Brand New iMac and Linksys WAG54G v2 - WEP but not WPA
Hi All
I have a brand new iMac and a Linksys WAG54G v2 wireless network hub;
I have set up the network with no encryption and everything works
I have set up the network with WEP encryption and everything works
I have set up the network with WPA encryption and everything works (PCs and printers) except my new iMac.
Occasionally it works (1 in 50) but mostly it fails with the message "There was an error joining the AirPort network "<name of SSID>".
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot/fix this?
Thanks
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)
Hi All
I've just discovered the console and filtered the messages on "airport"

I'm guessing my failures might be due to one of two problems; inability to find the router or connection timeouts; does anyone know how to monitor/snoop this connection and/or fix this problem?
Thanks

Just purchased a brand new iMAC and sucessfully performed download and install of Mountain Lion (free upgrade). Discovered that dashboard widgets will not download as webpage times_out in both Safari and Firefox. Already set security to allow downloads from 'anywhere' but with no change. Downloads from anywhere else works fine, just widgets won't work, and I've been trying for several days now. Any suggestions? (firewall is off).

Had CS4 on Power PC Mac (Non Intel) along with prior Photoshop versions. Now I have new iMac and trying to install CS6 but it won't accept my original serial number (Starts with PSW401, etc.).
I know what you are saying. I had purchased the CS5.5 upgrade, and a week later got the CS6 upgrade. I did this back in 2012. I had a old Mac Power PC which does not allow you to install CS5.5 or CS6 because it was not an intel processor. So even though I had the upgrades I never installed them. I waited until my old MAC died which it did this past weekend. And now that I have a new iMac I tried to install the new software. All of my past upgrades referenced my original Photoshop that was still resident on my old Mac. But since the install no longer has that reference because of the new computer, it will not accept any of my past serial numbers that it needs for the install.

Has anyone got photostream to upload from a pc yet? Works fine between my MacBookPro and iMac and TO my PC's but not FROM my PC's
Same here. Seems to download great, but upload is a problem. Searched for some type of file size / type restriction, but the help pages do not seem to be in place yet.

I have a brand new iMac. It was working fine until I downloaded Mavericks. Now I have web pages that freeze while trying to load. The blue in the address bar stalls and freezes. If I try to load from page 1 to a later page, or reverse that, I also have the same problem. I tried to connect my printer for the first time, and again, the blue progress bar froze. Then I got the yellow triangle telling me there was a connection problem. My internet connection is via an Air Card as that is my only option where I live. I packed up the whole new iMac and took it to my Air Card provider, where they also have very fast Wifi, and they had the same problem with Wifi. I use my Air Card with my MacBook and it works JUST GREAT! I really want to return to Lion. HELP.
The only way to retutn to Lion is to format your drive (erase, lose all) and either:
1. clone back the clone copy i hoep you have, or
2. first backup your files, then format and install Lion again
But really, mavericks works great. You have a problem. Find out why. First, what unusual software do oyu have installed that may be conflicting with it? Virus, system modifiers, etc? Second what OLD software do you have that might be the problem. finally, you might need to do a re-install if something errored during install.

I just updated my brand new iMac and now I get a white screen
I just updated my new iMac and all I get is a white screen. It went from installing to the white screen. I can do nothing but shut it down by pressing the on/off button. When turned back on I get the white screen again. What happened? What can I do about it?
If the system is less than 14 days old, you said it was "Brand New", take it back and get a refund and then buy another. Apple has a 14 day No questions asked return policy for full refund. Take advantage of and get a system that works correctly. The one you have certainly isn't.

Hi Guys, I juts bought a new Imac and jad it connected to my wireless router yesterday but now when i click on the wireless button on the top screen, it comes up saing wireless hardware not installed, have any of you had this problem? Thanks Tracey
You can quickly see if there is a problem in reporting the AirPort card by going to the apple in the upper left corner, About This Mac, More Info, System report and look at the information on Hardware and the AirPort report...make sure it is not indicating a fault.
If all looks ok, try removing the network information and reentering it and see if the AirPort responds. -
Brand new iMac 21", freeze. Mouse movies, but does nothing
We just opened a brand new iMac 21" literally yesterday (purchased within the last three weeks). It was on for about an hour with no problems whatsoever. Then, while transferring photos to iPhoto, the system interface randomly froze. You can move the mouse around the screen, but it does nothing. You can't click anything. Hard resets/shutdowns result in the system rebooting back to the desktop like normal, but the mouse stays in this semi-frozen state. You can movie the pointer, but you can't actually interact with anything to fix the problem. Nothing brings it out of this state. We're not terribly experienced with Macs (new owner) and also snowed in to boot.
Has anybody encountered problems like this before? How do I fix this freeze?
Message was edited by: ThirdMarioBroMy suggestion with a new Mac that is having those problems is to take it back to the Apple Store and ask them to fix it. Beside allowing them to solve the problem that will also give them the chance to document the problem with your Mac just in case it should happen again.

Brand new iMac, and the load time for internet use is very poor
Brought my new iMac home today. 2.7 GHz intel core i5
Got it set up with my wireless and i am very unimpressed with the internet and loading speed. My phone, 1 lap top, and 1 ipad use wireless in our house along with the iMac. i have a cisco linksys E2500 is that sufficient enough all of my usage? No gaming more than what a todler would play on. Basic internet use and editing pictures.
My question i guess is, is it my router or are iMac's just not that fast?The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies. -
Brand New iMac and wired keyboard not working
I just bought a new iMac.The wired keyboard seems to work, the mouse is plugged into the keyboard and that works, and I can, somewhat make changes to the volume and other small changes. The ESC key works (I can turn off VoiceOver)but... I can not even get the computer up and going. I can not put in my name or other registration information.
Any ideas if the keyboard has some kind of other settings that I need to turn off. There is no software or anything else in the Mac that I know of. It is brand new and just arrived today.
Anyone have any suggestions?I'm so sorry. I know this a bummer. But better to take it back. When you take it in, if they boot it and get it to work, make sure and shut down the iMac, wait about ten seconds and press the power button. Make sure it boots to the Desktop and that your keyboard functions as it should. Just make absolutely sure it works before you bring it back home. In fact, since you could not get through the registration process, perhaps they will go through that with you since had problems with it. Something isn't communicating between the iMac and the keyboard. Could be the USB ports, software/hardware ... hopefully they'll repair it to your satisfaction or replace it.

Re-imaged brand new iMac and no longer boots
Hiya,
I did this in the past and naively did it again! We use a fairly up to date image that we restore machines with, however on this occasion a new iMac came in and I re-imaged it. Sad to say, the machine boots up with a slightly turned no entry sign. I seen this in the past and think it has something to do with the image not recognising the new chipset...
However, I tride the Recovery technique to download and install a fresh copy onto the mac-hd. It seems to work with no error issues and gets as far as rebooting but then the no entry sign appears again!
Does anyone have any ideas as I doubt we will get a new iMac in any time soon to take an image of it?
ThanksNew machines usually come with a computer-specific build, rendering installing images made with earlier versions unworkable. However, since wiping and restoring via the recovery mode failed, contact Apple's Express Lane and let them sort things out.
P.S. Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try recovery again. -
I just purchased a brand new Imac and ITunes doesn't recognize CD names
Hello,
I come to this forum humbly and with gratitude. These Apple Support Communities have saved my sanity countless times as I was learning Garage Band several years ago.
I recently purchased a new Imac (May '11) to use primarily for Logic recording. I decided to import a few CDs from my collection (all major label artists/store bought CDs). The first CD I placed into the CD drive was not recognized by Gracenote. I thought this was perhaps I was trying to import a CD I purchased outside of the US. However, when I looked up the artist I found their entire collection at the iTunes store.
Now, I'm almost 100% sure this is user error and I'm hoping you can help me. Every CD I place into the CD drive of my iMac is not recognized. I have read many 3-4 year old posts about this same issue, but I have not seen any recent ones. I have read that security settings need to be adjusted and I have experimented with the firewall turned on and off to no avail.
Any insight/advice would be greatly appreciated. If this topic has recently been covered, please excuse my ignorance, I was simply not able to find any current solutions.
Thank you,
JeffHi Diane,
First off, I want to thank you for taking time to respond and help me, I really appreciate it!
I have verified everything in the iTunes Prefs > General, and there is a check next to automatically retrieve CD track names, and yes, my internet connection is active.
Instead of going off of the wireless router, I simply connected my ethernet cable directly to the back of my iMac because I suspected there were some connectivity issues. This move seems to have improved things greatly.
Update: I restarted my iMac and iTunes now seems to be automatically connecting to Gracenote to find the track names. However, various CDs from non US-based artists are still not showing up. What puzzles me is that I am always able to find their entire song catalog and artwork on iTunes if I search for it. Do you have any idea why this might be?
Also, is there a wireless router that you would recommend for iMacs?
Thank you for your digital assitance!
Best,
Jeff -
Using an iMac and a MBP with iTunes, but NOT sync'ed.
I imagine that this has been asked before, but...
I started out with a MBP... Recently, I have purchased a new iMac. I have successfully migrated all of my files from the MBPro to the iMac. Now that I have the much more substantial HD space on the iMac, I would like to remove many files from the MBP (photos, iTunes, etc.) But, I would like to have a way to "sync" files and photos and playlists from my iMac and the iTunes installed there. Is there a way to do this? I don't want to install the whole music library, I would rather just have a playlist that I could sync. Kind of like what the iPhone does.
I'm fairly new to the Mac platform (as you can probably tell), I suppose I could delete the files from the MBP and use the iPhone as a go between, if I use a different iTunes library...but is that the best way?
I appreciate any help or info provided!
J.SimonianGreetings,
If you are referring to simply migrating an iTunes Library from one Mac to another, then it sounds like it's pretty much done. - With regard to syncing files between two libraries; I don't think that iTunes supports this.
The easiest workaround there is simply to share your library using iTunes; this will give your other Mac access to the same files, it also eliminates inconsitencies as the library will only be stored on one Mac and won't become out of sync.
I'll give you 2 links; the first relates to migrating your Library, the second relates to setting up Library sharing.

Hope these are useful.

Transferred certain files to my new Mac from my old computer via memory stick.Can open PDF files but not xlr,aww or wps ones.The important ones are in xlr format.Is there a solution please?
My guess is they don't care. Most likely they're illiterate and don't know what a colon is for. They probably think it's a little-used character. Remember: these are the people who don't know the difference between "deprecate" and "depreciate".
I have the same colon problem as you do. But it's not the biggest problem I have encountered in Lion. If it was only that I'd be Mr. Delighted with Lion. There's worse than having a colon - uh - that won't cooperate. A lot worse, in Lion. -
My Verizon e-mail account is closed and I can not access the needed updates for my I phone apps. Even if I knew the password I would have to access the old e-mail account which I can not do. I have an ID and password for my new laptop but not for my I phone which is under a Verizon service contract....ugh!!! Thanks

You don't need to access the email account.
Use the link provided by robdrage to update your old AppleID.

Viewing flash web content on N97
I've just got myself the new N97 (love it, btw). The web browsing is far better than what it was on the N95. (personal opinion). The only problem: I can't view flash web content. I can find the Flash player, but I'm talking about embedded flash video
