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 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 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.

  • IPhone not connected not recognized after Leopard install

    OK, so all was well with my iPhone and this weekend I installed Leopard, and now my iPhone has only been recognized once by my computer. I plug it in to it's cradle (as always) and no charging happens and it does not show up in iTunes. I have tried both of my available USB ports (no hubs involved) and neither one works, yet my other USB devices work just fine. I tried a new cable, it does not work, and I also plugged in the cable direct to an outlet and my phone charges just fine. All updates are installed. The only way I got it to work that one time was to turn my computer off and then on, but I've tried that this morning and even that does not work. I have no way to sync. Please help me!

    Laura Brown1,
    If the iPhone is not seeing power from the USB port, try reseting the iPhone first.
    If its still not seeing power, or being seen by the computer, reset the PMU, and then try it again. For some models of Mac the PMU is replaced by a SMC instead.
    This article has information about PowerMac G5's with a PMU:

  • Airport Card Not Recognized on iMac DV 400 SE Slot Loading

    I just installed an airport card with adapter per Apple's instructions. It is not recognized in the Network list in System preferences. Internal Modem is listed as well as Built-in-Ethernet (with an active Internet connection). Has 10.3.9 and the latest Airport software updates.
    It was taken from a working iMac and installed in my iMac. Any idea what the problem might be?

    Will do. Thanks for the advice.
    This computer is somewhat of a cultural icon. One of the first computers configured out of the box for video editing. On a Contour stand, 130 Gb HD, 1 GM ram. Still very functional after 8 1/2 years. Looks great in the studio. Just wanted to wean it from it's ethernet connection.

  • AirPort doesn't work after Leopard install

    I have an iMac 20" 2GHz Core 2 Duo and my AirPort doesn't work. I reset my PRAM, erased the hard drive and installed a clean copy of Leopard after picking it up from the Retail store. I had exactly the same problem with 9A559 and the seed update and I ASSUMED it would be fixed by the time the final release is out. It doesn't detect any networks, even if i move the access point very close to the computer. I tried disabling all security on the access point. Tried changing channels. Tried resetting the access point to defaults and reconfiguring from scratch. Tried manually putting the SSID in on the iMac but none of it worked. The access point is a Linksys WAG54G with the latest firmware. If anyone can help me, please do because the AirPort is the ONLY way this computer can access the internet.

    Just to clarify my situation:
    Erase and install of Leopard
    Airport card is detected:
    Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x89)
    Wireless Card Locale: Worldwide
    Wireless Card Firmware Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (4.170.25.10)
    Current Wireless Network: wireless network not available

    Anyone else see the Apple80211Scan entries?

  • Why is my external USB audio card not found after Lion install

    Above says it all.  Since installing Lion my external USB audio card is not recognized.  This is a very plain vanilla card.  I worked fine with Snow Leopard.  No additional drivers required.  But with Lion, nada.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It just happened to me. Exactly as Ritcho described. After install fine, after restart, gone. FYI for anyone with the same issue as I had. I was using a Diamond USB dongle to connect my external monitor to the iMac, it was legacy from when I was running a couple of external monitors from my MacBook Pro using them. I took the dongle out of the chain and replaced with a standard Apple DVI to Mini DVI adapter and plugged it into the mini dvi port in the iMac and I was golden. Now to sell the Diamond dongles.

  • External DVD drive not recognized with Leopard install

    I just installed Leopard and my external firewire DVD drive (LG; GSA-5120D) is not recognized.
    I used patchburn for Tiger to recognize it but there is not Leopard version. any ideas? thx

    answered!
    I used Patchburn with Tiger. After I removed the Patchburn generated drivers from Library/DiscRecording/DeviceProfiles and restarted, it now works fine.

  • Built-in camera in Cinema Display not recognized after SL Install

    Is anyone else having this problem? After installing the Snow Leopard upgrade, my system no longer recognizes the Cinema Display build in camera, not in iChat and not in Photo Booth. Help!

    What I've done is create a new admin user account in System Preferences Accounts pane
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8235.html
    after upgrading to Snow Leopard. The new account is using default settings (for Snow Leopard), so it is a good basis for comparison tests. Your issue would be a good use for it.
    After creating that new admin user account, log out and log in to the new account. Try the thing that does not work, in the new account. If it works in the new account, the problem is not technically Snow Leopard, but some conflict with something in your existing pre- Snow Leopard user account. It might be some user preference file that you have to trash or some background process that is conflicting, but you can focus troubleshooting on your normal user account as the cause.
    If it still does not work in the new account, then the problem is likely to be a bug in the overall system, or a hardware issue.

  • Wifi card not recognized after reboot.

    I've got a Lenovo X140e and an Intel wifi card. (Intel Corporation Wireless-N 7260) that I installed myself, since the support for the Broadcom card it came with was spotty.
    If I reboot my laptop, the card won't show up with either iwconfig or even lspci. If I do a cold reboot (power down entirely and start back up), it will show up just fine.
    What gives?
    Relevant lspci output:
    01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev 4b)
            Subsystem: Intel Corporation Wireless-N 7260
            Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 38
            Memory at f1300000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
            Capabilities: <access denied>
            Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
            Kernel modules: iwlwifi

    When the card is recognized, rfkill lists it as unblocked; when it's not recognized, it doesn't show up at all.
    I've got i3 installed; for connection management I've been sort of trying different things - netctl never works but wifi-menu has been pretty reliable. I haven't installed any special power management stuff at all - I'm not really sure how to find out what was auto-installed?

  • Canon MP 600 Printer not working after Leopard Install

    I installed the Leopard OS and now my Canon MP 600 printer that purchased at the MAC store with my Mac in Aug of this year. It was working properly prior to the Leopard install. I tried re-installing the printer drivers, but no change. I can see my MP 600 as the only printer available. I am also unable to even print a 'test' page. When I run the Network Diagnostics everything is fine, but no printing.
    Any suggestions?

    I tried this. I also tried updating the CUPS config file as was noted elsewhere. The printer is a total no-show on Leopard.
    It is being served by an older G4 whose only job is to serve the printer.
    On Tiger it would just *be there* to print to. All the Panther computers see it as a "shared printer" in the printer box.
    In Leopard.... not a &^^&% thing.
    Not happy.

  • Old Airport card not recognizing Apple Airport Router.

    Hello there,
    I've just been given an old G4 (digital audio) to use for university and after doing some research brought an old Airport card off of ebay.
    After putting into the relevant slot and plugging it in, it started to recognize all of my neighbor's networks, but not my own which is run from an Apple Router!
    I also have a faster G4 iBook which uses the airport extreme card and it can find it no problem?
    Is it a lost cause trying to get such an old card trying to find the router? I'd rather avoid having to 'borrow' my neighbor's connection if I can help it.

    Hi duane,
    Thanks for the prompt reply.
    My airport base station has just been reset and is currently using the default channel (which i believe is 2) and the airport card still is refusing to notice it.

  • 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)

    I was given advice to re-install these programs, but that ended up deleting iPhoto, which is another issue I am now dealing with. I tried re-installing iLife09 from the receipt file but it told me that I must have Mac OS 10.5.5 or higher, I have 10.6:
    This is really bugging me, not sure what to do. Everything was working fine up until the Snow Leopard install. I also do not have the entire computer backed up anywhere, just my music and important documents so using Time Machine isn't an option unfortunately.
    Please help!

    IMO, you have only one realistic option if you want to try to fix things as they stand (ignoring iPhoto) (i.e., without doing and erase and install and having an original iLife install DVD). Try a repair install of Sno by installing Sno over Sno as in an upgrade install. Such an install, while usually very safe, still is an install so be appropriated backed up if you proceed. You will need to reinstall the 10.6.2 combo updater.
    If this approach does not work, then I think that you have lost the iLife apps unless you have a related original install DVD. If you do, then you can do an erase and install of Sno and reinstall the iLife apps.
    Another possibility is to do an archive and install. Generally speaking, such an install is not very likely to yield an acceptable installation. Under your circumstances, I would say their is only a tiny probability that you would end up with a decent install.

  • IPhone not recognized after Leopard and iTunes 7.6 upgrade -- solution

    I did the iTunes 7.6 upgrade and then the Leopard install this past weekend. Everything seemed to work fine until I tried to sync my phone... iTunes didn't recognize that it was there, although I had power, etc.
    Briefly, the solution is to reinstall iTunes 7.6. It may well be that if you do Leopard and then 7.6 you're fine, but I ended up doing it the other way.
    This link below is to the relevant thread on the iPhone forum:

    Thank you Jennifer. That was very helpful. I'm new to Apple MacOS. Not new to computing by any stretch however, having been a DE at Sun for 9 years, 2 years at Cisco and a couple of lesser known startups in Silly Valley. I hope their are more folks like you on these forums, and fewer like 'South Beach'. Thanks again for the iPhoto tip, that was very helpful. I did get the iPhone 'fixed' by re-installing the iTunes 7.6 pkg. You wouldn't happen to know how to turn off the boogus status icon in my launcher bar (top of screen) that complains about .Mac 'conflicts'? I don't have a .Mac account and don't want one. When I select 'review conflicts now' nothing happens, no dialogue, no new windows, nothing. This glyph appeared after I installed Leopard. I am less than impressed with this release from Cupertino.
