Macbook airport keeps disconnecting

I have a first gen macbook pro retina running on 10.8.3. I have been having this issue of the wifi dropping in and out ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion. It's really frustrating. I called apple and couldn't offer me any help since I'm no longer under warranty. I've noticed it happen no matter if its my internet at home or the internet at a local starbucks it never fails to drop out on me! I've tried removing the wifi networks and adding it back on....restarting the router, turning the airport on and off cures it for a second or two and then its back to disconnecting.... Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?
Thanks in advance!

Hey Jesselyn87,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. The best way is to troubleshoot the issue with the Airport card but using the following article. It does say for Lion but the troubleshooting steps will be the same for Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8).

Also this article is helpful to make sure it isn’t something that is just isolated in your user.

Airport keep disconnecting every few minutes

Hi,
I don't know why, but my airport keeps disconnecting every few minutes, although it reconnects after that.
I'm sure there's no problem with my router since other PCs in my home are fine.
It's totally fine when I use my windows in the macbook (via bootcamp).
Anyone has the same problem or anyone knows the solution?
Thanks.

I've had this issue for about a week and it has made my Macbook nearly impossible to use for anything other than local disk work.
Last night I tried running the standalone upgrade and it worked beautifully, however, upon booting up this AM I'm back to square one, constantly dropping the connection, ran the standalone update again and back in business with no drops.
While this is appears to be my temp workaround I don't want to be doing this on a daily basis.
HELLO APPLE what is the deal ?

Is the 2.53Ghz New 13inch macbook pro powerful enough ?

Is the 2.53Ghz New 13inch macbook pro powerful enough for basic photo/video editing ?
Sincerely

No problem paulcurtis. Typical story, if I'd waited a couple of weeks or a month, I could have gotten for 300 less a refurbed 2.53 with the discreet video card with 512 MB of vid ram. As it is, I have a discreet card with 256.
All the MBP from late 2008 onward have a Nivdia 9400 Video chip on-board, meaning integrated with the motherboard. These cards share 256MB of ram with system ram. The extra discreet card is a Nivdia 9600 card. My model came with 256MB of its own dedicated ram. So when I'm on battery, I use the 9400 because it uses less electricity. When plugged in I use the 9600 with 256 as it provides significantly better performance. I believe that when Snowbird comes out, that apps written for it, especially creative apps, such as Photoshop, Final Cut Express, Aperture or Lightroom, or going to put more of the processing onto the video card. In that case the more ram on the video card the better.
If I was buying today, I would get a refurbed 2.53 or 2.66 with the 512 MB version of the card. Now you can get those same models for the price I paid for my 2.4. they also come with more Ram 4GB and more onboard cache 6MB as opposed to 3. The cache is the fastest memory on the system and like ram, the more the merrier. Don't get me wrong, I love this Macbook and don't regret the purchase at all. In fact it's become my main computer now. but that's the way of computer world.
The refurbed macs are a real deal, in my view. And if you are going to do any kind of Photoshop or use so-called "Pro" apps beyond iLife, the dedicated graphics card will be a plus. Likewise for playing games.
Hope that helps.

Macbook air keeps disconnecting from internet when going to sleep mode

New macbook air keeps losing Internet connection when going into sleep mode. Have tried deleting and re adding network and adding DNS 8.8.8.8 still is disconnecting.
Also, since Lion update 2 days ago Internet is very sluggish
HELPPPPPP!!!

You're not the only one. See here:

The current fix is to turn off sleep mode or use an Ethernet cable.

Why does macbook pro keep disconnecting from wifi every 10-20 minutes?

It keeps disconnecting and I have to restart macbook pro so it works again.

It keeps disconnecting and I have to restart macbook pro so it works again.

Why does my macbook pro keep disconnecting from the internet?

For whatever reason my Macbook pro 15in keeps disconnecting from the internet everytime it goes to sleep. And sometimes when I wake it up, I have to turn wifi on and off a couple times to get it to detect the right signal. This does not happen with my playstation or my phone so it has to be a problem with the Macbook itself. Can anyone give me any information on how to fix this problem? Anything would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, amal111.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is an article that I would recommend going through when experiencing Wi-Fi connectivity issues. Also, make sure all firmware updates have been processed on the router and the settings have been adjusted to the recommended settings in the second article below.

New 13inch Macbook Pro wobbly on surfaces

Ok I bought a 13inch Macbook Pro last Monday the 19th. In the few days I've had it I've noticed that it won't sit right on flat surfaces. When closed, its the back right corner that feels like its raised. When opened it feels like its the front left corner. I know I need to go the apple store but for me thats a pretty long drive. Anyone have any experience with this? Is this something where they will just replace it with a new one or are they gonna want to ship this off?

off?"
I do not know what Apple will do. Regardless of Apple's action, you need to get the computer to them. Your choices are to visit the Apple store, or call Apple and have them send you a box.

HT4628 After installing the new OS from apple (10.8.2) my macbook pro keeps disconnecting from the internet. I am connecting with an Airport Extreme and while it shows I am connected, every 20-45 seconds its searching for a wireless connection. Any sugg

I guess I posted my question as a title but that is my issue. My airport is connected via wireless yet it keeps searching for a wireless connection, hence I am experiencing bad latency and disconnection issues. Anyone know a solution?

I have the same problem. And in my case it happens when i transfer "large" files over the WiFi. When i send an MP3 filer over Skype i loose connection. When i transfer updates between my iPhone 5 / iPad 3 and iMac with Mountain Lion i loose connection. When i have a video conference i loose connection. You get the idea.
There is usually like 30 people using their own router on the 2.4 GHz band near by. None on the 5 GHz band which i use. But when my WiFi freezes on ML i can only see my own router. And i am also connected to it. But all my neighbors WiFi routers are now invisble to me. My network stalled.
What i do is that i disconnect my WiFi and then reconnect it again. Thank fixes it. But all my transfers and what not has been dropped. And i have to start all over - and the WiFi will stall again.
While my WiFi is frozen on the iMac with ML i have no problem using the same router on the same 5 GHz band with my iPhone 5 or iPad 3.
Downgrading the AirPort Extreme to 7.6.1 from 7.6.3 helped a bit. Now i only loose connection a few times each day.
It is a software error in ML i am sure of. A driver maybe. But i am suspecting that it is either a speed-sync error or an energy saving error. Like the network card turns of in the middle of a file transfer to save enrgy - maybe.
When i stream movies from my iMac to my Apple TV or 3 there is no problem at all. It is so odd.

My macbook pro keeps disconnecting from my airport

Hello Guys. So I am from Europe..Last summer i bought from America a Macbook Pro 13 mid 2014 and an Iphone 6. Two weeks ago i updated my products so i bought an Airport Express...(2)Everything was great(3) for one week...I was very happy(4) with my internet...After 1 week (5)everything was gone...It s been(6 and waiting) 2 weeks since i`ve tried everything...(still wainting for 6) I meaaaan everything...i`m gonna say immediatly what everything means..So i have connected to that airport my macbook,my iphone 6 and a Lenovo windows laptop (7)..The Lenovo has no issues...the internet is flying...but on the macbook pro and iphone 6 the internet is dead(8) (9). if i try to connect to another wifi...i have no issue...
So my mac its impossible to have a problem if i can stay connected to another wifi,my ISP cable shouldn`t have any problem if my Lenovo can stay connected to the wifi(17), and last option is the aiport...but the aiport is 3 weeks old..sooo...
The nu(10)mbers in (11) that i keep writing between the words are the disconnections.:( yep..it`s that bad..(12)
Everything:
- i turned off/on the wifi on mac
- i powered off/on the airport (13) express
- i changed the cable from the internet
- i deleted my wifi and created a new one after (14) (15)restarting
- i change my location
- i renew everything(16)
- i changed the airport on every , single , channel...13 channels for the 2.4 and 4 for the 5 ghz
- i did that thing with SMC..macbook closed and (18) command + option + esc.
- (19) (20) i closed the bluetooth off/on...its off everytime
- everything up to date. the mac the aiport the iphone
All of those and nothing..nooothing...It`s very annoying...I did everything i could find on the internet...

11" MacBook Air keeps disconnecting, losing IP address from WiFi

I just bought a brand new MacBook Air last week, installed all the updates on it from my home wireless network. I then try to use it on another wireless network, and sometimes it will connect, but then it always drops the connection and won't reconnect. Sometimes resetting the router helps for a little while, but then the same thing happens. I've hooked Windows XP laptops and an iPad up to this wireless network and they do not drop their connection like this. The Air is fully updated per Software Update, has the firewall turned on, and has a bluetooth mouse in use. I set IPv6 to off in the Network preferences. The wireless device is a Linksys 610N, but its set to 2.4GHz since the iPad can't do Wireless N.
What can I try to resolve this? Most settings on the router are set to their defaults or auto, so not sure if its a specific setting the Air doesn't like or what.

Just for information of the thread, I have a new mid-2011 MBAir (4.2) with Lion which also experienced this problem straight out of the box. As described here, I have the same symptoms of appearing to be connectedd but not being able to send/receive. The only way I can resolve this is to disconnect and reconnect to the access point. Sometimes (like now) that will be ok for 30 minutes or more. Other times, it will drop out straight away again.
As I've posted in one of the other threads, the thing that annoys me about this is that there are so many forum threads dedicated to this all over the internet (for many years), but there appears no action from Apple on it - preferring to ignore it's customers problems. While I've been a Apple user for a few years, this is my first Mac purchase and it has left a bitter taste in my mouth to say the least. I've been using a MBPro for a couple of years and never had any such problem (in the same network).
Also for information of some of the other posters - I experience this on a 'G' access point, so the issue is not isolated to N/G switching. Additionally, 'N' WiFi in itself does not necessarily have shorter range through walls - 'N' operates on two frequency bands: 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, while 'G' operates on the 2.4Ghz only. While certainly the 5Ghz band should get poorer penetration through walls and other obstacles, the advanced technology used in 'N' WiFi should more than be able to make up for that - it uses very sophisticated muti-path signal recombining and other tricks which should make it effectively more sensitive and able to sustain much higher data rates despite significant signal attenuation. Depending on the particular obstacles and range you're talking about though, each case can be different.
I've done some network captures on my problematic MBAir, and at other points in my network to see if I can identify the problem. Once I get the phantom dropout happening I notice that my Air's WiFi can still receive network traffic normally, as it sees all transmissions from other network devices around it. Also, it thinks it is still connected to the network (as it should - the network manager shows an active connection) and it tries to send packets onto the network when you make particular requests. It appears to me that these packets never actually make it out into the network, and it just keeps re-trying until it eventually times-out.
While I accept other causes are possible, this leads me to believe that the problem is with the Broadcom wireless driver. As for how the same problem can be faced by many different generations of Mac - I would hazard a guess that it is likely that, always having used Broadcom WiFi chips, that there are large parts of shared code between the driver for various models, allowing for problems to be inherited down generations. Identifying the specific issue in the driver leaves many and complex possibilites, so I won't speculate further here, but it seems like a good place to start.
Apple? Where are you on this?

Can I play call of duty on my new 13inch macbook pro corei7?

I bought my new macbook pro 13inch corei7 2 month ago.
in "Tech Spec" we see this : " Graphics : Intel HD Graphics 3000 processor with 384MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory " and no memory graphics!! Is it mean that I can`t play video games like fifa games and call of duty?
I`m actually sad right now! I wish I`ll run that games on my laptop....
Answer me please....

No.
If you wanted a 3D gamers laptop, you needed a 15"/17" 2.2/2.3 Ghz with the Radeon 6750M in it. (scores 30)
The 15" 2.0 Ghz scores 18.
Your best option now since you blew your wad on the 13" MacBook Nothing, is to get yourself a PS3 or a Windows 7 64bit 4GB RAM expandable desktop machine and a 3D gamers card.
Were as your Intel HD 3000 scores a measly 11 on the Cinebench scale, you could get a Windows tower and peg it out at up to 90 with the right video card.

New Aluminium MACBOOK - Airport Extreme adapter very high pitch scream! Oww

I have just connected my Netgear Wi Fi router to my PCin order to get the internet on my Brand new MACBOOK. Unbelieveably I found this very easy once I had the necessary kit but to my dismay the Airport Extreme adapter on the the MACBOOK has started to scream at me in a way that is almost unbearable to listen to. The noise is that of a sinclaire spectrum loading but at a very high pitch so it pierces the ear drum! I am currently sitting with my finger in one ear to try to protect my brain from the savagery. Does anyone else have the same problem? none of my other Wi Fi adapters sound like this, is there anything I can do to stop this?
Please Help

If anyone's interested, this seemed to have to do with WPA-PSK encryption. Turning it off seemed to work. Don't want to run unencrypted, so I'm using the Netgear USB dongle thingie instead of the airport card for now.

Big problem with macbook battery: keeps disconnecting

Here's what i posted on another mac forum i go on. i noticed some people with the same problem on here but thought i'd post as they aren't all exactly the same:
just to fill you in first, i have a dec 07 2.2Ghz macbook which is totally stock and i have applecare
i noticed this last nite, suddenly my screen went off. i was confused and pressed a key on the keyboard and it came back up, thn went back off again. it did this a few times, until i noticed the battery icon had a little 'x' in it. when i plugged in the power supply it stopped doing it, but when i disconnected the power it did it again. i turned it off, removed the battery, put it back in and carried on as normal for a few hours, then went to bed.
i get up this mornin and start surfing the net and 10 minutes in it disconnects again :s i scrolled over the battery with the 'x' in it this time and it says something like 'no battery available'. now the strange this is i've been writing this for about 5 mins and it keeps coming up with the battery not available, but seems to stay on :s
anyone know what this could be? warped battery or something?
i was planning on ringing apple up sometime anyway, as i discovered a massive heat crack the other day so will probably give them a ring in the next couple of days when i get the chance.
thanks for any help

I have just joined this forum to research this very issue. In the past 2-3 days I have encountered the same problem with my 2 gig macbook (purchased feb. 2007. It will not function with battery only, even though all 4 test LED's are green. Just before it stopped functioning on battery I noticed an 87% charge indication.
In the previous 2 weeks I have also encountered an intermittent wireless internet connectivity, which is now to the point that it is just easier to plug in to the net to get reliable coverage, and even that can be slow.
First things first, is there any easy solution to the power issue?
