Why does my 4s with ios7 wifi keep disconnecting/reconnecting?

why does my 4s with ios7 wifi keep disconnecting/reconnecting?

Same problem here. It just keeps connecting/disconnecting indefinitely. This does not started immediately after IO7 upgrade and it does not happen all the time. Sometimes it does it, sometimes not. Very frustrating. So far no solution found.

My Time Capsule does not work with existing WiFi

Following a question solved on March 24 by LaPastenague, but gone bad again.
Apple AirPort Time Capsule
I felt the need for a physical backup of my data, as I would not completely trust the different clouds. I use, and have used Dropbox for 4-5 years and are very satisfied with that, but I am still not sure if or when a political lunatic will shut off the internet.
I purchased the Apple AP Time Capsule 2T, because all my other stuff are Apple, and that it's wireless. My old backup is Maxtor 300 GB.
Since we stay 2-3 weeks on two locations, one in Norway and one in Sweden (two different countries) we must use Mobile Broadband 4G, cables or fibre connections are useless for us, and we don't have it up to the houses. I have one mini router for each country, we bring with us iPhones, iPads, iMac, Apple TV, APExpress. When we pass the boarder I change the mini router, and the system continues working perfect on the WiFi, except the APExpress that needs to be reconfigured, but then it works.
The APTC was difficult to make working as it would not accept to be in an existing network, but with good help from the Apple Community, LaPastenague, with forcing the TC connect to the APE with Ethernet cable in bridge mode, ref "My Time Capsule does not work with existing WiFi" from March 24, the problem was solved and all gadgets worked together in a perfect harmony, until we changed location.
Now, as I have my second WiFi network, and the APExspress is reconfigured, it's like the TC thinks, I am the base boss here, I am not taking orders from APE one more time, and it simply does not work, not only that, it fluctuates all the time.
I have a slight feeling that the two WiFi bands are making the trouble as during the configuration of the TC sometime the last figure 6 and 7 pops up, and that has something two do with the two different 2,4 and 5 GHZ bands
So, I am curious if you have any idea ?
I am thinking of returning the TC if I don't make it work now, but how do I delete all the data that's on it?

I can deal with the last question first and easily.
I am thinking of returning the TC if I don't make it work now, but how do I delete all the data that's on it?
Open the airport utility .. go to the disk tab and select erase.
When you select erase you will get mulitiple options.
Quick removes the file table but does not delete the files,, it takes 2min or less.
A Zero out data is the secure way,, by writing 0 ie low level drive format.
It can take several hours..
7 pass will take a week.. not recommended..
35 pass erase is ridiculous.. it would take a month.. put an ax through the TC. It is quick and better.
Now, as I have my second WiFi network, and the APExspress is reconfigured, it's like the TC thinks, I am the base boss here, I am not taking orders from APE one more time, and it simply does not work, not only that, it fluctuates all the time.
The fact that it did work and has now failed might point to faulty unit.
The only way to tell is reset it properly to factory and start over.
Universal Factory Reset.. any model TC or AE.
Unplug your TC/AE from power or turn off at the power point.
Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. (this is often difficult without a 2nd person or a 3rd arm).
Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
Note..
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations of the router.
No files are deleted on the hard disk in a TC.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Generally having multiple wireless AP should not cause problems.. but it is better to set channels manually.. so it doesn't go beserk rotating channels.
Remember to keep all names short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Sadly though the Apple routers have no logging now and no SNMP and almost nothing to help diagnose a problem, so if it continues .. take it back to apple.. they have given you no other method of fixing it.

Why does Mac OX 10.6.8 keep making copies of a file anytime I download, copy, or move a file?

Why does Mac OX 10.6.8 keep making copies of a file anytime I download, copy, or move a file? It will copy, dowload or move the file, then begin making copies until I reboot. This makes it impossible to deal wit hfiles unless I want to spend a lot of time rebooting after every time, then deleting all the redundant copies.

If I understand what you are saying this is very strange. Sure you tried Reparing Permissions and all that. Also sure you're aware that when moving a file from the hard disk to an external - the default is to make a copy rather than a move. If the movement is with the same disk (e.g. hard disk - hard disk) the Default is a Move rather than Copy.
Anyway try this: Move a file between location where you would normally have this problem while holding the Command Key (which triggers a Move rather than a Copy). I would also try quickly setting up a New User Account and see if the problem is present within this New Account. This may provide a clue as to what is happening.
Also, what browser are you using when the download problem happens?

Why does my iBookPro drop its WiFi connection so often?

My question: why does my iBookPro drop it WiFi connection so often, and what can I do to prevent it (or at least extend the duration of active connection)?
I have an iBookPro running OSX 10.9.5, with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 processor and 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM. I think my iBookPro is about 3 or 4 years old.
What seems to happen is that I will use my iBookPro accessing mail & websites for a few minutes, and then when I try to send an e-mail, mail puts up a message that it cannot send mail with the selected server, so I need to either try a different server or try later. Meanwhile I notice that the WiFi signal indicator shows full service, but when I run diagnostics it shows that the internet is not connected. Opening the WiFi icon in the top menu bar shows that it is looking for Networks. After an indeterminate time it finds the network I have had highlighted and logged into (my WiFi -5G router) since I opened my iBook when I arrived at my office.
I often find I have to turn WiFi off, then back on, to get connection with the internet.
What's going on, and what am I missing?

Hello jBookProAm,
If you are having issues with your MacBook Pro with maintaining a Wi-Fi connection, then take a look at the articles below to get it sorted out. The first article will talk about using Wireless Diagnostics, which you have already done, but also you look at the additional troubleshooting within the article for assistance. You may want to also create a new location as another troubleshooting option and those steps are in the second article.

Why does every 3 mths my ipod keeps on asking for a restore when i did nothing to it

why does every 3 mths my ipod keeps on asking for a restore when i did nothing to it?

Either a bad memory/storage location that manifests its infrequently or a intermittent hardware problem like a loose connection.

Why does my iBook connect to WiFi better than my much faster Macbook?

Why does my iBook connect to WiFi better than my much faster Macbook?

Because it has a RISC processor. Just brag about all the MHz or even GHz while you are waiting like other Intel users. Using my trusty G4 rather than MBP becase its simply faster.

Why Does AppleScript Fail With Google Earth?

This simple script:
     tell application "Google Earth"
            GetCurrentVersion
     end tell
fails with the following error:
     error "Google Earth got an error: Can’t continue GetCurrentVersion." number -1708
and with the following Console message:
     3/2/13 5:24:42.505 PM Google Earth[53575]: +[NSDictionary scriptingRecordWithDescriptor:]: unrecognized selector sent to class 0xacdb248c
Anyone know why?
The GE AppleScript dictionary has the following entry:
GetCurrentVersion v : Get the current version of the Google Earth client
      GetCurrentVersion record : record of major, minor and build numbers
→ list of integer : version fields
AppleScript and Google Earth work fine for other users on this machine. It only fails on my account.
I have tried deleting all vestiges of GE from the machine and reinstalling, but this hasn't worked.
Any other ideas?

tell application "System Events" to get has scripting terminology of application process "Google Earth"
Result=true
AFAIK, AS works with all other applications. It only fails with GE and only on my account.
softwater, I apologize if my original post was not specific enough.
I thought that the title "Why Does AppleScript Fail With Google Earth?" made it clear that the AS failure was with GE. I guess not.

Why does my iMac (with Mountain Lion) no longer recognize my external hard drive I have used as a back up via Time Machine after the hard drive was accidentally unplugged?

Why does my iMac (with Mountain Lion) no longer recognize my external hard drive I have used as a back up via Time Machine after the hard drive was accidentally unplugged?

Do you mean the external hard drive is not mounted on the iMac desktop?
Check if Disk Utility sees the drive. Applications / Utilities / Disk Utility. If the external shows up in the left column, select it and click on Mount.
If it does show up this way, I recommend using DU to Repair Disk.

WiFi keeps disconnecting in Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on Macbook Pro

I have an early i7 2011 Macbook Pro. Since upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 my WiFi keeps disconnecting. There isn't a certain time it disconnects - sometimes it works fine for a few hours, sometimes for just 10 minutes. When the connection is lost, it shows that its connected in the taskbar at the top, however when going into network preferences it shows the WiFi as turned off. In order to turn it back on I need to restart the Mac.
I have tried the following:
reset SMC
delete network preferences
create new network connection
add DNS servers
Add manual MTU
Require password to turn on/off WiFi / change network (still disconnects!)
Change order of preferred networks
I phoned Apple Care who told me to delete the network preferences, this worked for about 5 mins and then the problem returned!
I cannot change the router settings as I connect to my employers network. All other employees using Window machines are working fine and my iPhone connects perfectly fine also.
Somebody please help me! I feel my only option now would to do a clean install - not ideal! Apple, please HELP.
Merry Christmas everyone.

Hi - I have the same problem with my MacBook Pro mid 2010 which drops the wifi connection randomly (not necessarily when I move it or the lid - see other posts on this) and then often ends up freezing when I try to investigate.
I installed Mavericks to see if that would resolve the issue but it doesn't.
Somebody in one of these posts suggested it might be a faulty connection between airport card and mother board... which I suppose could be caused by a jolt to the machine (mine travels as hand luggage on planes every now and then).
I am running OS X 10.9 on a 13 inch Mid 2010 MBP with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 4 GB 1067MHz DDR3 memory.
If anyone comes up with an answer to this PLEASE post it here so that we can all resolve our wifi dropping/freezing issues!
Thanks

TS1398 Hi. My wifi keeps disconnecting. I kkep turning the wifi on and off in settings but will disconnect again after a minute or so. I use an ipad2 and my ios is updated. How to troubleshoot? - kay peralta

Hi. My wifi keeps disconnecting. I keep turning the wifi on and off in settings but will disconnect again after a minute or so. I use an ipad2 and my ios is updated. How to troubleshoot? - kay peralta

Is this happening with one particular network or with all? Make sure iOS is updated on the device.
Try this:
Reboot ipad by pressing and holding both the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go. Then try to connect to network.
Go to settings, Toggle airplane mode on/off. Make sure bluetooth is off. Turn on wif (airplane mode off). Try to connect.
Reset Network Settings
Go to settings/general/reset/reset network settings. Then try to connect to network.
If its your home router, then reboot router by unplugging for 5-10min. (do this while you're resetting network settings).
If problem persists, then check for firmware updates on your router.(you check router manufacturer support website for downloads and instructions).

Why does the wifi keep disconnecting on the Macbook Air (Bought September 2013) ?

Is this only my MacBook Air, or is it with everyones. The wifi keeps getting disconnected and i would have to switch off and then switch on the wifi in order to reconnect.

Hi Ettedos,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're seeing unexpected behavior on your MacBook Air.
I'd recommend starting with the Wireless Diagnostic built into Mavericks:
OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.4 or later
Use the Wireless Diagnostics application included with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.4 and later to identify and resolve Wi-Fi issues. For further information, please see About Wireless Diagnostics.

What to do if wifi keeps disconnecting and safari does not load?

My wifi on my Mac desktop keeps disconnecting. When the internet is connected, Safari often "cannot connect to server" or "safari cannot load page" or page "failed to load". The wifi works on my iPhone and iPad, so I'm not sure why it doesn't work on the desktop. Is there anything simple I can do to fix this? Thank you.

Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program 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.
Be sure to test on more than one Wi-Fi network, if at all possible. A desktop computer can be tested with a mobile hotspot, such as the hotspot created by a cell phone. If the problem only exists on one network, then the access point of that network should be the focus of your attention, not the computer.
Step 2
Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
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. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
Step 4
Open the Energy Saver pane in System Preferences and unlock the settings, if necessary. Select the Power Adapter tab, if there is one. Uncheck the box marked
Wake for Wi-Fi network access
if it's checked.
Step 5
Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
Step 6
In the Wi-Fi settings, select
Advanced... ▹ TCP/IP ▹ Configure IPv6: Link-local only
Click OK and then Apply.
Step 7
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 8
Reset the PRAM.
Step 9
Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. You'll be prompted for the password when you reconnect. Save it in the keychain.
Step 10
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
