AirPort does not show under System Preferences Network Show

Hello,
I am having problems with my AirPort Express. It is listed in AirPort Admin Utility (with an IP Address), but does not show up under System Preferences > Network > Show.
How can I get the AirPort recognized?
Thanks,
Fidelio

In System under "Network" it shows "AirPort Card" with "No information found"
Your Mac does not have a wireless card installed or it is not working.
However, I would like to set up a shared printer and instructions I have for this say that I need to get the IP address of AirPort under System Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort.
That information should have nothing to do with a printer since the information there relates to your Mac... not to the AirPort Express (AX).

You have to upgrade to Lion for the iCloud preferences to be available.

AirPort does not auto-connect to existing network after waking from sleep

...but I can easily connect it manually. I read the FAQ on this subject and followed the resetting steps in system preferences/network (the procedure was specific for Intel iMacs-but I did it anyway)
It did not help. The flaw just occurred a couple of days ago, after a year of flawless operation Please help.

Solved! I trashed the internet connect preference in the library, and it worked!

ICloud does not appear in system preferences?

Just bought a used macbook with OSX Lion already installed on it. The issue is that iCloud is not in the System Preferences
and I would like to find out what I have to do to get this application to appear? Please help...

If you have Lion, check to see the version.
You are most likely running version 10.7.1 in which you will need to run Software Update and update your computer to version 10.7.2 to get iCloud in System Preferences.

TM does not appear in system preferences

I've recently set up a TM for backing up wirelessly, this works fine with my mac book, but it does not show up in my system preferences on my I Mac with OS X 10.5.1, it is only visible on the desk top as data.
I'm using the TM as a primary network device and all is ok in the network utility as far as the network is concerned.
Any help would be gratefully accepted

Upgrade to 10.5.6. At a minimum, I think you need at least 10.5.2 to use time machine with time capsule.

Can't find printer on airport or in 'add' under system preferences

Hi I just purchased an imac and also the printer recommended to me by apple that they included in my package. I've gotten the printer to work just fine if I have it plugged into the usb, however the printer IS connected to my wireless network and yet I can't seem to pick it up with my airport or the system preferences>adding a printer. What should I do? I looked at numerous other posts, but none seem to address if the printer simply isn't showing up. I know it is connected to my wifi (set up through the printer's controls) because I have a green light on the printer, so why can't my imac pick it up? any help would be great.

I keep getting to that point...pushing the + sign, but then there aren't any printers there either. I've looked all over...the airport program, the different settings within adding a printer...just doesn't seem to be there. although the printer can print a page confirming its connection to my wifi. other things in the house have worked, such as setting up the wii with netflix, configured that through this imac. Just doesn't seem to see the printer. anyways, perhaps I will have to call. gotta say, I thought getting the printer in the package through apple would eliminate this situation...

Printer does not display in System Preferences

I've got a simple setup, which is still in testing (no production clients yet).
Server: Mac OS 10.9.1 with Server 3.0.2 . Self signed trust certificate and enrollment certificates. 3rd party SSL cert for web. I've tried this with 10.8.5/2.2.1 as well with no success there either.
Client: Mac OS 10.9.1
I configured a printer on my server through System Preferences with these settings:
Printer Type : IP
address: servername.mydomain.edu
Queue: MyPrinter2000
Name: MyPrinter2000
First of all, Profile Manager 2 was horrendous. I would not recommend using it at all. I could not get consistent profile deployments at all. Moving on...
I add a profile in Profile Manager that is associated to my client. I add some settings to try out including energy savings, login items, login window and some others. For the printer setting, I add the printer that is installed on my server. I allow users to manage the printer list, allow local printers, and save the setting.
The profile deploys right away, and on my test machine, I can see that the printer should be installed when reading the profile in System Preferences. In the Print & Scan menu, however, no printers are displayed whatsoever. I navigate to http://localhost:631 on this same client, and can see the printer there with the correct servername, queue, and driver. I am able to print a test page via that interface successfully.
I have tried installing the printer on the server as shared and not shared. I've removed all profiles and started from scratch with just one profile with just one printer added. Still nothing. I can't figure out why the printer seems to get deployed when I look at the web CUPS interface on the test machine, but System Preferences doesn't show anything.

Are you deploying the profile at user or machine level? I know you may know this but others may not but Apple began the deprecation of WorkGroup Manager with 10.7. FWIW those of us who've been using these technologies since 10.2 and earlier learnt to adapt and used a combination of many applications (some 3rd-party) as well as other techniques which over time worked consistently well. I suppose what I'm trying to say is don't pin all your hopes on PM because it's still not 'enterprise-ready' for OS X yet IMO. I think other veterans and professionals in my field may agree? Having said that I did make it work at some installations/deployments since its first release. Yet at other installations I saw exactly the same behaviour as you do. No logical reason as to why as the network contractor was the same for all those sites. For me this effectively ruled out the network topology and infrastructure as a potential source of the problem. Interestingly I noticed it occasionally worked if the printers were in the same subnet as the macs but even this was not conclusive.

In system preferences - languages and text - the formatting of numbers does not respond, In system preferences - languages and text - the formatting of numbers does not respond

When in system preferences, under languages and text, and within it in regions, there is a place where you can format numbers - or currencies by indicating that you want a dot in decimals and comma in thousands, for instance. This is in order to format numbers in calculating sheets, either in numbers of excell.
Since I have moved to Mountain Lion, this does not work. However, with an apple advisor, we were able to determine that it is not a global problem, it seems to be a problem in my computer. We found this out when we created a new administrator user as a test, and the formatting mentioned above works like a charm.
Then we tried separating all my preferencies into a untitled folder restarted and got a set of new prefernces for my own user, and the formatting required did not work.
Now I am - as you can see - quite stumped, the advisor told me it might be in the home folder, but I lost touch with him, and I am hoping that I can find SOMEONE that can help me with this issue.
Thank you

Hi there! Just reading that paragraph I hurt all over
But I got it solved and I would like to share it with you. I actually called Apple and they created a user roots, and from the library in the HD replaced the preferences. After that it worked like a charm.... But that is not all, then excel did not work, even if preferences did, so I went and uninstalled microsoft office, and reinstalled so that was that...
I use safari... I love it, but thanks for all your offers. If I even do need something, I will let you know. and PLEASE let me know if what I wrote above makes sense.... but it works
Take care

Time capsual does not appear in system preferences

I have loaded the time capsual software and it appears to be working ok - the green light is solid, I have wireless internet and access to my external hard drive which is also connected to the capsual base station. However, I am trying to do my first system backup but cannot find TC is system preferences as per instructions - am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

Time Capsule is a device. Time Machine is the app built into Leopard (10.5.x). TM is found under Applications -> Utilities. However, my TM icon is right on my Dock and on the upper menu bar. Have you used TM before?

IBook G4 and Airport - does not see other Macs on network

Hi. My iBook G4 (1 gHz, 768 meg, OS 10.4.10) has a networking issue. I can easily connnect online via the Airport card to our Belkin 54g router, to which my G4/733 and G5/2gHz are also connected (hard-wired). As I said, I can connect to the internet with no problem...but cannot see the other computers, nor print to a shared printer! And they cannot see the iBook! when I turn off Airport, and hook up the iBook with a wire, everything works fine, and everyone can see everyone else. This points to some sort of Airport setup thing...any suggestions?

I don't have tiger, so I don't know how different it is from panther;
so have you turned on the correct sharing in your sys preferences,
have you created a computer to computer network (using airport),
have you tried to connect using the network or _connect to server menu_ choice to one of the other computer that you have a user name and password for?
It seems to take a minute or two for the other computer(s) to show up in the network window, so maybe you just aren't waiting long enough? or maybe it's a tiger difference.
I just checked to see if I could connect myself to another computer here, using airport and a belkin 54g router. both computers are wireless G4 ibooks and I created a network, named it, and selected it from the drop down menu choice on both computers and I can access either one from the other, but I have to have a login name and password to do so. those have to be the same as one that is on the computer you are wanting to access.
