I always take courage when I read of others' problems and I don't feel
alone when it comes to these odd things my Macbookpro does for no
reason.
My old iBook and iMac are much more reliable, even the old titanium,
while slow, never does these weird things .
I don't know, but I do believe computers are just so complicated
anymore that these crazy happenings are unavoidable. Not that is is
help to anybody; on the other hand, there is a certain comfort in the
co-suffering concept. You don't feel you are the only nut these things
happen to.
And by the way, bringing up this old old subject of wanting to learn
from you all , I thought rather than my visiting you all to see your
concoctions, why not visiting me and then implement into my rather
basic setting, albeit involving immense meters of cords and cord
confusion and grace my set-up with your all's wisdom of interdependent
connections and fancy set-ups to integrate my whole mess.
I could serve a cup of coffee or even something stronger, depending on
you efforts! Who is brave enough to meet this challenge?

Eric,
My Intel MacBook (black model) did exactly the same thing, drove me
nuts and it got so it would do it without it going to sleep, it would
just lose connection for no reason. It was under AppleCare so I
took
it to Louisville and they installed a new wireless card. Didn't
help
a bit so since I had experienced so many problems with this
computer I
was allowed to upgrade to a new one for free or pay the difference to
go to the MacBook Pro.
Hopefully in your case the Airport card will solve your problem.

Ok, This issue has cropped up a bit recently. My airport card
disconnects from networks (yep plural. Mostly the one at work, but
also church, coffeeshops and all.) and it appears to just be my
airport card in my computer. Here's what happens. I look at a
website. Say a real estate search. Then do something else that
takes
a little time, like talk to a friend, and the computer goes to
sleep.
When I wake it up, it no longer is connected to the internet. And
the
airport card won't see any networks till it decides how much battery
power it has left or how long it will take to charge it up. I have
to
tell the computer which network to join or to join any at all. I've
looked around in network prefs, but haven't found anything that
looks
like it will fix the issue. The computer is fully updated and
running
10.5.6. Any ideas? Thanks!
Eric
