New probs with connecting wirelessly

I'm looked at various other post, but can't seem to find exactly the same problem (sorry if I didn't look hard enough!)
Okay. So, at uni i've been connecting to the net via ethernet. that's fine.
At home however I use airport & wireless connection. This was all working fine last time I came home, I just open my mac select my network, input the password & i'm connected whenever I need to be - ie. i can open & shut my mac & reconnect to the network without re-inputting a pw or anything. it's just done.
But now, it's not working!
I have to go through network diagnostics & put my password in EVERY time I wake my mac & want to connect!
We've had a new router since I came home last, could this simply be the issue?!
The new one was sent from out ISP as an 'upgrade'... its looks exactly the same & is even the same model i think (i have no idea why they sent it to be honest...)
My dad's macbook pro has no trouble connecting to it without reinputting passwords or anything after sleep.
Anything anyone can think of that I can do?!
It's pretty annoying!
thanks

Since no one else has responded, I'll give it a shot...
I'd suggest going into Network Preferences for Airport, deleting the 'old' router name, and then add the 'new' router. Save the 'new' router password in your 'Keychain' when it prompts you, and in the Advanced setup, drag the 'new' router name to the top of the preferred networks.
Even though the routers might look exactly the same, they would have a different internal ID#'s, so to your MacBook it would be a different network than the old one.
Good luck!

I am using Photoshop CS5 on a new iMac with a wireless keyboard. I used to be able to hit F11 to perform a custom sharpening action but now the F11 key is the volume control key and I have tried everything to disable or switch the volume key. I have also tried assigning other function keys to initiate the action. Is there a simple solution to this? What am I missing?

Try unmounting the volume on your iMac using Disk Utility. Then mount it again. You may need to reboot the laptop or relaunch its Finder process (using the Force Quit window) after remounting the drive on your iMac. Remember that no process may be accessing any files on the drive you plan to unmount, or the unmount will fail. Unmounting and remounting an external drive on my iMac made it become visible on my MacBook Pro after it had disappeared.

Problem with connecting wirelessly

I'm using the linksys wrt54gs with a motorolla cable adapter to connect to cox internet. Right now I am typing on the computer that is connected physically to the linksys. The problem is that all my wireless devices have lost wireless connection at same time, 2 computers and ps3. I tried other deivices that connects wirelessly and they either don't connect or connect and say not internet avialbe. This problem was worse last time it occured because that time my main computer had to be connected straight to the motorolla. I am using LInksys easylink advisor and it shows a green line (internet that only goes to the desktop but shows a gray line to the other computers. This has happened a few times before and is there anything that can be done to avoid this in the future? The firmware on the router has not been upgraded at all

It is always recommended to upgrade/re-flash the firmware on the router.So, first upgrade/re-flash the firmware on the router and then check the connection on the computer.

Just got new T530 with wrong wireless card. Which model of Intel 6300?

Hey all, been surfing the google god for a few days but can't seem to find a secure answer that makes me happy. Just got a new T530 model 2359 laptop for my new job. Other then one stuck pixel that refuses to go away im pretty happy with it as I upgraded the CPU to the i5 3320 cpu model with the nvidia NVS 5400m GPU so it can power dual 24" monitors on my new Lenovo dock.
What sucks is that my manager got me the wrong wifi card, the standard thinkpad 1x1 b/g/n wireless card so I can't connect to 5ghz and or dual band routers like I have at my home which I really want for reliable and fast wireless cause I will be using it a lot around my work building as I do IT support for users so I wanna be able to use all the antenna's to help my range.
I took the laptop apart and I do see a third wire not connected to the thinkpad 1x1 mini card so should be able to use 3 antenna's on my T530? My big question is which 6300 card would the correct one for my T530? I know apparently there are "white label" cards from IBM that don't work in certain machines but considering I'm putting it into a IBM, I would think I would be ok?
Also, I do have an HD webcam buit in and I've heard that apparently some Thinkpad models you can't use three antenna and have the webcam working?
I'm curious if this white label centrino 6300 is the one I need

Can i use new TC to connect wirelessly to home network and plug my tv into the time capsule for internet connectivity?

My new tv needs to plug into an ethernet port for internet connectivity.
I'm hoping it can plug into my TC however my TC is wirelessly connected to my current home network... how can i get this to work?
TC version A1470 (i think, brand new)
Many thanks.
Ben

If the TC is connected to a wireless network provided by another Apple router, then the TC extends the network by default, and the Ethernet ports are enabled on the TC.
If the TC is connected to a third party network wirelessly, then it must have been setup to "join" the wireless network. When the TC is set up this way, the TC becomes a wireless hard drive and nothing more. The Ethernet ports are not enabled when the TC "joins" a wireless network.
So, a logical first troubleshooting step would be to confirm "how" the TC is currently set up. To do that.....assuming that you are using a current or recent version of AirPort Utility on your Mac.......
Open AirPort Utility
Click on the TC icon, then click Edit in the smaller window
Click the Wireless tab at the top of the window
Check the setting for Network Mode and report on that

Probs with connecting to itunes on windows after using a mac previously.

I had an iBook in the past and only connected my 60gb iPod through that, recently i've had problems with my iBook so its being repaired. So that i could add music to my iPod, i set up iTunes on my mothers laptop windows) and spent maybe £90 on songs to completely update my collection, but when i tryed to connect my iPod to it, a box just pops up saying "in order to sync this ipod, you will need to restore it" which of course i dont want to do, as i will loose the 2000 songs i already have on it, which i won't beable to put back as all of those songs are on my original source (ibook).
If anyone knows why this is happening, or has any tips to help, i would be so grateful. Thanks very much

I also reccomend MacDrive, but if you have a friend who has a Mac, maybe you can use some third party software and 'back-up' your music using software that will rip music from iPod to computer. Now that you have raw mp3's or m4p's you can use a hard drive, add those songs to your mom's computer, and there ya go, all your songs, requires a lot of hardware, and maybe if you dont have a friend with a mac, sneak into one of them Apple Stores, when the sales associates are busy, and you can do whatever you want on their computers.

Macbook won't connect wirelessly on home network

Hey guys,
I see that a lot of you are having the same issue I am. I have a Macbook that I got the summer of 2008. Up until Thursday, it would connect wirelessly to my E-wire router and network just fine. Then it quit. Later that night, I went up to school for a class, and it connected just fine to the wireless network up there, but will not connect wirelessly to my home network. I have since gotten a new router (Netgear) and reconfigured everything (again), including security and all updates. Airport shows that I am connected to my network, and I can load web pages when I am plugged into the router via ethernet cable (as I am now) but when I try to launch Mozilla or Safari wirelessly, I get the "Server cannot be found" error message.
I am connected to my network, I have tried shutting off Airport and restarting it, as well as quitting my browser and reopening it, and rebooting my Macbook all together. And I also went in and manually entered my IP address, which is what allowed me to connect to the network via ethernet cable in the first place.
Any theories why my Macbook (which is newer) won't connect wirelessly whereas my roommates older Macbook doesn't have any issue connecting wirelessly from right next to me? And I know that it's not an issue of too many people trying to be on the network at once, since it's just the two of us at most, and I'm the only one here right now.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

Is your router a model that supports a/b/g/n? If you turn off N will it work? If your N is setup at 40MHz slots it may not work as well. Can you take your wireless router somewhere else for testing? I assume you might have some issue where you are at with your Mac and that router. When you open Apple Menu/About this Mac/More Info../Network/Airport does it show your network there? From a working machine can you see your Mac from your router web interface? FYI if your router was an Apple product(Airport Express or Airport Extreme/Time Capsule) you could see all your wireless clients via the Airport Utility, even signal strength and connection speed...

New problem with wireless connection since 27th No...

Main desktop computer (windows xp) is connected directly to the internet via ethernet cable to BTHub3. No problem exists with this connection.
We have previously had no problem connecting Tablet, laptop, and internet radio via wireless connection to our Hub. Problems now exist with wireless connection to all of these devices:-
- When attempting to use any of the devices wirelessly, we are unable to obtain a connection to our Network (shown on the list of those available) - indicates - "out of range" or "obtaining IP address" or "authenticating" or "network disabled - poor connection"
- On occasions, the devices DO show that they are connected wirelessly but are unable to access the internet or use any programmes requiring an internet connection. Messages indicate - "no internet connection" or "connection timed out - retry" or "cannot access this webpage", even when we are in the same room as, and only a few feet away from the Hub.
- One anomaly has occurred in that the internet radio did connect and function normally on 2 occasions recently , for a duration of a couple of hours, before loosing the connection. However, during this time, the other devices still refused to connect.
Measures we have undertaken to try to resolve the problem are :-
- We have visited the "Wireless troubleshooting" part of the BT Helpdesk on several occasions, but had already tried the measures suggested here, including changing channels and hub reset.
- We have spoken at length to the BT tech. helpline who have been unable to resolve the problem.
- We have emailed BT Help and received a reply from India suggesting all the things that we have already tried (ie. a "stock answer").
- We are not confident enough to access the Hub Manager as we feel feel this is beyond our capability.
We would be most grateful if someone could help us.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Wingman2, the first thing I would do is uninstall BTDesktop Help if you have it installed. It can cause more problems than it solves.
I would also suggest that the first thing to try is a factory reset of the homehub by pressing a pin into the recess button on the rear for about 20 seconds.
After you have done a reset if you still have problems, download, install and run inSSider. It will show you the wireless channels and which one your Homehub is on. You want to find the channel with the least congestion, ie. least number of users. Once you have that you need to change your homehub onto that channel.
See link for insider. Use the free version.

See link how to change channel on homehub
http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/14094
After that if you are still having problems you could try setting the home hub to b/g only instead of b/g/n. If one of your devices is not "n" capable it could help.

New iphone 5s will not connect wireless to itunes

I recently upgraded from 4s to 5s on 2 units. The 4s would sync wireless to airport but both new 5s will not. Neither my phone or my wife's phones will connect wireless but will when connected. I have checked 'Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi' under Summary when connected by cable and other system settings on the phones seem to be in order. I have searched Apple site and believe all necessary steps have been taken.

I thought I should say something since I had the same problem with iTunes 11.1.3 connecting my iOS devices. iPhone 4, 5, iPad 4th gen, all on latest iOS7. My setup is on macpro 3.1. I tried updating OS, from OSX Lion, ML and Mavericks. Obviously, updating OS did not solve the issue. iTunes was the latest and greatest at 11.1.3 on all of them. I also had the annoying TRUST message pop up constantly, while it could connect to iPhoto, but no iTunes, for backup and syncing.
Long story short, found out on various forums people were having success syncing their iOS devices again on previous versions of iTunes. In my case, 11.1. Going back to 10.7, it will not support iOS 7. For this, you need to delete iTunes 11.1.3.
I found this helpful, but beware it involves Terminal.
http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/06/delete-itunes-mac-os-x/
Then, through good ol' google, I could fine a previous version of iTunes 11.1.
Installed it, connected my iPhone 5, and voilà, iPhone detected as before, and ready to backup and sync.
Spent many days researching this, it may not resolve the issue for everyone, but I hope it can help some folks running into a similar issue.

Hp laserjet Pro 200 M276nw won't consistently connect wirelessly with iMac

I'm on my second brand new hp laserjet Pro 200 M276nw in 3 days, it will not consistently connect wirelessly with my newly purchased (8days old) Apple refurbished 27" iMac on OSX 10.9, i7 chip & Fusion Drive. The hp laserjet will sometimes connect wirelessly immediately after clicking "print" on the iMac, but about half the time it says "printer not connected" & takes 2-4 minutes (or longer) before the devices do connect. I've called hp support many times, they're reset various things via remote takeover of my iMac, the printer will work for a few of minutes but then the same problem returns. AppleCare made sure I have the
correct Airprint driver installed & also checked my settings, but says they don't know why this is occurring. I've also verified that our newer (6 months old) AT&T router is functioning correctly.
My older hp laserjet (CM1312nfi MFP) has worked flawlessly since 2009 via USB connection with my old iMac (still on Snow Leopard), I assumed it would continue with the new one, but there is no software update for Mavericks & the scanning feature won't operate on the new iMac. Hp says it is a discontinued model. The new hp laserjet is a successor model to the older one, they are both very similar except for the new wireless feature.
I can print fast & wirelessly from the new iMac via a different new hp inkjet printer (8600 series) here in the house. This inkjet printer is less than a month old, I installed it myself for a Windows laptop here, it has never malfunctioned. Unfortunately it's upstairs & I do not like inkjet print quality, I need a good laserjet here in my office downstairs next to my iMac.

HI there
Did you manage to sort this issue out - as I have exactly the same problem.
Lots of similarities as I also have an inkjet 8600 which works via USB and wirelessly no problems at all!
I always buy HP printers as they are usually easy to set up - but this one is making me tear my hair out!
I've even upgraded to Yosemite and downloaded the new drivers from HP - no success. The printer will print one page and then become unavailable.
I can print via USB or wireless direct - but not just via my wireless network which is what I want to do!
No responses posted - so assume no one has a fix.
aaaargh!!!

Hi buddy,
> I kept O.S. original for a week and the problem was the same
If you had the same problem with factory settings you should test another router. Maybe its a malfunction of router or something else (not compatible to your WLAN card).
Furthermore ask the manufacture of your router if they know something about this.
In worst case its a hardware malfunction of your notebook. You should contact nearest service centre. I believe they can fix it under warranty, because A660 is pretty new notebook.
Good luck! :)

Setting up new HP Laserjet CP1525nw wirelessly with Time Capsule

Im having issues setting up my new HP Laser printer via wirelessly with Time Capsule. I have tried with the Wireless Client Setup
Assistant but cannot get it to work. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

I tried to get the CP1525nw set up on my computer here at the office and found, much to my chagrin, that the CP1525 is not supported under 10.7 and retroactively not supported under 10.6. The way that I have found to get around the issue is to connect it wirelessly via a static IP address and use a generic postscript driver. I'm hoping that they will release a driver to Apple soon, but until then, generic is the only way to go and I have not found any print quality issues.
