Can not get past "inactive" on airport?

Yep, can not turn airport active in Network prefs, "Turn Airport ON" button is grayed out. I believe this started w/ 10.5.8. My Mac pro is connected to airport w/ ethernet (bridged from a Linksys --ya know the linksys never has problems, it just runs -- what giver w/ apple's superiorty -- airport problems and printing problems just seem common w/ OS updates?), but I have to get on one of the other mac in the house have normal access to the airport.
I have trashed airport prefs in system config, hard reset the airport, but really no change? Thanks

I have the same problem since switched from Leo to Snow Leopard. Apple has a bug that trashes our work with the MAC.

  • I verified my email, then went to sign in and I can not get past the Sign In.

    I need some help. I made an account and verified my email. I then went to sign-in and a box pops up saying I need to review my account. I go back to review it and it takes me to the support page. In other words... I can not get past the Sign In.

    Thanks, Andrew for your help.  Not sure if you will see this, but I did the above and it said the HD was okay.  Rebooted it and still won't go past login page.  Tried it again and this time typed in the line /sbin/fsck -fy and then it came up and said HD was okay, but said something about being modified.  I once more rebooted, but it still won't get past the login screen.  Besides taking long to reboot, as before, I am able to enter my password, but then it hangs up with the rainbow icon rotating continuously.  Does this mean that the disk is corrupt or partially so, and if so, can you advise how I should proceed?  TIA again.

    Restart your phone and if that doesn't help, reboot the device.
    Restart the iPhone by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reboot the iPhone by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the phone start up.

  • New Build can not get past 2E on debug and 2A on dashboard

    I have a new build - Big Bang, I7 -950,  Corsair  xms3  8gb 2 X 4, Radeon HD 5770 HD-577A-ZN, WD Caviar Green 1 TB, Liteon 24X DVD,  Ultra X4 750 W modular power supply, 932 HAF Case.
    When I boot I can't get past 2E on the debug and 2A on the dashboard and nothing on the monitor.  I have removed everything and replaced it and checked the pins on the processor which are good to go and still  comes up with 2E and 2A

    What's the story on the RAM? Dual Channel?  Please provide specific specs, timings, recommended voltage, etc. With an i7 950, presuming this is an Xpower Big Bang & not an 1156 socket variety.

  • Can not get past program load-up

    The program was working fine however recently I can not move past loading up the program. I access aperture and the program comes up however then I go in to a in-definate loadup and cannot move forward.
    This all happened after I deleted a project and then tried to move it back from my trash. The folder name was created however it never loaded completely and told me to re-boot system.
    After re-boot, this is the current situation.
    Any ideas are welcome.
    Thank you - Tony

    Hi Tony,
    My guess is that putting the trashed project back has caused the problems; you can't just move them in and out of the Aperture library and expect things to be peachy. In Finder, right click the icon for the Aperture library and choose "Show package contents", and then drill down until you see all the project folders. Delete the problem project from the Aperture library, then take all the image from the trash and reimport them into a new project.
    Alternatively, restore your Aperture library using Time Machine from the point just before you deleted the project accidentally.

  • Can not get past blinking question mark after restarting in os 9

    I have a ibook g3 clamshell 576mb ram 366mhz 30gb hd. I added the hard drive and upgraded the memory and then forgot to update the firmware before I installed os x tiger. So I keep getting kernal panics because the firmware is not upgraded. Like a fool when I upgraded to tiger I erased os 9 to free up more space thinking I would never use os 9 ever again anyway. Well the only way you can upgrade the firmware is to have os 9 installed so I copied os 9 system folder and applications from another ibook and transformed them to my ibook hd. I then clicked on the os 9 on the start up disk and tried to boot into os 9 so I could do the firmware update. Well now it will not boot past the blinking question mark. I guess there must of been some missing files? How do i get past the blinking question mark? Do I have to go and buy a copy of os 9 to reinstall it back on the ibook? Please help I am stuck here.

    Don't think anyone will like the answer but this is how I did it. You have to put a os x cd in restart holding c and then follow through with the install. I used os x 10.0.3 then you have to do the same with a os 9 install disc and initialize disk image and then do the os 9 install download your firmware update and then reinstall the mac os x you are going to use. And for anybody out there a ibook g3 with an old airport card can connect to wep all you have to do is add a $ before your password works everytime. Hope this helps somebody. My only problem is after a downloaded the firmware update thats a .smi file evrytime I try to open it it says no application could open it. I thought .smi were self mounting image files. I never have used os 9 much and have no idea how to open this file. Can anybody give me a walk through on how to select a application to open this file so I can mount and install this firmware update.

  • Can not get past log on screen

  • I a have a pop up in Safari and can not get past it.

    Here is the pop up.  How do I get past it and is this real?

    You may have installed the "Downlite" or "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have an adware variant not covered by the support article. Ask for instructions in that case.
    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This malware is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates
    if it's not already checked.
