Upon restart, doesn't automatically connect to wi-fi

Since upgrading to 10.7, every time I restart my iMac (Intel, 3.06 GHz, 12 GB RAM, late October 2009 model) it doesn't automatically connect to my home's wi-fi. I have to go into the wi-fi menu in the menubar and select my network.
Anybody else having this problem? Any solutions?
I'm running 10.7.1 with the latest security update.
Thanks,
doug

How come my macbook Pro doesn't automatically connect to my wifi when it is saved under known networks?

How come my macbook Pro doesn't automatically connect to my wifi when it is saved under known networks and i have the box checked under network settings?

Random35,
does your wi-fi router filter access by MAC address? If it does, then have you added your MacBook Pro’s MAC address to your router’s whitelist of acceptable MAC addresses?

Airport doesn't automatically connect to my preferred network

I had my hard drive replaced and ever since my airport doesn't automatically connect to my wifi network. I have specified my network as my preferred network in my system preferences.
I need to re-connect to the network manually (ie: I need to select my network form the drop down list) each time I wake my computer up from sleep mode.
How do I have my airport automatically connect??

Go to System Preferences then select the Network icon.
Select the airport adaptor then click advanced
the first tab "Airport" has all your recent SSID's listed.
Select the desired network and drag it to the top of the list and check the " Remember Networks this computers has joined."
Apart from that the next best thing would be to removed all the networks from the list and add that network you wish to join to verify its configuration

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My MacBook Pro doesn't automatically connect to my home wifi. Is there a way to set that up?

I'm new to macs as of last night. Which would explain why perhaps this is an easy task, but I have difficulty with it. Here's my situation; my wireless network is password protected. When I initially connected to it it prompted me to put in a password, I did, and then I was connected. Every time I turn my computer back on or wake it up, I have to go up, click on wifi, click on "Tardis1" and click connect. It doesn't ask me to put in the password again, however it doesn't connect automatically like it should. It also gives me this message every time I manually link it, "Mac connected as wep but not wepa/wepa2 personal" or something along those lines. Any help would be great, thanks!

Hello, andyBall_uk. I figured out the problem, and I'm going to reply to it on here in case anybody else has the same issue they can see this solution. I already had an iOS device before, which saved a "keychain" of the old login info for the router. This was back when the router did have WEP security. Since then, it has been reconfigured for WPA2 however my old keychain was trying to join it as WEP.
To solve this, I went to System Preferences>Network>Advanced
From here, I noticed the
[ + ] [ - ] Drag Networks into the order you prefer
Highlighting my router and hitting the [ - ] sign removed the keychain that would previously only connect as WEP. This now allowed my computer to automatically connect to the router every time I opened it or turned it on.

System Doesn't Automatically Connect To My Airport Network

My MacBook Pro (10.4.10) no longer automatically connects to my airport network (snow model). Airport Admin Util v. 4.2.3.
My wife's iMac also needs to manually find the network. This wasn't the case until recently.
Any suggestions?

Do you use AirPort's "Preferred Networks" setting when connecting to the base station?
If so, try the following:
1. Delete Preferred Network(s)
o System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
o In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
o Delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list
2. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
o Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
o Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
o Restart, or log out then back in.
3. Add Preferred Network(s)
o System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
o In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
o Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
o Restart or log out then back in.

Macbook pro doesn't automatically connect to my wireless network

I have set up my network preferences with my wireless networka the top of the list. This used to ensure I automatically connected, but now I have to manually connect everytime I wake my computer.

I-phone doesn't automatically connect to wi-fi

Since my i-phone 4s has been upgraded to 5.1 software, I've had all wi-fi problems. First, I had to reset all network settings which allowed me to connect to wi-fi but once I leave the wi-fi range and get on the 4G network, the phone doesn't get back to wi-fi without me having to reenter password. I'm hoping I do not have to erase everything in the phone and start from new. Anyone else have this problem?

Wifi doesn't automatically connect after installing Time Capsule

I've been having problems wifi connectivity on both of my MacBook Pros since installing a 2TB Time Capsule. They lose the wifi connection when they go to sleep/restart and I must manually select the wifi network to connect (and it takes AWHILE for it to pop up). Both are running Mountain Lion.
I know there are a lot of wifi connectivity issues out there, but I wonder if mine is different since it happened directly after installing the Time Capsule.
Also, and I'm not sure if its related, but I no longer have the Airport option in my network preferences...nor is it there when I try to "+" a new one.
Any suggestions?

I had this problem for months. My Macbook Pro wouldn't reconnect to my wifi after sleep. Eventually found the solution - for me anyway. I switched off the 5GHz frequency on my router. I have a BT router and it operates on 2.4 GHz and 5GHz. Straight after I disabled 5GHz, it never had a problem reconnecting after sleep after that. Simple as that. I'll paste the link to the article I found below but this forum may remove it.

AirPort does not automatically connect when IP settings assigned manually

Hello,
Since I manually set up the TCP/IP settings in System Preferences > Network > AirPort, I have found that upon waking my iBook, it no longer connects to our AirPort network automatically. Instead I have to go to the AirPort menu and select our home network manually. As you can imagine, this is somewhat annoying.
I imagine it's designed this way as when you enter another wireless network you aren't going to want to use those same manual TCP/IP settings.
Is anyone aware of a workaround for this?
I'm not using DHCP as I want the iBook to retain the use of the '10.0.1.200' IP address, which the AirPort Extreme points port 80 traffic towards. 'DHCP with a manual address' seems like the way to go. However, with this setting my iBook is unable to determine the subnet mask or router address (why this happens is beyond me, since surely the iBook gets this information via DHCP?).
Any ideas? Am I missing something really obvious?
Jon.

Huh?
I have I think. "Configure via IPv4:" is set to "Manually". I have then manually set my IP address to "10.0.1.200", the subnet mask to "255.255.255.0", the router to "10.0.1.1" and the DNS servers to my ISP's DNS servers. I have no problems with the Internet connection. I don't think the problem lies here, if that's what you are talking about.
The problem I have is that, when my iBook wakes (or is logged in) it doesn't automatically connect to our wireless network. Instead I have to manually select it from the AirPort menu, which is annoying. If I use the "Configure IPv4: Using DHCP" option it all works fine, apart from the fact that I can't use the IP address I want to use.
It seems to me that if you configure manually AirPort won't auto-connect upon wake, for fear of connecting to a different wireless network using your manual TCP/IP settings.

10.6.7 fails automatic connection to wireless

Since the 10.6.7 update on my early 2010 MacBook Pro, I have had unreliable networking. I move between home and work, wireless and wired. The wireless configuration is saved, and it previously quickly and automatically connected. Now, at each site when I first connect to the network, it doesn't make a connection and on wireless it doesn't automatically connect. I have to repeatedly disconnect and reconnect wireless or unplug and replug in the wire.
This latest time on the wire, I tried four times, and it still would not connect. So, I tried turning wireless off and on, and the wired then connected. Before, I only tried unplug/replug the wire, and that worked.
I've looked at the networking configuration, and the IP address and DNS are correct. But, I cannot connect to the network. No web browsing, no email.
It looks like 10.6.7 introduced a fault in networking related to connecting wirelessly.
Has anyone else seen this? Any insights?
Thanks,
==Leonard

It might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until the problem is resolved, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
1) Use the AirPort menu bar item to turn AirPort off, then on again.
2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort menu.
3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort item from the left column, then add it back.
4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
5) In the same panel, select the AirPort connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease". Note that the fix this step implements may be temporary.
6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( _not_ <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
These steps may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try. Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them. If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.

2007 MacBook Pro w/ Mac OS X Lion Can't Automatically Connect to my Wi-Fi Network...

Hello everyone,
I have a late 2007 15" MacBook Pro (not Unibody model) that has been recently upgraded to Mac OS X Lion (not Mountain Lion).
Ever since the upgrade, when I power it on, everything loads as it should but what I notice is that my MacBook doesn't automatically connect (or finds) my wireless router. I have to click on the wi-fi antenna icon on the top right hand corner, and manually select my Wi-Fi connection from the pull down list. What's even more bizaare is that my MacBook knows to automatically connect because it's in my preferred network list.
I also have a 27" iMac with Mac OS X Lion and I don't get this issue. It simply powers up and automatically connects to my wireless network. I tried to compare configuration settings on both my MacBook and iMac but everything appears to match.
All of my software updates are up to date.
I really hate powering on my MacBook and manually select it from the pull down list of available networks.
Any help? Suggestions? I'm really scratching my head on this one.
Thanks!

Things to do on the affected MBP.
Switch off WiFi
In System Preferences, Network, WiFi interface, Advanced - remove the problematic network.
Go to Keychain, (Applications, Utilities) and remove keys associated with that network.
Switch on WiFi and try to connect again.
Please report back.

IPhone and now iTouch not automatically connecting

I just purchased the iPhone 3GS and tried to connect it to my MacBook and it doesn't automatically connect. I first thought it was the USB cord but I tried the cord from my iTouch which recently worked. That didn't work either so I tried to connect my iTouch and now that doesn't connect either. The cord works in my charger, but not to my computer. Why?

Try reinstalling iTunes (just download and run the installer, no need to delete anything first). If that fails, remove and reinstall AMDS:

SAP system doesn't automatically start after restart (but manual start ok)

Hi,
We've got a new production line of SAP EP 7.0 systems, which have CI on HP-UX and DIs on windows. The version is NW2004s SPS09.
What we see is that after a restart of the windows servers (usually because of windows patching), the SAP system doesn't automatically start up. It doesn't start up if I restart the SAP<SID>_<instance> service either.
However, I've got no problem starting the system with the MMC.
Any idea what I am missing here? is it as simple as a profile parameter ?
As far as I can see the profile used seem ok.
After a restart of the windows server the following files have log entries in the c:\usr\sap\<SID>\J<instance>\work folder
sapstartsrv.log
trc file: "sapstartsrv.log", trc level: 0, release: "700"

Failed to update service environment from user (STATOIL-NET\<sid>adm) environment. [ntservmgr.cpp 201]
(note that this doesn't happen for all systems which have this problem, for other there is no entry like this)
I see no failed login attemps in the security event log, but see the that a login is performed for SAPService<SID>.
Since it also fails to automatically startup when I restart the service, I am able to use filemon to see what happens at a file level. Here I see that it can access the shared file system without any problems, and can read the profile and everything.
MOM is running on the server and gets some Access denied errors since it doesn't have access to the shared file system, but I don't think that matters.
Cheers
Dagfinn

How to stop Access Connections from automatically connecting to WAP at turn on or restart?

I had a problem with my X200 winxp sp3 wireless connection. I got it working OK again but in the process I did something that changed the action of Access Connections when I turn on or restart the machine where it automatically connects to the WAP whereas before it did not do this, rather it required a manual connection. For the life of me I can't find the setting that controls this behavior...can anyone point me in the right direction.
thanks for any feedback
*Smith & Wesson...the original point and click interface*

Might not answer completely, but what is your "profile" set to? I have a "profile" called Office that wll only use the "hardwire" LAN Connection. I have another "profile" called Mobile that will only use the Intel Wireless card, yet another that is "HSPA Modem" that will only use the AT&T wireless card.
Could it be that your "profile" is set to use just your Wireless Connection?
Just a thought -
