anyone helps.
P.S. a friend of mine with a Macbook Pro, Snow Leopard and my same Airport Base station have the same issue.

GuyI just fixed for now the problem turning off the bluetooth keyboard when I have wifi issues, it's the only solutions!

Yosemite and Wifi issues

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012) 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 251GB Flash storage; Apple Thunderbolt display, apple BT keyboard and trackpad. OS 10.10
Upgraded to Yosemite beta; wifi was fine; installed latest update and wifi became useless. Tried all fixes on thread; finally gave up. unplugged my laptop from the Thunderbolt display and am using as laptop without bluetooth mouse and keyboard. Wifi works only when using built in key board and mouse. Probably a Bluetooth issue. Very very frustrating as cannot use display without track pad and bluetooth trackpad effectively.

I installed the Beta and after several days, the problem seems to have gone away. I use bluetooth keyboard, but hooked up old corded mouse, so only one BT device (don't have an old corded keyboard)
Steve Jobs, please come back from the dead and get Apple back to quality control, "It just works" died with you.

Ipad 2 and wifi issues

Hi,
I'm a newbie in this apple forum. I had Ipad 2 since spring of 2011 and it worked great until I updated to os 5.1.1. My wifi reception was horrible after the upgrade, to a point that I could not connect at all to free wifi at public areas such as libraries, starbucks, etc. I tried to hard reset, turn off blue tooth, turn off auto brightness, reset the network setting to no avail. It was not the router (FioS) since my Ipad 3 and other devices were working fine.
I finally brought it to apple store to be checked out. He did see that my wifi was poor, even inside the apple store. It went intermittenly from 2 bars to 1 bar to no connection in minutes while my Ipad 3 was steady at 3 bars for the whole time we were in the store. He thought that maybe something went wrong during the os upgrade and suggested to factory reset and reinstall the os at the store. After the reinstall nothing was changed. The wifi reception was still poor and he did not know what else to do. He was sure that it's not the software and perhaps the problem was due to hardware issue. The problem is Apple can't fix any thing hardware related after the warranty expires. I can't send it for repair and the only thing Apple can do is to take my old one, fix it, sell it as a refurb and allow me to buy a new ipad 2 for $250. Apple might call that process a value chain efficiency, but as a consumer, I call it a ripoff!!!
To top it off, I can't sync my wife's yahoo calendars and remaindes at home. So frustrating.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

10.10.2 and wifi issues

I have held off updating one of my Macs to Yosemite because of the wifi issues. Anyone upgrade to 10.10.2 who had issues and found update resolved them. Apple said 10.10.1 would but we know it did not. So want to know real world results for this one before I update.

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Iphone 6 LTE AND WIFI ISSUE

me and my friend both using iphone 6 but his LTE AND WIFI works smoothly But mine doesn work that well! watching the same video using LTE he can watch but i cant even load the video! WHY? any help?
AT first i was on iso 8 LTE AND WIFI really *** , so i upgraded it to ios 8.0.2 but still the same, and my friend's iphone6 stays in 8 but works fine !
i have reset the network it doesn fix the problem either.

I have this exact same issue with the iPhone 6 Plus. After numerous calls to AppleCare several resets and restore restores from backup, restore as new, and visits to the Genius Bar at the Apple store, Apple dose not appear to have an answer yet. This is happening on all Wi-Fi networks home, Xfinity, Apple Store, and Starbucks. It does not appear to be related to the Wi-Fi network in use. I have been asked to give it a week and see if it gets better but somehow I do not think this is going to work. The Apple Store has even replace my phone and I still experience the same issues.
What am I missing?

Ideapad Yoga 13 bluetooth and wifi issue

My IdeaPad Yoga 13 has a problem with playing music via bluetooth A2DP profile. Audio plays well and without hiccups when I'm not downloading anything from the internet with high speeds but if I download something music playback starts to crackle and break. That is very annoying and I'm wondering why high wifi bandwidth would cause this kind of problem for bluetooth. If I've understood right, bluetooth and wifi modules reside on the same wireless card on Yoga but still, shouldn't they be separate in a way that they wouldn't be able to affect each other's performance? I'm using Nokia MD-310 Wireless Receiver with my Yoga.
My second problem is about the same wireless card, too. My wifi works otherwise well and I haven't had any speed problems with it (unlike many others on this forum) but after a few weeks of using my Yoga it started to have problems with reconnecting to my wifi after waking up from sleep. It doesn't find any wifis unless I run the wireless troubleshoot which resets the wireless card.
I've tried reinstalling the driver and setting windows 8 power management settings to maximum performance but nothing seems to solve these two problems.
Does anyone have solution for these?

I forgot to mention I used a fresh pair of batteries for the mouse (rules out simple solutions).

10.6.5 and wifi issues

Since I upgraded to 10.6.5, my MacBook Pro (Early 2006) cannot connect to my USR9110 (802.11 g) access point.
From 10.6 on, there's been always troubles when resuming after sleep, but now even at startup the connection goes timeout.
All other devices (an iPhone,an iPad and a MacBook Pro (Late 2006) with 10.5) work perfectly.
I tried rebooting, changing the wifi channel, updating the access point firmware, turning on and off airport, resetting the SMC, switching to WEP, switching to WPA, switching to unencrypted. Nothing changes, connection timeout.

Having the same problems here. Airport drops connection randomly. Tried reconfiguring connection settings, re-adding airport to network settings, resetting SMC, rebooting cable modem and wifi router, changing airport connection channel, security settings, network name, rebooting mac several times. Have tried two different routers. Router A: 1st gen Time Capsule 500gb (20ft away), started with a spotty connection almost immediately after updating to 10.6.5, and now when attempting to connect with TC network name will not even show under airport. Like it's gotten worse. Router B: super old Dlink (5 ft away), freshly reset, was spotty earlier today, and now seems to have held a connection for a record 22 minutes.
So, I am really confused. Anyone having these problems try something I haven't? Please post. Iv'e run out of ideas aside from tethering my iphone or saying goodbye to my TC and security encryptions.

Email and WiFi issues

Hello, hoping someone can give me a hand with a couple issues with the Z10 I'm having.
First thing, when an email is sent from the Z10 it is getting time stamped 6 hours ahead of time(I am CST -6 timezone), I did read about this problem on the crackberry forums so sounds like it's already been brought up to blackberry's attention.
Another problem with email that I've noticed is I added my work email to the device, then I deleted it and added a different work email account from the same domain. I am now receiving emails from both accounts still even though the first one was deleted, those emails are still showing up in the hub even after restarting the device.
And there seems to be an issue with the WiFi when I am connected to the WiFi I can't go online with the phone. Even if there is a problem connecting to the internet through the WiFi, shouldn't the device be able to just automatically start using the service providers network instead of giving the user an error?
So if anyone has any ideas of what I can do about the emails or WiFi, let me know and I'll give it a try and post my results.
Thank you,
Kevin.

Hey Kevin,
Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
To better assist you with these issues I have a few questions:
What type of email account do you have set up on your BlackBerry with the time stamp issue?
When you go into the hub do you still see the email address listed for the email account you deleted from your accounts?
Do you use BlackBerry Enterprise service?
In regards to your Wi-Fi issue, try checking the Wi-Fi Diagnostic Information:
1. Go to Setting
2. Select Network Connections
3. Select Wi-Fi
4. Select Advanced
Thanks.

Mavericks and Airplay issues

I just installed new updates for Mavericks, not the OS itself, just the automatic updates. Now my airplay won't mirror from my computer. It will not allow me to change from "extend desktop" to "mirror". I am getting sound on my TV from whatever I am playing on the computer, but no image. The airplay still works from my ipad just fine. Contacted apple and they believe it's wifi interference, tried changng the settings on my router, but it didn't do anything.
HELP!!!

<MapleSeeds> it is all about the opdate.
I also hoped 'Frank Pedersen - Senior Advisor Apple Care' would mail me back the day after we spoke, but no.
Someone also tried blame something in the network, that was NOT opdated or changed.
I has not tuch my Apple TV, but I also spoke to someone that tried tell me to damage all my setup on it.
My iPAD beem well
My iPhone 5s beem well
Yes, my old iPhone 4 been well
And all disconnect well if I just take an other device
I could say this twice 'it is all about the new thing, it is the new OSX 10,92 opdate'.

Rogers Modem and Wifi Issues

I am currently running 6.1.2. I have tried everything and I am still having issues with my iPhone 5 connecting to my home wifi. It will connect for a while and then disconnect. It must be a software issue as all my other wifi devices have full signal and never get kicked of my wifi. I have tried everything. I am certain that it isn't my router and is not a hardware issue due to the fact that my phone never kicks me off other wireless networks. Any ideas what to do? I have reset everything including the iPhone and router! I have full signal when I am close to the Hiltron Modem, soon as I move away the signal gets weaker. I am on my second iPhone 5 and I am having the same issue. My wifes 4s is geat and she has full signal throughout the house. Any ideas?

I am certain that it isn't my router and is not a hardware issue due to the fact that my phone never kicks me off other wireless networks.
If you don't have this problem with any other wi-fi network your iPhone connects with, more than likely the problem isn't with your iPhone. If with your iPhone, you would have the same problem with every wi-fi network your iPhone connects with.

Flex 14, Bluetooth and Wifi Issues

I bought a Flex 14 from the Lenovo store website a month ago, and I seem to be having problems with my wireless adapter. I can't remember if it is because of the update to 8.1 since I updated my laptop to 8.1 on the day that I received my laptop. No matter how far away I am to the router, my wifi would disconnect. It would disconnect for around 30-60 seconds and happens very often, which is kind of annoying. Other laptops in my house don't experience this kind of issue, so it can't be my wireless router or internet service provider. Bluetooth seems to have issues as well. I bought a bluetooth mouse for my laptop around 2 weeks ago and it disconnects just like my wifi. I've tested the mouse with my phone for a full hour and I did not encounter any problems, so I concluded that it must be my wireless adapter that has a problem.
I've tried updating all the drivers from Lenovo support page, but that didn't fix it. So, I tried getting the drivers from Intel, since my adapter is the Intel Wireless-N 7260. That also did not work.
Any ideas? I would really appreciate any sort of help right now.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I bought Lenovo Flex 14 last month and from day 1 it is showing issues with its wifi. It gets disconnected from my network automatically and sometimes it does not detect even a single network. While at the same time my other devices connected to the same network functions well.
I called customer support and they tried to fix the problem by changing performance and roaming related solutions as has also been pointed out in the earlier replies. Even in spite of all these efforts nothing has worked till date. I either have to restart or have to put my laptop in airplane mode for few seconds and than try to connect (A trick which works for me at times !! )
Is there any solution which anyone can suggest ? Is this a hardware problem or a software problem ? Please help !!

4.2.1 and wifi issues

After installing this update my iphone will not connect to wifi. It has to be right next to the router or it will not see it. Even then it still loses it's connection. My other iphone in the house has not recieved this update and still works fine. Along with all of the other wireless equipment I have. My iphone won't connect to any other wifi networks either now. It is all since I applied this update. Is this a known issue with this update and does any one know if it will be fixed.

It is not a known problem, as I don't have it. A few people have reported it, but not enough to make it a general problem with the release. And indeed, it is one of several problems that have been reported after every update. There are some simple diagnostic steps you can take to try to fix it:
1. Go to Settings/General/Reset, Reset Network Settings. Then reboot (hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple log appears).
2. If it sees the network but doesn't connect, go to Settings/WiFi, tap on the ">" to the right of the network name and tap Forget This Network. Then exit settings, go back into Settings/WiFi and connect again.
3. Reboot your router. Turn it off for about 15 seconds, then turn it back on.
4. See this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559

OSX Mavericks and Safari Issues

Just a few notes on my rather unpleasant experience upgrading to Mavericks. Normally I don't upgrade immediately but had some time on my hands.
I upgraded a 15" MB Pro that I use for a spare out of office computer. The system came with 10.8 installed and I had very few applications or data on the machine. Immediately after upgrading to 10.9 Safari opened, but would not load any page I typed into the address bar. It would load a page I clicked from bookmarks, but anything I typed did nothing. Then, it mysteriousy worked, then the SGOD took over. After I was able to reset Safari it repeated the same behavior.
Against my better judgement I decided to upgrade Safari on my Mac Pro to see if I could replicate the issue. On neither system do I run anything other than a flash plug in. No extensions, no fluff. The Sr. Advisor verified all plugins were removed from the respective libraries and the MB Pro would still work intermittently, the Mac Pro would freeze the instant I opened Safari. Thank goodness for Time Machine! After demonstrating worse performance on 10.8 I rolled back the upgrade to my most recent backup just a few hours earlier.
I created a brand new user account on the MB Pro to see if it would behave normally. Initially it seemed fine, but then it started to behave erratically again. After fiddling more over the evening I decided it wasn't worth the effort. I copied the minimal data I wanted to save from the MB Pro and booted to Recovery, erased the primary partition and installed a clean version of Mavericks. Everything seems to be working fine now. One major benefit however, is that after I reinstalled my iLife '11 and iWork '09 from DVD (yes, some people still have them) I ran Software Update and every one of those apps was upgraded to the current versions! So Microsoft can take their $200 O/S's and $300 Office Suites and shove them in a very dark, smelly place!
If anyone's had similar issues please feel to add to the thread!

Bless you, Steve.Knepp. Mazybe you wonder, "Why, BobNovy? Because ...
In the past, I feel Hot to-Trot about Upgrades, no-matter the cost. [I know that Mavericks itself is free, but I feel Suspicious about that, too. :-( ]
After reading the discussions here about Mavericks, I feel like Waiting Awhile.
