Another Airport Problem (I see quite a few here)

Recently, my Airport hasn't been working 9/10 times when I open the screen. Not knowing what else to do, I'd shut it down, wait a few minutes, and turn it back on. This isn't really a solution, though, as sometimes it takes several dozen powering downs over the course of the day to actually work. Just a moment ago, I found this tutorial:
http://fairerplatform.com/2009/04/how-to-airport-wont-activate-try-this-simple-f ix/
1. Open the Network System Preference panel
2. Delete Airport by clicking the “-” (minus) button
3. Restart your Mac
4. Open the Network System Preference panel
5. Add Airport by clicking the “+” (plus) button
6. Click “Apply”
...but after hitting the "-" (minus) button in my network preferences, I hit apply, then restarted. Now, the "+" offers no airport options, and it seems I may be doomed forever. Any suggestions on how to get my airport back would be greatly appreciated; I can't borrow my girlfriend's computer forever!

my wireless works fine, I have used Linksys, smc, cisco and apple wifi access points. Do you have a home, work and/or coffee shop locations? I have had one time they were corrupt and I had to delete them all. Do you have apple care, if so just call apple.
The easiest hardware to use with a Mac is Apple's airport products. I just setup my dad with a new Time Capsule, Airport Express and MacBook Pro, all went flawlessly, even the Samsung WIFI Printer/copy/fax color laser.
BTW unless you are using the latest shipping products you will have to disable 40MHz 802.11n bands also called Wide channel 802.11n by apple.

Another Airport problem. (Sorry if repetitive)

All I've read so far is Airport problems for users with 10.5... So that's how I justified me writing this post.
My sister's MacBook is running 10.4.10. When I boot it up, it holds a connection for about 30 seconds, then it loses connection. Our network isn't showing up at all. I have plugged it into an Ethernet and the connection is fine then. So, Airport issue? Help?

Nevermind. Turns out she hasn't let her computer update in quite some time. Figures.

Kernel Panic problems - have tried quite a few solutions

Hi,
Old iBook G4 raises a Kernel Panic more often than not on wake from sleep, and at different stages during boot. The Crash Log is /always/ the same:
"Unresolved kernel trap(cpu 0): 0x300 - Data access DAR=<The DAR value varies slightly each time>"
So far I've run "fsck -fy" and used "memtest all 1" in Single-User Mode with no errors reported. I "zapped" the NVRAM and PRAM by holding the Command-Option-P-R keys for three startup chimes. Oh, and I'm running a pristine, brand-new install of Tiger from the DVD (minus the extra languages and plus the X11 stuff). I've repaired permissions. I ran a full scan of the HDD with TechTool Pro 4 (over Firewire from my PowerBook) and no errors were reported. SMART status is "verified" in System Profiler.
I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to include the 4 most recent Crash Reports:

I have a 512MB module under lifetime warranty, and the store has offered to replace it if it's faulty, but so far I've no proof. Up to this point I've been reluctant to remove it myself as I don't have the specific tools or an anti-static wrist strap, but I may dive in anyway, and see what happens. I'll post any results. In the meantime, any other diagnostic suggestions?
Thanks.
SiR G.

I'll give that a shot. It seems relevant given the following error messages that I've been noticing consistently when booting through Single-User Mode:
OHCI Root hub simulation: family specific matching fails
EHCI Root hub simulation: family specific matching fails
Matching Service Count=10 (or Matching Service Count=29)
This error appears even when there are no peripherals attached, via USB or any other port.
Fingers crossed!

The loading icon keeps turning after the site has loaded, and since the last update, have had quite a few problems loading some sites, specifically secure sites such as bank websites and "My Ebay" when I try to sign in.

Can you download large files from other places apart from the App store, wondering if it is the App store or your internet connection.
If it just the app store check this url http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/

Airport problem 2

since apple closed the previous port related to airport problems , now noone can put their experiences, that i think it can help apple to see the problem we are experiencing here. please put all the details so apple will read this and arrive to a good idea of what's going on.
i have 2 mbp
1 2.33 ghz ,2gb, 120gb 10.5.1
2 2.0 ghz ,2gb, 120 gb 10.4.11
the laptop runing 10.4.11 is also aving issues with the wireless, so is not only the leopard one. now, i downgraded my 10.5.1 to 10.4.10 and i have no more wireless issues anymore with that laptop. so there's a problem in networking software design with 10.4.11 and 10.5 and 10.5.1 . that is what i experienced. i did not want to go back to windows, so i purchased a linux machine to survive junt in case apple will ..... but still have faith, just i'm waiting for months, like others are doing too.

There's another thread called "Airport Problem" that goes into extraordinary detail about the behavior he's experiencing. Since someone locked the thread it is now being pushed back by current updates to other threads, in this category, but I recommend going back and skimming the comments in that thread to get a better idea of what is going on. You can't miss it, it has 33,000 views and 530+ comments.
I have been experiencing similar wireless behavior. I installed Leopard 10.5.0 (as an update) and my wireless connections became intermittent: I would see the airport icon in the menu bar indicate full strength, a few seconds later the icon indicates zero (0) strength, and then the indicator shows full strength again. This happens about three to five times per minute, and makes real time tasks, like playing in a raid on a Warcraft server, appear to lag badly for a few seconds up to about three times a minute. My interim solution for this was to drape 50' of cat 5 from the router to my office and wire in. Worked well enough for me to get work done and let Apple take the time to identify and fix the problem.
I did eventually do a clean install of Leopard, but that did not clean up my wireless signal problem.
Here's the interesting news, however. I'm using someone else's wireless facility at this moment. That facility used the same wireless router I've been trying to use with Leopard at my normal office location without success. So, predictably, when I first tried to use the wireless router here, I was seeing the same problem. Then a couple hours later, that router's transmitter appears to have died, because nobody here was able to see it on the Airport list.
We replaced the dead router with a new one of the same make and model (different revision), but with a different third-party firmware package.
I now have a rock solid wireless connection. It no longer drops signal strength to zero three times per minute.
This leads me to conclude that while there is still a problem with code in Leopard that makes it not work with some wireless routers that worked fine with Tiger, it is entirely possible to work around the problem by installing a different 50 dollar wireless router. Take your machines and try (with permission!) to use different wireless connections to see if any work.
I notice that AP Grapher indicates another wireless access point using the same channel as the AP I'm attempting to use, and the app also shows my transmit rate dropping to zero periodically. Nevertheless, the wireless appears to work now. I'll be changing my own wireless access point shortly.

G4 (MDD) with AirPort Can't See/Won't Connect to Wireless Networks

Hi all. I've seen topics/threads that get close to my question/problem, but not quite.
I inherited a PowerMac G4 (MDD)/Dual 1 GHz/1.5 GB DDR SDRAM/running 10.3.9.
I purchased a used original AirPort card from eBay, opened up the machine, and plugged it in. When I went to update the software (from a CD), my machine told me that it was up to date (though one HD is running OS9 and one running OSX -- so the software wouldn't install because the HD running OSX said it was up-to-date and the HD running 9 said it was impossible). The machine recognizes the card/shows it gray in the toolbar/says it has Firmware Version 8.70 in the System Profile.
My problem is that the AirPort can't see any wireless networks 99% of the time, even though 3 (including mine) are in range all the time. I've seen my network only flicker into possibility a few times, and even though I've disabled all security measures on the wireless router (Linksys Wireless-G, Model WRT54G), it simply won't connect. One time in 3 hours it momentarily looked like it was going to connect, then said "out of range," then disappeared completely. It has seen 0 wireless networks for the past hour.
I've read everything far and wide trying to solve this issue and am totally stuck. At first I thought I needed an antenna for the AirPort, but this is an internal card, so that doesn't seem right. I know the AirPort card (and not Extreme) is right because a) I don't have a FW800 port and b) the machine recognizes this card. Finally, I thought it may have had to do with the WPA security on the Linksys, but even with security disabled...nothing.
I'm feeling very frustrated. Any advice?
Thank you very much.

Thanks, Tom. I did as you suggested, and the Max Signal under the Log is showing a red 12, which is terrible, yes? What, exactly, does this tell me? That this is simply a case of old technology (AirPort b) struggling to communicate with new technology (Linksys g) over a medium distance (Linksys is in next room, through wall)? If plugging straight into the ethernet were an option, I'd just do it. But I can't get my G4 onto the Internet without running cords down the hallway and through my TV room, which is an obvious eyesore.
Is there a chance this AirPort card is only partly functional and I should return it? Or do I need to accept the fact that this G4 needs to either be moved closer to the Linksys router or be plugged in directly?
Thank you.

Sudden Crippling Airport Problems, Any Solutions?

I installed 10.5.3 quite a while ago & after some initial downturns in the connection speeds things were back to normal (a constant full 4 bars in the airport signal strength)
Now, suddenly the airport strength is plummeting to 2 & 1 bars for no reason. The internet is frankly becoming unusabley slow. Pages taking over a minute to render, its unbearable!
I updated to the latest Airport Utility to see if that would change things but no joy.
I wonder if anyone can shed any light on the Console massages i have been getting & if their are any solutions to this problem.
Thanks.

Hi, heres a few suggestions:-
(1) completely delete your wireless details from your mac & Reboot
(2) Reboot BOTH Modem & Router
(3) Your Mac should pick up your wireless signal & all you will need to do is enter your key.
(4) Make sure you are using Interference Robust""
(5) Make sure your Modem & Router are a far apart as possible.
(6) If none of the above helps call your ISP.
(7) You may have to completely reset your router, go to the manufacturers website for How To..

ITunes 6.0.5 and Airport Problem

A short description of my recent problem is that iTunes 6.0.5 crashes my wireless connection when streaming music to my stereo via an Airport Express. The problem was repeatable and frequent. Reverting to iTunes 6.0.4 seems to make all the problems go away.
Before updating my MacBook recently to 10.4.7 from 10.4.6, and updating from iTunes 6.0.4 to 6.0.5, I updated my bootable system backup on an external Firewire drive, first repairing permissions.
After updating my MacBook, everything associated with the Airport Express seemed to function perfectly, except I had massive problems with attempting to stream music from iTunes. When first choosing in iTunes to connect to the external wireless target, music would begin playing and then my entire airport connection would dispappear within seconds. The menu bar throughput icon would go from 4 bars to nothing and my network SSID would disappear from the drop down. After toggling the airport on and off for a while, along with toggling the iTunes external/internal target control, I could eventually finagle a stable connection, which would last for maybe 15 minutes at a time. Then the connection would drop.
I happened to be one of the early 10.4.7 upgraders who used the non-combo updater, so when Apple announced that files were missing from the delta updater, I downloaded the new version and repeated the upgrade (successfully, indicated by the suffix on the new build number). Again a perfectly stable wireless connection through the 133 MB download; wireless works fine as long as iTunes is not involved.
The problem persisted after the 10.4.7 re-upgrade. I then tried booting from my external drive backup, into 10.4.6 and iTunes 6.0.4. The problem went away.
I then restored iTunes 6.0.4 from my backup to my internal drive, replacing 6.0.5. So far, everything is working perfectly again, with iTunes 6.0.4 under OS 10.4.7.
The airport problem seemed to be entirely on the MacBook side, not the Airport Express, since I never saw the Airport light change from green and the displayed connection time has stayed at x days and counting across all the times the airport connection disappeared, including when booted from the external drive.
So based on my experience, it would appear that there is a problem with iTunes 6.0.5. Anyone else see similar behavior or, conversely, can confirm that they are successfully streaming from a configuration similar to a MacBook through an Airport Express with iTunes 6.0.5 and OS 10.4.7?
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Just to bring closure to this thread, I am now successfully using iTunes 6.0.5 with OS 10.4.7: the problems I reported have disappeared.
Contrary to my original post, with more use I saw some drop-out problems with 6.0.4, though far less severe than with 6.0.5.
It occurred to me that maybe what I was seeing was due to the iTunes app paging, but I could find no direct evidence of that.
It then happened that I began experiencing the random shutdown problem that some MacBook users have reported (many posts in the MacBook forum). I sent in my machine for repair.
In the few days since I received the repaired machine back, I have had no random shutdowns. I also noticed I had no iTunes wireless dropouts with 6.0.4. I then re-upgraded to 6.0.5. No problems have surfaced. The only other software change at the system level I have made is to update the SMC firmware, which makes the machine run cooler.
I have no explanation and speculation seems pointless. (The shutdown repair consisted of replacing the heat sink and top case; as far as I know, no involvement with airport components.) But I'm again a happy camper.

I have a 2009 MB Pro. I have been trying to do some cleaning of files and discovered that in Finder, All Images, I am experiencing a frustrating problem. I spent a few hours trashing over 4K images and within a few hours, I had as many more. Help!

I have a 2009 MB Pro. I have been trying to do some cleaning of files and discovered that in Finder, All Images, I am experiencing a frustrating problem. I spent a few hours trashing over 4K images and within a few hours, I had as many more. I did a couple of thousand trashed images and half hour later, more arrived. There are a lot of images that seem off the internet, including gif.s, png.s. Help!

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

Inbox preview problem - cannot see subject, from, date etc but can read emails..

Hello All
I am using Thunderbird on a Mac, this problem began yesterday.
The preview section of my inbox is not showing that is things like subject, from, date etc all I am seeing is blank rows but I can still click on these rows to see my messages.
I have attached a screenshot to show the problem, I am quite baffled by this.
I am running 4 inboxes but only this one has the problem, it is through imap, (screenshot attached of the inbox properties)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I use aperture 3 since a long time. Using slit viewer, noe the bigger image become bigger then the given space and shifted to the right, so that I can't see the complete picture anymore. And I also don't see the last few picture in the strip below. How can I splve this problem?

This lloks like your preferences file might have become corrupted.
you probably have a problem with corrupted user preferences.
Remove the Preferences: Remove the Aperture's user preferences from the User Library as described here:
Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
Note:Your User Library is hidden by default in 10.7.x or later - to open it in a Finder window use the "Go" menu from the Finder's main menu bar.
Quit Aperture, if it is running. Log off and on again.
Open the user library by using the Finder's "Go > Go to Folder" menu and hold down the options-key, until "Library" appears in the drop down menu. Select it.
In the widow that will open, scroll down to "Preferences"
From the "Preferences" folder remove "com.apple.Aperture.plist".
Then try to launch Aperture again.
But deleting the "Preferences" file will cause Aperture to forget the preferences settings. Be prepared to have to reset all options you set using the Aperture Preferences panel.

Another selectOneMenu Problem....

Hi all,
first of all I have to say that I'm really new to JSF (just to let you know, that this question might be really stupid...)
Ok, following combination:
-jsp site with a form and the following selectOneMenu:
<h:selectOneMenu id="fileType" value='#{uploadBean.filetype}'>
<f:selectItems value="#{uploadBean.allFiletypes}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>
- uploadBean (code extract):
    String filetype;
    ArrayList allFiletypes;
    public String getFiletype()
        return filetype;
    public void setFiletype(String s)
        filetype = s;
    public Collection getAllFiletypes()
        if(this.allFiletypes==null)
             allFiletypes = new ArrayList();
             allFiletypes.add(new SelectItem("type1"));
             allFiletypes.add(new SelectItem("type2"));
             allFiletypes.add(new SelectItem("type3"));
        return allFiletypes;
    public void setAllFiletypes(Collection list)
        allFiletypes = new ArrayList(list);
    }I can see the select menu filled with the items "type1" .. "type3", but when I selected one type and submitted my form, the filetype is <b>null</b>.
I tried quite a few things and also read quite a few topics in the forum, but either I'm just too stupid to understand them or ... I don't know.
Hopefully one of you has pity with me and has a small look over my problem.
I would be really thankful (as I was trying to solve this problem for nearly the whole day today and as I'm quite sure, it's a stupid mistake ;-) ).
Thanks in advance and greetings!

USB drive connected to airport i cant see it??

Hello all, i have an airport extreme. network is all setup fine. I have a USB drive connected to the airport setup for timemachine backups. What i would do is turn it on every week for the day and all my mac would backup to it. Last night i turn it on for my backups and none of my macs seems to be able to find it. Well today right out of the blue the imac suddenly sees it and runs a backup. But i cant see it with the macbook pro. I double checked the setting on the airport and dont see anything out of place. I can however see the drive in finder but when i click on it system tells me it cant connect. Any suggestions?

it's not new. this information has been available for some time.
Now this worked perfectly
it did (and does) so for many users. it just means is that, if you run into problems (as you do now), there will be no support from Apple.
I now have to physically connect my usb drive to each of my computers to have them back up?
no. you'd connect the drive to one machine and let the other Macs back up to it via your network.
printer i suppose ?
yes. and HD's for sharing files across your network - just not for TM backups !

Problem in seeing a shape from different angle

Hi all,
I am facing the problem in seeing an arrow on canvas. I am using QuadArray to form a shape of Arrow.
I have created an arrow on a location where i click on canvas.
When i see it from different angles, some of the surfaces got disappear even though they are in existence from another angle. Can any one tell me why the shapes are visible from particular angle and disappear from another?
Thanks!

Hi
I have been facing similar problem while creating planes. I have put the problem aside to get the project going. But I am conviced that it might be a lighting problem. but adding a light on the other side hasn't helped. Here is the post that shows my code. The problem isn't solved, but it might give you another perspective.
Let me know if you solved the problem, if so how.
