My desktop fails to connect to wifi each time it wakes up.

My IMAC after waking up fails to connect to my wireless network automatically - I have to choose a network manually. Have already gone into setting to ensure that it seeks automatically, but that didn't work.

my Macbook pro started doing this too after upgrading to Lion, does anyone have an answer for this?

Ipad not connecting to wifi each time it is turned on

Ipad ver 4 using ATT modem doesn't automatically connect as it used to. IO6 and no issues before. WPA2 security and reentering the password and user name retores the connection. Otherwise the Ipad can't connect unless I do this...

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

IPad 3 with iOS 6 fails to connect to WiFi with WPA2 and AES - any solutions available?

Hello *,
after upgrading my iPad 3 to iOS 6 it constantly fails to connect to WiFi with WPA2 and AES - hidden or broadcasted SSID - at home and at work because the device does not accept the WPA2 password. This is also the case for my iPhone 4S but both devices did work with WiFi (WPA2 / AES) perfectly with previously installed iOS 5.1.1.
I tried to downgrade to iOS 5.1.1 but it seems to be no longer possible to downgrade for both iPad 3 and iPhone 4S as the certification and signage window for iOS 5.1.1 maybe has been closed by Apple.
Does anyone know about a possible solution to connect to WiFi with WPA2 and AES with iPad 3 / iPhone 4S and iOS 6 upgrade?
Thank you very much for any help and advise.
Best regards from Germany
Matthias

Yoga 13 does not automatically connect to Wifi at times

My yoga 13 does not automatically connect to WIFI at times thought it has been saved to automatically connect. It will connect after I click on the WIFI icon in the desktop and then it sees the WIFI network and automatically connects to it. Though it is not a big deal it is minor inconvenience that I have to click that icon at times when internet doesn't work. This shouldn't be the case for a laptop that retails over 1000 bucks. Any suggestions?

This happens to me too. I haven't found a solution yet either.

Have installed and uninstalled Adobe Acrobat XI Pro on my Dell desktop running Windows 7 Professional. Each time I try to open a PDF file, I receive ERROR: 16 message. Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

I have installed FCE on my macbook and on my desktop. Then I accidentally migrated FCE from the desktop to the macbook. Now each time I launch FCE on the macbook it asks for the product serial number. How can I stop this happening?

I installed Final Cut Epxress 4 on my laptop and my macbook and then accidentally also migrated FCE from the desktop to the macbook. Now each time I launch FCE on the macbook it asks for the software serial number. I enter the number which is then rejetced as it's already been used twice. FCE launches anyway as the licence info had already been written to my hard drive when I first installed FCE. How can I stop it asking for the serial nmber every time I open FCE?

You need to uninstall FCE from you Macbook and then reinstall it.
If you are not familiar with the process, FCS Remover is an app that can uninstall FCE for you.

Why do I have to install Connect Add-in each time I share desktop?

Each time I want to share my desktop I am prompted to install the connect add-in. It stays active while the browser is open, but when I close the browser and try again, I have to install it all over again. Often the install hangs, and I have to cancel and install a dozen times to get it to install. How do I install once and never again?
Add-in version:9,0,177,0
Player Version: WIN 10,0,22,87
IE7

Usually Muse only uploads files which have changed.
A new version of Muse was released yesterday. If you're uploading your site for the first time with the new version, Muse will upload all files because some of the code generation has changed in the new version.
The next time you upload with the same version of Muse, only the changed files should be uploaded.

MSohm (Edit note) - Moved message to new thread and edited subject.

Try turning off the power again, but this time disconnect the power cord and USB cable for 5 minutes.
Then reconnect the power cord and turn on and check the network settings (in case the IP address has changed - it should not have but check anyway). Then open Network Utility (Applications > Utilities) and select the Ping tab. Enter the IP address of the MX860 and press Ping. You should get a ping response for each packet sent. If you do, then it shows there is a working path between the Mac and the MX. If there is no response, then there is an issue with the wireless connection between the Mac and the MX.

Red light after connecting usb cable each time

My ipod shuffle (4th gen) is weird and would not start. I know it's because someday I plugged out the usb cable right after I perform the sync task and forget to press the reject button first.
Now the symtons is: It won't start / recharge, and it even doesn't show any light. Each time I connect it to the PC or AC adaptor, it will show RED light in about 5 seconds, and after few seconds there will be no light and it just dies.
How can I fixed my poor faily new shuffle?

Hey exkaede,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities! I'd go ahead and try restoring your iPod shuffle to factory settings, so the software will be restored to its original factory condition with updates:

IPad Fails to connect to wifi, but shows the wifi icon

My company just installed a wireless network in our building. I was very excited because I can finally use my iPad in meetings and ditch the IBM laptop. However, it does not want to connect to the wireless network. Let me try to explain what happens.
BTW,
1. It is a new network so all the routers have the most up to date firmware.
2. I have tried to connect with my iPad2 and iPad both without success. The iPad was recently wiped clean and set up for my son.
3. I can connect to my home network, my sprint mifi card, and other networks (hotels, starbucks) with no problem.
4. Laptops can connect with out issue to the network.
5. Others have been able to connect their iPhone to the network.
6. One other person could not connect their iPod Touch to the network. He gets the same response that I do. I don't know anyone else with an iPad that works in my building. However see item two above.
7. It is using WPA security.
8. I have reset network settings numerous times on both iPads and rebooted both iPads numerous times.
9. I am able to connect to another wifi network in our building. Both networks use the same security and password.
This is what happens:
1. Go to Settings -> Wi-Fi and choose my companies wireless network.
2. It asks for the password and I type it in (Trust me I am typing it in correctly. I have done it about a hundred times now.)
3. Recieve the message "Unable to join the network," I hit Dismiss and Cancel.
4. I get the Checkmark next to the wireless network I just tried to join. If you click the blue arrow I get an IP address, but NO "Forget This Network" Option. I also have the wifi icon next to the word iPad in the upper left corner of the screen. It will also not load any Safari pages. Safari states "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet."
I have also tried:
1. Go to Settings -> Wi-Fi and choose "Other."
2. Type in the SSID name and choose WPA, Type the password.
3. Hit "Join" & get the message "Could not find the network"
4. I hit Dismiss and Cancel.
5. I get the Checkmark next to the wireless network I just tried to join. If you click the blue arrow I get an IP address, but NO "Forget This Network" Option. I also have the wifi icon next to the word iPad in the upper left corner of the screen. It will also not load any Safari pages. Safari states "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet."
Please help. I have read many articles on this forum and tried everything without success.

If you are getting a 169... IP, then you are not connected. That is a self-assigned IP that the iPad is giving itself because the router is not giving it one.
Is it possible that you are not selecting the correct WPA security protocol for your network?

[SOLVED] NetworkManager failing to connect to wifi networks

Up until yesterday NetworkManager had been working fine on my network. Then yesterday it began dropping internet access (but still reporting that it was connected to the network) and eventually dropping the connection entirely. This has been happening whenever I attempt to connect to the network.
Now, nm will not even connect to the network, it appears to attempt authentication but fails. Ethernet however, works perfectly.
Here are some of my logs:
journalctl
dmesg
lspci

Is ip-config available on your system?
ip-config isn't a program/package (on linux at least). This message just means that DHCP is timing out.

Canon MX860 Fails to connect via wifi

Our MX860 suddenly stopped working. It's been a reliable printer on our home network for a few years now.
"Support code 300: The printer does not respond..."
I turned it off/on, which has been sufficient to resolve any hiccups in the past. No change.
I restarted the primary Mac (an iMac running 10.8.5). No change.
I downloaded the latest driver from Canon and installed it. No change.
I downloaded the Canon IJ Network Tool and connected to the printer via USB and ran through the setup process. It seemed to go smoothly, but at the end where the network version of the printer and scanner are supposed to appear in the Default section of the Add dialog for adding a printer, no dice. The USB printer and FAX entries are there, but no new network printer or scanner entries to select.
On the front panel of the printer in the WLAN setting list it reports:
Connection: Active
SSID: <mywifinetwork>
Communications mode: Infrastructure
Channel: 6
Data encryption: AES
Network authentication: WPA2-PSK
WEP bit: Disable
IP address: 10.0.1.191
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 10.0.1.1
MAC address: 00:00:85:F5:DA:A1
Any tips/insight on what I should try next would be appreciated.
Thanks!
