Why does my internet connection continue to drop.
I go back to Safari to connect again and it takes several attempts before connecting.
The solution that works for me 95% of the time:
1) Shut down all programs trying to do network stuff (Adium, firefox, mail, et al).
2) turn off wireless.
3) open up network pref pane. go to Airport -> Advanced
4) Delete my home network. Hit Ok. Hit apply.
5) Re-add the exact same network, same WPA password, tell it to remember. Hit Ok. Hit apply.
6) Turn on wireless again.
And my network appears almost all of the time. About 5% of the time, it doesn't work.
Hope this helps folks limp along until Apple comes along with a fix.
Good luck!

TS1398 Why does the internet connection appear to be offline with stronger WiFi signal?
I purchased new iPAD 3 generations 32 GB last Monday so i did click iCloud on left side to open the page but it
indicated "Verification Failed - the internet connection appears to be offline" at home while WiFi icon shows stronger
but problem with the internet connection being offline at home
I have no problem with my home computer and wireless printer - both still working good but I don't understand what's problem
with my new iPAD after creating new iCloud account outside home such as McDonald or Starbuck - internet connection appears to be online
I have Verzion High Speed DSL and router DLink Model DES-1105.
Please advise.

IYou may think you are connected to the internet, but maybe not. Click on Safari and see if it connects.
Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) 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. 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.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

Why does an internet connection quit for no apparent reason?
For over a year I've had no problem staying connected to the internet using a
modem and cable (Shaw) but lately the connection has been stopping after a couple of minutes: pages won't fill and Safari enters the ice age!
I've tried repairing disk and permissions but no luck, can anyone suggest anything?
Thank you in advance,
FrancisTry this for starters...

Pay no attention to it's mention of WPA2, it's fixed the problem for a few other methods too. -

Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does?
Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does? I'll have to turn the wifi off and back on multiple times to get the internet to continue to work on my Macbook Pro (running mountain lion but did it on lion also) when it runs fine on my old white Macbook (running lion). Is there something I can do to fix it or do I just have to deal with it?
Here is your fix .. I have uploaded my properly calibrated profile get it here :
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YAJL6A9X
And it should go to your user folder/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
if you have one already you can rename either one ..
and then go to system preferences - displays - color to select the profile .
you will get rid of the blue tint while keeping correct color and gamma
This is for the newer 2010 MBP's altho if same display was used might also give good results in the previous models as well . . -

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 my camera connection kit not work with my ipad 1 after updating on ios 5?
Why does my camera connection kit not work with my ipad 1 after updating on ios 5? What can I do to make it work again?
It should. It will only respond if there's something on the card for it to respond to, so do you have pics on the card?
And if it's messing up; try giving the iPad a restart. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see hte red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again. That can clear up any glitches on the device itself. -

Why does my internet password show up when I reply to an email from my cell?
this question is extremely broad. can you describe what you mean? where does the password show up? in the signature line? as the subject? in the body? and what internet password? your home provider? your cell provider? what's the password for? your email account? or is your phone password protected? details.

Why does my network connection time out when downloading iphone 4 software update?
Why does my network connection time out when trying to download iphone4 software update?
I'm having the same problem too. I cannot sync or update over wireless or wired connections ever since I installed the most recent iTunes update. iTunes goes through the complete OS 5.0.1 download only to tell me the connection has timed out just when it seems ready to install. I've since reinstalled iTunes, I've ejected and done hard restarts on both my problem devices. I've disabled anti-virus, anti-malware, and firewall. No change in outcome except that, after doing all this, my final attempt to simply sync my 1st Gen iPad led to iTunes crashing and being automatically closed by windows just before finishing the final step. Is this a cruel joke, because I'm certain I can hear iTunes laughing at me for wasting so much time on this.
