Wifi dropping issues on mac os x lion

I have a mac my wifi work fine and so as my other computers and iphones and so on. But as soon as i upgraded to to mac os x lion my wifi started to drop and lose wifi range no i can only use wifi close to my dsl which is sensless but thats the only way i can connect to the internet. Then i said its probably my router so i changed my router to att uverse and it stil did the same thing.. I then called apple support the couldn't help me they said it might be a environment thing blocking my wifi range but i told them all the rest of my computers are on my wifi are working fine and he was like it can't be the the software or a hardware problem but i think theres a bug on mac os x lion that messes up your airport card to get long range wifi signal.. so if anybody else is having problems like me please let me know... or if you have an issue to fix this contact me

Has New Router or Antenna Helped WiFi Dropping Issues?

Hi, I'm helping someone get setup with their brand new MacBook (2.26Ghz White). It's only 3 days old, but could not reliably connect to their wireless network anywhere except in the same room as their router. They have a Netgear WGR614 router.
When in the room with the router, everything works great, but once out in the main living room (just down a very short hallway), they get constant dropouts or the computer won't connect at all. I would say it connects maybe 10% of the time. But an old PC laptop, my Android phone, and the living room TiVo all connect perfectly and never drop out, no matter where we walk.
I've read through some of the threads, and most are concerning older machines. But I spent a couple hours with 2nd level Apple tech support today, and they concluded after much testing that it may be hardware related. So we ended up taking it back to day and swapping for a completely new machine (instead of having the Airport card replaced). But this machine has the SAME EXACT PROBLEM!
My signal strength in the main area averages around -60 to -70, which should be fine to connect. And it appears to be on a pretty clear channel.
- So, if it's not hardware related (or if all MacBooks will have this same issue), I'm wondering what other solutions people have tried that has given some success?
- Anyone try extension antennas for their routers? If so, which work well and are affordable?
- How about specific routers known to work well with Mac (better than Netgear)? The Airport Extreme BS is just too expensive for what it offers.
THANKS! If we can't get this working in this small, basic setup, we'll probably have to try something other than Mac unfortunately.

But what's really ticking me off, is the Xfinity hotspot broadcasting just fine. Hadn't gotten around to turning it off yet. Hey Comcast, what gives!!!Your decision on the public hotspot on your equipment...me ? I turned it off....Have you used a wireless scanner to see if you are getting stomped on by surrounding wifi APs? Channel congestion can impact your system....

Focus issues in Mac OS X Lion

In my air application we are getting lot many issues related to focus in Mac OS X Lion. In other operating system we dont have any issues of Focus. Any solution?

Thanks for the additional info. Your setup is different to this thread and more like the other scenario that you posted in, so the steps above don't quite apply.
But fear not, I can give you what you need to know.
The first thing is that the method you used to add the printer previously, ie select to Add via Print & Scan and select Windows, was the correct method for connecting to Windows shared printers. What would have been stopping you from printing was Windows. The authentication pop-up you saw was a request from Windows asking for user credentials to permit the printing. At this stage, if you entered your Windows user name and password the printing should have completed. Note that if you don't have a password set for the Windows account then this can cause errors with shared printing. So I suggest you do set a password for Windows (you should do this by default if this computer connects to the Internet) and this can help with getting the printing to work.
If you were entering the correct details then the second thing is that there are known issues with using Mac drivers when printing via Windows shares. Many vendors do not make printer drivers that work with this type of connection and when you do you can get these authentication messages. So if you were entering the correct Windows user name and password then it could have been the driver rather than Windows causing this pop-up to appear. In this case you need to look at using an alternate driver suite, such as that offered by Gutenprint, although without checking I don't know if your model of Epson is supported. Anyway, the web site will show you if it is.
If Gutenprint does not list your RX500 as a supported printer then there is a way that you can use the original Epson driver and that involves enabling Unix Print Services on the Vista PC. There is a bit to this so I recommend you try to get the above procedure working before you look at this alternative.

No internet using wifi after update to Mac OS X Lion.

After I have updated to Mac OS X Lion, I can't access to internet. My computer is iMac 20-inch, Mid 2007. can access to internet only with ethernet. I use onlu his wi-fi adapter. Nothing additional. My wi-fi adapter is Airport. I t workes on other computers near me on Snow Leopard. Tryed everything. Nothing helps!
pleas, help. Thanks!

I have a similar problem. Does the network show up? It shows up for me, but does nothing when clicked. Entering information manually using Join Other Network is my temporary solution.
My question.

Adobe WebForms issue running MAC OS X Lion

I require the Adobe PDF plug-in to function in order to use web forms that I need for work. Since I run MAC OS X Lion and have Safari 5.1, I cannot run my Adobe web forms. Any thoughts on a fix?

Well still no solution. It's unfortunate that a company as innovative as APPLE always seems to fall short in the most basic areas. Never will understand it.
At this point I've given up. I got a copy of virtual box and Windows 7 for the one task I use every day, which worked in Safari 5.0.6.
Thanks all for the help. If anyone comes across this and has other suggestions I'm open to trying anything. As frustrated as I am with Apple and the Mac it's still my OS of choice.

WiFi Dropping issue with Lion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just got off phone with support and they informed me it has to be my router causing the issue. Now I just bought the iMac on sunday and its my first Mac. My PC had no problems with the network or the wireless printer, But now I guess my router is bad, Lol. Wonder if anyone else got the problem fixed. New Lion update did not fix my Wifi issue.
Love my new mac! Thats sarcasm
Thank god Apple has 14 day return policy, might need to use that and go buy a HP.

Have to admit I feel your pain. I had an old Netgear that worked great with iPods, MacBooks, in-laws PCs when they visited. Then I upgraded to a new MBP and it wouldn't stay connected. Long story short, I broke down and bought a refurbished dualband Airport Extreme and after a little tweaking it has been running perfectly, including a 5Gz band that is very fast (not any faster on Internet, but home network file transfer is faster). I read volumes of info about this problem and came to the conclusion that either Macs are getting pickier and pickier regarding wireless (innocent answer) or Apple wants us to buy Apple stuff (not so innocent answer). So they got $129 out of me that I felt I shouldn't have had to spend, but it is seamless and works great. And I've also read others who got an Airport Extreme and still had problems. Wireless stuff can be very complex.

Is there a fix for the iPad2/iOS7 WiFi dropping issue yet?

After searching through Many threads regarding iPad2 Wi-Fi issues, I have found a lot of different "solutions" and I've tried them ALL but my Wi-Fi is STILL dropping out on me all the time. My iPad is running iOS version 7.1.2. I am constantly getting errors like
"We were unable to connect to the servers. Please try again later."
or
"Internet Connection Lost",
or i try to download an app and it just spins for a minute then acts as though nothing happened and the app never installs. I literally can't use any of my apps and the only way to reliably download them onto my iPad is to push it over from itunes with the ipad plugged in via usb after downloading it on my computer.
I have tried:
1-Checking connection settings (airplane mode Off, wifi connected to correct secure home network, bluetooth Off, mobile data Off)
2-rebooting ipad
3-making sure there's nothing running in the background by double-tapping the home button
4-removing an apostrophe from the ipad name.
5-putting the ipad into Airplane mode and then going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
6-going to Settings > Control Center and disable Access on Lock Screen then turning ipad off and on again.
7-updating router firmware
8-doing a factory reset, then repeating steps 1 through 6
Any other ideas?? I really need to make this work! Any help will greatly appreciated.

8-doing a factory reset, then repeating steps 1 through 6
Do you mean a restore to factory settings?. If so did you set up as new or restore from back up afterwards?

P2P connection drop issue with MAC 10.5 Leopard

I have P2P application which connects to FMS Server hosting with influxis.com using RTMFP protocol . The application works just fine with all other OS except older MAC 10.5 Leopard with flash player 10.3 installed.
The problem is that p2p chat, audio and video does not transmit and connection is dropped after around 50 seconds. Its same with different Computers with above mentioned OS and configuration.

It happening only on MAC 10.5 with flash player 10.3 but happens never on newer MAC or Windows PC with any browser or flash player . So it seems a old MAC specific bug.
The same issue occurs with the (Cirrus sample application ) by adobe using rtmfp at this link

Z3 wifi dropping issue, im a new android user.

Hi all,
So ive just moved to android from iOS. But anyway in the quick settings on my z3 my wifi is turned on. When im connected to a wifi network the phone works perfectly.
My issue is that the wifi turns itself off when I leave my home or workplace. i.e. When im not connected to wifi and im outside it turns itself off. Now my question is that normal? After some testing I noticed the issue is intermittent and it turns on and off everynow and then when im not connected to wifi.
Coming from an engineering background I would initially suspect its a fault with the wifi chip however I dont want to jump ahead just yet.
My settings are:
Network notification: On(ticked)
Keep wifi on during sleep: Always
Scanning always available: Off(not ticked)
Avoid poor connections: On
rest is standard.
Any help would be appreciated
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just curios is that a guess or actually a resolution to the problem. Reason I ask is because it says that google apps can search for wifi which im not liking the sound of. As I said im a new droid user

Wifi dropping issue

I have a MBP and when I let it go to sleep it will drop the wifi when I wake it up. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks.

Go to Network System Preferences and click the Advanced button;
From the Wi-Fi tab, delete all the known networks
Return to the main Network display and delete Wi-Fi from the Services list.
Finally, add a new Wi-Fi service (by clicking the + icon at the bottom of the list section).

Imovie download issues on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5

Hello, I am doing a project for an organization and they want me to create some videos via Imovie. However whenever I go to the download button on the mac store, It says that I'm unable to download imovie, because the computer's software is not updated. I know the simple answer would be to update it, but the company doesn't want to at the moment and I was just wondering if there's a way to download an earlier version of imovie that would be compatible with this version. Thank you

Does CS3 work on Mac OS X Lion?

I have installed the Adobe CS3 Design Premium (from original package discs) on my iMac but although I am able to open Photoshop, the other applications won't open and instead return "the application has unexpectedly quit" notification. I was able to use this suite (and all applications) with no problem in my old mac laptop a few years ago. Does anyone know whether this is a compatibility issue with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 and Adobe offers a solution? Thanks.

Cgguyen in the window which you typed into to start your discussion you can perform a search. By default it searches that particular forum. You can remove the criteria to search all Adobe forums. You can then see the discussions which are answered or not to help you determine the best discussion to meet your needs. This is different than using a search engine such as Google or Bing. You can find an example in the Photoshop General Discussion forum at Photoshop General Discussion.
I am recommending the forums for the specific application since that is the best place to seek assistance if you are facing a non-installation issue. The community in each of those forums are going to be more familiar with how the application performs under recent operating systems.

Sluggish Flash Builder 4.5.1 performance on Mac OS X Lion

I recently acquired an iMac with Core i7 3.4GHz CPU, 8GB of RAM. The system is brand new with nothing but Flash Builder installed. I have similar setup on Windows which is running on an 3-yo laptop sporting Win7 x64, 1.6GHz low voltage Core 2 Duo CPU and 8GB of RAM. Since the laptop is my primary computer, so it is constantly running other apps such as Outlook, Doc, etc.
My project consists of 3 library projects and two application projects on Mac. I have set the IDE to turn off automatic build as building the application takes more than a few seconds. To my surprise, I notice any changes made to the application or library, Mac OS X takes significantly longer time to compile the application.
I wonder if this is a known issue on Mac OS X Lion, or if there is anyway to improve Flex compiler performance on Mac.
Tangent

Yes, I have EXACTLY the same problem - except that my project is much larger and FB on Lion never gets to finish!
Going back to Snow Leopard would be a big bind - anyone in adobe care to shed some light on this?

Does InDesign CS3 work on Mac OS X Lion?

I have installed the Adobe CS3 Design Premium (from original package discs) on my iMac but I am unable to open the applications (with an exception of PS) and get "the application has unexpectedly quit" notification. I was able to use all applications with no problem in my old mac laptop a few years ago. Does anyone know whether this is a compatibility issue with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 and if Adobe offers any solutions? The Customer Service says this is a technical issue (so they cannot help) and suggests that I seek help here but I had no luck so far. I already confirmed on another forum that this is not an installation issue and was suggested to seek help in program-specific forums. Thanks!

You won't get any kind of official statement that CS3 works on Lion, but Rick says he has it running, so there is potential. The problem you face is there was no testing or program modification for CS3 in order to run on Lion, so you're on your own (with any help you might find here from someone who is successfully doing what you want to do). Your problems are most likely due to some other software you also have installed.
As to why Windows has better OS backward compatibility than Mac, that's a difference in corporate philosophy -- Microsoft has a larger enterprise-scale customer base and they want programs to continue to run, and they're more likely to vote with their wallets.

cgguven,
I believe the compatibility is the responsibility of the upgrading party, and it can only be backwards; obviously, it depends on the fundamental (backwards) compatibility ensured by the other party.
On the part of Adobe, it may be noted that all versions from at least AI8 (three versions before CS, from 1998) and right up to CS6 (from 2012) are compatible with the same rather old Windows version XP from 2001.
And on the part of Microsoft, it may be noted that all versions from XP to the current 8.1 (from 2001 till present) are still compatible with the rather old AI8 from 1998 (and maybe even further back).
