Airport can't see my router from my Cube.

I am reposting this on this forum as I have not had a response so far. Apologies.
I have two G4 PowerBooks, a G4 Cube and a PlayStation 3 all connected wirelessly to my BTBOYAGER 2091 router. Yesterday my G4 Cube awoke from sleep and the AirPort status bar appeared greyed out. I was able to re-establish the wireless link a couple of times via Network Diagnostics, but now the AirPort card fails to recognise the router. The other two PowerBooks and the Playstation 3 recognise the router and all work fine. I have tried deleting the SystemConfiguration folder and re-booting, repairing permissions and deleting the router keychain, but nothing restores AirPort or Network settings and let's it 'see' the router. I have the Cube connected to the internet via the ethernet link to the router and I have access to the internet. From Network Diagnostics I get the following report on screen: -
Network Status
AirPort - green light
AirPort Settings - red light (Failed)
Network settings - red light (Failed)
ISP - green light
Internet - green light
Server - green light
I have searched through the forums and can't find a thread, so I thought I would post my problem and ask if someone can help me restore my AirPort and Network settings, if indeed that is the problem. I have a screenshot of the Network, Network Diagnostics and AirPort windows showing the problem visually. I can email the screenshot on request.
I would be grateful for any help.
With thanks

Thanks for replying to my problem. Since posting my original thread, the Cube's AirPort status bar has re-appeared for no apparent reason on about 4 occasions. Each time I put the Cube to sleep and re-awakened it, the status bar again greyed out each time. This morning after awakening the status bar became visible after a couple of minutes. I immediately checked the DHCP table in my router's software configuration manager. The AirPort card and Ethernet's, MAC and IP addresses were both listed. I left the Cube running for about 20 minutes, put it to sleep, awakened it and the status bar was (is) greyed out once again. Armed with the IP address I tried configuring the TCP/IP settings manually (I entered the IP address displayed by the router for the AirPort card) but unfortunately I am back to square one. I am considering de-fragmenting my drive using TechTool Pro 4 and then rebuilding my directories using DiskWarrior. I have to optimize the drive since DiskWarrior reports that my HD doesn't have enough contiguous space. I have a small 20GB LaCie drive on which I will install TechTool Pro and optimize it from there. I was going to create an e-drive partition, but the program was de-fragging space for the e-drive to occupy and it was taking hours to do it. I hope that optimizing from the LaCie works. If all else fails I will wipe the HD and re-install everything. I don't want to do this but I might not have any choice. I still hope that someone might come up with a solution.

Powerbook G4 Can't "See" Wireless Signal from Ubee Modem/Router

I was given a G4 Powerbook while out of town and it found the wireless signal in an apartment complex and a major airport just fine. But upon returning home it can't "see" the signal from my (Time Warner, Road Runner Extreme) Ubee modem/router. My Mac Mini's Airport sees the Ubee wireless signal fine, but the older Powerbook G4 can't. (The Airport signal in the menu bar has "bars" but they are grayed out.
Can an older G4 connect with the newer Ubee modem/router? Are there security settings that will allow this?
Tx,
WK

CRMDVM -- Thanks for the helpful info -- you are probably right on both counts:
The apartments where I picked up a signal is in an "old folks" apt. complex, meaning the router I was picking up was probably old -- compatible with the G4 lineage. And the Atlanta airport probably has a wireless system to allow the vast number of old and new computers that people carry to connect.
My Mac Mini connects via WPA2 Personal security code, and I set the G4 to the same security (in the Network preference pane) but still nothing. The Airport wireless icon in the menu bar is still grayed out -- it isn't the "blank" icon as when Airport is turned off. It has the wireless wave lines in the icon, but just grayed out.
Maybe the G4 is just too old to "see" the newer wireless signal from the new modem/router.
Thanks again for your help -- you definitely provided more than I knew. (btw, I'm just above you in Union County in Stallings).

G4 (MDD) with AirPort Can't See/Won't Connect to Wireless Networks

Hi all. I've seen topics/threads that get close to my question/problem, but not quite.
I inherited a PowerMac G4 (MDD)/Dual 1 GHz/1.5 GB DDR SDRAM/running 10.3.9.
I purchased a used original AirPort card from eBay, opened up the machine, and plugged it in. When I went to update the software (from a CD), my machine told me that it was up to date (though one HD is running OS9 and one running OSX -- so the software wouldn't install because the HD running OSX said it was up-to-date and the HD running 9 said it was impossible). The machine recognizes the card/shows it gray in the toolbar/says it has Firmware Version 8.70 in the System Profile.
My problem is that the AirPort can't see any wireless networks 99% of the time, even though 3 (including mine) are in range all the time. I've seen my network only flicker into possibility a few times, and even though I've disabled all security measures on the wireless router (Linksys Wireless-G, Model WRT54G), it simply won't connect. One time in 3 hours it momentarily looked like it was going to connect, then said "out of range," then disappeared completely. It has seen 0 wireless networks for the past hour.
I've read everything far and wide trying to solve this issue and am totally stuck. At first I thought I needed an antenna for the AirPort, but this is an internal card, so that doesn't seem right. I know the AirPort card (and not Extreme) is right because a) I don't have a FW800 port and b) the machine recognizes this card. Finally, I thought it may have had to do with the WPA security on the Linksys, but even with security disabled...nothing.
I'm feeling very frustrated. Any advice?
Thank you very much.

Thanks, Tom. I did as you suggested, and the Max Signal under the Log is showing a red 12, which is terrible, yes? What, exactly, does this tell me? That this is simply a case of old technology (AirPort b) struggling to communicate with new technology (Linksys g) over a medium distance (Linksys is in next room, through wall)? If plugging straight into the ethernet were an option, I'd just do it. But I can't get my G4 onto the Internet without running cords down the hallway and through my TV room, which is an obvious eyesore.
Is there a chance this AirPort card is only partly functional and I should return it? Or do I need to accept the fact that this G4 needs to either be moved closer to the Linksys router or be plugged in directly?
Thank you.

Can't see some letters from my Gmail box in Mail.app in MAC OS 10.8.5.

Hello, can't see some letters from my Gmail box in Mail.app in MAC OS 10.8.5.

The solution was to remove all versions of Acrobat Pro and reinstall Acrobat Pro XI. I still had the download file in my Time Machine backup. That's a good thing, since the download link from the order listing on the Adobe website under my account would not work.
The problems don't occur with version 11.0.0. I got the work done, now I'm updating to 11.1.0 and will report if they came back.

Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic. I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play or do I need to get new ipod. It works on my iPad and iPhone, but not through iPod Classic.

Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod? Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?

I can see open tabs from my PC on my Mac, but I can't see open tabs from my Mac on my PC. Why?

I've set up Sync on my work PC and my home MacBook.
I can see open tabs from my PC while I'm on my Mac, but I can't see open tabs from my Mac while I'm on my PC. Why?

Here is what I am seeing on my Android device - at the top, a few options like History > Top Sites> Bookmarks>Reading List. Then, the search/address bar, then to the right of that, a square with the number "1" inside it, then 3 dots that, when chosen, give you the following options:
New Tab
New Private Tab
Request Desktop Site
Tools
Settings
Any thoughts on how I specifically sync my Desktop open tabs to my Android device so I can then see all my desktop open tabs on my phone?
Thanks!

Hi, I did manage to ping each computer (the mac from the pc and viceversa), also I did manage to "see" the mac from the pc windows network application; but I still have two issues:
1) I still can't "see" the PC from my Mac, under share of finder....
2) How can I do to access the mac from the pc? It keeps asking me for a user and password, should I use my user and password that I use in my mac? How can I add the pc user into my mac setting if I can't "see" the pc?
Thank you for your help

I tried to do shift + alt + command - option

Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto.
Restore from your back up is the easiest solution.

Can't see unicode data from BI

Hi J1m,
According to your description, I make a test on my computer and I am able to reproduce your issue. Firstly, I install the Visual Studio 2013 express for web successfully, create a project and connect to SQL Server database. Then I right click one table,
and I can see all the options including ‘Show Table Data ’, ‘Open Table Definition ’, ‘Copy’, ‘Refresh’, and ‘Properties’. Next, I uninstall the SQL Server data tools, and restart the Visual Studio, right click on table, and only find the three options
‘Copy’, ‘Refresh’, ‘Properties’ as the following screenshot, which is the same scenario with yours.
Based on my test, the issue could be due to the missing or corrupt SQL Server Data Tools. To work around the issue, you should install the latest SQL Server data tools for Visual Studio 2013. You could download the
ISO file for SQL Server data tools and extract the ISO files to your hard drive following the methods in this
article, and install the data tools. Please restart your computer after you complete the installation.
Regards,
Michelle Li
