802.11n 5ghz Connection Problem with OS X 10.4.11 Tiger

I've searched the communities for answer to this vexing issue to no avail, so I am trying a post.
Situation:
I have a dual-band 1TB TC at home set up with three networks: 802.11g/b/a, 802.11n ((5ghz), and Guest Network (g/b). There are four Macs accessing it: (2) mid-2009 15" MacBook Pros, 2009 MacBook Air, mid-2006 24" iMac. All are running Snow Leopard 10.6.7 except the 24" iMac (Core 2 Duo) running 10.4.11.
All Macs can connect to to all networks EXCEPT the iMac which has a problem with the 802.11n (5ghz) connection ONLY. The iMac has the n-enabler installed (can see it registered when looking at Network Utility). In fact, the iMac will connect but any attempt to access to the Internet or TC disk stalls the system. Switch back to 802.11g and everything is fine.
I've looked at the Console for guidance but cannot find anything problematic (to my eyes, anyway). I booted this iMac to Snow Leopard from an external disk and the problem cannot be duplicated, so I am assuming this is not a hardware issue with the iMac. I also, did a fresh install of Tiger and updated it to 10.4.11 plus all Airport updates and n-ebabler on an external drive, booted from this drive and have the same issue with the 5 ghz n-connection.
By the way, when connected to 802.11n (5ghz) network with the iMac, I have full bars on the menubar fan, but then one bar drops after a minute or so. When this happens, I cannot access the Internet nor the TC disk.
I've tried various tweaks as described in the many, many discussion threads here: resets, establish new locations, clear/repair the keychain, and many others.
I did not have this problem in the past with this iMac, so don't know what has changed with the system configuration. The g-connection is rock-solid, so Internet access is fine, but file transfer speeds ober the network are obviously much slower now than with the 5ghz n-connection.
Anyone have any ideas? Without suggesting an upgrade to 10.6...clearly that should do the trick. I have other reasons for running Tiger on the iMac.
Thanks.

I wonder if all the activity was too much for the hard drive and it failed....you might contact Apple about this repair extension program to see if you qualify...

802.11n (5Ghz) / UK / Performance

Hi,
I have an Airport Extreme upstairs and 2 x Airport Expresses downstairs (one is extending the network, the other is an ethernet bridge).
When I try and setup the extreme as 802.11n (5GHz only) I get dreadful coverage to downstairs (my MacBook and Expresses can't see it at all). I can connect in the same room via my MacBook but that's about it. With b/g compatibility all is fine again but I really want to boost my internet speed to the lounge where the expresses reside (by boosting the household wireless overall).
I saw old posts about changing country so you can use wide channels etc ... and I've tried some other country settings but the same problem with coverage. Is this a UK restriction - the lack of wide channels means a lack of coverage / performance under 802.11n only?
Thanks in advance for any advice ...

Higher frequency 5 GHz signals are absorbed by any obstructions, walls, etc much more quickly than 2.4 GHz signals. You really almost need line-of-sight between the computer and AirPort Extreme because the 5 GHz signals have much less penetration and distance power.

AEBS 802.11n 5GHz gives "invalid password" - need a solution!

After an update to 7.2.1 I've been trying for the past 4 hours to get back on my 5GHz network, but no success. I hope someone can resolve this, because it's getting extremely annoying.
- 802.11n (b/g compatible) 2.4GHz, pass or no pass -> works
- 802.11n only 2.4GHz, pass or no pass -> works
- 802.11n 5GHz, no password -> works
- 802.11n 5GHz, WPA2 Personal pass -> invalid password
I tried everyting. First setting it to b/g compatible at 2.4GHz (when it works in Leopard), then to 5GHz -> invalid password. Added it to my preferred networks, hard reset of the AEBS, downgrade to 7.1.1 and a hard reset, new names for the networks, different passwords, deleted everything from the keychain to avoid any mixups, countless reboots...
No results. I just cannot connect to a 5GHz network, because Leopard claims the password is invalid.
I have no clue what to do next. It worked fine until I upgraded to 7.2.1, and now even when I downgraded to 7.1.1, it still won't work. And 5GHz works fine without a password. But as soon as you set a WPA2 Personal (this or WPA2 Enterprise, which I don't want), Leopard says invalid password.
I also noticed that when I setup a preferred network in Leopard, and insert a WPA2 Personal password, it changes it to simple WPA, without the 2, when I save it. Although this is strange, it shouldn't matter. Because when I setup a 802.11n 2.4GHz instead of 5GHz network with a WPA2 Personal password, it works great with my WPA(no 2)-preferred-network settings.
I'm completely lost here. Who can help me out?
(Just a tip: do not, I repeat, do not ! update to 7.2.1).

Hi guys. "Good" to know we're not the only ones. I reported it also, let's hope an update follows soon.
I still don't know where the problem lies exactly. Mainly because it did work for me in Leopard, after I did a completely clean install last friday. It just picked up the network and it worked. I tried 7.0, 7.1, 7.1.1 and 7.2.1 about 5 times each now. All along with complete hard resets, powerdowns and all the possible settings I could think of, nothing works. First I'd say it's probably the AE firmware, but since nothing works anymore, I'm leaning towards Leopard now...
Maybe the password isn't being sent correctly to the AE, or the respons of the AE doesn't get received properly. There already was a Keychain update right after the release, maybe there are still more updates in that area, and they'll be included with the next big update.
If anyone finds a way to fix it, let us know! I'll keep trying, although I don't think it'll do much good

802.11n 5GHz no longer works on one Macbook

Good evening,
Our household has two Macs connected to an Airport Extreme 802.11n (July 2007), both are MacBooks (Late 2006). For well over a year, both have happily connected to the AE using 802.11n 5GHz. A few weeks ago, however, my wife's Macbook stopped connecting. I've tried a number of things (reconfiguring, restarts, reinstalling the last combo updates, etc.) and the only thing that appears to work is dropping the AE to 2.4GHz (I still keep it at 802.11n-only). My Macbook continues to be able to connect just fine at 5GHz, when I enable that on the AE.
Considering that this drops our available bandwidth from 300Mbps to 130Mbps, I'm not a happy camper, but I'm also tapped out of ideas. I can only guess that there's a hardware malfunction on my wife's Macbook. Her Applecare doesn't expire until 2010, so I may just take it in ...
Any ideas? One note: my wife is still clinging to Tiger, while I'm on Leopard ... in case that matters.
Thanks,
Brice

Not that I can tell. Suspiciously, we did run a salvo of updates from Software Update and the problems started immediately after, but none of those appeared to be directly related to Airport functionality (firmware or otherwise). Just to be sure, I took the "safe" steps of repairing permissions, re-downloading the last combo update & re-applying it. I also searched for any firmware updates related to Airport. What's odd to me is that the firmware reported on her machine is different than that on mine. They're both Late 2006 Macbook models, so that strikes me as odd (but maybe it isn't). I wasn't able to find any updates that her Macbook was lacking, however.
My (working) firmware is: [type] AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x87), [version] 1.4.8.0
Her (not-working) firmware is: [type] AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x87), [version] 1.4.4
Based on the card type, it doesn't appear that they're different chipsets, so I'm not at all clear on why the firmware versions differ. Was there a firmware update for Leopard that wasn't available/needed for Tiger?
Also, I know for sure that there were no firmware updates performed during the last set of updates ... that's a more involved process, if I recall, not handled through the standard updater, I think.
Thanks for the response!

AEBS 802.11n only connects at 54Mbps?

http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/6168/airportwifi1dm6.png
im wondering if this the proper connection speed for the AEBS 802.11n im on wifi so im not connected to my router via ethernet, and im sue a MacPro with a preinstalled AirPort Extreme card.
any suggestion on how to get a faster transfer speed/rate?
thank you very much!

thank you very much for your time.
alright i applied that to the airport i did the 802.11n 5GHz option
and it states in my network utility im connected at Link Speed: 270mb so i'm assuming thats the proper speed?
its been a quite long time since ive messed around with wireless and all that, and im new to the apple wireless hardware.
i mean the connection is fast and great but im just wondering which option is better to use for a faster connection?
thanks again!

802.11n (5Ghz only) network and Remote App.

I have a Time Capsule set up 802.11n (5Ghz only). iMac, MacBook & New Airport Express all connected to its network. Transmit rate is 270.
My question is, if my iPod Touch is g rated only, then how can the Remote App control my Airtunes if it cannot connect to my N network. Because it is.

My Time Capsule
Wireless Mode=Create a wireless network
Radio Mode=802.11n only (5GHz)
My Time Capsule is connected to my Netgear (g only) router via ethernet.
I have the router broadcasting a g network for my iPod Touch. The Macs & AAE or all connected wirelessly to my Time Capsule N-only Network.
So the Touch should not be able to connect to my Airport Express as I understand it.

Connectivity problems with Windows 7

I have connectivity problems with a Windows 7 machine. It's just lose the wireless connection from time to time, usualy "forgeting" Default Gateway. Any ideas? Please not the same machine did work very well on previus router: the problems did start after I installed Time Capsule as the main gateway. Thanks a lot.

Make sure you setup the TC with SMB compliant names.. short .. no spaces.. pure alphanumeric.
Use fixed channels.. not auto. Set a different name for 5ghz so it doesn't get mixed up between bands.
Check you have the latest drivers for the particular wireless card in the PC.. eg if a laptop don't download drivers from the laptop manufacturer.. get the ones from the wireless card.

Cisco Aironet AIR-SAP2602I-E-K9 WAP -ERROR: VLAN 1000 doesn't exist on 'Radio1-802.11N 5GHZ' (see Services VLAN)

Hey guys,
I'm configuring my access points with two SSID's through the GUI. The first is a corporate SSID and the second a guest SSID. The corporate SSID needs to be attached to native VLAN 1000. The guest SSID needs to be attached to VLAN 1234. Both SSID's / VLAN's are to use WPAv2 AES CCMP with a PSK. Although I'm getting an error message indicating that my VLAN's don't exist on ‘Radio1-802.11N 5GHZ’ . Here are steps I take from start to error...
Create SSID’s with no security. CORP not to broadcast. Set CORP to use native VLAN 1000. Set guest to use VLAN1234.
Within security encryption manager > Set encryption mode cipher to AES CCMP on both VLAN 1000 and VLAN1234.
Within services > VLAN check that both VLAN’s have Radio0-802.11N 2.4GHZ and Radio1-802.11N 5GHZ selected. They do.
Within Security > SSID Manager – set client authenticated key management to mandatory, enable WPA – WPAv2. Set pre-shared key. Hit apply > “ERROR: VLAN 1000 doesn’t exist on ‘Radio1-802.11N 5GHZ’ (see Services > VLAN).
I get the same error for both SSID’s. Radio1-802.11N 5GHZ is "checked" against both VLAN's. Am I missing something? Both Radio0-802.11N 2.4GHZ and Radio1-802.11N 5GHZ are enable interfaces and are "up".
I'm pretty customed to switch and router IOS although have absolutely no exposure to WAP CLI.
Any assistance appreciated.

I've resolved this myself. The GUI is basically terrible and very buggy. I used the CLI and was able to add WPA through the CLI.

802.11N on core2duo pro with Airport Extreme - Is it working???

I have everything set-up (loaded software update, enabled 802.11N) and connected the new Airport Extreme. Not sure if I am working on N mode though. Is there a way on my MacBookPro to find out what kind of Airport connection I have? Also, I have a G4 tower with a non-apple wireless G card that works fine, but it is getting a better connection to my Airport Express than the Airport Extreme (they are in same room for now) - wonder if that is normal?

Yes, it works according to this:
Hardmac.com has post a step-by-step guide on how to upgrading a MacBook Core Duo from 802.11g to 802.11n using an 802.11n card from the Mac Pro desktop. The upgrade was also tested and confirmed to work with the AirPort Extreme 802.11n at 802.11n speed.
There is no reason that a similar upgrade shouldn't also work with the MacBook Pro.

IPOD CONNECTIVITY PROBLEM WITH WINDOWS XP VIA USB 2.0

Enough is enough.
I have an ipod touch and I am having difficulty connecting it to my pc via usb 2.0.
I have searched the entire web and came across many cases similar or the same as mine. It's time for apple to face the fact that there is something wrong with either the apple mobile service or the apple usb drivers or the itunes software that causes connectivity problems with win xp.
For the record my case is this:
I got my itouch 3 days ago. I installed itunes 8.0. Then I plugged in my ipod to a usb extension cable port connected to a usb at the back of my desktop computer. At first I got the "this usb device can perform faster if you plug it to a usb 2.0 port etc." message. So I did. I removed the extension cable and connected it directly to one of the usb ports at the back. The first time it synchronized, it seemed fine. So I decided before I do anything with it, to update it to the 2.1 version. I made my account and bought (very bad policy there apple, it should be free or at least cheeper than 8 euro) the 2.1 update. I clicked to update the i-touch. While it was updating it crashed during the restore process (because it was disconnected but I didn't know that at the time). I unplugged it, resetted and plugged it back and managed to continue the restoring process until it was updated. After figuring out itunes I chose the "manage files manually option", kept everything unchecked in the sync options except the applications. I noticed there were random disconnections here and there but I didn't pay much attention because they weren't very frequent.
The next day I plug in the touch again and suddenly I hear that annoying "connecting-disconnecting" sound from windows while my touch kept disappearing and reappearing in itunes. Suddenly my playlists disappeared from the touch. Nothing was in the touch any more. How could that happen since i had chosen to manage my files manually instead of synchronizing? So I unplugged the touch again, restarted the touch, restarted the pc, stopped and restarted the apple mobile service, unistalled and reinstalled itunes, searched microsoft support and read many usb troubleshooting documents in the web. Nothing happened. The touch randomly keeps disconnecting from the usb. I eventually managed to put my stuff back in and keep them there.
Here's what I know:
1) There is nothing wrong with my usb ports. I don't use usb hubs, they are usb 2.0, the voltage (500mA) is correct in the device manager. Everything else works fine there.
2) The ipod touch does not support disk mode so you can't see it under "my computer" and this is not a problem.
3)There is nothing wrong with the ipod, it works perfectly.
4) This is not a usb cable physical problem.
5) The five R's are irrelevant with this situation.
Uninstalling and reinstalling itunes doesn't solve the problem, neither does hard resetting the ipod.
6) Older PC configurations seem to be more affected by this but it doesn't have to do with unsupported specific chipsets.
Here's what needs investigating:
1) There may be a problem with the apple mobile service running on win XP.
2) There may be a problem with the apple usb driver and win XP or older motherboards.
3) There may be a 2.1 firmware issue with usb 2.0 connectivity.
Workaround so you don't go nuts:
Use USB 1.1 instead of 2.0. It is A LOT slower but it keeps the connection stable and you can work with the ipod. Just start copying and go do something else for the next hour. So far it works for me.
This is a serious issue that needs immediate attention. I've stumbled across forum discussions dating to 2005 with this problem (with older ipods of course).

I think this needs to be put down to the eternal PC/Mac argument. Apple dont want to fix this as they want everyone to buy a Mac. Its a business, understandable, but in turning away PC buyers they alienate a huge percentage of the market.
Now, I had my first iTouch stolen. It synced, for the most part, very well, just occasionally it removed settings and music, but ticking boxes each time I sync'd sorted that, Its a workflow procedure.
SO, now that my Touch has been replaced, iTunes cannot see it. The PC can identify it on USB1 or USB2, My work lap top can see it and has indeed upgraded it to V2 software, just in case that was the issue, but no. For some really weird reason Itunes on my desktop cannot see the new pod.
This does not make sense with the argument that Apple software doesnt work on a PC, but doesnt help that none of the Apple support staff, phone or in-store have a clue about Windows operations.
Because my Touch has now been trying to connect to 6 separate installs of itunes, multiple USB ports, multiple USB cables, a complete overhaul of the registry settings (everything else still works), and the loss of all my previous settings and backups from the last Touch... but still, the PC says its an ipod but cant install it, iTunes sits there, dumb.
The only thing I can do now is sell the device as brand new as it has never had music on it and is just a week old...
It has changed the MiniMac I was going to have for my new flat screen TV into a PC and suggests that anyone with a PC should stick to devices that run on PC, of which there are many, just without the user interface of the dear departed IPod Touch.
Thanks

Is there a fix for the connectivity problems with iPhone 5S and ISO 7.0.2?

All worked OK with ISO 6.

Hello CraigNicholson
You would need to sync with iTunes to get that process to work for you. Check out the article below for more information on how to resolve that issue to get the proper token to use Push Notifications again.

Having connection problems with Mail after installing 10.9.4

I upgraded to 10.9.4 a few days ago, and ever since, I've been having connection problems with Mail. First, it stops downloading new mail automatically and second, it won't send any of my messages. When I try to send, I get a message that it is unable to connect.
Quitting Mail and restarting it seems to clear the problem, but then it happens again, maybe an hour or two later.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start Time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Any wifi connection problems with new Macbook Pro 13" models?

I currently use a 15" Macbook Pro (about 3.5 years old) that has intermittent WiFi connection issues (intermittently loses signal). This seems to have been a very common problem with this laptop model. My kids, who use Macbooks, have no connection problems. In any case, I'd love to buy one of the new model 13-inch Macbook Pro's but hesitate because of my many issues with WiFi connectivity on my older Macbook Pro. Just wondering if anyone is experiencing connectivity problems with the new model?

I've never had Wifi connection problems with a Macbook and now with the 13" MacBook Pro I was flabergasted when I took my MacBook down the street to a coffee house with free WiFi. I went to connect to their WiFi and found my own WiFi connection listed. I thought this odd even though I was on the same block as my apartment, my apartment is six stories up. I connected to the Coffee Shop WiFi but it was really slow so I wondered if I could connect to my own home connection. I switched it over and lo-and behold I did connect! It was a good 300 feet away! I NEVER saw this with previously owned MacBooks including the black MacBook and the MacBook offered just before they moved the MacBook up to the Pro series.
So I'd say they have improved the WiFi nicely.
