Problems with wifi after iOS4 update

Hi guys well I have an iPhone 3Gs currently running 4.1 but came with 3.1.3. The wifi at home works fine and that is WEP secured the only problem is the schools network. In order to connect through wifi you need to use Manual Proxy Settings with the following settings
Server: 10.1.0.12
Port: 8080
Username: ELTHAM\<username>
Password: <password>
Everything worked fine on 3.1.3 and it ALWAYS connected. Now the settings say it's connected but there is no wifi simbol only 3G, and if I turn data off while connected to wifi safari says its not connected. I have tried restoreing, setting up as new iPhone, reset network settings but no luck whatsoever.
Does anyone know why this is happening?

Yes, an all of a sudden it started working while sitting for around 30 minutes, shouldn't take that long

Problem with Java after Software Update to 10.5.7

Hi,
I am facing problem with Java after having run Software upgrades.
Here is the whole story. I recently moved to iMac 10.5.6 from PowerPc 10.4. On this new machine I was having problem running a 3rd party application, which requires JVM. As this application worked well on Tiger, I decided to upgrade JVM on my iMAC using Software Upgrade(was I insane!!). As I like my systems to be updated (as with linux on my personal machine) I clicked "install all". As a result I have the following upgrades run on my machine:
2009-05-20 13:12:01 +0200: Installed "Mac OS X Update Combined" (10.5.7)

My problems with WiFi after 10.5.8 update (and how I solved them)

Hi, I also had problems getting online after last Leopard update. First I tried to delete all network related preferences (as posted here http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9965959#9965959) but soon the problem reappeared.
I need to connect to 2 different routers, one at home and another at the office. After doing what I said in my previous post (see above), I managed to connect to one OR the other, but not both. I had to delete my home config when I was at the office, and the other way around at home. (i.e. I only could connect when only ONE network was configured in Airport preferred networks).
After some trying, I realized both of my router had their SSID hidden. I then broadcasted my home router SSID and, voilà, everything's fine.
Hope this will help some of you getting around this nasty bug.
Regards.

Had issues with my WiFi router too, after upgrading my MacBook Pro 13" to 10.5.8. Not sure we're talking about the same issues, but my MacBook connected to my WiFi network, had also a IP address, but couldn't connect to any host, nor on the local network neither outside.
After reading your post I tried to remove the network completely from the list of known networks and to set it up from scratch. Seems it works now...
Thanks,
Thomas

Ipad mini problem with wifi after update 6.1.3

Hello!
My ipad mini was working fine before the 6.1.3 upgrade, immediately after updating, the wifi stopped working. Restore the iPad to its factory settings as deleting both my data and to reintroduce the network, was still not working.
Help please!

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Some other things to try:
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

Problem with WiFi after update

Dear Apple. I have no wifi signal after last update. No result after reset or etc. only after 5 min cooling of my iphone 4s ( thanks for recommendation from apple store team) in refrigerator)) it's not funny.

Also try:
Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
You'll have to re-enter any WiFi passwords.

Problems with WiFi after upgrade

I have an Ipod Touch 16gig second generation. I recently Upgraded to version 3.1.2(7D11). After the update my WiFi does not seem as stable and I cannot connect to networks in locations that I once could. Even in my home network the signal strength appears way lower than before the update. Is anyone else having this problem? Is it something I did wrong and is there something I can do to try to rememdy this? Thanks for any input.

I have a 2nd gen touch. Last week I finally updated it to 3.1.2, and, along with my touch, updated my lap to the newest itunes and safari. Before, with the old software (I've been overseas since April so I adn't updated my pod for a very long time) my ipod could easily find unlocked wifi and join onto the network. It was great on the net. I used a wifi finder app that was fantastic. Now? My app doesn't open, itunes refuses to update any of my apps and my touch shows it has wifi but won't go online.
I've done everything recommended; reset all settings, reset network settings, restored...you name it. Still nothing. I'm so frustrated. If I had known that this would happen, I would never had updated. Leave well enough alone. I only updated because all of the new game apps wouldn't be supported by my software. I wanted to play Sims 3. Irony is, now that's all I can do on my touch now.
Advice from anyone? Lord knows I can't go to apple itself. My warranty is up and unless i pay, they won't help.
Gee, think they'll start noticing that there's a fair amount of people having the same problem and maybe, just maybe, they should fix the bug...and not charge for it!! Angers me even more. I had to pay money for software that made my podly sick.

Problems with wifi after 4.3

Upgraded to 4.3 on both my iPad and iPhone 4. After the update neither can connect to my dlink dir655 set only to wireless n. They both can connect to my verizon westell modem/router perfectly fine which is g. I have reset router and iOS devices. No clue what's wrong. Anyone else see anything similar or have an idea on a solution.
update: If I drop the dlink router to wireless g they both connect fine. and FWIW my mabook pro can connect to the dlink at either n or g.

Same here... but in my case nothing worked (restarting router, checked firmware.. it is latest from Netgear.. resetting network connection etc.).. I get very slow speed wifi connection (with the speed test 0.3 Mbps down and 0.2 upload).. Just before update it was 9Mbps upload and 1.4 download. This is total shame on Apple. They call their products are top of the line but I have many wifi devices never experienced such a crappy performance Apple testing needs some fundamental training to validate some basic functions before releasing the OS to the users. This is total shame and I am forced to use 3G even at home (I am sure I will max my 2GB limit). I am requesting tech support with the GREAT GENIUS people in Apple store and will ask for refund for any overage which I am going to pay because of this crappy upgrade with a major bug Apple exposed to its valuable customers.

[Enlightenment E17] Problems with EFM after last Update [solved]

Hello Folks!
I'm having some very ugly problems with my Enlightenment E17 Desktop after the last full system upgrade. This problem has already been reported to the German Arch Linux community, but no response yet, but I can't figure out that nobody else troubles the same probs.
This is the following what I get when running pacman -Ss e17-svn
community/e-svn 42849-1 (e17-svn)
Enlightenment window manager DR17 (aka e17)
community/e_dbus-svn 42682-1 (e17-libs-svn e17-svn)

implementation of a C like scripting language for e17
community/evas-svn 42855-1 (e17-libs-svn e17-svn)
A hardware-accelerated canvas API for X-Windows
The problems that occur to me are following: I'm using EFM as file manager. It's not the best one, but it fits into the E17 concept - simple, lightweight, fast - and thats what I like. But, after the latest update, when I click a folder on my desktop, EFM now comes up in a stupid very tiny window. The window is so small, that I need to resize it every time to see any content. Before the update, everything worked fine, the EFM windows came up as they should.
Another problem I'm having with some applications, e.g. the Okular-Viewer, is that I'm not able to size down the window - it is always in full screen, and there's no chance to move it up (even not on the desktop preview widget) to move it down. Okular is always 100% filling my screen (over the height, only), and I'm not able to size it down. In the previous version, I didn't got this problems.
My question is now: is there any way to install the previous Enlightenment E17 packages? They where much better that this one... or will another update come out soon??
Thanks in advance for any help, any help is appreciated!

Have you tried starting with a clean config and the default theme, it helps sometimes after big code changes?
If that doesn't help...
beachcoder wrote:My question is now: is there any way to install the previous Enlightenment E17 packages? They where much better that this one... or will another update come out soon??
If you find some mirror which keeps outdated packages that should not be a problem. Be sure to downgrade all of e17 packages (also some packages were deprecated and thus removed from the server during the last upgrade so you'd need to have those as well. You may still have those on your system though)
About a quick update, depends if Ican replicate it and if there is an easy fix. These things happen now and then with pre-alpha software when they do make major code changes. I try to test every update locally before putting it live but I of course can't test every single feature.

Problems with Macbook after Software Update

I haven't updated my Macbook in a long time, so I decided it was time I probably did. Software Update had updates for iTunes, Quicktime, and a 2009-Security Update. Everything seemed to be going okay. After the downloading and installing finished, it said the Security Update couldn't be installed and moved it to the trash. Then it prompted me to restart my computer because the other two installed okay.
After restart, when my computer started back up, my Macbook is messed up. The doc is missing. I open a finder window, and it shows the main folders, but all the things on the right (where it shows the drive, applications, and such) is missing. I tried to back up my files, but it can't even read there is a blank disc inserted (keeps asking me to insert a blank disc). And it wont let me shut down my computer, or restart it. I click restart, and it seems like it accepts it, but it just doesn't do anything. The dashboard wont show up when you hit F12. This mac is all messed up.
I don't know what happened here, all I installed was iTunes and Quicktime from the Software Update (security update didn't install), and all this happened. Any idea what happened and how I can fix this?
I'm using Mac OSX Tiger 10.4.11.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
There's a variety of things you could try, but first as to why it is doing this. Probably your drive was slightly corrupted. If it was minor you might not have noticed it, but when the updates tried to install, the whole thing compounded and led to a whole bunch of things missing.
First, try to repair your drive. Boot from the System installer disc that came with your computer or is the one for the version you currently have on there, select language if applicable, choose utilities, run Disk Utility and verify (and repair if necessary) the drive. You can verify a drive from DU on your main drive while booted but I have found this can result in incorrect reporting of errors. To repair your drive you have to run it from a drive other than the boot drive anyway.
Next, boot from your drive in [Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393] and repair permissions. You can repair permissions while booted from the installer disc but this uses the permissions configuration on the installer disc which may be out of date if you have run any updates on your computer. Booting your computer to Safe Mode restricts the number of things running on your computer while permissions are being run and does a bit of spring cleaning at the same time.

[Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751]
+Summary of above from BDaqua+ (couldn't have said it better):
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer (Edit: Do not use this disc if it is not the same general version as what you have currently on your computer, e.g. use a Tiger disc for a Tiger drive, not a Panther disc), then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
Then Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes."
Report back after you have done this. It may be that you have to use a more powerful utility such as Diskwarrior.
Once the drive is repaired you can try re-applying the two updates, though often it takes a full archive and install, plus re-application of all updates, to get everything working again.

Finally, on updating:
Updating
Certain steps appear to minimize the risk of an update producing problems.
Number one is to make sure you have a bootable clone backup of your computer in case you do need to back out of it again. This is the only guaranteed way of not having to worry about the results of an update.
Some like to boot from their installer discs or an external backup and verify (and if necessary repair) their internal drives as well as drive permissions. This is done with Disk Utility. You can verify a drive while booted from the same drive but sometimes this produces spurious errors. Repairing a drive (if necessary) has to be done while booted from another disk.

I like to download the update onto my computer and install it from there rather than let Software Update do it. I know a few people who had problems with doing the update via software updater found a manual install to work.
Repair permissions again afterward.
It helps to only install one update at a time and to run the computer for a while to make sure it is behaving well.
The more cautious even like to unplug third party peripherals (see [comment by BDaqua|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9040746#9040746]).
Almost all of the above steps (except backup) have been questioned (e.g., [Permissons repair|http://www.macworld.com/article/52220-3/2006/08/repairpermissions.html] as to necessity. Probably many people have done successful updates without doing them. I say they can't hurt, they can very likely do good (especially if your computer isn't regularly maintained), so why not do them to be safe?

Problems with waking after firmware update ...

Hi ya'll - quick question.
Did the latest firmware update last night and have noticed that waking the computer from sleep has become a problem, maybe once every three times I try to wake it? The backlight visibly turns on and illuminates the black screen, but the password box dosen't ever pop up, leaving me with a plain cursor. I'll try to hit random buttons (not that I think it'll help, but you know) and the 'Funk' sound plays, so I know the computer is working and is on. I have to hold the power button and restart it everytime. Any reason this might be happening now, after the update? It used to every now and then, and had sllooow wake times before the update, the latter of which has been fixed. The update was performed right and completed itself, etc.
Thanks for any help!

i also have problems waking it up since the efi firmware update! i primarily use the macbook only with an exernal display and wake it up by plugging in the power, lan, display and usb connectors, i.e. quite often, i don't even open the lid. since the firmware update, i regularly get a light blue screen and nothing happens. i then have to restart it through the power button as well.

Problem with N73 after firmware update

Recently I tried to update the firmware on my Nokia n73. Somehow the cable got disconnected and the phone died. I read everything on the topic here and went directly to the nearest NCS. There they repaired my phone and updated the firmware to V3.0638.0.0.30 (everything else shown after *#0000# is: 30-10-2006, RM-133, Nokia N73 (05)). But after that, I noticed that when I press the multimedia button, it opens directly the music player, instead of a list of applications. Also when I hold down the menu button it shows both the standby icon and the music one. My problem is that I mostly use the camera, not the music player, and it seems (to me) that it slows the phone down (especially when going through the image gallery). So I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to close the music player, or at least how to change back the multimedia button to a list of applications. I am using the standard 128mb miniSD. Thanks in advance and cheers from Bulgaria.

Problems with wifi after lion upgrade 10.7.2 but only at home

HI, my wifi conection was problemless till I upgraded to lion 10.7.2. After that, it is impossible to connect through airport but only in my home´s wifi. Other computers work at home (including my iphone) and my macbook pro connects everywhere else with no problem but it doesn´t at home. Inmediately after choosing the desired conection it says: Not posible to conect due to conection time run out (or something like that).
Any help?

Then it would appear to be an issue with your router. What router? Model? Is the firmware up to date?
