Airport not connecting 2nd computer

HI there I have an iMac G5 and my brother has an iMac G4, We had previously both been able to connect to the internet via the Airport. My brother recently had to reboot the computer as he was having problems. Now he cannot connect to the internet at all via the airport. The modem and airport are next to my mac. On my brothers G4 it now keeps asking for a password which we cannot remember. Is there a way of retrieving this password? If anyone can help it would be of much help.

Hi ok we got it fixed sum how but as my brothers comp is a very old G4 iMac he had to wipe the comp and reinstall all the programs etc. Now it's all back on there etc etc. However we are having the same problem with the wireless internet connection. My G5 is fine however when he attempts to connect it constantly asks for a password. I have rest the airport extreme equipment and still no luck with connection for the G4! It was working fine earlier. I have tried to look for a 'change password' button but cant find it. It asks for an admin password which i have typed in and it works fine on mine. But doesn't on the G4! The G4 is on OSX 10.3.1 and has got a pending update to 10.3.9 will downloading and updating to this be of any use? HELP!!!

ipad not connected to computer. erreo number (0xE8000084)

Hello Mohamed Abdo,
It sounds like you are unable to connect your iPad to the computer because you get this error code when you try. I would use the troubleshooting for these types of errors from the following article:
iOS: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting to a Windows PC
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3221
Start with these steps, and there are additional steps in the article if you need them:
1. Restart your computer.
2. Install the latest version of iTunes.
3. Verify that your computer meets the minimum system requirements. iOS devices require the following minimum version of Windows:
Windows XP Service Pack 3
Windows Vista
Windows 7
Windows 8
4. Download and install any available software updates from Microsoft.
5. Connect the device directly to your computer; not to an external USB hub. Find out if your computer has USB 2.0 ports.
6. Check that the Dock Connector or Lightning Connector on both the device and cable are clean of any lint or other debris. If possible, connect your device using a different Apple 30-pin to USB cable or Apple Lightning Connector to USB cable.
7. Disconnect other USB peripherals from your computer, with the exception of your keyboard and mouse. After disconnecting these peripherals, restart your computer, connect your device, and open iTunes.
8. Connect your device to a different USB port on your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

OfficeJet 6500 709e says it's not connected to computer

When I press the "wrench" button onmy printer, then press something to get help on anything, the LCD dispay shows "Not connected to computer"
Yet, I can print fine using my computer.
I have a wired setup.
How can I get the printer to think it's connected to my computer?

What is the exact wording of the error message?
What are you trying to do?
The USB connection provides not internet connectivity. The iPod can only connect to the internet via wifi

You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
Seriously? It's physically broken!

Ipod touch screen shows connecting to itunes when not connected to computer and will not go to start screen also will not connect to itunes get message that passcode needs to be entered but cannot get to that screen on ipod

ipod touch shows connecting to itunes on screen even when not connected to computer. cannot get to start screen to enter my passcode

Place the iPod in recovery mode to bypass the passcode (and essentially erase your iPod) and then restore via iTunes on your computer.

Airport not connecting computer to internet

my airport express was connecting my computer to the internet fine 2 hours ago, but suddenly, it stopped. i tried connecting my computer directly to the modem, and i am able to connect to the internet, so i'm figuring something is odd w/ the airport (the power light for the airport goes on when you plug it into the wall, so it's not that it completely died). any suggestions?

There are several possibilities:
(1) the "it was a glitch" category. Perhaps your ISP dropped their connection, and it started up again just before you plugged your Mac directly into the modem. Perhaps your ISP reset your connection (yes, they do that sometimes). Perhaps some heavy radio interference started up (a portable phone, microwave oven, neighboring wireless network,...) which knocked off your wireless connection.
(2) a true hardware failure of the Airport Express, or the wireless interface on your Mac.
Connect up your Airport Express again - and confirm it shows a solid green status light (may take a minute). Then see if your Mac "sees" its wireless network. If it does, then try to connect and see what happens. Let us know how this all turns out.

Airport not connecting computer to speakers

a few days ago, i had troubles connecting my computer to my airport express, but after unplugging it for a while and plugging it back in, it began working again.
but, since then, whenever i try and play music through iTunes/airport express (through my stereo amplifier), all that comes out of the speakers is a low hum. any advice?

It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference that has been introduced recently in the immediate area that is preventing you from getting a good clean signal.
I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like MacStumbler or iStumbler to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible.

IBook not connecting: Other computer has no problem

We connect to the net via an ethernet cable using PPOE. We are not usually on at the same time, so we just unplug the cable from whichever computer is using it and plug it in the other. Never had any problems swapping the cable between computers when one of us wanted to use the net.
Now my wife's iBook isn't connecting. My PowerBook has no problems, but when her iBook tries to connect, it says that authentication failed. When I ran diagnostics, it said that the cable was not plugged in or that it was not connected to a network.
I've tried: repair permissions, turning it off and back on again, typing in ID/password manually, using the assistant, deleting Quicktime and prefs (saw this on a post), unplugging iBook and taking out battery for half-hour (had to reset time and date).
I can share my connection via airport, but her Safari is SLooooooow and when I tried to do a software update on her iBook using this shared connection, it would not connect (lost network connection (-1005.) When I hit "Network Diagnostics", it all came back green: no problems.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

ok, the quicktime compatibility update (took several tries and about two hours to download) seems to have done the trick.
fun fun fun.

Airport not connecting...not working

A few days ago, (what seemed like) the power supply went on my Time Capsule. I found this very disappointing to see the product fail like that. Since then, I connected my wireless network through my Airport Express. It worked for a few days, and then lost connection to the internet. It still has a power supply, but it won't connect. Now it is just blinking orange (even though when it lost connection, it was solid green). I have had to take the ethernet cable out of it and connect directly to my computer.
The Airport Express is still plugged in and is now still blinking orange. I say now, because, even when it was solid green, it wasn't allowing my computer to connect to the internet. I have gone through just about every troubleshooting step imaginable, including resetting my cable modem and calling my cable company, Airport Utility.... Every time I use Airport Utility and try to connect to my network, it tells me either there was a "connection timeout" or that it failed to connect and that I need to make sure the network name or password are correct (they are correct). Now I can't get the Airport Express to stop blinking orange, or to stay green. In fact, I can't seem to do anything to get my computer to recognize it. It is as though it is invisible, so it won't even let me troubleshoot what is wrong with it. What happened to the days where "Apple" was just so darn easy?
At this point, I really don't know what to do and I am starting to lose a little faith in Apple products.
What am I missing here to get this thing corrected?

Hi, I have a very similar problem, and I can not find a solution:
I have an Intel iMac and Im using a BT Voyager 2091 as my router.
The router is set up and working with my PC.
Airport is recieving the signal from the router but when I open Safari it is saying I am not connected to the internet.
I then plugged the Ethernet cable from the router to the iMac and I got the internet straight away. I am sure the problem is with airport and I have tried many different things to get it working but still no luck.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Airport not connecting automatically

Whenever I restart or wake-up my computer, I find Airport has turned off. Then when I try to turn it on from the menu icon, most times it just switches back off again. Usually it stays on the second time I click it. Also then it doesn't automatically connect to my known networks, even though I have it set up to do this. It first has to scan for the network, then when I click the network it usually connects, but every now and then will ask me for WPA password again. I know it's not a train smash, but it's quite annoying.

Hello Runs...
Nero Wolfe is right about updating the router firmware. And if that doesn't do the trick, try this:
• Open KeyChain Access
• Delete any entries for your preferred wireless network
• Open System Preferences -> Network
• You are probably using a location called Automatic.
• Click on Assistant -> Assist Me
• Enter the Location Name AirportOnly (no space)
• Select I use AirPort to connect to the internet wirelessly
• Follow instructions to connect to your wifi network
• Be sure to Click the check box for Remember this Network, and
• Be sure to click Always Allow when it asks if you want to access the password in your keychain.
• Shutdown and restart the computer
• Open System Preferences -> Network
• Make sure you are now using the Location you created above (AirportOnly)
• On the left side of the window, click on every connection except the Airport and delete the connection using the minus sign at the bottom of the window
• Click on Advanced. At this point you should only have one network in the preferred networks window. If there is more than one, delete any networks you are not actually using, and drag your primary wifi network to the top of the list.
• Remove the checkmark from Disconnect from wireless networks ... and
• Remove the checkmark from Require Administrator password to control Airport.
• Click OK
• Click Apply.
• Shut down the computer and restart.
hope that helps.

Officejet 4630 will not connect to computer to scan.

When I first got the product it scanned a few times but now will not connect to my computer to scan even after re-downloading drivers and entering a printer claim code.

I would recommend using the HP Print and Scan Doctor to help diagnose and resolve your connection issue.

My iPad is disabled and I can not input my passcode. what do i need to do? I tried to connect to iTunes, but it will not allow me to connect via compute USB as I cannot input my passcode for the iPad.

You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/re-sync your content to it

Airport not connecting

Having a problem with my airport, cannot connect to the internet wirelessly. It is not a distance problem as a laptop sitting right next to it registers three out of five bars and works perfectly. Been having this problem for several months, at first the connection was just dropping off and not working on occasion but every softwear update since then seems to have made it worse and worse. Now my internet does not work at all although it seems to pick up the signal but not connect. Any help fixing this would be appreciated, have tried a number of fixes and been through every used every help tool for connection issues available in the network preferences menu. I have several other issues with this mac however I use it for work and cannot afford for it to be away for repair at the moment. My other issues include dead pixels, optical eye doesn't work (cannot read any type of disc, DVD, softwear disc, CD you name it) And some form of leakage on the top left hand side of the screen that cases a shadow on the display. Has anyone else had problems like this? I love this mac like a baby so its not a chase of rough handling or not looking after it properly. This is my first mac and I can honestly say I am very disappointed by the quality of the product after all the good things I've heard about apple.

hi,
your problem is not with the airport, it is how you have configured it,you need to check system pref. and make sure you eleminate all security first, you can do this also in the internet connection app as well, this sounds like a firewall issue/
