After Airport Update... Problems....

Two problems to report after the AirPort Update today:
1) On battery power, when 23% remains it jumps down to random percentages. After two tests, it jumped down to 0% and 19%. When charging, it went from 0% to 30% on the charger for 5 minutes and after a reset. Any ideas what is going on? Otherwise, the battery runs down as normal.
2) AirPort signal is randomly dropping at different times. Thoughts?
Thanks in advance for your help concerning this issue.
Much appreciated....

Can't tell you much about the battery problem but as far as the airport are you talking about the Airport Etreme Security update?
If so, when my signal has jumped all over the place on mIne, I turned Airport off and then turned my modem off and disconected power to my Airport extreme for about a minute. Then I would reconnect and turn my modem back on and restart Airport on my MBP.
Then ithe signal was excellent and no problems.
I hope this helps and good luck with the battery issue.
I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL APPLE FIGURES OUT HOW TO COME UP WITH A BATTERY THAT CAN PERFORM AS WELL AS ITS HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE.

Problems after Airport Update

I own a 2ghz/2gb MBP running 10.4.7. After I installed the latest Airport Update 001, my computer has been acting up. The MBP now has major issues connecting to my graphite airport, though my eMac (10.3.9 w/latest security update) does not have any issues. The graphite airport has WEP enabled, but the MBP refuses to keep the password in the keychain. Everytime I try to connect to my network (upon wake up or start up) I receive an error stating that there is a problem joining the network. After about 10 seconds, though, it connects. Also, it doesn't recognize that the airport is one of my "trusted networks." Before connecting it says, "none of your trusted networks could be found, would you like to join (my network name)."
What I have done so far:
Repaired permissions.
Created a new user (has same problems).
Shutdown and restarted all of my computers/router/modem at least 5 times.
Put the WEP password in the keychain manually.
Changed the Airport's channel a few times as well.
MacBook Pro 15", Powerbook 12" G4, eMac G4 & iMac G3 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

After countless nightmares trying to connect to my home network, and one kernel panic, I zapped the update with AppZapper. No problems after that.
Apple, I'm sorry ,but I think you got this latest SU wrong!

Printer No Longer Connects to Base Station after Airport Update

I recently installed the Airport Update and ever since my printer is no being seen by the Base Station. Before the update everything was working perfectly, now nothing. I've tried every possible solution I can think of with no luck. My printer is an Epson SP2200 and I'm trying to connect to an AirPort Extreme Base Station.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

The firmware is almost certainly the problem.
I have had this exact problem, had a samsung clp-300 working fine on an airport extreme for months, then the whole thing went pair shaped after a firmware update
Go to the link with instructions
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1641516&tstart=0
I have solved my issue with airport and printer loss of recognition. Open Airport Utility and install Firmware 7.2.1 over the top of 7.3.2. Firmware versions are in a simple drop down list. Steps are: 1) Open the 5.3.2 version of Airport Utility 2) Select the Airport Extreme icon in the picture list on the left 3) Click Manual Set-Up button at the bottom 4) Menu "Base Station" -> "Upload Firmware"
5) Select Firmware 7.2.1 from the dropdown list.
I tried this and it worked a treat. The problem is now resolved. I am using 10.5.4 on my iMac, but using 10.4 on a couple of macbooks as well. They are all functioning fine after I got rid of the update

Airport Update Problems-Where's Apple?

I am not here to flame Apple but I know they have Mods on this board that should be able to answer my question.
Is there an official message from Apple on what users like me should do now that my $2000 laptop is no longer useful for me when I travel?
I can not stay connected to any wireless signal for any period of time since the first Airport Update. Obviously, since Apple came out with a second Airport update shortly after, they realize there are problems.
Is is really that difficult for Apple to produce an update that will roll back my laptop to its original state without re-installing the OS?

Since the 2nd last update I haven't been able to connect to WPA networks at all. I just get an error message and that's that. The latest update didn't solve the issue either.
I've made several posts about my problems with the Macbook Pro airport card not working at all, and its problems with Airport Express, but I've never really gotten any good response.
Thanks Apple!

MBP intermittant (broken) wireless with WEP after airport update 2007-003

First, my 24" imac works just fine with the current settings. My MBP hasn't connected to a WEP protected network since the 2007-003 airport update (or maybe 10.4.9, I installed it at the same time).
Checking the console while it's trying to connect:
Jun 22 21:09:31 nates-computer configd[6595]: LINKLOCAL: inet6attachinterface(en0) failed, File exists (17)
Jun 22 21:09:31 nates-computer configd[6595]: LINKLOCAL: inet6attachinterface(en1) failed, File exists (17)

Jun 22 21:09:31 nates-computer configd[6595]: LINKLOCAL: inet6attachinterface(en3) failed, File exists (17)
over and over again until:
Jun 22 21:09:42 nates-computer /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Resources/airport: Error: WirelessAssociate2() = 88001006 for network Nate's Wireless Network. The operation timed out.
The airport icon is turning on while this is happening, then reads the SSID, then disconnects, over and over again.
The keychain was broken after the last update and so was ssh (again!). Those are fixed. But this wireless issue really is a problem for me. The latests updates with 10.4.10 didn't do anything to help out.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks!

Reinstalling OS X from the install DVDs restored wireless connectivity. Then installing software updates didn't seem to break the wireless, or all of the dictionary entries.

Old G4 running 10.3.9 won't boot after Airport update

Hi,
My roommate has an ancient PowerMac G4 / 450 Mhz that runs on 10.3.9. Recently, he installed an Airport update that came up in Software update. When trying to restart, the computer wouldn't boot anymore but got stuck on the grey screen w/ grey apple logo, without any error message.
Does anyone have this problem, too? If yes, are there any easy workarounds? As of now, I am planning to boot from my 10.3 Install disk and try to restore the system, hopefully without losing any of his data.
If you have any suggestions / comments, I'd be very grateful.

Welcome To  Discussions rabatjoie!
"...PowerMac G4 / 450 Mhz..."
That would have to be a G3, not a G4.
Is this the model Apple Power Macintosh G3 450?
What size is the Hard Drive, and how much space is available?
How much RAM is installed, and is it original or added?
Is the Mac shutdown overnight, or does it run 24/7?
Have any routine Maintenance procedures ever been run?
What peripherals are connected? A keyboard, mouse, printer, external drive or modem, router, etc?
"...planning to boot from my 10.3 Install disk..."
Why not use your roommate's Panther 10.3.x discs?
Are those available?
Is your version a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs?
The discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.
If your discs are Model Specific or Upgrade discs, they will not work to do an Archive & Install of Panther 10.3.x, on the PowerMac 450 Mhz.

Can't send mail after AirPort update

After I installed the latest AirPort update, I can no longer send emails through Mac Mail but I can still receive them. I can send emails if I plug my MacBook directly into the cable service router through the ethernet port. According to my ISP (Cox), I have Mail configured to work properly. Is there a setting on the AirPort that I need to change?

The error message says:
"The sender address [my email address] was rejected by the server smtp.east.cox.net.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be delivered."
There is only one server I can use. There is a button for the Connection Doctor, and that shows all green lights.

MacBook Pro & Latest Airport Update Problem

Hi, I just ran the software update and installed the latest Airport update - AirPort Extreme Update 2008-001 for Tiger , and it's conflicting with my system, giving me CPU spikes...everything was fine before I installed the latest update. Is there a way I can go back to what was previously there? How do I install the older Airport files?

If you don't have a backup you can restore, then the only way to revert to your previous system is the following:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

Airport connection, Keychain access after Airport Update 2007-003 & 10.4.9

Not sure what to do here.
I installed the Airport Update 2007-003 and the 10.4.9 update simultaneously. After restarting my computer it would connect to my home (WEP) wireless network but would disconnect suddenly.
I had a suspicion it was the Keychain. I tried to open Keychain access, and it just crashed immediately and every time thereafter.
I turned of WEP and connected to the network just fine.
Any ideas? Is there any way to reinstall Keychain access while retaining the keychain?
Many thanks in advance!

I just repaired the permissions on my Powerbook G4 (which does correctly connect to the router) and found that the same permissions required fixing. Here's the repaired permissions report:

Shared hard drive disappearing after airport update

My shared hard drive attached to my airport extreme will mount but afterwards gives me the error message "The alias “xxxxxx” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found." Also the drive is listed under my shared section in the finder window but when selected gives a share-point icon and doesn't allow access. This has been occurring after the airport utility update. Any information would be greatly appreciated....and I just got the access via the internet working and now this - bummer.
workaround: I have found that selecting the drive in the finder window then deselecting and selecting a second time will give me access to the drive but thats a pain in the rear.

"It will not let me verify the drive" means that I am unable to verify the drive.
Today, I installed the security update on my 24" intel imac, that I've owned since April. I restarted the machine. Up came the folder icon with the question mark. I restarted a second time and the same thing occurred. I then inserted the installer disc that came with the computer and I was able to start up the computer that way. Using the Disc Utility, I attempted to verify or repair the hard drive, but all those options were ghosted ("it will not let me verify the hard drive") Also, while there, I saw that the hard drive partitions were not recognized: there were two partitions (1: 500GB; 2: 198GB) but now it was registering a single drive at 698GB of 750.
I then called Apple support. We reset the PRAM. We did a hard drive test (restart holding "d") and that test produced no error. We then tried unplugging all peripherals, including the power supply, and letting it sit for a few moments. The imac restarted to the same results. Finally, the tech suggested attempting an archive install, which was not available as an option. Further, the install disc did not detect an available hard drive for installation, so the option to reinstall the OS was not an option, either.
The tech said my only option is to take it in for service, leaving me unable to work for four to five days (if I'm lucky), as they won't get to it until Monday, and even then they're backed up.

After Effect update problem

Hi, I have problems updating the last version of After Effect via Creative Cloud.
It starts the download but after a while it stops.
I found this window with an error message.
In italian it says:
Errori durante l'installazione.(U44M1P7)
In english should be.
Errors during installation.(U44M1P7)
Any ideas?

System won't start up after Software Update problem

I turned on the computer and ran Software Update. iTunes and others successfully updated, but there was a problem with the Quicktime update. The system required a restart to complete installations, so I did. The circle of lines was running around and around, but then blank screen and frozen cursor. I attempted to power down and restart, but to no avail. I restarted holding the Shift key and it loads up. I repaired priveledges and restarted. Still will not start up. Please, help me.

You say that "it loads up" when you start with the shift key down. I assume that you mean the system boots up okay. If so, you are successfully starting up with a Safe Boot.
According to Apple's KB article on What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?, the Safe Boot is doing the following:
- It forces a directory check of the startup volume.
- It loads only required kernel extensions (some of the items in /System/Library/Extensions).
- It runs only Apple-installed startup items (some of the items in /Library/StartupItems and /System/Library/StartupItems).
The main goal of the Safe Boot is to repair the disk (filesystem) and to disable a variety of 3rd party extensions and startup items in the 3 folders listed here. Since you cannot startup normally after the Safe Boot, it seems that the disk repair did not fix the problem. So, most likely, you have some item in one of the 3 folders that is causing you trouble. Sometimes a 3rd party item is not compatible with an Apple upgrade and startup problems can occur after the upgrade.
So, a troubleshooting strategy would be to start back up in Safe Mode and then to inspect these folder for some item that looks suspicious to you. One approach is to look at 3rd party items that have been recently installed. If you find something that you suspect, drag it onto the desktop and then try to restart normally. If you are able to reboot normally, you have found the problem.
I hope this helps.

Equium A210 - after BIOS update problems signing into MSN Live Messenger

Hi
I have just installed the latest Bios update for my Equium A210, as this was the first time \i have ever attempted this \i watched carefully and all appeared to go correctly but, when the notebook restarted, it beeped and showed a checksum error, I chose the option to restart with 'Default Settings'
Since doing this I have had problems signing into MSN Live Messenger and wondered if this could be something to do with the Bios update, also is it possible to 'go back' to the old Bios somehow?
Thanks
Widdy

Hi there,
your issue is actually not an machine related problem. The "Checksum Error" is normal after every BIOS update since the checksum of the BIOS which consists the the BIOS settings and the BIOS version is not correct due an altered BIOS version.
So, next time you update your BIOS you will get a "BIOS checksum error" again. Dont worry, its nothing serious.
Regarding your Messenger:
1. Uninstall the messenger
2. Download the latest version from the MSN site
3. Install the new one
4. Have fun

After ICS update problems typing when plugged in, and battery life shortened, also Dolphin browser runs slow.

I did the update and even did a factory reset, and I am having
problems typing when plugged in to the wall charger, I get random keystrokes,
from all over the keyboard, not just the keys around the one i want to press.
Dolphin browser is running supper slow, especially when on Facebook. The
battery life has lost at least an hour.

Phones will do that when plugged in, esp with cheap chargers.. it has to do with the voltage and coveting and the digitized screen. You can google if you want more indepth there
clear data out of dolphin,check for update? also read comments on the app maybe it sucks on ics
battery stats got erased when you did a factory reset, give it a few charge cycles
