Why does connection not reconnect automatically after reboot?

When I had the security set to WPA, the Mac would reconnect automatically when booting. But when using WEP, which I have to with my son's Nintendo DS, I have to go to the Airport menu to choose the network after I boot. In the Network System Preferences, I tried choosing 'Automatic' or 'Preferred networks' but no difference. Any other settings I should check?

M177fw: when turn again, why does it not reconnect automatically to the WiFi?

Have connected the printer to my WiFi with passphrase and all, no problem. But when I switch off the printer, and later turn it on again, all WiFi settings seem lost. I need to re-select my WiFi network and re-enter the Passphrase. Where is the setting where the printer reconnects automatically?

Well I for one leave things on as electronic devices are like light bulbs. The blow out when you power them on and off all the time. Never had a light bulb go out when left powered on. The energy savings are insignificant, but you can try this. Reset the printer back to Factory Defaults and configure it gain and now power off and try. If no joy, set your router to a fixed wireless channel like 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto and try again.

Listener service not start automatically after reboot in Win2K server Clust

Hi all,
I set up a two node Server Cluster with Microsoft Windows 2000 server cluster service. Hardware are two HP DL380 servers and HP MSA500 (the shared storage). The cluster's IP address is 10.1.241.65. When I shut down both servers and restart the primary server, the listener server service will not start automatically. The listener log is:
Started with pid=1108
Error listening on: (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=10.1.241.65)(PORT=1521)))
TNS-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
TNS-00515: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
32-bit Windows Error: 49: Unknown error
The service is set up automatically start. I suspect the cluster virtual IP is not available immediately after reboot. So I tried setting the Recovery after first failure and second failure to 3 minitues each, and setting up Dependencies of the listener on the cluster service in the Win2K Service panel. Neither worked.
The service can be manually start.
Any suggestion?
Frank.

The command to start automatically the listener is :
lsnrctl start
check the parameters in : <ORACLE_HOME>/network/admin/listener.ora
check the IP address or host name

SSRS 2008 R2 Services not restarting automatically after reboot

SSRS 2008 R2 Reporting instance not restarting automatically after patches install. Is there a way to resolve the issue
Windows 2008 R2 Server

Hi,
Follow this article to resolve the issue:
Reporting Services service doesn't start after the installation of MS12-070 security patch
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mariae/archive/2012/11/12/reporting-services-service-doesn-t-start-after-the-installation-of-ms12-070-security-patch.aspx
Workaround 1:
Modify the registry to increase the default time-out value for the service control manager. To increase this value to 60 seconds, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit,and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control.
3. In the right pane, locate the ServicesPipeTimeout entry.
Note If the ServicesPipeTimeout entry does not exist, you must créate it. To do this, follow these steps:
a.On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
b.Type ServicesPipeTimeout, and then press ENTER.
c.Right-click ServicesPipeTimeout, and then click Modify.
d.Click Decimal, type 60000, and then click OK.
This value represents the time in milliseconds before
Restart the computer for the changes to take effect. Check that SSRS services can be started now.
You cannot start SQL Server Reporting Services after you apply the update that is discussed in KB 2677070

Oracle does not start automaticly after reboot

I've installed O 9i on win2ksrv after installing DB2.
Then I create a database and this db starts successfully.
After reboot the database is shutdown and can only starts manually by sysdba.

Hi,
Have you checked the space of ORAARCH or SAPARCH folder/directory ? The problem may be "Archive destination full". If its full then try to move some old Offline redo log file to other safe location as a backup and then try to restart the Oracle Instance again.

Is there a Re-Map option on MAC? (Reconnect automatically after reboot).

Ok...have a NAS storage box that I can map to from the MAC via IP address...works fine...
But if I reboot the MAC I loose this mapping. (And have to remap it each time). In Windows there is a Reconnect at Login.
Is there anything like this on the MAC? So I don't have to Remap or ReMount this device?

There are several ways of doing this, depending on quite how you want it to work.
Do you want it to mount when the machine boots, or when you log in?
There's a difference. If you mount it at boot time, it'll be available to all users. If you mount it when you log in, it won't mount until you log in.
The latter is easiest to implement - Just drag the icon of the shared volume to the Login Items panel of the Accounts preferences (System Preferences -> Accounts -> (your account) -> Login Items).
Anything here will be opened when you log in. In the case of a shared volume that will initiate a remount of the server.

Why does Firefox not update automatically nor allow me to manually update?

I'm running version 3.0.5, but didn't notice it wasn't updating until websites started complaining recently. When I try to upload manually from the website, the program downloads but will not copy into my applications folder. It says there is already an existing file, but when I click "Replace", it says I "do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
I've looked in to ways that Firefox should automatically update. Mine does not offer to update from the "About Firefox" screen. When I go to Preferences -> Advanced -> Update, under "Automatically check for updates to:" everything is checked, but the box for Firefox is grayed out so I can't touch it.
I don't want to uninstall and reinstall because I'm afraid to lose all my saved passwords and bookmarks.

Check and tell if its working.

When I insert a screen shot or image into the body of an email (not an attachment), why does it not show up after being sent? It works fine in other browsers.

The image will show up in the message when I am preparing it to send, but after being sent either it doesn't show at all or it comes through as a mess of characters.

try reinstalling iTunes.

MSExchangeSA and IS is not starting automatic at reboot after upgrading the server from SP1 to SP2

I am running a 2 node DAG with separate Hub & CAS servers
I have already upgraded the Hub CAS server and they are fine
Exchange running on Windows 2008 R2 SP1
All are in VM-Ware ESXi 5.0
After I upgrade the mailbox server to SP2 the SA and IS service not starting automatic after reboot
If I run "net time /set" command and then restart ADtopology server, the IS and SA starts fine
But again after reboot they do not start
Also I get the below event in the app log when the IS & SA fails to start
Log Name: Application
Source: MSExchangeIS
Date: 05/22/2012 5:15:03 AM
Event ID: 5003
Task Category: General
Level: Error
Keywords: Classic
User: N/A
Computer: server.domain.com
Description:
Unable to initialize the Information Store service because the clocks on the client and server are skewed. This may be caused by a time change either on the client or on the server, and may require a restart of that computer. Verify that your domain is correctly
configured and is currently online.
If I check the Registry for time resource it is taking from the DC
I manually compared the time between DC and Exchange and it is fine
Since the Exchange mailbox is virtual, I checked the time sync on VM-Ware tools and it is "unchecked"
Checked for group policy and do not find any specific to time sync.
Confirmed that Windows Time service is running
Suspecting a Operating system issue, tried to upgrade the other DAG
Even that node is displaying the same symptom and Issues
Tried to install RU1 on both nodes and that too did not fix the issue.
Checked with VM-Ware engineer and he said that every thing from VM-Ware end is fine
Is Anyone have come across the issue before ?

Notice there is no mention of WiMax.
It doesn't really matter anyway as Sprint is rolling their WiMax network down for use by MVNOs. Actual Sprint customers will not have access to WiMax at all. It was a failed experiment.

Bluetooth mouse does not reconnect automatically

Here's the problem I have: I pair a Logitech bluetooth mouse to my MacBook Air (original version). It works fine. If I turn off the mouse and turn it back on, it reconnects fine. If I sleep the MacBook Air and wake it up, it reconnects file. Everything is fine, that is, until I reboot the MacBook Air.
After a reboot, now the mouse will not reconnect automatically. In order to get it to connect, I have to go to the bluetooth assistant and choose the mouse and tell it to reconnect (or sometimes I have to repair it again if that doesn't work.) And this behavior will repeat - every time the mouse is turned off or the MacBook Air sleeps and wakes up, I have to go through this manual reconnection to get the mouse to work again - it is a major pain, especially since the mouse will go into sleep mode on its own to conserve battery power if it sits ilde for a while, and once that happens, then I have to go an reconnect manually again.
The only way to get it working again is to delete all bluetooth preferences, reboot, and then add the mouse back and pair it again. Everything will once again work properly until the next reboot, when it will be messed up again.
I have three different bluetooth mice - two Logitech (they sent me a replacement, thinking the mouse was defective because of this problem) and one Targus - I've tried using each one (separately), and they all exhibit this problem, so it's not the mouse.
I'm running 10.5.5 and do have the bluetooth firmware update installed for the MacBook Air.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Is there a way to fix it permanently that lasts across reboots? Is it a hardware issue with the MacBook Air?
Thanks,
-Mike

Hi Gang, I am having a similar issue.
I only have one Apple Bluetooth mouse paired with my MacBook. On the other 4 iMac machines in the office, we don't seem to have this pairing problem.
However, when I leave the office, close up my laptop and return the following day, I have to go into Sys. Prefs. to "refind" my bluetooth mouse. Humbug. Why doesn't the OS recognize this mouse automatically? Can anyone from Apple kindly assist? Support Board Guru?
Thanks,

Mac OS 8.6 Auto network connect to a server after reboot is not working

We have multiple old blue and white systems on a network. All but one will automatically connect to the network when rebooted. I have gone into Chooser, Appletalk, put in the server IP address, put in the server password, checked the boxes that say remember Server name and password for next startup. I can connect at that time with no problem. When I reboot, the server does not automatically hook up. I have to go back into Chooser, etc. I created an alias on the desktop, but it still prompts me for a password to connect. I have performed a clean install of the Mac OS 8.6. It still does not connect to the server after reboot (after configuring all the settings again after the clean install). Please help..

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Can you please create the database manually with below command and verify.

OSX 10.9.1 macbook pro 13 retina - wifi does not reconnect automatically when waking up from sleep mode since I have a Bluetooth apple magicmouse

Hello,
My config is OSX 10.9.1 new macbook pro 13 retina (2014).
The wifi does not reconnect automatically when waking up from sleep mode since I have a Bluetooth apple magicmouse.
It was not the case before I bought the BT mouse.
Is this problem between Wifi and bluetooth coming from the OS?
Is there a fix already available or scheduled?
Thanks

Hello alexandrefromfrance
Check the Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly section for steps on what to do when your MacBook Pro does not connect after waking from sleep. I have also quoted the section on troubleshooting the issue as well.
Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628
Symptom: After restarting or waking from sleep, my computer might not connect to the Internet
After waking from sleep or starting up, your computer may not show that it is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
After start or wake, your computer may indicate that it is connected to a network, but does not connect to the Internet.
Solution
Use these steps if your computer does not automatically connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Check your TCP/IP settings in the Network pane of the System Preferences. Click the "Renew DHCP lease" button
Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
Choose Network from the View menu.
Select Wi-Fi, then click the Advanced button in the lower-left hand corner of the screen.
Click the TCP/IP tab from the top of the screen.
Click the "Renew DHCP lease" button.
Select the Wi-Fi tab and view your Preferred Networks list.
Select each network and click the minus sign to remove those networks from your Preferred Networks list.
Click OK and close the Network preferences.
Remove your stored network passwords using the Keychain Access Utility.
Open Keychain Access from /Applications/Utilities. Your window will look like this:
Remove your AirPort network passwords from the login keychain: Select the "login" keychain from the Keychain sidebar. Click the "Kind" column to order the list of keychain items by their type. Remove all entries of the kind: "AirPort network password".
Remove your AirPort network passwords from the System keychain: Select the "System" keychain from the Keychain sidebar. Click the "Kind" column to order the list of keychain items by their type. Remove all entries of the kind: "AirPort network password".  Note: The above steps will remove your Wi-Fi network passwords. If you do not know them, or if your network does not use passwords to restrict access, you should contact your network administrator.
Restart your computer.
Join your Wi-Fi network. You will need to enter your password for your network again if it requires one.
