On initial startup, wi-fi not connected, must restart

Whenever I start up the iMac, the wi-fi fan is blank, and the error message says wi-fi hardware not connected.  After I restart, everything works fine.  Minor issue, but it would be nice if everything worked fine on initial startup.

A couple of things to check are System Preferences - Network and make sure the Remember networks this computer has joined box is checked. Then ensure your network is the top choice in the Prefered Networks choice.
Also if you are in the habit of restarting your mac daily I'd recommend re-reading your manual where it clearly says:
Putting Your iMac to Sleep
If you‘ll be away from your iMac for less than a few days, put it to sleep. When your iMac is in sleep, its screen is dark. You can quickly wake your iMac and bypass thestartup process.

  • SCOM 2012R2 - Alerts Not Generating, Must Restart SCOM to Resolve

    Hi TechNet,
    I am having an issue with my SCOM 2012R2 where the system goes into a state where alerts are not generated.  We start to see events like the one below leading up to the point where this happens. This is resolved by restarting our SCOM MS. Is there another
    solution besides having to restart our SCOM MS every day?

    From within Photoshop Elements, when I try to open Editor, a box opens that states I must activate the software.  I registered and activated the software last year.  When I click to activate, I get a message that I am not connected to the internet.  I am connected.  How do I get Editor to work?

    You would get the redemption code, or perhaps even the serial number, from whomever you purchased the software from, apparently Amazon, so talk to them.  This wouldn’t be the first time they’ve sold something that didn’t have all the numbers needed to license it.
    A redemption code is something that is usually on the inner disc packaging if you purchase the media in a box, and there is a barcode on the outside of the packaging that must be scanned at the checkout register to activate the hidden inner code so you can redeem it at home on that website.  This is what happens if you buy PSE from a brick-and-mortar store like Best Buy.  I don’t’ know what happens if you purchase the downloaded version as I have never done that.
    A redemption code is 24-digits of letters and numbers that you enter into a website to get a serial number, once and only once.  The serial number of only 24-digits, no letters, is what you enter into the software during the install or when you run it and it asks if you want to register or run in a trial mode—whatever the exact phrasing is.
    In any case it sounds like you don’t have either a redemption code or serial number—although perhaps something is listed on the purchase confirmation or your account online at Amazon or even in an e-mail from Amazon.

  • Apple TV will stream music but will not connect to iTunes library to stream movies or podcasts.  During the unsuccessful connection process, iTunes becomes unresponsive and must be forced to quit.

    Apple TV 3 will stream music via Home Sharing from iTunes on Mac running 10.6.8 but will not connect to iTunes library to stream movies or podcasts.  When trying to connect, iTunes becomes unresponsive and must be forced to quit.  ATV will stream movies purchased through the ATV but not those purchased through or ripped/copied onto the Mac.  I've tried fixes suggested for similar problems (rebooting ATV and Mac, signing out then back into iTunes Store) to no success.  Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    This is the most bogus example of Apple rip-off EVER.  They do not advertise this *feature* and yet expect people to invest in an Apple ECOSYSTEM?  My experience with Apple TV using a central media "server" (a dedicated Mac Mini) has been atrocious.  I continually get "Cannot connect..." messages and with typical Apple "it just works" mentality, there is no reason stated.  I HATE APPLE TV and I HATE APPLE.  Peddle your crapple somewhere else.

    Hi,
    For no apparent reason my phone stopped working...so I did a reset and got the message 'Restore Needed'. I connected to iTunes and got this message: 'iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on your iPhone before it can be used with iTunes'.
    The problem is, I can't enter my passcode because I'm not given that option on the iPhone. All I seem to be able to do is make an emergency call.
    It's been working fine otherwise. Any suggestions?
    This is the SECOND replacement iPhone I've had this week and I'm getting a bit fed up.
    Thanks in advance for any help,

    Are you referring to the 4 digit passcode needed to enter the phone and use it's features?
    If so reboot your iPhone and enter the passcode to get it operational.  Launch Image Capture on the Mac and connect the iPhone.  Now you should be able to download the video files to wherever you want on your hard drive.

  • On startup Apple TV tells me that I am NOT connected to a network.  Settings says I am.

    I have two Apple TV units.  Until the last couple of weeks they have both worked fine. No hardware has changed but now they both have the same problem. On startup Apple TV tells me that I am NOT connected to a network.  Settings says I am.  Both the MOVIES and TV columns fail to appear on the main screen.  I cannot connect with HOME SHARE.   Network settings show I am connected to my wireless network.  When I auto configure my TCP/IP settings, it tells me that I'm connected.  But nothing works.   As a test I did connect the unit to an ethernet cable and everything worked perfectly (the cable was connected to a WIFI extender - proving that my WiFi IS working for other devices).  But I want to get back to wireless operation.  What's wrong?

    Having reread your post, i note you say you connected the thernet cable to a wifi extender, are you by any chance using the wifi extender when trying wifi and by extender do you mean a WDS extended network. I have seen quite a few reports that networks extended using WDS have problems.
    Although it may be a weak signal, are you able to temporarily disable WDS to see if this resolves the connection issue.
