Why does my wireless connection keep failing?

Each time I boot up my MBP, the wireless connection does not work. I have to go through the self diagnostics after bootup and then it works fine. Anyone know why this is happening?

figured it out...no issue after all

  • Why does my wireless keyboard keep shutting off?

    Why does my wireless keyboard keep shutting off?
    It is not the batteries.

    More experience leads me to believe the problem is with the new iMac.  If I get the network going by turning AirPort Extreme power off, then on, I see a good signal at my iMac. Experience shows the network drops off after several hours. But yesterday I turned the iMac off, and the network remainded up (I could see it on my iPhone and iPad) throughout the night.  That's the first time that has happened since I got the new iMac.  Never had this issue with the old machine. I transferred all file to the new machine from a Time Machine backup that was up-to-date.  Am working with Apple support. They had me do a re-boot of the AirPort and will call back tomorrow AM to learn it did not solve the problem, but turning off the iMac does.  Darn.

  • My wireless connection keeps failing.

    My wireless connection keeps failing.  I turn off the wireless and it resets and works however it is temporary.  Any suggestions.  I bought my Airport Extreme 11/2012

    Hey there Chrismcknz,
    It sounds like your Wi-Fi connection from your Airport is dropping and when power cycled works for a very short period of time before stopping again. I would next try a hard reset, and test the issue. Then if needed reset it to factory default and test again. The following article explains what the resets do, and how to do them:
    Resetting an AirPort base station FAQ
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3728
    Hard reset: Resets the base station back to an unconfigured state, but retains the last saved configuration and any profiles so you can restore your base station from previous settings.
    Factory default reset: The same as a hard reset but also removes any saved configurations or profiles.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Hp office jet 6700 (Mac)-wireless connection keeps failing...

    Hi-I am hoping that someone has a solution for this. We have an HP Officejet 6700 that has worked flawlessly till last week. The wireless signal keeps dropping. I think that is the issue because if I go into Setup on the printer itself and go to Network and start all over with finding my router, it works fine. For one print job. Then if I have something something else to print I have to go through that whole setup routine again. 
    If I just go to Print it says locating printer and then it says that the printer is not connected. What is going on?? Very frustrated. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver (I downloaded the driver from the HP website). That didn't fix it. I saw that there was a firmware update but couldn't install it even though I plugged my laptop into the printer with a USB cord. 
    Something is going on that I don't have a clue in how to fix it. I really appreciate any help. Thank you, Judy

  • Why does my wifi connection keep dropping every few seconds

    my new mac air is only a week old - it was working perfectly til yesterday now it won't hold a wireless connection.  won't even hold with an ethernet connection to mobile phone.

        I regret to learn of the issues, funeralguy77! Lets figure it out together. Can you try to connect another device to the same WiFi connection. Does it connect? Have you tried to delete/forget the connection and trying again?
    Please share additional details so that we can help!

  • Why does virgin IMAP email keep failing

    My wife and I both have iPhone 4’s and iPad 2’s, and all are set up to access our Virgin email accounts via IMAP using the imap.virginmedia.com server.  For some reason my wife’s iPhone keeps having an issue every few days or so where emails cannot be downloaded and she gets a message saying ‘The mail server “imap.virginmedia.com” is not responding.  Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings’.
    In the past when this came up I used to close down the mail application and it would then work again, however since iOS 6 this does not fix the issue, and the only way I can get her email to work again is to delete the email account and rebuild it once more.
    I am puzzled not only as to what is happening, but also why this only affects the mail on her iPhone and not iPad, and why it never affects me?  I would normally think it is an issue with the virgin mail servers but as this only affects her iPhone (and not her iPad with the same settings) I am not so sure and so think it is an Apple issue.  Can anyone help or have any suggestions?
    Just to be clear, all IMAP accounts on the 4 devices are set up the same, and her email does work with the settings used for a time.  It just keeps encountering this error on the iPhone (more frequently over the past few weeks).

    I love the way threads just die in these support forums. I have the same problem so went into Apple Store in London and asked someone, when I said I was on Virgin they rolled theirs eyes and said 'IMAP and Virgin emails on iPhone are not good' I asked if it had anything to do with the fact that Virgin.net use Gmail to provide their email but he wasn't aware if that was the issue.
    Sorry no solution but safe to say you are not alone, it's doing my head in and to complicate things for me if I have wifi enabled, and connected at home, POP emails won't send via cellular connection but second I disable wifi they fly. Sorry I digress.

  • Why does my wifi connection keep dropping in and out?

    I have Samsung Galaxy Note 2. The wifi is connected to the wireless router and is the only pc of equipment that is. Full bars. Yet the note keeps dropping the wifi saying it has authenticity errors? My previous cell had absolutely no issues. And its a new router.

        I regret to learn of the issues, funeralguy77! Lets figure it out together. Can you try to connect another device to the same WiFi connection. Does it connect? Have you tried to delete/forget the connection and trying again?

  • Why does my wireless keyboard keeps disconnecting?

    I have a wireless track pad and keyboard (no number pad) that I use at school. I have to use a usb bluetooth adapter because the Mac Pro the school has does not have native bluetooth. My trackpad works flawlessly but my keyboard has problems. Most of the time it can not connect at all and the few times that it has connected it disconnects very soon, even while i am in the middle of typing something. This is very annoying. I have changed the batteries with a fresh pair and still the problem persists. Please help me, this is very aggrivating.

    HellO:
    My normal suggestion would be to make the KB a favorite, but I am not sure that would work at your school.

    im trying to install logic studio and it keeps failing

    The reason I asked is because I don't understand how you managed to install 9.1.1 on your iMac... 
    So... out of curiosity, as you didn't actually answer the question... how did you install 9.1.1 on your Mac given the DVD version is 9.0.0?
    As to your questions...
    You may install Logic Pro 9 from the Logic Studio package legally on one desktop and one laptop you own... as per the Logic Studio license terms and conditions..
    However, had you purchased Logic Pro 9 via the App store, rather than via the boxed edition of Logic Studio 2.0..   that licence, is different and allows you to install LP9 on any number of computers you own for your own private use.. using your Apple ID and the purchased tab of the Mac App Store application.
    If you feel Apple should have done a better job in notifying you about the requirements of Logic Pro 9  in reference to the 9.1.6 update being needed under Mountain Lion, why don't you contact them and tell them... via the feedback form, 
    https://www.apple.com/feedback/logic-pro.html
    because Apple isn't here in any real sense..... and therefore won't read your comments or respond

  • Why does the wireless connection on my desktop disconnect when I plug in my Ipod Touch?

    Basically I just recently had my uncle build me a desktop computer and so far everything has been great but I noticed that everytime I plug in my iPod touch into it to charge it switches off my wirless adapter somehow making it impossible for my ipod to update or for me to use the internet. Then when I disconnect the iPod I can't firgue out how to switch the wireless adapter back one. Most of the time I have to use the windows troubleshoot to fix it. And sometimes it says that the wireless adapter had been reset or something?

    I have the same issue.  I believe this is an issue that has only developed since the last ITunes update since I have had no problem prior to this.  I have isolated the problem to be a conflict between ITunes and the AE1000 driver.  I have found no solution yet.  If you do find a solution please notify me.  Thanks. See my related post.  https://discussions.apple.com/message/20650864#20650864

  • Why does my mavericks download keep failing?

    Recently my  2011 macbook pro 13'' computer stopped booting up. It would turn on and give the progress bar and the apple logo but the bar wouldn't fill and instead it would shut off by itself. So, I started it holding command r and went to see what was wrong. My drive was damaged and it was telling me to back up and erase the disk. Thing is every time I tried to back up the disk it kept giving me an error saying it couldn't because of the input or output, but it was wrong since i used the same memory on my other computer and it was working. So i just gave up and deleted everything. The i went back into disk utility verified and repaired my two disk like crazy and now i'm stuck trying to redownload mavericks.
    It'll start the download but an hour in or sometimes 20 minutes before it's done it'll give me the messAge "installation failed redownload at the store" and i'll do it again and again and again. Could it be that my hard drive is damaged? Is it time to go to the store?

    I'd get the drive checked before wasting any more time with this. If you go to an Apple store, they can re-install the OS for you.
