Problem with macbook connecting to wireless: help please

thanks for reading this thread.
i have a linksys WRT54G2 router connected straight from the ethernet port of a cable internet connection. it's been working fine for the past month or two for both me (using macbook 10.5.6), my flatmate (running vista pc) and my girlfriend also running a macbook.
but, the last few days i've been having problems getting connected. which are:
not connecting to wireless network automatically, and asking for password which is already remembered in keychain
getting connection timeout when trying to connect
getting invalid password, even though password is correct
websites taking around 2 mins to load when connection is eventually made
the internet is working fine on both my flatmates and girlfriends computers, but jut doesn't seem to like mine. heres what i've done already:
restored router to factory settings and updated with latest firmware
cleared all known wireless networks within network preferences
tried both firefox and safari
accessed router using IP address and loaded pages instantly
works fine connected to router with an ethernet cable
the only thing i havn't tried is a different wireless network, which i'm going to try tomorrow when i go into university.
has anyone any idea what the problem may be? like i said, its been working fine for the past 2 months but has just decided it doesn't like my macbook.
any help or suggestions would be great, thanks alot

I had the same problem as you. It all started when all of a sudden my macbook wouldnt automatically join my home wifi that is usually does. I ignored this issue because it still worked, and this persisted for a few months. After a while, the situation got worse and after waking up from sleep, my wifi signal would go strong at first, then weaken until it kicks me off, and i no longer could reconnect as I would get a connection timeout error. I just went to the apple store and they replaced the airport card for free for me.
So basically your airport card is slowly dieing, replacement is inevitable.

Problems With MacBook Connecting to the Internet

This is quite an annoying little problem that I have. And apparently Tech Support can't help me and just said "good luck" and hung up on me. So here we go:
I purchased a new MacBook about two weeks ago and it won't connect to my wireless at home. I can plug it into our cable box via an ethernet cable, but otherwise it refuses to work. My old laptop will connect to the wireless... and even my sister's new MacBook (we got them at the exact same time and they are the exact same thing) will connect to our wireless. I'm using a Linksys wireless router, and I have had other friends access my family's wireless through their Apple computers as well. My Airport reads that I'm connected to the router, but it can't find an Internet signal. I'm not really sure what route I should be taking now. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I seem to be having the same exact issue. I took my Macbook over to my dad's house and I can not connect to the internet. The computer is connected to the router wirelessly, everything seems fine but it will not connect to the internet. My sister has the same exact Macbook, and her computer connects to the internet just fine. I run the Apple Internet Diagnostics and after running it, I get a message that says that my internet seems to be working fine. I also have a problem with my computer restarting when I shut the lid. Very very frustrating!

A problem with my mifi 2200 need help please

Hey everyone. I came here to get help with my verizon mifi card that all the sudden after such a great run stops working!
I had bought two mifi 2200 cards at the same time about a year ago. All I did was turn them on and was getting Internet connection wirelessly to my ipad right away. My connection worked for ages and never had a problem until recently. One of the cards stopped working roughly about three months ago. I looked around online for things that perhaps was stopping the device from working. I figured that the device was ready for an update and that was prohibiting the device from working, but here is the weird part; the other card (the exact same one) was working when this first card I mentioned wasn't. The card working continued to work until just recently like a day or so ago. Odd right. Anyway, the first card I connected to the USB cord that was provided in the box into my laptop. I was immediatly prompted to download Verizon Manager. My first time ever getting to this step. I was connected to my Internet connection at home via LAN line because that was my only option to Internet. After the software was downloaded, I was prompted to update firmware in which I did, then I was told to update wifi area coverage information which is just that search for finding local wifi spots, the next one is the important one that never seemed to work. The message read somewhere along the lines of you need to update coverage area information as if in there was some new program via coverage to get the stuff to communicate with the device. I said yes and then a message popped up saying Activation and had this bar going side to side, but after a while was told the programming failed. The device has already been activated so I don't understand the reason for the word Activation. Regardless, I tried doing other things I've read on this forum like resetting the device, turning standby mode to never, and so forth, but none worked. The device powers on/everything is on, and I can connect to the device, but I have no Internet. Please, some one tell me what is going on.
Thank you and hope to hear from you soon.

Sounds like you botched a firmware update and bricked your MiFi.
Have you tried contacting VZW for a replacement device yet?

Big Problem With Corrupted Image Library - Need Help Please

I recently updated my Aperture 2 (2.1) with the latest update. Upon doing so, most images in my library now show up in the 'ole maroon box with the message "Unsupported Image Format." This only began after the update. I've spent hours reading threads on here, but no real solution can be found. I've spent a few hours on the phone with Apple Support and in my local store at the Genius Bar. What they're telling me is that my library file has become corrupted. That my preview/thumbnails have become "diconnected" from the actual full size image file. I've tried holding down option + command while starting Aperture in order to "rebuild" it. That's made matters worse in that most, but not all, of my previews/thumbnails now are not showing up. When I go into my home folder and right click on the aperture library icon and keep burrowing in until I get to each image folder, everything seems to be there: the original RAW file, the preview file, the thumbnail file, the edits/changes files. I can even drag the original RAW file out and re-import it and then its fine. But I can't seem to also drag out the edits/retouching/changes. So even if I take each of my 1,300 images out one by one and reimport them, I still lose some 300+ hours of retouching. I can't even bare the thought of this. Does anyone know what the heck is really going on and whether there is some kind of fix for this? I'm just trying to get my library back to where it was before all the trouble started. Unfortunately, I do not have a back up from before I updated the software. Oh, we also tried removing Aperture and reinstalling to go back to 2.0, but the same problem is still there. Lastly, I cannot export any "versions" or "masters" in order to print, upload or email the images. So I'm really stuck here.

Welcome to club. This just happened to me also in a very similar fashion: Upgrade - upgrade works for awhile - and then the maroon screen and unsupported file message.
At least you are still somewhat functional. Very quickly the problem spread to my non Aperture JPEGS (I use Canon software to download from two Canon Cameras and then import into Aperture). At first all was ok with these files despite the issue with Aperture. Then they are started having the same problem once I shutdown the computer and restarted. This quickly spread to killing Aperture where it would not start at all. Then I lost Microsoft Entourage due to a corrupted data base. Rebuilding this data base via Disk Utility Verify and Repair Permissions made Entourage workable (but I lost my data and setup - it created a new instance.
Two calls to Apple made everything worse as every time we went back into Disk Utility, we would only fix problems to have them re-appear when the laptop was restarted.
Went to Genius Bar (twice). They archived and did a reinstall. They had to do this twice. Everything now works except for Aperture which will not launch at all.
Genius Bar told me to use Time Machine to reload Aperture. Three tries using three different backups have now resulted in nothing. I am about to try a clean install using my Aperture Disk. I will report back on this.
One thing I noticed before all this started - I had done a bunch of usual weekly software updates about two weeks ago. I was going on a trip so I let everything run (no issues). Time Machine did all the usual things including giving me the really useful message that my BackUp Disk was now full (meaning it is wiping old versions out). However, I then went to shutdown the machine and FileVault whirled for over 30 minutes before it allowed the machine to shutdown. Usually this is under 3-5 minutes if that long. FileVault has yet to make a re-appearance on any shutdown I have had in past two weeks regardless of changes on HD. Therefore I am wondering if there is a connection here.
I use a MacBook Pro with upgraded memory and HD.

Re: Having some problems with the 8350i. Need Help Please!

Everyone I talk to hears echo's. I also don't get text messenges until sometimes a full day after they're sent. I wonder if our geographic area dictates why this is happening.. if you search the forum for "echo" there's quite a few people with the same problem. I'm in Florida.

How are you receiving the sms manually?

Having some problems with the 8350i. Need Help Please!

I just got the 8350i through Sprint/Nextel and already am having problems receiving text messages and when I finally do receive them (one day later or after turning set off then back on), I have to manually receive the message.
Also, I have customers complaining about an echo on their side of the phone every time they call me. Saw some others where having this problem as well.
Is there anything I can do to fix this? My phone is vital to my business and any help is greatly appreciated!!!
Thnaks!!

Hello, I'm having problems with my new GX60. Help please...

Hi first I want to congrats MSI for the good quality of their products. That's why I decided to buy a laptop, but here is my experience and my problems also. First I bought my laptop regarding the language problems, because it came with Windows 7 in Chinese, and thankfully to a chinese friend I could buy it.
First, I couldn't find a MSI laptop in my country, and now that I won a scholarship in China i Decided to buy one here...in China!!
And then I decided to go for MSI, and it's quite brand-new GX60-1AC...that is my first problem, I couldn't find the laptop model in the list and I registered my serial with another model that it's not mine....my model is a gaming series, the GX60-1AC, and mistakenly I've chose the GX600 which is an old model...
--So, would you can change it for me please? because I want all the benefits of the warranty and want to extend it, please. Thanks for this priority problem.
And the second problem is that I guess there is a promotion of Windows 8 about this laptops, the Gaming Series laptops. And I want to upgrade my laptop to Windows 8, but I don't know how to do it. Please help me out to do this. I can give you all the information you need. The receipt, original serial and other stuff.
Thanks in advance and keep the good support.

Thanks....I've downloaded that program, and it says that the CPU #0 is at 45 degrees....seems to be normal
The Min is at 42 degrees and the Max is at 46 degrees.....
And about the auto fan control, is there a way to modify it? I mean I want that the fan starts to spin at 5 minutes, or when the temperature rises to 60 degrees, as a example....is there a way to do that? because the fan starts to spin every 30 seconds, and the sound is somewhat annoying...is not too loud but you can hear it very clearly.......... so I don't know when and how it has to sound...is there any guide to know when a fan is defective?
I mean probably MSI has some standard about the loudness of the fan...
Also, thanks for the support, if this can help anyone else about something it could be great.
PD. By the way I was reading about the EC resetting, is there any benefit to do that? and how about the battery calibration? I've spent my whole night without sleeping to make it work but in the end Windows 7 decided to sleep because the battery was at a critical level and when I restarted the Battery Calibration program was no responding and it was closed by Windows. >(
Is there a guide of how to do that?
PDD. Also I recently found about fan buzzing? fan whining? it could be possible for a new laptop...I can't distinguish both terms. And I can hear it just right after turning on the laptop and while I use it without playing nor doing anything else more than surfing in the web, like now.
PDDD. Damn! I found that the Techpowerup GPU-Z shows me that the integrated GPU, the 7660G, is at 88 degrees!!! Here is a pic:
Then HWmonitor tells me that it's at 43 degrees!?!!? is there any good and real program to get the real temperatures? Here is the pic from HWmonitor:

Problems with bluetooth connection to wireless mouse and keyboard

I am using a mac book (aluminium) with 10.6.4 with a Cinema Display and a wireless keyboard and mouse. My time capsule is located only 1 meter away from the mac book and every time the automatic sync starts my mouse and keyboard do not repsond anymore. It seems that the bluetooth connection is somehow heavily loaded due to the network traffic. I have updated all devices and restarted the computer several times. It always keeps on doing that. Any help?
