Error when attempting to join Airport Network

My iMac G4 17" flat panel has been unable to connect to my wireless Linksys router.
I recently did a software update which I hadn't done in some time, plus we finally got around to adding a WEP password as Comcast was telling me that's why we kept getting booted off the internet. Anyway, my iBook and two other PC notebooks can connect without a problem, but I can't get the iMac to join.
Sometimes it won't even find the base station. I don't understand why I get four bars on my iBook sitting right next to the iMac which can't even find the Linksys or the Airport Express I have 30 feet away connected to my stereo and printer. Is the antenna in the iMac that much differen than my first generation dual USB ibook?

I actually have this same problem, but with a pre-iSight iMac G5 17" 1.8ghz. In OS 10.3.9, there were no problems. After updating to Tiger, airport connection has been sporadic at best. VERY rarely, I can get a connection, but it's always weak and usually doesn't work, even if it says it's connected.
Usually, I try to connect and I get 'There was an error joining the __________ network.' And it prompts me to press 'ok' or 'try again'. Trying again does nothing.
I've gone through a lot trying to get this to work - and I currently am on 10.4.3 with the latest security update. I have 4 other computers in the house (3 different macs and a PC laptop) all of which are connecting fine. Any ideas on this? Any other information I should tell you?
Thanks,
Gabe

  • Internet speed issues when macbook pro joins Airport Network

    I have an apple tv, two iphones, a PC and a macbook sharing a Airport Extreme internet connection.
    The problem is that all devices are working on full internet speed until i connect my macbook pro late 2009.
    Normaly i have a download speed at 650kb/s but when the macbook connects to the Airport extreme the internet speed is jumping between 20kb/s and 200kb/s
    The unusual thing are the jumps and drops of the speed.
    When i shut down the Macbook all other devices are running on normal internet speed and the internet connection is not jumping anymore.
    What the **** is going on?

    SOLUTION FOUND to MacBook Pro poor Wi-Fi wireless signal.
    First, let's talk about the actual problem: too much signal noise. There is a hidden app in OSX called "Wi-Fi Diagnostics" This will tell you everything you need to know why your Wi-Fi is not working!
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5606
    HINT: It is included in 10.7, just look for it.
    The solution!
    Turn off your wi-fi and run your internet through your home's electrical wires. Power-line adapters are devices that turn a home's electrical wiring into network cables for a computer network.

    I purchased TP-LINK TL-PA511 and for the first time I'm downloading with ALL my internet speed (30mb down / 5mb up) tested via www.speedtest.net. I'M SOOOOO HAPPY!!!!

  • "Please Enable Java" error when attempting to join GoToMeeting webinar in Firefox 4.

    Since upgrading to Firefox 4 I'm unable to join GoToMeeting webinars, such as
    https://www2.gotomeeting.com/join/298237491/106133365
    I receive a "Please Enable Java" error, see this URL for an example: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/island/joinError?e=JavaDisabled
    I double-checked and Java is enabled and updated to latest version. I also tested it on javatester.org with success.
    These types of webinar still function appropriately in Firefox 3.6.

    Thank you, nganju, for helping.
    I did the Explorer search on *.jar files with this phrase in the file:
    OracleConnectionPoolDataSource
    There were no results to display. I searched both the computer which is working and one that doesn't.
    I used printStackTrace() to get more error message. Is there a way to print the error msg to a file so I can paste it here? Among other things, it said the following:
    com.sun.naming.internal.VersionHelper12.loadClass(VersionHelper12...

    Does any of this help you? I have no idea what to do next except call for help.
    Help! : )

  • Unable to join Airport Network

    I am being baffled by a network problem.
    I have 2 Macs, a MBP 17 inch running Snow Leopard and an old Powerbook G4 running 10.4. Both connect to a no security (ie no password wireless) network at home. "Suddenly" the MBP will not join the wireless network (A DSL model D-Link). Error message when running diagnostics of "Unable to join Airport network.....". The G4 works just fine.
    Have tried rebooting both devices ie the MBP and the D-Link. The MBP will work fine with a cable attached to the D-Link but not wirelessly!
    Also, the MBP can see the Powerbook in the FINDER under "Shared".
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    BF

    Yeah, thanks Bob, I got my MBP Safari to talk to D-Link via the http://10.1.1.1 address, put in a WEP password. Saved the changes and restarted the router. When I connect via Airport it asks for a password - I type it in then it times out. Then I went to the Powerbook and the Vista machine and they connected fine. I used my iphone and told it the password and it also worked fine.
    I prefixed it on my MBP with $ and without $ - all to no avail. I am starting to think maybe the MBP wants a WPA password for some reason. It worked fine until last night! Very strange indeed. Any more ideas?
    What gets me is that one moment it works and the next it is dead as a dodo...

  • Get 'Generic Error' when attempting to import .mov files with transparency?

    I get the 'Generic Error' when attempting to import .mov files with transparency? I'm trying to use mattes with an alpha channel but I cannot import them. I have had this same issue since cs6, now I have it with cc 2014? Any clues would be most appreciated.
    I have uninstalled the DVCPro Codec, but it didn't help.
    I have tried converting the .mov file (which is now automatic in Yosemite) and this creates a ProRes4444 Codec, Again no luck with import.
    I've seen this issue on the web, but never a solution? Anyone?

    Hi Terence,
    I tried iPhoto Library Manager but it could not solve my problem. Opening the iPhoto library I can see that the reference to the pictures are pointing to my old location not to the new one. I considered running a script that would change all pointers since this is basically what is needed (in my case from /Volumes/RAID1/Fotos/XXX to /Volumes/Fotos/XXX). Instead I inserted a soft unix link to make to connection but that did not work. It is referring to the airport disk by the airport name rather than the mounted disk name. Very strange indeed. The problem is maybe not in iPhoto but in OSX? Anyway, maybe the only way out is to take some hours and manually run through all linked photos... cumbersome and annoying!

  • Unable to join airport network - Totally perplexing

    Hi
    I work remotely from home. I have an intel iMac as my desktop and a macbook for when I am out and about. For a few days now I have been having enormous problems with my internet connection. I use Airport Express (n) to connect via my modem in another room.
    I cannot get any connection to the internet on my iMac, yet I connect fine on my Macbook sitting 6 inches from it, both using the same Express.
    When I run network diagnostics on the Imac it goes through the usual checks, green buttons up to 'Internet' and then asks what network to join, scans and finds the network that my Macbook is on. I type in the password and I get an 'Unable to join Airport Network' Trust me the password is right and I have checked it via keychain.
    I am completely perplexed why two computers using the same wifi settings a few days have changed where only one can.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks Jon

    To rule out wireless encryption, if you temporarily disable encryption on your 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station's (AXn) wireless network, can the iMac connect now? If so, try using WPA2 Personal for your encryption setting and try again. How about now?

  • Error when attempting to IMPORT object "TS_CHECK".

    When using in BI SAP NetWeaver 2004s (700 - SP 15) the transaction ST04old -> Detail analysis menu -> Summary report
    The following short dump occurs:
    Runtime Errors         CONNE_IMPORT_WRONG_COMP_TYPE
    Except.                CX_SY_IMPORT_MISMATCH_ERROR
    Date and Time          19.11.2008 15:14:08
    Short text
    Error when attempting to IMPORT object "TS_CHECK".
    What happened?
    Error in the ABAP Application Program
    The current ABAP program "SAPLSTD4" had to be terminated because it has
    come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
    Error analysis
    An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
    The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_IMPORT_MISMATCH_ERROR', was
    not caught in
    procedure "DB02_ORA_FILL_TS_CHECK__CRITOB" "(FUNCTION)", nor was it propagated
    by a RAISING clause.
    Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
    exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
    The reason for the exception is:
    When importing the object "TS_CHECK", the component no. 4 in the
    dataset has a different type from the corresponding component
    of the target object in the program "SAPLSTD4".
    The data type is "I" in the dataset, but "N" in the program.

    Only related SDN post is following, but solved by changing permissions for saposcol.
    Only related SAP Note is SAP Note Number 597743 "DB02: Poor entries for critical objects list", but not applicable for current SAP version.
    For me strange is that this issue occurs on the development system, but not on the acceptance and production system.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Gidion

    Received the solution from SAP Active Global Support:
    This error occurs due a corruption in the table MONI.
    For solving this issue you need to clean the records of this table via the following path :
    1. Call transaction ST03
    2. With GOTO -> Performance database -> Content of database
    3. Push button Delete data group
    4. Enter ID DB
    5. Continue
    6. Confirm the delete
    If you wish to backup the data before deleting the entry please follow the steps in the note 1000275 "DB02: history data backup procedure".

    Problems converting PDF to MS Word document.  I successfully converted 4 files and now subsequent files generate a "conversion failure" error when attempting to convert the file.  I have a large manuscript and I separated each chapter to assist with the conversion; like I said, first 4 parts no problem, then conversion failure.  I attempted to convert the entire document and same result.  I specifically purchased the export to Word feature.  Please assist.  I initially had to export the Word Perfect document into PDF and attempting to go from PDF to MS Word.

    Hi sdr2014,
    I'm sorry to hear your conversion process has stalled. It sounds as though the problem isn't specific to one file, as you've been unable to convert anything since the first four chapters converted successfully.
    So, let's try this:
    If you're converting via the ExportPDF website, please log out, clear the browser cache, and then log back in. If you're using Reader, please choose Help > Check for Updates to make sure that you have the most current version installed.
    Please let us know how it goes.

    Charles P.: Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
    Me: title of error is    Unable to Download
    Me: i dont see how that would be an adobe problem?
    Charles P.: I understand, but it appears that the reason for the download issue is because of the license error the license is related to the Adobe Digital editions software. I understand how this could be confusing but it's due to the authorization of the ADE software. Adobe would need to correct your account issue with the license
    Me: ok but i thought this was a free license from adobe??!!  this is just a digital editions reader, right??
    Charles P.: That is correct it is a free license but your account has to be associated with one license and yes the Digital edition is a ebook reader that our ebooks use for you to view

    Well, just for the halibut I tried opening the book again today and , GLORY BE!,  it worked.
    Guess it may have taken overnight for Adobe to OK my license to their free ADE software. Also works now using Bluefire app as the reader on my android phone, although it was a pain
    to get the book file in the right file folder for bluefire to see it.
    I hope that time also heels the issue with all other Error Getting License users.
