Airport extreme card is not recognize. what can I do?

I install the airport extreme card about 3-4 months ago, and didn't have any trouble at all. I used to move the computer to many places and never had a problem.
This Saturday, I took my PB to a friend’s house and when I turned it on, the icon didn't show at the top bar. I looked in the preferences and the airport connection option can't be selected (is in grey) and it says that any hardware was found. I check the elements of the computer (in "About this mac") and no hardware was found.
I unplugged the energy, took out the battery and removed the card, and plug it again. I have to say that removing it and put it back again was easier this time than the first time, it moved smoothly). Nothing happened. Still won’t recognize it.
What can I do? I bought the card in a tech ware house in Barcelona, FNAC who is a legal representative of the mac products.

Hi!
Sounds as though maybe your AE wireless card may have failed;
and if you've tried more than a few times to re-seat the card into
the slot and had no results, you may see about trying the card
in another compatible computer to see if just the card is bad.
You may be able to swap out the part to restore wireless access;
but I am not sure of any situation that may limit your recourse
through the reseller of the card you now have. They may not take
it back, in other words. But to find out if the issue is your AE Card
or some other potential issue is an important pursuit. So, if you
can, perhaps a reseller of new parts can let you see if a new card
will resolve this issue by trying a new card and see if it shows in
the System Profiler; and if access to the internet is available nearby,
to also see if it connects readily.
Good luck and happy computing!

Typically this indicates a device that has been hacked to be unlocked or jailbroken.
If that is the case, no support can be provided here.

I put my password into my airport extreme and says wrong password what can I do thanks

I put my password into my airport extreme and says wrong password what can I do thanks

If your password is incorrect, perform a "soft reset": momentarily depress its reset button, and launch AirPort Utility. A "soft reset" will lower the Extreme's shields for about five minutes, so that you can configure it with a new password.
AirPort Utility is in your Mac's Utilities folder.

I tunes is saying my sim card is not supported what can i do to sort it out

Where exactly did you get the phone? That message indicates that the phone is carrier locked to a carrier other than the one you are trying to use. Note that if the phone is locked to (for example) Orange in the UK, then you can NOT use it on Orange in France. They are not the same carrier, even though they have the same parent.
It's possible that the SIM you have is defective, but I would normally expect to see a different message if that were the case.

New airport extreme card is not detected

I brought a new airport extreme card and installed as instructed but my computer is not detecting it at all. Im new to using a Mac, so please can someone let me know what I'm doing wrong? If you need more info please ask.
emac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

this is definately the correct card...
How do you know? To identify which eMac you have, you can use KB 86325, eMac: How to locate the serial number and identify your model. Then you will be able to determine if you need the AirPort card or AirPort Extreme card.
What kind of keyboard are you using?
The command key probably has an Apple symbol.
Here are some other symbols for those keys:

Airport Extreme Card does not fit into my laptop.

I recently purchased an Apple iBook G4 and a separate Airport Extreme Card. Maybe I'm just Mac-illiterate, but I can't figure out how to install the card. I've studied the directions in the manual and online but the diagrams don't seem to correspond with my laptop. For example, my laptop does not have the grey wire or metal bracket that are shown in Figure 6 at http://www.info.apple.com/usen/cip/pdf/ibkg4/ibg4-apc-cip1.pdf. In fact, that whole area in my laptop looks very different from the way it looks in the image. The card doesn't fit/snap in anywhere under the keyboard.
Am I totally missing something? Is the card supposed to be installed elsewhere? Did I perhaps purchase the wrong card?
Any support you can offer will be greatly appreciated. Hopefully my question isn't too stupid!

Current generation iBook G4's have a built in Airport Extreme interface - they don't make use of a user-installable Airport Extreme card.
Does your Mac have an Airport menu item (the fan-shaped icon near the right side of the MacOS menu bar)? If so, it already has an installed Airport interface.

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.
system profiler says:
Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme
Wireless Card Locale: USA
Wireless Card Firmware Version: 404.2 (3.90.34.0.p16)
Current Wireless Network: wireless network not available
and in the extensions section for the airport, it says:

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 is not connecting automatically

I've installed an airport extreme card on my Mac Pro, but every time, I have to go to "network" and connect manually... any ideas? It's my only network and the "remember networks" is checked.

IMac G5 PPC without Airport Extreme Card.... Can install one?

I bought a 20" iMac G5 in November 2004 and it didn't come with a wireless card. Can I buy an Airport Extreme card from Apple and install it? I've been searching these forums and there seems to be a question of whether there's already an antenna in there to connect to. Would appreciate anyone's advice and guidance.
Also, is their a USB dongle WiFi receiver that works with this iMac? Just wondering if that may be a better option?
Thank you very much for your help.
Mac OS X (10.4.9) iMac G5 PPC

Yes you can purchase and install the AirPort Extreme card in your iMac G5.
I've been searching these forums and there seems to be a question of whether there's already an antenna in there to connect to.
Yes there is.
The best wireless option is the AirPort Extreme card.

Airport Extreme Card (will not automatically connect to home network)

Running OSX (10.4.7) on a G5 2.0 DualCore. I just had an Airport Extreme Card installed by Apple a week ago. Everything was working fine with WiFi ( I use a Lynksys Router. But oddly now when I cold boot up, the Airport Extreme will not automatically connect to my home network. The little Airport icon on the upper right is always greyed out ( even though clicking on the icon... says that Airport is "On" ). So I now have to manually select my home network everytime I boot up. The first week or so though, I didn't have to do this...it just automtically connected to my home network. I made no changes to the router settings, nor the Network prefs.

I have been able to get my home network running with simultaneous access to the internet with the MacMini and the PB G4 via a WL router (Netgear WGR614v4 with four ethernet ports).
This was the process:
1a) Turned off airport on both computers.
1b) Turned off both compters and
1c) disconnected the router from the cable modem.
a) Disconnected ethernet cable from WL router to Macmini.
2b) Powered down the router for 10 seconds.
3a) Keeping both computers unpowered,repowered router and pressed the reset button (behind an unmarked tiny hole in the back of the router) then re-connected it to cable modem. Waited 30 - 40 seconds until internet service lights flickered green.
3b) Reconnected ethernet cable to MacMini and turned on power for MacMini. No Airport running. With administrator privilege I configured in Syst. Prefs. "Sharing" folder Internet access using "Built in Ethernet" port for computers running "Airport".
4) Turned Airport network on in MacMini and started browser.
Result: Internet connection established.
5a) Powered up PB G4 and then turned Airport on.
5b) In Syst. Prefs. in "Sharing" folder turned Internet Sharing off. But set "Share your connection from Airport" to computers using: Airport with check-mark. (No Built-in Ethernet and no Built-in FireWire!)
5c)Started browser. Result: Internet connection established.
6a) In the Finder window of both computers I clicked on "Go" in toolbar and looked for the name of the other computer, which were listed as alias besides the "Library" and "Servers" aliases. Clicking on the computer alias brought up the 'Networked Globe' and a control button "Connect".
6b) Clicking on "Connect" brought up the mounted drive of the other computer.
Result: Wireless network operational.
PS: I don't dare yet using encryption for the airport network. That's for another day.

Why does my Airport Extreme Base Station not recognize my iProDrive powered external hard drive?

My 500GB iprodrive is recognized when connected directly to any of my computers just fine. My AEBS recognizes flash drives just fine. But the two together don't work. I have tried reformatting to exfat, msdos(fat), extended, extended journaled, none work. Its a powered drive so I'm assuming thats not the problem. Help?

Its a powered drive so I'm assuming thats not the problem.
I have to use a powered USB hub with a 1 TB LaCie hard drive when I connect it to the AirPort Extreme, otherwise the drive is not recognized.
However, I can connect the same hard drive directly to my MacBook Pro and it works just fine without the powered USB hub.
Try formatting the drive in Mac OS Extended (Journaled), also known as HFS+, and try using a powered USB hub when you connect the drive to the AEBS.
If that still won't work, then you have to assume that the drive is just not compatible with the USB port on the AEBS.

Airport Extreme Card Not Working Properly (Web Browsing Slow)

Hello people of apple discussions,
I have the original MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.5.7 installed on it. And I have a problem, my airport extreme card is not functioning properly like when I go on the internet, it comes up with the server "www.google.com" cannot be reached or the same with Yahoo! Back when it had 10.4 it was functioning properly with very high speeds. But, all the other PCs in the house gets good internet even my iPhone and the router is functioning properly. It's been like this since for about 6-8 months and i am very upset with my mac!:|So can I have some help or any suggestions!

Have you tried contacting your ISP? Sometimes they can help you optimize your settings. Such as DNS server numbers. I had a simullar problem and found out my DNS settings were wrong.
Do you have other computers that use the wireless single? If not you might look into your router to see if maybe something is wroung with it. You can always go to a wifi hotspot or a friends house and see how the connection is there. If it seems normal then you know it is your ISP or your router. If not then it might be a laptop problem.

Airport Extreme Card

I couldn't find an answer so here is my post.
I bought an Airport Extreme card from a guy and can't get it to work in both an iMac G5 and an eMac G4. It doesn't show up in the System Profiler. The guy claims it only works with older Apple Powerbook IBM chip laptops. From what I have read, Airport Extreme cards work with any mac with an Airport Extreme port.
I need some clarity on who is right.
Card info:
Model no. A1026
EMC no. 1951
if you need more info let me know, and thank you anyone that replies.

A A1026 AirPort Extreme card should work with your iMac G5 and the later eMac G4s.
It will not work with any of the Intel based Macs.
