Time Machine backup over wifi not working after upgrade to 10.6.3

I have a firewire external hard disk connected to directly into my imac which I use for back-up. The imac is wired into an ethernet LAN. I also backup my MacBook Pro to the same hard disk. The MacBook is connected to the backup disk via a wifi link to a router. All has been working well until I upgraded Snow Leopard to 10.6.3 and now the back-up is not working for the MacBook. The same thing happened after the last point release upgrade but at the time I thought it must have been user error. Last time I had to trash the backups and start from scratch. Can anyone shed any light?

Try reselecting the drive (from the laptop) via TM Preferences > Select Disk (first select the "none" drive, then the correct one).
If that doesn't help, try a "full reset" of TM on the laptop, per #A4 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.

Iphone 3G wifi not working after upgrade

Iphone 3G wifi not working after software upgrade, no proper fix from Apple. APPLE SUPPORT - R U SLEEPING.......

You are not talking to Apple. This is a user to user forum.
If you're using the iPhone 3G, there will be no fix for your problem. The software you have, 4.2.1, is the end of the line for the 3G. Apple is no longer providing software updates for the 3G.

MMS over WiFi not working after Sense 6 Update

A week ago Monday, the Sense 6 update hit my phone. Once loaded, I could no longer send MMS over WiFi, stream Google Play Music over WiFi, access my content on Google Play Books, or back up my pics to Google Cloud over WiFi. After several days of e-mails back and forth with HTC, it was determined that I had to perform a Hard Reset and lose all my information. This after clearing the cache, re-booting, various Safe Mode re-boots, etc. Nothing worked. I finally gave in and performed the hard reset. Now, the only thing NOT working is MMS over WiFi. I've tried other WiFi networks and still no MMS functionality. After about 10 minutes, I get a red triangle next to the message and an error notification, "Generic Network Failure."
This is going to start costing me money. Like so many of us, I no longer have unlimited data. Now, every time I want to send an MMS, I have to use my data plan. Not cool. I'm hoping that someone sees this and is working on the problem. I love my HTC One (M7), I really do. But, we're talking basic smart phone functionality. Without it, I'll be looking for another phone, and perhaps even another carrier. I'd prefer not to do that, but so be it. Please, Verizon, a little help?
For what it's worth, the MMS does this first. Notice the little MMS icon with the clock lower right...it just hangs there first...and sorry about the shoe pic.
Next, it does the Red Triangle thing...
And that's all I know. Perhaps someone here, or a kindly VZW employee will see this and take pity. Thanks!

I am having the exact same issue with my HTC one, which started immediately after updating to sense 6. Very annoying since I do not have unlimited mobile data plan, so I have to manually turn mobile data on each time I want to send or receive mms texts, including texts with multiple recipients. Did not have this issue before the update. Love this phone, my very first smartphone. But it is hard to believe that I was able to send pics over text with my old flip phone with no data plan. And now I can't with the HTC. I just can't have the mobile data on at all Times. It has become very inconvenient ever since the upgrade. Wish I had never done sense 6.

Win 7 Wifi not working after upgrading to 10.9.4

After the update I am not able to get Wifi connection on my Bootcamp 5.1.2 with Windows 7 Professional. The wifi icon gets a red X and it can't se any network at all where it earlier could se several networks. Its running on a Macbook Pro Retina, Mid 2012 2,3GHz i7. Also my external keyboard is not working anymore when booting to Win.
Everything was working perfect before the update and somehow it seems like the the Apple Windows support software is not working anymore (I am guessing).
I have tried to download the support software again to a USB and reinstall on Windows but no change.
Since I have been reading that there has been a issue with a Apple wifi update on 10.8 I tried the workaround from that thread and restarted the bootcamp in many different ways but still no changes.
I guess that this requires a new update from Apple - but I can't find any way to report this issue without having to pay for it!
Anyone who are experiencing the same or maybe someone who has a solution I would appreciate it - thanks.

After i reinstalled Bootcamp with Windows 7 it was all working fine again with OSX 10.9.4.
The bad news is that I just updated OSX again to the new 10.9.5 and now I am back where I started again - no network connections.
It can't be a coincide that it is the same pattern again and a bit annoying if the solution is to reinstall Bootcamp every time there is a update - hope anyone can give me some hints?

Wifi not working after upgrade

This morning, after the upgrade of mij MacBook to OSX 10.8.5 my wifi is not working anymore.
Technically it is ok, in recover mode, it is working, so it is a software problem.
Is this a known issue?
Regards,
Eric

There have been a lot of people having this issue...Especially the 2008 model which is the unibody aluminum version. Found that they have to revert back to 10.8.4 to get it working again.

3GS Iphone wifi not working after upgrade

I upgraded my 3GS iPhone to version 6.1.1
After upgrading the iPhone I noticed that wifi wasn't working from the typical areas of my house, so I looked for a fix on these Community Forums and elsewhere on the web. Nothing has worked. I reset the network settings and tried amny other proposed fixes. Then, I walked to within 10 feet of the AEBS, and noticed a weak WIFI signal. Bluetooth worked just fine by the way.
I then upgraded my Gen 4 Airport Extreme Base Station to the latest firmware "hoping" that my resolve the loss of WIFI on the iPhone. It didn't.
I am going to try a factory reset next.
Any other recommendations? May the impending iOS 6.1.2 will revive the WIFI on my 3GS? I can only hope at this point.
Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

@shldr2thewheel, you are correct, I accidently typed an extra ".1". The version is 6.1 (10B141). Thanks for the post-spellcheck.

My old Time machine backup's will not restore after lion upgrade. Ugh!!!!!

I had old backups that were accessible while running snow lepoard. Aftering installing Lion, the backup are still there, but I can't restore from any of them. Do I have to change the file name? Or am I SOL!!

Hey Linc,
Here's what happens: I log in TM, I can scroll through my old backups, I can choose the folders I want to restore, I can click on the folder, but when the systems tries to restore it, it stops saying that I don't have the privileges to access file A in the folder (and then all the procedure is stopped).
Oddly (at least for me) if I try to restore just that same file A (and not the whole folder) that I should have no privileges for, from the same old backup, I can do it, but I have to give the system my password: It pops up a window saying something "Finder is willing to make some modification, can you authorize?" (forgive i'm translating the alert from another language) and then I can restore it.
Many thanks
Ps: I did a simple upgrade on Lion, no partition, no blank disk, and never changed anything in my user preferences, it's always the same, administrator
Pps: Before Lion I could restore easily exactly the same folders and files I tried to restore with Lion

HT4972 wifi not working after upgrade to iOS 5.1.1

Upgraded to iOS 5.1.1 and wifi is not being recognised. In the settings>General> wifi is greyed out and says no wifi. I know it is nothing to do with my home network as no other network in the area is showing up either. Other than restoring is there any other 'fix'. I have seen similar complaints from others. Is apple doing anything about it? Grateful for any solution, it is driving me crazy.

I HAVE FOUND A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM AND HOPE IT WORKS FOR ALL OF YOU

Wifi not working after upgrading to mountain lion

As soon as I updated my MacBook Pro from Snow Leapord to Mountain Lion. My wifi doesn't turn ON. It says WIFI "No hardware found".

Yesterday evening I had the same problem. The sound was stuttering a while, and then it was not possible to adjust the volume settings with the keys. Also my computer (laptop MBpro 2009) was slow as ****, when I tried to open the sound preferences.
Even a reboot didn't help, as setting the audio midi settings. The results where terrible.
Just many hours later I was able to solve this problem. I used a program called ICECLEAN.
I checked/Cleaned the preferences files for the SYSTEM and USER.
still no results.
After that I did a full CLEAN USER AND SYSTEM CACHE.
Reboot the machine and then everything worked correctly.
thanks APPLE!

IPhone 4's WIFI has been not working after upgraded to 6.1.3(10B329)

     My IPhone 4 was working fine with its WIFI when it is running in default IOS version, I believe it was 5.x.x version, however after I upgraded to 6.1.3(10B329) then WIFI got very aweired issues again and again.starting from then I never get my WIFI working again:
1. Sometimes I can connect to my home's network and keep alive for 1-2 minutes then WIFI will not work on IPone, my home's router is not working either, I need to restart my home's router manually;
2. I can connect to my office's network and keep alive 5-10 minutes then WIFI is not working, however my office router is not affected; however the following days then I can't connect WIFI to office's network any more.
3. I tried to connect to other public area's free network via WIFI, however never joined in.
     I called Apple's service centre couple of times they have no clues, they said they never met this problem before for WIFI not working after upgraded to IOS 6.1.3 and no suggestions from them at all, every time I called them they gave me the same suggestion, such as restore-re-install, check your own router etc, nothing help, however my friend bought a brand new IPhone 4 with default IOS version 6.1.3 which is working perfectly without any issues on its WIFI then I believe this is a completely software issue.
     I know this is a general issue for Apple users and I refuse to upgrade to higher version as I am not sure the higher version can fix this issue however I am pretty sure the newer version of IOS did bring a lot of new bugs, anyone can provide me any suggestions guys ? THANKS A LOTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Terrence

I have fixed this issue after upgraded my router's firmware finally, this is a completely compatibility issue between Apple and other third party manufactures, hopefully we can get compabitlity list for each future IOS version ahead of time which can potentially avoid such kind of embarrassing situations moving forward, thanks !

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login 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?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I just fix my macbook air because it was kernel panic. They changed the hard drive. I could not back up with Time Machine, because it did not work and I had over Adobe creative suite 5 design premium student. But I finished my studies last year and I'd like to know how to get the serial number for me to reinstall Adobe creative suite 5 design premium when I am no longer study because I would still like the used? It is not fair if I do anymore because I really need.

You can download Creative Suite 5 here:

I am trying to setup my new time capsule but it is not working. after entering the airport utility and locating the TC, after I tell the program to continue, the unit just disappear and the setup menu says there is an error. Any idea of what is happening?

I am trying to setup my new time capsule but it is not working. after entering the airport utility and locating the TC, after I tell the program to continue, the unit just disappear from the menu and the setup menu says there is an error. I tried using the wireless connection, and also the cable, but none worked. Any idea of what could be happening?

What are you setting it up as.. join wireless network .. the very worst setup, it will disappear.. reboot the whole network in order modem. router TC.. clients and it will likely reappear.
Tell us what network setup you are using..
If you setup with cable to a computer completely isolated from the network with TC also isolated.. finish the setup of everything you want. .before update.. then plug it into the network. .then restart everything in correct order.. it will work most of the time.

Due to NAS issues, when I started a new time machine backup it did not have the old backups available. My question is do I need to delete them or will time machine automatically reclaim the space? Only one Sparse Bundle, same name.

Due to NAS issues, when I started a new time machine backup it did not have the old backups available. My question is do I need to delete them or will time machine automatically reclaim the space? There is only one sparse bundle but when I enter time machine I don't see my historic backups. I use a synology DS212 for my time machine. Started a new backup which is 218gb but it says 618 gb is occupied therefore it looks like 2 or 3 backups are still on the disk. Before my NAS issues the last backup was in 2014. As you can see there is a second sparse bundle from 2012. Not sure what that is.

This is an old message now, but what happened to me similarly was:
I had a major computer crash and through complicated pathways ended up reinstalling (Mavericks) as a new user (long story).
At least I had good Time Machine backups on an NAS drive (Synology DS212j), or so I thought - when I started Time Machine up again, the old backup file was gone, replaced by a new one using my "new computer" name. The old file was gone both by directly mounting the NAS drive and by clicking "Enter Time Machine".
It's like I had {OldShareName}.sparsebundle and then it was replaced by {NewShareName}.sparsebundle, all of the old info vanished.
(I have spent a week finding old files elsewhere and have completed a satisfactory self-restore. It pays to "archive" [my own variation of] as well as "back-up".)
My belief is that if this were a wired-netword-drive, e.g. plugged right into my iMac with a USB cable, then the old file would have remained.
But this is an NAS drive, connected directly to my Airport wireless router, and I don't know the significance of the fact that it stores its Time Machine backups as "sparsebundle" files rather than simply as plain(er) files.
As usual when things get complicated with computers (not just Apple computers) there was never a warning message. Something like "YOU'RE ABOUT TO DELETE A TIME MACHINE BACK-UP FILE!!!" would have made my life a lot simpler.
BTW, I did try a "restore from Time Machine" option the first thing I had my "new computer" (old hardware, 2009 iMac) up and running, using Migration Assistant, and it ran for many hours and then failed in the wee hours - what that has to do with anything I'm not sure.
I'm not sure that I have a question about this other than "why do these things happen to me?", but it's a warning. Apart from that I've been very happy with the stability and reliability (but not the cost or set-up complexity) of NAS vs. directly-cabled external drives.
