Wifi drops every time

Ever since upgrading to Yosemite on my MBA 2013, the connection drops, and don't reconnect automatic. I do a lot of downloads and is angering. I never had this problem in mavericks.
My problem is that, and this fix don't fix. http://www.product-reviews.net/2014/10/20/os-x-yosemite-wifi-bug-drop-issues-dur ing-review/

I have had the same problem with Yosemite on my Mac Air, my iPhone 5s since the update and I just got my iPad Air 2 and it has the same problem. My iPad Air was fine until the update and now it drops as well.

The signal drops every time i lock the screen.

I have a wierd problem with my Iphone5. The signal drops every time i lock the screen. It seems to happening only when the battery is under 20%.. After i restart my iphone the problem disapear, but after a time it happends again. I have ios 6.0.2. Anybody help?

When the phone goes into sleep mode (screen locked), after a few seconds of inactivity, the wifi will disconnect. This is by design to help further battery life. Once you wake the phone up, it connects. Nothing wrong with the phone, working like it is supposed to. The only way to wifi connected all of the time is to have the device connected to power.

I share my calendar with my wife. Every time I enter a new appointment, she receives an email alerting her to it. She has asked me to turn this off as it just fills up her email inbox with my "spam." Any help doing this would be appreciated. Thanks

I share my calendar with my wife. Every time I create a new event, it alerts her to it by send her an email. She thinks this is just my "spam" and wants me to turn it off. I can't figure out how to do this. Can someone give me the answer? Thanks

I think (and I'll double check) only the BBLink events will sync on a wired USB sync. I'm fairly certain of that.
You'll need to use your calendar syncing via an EAS email account (outlook.com, for instance, is free) to sync wirelessly. It works great. I use it and was a former tied to the USB sync guy as well... and I thought I was gonna die a painful death without it. I found more freedom this way.
This explains the process. But I don't think you'll get BBM Groups to sync.

Why did my screen crack while charging? It hasn't been dropped, every time I charge it a new crack appears I'm tired of this it's only a year old!

Why did my screen crack while charging? It hasn't been dropped, every time I charge it a new crack appears I'm tired of this it's only a year old! If its not covered under warranty never again will I go apple I've had nothing but issues so far.

We can't answer that. Maybe the battery is bad and is swelling inside the phone. Maybe someone else dropped it and didn't tell you about it.
Make an appointment at the genius bar and see what they say.
If it's over a year old, then it's not covered under warranty.

Why am I asked to join a WiFi network every time i open my computer?

Why I am asked to join a WiFi network every time I open my computer?

Make sure your Mac is up to date with all Apple Software Updates.
Then:
Go to System Preferences > Network. Select Wi-Fi or AirPort from the left column. Click the Advanced... button.
Under the Preferred Networks list, select every Wi-Fi network that appears, including the one you want to use, and delete every one using the "–" (minus) button. Select the box "Remember networks this computer has joined" if it is not already selected.
OK then Apply.
Select your wireless network in your Mac's Wi-Fi menu, provide your wireless network password, and determine if that solves its connection problems.
If the above does not resolve the problem, follow the steps in these Apple Support documents:

Infinity connection drops every time I use the lan...

So I've discussed this on here before with no joy (https://community.bt.com/t5/BT-Infinity-Speed-Connection/connection-drops-every-time-I-get-a-call-on... and I've tried swapping out all the equipment with no success. It is driving us mad now....we have to unplug the landline if we're going to use the Internet for a protracted period, just in case!
Advice please: where do I go from here? When I use the broadband section to report a fault I end up in a dead-end of self-help docs.
Do I report it as a phone line problem (and pay for an engineer to visiit) even though the phone line tests out OK?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well, that will teach me to be so optimistic..
So I'm now £129 lighter and using a new line...and the broadband doesn't drop out everytime the phone rings..
BUT it drops out periodically all the time now.. AND the speed is much less than before (I get 30 Mbps on a good day..15 Mbps is typical ,and it was less than 10 Mbps today before it dropped out completely). This may sound churlish to some but I work from home sometimes and the drop in speed, coupled with the frequent disconnections, is making it unworkable...
So I've reported the fault and despite the very nice Indian woman telling me that '15 Mbps is typical for wireless' after going through a very lengthy script, I am not happy. Wireless/Wired = makes no difference..I've tried...
Since its worse than before I've asked whether than can switch me back to my old line..the call raised on the 11th was marked as resolved today although I've still no resolution even though I was promised an answer within 24 hours..and have been promised that again today...and nobody rings me on my contact number that I give them (and is in my MyBT profile) but spurious 'we tried to contact you' messages are left on my home answerphone while I'm at work...
Resolved
Broadband fault VOL011-***********
*sigh* according to the official checker I should be getting better....

Why does my signal drop every time I try to use an application.

I've got a UFO style 802.11g, which I unfortunately kept up to date with the updates.
For well over a year now I've had my gear set up like this, airport in the den, my wife's older Imac in the den with it, the printer in the den as well and my Imac across the house. Now, everything in the den connects like cake. Always up, always a great signal.
My Imac across the house has always had it's ups and downs, we've got a stone fireplace and out kitchen in between. Basically, it's 3 rooms away. A whole bunch of walls and corners for the signal to bounce off of. So, I know, not an ideal set up. But it's worked ok for a good long time.
So, a few months ago I performed the recommended update. It said that it would increase connection quality. So I thought, hey, this might help me out! At first glance my connection seemed great! I never lost a bar, not while I was looking anyway. Then I started noticing that occasionally I switch a webpage or some such and it would tell me that I wasn't connected to the internet. What? I look up and I've got all the bars, so I try again and get through... then I notice the bars just flat out go dead. Now I can't connect again. Odd.
Ok, so I start paying attention and it just drops out at random... now, the signal used to fluctuate up and down fairly regularly before the update. I'd researched the problem and found out all the things that can interrupt my signal, and basically I've got em all in between my Airport and my Imac. I could live with that, because it would slow down, but it stayed connected for the most part. This was something new.
Ok, back to the problem at hand. Now I see the signal is either all bars or none. No 2 bars, no 3 bars. Here or gone. And while I'm paying attention, I notice that practically every time I click on something, from my mail app to a preview image the signal drops to nothing. Seemed a coincidence at first, but know I'm certain that it isn't.
So, random complete signal loss and complete signal loss when I use and app. Really not pleased.
Ok, so I figured maybe there's a fix on the way, but I've heard nothing of it. I installed the most recent update, absolutely no effect. Oh, and this one too was supposed to provide better connectivity. Where? I'm not seeing it! Everything in the den works just as well as it ever has. That's one of the things I've loved about Mac for more than 10 years. Easy to use and reliable. But this, this is just a big old pain.
I've tried to extend the network unsuccessfully with the Express. I've got another option to try with that, so my fingers are crossed. But I just don't get why my network is now worse than when I set it up when the only change that's been made have been the updates that I installed at Apple's insistence that my signal would actually be better.
Sorry for being so long winded, and for anyone who made it this far... is there anything that I can do? I really do prefer to have my office in the room that it's in, but it doesn't help me at all when I have to move my Imac to use it online.

This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?

3g drops every time i access an app that uses internet

I have a verizon iphone 4, every time i access e-mail, safari browser, twitter, pretty much any app that uses internet 3g seems to just cut out. It comes back pretty much as soon as i quit whatever app i try to use but i cant get anything requireing internet to work unless i connect to wifi, any help would be much appreciated.

sorry, I misunderstood your question somehow. I thought you were asking about the confirmation screen (not requiring a password) that you get when you first run an application that you got off internet.
You can't get rid of the password prompts when you install things that require system changes. and that's a very good thing IMO. But you should be able to install most apps without a password if you are using an admin account. only apps that use installers and change some system files require passwords. apps installed by a drag and drop into /Applications don't.

I need to refresh my wifi conection every time way?

Every time i use my ipad i must refresh my wifi, wasent like that earlyer

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

FRUSTRATING!! 4 month 27" iMac. WIFI drops every few mins.

I have a 4 month 27" Intel iMac. The WiFi connection drop every few minutes.
I called up phone support and they told me to move the router away from magnetic fields so now I have 'stuck' it to the ceiling of my apartment away from the Cordless Phone, TV etc....
Power Cycled the Modem
Updated the Mac Software
Called up the cable company to check for Firmware updates
Updated firmware on the wifi router
I then too the iMac physically to GENIUS - they kept it for a day and ran checks but did not find any issue with the system
Renewed the DHCP Lease as advised by someone on this forum
All possible approaches
Point is - this does not solve my problem. I have to click disconnect and re-connect WiFi every few minutes. It 'drops' while drafting a mail and then you have to reconnect to SEND the mail OR when streaming a movie 'LOADING' every few minutes and you have to re-connect.
What is the point of a high end computer when it cannot hold on to a wifi which my $500 Dell holds seamlessly and so does my iPhone and Wii.
Anyone have a concrete solution?

Hi
I may have a fix for you. It requires you to change your WiFI security from WPA/WPA2 to the (lower) security but effectively still pretty secure WEP. You can use the 128bit security. Some routers seem to have a problem with the passwords of WPA - I don't know the technical stuff but its happened to me not just on a mac network but on a Windows XP network aswell. I offer this to you because it worked for me, and is still working.
The thing to do is to log onto your router and change its security from WPA to WEP. To do this open your browser of choice and type in the ip address of your router. eg. 192.168.1.2 The side of your router should have this address displayed. If you have changed your router's ip address for some reason you need to use that address, obviously.
Navigate to your security page on your router. You may have to type in an Administrator password for the router. (this prevents anyone with a bit of knowledge randomly, or maliciously changing your settings and locking you out).
Select WEP security, and select 128bit if you have the option. This will give you a passkey of 26" bits" long.
Type in your new security password. Write it down EXACTLY as you type it. Remember, for WEP you can only use Hexadecimal - so numbers 0 to 9 and letters a to f in any combination. JUST make a note of it exactly, as if you don't, getting back on your router via wifi will be impossible.
Next on your iMac, or whatever, delete your wifi network connections. You could also delete your wifi connection in Network Preferences, and start again. To make things absoutley sure you can edit your keychain and delete the keychainentry for your old WPA wifi network name aswell.
Now, in Network Preferences under Network Name type the SSID of your wifi network exactly as it is on the router. The iMac will find the network and offer you a box to enter your WEP password. Type it in exactly as you remebered/wrote it down. You should now be connected to your Network using WEP security.
You shouldn't have any more problems with dropping wifi connections after sleeping your iMac and in most real world situations you will still be spretty secure.
I offer this fix "as is" - if you don't feel competent to make the changes then don't - just ask someone who does know!

When i return home after work my ipad2 requests wifi password every time

why my ipad2 requests password every time to connect to my home router. my iphone recognizes it automatically??.

Try forgetting the wifi network. Touch the little blue arrow next to your wifi network and choose forget.
Reset your router. After you've reset etc, try connecting to it again with your iPhone.

WiFi drops numerous times a day !!

Hi
I have a 1TB Time Capsule running for more than a year now. Its my backup and router solution. Its been running fine all this time but from lets say two months
it started to drop my wifi connection.
When this happens I am unable to browse the Internet or access the time capsule itself.
It only happens with the wifi because the plugged in Ethernet computers keep their connection to Internet.
I don't use other frequency than 5GHZ (n) but I already tested with 2.4Ghz and it does happens.
Already installed SNMP Server on my machine to receive traps from time capsule but no "event" was received when connection drops.
Running the latest version 7.5.2, downgraded to 7.5.1, with the same results.
Happens with Windows 7 laptops on 5Ghz and Mac OSX 5Ghz.
It could work without problem from a long period and suddenly wifi drops.
Can Someone help.
My best Regards

welcome to the forum
are you connected directly to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Do you have any phone extension sockets in your home?
Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone
Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

Does it help to make it many numbers away from the neighbors?
ideally, you'll want your router to broadcast on a channel that is "5" away from others (if the other channel is 11, you'll want 5 or 6). obviously, in a crowded environment, that may not be possible.
Also since I have 4 computers connected to the gateway and they were fast and good
are they connecting to the 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz band ? there is (for now) less equipment using the 5 GHz band ...
check this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2412843&start=0&tstart=0. you will find a lot of information and tips here.
Is it the new Ipod Touches 3G that are like this only?
i have a (refurbished) 2nd gen Touch so can't really say much about later models.
Are their software or hardware problems that I can't fix and should return? I like the Ipod Touch for everthing else, but gee the wi-fi is worthless this way.
i wouldn't give up so easily. my Touch has not given me any wi-fi problems despite the fact that i can see @ least 12 other networks in my area.
