Wifi problem with OSX Yosemite

I owned my first 13 inch MBP Late 2011 that came with OSX Lion. I upgraded my MBP with every new OSX releases and were very pleased with them.
With OSX Yosemite, I was very happy with the fresh new feel and looks of it. The problem with the new OSX it that my wifi connection suffers from it. The speed are getting slower and slower and the connection often drop off unexpectedly. The worst thing of all is that I can't connect to my windows phone wifi sharing. This doesn't happen with the previous OSXes. Please rectify this problem as soon as possible. Thank you.

  • Bluetooth problem with OSX Yosemite: Magic Mouse and Keyboard

    Hello everyone,
    I've a problem on my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 13" (late 2013).
    I've always used it plugged with an external monitor (I love double screen), magic mouse and bluetooth keyboard. On Mavericks everything was perfect with this setup.
    Yesterday I installed OSX Yosemite and I've found a boring problem: my Magic Mouse and my Bluetooth Keyboard have a 0.5 second of latency, lag. This happen when the Macbook is not plugged with battery charger. When he is on charge, the problem don't exist.
    I noticed this bug also on the public beta of this summer and submit the feedback.
    I hoped that they fixed this before release but the bug is still here.
    How can i solve this boring problem?

    I also reported this issue again and again during each beta release.
    This makes the MacBook basically unusable in battery power for doing any kind of design and coding work.
    I don't have any bluetooth addons or third party utilities. I also tried clearing PRAMs, and reinstalling Yosemite, to no avail.
    Here are some threads about the issue, which, I'm noticing, is common.

    Note that while the issue is kind of tolerable using the mouse, it's tragic with the keyboard.
    Does this prevent you from using OS X Yosemite?
    The issue makes it very difficult for me to use OS X Yosemite

    Hi, theresefromnewdenver.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I would need a little more information regarding the exact issue and type of connection to provide a better answer.  Here are a couple articles that I would recommend going through for this issue.

  • Bluetooth problem with OSX Yosemite

    Hi,
    I just installed Yosemite on my MacBook Pro MD101LL/A 13.3-Inch and I can't connect my Magic Mouse or my Big Jambox speaker through bluetooth.
    Is there a way to fix this issue?
    Thanks in advance.

    Bluetooth Connect Reconnect Problem / Solution Workaround for Yosemity: (Summary: Try 'Turn Wifi Off' to wake up Bluetooth!!!)
    If you can not connect/reconnect your bluetooth devices, try "Turn Wifi Off".  It seems to 'wake up' the bluetooth and then my devices reconnect.
    In my case, after sleep/wake of my MacBook, my bluetooth keyboard would NOT reconnect.  When I 'Turn Wifi Off" my bluetooth starts working again immediately and my bluetooth keyboard immediately reconnects.  I read on some non-Apple.com forum that sometimes 'Turn Wifi Off' on yosemite makes bluetooth start working again. Other times, 'Turn Off Wifi' followed by 'Turn On Wifi' makes bluetooth start working again.
    In my case, whenever I can not get my bluetooth devices to connect/reconnect to my MacBook, I simply "Turn Wifi Off" and it immediately reconnects.
    Good luck.
    P.S. I'm guessing that with the 'Handoff a.k.a. Continuity' enhancements to Yosemeti, which use Bluetooth to dynamically enable iOS devices to coordinate workflows with MacBooks, that Handoff's dynamic explolitation of bluetooth behind the scenes, which is a new style of load usage on Bluetooth, that it has messed up the way Bluetooth is managed in Yosemite.  I'm guessing that Apple is aware of this and will fix it eventually.  Until then, "Turn Off Wifi" seems to do the trick for me when I want to 'wakee up' my MacBook's bluetooth and get my external devices connected normally.

  • Problems with OSX Yosemite and iCal not running workflows to back up documents folder.

    I am trying to get my workflow I created to automatically back up to a SD Flash card I have in my Macbook Pro.  I have the workflow set up as an event on iCal but all the forums I have seen say to set the alert as "run the script" and I do not have that option.  In order for me to run my workflow I manually have to go into automator and run it. Plus many times when I want the program to run, my computer is sleeping/closed.  Any Ideas on how to get this process running automatically?
    Thanks!

    http://www.macworld.com/article/1157339/automate_backup.html is the link I used originally for the workflow.
    I just tried what you said in making the workflow into an application and then use it to run as an iCal alarm.  The application works great when I manually select it, but iCal still will not open it when it is set to open that specific application at the alarm time.

  • Canon 860 Series (Pixma) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips

    After spending several hours sorting out Canon Pixma OSX problems here are my thoughts:
    Canon 860 Series (Pixma 868) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips
    Problem:
    - New imac and MacBook Pro 2012 (OSX 10.8.2) had a problem using Canon Pixma 868 printer on network and would not scan or print using Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print), which has advanced scanning and photo printing functions. 
    - When I connected the canon printer to my imac, OSX 10.8.2 automatically downloaded and installed drivers for Canon 860 series printer. I could then add the new printer (select ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”) and printer would work while connected via USB but could not get to print or scan over network wifi. 
    - The original Canon 860 Series CD does not work with 10.8 and the manual / online instructions did not make sense (as based on CD install). 
    Solution:
    1) Install Canon Printer Drivers and Software (from official Canon site)
    Go to canon support site, review FAQ, then download and install following Pixma 860 Series software & drivers for OSX 10.8 (links see below). The version I downloaded is in brackets but check for updated version. Full instructions are below.
    Canon 860 Series Drivers & Software  for OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion:
    The base software and drivers needed for using Canon 860 Series on Mac OS X 10.8 (USB) are
    1 Printer Driver
    (Canon MX860 series CUPS Printer Driver Ver. 10.67.1.0 (03-Aug-2012))
    2 Scanner Driver
    (Canon MX860 series Scanner Driver Ver. 14.11.4a (03-Aug-2012))
    3 Network Tool
    (Canon IJ Network Tool Ver. 4.1.0 for Intel Mac (27-Dec-2012)
    Canon Software for using advanced printing and scanning functions (while connected to network)
    4 Solution Menu
    (Canon Solution Menu Ver. 1.4.1 (27-Jul-2012 ))
    5 MP Navigator EX
    (Canon MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 (02-Auf-2012))
    6 Easy-PhotoPrint EX
    (Canon Easy-PhotoPrint EX Ver. 4.1.6 (21-Jan-2013 ))
    Canon Support (HK) – check your local site
    http://www.canon.com.hk/en/download/main/index.do
    Select Product and drivers from support site eg http://support-hk.canon-asia.com/
    1. Choose a product category
    Multifunctional Printers
    2. Choose a product series
      Pixma
    3. Choose a product model
      Pixma MX868
    4. Choose type of document
    Downloads or FAQ
    If you have problems installing the software under 10.8, see the FAQ on Canon site. You will need to allow software installs from “unidentified developers by using “Control” Key or by changing your system preferences)
    2) Check Canon Printer and Software Working while connected via USB
    Once you have downloaded and installed drivers and software and restarted computer, check that the printer and Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print) are working via USB.  Open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App) and make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it shows the correct SSID Wifi settings (under the Canon IJ Network Tool App ‘Setup menu’).  This is normally done as part of the automatic install but worth double checking
    3) Add new network printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”).
    After you have checked USB printing turn off printer, unplug the USB cable and shutdown the Canon IJ Network Tool App.
    Then turn the printer back on and wait 30s. Then add a new printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”). Once you select “+” (add new printer), wait 10-30s for the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer to appear in the new window eg Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) (Kind: “Canon IJ Network”)
    DO NOT ADD THE MX 860 SERIES BONJOUR SCANNER (the Bonjour Scanner is the built-in software, is not needed and often appears first on the add printer list).  The Canon scanner can be accessed used through the MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 software (which has much better functions)
    You will now have two Printer Canon MX860 (USB) and Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network). Set the Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network) as default and test print and scan
    If the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer does not appear, check the printer and make sure that the printer can see the wifi network. On the printer select Menu / Settings / Device Settings / Lan Settings / WLAN Setting List.  It should say WLAN Active, identify the SSID and have an IP address
    If the printer can not see the Wifi Network, plug the USB cable back in, then open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App). Make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it has your SSID settings (under setup), if it has this info, restart the computer and the printer and try again

  • Wifi problems with new ipad

    I'm trying to learn how to correct wifi problems with new iPad.  It is the wifi only, 64GB model.  I want to be able to use it at work, where we have a great wifi network.  I can usually connect to our network with no problem, but after an hour or so my iPad loses the network.  When I try to reconnect, I see that the network is showing full strength reception, but I get the error message from the iPad that I am "Unable to join" the network.  My iPhone connects to the same network seamlessly, as do all of the other iPhones of my co-workers and the older generation iPads that some of our staff has.
    At other locations, I typically have no problems (home, apple store, etc.) but I have had the same situation pop up at a coffee shop where I could see that there was a wifi network available, but I could not join it even though it was the shop's free wifi. 
    I have tried turning the iPad off, turning off wifi and turning it back on again, and forgetting the wifi network in question.  I can't think of any other methods that are available to an end user to correct the problem. 
    I have already gone to the Apple store to swap out the unit, and the newer one is having the same symptoms. 
    Can anyone offer any advice here?  This is quite frustrating.

    No problem! Have a read at this most interesting article which has special significance as regards your models!

    What model of Mac?  I have a MBP running 10.7.3 and do not have that issue.  From the other couple of posts I've seen about it, it seems to be maybe an issue with some iMacs?  Have your tried searching the Lion or iMac forums for similar issues, just to see if anyone has hit on why it is happening?

  • Since upgrading to ios7 I have intermittent wifi problems with ipad2

    since upgrading to ios7 I have intermittent wifi problems with ipad2

    You need a larger internal drive and you definitely need to uninstall any Avast product, using the instructions at the developer's website. A 120GB SSD with only 9.6GB free just isn't going to cut it - you need at least 9GB in free space just to run Mavericks and many people suggest that 10-15% of your disk (particularly on a SSD) should be free space.
    Good luck,

    iPad mini with retina still having wifi problems with iOS 8.0.2 - slow or none. Resetting temporarily fixes problem it very annoying. Please fix Apple! Not up to scratch.

    I Have followed these steps, and tried others, such as resetting all my network settings. At best these only temporarily fix the problem - wifi still becomes slow or stops. I have other Apple devices connecting fine to my airport express. why is my iPad mini not working? Is it related to the fact it is 3G and I don't have a sim card installed? It is the current top of the range model with iOS 8.0.2. I paid over the odds for the best, and it is almost completely redundant.  Apple - I'm losing faith. You need to keep the public better informed and fix this problem fast, otherwise I will leave you for good.
