Airport error
Tuesday night I ran software update and allowed my MacBook to install the 10.4.9 update. Since then won't connect to any wireless network(Secure or unsecure) thou it will connect through ethernet. I've tried EVERYTHING (messed with router and system settings etc...) short of reinstalling os x. (which I've had to do 3 times and really don't want to do again) Does anyone know what in the update would cause this, or how to fix it? (preferably without reinstalling os X) Any help or knowledge is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Yes, this is getting old fast. You think they would do more testing before they released these updates. Windows systems having this problem are one thing because of the massive variety of hardware. But releasing an major update that screws up hardware they themselves designed, is pretty bad. Plus, the 90 day complementary phone support for is appallingly short for a systems that cost this much. I hope some people at apple are getting their a**es chewed on for this crap.

Just erased and reinstalled the OS (Tiger OS X v10.4) on my old iBook G4 so I could give a wiped clean laptop to my young son. At the point in the reinstall process where I Select a Wireless Service. When I enter the correct password for my correctly selected home wireless network, it responds with a message box that says, "AirPort error. There was an error joining the selected network." What now? Should I just select "My computer does not connect to the Internet" so I can get past this point? But the fact is, connecting to the internet is about the only thing he's going to use it for. Aaaaarrrrgggghhhh! Please help! All advice welcome...
Thanks for your response, but the initial problem is that I'm still stuck in the set-up process. I can't move past this screen to get to anything else unless I can get it to accept my wireless network password, or I suppose I could go back one screen to the "How Do You Connect?" screen and select "My computer does not connect to the Internet." I presume that might get me past this set-up phase into an area where I could futz around with settings. But I was concerned about disabling something I couldn't fix later (me, not a techie!) by selecting that. What's the consensus? Should I just do that so I can get out of the set-up process? Will I be able to reactivate my AirPort once I'm just in operating mode? I really should be more technically proficient than this...

How i can solve 6753 airport error
how i can solve 6753 airport error?
IIRC, it's not uncommon to spot this after a firmware update to 7.6.1. And IIRC, wasn't there a 7.6.2 release today? Unplug the express, plug it back in, and generally this should self-resolve.

Airport Error after upgrading iTunes
Sheesh, this is why I hate to upgrade versions of my software when they are working perfectly. I'm on Tiger 10.4.11 and I have an Airport Express connected to my stereo to stream iTunes. I've had no problems until last night when I did the stupid thing an I upgraded to iTunes 8. Now when I try to connect to my Base Station via Airport Express, I get an error that states "An Error occurred while connecting to the remote speaker "Base Station 05f205". An unknown error occurred (-3256). The Base Station 05f205 has worked flawlessly until now. Is Apple falling into the IBM Syndrome where upgrades ruin everything?
I answered my own question. The iTunes Help menu led me to an Apple link to download updated firmware for my Airport Express, so it appears to work again. One would think that the Airport Express would open a window telling you that there is updated software available, like many other programs do on the Mac.

Airport error when attempting to import photos across wireless network
Hi,
I'm using the latest version of iPhoto '09 on a MacBook that's connected to my home wireless network through an Airport Extreme. Also on the same network is a brand new Mac Mini. When I attempt to import photos into iPhoto '09 on my MacBook from the Mac Mini, I get an Airport connection error that I dismiss by clicking OK. Immediately after clicking ok, I then get a "Can't find the original photo..." error and I hit cancel. I do this three times and presto the photo imports itself. This occurs every time I attempt to do an import.
My network is not dropping. My Internet connection is not dropping. My MacBook and the Mac Mini stay connected continuously so I'm not sure why I get these errors.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
MarkIt has nothing to do with the Airport connection.
This sometimes occurs if you’re importing a file into iPhoto and there’s already a file there with the same name. Digital cameras can produce many, many files with the same name over their lifetime, so it’s not uncommon to have several files called IMG_00543.JPG, for instance. Now you want to import one also called this.
What happens is that iPhoto compares the two files to check for duplicates. However, if iPhoto cannot find the file already in the database for comparison, then you get this message. It suggests that your database is damaged because iPhoto has lost track of this (or these) similarly named files.
A simple test is to rename the file you are importing - just add a character - IMG_00543a.JPG for instance. If this then imports with no issue then you might consider rebuilding your library:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Airport error after updating to 10.4.8
my airport is error (could not detect any network) after i updating system to 10.4.8, is anyone know this problem?
how can i fix this problem??
thx!I fixed my own problem.
It seems that my airport file got corrupt in the /Library/Prefences/SystemConfig. I just deleted the file and I restarted my iMac twice. On the second restart it automatically detected my airport settings once again.
I did several restarts after that to make sure it's fixed. Yep, it's fixed! -
New set up of Tiger - airport error
I am trying to go through the initial set up of Tiger on a Macbook and I chose our wireless network (from all those available) and then am asked for the WEP key which I supply and I get an Airport utility error and cannot proceed.
Hi Jeffrey,
Is the Router in fact using WEP? That's not secure at all these days if so.
Instead of joining it from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed. -
I have a brand new Macbook Pro. I have a G5 in the same room. I look at the network utility and it says I have about 3576 RECV errors and 42 send errors. I look at the G5 and I have no errors at all. Both connect to an Actiontec Verizon wireless router. Do I have a bad airport card in my MacBook ?
BrianI have a similar problem - I ran over it when trying to find out, why I can't connect to my AirTunes speakers anymore - I see the dropdown and can select them, but then it times out. Same thing when trying to configure my AirPort Express. Strangely I don't have any problems with my PC laptop, AirPort Express and the network are working fine. Just looking at my network utility, I 2850 of 3350 received packets are reception errors...
any ideas?
Thanks! -
IBook, graphite airport, "Error joining" options....
Hi folks. I have three Mac laptops here at home that I am using with an original Apple graphite airport. All three Macs are running OS 10.2.8. Two of the three see the airport clear as a bell and connect to it and work just fine. I'm using it as a wireless access point for a cable modem. The modem is run through a router so I have both hard wired and wireless access in the house.
The third laptop, a Snow iBook (dual USB) just won't cooperate with the plan. I can run Airport admin utility and see the airport on the network just fine. But when I attempt to connect to the airport wirelessly, it fails. It can't seem to "see" the network at all, and when I try to force it with the specific network name, it I get the message, "Error joining the selected Airport network".
Article 107938 seems to suggest a possible fix with Airport 3.4 software, but also notes that you must be running OS 10.3 to run that software, and I'm not.
Does anybody have any ideas for me? It seems strange that I would have two laptops connect so quick and easy and one that just seems blind. It had been working at one time, but no more.
Is it possible there is something wrong with the airport card in the offending iBook? I've tried moving the Snow to different locations and no difference. I even tried a different airport, and both Macs that now work with my existing airport saw it right away, no problem. The blind iBook could see both of the airports through the admin software on the nework, but neither one wirelessly.
I'd appreciate any thoughts!
Thanks...
- DaveNot only did that not look hard, it wasn't. Piece of cake, really. The iBook had already been off, so I popped it open,reseated both the card and the antenna, and put it back together. I'm using it now, in fact. Bad news: No difference. I still can't see the airport wirelessly.
I see your point about the unlikely nature of it being either software or settings. Had I known how easy it would be to reseat the card, I'd have tried that earlier.
However, now that I have tried it -- with no success -- things aren't looking good for bringing the iBook on-line wirelessly, are they?
I might consider swapping out cards between this computer and one of the ones that does work wirelessly, but I can't think now of any other reason this one has failed -- except the card. Do cards just sometimes... go bad? (I'm reminded of a cartoon showing a jar in a refrigerator holding a gun. It had the caption, "When Mayonnaise goes bad.)
Are there any other possible reasons? Or should I just plan to either use this one hard wired to the router -- or replace the card??
Thanks for helping me test and think this through!

Hello there!
I'm new (yes....) and I hope one of the nice users (I guess! ) can help me.
I've got a iMac 5,1 with a wireless Airport Extreme Card.
I was connected to a wireless router/network which I share with 4 other people in the house. Until the day before yesterday I had no problems to connect.
On the day before yesterday my computer switched off the connection automatically but I could connect to the network again without any problems after I switched the router off and then on again. But the problems got more worse and then I couldn't connect any longer even if the passwort was correct.
All the other people in the house still can connect, and one of the computers is a macbook.
When I try to connect, this message appears: "There was an error joining the AirPort Network "Boobies""
I tried everything I could, yesterday I threw the Mac OSX Software off my mac and installed new but the problem still exist.
That means something with my computer is wrong but I haven't changed anything. The person in my house who installed the network couldn't find any problems with the network so it must be my iMac. But I have no idea what's wrong. Airport can find any other networks but I can't get access to the network in the house.
Alright... I hope there's no other topic which is similar to mine, if so, please direct me to it!
And I really hope you can help me with this, otherwise I'll go mad!
Mads
Message was edited by: mancunianmadsSet the new Express aside for now and first concentrate on getting the existing network working again.
When you tried the setting of Link Local on your Mac, did you click both OK and Apply?
Power off everything on the network
Wait a minute or two
Power up the modem first and let it run 2 minutes by itself
Power up the Time Capsule next the same way
Power up the existing AirPort Express the same way
Power up other devices one at a time about a minute apart until everything is powered up
Check to see if AirPort Utility can see the network now and post back on your results. -
Connecting Windows XP to Airport Error: "Network Cable Unplugged"
Situation: Having bought a new computer I gave my old Airport Extreme (a model I bought about 4-5 years ago; one of the white pointy dome ones) to a friend, and attempted to set up their network. My goal was to connect the apple computers (one 2.16GHz iMac and a titanium macbook) to a wireless connection, and then connect their old wireless-less PC with WIndows XP to the airport with an ethernet cable.
Problem: The wireless network works fine for the Macs, but when I connect the Airport to the PC with the ethernet cable it says "Network Cable Unplugged", and doesn't connect to the internet. I have swapped the cables, so I know that they're fine, and before I attempted all this the computer was corrected straight to the modem through the same port and worked fine, so it's not the port, either.
Also, I don't think it's the ethernet port on the airport, as I was using it last week with an iMac and it was working fine. But on this I'm not entirely sure. Right now I have the cable from the modem going to the Airport port with the broken-dot circle, and the cable to the pc coming out of the (only other) ethernet port (with the sign <->). If I swap the ports used (with the modem going into the <-> port) the PC works, but the wireless drops out. So that's no good.
The PC is using Windows XP, which is quite foreign to me, so I don't know the tricks. I haven't found any other threads on here with a similar problem, so if anyone could give me some advice as to how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated!By a "128 bit password," I assume that you mean that you have the AirPort Express (AX) set with WEP encryption...correct? ...and that the Mac is connecting to the Internet without any problems...correct?
If you turn off encryption, can the PC access the Internet thru the AX? -
Airport error message when trying to connect to internet
Hi,
My iBook G3 has been unable to connect to the internet via our newly installed satellite service. When the service was first installed, it connected, but now it doesn't/ My G4 desktop iMac connects fine but not the laptop.
I have gone into the keychain control, deleted the network and then tried to reconnect, to no avail. The computer knows that the network is there, but can't join.
Another related issue: I get into an endless loop when I try to go into Network in System Prefs. The error message says, "Your network settings have been changed by another application." The same message shows up on my iMac desktop computer, too, although I have no trouble getting online with that computer.
Thanks for any help you can give.This article may help explain the Error -43
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107032
Even though the article is about connecting to an SMB share, most of it can still hold true when connecting via FTP.
If you haven't yet, you may want to try using a 3rd party FTP application, such as CyberDuck http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/14426

Help! Repeating sequence of Snow Leopard woes! Boot freezes, airport errors
Okay. I seem to be experiencing a cocktail of problems on my MacBook Pro that are similar to those individually reported in other threads. Apologies if this is covered elsewhere, but I've searched and haven't so far found a thread that replicates all my problems exactly and in the same way …
So here goes.
I am on my 3rd install of Snow Leopard. First time I updated from Leopard; second time I erased and installed, then restored from Time Machine; third (most recent) time I erased and installed and have not restored anything except my files from Time Machine.
I'm on a new MBP (2.8GHz, 4GB memory, bought new in Aug/Sept)
Each time I've reinstalled, I've experienced a few trouble-free days in which I think: Ah! Finally fixed it. Then the problems start to creep back in. They are:
1. airport starts to turn itself off. Its icon will be there in the bar, but as an empty triangle. Turning it on will not work (nor will going into preferences, edit locations solution proposed elsewhere). This initially only ever happens when booted from cold. A simple restart will solve the problem.
2. airport icon disappears from bar altogether. Again, only when booted from cold. But sometimes 2-3 restarts required before it will return.
3. system starts to hang halfway through booting from cold or occasionally on a warm restart. It will do the chime, get to the logo and progress indicator, then the indicator will freeze after a short while of spinning and there it will stay. Power off and restart required to get past this stage.
4. (Haven't yet reached this stage on my current reinstall, but happened on the others) After repeated instances of (3) which get more and more frequent, bootup will progress to a blue screen with a progress indicator. Periodically, this screen will refresh and the shade of blue will change; but the system will never get past this stage, not even on a Safe mode startup.
Once I reach stage 4, I cannot get back into my Mac, and will have to use the disc to reinstall. And the cycle returns to step 1.
As you can imagine, I'm getting a little tired of this process. That Apple startup chime is getting mighty tiresome. Is anybody experiencing this grim Sisyphean torment, or is it just me?Download and run Rember which does more extensive testing. I don't use wifi, so have nothing to say WRT your airport issues. Have a bootable backup/clone? If so, boot with it and see if the problem's still there. It's possible that there's something wrong with the hardware, even though it passes the AHT tests, and you might talk to AppleCare.

Hi,
My macbook pro was browsing on the internet very slowly for the past few days and now I cannot connect at all. I've tried going to airport utilities to see if I could fix this but now I get a message that says "Airport has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the internet" How do I fix this?Hi waiapu,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.

Had BSoD, entered single user, when rebooting get airport error..over and o
I had blue screen after installing leopard. I entered single user, removed some files suggested in another thread and then exited to reboot. I see:
Nov 17 Macintosh com.apple.launch[1] (com.apple.airport.updateprefs[]: posix_spawnp("/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple/80211.framework/resourses /updateprefs", ..): No such file or directory
I get this over and over and over and over. I assume this is why I had the BSod. Not sure how to get rid of it.
Any ideas?
Thanks!I would recommend the following basic configuration for your network:
o Configure the D-Link as your primary Internet router that also provides the PPPoE authentication credentials to your ISP for Internet connectivity.
o Configure the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) as a bridge and connected to the D-Link by Ethernet. Also configure the AEBSn with the "Allow this network to be extended" option enabled.
o Configure the Time Capsule (TC) with the "Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network" option enabled. It will be used to extend the wireless range of the AEBSn to the upstairs location.
o Finally configure the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) to join the extended wireless network so that it will be available for iTunes streaming.
