Can't get Bluberry iMac on network

Got a Bluberry iMac and can't seem to get it to see my existing Airport network. Purchased and installed an Airport card and adapter for it. Airport is on, but it can't seem to pick up the network even when only 3 feet away from base station. I even disabled my basestation security settings to see if it could pick it up. No dice. How do I figure out if the card actually works?
I reinstalled the OS(to an older version 10.2) since thats all I had(came with 10.3.7). I can't even connect to my network via ether net cable to the netgear switch. I have an ethernet cable connected but for some reason it can't seem to find it.
I'm stumped.it should not be this hard.
My network setup is Earthlink DSL into my snow airport station which distrubutes IP addresses and is connected to a Netgear switch. I already have an AL 15 Powerbook and a Ti667 set up on the same network via airport that works just fine.
Clues? How do I check that the airport card is indeed working? Why wont even cabled ether net not work?

The instructions are in KB 58537, iMac (Slot Loading): Installing or replacing an AirPort Card. Take a look at steps 8-10.
That still does not explain my inability to get the ethernet connection running via direct connection to the switch(which is downstream from the Snow Airport base station).
Either you have the wrong type of Ethernet cable, or the Ethernet port is broken. Your iMac does not have an autosensing Ethernet port therefore you need the correct type of Ethernet cable for the situation. A direct connection to an Ethernet switch requires an Ethernet patch cable (straight through). Some situations require an Ethernet crossover cable.

    Hi
    My Powerbook was the same. Only fix is to reinstall OSX from the install CD but be sure not to pick the Format and install clean. Once you boot with the install CD pick the preserve user data and settings.
    On My machine the reinstall looked perfect. My network, email, files and all the programmes were all there. Most apps worked fine but Adobe CS2, Virtual PC and NetBarrier all needed reinastallation as they reported a few files or registration was missing. I went for the 10.4.3 upgrade again and it worked fine.
    Good luck

  • How can I get my imac to get valid ip numbers?

    how can I get my imac to get valid ip numbers?

    Try renewing you DHCP Lease, click on your system preferences and then click network.  Select your ethernet connect on the left then click the advance button, when the windows opens make sure the TCP/IP tab is selected then click the Renew DHCP Lease, wait a few minutes and then check your IP address.  Also check you DNS by clicking on the DNS tab and taking a look at you DNS servers then should be the same as you other computers. 

  • How can I get my iMac to work with scanners?

    How can I get my iMac to work with scanners? The scanners scan just fine, but not to my iMac. I've tried Epson and HP all-in-ones; it makes no diffference. I'm becoming extremely displeased, but don't know at whom I should be displeased, the printer guys or Apple. Help?

    My Epson is able to do scans using Image Capture without any problems at all.

  • How can I get my IMac to recognise the scanner part of the HP printer/scanner?  It prints!

    How can I get my iMac to recognise the scanner part of the HP printer/scanner?  It prints!@

    I had a similar problem right after the first update to 10.6.7, which happened to quite a few people.  It took a couple of software updates and then an HP printer update to fix it.  So make sure that all your software updates are up to date.   Mine is an older printer: C6280 All-in-one but scans fine now that my mac recoginises it.  You might want to check on the HP site also.
    It was really frustrating because it had worked fine before.

  • How can I get my iMac to show videos, such as those on YouTube, again?

    How can I get my iMac to show videos, such as those on YouTubes, email, AOL, and others, again.

    OK. What happens when you try?
    Have you updated your Flash to the latest video? Worth trying again, just in case you haven't.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Click Install Now, download, and run the installer from your Downloads folder. Make sure you install it all the way (it'll ask you to quit Safari). Then re-launch Safari and try the video sites again. If that doesn't work, download and run Firefox, and try there - let us know if one browser works and one doesn't.

  • I can't get my iMac to accept a CD/DVD disc.  It acts like there's already one in there but there isn't.  Tried the help menu but nothing worked.Suggestions?

    I can't get my iMac to accept a CD/DVD disc.  It acts like there's already one in there but there isn't.  Tried the help menu but nothing worked.Suggestions?

    Thank you, Allen.  My iMac is a 2009.  I can't shine a light into the disc drive slot as it has a built in whisker cover that prevents anything from getting in.  It will accept a disc half way in before the disc reaches a springy obstruction.
    About 3 weeks ago, the computer locked up so I inserted the OS disc and reinstalled it.  In general, the computer works just like it used to but we've had a few quirks appear; for example, this is one of them.  Also, we can't figure out how to keep from having to sign-in when we turn the computer on.  Also, we can't access our one on-line account anymore.  Very strange.

    P.S.:  Just realized I mis-spelled your name.  Sorry Allan.

  • I can't get my iMac to respond only the right click works

    I can't get my iMac to restart itt seems to start Rita back where it was when I restart and my mouse is not responding right. I can't get it to click regularly. Only the right click works

    Which mouse and iMac do you have? Over the past 4 years or so there have been at least 3 mice that work on Intel based iMacs.
    The first place to check is the mouse's preferences which are at System Preferences - Mouse.
    If they are set correctly then do a SMC reset and see if that solves the issue:
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • After loading yosemite can't get permissions from any network PC - OK from MACs on network...any advice?

    after loading yosemite can't get permissions from any network PC - OK from MACs on network...any advice?

    would love to...way over my head so far...upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 - I have another MAC (motorola chipset...maybe 10.6?) and 3 PCs on the network...the older MAC linked up through the network just fine...
    I can see the Yosemite MAC on the PCs...I can open customer file folders (I am a printer) from the shared drive...I can drag files (let's just call them PDFs, they mostly are) to the MAC customer file...but if I try to open them from the PC I get an error message that says permission denied - or may be in use by another user. There are no other users. After I uploaded to Yosemite, I noticed most if not all drives and or folders had permissions changed to either no access or to read only...I've changed as many as I could find...drives, and folders...I can open those same files if I'm on the yosemite mac...Here's the catch, though...I was on a different floor and that PC can open a PDF on the Yosemite...but the RIP that prints our large format prints now won't print those files (whole RIP locks up) unless they are first dragged to the PC desktop...then all is fine. I thought it was MAC upgrade oriented, but I do have a PC that halfway works...I'm really stymied...

  • Can i get my imac g5 that has vertical lines on it fixed for free as it is a fault???

    can i get my imac g5 that has coloured vertical lines on it fixed for free as it is a manufacturing fault???
    just asking cause it is really annoying
    and also if it gets done for free do i need to under warrenty and apple care or can it get done without the warrenty as i looked it up and it said on mac rumors that it didn't have to be under warrenty.
    thanks heaps.

    Well I said thank you Apple too soon I guess! It's been a week since I filled out the form for the free update/upgrade program, still haven't heard anything from them! They only responded that they received my request and gave me a reference number but the email address was a "no-reply" address so where am I supposed go on and check or ask or inquire with this number?
    When I go to the original webpage given to apply for the program there is no section to check the status of my application! So again I wander where can I write to, to ask about the status of my application for the free update of my OS X Lion software?
    Do I write to App Store or iTunes or Apple US or the Turkish reps? The store I bought it from doesnt know about this they say it's all done thru Apple?
    I'm confused! Who should know and where did my application go to? Who receives these forms and who do I check in with? Does anybody know?
    Thank you.

  • How can I get my iMac screen to divide into sections? I'm using OS X 9.2. Thanks.

    How can I get my iMac screen to divide into sections? I'm using Maverick OS X 9.2. Thanks.

    You cannot split a monitor up into sections in Mac OS X.
    You can have separate monitor spaces or desktops that you can access using the Spaces or Mission Control functionality in OS X Mavericks.
    You cannot split monitor views into seperate sections
    There is no such way to do this in Mac OS X.
    Do a search for an app called Cinch OR another app called A Better Snap Tool. Both of these apps are in the Mac App Store.
    These may work for you.
