App doesn't show up in System Preferences after Installation

Hi -
I've been trying to install a Wireless-G USB Adapter on a G3
and is is supposed to show up in the System Preferences,
but after the installation is complete, it's not there.
Can anyone help???
Thanks...

The guide that came with the adapter says it's for OSX - OS10.3, and I'm running 10.2 - The adapter is a Hawking HWL2A for Apple users, and I was told it would work on my G3.
I understand that my USB is only 1.1, but does that affect the installer?
Would you recommend me to just obtain the original airport card & adapter?
Thanks for your help...

  • Account doesn't show up in system preferences

    In an attempt to override my master password, I started my computer in single user mode, typed /sh/mount -uw / and passwd, and then entered a new password. However, this created a new account called System Administrator on my computer that shows up in the login menu as "Other…". I want to delete this account, but when I log in to my usual account, the System Administrator account doesn't show up in System Preferences. Can anyone tell me how to delete this account?
    (Btw, any tips on how to find out what the password is for the root user would be helpful. From my normal account, the new password I entered doesn't work for root, although it does in the System Administrator account.)
    Thank you!

    Hoping that we are on the same page., but sounds like what you did was enable the root user.
    Its a user that will not be seen in system preferences and should never be gotten rid of (its great for troubleshooting).
    The root user or (system administrator) is different from a User account with Administrator access.

  • Trying to get Icloud on my Macbook and it doesn't show up in System Preferences

    I have downloaded the latest update and Icloud still doesn't show up in my System preferences. I would contact apple but it's $59 just to chat to a technician online and I was hoping someone here could help me.

    You need to upgrade the computer's OS to get that pane.
    Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Mavericks. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

  • Windows 7 Boot Camp partition doesn't show in the System Preferences.

    Hi,
    I'm running an up to date 10.6.2 on my OS X partition and Windows 7 x64 on my boot camp partition. When I looked at the start up disk preference pane the windows 7 installation didn't show. Is this normal? 32bit XP always showed in the past. If not, what should I do to fix it? I know that I can boot into windows by holding down the alt key on boot but I would like to know this is working correctly.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Make sure that you have a good install of the Apple drivers (boot camp 3.x) in Windows and that Boot Camp Control Panel there works so that you can set the default OS to either, and that it works.
    But yes, someone else mentioned the same problem or bug.
    The only cause I've seen in the past was where Mac OS X had an NTFS driver and control panel (Paragon, MacFUSE, etc) and you had to use their control panel in OS X.

  • How do I get the Airplay Icon to show on the System Preferences of my MacBook Pro?

    How do I get the Airplay Icon to show on the System Preferences of my MacBook Pro? I want to be able to connect to my AppleTV.

    I looked at that already. I've done everything it says: check to make sure wireless is working, make sure airplay is enabled, make sure device and apple tv are on the same network blah blah. The icon just isn't there. Unless I skipped a step. AirPlay works when I use it in the music app and in the video app, I jus can't get mirroring to work. I was looking at some other threads and mirroring doesn't seem to be working for a lot of people. Maybe I jus have to wait for an update =\

  • Does anyone know how to get the notification screen in iOS 7 to show the weather?  Not showing on my phone, and the weather app doesn't show in the notification dialog.

    I am not seeing the weather in the notifications for 'today'.  The weather app doesn't show up in the notifications dialog either.  What to do?

    First make sure that Weather is listed in Notification Center, mine is a the very end of the list. If it's not go below to the Do Not Include list and see if it's there. If it is manually turn it on to appear in the main list.
    Now when I swipe down from the home screen I get the date and any Today events, and below that a weather forecast stating the high and low for the day. If none of that is showing try shutting down and restarting your phone and see if that appears also make sure the Weather app is on one of your home screens, launch it from there and that alone may set everything up.
    The weather app is just not listed.  I did a soft reset, no improvement.  I'm at a loss for anything else to try.  Since the app is a system app, I can't delete and reload it.
    This is hardly an earthshattering problem, but it bugs me.

  • HT204053 My Macbook doesn't have iCloud under System Preferences.  How do I add it?

    My MacBook doesn't have iCloud under System Preferences.. Why?  How can I add it?

    Only by upgrading to Lion 10.7.2 - provided your Mac meets the requirements -
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    LIon is obtained from the Mac App Store, which you need 10.6.8 to access.

  • Printer shows up in System Preferences, Says Ready, but nothing prints

    Hi, I migrated successfully last week from a G5 to a MacPro. My printer was working up until yesterday. It is an epson stylus photo 1400, connected by usb. I downloaded a new driver from Epson, but still can't make it work. Have run Tech Tool Pro, reloaded software several times. Printer shows up in system preferences window, and when I go to print it appears to be working, but then disappears from the list and never prints. Have been checking posts, but not finding an answer. Please help if you can. Thanks, S

    Not knowing how you mucked things up when you locked yourself out or what you used with BatChnod, resolving things can be an issue. Check See Niel's guide. and ensure you've done things correctly. If resetting things appropriately doesn't do the trick, reinstall Snow Leopard, run Software Update, repair permissions, and restart.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    iCloud requires OS X Lion or later, so it's normal that you can't use iCloud in your MacBook Pro. You have to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion, and your computer is supported, so you can purchase it in the Mac App Store if you want. Make a backup of your files and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

    My weather app doesn't show the feels like temp or wind, etc.  How can I fix this?  I am running iOS 8.1.2.

    is that really what it is?  this is the native iphone weather app.  the funny part is that when i use the actual weather channel app, it does provide it.
    is this an api issue with the weather channel and the iphone then?  i guess there's no fix?
    thanks for your help by the way.

  • Is my external monitor supposed to show up in system preferences?

    I called LG because my LG monitor keeps getting stuck in 'Power Saving Mode' and the LG customer service rep said it's because my MacBook isn't recognizing the monitor.  He said that the external monitor is supposed to show up in system preferences when it is plugged in.  Is that correct?

    It should show up in the System Preferences, Displays preference pane.

  • IPhoto app doesn't show any photos from my photos app

    I just upgraded my new iPad to iOS 6 beta. Maybe that's the problem but suddenly my iPhoto app doesn't show any photos at all. All the tabs (albums, photos, events, etc) are empty.  When I open the app it says "updating photo library" briefly, but that's it. I tried rebooting, deleting the app and reinstalling it, basically everything I could.  Is this a known iOs6 bug?

    Ok, I have the release and I have the issue, photos are just boxes w no pictures, is there a way to remove library and reload? The photo app works fine and all pictures are there.

  • News feed on my Facebook app doesn't show the correct time. Can the time be set?

    News feed on my Facebook app doesn't show the correct time.  Can the time be set?

    Does your phone show the correct time?
    If not, change the time on your phone, see if it helps.
    If it does, then sign out, sign back in. If that fails, the delete and reinstall. If that fails, then contact Facebook, as they're the developers of the app and will have the proper documentation to help you further.
