After reinstall of OS on iBook G4, getting an AirPort error when trying to connect to wireless network

Just erased and reinstalled the OS (Tiger OS X v10.4) on my old iBook G4 so I could give a wiped clean laptop to my young son. At the point in the reinstall process where I Select a Wireless Service. When I enter the correct password for my correctly selected home wireless network, it responds with a message box that says, "AirPort error. There was an error joining the selected network." What now? Should I just select "My computer does not connect to the Internet" so I can get past this point? But the fact is, connecting to the internet is about the only thing he's going to use it for. Aaaaarrrrgggghhhh! Please help! All advice welcome...

Thanks for your response, but the initial problem is that I'm still stuck in the set-up process. I can't move past this screen to get to anything else unless I can get it to accept my wireless network password, or I suppose I could go back one screen to the "How Do You Connect?" screen and select "My computer does not connect to the Internet." I presume that might get me past this set-up phase into an area where I could futz around with settings. But I was concerned about disabling something I couldn't fix later (me, not a techie!) by selecting that. What's the consensus? Should I just do that so I can get out of the set-up process? Will I be able to reactivate my AirPort once I'm just in operating mode? I really should be more technically proficient than this...

  • Keep getting sync service error when trying to connect my iphone 5S.

    Keep getting sync service error when trying to connect my iphone 5S. It freezes itunes and I can't do anything else. I see that there is an update for my phone and I need to back up, upload new apps, etc before installing. I plug my phone in and get this error every time. I am using a Win 7 SP1

    Howdy Susie48825,
    It sounds like you are getting an error that mentions the sync services when you connect your phone to your computer and so you cannot sync your device. I would use the troubleshooting from the following article that  mentions an error regardign the sync services named:
    iTunes for Windows: "Unable to load data class" or "Unable to load provider data" sync services alert
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2690
    Start with these steps:
    1. Check that iTunes is up-to-date
    Ensure that you have updated to the latest version of iTunes.
    2. Reset Sync History
    Resetting your Sync History is a simple step which may resolve some syncing issues. If this works, iTunes will prompt to Merge or Replace the information on your device when you next attempt to sync. To reset your Sync History:
    Disconnect your device.
    Open iTunes.
    From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
    Click the Devices tab.
    Click the Reset Sync History button, and then reconnect your device.
    If this resolves the issue, and you know all of your contacts, calendars, bookmarks and notes are on your computer:
    Reset the Sync History again using the steps above.
    Select the device in iTunes and click the Info tab.
    Scroll down to the Advanced section, and under "Replace information on this iPhone/iPad/iPod touch" select Contacts or Calendars.
    Click Apply.
    If the issue persists, and you know all your contacts, calendars, bookmarks and notes are on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
    Remove all of the contact and calendar information from Outlook.
    Select the device in iTunes and click the Info tab.
    Scroll down to the Advanced section, and under "Replace information on this iPhone/iPad/iPod touch" make sure Contacts and Calendars are not selected.
    Click Apply.
    There are additional steps to use in the article if needed, but these will get you started.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • I get "wrong password" error when trying to connect to a Wifi network.

    Only workarround is to reset network settings before changing to any wifi network. This is a pain. Please help!

    It's any network. If I reset network settings, I can connect at home, but I get the "wrong password" but not at work. Then, if I reset it again, I can conect at work, but not at home.
    Only way to switch Wifi network is through a "reset network settings" operation.
    On my wive's iPhone 5 this problem does not exist. She can commute seemlessly among WIFI networks.

  • Getting Error when trying to connect to the Primavera database. PPM V7 SP3

    Hi Guys,
    Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'mailService' defined in class path resource [com/primavera/bre//com/primavera/bre/integration/intgconf.xml]: Invalid destruction signature; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.support.BeanDefinitionValidationException: Couldn't find a destroy method named 'destroy' on bean with name 'mailService'
    I have looked into the intgserver.jar under P6IntegrationAPI/lib and looked the com.primavera.infr.srvcs.MailServiceImpl.java and can see that there is no destroy method whereas it is defined in the com.primavera.bre.intergration.intgconf.xml as below

    I get the above error when trying to connect to the Primavera database. I use PPMV7 SP3 and I have installed the Integration API from EPPMV7 bundle.
    My demo's are working fine.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    can anyone please tell me how to fix it ?
    thanks a lot for your help.
    I am running app on Windows 2000 . P4 3G HZ CPU, 1M RAM

    It's not viruses I was talking about - it was session hijacking and electronic evesdropping. And as far as a browser taking up space....seriously? We're talking MBs here.....
    I use Firefox exclusively, because frankly, I don't like Safari any more than I like IE.....(actually, I really hate IE - despite its being around for forever, it is still not a browser that does much for me).
    But, to each his own. That's not really the point I was making. It's just that we have some very non tech-savvy folks asking questions here, and we need to make sure that the advice we are giving out is not going to increase their risks in any way. I was just trying to be mindful of making sure that we do inform to the best degree possible....
    No offense intended. Hopefully, none taken!

  • I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read"

    I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read". I am able to open pdf files in IE and other programs.

    I am encountering the same problem -- though with .qfx files from my bank. This worked fine in Firefox 31 ESR, but since upgrading to Firefox 33.0, I get the "<name>.qfx.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read" when I attempt to download. (I should add that downloading PDF statements from the same site works fine, and that the qfx downloads work fine in IE and Chrome.)
    I tried safe mode, it is still broken. Tried v34 beta, no luck. I reverted to version 31, it works again.
    I guess I will stick with the older version until a solution is found...or just use an alternate browser to download my financial data.

  • I keep getting a 4000 error when trying to burn discs....only been since the update....Help

    Ever since the Itunes update, I keep getting an 4000 error when trying to burn my music to disc.  How do I fix this?

    Zachy,
    It goes something like this...
    Put your new drive in the enclosure. Use Disk Utility to format it, etc. I'd give it a slightly different name than the original. Let's say you have Old Disk and New Disk as your drive names. Use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy Old Disk to New Disk. Now you should have an exact copy, which you can test by rebooting and holding down the Option key. Choose New Disk from the list and let it boot, make sure all is well.
    Shut down and physically swap the drives. Take Old Disk and put it in the enclosure. Now your system has a new disk with a lot more space and you can reformat your old disk and just use it for large files or whatever.
