Airport card not showing up after new Security Update

Just did the new Security Update and lost all internet with my Tibook. Getting message that no Airport card is installed. Not showing up in the System Profiler. Update has apparently killed my Airport card. Any solutions?

Airport card not showing up - more data

Powerbook G4 FW800, now running 10.3.9 Update from post below.
Installed the Airport Extreme card, but it doesn't show up in the system profiler. I've done various re-installs of the card, PRAM and open firmware resets, and updated the OS to 10.3.9 (from 10.3.2). But I notice something strange:
On my iMac G5 (10.4) that has no Airport card installed, the system profiler doesn't see the card that isn't there (normal), but when I open Internet Connect, in the top "tray" along with Modem, Bluetooth, and Ethernet I see an "Airport" icon. Select it, and I get an Airport setup but is greyed out - OK. In the System Preferences > Network, the status shows Airport Not Turned On. Again, no airport card installed. Internet Connect version 1.4
But on the PB, there is NO Airport icon in the Internet Connect (Version 1.3) tray, and in System Preferences > Network, Airport doesn't show in the status. And Internet Connect V1.4 won't run on on 10.3.9. Tried that.
Is this an OS 10.3 to 10.4 difference? In 10.4 if the card were installed, I would have the opportunity to turn it on. In 10.3 on the PB, I don't even have the opportunity to turn it on.
Thoughts? I'm wondering if it isn't a hardware issue, but a software issue. I could re-install the original OS S/W, and then upgrade from there to 10.3.9

Saabguy, Welcome to the discussion area!
Don't start a new thread. This makes troubleshooting even more difficult because people that read this thread have no idea what was suggested in your other thread. Therefore you will get the same suggestions here that you got in "Airport Card not installed - sigh".
The difference you are seeing has nothing to do with your problem.

Airport card not seeing networks after IP address clash

Hi - I have a wireless network that works fine, just reset it up again and my two mac laptops connect perfectly well to it, as they always did. The reason I set it up again was that my desktop intel mac pro (my main computer) was giving an error message, that another device on my network had the same IP address as my Airport card, and that it therefore couldn't connect to my wireless network (which has been set up so that the various devices are given their own IP addresses automatically in Bridge Mode). I have never seen this before. I repeatedly tried 'renew DHCP lease' in system preferences - it had no effect so I set up the network again from scratch to see if that would help. Still nothing. The mac pro cannot see either of the two Airport Extremes in my network using airport utility and nor will it connect to the new network when I put in the name and password - again, I have tried repeatedly. The Airport icon in system preferences is orange.
The airport card has never reported any problems and Apple hardware test (as well as the programme that came with Applecare) indicates that it's working normally. There are also no hardware problems with the Mac Pro according to the same tests.
Does anyone on this forum know what I can do to connect the Mac Pro to the wireless network? (I don't have the option of trying to use it as the computer that sets up the network, as it's located a long way from the telephone connection, so that is done using Airport Utility via one of the laptops).

Deleting the keychain with Keychain access worked.
I still can't click on options nor see preferred networks, but now the new keychain I made is finally staying around after reboot and auto connecting me to my home network.
Thank you for the help. I did accidentally delete ALL my keychains, but that's just as well as I probably had other clutter in there as well.

Airport Express Not Showing Up After Repeated Restarts

Have a first Gen Airport Express and still using the same Macbook we always have, but the Airport is just not working properly any more. Here are the things I have tried:
- Hard restart, and properly configured the airport express to join my wireless network. My internet router says it is connected and the light is green on the airport but will not show up in iTunes or through the airport utility. The only way I can get the airport utility to read it is when I do the hard restart, but once it restarts, no airport...
- I have made sure the passwords and security types are correct
It was working fine for YEARS and now it just won't show up at all!
Any helps would be appreciated!

Welcome to the discussions forum jmpstar.
If you disabled wireless, Airport Utility will have no way to find it, wirelessly. You'll have to reset it by holding in the reset button until the LED flashes rapidly. You'll then be able to configure it again using Airport Utility.

Ibook g3 hard drive does not show up after new installation

I have an older ibook g3. I purchased a 20gb hard drive to replace the dead 10gb hard drive that came with the computer when I bought it new. The installation was fairly easy. After the hard drive was installed and everything was put back together I turned on the computer and loaded the install disk into the cd tray. The new hard drive does not show up in order to install the operating system. What do I need to do in order to get the hard drive to show up?
Scott

Hey Scott,
The new hard drive does not show up in order to install the operating system. What do I need to do in order to get the hard drive to show up?
When you're in the installer go up to the top menu bar under utilities? or tools? and start up disk utilities. See if you see the hard drive there. If so it might not be formatted correctly so erase it and format it for your install (usually Mac OS Extended (Journaled). That should make it show up.

Mail not showing accounts after ios 7 update on iPhone 5

After the ios 7 update to my iPhone 5 mail does not show my accounts. Specifically there is nothing below the word Accounts. The rest is working fine and still connected to my three accounts. However it no longer shows accounts.

thanks for the suggestions, i tried the ideas you suggested but i dont even get a camera showing for the rear camera, i also noticed the torchlight no longer works. i did all the steps but no luck.
So I took my camera to the genius bar this weekend as well as walking through various steps with the apple guys in ohio support over the net.
With the guys at the genius bar, after i insisted that it must be software as the rear camera stopped working only after the softwre update, they continued to assure me it was hardware and talked me into letting them replace the camera, they then took it to the back and tried fixing a camera and 30 minutes later came out and said the rear camera is no longer being detected and wanted me to replace the motherboard for yet more money. im glad they didnt charge me for the new camera though as it still didnt work.
anyway the motherboard idea i rejected as it was just 2 months out of warranty and had only stopped working the day after the release of 7.0.2, so im going to wait until the next few releases to see what happens, as i dont believe for a second its hardware. i expected a stock answer from apple and its exactly what i got even after my explanation of how it was working the day before the release. not overly impressed with the whole process.
i wanted to back down to 7.0.1 to confirm the camera still works but they said no chance so i cant even see if it still works ouside 7.0.2. anyway will update if i get any further progress.

HT1338 Software Update does not show 10.8.5 Security Update 2014-002

I continue to have Mac 10.8.5 updates which do not show in the App Store Software Update. In the past it was always iTunes which didn't show. Now it's this security update. Why would Software Update not show these available updates? Instead it shows Mavericks and such as available updates, but not the current available security update for my version of OS X. I'm only aware an update exists because of online forums. Is this a widespread issue that is affecting everyone on Mt Lion?

Already tried that. We set up iClound under a new user account and it did not work.
(We tested iCloud Mail with Apple Sr. support yesterday, in a new user account. It did not work. Note, iCloud via web access via Safari of course will work, accessible from any computer. That is not computer-specific. But iCloud mail would not work on my Mac, nor in the Mail app, even under a new test user account. This was mentioned briefly in previous post above.)
Regarding re-installing ML, Apple support have never suggested that. They have only suggested moving my current data to a new user account, which as I mentioned is not realistic, and now with the new iCloud problem across any new user account, would not solve the problem.
How do you mean to re-install ML? Erase the HDD, reinstall ML, then restore from Time Machine?
I think Apple has not suggested that so far because they believe the problem is in the current Mac data, user account, and not in the system. They have told me migrating to a new Mac or even to Mavericks probly would not solve the problem. But now that it's a systemic issue with iCloud -- my previous issues with Software Update not working and appeared to be user account-specific, and still are – perhaps replacing the system software or upgrading to Mavericks will be worth considering.
They are currently elevating my case to "engineering." They will be looking at system data, I believe...
It's incredibly frustrating.

Start Menu not showing up after 8.1 Update

I am a MSDN subscriber and after applying the Windows 8.1 Update (release April 2nd to MSDN) the Start Menu is not showing up as described in the Key Note.
Is anyone else having this issue? Its as if the updates were never applied.
Thanks

Hi,
Would you please help to provide more detailed description of your concern?
I suppose that once the computer restart, the desktop show up instead of Start screen by default.
One settings can change this behavior which is newly added in Windows 8.1 update 1: Show store app in taskbar

E-520 images still not showing up after latest RAW update.

Hi,
I did the new RAW update today, but still just blank boxes when I try to import images from my Olympus E-520. Anyone else having this problem?
I'm running 10.4.11

Hi,
I'd like to update this post. Seems the RAW files ARE importing to Aperture, however prior to import they just show up as blank boxes.
In other words, when I select the import arrow and then select my CF card, then select the project I want to import to, the screen fills with blank preview boxes. I hit "Import All" anyway and then the actual images do import to the Aperture library.
Also, I am still unable to see the the previews in the desktop finder window or in the Preview program.
Again, is anyone else having this problem or know what may be causing it?
Thanks very much
Was very excited that Aperture was finally supporting the E520, now I'm a bit frustrated.

Error: (Ilegal operation on Wrapped Native Prototype Object) after new security update

I have Firefox 22 installed on a HP Presario Quad 64, running Windows 7 Home Version. Firefox had been running and updating well until I received the latest Security Update (20130618035212) released on the 3rd of June, 2013, and it installed today. After installation the Error: Illegal Operation on Wrapped Native Prototype Object) Pops up several times when first opened, and once or twice on every operation I do, on any page thereafter. I don't know what the reason for this error, or what the update may be badly interacting with. I noticed that there seems to be no way of selectively removing a security update from within Firefox it's-self, can I remove it from windows Add/Remove to see if that's the cause instead of removing the Firefox it's self and re-installing. I haven't had a problem with Firefox for such a long time now that I became far too relaxed in my security of it, that I have to admit it caught me off guard. Any help, or information would be fantastic.
Sincerely
Rick M.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Slow cpu after new SEcurity UPdate

i installed the newest security update on friday and ever since then my mini has been giving me heck. spinning beachballs abound. almost every app has a distinguished pause before loading. safari is definitely slower at handling incoming images, text, whatever. oh yeah the biggest pauses seem to occur when a program attempts to access a folder on my hard drive.
anybody else experiencing these problems?
any possible fixes? (please do not say repair disks)
any way of taking away this security update? -truthfully i would rather have a well functioning computer than be "secure"-

I am also seeing this, with initial onset of symptoms correlating with installing the latest security update. Boot goes quickly until it gets to "Login window starting", whereupon it stays there for over 2 minutes. It takes 30 seconds to open a finder on the drive and another 30 seconds for that window to display its contents. Switching focus between applications and pulling down menus takes seconds, though the application processing itself appears zippy.
iostat reports the cpu remaining about 98% idle and little disk activity.
This suggests to me that there is some problem in either the window manager or its communication with applications.

Trouble sending emails after new security update download

I recently downloaded the newest security update from Apple on to my Macbook PRO and started having trouble sending out emails. I have to shut down my computer and restart everytime I need to send one out. It has also effected Safari and made it incredibly slow. I believe it is that update because I have also just updated my PowerBook G4 at my work and am know experiencing problems there too. I thought my troubles at home were because I had switched from Roadrunner to Verizon for my service. But I haven't changed anything at my work other than that download. Is anyone else having these problems? Does anyone have a solution to fix them?

Airport card not auto-connecting after adding WPA on router

Hello;
I recently turned on WPA security on my previoiusly unsecure router (I had been using a MAC filter) and set up a password, etc...
Two laptops connect to this, my iBook G4 (powerPC), and a Sony Vaio. The Vaio remembers the password on reboot, but the iBook keeps forgetting it, as if somewhere it has the old settings still stored away...
Everytime I reboot I have to go into system preferences, network, and do a 'diagnotistics' to get it to find it, and add the password by going through 'closed networks' (otherwise it just tells me it failed to connect and never asks for a password).
Is there some way I can get it to remember the settings across reboots?
Where are the preferences stored so I can remove them and 'start over'?

Deleting the keychain with Keychain access worked.
I still can't click on options nor see preferred networks, but now the new keychain I made is finally staying around after reboot and auto connecting me to my home network.
Thank you for the help. I did accidentally delete ALL my keychains, but that's just as well as I probably had other clutter in there as well.

Airport Extreme not showing up after switching to extend the network

I have an older Airport Extreme that I am trying to setup to extend the network from my uverse gateway. When I restore the AE to factory settings and set it up to extend the network, it goes through the process and then flashes amber. Also, it takes several tries for the AE to even show up at all in Airport Utility. The AE is version 7.6.4. I am running on Mac with 10.10.1
Thanks

When two wireless routers.....the Uverse in your example, and an AirPort Extreme......are located a few rooms apart with both configured to create a wireless network using the same wireless network name and password, then things will behave as if you have one "big" network.
Although the AirPort Express is technically creating a separate network, the fact that it is using the same wireless network name and password will make it behave as if it were extending the network to provide more range. This is technically known as a "Roaming Network".
Also are you suggesting to not use the uverse gateway as a wireless router but to use the AE as such?
No, since you indicated in your first sentence that you wanted to use the older AirPort to extend the network. It could not "extend" the network if the Uverse gateway was not already producing a wireless network signal, since there would be nothing to extend.
Now, if you do want to turn off the wireless function on the Uverse and only use the AirPort Extreme, that is an option, but you will have a much "smaller" network range wise, since you will only have a good wireless signal when you are in range of the AirPort Extreme.
