Why reset network settings affect networks WiFi on my Mac?

To try to solve issues with AT & T carrier update 24.2 IOS 9.3.2,and reset my network settings by suggestion from Apple If you can not connect to a cellular or cell - data Apple Support Network . As soon as I did, I looked at the WiFi signal on my MacBook Pro of retina disappear; and OS X then prompted me to reenter the information of my WiFi (no known network was available). I then checked my stored WiFi networks, and only attwifi and my work's current access point were (among many others who were already there).

I enjoyed the convenience of synchronization of my WiFi network on my iPhone and MacBook in recent versions of their operating systems. However, there was no warning that resetting the network settings on my iPhone would eliminate all networks on my MacBook Pro. There is also no warning on the page of the Apple website above of the present.

Is this a bug I should report? Since there is no mention of this side effect on the Apple documentation, I am inclined to think that it was not intentional.

  • iPhone does not remember network wifi from 10.0.2 upgrade

    Hi, I have an iphone with OS 10.0.2 5s (A 14, 456). Given that I have updated to version 10 my phone does not remember the hidden network (hidden ssid, security wpa2, no proxy, without filter mac or anything special) at work. The AP is a Cisco Aironet 2602i works correctly for others (with iphones with os 10 and other phones/computers as well) and this worked well for me before the update. If I add once again the network by entering the name and password that it connects without any problem and works fine until I have disconnect or leaving the office. Once I disconnected or run out of reach and restart the connection (manual connect or just getting back to the beach) the network is no longer there as it never existed then I have to start the whole process from the beginning, if I want to use wifi.

    I have tried of course to restart the phone and add the network and remove it while I was connected and then add again, but so far nothing works.

    It is something he does not automatically connect, but because he forgets all the information I need to type again and again is quite annoying. Y at - there someone out there who could give advice what could be the problem and how to solve?

    Thank you!

    Hi Sircsak,

    All you have to do is reset the network settings.

    Go to settings > general > reset > reset network settings

    Finally, add your network.

    This should solve the problem.

    See you soon!

  • How can I configure the order of networks wifi on my iPhone 6?

    I was browsing the Internet and looking for throughout my general settings but I'm not able to find a way to configure the order of networks wifi on my phone, as I can with my MacBook Air (via Network Preferences > advanced > tab Wi - fi). I had to do a reset to the factory on my router settings and now my iPhone automatically connects to another wifi network in the building which is distant; and, as a result, poor reception. He will also choose my device Chromecast before my own router, so I have to go and manually choose my router every time.

    Is my only option to "forget this network" for the device Chromecast and the other network wifi. Therefore, to move my router plus high in the list (and then add those two later, put further down in the hierarchy list), or y at - it a simple way to just change the order? Thanks for the help.

    Settings > Wi - Fi > select the network to which you want to connect, enter the password.

  • Why the network does not work after update to ios10?

    I can't make and receive calls. In addition, I can't send and receive messages.

    Reset your network settings. Tap Settings > general > reset > reset network settings. This also resets the Wi - Fi networks and passwords, cell parameters and VPN and APN settings you used before.

  • Problems of synchronization/Notification on network WiFi home

    I asked over on reddit without any successful response.

    In fact, when I'm on my own home Wifi network, I have a lot of apps that simply do not synchronize. This includes gmail, fitbit, Foxnews, Snapchat, WhatsApp and various games. Some applications will be sync intermittently (I've seen whatsapp messages appear about half an hour late). Some of these applications work when I open them and use them, some do not work until I have turn off my WiFi. Many other applications (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) work as usual.

    If I go on the 4G network or any other network WiFi (for example at work), things work perfectly. As soon as I'm leaving my home network, I all of a sudden all the regular notifications.

    Here's what I did to try to remedy the situation:

    • Restart my router


    • Factory reset my router


    • Forget my networks


    • Change my SSID (it's actually worked for 10-15 minutes)

    Someone at - it any other suggestions as to what I can do? I saw at least 2-3 other on reddit that have this problem. He started shortly after the upgrade to 5.1.

    Thanks in advance.

    Dear lasvegaswireman thank you very much for your answer. Last day I contacted the HP support team and I got the resolution, Compaq 15-s001TU comes with pre loaded back free. If you want to upgrade to windows 8, I believe that you will find no difficulty in finding the drivers for the HP product support page. But in the case of windows 7, you will not get the driver LAN, Wifi and Bluetooth page main media because HP made this model to be worked with windows 8. They provide generic drivers for above mentioned drivers missing. First of all let me dissect the details of manufactured goods of chipset for this model which is not mentioned in anywhere (not even in the catalogue).

  • What's doing "reset all settings", and what should I do after?  I have an iPhone with an IOS 9.3.2 6 updated

    I have an iPhone 6 with abios 9.3.2 update.  Have experienced problems of bluetooth with my connection on my Forester from 2015.  It worked fine before the update.  Went to the assistance of Apple having a soft reboot.  they had me back up to iTunes and restore.  Most of the problems have been resolved but still cannot get sound on phone calls.  Were asked to reset all the settings.  Would like to know what, and what I have to do after.

    Settings > general > reset > reset all settings.

    IF you look at what is in the settings app, you will need to re-home/redo everything what you have configured in the application. You will need to join all the WiFi networks once again, enter again all the passwords, set all your privacy settings, your favorite wallpaper select ringtones, reset notifications and so on. Basically, all that is in the application settings will have to be entered again.

    Your phone will also restart on its own when you reset all settings. It takes time to put everything back to where you had it, but it's not so bad. I did it several times.

    reset the settings to the printer... still no print... more haven't added any items to the menu bar... they went bar & customize window title bar changed...

    By default Firefox will be "reduced to adjust." You who can disable in layout in a regular window or in print preview, but it's hard to call Preview in the window pop up in print, because the menu bar and the toolbar are removed. If it is a common problem, you can use a different add-on (!) which puts the print preview before printing and Page Setup on the shortcut menu.

    I have not used for some time, but I hope that it always works in Firefox 29: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/printprint-preview/
