WiFi doesn't connect right away after recent update
So after the recent firmware update, I noticed that there is a delay before my internet starts to work in all my WiFi networks (school, home, friends home, work). For example, even though I just connected to the network and it has finished connecting, I cannot actually visit a page at all through a browser and I would have to wait until it just "starts working". It's really annoying, and I was wondering if anyone has the same problem or if anyone has found a fix.
My device it is not rooted. So these are the instructions.
Enable MTP
Connect the device to a computer using the supplied USB cable.
If necessary, select and hold the status bar (located at the top) then drag to the bottom.
Select Connected as a media device.
Select Media device (MTP).
Selected when a check mark is present.
Disable MTP
Ensure the device is disconnected from the computer or switch USB connection modes.
To switch modes, select and hold the status bar (located at the top) then drag to the bottom.
Select Connected as a media device.
Select Camera (PTP).
Selected when a check mark is present.
The problem is that the icon for connected as a media device does not show up. I did not have this issue before the over the air update from Verizon to 4.4.

Menubar "Time Connected" behavior changed after recent updates
Hi folks I have been using my AXBS (11n with USB) with an DSL connection.
You can choose to display the time connected from the drop-down list from the Airport icon on the Menu bar.
Before this upgrade (Utility 5.5.1 and firmware 7.5.2), the "time connected" shows the time of your current DSL connection, meaning i choose "Disconnect" from that Airport drop-down menu then the AXBS will terminate the current DSL connection and dial up a new connection -- and from this point, the "Time connected" count will be reset to zero. Therefore this is a time count for a single DSL connection duration. It has nothing to do with how long the router itself has been up and running.
But after the current upgrade (Utility 5.5.2 /w fw 7.5.2), drop the DSL connection and redial will not reset the "Time connected". But if you unplug the router's power and re-plug it, it will be reset. That means the "Time connected" is now counting the time the router has been on and running.
Since I have another Macbook pro in the same which is still running the old Airport Utility -- i did my experiment with the old Utility -- results are same with the new Utility. Then I suppose it is a firware thing.
Guys is there anyway to make the "Time connected" to work the way it used to - just showing the duration of one DSL connection. This is important to me. Because my connection speed drops after keeping a connection alive 2 - 3 days - i need to disconnect and re-connect to revive the internet connection. Thanks a lot.Dylan Neild wrote:
Seeing this as well.
"Time connected" used to show PPPoE session uptime. It now shows device uptime.
Definitely a bug. I filed a bug with the bug tracker so hopefully they fix it in the next release.
Yes I filed a bug too. But it seems Apple doesnt care much about their Airports and i guess it will be a good freaking wait until the next FW update. -

Installed around 8 important Windows 7 updates over the past 3 days (so, nothing I could uninstall as they're security updates mainly). Since then, Windows Live Mail doesn't respond in Firefox. Did 2 System Restores and downloaded Live Essentials again but nothing works.
Did you try to clear the cookies as well?

After recent update to OS on iMac, communication to airport is lost when computer goes to sleep. To reestablish connection, I need to turn wifi off then on.
same problem here.
i have a time capsule.
symptoms:
excessively searching for network
but more often than not, it cant find the correct netowrk that is correctly stored in keychain
if i try network assistant opened through safari not finding its page, then it can find the right network after i enter in the password again. it connects. but only for a few seconds then it loses the connection again.
the only fool proof workaround for me is:
1/ shut down time capsule. restart time capsule.
2/ restart mac with airport turned off.
3/ after restart manually select the network from the wireless icon in the menu bar
airport utility is a complete waste of time
old airport utility is still better. -
This is a new occurence and is not tied to the Maverick update.
When I close the top of my laptop and reopen it (whether 10 minutes or overnight) and click on the Safari icon - I get my Safari opening screen - but each tab says (Fails to connect). No problem if I shut the machine off and then restart it. Connects right away.
As this is not tied to any upgrade or addition of any software or change in the router - I suspect I may have inadvertently changed something and I'm at a loss. Has anyone seen this and figured out what stupid thing I may have done? I never go into registries or anything like that and I would be uncomfortable doing that - particulary because I have a fix - just shut down the computer completely after each use.
Thank you in advance....If it's a network that requires a password, just a hunch, but I'd try this even though it says WPA2 and different symptoms & HW, wish Apple would update that doc, as many other reconnect problems get fixed by it...

Not certain if this has helped anyone past 10.4.10 yet though. A static IP helped some. -

Serious connectivity problems after recent updates

So my iPhone 4S started draining battery after recent update, battery got changed and it worked perfect for 3 days, all of a sudden the phone shut down and now won't stay on unless connected to mains... Claims its at 100% battery but thats impossible as it was at 30% before it shut down randomly.
Cannot receive any signal "searching" constantly.
Turns off as soon as removed from usb ... wont stay on connected to laptop!
HELP!The iPhone includes a one year warranty. If an Apple store is not nearby, you can call AppleCare and handle an exchange under warranty over the phone. The exchange will be shipped to your door - someone must sign for the delivery so if no one will be at home, have it delivered where you work. You use the same box to return the existing iPhone back to Apple. Return shipping label and tape to reveal the box incuded - call the carrier with number incuded when the box is ready to be picked up. AppleCare will request a credit card in the event the existing iPhone is not returned within 10 days after the exchange under warranty is received.
Hardware can fail - it happens, which is why there is a one year warranty. -

The unlocked iPhone 6 version, will work well in Mexico right away after buying it?
The unlocked iPhone 6 version, will work well in Mexico right away after buying it? Or do I have to wait a few months? The unlocked version, not the T-mobile contract-free.
The T-Mobile phone that is for sale in the US is not "Unlocked", but it is instead Contract Free.
There is no such thing as a factory unlocked phone and the phone is either unlocked or contract free. An unlocked phone needs to be purchased directly from Apple and will remain unlocked whatever you do, but at present Apple is not selling and has not released the unlocked version of the iPhone 6 and 6+.
A contract free phone differs in that it will lock to the first sim card that you put in it, however, the T-Mobile contract free phone should work in India if you take out the T-Mobile sim card first before activating it and just activate it with your Indian sim card.
Remember though that although the phone will work in India you will not get 4G/LTE due to the frequency differences between the US and India and you will have no warranty cover for your phone in India - iPhone warranty is NOT international and is for the country of purchase only, so you will have to get back on a plane and fly to the US with the phone if you have problems. -

I am looking to update to a new imac with intel core processor. I am still old school with a powerbook G4:)
I want to know if I am going to have to upgrade all graphic programs right away after buying new computer.
Trying to weigh ALL costs involved.
Thanks for any advice!!!Anything you have that is powerpc code only will not run on a new machine. OS X 10.8 has no support for powerpc code (universal binary programs should be fine).
Other than that warning, without knowing exactly what programs you have, and what version you are on, it is hard to say whay will or will not migrate alright.
you might need to do some web searching and check apps at sites like roaringapps or on the programs Company web site.

My UPAD lite does not start after recent update. I have lots of info in it. Can anybody help me to get it back? Can I somehow undo the update? Thanks
"UPAD lite?"
I expect that you mean some version of iPad.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
