Mountain Lion destroyed my wifi abilities.

I can no longer share the internet over wifi to other computers, bluray, or iphone after upgrading to moutain lion. I can't even connect iOS devices via wifi to my iMac to use apps like remote. Help?
My devices can see the connection but after typing in the password say on my iPhone i get the responce "Unable to join _________ "

You didn't have a working system, you had a system that you thought was working. It was a ticking time bomb ready to explode at the slightest provocation. You need to repair the hard drive with Disk Utility every now and then to prevent such problems from getting to that point. I recommend doing it prior to any system upgrade or update.
Note that, if you are unable to erase the hard drive and you are trying to do that correctly, the hard drive is probably physically failing and will need to be replaced. If that is the case, there is nothing you could have done to prevent the failure. All hard drives fail at some point.

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my home wifi dies for all devices when I bring my MacBook Pro home.

The situation:
Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, the following sequence of events has happened with my laptop.
1. I come home from work.
2. I open the lid of my laptop.
3. I see the white "your comptuer's messed up" screen. I click a button to restart.
4. We lose wifi. This affects all devices.
5. I restart the router and modem.
Once it's restarted, I have no issues - until I leave for work and bring the computer back that night. I've checked the router and modem - no issues there, as it works perfectly for every other device in the house, and even works for the laptop perfectly (once they've been reset, that is).
Some notes of clarification:
1. The wifi does not die with any other device - this includes an iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 and an iPad 1.
2. BUT, when the wifi DOES die, it affects every device in the house.
3. My laptop does not do this with any other wifi - only my home wifi.
It seems to me that the correlation is in the initial connection. When my laptop initially tries to connect to our home wifi, it's as if it fries both the connection and the computer. I see a lot of issues with people losing wifi for their computer, or slow wifi, but I haven't seen anything that relates to this wifi death across all devices when the laptop is reawoken after being at work. It's like there's something messed up with the switch from work wifi to home wifi.
Please help!

Hi,
I had a similar issue with Time Machine after upgrading my iMac (where the Time Machine HDD is connected and shared from) to Mountain Lion. This was fixed by following the instruction from this site: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4700. It seems that Mountain Lion introduced a more secure network protocol which may not be supported (yet) by the network drive.
Hope this helps.

Mountain Lion/Mavericks 'breaks' wifi base station - Snow Leopard works fine

Greetings all,
(Tried this in the OSx forum with no answers, so I figured I'd try the MacMini community and this one.)
I've been reading my way toward blindness through countless threads, here and elsewhere, from countless people, having problem with Mountain Lion and Wi-Fi these last few days, but some are using Airport, some are using third-party Wi-Fi routers, some aren't really specifying what they're using, so I thought I'd be as specific as possible about my situation - and add the fact that everything is still working fine if I boot into a cloned backup using Snow Leopard.
===
So here's the situation. I have a Intel Mac Mini which I use as a Wi-Fi base station for a Intel PowerBook Pro and an iPod 5. The Mini has been running Snow Leopard, and the PowerBook had been upgraded to Mountain Lion a few months ago. Things were still working fine at that point - the PowerBook's shift from SL to ML didn't affect its connectivity as a 'receiver' at all. About a week ago however, I finally upgraded the Mini to Mountain Lion as well (so that I could install the current version of Adobe Lightroom) and lost my Wi-Fi Internet access.
When I turn Wi-Fi on at the PowerBook, the Mini's network is visible, and I get the solid Wi-Fi fan showing a full connection, but I cannot access the Internet (indicated by the exclaimation point inside the fan for the first few seconds). The same is true on the iPod - I get the checkmark showing that I'm connected, but when I try to access any Internet services will get a pop-up box telling me that the Internet is not connected.
After going through pages and pages and pages of people struggling with similar issues on sites like this, and following suggestions like deleting my preference files, repairing permissions, zapping PRAM, creating new locations, changing IP addresses etc. I got no further. But since I had cloned my hard drive just before the upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion (thank you SuperDuper), I can reboot into Snow Leopard, and everything still works fine. With that advantage, I copied and re-created EVERY SINGLE preference in the system preferences for Network and Internet sharing* from the Snow Leopard into the Mountain Lion system. (I even went so far as to create a network in Mountain Lion's prefs. with WEP encryption instead of the newer WPA just in case that would make any difference at all.) But even with identical settings on the Mini regardless of booting into Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion, Mountain Lion remains the same - no problem connecting with the network, but complete inability to access the Internet. A few days ago, hoping against hope that an upgrade to Mavericks might reset things into some sort of working mode, I tried that - but no better result.
(*) I note that the wifi heading in the preference panes has changed from "AirPort" in Snow Leopard to "WiFI" in Mountain Lion and Mavericks, but I'm assuming that's just a change Apple made in its terminology to avoid confusion with the external AirPort options.
I would appreciate any suggestions any of you could give. And I would ask that you specify whether any suggested changes are to be made on the originating Wi-Fi station (in this case the Mini), or the receiver (in this case the MacBook). Many of the threads I've read to date can be confusing simply because they're not specifying on which machine any suggested changes need to be made, and while I'm sure there's nothing that needs to be changed at the MacBook, please specify if I'm wrong.
Thanks again,

Macbook pro 15in 2011 with mountain lion installed- dropped wifi

I am having a fit with my macbook pro - dropped wifi after sleep- I did all the things suggested in another apple forum- my airport extreme is current with updates- renewed dhcp etc etc NOW to be accurate my 2010 mac mini has no issue whatsoever-- this is driving me crazy- I would have thought Apple would have fixed this by now -with the update 2 or 3 days ago but ha ha it did not-- but I can assure you that it is not a hardware issue as much as a mountain lion/ apple software issue- I have to restart my computer all the time to remain connected- can someone tell someone at apple about this- I sure am seeing a TON of people with the same problem- it is not allowing me to run smoothly-- as I had zero issues before the perfect install of mountian lion --from lion-- which my macbook came with-- I am also running Kaspersky for Mac and it is the 2013 version and today I had to restart change its proxy settings to get it to update and it was fine last week.
I am wondering if this has anything to do with the apps having to come thru the app store because a time and moon phase widget I got when running lion from the app store is just blank now. Safari loses the ability to connect and I have to restart then all is well for an undetermined amount of time or an awake from sleep mode and its thank you apple turning my laptop into a **** on earth- I thought I should put this out there for Apple to see.

For anybody whomay stumble across this post- it is an addendum to the originalpost
Just to be sure it is an APPLE SOFTWARE ISSUE - ProbablySafari---I used my mac mini ( with mountain lion ) and-- it too drops wifi-- and the end result is
SAFARI CANNOT CONNECT TO SERVER lol
the app store hangs and hangs and hangs
as it does my macbook pro -- they BOTH have to be restarted-- then it is okay for a little while
THIS IS SO ANNOYING ha ha-- in this instance caps does mean I am yelling lol

Mountain Lion + Safari + My Wife

The 3 things above do not work well together.
Here is the short story on EXCESSIVE Hard Drive activity using the 3 items listed above.
I just purchased another iMac for my wife replacing her prior mid 2010 iMac 21.5.
One of the reasons is that after upgrading her prior computer to Mountain Lion, she had excessive hard drive activity.
I had to put her back on 10.7.5 Lion to stop this.
After purchasing this newer mid 2011 iMac 27 for her, the same thing is happening on her user account using Mountain Lion and Safari.
Excessive hard drive activity when using Safari. Even after quting Safari the hard drive keeps reading and writing at an excessive rate.
Something like 5, 10, 20, 40 MB per second read and/or write.
I migrated my account over to this new machine for a test and I don't have that problem when using Safari on Mountain Lion.
This tells me that the System does not seem to be the problem.
It seems to have something to do with her user folder or what she has is Safari.
So, I deleted almost everything thing she had in Safari including bookmarks, cache, top sites, history, etc.
Everything but saved names and passwords.
I refuse to do that as I you would most likely be reading my name in the obituary section of the newspaper.
(Yes, we do have everything backed up but I still refuse to do that)
Instead of putting her back on 10.7.5 Lion on this newer iMac, I started having her use FireFox.
There seems to be no problem now with excessive hard drive activity when using Mountain Lion and FireFox and her user account.
I also have her entire prior hard drive running Lion 10.7.5. cloned on an external hard drive and it doesn't have any problems when running on the new iMac.
Bottom Line, can anyone give me any ideas on why Safari might be doing this for her user account only?
Again, I have tried many things not mentioned here to try and find the cause but have not come up with the answer.
Activity Monitor and/or Console Logs have not given me any answers unless I'm missing something.
2 different computers doing the exact same thing only on her account using Mountain Lion and Safari.
Thinking about calling Tech Support but not sure if Tier 2 or Tier 3 can even give me the answer I am looking for.
Anyone else called about a similar problem with excessive hard drive activity and got any real fixes?
iMac 21.5, 10.8.2, 4 GB memory
iMac 27, 10.8.2, 8 GB memory
Repaired Permissions (no problems)
Started in Safe Mode
Reset SMC
Reset P-Ram
Nothing seems to help for her account when using Mountain Lion and Safari

OK, I might have found the problem.
After spending about a week on her prior computer and about a week on this newer computer, I may have found the problem.
I checked the Activity Monitor again and this time the "Dashboard" was taking up 100% of the CPU
I found a "Widget" in the dashboard that seems to have been either corrupted in transfer or a bad widget.
I had the same Widget in my user folder but it seemed to be OK as I wasn't having any problems.
That seems to be why just her user account was affected.
I removed the Widget on her user account and so far, the Dashboard is only using a percent or two of the CPU processes.
I will report back if things change.
I have her back on Safari for the time being.
Looks like my name won't be in the obituary section of the newspaper, at least for a little while longer, now.

Mountain Lion - Apple Care - Wifi - etc.

Despues de bastante tiempo con problemas con la conexion wifi (todas ellas por una actualizacion), despues de numerosas llamadas al servicio tecnico y despues de contratar el AppleCare (170€), sin ningun exito, por fin he conseguido la solucion: Comprar el Mountain Lion (16€). Muchisimas gracias por chuparme la sangre al maximo. Ha sido un placer desembolsar casi 200 € para dar con la solucion a un problema provocado por ustedes. Muchisimas gracias por la estafa.

Not tried to set one up recently, but AppleTV 2 and 3 don't seem to play well with WEP which may be the issue here.

Mountain Lion destroys 3 external hard drives any reason why?

New Mac Book Pro Retina, Mountain Lion OS a all updates. Each external USB hardrive including the main back up 3TB external
blows apart with a message you can no longer read or write to this drive, the exteranl, back it up immediately. Go to do that
it rebooted and now that drive as well as 2 others are not accessible.
I have put 2 of the externals on my older Mac Book and I can get them to mount, and had to buy a new 4TB exteranal for
backing up the older externals. I don't dare put that new one on the Mountian Lion new Mac Book Pro
as I already lost years of work on the 3TB drive that will not mount at all. Something is terribly wrong
with this box or the OS Anyone have any guidance? I dread having all my externals and I have many that hold scads of my
work, etc. The 3T may not be repairable as I can't get it to be seen by any other G5Duo or Mac Books 2 different ones
all run on Snow lepoard
Help?

As far as the older drives go, all may not be lost.
It is possible that the USB interface in the box may
be somehow hosed and the drive itself may be fine.
You could pull the old drive out of the case and use
one of the many USB->SATA adapters and hook up to
the another computer. This would at least tell you if
you have lost all your data. Make sure you get one
with external powering like this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812232002
Or if somehow the drive is corrupted, at least try to use
some recovery software to get te data back. If the drive
is good, you can put it in another case. If you have that
much at stake, you have nothing to lose but a few bucks
(price of a good meal soewhere) by trying this.
BTW, what brand are these HDDs? Mountain Lion in and
of itself should not be causing the drives to be unreadable.
There may be a serious hardware issue with the MBP.

HT1338 After starting to download the Mountain Lion software, my wifi connection was disconnected. When I attached the ethernet cable, the downloading software was gone, and when I tried redoing the process, the app store would not accept the code. What d

Hey,
I just tried redeeming my software online. I went through the whole process, got the password, and proceeded to get the software to download. But soon after, the wifi connection was disconnected, and when I tried to connect the ethernet cable, the entire software had disappeared from my launchpad. When I tried to restart the download, it kept saying that the password had already been used before, and that it could only be used once per computer. What do I do now?

You shouldn't have to re-enter the code, Lion should be on your purchases list so you can re-download it. In the App Store, click Purchases... do you see ML there?

Can't connect from mavericks (MBP) to mountain lion (MacPro) via Wifi

i am trying to google for answers to this and i just come up with answers about connections to printers or hdmi or TV's etcetera.
the problem is that i can connect to my laptop (macbook pro) from my desktop (mac pro) but i can't connect from my laptop (MBP) to my desktop (mac pro). i used to be able to do this but for some reason all i see if "Share Screen" or "Disconnect" and my iCloud Account is listed as "Connected As" but there is no data shown in Finder.
does anyone know what search terms i can google for or if there is a Settings section that i should be checking?
i tried dragging the Mac Pro icon out of the Shared section and i tried hitting disconnect as well as restarting both machines and turning off wifi on the laptop (hmmm. maybe i will shut both down at the same time...?) and so far no solutions.
right now i have to go to the desktop to move files around and this is a major pain.
i can see the network and i can print...
THANKS for any help

hi. thank you. this is really aggravating. i am checking the mac pro this morning (it is the one i cannot access from my laptop) and attached is the screenshot. does this look OK?
also, i am starting to wonder is it possible that the "Computer Name" has changed itself on the network or is it possible that i have some control over /naming/ the computer? it seems to often be named "MyName Mac Pro (2)" which always bothers me since there is no 1 Mac Pro and i would like to get rid of the appended 2.
but ALSO i don't recall ever having changed anything in system preferences so i am wondering if somehow the computer renamed itself or something weird has happened.
finally, is it possible something is amiss with the fact that FINDER says it is connected via my icloud EMAIL account at the top of the Finder window on my Laptop whereas when i check just now on the desktop it shows that i am connnected as the SHORT NAME of my LAPTOP. i mean, when i connec tto the laptop from the desktop it shows me connected as the short name of the laptop but when i connect to the desktop as the laptop - it says i am connnected as the name of my ICLOUD ACCOUNT and i am thinking it should say i am connected as the name of my MAC PRO SHORT NAME.
you know what i mean? is there a place in the LAPTOP to check where i input what name and password i am connecting to the Mac Pro under...
THANK YOU

Wifi not working after upgrading to mountain lion

As soon as I updated my MacBook Pro from Snow Leapord to Mountain Lion. My wifi doesn't turn ON. It says WIFI "No hardware found".

Yesterday evening I had the same problem. The sound was stuttering a while, and then it was not possible to adjust the volume settings with the keys. Also my computer (laptop MBpro 2009) was slow as ****, when I tried to open the sound preferences.
Even a reboot didn't help, as setting the audio midi settings. The results where terrible.
Just many hours later I was able to solve this problem. I used a program called ICECLEAN.
I checked/Cleaned the preferences files for the SYSTEM and USER.
still no results.
After that I did a full CLEAN USER AND SYSTEM CACHE.
Reboot the machine and then everything worked correctly.
thanks APPLE!

Mountain Lion install results in blank gray screen.

I recently downloaded and installed Mountain Lion on my wife's late-2007 iMac. Unfortunately, each time, after the installer finishes and reboots, the computer sticks at a blank gray screen where normally the Apple logo would appear while things boot in the background. I have tried restoring from Time Capsule and re-downloading then reinstalling, but it produces the same result.
With the gray screen problem present, I've tried a Safe Boot, holding down Option to select a disk to boot from (nothing comes up when I do this, just the mouse cursor), and resetting the PRAM/NVRAM. I haven't really been able to find anyone else having this particular issue. The hard drive in the iMac is a little over a year old as we had to replace the old one. And from what my wife read, the late-2007 iMacs are Mountain Lion compatible.

saw this in another thread about a macbook pro slowing up after OSX Mountain Lion install:
the mac owner had mentioned his mac going very slow, and was told it could take several days for the new OSX to sort things out. Perhaps this explains my issue and perhaps yours.
"Yes this can be the case, even slow shutdowns and startups. But Hardisk space can also be a factor. Anything below the 10Gig mark of space left can cause extreme slowdowns."

Two iMessage Accounts on OSX Mountain Lion???

Is it possible to have two iMessage accounts on OSX Mountain Lion? My wife and I have our own phones with separate Apple IDs for use in iCloud, etc, but share a computer at home. We would like to be able to use the iMessage functionality in Messages without having to switch between user accounts on the computer. I don't see a way to add a second iMessage acount on the computer version of Messages.
Please let me know if this is possible.
Thanks,
Charlie

After updating my mac from snow leopard to mountain lion, i can not connect to the internet anymore

After updating my mac book pro from snow leopard to mountain lion, i can not connect to the internet anymore ;(
Anyone know what is wrong with it??
Is something wrong with mountain lion or the wifi itself????
HELP PLEASE!!
I need to use the internet desperately but i cant...
Thank you so much xxx

Hi galleryskins,
The article below may be able to help you with this issue.
Click on the link below to see more details and screenshots.
I've quoted some helpful highlights for you:
OS X Mountain Lion: Zoom content on the screen
Zoom with a mouse or trackpad
To zoom in and out, hold down the modifier key you specified while you perform the scroll gesture.
For example, if you have a trackpad and used the default settings, zoom in by holding down the Control (^) key while you drag two fingers up on the trackpad. Zoom out by holding down the Control key while you drag two fingers down on the trackpad.
If you chose Picture-in-picture zooming, a window appears near the mouse cursor with the magnified image. If you chose Fullscreen zooming, the entire screen displays the magnified image.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Mountain lion kernel panic using wifi

I have a very repeatable kernel panic running the latest mountain lion build 10.8.1 (occured in 10.8.0 as well, but I couldn't trace it to a certain behavior yet)
- enable Wifi, connects to home network (close, excellent connection)
- start iTunes (latest), run music over Airplay (doesn't run well at all, i.e. stops after the 0.5s of music)
- open airport utility => kernel panic, always a division error, always called by the atheros driver
anyone experiencing a similar issue?
if I disable WiFi and do the same over ethernet -> no problem.
here the panic report excerpt .... reported to apple as well.
thanks

You have far too many third-party system modifications. There's no way that setup is going to be stable.
Back up all data to at least two different storage devices, if you haven't already done so. The backups can be made with Time Machine or with a mirroring tool such as Carbon Copy Cloner. Preferably both. You must be certain that you can restore everything to the state it's in now.
Boot into Recovery (command-R at startup), and reinstall OS X. Test. If the problem is gone, you're done.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with networks that require any kind of authentication other than a WPA or WPA2 Personal password.
If the problem persists, boot into Recovery again, launch Disk Utility, and erase the startup volume with the default options. This operation will destroy all data on the volume, so you had be better be sure of your backups. Quit Disk Utility and install the OS again. When you reboot, you'll be prompted to go through the initial setup process. That’s when you import the data from one of your backups. For details of how this works, see here:
Using Setup Assistant
Import only "Users" and "Settings" – not "Applications" or "Other files." Don't import the Guest account, if it was enabled on the old system. Test. If the problem is still there, you have a hardware fault. Take the machine to an Apple Store for diagnosis.
If the problem is resolved, reinstall your third-party software cautiously. Self-contained applications that install into the Applications folder by drag-and-drop or download from the App Store are safe. Anything that comes packaged as an installer or that prompts for an administrator password is suspect, and you must test thoroughly after reinstalling each such item to make sure you haven't restored the problem.
