You don't have to post the same question at one minute intervals. Somebody will answer it, but perhaps not in 60 seconds.

Wifi disconnects after sleep and takes long time to reconnect with Mavericks
Has anyone/ Apple come up with a solution? A workaround OTHER THAN disabling then reenabling the wifi adapter? This is certainly frustrating
Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved. Make sure the box marked
Remember networks this computer has joined
is checked.
2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading
Symptom: After restarting or waking from sleep, my computer might not connect to the Internet
3. Reset the PRAM.
4. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
5. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
6. 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.
7. Repair permissions on the startup volume.
8. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
9. Reset the System Management Controller.
10. This step shouldn't be necessary, but has been advised by Apple Support in some cases, apparently as a workaround for a bug. Open the Energy Saver pane in System Preferences. If applicable, click the padlock icon in the lower left corner to unlock the settings. Enter your administrator login password when prompted.
Select the Power Adapter tab and uncheck the boxes marked
Wake for Wi-Fi network access
and
Enable Power Nap...
if present. Then, if the computer is a MacBook, select the Battery tab and uncheck
Enable Power Nap...
11. Reinstall OS X. -
Why does my iMac WIFI disconnect after 3-4 Hours?
I have an iMac 3.06 Intel Core 2 and my wifi disconnects after 3-4 hours of use. I can't reconnect to the network until I turn-off the wifi and turn it back on. It appears the ip lease time is up and must be established manually by turning off the wifi and turning it back on (just a guess). Is it possible the firewall or another piece of software is blocking the process? I have an iPhone, MacBook and iPad in addition to the iMac and they all connect properly and stay connected. Does anyone have any ideas what I should verify to get the process working? During the period of time when the iMac is connected all is well. The iMac is running 10.7.2 op system. Thanks for your help.
I'm havingn the same problem

Did anyone buy a MacBook Pro Retina 13" from Best Buy this Black Friday?
I'm having an issue where the WiFi disconnects after the MacBook wakes from sleep but only after a couple of minutes.
Once the WiFi disconnects, I can't reconnect to the same network and sometimes it won't find nearby networks.
I have to turn off the WiFi and wait for at least 5 seconds before turning it back on for it to auto-reconnect to my home network.
If I wait less than 5 seconds, it will continue to attempt connection to the home network but won't connect.
I've tried reformatting and deleting my network configurations as well as resetting my modem, power cycling it, etc.
I am using 2Wire Gateway modem/router from AT&T on b/g network.
I've tried connecting to a friend's network under Time Warner Cable and the same issue occurs.
I exchanged the MacBook at a Best Buy for a brand unopened one (I hope) and the same exact thing happens with this new one.
Really, I can't be the only one with this issue. Unless in a 0.00001% chance I received two defective units in a row?
Please.. does anyone have a clue why this is happening?You're definitely not the only one. I have the same issue. I spent 6 hours over multiple days on the phone with Apple support trying a variety of things (some of which are mentioned above), and none of them worked. They finally sent me a replacement laptop. I made sure to try it periodicaly as I was moving files and installing applications to see if I ran into it again and things seemed okay at first but now I am running into the same issue and it is terribly annoying. I've got 5 other devices that connect to the same router and I've never had this issue with any of them.
My router is a Linksys E2000. I haven't tried changing the router channel but I have tried to cnnecting to other networks in the building I live in and I have run into the same issue there. -
Blank login screen on the iPad keeps popping up and wifi disconnecting after 20 seconds
hi, we have an ipad running IOS 5 that keeps having a blank login screen on the iPad keeps popping up and wifi disconnecting after 20 seconds.
I am yet to find out why this is, any clues? (note that both apple.com and facebook are blocked at the router, but nothing else)...actually we cannot due to policy reasons... it appears through testing that the iPad is phoning home and sending private data to Apple regardless, it is also odd they placed these PRIVACY settings in About hidden away so that no-one knows they are there.
From the iPad homescreen, tap on Settings > General > About
Tap on "Diagnostics & Usage" > select "Don't Send"
So... anyone else know why if we block Apple, the iPad disconnects from the internet via Wifi? -
OS X - Fix for wifi disconnect after suspend/resume
OS X - Fix for wifi disconnect after suspend/resume
I've purchased a Mac recently and since upgrading to Maverick have been having some problem with wifi after suspend/resume. Looking into the issue, I've found this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5495375 and some people have reported that turning off bluetooth did fix the issue.
For my case, this was not possible, so I've tried to make a little fix, that disable bluetooth on suspend and enable it on wake, but with a 10 seconds delay, in order to let the wifi connect successfully.
Here is my github repo for anyone to look at the code: https://github.com/Setsuna666/osx-wifibtfix
Here is the latest version of the fix, which include an uninstall script: https://github.com/Setsuna666/osx-wifibtfix/archive/v1.0.2.zip
If you have any questions or issues, please post it here so it can be easier for me to keep track of.Installed properly this time:
It appears to work, when I resume from sleep the Bluetooth icon is off (gray) and wifi connects, after 10s Bluetooth icon comes on again.
Here is the correct output:
Antzcrashing-MacBook-Air:osx-wifibtfix-1.0.3 Antzcrashing$ sudo bash install.sh

hi after updating to Mountain Lion, it becomes difficult to quit Mail, always have to Force Quit. And while Mail is on standby, the fan keeps on running full power, the laptop is hot. Why is this happening?
If your computer was hot it wasn't asleep - it either didn't go to sleep or it work up after you put it to sleep. I've seen both things happen. First, read this article and follow the instructions.
1) For the next few days/weeks pay attention to the blinking light on the front of your computer when you close the lid. Don't put the computer into your backpack/case until it begins to blink. Wait a minute or so after it starts to blink to make sure it doesn't stop blinking - the signal it woke back up.
2) having followed the above instructions, if you take the computer out and it is hot again or if you take it out and discover it has powered down (you'll know this because when it starts up the battery will be drained and you'll see a progress bar over a ghostly display that will eventually become normal) immediately start the Console program and perform a search on 'sleep' and then 'wake'. This should bring up all the recent log files about sleep state changes (going to sleep and waking up). You should see one for when you put the computer to sleep and put it away and the next one should be just after you got it out. You'll find at least one though that shouldn't be there. That will tell you when the computer work up (when it shouldn't have) and might give a clue as to why.
One of the whys could be a magnet that is making the computer think the lid has been opened. -
I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!
The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works. Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up. Try them again.
Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp. Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp. Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.

I've downloaded iTunes 12.0.1.26 3 times after the update and it still doesn't work! Every time i start it up it comes up not responding, why is this happening? how can it be fixed? I currently cannot use iTunes!!!!!!
Hey High Socks,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, iTunes isn't working when you try to launch it. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
