AirtPort is not listed as one of Network choices in System Prefs

I'm trying to set up a WiFi connection/network (using 2 G5 Macs and AirPort Extreme). All online instructions start with "...select AirPort in System Network Preferences.." In my Preferences it doesn't show up. All I got there are two Ethernets and FireWire. Please help!

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
If the lock in the corner is "closed", click on it to authenticate. Then click on the "plus" sign at the bottom of the list to add an AirPort item. It's possible that your Mac Pro doesn't have an AirPort card, in which case you can't add such an item. For more information about your Mac's configuration, invoke "About This Mac" from the Apple menu, then click on "More Info".
Also, your system details are confusing. A "Mac Pro" will have an Intel processor, but you describe it as having a G5 processor.

'Malaysia' is not listed as one of the countries!

I just received my ipod touch today and while entering my contacts (addresses), i realised that 'Malaysia' is not listed as a country in the whole list of countries option. how then am i suppose to key in an address in malaysia?!
Plus, in the settings > general > international > region format = there is no 'Malaysia' as well!
Is this only happening to my ipod, or apple has decided that Malaysia doesnt deserve to be listed in it?!

Why is it a problem? Because I cannot add Malaysian addresses directly. When adding address, I'm asked to choose a "Country" from the country list THEY PROVIDE, before it proceeds to ALLOW me to add the other details "street, suburb, state, postcode".
Does this not look like a problem to you? I can do the addresses via Yahoo addresses and then sync it to the ipod. But I did not pay so much just to get such inconvenience. Like say - when I ask my friend for her address, I go +'oh wait, i cant enter it yet. write it down. i'll go back home and key it in my computer.'+, or key it under Indonesia or China, then sync to Yahoo! addresses, then modify, then sync it back to the ipod. Whats the point then, for allowing users to enter and create new contacts?
I'm not talking about wanting to use different applications that Apple doesnt support, or wanting to do more than what the device can do. It just doesnt make sense to me that they make it a COMPULSORY to choose a 'country', YET, they do NOT have every country in the list (considering how much sales Apple has drawn from Malaysians). Having all countries listed is basic.
Urgh. Really. I still love my ipod and all. It just ***** that they do not have it listed.

Why is icloud not listed in my updated macbook pro's systems preferences, there is mobileme instead?

I use a Samsung Android, two mac book pros, a large desktop mac, a Kindle Fire, and recently bought a preowned iphone 5; want to synch it with my mac book pro. I have an icloud email but nothing from my macbook is connected with it except maybe itunes. icloud is not the way I sign on when pening my personal macbook. But the only id I could use to get into the iphone was my icloud id. I want to get "Everything" together but when attempting to set up icloud in my personal macbk at system pref.s there is no icloud listed only the ancient "Mobilme" . I have done all the updates, why is icloud not in there and what can I do to set it up?

If you are seeing mobile me, then you are running 10.6.8 or earlier. iCloud came out in 10.7. So your device "may" be updated as far as it can, but it is not far enough to use iCloud. You can try to upgrade to 10.10 (which is free), or if your system is not capable, you may have to pay for lion or mountain lion.
HTH.

I have an epson workforce 600 which is not listed as airprint enabled. has anyone made this printer work with airprint?

i have an epson workforce 600; it is not listed as one of the printers that is airprint enabled.
has anyone made it work with airprint? if so, please tell me how.
thanks.

The Workforce 600 is not AirPrint-compatible. Epson has an app that enables printing to some of their other wireless printers. Search the iTunes Store or look to the support resources for your model of printer. Third-party printing apps such as PrintCentral are also available. All such apps have limitations, so check them out thoroughly before you pay for any such app.
You could also route the printing through your computer. If you have a Mac, Printopia would be worth a look. Fingerprint is another option that is available for both Mac OS X and Windows system. You could also consider an AirPrint-capable print server. Lantronix makes a couple of models, including one that supports a USB printer:

Cannot use System Pref's/Network -- dialog box won't go stay gone

G5 running Tiger, browsers, Mail and other internet functions (DSL, PPPoE) work fine BUT: if I boot the Network app in System Pref's, it shows a dialog box that says "Your network settings have been changed by another application." If I press OK the box goes away for a second and then returns -- there is no way to proceed, or use this app -- the only thing I can do is for Systems Pref's to quit. In other words, it won't take OK for an answer!
Some notes: 1) Network diagnostics from the Help menu says everything is normal. 2) I did move my Ethernet connection to another computer to run that one -- this Mac was off at the time. I did not change any modem or router settings, and this Mac, as I said, works fine except for the above problem. 3) an app called "Internet Connect" in the apps folder will not boot (don't know what this is); 4) the utilities Netinfo Mgr and Network Utility don't tell my anything useful or at least that I can understand. How do I reset the SystemPref's/Network app or whatever it is so I can use it? Thanks.

Duplicate accounts listed in System prefs

Ever since I transferred my admin account from my old Mac to the new machine (MPro 2.66) I've had duplicate accounts listed in the Users tab of the System Prefs. I have two legitimate accounts, my main account and another admin account; the main account is listed again 3 times under "Other Accounts", with the same photo and login info as the original account. They do NOT have folders in the Users folder however, so it's not like they're complete duplicates; they only appear in this panel. It's not affecting anything adversely, just wondering if I can delete them without affecting my account since all the name/login info is identical.
Thanks,
JK

Be careful about deleting those duplicates. You might end up deleting your home directory. Make a backup of your machine just in case. If you are wiling to take some risk then proceed.
I played around with this and found that if you have more then one account pointing to the same home directory, then deleting any of the duplicate accounts will not impact the home directory.
However, one of those accounts must be the *Primary Owner* of that home directory and deleting that user will delete the *Home Directory*. Not quite what you want to have happen.
If you try to delete the Primary account you should get a prompt asking you what to do with the *Home Folder*.
Choose *"Do not change the home folder"*
That should preserve it incase you need to get that directory back.
The first think I would do is see if all the duplicates are using the same *Home Folder*
Open up Preferences
Open up Accounts
Ctrl-Click on one of the Duplicate Accounts and select *Advanced Options*.
Record the *Home Directory* for each of the accounts.
If they are the same, then you should be able to delete the duplicates without a problem. Again, if and when prompted, choose *"Do not change the home folder"*.
If the duplicate *Home Folder* point to a different location, then you just have to figure out which is your primary account and delete the duplicates. Again, I'd play it safe and save those home folders until I knew everything was working and there wasn't anything in those folders that I wanted. Once they are gone they are gone.
Good luck!

Not set userName and password in system.prefs for 2.2.5

We are using KODO 2.2.5 right now and We have business requirement that we
should not keep database user name and password in system.prefs. I
followed the instructions that you wrote in Feb 12 2002 post. But it still
has the error that exactly like Bug #76. When we leave the user name and
password out of system.prefs, we get the error.
Is this bug(#76) fixed for 2.2.5? And how can we work around it?
The error is:

I'm not sure about the status of that bug in 2.2.5, but it has been
resolved in our internal 2.3 builds.
I think that you can work around this problem by enumerating your
persistent types in system.prefs instead of in the data store. See our
documentation for more information on how to do this.
Basically, if I recall correctly, the problem is when retrieving the
list, but not when connecting to the data store for other purposes.

How can I make my computer only recognize my network and not that of one of my neighbors?

How can I make my computer only recognize my network and not that of one of my neighbors? This is for when I am at home, and everytime the computer goes to sleep it essentially loses the connection, only to pick up my neighbors network when it is awaken.
I am on Comcast (Xfinity) Highspeed Cable wireless modem/router
Thanks in advance!

You can make your network the preferred network.

Long and short is nothing will save to my devices at all.....HELP !!!!!!!?

What do you mean make folders? Like folders inside an application or accessing system folders? You can't do the latter.

Bookmarks are not syncing to ONE of my Macs, but showing up on other Mac (work), iPhone 4 and iPad 1. Macs are on Mountain Lion. Tried all of Apple's suggestions - and the one Mac is still not updating/syncing Bookmarks or Reading List. What's going on? Do I have to wait to OS update? It seems lots of peolple were having issues before ML, but I as fine. Since ML, I am having all kinds of issues!

Yeah, I literally have tried everything except deleting my iCloud account (I'm close, but that would require so many changes that it is way too painful to consider at this point).
I am still waiting to hear back from Apple Support. Hopefully something can be done, or they can do a reset on their end.
Thanks for taking the time to respond though, much appreciated!

My printer is a fairly new all-in-one Brother MFC-7860 DW. It is not listed in the iPad AirPrint printers. Can I get it to work with my new iPad2?

If it's not an Airprint enabled printer, you can not natively through your iPad. BUT, there are apps you can purchase in the App Store, like Print Central ($9), which is what I use myself and works well for my needs.

Networked Macs Not Always Showing Up In Network In Finder - On One Mac

The problem is that awake and running networked macs do not always show up in Network on the Finder. Sometimes they do and sometimes they do not. The problem happens fequently on one machine. Very similar questions have been posted on this. I suspect many are dancing around the same issue. I am hoping to get to the bottom of this.
All the OS X machines are running 10.4.9. Two are networked by Airport. The Airport and the problem iMac, an older G3, are wired to a LAN. On the LAN sits a PPC 7200 running OS9 IpNetRouter serving up IP addresses for all the connected devices, including printers. IpNetRouter also provides an internet connection out through a second ethernet card. The PPC 7200 drive is always reliably available for connecting to in the Finder.
Each of the OS X machines are set for Personal File Sharing only, with Firewall running, and without Stealth Mode enabled.
The problem is noticed on the wired Mac. Perhaps that is the key to this. The problem is not two way. The Finder on the wireless Macs shows the wired Mac in Network when the wired Mac is not showing the wireless Mac. Sometimes only one of the wireless Macs shows on the wired Mac. When that happens it is always the wireless eMac instead of the wireless Intel Mac.
When this problem occurs, it is always possible to connect to the "missing" wireless Macs by using their local IP address reported by IpNetRouter. It is not possible to do the same using the computer name of the Mac that should be visible in Network or by using its DHCP client ID.

No Macs are sleeping, but they might have been in the past. They don't show up when they are sleeping. These machines are often on for days. All are updated on a regular basis, including in the past two days.
