Airport not working after Apple sw updates - HELP PLEASE!!!

I have a newish MAC Intel. The Airport was working fine for the last 9 months or so until I puled down Apples usual sw updates. I did them all incl the firmware update. Now the Airport wont hook up. I have wireless to NETGEAR router downstairs. I see network broadcasting as its sen in networks box, yet when I select it and then plug in a WEP and connect it says no can do and jumps back to no network selected. Ive tried this dzens and dozens of times. Lke I said was fine for last 9 months until updates last week...grrrhh.can anyon help me please?
thanks
./david
PS ot sure what OS I have..never checked to be honest
INTEL iMAC   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

Hi David,
sunny in Scotland right now ?? (Sorry, just joking)
Have the same one and came to the conclusion that Airport doesn't wait for the DHCP from the Netgear to get a numer like 192.168.xxx.xxx but has already one which is not in the pool provided by the Netgear.
Since I'm depending on this I help myself by turning Airport off (in the Menu) wait 20 seconds and then turn it on again.
Helps every time.
Another guy round here has helped himself by turning off the Automatic (in the Airport preferences) and has entered all numbers manually.
Regards
Stefan

  • My iPad2 is not working after an unsuccessful update to the new iOS6. How do I get working?

    My iPad2 is not working after an unsuccessful update to the new iOS6. How do I get working?

    - Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Download/install a new app
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory daults/new iPod.

  • HT201366 CAC readers not working after installing security update 2013-003?

    Is anyone else having problems with CAC readers not working after installing security update 2013-003? CAC required websites are causing safari and chrome to crash.

    For CAC issues, see:

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • HT4623 Anyone having trouble with App Store install and cloud store buttons not working after 6.1 update?

    Anyone having trouble with App Store install and cloud store buttons not working after 6.1 update? I go to install an app. I hit install and nothing happens. About a minute later it asks me for my password and then it does nothing. The install button goes back to saying install. However the app shows up in my installed list and in cloud but no app installed.

    OK - I found a helpful post - closed app store app and under Settings/General/Date and Time I reset the date and time by switching off "Set Automatically" and then switching it on again. Went back to App Store, launched it and Updatesseems to be working again.
    Go figure? Logical, No!

    This chain is permanent and affects all keychain items used by aiport.

    What should I have replied? Anyway to reset the airport or download it again?
    Thanks.

  • HT6154 rear camera on iphone 5 not working after ios 8 update why?

    My iPhone 5 rear camera is no longer working after ios 8 update its just black I can see the flash choice the hdr and the timer but other than that it is a black screen

    Hi there fjci2003,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
    Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch 
    You see a closed lens or black screen
    If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
    Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
    Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
    Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
    If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping the camera swap icon . If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.

  • Camera and led light not working after IOS 7 update on iphone 5 help please!!

    After I installed the update my led light won't work for the flashlight and my camera doesn't work either. Only the front facing camera works. Any suggestions?

    thanks for the suggestions, i tried the ideas you suggested but i dont even get a camera showing for the rear camera, i also noticed the torchlight no longer works.  i did all the steps but no luck.
    So I took my camera to the genius bar this weekend as well as walking through various steps with the apple guys in ohio support over the net. 
    With the guys at the genius bar, after i insisted that it must be software as the rear camera stopped working only after the softwre update, they continued to assure me it was hardware and talked me into letting them replace the camera,  they then took it to the back and tried fixing a camera and 30 minutes later came out and said the rear camera is no longer being detected and wanted me to replace the motherboard for yet more money.  im glad they didnt charge me for the new camera though as it still didnt work.
    anyway the motherboard idea i rejected as it was just 2 months out of warranty and had only stopped working the day after the release of 7.0.2, so im going to wait until the next few releases to see what happens, as i dont believe for a second its hardware.  i expected a stock answer from apple and its exactly what i got even after my explanation of how it was working the day before the release.  not overly impressed with the whole process.
    i wanted to back down to 7.0.1 to confirm the camera still works but they said no chance so i cant even see if it still works ouside 7.0.2.  anyway will update if i get any further progress.

  • IDVD & Roxio Toast not working after APPLE-SA-2009-02-12 Security Update

    After installing APPLE-SA-2009-02-12 Security Update 2009-001, iDVD and Roxio Toast will not work.
    iDVD will launch, and I can create a project. It starts to render the video, but crashes before it starts to burn the disc.
    Roxio Toast will not even launch.
    Both applications were working perfectly and reliably before this update.
    Anyone else found this problem?
    Greg.

    I re-installed the apps, and they're working now.

  • AIRPLAY not working after Apple tv 6.0.2 update!!!

    After the apple tv 6.0.2 update airplay isn't working properly. I have reset and restarted my apple tv, reset the wireless network and it keeps disconnecting. Homesharing will not connect even after logging in and signing out on iTunes. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Frustrated!!!

    Ive checked the network and it's working fine.
    You are getting disconnected so clearly it is not.  Lets try to work in reality here.  The fact that you are connected does not count as checking your network.  The fact that there is a conneciton does not tell you anything about the quality of that connection.  Even more so with WiFi since there are so many more things that can cause problems with it.  And since AirPlay is in real time and not cached it has no tolerance for any interference or dropped packets.
    I see a number of post about this same issue
    Yes, several posts on the forum....   out of a user base in the tens of millions.  If there where really an issue with the update (which went out weeks ago) the forum would be flooded.  Every time there is an update released a handful of people have some problem that occurs not long after and they all sure it must be the update even though 99% of the user base is not having the same issue.
    so I guess everyone is having Wifi and connection issues then.
    Most of them yes.  70% of the posts are WiFi related issues.  As I already explained streaming video rarely works well over WiFi.  Even more so for HD video, and even more so still for AirPlay which is hyper sensitive to any hiccups at all.  WiFi makes this a very failure prone way to use ATV and as such most of the posts are related WiFi.
    I dont think so !!!!
    Since you don't think losing your device connections is a network problem clearly thinking is not your strong suit.

  • Airport Not Working After iOS8 Update

    Hi,
    Last night I updated my iPad to iOS8.
    I was then invited to update the Airport Utility to make it work with iOS8.
    The download & installation appeared to have completed successfully, but then I received the same message to update it. I ran the procedure again, following which I got the same message.
    The router now has a flashing amber light & is unusable.
    I have tried unplugging/reconnecting the mains lead. I have tried using the reset button. I have tried doing both together. Neither the iPad or my computer can see the router.
    Can anyone help, please?

    I spent several hours with Apple support today: the issue kept getting escalated  as it was unable to be resolved by the person I was talking to at each level.
    To cut a long story short: unable to resolve it, the unit will be repaired/replaced under warranty. They are very interested in getting hold of my failed unit to inspect it & figure out what has happened to it.
    Many thanks to everyone I spoke to: they were all very interested, courteous & as helpful as possible. Excellent customer service.
