I try enable this option - wifi dont work after sleep. Then disable - wifi works fine. I dont know how this option related with this problem, but this help to solve problem"

Worked for me, thx unton

I gave up. I switched off Bluetooth and got rid of the bluetooth mouse, speakers and headphones.

Now, thanks to this bug my desktop is cleaner and clutterless.

Imagine your brand new Macbook Air does not have bluetooth at all and you will be fine and avoid frustration.

This option is in the plan for AC power only. However, I have it disabled and it doesn't help.

The problem appears regardless of the power source. That means on the battery as well as on AC.

That's what I did too. Luckily I don't need bluetooth a lot, so the solution, although an ugly one, works so far. Far better then waste my time trying to explain anything to Apple support. They behave as if it's my problem that my MacBook Air can't connect to WiFi, suggesting to reset all kinds of stupid things, none of which work.

Interesting that it happens when on AC power for you. What does the log say say upon wake from sleep? Open Console.app and look for entries about "AirPort" that gets written to the log when the computer attempts to re-connect to the Wifi. Maybe you can post what it says here?

As I have mentioned on several previous posts, Bluetooth is the problem. There is a solution other than Apple who has done nothing for 10 months now - Amazon sells a several USB Bluetooth devices for $10 - $15. This circumvents the problem internal radio. Several people previoulsy were offended that I would suggest adding a dongle to an Apple device but I would suggest that they suck it up and admit that Apple doesn't seem to give a **** nor to have any solution in mind!! If it works, it works.

As an aside, I had tried all other offered solutions with none but this working. Power supply has nothing to do with it.

I don't think anyone is offended at the suggestion, I just wonder if it's necessary for you to repeat the same advice each time a new person chimes in with this problem.

I am also having this same problem and waiting for an Apple fix. The more people that post about having the problem the likelier we are to see a fix.

Eakinm2 thank you for your inventive solution. However, we are all capable of reading through this thread and reading your previous posts. Thank you for bringing it to our attention, but you do not need to post it repeatedly on the thread.

Understood. I'll shut up. It just irritates me that Apple won't do anything about this!!

Thanks @Mike Erstad. Looks like you have found out the real issue. Everything works perfect for me now. 🙂

I think, I found a solution (thanks to applecare). Try this:

1. Open Finder -> Go (menu) -> Computer -> Macintosh HD -> Library -> Preferences

2. Delete file: com.apple.Bluetooth.plist

3. Reboot computer

I hope it helps

Happy New Year

jsalord,

Just deleted the bluetooth preference list (com.apple.Bluetooth.plist), shutdown, restarted, paired up with a Bose device, put my MacBook Air to sleep for 15 min and when it woke it connected right away to WiFi.

I can't beleive that my guy from Appecare didn't come up with that fix...

I'll contune testing and if I find that it fails I'll repost...

Thanks,

Mike

I tried deleting the Bluetooth preferences file months ago. This did not fix my problem.

Lets see,

The guy from applecare (spain) also told me to remove all files in User Library -> Caches. So you can try to do both:

1. Finder -> Go (menu) -> Computer -> Macintosh HD -> Library -> Preferences

2. Delete file: com.apple.Bluetooth.plist

3. Finder -> Go -> (press ALT) Library -> Caches

4. Delete all files in Caches

5. Reboot computer

Notice that step 1 relates to System Library while step 3 relates to User Library.

In fact, the guy from apple didn't initially solve my problem because when he told me to delete com.apple.Bluetooth.plist from User Library, and the file wasn't there. Then he suggested me to reinstall the whole system (I didn't like it). After the call, I guessed that it could be in System Library and voila!!!

Another curious test is to create a new user to see if it happens too. It worked fine initially, but after a while it failed again.

Good Luck
