Connect IBOOK g3 to netgear model wpn824v2

I just inherited an Ibook G3. I have a netgear Model WPN824v2 wireless router. I am not able to get an internet connection wirelessly. The ibook shows my wireless network name, but when I enter my password, the ibook says it isn't a good password. I am totally confused. Please help

My iBook also doesn't connect to our NetGear Router with wireless N standard. Our router is supposed to be backward compatible with wireless b and g standards but I think this is at the heart of our problem. If I discover anything I'll let u know. I intend to borrow a belkin usb wireless n adapter or similar and see if I can get to it that way or be logging into it from the Vista computer and checking that it is enabled for the older standard.
I will be watching this to see if our problem is resolved.

    Thank you wjsten for your soon reply. Unfortunately on these days I'm in a country that Apple don't have any retail store here and for sake of time I prefer to fix it myself to DHL it to the nearest country to use its warranty. Do you have any idea how can I fix it? Do you think it's a software issue?

    According to:

    It has DVI ports.  This means you are best to use an adapter that supports DVI.  Note there is no audio that carries over DVI.  What you need is a mini-Displayport to DVI adapter, and the proper DVI cable. Since Dell doesn't have the specs, you'll need to tell us if you have pins or holes, and how many are grouped.

    Is it possible to connect a MacBook Pro (prev model 2009, 2.26ghz) to an Apple Thunderbolt display:  will the cable fit?

    Sorry it won't work.  It will fit but the laptop can't communicate with it.  Please see many of the other threads here, specifically this one just above your post, that is discussing this exact question.
    Apple's specs for the ThunderBolt display state that it needs a ThunderBolt-enabled computer.  Your laptop has a mini-display port connection so it is not compatible with the new displays.

    I have been suckered by this problem too. I had all my e-books, mostly PDFs, saved on my NAS and available in iTunes.

  • Connecting iBook G4 to TV - cables OK, but not working

    Hi. I bought an apple video adapter and plugged this into my TV via an additional S-video cable. I have plugged in the audio (mac to TV via jack / RCA).
    The sound works fine. No image on the TV
    I have set the TV on the right channel (AV5 in my case is the S-video), and get moving grey stripes (vs. static image if not plugged in).
    Is there anything I need to do on the computer eg. set some preferences so it recognizes the need to output to TV?
    Any other idea? I'm very frazzled, as working out which cables to get already took me some time!
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Wow, Alex, this is like Christmas all over again! Thank you for being so patient with me and taking the time.
    My TV is a SONY BRAVIA 40" KDL-40S2010 model. From what I understand, I have:
    - HDMI
    - VGA
    - component
    - S-video
    - 2 peritels (I think they're called SCARTs in English)
    - and audio L/R of course in 4 different areas according to the above
    With my current ibook G4, you tell me I only have a mini-VGA out which is analog, so I'm happy to stick with the current S-video connection, because:
    - the alternative VGA connection would also be analog - no point in changing?
    - I don't see DVI-D on the TV and don't see the point of analog to digital anyway
    My only current problem is that I find the S-video connection surprisingly poor.
    I know not to expect the same resolution as a computer screen, but it is only just readable, and certainly excludes using the TV as an alternative or extended monitor for any purpose.
    For video it is lousy but watchable.
    I tried all three resolution options on the mac and played with all image formats on the TV.
    MY QUESTION: is this normal???? Something tells me that it can't be - not this bad!
    And since you're so kind, I'll test a hypothetical question: given my TV which I just bought and won't change for some time soon, if I upgrade my computer to a current MacBook Intel model (not a MacBook Pro), what would be the best audio & video connection to the TV?
    If you answer this you definitely deserve a bottle of (French!) wine if you come through Paris!

  • Connecting iBook to Verizon EVDO with a Cell Phone

    Verizon allows access to their EVDO network through four cell phones models with a USB cable connecting the cell phone and a notebook computer. Has anyone done this with an iBook? If so, can you tell me how to do it? Any information would be appreciated.
    iBook   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Yes, all have Bluetooth. The 4 phones are:
    LG VX8100
    LG VX9800
    Motorola RAZR V3c
    Motorola 813
    Verizon just recently allowed access to their EVDO system using these phones. (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1918150,00.asp)
    I can use Bluetooth or a data cable from RPI Wireless (http://www.rpiwireless.com) or the data cable in the Verizon V Cast kit. The big problem is no one I can reach at Verizon or Apple, either at a store or over the phone, knows anything about this. I'm trying to find out how to make the connection to the EVDO system once the phone to iBook connection has been established. I would think this knowledge would be valuable to Apple since neither the iBook G4 nor the 12 inch Powerbook G4 have PCMCIA slots. Any help would be deeply appreciated.

  • WEP Connection iBook Won't Connect if Password Active

    Just got a new iBook today.
    Currently running a Linksys Router (802.11b) with WEP. My G5 is direct connected to it.
    When I activate my WEP password my iBook will not connect.
    I've tried creating/entering a variety of passwords. (Exactly 13 character) As demonstrated in this document:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108058
    If I disable the WEP I connect without a problem. I'd like to have some password protection.
    Does anyone have any suggestions what the problem could be?
    thanks.
    --Kevin

    ]I just moved into a household w/ a linksys WEP router. Everyone in the house uses PC except for me. I have an ibook. My airport can detect the network. However, when I tried to join the network by using the WEP key as the password, it didn't work. Is a WEP key different from a WEP password? I talked to the linksys tech support people but they knew nothing about apple so they told me to ask the apple people.
    One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
    In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
    The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
    One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
    Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.

  • Connecting iBook harddrive to IDE box

    Hi,
    A couple of weeks ago my iBaby died... as a couple of people on here suggested, it was the logic board and the engineer said the repairs would cost as much as a new one, so reluctantly - and somewhat in shock - i bought a MacBook.
    The harddrive on the iBook is believed to be fine (i didn't back-up... believe me, I will now) so I have bought a 2.5" IDE box to put it in and just spent the last hour removing the harddrive from the iBaby (breaks my heart to see her in pieces), following instructions found on here (thanks to those kind people).
    So I have the harddrive out and I have the IDE box but I'm a bit concerned about the connection. The harddrive as a long bank of 'holes' and then a small gap and then four 'holes' on the end to connect... the IDE box has the long bank of 'prongs' to go into those, but nothing to plug into the four (two and two on top of each other)...
    Is that correct or have I been sent an IDE box with a bit of socket missing???
    I'm reluctant to plug it in and try
    Thanks in anticipation
    Charley xx

    The "four (two and two on top of each other)" pins are for the . For example, if you have two hard drives installed, one will need to be configured as the "master" device and the other will have to be configured as the "slave" device. You would use a jumper to cover two of the four pins to tell the hard drive it should be a "slave" device.
    Different configurations may vary between hard drive manufacturers, so without knowing exactly which model hard drive was in your iBook, we might not be able to answer your question without a doubt, but since your hard drive should have been "master" inside the iBook and will need to be "master" in your box, you shouldn't need to worry about that configuration. Usually the "master" configuration means there are no pins covered by a jumper.

  • Ibook G4 late 2004 model charging intermittently-flashes amber then green

    Hi there, i have an ibook G4 14 inch late 2004 with mac os x 10.4.11. my previous 45w power cord needed to be jiggled in order to power the laptop (it was pretty damaged). yesterday, it stopped working completely, so i went to the apple store and bought a new 65w power cord. of course, it worked perfectly in the store. when i went home, it seemed to work perfectly until the battery reached about 37%, then it started doing this weird thing. while plugged in, the light on the power cord started flashing, changing from green to amber. it will be green for about 8 seconds, then amber for about 6 seconds.
    it does this whether the computer is being used or shut down. while i was using the computer, the battery drained pretty quickly, so i shut it down and left it plugged in overnight. overnight, it seemed to have charged a little bit. the battery says it is 55% charged and, when i open my energy saver on system preferences, it will appear as if it is charging while the power cord light flashes amber, then stops charging when the power cord light flashes green. as i said, it will be amber for about 6 seconds, then green for about 8 seconds.
    i tried resetting the PMU, but it did not work (perhaps i did it incorrectly?). i then tried to reset the pmu and the pram via these instructions:
    turned computer off.
    Make sure the Caps Lock key is not down.
    Restart the computer. Immediately after hearing the startup sound, simultaneously press and hold Command-Option-P-R. (If you do not hold down the key combination within 5 to 10 seconds after the computer restarts, you must repeat steps 1-3.)
    Hold down the keys until you hear the startup sound again. Then release the keys.
    If the computer shuts itself off, press the reset button on the back of the computer to turn it back on.
    that didn't work. then i tried to just reset the PMU again (via the support instructions) by turning the computer off, then simultaneously pressing and then releasing Shift-Control-Option-Power on the keyboard. Did not press the fn (Function) key while using this combination of keystrokes.
    Waited 5 seconds, then pressed the power button.
    that didn't help either.
    i have been trying to figure this out but have not been able to thus far. of course, aside from being able to read, i have no computer savvy whatsoever. ANY help would be so appreciated. sorry i typed so much, but since i do not know much about computers, i was unsure what information was most pertinent.
    thanks again, SOOOO much, for any help. i would be glad to answer any medical questions as a thank you.

    There may be other issues in the computer's hardware, such as the
    battery; as it should have about 4,000 (mAh) in full capacity when it
    is charged and the one you have appears to be at best, 50% of that.
    Also, there is a chance the DC-in Board may be defective or have a
    poor internal connection where the AC Adapter plugs into the iBook.
    There are some pages at iFixit.com about how to remedy this defect;
    and parts are available to repair this, still. (But suspect the battery, 1st.)
    I'm looking at the charging information on your log report and wonder if
    the battery is the reason why there is a Zero, in that section; or if there
    is some DC-in Board reason. Without a known-good battery, it's hard to
    tell what else may be going on. Unless you take it to a Genius bar...(?)

    Troubleshooting power related issues in a portable computer can be a
    bit tedious as the computers age, and potential sources of the problem
    may be at play in there, at the same time.
    There also is a matter of calibrating a battery on a routine basis, to be sure
    it works correctly and the microchip controller for charging it is working OK.

    The battery is the most likely culprit in the matter of the charge light indicator
    changing color from Amber to Green and back again, like that. This is a matter
    of troubleshooting, so if you know someone with a healthy iBook G4 battery
    (as noted in Profiler's battery or energy information, hi-power/low-use cycles)
    you may be able to check the activity without additional purchases.
    Be sure to get a replacement battery from a reputable company, as some of
    the third-party cheap imports have less battery capacity when new than an
    old partially used Apple battery would have. (And flaky warranty, too.)
    The battery is the most likely item, at this point. A replacement is suggested.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How to Connect iBook with HDTV for iMovie?

    How can I connect my iBook G4, which has iMovie 7, to an HDTV (or its VCR) in order to download the HDTV's digital file, for iMovie? I do this now for an analog signal TV using analog to digital converter between my iBook and an analog TV VCR. Will appreciate comments. Chuck Y. Chicago. 28 November 2008.

    12/9/2008. My own answer follows. I phoned Apple Tech Support and they did not know. I phoned Computer Discount Warehouse Tech Support where I bought my iBook and they did not know. I phoned the Apple Store and they did not know, but said it would take a cord with the three--red, white, yellow--plugs for the TV set into a firewire plug for the iBook. I phoned Radio Shack and they did not know nor have such a cord. I phoned MacMall and they did not know. Finally I phoned Canopus who makes the converter to use between an analogue TV and my iBook, and they said that the converter would also accept the digital to digital signal from the TV VCR (after mid February 2009 TV change to digital) to my iBook. Best wishes. C. Yopst, Chicago

  • Macbook Pro 13'' late-2011 not connecting to Virgin Media netgear wi-fi router

    Having recently bought myself a shiny new macbook pro 13'' running the very latest Lion OS it was really disappointing when I started experiencing wi-fi issues.  A google search from my PC (which was still connecting fine) uncovered a load of threads and posts about Macbooks not playing ball with third party routers.  There were loads of workarounds suggested and I didn't know where to start.
    My macbook had connected fine for the first couple of weeks but then wi-fi started dropping in and out, internet and iTunes we really slow and kept freezing, macbook said it couldn't connect to network ("connection timeout") and even told me my network password was invalid (which it wasn't). 
    I called the guys at Apple Care and they were great.  After 1/2 hour on the phone I had changed the DNS so the two addresses showed: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. (under advanced network options) then manually logged into my netgear router and changed the channel to 11 (it was on Auto) and it's now all sorted.  I'm not a technie by any means but Apple Care talked me through everything.  Just give them a call and it shouldn't be too hard to fix.

    If the MBP was purchased within the last year take it to the Apple store
    or contact Apple. There are few threads in this site dealing with the same issue.
    There is no single sure shot step to correct this problem.
    May be you can go through those discussions and find a solution.
    Best.
