G5 imac not seeing any networks

Hi -
I just installed an Airport Extreme card in my 20" 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 and it's not seeing anything. Not my home Airport Express network and none of the other networks that abound on my block.
The computer itself recognizes the card, it just has nothing to do at this point.
Searching on old posts here, people have mentioned a Power G5 problem, but the info is kind of old and so far I haven't gotten the scoop yet on what might be wrong.

...Thinking that the antenna is not properly installed. Will try again...

  • Airport Not Seeing Any Networks

    *After waking the PowerBook from overnight Sleep mode this morning, my Airport isn't working. No reception of mine or any other WiFi networks in my building (there are typically 4 or 5 of my neighbors' wireless networks displayed when I check using Internet Connection). After numerous re-starts, forced re-starts, re-boots and Disk Utility passes, nothing. I re-set my Airport Express, nothing. I re-seated my internal Airport card and checked the antenna connector, still nothing. Do Airport cards eventually just quit working? Anyone here have any other ideas or suggestions? Thanks, Jd*

    *Back from the Apple Store and a meeting with a very competent genius. The card works and I was able to access the Internet there. Returned home and I was very optimistic and ready to get back to normal. I restarted the computer and had the same problem, not seeing ANY WiFi networks, including my Airport Express or any of my neighbors' networks. I took the computer to another building in my complex and was able to join onto one of the WiFi networks there, so that tells me that there may be outside influences at work here. I have just re-installed OSX to make a clean start to see if that would make a difference, again nothing. My next move is to check with one of my neighbors to see if they are having the same problem. Otherwise, it's very strange and I'm stumped. I'm open to any other ideas and suggestions, if anyone here has any. Thanks, JD*

  • IPad 2 not seeing any networks

    Hi,
    My iPad 2 recently stopped seeing any available networks.  At the time it happened, I was running iOS 7.  When I try to look for available networks, none come up.  When I search for my network by name, I get a message saying it could not find it.  I have two MacBook Airs, two iPhones, and an iPad mini that are all seeing my network (and a few of my neighbors' as well) and having no issues connecting.
    My first step to try and fix this was to reset the network settings.  No dice.  Then I tried updating to iOS 8.1.1.  No dice again.  I've also backed up and reset the iPad to factory settings.  Still nothing. 
    Has anyone else had a similar issue?  I'm worried it is a hardware issue and my WiFi might be fried.
    Thanks for any insight.

    Try the following:
    1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again
    2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    3. Reset iPad; hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo

  • XP not seeing any network cards

    I have XP running through Bootcamp but am not able to see a network card. I do not seem to be able to find any drivers to use. Any suggestions?

    Stefan,
    thanks for your response......... not looking for excuses but.... I am new to this 'Mac World' and I did not think for one minute that the OSX DVD would have anything to do with MS Windows once it was up and running!!!!!!
    Unfortunately I'm away from my Leopard disk until tuesday but it sounds like my problem will be solved.....
    Thanks very much,

  • My iPad does not see any network and i cannot get to place to enter manually IP address etc.

    I have several apple products connected on home wi-fi network. On my ipad, it does not even see the network.  I would put IP etc in manually but I cannot get to that page to do it.  Where is it? 

    Settings>WiFi>Other. Enter your network name and password.
    Have you tried .... Settings>WiFi>Tap your network name>Tap the blue arrow on the right>Forget this network. Restart your iPad then go back to the WiFi settings and try again?

  • Airport Extreme card does not see any networks...help!

    I have a home network that is working fine - 2 linksys routers with WDS set up... it all works great - an Ibook g4 running 10.3 and has an Airport Extreme card connects flawlessly everyday. As does an old G4 powerbook with an old airport card.
    however, I have this dual g4 with 10.4.3 running, and a recently-installed airport extreme card.
    When I turn airport "on" it never sees our network. And it doesn't see my neighbors' networks, either, which are also always visible.
    I can, howevr, connect via ethernet to the router that is somewhat nearby. that networking is fine...I can get on wired, but not wirelessly.
    I've installed the 2005-1 update, and have run Software Update as well to see if there are any other patches/updates necesary. so as far as I can tell, I am up to date.
    system profiler says:
    Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme
    Wireless Card Locale: USA
    Wireless Card Firmware Version: 404.2 (3.90.34.0.p16)
    Current Wireless Network: wireless network not available
    and in the extensions section for the airport, it says:
    Version: 4.0.4

    I am at a loss. Is there anything else I can do before writing off the card as a bad card - or perhaps the logic board is faulty?
    I hope there is a simple solution to this. I appreciate your expert help.

    Go back and recheck the Airport Extreme card installation. Make sure you plugged the connector for the internal Airport antenna into its socket on the Airport Extreme card itself - and make sure the plug is fully seated into its socket (none of the metal sleave should be showing).

    If no change after restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem with the wireless card or with something else.

  • Satelite A30 does not see any other network devices in WLan

    I recently bought a Toshiba Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card, i've installed it and managed to get it to recognise my broadband but it does not see any other network devices. I was not supplied with any drivers or software to operate the card (I bought it from a proper dealer). Can you recommend downloads that would run this card?
    I have a Satelite A30 laptop 1gb ram 60GB HDD.
    Also large files sometimes stop transfering (hangs)when using my USB connection. The usb controller is using microsoft driver 5.1.2600.0 dated 1 june 2002.
    Is this a driver problem?

    Hi
    If the WLan card is properly installed so you have only not configured you settings.
    I dont know which devices in the broadband you mean but usually if you want to communicate or transfer files between notebooks through the WLan so all computers must be in the same domain or workgroup.
    I cannot give you a proper answer but only a suggestion. I have red that sometimes a lower power could be responsible for such issue. Try to disable the option Power safe in the USB root hub properties in the device manager.

  • Windows did not detect any networking hardware iMac 27' 2013 model

  • Powerbook does not see home network

    Hi, my powerbook has simply stopped seeing ANY networks in my apartment. I have an iMac G5 and a Desktop G4 and they both see my airport express and my neighbors networks no problem. I took the laptop into a store the other day and it saw the store's network immediately and worked fine - i took laptop home and it worked for about 5 mins before shutting off again. Very odd. Can anyone help? All three machines are running 10.4.3
    Many thanks,
    Carl

    Can't test this out here at home, but I did some searching and found:
    http://guides.macrumors.com/NetworkingWindows_with_Mac_OSX
    as well as:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1359723&tstart=0
    The main thing what seems to be the case here is that you need to identify on your Mac what the Windows workgroup name is you use.
    You do this as follow:
    System Preferences (under the Apple icon) -> select the network adapter you use to connect to your network, I will assume here because its a laptop that you use wireless, so make sure "Airport" is selected. At the bottom you will also see a small lock (left-bottom corner), make sure it is unlocked and if not click on it to unlock it. Now click on "Advanced" to go to the advanced configuration of your Airport and there click on the WINS tab. For WorkGroup, enter the Workgroup name of your home network. If you don't know what it is, then on your Windows computer right-click on "My computer", click on "Properties" and then go to the "Computer Name" tab. It will tell you there.
    So enter that workgroup name on the Mac, click on OK and then on "Apply". Wait for a little while and then in the Finder sidebar (on the left), under Shared you should see your Windows PCs appear.
    If you do not see the Shared in the sidebar, go to the Preferences of the Finder (Finder -> Preferences), go the the Sidebar pane and make sure "Connected Servers" and "Bonjour" are selected.
    If it works then I would suggest you go and also do this for your Ethernet network adapter as the WINS setting would not be filled in there yet, this will ensure that when you connect your MPB using wired that you will still have the Windows stuff.
    Hope this helps, sadly not something I can test here so I hope that my information is accurate.

  • Apple TV suddenly not seeing my network

    Hi,
    I received Apple TV as a gift about four weeks ago. So far, it's worked great. Tonight I turned on the TV, fired up ATV, but it can't see my network! Not only that, it can't see any of the other networks on my building. I'm pretty sure my network is not the issue, as my iMac, my MacBook, and my iPhone are all surfing my wifi network (can you tell I'm a loyal Apple customer yet? So please, Apple tech guys, solve my issue!).
    If it's not my network, it must be the ATV, no? Not only can it not see my network, but as I said above, it can't see any networks (I live in an apartment building, so there's always about a dozen networks visible - manhattan, Oy vey!)
    So what's the deal? I just read another thread where a bunch of people are complaining about their erratic ATVs. I sure hope Apple didn't put out a not-ready-for-primetime product here. That would be incredibly cruel, as I've been enjoying the **** out of it, and it'd be a shame for my new toy to be taken away so suddenly.
    Any ideas?

    Same problem here. My Apple TV is only a week old. It was working fine when I left for work last night, but when I came home this morning, no picture. The light was on, I could hear the sound it makes when you moving through the menu, but that was it. I rebooted it by unplugging it and plugging it back in and the picture came back fine, but the WIFI is dead. Every other Mac and iDevice in my house is able to see and connect to my Airport Extreme just fine, and they are also able to see several other local WIFI networks that the Apple TV also used to be able to see. Now the Apple TV is blind to all WIFI. I tried a manual entering the network name, still nothing. I also tried rebooting the Airport Extreme. It works fine connected via ethernet, but it's not practical for me to have an ethernet cable stung across the living room, so I guess I'll be calling Apple this morning to sort it out.

  • Wirelss drops out - can no longer see any networks

    Hi all, I have searched for other threads with similar problems but I could not find one exactly like mine.
    Recently I have had problems where I have been surfing on firefox, and then all of a sudden it has automatically switched to "Work Offline". I then check my airport status and it is not connected to my network. When I turn airport off, and then on again, it then cannot see any network at all. I have to restart my computer.
    Any ideas?

  • Windows did not detect any networking hardware, Windows 7, New Hard Drive

    Message "Windows did not detect any networking hardware"
    Satellite P505 S8980 Windows 7 Home Premium.
    I replaced the Toshiba 500 GB HD with 500 GB Seagate.
    Device Manager icon for any device with yellow exclamation mark,
    Click on "Update Driver".  Lan eNet details as follows:
    Antheo - R8132 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20)
    Browse to the folder where the setup program has the driver...
    Message: "The best driver software is already installed."
    (But the yellow exclamation mark still harasses me.)
    --- Go to "Setup new connection" ---
    "Choose a connection option"
    Click on "Connect to the Internet"
    Response: "Windows did not detect networking hardware"
    As near as I can tell, that translates from error 0x8E5E0247
    I have this same error on other yellow exclamation marks respective of what kind of device it is.
    => To test my sanity, I put the old hard drive (same size) back in and except for the impact of slowness due to error retries, everything works okay.
    Note:
    Same issue (hardware not detected) for Video adapter and Audio.
    I bought new USB Wireless adapter to test, and the driver installed but not activated because "not digitally signed", and that same issue fits all the above hardware.  I down loaded them from Toshiba, and they are confirmed installed, but not accepted with digitally signed.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled with same results.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I'm discovering I am not as well as I thought... running on the  AF hard drive which was built with a copy drive from old format drive which was the product of system recovery disc set.
    Review for context: Advanced Function HDD
    Scenario that exposes harm caused by cloning data from 4K blocks drive to 512 bytes blocked drive (AF)
    Toshiba supplied Windows-7 System Restore Discs: to factory state
    Then I built the Windows-7 Repair  Disc... used later.
    Hard drive was replaced when it caused SMART warning at every system boot.
    Acronis was only utility that quickly detected problem (3 sectors had permanent read errors.) Active@Disk Image and Power Quest Drive Image (Ghost) did not detect the issue.
    I tried Seagate 500 GB and Western digital 500 GB HDD drives as copy target.
    That new drive would not boot: "Required source not found"
    Booted My newly created Windows-7 repair disc, and used to to fix startup.
    See images.
    That worked and then the ST9500423AS disc booted.
    Now... next day I discovered Window Update is not working.
    I get message:
    Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You need to restart your computer.
    I ran Microsoft Fixit for updates.  It says it fixed two items.
    I still have the problem.
    The service shows "started"
    Control Panel/ ACTION Center/ Maintenance/ Check for Updates
     "No action needed"
     "Windows Update does not require any action"
    I checked  Update History...
    ... It is empty, else window is vacant... blank.
    Soooo..... for a sanity check, I swap out hard drive; go back to the old format (which is the one I copied).
    It works!  7 updates to install, including SP1... but I did NOT install them.
    Switch back to the AF drive... Update doesn't work. I am broke again.
    Is this another strange problem caused by the Advance Format issue?
    What to do?
    By the way... I did install an Intel storage Matrix driver  update, but I do not have RAID chip, so that driver is not for me... unless I missed out on something.

  • Not seeing any apps from ipod using windows 8

    I am tying to backup my ipod into itunes and when it says that it it synced I do not see any of my apps listed in itunes. I still see everything on my ipod.

    Go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset Network Settings. You'll have to reenter your network login info, but it should work after that.
