AirPort not connecting after lightning.

Following a lightning strike, the cable company got all their equipment working. My AirPort shows a solid green light but I cannot get it to connect.  Any tips?

I suppose that it's possible that the Airport could have suffered some damage, although they are pretty rugged.  However, I suspect that you may be experiencing some wi fi interference because if you have your channel selection on automatic, the Airport would probably have changed channels and may have landed on a busy channel after the power went out.  So, try powering down the Airport and see if that helps. Otherwise, I can't think of anything else to suggest.

    Internet not connecting after ios 7.0.2 update on iphone 5

    Hi there PompasJr,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting

    Camera isn't functioning
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash (iPhone 4 only); try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center. Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. After recording begins, you cannot readjust focus until you stop recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll. Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

  • ISCSI initiator not connecting after upgradation

    HI,   
    iSCSI initiator not connecting after upgradation from windows 2003 STD to windows 2008 STD R2 server, upgradation was successfully completed, except Microsoft iSCSI initiator connectivity, the initiaor interface show it as 'reconnecting'....!!!!!
    Kindly guide on this.
    Thanks in Advance

    HI Shaon Shan,
    Thanks for the info.
    While searching for the file names start with iscsi in c:\windows\system32 folder the file version is 5.2.3790.3825 in working windows 2003  server.
    Recently I've downloaded (Not yet installed) iSCSI initiator for Windows 2008 from Microsoft website in that iSCSI initiator file version shown as 6.3.4.1, instead of using inbuilt Microsoft iSCSI initiator in W2K8, shall I try installing the downloaded
    version,
    because when I checked in Windows 2008 (Upgraded version) the iSCSI file version remains the same as 5.2.3790.3825 which was found in windows 2003.
    Post to our previous discussion
    While I'm trying to install the new iSCSI initiator for Windows 2008 downloaded from Microsoft website, it shows some error "Setupcould not find the update.inf file needed to update your system" then I've updated my server, but no luck still showing the
    same....!!!!

  • TS1538 Still not connecting after all these steps were done, what is the solution?

    Still not connecting after all these steps were done, what is the solution?

    Tried a different cable, this cable will now charge the ipod, but will not be recognized by the computer as even being a drive.
    haven't tried a different computer because I really don't want itunes instaled on it.

  • IOS 6 Facetime not connecting after upgrade in UAE It was before on an Ipad purchased in Uk, I am miserable, I know its the carrier Etisalat, I sincerely some one finds a fix for this.

    OS 6 Facetime not connecting after upgrade in UAE It was before on an Ipad purchased in Uk, I am miserable, I know its the carrier Etisalat, I sincerely some one finds a fix for this help.

    I attempted to uninstall QT and reinstall- the QT 7.4 installer failed to install (it said a more up to date version was present, even though I'd trashed the old one). I downloaded and reinstalled 7.5 but itunes still did not work.
    While my solution wasn't ideal
    1) It was what Apple told me to do!
    2) It seemed preferable to A) A complete system reinstall, B) removing 264 .plist files one at a time, rebooting, and seeing which one was causing the problem.
    I still have the old .plist files in another folder, and can replace them in my preferences folder if I decide I need them. Most apps will create a new .plist file on start-up if there is not one present, so unless it is a program where I have gone to great lengths to change preferences from default, I'm guessing I will not notice much difference (and if I do, I can always go to my archive of .plists, or on Time Machine for that matter...)

  • MacBook Air Camera is not connected after mac OS update

    MacBook Air Camera is not connected after mac update
    I have a MacBook Air OS X version - 10.9.4 . I updated my mac 1 week before but todayI check that my mac in built camera is not working Even I try to check in this thing in all the apps. Please provide  the way how to sort out this issue asap.

    Use the suggestions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    The SMC reset often fixes your problem.
    Be sure you follow the instructions for your particular Mac model.
    If your problem continues, restart Mac.  Then download and install OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).
    If that does not correct the problem, reinstall Mac OS X.
    If nothing else works, contact your Apple Service provider or Apple MacBook Support for help.

  • Firefox would not connect after upgrade. Did system restore (XP) and not firefox wont even start

    Firefox would not connect after upgrade from verion 6 to version 7. Did system restore (XP) and now firefox wont even start

    Sometimes Firefox will hang during startup or shutdown, and still be running invisibly in the background. Usually in that case, you need to "kill" it either by restarting Windows or using the Windows Task Manager. It sounds as though you are familiar with opening the Processes tab, finding firefox.exe, and using End Process.
    If you use an advanced firewall or other security software that tracks which programs are permitted to use the internet, please see these articles:
    * [[Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox]]
    * [[Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet]]
    A couple of other suggestions:
    (1) Can you start Firefox in its Safe Mode? Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox. You should get a two-button dialog. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset). Any difference?
    (2) In case your regular software missed something that is interfering with Firefox, try the scanning and clean-up tools listed in this article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]

    IPSec VPN brings up login box but will not connect after entering password.  Have tried this on both IPAD and IPhone 4.  Can anyone help?

    Uggh, it's so frustrating! I've googled every search phrase I can think of and this seems to be the only thread describing this exact issue. I'm always automatically logged into Facebook on my MBP but just to be sure I logged out and back in and it worked fine.
    I gotta say, I wasn't a fan of the Droid I had preceding this iPhone, and from what I hear the iPhone app for FB is a thousand times better - not that I'd know personally because I can't log in!! - but I could always access my FB account on the droid. Just sayin...

  • Airport Express (latest version) not connectable after waking Macbook

    Hey Guys, my Airport Express (latest version) is not connectable via airplay, when I want to connect after I shut down my Mac for a while. Since now I always solved the problem with a reboot of the airport. Is there another opportunity to avoid this problem?

    Try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
    1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
    Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
    1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
    Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
    In the windows on the left side: Select login for Keychains and "All Items" for Category.
    Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
    1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
    Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
    Restart or log out then back in.
    2. Move System Configuration Files
    (Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
    Go to /Library/Preferences
    Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
    Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)

  • New powerbook - airport extreme does not connect after Tiger update

    Hi guys,
    I see a lot of people are having problems with airport right now. I just got a new powerbook that worked fine with Panther, went online without a hitch. I downloaded a couple of software updates but don't know which. Then I installed the Tiger software and since then the computer does not connect. It show a wifi signal but tells me it can't connect etc.
    Any ideas,
    Thanks
    Sabina

    so give that a try.

  • Airport: Not Configured after 10.4.7 update

    I just bought a new macbook 2.0Ghz, proceeded through the first-time installation wizard setup my wifi settings, and everything worked fine.
    At first boot in macosx i had my wifi working and i was able to browse and download things.
    I installed the 10.4.7 macosx update, restarted, then lost my wifi connection.
    The signal indicator reads
    Airport: Not Configured
    and in the network settings under 'Network Port Configuration' I see a greyed out 'AirPort' configuration. I can"t enable it. I can't add a new one either since the only choices are Bluetooth, Builtin firewire/ethernet, 6 to 4
    I found a knowledge base article describing a similar problem:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303437
    But the described workaround doesn't seem to work.
    I also tried to reinstall the 10.4.7 update using the combo installer, the issues remain.
    I ran also the permission repair utility at various stages in the process, it never detected any errors.
    In the System Profiler under network/Airport section, i see:
    Airport Card Information:
    Type: AirPort Extreme [..]
    Locale: Worldwide
    Firwmare: 0.1.24
    Current Wireless Network: AirPort is currently turned off
    I know the card is there and working, since linux happily uses it when i boot in linux.
    Has anyone any clue about what's happening ?
    Is there a simple 'enable' button somewhere, or is that a known isse with 10.4.7 updater, how can i revert to 10.4.6 then ?
    Thanks a lot!
    Macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    It's actually a bit more weird:
    When stepping through the first-time boot wizard, it asks to select the wifi essid from a list, the scan is ok and shows my network, and i type the WEP key in the box, click next. The 'Configuring your computer' blinks then the setup goes on and asks for my .Mac account and so on.
    After the wizard completes i'm able to surf the web and connected BUT !
    The signal meter is always empty and clicking on it states 'Airport: Not Configured'. When i open the network preferences it says under 'current status' that i'm using the builtin ethernet device ??!!
    The IP and dhcp re-lease stuff work in the UI even if it's clearly not the builtin ethernet card that i'm using since the IP is from the wifi router, and there is no cable plugged in, and i can access the internet.
    No mention of Airport port in the setup, so i can't configure it.
    As soon as i restart the connection is gone, and the setup created by the first-time wizard is gone.
    So the situation is now i have a 10.4.6 os with no airport..

  • 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/

  • IntelMac (newest Tiger) not connecting after installing WinXP and switching

    Hi Everyone. I tried searching the discussions for this, but I couldn't find a suitable answer (or anyone else having this problem). Here's the issue (and my temporary solution, but really really annoying):
    I recently installed winXP on my intelMac core duo running Tiger.8. After a bit of trouble I figured out how to connect my Windows to my Airport Express (hassle). Anyway, everytime I'd switch back to Tiger, I don't connect to my network. It's a closed network, and when it starts up, Airport connects to the network (shows all 5 bars) but I cannot get online. My temporary resolution is to turn airport off then back on, and it finds (and connects) to my network so I can surf the 'net.
    The question is... is there a way that I can get around this temporary solution? (It's a bit annoying as my sister who is anti-computers has to use the 'net and gets frustrated when it's not connected.)
    ....Yes I realize I can just tell her how to get around the issue, but >_>..... Or if there is a way I can create a script to run at startup that will turn airport off and then on, after startup, then that would be great too....
    If there is someone that can help me out, that'd be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks.
    iMac Intel Core Duo 2.0GHz 1.5 GB RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   WinXP installed and can connect to airport express

    I just recently installed it (maybe 3-4 wks ago?).... It's BootCamp 1.1.2, assuming newest drivers for the computer.
    Yes I've noticed about the date-time thing being offset by the amount of hours I'm on the XP -- almost always 5h, too, for some reason.
    I read in another post that XP might be stealing my IP address which is why I have to restart the Airport card (so I can get it back). But there's no viable solution. Happen to know any for the window's side? I'll have to ask my windows buddy this too.
    In the meantime....
    Do you think that there are scripts out there (or is it possible to make a script) that will automatically run when the computer restarts... and have it turn the airport card on/off? ...As well as go to date and time? I'm not very familiar with Scripting, and Automator Robot is bloody confusing....
    Any help is greatly appreciated!!
    Thanks.
    PS - Have you tried Parallels, if you switch back n forth so often? Aside from the drivers not existing, it's great for using regular applications. I tried to use it but, honestly, the games wouldn't load because of lack of drivers for video card (and lack of "finding" the video card to get a driver for it lol)
