Graphite base station not working with my Intel Based Mac Mini and iPhone.

My Airport Express died after 2 years of use. I had to resort to plugging in my old but still functioning Graphite Airport base station. Since the set up assisant on my Mac mini does not work with the older base station, I used my G4 400 tower to set it up. I got it working and tested the connection. On to testing my iPhone. It sees the new network. Password is entered and the wifi icon shows full signal strength, but does not connect to the web. Next I try my Mac mini out on the new network and it too sees the network, but does not connect to the web. I double check the older G4 and the connection is still strong and fast. I shut the G4 down thinking that maybe the Graphite can only support one computer at a time, and the Mac mini and iPhone still can't connect to the web. I'm not sure what to do with this one. Is there a setting that I need to use? As far as security goes, the Graphite base station was set up with a WEP password. Any help would be great

I suggest using AirPort Admin Utility (version 4.2) to check the base station settings and change them, if necessary. (AirPort Admin Utility should be able to configure a Graphite base station from a computer running Mac OS X 10.4, even though AirPort Setup Assistant can't.)
In the Network pane of AirPort Admin Utility, please make sure that "Distribute IP addresses" and "Share a single IP address (using DHCP and NAT)" are checked, and that everything else is unchecked. I am assuming that the Graphite is the only router in your local network and that there are no computers connected via Ethernet.
The Access Control pane of AirPort Admin Utility should list either all of the relevant AirPort ID's or nothing. You can find the AirPort ID of an OS X computer by looking at System Preferences>Network>Show:AirPort>AirPort.
The Internet pane of AirPort Admin Utility should be set in accordance with your Internet provider's requirements. Most likely, it should be set to Connect Using:Ethernet and Configure:Using DHCP.
After verifying the settings, power down the computers, base station and cable or DSL modem for a few minutes, then start them up sequentially, leaving time for each to get fully up and running: first the modem, then the base station, and finally the computers.
The network preferences on the Mac Mini and the iPhone are also relevant. I assume that the preferences are unchanged from those that worked with the AirPort Express.
I hope this helps.

  • Time capsule base station not working with Airport Express

    Hi...
    I have a network setup using the airport base station hat is part of my (older) time capsule.  I also have an older Airport Express.
    My network is working fine...and looks like the first image below.  When I plug in the Airport Express and reset it...I get what you see on the second image.  The thing is...the airport utility is supporting the base station just fine prior to looking for the airport.  I presently have airport utility 6.3.2 and my airport base station has firmware 7.6.4. 
    Any help would be great....thanks!

    Your express is a G wireless model and not compatible with the N wireless TC.
    You can use it but only by using it with ethernet and setting it up as AP.. you also need to use 5.6 utility not v6.. apple removed support for G wireless devices from v6.
    LOL..

  • HT3546 Does the Airport Extreme Base Station not work with the OS X Lion?

    Ever since updated to OSX Lion can't get our airport station to work.  Is it too old and won't work with this upgrade so do we need a newer airport?

    Suggest that you download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion which should work with your older AirPort Extreme.
    You can keep both AirPort Utility 6.1 and 5.6 on your Mac and use the one that you want or need at the time.

  • I downloaded Firefox 4 and tried to launch it. The message said that Firefox will not work with this version of Mac OX. Please advise.

    I downloaded Firefox 4 and installed it. When I tried to launch it, a message came up saying that Firefox will not work with this version of Mac OSX. Now I have no Firefox. How can I get Firefox 3.6 back on my Mac? How can I make Firefox 4.0 work? Please advise.

    Thanks for the reply so quickly! Is the tenfourfox going to be be just as safe and as high of quality as the Firefox 4? Also since Mozilla's website says, "Firefox 3.6.x will be maintained with security and stability updates for a short amount of time. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to Firefox 4" does that mean if I go back to 3.6 there will be security and stability issues after a "short amount of time"?

  • Preference panes - cannot open because it doesn't work on an intel-based mac.

    Just updated to Mavericks and was checking out "System Preferences". Of the 37 items I have here 19 will not open. The error messages I get are alternately:
    "Could not load <....> preference pane"
    "You can’t open <....> preferences because it doesn’t work on an Intel-based Mac."
    (<....> = name of preference pane)
    Clicking on a pane will give one message, then, once "OK" has been clicked, clicking again on the same pane will give the second. There does not seem to be any correlation between when a particular message will occur, but it is always the same panes with the issue.

    I had the same issue after restoring a cloned drive with Mavericks.
    Repairing permissions didn't help.
    Show invisible files and go to /Applications - you will see a bunch of corrupt application starting with .0
    For example i had
    .0Messages
    .0System Preferences
    .0Time machine
    The wrong System Preferences was getting launched when calling it from the menu - the corrupt one.
    I deleted them and all is good.
    Also if this doesn't work, select Applications/System preferences and call Get Info from the File menu and make sure 32 bit mode is not activated.

  • You can't open Mail, Contacts & Calendars preferences because it doesn't work on an Intel-based Mac.

    I updated my Mac to Mavericks and after that, I can't open the Mail, Contacts and Calendar preferences.
    Every time I try, I get the following message:
    "You can’t open Mail, Contacts & Calendars preferences because it doesn’t work on an Intel-based Mac."
    I tried this workaround from the Mountain Lion thread (https://discussions.apple.com/message/21303574#21303574) but it didn't worked.
    Further I deleted all files in the Library Preferences folder, but it didn't helped also.
    Can anyone help me please?

    Hi Michael,
    I had the same problem. And I found a fix.
    I noticed that on a different system running Mavericks without any problems, the preference pane isn't called 'Mail, Contacts & Calendars' anymore, it's now called 'Internet accounts'. The fact that it's still called by the old name on your system, means it somehow wasn't replaced while updating to Mavericks.
    So the cure is pretty easy:
    On a different Mavericks system, go to /System/Library/PreferencePanes/ and copy the file InternetAccounts.prefPane. Take it to the system you're trying to fix, and paste the prefPane file in the same directory. Reboot, and it should all work fine. At least it did in my case.
    Cheers

  • Intel Based Mac Mini???????

    I am not trying 2 stir up any controversy here. I am a novice when it comes to "chipsets" but can someone tell me just what is so special about an "intel based mac mini". What would be the benefits if this were 2b true? Just what is a "Yonah chipset" ?
    I know some1 out there has either heard or even speculated about such a possible concept of an intell based mac mini. Please share your comments on this subject please.

    If such a thing exists it will be anounced next week at the convention. The advantage is that it likly will be faster then the current Mini. Changing out the processor basically means a total redesign of the entire insides of the box. Who knows they may even redesign the box too? Wait four days and we all will know more.
    Generally when you re-sign something you make it better (we hope) so the new ones (if they exist) migh be better. Next question is the price. Will they cost more or less or the same??? One more question. Will the Intel baed Mini replace the current mini r will they sell both lines?
