Apple Genius Bar is Brilliant
I’m good at all things Mac, so I was pretty distraught when I had to schedule an appointment with Apple’s Genius Bar. After spending a week sorting through my Wifi problems with Apple’s Mac OS X Lion, I pretty much figured that my relatively new iMac wasn’t compatible with Lion. After 45 magical minutes at the Apple Store, Drew - my genius - more or less agreed with me: we reinstalled OS 10.6 Snow Leopard. He also escalated the case… maybe Apple will sort out my problem in some future OS update.
And another Wifi corruption.
…and more more little hangup in the WiFi this morning.
More OS X Lion WiFi corruption issues
And more image scrambling.
More corruption.
Everything I download is corrupted. I can get nothing done around here.
I’ve outlined my frustrations with Apple’s OS X Lion not working with WiFi here but I thought I would add an image depicting just one of the symptoms resulting from my problem with the data streaming through the WiFi airwaves.
Apple OS X Lion + WiFi = Suck
I have had a nightmare of a time with Apple’s OS X Lion. I installed it a week ago and immediate had WiFi problems: I couldn’t maintain a connection for more than 30 seconds. Then someone pointed out this. And this.
In looking for a solution, I found this article: WiFi Dropping in OS X Lion? Here are Some Wireless Troubleshooting Solutions
Here’s what I have tried so far:
- Turn wireless on & off
- Reboot the Mac
- Reset the Router
- Move Wi-Fi to the top of the Service Order list
- Move the primary router to the top of “Preferred Networks” list
- Delete existing WiFi connections and re-add them
- Add an extra DNS entry
- Add a New Network Location
- Maintaining Data Transfer by pinging another server
I can now maintain a connection, but now everything is garbled. Audio has drop outs, graphics are smeared, iPhone Apps download with an error -8008, disc images for downloads of Chromium and Filezilla can’t be opened because the data is corrupt.
I’m pretty frustrated. This has now taken 40+ hours of my week and today I’m trying this: Still Having Lion Wi-Fi Problems? This Solution Works
