Airport Extreme card can't see Airport Snow...

As the title says...My brand new MacBook (1 day old) can see my belkin54g router network but there's no connection showing up in Internet Connect to my Airport (Snow). It can't see my Airport Express either...
Neither show up in Airport Admin Utility.
My existing iBook sees the Airport and Express fine...
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jono

The antenna IS plugged in properly and I have triple checked it. More info:
My system: PowerMac G5 Dual 2.0ghz w/2.5gb ram running most up to date OSX. Airport Extreeme Wireless Card, properly installed with antenna plugged in.
My Wireless Network: D-Link DL-614+ 802.11b wireless router. Comcast Digital cable.
Additional Info. My roommates computer, a P.O.S. 5yr+ old HP desktop with a "free" wireless card on it, can easily access our wireless network along with 5 other wireless networks in our area. So I know for sure that our network is setup properly and has an internet connection.
I read the other post and what made me go "hmm..." is this part:
"The AirPort Admin Utility is only for use with AirPort base stations."
So... What do I use to view non-AirPort base stations or as Apple calls it "Third Party Wireless Stations?????" I've clicked the airport icon at the top of the screen and selected "other.." and have tried manually adding the SSID and WEP password, but I always get the error message "AirPort had a problem connecting to the network MyNetworkSSID." or something to that effect. So if I'm not supposed to use the AirPort Admin Utility to view non-third party networks.. how do i get my computer to read my d-link network???

  • Airport Extreme card does not see any networks...help!

    I have a home network that is working fine - 2 linksys routers with WDS set up... it all works great - an Ibook g4 running 10.3 and has an Airport Extreme card connects flawlessly everyday. As does an old G4 powerbook with an old airport card.
    however, I have this dual g4 with 10.4.3 running, and a recently-installed airport extreme card.
    When I turn airport "on" it never sees our network. And it doesn't see my neighbors' networks, either, which are also always visible.
    I can, howevr, connect via ethernet to the router that is somewhat nearby. that networking is fine...I can get on wired, but not wirelessly.
    I've installed the 2005-1 update, and have run Software Update as well to see if there are any other patches/updates necesary. so as far as I can tell, I am up to date.

    I am at a loss. Is there anything else I can do before writing off the card as a bad card - or perhaps the logic board is faulty?
    I hope there is a simple solution to this. I appreciate your expert help.

    Go back and recheck the Airport Extreme card installation. Make sure you plugged the connector for the internal Airport antenna into its socket on the Airport Extreme card itself - and make sure the plug is fully seated into its socket (none of the metal sleave should be showing).

  • Airport Extreme Card can't connect to wireless network

    Hello All,
    I recently installed an Airport Extreme Card into my PowerMac G5, but am having difficulty connecting to the existing wireless network. The card appears to be installed correctly, and Airport comes up and says it's running, but doesn't see any available wireless networks. An iMac 5 feet away (and no closer to the airport extreme base station) connects perfectly. With all the info about the antenna, i've triple checked to make sure the antenna is completely installed in the card so I don't think that is the issue. It's part no. M8881LL/A Model No. A1028 and it's installed in a PowerMac Dual 2Ghz PowerPC G5. I'm wondering if there is a compatibility issue? Any comments?
    Thanks for the help.

    Hi Duane,
    Thanks for the welcome and the reply. The PowerMac is an older one so I don't have the external antenna, and have looked around for one with no luck. I just ordered one and it will be here tomorrow so I'm hoping you saved the day and that's the ticket. Thanks so much for the help! I'll update this again if that solves my problem, but just wanted to say thanks... i'll know more on Monday.

  • New Airport Extreme Card - Can't Turn Airport On

    I just bought an airport extreme card for my G4. I installed it properly, but for some reason I cannot turn Airport on in OS X. The Airport Indicator shows up in the Menu Bar, and Network in System Preferences recognize the card, but when I click "Turn AirPort On", nothing happens.

    The next troubleshooting steps would have us concentrate on the AirPort system configuration files. These files are located in the /Library/Preferences folder on your MBP.
    The specific networking-related files are:
    NetworkInterfaces.plist
    com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    preferences.plist
    For troubleshooting purposes, you can delete (or move to another location) each of these individually or the entire folder. OS X will rebuild them with new default copies. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can always moving the originals back.
    I would recommend starting with the "preferences.plist" file, and then, the others (or the entire folder) next.

  • My non Apple WIFI card can only see 2.4Ghz Time Capsule WIFI network

    I have a 2TB Apple Time Capsule, running v7.5 & offering both a 2.4 & 5.0Ghz WIFI network.
    My Linksys WUSB600N card that is plugged into my download & media server (running Window 7) can only see the 2.4Ghz network. I've confirmed that I'm running the latest drivers for the card.
    My 13" Apple MacBook Pro and Lenovo X31 with Intel WIFI can see both the 2.4 & 5.0 GHz networks that I've setup on my Time Capsule.

    After a little bit more digging, I've managed to find my own answer. For some reason the WUSB600N isn't able to see the high 5.0Ghz channels, no matter how I configured the driver settings (ensuring that all the correct channel ranges were enabled).
    Once I hard coded the 5.0Ghz channel on the Time Capsule to channel 48, I'm able to see the network & connect without issue.
    Hope this helps someone else.

  • Ibook G-3 with old airport card can't see New Airport Extreme Base Station

    I have been trying for a week now to get my G-3 ibook set up on my Airport Extreme Network. No matter what I do, I can't sign on to the network. When I put in the password I get an error message 3151. I have no idea what this means. I have read everything, restarted base, changed network password, trashed all airport and prefs on G-3 and reinstalled. Although my network shows up in the control strip, it doesn't show in the setup assistant. Please help if you can, I'm about to go crazy! Thanks.

    Dear Duane, I did have 802.11b configured, but I had the WPA instead of WEP enabled. When I reconfigured my network, the clamshell was instantly able to join and use the network. I have many many questions about how to use the network to allow both computers to communicate, but I'll read up on it and I'm sure the answers will be there. You saved me $240.00 for the 1st hour and $160.00 for anything over that Techserve was going to charge me to come and set it up. I can't thank you enough. Everyone tells me not to waste money, but to save for a new ibook with System X, but I love my old clamshell and I'm going to get it a bigger hard drive so it can be upgraded to run OS X. It's the old 4 Gb one. I can't thank you enough for your solution! Now I can work on the laptop in my bedroom! I love Mac stuff and I knew the Extreme base station would work, regardless of what all the posters have been saying.

  • Airport card can not see network.

    I have recently moved. I had no issues with the my network on my G5. We moved, I bought an Airport Extreme and set it up through Qwest DSL. My G4 laptop, my iphone, my roommates G4 laptop and his dell laptop all successfully see and login into our network just fine. However my G5 doesn't see any network available. Like I said, in our old spot, everything was fine. Any Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    I've been experiencing similar difficulties with connecting to my wireless router and dropping signal connections.
    It almost seems to be in the same vein as SCSI voodoo. One day it works and another it doesn't.
    One thing that seems to reduce the problems is to use only WEP protocol. I have rarely been able to connect using any of the stronger schemes, although my wife and daughter using pro laptops have few problems with connections.
    My G5 does not have an external antenna, which I suspect is part of the problem.

  • Airport Extreme setup - can't see internet

    Hi, newbe here. I've got a Lynksys ADSL Router (WAG160N) which has problems with wireless connection. After exhaustive efforts to troubleshoot i've finally given up and got an Airport Extreme. I want to use the Linksys as a basic modem by switching off the wireless transmission and just using an ethernet connection between the Linksys unit and the Apple Airport Extreme. In setting up the Airport Extreme it doesn't seem to see the internet connection from the Linksys Ethernet. I know the Linksys Ethernet works fine as when I connect either my mac or my Window's laptop to it they immediately see it and can connect to the internet with no problems. Why can't my Apple Airport Extreme see the internet connection? It doesn't even recognise that an ethernet cable is connected?
    Thanks.

    scotty72, welcome to the discussions!
    I assume that you are using the same ethernet cable to connect from the Lynksys to the AirPort Extreme that you use when you test the connection using your laptops, is that correct? If not, then check your ethernet cable or try another.
    I am not clear on whether you have already configured the AirPort Extreme and it will not connect to the Linksys or you have not configured it yet. Can you clarify on that?

  • I can not wake the Lion and can not see the Snow Leopard

    Hello,
    I have a (White) 2007 MacBook, with a new 640 GB HD.
    It has 2 partitions: a 40 GB running Snow Leopard ( I am a teacher and have no time - and desire - to substitute my AppleWorks DBs  until this year ends) and a 600 GB running Lion.
    I have an AIM mail account but I can´t use Mail, because I never know if the message was sended or not; AOL said that my configurations are right and that the problem is with their servers, but they not returned the solution.
    So, yesterday I was answering an e-mail message in my journaling application, using Journler 2.6 for Lion. I copied an word from the message I got and pasted in my reply. I highlighted the word to change the font to Georgia.
    Then, something strange happened: the word Georgia became attached to that arrow that I use to click to activate anything. Nothing was responding. I had to Force Quit the Journler.app and all the other apps that were in the background.  Even the OS.
    1) When I started the MacBook again, obviously came the last partition used: Lion. It showed the 2 accounts for that partition, i.e. the Administrator account and mine. I clicked on mine and nothing happened, I tried the Administrator account and nothing happened.
    2) I inserted the disc I burned with the Lion OS, holding the C key: the MacBook rejected; I inserted the disc of Snow Leopard that I bought from Apple: it was rejected either.
    3) I tried to access the MacBook through a Cube running Tiger. I saw both partitions but I could not do what I intended to, that is, change the startup disk to Snow Leopard.
    4) I returned to the MacBook and I got a surprise: I could log in my account. But I only could see the apps in the dock, I was unable to open any of them.
    5) I tried several other times yesterday and today with no success.
    Of course that I want my Lion back; but now the more important to me is to get my MacBook running  my  Snow Leopard account. I register all the data of my students - presences, absences and grades - directly on an AppleWorks DB file.
    So, the big question is: how do I change the startup disk to Snow Leopard?.
    My resources are: 1 iMac 800 MHz running Tiger; 1 Cube 450 MHz running Tiger; 1 FireWire cable (to access the MacBook in the Target Mode, which I will try next); 1 iPhone 3G and a never used 8 GB pen drive. There is a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, that is not at home now but eventually could come today, I am not counting on this. It was bought in september of 2009 and I am not sure if it has a FireWire port.
    I thank you for any help.
    Best regards,
    Jorge Lucas ( the guy from Rio Grande do Sul)

    I am using mobilme now, it's working good.
    No doubt Icloud is better and a mindless method.
    My only problem is that I won't be able to use Icloud with mine 2 computers.
    1 is update with Lion, the onther one is with SL,  cause it's a CORE DUAL (no update possible!).
    So that's my problem, buying a new one or never be able to synchronize after june 2012.....

  • Can't see USB hd connected to airport extreme w/ iPad

    Plugged external hd in airport extreme but can not see using IPad .I have downloaded app for airport & can find airport but does not show hard drive. How can I access files on external hard drive?

    Unfortunately you can only access hard drives plugged in airport extreme or time capsule, from a Mac or a PC. iOS devices (iPad, iPhone, iPod touch) do not support this feature.

  • I can not see my external hard drive that is hooked to my airport extreme

    I have hooked my iOmega 1tb hard drive to my airport extreme but can not see it on my macbook pro. need help to set this up

    This is unsupported by Apple. You must configure Airport Utility to turn enable File Sharing of the drive in Sharing preferences and in the AEBS configuration. Then you have to "mount" the drive on your Desktop by selecting Connect To Server from the Finder's Go menu.

  • AirPort Extreme card and Netgear

    I hope someone on this group list can help. I've been around the web (MacOSXHints, etc.), and on the phone with Apple (for hours) trying to find a way to link my brand-new iBook G4 to the Wintel office system. They've got a Netgear wireless router (MR814v2) and Windows 2000.
    Here's the thing: my iBook G3, with an AirPort card, can pick up the network's broadcast, and I can go surfing the web & connect with our printer over Apple Talk. My G4 with an AirPort Extreme card can recognize the presence of the router, but is unable to surf it's airwaves. I've already tried connecting directly via ethernet cable, and this works - but won't be an option for day-to-day. Per some hints on the web, I've gotten the IT guys to upgrade the netgear's firmware to 5.03, but it STILL doesn't work. Apple says it's a Netgear problem, but the IT guys won't change the router (my D-Link at home works great), and they are loathe to tinker with the settings (esp. because they've set it up to have a dedicated line for electronic billing submissions).
    So, has anyone encountered this problem yet? Any good work arounds? Thanks, all.

    Thanks for the welcome, Duane. Yes, the network does have an access control list, but the while the router is picking up the MAC number on my G3, it can't seem to see the G4, though the G4 can see it. Is the suggestion that I convince the ITs to manually input my MAC Address? Maybe that's a go, if we can do it manually.

  • Which AirPort extreme card for G5?

    I want to add an Airport extreme card to my Dual 2.3 GHz PowerPC G5. I purchased it May 2005. A bit confusing is, can I? and which one?
    The Apple system requirements says :
    System Requirements:
    The AirPort Extreme Card can be installed only in computers that are AirPort Extreme ready. AirPort Extreme Cards cannot be used in AirPort-ready computers with an AirPort Card slot.
    Requires Mac OS X 10.2.7 or later and AirPort Admin Utility software version 3.1.1 or later to administer an AirPort Extreme Base Station.
    Wireless printing over USB requires Mac OS X v10.2.7 or later.
    This AirPort Extreme Card is not compatible with Power Mac G5 Dual and Power Mac G5 Quad computers introduced in October 2005. To add an AirPort Extreme card to one of these systems, please contact an Apple Retail Store or other Authorized Apple Service Provider.
    Thanks.

    Your Power Mac G5 requires the AirPort Extreme card.

  • Airport Extreme Card for power mac G5 help!!

    I have a late 2005 Power mac G5. I got an Airport Extreme wireless card. I put the card in there, and there are 2 wires i presume or have read to presume they are used for the antenna. I attempt to put 1 wire in the port on the back of the card. The wire and the port on the back of the card do not match or plug in flush.
    Then i remember I have the "T" shaped antenna and attempt to plug that into the back port of the airport extreme card. again it does not really fit flush in the back of the card.
    What do i need to acquire to connect this card to either the wires or "T" shaped antenna. Ive seen some installation instructions and notice that some of the wires have a more suitable connector. Please help! Thanks, ~adam~

    That computer accepts a combined AirPort and Bluetooth card; the standalone AirPort Extreme card can't be used with it even though it may fit onto the logic board. Click here for more information.
