Wireless Issues after 10.4.7 update

Hi all,
My wireless connection was solid since the day I bought my Macbook Pro. I had profiles connecting to my wireless router at home and my work wireless points at work. When I recently updated my system to 10.4.7, I have had some issues with my wireless.
Sometimes when I start my mac up, login, etc, the wireless icon in the system tray will flicker, and I have no connection to my wireless. If I disable and enable the Airport device, sometimes it just starts working. Sometimes I have to reboot the system to make it work. If the icon does not flicker, it works fine, when it gets into that state where it doesn't work, the icon flickers.
Anyone else having these issues?
Macbook Pro 15" 1.83GHz Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1Gb RAM

I also had some dropped connections over my wireless
router at home (Linksys router) after the 10.4.7
install. I have a MBP 15" W8617xxxx. Connection was
good for a few minutes at a time. Then I had to
restart AirPort.
For me, I had installed some other apps about the
same time as 10.4.7, so I uninstalled them, repaired
permissions, installed the Combo 10.4.7 and now
everything seems okay.
I don't know if it was the new apps, or the Combo
install, or repair permissions, or ?
Hope that helps. Good luck.
=================
SDDave,
i have been reading a lot of postings regarding the issues with wireless after the 10.4.7 update.
i also have a linksys wireless router and have identical problems with you. i am sure many of us do as well.
you said you managed to install the 10.4.7 combo and everything seems to work properly now? if so, would you be kind enough to give me detail steps on how to install the 10.4.7 combo file
1. do we get the combo 10.4.7 from the apple site?
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosxupdate1047comboppc.html
2. what steps do we need to install this file?
please please help us out to provide detail steps to do this. i know some of us here are not as comfortable doing it without some help.
i would appreciate if anyone else would help out beside sddave.
thank you in advance. i can't wait to install this combo update to resolve this connection issue.

Iphone 5 issues after IOS 8.2 update: my husband's phone and my phone get the same phone calls ONLY when we are home. Any suggestions on where to look to fix this?

Iphone 5 issues after IOS 8.2 update: all the iphones in the house receive the same phone calls ONLY while we are at home. Any ideas on how to fix this?

That is a new "feature" described in Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
You can turn it off by going to Settings > FaceTime and changing "iPhone Cellular Calls" to off

Is there any fix for the bluetooth connectivity issue after most recent OS update?

Seems to be a common problem particularly with bluetooth headseat connectivity. Any ideas?

There is no bluetooth connectivity issue after the recent OS update. There may be a problem with your phone, which may or may not be related to the update. A "common problem" looks like this in the forums:
I haven't seen any threads on BlueTooth with over 1.4 million views and over 12,000 replies, or even any vaguely close. For any problem that someone has there is bound to be someone else amoung 150 million users who have it. That doesn't make it a "common problem."
If you tell us what the problem is specifically and what you have done so far to try to resolve it someone can probably help you.

Problems with Wireless connection AFTER 10.4.2 update

I have read several topics on wireless problems AFTER the 10.4.2 update and wondering if anyone (or Apple) has found a fix to this problem. I cant get to my network or the internet via airport. I have tried zapping the pram, resetting the permissions, rebooting, checking for more update on a wired connection, reinstalling both 10.4.2 combo and 4.2 update and still nothing. This happened RIGHT after the reboot upon completion of the update. Im stuck and wondering if anyone has a solution or has any one SUCCESSFULLY contacted Apple and have they got a solution to fix the problem??

I'm having the same problems with accessing my airport base station (first generation snow at 4.0.9) after loading the airport admin 4.2 patch. I loaded the 4.2 patch on my g5 and G4 running 10.3.9. The response/across of the wifi connection is very poor. I can't use chicken of the VNC to manage the G4 from the G5 anymore at all due to the slow response and accessing the internet via either the G4 or the G5 is like a dial up connection. The broadband speed test results are 192mb to 274mb up and similar down.
I have a 12"powerbook (DVI 1gig version) with 10.3.9 that I have not loaded the 4.2 patch on and I am not having any issues with wifi access to the base station or the internet. broadband logs in right at 2.8mb via DSL. I also have a Dell laptop that I access the internet through the airport base station and I have no issues with speed and the same 2.8mb broadband speed test results.
Conclusion something in the airport 4.2 patch has changed the airport cards ability to see the base station.
With all that said, my question is - How do I back out of the 4.2 airport admin patch provided by apple or how do I resolve the slow response times between the airport cards in the G4 and G5 and the base station?
Any help?

Any plans to fix wireless networking after the 40S51U Firmware Update 2.2.5 broke it?

After the 40S51U Firmware Update 2.2.5 wireless passwords must be re-entered every time the device is powered on. It's been almost 4 months since the untested patch was released – is a fix coming?

You're the only person I can remember having that issue. You should call customer support.

IPad2 Issues after iOS 8.1 update

iPad2 64g wifi + cellular -   very slow and non-responsive since iOS 8.1 update. nonstandard Apps seem to be working fine.. it’s the standard item like photos and safari that don't respond.
photos - (which I use daily to show clients examples) will freeze and kick me out back to the home page when trying to do anything from open a photo for viewing to trying to delete a photo. Edit.. forget it.   better off using an alternate app to edit a photo as it locks up and crashes every time.   I really need to be able to view the photos on my iPad2
safari -   good luck using any hyper link…. It doesn’t respond.   Even at Apple’s website.   Sometimes it crashes but most of the time it just ignores me like I haven’t touched the screen
Overall - the touch screen is glitchy since the iOS 8.1 update. It was slow after the iOS 8.0 update but has become almost unusable after the 8.1 update.
I cannot afford to purchase a new iPad. And I really need to find a way to make this one work.
I did read about how to restore to an older iOS version.   The only problems are all of my laptop is Windows based and the instructions assumed you had a Mac.   I did a backup to iTunes prior to the 8.0 update but I have also done backups since.   So I am not sure I have a “clean” iOS 7 backup.
Any ideas would be appreciated   Thank you in advance for your help

For the touch issues in Safari, does scrolling or zooming the page before you try to tap a link make it work again? I've read a few posts that this may be a workaround for that issue.

Display Issue after 10.9.2 update

After updating my Macbook Pro with Retina to 10.9.2 -- My display flickers for a second after sleep and or blank screen and then goes back to normal. Has anyone else been having display issues after updating?

Yes similar problem here: I have a MacBook Pro, 15 inch Retina, Mid 2012, and when I connect a secondary display via HDMI (and also HDMI-to-Thunderbolt) then the external monitor becomes the main display.
I have not figured out on how to switch back to former settings. My guess: it's a bug. A quick search confirms that many others have secondary display issues since 10.9.2
(Steve would have fired those lazy punks, who failed to do sincere testing before release …)

How i get by with the sleep, pause issue after 1.0.2 update

ok. i'm sure you guys are aware of the ipod sleeping/pausing issue after updating your ipod to 1.0.2. my ipod will pause whenever it is in the jensen dock station and the green battery indicator shows up. whenever i use the dock or remote to unpause the song, a few seconds later, it pauses again. so instead of using the dock or remote to play, unpause, whatever, i connect the ipod to the dock and use the wheel to navigate and 'only' use the play/pause button on the ipod itself to kick off the playing of music. if i go back to the remote, the ipod pauses. if i only use the menu and play/pause button on the wheel, my songs do not pause. it sure was nice using the remote before 1.0.2. i mean, it did come with the dock for my remoting pleasure but alas, i shall wait on the next update. hope this helps someone.

I will have to try that... I took my iPod to work today and plugged it into my JBL docking station and it was skipping. I did notice it seemed to go to sleep more often when I used the remote... There's a whole other forum on this maybe you could check out too. But it's really annoying and I hope Apple comes out with a fix soon! I will definitely try to use the iPod wheel tomorrow and not the remote.

Massive battery drain issues after the latest software update - phone hot

After the latest software update (to the NI2 version) I have massive battery drain issues. The phone also stays hot. Even when I don't actively use the phone it seems to stay "awake" according to the stats. When I disable all data (Wifi and/or 3G/4G) it's perfectly fine. Does anyone else experience the same issues or has recommendations?

Is the device trying to sync all your photos with the cloud?
This is what I would do.
Back up your photos and music onto a personal computer. Copy down important settings like for your email, and contacts you can't risk losing.. even icon placement of important apps. Diagram it out.
Then perform a Factory reset on the device. Alternatively you might find the procedure for wiping the low level cache of the device posted in other posts on the site. That might fix the problem and avoid you losing settings and content on your device.
Extremely bizarre behavior post updates are usually associated with low level cache issues that cause the OS to behave poorly. Some people have reported their phones running hot and that could mean the radio is on constantly attempting to back stuff up to the cloud our restore stuff.
Good luck.

Satellite 100-192: Issues after the latest MS update...

Satellite 100-192.
After the latest MS update I first had the problem with the Realtek sound card driver. I solved it by applying the patch MS provided.
Now the problem is that the disc cleanup utility does not launch. Anybody any idea?

I just found out that my disc cleanup utility would not work because of a free program called Photo Toolkit. Although it is a nice little program to quickly edit photos, apparently it causes such problems when it is loaded.

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.

but if I try to run 'iwlist eth0 scan' it states:

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,

Wireless Connection after 10.4.8 Update

I want to try and update again to 10.4.8. Has the wireless connection issue been resolved yet? The problem I was having before was when my mac went into sleep mode or I would reboot the wireless connection would be dropped. I tried just about everything I found on this board, but nothing worked. I had to archive and restore my mac back to 10.4.4. Is it safe to update, if not is there a fix for after I update?
Any help would be great!.

If I had an IntelMac I'd wait, or certainly not go past 10.4.7, and at that I'd surely use the bigger Combo Updates, not any of the Deltas.
Yet if I did try 10.4.8... it'd be installed on a seperate FW drive for testing... without messing with the working install.
All that being said... I still am at 10.3.9 or less on all my important work machines... only have Tiger on 2 machines to help sort out/test all the 10.4 problems!

WEP encryption failure on D-Link 614+ wireless router after 1.1.1 update

My iPhone was connecting to the Internet via WiFi with a D-Link 614+ wireless router, and with 128-bit WEP encryption on, before I updated the iPhone to 1.1.1. Since that update, connectivity through the D-Link router requires that WEP be disabled. All other features seem to be compatible, including a static IP address and a static DNS address. No amount of network resetting and WiFi network forgetting helps. Apple Technical Support said that 128-bit WEP has been found mostly compatible, but it tends to be incompatible when the router's firmware has not been recently updated. This router's latest firmware is from 2005 (though the manufacturer dates it 2006), and the manufacturer has issued an end-of-life notice on it. My conclusion is that the router is obsolete if an iPhone is to be used with it. I have ordered an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station, so if anything goes wrong there's no doubt about which company is responsible. Meanwhile, I have turned off router encryption and turned on MAC filtering so only our own devices can use the router. Has anybody found that WEP encryption on this router actually works on the iPhone post-1.1.1?

Shortly after posting, it occurred to me to search for "614". I found some other people's solutions for this router that involved disabling 4x mode and enabling the long preamble in the D-LINK UI (Advanced > Performance):
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3897747?
Doing this caused my packet loss issue to go away, but now my connection is extremely sluggish and browsing is even slower than before.
I'll keep tweaking settings to see if I can improve things.

Even more issues after installing 3.1 update. What to do.

HI there,
It would seem that since I have installed 3.1 my iPhone 3Gs 32GB white is acting very strange. Heres my story...
I have noticed the following behavior since the install. Sound randomly not working. Home button randomly not working.
Have done a Restore
Have removed all my applications thinking maybe an app was not compatible with the 3.1 update and therefore was causing the problems.
... still noticed home button issue even after removing all apps.
... sound issue happened once but seems OK now.
I have read other postings about these two issues. It would seem others are experiencing the same problems. However, I found no fix for it. That is why I thought it might be an app interfering.
As I said it still happens at random times but lately it has been working fine so I am wondering if it was an app I had installed.
Just to add some history, this is my 2nd iphone as I had a problem with my 1st one. The one I am currently using was sent to me by my Wireless provider and it was refurbished. So I am wondering if the randomness of the home button was the reason this iphone was returned in the first place. And the problem is reoccurring. Or is it just consequence that it is happening now after I installed the 3.1 update.
I have made an appointment at my local Apple store(genius bar) for them to have a look at it, however my luck is when I go the phone will be working fine and they will not do anything. The phone is not three months old so I fall within the 90 days warranty and I just purchased the AppleCare for iPhone as backup. I am hoping I will get a new iPhone to replace this one because it was refurbished.
So my question is
Do you think it was an application that was causing the issue or could it be a hardware problem with the button? Is it known fact that some iPhone apps are not 3.1 compatible and can cause issues?
Thanks and I look forward to your replies.

Possible but the Apple store visit is the right way to go.
