I am having massive amounts of trouble connecting to my Wi-Fi router, currently running 10.7.4 and just done a totally fresh install (no time machine restore) I've seen people having this problem a lot but those posts were from last year (around 10.7.2) I've tried creating a new location and renewing the DHCP lease, connecting over ethernet works fine what on earth is going on here!?

I have a MacBook Pro Yosemite 10.10.1 (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014). Today my mbp won't connect to any other wifi except one. When I tried to connect other wifi it gives me "connection timeout" all the time. I tried to restart/reset my router, used new location, create new wifi connection but all of them does not work.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
I have a macbook 2.4.
I used to connect wirelessly through a router. I can't connect anymore with my macbook, I have a message "connection timeout" when I choose appropriate network and type the code (I tried both WPA and WEP). The thing is I can connect without any issue onto the same network using a pc.
I have also a partition with Windows vista on my macbook but still I can't go online.
I installed two systems in my Mac mini(2011 mid). Recently it can not be connected to D-Link router recently in Mac OSX but it can be connected under Win 7.
when I try to connect to wifi. it always show "connection timeout" "can not join"

Hey everybody , I just bought a 15" MBP yesterday , unboxed it , turned on.. everything is fine , surfing the net... , and then installed SL , the internet start having some problems , like losing connection...etc , after that i couldn't connect , "connection timeout" I thought it was from the SL , so I deleted it and installed Leopard , but still the same problem , also if I try to connect from the iPhone or the iPod touch through wifi , it says unable to connect...

Im trying to connect to my Linksys router downstairs which is password protected. The airport sees the wireless network but when I try and connect and insert the password i get a 'connection timeout' message.
I tried to use the assistant also but when it come to inserting the password its says the password is incorrect even though it definitly is correct..
Im relatively new to Mac so please excuse the lack of knowledge.
So, this afternoon everything was fine until a few hours ago when the internet connection inexplicably started giving problems. Before that, I was just browsing on the web. I never messed with any network configurations.
I own an iMac 27" (Mac OS X version: 10.6.3) that keeps asking for a WEP password. I write it down but the only thing I get is a "Connection timeout" message.
I'm using a SMC router (ADSL 2 Barricade G) by the way. I understand WEP isn't the best choice, but the tecnhician said it was the only way to make all three computers have internet access. With WPA, the two Windows laptops had problems conecting. I changed the client to "No WEP/ No WAP" and every computer can connect to the internet. However, this isn't the desired solution for obvious reasons.
On the Mac, I removed the old network settings. I tried the $ (and 0x) trick but it didn't work. I also removed the old network passewords from the Keychain. I know the WEP password is right, because I used it on both Windows machines when I changed the client type back to WEP Only.
Since the SMC router doesn't display the WEP password, I'll download some password recovery software to find it out. I doubt this will work, but I'm running out of options. I'm not a tech guy.
I've had the same internet connection for 5 years. Same wifi. Same password.
My previous mbp / os had no problems connecting and *staying* connected.
Now, with my 8-month-old MBP / OS10.8.5, I regularly get bounced off wifi and when I try to reconnect, I see my wifi in the networks list, but I get "a connection timeout occurred" fail.
Incidentally, my iPhones (4 and 5) over five years have *never* encountered this issue. They are on the exact same wifi / password / network as my MBP.

I recently switched cable providers to Time Warner. They set up a Ubee cable modem and all devices (IPhone, IPad, AppleTV, etc) are all connecting to the wireless network except my IMac. I tried renewing my DHCP lease, updating to OS X Maverick but every time I try and connect I get an error message that says "Connection Time Out".

What seems to be on some kind of time schedule, my network connection times out. The message "a connection timeout occured" is displayed, rendering my attempts at re-connection useless. After hours of troubleshooting(my router included) and checking out other Mac forums, I have no solutions but to power cycle my router. This pretty much makes my MB useless unless using a wired internet connection outside of my home network. I've done tons of research online and have encountered hundreds of people with the same problem. My machine is a late 2011 Macbook Pro.

When trying to connect to my airport xtreme (time capsule) using my MacBook Pro and it's unable to connect because of a "connection timeout." What I've tried to do:
-I tried all the security settings for the wireless settings (WEP/WPA and no security) and it still doesn't connect.
-relocated the time capsule to a remote location where it is away from any other electronic equipment (phones, tv, DSL, etc.)
-Read posts in different forums explaining different steps. One of those steps being to shut down the cpu, unplug the time capsule, and unplugged the modem in that order. Waited 5 minutes then plugged in the modem, time capsule, turn on the computer and go through the process. That also didn't work.
-Tried reseting the time capsule and going from scratch with no luck as well.
It's not that it doesn't work at all, because once every blue moon it would connect but it doesn't last long at all.
Ive massive trouble with connecting my wireless network via Airport. Ive a MacBook (2008) with Lion. My connection was working till last week. Ivnt changed any setting or something..I was working like every day. From one secound to another the connection to my network was broken. When I try to connect to my network my Mac gives a trouble message: "timeout". I allready checked my router config (192.168.0.1 as admin) and everything is fine. No MAC Filter! Everything is set like its written in the apple manual. I allready restarted my router. Plugged it completly off. Not working. I was so desperated that I installed my system (Lion) new 2 days ago. The connection problem is still there! I dont now where the problem is! I can connect with my MacBook to any other wireless network and via ethernet. The router is working fine because I can connect with my other laptop to it (by the way with 2 iphone as well). Do anyone no this problem? I dont know what to do now.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm on a boat in Fiji, using a Vodafone wireless dongle, and keep losing my connection. My vodafone software and my apple network software show I'm still connected, but suddenly I can't get into another page, or if I'm downloading a software update, I get a message that I have a timeout error. I then disconnect my connection and re-connect and then things start happening again. However, I have not been able to stay active long enough to download my apple software updates which is really frustrating. It seems to happen more often when I'm downloading something sizeable, like a video or software update, but happens other times as well. I'm a mac novice, (bought this, my first mac about 10 months ago) and not terribly computer savvy to begin with. Looking through this forum, I'm confused by much of what I read, but I'm beginning to think this problem may be beyond my capacity to solve.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have enabled the prompt for a password when waking from screensaver and this works fine as long as I respond to the password prompt quickly. However, if I don't respond fairly quickly then the password prompt disappears leaving a black screen with just the mouse pointer visible. No matter what I type I can't bring the password prompt back up and therefore can't gain access. The only way I can do this is to press the power button and wait for 5 minutes or so before bringing it back out of sleep and typing my password more quickly.

Using iCloud through Mail on OSX 10.7.4, I cannot send any emails.I receive them just fine, but it will always timeout when trying to send emails.The smtp server I seem to be on is p02-smtp.mail.me.com. I tried to ping it and it has 100% packet loss, although this might just mean they reject ICMP requests.Sending from my iPhone or iCloud on the web works just fine.

I was able to access this specific website for months using my mac - both on firefox and safari.
Recently, it won't let me sign it. It just loads for 5 minutes or so then gives me a network timeout error. However, I am able to access the site on internet explorer using my PC.
Is it possible to control the value of the SMTP time out setting? Occasionally when I send an email, mail.app attempts to use an SMTP server that is available only via a VPN connection (such as the SMTP behind the corporate firewall at work). When it can't reach such a server, it takes about 5-10 minutes until it finally brings up a dialog to let me switch to a reachable SMTP host. I would like to change that 5-10 minute value to something more reasonable like 30 seconds.

Mac Pro with 10.7.3 and Minolta 1250e PagePro printer, which is listed under the Driver tab as a Generic Postscript Printer. Apple did not have anything for this model listed under the popup menu selection "Select Printer Software". The driver for printer was written for classic so I can't install it from the CD.
Everything prints, but an extra page is also printed with the following message:

The internal modem in my PowerBook Pro (mid 2010) shows up as "not connected" in the Network pane of system preferences, but I can't figure out how to get it to connect. When I enter my phone number and click the connect button, I get an error message: "Network Connection The communication device selected for your connection does not exist. Verify your settings and try reconnecting." Say what? It says it exists in the System Preferences, shows it in the list on the left. How can it not exist?

I recently purchased (as in days ago) a refurbished 13" Macbook Pro. I just noticed today that my wireless connection on my Macbook Pro has been losing it's connection about every other 2-3 minutes. I was on iChat with a buddy this morning, and I must have been disconnected and then reconnected about 8 times in 20 minutes. I first thought it must have been a problem with iChat. That said, I have sat here looking at my screen for the past ten minutes, and I have seen the Airport wireless indicator disconnect and then reconnect again at least three times in the past ten minutes.
I have AT&T U-Verse Service, and I am forced to use their provided 2WIRE router. That said, I have had no problems with any other device that uses the wireless connection, from my iPhone to my PS3. I work from home and have my HP laptop literally sitting right next to my Macbook, and it has not disconnected once from the same wireless connection, whereas my Macbook has literally disconnected at least 20 times.

I got a new Zoom x6 router a few weeks ago (combined modem and router) and it works fine on my desktop but recently the connection on my macbook is HORRIBLE. It goes slow and disconnects a lot. Today I set a password to the router and when i try to connect to the macbook i type in the password (correctly) and it says "connection timeout" so now it wont connect at all. is there anyway to fix this?

When I return and move the mouse or hit a button on the keyboard the login screen is simply black with the login field in the center. Q: Is there a way to change the color or set a background image for this screen? It is not the same screen that appears if I log out...the one with the gray linen with Apple logo. It is just plain black.

I have a Time Capsule wirelessly connected to my iMac. Since I've encountered some problems with backups because of intermittent wifi connection failures, I want to switch to a wired connection with an ethernet cable. I know I could fiddle with the wifi channels etc. but since the TC is just sitting next to my iMac anyway, I could profit from the higher bandwidth of a wired connection as well.Two questions:
1. What exactly do I have to do to make the switch? Are there any new settings I have to apply? Create a new network?
2. Will I still be able to use the wifi connection to get on the internet using my smartphone?
I have a MacPro Early 2009, 2 ethernet ports.Ethernet 1 is connected to the LAN and Ethernet 2 is connected directly to a SSL Matrix console (an audio mixer), whom driver needs the used ethernet port to be first of the list in the Network connections list in System Preferences.So when I browse internet I can't use the Matrix's software, and vice versa.I had to create 2 different network positions to browse internet and to work with SSL Matrix, one with Eth 1 first place, another one with Eth 2 first place, and I always have to swap positions.Is there a way to force OSX to use by default the 2nd connection of the list for internet access?

I'm on holiday using my mobile phone (Nokia N80) to connect to the Internet over GPRS / EDGE / UMTS. Everything works like a charm, but often the Internet Connect applet drops the connection and just hangs disconnecting.
I'm running OS X 10.4.7 on a 17" Macbook pro, but I have the same result on a iBook G4, same OS X version, and even trying with a different mobile phone (Nokia 6600) and different network service provider.
i have a router connected to my mac via ethernet. With my windows pc the router works as expected but when connected to the mac it drops the connection frequently. Does anyone have this problem?
