Built in Airport Card on iMac Doesn't Work (The card came with my iMac)

I have an iMac Intel White. The Airport Card that came with it was working since I got the machine, but now it suddenly stopped working... When I click on it, it says Airport: Not Configured. Hmm, strange. Guess what, nothing with Airport works. There recently was a power outage, but I have the Mac on a UPS.
What is going on? More importantly, HOW DO I FIX THIS??
I am using Ethernet right now. It's not a problem; the real problem is that I cannot do Internet Sharing over the air!

Oops, made a mistake. Sorry. I'll post this in the correct iMac category.

Good Signal, but not Internet with built-in Airport card

Hi,
I'm sorry if this is a duplicate question, but I couldn't seem to find a similar situation. I'm trying to get my wireless (or any) Internet working at my house with my Powerbook G4 with a built-in Airport card. We have a Linksys 802.11g router with no security enabled. My mac is picking up a very strong signal, but everytime I go to Safari, iTunes, or Explorer it says there's no internet connection present (yet internet connect and my network says I'm connected through Airport).
I've had my wireless and ethernet working on this computer before -- picking up a variety of signals, including other linksys routers. All of the PCs in the house are working fine with this, and my mac even shows up on our router list.
The most recent experience I had with internet on my mac was earlier this week--i took it into my work to do some testing and we had to set up a specific location to get it to work through that ethernet network. When I took it home, I removed all of those configurations and tried both my wireless and ethernet, and I can not get either working. At this point, I've removed all of my configurations and tried reconfiguring. Everything but my airport is turned off. No proxies are selected. I've turned off the iPv6. I'm using DHCP (which is showing the correct router and IP address). I've deleted the System Configuration folder from Preferences. And it's on the top of the list in network and have selected Airport as the default. And none of this seems to be working. Oh, and I tested to see if it was a DNS problem (which I head read in one discussion forum), and that didn't fix it. I'm sure it's something simple that I'm missing. But I can't for the life of me get it to work.
Does anyone have any thoughts? suggestions? insights? help?
Please? I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out what this could be.
Thanks so much in advance.

Joel,

Built in microphone and touch screen doesn't work

Hi
I have problems with two things, my built in microphone doesn't record anything, also I tried all suggested steps of HP support.
Windows recognizes the microphone.
The touch screen doesn't work the touch part, but the display is working good.
Also i tried to update Drivers, but looks like Windows does not recognized the touch screen, when I going to Control Panel and search for touch screen stuff, I do not see anything.
I hope you can help me to fix this.
Thank you.

Hi @ldiego008 ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY TouchSmart m7 Notebook and the microphone and the Touchscreen not working correctly. If you follow this document it will show you how to correct this issue on the Touchscreen.
Try following this document document on Resolving Microphone and Line-in issues for Windows 8.1.
Here is something else that might help if you need it. If you go to the Device Manager (Audio inputs and outputs)and uninstall it from there restart the computer it should automatically reinstall it for you. This link shows you the Device Manager Screen shots that might help.
Hope this helps with both issues.
Thanks.

HI,
In effect this is a DNS block.
You can do it.
You need to be in an Admin Mac User Account that has non blank password.
Go to the Applications/Utilities folder and open Terminal.
You should see your shortname (the one under the Little House icon) followed by the $ symbol
Copy and paste the bold text below into Terminal after the $ symbol.
sudo pico /etc/hosts
This will load the file "hosts" into and editor that works in Terminal.
Use the arrow keys to get to the line with Verisign in it.
Now type the # symbol and it will be added in front of the character that is highlighted.
The # symbol is either Shift +3 or ALT+ 3 depending on your keyboard layout
Now use CTRL and O keys together.
This Saves the changes.
Quit Terminal.

Front camera of my iPhone 4 doesn't work, the virtual cover doesn't open.

Yesterday I have bought an used iPhone 4, so I don't have any guarantee. But the front camera doesn't work, the virtual cover doesn't open. I have read that it is something like a hardware fault. Now my question is, if Apple has to repair it because of the hardware fault?

they dont do repairs..is much easier for them to give u new handset..which u have to pay for if is out of warranty.
dont be affraid is not a full cost of handset.is be about £139.00-£169.00
i use to work as an technician engineer in a phone shop still have access to warehouse with replacement parts.
if u live in UK and willing to pay £50 i can repair it for u.i'm still cheaper than apple store

Tryoing to play QVR. Works on a MAC with version 7. Doesn't work the same using Version 10.

Have some .mov files that work just find on my MAC that has QVR player version 7. When I try these same files on a MAC that was recently updated automatically and has QVR version 10, the .mov doesn't work the same way. Is there a way to set parameters in version 120 to behave like version 7 or alternatively can I download version 7?

Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded:

Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
(Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".)
A Mac OS X v10.6, OS X Lion, and OS X Mountain Lion-compatible version of QuickTime Player 7 is available for use with older media or with AppleScript-based workflows. QuickTime Player 7 can be used to playback formats such as QTVR, interactive QuickTime Movies, and MIDI files. Also, it supports QuickTime 7 Pro registration codes for access to QuickTime Pro functionality.

I have a VGA adapter and an iPad2. Tried projecting my iPad2 to projector using the VGA but doesn't work. Tried it with friend's iPad1 and it works. Why??

I have a VGA adapter and an iPad2. Tried projecting my iPad2 to projector using the VGA but doesn't work. Tried it with friend's iPad1 and it works. Why?? Pls help.

Yup - nothing happens. I then took the same VGA cable and plugged it into my friend's iPad1 and it worked perfectly when she opened Keynote. My understanding is that the iPad2 mirrors the entire screen, so no need to go into any specific application in order to project to the screen, right? Do I need to download any specific app or change any settings in order to be able to project the screen using VGA?
Sorry - novice at this. Not very tech minded either...

You need to do more research before you make purchases like this. You've wasted your money. The ONLY officially unlocked iPhone model sold in the US is the GSM model, and that model is only sold by Apple. That's the model iPhone you should have purchased.
Did you read & understand my initial post? Especially this part:
The unlocking of the GSM portion is just for International travel in order to use local sims. You still have to pay Sprint for the use of their international GSM partner’s network on a “pay as you go basis”.

Realplayer plugin doesn't work (the tab to dl doesn't appear and right-clicking reveals no dl option either) after update to FF4?

I have updated firefox to 4.0.1, but the realplayer plugin doesn't work (the tab to dl doesn't appear and right-clicking reveals no dl option like it should either).
I have IE 9 too and the same videos tried in FF can be dl'd there but not with the new FF4, and i've checked the plugin against this page: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using%20the%20RealPlayer%20plugin%20with%20Firefox#os=win&browser=fx4, but it's exactly as it says it should be, but there is not dl tab appearing like normal.
I have also tried updating to the latest realplayer and there's no difference.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

Restart your phone by holding the power and home button until the Apple logo appears. Be aware that some owners of iPhone 4 have had difficulty using WIFI after the upgrade.

Hi Ckuan,
Thanks a lot for your advice.
Deleting the correupted back up means to delete the information of one month since the last back up I made is one month ago.....right?
This back up I made right before I restored my iphone. During the restore however my OS was upgraded to 5.1.1. and reading the comments on the internet it seems I am not the only one whom experience this problem.
Can it be that if I downgrade my OS back to 5.1. the back up will not be considered as corrupted? If so, how do I downgrade the iphone?
Thanks in advance.
