Leopard 10.5.2: Airport doesn't do DHCP any more!

Hi, I am running Leopard 10.5.2 on my G4 Powerbook (Version 5,6)
At my home wireless network I have been successfully using Airport for 3 years, I but now I have a problem:
My Airport does not connect any more (it did before with 10.5.2) to the Wireless Router (Netgear Wireless ADSL Modem Firewall DG834GB) Router via DHCP - my Airport connection claims to have a self choosen IP with some strange subnetmask (255.255.0.0) and therefore I don't get access to the Internet.
I have checked with another iBook G4 running 10.4.x that everything is working. as expected.
My current solution is to enter a static IP altogether with some DNS-server information like:
192.168.0.4
255.255.255.0
192.168.0.1
and DNS server adresses not shown here from my university
So to sum it up:
my Networking Preference Pa(i)ne claims to have DHCP configured for Airport, but shows a self-chosen IP number with a strange subnet (255.255.0.0).
I only can access the Internet by configuring a manual IP with some extra DNS server addresses.
Any ideas?
Any preference file I should try to trash?
Where can I find the network config files to post them here?
cheers,
akrsten

Thanks for the help and sorry for the delay, been too busy and WIFI still worked, but now I really want to use airdisk and my printer. I resetted multiple times. When I reset, airport utility app detects the airport extreme, but hangs on reading the configuration.
So I switched to a windows laptop and Windows had no trouble finding the airport extreme, nor configuring the airport. I set the channel to 9, but no use. Pretty desperate right now, maybe I should switch to Windows to use apple hardware? Another strange thing is that I have the same problem from Windows on my macbook (running VMWare Fusion). Maybe this is an hardware issue, but I have no problems with WIFI, just with the configuration of my airport extreme.
kind regards,
Pieter

My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more.

My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more. Was working while watching a movie but when I pulled it out from the computer and put it back in the system would no longer mirrorr the screen on the TV.

The best option is an appointment at an Apple store genius bar. The evaluation will be for FREE!
Ciao.

Hossein,
As Guido said, you can use BootCamp to partition the drive. If you want to install, or reinstall Windows. You would launch BootCamp and it will actually guide you through the installation, you will only need to decide how large a partition you want. I would use BootCamp, I would not use disk utility. When you have installed Windows and you want to boot into windows, when you start your MBP hold down the option key, this will give you trha option of booting Mac OSX or Windows.

After Win 8.1 update - Lenovo System Update defective (doesn't find updates any more)

Lenovo System Update tells me that all is up to date!
I searched at Lenovo for new drivers for windows 8.1
They asked me exactly what notebook I use. For the x1 carbone 3460-4LG (checked 3 times because I couldn't believe it) they discribed my computer as:
i7-3667U(3.2GHz), 4GB RAM, 256GB Solid State Drive, 14in 1600x900 LCD, Intel HD Graphics, Intel 802.11agn wireless, WWAN, 1Gb Ethernet, UltraNav, Secure Chip, 4c Li-Ion, Win8 Pro 64.
My notebook has 8GB RAM, 180GB SSD and (as I believe) no carbone x1 has 1GB Ethernet, because it has no network connector at all!
So first question: can I believe the suggestions of lenovo for new drivers?
There are several drivers released in October 2013 that I surely do not have already installed.
That means, Lenovo System Update doesn't work any more, without error message!
Question two: Has Lenovo a solution to repair their defective updater? Or will they release a solution?
Very disappointed regards.
Alex

Another Workaroung wich could help is the Tool DriverEasy. It does scan yours system and shows you all missing Driver. The missing driver can be downloaded or directly installed.
For me it found every missing Driver on different Lenovo Modells. The only thing to use it as Full Service, is you have to buy it for i think about 30 $.

IPod Touch 1st generation doesn't sync notes any more

I have a 1st gen iPod Touch and 2 iPhones (4 and 4S). I use the iPod mainly for the gym, so I write my routines on the notes app. Now that I have updated my Mac to Mountain Lion and notes are out of Mail app, they don't sync. Does anybody know if there is any way to fix it? As iOS 3 doesn't have iCloud it looks imposible because the option to sync it dissappeared from iTunes.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Oops... I was afraid of it but I thought there should be any way that Apple reconsidered to do the change back.
Thank you very much, you've been really usefull.

I'm using a PC that has his my relative's old Thunderbird email account loaded on. He doesn't need it any more. How do I swap it over into my name?

I have taken over use of my elderly relative's PC (Windows 7). He had a Thunderbird email account set up but he will no longer need it. I have tried deleting the Thunderbird programme from the PC and then loading it up agaiun but my Uncle's memail account details are still there. Is there a simple way to change his account details over to one under my own name?

see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/glossary-terms-including-types-accounts?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Types-of-Accounts#w_mail-accounts here ]for explanation of IMAP and POP. Even though it is a little long, it was a basic as I could make it.
The warning is safe to ignore. We have some people working on Thunderbird with a very German view of security and privacy. It works out well for making Thunderbird secure and safeguarding privacy. Not so well for warnings people do not understand.
In this case the warning is telling you your user name and password as well as all your mail is going to and from the server as plain text, so if someone wanted to they would have no trouble sniffing the traffic to read your mail or get your login credentials. ISPs did it this way in the past as a matter of course, as it reduces support calls and they claim the traffic is only internal to their network. Not a good argument given that Google and Yahoo as well as Microsoft are all taking steps to ensure all internal traffic is encrypted.
But knowing the risk, ignoring the warning is not really an issue. Most mail after all is the most boring read to anyone else. However if your a Doctor or a scientist doing secret research then plain text email is not really going to cut it anyway.

Adobe Connect Desktop - just doesn't download recordings any more...

Hi all,
Has anyone had issues since the upgrade of this?
I have made the recordings downloadable in all places thru the adobce connect admin area, but when using the desktop client evcewn though i am able to search for the file i am not however able to download it.
The recording does appear in the download queue but does not initiate. This is just unacceptable.
Part of the service is to be able to playback the meeting recordings and while i know i can do this online, it would also be useful to USE ADOBE'S PRODUCTS TO VIEW ADOBE'S BESPOKE RECORDINGS (Since they are not available in any other downloadable format, wouldn't midn so much if it just worked for once without issues.)
Add this to the whole "Adobe Presenter - the worlds most unstable and bugged out piece of software ever"
Come on Adobe, whats happening to your stuff?!?

Adobe Connect Desktop is no longer supported with Connect 9. However, it should still work. Also, be sure that the recording has been set to allow local downloads.

IPod Photo still rules! But, itunes doesn't recognize it any more...

Hi iPod Photo fans and experts,
I have an iPod Photo 30 GB model that I just restored, and now I can't get it to show up in the iTunes source list. For the record I am running Windows XP SP2, and iTunes 10. And, I have tried this on two different machines with this same setup with the same result.
The weird thing is, after restarting windows, when I plug in the iPod Photo, the ipod will open itunes automatically. But, itunes will not recognize it. itunes still recognizes my other ipod classic with no problem.
The ipod photo shows up as a usb drive, and is recognized in Windows explorer.
The ipod itself is running V 1.2.1.
I tried the 10 steps listed in the apple support section related to this issue, including reinstalling itunes. I also tried plugging in the ipod in disk mode.
Is there anything else I can try? Is there any way to update the ipods firmware without itunes?

Whenever I plug in my ipod the window comes up asking what I want to do with my music. When I click Itunes it says: IPodService Module has encountered a problem and needs to close.
Did this start happening after you updated to Service Pack 3?
If so, open your Device Manager. (Right-click "My Computer", select "Manage", click "Device Manager".) Is your Device Manager currently completely blank?
When Device Manager is blank after an SP3 install, getting Device Manager displaying correctly again should also fix the "iPod Service Module" crash.
For a manual method of fixing the SP3 problem, see the following Microsoft document:
Device Manager and Network Connections may be blank after you install Windows XP Service Pack 3
For an automated tool for fixing the problem, see the following Symantec document:
Problems occur after installing Windows XP Service Pack 3 or Windows Vista Service Pack 1 with a Norton 2008 product installed

Mouse scroll ball doesn't launch Dashboard any more

I have my scroll ball button on my mouse set in System Preferences to start Dashboard. In the last day it has quit working. Anyone have any ideas what I can do to get it working again? It still works for scrolling and when I press it it starts a menu that launches:
Start in Spotlight
Start in Google
Look up in Dictionary
Cut
Copy
Paste etc...
Thanks,
Roger

Someone knows why iMessage in iPad doesn't send message any more.

I usually used iMessage in my iPad, but now it does not send messages.
Someone knows how to fix it?

If a Rest does not work [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!......
Then see this link and substitute iMessage for Face Time! https://discussions.apple.com/message/18217477#18217477

New car doesn't have cd any more

I am copying an audio book onto my Mac. I have to do this, as new car does not have a cd player. 1) Is there an easy way to copy and put on an SD or an iPhone 6? 2) After copying all the discs forth audio book, is there a way to consolidate them into one file, so that it will play through continuously?
3) Is there a way the download will show on the screen of the car what chapter is playing, so that you can continue it at a later time?
Thanks for any and all help.

1. Import the CD to iTunes. Then you can either sync to your iPhone or drag the files to an SD card.
2. Not with iTunes. That could be done with an audio editor but is not worth the trouble.
3. If the book is in properly labeled tracks, the car player will display the information.

Nothing happens when I click on send link & I have changed my mail app. For some reason it just doesn't do anything any more when I click on it. I click & nothing happens.

When I click on send link under file or even when I right click on the main page & scroll to send link nothing opens. I have my mail settings under tools & app set properly but still nothing happens. I can send anything with send link

Java 6 doesn't accept enum any more?

This code below worked well in Java 5 (1.5.x) but when I moved to Java 6 (1.6.x) it didn't work any more:
package com.test;
//socket protocol
public enum eSK_ACTION {
     SK_PRESENCE,
     SK_PRESENCE_YES,
     SK_ECHOTEST,
     SK_ECHOANSWER,
     SK_STARTMSG,
     SK_ENDMSG,
     SK_MSGDONE,
     SK_STOP
//end of fileCould you tell me if it's intentional in Java 6, please? And if it's so, please tell me how to use it equivalently in Java 6?
Thanks in advance.

I know, I know. This duplicated post is by accident. I intended to edit the title and posted, but my network is tooooo slow, that I didn't see it's posted. Sorry for that.
Forum's Mod, please delete this thread for me. Thanks!
