OS X :: Airport Keeps Turning Off On My MBP And Can't Turn It Back On?
Oct 31, 2010I have a Macbook Pro 17" 2.6 GHZ. Model A1261.
The Airport keeps turning off and I can't turn it back on only after a restart, then it will work for another few minutes and then the same problem happens again.
Once it turns off when I click on "turn Airport On" nothing happens.
Will buying a new airport card help for my problem? and if yes what exactly do I need to buy.
I already tried a few other things like resetting etc. but no luck.

Dec 18, 2010I've searched and found a couple solutions to force a Time Capsule to use an ethernet connection for data transfer. Those are 1) turn my Mac's Airport off or 2) turn off the Time Capsule's wireless network.My question is: since those solutions, has anyone found a better alternative to force a Time Capsule to use ethernet that doesn't involve turning off the Mac's Airport or changing its settings each time?My need for this is: I have a first gen Time Capsule, and despite outliving the statistics for a long time, it's finally starting to fail. It's not actually dead yet, though ? the wireless still works, but it's much, much slower than it used to be. The hard drive is fine. I've since switched our primary wireless network over to the Airport Express I was using for Airplay, and I'm having the Time Capsule "join" its new network.

Mar 19, 2009I want to have a torrentclient running 24/7 and still be capable of having my MacBook with me. Still I don't want my old PowerMac running all the time, using a lot of power. So I considered buying an external harddive with a built-in torrentclient. Like the AirLive WMU-6500FS [URL]. I wondered if I could, somehow, turn my Airport Extreme and my external harddrive into something similar. Maybe by installing some software on the disk?

Aug 20, 2009I have an early 2008 Macbook Pro 17", and after installing 10.5.8 I am experiencing the widely reported airport issue everyones banging on about! So much so that I've been relegated to trailing an ethernet cable all the way into my front room because it keeps cutting out so much.
The only difference is I am on mains power (with the lid closed) because I use a large external monitor.Anyway long story short, I noticed the Airport update on Apples website after searching:[URL]_MacBook_Prohowever when I try to install it I get this:I have the Macbook Pro 17" Early 2008 model the update lists and I have the problem but it won't install!

Oct 9, 2009So last month I kept on getting kicked off of my network. My router is about 15 feet away and my wifes Macbook is 100% fine. I would turn off the Airport and turn it on and nothing. Restarted my Mac and nothing, and just gave up. So I made an appointment at the Apple Store and guess what, it worked 100%. So I came home that day and no problems till now, a month later. I am having the same issues and not sure what to do. I have low signal, and again I am only 15-20 feet away. I am saving up for a Time Machine so I can start backing up my mac, so this way I can take it to Apple and if they need to repair it, I'll have my stuff backed up. I am temped to just buy a hard drive just to get this thing fixed.
I shut off my Macbook yesterday in the morning and started it up when I got home and it was fine for a while.
MacBook Pro :: AirPort Wireless Turned Off After Software Update
Oct 19, 2010This morning, Software Update came up and said there was an update for my 2008 MBP, this time something with the CPU or something. Upon restarting, gray screen, fan at high speed, do not interrupt it while doing so etc. This update apparently for older (2008) Macs to be able to use a new type of charger that has come out. Nothing I heard off before? When I did the update, it did come up with that gray screen as advertised, and the progress bar ran for just about one second, then it booted again.
Everything went normal, but upon start I noticed the Airport had wireless turned off. In fact, it says: "Airport: Off". I clicked On, but nothing happened. After reboot, I cannot manage to turn it on, not from the System Preferences screen either. I have now plugged in a network cable straight from the router, since the WiFi does not work, and with the cable attached, no problem. But I want my wireless internet/network back!
MacBook Pro :: No Longer Connects To Network After AirPort Utility Update?
Jan 6, 2011Software Update ran yesterday and I installed the AirPort Utility update (version 5.5.2), and now my MBP no longer connects to my home network when the SSID broadcast is disabled. When I enable the broadcast the network shows up in the list of available networks and I can connect to it, then I can disable it again and the MBP stays connected. But if it's disabled to begin with it won't connect.
I never had this problem before the update, and no other devices on the network are having any issues. Has anyone else had this problem yet, or know of a fix?

OS X V10.7 :: Airport DHCP Don't Update Lion DNS
May 12, 2012I own a MacMini Server in my home network with Lion Server installed. I configured the DNS Service with a primary zone, providing nameserver (MacMini) etc. Server Admin tool create also a reverse zone 0.0.0.10-in.addr.arpa (my IP Range is 10.0.0.I own also an Airport Extreme Base Station (4th Gen) acting as DSL Modem, DHCP and NAT and creating 2 Wireless networks (private and public network) and it's correctly set up for internet access... In AEBS settings the DNS Servers are 10.0.0.3 (MacMini) and 8.8.8.8...With these settings everyting works fine but all the devices (other Macs, windows PCs, etc.) cannot ping each other... The only machine they can ping is obviusly the MacMini because in the DNS settings i punt manually a machine (A) record...
My question is: is possible to setup Lion Server to dinamically update DNS records using AEBS DHCP entries and reservations ? If possibile i don't want to add all the record manually and I don't want use the AEBS only as an access point...

Sep 8, 2009I have a iMac using 10.5.8. and a laptop using 10.4. I don't print all the time (once or twice a month for invoicing) so I'm not sure when my printing failed. Had to be sometime after my Airport Extreme or OS updated in the last month. My printer is a Canon Pixma 780. I'm unable to print from either computer now. I've updated printfab, tried uninstalling, reinstalling printer, unplugged printer from my Airport Extreme, restarted computer and printer. I'm at a complete loss.

As of now, I am planning to boot from my 10.3 Install disk and try to restore the system, hopefully without losing any data.

The machine that the airport is connected to is a pre intel mac mini. I am sending this from my imac. I am able to see my neighbours networks on airport, but mine has disappeared, and I have three machines that usually link, but they can't see each other. I opened airport utility (don't know what it is for really, but am just desperate) to no avail.

Hardware :: Key Software Update For Time Capsule & AirPort Extreme?
Mar 6, 2009Late Thursday evening, Apple released firmware updates for the 2009 Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme that resolves issues on the new devices. A parallel update also adds Back to My Mac drive sharing support to the prior generation of the wireless base stations.
The updates for both the new and previous Time Capsule and AirPort Base Station (802.11n) are all designated as firmware 7.4.1. The newest revision that had been available to previous models was 7.3.2, and the new 2009 models shipped with 7.4
The updates can be applied using AirPort Utility, typically located in the Applications/Utilities directory on systems running Mac OS X, but only after downloading the AirPort Utility 5.4.1 released this past Tuesday.
What's new in 7.4.1
A support article on Apple's site details the changes delivered by the firmware 7.4.1 update:
For AirPort Extreme (Early 2009) and Time Capsule (Early 2009) that ship with firmware 7.4, the firmware 7.4.1 update:
Resolves an issue in which a client computer may be disconnected when waking from sleepAddresses an issue in which redirecting SMTP port services may disable IP-layer networkingImproves the reliability of Back to My Mac-based disk sharingIncludes recent AirPort security updates
For AirPort Extreme with 802.11n (Fast Ethernet), AirPort Extreme with 802.11n (Gigabit Ethernet), AirPort Express with 802.11n, and original Time Capsule models, the firmware 7.4.1 update:
Enables remote administration and remote access to compatible USB connected drives via Back to My Mac (except on AirPort Express)Improves reliability when backing up to a Time Capsule via Time MachineIncludes recent AirPort security updates
Once applied, the update adds a MobileMe tap in the Advanced section of the AirPort's configuration (pictured below). After entering an account and password, the base station will need to be restarted.
Also included in the update are a trio of security updates outlined here, mostly pertaining to enhancements to the base station's IPv6 stack.
As was noted by AppleInsider in a previous article, the 7.4.1 firmware update adds the ability to access drives attached to 802.11n AirPort Extremes and Time Capsules over MobileMe, but does not deliver the guest networking and simultanious dual-band features of the just-released models because those features require hardware support.

Jan 25, 2009I am having an infuriating issue with my Airport Extreme, since updating the firmware it will not let me get to the web site for my gaming group, The Valiant Crusaders. The site is perfectly accessible nationwide and if I remove my AeBS and have my machines directly connect to my cable modem, they can get to that site just fine. It's as if my base station has decided to cut off that website and nothing I do will get around that. I even went and did a hard reset on the base station and renamed it etc but it still will not let me get to this site. I can get to every other site I care about with no issues. As far as I know the firewall in the hardware shouldn't be able to be set to do that.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMacBook Pro :: Fan Turning On And Off?
Sep 10, 2010I have an i7 MBP and this morning I discovered that its fan is turning on and off at about 2 second intervals. It only occurs when the lid is closed and (seemingly) when the battery is at full charge (i.e., the mag safe is green). As soon as I open the lid the fan comes on and stays on for 30 seconds or so then shuts off as if the system has cooled. Any ideas what this is about?

Jan 31, 2010i'm having a small issue with my computer... Its not turning on
1) If i just press on the power button i just hear the optical drive shifting and then nothing.
2) If i hold down on the power button, the optical drive starts up, the hard drive starts up, the sleep light turns on.. glows a little then faints and nothing.
The screen never turns on in either case and i never hear the start up sound.I had this problem twice already and solved it by reseting the Pram and by trying to turn it on and off a few times ( eventually it just turned on.. ) . But this time i guess that just won't do.
