Wifi keeps dropping out on MacBook Pro after installing Yosemite

Wifi keeps dropping out on MacBook Pro after installing Yosemite. This is not good. Apparently, a lot of people are having this issue with Yosemite. Any suggestions for my MacBook Pro? It's bad enough that Yosemite looks so boring, but to have a major issue like constantly disconnecting from wifi is deplorable.
I plan to keep Mavericks on my iMac until this issue is resolved.

Can't boot macbook pro after installing yosemite

I installed Yosemite last night. Installation went smoothly, but when the mac reset and try to boot the loading bar on the black screen with the apple symbol, didn't move for hours.
I have been keeping up to date with the other post on here and have tried
- Reseting the PRAM
- Booting in recovery mode and turning off the wifi
- Reinstalling Yosemite from recovery mode
- Booting in safe mode and removing all of my login items
Currently every time I reset, the loading bar on the black apple logo screen stops in one of three spaces.
Does anyone have any other ideas? I have my files backed up so if it comes to it I can reset the mac, but I hope it won't come to that.

You might try to reboot and hold the option key down to see if the screen illuminates. If it does then you can choose from an external disk or your main drive.

About Lion Recovery
Recovery System
OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion includes a built in set of utilities in the Recovery System. Restart your Mac and hold down the Command key and the R key (Command-R), and keep holding them until the Apple icon appears, indicating that your Mac is starting up. After the Recovery System is finished starting up, you should see a desktop with a OS X menu bar and a "Mac OS X Utilities" application window. Note: If you see a login window or your own desktop and icons, it is possible that you didn't hold Command-R early enough. Restart and try again.
In order to reinstall OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion, you will need to be connected to an Ethernet or Wi-Fi network. The Wi-Fi menu item is in the upper-right corner of the screen. Click the icon to display all available Wi-Fi networks. Click your preferred network name and, if needed, enter a username and/or password.

My iPod touch gen5 wifi keeps dropping out. All the other iPods, iPads and iPhones don't in the house, just the iPod touch gen 5, entering the password every time is a pain, why can't it have a button to remember password like all the other devises.

My iPod touch gen5 wifi keeps dropping out. All the other iPods, iPad, and iPhone 4's don't in the house.
Why doesn't it remember the wifi password like the other i devises, it's a bugger entering it in every time.

You late question did get answered:on the 18th of this month. Sounds like you did not like the answers. Starting a new post without mentioning yur first post wastes people time
My iPod touch 5th gen isn't charging and when I plug my working charger in that I've always used a message pops up that says "This accessory may not be supported". So can I send it in for a new one if I have a warranty?

Wifi keeps dropping out after 9months without problems

At Christmas I bought my lady an Ipad(retina with wifi) sometime after that I noticed my 9month old iphone4s was not connecting to wifi, i thought it may be a DHCP problem on the EDIMAX wifi router which is setup to run WEP, I have tried the following roughly in this order. All with varying degrees of temporary success!
1 toggle wifi in iphone settings
2 toggle airplane mode,
3 Reboot iphone,
4 Reboot router,
5 Factory reset router - no password no encryption,
6 restore via tunes from december 2012 backup
7 restore via itunes from march 2012 backup
8 general reset and restore from march 2012 backup
9 as above but reset all settings via phone
10 Reset network settings in iphone
my wifi constantly drops out, sometimes the wifi toggle switch has greyed out requiring iphone reboot, sometimes even that hasnt worked and requires that the ihone has been restored.
I am now at a loss as to what has happened, is it hardware or software? I bought the phone from Tesco but am i correct that I can take it into any apple store for help?
TIA

Genius bar told me that the greyed out wifi toggle apparently is an indication the there is a hardware fault!
As you know if you followed the thread, I was able to recover for a very short time by restoring the operating system, but within 30mins the connection was being dropped. toggling the wifi on and off by either "forgetting network" settings or resetting iphone, or using the "aircraft mode" almost always results in a wifi toggle switch being greyed out! I don't know but it is possible that the errors are being tallied internally and on reaching a preset quota inform the user that there is an issue, This in my case takes the form of the wifi being greyed out!
The phone was just in warranty and apple replaced it free of charge, It had a month to run but the phone comes with a 90 day warranty. It was fully backed up so no real problem other than the 100mile round trip to the apple store.

Wifi keeps disconnecting on my Macbook Pro.

Macbook Pro (Mid-2012) Which I purchased 4 months ago.
It keeps dropping the signal about every 5 minutes, only on my home network. It's only this device too, since my phone and all of my roomates' devices are unphased. (streaming videos like it's no big deal)
This started happening after we lost connectivity with the snow a few days ago here in Seattle. I have tried all sort of toubleshooting, including the DNS thingy and restarting the router.
It does not have this problem when I am at work, school, or elsewhere.
I appreciate anyone who takes the time to assist!
Best,
Rachel

A great deal more information is available by holding the Option key while clicking on the Wi-Fi Icon on the MenuBar:
What do you get for PHY mode?

What RSSI?

And, How many other Networks do you see?

Video & Audio Drop Outs on Macbook Pro

I have a MacBook Pro with Version 10.7.3, 6 months old. Just recently when I play video, regardless of whether it's in iTunes, iMovie, or embedded in Keynote the video sticks, audio drops out for 1 -2 seconds or the shot freezes. What causes this and how is it fixed.

I apologize for the audio drop outs. I have sent you a private message to get account information from you so we can reprogram your boxes.

Internet Keeps Dropping on my Macbook Pro Retina

Recently on my Macbook Pro Retina, the internet keeps losing its connection. I've had this computer for a while and everything was fine until recently. I didn't change any settings and everything is fully up to date.
The scenario goes like this, I would be surfing a site and all the sudden it just stops working. The wifi signal is very strong and when I turn the wifi off and then turn it back on, its works perfect again for a while. I am not sure whats wrong, please help!

Why does my wifi keep dropping out

The Wifi on my new Mac mini works for a short time and then drops out. We have no trouble with either of our Macbooks and had no trouble with the iMac G5 that we have replaced with the Mini. The Wifi router is in the same place as previously.

Charge dropping out on MacBook Pro

Hi all, I've got a problem with my MacBook Pro and could do with some advice. I bought it about a month ago and today I've noticed that it's started behaving a bit oddly - when it's plugged in to the mains, the LED display on the MagSafe adapter keeps switching from amber to green, then off, back to green and then to amber. This is coupled with the battery display up on the top right hand of the screen switching from showing the charging image, then showing it's on battery, then to 'Not charging' and then back again to the charging image. The power brick was starting to make some odd noises too, a very high-pitched whine and when I held it to my ear I could hear what sounded like a whirring sound.
I tried the SMC reset to no avail and eventually shut the computer down but kept it plugged in. It seemed to charge with no problems when it was shut down, but when the laptop's both charging and being used (internet, Word, etc) it flickers between charging and not charging.
What would you suggest, just taking it to an Apple store and seeing if getting a new adapter would make a difference?
Many thanks in advance.

Try a different outlet. If you get the same result with multiple outlets, then the problem isn't with the outlet.
Make sure your power adapter is not damaged. Check the cable for frays and other damage.
Also check to make sure you have the correct adapter. 13" Macbook Pros take the 55W adapter, 15" and 17" Macbook Pros take the 85W adapter. If you have a lower voltage than what was included, charging can be hindered.
Disconnect everything from your Macbook and shut it off. While it's off, press the battery indicator button. You should see the LEDs light up. If they are green, the battery is ok. If they flash amber/red, or any other pulse, there could be a problem with the battery. There is a support article on this.
There was also a problem identified with the new L-shaped power adapters. Install the MacBook SMC Firmware Update 1.4 and try.
Cyclying the battery every 2 months or so is also helpful. Run the battery completely dead until the computer sleeps. Leave in this state for 4 hours or so. Fully charge the battery. This is also called calibrating the battery and helps expand its capacity!
