Yosemite 10.10.3 Wifi/Bluetooth Issue FIX

This didn't work for me specifically - but after a solid 6 hours of fiddling, and literally following EVERYONE's hunches - fixing it was very simple: Go into preferences for facetime and turn the new features in Yosemite off - the cell stuff, the integration with email accounts, ALL OF IT. Then, simply turn off wi-fi and turn it back on again - all network problems gone. There are others offering a similar solution at the protocol level, but I couldn't find the suggestion.

No wonder Apple's not saying anything. Making your iPhone ring on your mac screen was a BIG DEAL - except your iPhone and Mac have to be on the same wi-fi for a reason: so they can flood the crap out of it.

Everyone please try this and report back. I'm astonished that I spent so long troubleshooting - of course just disabling key new features would work! I'm running a late 13 MBP Retina on 10.10.3 - I'd held off upgrading to Yosemite until today - it has fixed other issues, but what a waste of a Friday!!!!

EDIT: Specifically, I disabled facetime and ALL options, re-enabled and got both my speed and reliability back. The interesting thing is that through trial and error, I found that it is probably the iCloud integration in Facetime. The good news is, I cannot reproduce the failure. Once it's fixed, you can apparently turn everything back on without issue.

Thx for offering a suggestion but unfortunately it did not work for me. Glad yours up and running. Thx again

WIFI AND BLUETOOTH FINALLY SOLVED, NO REALLY - YOSEMITE 10.10

Nice to read you ramboface! How do you disable Facetime and ALL options? I am really looking forward to test your solution as my wifi connection is switching about every 5 minutes. Thanks! :-)

Holy crap! This totally worked! Thank you!!

Your fix seems to work. Amazing. Thanks so much for posting.

I did a repair of disk permissions and so far the issue has not returned.

I don't remember everything that was changed, but I do remember that most of them were printer permissions which I found odd. It's working fine so far though. I will update this post in a few hours.

I frankly can hardly believe, after all the wifi issues that this MBA 2013 had when I bought it, and after several months they finally fixed it (but never admitted to having a problem), that I would once again be fighting with this issue. This company's integrity has gone down the sewer. I have tried the fix, seems to work for a while, then the problem returns.

I just tried this too, and the number of errors it found was, well, uncountable. I ran the repair, so we shall see. Thanks for this either way, as there were obviously a lot of problems, mostly printer related.

Eh it kept happening. I ended up completely resetting my router to its default settings then reconfiguring it without doing anything special. My connection issues have not returned.

Perhaps there are compatibility issues from this update. I'm still irritated because it worked perfectly fine before I updated to 10.10.3. I haven't messed with my router settings in nearly a year.
