G4 PPC and wireless

Just installed 10.5 on a G4 ppc 1G and 512 Mb. Now, the wirelless does not work. My MAc says it doesent even see the wireless card? .... Help!

Even if you have installed the latest Keychain update, you may be facing this issue.
Some users have determined that an artifact left over from Mac OS X 10.4.x interferes with wireless connections after Mac OS X 10.5 is installed. As explained in this thread, the issue can be dealt with by finding and removing the AppleAirPort2.kext file from your Extensions folder, located here:
Macintosh HD:System:Library:Extensions
It's a simple fix, but one that you would never find on your own. And, it's pathetic that the installation or migrations scripts fail to remove this troublesome component.

HT4436 how do I set up an icloud account on my macbook pro with 10.6.8 - all it has is mobile me under internet and wireless????

help, how do I set up an icloud account on my macbook pro with 10.6.8 — all it has is "mobile me" under internet and wireless on my system doc????

You should check that your Mac meets the requirements for upgrading.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
The requirements for Mountain Lion are listed here:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

HT4759 I am trying to set up icloud on my Macbook. I was using the step by step guide on your site but when I open system perferences I do not have the icloud icon under internet and wireless. How do I get it?

I am trying to set up icloud on my macbook, I was using the step by step guide on the site but when I try go into system perfences in there is no icloud icon under internet and wireless. How do I get it?

This is presumably because you are running an earlier system than Lion. (Please always post your system when you have a question.)
The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)

If you are running Leopard on an Intel Mac you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to access the Mac App Store - it's available in the online Apple Store. However if you have a PPC Mac you cannot run Snow Leopard and cannot proceed further.

Will magic mouse and wireless keyboard work with my G4?

hello, i have a 1.25 Ghz ppc g4 imac and have leopard installed. i was wondering if i get a bluetooth dongle and a magic mouse and wireless keyboard would it work? would i also need a special kind of bluetooth adapter? i already have airport extreme, im going for the modern mac one wire (power cord) look. thank you.

According to this on the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB829LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA1Mg
the Magic Mouse requires at least OS 10.5.8 whcih you don't have.
The current wireless keyboard requires 10.6 which cannot run on a G4 iMac.
I would look to third-party solutions. I like Logitech input devices:
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/home
However, even the Logitech devicez may require a higher version of the Mac OS than you have. Be certain to check system requirements very closely before buying something.

Leopard and wireless

I'm having problems with Leopard and wireless. On a MacBook G4, the wireless signal dropped from 5 bars to 1 bar after the installation of Leopard. Same happened with an iMac G5 PPC. A MacBook Pro has no problems. Neither does a new iBook.
Tried the "safe boot" mode for the two problem machines with problems. No improvement.
Applecare noted "a few people" were having problems. The boards here show otherwise.
Has anyone found a solution to the weak signals of Airport cards when using Leopard?

I followed advice I found on macfixit.com and did two things. The 2nd one appears to have done the trick:
1) in System Prefs click on Network Prefs. Highlight AirPort in the left column and click on Advanced. Now delete all the wireless networks and re-add them. Select "Remember any network..." and hit OK. That seemed to help but did not eliminate my problem, which led to step 2:
2) Upgrade the firmware on your wireless router. I have a Belkin N1 and after 3 calls to customer support figured out which file I needed, disabled the router's firewall, and installed the new firmware. Have not had the problem now in about 12 hours.

How do i use my HP 4500 as USB and wireless?

Hi
I have my printer set up as wireless. This is fine for mobile devices like my tablets but only 50% of the time it works from my Windows 8.1 PC.
How do i change so it works for USB on PC and wireless for tablet etc?
I tried to resinstall set up cd as USB connection but everytime i keep getting errors and being asked to reinstall disk. It didnt work, so i set it back to wireless only
Please help asap!
Many thanks

Welcome to the HP Community @Sav1 ,
I understand you are looking to connect your Windows 8.1 computer to your Envy 4500 via USB connection, and keep the printer on the wireless network for your other devices. This method should work for you however, you may have better luck downloading and installing the printer for the USB connection through the download on our website opposed to using the installation disk.
Click here for the drivers, and run through the USB installation set up. Remember to only plug in the USB cable when the install asks you to connect it: HP Support - Software and Driver Downloads
If you run in to any issues or errors, let me know what they are saying exactly and I will do my best to help you through them!
Good luck

Wired and Wireless sometimes work (mostly not) after update.

So I have an issue with my network connection. It sometimes works, sometimes doesn't (mostly doesn't). This is for both wired and wireless. This started to happen a couple of days ago after an update. I had not updated for about a month prior. Prior to the update I used WICD and it worked just fine with no problems. I have no exotic hardware (ipw2200 using its firmware, dell xps gen2 notebook) and I set up everything about 6 months ago based on all the wikis. I have a dlink dir-825 router. Both wired and wireless connections work in windows every boot so it's not hardware.
I've included as much info as possible... sorry for the length.

# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are

# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
MODULES=""
CRYPTO_MODULES="aes_generic aes_i586 dm_crypt xts"
# BINARIES
# This setting includes, into the CPIO image, and additional
# binaries a given user may wish. This is run first, so may
# be used to override the actual binaries used in a given hook.
# (Existing files are NOT overwritten is already added)
# BINARIES are dependancy parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=""
# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in anyway. This is useful for config files.
# Some users may wish to include modprobe.conf for custom module options,

# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the

# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'modload' may be used in place of 'udev', but is not recommended
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
# This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
# No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS="base"
# This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
# work as a sane default
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems"
# This is identical to the above, except the old ide subsystem is
# used for IDE devices instead of the new pata subsystem.
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide scsi sata filesystems"
# This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
# No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS="base udev pata scsi sata usb filesystems"
# This setup assembles an pata raid array with an encrypted root FS.
# Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H raid' for more information on raid devices.
# HOOKS="base udev pata raid encrypt filesystems"
# This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
# HOOKS="base udev usb lvm2 filesystems"

Was able to boot this weekend and did an update which updated the kernel. Rebooted and there was no network. Rebooted again and no network... rebooted again and... had network!? I tried changing wicd to use dhclient only and did the triple reboot test again and it didn't change anything... randomly working network... same with dhcpcd.
So it appears to be a dhcp timeout issue however it makes no sense because before the update a couple weeks ago it was working every time with no hiccup. Am I not providing enough information that will aid in anyone helping me figure this out?

I have no mouse or keyboard. I have tried USB and wireless. Help?

How can I get back control of my commuter? Cursor floats with mouse, but no clicking. I have used USB and wireless mouses and keyboards. Keyboard will "wake" but no other function . 2011 iMac 27. what can I do?

These are the instructions:

Where does the problem occur? What happens?
Ciao,

New mac mini and wireless keyboard

how do I set up a new mac mini and wireless keyboard at the same time?

Since the Mac Mini does not come with a Monitor, Keyboard or Mouse those are needed when setting up a Mac Mini. I don't know what brand wireless KB you have or if that even matters.
I have an Apple wireless keyboard (bluetooth), Apple magic trackpad (bluetooth), and Dell DVI monitor. When I initially booted my new Mac Mini, the screen showed it searching for bluetooth devices. It found the keyboard first and then a few seconds later, the mouse. So, I had all devices to finish setup of the Mini.

Been losing connection for magic mouse and wireless keyboard

When I have my MBP running Mavericks in clamshell mode, I lose connections to both magic mouse and apple wireless keyboard in clamshell mode. I've tried all the PRAM SCM, aluminum foil and paper tricks. What I then did was test what happens when I leave the MBP open rather than in clamshell mode and it appears to avoid losing connection, at least that is what I've concluded with Mavericks for now..... anyone else able to replicate this? Having to leave the MBP open is not ideal.

Barry, thanks, still not working. I've tried every thing I can think of or have read, what I'm concluding is that there is either a problem with Mavericks or something has changed on how bluetooth works in Mavericks. Did not have this problem for the last 4 years. I can reproduce the problem when I close the laptop. I had the Bluetooth and wireless card checked out and replaced about 3 weeks ago. Problem has continued.

Magic Mouse and Wireless Keyboard: Should charge off iMac

Apple, you've been shipping Bluetooth peripherals that require disposable batteries for years. It's time to design long-lasting rechargeable batteries into these devices.
Years ago I open-lettered the idea of designing Apple's BT devices with built-in rechargeable batteries. The basic idea consists of a USB cable that is used periodically to connect to the CPU and to the devices. The devices would have a red and green light that become visible when depleted or charged respectively. When the devices require a charge, the USB cable is connected to the iMac and then to the device. The USB cable is put away once the green light indicates a full charge.
No visual clutter, no batteries to dump into the landfill.
While I'm not a rabid environmentalist, the fact that Apple is speaking openly about it's accomplishments in this area (http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/environment.html), while at the same time shipping a Mac that requires disposable batteries is a bit of a letdown to this longtime Mac buyer (since 1986).
Throwaway batteries are unnecessary.
The technology exists to include a long life built-in rechargeable battery. A USB charging cable, used as described above, would not clutter Apple's design intentions for the new iMacs. Instead, it would strengthen Apple's Green Design goals.
Apple has had years to noodle out such a feature. In my opinion, there's no excuse for this oversight.

Hi Chillspike. In response to your comment, +"Is one or two wires (keyboard & mouse) too much clutter for people?..."+
Not all of us have a lot of computer space. My iMac is on a small table along with my TV, cable box, DVD player, etc. I have a rats nest of wires in the back, including my internet receiver, USBs for my iPod, wireless keyboard, and wireless trackball, a backup hard drive, and my printer (I have to switch something else out in order to plug it in). I might sit on the edge of my bed and put the keyboard in my lap, although I usually stretch out in bed a few feet away to work.
I had a wired keyboard and trackball a while ago, and nearly pulled the computer off the table a couple of times as I was trying to get settled in! So going wireless is as much a matter of practicality for some of us, as your preference for hard wiring is for you. If you prefer being wired, I hope someone comes up with a product that meets your needs - and maybe by the time they do they will have the "bugs" worked out of this new one.

External hard drive for both a PPC and Intel Mac?

I have 2 LaCie Hard Drives (500GB & 750GB) that I'd like to use for backing up my 2 laptops and for storing photo and music files.
When I got the MacBook Pro, I partitioned the 500GB drive into 3 volumes and used SuperDuper! to make "bootable" copies of the MBP on one volume, theiBook on one volume, and put photo files on the third. I don't know/can't remember how I dealt with the directions below from Disk Utility and I fear I may have done the impossible or at least done the wrong thing.
"If you will use a volume as a Mac OS X startup disk, click Options and choose the appropriate partition scheme. To use a volume to start up an Intel-based Mac, choose the GUID partition scheme. To use a volume to start up a PowerPC-based Mac, choose the Apple partition scheme."
As I ask these questions, I find myself getting tongue-tied so please bear with me and read on...
#1 - Is it *even possible* to do what I want and have the bootable copies of both of these laptops on the same HD since one is PPC and the other Intel? If the answer if yes, it's OK then the rest of this is moot.
#2 - I can easily delete one or the other laptop backup from the 500 LaCie and put it on the virgin 750 and partiton it - problem is, is there a way to know how I partitioned the 500 HD so I won't have to redo it -I don't want to have to recopy the thousands of photo files already on the HD. If I knew how it was partitioned - Intel or PPC - I could just delete the appropriate laptop and move it to the other LaCie, assuming I have to.
#3 - And, is it possible to use a drive that has been partitioned for PPC or Intel with the other type computer - will I be able to access the jpg photo files from both the MBP and my G4 both of which are Tiger no matter which way the HD is partitioned? Now I as able to do this, but as I said, I don't remember which way I partitioned the HD - all I remember is that I did choose to include OS 9 drivers since I still use Classic and OS 9 on the G4. ( I have yet another LaCie that I use exclusively to back up my G4 and it is not part of this issue)
Mrs H

So "To use a volume to start up a PowerPC-based Mac, choose the Apple partition scheme." really means it will work for my Intel MBP too?
Yes.
Is there a way to tell if that is what I already choose?
Select the existing drive in the Disk Utility and find the Partition Map Scheme text at the bottom of the window.

How to set up WRT54GS so the wired and wireless connections both work?

I have a DSL line in to a Motorola modem.
The modem is connected to the WRT54GS with an ethernet cable.
When I connect my computers directly into the WRT54GS with an ethernet cable (there are four connection spots at the back of the box), I cannot go to the internet. I have 3 computers plugged in, but none of them connect via Ethernet..
Is there a setting on the router so that I can use the router for both wired and wireless connectivity?
Added info: I tried to connect directly from the computer to the modem, but again, got no connectivity. When I "chatted" with ATT, they told me the modem is set to "bridge", and that I could connect only one device. I don't want to change this setting because I want to use the router for the wireless capability. Besides which, I have more than one computer to connect to the internet.
How come I cannot just plug in and go?
My firmware version is v2.07.1.
I don't know how to find out what hardware version I have.
Other info is "DirectEthernet Connection, Speed: 100.0 Mbps, Signal Strength: Excellent, Status: Connected"
Also "1394 Connection 3, Speed: 400.0 Mbps, Status: Connected"
I don't know what that's for, but thought it might prove useful to those of you who are knowledgeable about such things.
Wireless is ok, but if I'm sitting right next to the router, I'd like to connect with Ethernet and take advantage of the better speed, etc.
Thanks in advance.

How to set up an integrated wired and wireless network

I have an iMac 17" 1GHz connected to a ethernet hub which in turn is connected to a DSL modem and from there to my ISP. I also have a MacBook Pro wirelessly connected to an AirPort Express; the AE is connected to the same ethernet hub through its ethernet port.
I can connect to the Internet wirelesly using the MacBook Pro, but I can not seem to connect to the iMac.
How can I keep the iMac wired and the MacBook Pro wireless, but see both on a network? The AE instructions don't seem to have an example for this kind of network.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,

Martin,
As Frank said, you'll need a router with DHCP and NAT abilities (nearly all have this) connected to the modem.
But just in case your "ethernet hub" is actually a router, just re-configure the AE not to distribute IP addresses - AirPort Admin Utility - Network tab. Try that and let us know.
For minimal clutter, if you were DSL broadband instead of cable, you could sell the modem, sell the ethernet router, sell the Airport Express and buy a single Ethernet and Wireless DSL modem router - for less than the price of the AE. Some people like to keep the modem separate to make upgrades to the modem cheaper. My solution is to buy a decent modem in the first place, ie make sure it has ADSL2+. Almost all modem/routers do this now, even my ancient ones have firmware upgrades to offer this.
For minimal spend, you can pick up an Ethernet router for about $30. Just replace your ethernet hub with it.

Wired and wireless computers on the same network?

Here’s the scenario: I’ve got Verizon FIOS which comes with a modem with four Ethernet ports. I have an Airport Extreme plugged into the modem. There are six macs in the house (three desktops and three laptops) and they can all connect wirelessly although the signal fades in the living room and in my son’s room. I decided to run an Ethernet cable from the modem to the G5 that is in the living room and another one to my son’s room. Everything works fine but the “wired” computers are now no longer on the same network.
(At first I thought it was neat: if I was near the G5 and the signal from the Airport Extreme was weak, I could just hop onto the G5’s network (which has “Internet sharing” via airport enabled) but it’s become a nuisance because we always seem to be needing to change from one network to another: The computer connected to the printers is on Airport Extreme so I can’t print from the G5 unless I change the settings; if we’re in the bedroom connected to the Internet via the AirPort Extreme, we can’t access our iTunes music from the G5 without switching networks.)
I don’t know if there is a solution but it seems there should be.
I’d like to have two computers hard-wired and have all of them be part of the same home network. Is that possible?

The solution is simple. Configure the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) so that the option to distribute IP addresses is DISABLED.
This will disable the AEBS's DHCP server and NAT. The net effect will be that anything connected to the AEBS's WAN port (anything connected to Verizon's router's LAN ports like your Ethernet computers) on the same subnet as the AEBS's LAN and wireless clients.
