Airport Card not picking up networks...Someone please help!!

Alright heres the deal. I just bought my first MAC, a Mac Pro With 2 2.66 Xeon processors, yes this thing should fly the space shuttle(you'd think). But why does Apple not have a preinstalled Airport Card in their top of line unit? Who knows. Anyway, I went to the Apple store and purchased one and installed it, no problem. It should work, right? WRONG. My nightmare has started. The computer definitely reads that the card is there. ID and all. But I am not seeing and IP address in the dialog box/tab TCP??. I have called Apple Care to no avail, folks at the store, don't have a clue, so i thought i'd give this forum one more shot at the hopes that someone here will know how to configure this thing and get me on line. NAturally i am writing this from my trusty ol' PC...which never fails me, btw. FYI, the other two computers in my houselhold, this trusty Sony Viao and an iMAC laptop, have no problem at all picking up network signals. And folks come over all the time with their MAC laptops and never have a problem accessing our network..so why can't my MAC PRO? Is there a driver to install, and if so why did it not come in the box with the Card? Someone please help me out before i take this thing back and get a PC. I am on the verge. Thanks.

Let's double-check your AirPort settings:
To setup AirPort for High-Speed Cable Internet connectivity:
System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
- Verify that an AirPort option exists. If it does not, click "New" to create one. (Note: If you are unable to create an AirPort configuration, the AirPort card in your computer either doesn't exist or it is not recognized.)
- Verify that AirPort is "On" (checked)
- Verify that AirPort is at the top of the list. If it isn't, you can drag it to the top.
Systems Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort
AirPort tab
- By default, join: Automatic
TCP/IP tab
- Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
- Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
Proxies tab
- Configure Proxies: Manually
- Select a proxy server to configure: <All proxies should be unchecked unless you specifically require a proxy for Internet access.>
- Exclude simple hostnames (unchecked)
- Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains: <leave blank>
- Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV) (checked)

The action menu can be restored by, in the Finder, selecting under View menu "Customize Toolbar ...". There you will see options to put the action menu (wheel) back on your toolbar.

Hi,
I ran a simulator for the Dragon Age: Inquisition and the processor and memory in your HP 500-223w meet or exceed the recommended requirements. However, the video in your PC doesn't meet the recommended level even at 1024 by 768 resolution. The NVIDIA 750 would also not meet the recommended requirements even at 1024 by 768 resolution.
The power supply will need to be replaced to support a graphics card that will meet the recommended requirements.
The Corsair CX600 would be an excellent choice as it matches up the existing HP power supply dimensions. $65
The AMD R9 270 would exceed the recommeded requirements for Dragon Age: Inquisition. These are on sale from $100 and up. Do some measuring inside yiour PC. This Sapphire R9 270 model would be a good choice at $130 afer rebate

Airport card not picking up any signals after IP configuration changed

Just had cable internet installed in my apartment, and in the course of setting up the IP configuration for the built-in ethernet connection, my airport card has stopped recognizing wireless networks in my building. Before I changed these settings, the card was working, and there are several networks in the building that it recognized. Now, it recognizes none. The menu appears in the top bar, and I can turn the airport on and off, but it simply is not picking up any signals whatsoever.
I have tried a handful of tactics, including changing the Airport TCP/IP configuration in several different ways, rebooting several times, and even removing and reinserting the Airport card.
For info: I'm using an iBook G3 with OS 10.2.8. (I know, pretty old, but it's still chugging along...)
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure. What's strange is that the very same computer was picking up signals (not accessing them b/c they were all password protected), recognizing networks in the area at least, before I played with the other IP configuration settings. Now it picks up none. It shows that there are none in the area, even though I know that there are.
Also, often, when I click on the Airport icon in the menu bar, the computer hangs for up to a minute before the menu actually pops up.
I have an Airport Express unit that I have hooked up to the cable modem, and my Airport card won't even recognize that signal. I'm just not sure what I changed that made it go haywire. I've been using this computer on wireless networks for the entire time I've owned it. Never had this problem before yesterday.
Thanks for any additional suggestions anyone can offer.

Router not picking up modem. (Please Help)

Hello there, I have been using my linksys e3000 router for almost 2 years... no problems at all..
But today a storm came and for some reason after the power outage my router no longer seems to pick up singal from my modem... everything will light up...the wifi light.. and the lights '' 1...2..3...4 '' but the light showing there is internet will not come on at all....everything is setup right... I can't access the Linkys 192.168.1.1 page anymore.... I tried to reset the router to default settings and nothing will happen.... it will not get singal from the modem at all...
I'm not sure what to do at this point...my internet works fine as I am on here from a direct connection from the modem...so the problem is my router... it will not pick up any form of singal from my modem... I have tried putting in the disc that came with the router...restarting the router....resetting the router... restarting the modem...my pc...nothing will work... is there anything I can do to get my router working again?
Thanks for any help.

If I am mistaken, your modem’s ip address is probably 192.168.1.XX and that’s the reason why the router’s ip address has been changed to 102.168.1.1. I would suggest that you start from scratch by disconnecting the modem from the router and to reset the router. You can then follow the steps below to manually configure the router based on the internet connection type that you have subscribed.

I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago. I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam. I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions. Could you please explain?
I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

HT204053 I want my apple id and the rest to be in canada not UK. Can someone please help me

I got 2cents left in my account in but in UK. I want myaccount to be in canada because thats where i live. Please someone i need help i cant buy anything in UK my card dont work there.

If you are getting an 'account not in this store' error message then try going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your phone and tap on your account id, tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section and select Canada.
Or by having '2 cents' you mean 2 pence i.e. UK money ? If you do then you can try contacting iTunes Support and ask them if they can remove the balance from your account so that you can change countries : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

My ipad2 mic is not working. Can someone please help me?

I Recently discovered that the mic on my iPad 2 with iOS version 8.2 is not working. Please what can I do to get it working?

You do know with absolute certainty he, that the mic does not work at all? Have you tried recording a video with sound to test to make sure that the microphone isn't working?
if you have tried recording a video with sound and that did not work, have you tried any troubleshooting steps at all? Have you looked to see if there is any debris covering the mic? Or do you have a cover that could be interfering with the microphone?
you can start with a reset of the iPad if you haven't done anything else. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time, for about 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears on the screen. When you see the Apple logo on the screen, you can let go of the buttons and let the iPad start up. Try the microphone after the iPad starts up again.
You could try restoring the iPad to factory settings and see if that recovers the microphone for you.

It is also possible that you could have a hardware issue which you will not be able to resolve on your own. If you cannot find any other way to get the microphone to work you may end up having to take it to an Apple store and let an Apple genius evaluate the device.

Need to buy a wireless router that is compatible with 10.4.11 and macbook pro, and pc. Current Airport Extreme not a compatible option. Please help with suggestions.

Any mid range options would be helpful. Thank your.

You can set up and administer the Airport Extreme from any computer, Mac or PC. The only requirement is the version of Airport Utility appropriate for the OS, in order to accomplish its initial configuration. For Tiger, it's the one I linked.
Apparently the "chat" participant simply read from Apple's web page. Anyone can do that
Client operating systems are meaningless to the Airport itself (or any other wireless router).
Linksys made fine products before Cisco bought them. Cisco is focused on large corporate deployments, not small users - abandonment of the Flip is evidence of that. Their individual consumer support is horrible.

ITunes Library is not valid?? Someone please help!

My computer froze up last night and I had to restart it. Just now I tried to open up iTunes since it froze last night and now I got a popup that says my iTunes Library is not valid and that it needs to create a new one that says "iTunes Library (Damaged)".
When iTunes opened up none of my songs were there and neither were any of my playlists. It's as if I am using iTunes again for the first time and I have no songs or anything.
How do I get those songs and my playlists back exactly the way they were before? If anyone can help me out here it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Did you try a permissions repair using your old library file? That may solve the problem without a lot of trouble.
You can re-import all of your song files back into iTunes, but you will lose all your settings and playlists. I would do that only as a last resort.
You can find out which files are different between the backup and main Music folders. If you have the OS X Developer Tools installed you can use the "File Merge" utility to compare the two folders. It can be found in Developer/Applications/Utilities. It can tell you what files are identical, unique to one folder or the other, and files that have been added or deleted to either. Depending on how big the folders are it can take a very long time to run the comparison. You might want to run it when you are not using the computer, like overnight.
After you find out which files are different in the newer Music Folder you can then just re-import them only without affecting things since the last backup.
Also, iTunes will use whatever library file was last used until you change it by holding down the option key add selecting a new one when you start iTunes. So any files that are added will be added to the current library file in use.
Hope this helps. Let me know.
