MBP wireless time out on downgraded TC

Basically, both unibody MBP and TC were upgraded and caused a lot of problems so I decided to downgrade TC's firmware back to 7.3.2. Now the problem is MBP's having a hard time picking up TC's wireless signal (once every 3 or 4 tries). When it does, it won't let me log into its network as it keeps showing "connection time out." No way to do a wireless back up in such mess. I also tried wired TC and direct internet connection to MBP and both worked. Unfortunately, hard/soft resets don't change a thing. TC's 802.11n, b/g friendly wireless network can be picked up by XBOX 360 and 1st gen iPhone without any connection drop.
Not sure if anyone has a solution for this but any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

k time for some update. I've been using wired Internet from downgraded TC for about 10 days and for some reason it fixed itself back to normal. Now I'm able to go wireless without signal drops and to back up time capsule through the wireless network. I guess the solution for now is to downgrade TC to 7.3.2 and wait for a few days. This works for my case.

Both ethernet and wireless time-out trying to connect

I'm having a problem with getting my laptops' IP assigned by dhcp. Both over ethernet and wireless.
I have no problem connecting to my WPA connection at home, but now I'm at my parents for a week or two, it refuses to connect to their WEP network.
To connect to my WPA network I run this script from rc.local, which works fine on startup.
ifconfig ra0 up
iwconfig ra0 essid *********
iwconfig ra0 ap **:**:**:**:**:**
iwconfig ra0 rate auto
iwconfig ra0 channel auto
iwconfig ra0 mode Managed
iwconfig ra0 txpower auto
iwpriv ra0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK
iwpriv ra0 set EncrypType=AES
iwpriv ra0 set WPAPSK=***************************************
iwpriv ra0 set TxRate=0
dhcpcd ra0
So for the WEP network, I have commented all that out and changed rc.conf like so:
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
ra0="dhcp"
wlan_ra0="ra0 essid ***** key *******************"
WLAN_INTERFACES=(ra0)
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 ra0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
But when I try to connect it just returns "Error, ra0: timed out".
I have also tried modifying rc.local (appropriately i think), but that seems to time-out too.
This wouldn't be so bad if I had the option to connect by ethernet, but that doesnt work either! It also times out, just like the wireless. I don't think it is the router, as all the other computers in the house work fine, both wired and wireless. But I don't think it's a driver issue either, as I can see all the AP's in kismet, and also I used the ethernet port when I first installed Arch a couple of months ago. I assume it's dodgy config files or clashing commands or something, but I've looked in the wiki and other forums etc, and I can't see what I'm doing wrong.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thank you.
Paul

Make sure about the addresses for the LAN the router at your parents is using - they are not necessarily the same.

Can't login to wireless network. Deleted network but still time-out trying to login without asking for new password

Well I am downgrading (if you can call it that). Leopard and Snow leopard are just superior OS's for power users. All the fancy stuff put in Lion actually slowed it down considerably among all the other bugs..... but anyway
I changed my network password today. My mbp on lion cannot access the network. I deleted the saved names in network preferences, I rebooted my modem an router, even cleared the DNS cache in Terminal. It still tries to connect to the network and times out... without asking me for the new WEP password I have put on the network.
My other laptop on snow leapord does what it is supposed to. Deleted the network name in network preferences, clicked on network name to get online, and then it requested the password name. Why doesn't Lion do this??
Like I said before I did all the above. I don't know what else to do. I also manually deleted the keychain passwords. Still no luck. I guess I have to rename my network lol.

Access the router's admin area and put in a new password.

Sporadic issues with wireless connection (dhcpcd times out)

I'm using a wireless usb adaptor Dlink DWA 110 (chipset rt73). It can connect fine some times, but many times it times out on dhcpcd. Raising the time out time causes it to hold indefinitely on the message "offered 192.168.0.132 from 192.168.0.1". Analyzing the dmesg, I see

I've tried googling, but no suggestion seems to work. Any help?

This is basically a workaround, but still. You can try hold_connect script to automatically watch connection status. It can be found here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=103139. Just add "iwconfig wlan0 power off" string in function connect under "sudo netcfg down ..." line.

HT4356 What printers beside HP will work continuously with an i-pad? I tried Canon and Epson and both time-out after a short time, requiring the user to re-initialize. This defeats the idea of a wireless printer, Thanks Art

What printers besides Hp will work continuously with an i-pad? I tried Canon and Epson and both time-out after a short period of time rerquiring the user to re-initialize, which defeats the purpose of wireless printing. Please help, Apple can not. Thanks to all. Art

Canon support told me that the I-pad printer driver would not work with any printer, including HP. They offered to fix the problem for $50. I turned them down.
If they really could fix the problem, they must be saying to update the printers firmware. Look on the cannon website & update the priners firmware. While you at it, update the routers firmware.
What printer do you have?

WPS time out when installing B209a for wireless connection to Macbook Pro

I'm not good with computers and I'm new to the MAC computer system but I believe I was following the instructions correctly until I received the error message "WPS time out".

Just in case you will need this info:
My wireless network is Verizon Fios. The router model is MI424WR.

Speedport time out fail wireless

I am connected to ethernet port, no problem.
AirPort fails to connect. Now Windows with two local machines connect ok. My previous Dell connected.
My AirPort works at home, a Bell Modem.
SpeedPort W 700 V seems to have some issues for Win.
The SpeedPort does not reply giving time out same as incorrect password.
I tried a manual connect with full name from my AirPort detection script.
Also problem with iTouch, but it failed to reconnect at home after upgrade to new software.

SpeedPort W 700 V is both wireless and wired. I am connected to wired now.
When disconnected, the wireless shows on AirPort and asks for password. Entering password gives a time out. I tried a manual connection with network name WLAN-4A7D03 selected security type and entered password. Again a time out. The SpeedPort fails to handshake on receiving the password. That is, I do not think the password accepted reply is connecting. My AirPort works on other wireless connection in Canada. I am in Germany and the SpeedPort modem is a few years old, but I had no trouble with my new Dell windows Vista last year.
This could be a SpeedPort issue. I know the SpeedPort wireless is working because two Windows computers are connected to the wireless. I did find reports of some Windows machines having difficulty connecting to SpeedPort but no comment on Apple problems.
By the way thank you for answering. I will be traveling in Italy where most hotels only have wireless connections. So I am trying to isolate problem to SpeedPort. If it is my use of AirPort then I have a problem. If necessary I could buy a USB port wireless.
I do know update of my iTouch has crashed its wireless connection. I tried reset to orignial but it then automatically upgrades and I am back where I started.
These are my first Apple products so I may be missing something. The more I use the Apple Interface the more I like it.

E51 Wireless Lan - Net Connection Time Out

Hi all,
I cant get my E51 to open websites. It connects to my wireless LAN fine, but I get the message Net Connection Time Out when I try to browse to any website. Before the message comes up, it takes a minute or so of blank screen before the error message appears.
I have a netgear router and I use WEP. The key is entered correctly.
Has anyone come across this before?

this probably is a case of a bug in ur device so what u can try are: plz make a back up
take out your sim card and put in *#7780# to restore factory settings. you should not lose any data, but all settings will go into default. try that first.
the second option is a reset *#7370# this one will erase all of your data, 'wipe the phone clean' and restore to factory settings. see if any of these options work and if you are able to use your phone as you like/need to.
the third option U can go in for a hard reset which will turn ur device as it left the factory totally new
U can also update/reinstall ur firmware and see the result...
Also use ur device without the memory card and see
in case of ur memory card there are different options available to you to get rid of the corrupt/unwanted data in your card.
menu--tools--memory---options---format memory card......
remember everything including ur factory installed apps will be deleted......... but u can always download them later either from nokia or google them...
or insert ur card in any reader or laptop and check for virus and also the hidden folders.......

MBP 13" model 7,1 date/time out of synch

What is the cause of MBP 13" model 7,1 date/time out of synch message on start up. The main battery is flat so I use mains adaptor always.
Is the a mini battery on motherboard for PROM that causes this?
If so, where can I get a replacement?
Thanks.

I've had that problem before. It's more of a software issue.
I recommend you upgrade to the latest operating system OS X Mavericks for free.

New MBP - wireless/internet access networking problem - a summary!

Greetings!
New MBP here, with all the trimmings (MacOS X 10.4.10 - Safari 3 Beta). New also to the Apple/MAC world
MBP >> wireless networking into a Linksys WRT54G router and >> thru HughesNet DW7000 Satellite Internet connection (not the fastest, but hey, the US and especially rural areas are NOT S. Korea when it comes to speedy internet connections!
Frankly, I bought into it for two reasons: First, hearing about the vaunted Mac a/v/ and doc/photo editing capabilities,... and about MacOS stability, etc... Well, it all needs a little work still: on the part of new users like me, but also probably on the part of the Apple/Mac people as well. 2nd reason I decided to purchase the MBP - i.e. ability to run Windows (I have not yet tried BootCanp, etc...: still resolving preliminary issues!). I still live in a heavy Win environment at my business - no other way of course!
Communications issues seem to still prevail: I am hanging out at several VERY HELPFUL forums (AppleDiscussionForum, MacRumorsForums, etc...) and the same issues keep popping up. Im my case, same as all above reported, with a few additional points, as follows:
1. Xmission errors: seem to be - at least in my case - a constant factor, regardless on how close/far i am from my wireless router. For example, I would be attempting to dwnload an upgrade (large)QT or MacOS file. i am barely into the dowmoad, and I already have several Read/Send errors. By the end of the download, I will have probably about 15 Rcv and 5 Send errors. Never gets quite that bad in my Win machines, I must mention. Anything to do here (I know, there are such things always affecting wireless com). AND, MOST importantly, how that this affect the effectiveness of the upgrade (I spotted same thing with MacOS 10.4.10 and Safari Beta 3 upgrade downloads!). Would it be likely that applying upgrades in such circumstances would screw up the OS??? Could OTOH such errors be automatically "compensated" by re-xmits from the source, and eventually the download would be OK? Because quite frankly, I do NOT know if my important upgrade download was OK to apply to the system, given those errors!!!
Also same thing with PING errors. Quite frequent when pinging another device on my network.
2. Quite often, accessing a site will proceed somehow OK, and then things will get stuck twd the end, as if some buffer somewhere gets overloaded??? Of course, as elsewhere reported, same can often happen with com getting stuck right over the "www" part of the URL!
3. AND, of course, the often reported "NO connection to the Internet", but computer shows good signal level and connection otherwise.
4. Strangely enough, seems that the Airport Extreme wifi card sort of "warms up the the internet" as one proceeds to start using it. It eventually picks up on a network, and often "improves" its connection over time!
5. Built in Airport Extreme seems to not exhibit up all immediately surrounding networks. Sensitivity issue?? iStumbler does.
6. iStumbler permanently posts noise level of 9% regardless of how close to my wireless router/broadband modem I am. Anyone uses iStumbler to monitor network traffic?
This is getting longuish: I just want to get over all those p*ant issues and get into putting my a/v stuff together!!
- Roger T
Thanks for just reading all this!. I am not sure it is all fixable (back to the Win "features" terminology, really meaning "bugs"??)

Thanks, BDaqua. This support forum is quite well stocked: I have been perusing all its nooks and cranies!
On the www.dslreports.com - All things Mac - forum, I spotted a couple of mentions of the following type of infromation:
link: »www.hardmac.com/news/2007-07-27/#7039
- The first TechNote provides information concerning the Airport problem affecting the MBP Santa Rosa (but also other Mac Intel). When used on battery, the wireless connection drops and one can even experience kernel panic. Apple Centers are asked not to exchange affected notebook as this is due to a unidentified bug in the Atheros driver, and should be fixed in the future with a simple Airport system update. So for the moment, unfortunate users are asked to directly power their notebook when using wireless network, or using Ethernet connection when running on battery... in other words, turn your notebook into a desktop
to forum · permalink
I am wondering if you and folks on this close-to-Apple forum know anything about this. At least, we could just await remedy instead of messing around endlessly looking for solutions and... pondering as to whether it was a wise thing to purchase an expensive machine which happens to have trouble communicating online. After all, seems that the Mac folks are prone to spend MORE time online uploading/downloading music and videos instead of my being normally doing with the rest of my (Win) computers, i.e. work on customer lists, correspondence, inventories, accounting, data bases, etc....
So, seems to me we do have a pb and Apple might just save a few $$$ on silly ads and get to work on com instead. if nothing else to avoid the appearance of further - admittedly rather funny - ad-spoofs!
So back to your further inquiry. I run a wireless network from a HughesNet satellite modem, thru a Linksys WRT54GL wireless router, into some nearby office LANed desktops and point of sale equipment, to another neighbouring facility via wireless bridge, and to my Mac laptop. Distance from the laptop to the router: 50 ft max.
It all works surprizingly very well: up to 200kbps up and 1000 kbps down (in prime time, 150 up and 600 down). OK, my set up looks complex and incurring LOTS of activity. Actually, online activity is quite minimal and well scheduled - right now I am the only machine on the network online. Otherwise, our office processes online money wiring for customers among other things.
I'll try your DNS server choice on the Mac settings first. Will report accordingly.
Thanks for everything!

New MBP wireless problems

Hi all, im sure you are all sick of reading the same problems time after time. Anyway, mine is as follows..
Got my new Mac around 1 month ago, love it. My old 17 mbp always sat at my desk and i usually run a wired connection to the internet. Now after i bought my new 15 mbp i bought a time capsule, great i thouht. Spent 4 days trying to set it up to no joy. It was being seen by 3 windows laptops, 2 iphones and 1 touch, but when i tried connecting via my mbp it kept saying connection time out. I tried it without a password and it would show i was connected with an "all black airport icon" but still would not go online.
Hence i brought it back and continued to use it wired to the internet from Netgear router. Now my girlfriend bought me an Airport Express. Brillant i thought, maybe this will work. Set it up to create a new wireless network from my router (im in a different building 40ft away) so i could turn my music studio wireless, have airtunes etc.
But of course NO! My iphone can see it and use the wireless network, but not my £1800 mbp! Sometimes it scans and does not even see the network. And if it does, it tries to connect and fails.
My brother who is a wiz at these things tried for 2 hours yesterday.His Sony pc connected ok, my iphone and again ipod touch, but still no from the MBP.
So i brought it into the house where the Netgear router is running and my MBP can connect no problems.
Is there something im missing?? Why can i not have the simpliest of things in the form of wireless internet?
Any help would be great, if you need more detail etc, ill be happy to go into detail!

I found the solution after many many many attemps.
It's not a MBP problem, it's your wireless router.
1- Set your BEACON between 20 and 50. D-LINK router for example use 100 has default value. It's too long.
2- Change your channel. D-link default is 6. Use whatever channel. I use 10.
Hope you enjoy!

Is there a fix for the MBP wireless dropping issue?

I began to experience the Macbook Pro dropping wireless connectivity on my very 1st Apple in 2008. At the end of the day my machine was replaced with a new Macbook Pro mid 2010. It appeared to be working just fine until about 2-3 months ago when I started dropping my wireless printer connection. I searched the internet hoping for a driver update from HP or something from Apple and each time I found something, the problem still existed. I even thought that by upgrading to Lion would resolve any issues that I have with my MBP wireless connectivity issue. After upgrading to buying a new router, new printer and upgrading to Lion; the wireless dropping issue still remains unresolved! I know there are several hundred in not thousands of people who are having the same problem so what are we supposed to do?
When my 1st MBP was replaced in 2010 I had to stop working because I was diagnosed with "Failed Back Surgical Syndrome" and was in the process of applying for disability. Something in the back of my mind said that I needed to purchase Apple Care for this new replacement however I had used all of my savings & retirement to sustain life for me and my family that there was nothing for Apple Care. If it weren't for my church and family I am not sure what I would do during the 18 months of no income while waiting for a decision only to receive an appeal until I findly stood in front of an Administrative Law Judge who heard my case and granted me disability. Besides there was no way I could ask anyone for money to purchase a warranty for a top of the line laptop while the country was falling off an economical cliff.
I broke down and called Apple Support and was told that I qualified for technical assistance regarding the upgrade to Lion a few weeks ago. The tech on the phone had me run some disk utility tests and had me repair permissions which she said could be the cause of the problem. I willingly went along with her in hopes that this was indeed the fix. However, within 10 minutes of hanging up the phone my MBP began to drop it's wireless connection to my new HP printer and also the Internet. Hence my question above is what I am really looking to have answered! What is the fix to this problem that so many people are having issues with? I couldn't afford to purchase Apple Care back in 2010 and I can't afford to purchase a new 2011 machine today if that truly is the fix!
I will be disabled for the remainder of my life and I have grown dependent upon my computer to stay in touch with friends and colleges from work. I worked for the IT Group at Wynn Resorts and I can say that the type of service Appple is providing it's customers is not what I learned over the past 25 years with Mr. Wynn. Why can't Apple get the simple concept that it's customers are it's life line and keeps them in business. I need help and I don't know what to do nor where to turn. It would be different if Apple acknowledged the issue and said they were working on it however they aren't. I plead to Apple to help me fix my notebook so I can stay connected to the outside world vs. couped up inside my home.
Best Regards,
Scott Leavitt

I am simply lookig for some help not an argument. I am not an RF specialist however have setup a few wireless networks in my tenure at Wynn Resorts. I fully agree that wireless networking is an art and a science however the powers that be in Network Land have toughted wireless networking is the easiest and quickest way to get two computers to talk with one another. As I previously said I have already turned one (1) MBP in for this problem and Apple decided to replace it because they could not fix the problem with my particular MBP. This MBP was running Leopard when the problems started
I am having a hard time believeing that there are several other devicces in my home that depend on a wireless network to operate and my MBP is the only one having an issue. I took this a step further and decided to see what would happen if I tried to connect wirelessly via Fusion. In Windows 7 I am able to print and scan to my hearts content without any issues. I am able to browse the internet as much as I want. I close Fusion and try to connect to my printer via wireless and nothing.
In order to get Apple to help do I need to get a Network Analyzer and capture packets when I have these problems? Out of the 1000 + posts is there a consolidation of which answer is the best? BTW I am accessing the internet via a wireless connection using Fusion and Windows 7.
In response to Linc's comments, I will look at the router specifications however I did not qualify that these devices are not using the wireless connection at the same time. Right now I would guess there are maybe two (2) or three (3) at the most that are actively transmitting / receiving information. -- Thanks

Mac mini times out internal requests

My mac mini (previous gen.) 2.26ghz running 10.6.4 times out connection requests on my local wireless from the following things:
AppleTV ("old," 40gb)
Remote iphone (4g)/ipad (16gb, WiFi) app
RemoteHD ipad app
I can link the mini to the ATV but am neither able to sync the Apple tv to the mini (port 3689!) nor can I stream media to the ATV from the mini (apple tv cannot connect). Both RemoteHD and Apple remote ipod/iphone apps timeout. I am able to set the remote app up initially but the connection times out when I try to load the library. The mini is connected via ethernet to Apple Airport Extreme 802.11n base station and the ATV is connected via wireless.
I can, however, get my media through Orb sharing (web based with local host) and set up a working remote connection with RemoteHD using its local port mapping wizard. I can also load the library to the MBP through iTunes sharing and share the mini screen through MobileMe's back to my mac.
On, with incoming connections allowed, or off, the firewall on the mini makes no difference.
I do have my library stored on external media. I noticed some posts suggesting that might be the problem. Based on the issue with RemoteHD, I don't think it's that simple. I need to find a fix anyway because my library exceeds the capacity of the mini.
I haven't monkeyed with any Airport based port mapping or anything because all functions worked fine with a g4 desktop (which also served the media from external drives) and currently work with my MacBook pro 2.4 ghz also running 10.6.4. The issue is isolated to the mac mini and the local wireless.
In the broad scope, these are minor but perplexing irritations that I'm currently working around. The most inconvenient is the ATV issue followed closely by remote control of iTunes. I'm willing to install something like NoobProof to manage that port problem if necessary, but I'm hoping to suss out exactly what's happening that's prohibiting me connecting via my local wireless so I can solve all issues at once.
If you managed to hang in there, thanks for reading all this and thanks in advance for any assistance and let me know if I can provide any additional information.

Large File Time Outs

I tend to need larger files extracted to Excel. I've found that these time out. Are there settings to extend the conversion time? Or, is there an option to select specific pages to be able to break the conversion into seperate pieces?

Nope. Downloads were attempted only to my MBP. Unsuccessful when attempted through the TC, whether wired or wireless. Successful when MBP connected directly to the ethernet jack for the internet connection.
After downloading files directly connected, I can move the files around on the network via wireless - for example MBP to TC - with no issues.
Haven't done anything with these files on the Dell - just noted that for network load. I use that thing as little as possible. It's running Windows 7 64 bit.
Thanks!

After upgrading to mountain lion, my ip camera video feeds time out

I've been using my iMacs for a few years to monitor six ip Camera video feeds. The cameras I use are both FOSCAM and AXIS brands. I've used a few third party software solutions to do the monitoring, but I could also always use Safari to access a camera at a time by putting that camera's IP address in the address field and logging into the camera.
After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my video feeds started timing out when using DComplex's IP Camera Viewer, so I thought initially it was strictly an issue with that third party app. However, I then logged into my cameras using Safari and they timed out as well. Similarly, when using Axis Camera viewer, my video feeds would time out. It seems as whatever the issue, it does not affect Firefox, because I can still login and monitor 1 feed at a time using that browser without any timeout issues, and for some odd reason, the FOSCAM only program uFoscam works, but the problem for me with that app is that it only works with Foscam, and not the Axis cameras (besides it's an inferior program to IP Camera Viewer in my opinion as well).
Has anyone encountered this problem and come up with a solution? I'm thinking it's some sort of plugin or video codec problem, but it's well above my paygrade to figure it out.

I'm having the same problem with both my Vivotek wired network camera and Panasonic wireless network cameras. At first I thought this was an issue with the video framework in Mountain Lion, but if Firefox is working (I haven't tried it yet), it sounds like it may be an objective-c video library that has been changed. It's possible Firefox is using an objective-c interface that calls an objective-c function that isn't called by Safari or IP Camera Viewer, etc., (possibly a function that is on its way to be deprecated) or Firefox could use it's own library that directly calls the video framework.
Could be the Mountain Lion objective-c framework has a buffering issue.
Since this is occuring in both 3rd party software and Apple software, it sounds like it's an Apple issue. 3rd party applications typically utilize the Apple Developer objective-c frameworks to access video frameworks/libraries (for example, MJPEG). Thus, contacting 3rd party developers may not solve the situation (unless they can figure out a temporary bandaid--possibly figuring out the video framework call that Firefox uses and patching their software to do the same (not a simple task), but could still provide more feedback to Apple via their developer status.
Has anyone attempted to record from their cameras via iMovie or Final Cut Pro X HD? I will try mine later tonight to see if it records the hanging. If it does, then it's looking more and more like Apple's the culprit.
My suggestion is for everyone to file a bug report via http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
