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 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?

    Use Software Update to update your OS to last version of Leopard.  Install all the other updates that goes along w/it.  Don't remember if any Airpport updates for Leopard.
    After the installations, repair permissions and restart your computer.

  • IBook G3 airport card not finding networks

    i have an iBook G3 that i have just put an airport card in, after installing the airport card it shows the card is installed but no networks have been found. i did some research online and it said to check the antena, make sure the card is inserted all the way, and to try and reset the PRAM (by pressing OPT,CMD,P,R during bootup) after clearing the PRAM it showed networks but when trying to connect to the networks it says their was a problem connecting and to retry. when i go to try and connect again the airport card shows that it can't find any networks. Are there any other ideas i should try or what could be the problem?

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The iBook G3's original AirPort Card is not capable of handling encryption beyond WPA. It will not work with WPA2-encrypted networks.
    Also, it needs a network that supports the 802.11b standard used by the original AirPort Card. If you are using a router, it needs to be set to mixed mode (b/g or b/g/n) in order for the original AirPort Card to access the network.

  • Installed airport but not showing up

    I just installed a working airport card (NOT the airport extreme card) into my emac.
    The card was removed from a G3 imac where it worked fine.
    It's not showing up on the info for the emac nor is it listed as an option for connecting to the internet.
    Any ideas?
    (this is a new intall of Tiger if that makes a difference)

    I solved the problem.
    I simply didn't have the card inserted fully!!!

  • LOV does not show newly added data in the same session

    Hi guys,
    I work with JDeveloper 11g Release 2. We use Oracle ADF to develop our web app.
    In a page we have a LOV (say the page name is "a"). The related data for that LOV is inserted to the db in another page ( say the page name is "b").
    When new data is added in the page "b" and goes directly to the page "a" the LOV does not show newly added data. But if the user log out and log in again
    LOV shows newly added data correctly.
    Is there a way to show the newly added data in the same session without logging out? Please help.
    Regards !
    Sameera.

    Add the following method in your ViewRowImpl base class:
    public void refreshLOVAccessorQueries() {
        List lovs = getViewDef().getListBindingDefs();
         if (lovs != null) {
             for (Object obj : lovs) {
                getListBindingRSI((ListBindingDef)obj).getRowSet().executeQuery();
                 ListBindingDef lbd = (ListBindingDef)obj;
    Export that method to the Row Client interface, add him to the pageDef, and invoke in the executables section of the pageDef:
        <executables>
    <invokeAction Binds="refreshLOVAccessorQueries" id="callRefreshLOVs"
    RefreshCondition="#{!requestContext.postback and empty bindings.exceptionList}"/>
       </executables>

  • SD Card not showing after Mountain Lion Update

    This matter has been discussed for some time now in
    Apple Support Communities > Desktop Computers > iMac (Intel) > Discussions
    SD Card not showing after Mountain lion Update
    Since the update to Mountain Lion, the SD slot does not show up in Finder.
    Someone gave a fix using the killall in Terminal, and that worked only once.  I have not been able to get that fix to work again.
    The only saving grace for me is that my SD Card us is always from my Nikon camera, and Nikon ViewNX 2 software is able to see and read from the card.
    Killall may have worked partially in that I no longer get the error message telling me that I have removed the SD card improperly, and need to dismount it first.
    However, Finder still cannot see it.

    Those are basics ... Been there, done that, first.
    Then you should hava posted all the troubleshooting you already accomplished.
    Does the card show up in System Information? Or is that another one of the "basics" you've already looked into?
    Does it show up in Disk Utility? If so, have you tried formatting it there to determine if it is a formatting problem?

  • Iphone 4 Calendar date not showing the write date

    I just upgraded to the ios 5.1.1 from 4.2.1. I have a Iphone 4. After the upgrade, my iphone's Calendar date is not showing the right date. in order for the right date to show, I either have to re-start my iphone or I have to go into settings/general/date&time and turn off the set automatically off than on in order for it to show the right date. I didn't have this problem before the upgrade. I hope someone can help?

    I had a similar problem and then found that my calendar was not set for the right date and year.  Check that first.

  • Airport Card Not Installed Error on Macbook Pro 13

    I've a Macbook Pro 13 less than 1year old. 3 days ago, I attempted to update my iPod Touch 3G from 3.1.2 to 4.2.1. While in the process, my iPod froze and I forced quitted iTunes.
    On the next boot, Airport was off. And no matter what I did, it didn't turn on. I fixed this with a reinstall of the OS. Yesterday night, I turned off Airport to save power. Today morning onwards, I see the warning "Airport Card not Installed".
    What could be the problem?

    No idea, but here is a thread on this very subject and many suggestions which have worked for some people:

  • Airport Express not showing name given

    Hello Community,
    I have the latest Airport Extreme and Airport Express. I am also using the latest Airport Utility, 6.0.
    I am using the Airport Express to extend my network. However, under my Wi-Fi icon (upper right icon), I can not see the name given to my Airport Express. Therefore I can not manually select it. I can see it's name in iTunes, if I want to remotely play music and under "Network>Advanced" I can see it has the "same" name as my Extreme, but with an "AE" after the Extreme's name. Im sure that means Airport Express. Also, of course I can see the AE and the name given to it using Airport Utility.
    Question, why is the name given to the Airport Express not showing up under my Wi-Fi ? I could have sworn when I first configured it, it showed up under the Wi-Fi drop down menu under "Other Devices", I believe it read.
    I am running Lion, 10.7.3
    Any help please ? Thank you in advance !

    By the way, I set up the Airport Express wirelessly. Should I have connected it with an Ethernet to my Extreme to set the Express as an Extended network device ? Thanks !

  • 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)

  • 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)

  • Airport Card Exists, Shows up in Profiler -- Can't find Any Networks Ever

    I've had this problem since November. My Macbook (late 2006 model) has an airport card that is found in the System Profiler. It appears to function as a wireless card. It does not however function for finding a network at all.
    I am trying to figure out my options for remedying this. It seems possible that the antennae does not work. If I bought a new airport card would it come with an antennae or is that a separate piece of hardware? I had a third party USB wireless card that I was able to use for wireless access, but it stopped working after a little more than 6 months. I live in a tropical climate and electronics don't always last long here.
    Would changing the firmware on the airport card be a possibility? It currently has 1.4.16.2.

    I have an iMac G4, airport extreme card was working right, one day the network list just did'n show up. I read somewhere here, the problem might be the antenna of the card...sounds like the card need to be repaired or replaced...

  • Airport drive not showing up as one of the options when installing new programs

    I purchased a large 120GB soundbank (Komplete 9 from Native Instruments) and need to install it to my MacBook Air which does not have enough space on the internal drive.
    I have a 2TB Airport capsule and thought I would be able to install the program on there but it does not show up as an available option when I try to install the program (see screenshot). Do I need to buy an external drive that plugs in via USB instead? I'm hoping I don't need a MacBook Pro instead...
    Thanks a lot.

    Programs usually aren't the biggest culprits in terms of space usage, it's normally data files that take up more space. This kind of huge library really is best installed on an external drive, provided you don't mind carrying it around with you. Here's how you install it on an external:
