MBP 15" Slow Start Up (Network Settings)

We had an IT guy come into our office and attempt to connect two MBPs to our Windows AD network. No luck. However, since then, my MBP start up time has been excrutiatingly lengthy (only when NOT connected to the office's ethernet cable). I'm talking > 5 minute to start up. By contrast, when plugged into the network, start up time is < 30 seconds (although I still do not have network access). Please HELP! How do I reset all users/network settings to their default?

Hey there. By startup time, do you mean actual BOOT time of the machine, or do you mean user login time?
I would suggest you try starting your machine in either single user mode or safe mode, just to see where it is getting hung up. Starting in single user mode, you will see a verbose dump of the unix boot process, and can determine if it is waiting for some particular resource.
If the problem is happening at LOGIN time for the user, hold down the shift key while logging in to disable any auto-connections to servers or auto-runs of applications. You can then reset the user network connections the usual way, from the Network control panel. You may also want to verify what order it is searching for network connections. Go to the list of possible network devices in the Network Preference pane, drag them into your order of most frequently used to less frequently used.

Slow start up - network.target 1min 30sec delayed

Hope i'm in the right forum.
I've been using Arch for 3 years now and enjoying every second.
recently my start-up time has gone up significantly, mainly the user space:
Startup finished in 3.295s (kernel) + 1min 31.196s (userspace) = 1min 34.491s
there seems to be a long delay between NetworkManager.service loading (@6.954s +3.766s) and network.target loading network.target (1min 30.869s):
# systemd-analyze critical-chain

any idea what can i do to re-sequence the services so the startup does not take so much time?

With systemd you dont need to "re-sequence" anything cause is booting psedo-parallel.
You need to identify the service (or services) that slow you down.
Try adding debug on your kernel parameter boot loader (remove quiet) and see with journactl -b for errors in booting services.

TS1819 Mac OS X 10.7.4. How do I configure my network settings so I don't have to enter the password to my wireless router every time I start up or come back from sleep mode?

When I first got my MacBook Pro my wireless network at home (Linksys Wireless Router) popped right up and I entered the password and had no problems automatically connected after that. I went to a friends house this weekend who also has a wireless router named Linksys, obviously with a different password. Ever since I connected to her network I have to enter my network password at home everytime I start my computer up or wake it up from sleep mode.
My questions is what caused this to happen and how do I reconfigure my network settings so that I don't have to re-enter my password all the time?
Thanks

MBP increasingly slower when not connected to network

When connected to the network at work (either through WiFi or ethernet cable) my macbook pro works OK. However, when I am travelling or take my MBP home performance starts degrading to a point where launching something like Dictionary can take 15-20 seconds.
I get a spinning beach ball when launching or closing applications, as well as when saving files. Typically when disk operations are involved.
Originally, after reading some posts in this forum, I thought that it was a hard drive problem. However, I have used the tools that come with the installation disk and disk warrior showing no problems. In addition, the problem always sort out itself after rebooting while connected to the network at work.
Trying to find the missing network could be a problem, but going through the logs in console I can not find anything like that. The other issue is that performance degradation compounds with time since being connected to work. I can' figure out a reason for this.
Any suggestions pointing to a solution are most welcome.
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9) 2GHz, 1.5GB RAM

After playing for a while with the computer I think that I have at least found where the computer is wasting all this time.
Using Console and checking system.log, I found several instances of "DirectoryService[46]: Active Directory: Could not determine closest Domain Controller from Site information in directory". I did use "sudo killall -USR1 DirectoryService" in Terminal to send debugging information to /Library/Logs/DirectoryService/DirectoryService.debug.log.
Here I can see that every time I have a delay, the computer spends 25 seconds trying to reach a LDAPv3 server at work. So, it seems to be a misconfigured network problem, which I hope to sort out tomorrow.

Thanks so much for more direction.
I realized that I bought this iPod T4 about a year ago, so decided to check the date and it is still under the 1 year ltd. warranty until 21 Dec. I contacted Apple via Chat and was informed that the problem may lie in the version of iTunes I was running 10.7. Today Apple released v. 11 of iTunes which I was instructed to download. It's TOTALLY different from iTunes 10.7 - drastically different in fact.
The Apple Chat Rep set up a phone call appointment forl 8:00 pm ET tonight where another Rep will call me to make sure the restore was accomplished OK. With v. 11 of iTunes I can't even find the restore option!!! The phone Rep will have to help me navigate v. 11 of iTunes. It doesn't seem intuitive at all. Maybe it's just me?!?!
Thank you for sending this new link for firmware. It's not clear to me right now whether I'll need it or not. The phone Rep will probably somehow be able to resolve the problem. If not, they'll probably send me to the nearest Apple store if the problem is hardware, as it would be covered under the warranty. I will give another update as to what transpires as a result of the phone call with the Apple Rep.
Again, thank you so much for helping me.

On start-up, Firefox always tries to connect to proxy even if I set the "network settings" to "no proxy".

On start-up, Firefox always tries to connect to a proxy even if I set the "network settings" to "no proxy". I have to manually go to "network settings" and set it to "no proxy" every time I start Firefox.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

i hv a macbook and hv not been able to figure out whr to enter d gateway pathway in the network settings so as to get my internet started on my machine.. help me..

If you go to System Preferences (under the Apple menu) and select the Network pane, then select the interface you want to use (probably Wi-Fi or AirPort if you are wireless, or Ethernet if not.) If using a static IP address you can set your router address here. If you are using DHCP, it is not needed, since the computer will pick it up automatically.
Best of luck.

My iphone will not connect to my wifi only just started to do this the last 2 days i have tryed resetting network settings sometimes my wifi will turn on other times it will not could u plz help ?

my iphone will not connect to my wifi only just started to do this the last 2 days sometimes the wifi turns on other time no often then not it will not turn on could u help ?

Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the problem is still not resolved, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
Verizon does not provide hardware support, taking the device to them would be a waste of time.

Can I erase all prior network settings and start from scratch?

I have an imac i3- I had transferred everything from my imac core 2 duo onto (including settings) whenever I got a new computer i transferred everything including settings.
I have been having problems with internet access- pages stall, it will often take a few minutes for a page to fully load, if I open a second window- both windows stall. This occurs with safari or firefox.
I have time warner wideband.
Time warner has been out twice, changed modems- checked all lines- they even connect their laptop (windows) and the pages load very fast, multiple windows- no problems- the internet is actually faster on my ipad connected wirelessly.
After going to the genius bar- they did a hardware test- everything is ok, they went in and found many settings imported from as far back as 2003. they deleted the old "locations" settings in the network preferences and this improved things right away at the store- they recommended a full system restore without restoring the system settings if the problem wasn't completely fixed.
The question I have- is there a way to do this without backing everything up, re-installing osx and then recovering my backed up files? can I delete all the network settings alone somehow?
Thanks

Hi
Are you looking in the /Users/Home/Library/Preferences folder by any chance? The home folder is the one with the house icon. If you are then you're looking in the wrong folder. Double-click your hard drive icon and you should see a list of folders. If you view by list or column you should see the top level Library folder below the Applications folder. This is where you should be looking.

HT4972 i cannot update the ios it starts then it says software server could not be contacted make sure network settings are correct

i cannot seem to upgrade the ipad to ios 5 i keep getting a message after about 15 minutes that says ipad server software could not be contacted make sure your network settings are correct. and network is active or try again later

My 3G service provider told me to power off by holding the top black button down for 5 seconds until you get until you get the red arrow asking you to slide to power off. Leave off for a minute or so and then use the same button to turn back on and it will show a little apple in the middle of the screen. This should reboot your server information and you will not get the error message.

Problem connecting MBP to established Linksys wireless network (Part 2)

Thanks to all who followed part 1 thread. I have been trying to wirelessly connect my new MBP 2.16 to my established linksys BEFWS11S4 network. I gave up on 128 encryption for now, MBP couldn't take it.
by playing with the setting and manual config I can get the MBP to connect to the linksys network, (I even see the mac on my Win XP's DHCP master table). In the network utilities I get a green status light. when i run diagnostics i get a green airport, airport settings, network settings and ISP. STill red are "internet" and "server". no conncetion with safari...
I know the MBP works becuase i was able to connect to my neigbors wireless network and will work when I hard wire it through built-in ethernet.
Anyone know why the airport wouldn't work here? any thoughts appreciated I have spent way to many hours on this......

OK so your router is issuing IP addresses. However, I would say there is definately something wrong with your router's config. Maybe your DHCP server on your router is switched off? Anyway by adding your own IP address that is half the battle, as you need more than an IP address to connect to the internet, that's why you can see it in the list but cannot connect to the net. When a computer is set to DHCP it sends out a message to any DHCP servers requesting an IP address, if it gets no response in a set time, it issues itself an address, like yours is doing, the address will probably look like this: 169.254.14.192, it's called an APIPA address (Automatic Private IP Addressing)
You see a router uses a NAT (network address translation) so that from the internet all the machines connected to your router would show the same IP address which would be the one supplied by your ISP. For this to work, each machine on your network needs to have a default gateway, which is the IP address that your outbound traffic goes to. If your router is not issuing an IP address then it's probable that it's not issuing this data also, so you can add it yourself.
On your windows machine, go to a command prompt Start>Run type cmd and press enter, then type ipconfig /all press enter, it will show you the IP address of your PC, your subnet mask and your default gateway. I am going to assume that your IP address is in the 192 range as most Linksys are. So let's say your IP address of your router is 192.168.1.1 (on the new ones they tend to go with 192.168.1.15) so whichever yours is, that is your default gateway, as that's the address of your router. So your PC may have 192.168.1.100 as it's IP address.
On your Mac go to the System preferences>Network and the TCP/IP tab and select manual setup in Airport. Type in an IP address like 192.168.1.101 (or one up from your PCs IP address, then type in the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 if that is the same as your PC and then where it says Router (this is the default gateway address on a Mac), type in the default gateway here. Select apply and that should now connect to the internet.
I would only use this until you can resolve your Router's issue. Maybe you can call them back and tell them your router is not issing IP addresses. Or get a friend to try his laptop and see if he gets one. If not then you know it's your router. I would bet money that it's your router, that's why you can connect to your neighbours but not yours. Also remember if you keep the manual setup if you go travelling, remember to change it back to DHCP or you wont be able to pick up any hotspots. You can save a TCP/IP setup on a Mac so you could save the setup and name it and when you go travelling change to default, or auto.
Let me know how you get on.

Firefox 4.0 slow start & stop

Firefox 4.0 slow starting up!
Firefox is very slow shutting down.

In Firefox 4.0 you can configure the loopback address by checkmarking "Use system proxy settings" which is actually the default, in Tools | Options | Advanced | Network (tab), then click the Settings button.
I don't know of a firewall which doesn't allow you to configure it in different ways though. Which one is it if you don't mind me asking?
