Yoga 13 does not automatically connect to Wifi at times

My yoga 13 does not automatically connect to WIFI at times thought it has been saved to automatically connect. It will connect after I click on the WIFI icon in the desktop and then it sees the WIFI network and automatically connects to it. Though it is not a big deal it is minor inconvenience that I have to click that icon at times when internet doesn't work. This shouldn't be the case for a laptop that retails over 1000 bucks. Any suggestions?

This happens to me too. I haven't found a solution yet either.

IPad (3rd generation) does not automatically connect to wi-fi.

iPad (3rd generation) does not automatically connect to wi-fi. It is fully updated to 5.1.1 but you have to manually connect after turning off and back on. I also have an iPad 2 with the same OS but it automatically connects. The wi-fi has no security.

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

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. 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.

Windows 8.1/IE 11 Does Not Automatically Connect to the Internet

Windows 8.1/IE 11 Does Not Automatically Connect to the Internet
I can't find the dial and redial options anywhere.
I' m connecting through PPPOE but only manual.
I know that in windows 7/8 a program like IE9 or IE10 could connect to the internet, but now it just says that I am not connected to the internet.
How to connect automacally to the internet and how to let IE to connect automatically to the internet, and why I don't have the options for dialing and redialing like in Windows 8?
Thank You

Hi,
Sorry for my dilatory reply, what does your mean that IE dialing to connect to internet? Did your system can connect to Internet? or just IE 11 couldn't connect to internet. you can
check your IE poxy setting in Connections of Internet options.
If you encountered any IE problem, you can try to reset IE for test to resolve this problem.
If you need further assistance on this particular issue or any other Windows related issue, let us know and we will be glad to assist you.

Wicd does not automatically connect to eth0

Wicd works fine using my wireless network. It does not automatically connect to eth0 when I plug in a cable, but I can connect to it by pressing connect manually.
I already have ethtool installed (do I need to run ethtool as a daemon???)

stabele wrote:I have two maybe naive question:
1)are you connected to wireless network before you plug in ethernet cable? If yes, than wicd does not automatically switch to wired network. Maybe you can get it done by custom scripts wicd support for each connection, but I never used this thing in wicd.
2) do you have disabled in rc.cong interfaces you want wicd to manage INTERFACES=(!eth0 !wlan0) ?
Thanks for your answers, 1) no I'm not connected to wireless, and 2) eth0 is disabled.
I found out it works fine if I connect eth0 manually and then I can remove and plugin the cable all I want and it automatically connects. This is because dhcpcd is already running for eth0 so maybe I should run dhcpcd eth0 in a boot script (although I think wicd should do this).

Does not automatically connect to wireless network anymore

Mac Book does not automatically connect to know networks any longer.

Hi sashton,
When troubleshooting Wi-Fi connectivity issues, I find the following resource has the most relevant information:
Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues in OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628
Furthermore, you may want to avoid giving your network a common name. While the following article (and excerpt) refer to iOS devices, the same applies for your Mac:
Avoid giving your wireless network a common name (SSID)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4450
If you were to give your wireless network a common name (SSID), users of your network who use iOS devices [sic] and are away from your network would run the risk of joining a different network with the same name. Having joined the unexpected network, they would be exposed to potential data theft.
Because of this security issue, Apple maintains a list of common or ambiguous SSIDs, including the default SSID for many commercially available access points, as well as the SSIDs "wireless" and "default". If your network's name is on the list, any iOS device [sic] that joins the network stores the access point's BSSID and associates it with the network's SSID. Subsequently, it will only auto-join the network if the access point's BSSID matches the information the device has stored. This avoids joining a different network with the same name.
Therefore, you may want to refer to the following article when configuring your Wi-Fi router:

Does not automatically connect to recently used WIFI networks

Recently purchased 13" Macbook Air, with Lion installed. All's well, except upon start-up or waking up from sleep mode, it does not automatically re-connect to the WIFI network it was just connected to. Instead, I'd have to manually find the network to select it. (Incidentally, some of my friends who also use Macbook Air and Macbook Pros have also experienced this periodically.)
Another strange thing, is that there is this one particular WIFI network at work, that I've successfully connected to before, upon return the next time, all of a sudden, the network isn't even visible anymore. My OS5 iPhone sees it fine, and never has a problem, but repeatedly this happens. Other people at work who also use Macbook Pro and Macbook Air also encounter the same problem. People who are using PCs don't have the same experience.
Is there a setting somewhere? I have "Remember networks this computer has joined" checked, and I see the particular network listed as ones I've joined.
Any light that can be shed on this would be greatly appreciated. It's very frustrating, especially Airs don't have a built-in ethernet port. I hate using the adapter, it steals one of my USB slots.
Thank you in advance!

System does not automatically reconnect to wifi network after sleep/restart

My iMac G4 (2GB RAM, 10.5.1, AirPort Extreme) does not automatically reconnect to my wife network after waking from sleep or restart. I just recently switched the iMac from a wired to wireless set-up though the machine has always had the AirPort card. In wired mode, it always automatically found the network.
Network preferences have the "Ask to join new networks" checkbox selected. Below the checkbox it reads "Known networks will be joined automatically."
My wireless router is Linksys WRT150N, security type is PSK and encryption method is AES key.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

I'm having the same problem, the only way i can connect to my wireless network is to restart the computer, and open safari immediately. Then once it goes to sleep or i shut the notebook, i have to restart it again to use the internet. It's driving me nuts, and nobody knows how to fix it. I've tried firefox (it didn't help) and my sisters macbook connects just fine to my network, so it has to be a network setting. I'm going to schedule an appointment with a mac store tomorrow. so I'll post again when they fix it for me. hopefully i will understand how they solve the problem so i can post it to you guys

My 5800 does not automatically connect to Bluetoot...

Hey Folks,
I have the following problem with my 5800 X-Press Music: I paired my Bluetooth Headset with my mobile and everything works fine. Then I accepted the question about automatic connection between headset and mobile. But when I turn the headset off and on, my mobile does not (re)connect to the headset. I did a lot of research and found a lot of topics where people says that this is a bug in the bluetooth firmware. I just upgraded my firmware to the newest version, but that did not solve it.
any hints and help would be appreciated, but answers from nokia officials would be the best for me!
Thank you in advance

It's more likely to be a bug in the bluetooth earpiece. I too have one and it does reconnect automatically when I switch it on, provided bluetooth is switched on on the phone, obviously.

Will not automatically connect to wifi

Will not automatically connect to wifi

Changing your routers security to WEP seems to fix this issue.
WEP is a less secure protocal then WPA or WPA2.
You will have to weigh the security concerns vs the convience for your individual situation(s).

My macbook air does not automatcially connect to wifi any longer when i turn on from sleep, how can i make it connect automatically again

My macbook air will no longer connect to my wifi automatically, I have changed the preferences to automatically selecr known networks but everytime i open the macbook air or after i restart the macbook, i will need to manually l select the wifi. How do I re-config to automatically connect to my wifi. Thanks

Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved. Make sure the box marked
Remember networks this computer has joined
is checked.
2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading
Symptom: After restarting or waking from sleep, my computer might not connect to the Internet
3. Reset the PRAM.
4. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
5. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
6. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
7. Repair permissions on the startup volume.
8. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
9. Reset the System Management Controller.
10. This step shouldn't be necessary, but has been advised by Apple Support in some cases, apparently as a workaround for a bug. Open the Energy Saver pane in System Preferences. If applicable, click the padlock icon in the lower left corner to unlock the settings. Enter your administrator login password when prompted.
Select the Power Adapter tab and uncheck the boxes marked
Wake for Wi-Fi network access
and
Enable Power Nap...
if present. Then, if the computer is a MacBook, select the Battery tab and uncheck
Enable Power Nap...
11. Reinstall OS X.

MacBook Air does not automatically connect to network

The MBA automatically connects to the network when the network broadcasts the SSID, however when I don't broadcast the SSID then I have to manually setup the network in order to connect to it. On a Windows PC running XP there is a checkbox that allows the computer to connect to networks that are not broadcasting the SSID. Is there any such thing for the MAC?

You can setup a network location on your mac and select a preferred network for the mac to join.
However there is no reason not to broadcast an SSID. It does not make you any more secure as wifi sniffing software can detect hidden networks just as easily as none hidden ones. It gives a false sense of security. The only wifi protection you should consider using is WPA or WPA2.
Is there any such thing for the MAC?
FYI a MAC is not a Mac
MAC=Media Access Control
Mac=Macintosh

After upgrading to iOS 8.2 on iPhone 6, Exchange Push email does not automatically update over wifi. Ideas?

After upgrading my iPhone 6 to iOS 8.2 this weekend, my Microsoft Exchange email accounts (I have two) is no longer being pushed automatically when connected to Wifi. This was working correctly before the update and continues to work correctly when on 4G, but not Wifi.
Troubleshooting steps taken:
* Tested on and off wifi - issue is only when on wifi not when on 4G
* Turned mail sync off and then back on again - did not make a difference
* Rebooted phone - did not make a difference
Other ideas?

I was able to track this down not to the email updates but the notifications. The 8.2 update turned off email notifications both when unlocked and locked. I was able to resolve by turning the notifications back on. Seems odd that an update would change notification settings.

Having issues with my iphone 5 on wi-fi- does not automatically pick up wifi and doesnt remember passwords

I just picked up my iphone 5 yesterday and I am having issues with wifi.
When I tried wifi for the first time I selected my home network and entered in the password for the network and found out the following issues:
1) if you turn off wifi or turn on airplane mode or off, and then turn on wifi again - the phone does not remember the network's password and I have to re-enter it evey time plus manually select it
2) when wifi is on, not automatically detected nor does it select my network on its own have to manually go in and select a network
Help! Do I need to call Apple? Anyone else getting this?

I just managed to figure out the problem here. What you have to do is manually add the network by selecting "Other..." and filling in the information instead of selecting the item from the list of networks.
