Wifi going funny

Bit strange this but here goes...
When I connect my mac mini to wifi, sometimes it will connect, sometimes not. Also, it never saves my sky hub as the preferred network even though it used to for months. When my mac mini claims it is connected to wifi and I open chrome or safari, they say it isn't connected. However, using ping and traceroute from the terminal I was able to conclude that wifi is connected. Right now, the only way for me to connect is via ethernet which isn't practicle. All my other devices can connect fine and I've tried all sorts such as repairing a permissions (there was a lot needing repaired there, I wonder if there's another problem?) rebooting the sky hub, clearing caches and restarting the mac itself. Help?

When my wife goes to login to Yahoo mail, my email Id and password automatically appear. How do I tell Firefox not to populate these fields with my id and passwords. Basically how do we not have firefox automatically fill in these fields.

When my wife was already login to our shared computer, I went into Yahoo email and told the computer to save my login and password. Now, everytime my wife goes to login to her Yahoo email my ID and Password are filled in. How do we have firefox not remember the Yahoo ID and Password for anyone?

My wifi goes down at least once a day and I have to unplug the time capsule and reboot it and then it works fine. Any idea why this is happening/what I can do to fix it?

I was having this problem while still using Mavericks -- it started after a Mavericks update last spring. During the initial Yosemite beta runs over the summer, it seemed to be fixed, but after the official launch in October, I had all sorts of problems keeping connected. Its gotten a little better, but still happens to at least one of my devices every day. Weird that we still cannot figure out why the connection keeps dropping on some devices, but not others, and then the next day, one of the devices that didn't disconnect the previous day will disconnect, but the ones that did disconnect, stay connected. It's just sloppy, poorly written software for technology that isn't working the way it should. If you turn off Continuity and Handoff on all your devices, you will probably see that everything stays connected. With those turned off on all devices, TC stayed connected to everything for over a month. The day I turned Continuity back on, all the problems started again. It had something to do with the bluetooth version being used, the wifi routine, and Apple's AirPlay technology not quite getting along with each other.

TS1398 Has anyone had a problem with wifi going to sleep on a mini?

It seems like the wifi goes to sleep. I have to go to settings and then it seems to work.

It does go to sleep unless you are connected to power. When you wake up the mini it reconnects.

WiFi goes off every few minutes since the upgrade.

I have upgraded my MacBook Pro a few days ago and, since then WIFI goes off every few minutes. I have to connect it all the time while working.
What can I do?

I dropped my phone and now the screen is going funny.

i dropped my iphone on the ground and now the screen is going funny. by that i mean it doesn't always click on the things i want and it doesn't let me unlock my phone, what should i do?

Get it fixed. Take it to an Apple Store for them to look at.
Dropping electronics on hard surfaces does have a habit of making them go "funny" - best to avoid doing that if you can.

Wifi goes out a lot but comes back if I turn the phone off/on. 5S

wifi goes out a lot but comes back if I turn the phone off/on. 5S iPhone. Not sure what the problem is. I've heard that changing my wifi router security to WEP works but that seems pretty lame.

Hello, SDSmith45202.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of the access point can correct the issue that you are experiencing. However, the issue could be a little more complex. Wi-Fi routers need adjustments to settings periodically for optimized performance with the constant progression of wireless device technology. Below, I have included two articles. The first article will cover basic Wi-Fi troubleshooting regarding iOS device connection. The second article cover the recommended settings for current Wi-Fi access points.

Try a Reset (Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 15 seconds).

IPhone 4S wifi goes on and off repeatedly on it's own/other apple products doing the same

Okay so I have WiFi problems and I can't seem to find anybody with the same problem as me. I've read many WiFi problems with iOS 6 on Apple Discussion Forums and also Googled it and none of the problems I've seen fit my category.
Infact, my problem is not only with iOS 6 and iPhone. I also have the same problem with my MacBook (2009, OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2) and also my iPad 2 on iOS 6.0.1.
I know it's not my WiFi, as there are also 3 Windows computers that work perfectly fine on it and I have tinkered with the wifi and all three of the Apple devices.
Here is the problem: I can connect to WiFi but the WiFi constantly 'flutters'. It goes on and off continuously. (The actual wifi option doesnt go off, the wifi bars disappear and reappear constantly) I do seem to get WiFi at other people's houses but not all.
Note it's not just cosmetic, it actually stops my connection. Also, I've not updated to iOS 6.0.1 on my iPhone, I see no reason to at this point. It didn't fix the problem on the iPad and there are no WiFi fixes for the iPhone 4S in the iOS notes.
This is something that I've dealt with since iOS 6 arrived. It's very aggrivating.
Other problem: This one involves my MacBook and not my iOS devices. My MacBook doesn't seem to like certain WiFi connection either. (Including my home networks) It will connect to most open networks with no security options set, but does not connect to WPA2 Networks. It says "Could not join "NetWorkName" A connection time out occured." Also used Network Utility & Wifi Diagnostics, both useless to me for this problem. But the WiFi Scanner in Network Utility did show me that my home networks are infact working. Just that this particular computer wont connect to it (Unlike every other computer in the house)
If anyone else is having this issue or has insight on the issue please let me know and if you have a fix or an idea of what might fix it, I'll give it a try, if I can and if I haven't already attempted it.

Lol you're going to love this... the one reason I wouldn't upgrade iOS on my iPhone was the exact thing that was holding my wifi back? I just feel stubborn now. Anyway. Thank you brandon, for atleast attempting to help.
UPDATE: After a while of hard headedness, I updated to iOS 6.0.1 and my wifi on my iPhone is working like a charm.
Weirdly, I'm not sure it was the iOS update that changed things, as my MacBook is actually connecting perfectly aswell?
Still no clue with the iPad. But no biggy. This is a huge change and one that I can definitely cope with.
(Now watch it just be my router making me look like a fool.) Because I also restarted it about an hour ago. (Which I have done numerous times in the past months.)
So I don't know what's going on but whatever it is, I'm happy with it right now. I will hope that it doesn't break down again after I post this.
For anyone that might run into this problem later on, update your phone. >.< New lesson learnt.

WiFi goes blind on 10.9 for mid 2012 MBA

Hello folks, hello experts,
this is going to be another thread with issue seen on previous versions of OS X.
I have bought a brand new in a box MacBook Air 11 a week ago, old stock however, mid 2012. It was just a day or two after 10.9 Mavericks came out, so the first thing I did was going to AppStore (over WiFi), made the FW check for the SSD, applied the Update, then (from this part over Ethernet) Upgrade from 10.7.5 to 10.8.5. Right after that Mavericks 10.9.
At home I have added my WiFi network and started to using the thing. Then following issue came out:
After waking from sleep, the WiFi is searching for networks but cannot see ANY.
What I did/tried:
All the possible old tricks (stupid or not) I could find:
- waking the MBA with power button
- keep the Bluetooth turned off
- deleted all preffered networks
- deleted Keychain entries
- moving system cofiguration files !
(- aks about others, I might have forgotten some...)
Nothing helped.
From the On/Off tricks also all possible were tried:
- Wifi
- Sign out
- Restart
- Power
Since the thing was new I had no problem to make fresh new install of 10.9 Mavericks. I did. Did not helped.
The issue is still here.
I have brought the MBA back to the shop, it went to authorized service. They have tried for one day (not sure, may be less) but they could not repeat the issue. They made Apple HW test, all OK. We agreed, when it comes back, they will try longer.
Symptoms:
- When MBA goes to sleep - seems like only the "deeper sleep" with disc unplugged - and then wakes does not see any available networks. WiFi is On and searching. Produces no error, behaves like everything is OK, just there are no networks around.
- Probably it should be not an issue of my router as the MBA does not see any network, not even the ca. 8 newtorks from my neighbours
- There is no 100% cure, the blindness seems to go away randomly. I mean, sometimes one trick helps, sometimes none (On/Off: WiFi, Sign Out, Restart, Power). I cannot tell why it then goes all right.
- My network (from which it goes to sleep) is on TP-LINK router with excellent signal, set up as not broadcasting SSID, Auto channel, WPA2, Auto bgn. I tried using also broadcasting SSID, fixed channel, fixed N.
- I cannot tell if it has a connection to a user, seems like not. There are 2: Administrator and Standard. Looks like the issue might relevant for both. I could update here.
- It does not matter if the MBA is on battery or plugged in.
- This issue never occured on any other device before (Windows PCs, Andorid devices, iPhone, MacBook 2009 - this one was not tested on my network after 10.9 update yet).
Other information:
- All possible updates for 10.9 are installed, including the one from this week.
- No accounts are connected (no mail, no cloud).
- From the installed software, there is TeamViewerQS and Skype - this one was and is not connected, Chrome web browser.
- FireWall is turned on.

Any other required information or log files could be supplied within my skills (and your navigation), just ask for them.
My personal humble opinion told/tells me follwing:
- At first I thought it was SW issue. That is why I did the clean re-install.
- Afterwards it looked like a HW problem. That is why it went to AD/S.
- Since all HW tests passed OK, I think again it could be only SW issue. The question is now, is it a WiFi firmware issue or OS X 10.9 issue ? Or both...
Any input will be welcomed and highly appreciated. Thank you all in advance !

Miaco,
I have the same issue and it behaves as you say. I did the SMC reset and it solved the provlem...
...for a few days. Now the same behavior is back :-( I did again an SMC reset and also a PRAM reset but it did not help.
I was again in contact with Apple chat and he also recommended to play with the locations, creating a new one. I haven't tested that, but will give it a try.
The next thing if this does not help, was to to make a new installation via "archive - install". I will see...but it is very annoying because under Moutain Lion everything was fine. I'm not really motivated to make a new Installation since this is very time consuming....:-(
So if I were you, give it a try to reset SMC, PRAM and play with locations...
reset SMC:

reset PRAM:

Wifi goes on and off, backlit keyboard doesn't work and no sound since Lion upgrade. I can get the wifi back by going into safe mode and re booting(someone suggested on here), but can't let computer die or turn off or have to do it again.

My Wifi connection goes off if computer dies or shuts off, I can only make it work if I go into safe mode and reboot, it was just that, but now my keyboard doesn't light up like it's supposed to in low or no light and in system preferences it's like it doesn't exist. Also, the sound doesn't work, I can't turn it up or down, it shows the sound icon grayed out and the anti symbol when I push F11 and F12, also it's like it doesn't exist in system preferences either. I have never had any problems with my MB Pro, I purchased in Feb. 2010. , but I upgraded to Lion last month, I haven't been using my laptop as much since I had an Ipad I given to me, so I think that's why I didn't notice these issues right away. What do I do? HELP!! Do I take it to Apple? I don't have the Apple care warranty, so will it be expensive for them to fix? Can I get my money back for Lion if I restore to Snow Leopard?

Take it to an Apple store or AASP. How much it will cost will depend on their determination of the problems. To bad you didn't purchase extended AppleCare. No you don't get your money back for purchasing Lion.

Wifi going crazy with activity since icloud

Since accepting iCloud my wifi has been going nuts,it doesn't stop& it is interfering with things I may want to do like play a game,it slows everything to the point that I have to refresh.Can anyone help?

You're using type 200 (adVarChar), and you've limited
yourself to three
characters. If "seats" has more than three characters, you
will get this
error. You may get this error because you used NVARCHAR,
which is Unicode.
That's type 202 (adVarWChar).

Airport Express - when extending with a second Express I get "Unexpected error occurred" and wifi goes down

I've had one Airport Express G2 running smoothly for months and now trying to extend it with a second Express over LAN cables (ie join existing network). When doing this I get "Unexpected error occurred. Try again." error and then the working base station goes offline (wifi down).
I have tried various ways of going about this and sometimes managed to bring the second one online to try different configs. But it only stays online briefly before both devices go offline (up and down constantly).
Also tried restarted the process from scratch on both devices several times but keep landing up with the same result as soon the second device gets connected.
Any ideas?
thanks

You do not indicate whether you are trying to configure the extending AirPort with an iPhone or iPad....or....with a Mac or PC.
Can you provide a bit more information in that regard?
Assuming that you are using an iPhone / iPad for the setup, or a recent Mac......the setup utility will practically configure the extending AirPort for you automatically. All that you really need to do is name the device and the setup "wizard" takes over from there.
While the utility might initially indicate that the AirPort Express will be setup to extend the network, the real key is checking to make sure that the next setup screen indicates that the AirPort is being configured to extend using Ethernet. If you don't see extend using Ethernet, then the setup will not be correct.
Once the extending AirPort has been setup, if you then go back into AirPort Utility to check the setting for the extending AirPort, the actual setting for the AirPort will be "Create a wireless network".

Hello
I have the same problem and I keep waiting for the next software update maybe it will be resolved there
Unfortunately I do not have a solution

I have registered under my name, reset and input apple id for my wife. Says something about Internet connections while we have wifi going.

I have registered iPod touch under my name, then decided to reset and went into face time, asked for apple id. Input my wife's apple id but it says check Internet connection while out Wi Fi is on and going. What should I do to activate face time for my wife id to use?

Have a look here...
