Solved

Hello,

every time I turn on my Mac, it doesn't connect to the Wi‑Fi network of my Freebox, even though I place it at the top of known networks, and it automatically asks me to re-enter its password. For several months it all worked fine; now it happens systematically.

Configuration: Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8) / Safari 5.1.7

    Hello,
    Try this first:
    Choose and download Onyx for your system http://www.titanium.free.fr/
    Install Onyx.
    Open Onyx
    Let it check the SMART status of the hard drive and the volume structure, then enter the password when it asks for it
    Then click the "Automation" button
    Check all the boxes except "Show folder contents"
    Click "Run"
    Restart the Mac.

    (You can use Onyx, for example, once a week for maintenance and prevention of problems).

    thank you for this advice, it worked perfectly.
    could you tell me (out of curiosity) what was wrong before?
    thanks a lot

    Hello,
    Most of the time, repairing permissions (performed by Onyx in this case) is enough to solve most problems. This happens quite frequently and is part of routine maintenance. That doesn't mean there is a particular problem in your system.
