After Lion upgrade, having network issues after wake from sleep

A good point to make but the problem can be getting through on the phone.

It's now about 7 days since I installed the upgrade (10.7.1). Like many here I thought the problems had gone, they have to an extent and seem to come back intermittently. Having got Time Capsule to work at last (it would not under 10.7.0) yesterday the computer did not recognise it, said there was a new Time Capsule with default settings to set up. I did that and it's worked OK since. On the other hand Time Capsule does not knock out my WiFi now. With 10.7.1 that seems to have worked consistently well since I installed it. Occassionaly the iMac goes to sleep and immediately wakes up, not as often now but I am not convinced that is now a "Lion" problem and may be something to do with how I am set up.

The remaining problem that remains, whether it's a network one or not I don't know, is that iCal on the iMac does not sync. Others it seems have the same issue. It works fine for my iPhone, iPad and MacBook.

Think some progress though has been made with 10.7.1. A shame these basic issues were there in the first place on the release of Lion.

I'm convinced this is a Lion issue. I did a clean install, created a new user profile, removed all 3rd party kexts and the issue persists, even in 10.7.1.

However, I'm optimistic that this will be fixed in a future Lion release ;-)

Hi

I'm running 2 Mac Book Pros both new, but pre Lion preinstalled versions. After upgrading to Lion 10.7.1 the problem of not reconnecting after sleep was not resolved. Somewhere on the community I read this.

1. Open System preferences.

2. Open User and Groups.

3. Open Login tab

4 Against Itunes helper you will find a yellow triangle.

5 Deselect that item.

I now find that my internet connection is avaiable immediatley from sleep, each time. Problem solved.

Kevin, I tried your suggested solution. The internet is still disconnected when I awaken the computer from sleep 😟

Try deleting in from the login items rather than just taking the tick out of the box. Mine worked by just removing the tick from the box. Was there a yellow triangle next to Itunes Helper ? We shouldnt have to be doing this should we.

Mine appears to be reconnecting now each time. This is quite frustrating. My wife has a 15inch MBP the same age as mine, give or take a week. She has never had this issue with her MBP.

As a matter of interest what version of Itunes are you using ?

ATTENTION Fellow Frustrated Lion Users: I just got off the phone with U.S. Apple Support two minutes ago. The Rep said that indeed Apple is aware of the loss of Internet connection and the automatic immediate wake from sleep. He said the problem as the Apple Engineers see it is that instead of Lion putting JUST the monitor and harddrive to sleep as it should, Lion is instead put almost all Sytem Functions to sleep as if you had temporarily turned off the computer.

A fix is almost finished and will soon be available as a "Software Update."

Hang in there guys ;-)

😎 Thanks very much for the update.

Thank you for that update, very much appreciated!

When the software update arrives can people please update this thread with their findings and experiences? I've had to resort back to Snow Leopard due to time critical work and couldn't keep resetting my connections.

Please remember to update the thread!

For those of you who don't mind running pre-release software, who aren't developers but are desperate to have this issue fixed, then it might be worth signing up the Apple's seed program.

Hi ctomer, I got my email from Apple inviting me to try the new seed but had to turn it down. Do you know if it fixes the issue?

I'm under NDA so I can't say what's part of future Apple releases.

No problem ctomer, I get that.

@anyone else. Is this fixed yet? I've not been using Lion for ages now and don't know if it's patched.

Note that the odds of your problem being fixed in a future Lion release go down if you haven't contacted AppleCare, that's why I urge people having issues to do so.

It's only in that way that commonalities will be revealed to Apple's engineers.

Thanks for your advice. I raised a bug with Apple weeks ago.
