OSX Mavericks won't connect to Wifi automatically after recent (security) patch.
After the recent OSX Mavericks software update I am having wifi connectivity issues. My MBP (retina) won't connect to my preferred wifi automatically and I have to do it manually. Am I the only one having issues after the update and are there any fixes?
I am also having the same behavior, after updating to 10.9.3 WIFI won't reconnect.
I have to turn-off wifi, then turn-on wifi to get connected.

Mac OSX lion does not connect to wifi automatically
Hi there
My mac osx lion does not connct to wifi automatically , or when i open the lid it doesn't connect either...
could you please help me with this problem?Bump
is there anyone else with a Mountain Lion Mac and a TP-Link TL-WDR4300? I am almost sure that it's this combination that doesn't work. All other devices I have (Apple and non-Apple) can work perfectly on 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, but the settings on the WiFi adapter on the Mac are the same for all Wireless networks, so I just don't get why it would work on 5Ghz but not on 2.4Ghz...
Thank you -
Won't connect to wifi automatically
I have a Mac Book Pro. For some reason, it doesn't automatically to wifi. this was never an issue before.
Deleting all your preferred networks works - but there's an easier solution that preserves them.
1. Go to System Preferences > Network > Airport and Advanced > Airport
2. Turn Airport off
3. Scroll through the list to find your home network. For me it had mysteriously moved to the bottom of the list.
4. Drag it to the top of the list.
Hit OK and Apply to save your changes.
Turn WiFi back on and I bet your home network will reconnect lickety split. -
Some devices won't connect to wifi network after resetting network settings to default
Hi all,
I had to restore to the default settings on my 4th generation Time Capsule today and now half of our devices will not connect to the wifi network. The macbook pro (mid 2010 OS 10.9.4) that I used to reset the time capsule with and my iPhone 6 (8.0.2) both can connect just fine. However, our household's two iPad Airs (8.0.2), an iPhone 4s (iOS 7) and a Macbook (late 2009 OS 10.6.8) all can't connect to the internet. The macbook connects to the network, but an exclamation point appears over the wifi symbol. The two iPads and the 4s won't even connect to the network. I initially named the network the same as before with the same password, but then changed it thinking that might be the issue, to no avail. I've restarted the Time Capsule and all the devices that can't connect. I've also made them forget the network and try to rejoin. The router is connecting with DHCP, it is in bridge mode while connected to a cable modem, and the wireless security is set to WPA/WPA2 Personal.
I'm at my wit's end. Any help would be greatly appreciated.If your cable modem is a pure modem the TC must be in router mode.. ie DHCP and NAT.
It is easy to find out.. check the IP you get on the WAN of the TC in airport utility.
Your limit is because only one or two public IP are available.
If that is the not the problem please give more info.
What modem do you have??
And give some screenshots of the setup .. summary page from the TC and network and Internet tabs. -
Cannot connect to network servers after recent security update on OSX 10.5.8
I can no longer connect to others servers/PC's on the network at my brothers office. I had no problem the last time I was in there. The only thing that has changed is that I did the latest security upadate from Apple.
There should be no reason why I no longer access files from other devices on the network, that I previoulsy been able to access with no problems.
*** is going here APPLE?This not being an iTunes issue, I'd suggest you post in the Mac OS X 10.5 Networking forum. If anyone knows a fix, you'll probably find it there.
Good luck. -
Since the last updating of the system, my Ipad (model MC769C), it won't connect to wifi more than 5 minutes at a time until I reset the router. Anyone can help ?

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

My ipod touch won't connect to wifi at home and it use to, it keeps saying my password is wrong
My ipod touch won't connect to wifi at home, it use to work just fine, now it keeps telling me my password is wrong, but it can't be wrong because it is the same one I have always used. I also have an IPad2 that belongs to my daughter and it connects with our wifi at home with no problem. But, why is my wifi telling me that my password is wrong. I have tried everything, we have changed the pass word and that did not work. We have have taken security off of our wifi and my ipod touch give me another message, but it won't connect to my wifi at home. Please help... b/c the greatest thing for me is to be able to connect to wifi at home.
thanksI have even shut down my ipod touch to see if it fixes the lack of wifi connection at home but it keeps telling me my password is wrong. I can connect everywhere else, but not at home. Pls help my.. I need to connect at home. Does it matter if we have othere decives like ipads connected to the same wifi. Because we have an ipad2 and my ipod and up until 1 week ago, we had very little issues keeping both of our devices connected at home. Eitherway the ipad2 is still working just fine on our home wifi, but my ipod touch keeps refuseing to accept the password.
Pls help, i am very frustrated and I have tried everything. -
My MacBook Pro shut down unexpectedly and won't connect to wifi now.

My iphone won't connect to my home wifi. It say's connected but when i try and go online it say's unable to connect. I've tried forgetting the network, turning wifi off and on. The ip address is ok and my laptop connects ok.
Has anyone got any ideas about how i can fix it?I am having the same issues as GirlyGirl. Every other day or so my iPhone 3GS won't connect to wifi. Before I was showing the wifi signal as if it were attached but I couldn't surf Safari. Now even though under the wifi settings it shows I'm connected, I don't get the wifi fan showing I'm connected. I've done the following:
Renewed lease
Forgotten network
Reset Network Settings
Reboot my iPhone
Two days ago when I rebooted the router and Reset Network Settings it started working correctly.
I've been working with my internet provider, they tell me my firmware on my 2wire is up to date & the issue is definitely with my iPhone.
Security Settings: WPA-PSK (TKIP) and WPA2-PSK (AES)
My iPhone is attaching to the 169.x IP Address and the Subnet is 255.255.0.0. The router, DNS and Search Domains are blank.
Also to note, I changed the name of my device through the gateway router so I could identify it more easily. As of today it had defaulted back to the old name which is the ip address. Even if I don't change anything it isn't keeping those settings.
Other than restarting my router and taking everything down for 15 minutes each time, what else can I try? -

Hi there Ashton1334!
I have a couple of articles here for you that may address your issue. It seems like from your description that this article is going to be the most relevant, and it deals with Wi-Fi settings being greyed out or dim:

OSX Mavericks won't boot after changing user home folder
Hi guys,
I have a clean install of Mavericks on my macbook pro 17" and have two drives in. One is hdd (in place of superdrive) and the other is ssd where OSX is installed.
I have uset the following:
If you right-click on the User in the Users & Groups system preferences, choose "Advanced Options..."
You can then change the location of the home folder
to change location of my user home folder and set it up to be on the hdd but now OSX Mavericks won't boot. I get the progress bar on boot and it just freezes no matter how long I left it.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks!I managed to boot after dozen tries and restored the location of the home folder to where it was at the first place.
The thing is, on my second drive I have the whole user folder with data, settings and everything else in it and would really like to use it in the Mavericks.
I guess I could just copy it over the one in the Mavericks and it should be good?
Not sure, why this is the issue now since on previous OSX releases this home folder changing thing worked without problems :/
If anyone else have the solution for this problem please do feel free to let me know!
Thanks! -

My Ipad won't connect to wifi.
My Ipad (1st generation, iOS 7.1.2) won't connect to wifi. I've had the Ipad for two days, the first two days it worked perfectly fine with my wifi, but today it wouldn't connect. I tried getting back on to my wifi but it told me the password was incorrect. I have tried to enter the password multiple times, but every time it tells me its incorrect. It is the correct password and I have made sure I have been typing it in correctly, which I have. I'm not sure what the problem is, and I don't know how to fix it. Please help!
"My Ipad (1st generation, iOS 7.1.2) won't connect to wifi. I've had the Ipad for two days"
A first gen iPad can only be upgraded to iOS 5.1.1 so it may not be a first generation.
Tap Settings > General > About
Which version do you see ??
For iOS Wi-Fi issues ..
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
No data is lost due to a reset.
If nothing above has helped, try here > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections -
