Airport problems after installing 10.5.6

Airport on my MBP (2.4GHz, pre-"unibody") will no longer connect to my home wireless network (set up with WEP) after installing 10.5.6. It was flawless on all prior versions (and my 10.4 machine still connects fine).
I installed with the "combo" updater (and I checked the SHA1 hash beforehand so the download is not corrupted).

Might be having the same problem. On a WPA2 Network, just reset my router and am still not getting a good internet connection. The iMac is able to join the network with the no problem, and I seem to be pseudo-connected to the internet because iChat will connect and I just got a new email, but Safari won't load anything at all. The oddest thing though, is that my PowerBook which is still running Tiger is behaving the exact same way since the update to the iMac. A PC that's on the same network via Ethernet connection off the router is connected at full speed. Any clue as to what might be causing this?

AirPort problem after installing Security Update 2007-007

Help! I installed the security update 2007-007 on my Mac mini os x and now my AirPort is not detecting any signal. Should I backup the system and then reboot? I'm not really sure what to do. I have tried almost everything I can imagine. I checked through the user logs and all was functioning properly until the update installed. All of the settings for the network and internet connect say that they have failed.
Please help! I am not particularly familiar about backing up -- how do I do this? (please spell out for me, I'm really new to mac!)
Thanks in advance

Can't help with the airport problem, since I don't do wireless. As for backing up, these should get you pointed in the right direction:

A lot of problems after installing Windows XP using Boot Camp on a Mac Book

I have been having a lot of problems after installing Windows XP Home Edition (2002).
For one, after installing Windows using Boot Camp with Mac OS X 10.5.1, I opened Windows on my Mac Book, inserted the Mac OS X Disk 1 as in the instructions and got the message: +"This package requires a newer version of the Windows installer. Do you want to update the version of the Windows Installer on your system?"+ When I clicked Yes (I had NO idea what it meant at the time), I got the message: "The required resource 'UPDATE' is missing" and the Installer quit.
How do I fix this problem?
Another problem I have is that there is no sound on the Windows XP, yet it works perfectly on Mac OS X. Is there any way to fix this problem?
A third problem I have is that I can't wirelessly connect to the internet using Window XP, yet I can on Mac OS X. I have no idea on how to fix this, and it's really messing with me. D:<
D: There are way too many problems, and I have a feeling there will be a lot more later on. Help....

I see that i have a problem after installing my new hard drive on my macbook pro mid 2009 version. I put a new hard drive, with all of my information from my old drive installed on it, into the computer. but now have the blinking question mark folder

i see that i have a problem after installing my new hard drive on my macbook pro mid 2009 version. I put a new hard drive, with all of my information from my old drive installed on it, into the computer. but now have the blinking question mark folder. I see that it means that it isn't reading the new hard drive.
did i miss a step between transferring all of my information from my old hard drive to the new hard drive and installing the new hard drive into the computer. I believe that i installed properly. it was quite easy.
thanks for your help

It means there is no bootable system on the drive. If you still have access to the old drive, then I suggest you boot from it then clone it to the new internal drive. Use OPTION boot to boot from the Recovery HD on the old drive:
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
         button.
     2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
     3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
     4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
         to the Destination entry field.
     5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
         the Source entry field.
     6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Source means the external old drive. Destination means the new internal drive.

Printing problems after installing the Epson Printer Driver 2.16

Has anyone experienced any problems after installing the Epson Printer Driver 2.16 through Software Update? I am having problems printing. It denotes an error message, specifically the rastertoescpii.app isn't working?

Oops, wanted everyone to know that the driver that Software Update downloaded and installed was 2.18, not 2.16 (which was the last one that worked for me). I just got done downloading the 2.18 driver directly from the Apple support website and installing it. Guess what? My printer is now working and everything is fine. If you are having issues, I suggest this route. Guess I solved my own problem, but hope this helps someone else.

Problem after installing 10.4.8

Hello,
I installed the 10.4.8 update today. I have a brand new macbook. When the update finished downloading, my screen just turned blank, my computer didn't react at all. I could hear the fan and that was it.
So, I waited for some minutes, nothing happened. I decided to restart it by pressing the power button for a few seconds.
The computer is working perfectly now and the update was installed. But, how do I know if my computer or the HD were affected? I ran the HD test and it says that the HD seems OK.
Is that a problem with my computer or is it because of the new update? I read a posting that mentioned similar problems after installing the new update.
Thanks...

How did you update? Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update (delta)?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304200
After installing the delta version of this update on an Intel-based Mac, the computer will restart two times--the first restart after installing this update may take several minutes; please allow it to complete.

Airport problems after 8/12 airport and security update

My MacBook Pro which had been working flawlessly since I got it last year received the airport and security updates distributed today. After the reboot my airport turns itself off after a few minutes and will not come back on and the computer seems to be running hotter than usual. Booting from a recent clone of the drive without the updates did not fix the problem and the card turned itself off a few minutes after the reboot and will not come back on.
Anyone having similar problems after the update?

Does your problem occur only when unplugged. If so, then maybe this update is for you: http://support.apple.com/downloads/AirPortClient_Update_for_MacBook_and_MacBookPro. Check it out, but use your own judgment in installing; not much info is provided.

Airport Problems after update and trouble shooting

Hi There,
I have an Intel iMac and after updating airport i've been having problems with it. I'll be using the internet and all of a sudden it will just disconnect and cannot detect any network connections. Now, i've seen the other posting already about fixing this problem, and I have done what it says to fix the problem by moving the system configuration folder and the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file. After I do this, it works for a few hours but then i have the same problem again. The folder and the file is recreating and i have to follow the same steps and move them again, but then every few hours it keeps getting recreating. Is there something that i can do so i'm not constantly moving the files around and having to re-setup my network. Is there a way to reset Airport to the way it was before i installed the update?
Thanks

"Is there a way to reset Airport to the way it was before i installed the update?"
Of course you can erase your hard drive and reinstall up to 10.4.7, and not go any higher. The problem is the 10.4.8 update, or some part of it. The many other updates recently posted for different apps are not part of the cause, so those updates can be installed.
"Is there something that i can do so i'm not constantly moving the files around and having to re-setup my network."
Yes, once you've followed the "restart twice" instructions involving preference file deletion, it appears that by turning off AirPort before letting it sleep, restart, or shut down, those two files will not get the same corruption recreated. Afterwards, you should be able to turn on AirPort and after a slight delay of about six to eight seconds AirPort will be able to reacquire your network.
If you forget to turn off AirPort before sleep, restart, or shutdown, then those files will again be corrupted and you'll have to go through the process all over again. I ran through it about 50 times, changing this and that, and that's all I could come up with.
Hopefully someone else out there with a different perspective will be able to figure out what else needs to be done.

Airport Problems after "AirPort Extreme Update 2008-001" (1.0)?

I recently installed the update and have been unable to connect to my wireless network at home ever since. The airport detects my router and asks if I would like to join the network, but after I click yes, it says "there's an error in connecting", and thus no connection is made.
I can, however, get internet connection through ethernet from my router.
I can't be totally sure the update is the cause of the problem, but I haven't downloaded or installed anything else recently, and all other pc's wireless connections work fine with my router. I also haven't tried connecting through other wireless networks, so I'm not sure if the problem is exclusive to my router.
Has anyone else had similar problems after the update?
Also, does anyone know the default settings for the airport? I'm wondering maybe I have altered settings that's causing this problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated

I have the same problem but I have not found a fix.

802.1x Problem After Installing Update 10.4.10

After installing the 10.4.10 update (from 10.4.9), I have started having problems with authenticating using 802.1x over my wireless connection. I enter my login information when prompted, and after a few seconds (when it says "Authenticating..."), it comes back with an error:
WPA Authentication Failed.
Security Error: 0
If I try authenticating several more times, it will eventually work. It is not a signal strength issue, and it is not me mistyping my username and password.
The only error in the console.log that I see is:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Resources/airport: Error: Could not start 802.1X
This only seems to affect my attempts to log in using 802.1x. I am able to associate with WPA and WPA2 networks using pre-shared keys without any issues.
My 802.1x settings are as follows:
Network Port: AirPort
Authentication: TTLS (all other un-checked)
- TTLS Inner Authentication: MSCHAPv2
- TTLS Outer Identity: (blank)
AirPort card information:
Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x86)

MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Found the problem... It turns out it is not related to the 10.4.10 patch, but it is still specific to MacBooks and the way they do EAP for 802.1x authentications.
The problem was with the default settings on the Cisco/Airespace wireless controllers, which we have recently migrated to. It has a default EAP timeout/retry of 2 seconds, so depending on how long it takes you to type in your login information and submit it, you might fall outside the 2-second window where the controller is accepting that login. The solution was to increase that window on the wireless controller itself.
My guess is that Windows automatically retries, which is why Windows users did not see this problem.

Problems after installing Bootcamp 3.1

Hello everyone.
I had installed Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate in a Bootcamp partition. I used the SL disk to install Bootcamp 3.0 which, with some audio related problems which were solved by changing the drivers, worked well. All sounds played, the graphics card behaved normally, etc.
Recently I got the alert of a Bootcamp update, 3.1, as we all know. After installing it without a hitch, small problems began to pop up.
First, no Windows startup sound played anymore, and there has been no way for me to make it work again. I've gone to countless forums and gone through an endless barrage of suggestions, including a complete formatting, but it always leads back to the same, isolated problem: Startup sound plays in BT 3.0, doesn't play anymore in BT 3.1.
But more importantly, after pretty much giving up with the startup sound issue (it's only that particular sound, in the login screen, so I decided to ignore it's absence), more problems appeared. Initially, all system tray icons appeared swiftly. Now the main ones, Sound, Wireless Connection and Battery appear fast, but the rest take at least 5 minutes to appear. This is again something that wasn't present in Bootcamp 3.0.
Yet another problem, this one I consider is the most important, and the real reason for this post of mine, is that Bootcamp 3.1 brought a serious driver problem with my Macbook Pro's 9400M video card. Doing the most stupid of tasks such as opening the video card's control panel from the Desktop gives me the following error:
"The NVIDIA Display Panel extension cannot be created.
Possible reasons include:
Version mismatch. Reinstalling the drivers may solve this problem."
Now, the Device Manager shows no errors in hardware-driver smoothness in any aspect, yet it's clear that the driver that BT 3.1 installs for the video card was either faulty or old, or for another OS. I went to NVIDIA's site to manually get the driver, but it turns out that they offer no NVIDIA GeForce 9400M drivers for Windows 7 64 bit. So I wonder, how come it worked before? Because in Bootcamp 3.0 the Control Panel would open flawlessly.
So this is serious. Gaming has also turned into a nightmare, since the problem with the video card negatively affects the smoothness of the gameplay. Apple, things weren't working 100% with BT 3.0, but BT 3.1 far from making things better just got everything worse.
I ask everyone here if there is a known solution. Should I install the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M drivers for Windows 7 32 bit? Why doesn't the driver installed by BT 3.1 function as it should when it's supposed to be covering Windows 7 compatibility? Why are the barrage of audio errors present in BT 3.1 and not in BT 3.0? What happened with my startup sound?
Apple, you're offering the possibility for your users to user Windows for compatibility and gaming. You market your Macs are fully compatible and flawless even running Windows. Don't come about saying this is not your problem, it is. It's your drivers, you develop them, you give them to us. If they don't work, you must do something about it. If not, then stop offering the Bootcamp service completely. If you're gonna do something, do it well.
