Bug fix for Mac book wireless - problem solved!

Aparantly there is a rather large number of folks out
there who've discovered this dillema with wireless
not working very well at this point on the Macbook.


Well, I can attest there is one very good solution
out there for this issue. This application called
Sonar Theater from www.sunray.tv includes a bug fix
for the wireless connection issues with Macbook in
their latest 1.5 release of Sonar Theater.

I downloaded it, put it into my start up folder and
waalaa! problem solved. I've haven't any more
issues with dropped wireless since - it's been
running constantly for over 2 weeks now.

I haven't even attempted to touch my router
configuration - don't need to.

Hey Macadellic,

I am a first time Mac user and not very up to speed on Mac. I bought this Mac book several weeks ago and I was having all kinds of problems with dropped wireless on my wireless settings. I think it was dropping wireless connections every 2-3 minutes. I downloaded the Sonar Theater application you suggested and I got it to install right away. Can't believe Mac's install programs so easily. Your right, they've included some kind of fix because I haven't had any problems since. been running it for about 2 hours now. No drops.

Hey, how did you say you get this application to stay in the start up directory? I know how to do that on my PC but not sure how to do it on a Mac?

pls help - newby boy.

Welcome to the better life of Macs. I am using Sonar Theater too and it's been working very well for me. In fact, I'm getting hooked on just texting a message to my Mac book to fire up user sessions now. I think if you give the Mac Book some time however, you'll find that there really is no comparison to PC's. Your life overall is going to just keep getting better as you dig in to the resources available to new Mac users.

I'm sure it seems confusing to PC users at first, but here's how to set up any application as part of your startup sequence. It really is extremely easy and simple compared to the PC world. Oh and by the way, in reality, Mac users refer to this as your login sequence. So, at login time, you can do a multitude of different things for each user account you might want to set up. Naturally, you can choose to share or not share applications and data between these user accounts on your Mac too....

----------------------------------------------------
Mac OS X 10.3 or later

1. Log in as the user who wishes to have a login item or as an admin user.
2. Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
3. Choose Accounts from the View menu.
4. Click the name of the user.
5. Click the Startup Items button
6. Click the "Add {+}" button.

The item you selected will automatically open the next time you log in.

there are several ways to get good info from the apple community on tips and tricks as well. you should just try the apple os x web site...here,

stokin' man! IT WORKED! This IS totally cool!

I don't mean to be rude but can anyone with more experience on this board atest to this product? Or are these guys (guy) just trying to push this Sonar Theatre thing? No offense to anyone buy this thread seems a little like a sales pitch to me. JMHO.

Yea, must be a coincidence that all the users posting above registered in the last day or so 🙂

whoaa .. I didn't expect to find the posting gestapo here .. I just became a mac owner 2 days ago .. I had problems with my wireless and search google for answers .. I found this forum and read macadellics bug patch so I tried it and it worked

So what's up with the accusations .. dude you need to chill out man

Is there a freeware version? I don't want to spend 30bucks to fix the wireless connection that shouldn't have a problem to begin with, ya know?

Hi Bri Pod,

Hmmmmm. I doubt this too. Your comment makes sense. We need the input of the experts here. I want to know if this is a "legitimate" product as I am having too much trouble with my wireless connection myself. I won't download the application until I hear from the experienced Mac users.

I tried to find the information from the sites, but what they give is very limited and more to their programs can do, not what that program can fix. Too bad they don't give the trial version to test.

It is up to you to buy it or not, if you desperate enough and all last resort been done and still having problem, maybe this is the cure for you, but my suggestion is better wait and and read some more thread that give you more constructive input and fix by using method that is proven.

If it is really a major problem widespread on MacBook, I hope and sure that apple will release the fix a.s.a.p.
And try to update to 10.4.7 if you haven't done that, for I read thread that it solved compatibility for certain programs or third party device.

Could be your MAcBook airport is not having problem but the setting in between WAP and your MAcBook that need to be tweak.

Good Luck.

Macadellic-
At first I was little skeptical that you might be working for that company trying to get us to download you cheesy little application. Based on your defensiveness, you proved to me that you are. I think most people on here would like to solve their problems without having to spend $30 on a third party novelty application. You're right, I did spend a lot of money on my hardware, it should work properly without the use of Sonar Theatre or any other 3rd party app. As far as being a paranoid American, I would say I'm more cautious of people trying to sell me something I don't need. I don't know if that has anything to do with being a "Yank" as you put it, but if it does, then God bless America! Good day sir.

"Yea, must be a coincidence that all the users posting above registered in the last day or so 🙂"

I was thinking the same thing. It can't be a coincidence I reckon. No thanks.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the input. I'm not that desperate enough to try this application. There are other alternative solutions out there and perhaps will just wait for Apple to come up with a fix.

I have updated to 10.4.7. My connection though still not that stable became a lot better. I get lesser disconnection and I connect easily when my mac goes to sleep. This is not the case before the update. It's a lot acceptable now. So far the only problem I have with my mac is this. Thank heavens!

Cheers.
