When I wake my iMac from sleep, the wireless does not connect. I have to shut shutdown and then restart and then it connects. I am running Lion 10.7.3 Any thoughts?

Been waiting along time for this problem to be fixed. Unfortunately the update hasn't help at all and even made the situation worse. Now my airplay connection from iMac to stereo abruptly stops after about 10-15 min. so I have to go over and quit wifi, start it up and find my airport network. Not sure why it always has a problem with the apple airport network. My neighbor's pc network is always there.

I am currently using a USB keyboard (PC Model) and everytime I wake the computer from sleep the keyboard no longer responds unless I unplug and replug it. The USB mouse I am using works fine with no issues and I have already gone through the prompt to identify the keyboard in the settings. If anyone know of a setting I can use to permenantly enable the keyboard so I no longer have to unplug and replug it that would be appreciated.
Thank you.Your 2010 MBP would be able to handle Yosemite, but I would strongly suggest that you get the current problem sorted out before trying to upgrade to Yosemite. I'd also recommend another backup that isn't created by Time Machine if you are thinking of upgrading. SuperDuper and CarbonCopyCloner can make bootable clones of hard drives. If you clone your existing system to a fresh external drive, you would be able to boot from that drive and recover quickly in the event that your Yosemite upgrade didn't work out. Time Machine backups are not 100% reliable.
It's possible that, if your internal HD is the one that shipped with your MBP in 2010, it may be failing. If it keeps needing repairs, that is probably a sign that it is approaching the end of its useful life.
Have you run Disk Utility's Repair tool on the external drive as well?
I mentioned the hub because some people have reported here that attaching their USB 3 drives through a USB 2 hub solved some disconnection problems. A good-quality powered USB 2 hub won't cost much.
My most recent brush with random disconnections involved a nice new OWC drive enclosure. I used the cable that came with the drive, but the drive kept disconnecting. Using a different cable solved the problem. You wouldn't expect that what appeared to be a high quality cable would be a problem straight out of the box, but it was. -
When I try to scan from my printer it does not connect
When I try to scan from my printer I get a message "Cannot find HP deskjet 3050 j610". But i can print from it and get printer data like ink supply. This started abruptly today. It was working OK until a couple days ago. The printer is connected by a USB cable. I have tried updating driver and "fixing" scanning problems via HP menus without success. If I press the scan button on the printer it says "scan error. try scan from computer" But this is what I usually do by using the compute icon on the START menu.
This question was solved.
View Solution.I've resolved the problem. The basic steps were (1) using the HP links to update my printer driver and search for errors in the scan program. (2) restart my printer and computer. After doing the first part, I saw no results listed. Normally I would have restarted the printer and the computer, but was afraid of losing my sites and the survey so I continued to search the various comments. I found a reference to this site in one of the post near mine for a #7520 device but cannot get back to it right now to give the author of the post. I think I sent him a reply.

This site gives a lot of advice for various situations and devices. I followed the advice as it applied to my computer and printer which ended with step 2 (I use a USB connection) and the scanner worked again. -
HT4859 When I log onto icloud from my laptop, it does not appear to have any of my contacts.
I am attempting to back up my phone as my ability to connect to the internet with my data connection is not working. They have told me I need to reset my phone to get my data portion working. I can still text and make calls, connect on wifi, but can not connect to the internet via my cell/data. I don't want to reset my phone if I don't have to.
Erika...I am having the same problem; it started about 24-36 hours ago.
I know my ID/PW combo are correct because I can access all other aspects of iCloud except mail.
iPhone -- returns incorrect ID / Password
iPad -- Same
Mail.app on Mac -- returns incorrect password error
icloud.com -- allows me to log in and use all functions accept mail. When I try to use mail it stays on a white screen for about 60 seconds then returns a dialogue box that indicates a server error.
I contacted Apple and they placed my iCloud account into something called "Troubleshooting" mode. They generated a new strong password and sent it on to "Engineering."
I suspect there are a small number ofo users like you who are affected with the same problem I am. Too small a number for it to be reported as an outtage. I suggest you call Apple and open a case to have your mail investigaged.
Hope this helps... -
When the mac wakes from sleep, the wireless icon disappears
Hi All, I have a third party wireless PCI card in the PowerMac G4 MDD which works fantastically. The only issue I have is when the machine wakes from sleep, the wireless icon disappears from the top menu and the machine freezes and I have to force shut down.....
Any ideas?
I am running 10.5.8....Hi, Garry -
It seems some PCI cards don't handle sleep well; sometimes they exhibit behavior such as you've noted, sometimes they just prevent the machine from entering sleep.
In many cases the solution can be to sleep only the monitor; in the Sleep prefs pane, set the sliders for System and Hard Drive to "never", and the one for the monitor to your choice of delay. This arrangement also means waking from sleep is faster. -
Cannot wake my iMac from sleep
I put my iMac to sleep by doing one of required steps. However, I cannot wake my iMac from sleep. I am using a wired keyboard and a wireless mouse.
May I know what is the problem?Hi nihow-
But you are not done.
One of those devices is preventing your mac from waking. You may want to try plugging them back in one at a time and use it for a while to see if you can find the culprit.
Luck-

When i put my Mac for sleep it takes more time than normal (>20 secs). Sometimes, coming back from sleep the system is not responding (freeze).
Perform SMC and NVRAM resets:

I've found two bugs in iOS 7:
1) declined calls does not appear as missed calls on the lock screen/notification centre - iOS 7.0.2.
2) when bluetooth is enabled from control center, it does not connect to an already paired bluetooth device automatically - iOS 7.0.We are all users here, just like you, but you can tell Apple about it by using this link:

When I launch a video from Finder the video is not visible, it's like it's playing on an extended desktop but I can't see the other screen - what is going on?
Hi Dan - I'm not sure I know what you mean by 'kick in Expose', can you please explain?
It's a weird one as it doesn't happen all the time. Could it have anything to do with running Apple TV and the MacBook 'thinking' there is another display (extended desktop) and playing the video there? -
I have 2 email addresses on the phone. How come only one accepts a alert tone. When I receive an email from 2nd email it does not notify me of its arrival. What am I doing wrong?
Each email account can have its own alert or notification settings.
Settings > Notifications > Mail > tap on each account and set the alerts you want. -
When trying to install apps from app store it does not prompt an apple id and after 15 minutes says "cannot connect to itunes store".
Your Apple ID may be greyed out because of restrictions. Settings>General>Restrictions>Allowed Changes>Accounts. If you set that restriction, your ID will be greyed out. Nobody can make changes to the account without entering the passcode to change disable the restriction.
Maybe something in here will help, even though this is not exactly what you are experiencing.

When I link to an external site, the link does not work, if I right click "Open in new tab" the link works.
I have not changed any of my preferences and they look like they are as I would have left them.
I tried resetting Firefox and deleting the preference file, no change.
By the way, I hate that the tabs are on top and not where they belong above the pages they are for. There should still be a way in Firefox to put them back without having to use an add-in. -
I can load a CD on to my PC - iTunes but when I sync with my iPhone 5s the CD does not load onto my iPhone 5S.
Help!You can sort your library by adding a Sorting info in the File Info. Select a file in iTunes U, press cmd + i, choose Sorting Tab. For example add a Sort Name. For each file you have to put a value into that field, I did it with 01, 02, 03 .. 12. I do not know if this works if you select multiple files, but I did not try.
The next time you sync your device, your files will be in order. It' ve tested it on an iPad2.
If you ask me, there must be a better solution for that problem as the files have a track number saved in the info as well, and it is quite annoying to add the sorting order manually. -
