macbook or mbp users

got my mbp back in sept 2010, I've recently updated to lion, but had this problem on leopard. Ill be on a few sites, or just one at a time, and all of a sudden internet stops working. wifi says I'm connected at full bars, but the pages don't load and i have to restart the computer to reconnect to the internet. Does anyone else experience this? how did you fix it?

Sounds like a problem with a Plugin or Input Manager in Safari. Do you know how to try them one at a time? If not msg me.

I had the same problem, but didn't have to restart my Macbook Pro. I would have to turn off Wi-Fi and then turn it back on. I also made some other changes but I don't recall at the moment.

Sometimes turning wifi on and off works, some times it doesn't. Shutting down always works for me so I just do that

I know when I was having the problem I did some google searching and found a bunch of different topics about the issue. Someone recommended on a forum about changing some of the Wi-Fi settings and that helped me. It was a known issue with Snow Leopard and transferred over to Lion when I updated.

to be honest, for the amount of money we paid for these things, that should even be an option to fix it. actually, this shouldn't even be happening. i never once had an issue like this with my old hp, but this pos always does it and drives me nuts.

true, but id still take the few glitches over an hp anyday. i don't like waiting 20 mins for my laptop to turn on lol

agreed. i did usually keep mine on because i just didn't want to wait for it to load. lol. in any case, i guess theres no resolution to this which is really disappointing. From such a technologically advanced brand, they can't get the simplest things right, or offer any solution, because I'm sure all i would get is turn wifi off and back on.

lol. ill be the first to admit I'm an apple fanboy, i love all my apple products and couldn't survive without em. however, sh/t like that i love. i especially love that one commercial from samsung bashing the iPhone and all the people in line, haha man i love the making fun of apple

Buying an apple product isnt bad, so long as you dont expect it to be the best and accept the fact that its more of a status thing than functional.

People that use mac's use them because they are computer illiterate and are afraid to click an OK button on a dialog box.
