Wireless improved after safari update

Viewing web pages in the newest safari is a lot less sluggish (read: faster). The signal stays fixed at 5 bars. I haven't seen this stable wifi network behaviour in a long time. Could it be that wireless network troubles were partly caused by safari 3?

I found some fixes to this problem if anyone is interested:

Any body suffering leggsness while opening the appstore and game center from mnimaze center...... In ipad mini pls sort me out and tell me ......it will be improve after the update to ios 7.0.3

There have been issues with the app store and with game center. And they all seem to be on Apple's end. I'd wait for the next update and see if that helps.

Loud beep after restart after Safari update

hi all everything is fine. But there was a loud beep when MCP had to restart after Safari update today. Should i be concerned? Like said everything is working fine. And this was the first time i heard such a beep. Its always been the regular chime instead.

Roger: That article applies only to iMacs.
True but I'm willing to bet the same (at least for the tone heard) applies to the MBP too. Let me see if I can find an advice letter that states that. In the link I suggested earlier there is a link that leads to:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1557
That advice letter does refer to MBP's so it's feasible the same advice is true for MBP's. At least that's my logic.

After Safari Update, MS Word won't save

Has anyone else gotten the latest Safari update download, and found that MS has lost its ability to save newly created docs? The Safari update was what I did immediately before Word went funny. A reinstall of Word (Office Mac 2004) didn't help. Using latest OS 10.3.9 on a G5 dual 1.8GHz Power PC.

It seems now that the integrity of your OS is fine and that the problem is isolated to Office.
Is it possible that you may have installed an additional third-party component/plug-in to add functionality to Office? If so it might be an idea to locate and trash that. You might also want to trash the preferences at user/[insert user name]/library/preferences. Trashing preferences is often the first thing to do when an application starts crashing.
If the problem still persists then uninstalling and reinstalling might help. Hopefully the install disk has an uninstall option (I'm on the earlier version X so can't check). If you do this, then it would be a good idea to run disk repair/repair permissions first before reinstalling, and run repair permissions again after the install (this is good practice for any OS upgrade and major software installs).
I don't know about the MS crash reporter (none such thing is version X), but it always seems to me that these are to assist software developers to identify problems for future patches/upgrades and not to solve your particular problem(!). In the case of Apple, all one gets is a little "thanks for sending to Apple" balloon. You might want to try the support pages at: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/support.aspx
It's quite usual for applications to show up at HD and user level, so there's nothing wrong there.
As to the Safari crash, do you have any components such as Pith Helmet, Acid Search, Sogudi? These are usually located in SIMBL plug-ins folders and can sometimes cause crashes (I'm troubleshooting just such an issue with Pith Helmet right now).
I do hope you get up and running. The weather having improved here in London, I'm off to watch some cricket!

Wireless issues after kernel update

Hi,
after I updated my kernel yesterday, I've been having some issues with my wireless. I'm on a dell inspiron 1545, using kde and I use the broadcom-wl driver form the AUR.
Anyways. After I did a system update yesterday, it would refuse to load the wl module. So I recompiled the driver and that was fine. But still my laptop refuses to use its wireless card. At first I just couldn't connect to any wireless, now the networkmanager just claims that my WLAN Interface is unavailable.
the output of iwconfig:
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"" Nickname:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Bit Rate:54 Mb/s Tx-Power:off

Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
eth1 no wireless extensions.
but if I try to run 'iwlist eth0 scan' it states:
eth0 Failed to read scan data : Invalid argument
I'm not that experienced with wireless, so I did what https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_BCM43XX says and some other pages I found on google. 'iwconfig eth0 up' doesn't have any influence.
As I said, before the upgrade it worked fine and I also had configured it as it is described in the link above.
thanks for any inputs,
tobi

G4 powerbook wont boot up after safari update

Hi,
my G4 powerbook wont boot up after a safari update lastnight. Everything was fine untill this morning when i booted it up and it gets stuck on the grey screen with a white apple.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

See my reply to your other post in this forum.

Unable to connect to wireless network after software update

on updating the software on my Ipad 3 I am unable to connect to my office wireless network

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Mac - Unable to install Adobe Flash Player after Safari update

After the latest Safari update (version 8.0.2) for Mac, I received a message that Flash Player was out of date. I downloaded the latest Flash DMG file and when updating it stalls at 32%. Running the latest update for Yosemite.
I've uninstalled all of Flash player and all files and folders related to Adobe Flash from the computer. I've turned off my anti-virus and firewall. It continues to stall at 32%. I've re-downloaded the flash update and continue to have the problem.
Any suggestions?
Mike

Wireless fails after pacman update

I had my wireless functional but after the latest set of updates it somehow broke.
It's a Broadcom wireless that uses the b43 driver.
I wrote myself a little cheater list when I first set up the wireless. The commands appear okay but when I attempt to get to the net I get a network unreachable error when I attempt to ping anything.
sudo ip link set wlan0 up
sudo iwlist wlan0 scan | grep ESSID
I see the available wireless. 2WIRE824 is my router.
ESSID:"2WIRE824"
ESSID:"Enforcer24GHz"
ESSID:"2WIRE409"
ESSID:"2WIRE907"
ESSID:"BAMFs"
I submit my key and attempt to connect to my router
sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "2WIRE824" key **mykey**
sudo dhcpcd wlan0
returns --> dhcpcd[797]: sending commands to master dhcpcd process
now when I try to ping anything I get network unreachable.
What has changed (or what am I missing) that broke the wireless?
I have all my wireless profiles that haven't changed and they are still listed in /etc/rc.conf
I've even tried
sudo iwconfig wlan0 channel auto
despite my cheatsheet stating to use that only if the dhcpcd times out.

I had asked about systemd because I have noticed it sometimes starts things that have been installed and are lying around dormant if they were not in the DAEMONS array. I have been bitten...
So, you said...

I submit my key and attempt to connect to my router
sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "2WIRE824" key **mykey**
sudo dhcpcd wlan0
I would like to see the output of a second iwconfig without any switches or parameters performed a few seconds after that first one, just as you wrote it. I want to establish if you are actually associating with the AP. You should see the MAC of the AP in that output.
Then, you said
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000
link/ether 00:ff:ff:ff:8b:78 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 192.168.1.82/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global eth0
inet6 fe80::fff:ffff:fe1e:8b78/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
3: wlan0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN qlen 1000
link/ether 00:14:a5:0d:64:e5 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
Okay, the wlan has no address, as expected. The carrier, however should be up.
[arch-nicky@arch-nicky ~]$ ip link set wlan0 up
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted
But you have to run that as root
So, put the interface up as root.
Try to associate with sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "2WIRE824" key **mykey**
Pause. Run iwconfig
If it associates, then run dhcpcd wlan0 . Don't waste your time if it does not associate.
If you are still having trouble, look at the output of rfkill list
One last thought. Are you trying to connect to the same router as you are wired to? You should be able to associate, but you may have routing issues later.

Wireless problem after system update

After installing system updates to OS X 10.3, the system stopped connecting to my wireless network. I'm pretty sure the updates were the cause, because I downloaded and installed the updates over the wireless network. The problem is not in the network hardware, because I am posting this thread over the same network from and IBM Thinkpad (that still works on the network).
The iBook can see and connect to the network, but it does not recieve and IP address. Any assistance would be appreciated.

I found some fixes to this problem if anyone is interested:

Web dialoge boxes blacked out after safari update

After the last update to Safari 5.1.7 (7534.57.2) web dialoge boxes are blacked out in google Sketchup Ver. 8. The only reason (we) suspect it was Safari is a recent thread at Sketucation fourm in which many users of Sketchup that use Lion 10.7.4 seem to be the only ones effected by this maybe someone here can shed some light. There seems to be a workaroud in Sketchup by changing some css file but it's not working fo all dialoge boxes.

10.4.9....Are there wireless problems after this update?

I have one baffling problem.......I can't get a wireless connection since updating to 10.4.9. There are three laptops in the house, a macbook pro, a macbook and an ibook. Two days ago I updated all three to 10.4.9...boy do I wish I hadn't. Now I have a major headache with trying to get all three to connect to the actiontec wireless gateway which they used to flawlessly before the update. I have spoken to Actiontec and they /we have tested and rebooted, switched off and upgraded the firmware..they are stumped but just said change the router....mmm. Then I spoke to Apple UK and we tried and tried using DHCP manually, mac addressing and even no security but nothing. Strangely enough though we discovered that whichever laptop I used to reboot the router and then switched on airport it connected wirelessly so in other words the first that tried got connected then the other two couldn't. Ethernet connection no problems.
Anybody in the whole wide world got any ideas?. First time ever I have had a major problem with a mac.

I've had a similar problem with my iMac G5 and iBook G4.
Basically after a reboot they fail to join the network automatically. My SSID is not broadcast but this was never an issue prior to 10.4.9
This is a trivial inconvenience compared to the crashes when waking from sleep I've been experiencing. This is got really frustrating to the point where I'm using today to format and reinstall the OS, something I used to do regularly with XP but is a first for me with OS X.
I'm very dissapointed with Apple. 10.3.9 was rock solid for me meaning that I didn't upgrade to Tiger till 10.4.3 was out. I'm wondering if Apple are trying to prevent a repeat with Leopard by making 10.4.9 as flaky as they can get away with.
I am tempted to only upgrade the new install to 10.4.8 but my phone (SE K800i) is not supported by iSync till 10.4.9

Can't access one website after safari update

After the Safari 5.1.4 update, I'm unable to access one particular site, the one that used to be my homepage. Trying to access it causes the browser and OS to freeze up for several minutes. Can't force quit or close. I'm able to access my other 'regular' sites. Thought?

Hi ...
Try emptying the cache and do a reset.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache. Quit then relaunch Safari. Go to Safari > Preferences - General and make sure the homepage url is correct.
If that didn't help, back to the menu bar, click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes, click Reset.
According to your profile you have Lion v10.7 installed.
Disabling the Lion resume feature can help with Safari...
Open System Preferences > General
Deselect: Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps
Restart your Mac.

ITUnes won't work after Safari update

after today's Safari / Security update iTunes just won't open
anyone else having the same problem? Any suggestions?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
