Why is my mac discontecting from the wireless router

My wifi disconnects for no reason, seems to be connected one minute then it disconnects. The router is in the same room so the signal is strong and stable. Phones etc connected to the router do not have this issue.

I am having the same issue. I have a laptop that stays connected 100% of the time using the same wireless system. My iMac OS X (10.6.8) seems to disconnect about every 30 minutes.
By hovering over the airport icon and waiting for the "Looking for Networks" to find the list of networks, I then click on my internet (CenturyLink4905) it will restore internet connection within a few seconds. It's become brutally painful as I am am online college student and it drops my class and is a major hassle to log back in and start the class over.
Any ideas?

I bought a used Mac Book from the widow of a neighbor who had died. We don't know the password. How can we get in to set up wireless printing??

I bought a used Mac Book from the widow of a neighbor who had died. I am trying to set up wireless printing for a new HP printer and it asks for the Administrators password. Is there any way to break through this and create a new password?

Is the Macbook running? If yes, go to Apple Menu About This Mac to find out the version of Mac OS X you are running.
If the computer is not working, do you know the model, or the version of the operating system on the MB?
You can track down some information with the serial number. Here's how to find the serial number:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1366
With the serial number you can identify the model on this site:

When we know the model it will be much easier to answer your questions.

I have a 2009 Mac mini and the wireless card has never worked, would I be able to cover it with my three year extended warranty?

If you mean AppleCare, then I would believe the answer will be yes.
First make sure you have a full backup of everything on your Mac, then run, don't walk to your nearest Apple store.
Note: Due to your Mac now being in computer years, somewhat elderly, Apple may not have the require parts in stock. This will either mean you might have to leave it with them for a number of days, or maybe they will offer you a new Mac mini. While a new Mac mini (if offered) might be a welcome possibility be aware that the new Mac mini no longer has a CD/DVD drive and it comes with Mac OS X Lion and as a result might not run some of your old software.

How to Extend C: Drive On PC or/and use Mac drive from the PC

I Install Boot camp on Mac book pro
the Limit for Drive C: is only 32 GB,can i extend it ?
From the mac i can see and use the PC C: Drive but i cant See and use the Mac drive from the PC,
Do you know any way to see and use it ?
Thanks,
Yariv

You weren't limited to 32GB unless you chose to do so.
HFSExplorer can read HFS+
MacDrive7 can read and write
Personally would not use FAT and just stick with NTFS.
Paragon Software has 3 products. To write to NTFS from OS X. To resize partition. Backup software for Windows.

This past month I have been having problems connecting to my home wireless connection. Previously I had no problems whatsoever. I have tried unplugging the wireless router, turning off the wirless airport, deleting the network name from my list of server

This past month I have been having problems connecting to my home wireless connection. I have a MacBook Pro OSX Version 10.6.8. Previously I had no problems whatsoever. I have tried unplugging the wireless router, turning off the wirless airport, deleting the network name from my list of servers and trying to reconnect this way. These methods have worked temporarily, but the same problem keeps coming back. Most of the time my personal wireless connection does not even come up among the list of available networks. My fellow flatmates have PCs and both of them are able to connect to the network without problem.
The router is a d-link model DIR-615. I am not tech savy, so if any other information need to be provided in order to better understand my situation, please let me know.
Please help me!

If I open the list of networks in a window it says "connection timeout," but if I just select it from the drop down it tries for awhile and then stops with no prompt. When I try to run network diagnostics it says "sorry, we can't connect to the internet" (or some solution-free variation of that)

After waking from Sleep it won't recogize the wireless router

My mother has my old ibook G3 600 mhz late 2001 ibook, with the old airport card. It is over 5 years old. She just upgraded to 10.4.5 and now when she wakes it from sleep it will not recognize the wireless router. I know the router and the connection are fine because my other ibook picks it up fine.
Here the wierd thing - when I restart the ibook it recognizes the signal, connects , and works perfectly until it is put to sleep. As soon as it is woken up again, you can't even find the wireless router in the pull down menu. I don't think the airport card is bad because it works perfectly when first started.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi.
Welcome to Apple Discussions
So does your iBook still pick it up when she can't? Put all of yours to sleep and then see if they all pick the router up. What router do you have? You might want to post this in corresponding Airport Forum because a lot of more (specifically) wireless knowledgeable people "hang out" there. There also may be people with the same problem that can help you.

I bought battery charger for my mac book from the different store, and i want to verify that is genuine product or not?

i brought battery charger for my mac book from the deferent store, and before i plug it to my mac book i want to verify that is genuine product. how do i get to know that?

It should have an Apple part number at the bottom of the charger and an embossed Apple logo on the face of the adapter.
Anyone can stamp a logo on the side, of course, so I would take a good luck at the part number and do an Internet search for the part number, making sure that it's genuine Apple.
Good luck,
Clinton

Have iPad Air and Apple Wireless Keyboard. Can I access emoji from the wireless keyboard?

RE: iPad Air and Apple Wireless Keyboard
HI, I have an iPad Air paired with an Apple Wireless Keyboard. Can I access emoji from the wireless keyboard?
Thanks for any help on this subject!

Eureka! I kept searching and found the solution. So, if anyone wants to know here is the solution: press fn and the up arrow on F Keys (top) row (it's the one all way to the right. The iPad keyboard will then pop up on the iPad and from there you can access the emoji keyboard.

How to save SOME time machine Mac backups from the TM disk to other disk WITHOUT formatting the destination disk?

Hi,
How to save SOME time machine Mac backups from the TM disk to other disk WITHOUT formatting the destination disk?
I have a Time Machine disk (A) including the backups of several different Macs (B, C, D & E) generated with an old Mac OS X 10.5.8 (iMac PowerPC) over the years.
I have transferred the old Mac contents to a new Mac with OS X 10.8.3 using Migration Assitant. All OK.
Now, I want to erase such TM disk A to use if for other purposes, but first, I would like to RECOVER the backups of some Macs inside it (D and E). Is that possible WITHOUT formatting the destination disk and selecting only some Macs from the TM disk and not the fulll TM disk? How?
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I do not think that is messy, anway. I simply used the same external disk as Time Machine disk for different Macs. And that worked OK all the time for years.
The ExternalTimeMachineDisk contains the folder Backups.backupdb
which contains the following folders (each one corresponding to the Time Machine backup made from each Mac):
Mac1
Mac2
MacBook1
MacBook2
In relation to my message above, is it possible to select specific files, folders or full Mac backups from such Time Machine disk and save them to other disk? How?
Thanks.
