Help needed connecting iMac and PowerBook to Blueyonder cable boradband

I'm not too knowlegeable aboout computers, so please be gentle with me!
I have had broadband supplied by Blueyonder (cable) for some time with no problems.
I have now bought a G4 PowerBook and an Airport Extreme unit and with them to share the internet connection and to share files.
The iMac has no AirPort card so I want to connect that via Ethernet, but the laptop will be wireless.
I have managed (just) to get the network set up so the two computers can share files (so I assume the AirPort unity isn't faulty), but I cannot get either machine to connect to the internet when connected to the AirPort Extreme. I can only connect by plugging the ethernet cable from my modem directly into my iMac.
I used the Airport Setup Assistant on the laptop and ended up with a message saying that I was now connected to the internet wirelessly, but when I launch Safari, I cannot reach the net at all. I then used the AirPort Admin utility on the desktop to try to configure the
I expect anyoen answering this will need more information... but can anyone supply some pointers?
The desktop used OS X.3.9 and the laptop OS X.10.4 though I doubt this makes a difference.
Many thanks.
iMac G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

Power down the cable modem.
Wait 30 minutes (go and have a cup of tea or something).
Connect the cable modem to the WAN port of the Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS).
Switch on the cable modem.
Switch on the AEBS.
Wait five minutes.
Switch on the PowerBook and see if it now works.
If it does, plug the iMac into the LAN port of he AEBS.
Use the Airport Setup Assistant in the Utilities folder to configure the AEBS.

  • I am planning on recycling an old iMac and Powerbook.  However, the display on the iMac is so messed up I can't read anything and the Powerbook is unusable (no power) so what do I do about erasing the hardrives for security?

    I've been reading up on how to clean your hard drive so personal information can't be accessed, but if you can't get to your hard drive to clean it up, what are you supposed to do?  My town is offering an electronics recycling and I was hoping to drop off my old iMac and Powerbook.   I can turn the iMac on, but the display is really bad and almost unreadable.  The Powerbook is completely dead.   Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    Since both computers have operational problems, I'd suggest removing the hard drives from them.  That way, you'll have possession of the drives and their data.  Considering their age, I doubt that the recycling program will attempt to repair these computers for donation to needy parties, but if you thought so, you could buy a $15 adapter that would let you connect the bare drive to a USB port on your functioning computer.  Once connected, you could erase the drives and reinstall them.  You didn't indicate which iMac you have, but if it's a G3 model, this Macworld article has illustrated directions for hardware upgrades, which would show you how to remove the hard drive.  If your iMac is a G3 (400 MHz or faster) with the additional VGA port concealed under the plastic door on the rear of its underside, you could connect a VGA display and attempt setting up video mirroring.  Once done, you could wipe the drive, while using the connected display to navigate through the procedure.  This would eliminate the need to open the bottom of the housing, to access the hard drive for removal.  As for the PowerBook, you could post a topic in its specific Forum (depending on the model) and request directions for hard drive removal.  Post back as to your preferred option, if you have any questions regarding it.

  • Connecting iMac and MacBook Pro using a non-Apple wireless router

    I use a Belkin wireless router. Is there any way for me to connect iMac and MacBook Pro using the router to share files? I think I read somewhere that I need AirPort Extreme for this, but I'm not sure. Thank you.

    Great resource from Dennis...file sharing, I.e. networking, is a function of the operating system settings and not the brand of router. Using Mac OS X 10.6 on both machines makes it really seamless. Following Dennis's kb article should make the two almost act like one machine.

  • Can i connect imac and macbook by usb?

    can i connect imac and macbook pro by using USB clable? i just want pass my files and music from macbook to imac.
    thank you

    You can't connect both computers by USB. The easiest way is to connect them using a FireWire cable (if your iMac and your MacBook Pro have got FireWire ports), and put your MacBook in target disk mode (start your MacBook holding the T key).
    Doing this, the iMac will detect the MacBook's hard disk as an external disk, so you can easily access to your files from Finder and copy the data you want to the iMac's hard disk

  • Help needed with header and upload onto business catalyst

    Can someone help with a problem over a header please?
    I have inserted a rectangle with a jpeg image in  background, in the 'header' section, underneath the menu. It comes up fine on most pages when previsualised, going right to the side of the screen, but stops just before the edge on certain pages. I have double checked that I have placed it in the right place in relation to the guides on the page.
    That's one problem.
    The second problem is that I tried to upload onto business catalyst, which got to 60% and refused to go any further, saying it couldn't find the header picture, giving the title and then u4833-3.fr.png. The picture is in the right folder I have double checked. And it isn't a png. Does it have to be ?
    And the third problem is that I got an email following my upload from business catalyst in Swedish. I am living in France.
    Can anyone help ? Thanks.

    Thanks for replying,
    How can I check the preview in other browsers before I publish a provisional site with BC?
    The rectangle width issue happens on certain pages but not others. The Welecom page is fine when the menu is active, also the contact page, but others are slightly too narrow. Changing the menu spacing doesn’t help - I was already on uniform but tried changing to regular and back.
    In design mode the rectangle is set to the edge of the browser, that’s 100%browser width right?
    Re BC I have about 200 images on 24 different pages and it seems to be having difficulty uploading some of them. But it has managed a couple I named with spaces but not others I named with just one name.
    Is there an issue on size of pictures ? If I need to replace is there a quick way to rename and relink or do I have to insert the photos all over again?
    I’m a novice with Muse with an ambitious site !
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi
    Answering the questions :
    - Have you checked the preview in Muse and also in other browsers ?
    - Does the rectangle width issue happens when menu is active , or in any specific state , Try to change the menu with uniform spacing and then check.
    - In design view the rectangle is set to 100% browser width ?
    With publishing :
    - Please try to rename the image file and then relink
    - If it happens with other images as well , see if all the image names includes strange characters or spaces.
    - Try again to publish
    With e-mail from BC :
    - Under preferences , please check the country selected.
    - If you have previously created partner account in BC and selected country and language then it would follow that, please check that.
    Thanks,
    Sanjit

  • Beginner question: Can I create a hybrid home network between an ethernet-connected iMac and an airport connected Macbook Pro using a hybrid router?

    I recently acquired an friend's used iMac, I don't know anything about networks and all I can find is how to create a Wi-Fi home network but nothing about hybrid Ethernet/Wi-Fi networks.
    I have the iMac connected via Ethernet to the wireless router.
    I connect via Airport with my MacBook Pro
    I would appreciate if anyone has any pointers as to how I can start setting up a network between my ethernet-connected iMac and WiFi connected Macbook.
    Thanks!

    ethernet and airport/WiFi are just transmission media for the same network. If you can get internet on both computers, they are networked. Using the same router = same network.
    So now, what is it you want to do? Share files between them?

  • Help please connecting PC and iMac

    I am trying to help my cousin connect his Samsung pc laptop with his brand new iMac through his wireless network.
    There are all kinds of partial connections going on, but the one main connection he needs still eludes me. And, that is his Samsung Laptop and iMac do not "see," let alone connect with each other.
    His Samsung Laptop has Macdrive 8 installed, & is running Windows 7.
    I have an Macbook Pro, and am also connected to his wireless network. I can see both his iMac and Samsung laptop in my finder's "Shared," section. (I can access the iMac's files, and though I can see the Samsung, when I try to Connect, it says, "Connection Failed."
    With his Samsung laptop, under Network, you can both see my MBP, and can access it's shared files too, (so Macdrive is working.) Yet, his iMac is strangely not seen, let alone able to connect, to the Samsung laptop.
    His iMac can also see and access my MBP's files, but can not see, let alone connect to the Samsung laptop.
    His iMac, and my MBP, both have Screen Sharing, File Sharing, Remote Login and Bluetooth Sharing all "ON."
    I need his Samsung laptop and iMac to be able to access each others files.
    Any ideas?

    macdrive is not necesarry for accsessing network shares. it's for accessing external HFS formatted HDDs, connected via USB/FW to the windows machine.
    did you check, if the SMB option is activated under filesharing on the imac?
    try temporary deactivating firewalls on both machines.
    here are some more tips on filesharing between os x and win 7

  • Help in order to connect iMac and macbook air

    please could u tell me how I can connect my iMac and my macbook air in order to exchange document or file. Thank you

    You don't specify the particular models of iMac or Air.
    With that in mind I can only guess. My guess is that they are both the current model, both with Thunderbolt.
    In addition to the above recomendation, you can use a Thunderbolt cable, available from Apple to connect the two computers.
    This article explains how.

  • Help! New iMac won't recognize ethernet cable and can't check it

    I just unboxed my new iMac and can't get on the internet (I'm on my powerbook). The problem is this; in Network, it says "The cable for Built-In Ethernet is not plugged in." Only, it is. Can't be the cable b/c that's the cable I'm connected with right now. So, I go through "assist me" and when I click on "Assistant" it takes me to the Intro page where I'm supposed to give a Location Name. I do this, calling it "home." The ver next screen, after clicking "continue" takes me to "How do you connect to the internet?" The problem here is that, of the 5 options, only one is selectable. Airport is the only one that can be selected?? "I use a telephone modem to dial my ISP" as well as "DSL Modem/Cable/Lan" are all greyed out..they cannot be selected. I use an ethernet cable. Why is this not able to be selected? It's very frustrating. I've turned off Airport and Bluetooth, yet I still cannot check any of these. I need to check "I use a cable modem to dial my ISP" but I can't b/c it won't allow me. Can anyone help me here? I can't use my brand new iMac and it's kind of a bummer. I thought these things were plug and play? Thanks.

    I went and checked logs. Now, I'm not exactly sure what it means, but this is what it shows in the console.log:

    So, I'm curious about that last line. I'm completely stumped. I'm going to have to call apple care. I plan to speak with my IT guy who installed my SW to see if there's any pref's or something that my agency puts on the agency computers that would maybe be doing this. He said he'd be doing a "build" on my machine so that I had that same software I have at work, so I could work from home. Don't know how that could cancel out my ability to select Ethernet in my Network Port Configurations, but who knows.
    I'm just bummed I have a new computer and can't get it up and running.

  • Insufficient privledges when sharing between iMac and Powerbook

    I just upgraded both my powerbook and iMac to Leopard and want to turn on file sharing between the two. The way it used to work with Tiger, I would just click on the drive on my network and it would give me read and write privledges. Now it is saying that I have insufficient privledges. I can get the powerbook to mount the iMac and vice versa but can't seem to do much else.
    I am trying to move my iPhoto library from my Powerbook to my iMac.
    Thanks

    If you are trying to write directly into the iPhoto Library, note that it is not a regular folder but a package. The permissions on the iPhoto Library package only allow writing by the owner, so another approach is needed, such as those mentioned in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198

  • Help needed with Express and SQL Dev

    Recently was asked to make a sql server application work with Oracle. I have never worked with Oracle products and no one in my small shop has either. I downloaded the Express 10g onto a virtual machine on my dev server and oracle SQL Developer locally. I have no idea how to connect to the Express db on the prod server using sql developer. I have tried Basic and TNS connection types and all the errors are very cryptic. Any help is appreciated. Do I need to install anything client side to connect to the server?
    I figured it out. I had to use the Basic connection type and I DL'd the J2EE .
    Edited by: jt_stand on Sep 25, 2008 10:51 AM

    Had to use the Basic connection type and get the right combination of options. I can now connect to my remote Express server with my local sql developer program.

  • Connected or not connected: iMac and iPad airport utilities disagree

    The airport utility on my iMac show that my airport extreme is connected to the internet, and so it is, it works fine.
    but:
    The airport utility on my iPad show that my airport extreme is NOT connected to the internet, and yes, I cannot log onto my wireless network from my iPad. I find the network in the list of available networks, but when I log on it just hangs, and hangs forever. (But it easily logs onto any other network outside my home).
    This happened after I bought a new iMac and connected to the net, there was some problem that it resolved by itself, but after that ny iPad disconnected.
    I have upgraded everything that can be upgraded, restarted everything a number of times but still have the problem.
    Please HELP, I miss my iPad!

    Try this:
    1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again
    2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

  • Connecting iMac to Network via Ethernet Cable and Airport Express

    I've tried reading through the various posts to solve this and haven't had any luck. Any help is deeply appreciated.
    I have an Airport Extreme as my main 'base' for our wireless network. I purchased an Airport Express today with the notion of using it to extend my network in the following way: I want to connect an iMac and a printer to the Express (using Ethernet and USB cables respectively) and have the Express serve as a remote for the Extreme base. I have found a number of websites saying this is possible, but none explain how to. I tried the WDS option, which failed to work. I later saw posts here saying that was not the optimal scenario. I'm afraid the 5Ghz/2.4Ghz settings combined with Airport ID addresses has pushed me past my competency!
    Thanks in advance for your help and a festive St. Patrick's Day!

    Temporarily, power down the AirPort Express and concentrate on the AirPort Extreme to make sure that it is functioning correctly, can get an Internet connection, etc.
    A complete power cycle of the network is often useful when you have been making changes. Power everything off, order is not important.
    Wait a moment, (or wait 5-10 minutes if you have cable modem), then power up the modem first and let it run a moment by itself. Then power up the AirPort Extreme the same way.
    Check your settings using AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab just below the row of icons
    If the Wireless Mode setting is "Create a wireless network", make sure there is a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
    Note the exact setting for Security that is being used
    Update to save any changes
    Post back when the AirPort Extreme is functioning correctly as above and we'll tackle the AirPort Express
