Airport no longer operates after Leopard Upgrade in MacBook Pr0 17

For my macBook pro 17" I purchased and loaded Leopard OS two months ago. Ever since my AIRPORT HAS NOT WORKED CORRECTLY, and with the last update installed I have been unable to use Airport at all. The connection is either completely GONE or fades every few minutes to ZERO. My computer cannot find any new signals for more than a few seconds..then Airport SHUTS DOWN and goes dead every time. YIKES! I make my living on the web. What is Apple doing? Does anyone know?

Hi,
2) Set the Firewall in Leopard to Allow Specific applications and service and add iChat to the list.
With an Airport Extreme I expect you have been getting Error 7
If the Modem is a Cable modem then nothing should be done to the Airport
If the modem id SDSL and routes then the Airport should not Share An IP and also the ports in the modem need to be opened with UPnP or pointing at the IP the computer has after you stop it Sharing an IP.

Yes, I have it set
2) Are you running your Mac with the Firewall On ?

Airport card "not found" after Leopard upgrade

This may be an unrelated fluke, but it seems quite odd.
After a client upgraded to Leopard, her Airport card is suddenly not seen by the computer. I have reseated the card, but get the same result. It doesn't show up in system profiler, either.
Was curious as to whether anyone had seen this, or similar symptoms, before I grab a replacement card to see if that is in fact the problem.

I have the exact same problem. I do not have a macfixit account.
I expect the information I need to repair a a bad update from Apple would be on the Apple Discussions forum.
Is there any way I can get this information without having to spend $24?

After Leopard Upgrade, HDTV No Longer Displays Full Screen Apple TV??

Fairly recent Apple convert. iMac is directly connected to HDTV (Mini-DVI to HDMI) and A/V Receiver(Toslink). After Leopard upgrade, I now have a black border, on HDTV, no matter what resolution I choose (worked automatically and perfectly on Tiger). In System Preferences-Display, I am mirroring the displays and have Overscan turned off, because without it, the Menu Bar does not display at all. I am wondering if Apple is trying to force me to buy an Apple TV or if maybe I just need to be patient until the correct drivers come out? Apple told me they were referring my problem to the Engineering Department, but I am not holding my breath. Primary need is to view Photos and eventually rent movies, when HD is readily available. Any opinions, predictions or suggestions on resolving would be appreciated. Thanks!!

same issue here. Don't use it very often so could not remember if it was fine previously thought it was. Hope we get help soon.

After having upgraded my MacBook to Snow Leopard, the following error message pops when I try to access iTunes: "The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a new version of iTunes". I cannot now access iTunes. How can I resolve

After having upgraded my MacBook to Snow Leopard, the following error message pops when I try to access iTunes: "The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a new version of iTunes". So, now after the upgrade, I cannot access iTunes. How do I resolve this??
Thanks

zepel has it, but perhaps some more detail will help.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

IMovie quits after leopard upgrade

iMovie'08 just does not open after leopard upgrade. It says application quit unexpectedly.
Any ideas what to do?

I too seem to have the same problem. Am running OS 10.5.6 and just will not stay open. Have tried to find the iMovie preference file and there's nothing there which could be the problem.
I too am wondering what I can do???

HT1338 After i upgrade my Macbook to OSX 10.9.1, it complaint that my "WiFi:No hardware installed", what could be the problem ? Appreciate your advise.

After I upgraded my MacBook to OSX 10.9.1, the wifi does not work only the ethernet port works.
I check the WiFI setting, it complain with error message as follows "Wi-Fi: No hardware Installed".
Pls advise what is wrong and how to resolve.
Thanks

First thing I'd do is shutdown the machine fully (that means use 'Shutdown' not 'Restart' from the  menu), then power on.
If the problem persists, reinstall OS X from the recovery menu (power on, immediately hold down 'command-R' and choose 'Reinstall OS X' from the panel menu).

Not seeing Airport Express after Leopard Upgrade

Just upgraded by macbook to leopard, and now it's not seeing my airport express base station. the card is working fine (sees and connects to other networks) and the base station itself is connected to the internet (iphone can access it). when i turn airport off then on, system preferences will show my network as connected briefly before disconnecting, and after that i can't connect to my network again. airport utility does not see the base station.

Perform a Factory Default Reset on the Express as follows:
Power off the Express
Wait a minute
Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding for an additional 10 seconds while you plug the Express back in to power
Release the reset button after the hold period
Allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
On the iMac running Leopard.....
Make sure that you have the wireless turned on at the top of the screen so your Mac is connected to the network
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
When the Express appears in the window, click Continue
Enter a name for the Express and a device password, then click Continue
Select the option to Join your current network, then click Continue
Select the option for the Express to wirelessly join your network and click Continue
Click on the arrow in the drop down box and then select the name of your wireless network, or type in the name of your wireless network
Wireless Security = WPA/WPA2 Personal
Enter your wireless network password and verify, then click Continue
Click Update, then click Continue
Close AirPort Utility and wait a minute for the Express to restart. If your settings are correct, you will see a green light.
The Express is now set up

Worse signal with Airport Graphite after Leopard upgrade

I just upgraded my MacBook Pro to Leopard. Since then, I havent been able to get a full signal with my Airport Graphite. I've read the posts here about Leopard and Airport graphite's inability to be detected by the airport utility program. The same thing has happened to me. I tried resetting my airport base station but even that i couldnt do. Please help

that does make sense, that it could be the old ones.
BUT - people are having tons of wireless problems with NEW airport extremes,
airport express, and other manufacturer's wireless routers, too. There are numerous posts on the forums about all kinds of wireless issues with Leopard.

Mail sick after Leopard upgrade

Hi everyone
I originally added my comments to another thread, but that person's problem has been solved, while mine has not, so I had better post separately.
I had no problems with Mail before I upgraded to Leopard. After I upgraded, Mail wouldn't boot. That turned out to be due to an older copy of Mail still being on my disk, and the Dock and Login Items calling it instead. Deleting the old copy and opening the new copy, so it could run its Leopard setup, fixed that problem. After that, Mail would boot.
However, I was unable to download any mail from my POP server. It worked fine before the upgrade, but wouldn't work after the upgrade. Similar to the other thread, the Activity window would say that messages were being downloaded (and SpamSieve would log them), but they would not appear in my Inbox. Strangely, mailing-list messages etc. filtered to other mailboxes would appear in those other mailboxes.
I have quite a few extra mailboxes. The Leopard upgrade has rearranged them. They used to be listed under the Inbox and Smart Mailboxes (I installed MailTags once, but had problems with it, so I uninstalled it, but the Smart Mailboxes I created remain). The whole hierarchy, from the top of the sidebar, was called "On My Mac".
After the Leopard upgrade, "On My Mac" no longer represents all my mailboxes. It has been shifted down the sidebar, and now only contains my extra mailboxes (mailing lists etc.). My Inbox, Sent, Trash, Junk and Smart Mailboxes are now separate categories to On My Mac, and listed above it. I have no idea if this is relevant or not, but I mention it in case.
Following a suggestion on this forum, I tried rebuilding my Inbox. Mail crashed. It crashes every time I try to Rebuild my Inbox. (Crash log: http://www.riverland.net.au/~clytie/Mail_rebuild.txt).
After my attempted Rebuild, my Inbox was empty. All my previous messages had disappeared. There are plenty of emix files in my ~/Library/Mail POP account folder, but oddly, they are very old, many from previous years. Yet I only keep a couple of months' emails in my Inbox! None of these recent mails remain.
I have turned off Time Machine, so I won't overwrite my previous backup. (I don't know enough about Time Machine's bevaviour yet to take any chances.) My previous backup shows emix files up to the day I upgraded to Leopard, but double-clicking on them only shows a title and an empty window. (This may be because they are on a separate disk to the Mail app.: I don't know.)
I noticed that the Activity window would get stuck downloading specific mails, so I got onto my ISP's Webmail, and deleted as many mails as I could (some mailing list mails, spam etc.). Rebooting Mail after that, I could download a few mails, but again the Activity window would show Mail stuck on another message (usually in the 50s or 60s: "downloading 52 of 694"). If I delete that message in my Webmail, Mail will get stuck on another message next time I Check Mail. (I tell the Activity window to Stop, and it says it is Stopping, but never finishes. I have to Force Quit to stop it. Is mdworker related to Mail?)
I don't know if these "blocking" messages have anything particular in common. My prefs on my MacBook or my ISP don't exclude messages on the basis of size, format or attachments.
I use SpamSieve, GrowlMail and PGPMail. SpamSieve appears to be working: it logs each message received, even though they don't appear in my Inbox. However, SpamSieve's Growl notifications don't appear. I am unsure if Growl is working with Mail, although it still shows up in the Mail prefs: it is working with Speed Download. PGPMail still shows up in the Prefs and menus, but not in the message windows.
I hope this information is useful. I don't know what to do from here. Thankyou for any help you can offer.

My question hasn't been answered here, but I seem to have found the answer myself, eventually.
I decided to move the GrowlMail and PGPMail mailbundles to the Bundles Disabled folder, plus delete my two remaining MailTags smart mailboxes from when I had MailTags installed, then restart.
Lo and behold, as my old Grannie always said, I could successfully rebuild my Inbox. All my much-regretted previous emails appeared again! It was an emotional reunion.
Then I tried checking mail, and LaB again, several days of mail came pouring in.
Evidently something to do with the mailbundles or old smart mailboxes was getting in the way of Mail function.
I'll try reintroducing each mailbundle. I hope nobody else has this problem, but just in case, I thought I'd better leave my belated solution.

Password rejected immediately after Leopard upgrade

This problem has a solution posted WAAAAAY far down in the list of Leopard problems posted here in the Discussions, and the solution I'm giving here is easier than that one. So I hope it helps someone, since this seems to be a common (and completely avoidable) problem judging from discussions on other sites.
The problem is that Leopard refuses to recognize a valid Admin password immediately after upgrading. The problem is solved by installing the Keychain update, but how can you install that if it rejects your Admin password when you try to install using a password stored in... you guessed it... the Keychain?
The problem is solved in Apple Knowledge Base article #306840. It is very intricate and detailed, but not fundamentally difficult. In some other web discussions of the problem it supposedly affects passwords longer than 8 characters, but mine was exactly 8 characters, and the AKB 306840 says that it affects those 8 CHARACTERS OR MORE, not MORE THAN 8 CHARACTERS.
It only affects a password CREATED IN JAGUAR. My password was created in Jaguar on an iBook which was upgraded to Panther and then to Tiger. I then bought a Macbook Pro (with Tiger) and used the standard procedure to transfer all my settings to the Macbook. When I upgraded the Macbook to Leopard, I got the problem -- even though the Macbook had never touched a Jaguar in its entire life! (And probably wouldn't even RUN Jaguar, right?)
So I guess I had a "classic case" of this problem.
I called AppleCare and apparently got a fellow in India who took an hour and a half to solve the problem (after almost 30 minutes holding on the phone). After a few routine attempts which didn't work (including trying to reset the password using a boot from the installation CD), he finally started stepping me through the procedures outlined in the AKB #306840 (which I had printed out but hadn't tried yet; it was next on my list).
Oh and by the way before you do what 306840 tells you to do, make sure you know the Short Name by which you are secretly known in Unixland. My user name in AppleLand is "Jim W", which turns out to be "jimw" in Unixland. That's easy enough, but it's not "jim-w" or "jim_w" or "Jim+W" or jim%20w or some such. Look it up in your System Preferences (I forget which pane) before you proceed. The guy in India seemed to expect me to know what mine was and wasn't able to tell me what to use. Because I had printed out 306840 beforehand I was ready, but didn't tell him; I wanted to see if he would see the problem coming (he didn't). If I hadn't known the right thing to do, it would probably have extended the call another half hour, then gotten me referred to Level 2 support, another half hour with someone talking from Cupertino... Maybe.
It seems from other postings that this is a bug Apple knew about before releasing Leopard. It could have been prevented if Apple had simply told everyone with an 8-character (or longer) password to shorten it before updating, right? Then change it back (if you wish) after the installation? They would have saved having to pay their AppleCare person for 90 wasted minutes, and their telephone provider for 30 minutes of hold time on an 800 number.

No, your problem sounds very different. The light blue screen is something I get for a few moments during the reboot process. If your password worked the second time, then what probably was happening (I'm no expert; this is just a guess) can happen in almost ANY update or install process. Understand, updating is a tricky thing; you have a new system to install and you need to be sure there is something to come back to if the power is interrupted at a crucial point, or whatever. I've been told that in very sensitive circumstances, what happens is that the new stuff is installed, the old stuff left behind (in case there's a power outage, etc.), and when you reboot to use the new stuff, the first thing that happens is that the system checks that there was no power outage. If everything is OK then it wipes the old stuff (it's safe now; the new stuff checks out) AND THEN REBOOTS AGAIN, since it has verified that the new installation will be able to handle things.
So my (unexpert) guess is that you logged in with your password, it was happy, it got rid of the old, and then it rebooted, giving you the Blue Screen Of Rebirth and leading to another (hopefully successful) login.

After Leopard upgrade burning DVD stalls at Finishing process.

Even if i burn a really small file to a DVD it hangs for like 10-15 mins after writing the data at the finishing process. I also noticed that if I look at the dvd after it finally finishes, it looks at though way more data has been burnt. This never happened in tiger only after I upgraded to Leopard.
I also don't see the burn disc option when right clicking on a disc, did apple take this out???
Anyone else have this problem? Or an idea of how to fix it?
thanks!

I just had my broken Superdrive replaced. It now takes about 5 minutes to finish... it seems like a long time to me. I'd be interested in any ideas about what is normal also.

IPod no longer mounts since Leopard upgrade

My iPod no longer mounts since I upgraded to Leopard. I'm using a USB 2 port that's part of a third party PCI card I installed myself. Used to work fine before the Mac OS upgrade.
If I reboot with the iPod already plugged in, it mounts.
Help?

Forgot to mention that I had tried those:
Authorize your purchases from an administrator account
-> Yep, I'm the admin
Authorize using the correct account name
-> Nothing changed- I am only authorizing my devices, and only use my account on the machine. Definitely using the right account name.
Turn Off User Account Controls (Windows Vista and Windows 7 Only)
-> Did this a long, long time ago, so definitely not the issue.
Remove the SC Info folder
-> This was the only new thing that I had seen yesterday when I tried it, and went through these steps, to no avail. Still exactly the same problem. I closed iTunes, deleted the folder, rebooted and relaunched iTunes and synced the device. Same thing.
The problem is the computer IS authorized, and I can sync one device, but not the other. No problem with iPhone 4- just iPod Touch, 3rd gen. It seems to be in a weird state.
One thing would lead me to believe it's a PC/iTunes problem, but then it is only with one device and not the other. Hard to point to the root of the problem. I just don't want to lose the data on the iPod- I've done a lot of work on it.
Thanks,
Jeff

User account not showing up in login screen after Leopard upgrade

One of my admin accounts is no longer showing up at log in. I did the upgrade and password suggestions on the support sight... titled Unable to log in to account after an upgrade but still no good. The only account affected did have a password of 8 characters or more.
I go to open System Preferences when in a different account with admin rights and I don't see my original account as an existing user? I can see my original stuff in the user folders, but I am not listed as a user in the Account Preferences or Login. I also cannot create a new user with the same name as my old login as that name is apparently(!) already in use. I have an account with admin rights that is showing up.
From a different thread it seems that many others are having this problem thus I think it warrents its own thread. What is the easiest way to bring back my account and data... I know it is there it just is not showing up at log in.
tbigsmo wrote this from other thread... hmmmm
One more thing, I created a new user and copied over all folders from my old user account and that didn't even think about working. The last solution was suggested by the apple 800 number. This is what I was going to try next, but now am waiting. Also the other thread was very hard to follow as many folks did not have access to a working user admin account.
How can I find myself too?

Turns out you're both right, sort of...
* The Guest Account is hidden because it's a sub 500 user, so you guys were on the money there. (I hadn't realized it was a sub-500 user...)
* Using the hint at the link posted by V.K. to hide the secret administrator hides it ONLY from the login window, but not from the Accounts section of System Preferences...so, that solution doesn't work for me. (This is going on a master image, and the users will have admin rights, so they would be able to delete the secret administrator account...)
So, I'll just have to live without having the actual Guest account active (which I need active for use with Orbicule Undercover,) and instead I created a standard user (with a few parental controls) named "Guest User."
Thanks, both of you, for your help.

Screen saver no longer working after Lion upgrade.

Hi,
After standard upgrade about 2 weeks ago (mid July 2012) the screen saver no longer works. I mean I can certainly access the application and the desktop can be made to cycle through different photos etc. But when I configure the screen saver it just refuses to go into screen saver mode at all.
I'm not seeing too much occurance of this through the postings which is a bit worrisome as I'd thought this would be a much wider issue.
Cheers,
Herbie
