OSX Yosemite wifi issues

Running:
Model Name: MacBook Air
Model Identifier: MacBookAir6,2
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 1.7 GHz
Yosemite 10.10.1 (14B25)
The constant wifi problems from switching locations and having the wifi drop are causing major issues. I have to shutdown wifi then restart ever time I change locations in my office.
If I move more than 10 ft. (switching wifi hubs) my wifi will look like its working but I actually get no connectivity.
Since this has been months since the

This is SOO annoying. Mavericks had its issues with JUMBO Frames that was never fixed but this is crazy now. Last night I upgraded to Yosemite from Mavericks. Now I can see my 5Ghz SSID but only have internet for 30 seconds at best. I don't even see my 2.4GHz network at all. If I toggle Wifi on and off I see the 2.4 for a moment and then gone. I removed all favorite wifi's and manually configured the 2.4 and will not connect. Removed that one and tried 5Ghz and same 30 seconds. I have done all updates, I have restarted numerous times and no go!
I did a fresh (clean) install. I formatted the HDD and had the original Lion install by default that came with the unit. It booted, had internet fine and then upgraded straight to Yosemite and immediately no wifi. Can anyone say if they did a clean install but from Mavericks and upgraded to Yosemite with same results??
What kills me is that apple doesn't seem to be giving ANY information out, no acknowledgement, and certainly no fix yet. I feel more and more like I am purchasing Microsoft Products where I am beta testing. If apple knew in Beta releases this was an issue with ALOT of people, they should not have released this yet! My laptop is my business and I am now tethered to a cable for everything!
Bluetooth disabled made no difference for me. Also I found that if I disable wifi while using my ethernet it will disconnect connectivity from ethernet until I unplug and replug...
APPLE ??? I guess I should just make some apple juice? or can I get some lemons??

OSX Yosemite Wifi FIX!!

I found a way to fix the wifi issue on my iMac which i upgraded from maverick to Yosemite OSX. I got fed up with all the fixes that didn't fix the problem so I opened app store and re-downloaded Mavericks.. I noticed that for two hours my wifi didn't drop once. then within 2 minutes after download it disconnected...... So after a thought, i opened my torrent program and let 1 file seed at .2K and magically no wifi issue as long as something is always using the connection....

Try the workaround suggested in this article: http://tidbits.com/article/15273?rss

Any other troubleshooting steps for Yosemite WIFI issues?

I've spent several hours this weekend at my friend's house trying to fix the WIFI issues on her Macbook. I had installed some software on it recently (Chrome, Plex, Teamviewer) and I removed all of it just in case there was a conflict (Plex being the only thing I could think might be causing an issue with the Plex server running.) I then realized she had upgraded to Yosemite and found out there seems to be a lot of WIFI issues going on. I've come across several blogs with troubleshooting steps and here is what I've tried so far:
-Reset the modem to factory settings
-Toggled the checkbox to authenticate changes in networks
-Renewed DHCP lease
-Disabled Bluetooh
-Removed network configuration and preference files (and later restored the backups I had of them)
-Created a new WIFI location with a custom DNS
-Unloaded/reloaded discoveryd files
I wasn't able to get any kind of WIFI connection between removing the network configuration and preference files and unloading / reloading the discoveryd files but then I plugged into the ethernet after reading there were some conflicts with Apple applications so I re-installed Chrome and the WIFI started working again for a little bit. I am typing this from my Macbook still running Mavericks on the same WIFI connection so I'm fairly sure this incident in 99% Yosemite and nothing else on the computer. I'm willing to try any other intermediate troubleshooting. She needs her computer a lot this week (works from home and has a big event this weekend) so I am going to hold off on the fresh OSX Yosemite install or an attempt to downgrade to Mavericks again - fingers crossed the update is out before that becomes a necessity.
Thanks for reading!

OSX Yosemite wifi connection issues

Hello,
i have a MacBook Pro (late 2011) with OS X 10.10.3.
I use the MacBook in a office enviroment in a WPA2-Enterprise WiFi with authentication over a Free-Radius server.
Every 30 minutes to one hour my connection to the wifi drops, sometimes it reconnects immediately and I only realize i got a disconnect because a download stopped but sometimes it can't reconnect for a couple of minutes.
I tried the obvious solution like restarting the MacBook and deleting the WiFi profile.
Currently my investigation focus on the AP we use in our company (D-Link DWL-8600AP). I tried using a spare Router and I was able to keep my connection to the WiFi.
The Question I have is is it possible that the Access Point has problems with Macs or if it is another one of the Mac WiFi problems.

Hello there, 39Steve.
The following Knowledge Base article reviews how-to troubleshoot your Wi-Fi not connecting after waking from sleep. Aside from the basic steps, feel free to review the section entitled: Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly as it has a part that deals with not connecting to Wi-Fi after waking from sleep:

Yosemite wifi issue.

So... I messed with the Launch Daemon folder on my Mac, and after I was done, I pasted all the Daemons I removed back into the folder. But now, I am unable to connect to new Wifi routers (there is no option), and I also cannot turn off wifi, it is always on. EtreChecker says these are crashing on the bottom and that is what I'm suspecting. Thanks for the help!

Hello Henfish,
That is not good. I would recommend reinstalling OS X Yosemite because if you could not undo what you just have done, then it would be a good idea to have a fresh version. When you do this, it will not erase anything and just install OS X on top of what you already have.

OSX Yosemite Wifi issues

Wifi problem with OSX Yosemite

I owned my first 13 inch MBP Late 2011 that came with OSX Lion. I upgraded my MBP with every new OSX releases and were very pleased with them.
With OSX Yosemite, I was very happy with the fresh new feel and looks of it. The problem with the new OSX it that my wifi connection suffers from it. The speed are getting slower and slower and the connection often drop off unexpectedly. The worst thing of all is that I can't connect to my windows phone wifi sharing. This doesn't happen with the previous OSXes. Please rectify this problem as soon as possible. Thank you.

I reinstall the Yosemite due to the wifi issue, when finished, the iMovie was not installed, I try to download it from app store, but it's not free. How can I get iMovie back?

I'm using a mid 2014 13" rmbp. I reinstall the Yosemite due to the wifi issue, when finished, the iMovie was not installed, I try to download it from app store, but it's not free. How can I get iMovie back?

It's something to do with the main user account (not iTunes account) on my Mac because I logged in with another account and it downloaded fine, I installed it on the HDD and even though the date in App Store was 16th October 2014, it is the full installer of 10.10.2.
To try to resolve this problem, I have copied the installer app elsewhere and deleted it but App Store still will not allow me to download it with my main user account yet just allowed me to update iTunes.
I had a brainwave last night that it might have been related to me changing the default downloads folder to one not on my boot drive (to save disk space on my main boot drive) but having changed it back, tried again, rebooted and tried yet again, deleted my App Store preferences. nothing has worked.

Yosemite 10.10.1 update did not fix my wifi issue, did it fix yours??

The discussion about wifi issues is nothing new since Yosemite came out. Today I installed the latest update (10.10.1) which was to help with wifi issues such as your wifi dropping. I have tried every remedy that has been posted and nothing has worked. I constantly have to re-connect to my wifi network while on my computer. I guess I will sit patiently until this is resolved. I was excited to see the new update but after downloading and installing it, I see that nothing has changed. I have an iMac (2013) and have never had internet issues until I installed Yosemite. I hope the update helps you but it didn't help me.

Hi everyone,
I am trying to create a secure network on my MB air with OS X Yosemite?
Any ideas?
In the pervious OS version when you create a network on from the WIFI icon on the top of the desktop, there are
1) network name
2) channel
3) type of password
4) key in password.
Now with OS X yosemite, there is only
1) network name
2) channel
When the network is created there is not IP.
I am trying to use "airserver" a third party app to help project my iPad air to my MB air.
I am trying to do this when I am conducting the class and I would like to record my lesson.
Please advise.
My way of getting around this is to use Airport Express and create my own network that link MB air and iPad air.
But i do not want to look like a gadget guys and bring so many hardware to class... haha...
Hope someone have an alternative.
Cheers,
Andy

After updating my mac book pro to the osx yosemite.am getting some issues after starting up.as soon as it gets on the destop the screen start blinking and i cant do anything.Please help me!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Wifi issues after upgrading from Maverick to Yosemite. No solutions have worked.

I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.1 from Mavericks. Having wifi issue where I can't connect to my home network. It connects for 5 seconds than I get "no IP address", and then the connection drops. A free local wifi connection does work. Any ideas until this issue is fixed by Apple? My home router worked fine in Maverick. I tried all the online suggestions but nothing has worked. Have not downgraded yet to Maverick but thinking about it.

Lion OSx v10.7.3 WiFi Issues

Hi,
Am facing issue with my Wifi on my iMac which is running on Lion v10.7.3 OSx. The Wifi connection goes off and on, but at the same time, am not facing any WiFi issues with MacBook Pro running on Lion v10.7.3, iPhone and iPad2.
I have came across many posts stating that there is issue with Wifi connectivity with iMac's, but not able to come across any solutions.
Can any seniors in this forum provide the solution.

For some reason Network no longer automatically connects to my WiFi at startup. Now I must select my WiFi network every restart. Maybe result of upgrade to 10.7.3?

TIP: DO NOT UPGRADE TO OSX YOSEMITE!!!

If you are on a Mac (unfortunately I'm forced to use one at the office), do not, I repeat, do NOT "upgrade" to OSX Yosemite. Adobe still hasn't figured out the conflicts between EA and Yosemite. I've been fighting issues all day with lock ups, etc. If you want to keep your sanity, wait to upgrade the OS until Adobe issues a patch.
On a side note, I can't wait to get back to my PC at home. No issues there...

My user experience with Yosemite:
Both versions can be installed "side by side". I mean: Edge 4.0 and 5.0.1

Is there a way to disable mouse acceleration in OSX Yosemite?

i have used my dads iMac and MBP in the past and always noticed how bad the mouse response was in my opinion. Mind you, some people like the way the mouse responds in OSX and will probably have no idea what my issue is. That is mouse acceleration and the lack of option to disable it in the mouse settings panel. Here is a good explanation about what it is, also in the video is a visual example.
"Mouse or cursor acceleration, to put it simply, makes the travel distance of your cursor on the screen reliant of the velocity of your physical mouse movement rather than just the distance that you move your mouse. So making one movement of the same distance at two different speeds will cause two different relative cursor movements, with quick movement causing the cursor to travel a greater distance."
source:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16diwK6HWbI
So the thing i want to accomplish, is making the physical mouse movement one-to-one with the cursor speed on the screen. As an example: moving my mouse 10 cm would always make my mouse on the screen go 1000 pixels, no matter how fast i move my mouse.
I've had my mouse set up like that in windows and linux for quite some time now and i hope there is an easy way to set the mouse response like that in OSX as well.
I want to make clear that this isn't just an issue in games where you want to have great mouse precision. I have become really accustomed to this way of mouse response in any type of application. So the problem lies not in any mouse settings of any game/program. The problem lies in how OSX translates physical mouse movement to cursor movement.
Anyway, i ran into this issue about a year ago when i was using my dad's computer. i've had my own windows computer for some time now. An option to disable mouse acceleration in OSX Yosemite might have been implemented properly in the mean time. I have searched this community and found some old posts of people who had this same problem as me, but never read about any fix for it. The main reason i am asking this is because i am considering buying a Macbook.
I'd rather not use any third party software, but if there is any out that that just works and is easy to use, let me know.

Please don't be obnoxious to people like tbirdvet trying to help; nobody here owes you an answer, or anything else for that matter.
Anyway, Yosemite seems to enable mouse acceleration by default. You can disable it to get a constant pixels pointer moves / meters mouse moved ratio by typing this in terminal:
defaults write .GlobalPreferences com.apple.mouse.scaling -1
you'll need to logout and log back in for changes to take effect. To restore the standard behaviour:
defaults write .GlobalPreferences com.apple.mouse.scaling 2
should do the trick.

Screensaver is not working in OSX Yosemite

Hi,
My screensaver is not working in OSX Yosemite on my macbook pro late 2008
Can't solve it by my self..

I had noticed I was having this issue too, and my screensaver never kicking in, and just going to sleep with it never kicking in.
I had gone in and checked to see if any of the settings had got changed or deleted in the system upgrade, but they were all still set at what I had them at prior... so, did as some attempted above also, and adjusted the times for it to kick in, and still nothing. Worked when I would hit 'Preview', but still not kick in at the interval time.
What I just did to get it to work, was just to simply go into System Preferences>Desktop & Screensaver, and just reselected the folder of images that I want to be used, in my case, a folder of images in my iPhoto. And it now works.
Apparently, it wasn't working, because, even though it was still selected to use that folder in iPhoto, something must have changed in the upgrades, which might of had something to to with the iPhoto update too, where it had to update my iPhoto library upon relaunch... and my screensaver settings were set to access that older directed to folder within Library, that was updated in the new release... and so, just repointing it to that folder now in iPhoto, got it to work.
At least, that is my figurin', and I'm stickin' to it!
