So clearly there's a problem with WiFi and Leopard.....

...that is affecting a subset of us. This problem is driving me nuts, and I've searched this board, as well as many others aggressively for a fix. So far, I've only found a few work-arounds, that don't really work.
The question is, are we certain that Apple has picked up this issue and is working on it? Any comments?

I am now having problems with my imac (2.16 core two duo, 20") running 10.5.1. I have been using this imac for nearly a year now with a wireless coneection and have never had a problem. I installed Leopard a month ago and have had no problems.
Yesterday I noticed my connection drop several times but I could always get it back. I have a good wireless connection on my ibook so I know my router is good. This morning my imac dropped the wireless connection and I cannot get it back. I had to run an ethernet cable to regain my connection.
It seems from a quick look around the boards that this problem is plaguing imacs only. I have noticed this problem happening with imacs running leopard and tiger. Hope a solution is found soon.
EDIT: I restarted the imac and my airport connection returned. I hope this doesn't become a regular thing.

This support document http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4451 relates to the 3194 error. Generally this error has to do with trying to install an iOS that is not the most current. Maybe you tried to jailbreak the phone, or downgrade iOS? Any of this apply to you?

Problems with CS3 and Leopard

Having a bit of a nightmare with Indesign and Photoshop CS3 since upgrading to Leopard. Running a Dual 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5 With 2GB DDR SDRAM. Anyone else having problems?

Below is the Adobe Marketing Line (copied verbatim). It's what I was told by Adobe Sales and what I read at Adobe.com, FAQ, before buying CS3 in October 07. Imagine my surprise when I discovered all of the issues with CS3 and Leopard, even after the update to Acrobat 8.1.2 Professional which promised full compatibility (see chart at bottom).
Apple and Adobe... ARGH.
Oh yes, for all of the new suckers out there who are about to buy CS3 for their new Macs, the exact same FAQ is at Adobe.com, even now, Thursday, 12 Jun 2008.
ADOBE CREATIVE SUTIE 3 Frequently Asked Questions
Support for Mac OS X Leopard
Q. Is Mac OS X Leopard (v10.5) important to Creative Suite 3 customers?
A. Yes, Mac OS X Leopardthe latest version of Apples operating systemdelivers an elegant,
productive new computing experience for creative professionals. Adobe and Apple have been
collaborating closely for months to ensure that Adobe Creative Suite® 3 applications can run
smoothly and reliably on Mac OS X Leopard. We are proud to support this impressive new
operating system, and to ensure that our creative customers can take full advantage of the
performance and value of using Creative Suite 3 applications and Mac OS X Leopard on
Intel-based and PowerPC Macs.
Q. Are Adobe Creative Suite 3 applications compatible with Mac OS X Leopard (v10.5)? If
some are not fully compatible today, when will they be compatible?
A. Thanks to close collaboration between Adobe and Apple, most of the CS3 applications and associated technologies, such as Adobe Bridge CS3, Version Cue CS3, and Device Central CS3, are compatible with Mac OS X Leopard without requiring additional updates. However, the following CS3 applications will require updates for full compatibility with Leopard: Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional and our professional video applications, including Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, After Effects CS3 Professional, Encore CS3, and Soundbooth CS3. We expect to publish free Leopard compatibility updates for the video applications in December 2007 and for Acrobat 8 Professional and Adobe Reader 8 in January 2008. For a complete overview of compatibility between Adobe creative applications and Mac OS X Leopard, see the chart on page 2 of this FAQ.
Q. Will older versions of Adobe creative softwaresuch as Creative Suite 2 and
Macromedia Studio 8 softwaresupport Mac OS X Leopard?
A. While older Adobe applications may install and run on Mac OS X Leopard, they were
designed, tested, and released to the public several years before this new operating system became available. You may, therefore, experience a variety of installation, stability, and reliability issues for which there is no resolution. Older versions of our creative software will not be updated to support Mac OS X Leopard. For a complete overview of compatibility between Adobe creative applications and Mac OS X Leopard, see the chart on page 2.
Q. Will Adobe continue to test CS3 applications on Mac OS X Leopard?
A. Yes. Adobe sets high standards of quality, stability, and reliability for our professional creative
products, and we have worked closely with Apple to test Creative Suite 3 applications on both pre-release versions and the final shipping version of Mac OS X Leopard. While this testing showed that most CS3 applications perform well on Leopard (and that others run well but need updates for a few identified issues), we recognize that other issues may unexpectedly arise on any new operating system. We plan to continue testing and to monitor user experience closely to address any such issues. If you encounter any issues, please report them by going to www.adobe.com/misc/bugreport.html and clicking Report
A Bug. Please note that we dont respond to submissions, but we do review them closely with the appropriate CS3 product teams.
Q. Which CS3 applications will need patches to be compatible with Mac OS X Leopard?
A. The following table summarizes compatibility between Adobe creative applications and Mac OS X Leopard. It notes which CS3 applications require updates for full Leopard compatibility and when Adobe expects to release those free updates.
At A Glance: Mac OS X Leopard Compatibility

Homehub 3 problems with wifi and network - please ...

I am hoping someone can help me, as I am struggling to work out why I am getting so many problems with my network at home.
I have BT Infinity, and a Homehub 3A. I have had BT broadband for years. Infinity was added in Feb 2013. The HH3A is the original one supplied to me years ago.
When Infinity was installed I also added a pair of TP Link powerline adapters, to provide a connection to an unmanaged network switch in the lounge.
A rough outline of what I have connected to the router is:
Wired
- Synology NAS Diskstation
- Win7 laptop
- powerline adapter
Wifi
- 3 iphones
- 2 ipads
- Win7 laptop
- 2 Win Vista laptops
Powerline / network switch
- Sonos bridge
- TV
- BluRay
- Vodafone booster
- SkyHD
Recently I am getting a number of different problems:
1) wifi drops to everything connected to the router, at the same time, all blue lights are on the router
I lose wifi connection to the internet, from all devices, at the same time, but also the connection from my laptop to the NAS drops.
2) Anything connected to the Powerline adapter is rarely available
I try and connect to Sonos, or my sky box or the TV, but they aren't connected to the router. The lights on the powerline adapters indicate everything is fine, and the HH3 has all blue lights. But my iphone and laptop cannot find my Sonos. My iphone app cannot find my sky box. And on the TV it says it is not connected to the internet. To solve this problem I have to power cycle the pair of Powerline adapters.
Some observations:
1) these problems are all since Infinity was installed. I have no idea if that is relevant.
2) My NAS Diskstation has a powersave mode. I noticed last night that when I woke it up, the powerline adapters disconnected briefly, before reconnecting. But when they did reconnect I could not access anything connected to them. It was as if the NAS had booted them off the network, and then they couldn't get back on.
3) I run a 10m brand new Cat5e cable from the infinity modem to my router, because the modem is in the garage.
Can anyone help? I am tearing my hair out with this.
Thanks for any help.

If you set the devices on the home hub to always use the same IP address, then that can help.
The problem is that when the DHCP lease expires, the home hub often gives the device a different IP address, and this breaks the port forwarding rules.
Some routers allow you to specify which IP addresses are to be reserved, but the home hub does not.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

Problem with wifi and I-phones 4S

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my Cisco wifi.
Here at work i am using 2 Cisco 1100 series Aironet    (811G) (intalled in august 2005)
Product informations :
AIR-AP1121G-E-K9
Top                                       Assembly Serial Number:
FCZ0921V07A
System                                       Software Filename:
c1100-k9w7-tar.123-4.JA
System                                       Software Version:

Bootloader                                       Version:
12.3(2)JA3
All I-phones 4S OS6 are kind of loosing connection, if i am using google i will be able to use it once but never twices, the second time google will always time out, but the users are still able to receive and send their emails so the connection is still up.
On the manager i can see every Iphone, and everything seems to be ok, the "secutrity" is a simple 128bits wep key and i have a macadress filter activated and finally the SSID is not broadcasted.
The iphones are working smoothly with any modern wifi.
So my questions are, is it a firmware problem? a configuration problem? or it is time to upgrade the hardware?
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Turning off the 2 Aironet and activating the router's wifi, this wifi is not powerfull enough to cover the whole office but for now this is more than enough.

Are there any known problems with Macs and the mp3 playback in Adobe Connect ?

One user using an Apple Mac has complained of not being able to hear the mp3 sound playback in a meeting.
Is this a problem with Apple Mac and mp3 compatibility or is it an individual soundcard issue ?

I use several Macs with Adobe Connect and I have even created MP3 files for playback in the room. Works fine on all my macs. It's basic Flash. Suggest they clear their browser cache, replace their host-add-in if using one. Run the audio wizard as well to make sure sound is working in Connect.
All of the Adobe Connect Government engineers use Macs all the time so we've never had an issue with MP3's.

Well, it started as a problem with wifi and bluetooth

Early this morning, both my wifi and bluetooth wouldn't work properly.
I turned off my ipod touch, and turned it back on.
Then, both my wifi and bluetooth were "grayed out".
AND for some reason, my iPod couldn't access any of my music.
All of my music still took up the hard drive space on the iPod, but it would not show up.
Now, I put my iPod into recovery mode, and plugged it into my computer.
I'm trying to restore it and update to the newest software, but after iTunes fully downloads the new OS, I get an error message saying that my connection timed out.
So now, my iPod is pretty much useless.
Anything I can do to make sure I'm not losing $300 because of Apple's faulty software?
It's a 3rd Gen 32GB iPod Touch.

No.
The problem started while I still had the old 3.1.2 OS.
After all the primarily listed problems, I was eventually able to get it restore and update to 4.1.
It's not the OS.
I bought my iPod Touch just under a year ago, not too long after New Years.
I'll check in with Apple about it; You may be right about the faulty wireless hardware.
Just strange how it happened to mess up now.

and you ask your self why

Problems with WiFi and Safari

I have am having problems with my Wifi/Safari. I connect to my WiFi, by entering my password, yet the padlock icon remains, is this normal? Then, when I try to get onto any website on Safari, it says 'Safari can't open the page because it can't find the server.'
I have tried renewing the lease (not that it is a paid connection, this is my own personal Wifi connection), but that doesn't work either.
Any pointers?
Thanks.

Yes the padlock will stay locked and try getting on Youtube and see if that works because this happened to me and Youtube worked then later i found out that the website i had typed in was not a real website i had it typed in wrong so try that and i hope it works.

TS2756 hotspot is not working on myiPad 3, hotspot tap is cellural data always appear that it is searching, and never stop. Vodafone and tradeline told me that there is no problem with carrier and Sw. Tethering data is never kept.

Hotspot appear always to search and never stop
internet is not working without internet APN data
Tethering APN never save the data
Vodafone carrier checked and mentioned that the no problem with the SIM
Tradeline checked and the IOS was latest 6.1, but asked to reinstall from scratch
Please advice

I have this _same_ issue, exactly. Initial backup goes just fine, but incremental backups fail. And like you, I replaced the internal drive.
The failures didn't start occuring long after the original drive was replaced--which was about 1 year ago. The new drive was non-Apple and worked fine--and tests fine now as well when outside the TC. But suddenly incremental backups started failing when the TC firmware and utility app were updated about 2-3 months ago. I even swapped the internal non-Apple drive for another known-working non-Apple drive, and same results.
I strongly suspect Apple added something to the firmware to check if it's an Apple or non-Apple drive in the TC and, if the latter, maybe causes incremental backups to fail. This is only speculation and, obviously, the initial backup still works, so any checksum like this would have to be only during the incremental backup process.
I'll be checking into this thred to see if others have the same issue, or if a solution is found. Hopefully my hypothesis is just para-apple-noia and it's some small, easy-to-fix issue.

When is Apple going to fix the problems with FCP and Leopard

Apple,
This is a nightmare.
I wish I never did the upgrade.
It's horrible that Apple released an OSX update that doesn't work with some of the most used Apple applications.
I don't know what I should do.
Compressor doesn't work, export using Quicktime is having problems...and that's just what I've found so far.
When is Apple going to fix this mess?
Hingefactor

Did you heed ANY of the warnings that were posted here, on LAFCPUG.org, or the CreativeCow.net? We gave many pointers on what to do before you upgrade, so that if you do run into issues with the new (and you WILL run into issues with the new OS) you could always go back to the stable version.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1185645&tstart=150
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1196292&tstart=300
Apple will fix it when they fix it...that's all we can say. Keep sending in your issues and when they can, they will issue updates.
The rule of thumb is that if you have a good working edit system, don't mess with it. The machine that I use to earn a living, that is still on 10.4.9 and FCP 5.1.4. My laptop, that I use occasionally for editing, but mainly for e-mail, word processing, web surfing, that I updated. And I am testing FCP on this. So far, I am not suffering any issues.
If you backed up your system, you could have gone back to it.

Problems with wifi and airplay

I recently purchased an apple tv 3rd generation
I have been having issues like:
1) No video but audio plays and also no audio but video playing, when I use mirroring on my mid 2011 macbook pro running mountain lion
2) I have to restart my router every 15 mins to fix stalling wifi connectivity
3) Even when apple tv is switched off, the problem exists but disappears when I unplug it off the network
Other info:
I have an old router I use. I dont know the hardware configuration (I checked on 192.168.1.1).Again as I said this router works fine with all my other devices such as another pc and my android phone and ipod touch.No problem watsoever.The problems begin as soon as apple tv is on network.
I have tried using a new wifi 802.11g router but the above mentioned issues refuse to go away.Please help .
P.S:Very frustarted with a premium brand like apple not even having a choice of tech support over phone.I have off late drifted more towards non apple products due to it's very stubborn, unflexible ways with respect to service, support and products themselves.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
