Possible 10.7.4 wifi fix for unstable connections

Member wwdto suggested that the default MTU of 1500 be reduced down to the default 1280. I've been using this reduced MTU for the past 3 hours with no problems. Gamed with it, a LibreOffice torrent @5.5MB/s, its working alot better. Can anyone else reproduce this result?
Cheers!!

I know that apple have released a rubbish version of mac that has problemos with internet sharing
so here is da answer
1. go to finder>(computer name)>macintosh HD>library>preferences
2. copy the entire systemconfiguration folder and systemconfiguration.old folder to your desktop
3. restart mac and device which you share intenet to

A Fix for Wireless Connection Problems

I’ve been struggling with connection problems for a week. Thankfully, I found a fix. Your mileage may vary, but this may be your answer:
Fix for Wireless Connection Problems on MacBook Pro

Yeah BR, please tell me what your cure is. I have the same setup as you, Vista with the same wireless card you have. Cannot stay connected to the internet. Have spent hours on the phone with tech support and they can't fix it. I hate this f....ing computer, will never buy another one. Please let me know what you did. Once I get it running right I'm selling it and will buy a cheap Dell, never have any problems with them. I have keyboard problems, capital letter problems, connection problems, and download can take 1 to 2 days. Pure BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fix for cannot connect to iTunes store

I have been working on this problem (iTunes for Windows) since April 2012 and finally got it working. I have gone through all the suggested "advanced" trouble shooting procedures with no luck. I even tried opening a work order with them which was a waste of time because they had me retry everything I had already tried and never read my responses. I am attaching all my notes on what I have tried since the beginning. What I think was the issue all along was .net 4. The fix was listed in 12-03-12 where I removed everything, including .net 4, installed an earlier version back when iTunes was still working. I am now running version 11.0.1.12 and it is still working, Good Luck!
===============================================================

Updated to latest version of iTunes 11.0.1.12
Windows had put back .net ver 4
Did repair of .net 4 from control panel, add/remove programs
Did repair of iTunes from control panel, add/remove programs
Went to store tab, review my Apple ID, it displayed my account info
From there went to the music icon, selected one of the drop down options
Store displayed all the music in that category
Store is still working
===============================================================
Fixed 12-03-12!!!
Removed iTunes, all the apple crap, bonjour and QuickTime
Rebooted and reinstalled an earlier version of iTunes ver 10.3.1 9 (still didn't work)
Removed .NET (it was ver 4)
Rebooted and retried iTunes, still no iTunes store.
Removed iTunes ver 10.3.1, rebooted and reinstalled iTunes ver 10.3.1 with no .NET stuff at all and it worked.
So iTunes didn't need the .NET stuff to work but it must have been corrupted in a way that won't let it connect to the iTunes store correctly.
Next I am going to upgrade to the latest version without .NET to see if it still works. If not I will fall back.

Hello CraigNicholson
You would need to sync with iTunes to get that process to work for you. Check out the article below for more information on how to resolve that issue to get the proper token to use Push Notifications again.

Wifi Fix for YouTube Videos

Just in case someone hasn't found it yet, last week I figured out some of the issues with videos being blocked if you are using a Sonicwall Appliance, and possibly any other Gateway Antivirus. The "Enable HTTP Byte-Range requests with Gateway AV" check box needs to be checked in the Gateway Antivirus settings. Just an FYI...

I solved my issue by doing the following:
My Apple TVs are hardwired, not wireless, Netgear Firewall,
I found some information on Netgear Firewall and iOS6, and problems some users were having. I also remembered that I was having probems with the New iPad before the iOS 6 update, specifically the youtube app was giving me the same error message that I was seeing on the Apple TVs - "No content was found"
So these are all of the steps I took to finally get everything working:
1) I ended up resetting my Netgear VPN Firewall to factory settings, then added back my customizations and security.
2) I assigned fixed IP addresses for both my Apple TV 3 and Apple TV 2,
3) I reset each Apple TV individually, then set the Ethernet settings to Manual and assigned the IP address that I assigned in the Netgear Firewall.
4) I re-entered my iTunes ID and Password
5) I turned on Sharing, I turned on iTunes Match
6) I entered my YouTube UserName and Password. (I'm using my YouTube User Name not my google login ([email protected]))
7) Repeated 3-6 for the 2nd Apple TV
I then went to watch a YouTube video and everything is working fine again.
I'm guessing in my case the issue was the Netgear Firewall, by resetting it cleared up whatever problem was blocking YouTube. As I mentioned originally I was always able to login into both iTunes and YouTube without a problem.
Prior to resetting my router, I did reset each Apple TV on more than one occassion, but that never fixed the problem with the "No content was found. ...."
I'm happy it is working again.

A POSSIBLE FIX FOR RE1000 CONNECTION ISSUES!

My Amazon Review for the Linksys RE1000:
I have been an Amazon customer for several years and this is my first review ever. I'm only taking the time to post this review due to my utter frustration with this product.
Here are the bullet points of my experience.
1) I consider myself to be extremely tech savvy and pride myself on having the patience to eventually get technology to work.
2) I have purchased two of these units. I returned the first one out of frustration (also wanted to rule out a defective unit) and spent countless hours trying to make the second one work. As many reviewers have stated this unit constantly drops the router/internet connection. Mine never lasted for more than two minutes at best. It just constantly cycled the connection on and off over and over again.
3) Linksys Tech Support is provided by foreign nations and proved totally worthless.
4) I literally tried every tech suggestion I could find online via Google. I did my best to leave no stone unturned assuming somewhere there had to be an answer. If you can find a suggestion online, believe me, I tried it.
5) After 6 hours with my second unit, VICTORY! Through a rigorous trial and error process I FINALLY GOT MY UNIT TO WORK!!!
6) My solution (not sure if it's going to be everyone's): 1 - Flash the unit with the most updated firmware via the support site (using an Ethernet cable). 2 - Download the auto setup program from the Linksys website and run it following all the instructions. 3 - Here's the MAGIC TRICK that worked for me. Once you have it set up and running you are free to change any setting in the firmware EXCEPT "WPS" under "Wi-Fi Protected Setup" which is under "Basic Wireless Settings". I REPEAT in the "Wi-Fi Protected Setup" under "Basic Wireless Settings", "WPS" must REMAIN ENABLED and LEFT SET AS IT IS during the auto setup. 4 - Use a static IP address and 20 Mhz only for channel width to ensure a stable connection and to minimize wireless interference. 5 - Verify the proper strength and quality of the signal under "WLAN Statistics" and reposition the unit (and/or change the router channel) as necessary.
7) I have TESTED this multiple times, turning the WPS on and off repeatedly. My connection drops or stays active based ONLY upon this setting (even after plugging and unplugging the unit from the electrical socket). I can literally set my watch by it. No other setting has this negative effect and I've changed them all.
8) I suspect half of the reviews are positive regarding this unit because many are simply using the auto setup successfully and then leaving their settings untouched. Unwittingly touch the wrong setting (WPS) and you're back to square one with a useless gray box.
9) This unit has the potential to be an excellent product, instead it's a nightmare to deal with. My guess is it's a victim of lousy firmware and lousy quality control via Linksys. The shame is it could probably be quickly fixed with a simple firmware update.
10) I hope this review helps others with their frustrations. I'd be curious to know.

PS: One last tip! If you really want to play it safe, be sure set your router's LAN IP address to anything other than 192.168.1.1 (use 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.107.1 for example). That is the default address for the RE1000 and it's been known to cause an IP conflict with many routers that use the same default IP address. Apparently changing the static IP address on the RE1000 is not enough, as the default IP address of 192.168.1.1 still adheres to the RE1000 (hidden somehow) even after the fact for some unknown reason.

Do BT cap IP Profile as a "fix" for unstable line

I have a long rural line which seems to disconnect whenever there are heavy showers. In such conditions the router, BT2700HGV, will loose signal 2 or 3 times in the space of 5 minutes and usually re-connect at a lower speed, 3500 to below 2000 resulting in a lower IP Profile. The IP Profile used to recover within 24 hrs as the line stabilised.
Because of these recent disconnections my target SNR has moved from 9 to 12. I used to connect around 4000 max with an IP of 3 to 3.5 mbs.
I contacted BT and they tested the line.The agent said there was a problem, they would fix it without coming to my property. I received a call next day asking me if it was better. I said I would like them to call in a weeks time as it was too early to say. I checked BT Speedtester and my IP Profile was 2000k with a connection speed of 3168 (Home Hub 2). After 6 days, with no heavy showers, my IP was still 2000k with same 3168 and no disconnections. Then I had another disconnection so I replaced the HHub 2 with BT2700.
The BT2700 connects higher at 3500 and still the IP was 2000k. Then yesterday during some heavy showers there were 3 re-synchs in 5 minutes so I called BT. They went through the usual stuff, no faults on the line , must be my home network, but I have everything by the book, test socket etc etc so they called today to say they have done things to stabilise the line. Now I find my IP is 1500k but my synch speed is 3552 and I suspect they may have just capped my IP at 1500 from 2000k, cause I'm guessing that is what they did after my initial call, with a 2000k cap. The next few days will tell.

I have what sounds to be the same issue, also rural (New Deer) in my case. Heavy showers, snow and hail really muck up my line.
The change in default margin may appear to stabilse your line but I suspect you will find that the line will still drop in heavier rain (I get a total loss of signal in the worst of it) and sooner or later if the line fault is not found and resolved you may find that the line fails totally, this could be soon, could be next winter or could be years away (I am at the 6+ year point with this issue and each year it seems to be getting worse which is not a suprise).
I woudl suggest that you keep an eye on the connection when it is nasty weather and try a quiet line test when you loose sync.

Fix for wireless connection issues on MacBook Pro - reinstall OS!

I hope this helps some of you out there.
I was having all the usual problems with connectivity with the MacBook Pro I bought in January 09. It dropped the signal constantly and if I closed the top, it would make me search for my network again then it would give me the "connection timeout message" over and over again. I couldn't get anything done either at home or anywhere else. I finally took it in to the genius bar but they couldn't replicate the problem so I was sent home. The guy did, however, suggest reinstalling the OS (which I thought was a dumb idea since it had to be the airport card right?). Since it was a week away from the release of Snow Leopard I waited.
Once I installed Snow Leopard all was fixed. It has now been almost 2 weeks and I haven't lost a signal once - the difference is amazing. I feel liberated!!
Try a reinstall or upgrade to 10.6. and good luck. Post here to let us know if it works for you. Don't forget to backup your date first!

Nope I'm not trying to tether. I would like to be able to use a wifi connection on my mac and other devices. I've gotten by so far just hooking up my mac to the ethernet port, but that requires me to be in my room. I know its possible since there a bunch of networks nearby (locked of course), but I just can't figure out how to get mine working.
I'm living in an apartment across the street from campus that is sort of school-owned...well its private but the internet service is provided by the campus since only students live here. So we have to register anything that we want to use on the school's network. On campus I can use wifi on my mac or iphone. Its troubling how I can use the ethernet cable just fine, but when I connect it to my router (which I registered through the school as well)...nothing. Technically this should be working easily - but maybe you're right on the network security accessability...or maybe my router is old...or my mac doesn't like my router? I've had this problem before during my undergrad years except I was dealing with a cable provider and not the school.
Maybe I should just make friends with my neighbors and find out how they set up theirs haha.

Fix for "Not Connected" Error Messages When Trying to Access Web Services

If you run across an error message on your printer stating that it is "Not Connected" when trying to access ePrint or your Apps, but you know it is connected to the internet, it probably just means that the printer is not connecting to the server properly.
Here is the first set of steps I would try, since they seem to resolve this issue half of the time.
The first thing I would try in this situation is a network reboot.
First, disconnect the power cord from the back of your router.
Next disconnect the power cord from either the back of the printer or the wall, without powering it off first.
Wait about 30 seconds and reconnect the power cord to your router.
Wait about another 30 seconds and plug the printer back in. It should boot back up automatically, but if it doesn't go ahead and press the power button.
Once everything is back up and running, try to access ePrint or your Apps.
If those steps don't work for you, the next thing would be setting a Static IP & DNS for the printer. Before doing this, you want to print off a network configuration page. It varies from model to model, but it is usually found under the Wireless Settings or under Reports in the Setup menu. After you have that page, follow these steps.
Before we start, we need a network configuration page with your current connection settings. To get this, press the wireless button on the front of your printer and then press "Print Info" or "Print Report". This will print off a network configuration page, which has information on it that we need to complete the next few steps.
After you have that, we will need to access the printers Embedded Web Server (EWS). You can do so by entering the printers IP address (from the network configuration page) into your browsers address bar and pressing enter.
Once there, press the "Network" tab at the top of the page. From there you will want to click the "IPv4" button, located on the lef-hand side of the page. It will be there for WIreless and Wired, so make sure to click the one for you however you are connected. If you do not see "IPv4", you should see "Networking", press that and then press "Network Address(IP)".
Next, you will want to click the small round button next to "Manual IP Address" and then fill in the boxes for IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway, using the information found on the network configuration page.
For the Primary or Preffered DNS Server, you will want to enter 8.8.8.8.
For the Secondary or Alternate DNS Server, you will want to enter 8.8.4.4.
Click apply and when the message pops up saying that the changes have been applied, press "OK".
Press the power button on your printer, wait for it to fully power off and then press it again to power it back on.
After doing this, go ahead and try to enable ePrint again.
-------------How do I give Kudos? | How do I mark a post as Solved? --------------------------------------------------------
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The reason we recommend using 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for the DNS server is because they work when ISP assigned DNS servers do not. The DNS server assigned to you by your ISP is not able to resolve the domain for web services, therefore not allowing the printer to connect.
I assure you that it is with your ISP's DNS server and not the printer. If you were to take the printer back to the store and get a replacement, you would have the same issue, unless you changed the DNS. Same goes for any of our web service enabled printers.

Fix for bluetooth connection connectivity problems...

Hi,
I have had problems connecting my bluetooth for both my nokia's 6300 & 6500 classic to each other, my car and any other device. After just sitting there and searching i found this is the best way:
1. Turn on bluetooth
2. Make sure your phone is visible to all
3. Instead of clicking on search audio enhancements go to Paired Devices and either select New or if you have already got any paired devices click Options on one of them and click Pair new device and a search will begin. The device you want to connect to should now be found.
Hope it works

For what it's worth...
I have read a bunch of different threads on this. So far I have:
- downgraded my TimeCapsule (still had problems)
- Upgraded to 10.5.7 (still had problems)
- made both the bluetooth keyboard and might mouse "favorites" per http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1907901&tstart=30
- disabled bluetooth in the network panel
...and left an old PC mouse connected to a USB port.
The add as favorites / disable in network panel I have done fairly recently and - so far - no problems.
YMMV...

10.6.2 Still no fix for SMB connection issues

Sorry folks 10.6.2 has not resolved the issue with connecting to a Windows(yuck) server using SMV where the share has multiple mapped drives. Seems to work fine for connecting to a single shared drive where it did not before but multiple drives still a no no.
Roll on 10.6.3!

Hi Direwolf8
It's the same issue that most people are having in a number of other threads.
Basically in the Finder if you select a network drive (or in the printers dialog windows shared printer) that has a number of named shares in it you can only connect to it once. For example:
We have a file print server - called FP. On FP are a number of mapped drives. (Databases, General, Departments etc). In the list of Shared locations (left column of any Finder Window) if I select FP and the drive I want it connects and lets me view the files. However if I close this Window or try to connect to another shared drive it times out and doesn't even show a list of the shared drives on the FP.
The only work around is to use: go/connect to server and then smb://ip_address:139 (from http://www.macwindows.com/snowleopard-filesharing.html#090209d ) However in this work around you have to select ALL the drives you may wish to connect to and have them mounted on your desktop. If you close the connection or want to connect to a different share it times out. Leaving you needing to restart.
The other work around touted of using a fully numeric password is not an option (according to our IT department)
It's the same with network printers. You connect to the server with the printers on it and set up a printer. If you want to add another printer on the same server you have to restart to get it to show the list again.
I know its not a server set up issue as I have 3 Leopard Macs (10.5.8) running and connecting fine. Its defo a Snow Leopard thing.
I was really hoping this issue would go away with 10.6.2 but denied!
If anyone has got this working PLEASE post your solution here. Its the only thing stopping me from Upgrading my Mac Pro to Snow Leopard!
Appreciate any help anyone can offer on this!

MTU fix for "dropped connection" with MacBook Airport/Ethernet & Belkin N+

I have just switched to a Belkin N+ router, a really nice, fast machine with good range extending to all rooms of the house. However, some websites (eg. TESCO online grocery shopping) were timing out with a message like "Safari can’t open the page “https://secure.tesco.com/register/default.aspx?vstore=99” because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection, ...<etc>...". All help in these pages and elsewhere on the web were of no avail. However, Belkin support nailed it in one with this helpful set of instructions for the Mac:
- Click “Apple” on to the top left corner of the screen.
- Click “System preferences”.
- Click “Network”.
- Click "the lock" to make changes and enter the MacBook Admin username and password
- Click “Airport” on to the left side of the screen.
- Click “Advanced”.
- Click “Ethernet” tab.
- Change “Configure:” to “Manually (Advanced)”.
- Change the “MTU” to “Custom” and set the MTU to “1400”.
- Click “OK” and “Apply”.
Worked a treat.
Doug.

Chris.J.G., Welcome to the discussion area!
Is there something I need to do with the Airport itself? I can't find an MTU setting field in the Airport Utility.
No. None of Apple's base stations change the MTU of packets passing through therefore there is no MTU option to change.

Fix for iTunes and Stuttering Audio Upon Opening Other Programs

This was answered for me in another mega thread, so I thought I would create it's own topic in hopes of helping as many people as possible.
This is a fix for those that have the problem of iTunes 7 working fine alone, but when opening another program such as a game, etc., iTunes 7 begins to stutter and crackle. This fix assumes that otherwise, the program works correctly (gapless, and other issues are not a problem, no blue screens of death, etc.)
First off my machine:
Dell XPS 3.4 ghz Pentium Dual Core
2 Gig RAM
Creative SB X-Fi audio card, latest drivers installed
Observed problem:
Running iTunes 7, audio sounded fine, but opening another program such as UT2004 (first person shooter game) caused iTunes 7 to stutter and crackle.
This was not an issue in iTunes 6.05. I had to upgrade as I just purchased the new Nano.
As an aside, I have another sound card on my computer, an older Layla Echo 24 professional soundcard, drivers are about 3 years old. When selecting this card, this problem does not occur.
The Fix:
Close iTunes 7
Upgrade your sound card drivers (just to eliminate that as an issue)
Upgrade to latest Microsoft direct X version:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=2DA43D38-DB71-4C1B-BC6A -9B6652CD92A3&displaylang=en
Start
Run
Type: dxdiag
Click "sound 1" or similarly named tab
Slide bar to "basic acceleration" (mine was at full, and basic is two clicks to the left)
Exit
Restart iTunes 7, and startup music
Open game, or other program
Your music in iTunes 7 should now be stutter/crackle free
This may not work for everybody, but it worked for me so I thought I would pass this along.
Good luck!
(resisting urge to type some snarky remark to Apple that somehow their programmers are indeed as human as Microsoft programmers)...oops...sorry about that.
Dell XPS Windows XP Creative SB X-FI Audio Card
Dell XPS Windows XP

i was hopeful, but it didn't work. well teh one thing that i had to do diff was the dx updating, WGA doesn't like to work on my system for some unkown reason (yes it was bought at a store) so i found a way around their WGA check for it (i think) the one i got was labeled as dxwebupdate for august 2006. it updated just fine and it looks like it should be the same one as the newest update release microsoft sent out
my system is a home built one and haven't had probs with itunes with any other version, until this one. i'm tempted to just go back to the newest version 6 i have, cause this is rediculous. i can't do anything without it sputtering away at me. i tryed uninstalling it and removing every trace of its exsistance off of the system (including registry) and that didn't work i made sure all numbers were set to the correct values for my sound blaster audigy gamer, i was using some non oem drivers, but switched over just to make sure witht eh newest ones creative had, and it made zero diff.
i'm wondering if it is an issue it is having with sound blaster cards...
well anyways if anyone else has any ideas i would like to hear them

TS1368 Done all of the above...everything is in order, still cannot connect to the store. I have the 5th gen iPod and $50 iTunes gift card. I am going to return both of these items it I cannot find a fix for this.

Make sure that you can access the Internet on your computer or device.
Make sure that your computer meets the iTunes minimum system requirements.
Make sure that your operating system is up-to-date:
Done all of the above...everything is in order, still cannot connect to the store. I have the 5th gen iPod and $50 iTunes gift card that I cannot use(been trying now for 6 days). I am going to return both of these items if I cannot find a fix for this.

When I called Apple (after wating 42 min. for a live person) I was told to run the APPLE Software Update and turn off location services then restart my computer. There were no available updates. The iPod touch I got on Christmas day. The iTunes app was downloaded the same day. Since day 1 I have not been able to connect. I also followed lllaass's advice and followed instructions on the following 2 websites.

After restarting my computer:
From the iTunes app I click on the 'iTunes Store'
A new window opens and I get the following message:
This Apple ID has not yet veen used with the iTunes Store.
Please review your account information
So I click on 'Review' and am taken to a crude screen that says
Welcome to the iTunes Store
With an Apple ID, you can download the latest music, videos, and more.
To begin creating your Apple ID, click Continue.
So I click on 'Continue'
A pop up window says:
We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-1202).
There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later.
And the only option I am left with is to click 'OK'
After every fix this same scenerio just loops and loops and loops
