Airport Card works Apps Do Not on Emac

I have an old emac that I still like to use for certain work on the internet.
I installed an Airport card that accesses the Uverse wireless signal fine, but then my applications will not access the internet.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

G'day,
If you open the Network control panel, what does it say?
Have you tried restarting the computer? Restart the wireless router?
Cheers
cosmic

  • Which airport cards work in Europe?

    Does anyone know of which 802.11b original Airport Card works in Europe and which don't? I heard from a friend that there are some airport cards that do not work oversees. How can I identity the regional propensities of the card?
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    The original AirPort cards, for the North American market, support only radio channels 1 - 11, and NOT the European channels 12 & 13. You could still connect to any European Wi-Fis that operate within the 1 - 11 channels, but not "see" those operating above that. If you need to connect to those additional channels, you would need to acquire a European version, if still available, from the third-party vendor.
    (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58567)

  • Airport card works in 10.1, HW test passes, but not detected at all in 10.4

    Ok, Hi. I'll first admit this is my first post so go easy on me!
    I just bought a used iBook G3 and it was working fine for a while until about a month ago when all kinds of weird things stared happening. Some of which those problems I solved from reading previous topics from these forums - but anyways, I'll skip all my other problems and get right to my current one.
    First off here is the complete specs:
    12.1" iBook G3 "dual USB series"
    500MHz PPC processor
    128+256MB ram = 384MB RAM
    15GB hard drive (NOW 160GB HARD DRIVE!)
    No Airport Card (NOW ONE HAS BEEN ADDED!)
    Multiple OS's - OS9 and 10.1 were included (have original disks)
    I also have a set of 10.4 Tiger CD-ROM disks
    Anyways, here is basically what is happening. I bought an Airport card off eBay for my iBook. I installed it about a week ago. I booted into 10.4 Tiger and it did not detect the card. Tried to do the manual setup with the wizard and it said there was no card attached. I went into the system profiler and is said No info available under the airport section. I then booted to my "apple hardware test disk" and ran the full/extended test. It passed everything (including the Airport card) so I know that is not the problem. I then booted into OS X 10.1 and lone behold the card is detected and is working without any fooling around with! Instant wireless internet! So I know that the card is working, but I want to use it in Tiger as 10.1 is almost worthless. So I boot into Tiger again knowing that the card is working, and Tiger still does not recognize it! I even booted into OS 9 and it detected the card (although it was having some connection problems, but at least I know that it IS detecting it.)
    Here is what I tried (so you can cross these suggestions off your list! lol)
    I've deleted the Airport "ktext" files, etc. (can't remember the actual names of the files, but I've cleared all of those caches and still no luck.)
    I've zapped PRAM
    I rest NVRAM
    I rest the PMU.
    I did a Arcive and install of 10.4
    ...All of which did not help. Again, the card worked in 10.1, but 10.4 is completely blind and can't find it!
    Now we are caught up to today. I was having many other odd problems and it all lead to my hard drive probably being bad. So toady I finally bit the bullet and bought a new hard drive from Best Buy. It took me forever to install it, but I did it, and it works! Now I have 160GB (make that only 128GB detected) of space. I partitioned it 4 ways as well:
    "Tiger" - 80GB
    "Other OS" - 30GB
    "Extra Space 1" - 10GB
    "Extra Space 2" - 8GB
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx- 128GB Total
    So now that I have a new hard drive (that I was told would fix all of my problems because my old one was "bad" I thought I would have it working today, but no. So I put in the brand new drive, partitioned it, booted off my Tiger disk, installed it on the 80GB partition. The install went fine. So I now have 10.4 on the new drive. Seems to be a lot faster then my old drive! I did the combo updater (which I downloaded on my iMac and transfered to a flash drive and loaded on to my iBook) Ran the updater, and now it is running 10.4.11! But then I realized, the Airport card is STILL not detected in Tiger!!! - I thought the new hard drive would solve all my problems as I was staring from scratch, but no, there is still a problem!
    I ran the Apple hardware test disk again, full test, and it said my Airport card is still fine. I didn't reinstall 10.1 yet (nor did I want to, I was hoping Tiger would work for what I wanted) but it seems now that I might have to go back and install 10.1 again. I don't know what it will prove - other then it will work again, but I don't want to use 10.1 so I'm not going to bother doing all that again.
    Anyways, after looking into this further, I brought up the system boot log (of tiger) and found these lines interesting, and hopefully useful to you guys:
    localhost kernel[0]: AirPortFirmware: start Sta f/w download
    localhost kernel[0]: AirPortDriver: F/W download failed
    localhost kernel[0]: AirPortFirmware: start Sta f/w download
    localhost DirectoryService[64]: Lunched version 1.8 (v346)
    localhost kernel[0]: AirPortDriver: F/W download failed
    it then lists the eithernet address and then ramblers on about other nonsense. If anyone needs the other "stuff" i'll try and save the whole log file and attach it here if anyone needs it.
    So could anyone please help? It seems as if i've done everything, and still can not get an answer on why it is doing this, and how to fix it!
    Please Help!
    Thanks you so much, and sorry for the long yet detailed message!!!

    Hey, just wanted to post an update to let everyone know what I ended up doing.
    Bottom line with the airport card I had is that is was "bad" - well only kind of. I got an email from a guy from a local PC repair shop. He told me he had just gotten one of those cards in and had it for sale for only $25. So I was chatting with this guy and he said it would be alright if I brought my iBook right in his shop, swap the cards and try it before I buy it. So I did so. Very nice guy and we swapped out the cards no problem. Right away it recognized his card and worked! I then downloaded the Airport update and ran it. (remember before, when I tried to update my card, after it restarted it was no longer recognized.) So we did the update with HIS card in and after it restarted, it STILL worked! It also added WPA support as well! We then booted into to Tiger (remember the old card wasn't recognized at all in tiger) and it ALSO worked in Tiger! I also had WPA support right away! So I bought the card and was all happy that it was all working again! I then figured out what the problem was with the old one.
    My original card was one of the "original" originals. Then, Apple "changed" the original cards and replaced ones with "128bit" support. (this is all before the extreme cards) I then found out that the newer original cards (the one the guy just sold me) are worth MORE because these are the cards that are compatible with the newer update (128bit WEP, and WPA) The cards looked exactly the same, but the newer card has "128 Bit" printed on the bottom of the card.
    SO, it ended up, I was "asking too much" out of the card I had - as the card I had did not support what I was trying for it to do. Where as the newer card I bought IS compatible with the update, and worked like a piece of cake. So all in all, the first card I had isn't "dead" it just wasn't working with what I wanted it to. So I'm going to end up selling it. Hopefully craigslist, but I will get more for it on eBay. so that is what I'm going to do. I'll just make sure to tell people this "story" so they don't try and do the same thing I did. But for someone with an even older laptop, an older OS, or an older router, this card will work just fine for them.
    So thats basically it! Looks like I got everything working!

  • PLEASE HELP! How to get (old) Airport Card working on (old) emac???

    Hi, I have an older 700MHz emac and I got an Airport Card (the original, I think).
    I opened the CD tray, connected the antennae and seated the card, but it still says "No information found" when I look in the system profile, under Airport Card.
    What could I be doing wrong? I've re-tried this a couple of times already.

    Push the card in really hard, until your hear it click - Mine was like yours, then I tried one last time to press it in real hard, and it worked... If that doesnt work, then you have a dud card, or your Airport slot is broken.

  • Old Airport card (b protocol) will not connect to Airport Express

    Hi,
    I have an one year old Intel IMac running OS/X 10.5.7 and recently bought the Airport express. Setup went smooth and fast and within 10 minutes it was working. I did all the software and firmware updates.
    Then I connected my wife's Windows laptop, network was detected and the password was accepted immediately so I got that connected as well.
    Last, but apparently not least, I tried to connect my G3 iBook running OSX 10.2.8 with an Airport card (not the extreme but the predecessor) so I could use that one in the garden but it will not connect.
    When I open the airport icon on the top of the screen then I see the network. If I select it and try to connect I have to enter a password. After a few seconds I get a message that "There was an error joining the selected Airport network".
    When I use the Airport Setup assistant to establish the connection if tells me that "the password you entered was incorrect".
    I was told that the Airport Express station is able to use a 801.11b protocol since that is what the old card uses.
    I checked the password, I used textedit to type it first and the 'cut and paste' but nothing seems to work.
    Long story but I hope I gave enough information for someone to resolve this problem for me. I cannot reply immediately to all replies but I will read them all.
    Thank you,
    Henk

    Hello CarreraHenk. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    When I open the airport icon on the top of the screen then I see the network. If I select it and try to connect I have to enter a password. After a few seconds I get a message that "There was an error joining the selected Airport network".
    Which wireless encryption standard are you using on your new 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station's (AXn) wireless network ... WEP, WPA or WPA2?
    For WPA, the minimum requirements are the AirPort Card & OS X 10.3.n. The AirPort Card will not support WPA2.

  • Airport card working but can't connect to internet

    hi all,
    airport card (just plain airport card) is working and is connected to a verizon fios router. signal very strong. just can't connect to internet via safari, camino or firefox. running 10.3.9 os. i've rebooted twice to no avail.
    altho, i can connect on my g4 powerbook using the same router.
    why isn't the g4 flat panel imac connecting? any ideas?

    In the Network system preference panel, is the wireless component
    selected and in the list of items in the configuration the Mac sees?
    You can drag the item(s) into preferred order of use, if there is more
    than one, ie: dialup modem, ethernet connection, airport base.
    If both computers have a similar operating system, it may be an
    idea to look carefully into each, and not change anything in the
    one which appears to work correctly; to look for differences.
    Does the wireless router provide support for 802.11/b as well
    as wi-fi 802.11/g? The older airport card runs on the older spec.

  • E-mac (usb 2.0), will extreme airport card work?

    Hi fellow discussionists,
    I just purchased a second hand e-mac. When I type it's serial number into a website, it tells me it is a E-mac (usb 2.0) model. I found some documentation on Apple's website saying this is compatible with an 'extreme airport card'.
    Before I log on to the apple store and order one, can anyone tell me if an extreme airport card will work with this model e-mac?
    Thanks for your time!

    My eMac is also eMac (USB 2.0). I purchased an Airport Extreme card and inserted it into the computer, then tried to run the install disk. But I get a message telling me that I "cannot install Aiport on this volume. My software is currently up to date." What's the problem? It says I must have OS X v10.3 or later and I have 10.4.11. Yet My base light is solid orange and I am at a loss.
    Thanks.
    Nick

  • Arrgh! (installed Airport card G4867... not showing up!)

    i installed an airport card (salvaged from my powerbook g3) into my desktop G4867. every now and then (more so every time i boot up), the airport card isn't recognized by the computer.
    what gives?
    i've repaired disk permissions, reset pram, opened the machine up to make sure the connections are solid, etc.
    "help!"
    -

    I'd get them to send you another card.  If it works, great!  If not, then the connection on the computer is bad.  If that's the case, you can get a wireless PCI card or a wireless USB adapter, but the PCI card would be better.  Test it with another Airport card first though.

  • Can my G4 Airport card work in my G5?

    I now have a G5 (Dual 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 [3.0]/PowerMac7,3). I have an airport card in my old G4 (PowerPC G4 [3.3] PowerMac3,6). Can I use the airport card from the G4 in my G5?
    Thanks

    Hi-
    If the G4 is a FW800 Mirror Drive Door machine, then the Airport Extreme card is compatible in the G5.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3024
    All other G4's used the regular Airport card, which will not work in the G5.

  • Macbook Pro Airport Card looses connection if not running a continuous network ping

    Okay, I have a crazy issue going on. 
    Since I upgraded to Mountain Lion, soon after my Airport Card started disconnecting from any network and I would have to turn it off/on to get it working again and then it would die about 45 seconds later.  This repeats over and over.  I have found that if I run a continuous ping to something else on the network it will stay live and not disconnect.  So, my Airport Card will stay connected if I run a continuous ping, but without it it will die every time.  What the heck is going on?  Did Mountain Lion put something in the firmware on my Airport card that is messing it up?  I have done fresh installs many times and downgraded to lion and snow lepard and still the same issue.  Is my Wifi Nic just dead or is this some other issues like the antenna?  I have a new Wifi Nic in route from China but I want to make sure I finish running through all other possibilities before it arrives.
    Thank you
    Kevin Monette

    I'm sure you meant to post in the appropriate forum. This area is for MBP (Original). You want MacBook Pro (Late 2008 and Early 2009) here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=190
    1. Try typing a $ before your password, so $password.
    2. Proximity to your router without walls in the way is helpful for proper signal. Proper orientation of your router is also helpful.

  • Airport card connected but safari not connected to internet

    Running os 10.4.1 on IMAC g5 with airport card.
    i am having some wireless network issues. when i try to connect to the linksys router that my airport card locates it tells me that i am connected to the network; but when i try to load a page in Safari it tells me that i am not connected to the internet. Internet Explorer gives me the same message.
    i have been able to test my airport card by logging into another (neighbor's) network (just for testing). it received DHCP from that router and assigned a 198.162.x.x. IP address for my computer. i originally had the same issue as far as being connected but safari wouldnt open web pages. i manually plugged in DNS numbers 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 from OPEN DNS.com and Safari instantly loaded web pages.
    when i try to do the same on the linksys network my airport card connects but Safari once again will not connect to the internet. I am receiving a DHCP IP address automatically from that router but cannot connect to the internet...
    PLEASE HELP ME (it's driving me crazy!)

    Oh man... since my last post (all of 15 minutes ago) my iMac now cannot connect to the network at all. The network status menu widget shows it as being connected (sometimes), but it can't actually connect to anything.
    Just as an experiment, I turned off MAC address filtering on the base station. Didn't help.

  • Vid card works with adapter, not directly

    I have two monitors available: an old CRT that has VGA connector, and a new Dell E228WFP 22" LCD that has both VGA and DVI connector. My card is ATI Radeon 9000 Pro (DVI and ADC ports). The Dell has worked perfectly for almost a year. The problem began when I wanted to add a riser under the Dell. With the Dell connected and computer on showing perfect video, I disconnected the DVI cord, put the Dell on the floor, put the riser on the desk, put the Dell on the riser, and connected the DVI cord. No video. I have done this type of maneuver a hundred times in the past with various computers and monitors. There is never a glitch unless the resolution is not correct. I can't believe that simply disconnecting and reconnecting the DVI cord will damage a video card. I reset PRAM, no video. I connected the old CRT with a DVI to VGA adapter and it worked great.
    Thinking the Dell's DVI cord may have gone bad, I connected the Dell by VGA cord to a PC that has only VGA connection (typical of office PCs). The Dell worked great. I called Dell and asked for a replacement DVI cord. They took a stubborn attitude and insisted on replacing the entire monitor and all its accessories with a refurb monitor. The next day they arrived and we connected the new monitor using the new DVI cord and no video. They tried the monitor on the PC via VGA cable and it worked great (of course -- I already knew that).
    Since the card works great with the old CRT plugged into the card's DVI port using a VGA to DVI adapter, does that mean my card is till good? I suppose their can be some difference in the pin out of the adapter and the DVI cord. Is that what I am experiencing, a card that has no video through a normal DVI cord but has video through an adapter?

    Sorry, I forgot to mention that I had already reseated the card. There are no bent pins in the connector either on the card or on the cable to the monitor. I even had Dell replace the monitor and the replacement came with a new signal cable. The problem remained.
    I finally solved the issue and it is important that all of you at Apple add this step to the troubleshooting list for a Mac with no video:
    I restarted holding option (could boot to an OS X install disc, too I'm sure). That resolved the issue immediately. It seems that the hard drive's OS X auto-adjust feature for the resolution did not work. Booting to the Startup Manager (doesn't load the OS X from the hard drive) defaults to some predetermined setting that is display-independent. Then all I had to do was press Return and it has been well since.
    It is interesting (and annoying) that resetting PRAM did nothing to resolve this while booting to a non hard drive video input did.

  • Will this airport card work in my G5?

    I have a G5 dual 1.8, was wondering if this is the correct airport card:
