Safari doesn't connect after sleep

The last few days after the computer has not been attended (sleep), Safari will not connect to the WAN. It will however, connect to the LAN where I can see my printer, other computers and the router.
Along with this, iTunes will not connect to their store.
FireFox will connect to the WAN and LAN without any problem.
I have tried the following:
1. Restart Safari - doesn't fix it.
2. Clear Cookies - doesn't fix it.
3. Trash .plist - doesn't fix it.
4. Log out Log in - doesn't fix it.
5. Restart the computer - guess what? it fixes it.
I don't particularly like having to restart the computer everyday, I'll try a few other things like quitting all active programs before leaving the computer to sleep.
I'll go ahead and file with Feedback Tools and see if I get any response from Apple.

Carolyn, read the bottom of the page for the description of my computer.
MacPro as in fire breathing, 4 HD drives, taco warming behemoth.
I don't use AirPort to connect to the network with, I use an Ethernet cable directly to the router which is an AT&T fiber connection w/wireless and hard wire capabilities. This device also feeds 4TV's. The Airport Express is downstairs connected to my entertainment system. And come to think of it, it doesn't work either when the rest of the gyrations are going on with the connection. But the TV's still work.
The Network Utility shows normal activity when things don't work.
Once I get the can't connect msg. on Safari, I continue with the inspection of the network and come up with a final no problems present, working just fine.
I haven't tried my back up drive, 'cause its only a week or so old and might have the same ruckus going.
This is not a major hassle, its just one I haven't seen before.
Thanks for your reply though.

Security Update 2007-004 v1.1 did not fix connectivity after sleep

I installed the new security update (2007-004 v1.1) which was supposed to fix airport cards from disconnecting from their wireless network after sleep...but it didn't fix the problem. Is anyone else STILL having trouble?

I was having the same problem with connectivity after sleep, but once I used the Security Update 2007-004 v1.1 I no longer that THAT problem, but now I have another,....
in MAIL, there is definitely a 'long' pause before graphics are displayed. Or while using Safari, the text for a new page will display fairly quickly, but again there is a 'long' pause before the graphics show up. I am comparing the time before the first 2007-004 update and now. Before, the graphics downloaded fairly quickly. In the MAIL program, just clicking on an email caused the graphics to appear, in fact, they were just THERE. But now, again there is that longish pause before they appear.
Has this happened to anyone else? And ideas what I can do?

Safari doesn't open after i updated it to 1.6.8

Safari doesn't open after i updated it to 1.6.8

Reinstall Safari 5.1.2
Then restart your Mac.
If that doesn't help, you may have a third party add on that was compatible with the prior version of Snow Leopard, but not 10.6.8.
Troubleshooting help here > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
And try Safari in another user account. If you can't open Safari there as well, that's an indication the startup disk may need repairing.
Log back in to your admin account, launch Disk Utility. That's located in /Applications/Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)

Possible fix for OS X 10.5.7, losing connection after sleep, restart

Possible fix for OS X 10.5.7, Airport, losing connection after sleep, restart, or cold reboot.
Issue: (For OS X 10.5.7 on iMac5,1, Intel Core 2 Duo)
=============================================
- After sleep, restart, cold reboot, even though cannot connect to Internet, but the AirPort bars are still full, as if connected.
- Losing Internet connection after sleep, restart, cold reboot.
Possible Fix:
1.Open Network Preference, click on the Location drop down list > Edit Location... > click on the wheel button > Duplicate Location.
a)Select this newly setup location; Use Diagnostic button to connect to the internet. Select Network or enter WEP password if necessary.
b)Test to make sure you can connect to a web page.
c)Go to sleep & wake up.
d)This time, the Airport bar will start to show correctly. Before, it will always be full even when not connected. Now there will be no bars or grey out when not connected.
2.On the left hand side of the Network Preference Window, there is a list of services, such as Airport, build-in ethernet, built-in FireWire, bluetooth, etc.
a)Click on the wheel button on the bottom of the service list; select Set Service Order...; move Airport to the top of the list.
b)Delete any services which you are sure that you are not going to use, such as Bluetooth, etc.
3.Pick one of the locations mentioned in #1, and make it sure it is connected. If not, use Diagnostic button. If you have to select Network or enter WEP password to connect, make it so.
a)Check to make sure you can connect to a web page.
4.Go to sleep & wake up. The Airport bar should be filled up quickly. Try to connect to a web page.
5.Restart computer. Test a web page.
6.Shut down & Start computer. Test a web page.
7.When everything is working fine, you can delete the extra location that you created in step #1.
8.Click the lock on the left lower corner of the Network Preference window to safeguard the setting.

If my assessment is correct, the LIDE 200 driver is version 14.8.1 and dated 26-Sep-2008. It is possible that the driver will not work with the latest version of OSX. I would advise that you contact Canon and ask them the question.
(Removed link because of the way Flash drives the Canon site).
It is not uncommon (though irritating) that devices no longer work when an OS is upgraded. One has to ask the question if (or why) the driver was not written in such a way as to be OS version independent.
Chris
I spoke to Canon over here in Australia. Not helpful at all. In fact they were about as useful as an ashtray on on motorcycle. Having said that the tech seemed to think that there would be an update soon. But that is assuming that Canon are aware that there is a problem with that Scanner under OS X 10.5.7.

M3800 Developer Edition: wifi doesn't work after sleep

I have an M3800 Developer Edition (2015 model). Ubuntu is factory-installed 14.04, with hardware enablement stack installed. Recently (past 1-2 weeks) wifi doesn't work after sleep (lid closed or open doesn't matter), and only rebooting gets in back. Tried rmmod and modprobe with no success. Has anyone else seen this, and/or are you aware of any open bug(s) for this?

Wi-Fi still not reconnecting after sleep

Skype 7.6 (409) Cant connect after sleep/lid-close...

Skype cannot connect after sleep or after I've closed the lid of the computer. I've tested this out and it sometimes opens up the main skype chat window however I am offline and cannot go online.
I've tried several methods;
- deleting $TMPDIR/Skype directory
- deleting my username folder from ~/Library/Application Support/Skype
- deleting ~/Library/Application Support/Skype/shared.xml
- Re-installing skype
The only solution seems to be restarting my computer so I can relogin with skype. However this is not an acceptable solution.

I couldn't find the edit button . I've succesfully found the problem causing it. However since I can't debug the skype app I am unable to find a solution as of yet.
My culprit was vagrant. Everytime I boot up a vagrant instance of a vm (which is whenever I turn on my computer) I get dropped out of skype. I've tested this as far as starting a vagrant during a skype call. The call doesnt drop (it kinda stutters) but I am logged out of skype immediately.
The things vagrant does are logged here;
==> vagrant_instance: Attempting graceful shutdown of VM...
==> vagrant_instance: Clearing any previously set forwarded ports...

I suspect there is a port misalignment, however the ports I've specified should not conflict with skype afaik.

Problems auto-connecting after sleep & startup (Changed from WPA to WEP)

Okay, I know there have been several issues similar to this, but after two days of sifting through posts, I still can't resolve this.
A few days ago I switched my AirPort network security from WPA to WEP-128. This was required to allow my Nintendo DS to connect to the netwrok, by the way. After the change, two similar, but slightly different problems started:
My 15" PowerBook G4 no longer auto-connects to the network at startup. The network is listed in the drop-down, and connects with no problem when I choose it manually. The computer seems to have no problem re-connecting after waking from sleep, which is odd because...
My other PowerBook, a 12" G4, won't auto-connect at startup AND won't re-connect after sleep. As above, it has no problem connecting using the Keychain once the network is selected from the drop-down.
So far I have tried, on both machines:
- trashing the system airport prefs
- deleting and resetting the network's keychain entry
- repairing the keychain (no errors found)
- turning off some unneeded power mgt options
- disconnecting USB peripherals
I have also reloaded the software on both my AirPort Extreme base and my AirPort Express hub, as well as restarting both hubs. I've also made sure that AirPort is at the top of the network connection list.
Both laptops are running 10.4.3 and have all the latest software updates installed.
What am I missing?
Thanks.

Both of these replies are helpful, in that they help confirm something I figured out this morning, almost accidentally.
One thing I didn't mention was that during the change from WPA to WEP I changed the network password. Now, I assumed that since the Keychain seemed to be working and I could get on the network manually without needing to enter the password each time, that meant the new password had correctly propagated throughout the system.
So, this morning I go into the Network settings, switch from Automatic to Preferred, select my network, look at the properties, and notice that somehow it has way too many bullets for that to be the correct password. I re-entered the password and that seems to have solved the problem. The new password I had entered somehow didn't make it into this setting. I guess trashing the network prefs, or renaming the network would have had the same effect.

Safari can't connect after latest Lion update

Just updated my software and now safari can't connect to websites. It connects for a bit then after awhile it will no longer connect. Firefox and Chrome are connecting fine so this is a safari only issue with the latest update.
Safari Version 5.1.5 (7534.55.3)
Quiting safari and restarting works for a little while then eventually 'can't connect to server' eventually appears. I'm going back to firefox until this is resolved.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in 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(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.
Hi I have the same sort of problems I carried out the two tests and the problem appears to only be in my profile not in guest profile. Is there a cure?

Upgraded to lion now my wi-fi loses connection after sleep mode, it still shows as connected but does not go out to the internet. Please help

After I upgraded to lion I have been having constant issue with my wi-fi after sleep mode. I close the lid and when I reopen I open safari and cannot connect to the internet. Wi-fi is on and I am connected to my router, but it doesnt seem to be on the internet. Now how I resolve this issue is turn of the wi-fi and turning it back on, then i am back on the net. this is mos-def a bug i have never had that problem with snow leopard. Please assist or provide hot-fix

I have the same issue and have to cycle the wireless modem on the laptop. Doesn't matter if I'm on a preferred netowrk or no, or if I stay on the same network or move. I come out of sleep, I have to cycle the modem.
It's not life threatening, or anything, but it's a hassle. I didn't have the issue with Snow Leopard.

Safari won't open after sleep

Dear community,
After sleep when I try to open safari, the browser doesn't appear...it says it's open....I can open also 4/5 tabs or windows via the "File > New Window or New Tab" from the menu but the page doesn't apper. If I go on the widgets/Dashboard, it quickly appears but then when I go back to the main desktop, it disappears again.
I have this problem since I have upgraded to Lion.
I have a Mac Book Pro and an iMac and the problem is only with the iMac
Can anyone help?
Thank you
Regards
Matteo

On the iMac...
Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Quit Safari. Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Launch Safari.
If that didn't help, quit Safari. Open a Finder window select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the Library folder, then the Caches folder, then the com.apple.Safari folder. Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.

Airport after 10.4.2 Will Not Connect after Sleep

After my iBook G4 goes to sleep it will not reconnect to the internet.
It shows connection.
It shows me the IP.
It will not allow me to do anything online.
I have to quit all internet prorams mail, safari, firefox etc...
Then I have to reset the location over and over and try until it works. Sometimes right off the bat sometimes it takes 10 minutes. This is completely frustrating since even the network diagnostic is showing internet, ISP, etc.
I've rebuilt my keychain.
I've rebuilt the WEP password
I've changed my computer name to be one word no spaces.
I need help! My wife cannot use this computer if it won't connect without interaction. I never had this issue before 10.4.2 was installed.

Henry,
Thank your for the helpful link.
I created a new location based on the info in the link you provided.
It worked.
Now, the iMac G5 rejoins the network automatically after sleep or restart.
I don't know if level 4's need point, you and Frank C. (author of the info at http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx/.68ae4ead) just got some more from me.

My iPad (1st gen) loses Wi-Fi connection after sleep.

If my iPad is allowed to go into "sleep" mode on its own, the connection to my Wi-Fi network is lost. Going into the iPad settings and toggling Wi-Fi off and back o n will restore the connection. I don't have to re-enter the password for the connection to be restored. This doesn't happen with any other devices on my wireless network. Any suggestions on how I can resolve this?

I was having the same problem and could only get it back either by restarting iPad, clearing the network or restarting the Router. I eventually found this useful post on the Princeton Universty website:
http://www.net.princeton.edu/apple-ios/ipad-iphoneos32-dhcp-workaround.html
It appears the problem is caused if you have any applications which uses Push notifications such as Mail, Contacts, Games Centre etc. Apparently in IOS 4.3, when the iPad goes into sleep mode it should drop the wifi connection to clear the DHCP cache. If you have notifications on, it doesn't drop the connection on sleep so when it wakes up again, either the DHCP cache entry is out of date or something else is out of step with the router.
This only happened after an abortive attempt to upgrade to IOS 5.0.1 (see https://discussions.apple.com/message/16778153#16778153) and a downgrade to IOS 4.3 which I think is where Apple introduced the Games Centre with notifications turned on by default.

Safari doesn't work after new Installation of Lion

Hello,
I installed a new SSD into my MBP mid 2009 and put the HDD into the optibay instead of the Superdrive, after that I installed OSX Lion onto the SSD and used the Migration Assisstent to migrate my old User Folder from the HDD with the newly installed OSX Lion. After the migration, everything went well, except of the following:
-Safari doesn't work, no website can be loaded, as soon as I run Safari, there is a process running named "Webprocess" which uses 95% of the CPU and makes the MBP heating.
-VLC Media Player does not work as well
Any idea anyone?
thx
Mohammad

Another problem is:
When I start the Dropbox Application, it uses nearly 90% of the CPU as well, so the mac heats up, in a way that it is not possible to use the dropbox application...
(The Icon of the VLC Media Player only jumps up and down in the dock, and nothing else happens)
