Network settings lost after update to 10.5.7 after each shutdown

After my machine is shutdown or restarted my airport settings are lost and my mac fails to connect to my network. Each time I reboot the mavhine i have to manually enter the network details.
In my case, my router is not broadcasting the SSID (which is more safe) and airport is not recognize it anymore. the connection information stills on network preferences but the system does not use it, or does not check the SSID, or does not reconnect, or i dont know. So i have to manually enter the network details again
is there anyone with the same experience ???
brgds,

G'day Paulo,
The hidden SSID is [not much safer|http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/tutorials/article.php/3576541] than a broadcast one. It will stop only the most casual of snoopers from trying to get in.
Security will primarily come from a good WPA2 pre-shared key (64 bits long, nice and random, changed periodically). Even a determined hacker will find it very hard to get in with this.
With regard to your problem, it might be a good idea to delete the access point settings on your Mac, set the router to broadcast and then see what happens.
If you are determined to hide your SSID, you can do that after you get the basic connection working again.
Cheers,
Rodney

  • Network settings for ipod update

    I'm trying to get my i pod updated and I keep getting this error "Server can not be contacted. Make sure network setting are correct and try again" What doed that even mean?

    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • Itunes will not open after update, itunes will not open after update

    i have just updated itunes following trying to link my apple tv to itunes on my computer. i was advised an update was required first, agreed, and have not been able to open itunes since.

    Well then I would attempt a complete uninstall and reinstall of an earlier version of iTunes-
    should be able to find one somewhere.  Also review your automatic system restore settings
    for future problems.  I have used system restore multiple times for issues like this.
    It really is a quick fix.
    Do you have an Apple Store somewhere near where you live?  You could make an appointment to
    talk to a tech there.  I think that's free.

  • Is it possible to restore Gamecenter after update and restore?? After update, tried logging into Gamecenter and it says that the user name is already taken. Yeah, I know..... by me!!!

    One of my kids ipods needed an update. It wouldn't let me do it via the itouch (like the other 2 itouches did). I had to connect to the PC, sync, update and then restore. Once I did, the apps could be downloaded again via icloud (which wasn't on the itouch before) but progress on games that were through Gamecenter did not transfer. Tried logging into Gamecenter and it states the user name is already taken. Yeah, I know it's already taken, BY MY DAUGHTER!!! Apparently she has a dragon game app that she manages through Gamecenter that she has worked her way to level 22 and now it is all gone. It wants her to restart from level 1. I know this isn't life or death and not like losing work data etc. But to a 9 year old who has spent $40 of her own money on gems, coins etc....... this is the end of the world. LOL. I do want to try to help her, I just don't know how.

    Thank you. After posting I started to search for Backflip studios and found this support id. I had meanwhile created a new nickname, very similar to the original one, and requested that they swap the advanced world to the new id. I sent this last Saturday evening. This morning (so effectively on their first workday after my request!) I received a kind response from Rachael that they had swapped the parks. Like your daughter my son couldn't believe his eyes. Thank you for your post, original and reply, I hope others will find it too and that Rachael can keep up such excellent support. It means a lot...

    HI,
    You can setup your Yahoo account via Mac Mail.
    Open the Mail app. From the menu bar click Mail / Preferences then select the Accounts tab, then select *Account Information*. Click + at bottom of the window under Accounts.
    That way you don't need Safari to access your Yahoo mail account.
    Since you haven't updated your software as yet, you should do that. Bear in mind, the percentage of users that post with 10.6.5 update problems here are less then 1% of all Mac users. Being a tech support forum it's normal to see posts for help. But not everyone has problems with updates. Very difficult to compare one users experience to another given the mix of third party apps, peripherals, and devices. No two systems are identical.
    Click your Apple menu / Software Update... make sure and repair permissions after the updates are installed.
    Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    Always make sure there is enough free space on the startup disk. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.*

  • After updating firefox the first window after opening first time "checking compatibility of add-ons" window is froze won't progress pas 1/3 of completion

    I updated my fire fox on my MAC OS X to 3.6.6 version of firefox, everything went smooth till I open FireFox then the window firefox update opens up and about 1/3 through the process it gets stuck on Checking Compatibility of Add-ons and doesn't go any further. I have hit cancel and firefox opens but it doesn't open any web sites. I have removed firefox and re-installed and it is still doing the same thing. I have also let it run over night thinking it may just take a while and it never progresses, please advise, I am new to MAC but FireFox is the only browser on my mac that will open one of my business pages, known issue with mac for this company.

  • Logic Remote connectivity issues after updating to iOS 8 (solved!)

    Has anyone else has been experiencing connectivity issues with Logic Remote after updating to iOS 8?
    After updating to iOS 8 I could no longer connect so I sent a feedback report to Apple and got a response that cleared up my problem immediately:
    Navigate to the following directory on your desktop system running GarageBand:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10/Data/Library/Preferences/
    You can quickly navigate there using the “Go” menu in Finder -> Go To Folder (shift-command-G), then copy this path:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10/Data/Library/Preferences/
    In the Preferences folder should be a file named "com.apple.garageband10.cs”.
    Make sure GarageBand is not running and delete the  "com.apple.garageband10.cs” file.
    Relaunch GarageBand and see if you should now be able to connect.
    The same can be done for Logic by navigating to:
    ~/Library/Preferences/
    And deleting "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" and restarting Logic.
    Note that doing this will fix Logic Remote connectivity issues (and possibly other problems with latency and mixer functionality)  but will also delete any other Controller settings that you've configured with Logic, if you happen to be using another controller of some sort.

    Thanks very much!  This solved my connection problem.

  • After updating, I click on the icon and nothing happens. I am unable to find a solution in your "help" section.

    Last time I updated Friefox, all of my bookmarks and saved pages were gone. I was hesitant to update again. However, after repeated messaged to do so, I did. Now when I click on the Firefox icon, nothing happens. No page opens...nothing.
    I'm running Windows 7.

    Last time I updated Firefox, all of my bookmarks and saved pages were gone.
    If you have unsaved open pages you may loose them on a Firefox upgrade but you should not normally loose your bookmarks, unless for instance you do a new install and take one of the options that deletes personal information.
    I suggest as a precaution you back up your Firefox profile. This is something that is easier to do whilst Firefox is able to run; and it is good practice to do this periodically anyway; but it can still be done even when Firefox is not able to be run.
    * for instructions have a look at [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    * put the backup files and folders somewhere safe, where they may be found easily, but outside the Firefox program or profile paths. (Your Windows 7 Desktop is a suitable location).
    Now when I click on the Firefox icon, nothing happens. No page opens...nothing.
    Firefox not starting after an upgrade is often caused by firewalls or security programs either not recognising the new Firefox as being safe, or else blocking or even reversing changes made to your system and browser.
    Have a look at your security software and the security settings.
    *What security related software and firewall do you use ?

  • After Update Trigger executes twice when single row is uptd thro proc

    We have the below trigger in our db. When a single record is updated using a procedure the trigger is executed twice and it inserts two records in other table.
    But when i issue an update statement using any sql client tool it is executing only once and inserts only one record in other table.
    Can any one please help me to find the reason?
    Trigger:*
    create or replace TRIGGER CX_HEADER_ESCL_T1 AFTER UPDATE OF STATUS ON CX_HEADER
    FOR EACH ROW
    DECLARE
    "b1-CTRIYJ" boolean := FALSE;
    BEGIN

    VALUES('11111111', CURRENT_DATE, :NEW.row_id, '1-CTRIYJ', 'CX_HEADER', :NEW.last_upd_by, '1-2CU3');

    IF ChildRecordCount = CafeChildCount THEN
    update SIEBEL.CX_HEADER set STATUS ='SUCCESS', MODIFICATION_NUM = MODIFICATION_NUM+1 where HEADER_ID=HeaderId;
    CompletionStatus := 'SUCCESS';
    ELSE
    update SIEBEL.CX_CHILD set STATUS='FAILED' where HEADER_ID=HeaderId;
    update SIEBEL.CX_HEADER set STATUS='FAILED' where HEADER_ID=HeaderId;
    CompletionStatus := 'FAILED';
    END IF;
    commit;
    /*CompletionStatus := 'SUCCESS';*/
    EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
    CompletionStatus := SQLCODE;
    rollback;
    END;

    Your problem seems not be related to the trigger restart issue I have already mentioned because you are using a AFTER UPDATE trigger and not a BEFORE UPDATE trigger:
    >
    BEFORE Triggers Fired Multiple Times
    If an UPDATE or DELETE statement detects a conflict with a concurrent UPDATE, then Oracle Database performs a transparent ROLLBACK to SAVEPOINT and restarts the update. This can occur many times before the statement completes successfully. Each time the statement is restarted, the BEFORE statement trigger is fired again. The rollback to savepoint does not undo changes to any package variables referenced in the trigger. Your package should include a counter variable to detect this situation.
    >
    If you are sure that you update a single row and that your trigger fires twice and if you can easiily reproduce the issue, I recommend that you contact Oracle Support and create a Service Request for your issue that could be an Oracle bug.
