My iMac loses connection to my AirPort several times a day.
My iMac loses connection to my AirPort several times a day, and I have to manually select the AirPort each time. My other devices (laptops, iPads, iPhone) never lose connectivity to the AirPort - just the iMac. What is going on? It is just inconvenient to take the extra steps to reconnect my Wi-Fi every time I want to use my iMac.
Make sure your system is up to date with all available Software Updates since this problem was supposed to have been fixed some months ago, but I understand it remains for some users.
Assuming everything is up to date, try this: Using the Finder's Go > Go to Folder... menu, open the following folder
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Drag these three files to the Desktop:
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
com.apple.network.identification.plist
preferences.plist
This will only make copies of them. If they still exist in the folder, select each of them and then drag them to the Trash. You will need to authenticate with your Administrator name and password.
Restart your Mac and log in again. Your wireless network will not be selected automatically, so select it from the Wi-Fi menu. The three Preference files above will be replaced with new ones.
Use the Mac and determine if this made any difference. If you think it's fixed, you can drag the three files from the Desktop to the Trash. If not, you can always drag them back to the original folder. You will have to authenticate again, and your previous network preferences will be restored.

IMac Retina has started shutting down several times a day, generating a "Panic Report".
Although I have had a new iMac Retina since October, it is only within the past few weeks that I have started trying to use it for most purposes. Initially, it seemed to be working OK. But during the past week, it has started to do peculiar things, such as:
1. Now, several times a day, it shuts down unexpectedly. When I boot it back up, it displays a message saying that it was shut down because of a problem. Then, when I click on the window for a report of the problem, it generates a long “Panic Report”.
2. When it boots back up, it automatically opens several windows that I did not have open when it shut down — Safari, Firefox, Excel, Word, etc.
3. I have 2 external 1gb drives connected for data, and 2 external 4gb drives connected for Time Machine backups. All of the drives have been formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). However, although Finder originally showed all 4 of those drives, Finder now always omits a particular one of the 1gb drives. Yet, iDrive and Time Machine continue to recognize all 4 drives.
4. Several times over the past week, it suddenly popped up a “Jabber" window containing a long transcript of a series of iPhone texts that I exchanged in January. However, I never installed Jabber (to my knowledge), and it doesn’t show as currently installed on any of my devices.
I just ran EtreCheck, and this is the report:
Problem description:

I have to reset my airport several times a day...why?????
Why do I have to reset my router several times a day????
I returned it today. I had to push a bit on the store to replace because they could not duplicate the problem and because I did so many restores, there was no data that they could check to see the history of resets, or so they said.
But, alas, a secret manager in the back approved a replacement but I was reminded this was a one time courtesy replacement. The Genius rep was very cool, same guy who helped me the first time.
I said, "how am I supposed to come in when it locks up? I need to use the phone, so I am always going to reset it. I can't wait to come to the store and just live with no phone for a day or two." He responded that unless they can see the problem or duplicate, there is nothing they can do. A very reasonable policy and it makes sense, but you would think that if I just got the phone on Friday and came back Monday, I might get the benefit of the doubt, which I suspect I did in this case.
Got to love Apple, they just want to make their customers happy. I marveled as another customer brought their Generation 1 iPod nano in for repair / replacement and they were looking for ways to give her a credit. Another guy brought in an iPod classic that clearly had been abused and they replaced it.
They really do try. -
IMac crashes several times per day. What is causing the issue?
Here is the error report.
I am always prompted to "report this issue to Apple" but never hear back as to what the issue actually is.
Can someone decipher the "crash report"?
Thank you!

Why does CC now sign out several times a day and applications revert to trial mode almost instantly?
Since the last update my Creative Cloud connection signs itself out several times a day. Applications continuously revert to trial mode and need to be relicensed. I cannot stress how annoying it is to be reading a PDF only for Acrobat to close and then be invited to start my "trial". Whilst this doesn't actually stop my use of the Adobe applications it is very disruptive to my normal work flow. What I struggle to understand is why the appliactions so quickly revert to trial mode. Surely even if the CC connection is lost they should remain licensed for days?
Running Windows 7 and the main apps I use are Illustrator CS6, Illustrator CC, Photoshop CS6, Photoshop CC & Acrobat XI Pro.
RichardJo: hello
Jagadish: Hi Jo .
Jo: Since I last updated Photoshop some weeks ago, connection signs itself out several times a day. Applications continuously revert to trial mode and need to be re-licensed.
Jo: I can see this was mentioned in a forum a couple of years ago but can't see there was a definate solution
Jo: I spoke to someone here yesterday, they had me sign out of creative cloud and back in, but that froze my computer, as all adobe programs do at the moment, and the chat window disappeared
Jo: I have tried the things suggested on this page https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/unable-login-creative-cloud-248.html
Jo: except for Download the IMSLib Replacer, because the link is broken
Jo: which i mentioned yesterday, but it would appear it has not been fixed
Jagadish: I understand that you wish to activate software .

AirPort in Intel iMac loses connection and does not see network
I bought an Intel iMac in the summer of '06. I had no problems connecting my airport card to my house wireless network which uses an AirPort Extreme Base Station.
In september I brought my iMac to college and used an AirPort Express as my base station. I had no problems other than that the computer did not automatically reconnect to the network upon start up.
In december I returned home and configured the AirPort Express (located on the main level of the house) to extend the network of the AirPort Extreme (located upstair in the bedroom next to my iMac).
Lately the iMac loses connectivity to the wireless network randomly while the computer is on, even in the middle of using it. Not only does it lose the signal but does not list my network when i click the airport signal icon on the top bar of the screen. Once in a while it will have it listed but will give me an error when trying to connect. The only way I have of fixing the problem is to restart the computer.
I know the airport base station works fine and the network is still there becasue I have a PowerBook G4 that I will put right next to the iMac and the PowerBook will still be connected to the network.
Can someone help?I have a very similar problem. My machine's airport connection has always been a little flaky, but it's always gone on working. However, yesterday I turned on WEP 128 bit encription. It now connects for a few minutes and then I see the signal strength gradually die until it goes off completely. There are then two ways to get it back working: 1. close the lid, then open it again; 2. tun off the airport, then turn it on again. When I do that the signal strength suddenly comes on full after about 3 seconds. The G4 iMac I have doesn't suffer from this problem. I am using a netgear access port as the base station.

My 15" MacBook Pro randomly loses connection to my AirPort Express wi-fi network. I have to switch off wi-fi on my Mac then switch on again to reconnect. Any reason why this random occurrence keeps happening which never happened before? Any solutions and fixes would also be welcomed.
JazzIn the airport utility, you can alter the radio modes... and change the channels from automatic to a manual one.
Hold down the Option key, and click on your wifi icon, it will tell you what channels are currently being used on your OSX. -

My iMac does an automatic restart several times a day. It gives me a option to send in a "panic" report. This happens randomly during the day and night. Any idea of anything new that might be causing this? I am up to date on all applications.
Mac users often ask whether they should install "anti-virus" (AV) software. The usual answer is "no." That answer is right, but it may give the wrong impression that there is no threat from what are loosely called "viruses." There is a threat, and you need to educate yourself about it.
1. This is a comment on what you should—and should not—do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions.
It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the computer, or who has been able to take control of it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. AV software is not intended to, and does not, defend against such attacks.
The comment is long because the issue is complex. The key points are in sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Internally Apple calls it "XProtect."
The malware recognition database used by XProtect is automatically updated; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
☞ It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
☞ It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't been checked for security by Apple unless it comes from the App Store, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
☞ It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
☞ A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
☞ An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
Apple has taken far too long to revoke the codesigning certificates of some known abusers, thereby diluting the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. Those lapses don't involve App Store products, however.
For the reasons given, App Store products, and—to a lesser extent—other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandbox security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not, and never will be, complete protection. Malware is a problem of human behavior, not machine behavior, and no technological fix alone is going to solve it. Trusting software to protect you will only make you more vulnerable.
The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and Internet criminals. If you're better informed than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know when you're leaving the safe harbor? Below are some warning signs of danger.
Software from an untrustworthy source
☞ Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, doesn't come directly from the developer’s website. Do not trust an alert from any website to update Flash, or your browser, or any other software. A genuine alert that Flash is outdated and blocked is shown on this support page. Follow the instructions on the support page in that case. Otherwise, assume that the alert is fake and someone is trying to scam you into installing malware. If you see such alerts on more than one website, ask for instructions.
☞ Software of any kind is distributed via BitTorrent, or Usenet, or on a website that also distributes pirated music or movies.
☞ Rogue websites such as Softonic, Soft32, and CNET Download distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous "installer."
☞ The software is advertised by means of spam or intrusive web ads. Any ad, on any site, that includes a direct link to a download should be ignored.
Software that is plainly illegal or does something illegal
☞ High-priced commercial software such as Photoshop is "cracked" or "free."
☞ An application helps you to infringe copyright, for instance by circumventing the copy protection on commercial software, or saving streamed media for reuse without permission. All "YouTube downloaders" are in this category, though not all are necessarily malicious.
Conditional or unsolicited offers from strangers
☞ A telephone caller or a web page tells you that you have a “virus” and offers to help you remove it. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
☞ A web site offers free content such as video or music, but to use it you must install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one.
☞ You win a prize in a contest you never entered.
☞ Someone on a message board such as this one is eager to help you, but only if you download an application of his choosing.
☞ A "FREE WI-FI !!!" network advertises itself in a public place such as an airport, but is not provided by the management.
☞ Anything online that you would expect to pay for is "free."
Unexpected events
☞ A file is downloaded automatically when you visit a web page, with no other action on your part. Delete any such file without opening it.
☞ You open what you think is a document and get an alert that it's "an application downloaded from the Internet." Click Cancel and delete the file. Even if you don't get the alert, you should still delete any file that isn't what you expected it to be.
☞ An application does something you don't expect, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
☞ Software is attached to email that you didn't request, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will necessarily result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Any of the above scenarios should, at the very least, make you uncomfortable.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it—not JavaScript—in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a padlock icon in the address bar when visiting a secure site.
Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
7. Never install any commercial AV or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they are all worse than useless. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store—nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial AV products?
☞ To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. This technique is a proven failure, as a major AV software vendor has admitted. Most attacks are "zero-day"—that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based AV does not defend against such attacks, and the enterprise IT industry is coming to the realization that traditional AV software is worthless.
☞ Its design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere. In order to meet that nonexistent threat, commercial AV software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
☞ By modifying the operating system, the software may also create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
☞ Most importantly, a false sense of security is dangerous.
8. An AV product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject low-level code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
An AV app is not needed, and cannot be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful, if at all, only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not really effective, because new Windows malware is emerging much faster than OS X malware.
Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else. A malicious attachment in email is usually easy to recognize by the name alone. An actual example:
London Terror Moovie.avi [124 spaces] Checked By Norton Antivirus.exe
You don't need software to tell you that's a Windows trojan. Software may be able to tell you which trojan it is, but who cares? In practice, there's no reason to use recognition software unless an organizational policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in every email attachment until proven otherwise. Nevertheless, ClamXav or a similar product from the App Store may serve a purpose if it satisfies an ill-informed network administrator who says you must run some kind of AV application. It's free and it won't handicap the system.
The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user, you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither can you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. Navigating the Internet is like walking the streets of a big city. It can be as safe or as dangerous as you choose to make it. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices. -
I have a Airport Extreme that is dropping the wireless signal alot (several times a day) The green light will go amber, but the internet service is still ok if your using an ethernet cable directly plugged in. When the light goes amber all devices that is using wireless will lose there wireless icon. The only way to get the green light back is to unplug the Airport device and replug it back in. I tried the reset on the back but still no luck. What is the fix?
Let's see if I can get this straight.
You have an Airport Extreme base station that is set to "Create a wireless network" and you have the box checked for "allow this network to be extended"....
Then you have an Airport Express that is set to "Extend a wireless network" which you selected the name of your network in the box...
Correct?
See this Apple document:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4259?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
The wireless unit on the right of the diagram can be either of the newer Apple base stations.

Airport Extreeme 5th generation, firmware 7.6.4 crashing several times a day (no interference)
Call me unlucky, but I'm here just for solving AirPort Extreeme... issue. Here is my setup:
- My IPhone mic stopped working recently, so I decide to use it as wireless survellance cam connected with Airport on 2.4Ghz
- I also own Retina laptop mid 2012 (with ghosting screen connected to 27" Thunderbold with wierd spots on matrix which appeared 6 month after purchase) and laptop by the way connected on 5Ghz
- I have some generic 3Tb usb drive connected to AirPort Extreeme...
- And some generic laptop connected on 2.4Ghz which does pretty much nothing
- (The only device I never had issue with is IPad 2 but it's not connected)
So, an app on laptop takes a snapshot from camera every 15 seconds and it's 500kb tops, so it goes from IPhone to Extreeme... to Laptop and then from Laptop to Extreeme... connected harddrive. What happens is Extreeme... reboots several times a day and sometimes it hangs after reboot which makes me climb to manualy unplug from power... any suggestions?
P.S. Support is my last bet choosing Apple products in a future, I never asked for it before this is the very first time, Im busy person, but hey for $6000 I spend on Apple products should I expect some quality, reasonable question isn't it?
Thanks,
Max.Unfortunately there are some products that have issues.. but you have had a really bad trot. I think if it was me I would be screaming my head off. Have you rung Apple and got some progress in getting these things looked at. The Thunderbolt display to begin with.. take it to the genius and let them check it.. I am not sure if the phone is out of warranty but apple can be generous at times.. especially if you have $6000 of faulty products.
For your particular problem with the Extreme, I would simply downgrade to 7.6.1 firmware.. the latest firmware does not always work the greatest. And do a factory reset after that. Setup again with all names, short, 2-20 characters, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. I would also lock down as much of the stuff that is on auto as possible. So use a different name for 5ghz.. lock the channels manually. You can try several, 11, 6, 1 at least for 2.4ghz.. and around 40 and around 150 for 5ghz.
Sometimes locking the mode to slower speed, just to see if that helps is worth it. -
Network Connection Suddenly Drops Several Times Per Day
We have a couple of macs in our office whose network connections drop several times per day. The two main ones are both 1.66 GHz Intel Core Duo Mac Mini's — one running OS 10.4.8 and the other 10.4.9. Our server is a Windows
Server 2003 Pentium 4, 3 GHz computer and we use a Linksys 24 port 10/100 Ethernet switch. On occasion, someone else's mac drop their network connection but it seems to be much more frequent with these two. Our other macs are a mixture of other Mac Mini's, iMacs, G4's, etc. all running either OS 10.4.8 or 10.4.9.
Any ideas??????
Thanks,
Neil Brown
iMac 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)The network connection is still dropping with switching around. In addition, starting this morning, my network connections as well as another person's are dropping suddenly too. The only pattern I can see with mine so far is it seems if I am away from my computer for a few minutes and come back, my network connection has dropped (i.e. the individual "shares" that I have mounted on my desktop, so I have to go back to Connect to Server, log in and mount those again). Our ethernet switch is new, and we had been experiencing this problem before with our old switch, so that didn't solve the problem.
I'm not sure what to try next. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Hello, I have a 2009 iMac, and my harddrive has failed several times now.
I tired to reinstall snow leopard with the install DVD that came with my iMac. However the disc is damaged so I bought a new Snow Leopard but my iMac wont read the new disc, it just stays in the apple logo screen, I have tired safe boot, holding down the "C" key on startup and tried using disc utility but getting nowhere.
Please help. Thanks.Might be related, if your hard drive is a 1TB drive,it could be a Seagate drive.
The drives are known to fail and your iMac maybe covered for free replacement under the Apple's Seagate hard drive replacement program until April 12 of this year.
I Believe the 2009 models are covered under this replacement warranty.
You can find out if you are eligible here.

IMac Freezing Several Times a Day
My iMac is freezing several times a day. It started out just when I went to wake it from sleep in the morning, but now it is more often. I read about similar issues on the discussion boards and have taken the following actions: I have gone into Disk Utility and run "Verify Disk" and received "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be ok." I also used the Activity Monitor to check CPU activity, RAM availability, Hard Disk availability, etc. and everything seems fine there (57.4 GB open). However, when I checked Console Messages, there have been none since 1/16 at 4:37pm. It has been over a month since the freezing issue has been going on (& becoming more frequent) so I wonder if there is a relation/cause there? Any help welcome -- thanks!

Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free Disk space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem & the Startup right after that for clues.
In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts? -

I have used several versions of firefox and each one freezes several times each day on my Imac. The only add on I use is the Ebay sidebar. When Firefox freezes the only answer is to "force Quit".
I do not have this problem with any other search engine (safari, opera,chrome).http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs
