Airport will not connect to Linksys router after iDisk sync force quit
Hi,
Hoping someone can help me here, kinda at my wits end.
A week ago I was video ichatting and restarted my MacBook because the video feed was sluggish. I thought a restart would help.
Unknown to me was that my iDisk was syncing. I recieved an warning dialogue box and was given the option of canceling the restart or force quitting the iDisk sync. I choose to force quit and proceed with the restart. After choosing to continue with the force quit I received an error message, it had the phrase "Mirror Agent" in it, and then my MacPro restarted.
Since that first restart, I have not been able to connect, using Airport, to my Linksys Wireless router (model # WRT54 GX4).
This is where it gets strange. Airport sees the router, displays a signal strength, shows up on my list of perfered networks...it displays all of the signs of a fully connected router but when I try to access the web, check mail or use iChat I cannot because Safari, Mail and iChat tell me that I am not connected to the internet.
When I ran the network dianogistic tool, it first asked me why I would want to run it because it thought I was already connected. After running the tool it still came back with the same results, I was connect to the internet. But I still couldn't launch Safari, it just hung.
This is where it gets really wierd. My wife, she's on a HP, can connect, using her built-in wireless card. Even after changing the Firmware on the Linksys router, her pc can still connect.
And here's the icing on the cake. There are some unprotected wireless networks on my street. I can connected to those but not my own! Something has to be blocking the signal between my AirPort card and the Linksys router. Does that make sense?
And if there is one saving grace to all of this, I still can connect to the web using the built-in Ethernet.
Here's what I have tried:
Removed Perfered Network, restarted MAC, added network back, still no connectivity.
Removed security (was using WPA/WPA2) from the router still no connectivity.
Removed Airport Keychain, restarted MAC, added router back, still no connectivity.
Repaired the permissions on my HD, someone at work told me to try that, still no connectivity.
Updated firmware to Linksys router to version 1.00.20, no connectivity.
Rebooted Linksys router and cable modem, still no connectivity.
Thank you to all in advance for reading my rambling note and forgiving my poor spelling (it is way past my bedtime and the keys are really blurry). I am still very new to Mac's and appreiciate any help that you can provide.
Cheers,
Alan

Sounds like you have two wireless networks on the same channel.
Change the channel on the Airport Express.

When trying to set up port forwarding for Xbox, I lost Internet when I updated the new settings. When I removed the port forwarding and unchecked the nat box, the Internet ip came back. Any help would be appreciated.
I had a chance to bring it in to the Genius bar today. My worst fear was that after everything I had tried, it would work at the store. It did. ("Are you sure you plugged it into the port with the circle?") Luckily, it died after about 2 minutes, which apparently was what it had been doing. So the Genius worked on it. And worked on it. After my 8 hours of troubleshooting, it was almost worth it to see a Genius stumped. A half hour later, he decided that the Airport was toast, as I had suspected. It would cost him $300 to order a replacement, so he said to just get a new Airport. The new Airports are not cheap. We ended up getting a Linksys WRT54G for 50 bucks, and I set that up in a few minutes. I got a cool-looking broken Airport out of the deal, though, which will look awesome, even if it doesn't work.

I installed a new wifi router and airport will not connect automatically to it. It sees the network but will not connect unless I tell it to. I can't find anywhere in the utility or network preferences that will allow me to choose this router as the default. How do I fix this? BTW I'm using Lion.
Are there any previous networks that you have used that have the same password as Molly? YES
Using System Preferences > Network > AirPort Advanced again, you need to remove any listings of previous networks that used the same password as Molly. Click the name of the network and click the - (minus) button at the bottom of the list of connections.
Also delete any other networks (except Molly at the top of the list) that might have used the same name...Molly in the past.
Delete any other networks that you no longer need so that your Mac will search for networks more quickly
Click OK, then click Apply
Open KeyChain Access and look for a listing of any old networks that you no longer need. Click to highlight the name of the network, then click the Delete Key on your computer.
Then look for any old networks that might have used the name Molly in the past and do the same for them.
Then look for any old networks that might have used the same password as the password for your "new" Molly network and delete them in the same way
Click the KeyChain Access menu just next to the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the computer screen
and then click KeyChain First Aid
Enter the main administrator password for the Mac you are using and highlight the Repair button. Then click Start. You will see a message that repairs have been completed
Quit Keychain Access
Power down the entire network...all devices...order is not important
Power up the modem first, then your main router, the other devices one at a time
Log on to Molly and see if the Mac remembers it after a few tries. If not, I'm afraid that you will need to change the name of the wireless network and password on your router due to corruption issues on the Mac. You have done everything possible without re-installing the complete operating system. -
Airport will not connect to Wifi after Restore
I do not remember the exact verison, but my Macbook was upgraded to Snow Leopard and connected to my Verizon router (WPA security) just fine.
I decided to restore my Macbook back to factory settings and inserted the install disk and went from there.
After my Macbook was restored. It reverted back to 10.4.8 (Tiger) - which was to be expected. Now my Macbook will not connect to my router, saying there is an error.
I'm at a lost right now on what to do.robcub wrote:

I have an ipod classic original and it will not connect to itunes for me to sync new music
i have an ipod classic original and it will not connect to itunes for me to sync new music
The first two generations of iPod (that used a standard 6-pin Firewire cable) don't work with Windows. There was a workaound through MusicMatch for the second-gen, but I have no idea if that software is still available, or even if it will install on a modern copmputer (Windows ME, 2000 and XP era).
If instead of original, you mean the first model that got labelled as "classic," with a dock connector, if you describe exactly what appears on both the iPod and the PC screen when you plug it in, somebody might be able to help you. My first recommendations would be to (1)try a different USB cable, to see if that's the problem, and then (2) try synching with a different computer, to see if your PC is the problem. If neither of those result in success, then the community here can help you to try troubleshooting the iPod itself. -
After software Update (2006-07), airport can not connect to the router
Hi,
I installed the software update 2006-07. Afterwards the airport extreme can not connect to the router anymore (NETGEAR). I use a WEP key, but even if I type the WEP Key, the airport does not succeed to the router anymore... I called Apple Care and they wanted that I install the firmware restoration. But even I didn't succeed to install the firmware restoration. On the firmware restoration web page (http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/firmwarerestorationcd12.html) is written that I have to turn on the computer and continue holding down the power button until the LED blinks rapidly followed immediately by a successive series of blinks (3 quick blinks, 3 slow blinks, 3 quick blinks). But after the LED blinks, there is not the successive series of blinks...
I know there is 2 questions in one message, but could you please help?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Eric

After installing windows 7, will not connect to my router
I installed windows 7, 64-bit on my macbook late 2009 model. After installing, it would not connect to my router. However, it did connect under Mac OS X and it also worked with my roommates laptops, but not my macbook running windows 7. I searched everywhere and could not find a solution. Tried updating drivers (updated to bootcamp for windows 64 bit, 3.1 and then 3.2). Tried setting it up manually. Also, did not work. Does anyone have any solutions for this? It seems a lot of people are also having this issue.
For wired or wireless if you have not already done it,
1) Remove router cable from Modem,
2) Unplug Router power,
3) Unplug Modem power,
4) Wait a few minutes
5) Replug Router power,
6) Replug router cable to Modem
7) Replug Modem power
Also router may in combo with more modern (if wireless?) PC have security (password setup) requirement.

IMac will not connect to LinkSys WRT54G
Greetings all:
I'm new to Macs as of about 2 hrs ago. I've been a PC geek for too long. I have a home network set up with a wired PC and a a wireless laptop PC, and I just took delivery of my new iMac. It will recognize my network (and a few others) but will not connect to it. The iMac won't connect, stating that the password is incorrect. Not really sure how to proceed. I've read through a bunch of posts, and it sounds like most people are able to connect, and then have occasional disconnects. The router is up to date re: firmware. The router is too far away from the iMac to connect an ethernet cable to.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
iMac Core 2 Duo 2.33 - 2 GB Mac OS X (10.4)Welcome to Discussions, Kayexalate!
I assume you mean that during the "Welcome" setup process you were denied access. That is always the case if you're trying to join a "closed" network. Even for other reasons it's possible to get that message. First, open the Application "Internet Connect" and set it to "Show AirPort status in menu bar" and then close and quit Internet Connect.
Use the "AirPort" beam icon in the menu bar to Turn AirPort On, and if, as you found, it will not connect - open and select "Other..." and in the box that opens, first use the "Wireless Security:" selector to duplicate your network's security method and then enter the name and password of the network. Click the "OK" button and that should allow the connection, as well as (due to the default settings in place) enter your network as a "preferred network" in the "AirPort" pane of the Network panel of System Preferences.

Airport will not connect to wifi - time out
Hi, I have an iMac that will not connect to my network. I get the greyed out network signal in the menu bar. When I try to connect to my network (it has a black network signal icon) it asks for the password and then times out trying to connect.
The modem is working because I can connect with my MBP.
I have re-booted, repaired permissions, booted, deleted com.apple.airport.airportutility.plist, re-booted.
No luck.
The internet connection cutting out has been happening for a while - it usually comes back after a restart.

IPhone will not connect to Linksys WAG54G Wi-Fi
I can not get my iPhone to connect through my wireless router. I have even tried a reset on my router. My laptop works fine, but my iPhone will not connect. I can see the connection, but i get an 'Unable to join the network' message each time i try to connect.
Nothing on the phone can be changed to make it work unless a Software update was released to fix whatever was preventing a proper connection.
Can you connect to any WiFi networks at all? If so then it does isolate it to something with the router.
Based on what you said. You go to Settings - WiFi - You see your network, Tap on it. And Unable to Join?
So you never get a check-mark by the network name?
If you do actually get a check-mark next to your network, tap on the Blue circle. Would be interesting to see what the IP address started with.
Based on what you said when you disabled security, Did the iPhone no longer show a Padlock next to the WiFi network?
Also try changing the SSID sometimes that oddly works. -
Original iPhone & iPhone 3G will not connect to IMac G5 after iTunes update
I downloaded iTunes 9 update and when I went to sych iPhones, they will not connect to the iMac. Never had this problem before.
Any input or ideas? Thank you.Here's some ideas: iPhone: Not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
You might have an old iTunes Plug in that's causing a problem. Open iTunes in "safe mode" (without external plug-ins) by holding Command + Option (while opening iTunes). If you find you need to remove a plug in, they are in ~/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug ins.
You might need to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service.

Airport will not connect to wifi (no IP address) router is working!
Hi
I need help. I have had same router for 2 years now and recently my macbook pro has been unable to connect or stay connected to internet. It either states connection timeout or no IP address. I have just come bak form mac store where they reinstalled operating system.
Please help - I have also spoken with Netcomm (router company) who confirmed everuthing is ok on their endOP
A much easier advice that basically requires no thechnical skills, go to you nearest "Starbucks", neighbor, office or equivalent. Any place with a WiFi you can access. If you can connect there, the issue is most likely on the router-side of things.

What does the region setting in Language & Text have to do with connecting to or not connecting to a WiFi signal/network?
Well, it should not affect anything. But there is one issue you probably have not seen. I could not get a stable WiFi connection for almost a year, and this solved my problem. According to others here in the forums, this has solved the issue for them as well. It is a software issue, if you change individuall settings in the language formate your region gets set to "Custom". So, if you check your logs while connecting to the router you get a "country code" called X1 to X5, a "spare" code available for non-registered regions. Some routers cannot handle this and the symptom will be that the connection times-out or you keep getting prompted for your password, over and over again. The region should not matter, as long as it is not set to custom "Custom" with an "incompatable" router. As you said, as long as you have a "real" region, there is no issue. While connected through ethernet cable this affects nothing, only WiFi.
But thanks for your opinion...
And the Default IP for most routers on the market is not 192.168.0.x(xx). It is 192.168.1.x(xx). The only time I have seen it different was on Apple Airport products and that is 10.xxx.xxx.xxx.
Well, I don't know what your experience is, but in my book most personal users buy Linksys, Netgear or D-link, all of which has 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1, feel free to check manufacturer info on this. OP: Google manufactorer and/or model AND IP and you'll get the adress you need.
So please follow John Th's advice. Thanks
The last thing I would do is Assign a Static IP address to your WiFi connection. There is a Hardware problem that needs to be fixed. Whether it is on/in your Mac or your router I don't know.
Well, I guess manually accessing your router and re-writing system information is less dangerous than clicking "new" on you locations menu, and it sounds much less complicated... But I agree, if you region is not "Custom" and you can access any other public/available WiFi, listen to John Th. But why would a static IP be "the last thing you would do"? Especially if you add this as a "new location" which can be easily deleted and revert to automatic without issues...
OP
Since I generally tend to take it personally when someone inferrs that I am incompetent, I'll leave this discussion here and stop following/commenting. I whish you the best of luck with solving your WiFi issues.
