Airport no longer works with WPA, WPA2 or WEP after 10.4.8 update.

A little disappointing.
After updating to 10.4.8 (I first did Software Update, then read here that the downloaded is safer, so I downloaded, repaired permissions, rebooted, installed 10.4.8 again from the download, rebooted, repaired permissions once more)
Now when I try to use the Airport on my MacBook Pro 17" I cannot connect to my wireless router (DLINK-524) with any security turned on (WPA, WPA2 or WEP). The signal strenght flashes on full (I'm close to the router) and off and I do not connect.
Any clue how to fix this?

Macbook Pro 17" Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I just did that - I tried a rollback with an "archive and install", and then stopped at 10.4.7. My problems persist... I'm actually quite amazed! Qurious if a clean install would solve the issue, but not curous enough to try. The way i see it, a re-install (even doing an "archive thingy") should include resetting all drivers. Well, either I am wrong and they are saved along with user settings - or else your explanation seems the only viable one; that there was a firmware upgrade included in this install. I admit - I did NOT read any readme. On the other hand, I tried my first install using the normal update.
=)
Anyway, after deleting all system prefs, deleting and reconnecting networks, repairing disk permissions and key rings, deleting keyrings etc. etc. - doing it all over again in different orders etc., I tried "arhive and install" back to 10.4.7. When that doesn't solve it, I give up. I have now opened my network - disabled crypt, and settle for simple connection control on MAC adresses. That works.
I would REALLY appreciate a fix, ladies and gentlemen on Apple. I mean really as in I am gonna egg your house if you don't give me...

E70 doesn't work with WPA/WPA2!

Hello, ppl!
Does anybody know if there is any chance that E70 will work with WPA/WPA2 encryption? Found it is not working with my home router configured to WPA but works with WEP. However WEP isn't strong protection and I'd prefer WPA. I just took phone to see it's capabilities before buying but lack of WPA would stop me from purchase - WM devices never had such trouble
'd like to hear from someone who do really know if this device will ever work with WPA and maybe it could do now.
PS. have installed latest firmwares to the router and mobile phone.

APPLE DOCKING STATION NO LONGER WORKS WITH TOUCH 3G and 4G after ios 4.2.1

APPLE DOCKING STATION NO LONGER WORKS WITH TOUCH 3G and 4G after ios 4.2.1 update.
I have both of these touches. I updated both 3g and 4g to ios 4.2.1 and poof...no docking station support other than charging, no audio and no remote function. My av/cable works with the tv, and the headphone jack still outputs audio, just no auido through the Apple dock and hte remote is dead. I purchased the dock from the apple store last year and it was working with both ipod 3g and 4g grrrrr...
Is Apple now in the bug trade business?, trade one for another....
Anyone else have this problem?

My iPod Touch 3G running 4.2.1 works fine with the Apple docking station.
Perhaps you have a loose cable somewhere and/or a dead battery in your controller?

Airport Express not working with WPA

Recently with the newest Macbook Pro airport firmware, my WPA2 network has stopped working so I switched over to WEP, and it started working again. I have a new Airport Express, and I hooked it up to the WEP network and it worked fine.
Just the other day I found out that disabling UPNP can make WPA work again, so I tried it out and my WPA2 network started working again. However, when I reset my Airport Express and tried to hook it up to the WPA2 network it wouldn't work. I could get through the entire setup but when I got to the end, when the Airport Express reset itself, the network would just die, and then I would have to hard reset the Airport Express again.
I'm using a Dlink 624.
I'm really frustrated by all this. I normally don't have any issues, but this latest Macbook Pro firmware seems to have really messed everything up.

I would suggest, reconnecting the Express to the TC again. Use the AirPort Utility to make ALL configuration changes including the network extending settings. Then restart both base stations and check that the settings are still good. Then disconnect the Express and give it a few minutes to initialize. It should connect. If not, then the issue may be either the distance or obstructions (like walls, ceilings, floors, etc.) that is preventing the Express from getting a signal from the TC that is adequate enough to extend.

Airport no longer works with my MacBooks. Help an old lady get wireless again!

First, I have to tell you that I'm as dense as granite when it comes to technology, so please talk to me in the simple terms you'd use with a dazed higher primate. Assume that I know nothing.
My story: I have the world's oldest MacBook Pro and am also using a new MacBook Air. I had a new Airport base station that was working fine with the MacBook Pro until I moved two years ago. I know nothing was dropped or mishandled, because I moved the electronics myself. But when I set up stuff in the new house, with Airport in a spare room and using the laptop in my bedroom where I have little room for anything but me, the MacBook would no longer recogize the Airport.
I tried moving Airport into the same room, thinking there might be something wierd with the walls of the house, but still no dice.
So I've been wired to the Comcast modem ever since. I trip over cables so often, I can do it in the dark.
Things are getting complicated now, because I've added a printer/scanner. Since I can't use it wirelessly and don't wish to trip over the cable every time I stand up, I hardly ever use the thing. Also, I'm shopping for a new TV and have dreams of being able to connect it with the Mac for watching movies, etc. The thought of using more cables makes me sad.
BTW, I'm currently using a borrowed MacBook Air, circa 6 months ago. It doesn't recognize Airport either. Airport is currently sitting in its box, bored and depressed.
Since nothing I own is under warranty any longer, I'm looking for free advice here instead of paying Apple by the hour.
Two questions:
(1) the ****? How do I get wireless again?
(2) Is Airport interchangeable with other wireless modems, like the one Comcast offers me?

When you connect your MacBook Pro to the Comcast modem using its Ethernet cable, you are establishing the same sort of connection with it that would be used by your AirPort sitting in the box. The modem does not care what is connected to it, but it can connect to only one device at a time. Most of them "remember" that device as long as it is powered up, and will refuse to communicate with anything else.
So the first thing to do is power down the modem. Unplug it. Then, connect your AirPort's WAN port to it (Extreme or Express, whichever one you have) and then power them both up. With any luck your MacBook Pro might just connect wirelessly like it used to in your last home.
If it does not, you probably need to reconfigure the AirPort Base Station again as if it were new. To do that, "hard reset" the AirPort Base Station by pressing its tiny reset button and holding it depressed long enough for its LED to flash rapidly. Then, the LED will glow solid amber for a moment or two, then it will begin to flash slowly. When that occurs select its network in your Mac's Wi-Fi menu. Its name will be "Apple Network nnnnnn" where nnnnnn = a code unique to your base station. Select it.
Then, launch AirPort Utility - it is in your Utilities folder - and it will detect that your AirPort base station has been reset. Click the Continue button, answer the questions, and it will reconfigure the AirPort to those settings. The questions should be self-explanatory. When you are finished you will be prompted to restart the AirPort.
The next step confuses people, because after restarting the AirPort Base Station the network name that you had been using to configure it immediately ceases to exist. AirPort Utility may as well just sit there forever so just quit AirPort Utility. You have to manually select the network you just created by selecting it in the Wi-Fi menu again.
If you run into problems and need more help, meaning you must communicate using the Internet again, just remember the first paragraph - power down the modem whenever you change what is connected to it. Make it a habit.

AirPort no longer working with Comcast

I have had my Airport Extreme, working great with my cable modem for the last year, but a few night ago it decided to stop working. I get a error that it can not get a IP address.
If I wire direct from the cable to my imac the cable works fine.
If I go from cable to Airport I can not connect to the cable via Wifi.
I have reset the Airport, etc. and it still does not work.
Any ideas on how to get this going would be great.
Thanks

Joe,
There were a couple of things that lead me to fixing it.
First, I did call comcast, because it did appear that they were blocking systems coming off the wifi. The stated they do not do this, but I have a feeling they may have reset something after talking to them, because information started to propagate to the search domains field.
Second, I connected directly to the cable box with my imac, and got the correct DNS Server names. I did a hard reset on the wifi and unplugged the cable and wifi box.
On setup my first DNS server address we my incorrect on so I was able to put the correct one in.
The grayed out one for me was correct.
I hope something in there help you out.

IPhone 5s no longer works with my JVC car stereo after upgrading

Hello!
I updated my iPhone 5s to ios8 last Wednesday (the 17th). When I drive, I synch my phone to my car stereo system (a JVC unit -- I can't recall the model number but it was installed just a year ago). After the upgrade, it worked fine. But on Sunday morning the phone experienced a hard crash and I had to reboot it by pressing the home and sleep buttons together. The phone came back without any further incident.
When I tried to make a call later that night I found that instead of my phone being active on my phone it tried to play music instead. I couldn't figure out how to stop this, so I turned off Blue Tooth. And now, when I try using the phone the Blue Tooth seems to synch up, but the phone cannot dial out -- I get a "called failed" message on the car stereo screen. If I look at the phone, I see that the phone has been activated, but it isn't dialing out. And then the phone will make bogus calls to an unrecognized number, or to a non-number. It will do this every 30 seconds or so. If I dial the phone manually, the Blue Tooth seems to work and I can talk to people hands free as usual. But when the call ends (and I don't always have a "call end" button showing on the JVC screen) the phone will again attempt to dial a bogus phone number.
The only thing that has changed is I upgraded my iPhone to ios8. Are there known issues around Blue Tooth connectivity? I also reset my phone to factory specs and reinstalled ios8 from my PC via the Lightning cable. This didn't change anything (I did that on Sunday evening). The Apple trouble shooting pages are of no help with this (I've already looked at them). I would really appreciate any help anyone could give me -- I think I've tried everything I know to do.
Thanks!

I upgraded to ios 8.0.2 and it still won't work. The phone will synch to the JVC blue tooth, but will not dial out. The phone is activated and it has the screen that indicates it is dialing but it isn't. And then the blue connection drops and won't reconnect.

IPad no longer working with projector and HDMI splitter after iOS 6.0.1 update

I just installed iOS 6.0.1 this morning. I use the iPad in my business tied into a projector via an HDMI splitter.
My projector was working fine, I installed the new iOS, and now I can't get the projector to recognize the iPad output. Just giving me a "no source" message.
Anyone have any ideas?

You can try these suggestions and see if any work for you. The first one is definitely an iOS 6 only suggestion.
Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.
Even though you are connected to the Internet, it might help if you reboot your router anyway. Unplug it for about 30 seconds and thenlug it in again.

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data.

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Airplay no longer works with iTunes

Airplay no longer works with iTunes 10.6; try to stream to speakers connected to Airplay device--use to work fine. Now, in iTunes, the icon in the bottom corner actually says 2 speakers, as it should, but when I open it it only shows speakers connected to computer directly. I have tried re-installing the AirPort utility and configuring it in every which way. I have tried turning off IPV6 in the network. Nothing seems to work.

I noticed this too and think it's by design. The new master volume slider in the AirPlay window is set at the highest volume in your list of speakers. Drag either the master volume or your external speaker slider to max, and you should get normal volumes out of your Airport Express speakers.
Unfortunately, the volume slider on the iTunes window seems to be the master volume now, rather than just the volume for the computer. So if you mute the computer using that slider, you mute all speakers. To mute just the computer, you have to do it though the AirPlay speaker list now. Unless I'm missing a preference setting somewhere... thought there used to be something in iTunes or Airport Utility that let you toggle this behavior, but I don't see anything now...

HT3728 My Time Capsule is working fine with ethernet connection, but it is no longer working with wifi, probably because of my wrong setting; is there a way to reset wifi setting without losing backuped data? Thanks you all

1) are you sure a reset holding the reset button will not delete my data?
Absolutely sure.. There is no connection at all.. reset is only the router side of the TC.
For the hard disk to be erased you need to access the airport utility disk page.. request erase and confirm the operation.
2) I can access to time capsule by ethernet but I am not able to input the corret setting by myself
Thank you again
I am uncertain why if you have access you cannot change settings.. but that is why you reset things so any of those problems should be fixed.
Here is the Apple info on reset.

And here is the quote from the horse's mouth so to speak.
Factory default reset: Perform this reset if you wish to repurpose the AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule and want to remove all personal profiles and settings first. This reset resets the device to its state when you first purchased it. Data stored on internal or external hard drives connected to the device will not be erased. If you choose, you may manually erase the hard drive using AirPort Utility.

AX will not work with WPA

My AX worked successfully with WPA security for several months, then stopped. I reset it, hard and soft, used factory default, but it would not work with WPA. Changed the security to WEP 128 and it worked fine. But now my Macbook Pro won't connect automatically. I have to run diagnostics to reconnect every time I started the computer.
Went back to WPA, now my Macbook Pro connects fine again, but the AX won't won't connect. Airport utility recognizes it when I reset it, but when I go thru the configuring process with Airport Utility, AX always fails on the last step, saying it could not join the network after it restarted.
Does this make any sense to anyone?

Henry,
Thank you for explaining Duane's approach. Immensely helpful! And, of course, in retrospect, makes complete sense. I'm sure there is a kb article on this somewhere....... ?
Which brings me to something in your post:
"do a hard reset of the Airport Express and use the Airport Setup Assistant to reconfigure it from scratch"
Am I missing something here because after installing Leopard, Airport Utility is the only Airport app I have in my Utilities Folder? I do remember Airport Setup Assistant being part of Tiger (but that disappeared as did the functionality of several other Airport apps (Airport Admin, etc.) after upgrading to Leopard.
So, IS there an equivalent in Leopard of the Airport Setup Assistant? Or do I use the Network app in Sys Prefs to Join an already existing network (going the route of a hard reset of AX)?
Usually, David Pogue's MM book on OS X is helpful in filling in the gaps, but his new Leopard book seems a bit sketchy this time on setting up a wireless network. I think this subject (setting up a wireless network, etc.) could almost get a MM of it's own!
If I may, can I address a related issue? Previously, in setting up the AEBS and AX to work together you do end up with what LOOKS like TWO networks (both have their own Apple network numbers and letters) even though they are working in tandem as 1 network, right?
I bought the AX to extend the range of my network because it seemed the signal from the AEBS was not quite strong enough. I set it up to be a "remote" to the AEBS's "main." I also use the AX to stream iTunes to my living room's sound system.
Again, many thanks for your help.

Xbox live not working in WPA/WPA2 personal mode.

Xbox Live is not working in WPA/WPA2 personal mode. It does, however, work in WEP mode. I have 2 windows laptops on my wireless network. when I am on WEP, the laptop is stuck in a perpetual "Acquiring Network Address" state. When I have WPA/WPA2 enabled, my laptops work fine, but xbox live cuts in and out of detecting my network, and I cant even get close to connecting at all.
So until I figure this out, I have to choose between WEP (xbox live working, and not PCs) WPA(PCs working, not xbox live) or unsecured (risky). what should I do?

Thats strange topcat, i have exactly the same problem as you except that when i am in WEP encryption my xbox cant even see the extreme on the network and i cant even get it it to connect at all. In WPA mode the xbox sees the network but will not connect. I have rang xbox and they say that it should work and that the problem lies with Apple, although i dont believe this personally. In the meantime ive had to hardwire the xbox to the router which isnt why i bought the router. Disappointed

Function keys no longer working with a new keyboard...

I got a new keyboard and my function keys no longer work with it. I am used to have them used in the standard format, i.e. F10-F12 control the voume, etc. I have the "Use all f1,f2, etc." button clicked. I have also tried restarting my computer. Any thoughts?

Try doing a SMC reset and PRAM reset.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
