AirPort Extreme Card not being recognized

I installed an AirPort Extreme Card into my powerbook G4 15" laptop. I also installed the software from the CD that came with the card. Everything went just like the instructions set out. When I start my computer and go into the system profiler it doesn't show that I have an airport card installed. Also if I launch the AirPort Setup Assistant it claims I have no card installed.
How can I determine the card is installed correctly and working?

Which PowerBook G4 do you have?
Some PowerBook G4s require the original AirPort card.
Others require the AirPort Extreme card.

Airport extreme can not be recognized?, Airport extreme can not be recognized?, Airport extreme can not be recognized?

My Airport Extreme Station (4th Generation) is all of a sudden not recogized by the Airport Utility Software. I rebooted the Airport Extreme device a few times, disconnected it completely, and did it set it back to the factory default setting. No recognition. I tried configurating it with all my devices; IPhone 4S, IPad, MacBookPro and new iMac. Always the same message, even though I have internet access through the Airport default Wifi-ID. So the the Airport device works properly. Just no access for configuration, Does anyone has an advice to get back into the Airport Set-up through the Airport Utility program? Thank you.

Hello loving-truth,
I understand that your Airport Extreme is not being recognized in AirPort Utility, however you are able to access the internet via the Wi-Fi signal. We can give the steps in the following article a shot:
AirPort base station not seen or "An unexpected error occurred" appears in AirPort Utility 6.3

Airport extreme card not working with leopard / G5

I just upgraded my PowerMac to leopard (G5 dual 1.8, 3 gigs of ram, 250 GB HD). I bought it new in December 2004 from apple. Previously I had been using a USB adapter to connect to my wireless internet at home (Linksys WRT54G). This device does not support leopard so I got an airport extreme card from gainsaver.com.
The Airport extreme card is configured properly as far as I know but it will only connect to my network for about 5 seconds then it drops. The USB adapter worked perfectly in the same spot and my macbook right next to it works fine as well.
1. Could it be a bad Airport extreme card?
2. Is this a known issue? And possibly be resolved with the 10.5.2 update?
It is a fresh Leopard install with no updates as I can not connect it to the internet to get them. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi, I have the same machine (4 ram slots?) have you got the connector for the aerial that connects to the motherboard attached to your airport card. Mine works a treat.

AirPort Extreme card not compatible with Mac Pro???

Hey,
I recently purchased my Mac Pro without thinking to include any hardware for connecting to a wireless network.
I have recently moved into a new apartment which I am keen to join to a wireless network which has just been set up by my roommate for his PC and Laptop.
I was going to buy an AirPort Extreme card, but I have read that it is not compatible with the Mac Pro. Yet when I looked at the configure process for a new mac it was listed as one of the devises offered for wireless networking!!
I am very confused...
I was wondering if anyone could help me, i just need to know what hardware i will need and how it would be installed.
thanks, all help will be greatly appreciated!
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

the mac pro takes a slightly different airport express card. you have to purchase it at the retail store and have them install it. in my experience they will not allow you to purchase one and install it yourself due to the difficulty of installing it. best thing to do take your macpro into a apple retail store and see what they can do.

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.

SD Card not being recognized by ZTE Open (Firefox OS 1.0)

The SD card is not being recognized by my ZTE Open (Firefox OS version 1.0). I tried taking it out, putting it back in and it still does not work. The SD card is brand new and works in all other devices. I only got the phone and the SD card today so I don't know if it is a hardware issue or if it is a issue with Firefox OS 1.0.

Hello,
After reading the information provided about your issue I suggest a soft reset of the phone.
#Take the back cover of the phone off.
#Take the battery out.
#Take the SIM card and microSD card out (if applicable).
#Wait 10 seconds.
#Put the SIM card and microSD card back in (if applicable).
#Put the battery back in.
#Put the back cover back on.
#Turn the device on.
#Check if the issue you were having is still present.
Please report back to us if this solved your problem!
Thank you

PB's Airport Extreme card not staying connected - please help diagnose

My thread Airport extremem card can't hang onto wifi signal - what to do? in the "Getting Online" forum hasn't generated a solution, so I'm trying here too.
In the past few weeks, my airport signal bounces around and randomly disconnects me. It goes from no signal (indicated) to 3 bars then bounces around. It occurred with my own Airport Extreme card (in the PB) and my Belkin router, and the library's wifi.
The problem may have started after an erase-and-install of Panther with an upgrade using the combo 10.3.9. The only security updates I see receipts or packages of are SecUpd2005-004Pan.pkg, SecUpd2007-002Pan.pkg, SecurityUpdate2004-10-27Pan.pkg.
The usual troubleshooting (Permissions, Chrons, Disk Warrior) didn't solve anything. Since first posting about this problem I've reapplied the 10.3.9 combo. I tried changing the channel on the router and setting it to Protected Mode.
"Protected Mode
NOTE: In most situations, best performance (throughput) is achieved with Protected Mode OFF. If you are operating in an environment with HEAVY 802.11b traffic or interference, best performance may be achieved with Protected Mode ON."
I then installed Airport 4.2 update because Software Updater presented it as an option.
Until today iStumbler and MacStumbler were showing 29-35% signal strength with no noise. As of today, iStumbler is showing intermittent noise of ~14-21%, but MacStumbler is not. (It was constant when I tried channel 9 and changing the router's back to 10 made it intermittent.)
The router is serving a desktop computer via ethernet so I can't move it. I have reset the router and cable modem several times with no improvement.
Does anyone have any ideas what I can do? Thanks.

I would have come back to edit this, to say that the dropping signal problem came back since the 10.3.9 combo but I couldn't. The darn wifi signal was lost for something like 7 minutes.
The PB was sitting in exactly the same place and toggling airport on and off wouldn't reconnect it. It generated many lines in the console. Anyone know what this means?

ESATA PCI Express card not being recognized

I have a Macbook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz and I'm having trouble getting an eSATA PCI Express card to be recognized in either MAS OS X (10.5.6) or Win XP SP3.
When I plug a FireWire PCI Express card into the slot with a drive attached it gets recognized right away but the eSATA doesn't.
I can go into the system profiler when the card is plugged in and MAC OS X sees the card but the drive doesn't get mounted, or there is no prompt for me to initialize the drive (if it's a new, non-formatted drive). I've tried installing the driver that comes with the eSATA card with no change.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can try?

Hi,
Typically, this type of issue is caused by an incompatible enclosure or a card problem.
Please provide a link to the card and the enclosure for additional help. If you need an ExprressCard/enclosure combination that works I would suggest FirmTek.

Airport Extreme card not recognized

Hi all - I just got my new MacBook this morning, and am already having problems. sigh Immediately upon startup (first time ever), everything went well. I chose our network, entered the password, and connected to the internet to download updates and my preferred software. At some point during these downloads I think I must have gotten a bit greedy with my downloading, and everything froze - keyboard, trackpad, everything - and I had to force a shut down. When I rebooted, not only could I not connect wirelessly, the computer seems unaware that there is even an Airport card installed.
I can't activate it in Networking or Network Port Configurations, and it doesn't appear as an option in Internet Connect's Diagnostic mode or the "Network Setup Assistant" function.
I tried looking through Help, which suggested opening System Profiler to see if it's recognizing the hardware.... it doesn't appear under Hardware, but comes up as what I assume is a connecting option under Networking's main category... however, when I click on "AirPort Card" directly beneath that, it says No information found. Again it appears under Locations, but I can't figure out how any of this is going to help me get it to work.
We're working with a Linksys wireless router which is not the problem - my husband has a MacBook as well and has been connected with no problems all day.
Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas for what to do? I suppose I probably ought to just call AppleCare, but I thought I'd toss this out there.
Thanks in advance for any help.
13" MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

A couple of things you should do first:
1. Reboot your computer and then after the first "bing" press Command-Option-P-R (all four keys down at the same time and hold it). Hold these keys until you hear another bing, then you can let go.
2. After the computer boots up, go to the Utilities folder, find Disk Utilities, and then "Repair Permissions."
3. After #2 is done, find your Mac's boot up CD or DVD--the one that came with the computer (or better yet, if you have a newer version). Boot up from this CD and then using the Disk Utility tool on this CD or DVD, use the "Repair Disk" command.
4. After that is done, reboot your computer and see if you can get your Airport Card working.
By the way, steps 1 to 3 are basic Mac repair techniques.
Good luck!

Micro SD card not being recognized

I've installed a new MicroSD card into my Nokia Lumia 822. I turned on my phone and it doesn't recognize it. So I take it out and put the SD card into my computer and format it to NTFS and return it to the phone. The phone says something like, "This SD card is not in the correct format to be used. To format do Steps 1 and 2" Ok! I have the phone format it and when it's done, it doesn't see the card. To further troubleshoot, I took the SD card out of my old smartphone and install it into the Lumia 822 and it doesn't recognize it.
Anyone else having this problem?
Or
Anyone know the solution? Or is the solution to have them replace the phone?
Burningham

So, what worked, but was a lot of wasted time?
- You removed any microSD card from the phone, then tested all three computers and all three computers will see the 822's on-board/internal memory storage and you can transfer files from any of the computers to the phones' built in storage.
- Second: Then you put a microSD card in the computer while connected to the phone, and then you can move the files from the phones built-in storage to the microSD card. (Deleting them from the internal storage on the phone?)
- Third: Then when you put the microSD card back into the phone, and the phone does access the microSD card and reads the files.
Is this what works for you? Did I write it correctly? Are you sure the files you are reading are on the microSD card and not just the ones in the internal memory? Did this work with all the cards, newly formated and not?
Thanks for the information.
Is Verizon addressing this?

SD card not being recognized - DROID Charge

This error has happened to me too. Has anyone got a definitive answer as to whether this is a phone ("Charge") issue?   My memory card just stopped working.   When I pull it, use an adapter, and stick it into my laptop I can read it fine. I've backed up everything on it.   However, if I put it back in it doesn't work.   I've pulled the battery.   It still doesn't work.   I reset my device back to factory settings ("Grrr.. because I lost a lot of apps and customizations"), and it still doesn't recognize the card.   I went out and bought a brand new sd card (SanDisk Ultra 32 GB MicroSDHC Class 10 UHS-1) and it still doesn't recognize the new one.
Does anyone have any other options instead of having to buy a new phone?   I like the Samsung Charge, but so many of the apps I use weekly, if not daily, require a memory card even to work.

Media card not being recognized by Media Sync / Dekstop Manager or Windows

I hope someone can help me with this.
I've got a Bold 9000 running OS 5.0.0.411 (the Vodaphone offiical release, not the Bell one). I'm on Rogers though.
I have an 8GB Sandisk card in it which the phone reads fine.
However, Media Sync, Desktop Manager, and Windows 7 64-bit wont read it.
I've done the following to try and fix this:
- Mass Storage Mode Support is "on", doesn't help
- tried reformatting the media card through the phone, doesn't help.
- tried reformatting the media card through Windows, doesn't help.
- tried uninstalling Desktop Manager and just installing the USB drivers, doesn't help.
- tried re-installing Desktop Manager, doesn't help
- tried updating the "RIM Blackberry SD USB Device" driver, no change as Windows says it has installed the right version.
- tried both versions of Media Sync (older and just released version), doesn't help.
- tried another SD card, doesn't help.
- under Computer Management > Disk Management, the SD card shows up, but with no drive letter assignment. If I try to assign one, it doesn't work. Basically if I check anything but "Properties", it tells me there is no drive there.
Does anyone have a suggestion to fix this or should I reload the older OS? Admittedly, I don't know if even that will help because the last time I ran Media Sync on my phone was when I was running Vista so maybe it is not the phone but a Windows issue.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Been searching for the last two days and can't seem to find an answer.
Cheers.
BB-past: 9000>9700>9800>9780>9810>9900>Z10>Q5

Me too:
BB Pearl 8120 (OS 4.5.0.124)
Windows7 Pro 32bit
BB Desktop Mgr. 5.0.1
Reading/accessing the media card via USB always worked fine in XP, and still works fine in Ubuntu Linux (I could never get Bluetooth to do it at all). With the Windows7 upgrade, suddenly Windows can detect but not read the card. It's detected as a removable disk in Explorer, but when you try to open/browse it, Windows throws up a dialog that says "Please insert a disk into removable disk (F."
The phone sees it just fine, XP sees it just fine, Ubuntu sees it just fine. It's more likely to be a Microsoft problem than a RIM problem, but it's still friggin' annoying. Does anyone know a workaround for this? The Desktop Manager software won't run under WINE for me.
