G4 OS x  10.4.11 connecting to web via mifi

After being without a landline for 2 weeks because of hurricane Irene, we finally decided to access the web by purchasing a mifi device. It is fantastic with our laptops, we are so thrilled to get out of the dinosaur era of dial-up!!!!!!!!!!!!!  However, we still need to figure out how to connect our older G4, I would really appreciate help on figuring this out.   ps I am not a computer wiz.    THANKS

Hi cindy, & welcome to the forums!
Which brand/model is it? What is it connected to now?
Do the other ones have some Manager installed?
Does this apply?

  • Mac pro no longer connects to web via internet sharing

    My Mac Pro does not have an airport card so I have often used a PowerBook G4 or MacBook Pro to share a wireless internet connection via ethernet. A few months ago this method began failing but I was able to share a connection via firewire. Now I am not able to do either.
    I have attempted to use both the mbp and the pbg4 to no avail using both ethernet and firewire for days, employing various troubleshooting methods including zapping PRAM, repairing permissions, and dumping network cache. I've tried static IP addresses and manual setups. The mac pro shows that it is connected to a network and displays all the proper IP information but is unable to load a web page and the diagnostics window shows an ISP, server, and internet failure regardless of any changes I make to network settings on it or the mbp/pbg4. Meanwhile, the laptops are connected to the internet just fine and are able to share a connection with each other.
    What can I do to make my tower susceptible to internet sharing once again?

    Your local LAN runs through your router.
    All your ethernet  ports, and your modem and router, should be behind and filtered from excess current. That means a UPS generally. And run input line thru UPS (coax) first, then run RJ45 back through UPS again (there can still be excess surge or current on the line).
    Modems and routers can be compromised by surge outage or storm. So can ethernet  ports.
    You have two ethernet ports and you tried with both also.
    What you did not do that I would have added is SMC Reset / Reset NVRAM/PRAM.
    This is what I have had for the last year, very nice and stronger  signals thruout the house.

  • IPhone no longer connects to iTunes via Wifi

    On July 1,12 my iTunes did an automatic update.  After the computer restarting and I entered iTunes and the following messages appeared:
    Message 1: Must reinstall itunes to connect to ipod or mobile devices.
    Message 2: CD/DVD folder must be located in itunes folder in order to use with itunes
    I have 2 iphones (both 4s, bought at same time, both running iOS 5.1.1)and one will briefly connect to itunes via Wifi (I will identify this one as iphone1) but the other one will not (I will identify this one as iphone2).  I have a PC with Windows 7.
    When iphone1 is connected to itunes via wifi is disconnects randomly.  Under: Summary > Version, it has the message: Connect this iphone using a USB cable in order to update or restore its software.  When I have it connected with the USB cable, there are no problems. The settings selected under: Summary > Options > are: Open iTunes when this iphone is connected, Sync with this iphone over Wi-Fi,  & Manually manage music and videos.  The Setting under Backup > Back up to this computer (where it backs up to; I do not know)
    iphone2 does not connect via Wifi but used to.  It connects without issues with the USB. The Settings in iTunes > Summary are the same as iphone2 except that iphone2 is set as Backup > Back up to iCloud.
    My iphone2 is my primary device.  I use it exclusively; for music, taking photos, syncing photos to my Photo Stream folder on my PC, etc.  The iphone1 is my spouse's secondary phone, so its not used as often (ie: only has 4 songs downloaded, used to take the odd picture, has a mirror image of apps from iphone2).
    I searched Apple Support and tried the following solutions that didn't solve this problem:
    How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows (support.apple.com/kb/TS1567) &
    Set the Apple Mobile Device Service Startup type to Automatic
    I have not done this: Remove and reinstall iTunes and AMDS. I did goto the: iTunes for Windows: Device Connectivity Tests > iOS > iPhone - iTunes Troubleshooting Assistantand into iTunes > Help > Run Diagnostics.  The results were: All tests passed. (My iphone2 was plugged in with USB. The iphone1 was connected via WiFi.)
    What do I do now?  Do I need to remove and reinstall iTunes? and if so will I lose all my itunes info (videos, music, apps, settings) or will it just show up after I install iTunes?

    Hi Mitch,
    It sounds like you have already done many of the steps, but I would like you to look at this article -
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

    and go over any that you may have missed.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Unable to connect to Internet via Airport Express - 'cannot contact server'

    I'm unable to connect to the internet via my Airport Express. I'm using OS 10.3.9, and had the same setup with no problems at a previous address, but with a different modem from the same ISP.
    My AE is connected - the light is green - and my mac is connected to the network in Internet Connect. But when I open Safari I get an 'unable to contact server' message.
    I've tried rebooting everything (modem, AE, Mac), and leaving modem/AE off for several minutes. Also reset the AE, but to no avail.
    The connection works fine via Ethernet cable.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks, I checked out that advice doc (106798), but could not connect to the address (http://17.149.160.49) which is given to test if it's a DNS issue. My ISP says I shouldn't need DNS settings.
    The service is PPPoE, and I went into Airport Admin Utility to check if the Airport was configured for this. Under Configure/Internet, I found it was set to 'Ethernet', so changed it to PPPoE. Then when I restarted I got connection status in the bar (and good Airport signal), but status flipped between 'looking for PPPoE host' and 'negotiating PPPoE host', sometimes sticking on one or the other each time I tried rebooting all gear.
    Any other ideas?

    I bought a HP Color Laserjet PRO MFP M177FW  today and I set up it. It can print and scan over wireless network. However, It cannot connect to web services correctly. I set the DNS numbers with google DNS addresses. I changed its IP address with manually. The IP address is unique. Normally It doesn't enable/remove webservices. But when I restart it, it can do for few minutes. It can take an e-mail address but It doesn't print any information sheet. When I try to print a sheet It says "Connection Problem" at first few minutes and later it says "Connecting"and it waits, there is no error message. What am I suppossed to do? Please help me.

  • My macbook pro cannot connect to internet via wifi

    I have a Macbook Pro 2010 OS X 10.8.3.  I cannot connect to internet via wifi (Air por).  My Macbook Pro does not recognize my network and when I select it from the list of network it asks for my network password.  when I type in my password a dialog box gives me timeout error.  Please could anyone help me.  I am using ethernet for my connection at the moment.  Do I need to reset my macbookpro?  if yes, what will happen to my applications and operating system (mountain lion)?

    When you use the Airport utility what happens?
    What is in the System Preferences control panel for Network settings?

    Wi-Fi Setup Considerations
    Things to consider before you begin
    Start with a plan for the physical layout. Depending on whether you have an existing Wi-Fi network, or if you are using your AirPort Express as a standalone Wi-Fi device, there are several options available for you to choose from.
    When using Ethernet, Cat6 cable is recommended.
    The layout you choose should take into account environmental factors such as physical access, location, range, radio frequency interference, etc.
    You will need to consider what AirPort Utility settings to adopt.
    You will need to know whether you are using an AirPort Express (802.11b/g) or an AirPort Express (802.11a/b/g/n).
    If you will be using more than one Wi-Fi base station, it may be helpful to read the article Extending the range of your wireless network by adding additional Wi-Fi base stations.

  • I cannot find the 'WPA passphrase' to connect my printer via wireless and cannot find it in Airport utility (MAC says it cannot find any open airports)

    MAC OS X 10.6.3 - desktop Mac
    I browsed similar questions and saw that someone recommended going to the Airport Utility and then selecting manual set up or something- anyways, it could not find any airports. I have brought my printer from my house as my BF's has died - this is the first time it's asked for a WPA passphrase. We tried a very long series of capital letters and numbers as well as the password for the internet and both times the printer said "invalid passphrase"..... ......

    Airport Utility is for administration of genuine Apple Base Stations. If you have a different Brand, Airport Utility can do nothing for you.
    I think they're using ethernet.
    To connect a Printer via Ethernet, no password is needed.
    We already tried the password for the internet and that did not work...
    If a password is required to connect to the Internet, then WiFi is likley being used, and that WiFi password is the one needed for the Printer connect wirelessly as well.
    What make&model Printer? Is it indeed a Wireless Printer? Most connect via USB, but that would force it to use a specific computer to assist in printing.

    Hi Tomiwa,
    You cannot print from the iPad to that printer. AirPrint and Bluetooth are completely different.
    There may be apps you can buy that will enable using that printer, but that is not an ideal solution.
    That particular printer has had many bad reviews, and is unreasonably expensive for its features. Considering that you just bought the printer, as well as its lack of AirPrint, I suggest you return it and buy a printer that supports AirPrint.

    Is it possible to recover my data from iCloud backup without working wifi? I have as many other upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2 with the result that the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth no longer works. However, i can connect to iTunes via cable but there is wrong version of backup.

    Answer is no.
    If you want the iCloud backup you have to have n internet connection, thus WiFi.
    The not working WiFi has happened with quite a number of users.
    It is not exactly clear what is the cause but there are suggestions to clear it up:
    Some people have had success by removing an apostrophe from the iPhone name. If your iPhone is called something like “John’s iPhone” then this might work. Go to Settings > General > About > Name and change it to something with no apostrophe.
    Some people have reported success by putting the iPhone into Airplane mode and then going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings, but the problem may return.
    You could also try going to Settings > Control Center and disable Access on Lock Screen then turn your iPhone off and on again.
    Make sure that your router firmware is up to date.
    Try backing up your iPhone and then restoring it. Check how to factory reset an iPhone for details.
    If nothing is working for you, try contacting Apple or take your iPhone into an Apple Store.
    Succes, Lex

  • My macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

    my macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

    This can be caused by a number of issues.
    Was everything working and then suddenly stopped??
    Or is this a new clean setup and has never worked.
    Do you have a cable modem which is not a router and the TC setup in bridge? That will cause it. The TC must be in router mode, ie dhcp and nat.
    Check the IP the MBP gets including dns and gateway..
    Then check the ipad/iphone.. post what IP dns and gateway (router in applespeak) they get.

    Hi @vode5,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I undestand that you are getting a connection error message when trying to use the apps on the front panel of your Photosmart 6520 printer.
    Please set a manual IP address and manual DNS servers for the printer. I have included a link to another post with the steps, including screen shots, on how to do this. Please don’t worry that the screen shots show a Photosmart 7510 printer, the steps are the same.

  • Laserjet Color MFP M276nw Cannot connect to Web Services, tried every suggestion on forum

    I've tried every suggestion possible on the forum. I opened up all ports suggested by HP support on my Belkin wireless N600 router. Changed DMZ to IP address on printer. We even directly wired ethernet to printer, still cannot connect to Web Services. Now I have to wait till April 4 for a engineer to call me back. Everything else is working fine. I can print wirelessly from my laptop & smartphone. Just cannot access Web Services, oh & firmware is up to date on printer & router. We changed DNS settings to 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    It sounds like you have done everything to connect the web services.  Web services will not connect if you are on a guest network but if you are connected via ethernet it should be on the right band.  What is the printer's IP address? Sometimes it can be too high. Is this for a company that has a proxy on the network?  How far away is the printer from the router?  Are there any metal shelves, wireless devices or anything else near the printer or between the printer and the router?  Check that the router is on Channel 11. 
    --Printer Does Not Connect To Web Services--
    Have you heard back from the engineer?  I am anxious to know how it went.  I am happy to help if they don't, otherwise keep me posted on what happens.  I possibly have one more step for you. 
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
    When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.
