If my wifi isn't turned on, my MBP chucks-up a warning saying none of my networks are available. So I close the box and turn on my wifi. My iPhone will then, without any further input, connect to my wifi.So why does my �1600 MacBook Pro need me to reselect it from my wifi list? Why can't it just see it and connect to it?!

My MacBook Air (2013 model, 1.3 Ghz Intel Core i5, 4GB 1600 MHz DDR3, OS X Version 10.9.2) which I received less than a week ago was working fine. Until last night. My latop will now not connect to ANY wifi networks. It's sees the networks but when I try to manually join one it says "The wifi network ... could not be joined" when I then run diagnostics it says "Wifi not associated" and "review wifi best practices".
View 2 Replies View RelatedIt's the strangest thing, my wife's MBA (v1) will randomly refuse to connect to our home wifi network (cast by a 500GB Time Capsule). What seems to be happening is that it will connect then disconnect at bootup, it will say no preferred networks are available (when the home network has been configured!) and refuse to assign an IP address to the MBA. If I manually select the home network from the wifi icon, it will diplay security password, and then say this is invalid (when it is perfectly valid and the one used by my own MBP and iPhone)... this seems to happen only on our home network, any other works fine...My own MBP is fine. This is driving me crazy and I haven't found anything on the web on this.
View 3 Replies View RelatedEven though I have my router in preferred network list, my MBA still asks me to select a network to join. It says that none of my preferred network is in range, and only shows my router after I "refresh" the list by clicking on the airport icon. My UMBP connect to my network fine. Is there any way to also make my MBA connect to the network automatically?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Wireless network in my home using an Airport Base Station Extreme. The odd problem I have is for months my computer, a MBP, would stay logged onto it. I could have my computer in sleep mode and come to it in the morning and it would turn on and be logged on.
Now whenever my computer seems to go into sleep mode it either loses the wi-fi or it won't log onto it when it comes out of sleep mode. This never happened. I had some problems with my Airport Base Station Extreme after doing a firmware update so had to set up my home network again. I thought this was part of it but even removed the network from my MBP and set it up again and the same problem.
My Macbook Air is not connecting to wifi automatically even though my network is in the preferred network list. What shall I do?

I have a brand spanking new iMac running Lion. I have it setup with different accounts - me, my wife, the kids,... Problem is when I switch accounts or log on it wont connect automatically to my home Cisco wifi router. I need to select it each time from the menu bar. For me this just very frustrating but for anyone visiting it pretty much means that they wont be able to use the computer as they thing that it isn't connected to the net. There has got to be some way to automatically connect to a network, it works perfectly each time on all of my windows devices. Anyone know how to fix this - its close to making me pack the thing up and send it back?
View 2 Replies View RelatedAt my uni campus they have wifi everywhere, but when you connect to it (which my mac does automatically) you have to go in through a login page before you can use it. How can i get it to login once it connects to the wifi (i do use other wifi connections which dont require login). There is no wifi password (just the login page). Other than for ease of use, the other reason i am doing this is because i am setting up my cam to take pictures of a thief if my mac were to be stolen (then upload to ftp). The more auto connected internet - the better.

I have a problem with my Wi-Fi adapter. Irregularly my Wi-Fi connection stucks with still showing that a connection should be there but the internet is not working. Anyhow I manually deactivate the whole Wi-Fi adapter and I cannot switch it on again. Same problem exists when sometimes awake the Macbook and then the adapter is again deactivated. In both cases just a restart helps to solve the problem. After that everythink is working perfect again. what to check? I'm not really familiarly with the log files..

How do I get my laptop to automatically connect to my wifi and not my neighbors?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have to work with two different Wi-Fi (at home and office) one of which uses DHCP and other requires me to manually enter IP address. Right now I have to keep on changing Wi-Fi settings (putting IP addresses when at office and setting to DHCP at home) whenever I go from home to office and then do the reverse when I go from office to home. Can I automate that so I don't have to repeatedly fiddle with settings?Â

Every time my mac goes into standby the wifi connection needs to be manually joined, so trying to connect remotely is impossible without joining a wifi network manually.

This problem never happens with my MBP - and it is running a CCC Clone of the same 10.7.x system. But whenever I restart my iMac 20.5" it never automatically connects at startup. I always have to touch the wifi symbol in the menu. After that I don't need to select my home network - it will then find it and connect. But until I do that it doesn't connect. This has happened ever since I've gotten this iMac. Also annoying is that the sound output upon startup always defaults to my Logitech headset regardless of how I left it set in Sound settings.Â

On Feb 18th 2012 4 new updates automatically installed. Since then, whenever I wake the Imac from sleep mode I have to manually re-connect to my wi-fi. Prior to the updates it did this automatically. I see nothing in Network or Airport Utility that controls this ("automatic" is already checked where appropriate). I'm running OS X Lion.

My mother had a bunch of old family documents (some dating back to 1859) that I wanted to scan in when I visited her last time. The scanner she had was not a scanner that was long enough for legal size documents so I had to scan the top and then scan the bottom of the document. They were placed into two separate files. My question is how can I join the two documents together? I know that I can use preview to combine the two separate files into one but I have a need to "attach" the second document to the end of the first one so that it appears that they were originally scanned as one document? Is this possible? Am I looking at an expensive software purchase?
