Why do I have to "set up" Airport Connect. after "sleep" or logging off?

I installed OS 10.5.4 a couple of months ago. Ever since then each time I log on to the internet or just get my mail (from Apple Mail) I get a message that I'm not connected. I then have to punch a multitude of buttons to get on again. I've found no help in any sources I've been to. We're cable with a router and an ethernet on our office computer. I haven't installed Leopard on it--I'm afraid of the problems I'll have. It's ethernet.
It's the airport MacBook that's having the log on problems. Any help from anyone?
P.S. I've assigned our NetGear to be the first on the list of connections. (I have several other coffee shop type places in the list as well.) So, the problem is coming from somewhere else in the OS system. Thanks!

Is your router firmware up to date?
A quick search of the forum turns up an identical issue

You might search for losing network or airport connection. There are many similar posts.

  • Lost Airport Connection after sleep/shutdown

    Hi there,
    I have spent a goodly part of this weekend trying to solve this problem, the time has now come to seek assistance from someone who might know what they are doing!
    I have an Airport Extreme Base Station, it is connected to an ADSL ethernet router and then to the ADSL phone line. My G5 connects directly to the router via ethernet. My G3 iBook has an airport card and, sometimes anyway, connects to the internet via the base station.
    The problem I have been having is that whenever the iBook goes to sleep it loses its Airport connection and to get it back again takes forever switching Airport on and off, going into Internet connect, changing around the TCP/IP settings etc. I eventually get the connection back (with the original settings), but it's becoming a real pain. The same thing happens after a restart or shutdown, it doesn't automatically connect to Airport and takes forever to get it to. A lot of the time the Base Station doesn't show up as an available network, then all of a sudden it will after various tweakings.
    I have checked the airport card and it is positioned correctly. The fact that it occassionally recognises the Base Station makes me think also that the card is OK. So my question is, how can I keep the darn thing connected? I feel there is something simple I am missing.
    Incidently, this began happening after I had set it up to print through the Base Station, that only worked for a short period of time. I have since get rid of all those settings.
    Hope I have given enough information.
    Cheers

  • I have a mini mac that when in sleep or log off gets lost.

    I Never tried this in 10 or 15 years. Now is a good as a time as ever.
    I have a mini mac, nice little guy or gal if you are a girl.
         When I put in on log out and it sits for a while sometimes a long time sometimes for a short time.
              long time all day, short time 30 minutes or less.
         The little rainbow circle comes out and that's it gang. It needs rebooting.
                        Is there something that can change it to waking up like I do. Alert !!!
    Well, that's it.
    Love and Hugs

    Hi Jim,
    See if it's related to this...
    It also seems to be related to later OSX versions, like 10.8.x & 10.9.x
    The 2012 macs (and later apparently) (also later OSX versions on earlier Macs can do it also), not waking normally from sleep after hours being in sleep. (noted here ...

    "Why 2012 iMac/2012 Mac Mini won't Wake After Hours of Sleep (Hibernates/Powers Off)")
    The sleepimage file still reappears even if never slept. Delete it (hibernate off, etc) - within minutes its back.

  • Why does my iPad 3 lose the wifi connection after sleeping?, Why does my iPad 3 lose the wifi connection after sleeping?

    When I am connected to the corporate network and my ipad goes to sleep, it forgets the network....  I have to reconnect manually. This only a happens at work.  At home, I connect as soon as I get close to the house. How do I correct this issue?????
    Thanks!!!

    Thanks for the suggestions. The "Ask" switch is already off.
    I am baffled because all my other devices work as expected, except my iPad. More frustrated than baffled I guess...

  • Why do I have to set the PrincipalName property on my discovered ApplicationComponent instances?

    In the simple example below I define three classes:
    MyComputerRoleClass (with base Microsoft.Windows.ComputerRole)
    MyLocalApplicationClass (with base Microsoft.Windows.LocalApplication)
    MyApplicationComponentClass (with base Microsoft.Windows.ApplicationComponent)
    As well as a hosting relationship
    MyLocalApplicationClassHostsMyApplicationComponentClass
    that let's MyLocalApplicationClass host MyApplicationComponentClasses.
    In a timed PowerShell discovery targeting the RootManagementServer (Root Management Server Emulator) I create
    1 MyComputerRoleClass instance
    1 MyLocalApplicationClass instance and 
    2 MyApplicationComponentClass instances hosted on the instance of MyLocalApplicationClass
    By setting the PrincipalName property for the instances of MyComputerRoleClass
    and MyLocalApplicationClass I implicitly create hosting relationship instances of
    Microsoft.Windows.ComputerHostsComputerRole and Microsoft.Windows.ComputerHostsLocalApplication
    respectively.
    But why do I have to set PrincipalName on instances of MyApplicationComponentClass as well? If I don't I'll get this error:

    Do you see two versions of iMovie in your Application folder?
    You can drag the icons out of the dock and then drag what you want back to the dock from the Application folder.

    After an update to firefox I keep getting a warning from my Firewall (McAfee) "Program wants internet access". I have permission set at outgoing for firefox and updates checking off, to check that request is valid so what does it need access for

    This was not a Firefox update, but a piece of malicious software you have inadvertently downloaded from a site called http://ffftp.co.cc/ which is impersonating Firefox. I discovered this as soon as my Zonealarm requested permission for "Golds" to access the internet. Golds??!! However I couldn't find a file with this name installed on my computer.
    You should delete the file you downloaded and certainly do not allow internet access to any suspicious program. If you have already given permission, scan your PC immediately for any virus, malware, etc. Best of luck.

  • Macbook Pro loses Airport Extreme after the Screen switches off.

    I am experiencing problems where my MBP is losing the network connection with my Airport Extreme after the screen switches off (the MBP is not does not sleep).
    I could be watching a video streaming from my MBP to my ATV, and all of a sudden it stops, and the ATV loses its connection with my MBP. On looking at the MBP it is still connected to the internet, but it can't physically see my Airport Extreme. I've opened the Airport Utilities program and it cannot find the Airport Extreme, even though I am still connected to it.
    The only way I can fix it is to turn off the Airport on my MBP and then turn it back on and everything comes right.
    This has only just started happening in the last week or so, and I have never had a problem before.
    I've had a look through the forums, and on Google, but others seem to be losing their internet, etc. I am still able to access the internet, just not anything connected the Airport Extreme (e.g. USB harddrive).

    What are you doing to change it to a static channel? I've been having this same problem and have tried going to Network Settings>>Advanced>>TCP/IP>>Configure IPv4, changed setting to "Using DCHP with manual address", and changed the IP address to an available ip. I've done this a lot of times before I had the monitor problem to solve the IP conflict problems I get sometimes on my network, but this didn't fix the external monitor issue. Is there something else I should be doing? Thanks

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. 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.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    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
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Why do I have to set call forwarding 3 times every time?

    I have an iPhone 5s running 7.1.1.  Every time I have to set my call forwarding I have to enter the number that I want to forward to (doesn't the phone store this?) and I have to set it 3 times.  I go to Settings-->Phone-->Call Forwarding then select the slider to on (my number I have forwarded to previously is not in the list.  I type in my number and select Back.  The number isn't saved and the slider is still off.  I click the slider and am directed to enter the number to forward to.  I type in number a choose Back.  The number isn't saved and the slider is still off (again).  I select the slider to turn Call Forwarding on (3rd time).  I input number and select back and FINALLY the call forwarding is set.  Come on Apple.  I would expect this from droid junk, not you.  Anyone else having this problem?

    Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

    The problem with "Collections" its just not user friendly. Also, all my photo have two sets in "Collections". Is there any way that I can delete one set of my photo from "Collections"? What do I need to do on my iTunes, iPhoto and my iPhone? This will be must appreciated.
    Finally I really want to have "Camera Roll" back. Its really useless to have "Collections" as it sort out my photo via time. That makes a lot of space between photo when its rang by date. its too small to see when its range by year. So, it is really useless things to have. I prefer to have "Camera Roll" back.

    You should have three different folders named "Library". They are
    <~/Library>, or the Library folder in your Home folder (aka, Library folder from user domain)
    </Library>, or the Library folder at the root level of your startup disk (aka, Library folder from local domain)
    </System/Library>, or the Library folder in the System folder (aka, Library folder from system domain)
    And under no circumstances should you even dream of deleting any one of them.
    Should this dream ever occur, you need to get cured by reading a basic book about Macs, eg, David Pogue's "Missing Manual…".

  • Choppy airport connection after OS X reinstall

    I recently put a new hard drive in my 12" 1.33 GHZ iBook G4, which of course required reinstallation of everything. After I got everything back up and running, I've found that my airport connection, while showing full signal strength, gets little to no connectivity(pages take minutes to load, if not failing first). I'm using an 802.11b linksys router. The internet works fine when I plug an ethernet cable in to my iBook. Furthermore, a windows laptop right next to my computer works just fine with the wireless signal. Are there any setting that I might have forgot to change back after reinstalling OS X, or any updates/programs that may cause this kind of thing? Thanks alot in advance.
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Tried it. No luck again. I reformatted the drive and did a new installation of the OS. I was welcomed to Tiger and asked if I wanted to transfer info from another Mac. I said no, and I was then able to enter my basic info (name, address, etc.) myself. But halfway through the setup of the OS (right when I selected my wireless network) the computer screen went blue and that was it. No further activity for the next hour or so until I shut it off and gave up.
    I am wondering if the problem might have something to do with a faulty Airport card or something. The computer goes to access the wireless and hangs.
    Maybe.

  • Lose airport connection after using boot camp and windows XP

    After using windows XP on boot camp and shutting down windows and booting to Mac OS 10.5.7 I lose the airport connection and have to restart or reset my airport extreme base station. My imac 2.8 is connected to airport via ethernet. Air port is operating on 5.7 version. This is a recent development and suspect it is related to updates in windows. I do not know where to start but need to solve this problem as it interrupts the other computers on wireless. Thanks Carl

    I have solved problem. It was in the windows settings using airport rather than ethernet connection. Carl

  • Airport after 10.4.2 Will Not Connect after Sleep

    After my iBook G4 goes to sleep it will not reconnect to the internet.
    It shows connection.
    It shows me the IP.
    It will not allow me to do anything online.
    I have to quit all internet prorams mail, safari, firefox etc...
    Then I have to reset the location over and over and try until it works. Sometimes right off the bat sometimes it takes 10 minutes. This is completely frustrating since even the network diagnostic is showing internet, ISP, etc.
    I've rebuilt my keychain.
    I've rebuilt the WEP password
    I've changed my computer name to be one word no spaces.
    I need help! My wife cannot use this computer if it won't connect without interaction. I never had this issue before 10.4.2 was installed.

    Henry,
    Thank your for the helpful link.
    I created a new location based on the info in the link you provided.
    It worked.
    Now, the iMac G5 rejoins the network automatically after sleep or restart.
    I don't know if level 4's need point, you and Frank C. (author of the info at http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx/.68ae4ead) just got some more from me.
