WiFi stops working after install of latest 10.8.5 update on MacBook 5,1 third time reinstall OS X

WiFi stops working after install of latest 10.8.5 update on MacBook 5,1 third time reinstall OS.
MB used as email and surfing tool when on vacation. Worked fine for months. Installed the latest security patch (update) and WiFi quit working. Two days later (still on vacation) WiFi started working again and worked fine for the next 2 days.
Came home and formatted and reinstalled 10.8.5 and all was fine again. We are selling the MacBook and setup new user, everything worked fine.
The update came up again so I decided to install it and WiFi instantly stopped working after the restart.
Does anybody have any idea what is happening.
Thanks

Not really, although WiFi has been a longstanding problem for lots of people. I fix for some breaks others.
However, if you are trying to sell it, you need to revert it back to the OS that shipped with it. You cannot sell your copy of Mountain Lion with the Mac. It is only licensed to you.
You also need to include the system disks that came with the Mac. If it came with Leopard (10.5), and you have a Snow Leopard (10.6) disk, you can install that if you provide that disk also.

WiFi Stopped Working After Installing WICD

Hi,
I've been messing with knetworkmanager, wifi radar, and finally WICD. All in an effort to get to a usable interface for me to connect to my router at home. I never managed to get the first mentioned 2 to work due to knet not even opening, and wifi-radar not detecting any devices.
Finally, I stumbled upon WICD, I installed it via the Arch WICD Wiki, and somewhere along the installation I must not have noticed that the Wifi light on my laptop went out, and I subsequently lost my wifi. I noticed this by the time I had the WICD GUI open and running and it wouldn't detect any devices.
I had my WIFI installed via ndiswrapper and an .inf I got from a dell website (I use an m1530). My driver is still installed, but not I don't get my wifi light to come on, thus its not working.
I use KDEmod 4.1 if that helps.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks.

FIY Google Search: m1530 wireless ndiswrapper. 1st result:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=408362
Try searching the forums before you ask questions.
Solution would be, apparently to downgrade your kernel. Or try and get the new broadcom drivers to work:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/Broadcom_43xx (or search the archwiki, it's there too, somewhere)
Other things you can do include:
-Trying the development branch of ndiswrapper / waiting for a new ndiswrapper
-Installing different linux/unix distributions until you find one where you driver works
-Reverse engineering how your card works and writing your own driver
-Working on the ndiswrapper code
-Buy a wireless card with linux native drivers, there's still problems with some of these but they've always worked much better for me than try to ndiswrap windows drivers. Bonus: figure out what you need your card to do and find a card that will do it (example: Do you need WPA or WPA2 to work? Because the rt2500 chipset works great unless you want WPA support)

Autofill has stopped working after installing latest update to OS X Mountail Lion (10.8). Latest of many problems with this OS - wish I had never upgraded to it. Can anyone help?

Hi Eric, it is Safari but I thunk I've solved it by dragging the autofill into the safari toolbar and clicking on it when I want to use the fearture. Nothing else worked. this OS is a crock as far as I am concerned.

WIFI stopped working after I woke the computer up, now says connected to the network but not the internet, all other coputers and devices connected still with no problems, have pinged IP address from router and got the message "4 packets sent none receive

Hi,
WIFI stopped working after I woke the computer up, now says connected to the network but not the internet, all other coputers and devices connected still with no problems, have pinged IP address from router and got the message "4 packets sent none received"... Help
I have tried network diagnostics which doesnt help... The only other ting is, when I woke the computer up it said tat another device was using my IP... My wife had plugged her phone into the computer to charge etc but even when i turn wifi off on the phone there is no change... also in settings on the phone the IP address is different...

The answer to your question is - neither!
Your PC should to configured to obtain an IP address automatically, and to obtain DNS server IP addresses automatically, from the Airport Express. This is the way Windows (and Macs for that matter) are configued by default, and that is the way most people have their computers set up. If you manually configured your PC's IP address to be the same as your wife's Mac, it certainly explains why your PC is not able to access the internet.

PS 6 beta stopped working - after installing my old tablet

PS 6 beta stopped working - after installing my old tablet
Just to let U know, everywhere else (GIMP,Paint etc) there is no problem,
also tablet is fully working and operational,
drivers are up to date,
PS 6 beta brign an error 01 .
Also say about contating support ...
How can I constact support when I Dont have a license or serial number etc..
since it ask me about it while trying to reach support.... pointless! mad!
? What now? should I trash my favorite tablet and buy some junk just because of this BUG?
or will it be solved somehow?
I do believe that nobody will even care about one human and none of programmers will update
database of this program for older tablets,,, but JSUT TO LET U KNOW - its not working.
and free software as GIMP is working just perfectly, and adobe **** is not even opening a program..

oh well, as I mentioned my tablet is old, ( but i thought that new version of photoshop will contain also some parts from old ones for compability, as U said its not working like that o.o ) is is Pentagram Duo Pen (USB)
   I uninstalled tablet drivers and adobe software and reinstalled again without tablet, now it's working so it was a driver that messed up all..
Oh, the error code nr was : 1
i also was suprised but this is what I got from photoshop in error message the rest of it was about contacting adobe.com/support ..blahblahblah
I am still not fully understanding how its possible that so well paid software is not compatble with my super old tablet while even stupid paint is..
I am sure it is complicated, however as U see I am not able to anything else but operate with mouse.. or switch to linux and practice in gimp..
if U wonna to take a look at the file of that driver i will post it here :
(more files on http://download.pentagram.eu/en/drivers/graphic_tablets/duopen_usb/DuoPen_USB_Win2K_XP.zip)

Has anyone had the "equals" key in the numeric pad stop working since installing the Boot Camp 3.3 update

Has anyone had the "equals" key in the numeric pad stop working since installing the Boot Camp 3.3 update?

I have been an ardent user of aperture for years now and got used to the great workflow. Ever since version 1 I have been enjoying working with aperture. It is the workflow that kept me from changing.
I got a new MacPro 12 GB ram, 4TB HDD my library mostly indexed files sits on a raided 2TB for maximum of comfort. I did this in an effort to keep me from writing the posts I writing lately. I do not have the time rally to do this but reality is something different.
Today I am working on a job I need to finish quickly and in aperture workflow manner. So I switched to full screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen mode and after pressing 'H' for the HUD my screen started flickering. please look at the video I posted in my flickr account: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mawas/4719742585/
Now this is the second time this happened in a short time after I got a new mac and upgraded to 10.6.4! After the screen had jammed up : http://gallery.me.com/masuwa/100103 I needed to hard boot my mac I am getting nervous!

HP Power Advisor has stopped working after installing latest updates

I have been using HP Power Advisor successfully on my Lenovo X230 running Windows 7. After installing the latest Power Advisor updates it no longer works. I can select a voltage from the dropdown on the Input Voltage screen but nothing happens when I click on the Go button, as if it is disabled. I've tried re-installing the download package which works fine but it stops working again as soon as I install the latest updates. Any ideas how to solve this?

Well on the website for HP power Advisor, it specifically says,
"Accurately estimate power consumption of your HP server and storage products"
There could be many different things interrupting your use of the program, but I'm going to say that maybe your largest problem with using the HP software designed for HP machines is your Lenovo.
Sorry,
Good Luck!
Did I help you? Please give me a Thumbs up to help let others know!

Upgraded to Windows 10: Wifi Stops Working after about 20 minutes operation

Upgraded to windows 10. Everything was working fine. Then WIFI stops working. I reboot and again, things are fine then as the computer goes to sleep, WiFi stops working and won't reconnect unless I reboot. All other computers in the house using either Windows 7 or 8.1 are connecting just fine. Need some help or I'll roll back to 8.1. This is frustrating to say the least.

I have a HP pavilion X2 (10-j000na) which I have upgraded to Windows 10 and I have the same issue. Every so often the wifi signal is lost. When I go to the device manager it says there is an error with the driver for the Broadcom 802.11 abgn Wireless SDIO adapter. The only way to resolve this issue at the moment is to uninstall the driver and then re-installing it using the latest Windows 8 driver (sp68594.exe) in compatability mode for Windows 8.
But even then it is only a matter of time before the driver corrupts again and needs re-installing. We need an updated driver for Windows 10 and fast!

My wifi stopped working after a update last year and I have updated since, can this be fixe

MMy wi fi stopped working after a update early last year and I have just made do since then by using i pad at home. I was going to upgrade my phone but need to clarify if it was the upgrade that broke my wifi and can it be fixed? I have heaed of Apple replacing phones affected by this problem. Please help

Try the suggestions here to see if they resolve your problem:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
If those solutions don't work your iPhone 4s has developed a hardware problem. The permanent solution is to get it replaced. I have not heard of Apple replacing long out of warranty iPhones.
You can search the internet for heating and freezing solutions that might work (at least for a while).

Wifi stopped working after upgrade, Asus N13

Hi,
A couple of days ago my wireless stopped working after I ran a full upgrade. I have tried to identify the problem to no avail. I attempted to use the Ralink drivers for my chipset rt3072 but those worked very poorly compared to the rt2800usb driver in the kernel and it kept freezing my system.

I am using wicd but I have also tried with NetworkManager (I have made sure to systemctl disable the one not under test).
I tried using wireshark in monitor mode on another computer to capture the exchange for authentication. I can see my computer request authentication and I can see the router reply back. The reply is an authentication successful message, but then my computer immediately tries to authenticate again.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I have the same device and a similar issue.
Connection works but pinging the router shows extremely high ping (over 3000ms) and high packet loss, especially when the network is under load.
The connection drop randomly and wont reconnect until I manualy unplug and replug the usb device.
Downgrading the kernel fixed the problem.
Which kernel version did you downgrade to?
I also have the same device at home and I might face the same problem when I go back home next month.

Why did my vm/windows wifi stop working after updating to OS X v 10.9 Maverick?

Hi All!
Updated to OS X 10.9 and now my VM Windows 7 wifi stopped working. The WIndows doesnt even see the macine has wifi capability. Was working fine yesterday. Help!

Another user reported the same problem with VMware Fusion. Update it to the most recent version and update the VMware Tools in your virtual machine, or Parallels Tools or Guest Additions if you are using Parallels or VirtualBox
