We have an old titanium PowerBook that will not connect to our AirPort Extreme network. What gives.

We have an old titanium PowerBook that will easily connect to any WiFi cafe or hotel network, but will not connect to our AirPort Extreme network. What gives.
When the Apple Tec. installed our network for our 3 iMAXs, he couldn't it to connect either. Of course our two iPads have no trouble connecting.
We are also having trouble getting it to upgrade from OS 10.5.8 to 10.6, even though I have a Snow Leopard up date family pack.

What is your Wireless Security setting on the network?  Since you are running Leopard, I may not have the desired answer, but some of the Airport-equipped laptops, like the TiBooks, are said not to support all of the settings.  I have an AE network which supports b and g, with "WPA2 Personal" settings and the TiBooks connect with that one OK with 811.b Airport.
Oh, and no way to upgrade beyond 10.5.8 Leopard for PPC machines like the Titanium G4 Powerbooks, as 10.6 and above require Intel processors.
EDIT: I didn't notice this, but the TiBooks may be connecting with WPA encryption on my network, as I have the following display on my settings:

Yes I have already reset to default factory settings, No we do not have our service encrypted or password protected, anyone else have any other viable suggestions as to how to fix this problem?

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Does the iPod see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iPod connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

  • Toshiba pc will not connect to new airport extreme

    Can not get toshiba pc windows 7 to connect to airport extreme, iPad and MacBook pro will connect
    Any rhoughts

    I have a solution that has worked for me. As I could numerous post on this subject but little in a solution I spoke with Apple Tech Support.
    On your Apple machine open the Airport Utility found in Applications/Utilities.
    Go to the menu bar at the top of the screen and click on Base Station.
    Toggle down to Manual Set Up.
    When open select Airport and click on Wireless.
    Go to Channel, which in my case had defaulted to Automatic and instead change it to say 1.
    Click on Update.
    Fingers crossed, go back to your PC and select the little Network icon at the bottom of the screen and your Apple network should now be showing and click Connect. You should now have internet access on your PC.
    I'll duplicate this as a new post for those not following this thread.

  • My laptops will not connect to my airport extreme

    My airport extreme keeps dropping my iPhone and laptops. Help

    Ok, thanks for clarifying that for me. Is your AEBS the only wireless router used in your current network configuration? Is it an 802.11n (squarish) or 802.11g (dome-shaped) model? Do you live in an area with a high concentration of other Wi-Fi operating nearby ... like in a dorm or apartment complex? Do any of the devices that are experiencing these drop-offs have this problem with other Wi-Fi networks? Do you have a portable phone that operates on either the 2.4 or 5 GHz radio band?

  • I have an old ipod classic that will not show up on my mac or itunes?

    i purchased an older ipod classic, my cousin bought it for me for my b day. he even put songs on it from his computer for me. it gave him no issues. but my new mac book pro does not recognize it. it does not show up on the computer or on itunes. i don't know what to do! it shows up on all my cousin's computers but mine. i feel like mine must be missing a file that allows my mac to see it. when i connect it to my mac it says the disk you inserted was not readable by this computer.

    Hello there, bayoudure.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for trouleshooting issues with your iPod not being recognized by your Mac:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X - Apple Support
    Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
    If you haven't connected your iOS device to this computer before, unlock the device and tap Trust. Learn more about the Trust This Computer alert.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Restart your Mac.
    Make sure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Install software updates on your Mac.
    If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.
    Check USB connections. iOS devices need USB 2.0 to work properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, check the computer's specifications.
    Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac. 
    Try another USB cable.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • I have a 3rd generation ipod that will not connect. I keep getting an error message that says "USB Device Not Recognized".  I have tried 3 seperate cables and none of them are working.  Please help!

    It keeps telling me that one of the USB devices for this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it.  I have tried all of the ports and still am not having any luck.  I have purchased 3 brand new cables and none of them are working.  I have tried to update the driver but it says I am using the most up to date.  I have tried to reset the Ipod by holding the center button and menu button until the apple appears.  I am not sure what else to try.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  My computer is Windows Vista!

    Hello butterflygirlie,
    Have you tried uninstalling the driver for your iPod from within Device Manager?  After uninstalling it, go ahead and unplug your iPod and plug it back in.  Doing so should cause your system to locate the proper driver for it.

  • OK, I need to be able to have a linked TOC, and also have destinations created in FM10 that will not be lost when I 1. Save the book as a PDF. then 2.  need the PDF to be as small as possible, but without losing my destinations. Anyone know how to do that

    OK, I need to be able to have a linked TOC, and also have destinations created in FM10 that will not be lost when I 1. Save the book as a PDF; then 2. I need the PDF to be as small as possible, but without losing my destinations. Anyone know how to do that??
    I had been saving as a PDF and then reducing the size of the PDF by printing it as a PDF with a degree of image compression. I write manuals with a LOT of screen captures and line art that needs to be clear. So it is a balancing act between image clarity and PDF size. The PDFs on the web need to be smaller - sure you can undertsand.
    Anyway, when I print the PDF again, I lose both my destinations and bookmarks.
    Anyone know of any way to avoid that?

    Control the images by creating a custom PDF Job Options and then selecting it in the PDF Job Options drop-down of the PDF setup dialog box (File > Save as PDF...)
    Create the custom PDF Job Options file with Distiller. If you do not have Distiller, open the Printing Preferences of the Adobe PDF printer. Start with the Smallest File Size Job Options settings and Edit.

  • If I have an old iPhone 4 that is not factory unlocked how could I unlocked? Don't want any anymore to jailbreak it

    If I have an old iPhone 4 that is not factory unlocked how could I unlocked? Don't want any anymore to jailbreak it

    I have looked around here. And I've actually in person helped a number of people clear a jailbreak from an iPhone and they work fine. The OPs biggest hurdle is likely to be the process of obtaining an unlock from the cell provider.
    The mistake many people make is waiting to Restore until the unlock is approved. They should Restore prior to even getting the unlock approval then do it again after they receive it.
    As most people know who have been here awhile we see the ones who have problems, not the ones who have successfully done the process.

  • I have a new iPod touch that will not turn on, nor will it connect to iTunes.  Any suggestions?

    I have a new iPod touch that will not turn on, nor will it connect to iTunes.  Any suggestions?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I have a photo on iPhoto that will not transfer to my iPhone.  the picture is on a albumn in iPhoto on my mac and when I sync my iPhone it transfers all except that one picture?????

    I have a photo on iPhoto that will not transfer to my iPhone when it is synced???? Is there something wrong with the photo? the rest of the pictures in the albumn transfer just fine.

    We have no way of telling from the information you give.
    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 10 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

    I have purchases on my iphone that will not transfer to itunes. Why?

    Do they not copy over via File > Transfer Purchases ? I assume that the account that you bought them with is authorised on your computer's iTunes ?
