Powerbook g3 will not auto reconnect to iMac airport after sleep

iMac is a late-2006 intel, airport extreme. I'm internet sharing. If the powerbook sleeps, it will not auto-reconnect after waking. I can't even enter the password to reconnect; it displays an error message. I have to turn off-and-on the iMac's airport, and then the powerbook auto-reconnects.

If the powerbook sleeps, it will not auto-reconnect after waking.
The AirPort Extreme is "always on", there are no "sleep" related adjustments on this device. The "sleep" issue is with your powerbook or the operating system that the powerbook is using.
Suggest that you post in the PowerBook Forum for your specific question.

HT4628 My macbook pro will not automatically reconnect to the wifi after a sleep. This has started after having upgraded to mountain Lion (10.8).

Hi
After I have installed Mountain Lion (10.8) - my macbook pro will not connect automatically to my preferred wifi network. It used to do that on the previous versions. It seems that the mac does not recognize the preferred network, as it asks me to choose a network after evey sleep/restart. I have modified the network preference to have my preferred netwrok at the top of the list. I have tried with/without checking the "ask me before joining a new network". It still behaved the same.
Thanks
Eitan

Try making a new network connection and renewing the DCHP lease as detailed here:

System does not automatically reconnect to wifi network after sleep/restart

My iMac G4 (2GB RAM, 10.5.1, AirPort Extreme) does not automatically reconnect to my wife network after waking from sleep or restart. I just recently switched the iMac from a wired to wireless set-up though the machine has always had the AirPort card. In wired mode, it always automatically found the network.
Network preferences have the "Ask to join new networks" checkbox selected. Below the checkbox it reads "Known networks will be joined automatically."
My wireless router is Linksys WRT150N, security type is PSK and encryption method is AES key.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

I'm having the same problem, the only way i can connect to my wireless network is to restart the computer, and open safari immediately. Then once it goes to sleep or i shut the notebook, i have to restart it again to use the internet. It's driving me nuts, and nobody knows how to fix it. I've tried firefox (it didn't help) and my sisters macbook connects just fine to my network, so it has to be a network setting. I'm going to schedule an appointment with a mac store tomorrow. so I'll post again when they fix it for me. hopefully i will understand how they solve the problem so i can post it to you guys

HT4628 My MacBook Pro does not automatically reconnect to Wi-Fi after sleep

I have to manually Open Network Preferences and choose my home airport (or office network) every time that I wake up from sleep. I would like to have it automatically choose the network. Is there any way to fix this?

Not I solution, but I am hoping a similar issue to provide more insight. I am seeing your auto-connect issue, but I only seeing the issue on the first network listed in the preferred networks. I recently switched the order of of my preferred networks, and the auto-connect failure was immediately switched to the "new" first network.
To elaborate, I have never had issues with my home network. However, a few days ago I switched my home network to the top of my preferred networks list. Now I must always select my home network to connect. Also, I was always having problems with my parent's network, which was first in the preferred networks list. Now that it is second, I have no problems connecting to their network automatically, when waking from sleep or from a clean boot.
I am still searching for other similar reports of this issue.

Not auto-connecting on restart or after sleep - help

I have an Apple Airport Extreme router configured with 128 WEB.
When I start up my MacBook I have to go up to the Airport status and select the network. Since I have already entered and saved the password, it connects and then all is fine - until it sleeps or I shut it down. Then I have to go back up to the status icon and reselect. There are no other wireless networks detectable.
Now what is weird is that I have an intel iMac and it always connects. When I go to the sys prefs > Network on my iMac it says by default join Automatic. But on the sys prefs > Network on my MacBook it only gives me the option of joining a specific network. I tell it to automatically join that network but it doesn't do it!
Both OSs are up to date.
Any thoughts?

That happened to me on both my macbooks i just found a fix go to your network settings and have it only connect to prefered networks then ad your netowork 5 times this causes the computer to keep rescaninggng

My iPad will not auto-connect to my network. I need to type in a security key each time. Is there a way aound this?

Some things to try first:
1. 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.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. 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
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Import Dialog will not auto open - Lightroom 4.1

Since I upgraded to Lightroom 4.1 from 3 the Import Dialog screen will not auto open when I insert a memory Cart to my Imac.
I have the correct box ticked in the preferences.

I have performed all of the above and I still can't get Lightroom 4.2 to open to the Import screen when inserting a memory card. If LR is already open and then a card is inserted...yes the Import screen opens. If LR is 'Quit' (closed) and a card is then connected Lightroom opens to the Library, but not the Import screen. I have also tried to delete the preferences files and restart, but I'm unsuccessful with multiple tries there too.Running a Macbook Pro 10.6.8. Lightroom 4 opens as desired—connect card via card reader, LR launches and opens to the Import screen—on my iMac 10.7.4.

Driver disk will not auto run on Mac Pro 08

Hi
I have a Mac Pro early 08 and i'm finding the Leopard driver disk will not auto run "to install" drivers but it only gives me 2 other options for disk share and something else which I forget now as I un=installed.

Hi
Oh god no I popped the disk in when WVU finished installing and arrived on the desktop and it only gives me 2 install options.1.for the MB air and another for disk sharing but why does it not install drivers aotomatically?
The driver disk does not aoto run under vista and which drivers do I use ..also the ATI just does not want to work "advising errors of hardware or software" not installed.
I have done this numerous times on the iMac and XPP worked fine with the driver disk but WVU is giving me headaches.

TS1398 Since I upgraded to iOS 7.0.2 my phone will not auto-connect to the home WiFi network.

I upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2 and now my phone will not auto-connect to the home wifi network. Each time I leave and return to within range of the network I have to remember to manually connect, otherwise it continues to use 4G for data. The credentials are saved (all I have to do is tap it to connect) but just won't happen automatically any more.
Is anyone else seeing this problem?

Tried the reset multiple times. No go. Before the IOS 7.0,2 update my devices were connecting to home WIFI eventually.

My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus 3.0) is recognised by my iMac but will not pair? I have paired it with my iPad using code 8310 but it still will not pair with my iMac. Can someone help please?

My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus brand - bought recently in Thailand)(similar to Mac small keyboard) will pair with my iPad using code 8310,and is recognized by my iMac but will not pair?
There are very scant instructions with the keyboard and no mention of any code (the code was prompted by my iPad).
I have followed the instructions but it still will not pair with my iMac!
Can anyone help please?
My iMac is 20 inch Mid 2007 OSX10.9.1 4GB RAM

Hi All, thank you for you suggestions. I have been unable to find any website for the maker, but have looked at several Thai/cambodian sites incl <http://www.buycoms.com/Article/8435/index.asp> which mentions the keyboard being suitable for tablet or windows. No mention of iMac! although the box is branded to indicate Mac compatable.
I'm thinking that maybe it just will not pair with an iMac.
Ill keep looking for the maker website, which might come on later in the future? maybe?
thanks again.

Ipod Touch will not sync with home iMac but can with other macs

My daughters iPod Touch will not sync with her iMac anymore.
It will with my MacBook Pro but not with her iMac.
We are both running Snow Leopard.
Is there a toggle or setting that needs to be changed.
I've looked but no joy.
Thanks in advance for your help.

If iTunes is not seeing the iPod then try:

Install Disk for Snow Leopard will not boot on an iMac 27in

My Install Disk for Snow Leopard will not boot on my iMac 27in. The Apple Logo is the only thing the user will see. The current OS on the system is 10.6.6. Upon placing the Snow Leopard DVD in the system, the DVD players spins for a few seconds and displays the Apple Logo. Nothing happens after 20 minutes.

Yes, it is ridiculous how it is impossible to install Snow Leopard. I have two Snow Leopard DVDs: one that I purchased for a Macbook soon after it's release (10.6.0), and one that came with my iMac (10.6.4). Both of these boot up my Macbook (running 10.6.7) just fine. My SL 10.6.0 DVD mounts onto my iMac (Lion 10.7.0), but you cannot run the install. I attempted to boot from this DVD and got the infinite white screen and Apple logo, as some have reported above. The other SL 10.6.4 DVD will not even mount in Lion, and will not even show up as a bootable drive when I attempt to select it after holding alt/option on reboot.
I created a bootable external drive from SL 10.6.0, attempted boot, same infinite white screen/apple logo.
I created a bootable external drive from SL 10.6.4 on my macbook. I attempted to boot from this drive, and got the white screen of death, except that this time I actually got the loading symbol underneath the Apple logo. After about a minute of attempting to boot, the Apple logo changed to a circle with a diagonal line through it (the "NO!" sign).
I took my iMac to the genius bar. They inserted SL 10.6.0, which would not boot. Then they determined that my computer had to run 10.6.4 and later. So, they restored an image of SL 10.6.4 onto my partition (not an install from an image, but an image of SL already installed). Hurray! Snow Leopard was successfully shoved onto my iMac!
I then deleted a third partition on my hard drive I did not need anymore, which somehow screwed up my SL partition (even though it said "Will not erase partition SL or Macintosh HD). Now I am back at square one, and I guess I need to take my flippin iMac back to Apple for them to do what I should be able to do.
I like Apple, but sheesh do I hate Lion right now.

Just transferred data to iMac from working Mac Pro that is using Parallels and Windows 7 and the Biblesoft 5 and it will not open on the iMac the only change is the my new iPhone number is OS. Any ideas?

Setup Assistant and Migration Assistant do not restore MS Windows, it only does the OS X partition. All of your Windows stuff must be backed up and restore using a MS Windows application. If no one on this forum is able to answer your question then I'd repost it on a Parallels forum to see how other Windows users approach this.

Since upgrading to OS Mavericks, my iPhone 5 will not pair with my iMac. Any solutions?

Yes, it did. I have not had any problem with my iPad pairing, just the iPhone. Thank you
