Why can't lion stay connected to wifi, why can't lion stay connected to wifi
since i upgraded to Lion, my computer cannot stay connected to my wifi network, I'm the only user on the network, my iphone and ipad stay connected, when I had snow leopard it stayed connected, but lion boots me off my network every 2 minutes and it takes 10 min to reconnect when coming out of sleep or screen saver.
this is the worst OS apple has ever released and if i could go back to snow leopard I would, but i cannot because of icloud.
In my opionion, this is bull crap
I had a similiar issue where under 10.7.3 it would be consently searching for WIFI even when it was connect and would drop the connection numerous times throughou the day . Since updating to 10.7.4, the problem has gone away. I would recommend updating if you haven't already

i am trying to connect to my friend's wifi, i have a very strong signal indicated on my ipad, but cannot connect to the internet. Yesterday i connected without any problem, can anybody tell me why i cannot connect today?
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Why do I have to connect my ipad(4th gen) to my laptop to download apps? I downloaded some yesterday, but now they just say waiting. If I connect to ITunes, I can get them through that. I am not using cellular data, just through wifi.
Any ideas greatly appreciated, it will save me a journey to the apple storeI have now solved it. I signed out of my iTunes account and then held down both the power buttons until the apple appeared. When I signed back in it started downloading.

Just bought iPhone 5 and try to use Wifi at home, but it cannot connect Wifi, whereas, my another iPhone4 can connect Wifi, why? how to resolve? Pls advise. Thanks.
Make sure you're updated to iOS 6.0.2, I know that has had something to do with Wi-Fi for a lot of people.

I have a brand new iMac. It was working fine until I downloaded Mavericks. Now I have web pages that freeze while trying to load. The blue in the address bar stalls and freezes. If I try to load from page 1 to a later page, or reverse that, I also have the same problem. I tried to connect my printer for the first time, and again, the blue progress bar froze. Then I got the yellow triangle telling me there was a connection problem. My internet connection is via an Air Card as that is my only option where I live. I packed up the whole new iMac and took it to my Air Card provider, where they also have very fast Wifi, and they had the same problem with Wifi. I use my Air Card with my MacBook and it works JUST GREAT! I really want to return to Lion. HELP.
The only way to retutn to Lion is to format your drive (erase, lose all) and either:
1. clone back the clone copy i hoep you have, or
2. first backup your files, then format and install Lion again
But really, mavericks works great. You have a problem. Find out why. First, what unusual software do oyu have installed that may be conflicting with it? Virus, system modifiers, etc? Second what OLD software do you have that might be the problem. finally, you might need to do a re-install if something errored during install.

I hve a late 2009 iMac at home that I've upgraded to Lion. So far, there are only 2 issues that I'm having:
1 - When I wake the iMac from a long sleep, it doens't automatically log into my wifi network. I have to drag the mouse up to the menu bar, click on the signal icon and choose my wifi network. A few tiems yesterday, the computer stopped recognizing the network while I was in the middle of surfing. Haven't had that in a while, but the inability to log in directly after waking up remains.
2 - I use Firefox to surf. I can no longer move backwards and forwards between pages by swiping left or right. It works in Safari, but not in Firefox. Is that a new functionality that has to be rebuilt into Firefox because of Lion?Caleb was here wrote:
I have a similar wifi problem after installing Lion. When my computer goes to sleep or I turn my wifi off, it won't reconnect to my wireless network. I have to manually select it and then retype my wep password. It tries to connect and then says "connection timeout" and the login failed, however, even though it says that it was unable to connect, it actually does connect and I get regular connectivity. Frustrating.
I have a 15" core i7 2010 MBP.
@Caleb was here. I had the same issue before I switched to Lion, turned out it was some issue with my router. I bought another router and I haven't had the issue since. Try changing from WEP to WPA (you should do this anyway) and see if you have the same issues still. -

Samsung WiFi printer can't connect to new Quantum Gateway router?!
We recently replaced our 3-year-old router with the latest Quantum Gateway router and upgraded fios speed from 25/25 to 50/50.
Every device (PC, phones, tablets, and TV) was able to connect to the new network. BUT, our Samsung Wifi printer (M283x seriers) cannot connect at all. With the older router, we were able to access the printer thru Wifi network from two different PCs..
We did not relocate the router and we did not move the printer, so singal strength was not the issue. We even uninstalled and then re-install printer driver to PC to set up the network again. Tried every connecting option that Samsung had suggested, but everything failed.
We also tried to log in to Router Admin site to add this printer, didn't work. WPS was turned on and we couldn't figure out why this new network doesn't add the printer. This router did not like our printer.
One funny thing was that if we turned OFF all the security settings, the router allowed this device to connect to WiFi.
Can anyone help? Thanks a lot!
Solved!
Go to Solution.I have a solution for you. After upgrading to the Quantum Gateway last week, My Samsung 2835 printer had the same problem. It turns out that the printer doesn't play well with the Quantum Gateway when the Samsung "Wi-Fi Direct" function is enabled. All you have to do is log in to the printer web page. Then, under Settings--> Network Settings--> Wi-Fi Direct... Turn Wi-Fi Direct off using the drop down menu. Hit "Apply", then power cycle the printer. After this you can use WPS or manually configure the printer and it will connect right away. Thank the Verizon technical guy J.W. for figuring this one out by capturing the Wi-Fi traffic between the Gateway and printer.

can anyone help, my late 2010 MBA's - OS X Lion 10.7.5 wifi won't turn on after a deep sleep.. thanks..!
Hi John,
Thanks for the additional information. What I would try next is resetting System Management Controller:
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
You can find the full article here:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

If this still doesn't help, it would be time to take it in to be looked at. You can setup an appointment at a Genius Bar by clicking on the following link:

Why can't I see all servers on my network with Lion?
Why can't I see all servers on my network with Lion, but I can with Snow Leopard? Am I missing a setting somewhere? This is really frustrating and I'll have to go back to snow leopard if it can't be fixed. I can see other macs fine, but network servers and PC servers are missing. Sometimes they do appear in 'Shared All' and I can connect OK, but then they disappear again. Is this a bug with Lion, or am I missing something really simple? I can't work properly at the moment, so Lion has been a disaster for me. Any help really appreciated. Thanks
Please update to the most recent version of Firefox:

Mac can't connect to wifi, windows can
My iPad cannot stay connected to my home wifi network (Time Warner Cable using UBee modem/router). The iPad recognizes the wifi network, acquires an IP Address, connects for approx 5 min and then the the connection no longer loads webpages or loads any data. The iPad remains connected to the network with a strong signal but it cannot load pages. At the same time 2 other windows laptops connect to the network fine.
I've restarted the device, the router, and checked the router settings to confirm that it has enough simultaneous CPEs from the DHCP server to connect and it is at 253.
I'm skeptical that Time Warner is limiting the number of devices I can connect, but I am able to connect many windows devices without a problem.
Any suggestions?SOLUTION!
Hi there, had this problem recently and your post led me to investigate it even more and not ignore and finally managed to find a solution. and its a simple one believe it or not. Here's what you do:
1) From your mac interface (while windows 8 is running), right click on the VMware Fusion icon and select the option Virtual Machine Library.
2) A new window should show, showing you the windows 8 you are currently running and what is displayed there at the moment. Right click on the Windows 8 screen and select the option Settings.
3) 3 rows of options will show, in the second row (named: Removable Devices), select Network Adapter.
4) Now you should be able to see the source of which your Windows 8 takes interenet. Mine was taking internet by sharing with my mac. so the option "Share with My Mac" was ticked. I did change that to "Wi-Fi" by ticking that option from the list "Bridged Networking" just under "Share with my Mac".
It would probably require administrative power to change that, insert your password and make sure the option Wi-Fi is ticked and then simply close the window.
Go back and launch Windows 8, your internet should be working fine. Good luck. -

IPod 4th Gen will no longer connect to my home wifi, what can I do?
This problem started recently, I would arrive home, take my iPod off airplane mode (and yes, wifi did turn on) but my iPod would just not connect to my home wifi. I went to wifi>choose a network and manually selected my network but when I did, it would say "Unable to joine the network 'network name'". This problem slowly got worse: when I would wake up in the mornings or after not using my iPod for a long period of time, the same issue would occur! Usually it would take at least an hour if i was lucky of consatant retrying before, miraculously, it would connect. That was, up until yesterday though, when it would just simply not connect and display the message. I have tried almost everything I could think of: forgetting the network, restarting the iPod, restarting the modem/router (its an all in one setup), and even resetting the iPod but it just won't work, so now i'm stuck with a wiped iPod that just won't connect. One last thing, all my other wireless devices (iPad, PS3, laptop) work just fine and my iPod can connect to other networks. Please help me as I use my iPod very frequently and can't even restore to iCloud back-up.
Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device 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 your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
