Airport card "not found" after Leopard upgrade

This may be an unrelated fluke, but it seems quite odd.
After a client upgraded to Leopard, her Airport card is suddenly not seen by the computer. I have reseated the card, but get the same result. It doesn't show up in system profiler, either.
Was curious as to whether anyone had seen this, or similar symptoms, before I grab a replacement card to see if that is in fact the problem.

I have the exact same problem. I do not have a macfixit account.
I expect the information I need to repair a a bad update from Apple would be on the Apple Discussions forum.
Is there any way I can get this information without having to spend $24?

  • Airport Card Not Recognized after Leopard Install

    After the Leopard install the airport card on my Dual 1.8 G5 is not being recognized (the airport menu reads "no aiport card installed". Of course there is a card and when booting a from Tiger there is no problem. It's a stock apple airport card. Any suggestions?

    Interesting update...
    After reading several other threads of semi-related topics, I decided that there's no harm in reinstalling the software. After placing in the disk and restarting you get the WELCOME splash screen. On the menu bar, you can choose to view the System Profiler prior to installation. My Airport Card did how up here - telling me that it's not a hardware issue. I'm in the process of re-installing 10.5 - which will take 1-2 hours to complete. I'll let you know how it works out.

  • Airport Extreme not found after Leopard install

    I have internet, I can access my External drive connected to my Airport Extreme but when I run the Airport Utility, it can't "find" my Airport Extreme. The utility can only find my Express so I unplugged it and now it can't find anything. It's weird because everything works. I want to access the base station to make changes to ports. Can you help?

    I used my Tiger-equipped iBook G4 and checked the Airport Utility from there. Sure enough, there was an available update. After I updated, everything worked just fine. Except, for some reason, I can get my Airport Drive to load on Leopard's desktop. I can live with that.

  • Airport no longer operates after Leopard Upgrade in MacBook Pr0 17

    For my macBook pro 17" I purchased and loaded Leopard OS two months ago. Ever since my AIRPORT HAS NOT WORKED CORRECTLY, and with the last update installed I have been unable to use Airport at all. The connection is either completely GONE or fades every few minutes to ZERO. My computer cannot find any new signals for more than a few seconds..then Airport SHUTS DOWN and goes dead every time. YIKES! I make my living on the web. What is Apple doing? Does anyone know?

    Hi,
    2) Set the Firewall in Leopard to Allow Specific applications and service and add iChat to the list.
    With an Airport Extreme I expect you have been getting Error 7
    If the Modem is a Cable modem then nothing should be done to the Airport
    If the modem id SDSL and routes then the Airport should not Share An IP and also the ports in the modem need to be opened with UPnP or pointing at the IP the computer has after you stop it Sharing an IP.

  • USB Flash Disk does not mount after Leopard Upgrade

    I am not able to use my USB flash disk after the upgrade to Leopard. The disk does not mount at all, though i can see it listed in the System Profiler.
    Before the upgrade to Leopard, the same disk used to work perfectly.
    Can anyone please tell me how I can solve this issue ?
    Thanks.

    Check to see if your USB Drive has the latest firmware. Leopard tends not to support older firmware.

  • Airport speakers not recognised (after security upgrade?)

    I can no longer get the pop-up menu that allows me to select me speakers running from my Airport express. I am running iTunes 4. It has happened after the last security upgrade, which also seems to have stopped me being able to print.
    Anyone else had this?

    No, not yet. Just upgraded to iTunes 5.0 and still can't see the menu.

  • Console not logging after Leopard upgrade

    Hi everyone
    I've had a number of problems after the Leopard upgrade, the most serious of which is not being able to get my POP mail (separate post in the Mail and Address Book forum), but I'm also puzzled as to why Console.app isn't logging "console" anymore.
    Other logs continue to add data, including the SpamSieve log and crash logs, but "console" only goes up to when I upgraded to Leopard, three days ago: it says nothing after that point, despite several restarts.
    There are older "console" logs, but none newer than that date.
    I'd like it working, because it's such an important part of checking and fixing things.
    I have no idea why it is not logging: your suggestions are most welcome.

    It is working, but in a different way.
    Everything gets written to a Log Database these days, and the messages that would previously gone to the old console.log appear there as "Console Messages" under "Log Database Queries" in Console.app.
    system.log is unusual in that it still exists although everything written there also goes to the database. However I think you'll find that every console message also goes to system.log (but not vice-versa).
    The only reason you have "older console logs" is because you did either an Upgrade or an Archive & Instal. I did an Erase & Instal and there are no console logs.

  • HP scanner not found after Leopard

    My HP ScanJet 5530 cannot be found after installing Leopard. I can see the scanner, correctly identified, in the System Profiler on the USB bus item, but neither VueScan nor HP's latest drivers or scanner software will see the scanner. I know this is not a hardware issue as I recently installed XP SP2 on my iMac and it does see and operate the same scanner when running Windows. The issue showed up before installing XP. Any ideas what I can try?

    I can get my HP laserjet 3055 to print via Bonjour, but I cannot get the scanner to work. I have visted HP's website repeatedly to look for a new driver compatible with OS X 10.5 Leopard, but to date have not had any success. Please can can someone help.

  • Network card not found after new installation [SOLVED]

    I broke my filesystem on my Asus UL80V series laptop in trying to solve problems related to the latest glibc update, so decided to do a clean re-install. I had an installation disk at hand: 2009.08 with kernel 2.6.30.4-1 (which is supposed to have the module for my ath9k network device). However after a successful installation (including all the files from base-dev), my network device is not recognised:
    dhcpcd: eth0: interface not found or invalid
    although network connectivity (wired and wireless) worked perfectly before the installation attempt.
    This happened yesterday (17th) and I have been scouring the web since trying to find out what the cause of this problem is, without luck.
    I also burned a new installation CD with the latest stable version, but no luck there, either! Got a message at the beginning informing me that the install requires 64 Mb memory, although my laptop has 4 Gb.
    I should say, the device is there and working:
    lspci | grep Net
    gives
    02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
    I also did
    modprobe ath9k
    just to make sure. No luck.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    thanks

    Argh, ip may not be around in the 2009 image really ;-) .. Use "ifconfig" instead..
    But: I meanwhile cross-checked your ath9k: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Dri … h9k_driver
    and it does not sound encouraging for the kernel you have there.
    The image is far too old anyway, if you ask me (would be a darn hazzle to get that uptodate I am sure). Pity you get that memory error with the 2011 one. Maybe check forums on that. Sounds very strange, I am not aware of any post I read.
    If you can burn another CD, you can try the recent ISOs as well: http://releng.archlinux.org/isos/
    Beware that the ones from July dont have the AIF setup anymore.

  • Photoshop 7.0 not opening after Leopard upgrade

    Several months back I upgraded to Leopard and had that login & keychain update error which is now fixed. However for some reason after the upgrade I am unable to open my Photoshop 7.0. Has anyone else had problems opening existing programs before the upgrade? And if so, how did you fix it? Or should I just try to re-install the Photoshop from the CD?
    Thanks, Christie

    Which upgrade caused this to happen? There have been quite a few since 10.5.1.
    I would also check with Adobe for any updates.

  • Airport card not detected after s/w update was interrupted by power outage

    Hi Folks,
    My G4 was connecting to the internet thru a wi-fi AP at a B&B I am staying at. Bought the SP's access card from front desk and got online.
    Started updating software and the network went down due to a power outage.
    Since then was not able to get online as G4 refused to accept the DHCP address from the AP. Tried the latest security update for 10.3.9 and now the bluetooth and airport card are nopt detected even though the Sys Profiler says they are present.
    Dont think I need to re-seat the airport as nothing was physically wrong.
    Please Help! Is there a way out other than a reinstall of the OS ??
    Thanks,
    Powerbook G4 15"   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Hi Don,
    There are aironet AP's installed all over the B&B. Just need to get connected to the n/w and start browsing. when one starts browsing the login page comes up which needs the info contained in the purchased card.
    Have not had a chance to do more as am relocating as part of a new job and have been very busy. So what you suggested at my end (not on AP end) has been done by default : )
    I also tried rolling back the system config to a previous backup. that helped recover the bluetooth and airport h/w. it was showing up and detected but the DHCP issue did not go away. I tried a complete reinstall (erase and install)of 10.3 and the DHCP issue is still there.
    now a self assigned IP is being used and for some reason the DHCP address is not being accepted/used by the laptop.
    everyone else in the B&B is doing well. and all are on windows
    is there anything else i could try??
    thanks,
    Powerbook G4 15" Mac OS X (10.3.9)

  • Canon LBP5000 does not work after Leopard Upgrade

    Hi all,
    We have a Canon LBP5000 that is directly connected to one of our iMac's and worked like a charm when we were using Tiger. After upgrading to Leopard, everything went weird. It is still installed but when we tried printing, we get a 'Load Paper' warning from the printer. After checking to make sure that the default paper was all in A4 format it still wouldn't print. We then tried hooking it up to an Airport Express to share and while trying to add it via Bonjour, an Error 9672. We're seriously looking at getting a new clour laser printer that works with Leopard as at this point in time, there is yet to be found a driver from Canon that works with Leopard. Any suggestions of colour laser printers that work with Leopard or solutions to our problems ?

    Hi Donny/PJB,
    I did look and googled the drivers but the European site has outdated ones. We were actually using Japanese drivers CAPT (Ver. 1.60) for Tiger but it doesn't work now for Leopard. PJB, thanks for pointing out your post and I had a run through the Japanese site but it's all in Japanese
    Anyway, I basically used common sense and updated the CAPT to (Ver. 1.61) but it still doesn't work after installing it. Every time I try to print or so a test print, the progress went Printing to Stopped.
    When we click Resume it doesn't do anything and after 4 clicks, there was a short 'Fatal: Failed to load module' message pops up in the Print Queue dialog box. Has anyone actually have a Canon LBP 5000 printer that has worked with Leopard ? That is my question really...sigh.

  • Dvd player does not work after Leopard upgrade

    I installed Leopard, had to upgrade because my printer died and no printers now work with Tiger.  Since the upgrade, my DVD player does not work.  I have problems burning some cd's too.  Is this a known issue?  What is the fix?

    I have read a couple of complaints like that, but not sure it's widespread.
    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 6 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Trash old Log files.
    First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
    Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
    If that does NOT help, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
    Then move these files to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
    Reboot & test.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
    If that does NOT help then I suspect the optical drive or media itself, or possibly just needs a cleaning CD run on it.

  • Airport express not found after setup

    I have a maddening situation. At the beginning of setting up my airport extreme, the computer has no problem finding the wireless device. However, after the A/E is configured and added to my current network (linksys router), the computer can't find the A/E anymore.
    What's going on?

    The following are Apple's instructions for setup using the Airport Setup Assistant, which is different from Airport Utility, but most of the steps are the same. Some are important for your installation, such as "do NOT select extend the range of my Airport..." and entering your network password correctly. Some steps, like plugging in the Airport, you probably already figured out
    Since your router is a Linksys product, after the Express is set up you will no longer be able to see it using Airport Utility. The reason is that you set up the Express using its wireless network (Apple Network xxxxxx), which is subsequently disabled after setup. Once you're done and you click Update you'll be using your Linksys wireless network. Airport Utility only recognizes Airport networks. You didn't create one with your Express nor do you want to given your desired setup. If you need to use Airport Utility to configure the Express again you'll need to perform a hard reset.
    If everything's right and you have checked iTunes Preferences > Devices "look for remote speakers connected with Airtunes" option you should see a new menu appear in the lower right of the iTunes window.
    If this doesn't work, try disabling your router's encryption temporarily to simplify things. Reset the Express and run Airport Utility without a password this time. You may also need to modify your Sharing > Firewall settings too.
    Hope it helps!
    Plug AirPort Express into a power outlet.
    On your computer, join the wireless network created by AirPort Express.
    Open AirPort Setup Assistant. Mac users: Find it in /Applications/Utilities/. Windows users: On the Start menu, point to All Programs and click AirPort.
    When you see the Introduction screen, click Continue.
    Select "Set up a new AirPort Base Station" and click Next.
    When the AirPort Setup Assistant confirms that it has found your AirPort Express, click Continue. (If >your AirPort Express wasn't found, click Try Again.)
    Select "Connect to my current wireless network."
    Be sure that "Extend the range of my AirPort wireless network" is not selected (this option is used >only for WDS).
    Click Next; AirPort Express Assistant will scan for your existing wireless network. Once it finds it, click Next again.
    Choose the correct network (there may only be one) from the Wireless Network Name menu. If the wireless network is password protected, you will be prompted to enter the password. Enter the password and then click Next to continue.
    Note: If you have difficulty with your password, you can get help with joining a third-party WEP-protected network.
    Enter the name of your AirPort Express.
    Tip: If you don't know the name, it's what appears in iTunes as the name of your AirTunes remote speakers.
    Click Next.
    Assign an administrator password for AirPort Express. This password can be different from any network password, and is used for just changing settings on AirPort Express.
    The Summary screen outlines the configuration options you've set. Optionally, you can click Show Passwords to review the administrator and network passwords. Finally, click Next to update AirPort Express with your settings.

  • USB HD not connecting after Leopard upgrade

    I just upgraded to Leopard (10.5.4) last night and was going to set up Time Machine with my USB HD that is connected to my Airport Extreme Base Station (7.3.2 firmware, 5.3.2 Utility), but the drive no longer automatically connects when I turn it on. I know there was a recent firmware update or 10.5.x release that enabled that feature, and not just Time Capsule, for Time Machine backups. What am I doing wrong?

    You ever figure it out? I just upgraded to leopard ( actually got a whole new macbook ) and now I am trying to get used to a few new things. My external HD connected to my Airport Extreme is no longer automounting with this leopard 10.5.5 computer. It will also not show up under the devices in the side bar.
    Thanks
