Weird airport issue

i'm not quite sure if this is my computer or the network i'm using, but i'm having some weird erratic airport issues. i am on a wireless network at my university, and it usually works just fine. however, a few weeks ago it sporadically started to drop the connection (making my internet slow to non-functional, 1 or 2 bars of signal). the thing that's weird about all of this is that when this happens and i click on "open network preferences", the internet then picks back up without me doing anything further than opening the preferences window. it only lasts a minute, but every time i open the network preferences it somehow jump-starts my internet again (making me think that it's possibly my computer, not just the network). this is probably a stupid question, but i am not entirely savvy with the inner workings of my macbook. i have a 15" macbook pro, and i got it around march of 2008.

Well I tried changing it but to no avail.....
Another piece of info. It's not running N it's running b/g.

  • Weird Playback Issue...

    I have this weird playback issue with iTunes for Windows. I am using Vista and I think the cause of the problem is that I am using MacDrive to access my OS X partition. But anyways, on with the problem. So the problem is that when I play a song, the song will play for like 5 seconds and then it will just go the next song. This song will do the same thing, and so-on and so-forth. Then, during this time, my Mac formatted hard drive is unavailable while iTunes is running. In "My Computer" the drive is there, but when I try to open it, Explorer freezes. Then, when I exit iTunes, it doesn't really exit. It still shows up in the task manager and when I try to end the process, it just plain doesn't end. I have to restart my computer to gain full use of it again. After the restart I can access my Mac disks, but once I start iTunes and try to play a song, I get the same thing again. And in case thats not weird enough, I can play the MP3's in WMP fine, and they will also play in iTunes fine if I actually open them, rather than just select them from my library. If I go to file open and select a song on my Mac drive, it will play fine, but then once I try to play a song from my library, I get caught in that vicious cycle. Anyone else had this problem or anything? Thanks. Also, is there an alternative program to Mac Drive that will allow me to read HFS partitions?

    Post more about your situation... what format is the video, and where are you storing the video files? i.e., on a disk other than your startup disk? The adobe install is likely not the problem... I run adobe software along side FCS on about 75 workstations, and don't see issues like you describe.
    Wavy? not accurate? what are you talking about?

  • MBP Santa Rosa Airport Issues w/ Leopard

    Hi everyone,
    I've noticed a few "quirks" since upgrading to Leopard. Whenever my Macbook Pro (Santa Rosa, 2.4 GHz, 17", 4GB RAM) is searching for a wireless network to join, the system becomes completely unresponsive. The mouse pointer stutters and jumps around the screen and it's impossible to precisely control its movement. When I can finally manage to click on the Airport icon in the menu bar and select the appropriate network to join, the problems stop as soon as a connection to a wireless network is established. It only happens when the system is searching for a Network. I should mention that it does this when I am at work (where I connect via 802.1x and TTLS) and at home (where I connect via an Airport Express Router).
    Also, my computer no longer automatically connects to my work network (it does at home, though) after a restart or waking from sleep). I have my MBP set to prompt me for a password when it wakes from sleep, but it's near next to impossible to enter in the password because the system hangs so badly as it tries to establish a network connection. Of course, it doesn't connect unless I manage to click the Airport icon and specify the network I wish to join. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
    All of this is a little frustrating since the latest updates to Airport in Tiger fixed all of the connection issues I had had previously with my MBP. When I first bought the machine I had many issues with network connections (as did many thousands of others who bought this model). I was wondering if other MBP Santa Rosa owners have observed similar behavior since upgrading to Leopard, and if so, does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this issue?
    I should also mention that my Mac Mini C2D 1.83GHz (latest model) has no such issues so I think this is something that is still linked to this particular model of MBP.
    Many thanks!

    I am moving this over here, from the boot camp section. Hopefully this is more the location that this needs to be in. Well, my problem is not as extreme as some, but still an annoyance. I installed Leopard the first day, and immediately had HUGE airport issues. The computer would lose my hub. I run an Airport Extreme with an Express as a WDS. The computer would see the express, but lose the extreme completely. So no internet. If I messed with it long enough, I could get the computer to recognize the extreme, but as soon as the computer went to sleep, it would lose it again. I installed the keychain update, and the situation didn't get much better. Most of the time I get the "You are not connected to the Internet" error in Safari, and when I run network diagnostics the computer "finds" the internet again, and I get a "Network configuration change detected" message and all my lights go green.
    After I installed the Keychain update, I repaired disk permissions. Any ideas?

  • Airport issues, and "home" folder question

    I'm having a problem with airport utility on my Macbook pro with OSX 10.5.3. It somehow turns itself off, and cannot be turned back on unless, the computer is restarted. Once restarted, it only stays on for a few minutes and then is turned off again. I have a time capsule, and when time machine attempts to back up, it seems to trigger it. However, even with time machine turned off, it still gets turned off. I took it to a genius bar, and the guy there seemed to think making a new account would fix it, but it didn't. It actually created another problem. He deleted my old account but saved the "home" folder. When I log into my new account, I can't access any of my music, documents, photos, etc. How do I get stuff from the saved home folder, to my new home folder???

    Hey Thanks for your replies. The airport issue is being resolved. I was on the phone with applecare, and the problem was actually something with the power supply. For some reason it wasn't supplying power (or enough power) to the airport card, and that is why it would shut itself off and not turn back on. So it is being serviced right now.

  • Weird SMS Issue (iOS 4.2, iPhone 4)

    So I have a weird software issue that's been going on with my new iPhone 4. Every time I get a text message and I "Slide to View" it doesn't take me to the message, rather, it marks the message as read and then takes me the main Messages pane. Is there anything I can do to fix this? It's pretty annoying, along with it sometimes opening up the messages app to an unread message without letting me start at the main screen?
    I do not want to restore because I will lose all of my previous text messages. Is there anything I can do?
    Thanks!!!

    I've had the same problem since updating to iOS 4.2, on Vodafone network (Ireland).
    I'm now dropping most calls in the first minute, I live in the city centre with good network coverage, and I have the cover on...
    I went to the VF store yesterday, was given a new micro SIM in case that was the problem (it wasn't).
    Then rang VF technical support who reckoned it might be a problem with the software not changing quick enough between 3G to 2G network and vice versa to boost signal strength and recommended disabling 3G (this hasn't helped either).
    So I'm sorry for not having an answer, have you heard any fixes elsewhere for the problem though?

  • Airport Issue After Waking From Sleep (White Unibody MacBook)

    Hi all. On my new white unibody MacBook I have an Airport issue that always occurs after I wake the MacBook from sleep. I'm wondering if any of you have a similar issue and/or might not how to solve it.
    Basically, when I wake the MacBook from sleep, it connects to my wireless network (and to whichever network I happen to be using at the time). A few seconds later, it will drop the connection, an exclamation mark will appear on top of the Airport icon on the menu bar, and when I click on the icon I see "Alert: No Internet Connection."
    Then, if I just sit and wait, eventually Airport will connect to the network. But I have to wait -- selecting the network from the available list or turning Airport off and on doesn't help. And sometimes waiting isn't enough -- I sometimes have to go to "Create Network ..." and start all over to get a connection.
    I've upgraded to 10.6.2 and the issue persists. I'd appreciate any help.

    My wife's Macbook has EXACTLY the same problem and I've been through dozens of suggestions trying to fix it and the problem still persists.
    The problem started right after I upgraded to Snow Leopard but also installed an Airport Extreme router and WPA2 wireless encryption. I've deleted all the networks, changed the order to put the Airport as the highest preference, deleted all the keys on the keychain, ran DiskUtility, all to no avail.
    I'm not sure if this is somehow related to the Airport Extreme or occurs with any router. Also, have another MacBook Pro (unibody), and it does't have this problem connecting to the same Airport Extreme.
    The other factor is it is intermittent --- and doesn't always fail. Rebooting the Macbook or the router will get it to re-connect, as will shutting off and turning on the Airport several times. But that's not a solution to the problem.
    Apple needs to pay attention to this as many people are now reporting the problem.

  • 30EA3- 2.*: Weird performance issues for editing objects

    Hi,
    I noticed weird performance issues for editing objects: when right-clicking on them in the navigator tree and selecting Edit, you get the old progress dialog "Connected to database XXX". This stays on screen a lot longer than it ever did (last sequence I edited over 30 seconds!).
    Cancelling displays a "Error retrieving schemas" dialog, but then opens the Edit dialog correctly. No further side effects noticed, so I think sqldev is adding useless overhead here.
    If confirmed, can this be bugged and/or fixed by production?
    Thanks,
    K.

    Yes, I mean in context of other hangs reported. This one is a nasty performance issue, but IMO the others are real show stoppers.
    Atomic steps are easy; any* Edit (object) action inside the context menu of the navigator or the Edit button of the object viewer.
    I took a lot of dumps (every second or so) and came to these findings:

  • Weird permissions issue update

    (see thread below for 7/12/08 "Weird permissions issue"
    I re-installed the 3.1.1 final version of CCC, did another backup, (both HD and clone now had Security update installed (as was the case with the backup using the CCC beta) and, voila, no more permissions errors there either.
    So, it would seem, the problem stemmed from the differing security packages, not CCC.
    BDAqua: I owe you points. Thanks again for your help.
    By the way, is there any conceivable Mac executed scenario by which files can end up in the trash (besides "recovered files") without intentionally placing them there, (not counting sleepwalking and unresponsive, zombie states)? This has happened.

    There were about 7 or 8, all documents: Appleworks.cwk or Word or Word.doc. and one was saved in Simple Text. They were related in content and could have come from a few places as they were grouped, saved in several locations, but really impossible to trace where they resided just before they ended up in Trash.
    I don't want anyone to get too bothered about this. It's one of those things I guess they call an anomaly when no suitable explanation can be found. I was just curious to know if it can happen according to some process in Tiger I don't know about.

  • Slightly different airport issue

    I've seen a lot of topics already about airport issues, but mine is slightly different. My computer has always had issues connecting to my Linksys wrt54g (802.11g). For a while after we switched ISPs it was better but not perfect. It would cut out for a while and I'd have to restart the router and modem to get signal back up.
    Now my computer simply won't recognize my network at least 5 times an hour, probably more. Also, it now has this issue with the network at school. I don't know of anything that's changed to make this happen. At home I now rely on ethernet.
    Could it be something wrong with my Macbook Pro 1,1's airport card? Could it be worn out? Can I replace it?
    HELP PLZ!

    Do you have any other computers connecting wirelessly to your router? I seem to remember seeing MANY issues with the WRT54G router and Macs. Possible that your router is bad as well. Your MBP being the problem is not the only possibility.

  • My computer was rebuilt this week and I am in the process of setting up iTunes and have a weird setup issue. The music in my playlists plays but the same song doesn't play from the library. Initially, I opened ITunes while holding down Shift of control.

    My computer was rebuilt this week and I am in the process of setting up iTunes and have a weird setup issue. The music in my playlists plays but the same song doesn't play from the library. Initially, I opened ITunes while holding down Shift of control key.

    Scratch the post above - the musics that plays in the playlist also plays in the library and that is because i forgot that i imported from the cd yesterday. Basically, I see the rest of my music, but it doesnt' play and tells me it can't locate the file though the location in 'perferences' points to the correct location. Getting iTunes to play after a new computer or rebuild is a headache.

  • Weird freezing issues

    hi all.
    im on an older mac pro and having some weird freezing issues.
    -expose 'show all' and 'minimize' tend to freeze my display mid-animation (mouse and all)
    -at least once a day, usually when using RAM heavy applications, my screen will freeze, but the mouse will keep moving. i cant move anything on the screen besides the mouse. if audio is playing when the screen freezes, it keeps playing. despite the mouse seeming to work, space bar fails to stop the music. after about a minute, the mouse icon is usually replaced by the pinwheel, which spins indefinitely.
    ive already:
    -run the apple hardware test
    -tested my RAM
    -bought & run norton antivirus
    but nothing has been found wrong...
    any thoughts on what to try next?
    a million thanks
    mike

    If Disk Utility can't fix it, you'll need a more robust utility for the repair. I would recommend DiskWarrior. It is the best at directory repairs. It rebuilds then actually replaces your old directory. I feel every Mac owner should have a copy. Make sure you get the disk so you can boot up on it to run repairs. You can also install it on another drive and run it from there to repair this one. DW works faster that way.
    I use DW once a month to try and catch errors in my system from getting too far out of hand.
    If you have a good backup, hopefully a clone of your system before you had issues, an Erase and Install will also rid you of this issue. But, beware! You will lose everything on the drive with this procedure. Let us know if you need help with that!
    Cheers! DALE
    p.s. Here's a rewiew of DiskWarrior 4.

  • Anyone with a 17" MBP C2D having AirPort issues?

    Most of the reports I've seen of people having issues with their MBP C2D and AirPort have the 15" MBP C2D (myself included.)
    Has anyone with the 17" MBP C2D had issues, or is it isolated to the 15"?

    Hi William
    I had a 2.33 15"MBP 2.33and had no probelm with the airport reception (until security update 2006-007 was installed - I erased and reinstalled to get rid of the update and my machine went back to working fine.) Apple have released an update for Airport on the 15". So using software update the machine installed the airport update first, then installed security update 2006-007. Airport worked great.
    Due to an excessively grainy display, my reseller allowed me to return the 15" and upgrade it to the 17". Again, this machine has had absolutely no airport issues. Connects full signal to whatever network I have attempted to connect to without issue.
    So, I have had both a 15" and a 17", neither of them have had any airport issues, other than the one mentioned above in regards security update 2006-007 on the 15", but Apple did launch an Airport update which fixed this.

  • Weird internet airport issue.

    5 computers running on a network.
    3 imac 24"s all on OSX 10.5.6
    2 G5 towers 1 on 10.5.6 the other on 10.4
    3 iMacs are on wifi
    the G5 towers are hard lined.
    The one G5 tower running 10.4 keeps losing internet and then it kills the signal for the rest of the network.
    then a window will pop up saying..
    "IP configuration
    192.xxx.x.x in use by
    00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, DHCP
    server 192.xxx.x.y
    this only happens once he turns on the computer.. everything dominos down hill from there for the rest of the day.
    any help would be greatly appreciated seeing I'm trying to help my boss who's comp is doing it and I keep getting pulled from illustrations to fix issues.

    Hi
    Change that users network setting to DHCP rather than manual. That way everyone is assigned an IP address from the DHCP Server (probably your router) and no two clients will have the same address. If everyone is on a Static address make sure no two are the same.

  • MacBook and MacBook Pro with 10.6:  Wireless Airport Issues with Cisco

    Long Story but please bear with me:
    Loaded SL on my daughters MacBook and my MacBook Pro. Internet worked flawlessly at our house (WEP encrypted) and on other public wifi. When my daughter went back to her sorority house at college 24 hours later, she could not access the internet using the sorority house network (Cisco Aironet 1800 router and Cisco Airo Access Points).
    Her Airport on the MacBook appeared connected at full strength yet no internet. Two calls to Apple support (they were very nice) did not help. All the following were tried:
    1. Reset PRAM
    2. Deleted Airport and Safari plists
    3. Edited locations
    4. Removed Battery
    5. Others I cannot now remember
    Still no net. However, she could 'pirate' and hop on line with other identified public wifi adjacent to the sorority house. I drove to the sorority house today and tried to get on the network wirelessly using my MacBook Pro with SL. Same identical results to hers. Another MacBook without SL works great and gets right on the network.
    Is this some SL influenced issue with the Airport card and the Cisco system? Weird that both of our laptops work great with several other wifi networks but not the one at the sorority house.
    Could much of what we all our seeing with the internet access problem lie not with issues within our software or computers but with the routers and access points not being compatible? I have very little understanding of this stuff (as you all can probably tell) but the Apple Support people acted like it was a old firmware issue with Cisco and not with SL. Not actually what I wanted to hear.
    Any ideas or suggestions?

    Your description there, particularly the last part, sounds like my problem. At home, we connect using Airport and ADSL which was OK, once SL had sorted out passwords.
    At my office, where there are two wifi systems, I could not get on either, although did have IP numbers on both. The link to the outside world is via a proxy which uses a PAC file. Network Diagnostics reported each time (whatever I did) that the link to the server was OK, but the Internet was not.
    I created a new Location with identical settings (typing them in and not copying) and the only visible difference is that the new location has no DNS numbers -- I had not noticed that before. The moment I pressed, Apply, the computer was online.
    I was guessing that there was a conflict in a .plist file somewhere; but now I wonder if DNS might have been the reason (the DNS number usually used is the one from the router itself).

  • Macbook/Airport issues

    Hello..
    Some months ago I bought an Airport Express (now running 7.6.4) to extend the WIFI from an Zyxel modem.
    It has worked without a problem for months. Now however I am having issues with just one of the Macbooks (now running OS X 10.8.5) in the house.
    First of all, Safari is loading VERY slowly and are sometimes loading pages partially whereas other times not loading them at all saying: "Safari cannot open page" (this is my translation from danish). Second of all, neither Mail or App Store seems to be online. Mail is not loading any new mails and App Store gives me the message: "Cannot make connection to App Store Internet connection required" (again my translation from danish - it might not be exact). Transmission has 25 finished torrents in queue and is not uploading, so I would think that this application does not really have internet either. Actually it seems as though the computer is offline, although Safari does load a page from time to time which I think is sort of weird.
    When connecting to the Airport using an ethernet cable everything runs smoothly! The problem is only there when using WIFI.
    My girlfriends Macbook is running 10.6.8 without any of the issues Im having. We also have two Apple TVs working without issue.
    I have updated my Mac and the Airport and I have tried to disable DNS Prefething, none of which have solved my issues.
    Please help!
    Thanks in advance

    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Take all the applicable steps in this support article. If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
    Step 2
    Run Software Update and install all available updates for OS X or your computer's firmware.
    Step 3
    If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
    From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
    If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it. Note: this is not applicable to OS X 10.9 or later.
    Step 4
    This step will erase some of your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with "com.apple.airport.preferences.plist" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Recreate your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 5
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Step 6
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
