Wifi occasionally disappearing after OS X Yosemite upgrade

Recently I upgraded to OS X Yosemite. Since then everything has been working pretty much fine, except every so often my wifi connection suddenly disappears. I have to turn my wifi off and then on again to get my internet connection back. This isn't a huge deal to me (it could be worse) but it is very annoying. I have read about various "fixes" for this problem in Yosemite but I don't know if they are intended for my particular problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. Check the cycle count of the battery against the rated life for your model. The battery may be due for replacement. If the power adapter is connected almost all the time, the battery may need replacing even though the cycle count is not too high.
2. Follow these instructions, or these for OS X 10.8 or earlier.
3. In the Energy Saver preference pane, uncheck the box marked
Enable Power Nap while on battery power
if it's shown (it may not be.)
4. You can also try resetting the SMC.
5. Make sure your system is up to date in Software Update.
6. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

Drastic slowdown on Macbook Pro quad core after the mighty Yosemite upgrade.

Is anyone @ Apple recognizing this issue after the Yosemite upgrade.. my laptop went from blazing fast webpage and software use to a slow turtle.. my pentium celeron is running faster than my current Apple laptop.. There should be a warning saying your PC will turn back 20 years by choosing this upgrade . everything is slow.. it take close to 30 seconds or more to boot up.. come on now I have a SSD.. did not have a problem with Maverick.. Youtube will buffer with 16gb memory.. the wife cuts of random.. all these issues after Yosemite.. what the deal Apple is there a fix or I need to go buy Maverick from the Apple store and re-install? I done have a back up.. I'll re-install and loose my data , no big deal.. but I refuse to run Yosemite with the power less than celeron laptop..

Why is my macbook pro running slow after os x yosemite upgrade

Why is my macbook pro running so slow after os x yosemite upgrade

Please describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The better your description, the better the chance of a solution.
For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? What other changes did you make, if any, just before it became slow? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup.

Safari isn't working continuously after os x Yosemite upgrade

Hi,
I am having hard time using Safari after upgrading to os x Yosemite. I have MBP retina early 2013 and what the problem seams to be is when I use the app, it works fine for some time and than it freezes and does not respond. At the same time I switch to Chrome and it works fine all the time. After 30 mins or so, if I go back to Safari it works fine again but for some time until it freezes again. All other apps are working just fine only Safari freezes several times a day. Also when I try to watch You Tube it lags every 5 sec. and it is practically impossible to watch. I tried to quit the app and than relaunch but without success. Any suggestions please?

Ok .. just checking.
Might be a cookies, cache, or extensions issue ..
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that didn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
For YouTube.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Now open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
Now quit and relaunch Safari then try YouTube content.

Dock icons disappear after 10.5.7 upgrade & .mac sync

Hi -
I have recently upgraded to 10.5.7, but now I am "loosing" dock icons after a .Mac (mobileme) sync. If I place an icon in the dock, it will remain in-place for about ~5 seconds then disappear completely.
I tried renaming my ~/Library, logging out then logging in, and although it was a "fresh" user the dock was working correctly (I could drag apps into it just fine with disappearing).
When I replaced my real ~/Library, the disappearing dock icon issue returned.
Has anyone else experienced this, or does anyone know what is going on with the 10.5.7 upgrade to cause this issue? I have quite a lot of necessary things in my Library (about 21gb worth) so can't really do without it.
TIA,
C.

Thanks for your reply.
I couldn't reset the mobile me sync data; the settings would not save and also my various machines which are sync'ed via mobile me were not displayed.
So I used TimeMachine to restore a copy of my Library (from a version which was about a week old) and all seems back to normal now. I then reset the sync database as you suggested, which worked fine. Thank goodness for backups!

Disk directory disappeared after 7.4.1 upgrade

I see folks are having various problems with the 7.4.1 update, but I haven't seen anything exactly like this.
After upgrading an AEBS to 7.4.1 the directory on the attached USB drive disappeared. The drive is visible in Airport Utility (5.4.1) which correctly shows disk capacity, available and used space, etc. Mac Finder and Windows Explorer can see the network drive, but cannot display the file directory - no folders or files are shown. But the properties of the drive can be displayed, and the directory is visible and intact when the drive is directly attached to a PC or Mac via USB.
Anyone else have this experience?

{quote}I don´t get it ! just delete and copy the files? just that?{quote}
Yup, that's what fixed it. 2nd level Apple Support called it "unstable directory." I asked for the technical explanation from Engineering but haven't heard back yet. Makes as much sense to me as it apparently does to you.
{quote}Another symptom is, after this firmware update several files with 0 bytes and gibberish names appear in my disk...{quote}
I didn't experience that problem. Don't know if a Mac could delete them, but reformatting would be my preference.
{quote}...how may I format fat32 500gb disk using windows vista{quote}
Try going to the drive manufacturer's site and look for a utility. For instance, I used Seagate's DiskWizard on my 1TB FreeAgent drive (http://seagate.custkb.com/seagate/crm/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=200895&NewLan g=en&Hilite=format+fat32).

Netflix button disappeared after installing 5.1 upgrade

After I've upgraded to the latest 5.1 (5201) version of Apple TV software, the button for Netflix (and Hulu, but I don't use it) disappeared from the main screen.
Any ideas how to get it back?
Everything else seems to be working normally.
Thanks.

No but I have been unable to access the search function on Netflix since upgrading to version 5.1. Also I have difficulty with Podcasts on Apple TV. They won't resume playback from where I left off and my "Favorites" in Podcasts are difficult to access. There are many bugs in 5.1 and I'm surprised there isn't much talk about it here.

Wifi very slow after iOS 6.1 upgrade

Per iOS 6.1 I had no problems with my phones wifi. After the upgrade however the phone will connect to it but data transmission is extremely slow. Speed tests show that my connection speed on wifi is under 2Mb as where before the upgrade it was around 30. Mail will not download now either without turning off wifi and going to lte. Have also noticed that lte will randomly turn off and go to 4g while I am using it. The phone usually then goes to no signal and then back to full.

My
iPhone 4s
on ios 6.1 is so slow ..... I am getting irritated first time with apple product mainly after step up on ios 6. Everything works great in ios 5.1.1 .....
Please fix this I cant download movies from itunes It takes so much time.....

Fonts not installing on FontBook after OS X Yosemite upgrade

After I installed OS X Yosemite, I open FontBook to install new fonts. The font installation windows appears (Validating, Installing, etc.) but then it disappears and none of the fonts installs. Is anybody else experiencing this problem?
I'm on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)

I actually looked elsewhere for an answer and found I had to download the Adobe Creative Cloud to successfully download Acrobat Pro.
As a new Adobe user, it is a pretty poor that (a) there is not a full installation guide catering to all user levels and (b) Adobe still seem unaware of the problem judging by the responses to my original post and (c) ACC is another pay monthly option over and above Pro 11.
Forgive me if this is obvious to experienced Adobe users, it is not to me.

ITunes uses old library after OS X Yosemite upgrade

Hi there. In the last couple of days I reorganized my iTunes. Deleted songs, genres, renamed them etc. Today, I upgraded to Yosemite OS. The new iTunes switched to a library that hasn't got the changes I made. So it's an old library, not the newest one I had on Mavericks. I tried to restore via Time Machine (the .itl-file), and when I open iTunes it looks fine, but after a second it starts refreshing the library and the old one is there again. :-( Any ideas?

Thank you very much for responding! That seems like the logical thing to do - and I did it. But it's the same as before: At first, the new Library is shown, and then a popup-window appears and the library is "aktualisiert" in German, meaning updated, and after that it's the old one again... :-(

Wifi passwords disappeared after update 10.10.3

After installing the latest Yosemite patch 10.10.3, and after a subsequent restart, my wi-fi passwords all had to be re-entered on all my network settings. All worked well after I put them in again, but it was a nuisance. Did anyone else have this issue?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Step 1
Enter "windowserver" (without the quotes) in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any – the text, please, not a screenshot.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash reports. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent one and post the contents – again, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)

Safari gray navigation bars won't disappear after 1.1.1 upgrade

Those lite gray navigation bars on the top and bottom of Safari will not disappear once a web page is loaded. They used to pre 1.1.1 upgrade. Anyone else experiance this?

If you mean the navigation bars, I believe they never disappeared before the update.
