Is there a way to connect an old Sunflower iMac (OSX 10.4.11) to a new Time Capsule?  It used to work with old Airport Extreme with updates thru Snow Leopard but now seems to only allow WEP encryption instead of WPA.

Is there a way to connect an old Sunflower iMac (OSX 10.4.11) to a new Time Capsule?  It used to work with old Airport Extreme network, run from a intel iMac with updates thru Mavericks but now seems to only allow WEP encryption instead of WPA and can't connect to Time Capsule.  Airport Extreme Base was controllable from either computer up through Snow Leopard (I didn't do any of the Lion upgrades).  Then when I upgraded to Mavericks I lost the ability to use Airport Utility with this hardware on the Sunflower but could still connect wirelessly to network without any problems.  But now with the Time Capsule upgrade the Sunflower is blocked from network by a dialogue that requests ony WEP password, not WPA pwd used by Time Capsule.  Neither can I use the old airport extreme base to extend the time capsule network since I can't input the correct password/encryption approach to join it.  Is there a work around?  Would a newer but old Airport Express be able to extend network to Sunflower?  Or maybe a third party wireless (such as Netgear, Dlink, etc) that has browser type control rather than special utility?
Another question--before I used MAC addresses to control who could access network.  Now on Time Capsule I don't see anything about this--so is it true now that the only access control is via WPA2 pwd now (which appears to be the encryption pwd and not the time capsule pwd)?

I can’t claim to completely grasp the issue(s) you’re describing, but the underlying problem is presumably your iMac’s obsolete AirPort card. Whatever the case, an obvious (if not particularly helpful) answer to your stated question would be to connect your iMac with an ethernet cable, using powerline adapters as an alternative if you don’t want to have wire running all over the place.
My still fully functional clamshell iBook, with an original AirPort card, connects wirelessly to my 4th Generation TC network by means of a cheap 802.11b/g/n USB Wi-Fi adapter. This might be an option for you too.
Another question--before I used MAC addresses to control who could access network.  Now on Time Capsule I don't see anything about this
When you edit your TC's settings the access controls appear under the Network tab, don't they?

  • I upgraded to snow leopard but now I have only 1 GB of storage space?

    It seems like all my files/apps are duplicated or something. I found all my old files, but do I really have to load all my music back in to itunes? Same thing with my photos, I have them all but they aren't showing up into iphoto.

    How did you do the upgrade? 
    If you just installed Snow Leopard, it deletes the previous version of OSX, and installs Snow Leopard, without disturbing anything else.
    If that's not what you did, please explain just what you did.

    the Wifi storage options are interesting but it seems they only allow to read files from the device on the iPad but not transfer files to the storage device via WiFi.
    I'm looking for a possibility to use the iPad for photography while traveling, without the access to a computer.
    Shooting photo's in RAW format crates pretty big files that will fill up the iPad's memory pretty fast if you shoot a lot during a (let's say) month long trip.
    my idea was to use load the photo's to the iPad so i could view them and sort out any bad ones. then copy them over to the storage device so i can continue using my CF cards for shooting. I have an image thank for copying the photo's directly to the HDD but it would be so sweet to be able to check them on the iPad before hand.
    any suggestions?

    Check out pogo plug device, it allows you to upload camera roll via wifi.

    Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again. If the problem remains, update to 10.6.8 and repeat.

  • Updated to snow leopard and now get blue screen

    Hi there,
    I recently updated to snow leopard and now I get blue screen on start-up.
    I manage to get to enter my password and then to my desktop for a few seconds before it flicks back to my login.
    I tried using disk utility from the install disc and it said HD appears to be ok. But it hasn't solved the problem.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks

  • I upgraded to snow leopard but now I have no storage space

    I installed snow leaopard, but now, I only have like 1 GB available. It seems like all my apps and documents are duplicated somwhere. Also none of my photos or music migrated to the itunes or iphoto. I was able to find all my old documents, but do I really have to load them all into itunes/iphoto again?

    With that small amount of free space, you are greatly increasing the chances of corrupting your disk drive. I suggest you use your Mac only minimally until you increase the free space up to 15%. I also recommend that you repair your disk to check it for corruption.
    A tool I find helpful for check what is using disk space is OmniDiskSweeper.
    Do you have Time Machine enabled?
    If you do and the external disk is not connected, Time Machine can save a temporary backup on your internal disk until the external is reattached.

  • Updated to Snow Leopard and now my picture looks bad on my HD TV... help?

    Hey guys and gals.
    So I have a MBP 1.3ghz 15" 4 gb RAM and running Snow Leopard.
    I have always used my DVI to Composite/S-Video adapter to watch movies on TV. I just recently updated to Snow Leopard from 10.4 and for some reason it looks like my resolution is all jacked up. I see that my resolution options have decreased on the video preferences and no matter which one I use I get a real bad blur and sometimes a distorted B&W picture on my tv.
    Any ideas?
    TIA
    A

    Hello. I don't know what part of the world you're in but if you're in North America TVs typically operate on the NTSC format and if you're in another part of the world PAL is used. If you have an option in System Preferences, make sure the appropriate choice is selected.

  • Is there a way to connect PS3 to my iMac 21"?

    HI,
    it seems there is no way to connect my PS3 to the IMac 21"? Anybody can help? Thanks

    Hello,
    I think I read the PS3 only does VGA or such? If that'ds he case no, it'd need a MiniDisplay port.

  • Hello,  I have  upgraded my laptop to lion,  from Snow Leopard,  but now my Music Pad Pro,  program will not work ,   can anyone help?  Thank you.

    Hello,  I upgraded my laptop from Snow Leopard to lion,  unfortunately I have a  2 music programs that no longer work.  one is called the Music PadPro,   which is now gone bankrupt,  can anyone help?.   I was talking to the Apple Store earlier and they said if I upgrade to the mountain lion it may help but I'm not so sure,
    kind regards
    Nigel

    There's no reason that upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion would make this application work.  I've looked up Music PadPro.  I don't know much about it, but it looks pretty old.  Here are the requirements:
    Macintosh G4 or higher processor running Mac OS X Version 10.2.6 (minimum),
    Mac OS X Version 10.3.2 (recommended), or Mac OS X Version 10.4.2.
    Looking at that, I would guess that the application would require a PowerPC processor.  After the release of the Intel machines back in 2006, Apple included something called Rosetta within OS X.  This allowed programs developed for the older architecture (PowerPC) to run on the newer Intel machines.  The reason for this was to give developers some time to upgrade their applications to run natively on Intel processors.  It was only with the introduction of Lion that Apple pulled Rosetta from their OS.  They had basically given developers about five years to upgrade their applications.  Unfortunately, in your case, the developer went belly up.  You can always install an older version of the OS on either a separate partition or an external drive and you can run your program from there.

  • Recent update to Snow Leopard. Now itunes missing any device when connecting..

    I have a Macbook Pro. I recently upgraded my OS to Snow Leopard 10.6.3. Now when I connect any device (Touch, Ipad, Iphone 3gs) via the USB cable, itunes no longer automatically starts nor does it have the Device shown on the left side of the screen. iPhoto auto starts and sees the devices. Have I somehow "hidden" my devices? Any advice would be much appreciated. Along with my devices (phone, ipad and ipod), I manage my kids ipod touches and they want new apps.

    Quit iTunes. Open a Finder window and go to User Name>Library>Preferences. Find the file com.apple.iTunes.plist and take that out to the desktop. Open iTunes. iTunes will act like its the first time that you're opening it but your playlists, play counts, ratings will be intact. See if iTunes recognises the iPod now.

  • Is there a way to roll back ios6? I upgraded before I knew about the new mapping. I used google maps all the time and absolutely hate the new one. Just about everything I've looked for is wrong or missing.

    I hate the mapping in IOS6. Is there a way to roll back to the older OS? When I upgraded I didn't know about the mapping change. I used google maps a lot, for a variety of things. In just a few searches I've found more errors or missing landmarks than anything else. I really hate this app!

    I agree. How can I roll back to the previous OS? Developers, please post a procedure for reverting.

  • Extremely slow internet on Snow Leopard - but not on Windows!

    For the last month or two, my networking has been slow as ****.
    I used to have 100 Mbit/sec, but now I'm down to 3 - 10 Mbit/sec.
    What the heck?!
    Since the day I got my iMac I've had Windows installed through Boot Camp, so I decided to check how it works on Windows, and it actually works.
    What the heck?!
    What could be the problem here? I'm using ethernet, so 8 Mbit is waaay too slow. I'm considering calling Apple Support to see if they have any idea what's wrong.
    If any of you know what the problem could be, PLEASE help me out here :/
    //Filip Bergström

    On the Mac (since Windows doesn't exist here) open System Preferences->Network pane, Advanced button and select the Ethernet pane and make sure the cable select is set correctly.

  • Just updated to snow leopard, and now my quicktime doesn't work?

    I'm not really computer savvy, so if someone can please tell me how to, I don't know, install it? Somehow get it back? I updated from Tiger straight to Snow Leopard... help!!

    Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, [i]or[/i] if specified as part of a custom install, [i]or[/i] individually downloaded.

    Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link  even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
    (Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".)
