How do I wirelessly conect to the internet with my imac 5.2

cannot activate airport on imac any ideas. i need to pick up a wireless internet, is it hardware problem or download remedy or ????
cheers,

Have you been able to connect to the internet before?  Are you sure your Mac has an airport card?  Is its antenna properly connected?  Is your modem showing the correct number of lights, indicating that its connected to the internet? Have you checked your Mac's connection to the modem?
Lots of questions, please post back with answers,

  • Stop Iphone 2.0 from automatically conecting to the internet

    Hello,
    Yesterday I up-dated my classic Iphone 1.1.4 to the new OS 2.0.2. It has worked really fine, but I discovered that it automatically connects to the internet via gprs increasing charges on my phone bill. I´ve changed some settings like:
    *settings> fetch new data > push off > fetch manually*
    *settings> general > network > data roaming off*
    Though my Iphone isn't automatically updating data it is still able to conect to the internet if I press any of the web applications.
    How can I disable this?

    Hmmm.. I can think of anything that will shut off the connection to the web. It will likely be maybe a wireless carrier issue? If you have no data plan the wireless carrier may still feed you data per GPRS. In phones like the Blackberry it lets you know this to either accept it or not per charges. I dont see any option like that on the iphone.

  • How do I connect to the internet with Airport for the first time?

    I just got my Airport express and I've been trying to configure it to connect to the internet but it doesn't work and I can't find info on the configurations. I have an ethernet "modem" which I used to connect the cable coming from it to the computer and now I connect it to my Airport. Although the green light is on and in network preferences, it tells me I'm connected to the internet, I can't browse the internet with Safari, etc. I've been trying to find information on how to configure the base station in Airport Admin Utility but there is no specific information. Is there anyone who could help me telling me how to set up the IP adress, if I need one, DHCP, preferences in Airport Admin Utility?? If the ethernet cable is connected to the computer directly I don't need a user ID or anything... It's all setup automatically.

    As a minimum, in order to gain access to the Internet with an AirPort Express base station, you will need an Internet Service Provider (ISP) AND an Internet modem or gateway device.
    What is the make & model of the Internet modem or gateway device that you have the AirPort Express directly connected to by Ethernet? What exact model of Express do you have?

    how do i connect to the internet with my ipad?

    Did you turn WiFi on in the Settings App? If WiFi is turned on, your iPad should be able to see any WiFi networks that you can connect to and you should be able to tap on one of those, enter a password if needed and then tap the join button.
    I get the feeling that you know this and the problem needs further explanation so ... Can you explain in more detail?

  • How do I get windows to connect to the internet on my iMac

    How do I get Windows 7 Home Premium to connect to my existing internet connection, on my iMac (Lion 10.7.3)?  The installation of the Windows 7 using Bootcamp went fine, up to the point of getting connected to the internet.  My iMac side of the partition connects to the internet just like it always did.

    You should ask this in the boot camp forum.
    You will probably get more help there.

  • I have a Power PC G4 which is running on OSX 10.5.8, it has the AirPort utility but cannot connect to the internet as my iMac can, I think I might need an AirPort Card? Is that the case or do I need something different to connect to a wireless modem?

    I have a Power PC G4 which is running on OSX 10.5.8, it has the AirPort utility but cannot connect to the internet as my iMac can, I think I might need an AirPort Card? Is that the case or do I need something different to connect to a wireless modem?

    Welcome!
    Only one variant of the PowerMac G4 could use the faster Airport Extreme Card. The rest used the original Airport card that is pretty slow.
    To get fast wireless without buying more than one thing, consider this:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Edimax/EW7722IN/
    It goes in an available PCI slot
    There are USB solutions also. However, all PowerMac G4 towers had only slower USB 1.1 ports, so any USB wireless adaptor can only run at about wireless 'B" speeds (slow) unless you also install a PCI USB 2.0 adaptor card. Doing that would allow a USB wireless adaptor to run at its maximum rated speed. These items working together would accomplish that:
    USB wireless "dongle:"
    Newer Technology MAXPower 802.11n/g/b USB Adapter + Plug and play direct or with extension cradle
    USB PCI adaptor:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/Search/Search.cfm?Ntk=Primary&Ns=P_Popularity%7c1&Ne=5 000&N=7069&Ntt=USB+PCI
    Each approach has its advantages. The PCI wireless card is a one-piece solution that takes up no desk space. The USB2 card+USB2 Dongle gives you more fast ports for transferring date from other external USB devices (primarily cameras and external hard drives) at hugely faster rates than can the original ports. I have a USB 2 PCI card in my G4 tower strictly for transferring images from my digital SLR camera in a timely manner.

  • TS3274 I get on the internet with my Ipad3 and when I start typing in the search box the ipad guess' what I want before I finish typing and goes to the internet. How do I fix that?

    Yes if you purchase the tethering data plan for your iPhone. See:

  • How doI stop it opening the internet with Creative Commons and use another search engine e.g. Google?

    When I first go to the internet with Firefox, then want to type in what I am looking for, it opens with Creative Commons. I would MUCH rather it opened with a search engine such as Google. How do I change to this? N.B I am using a Mac.

    ''morflorian wrote:''
    if the migth-be protocol has no handler, assume it is just a search engine request).
    The main problem with that would be that Firefox would fail to notify the user in case of a valid protocol that's not associated with a program, and would instead send the URL as a search query. Firefox would appear broken, when in fact the problem is with the external application. That's far from desirable. This isn't an uncommon occurrence with externally-handled protocols like ''magnet''.
    Also, I don't think the vast majority of people are likely to run into this problem. Even those that do can easily work around it, by placing the search words first (e.g. ''gingerbread intitle:recipes''), or by starting the query with a search engine keyword (e.g. ''g date:1 heartbleed aftermath''). To assign a keyword to a search engine, click the icon in the search bar and choose Manage Search Engines.
    If you feel very strongly about this, head over to the ''#firefox'' [http://irc.mozilla.org IRC channel] and see if you can find someone familiar with the File Handling component. If they think this change is a good idea, you could then file a bug report.

  • Windows laptops wireless access to the Internet and not to any of my files?

    TC late 2008. I want to give Windows laptops wireless access to the Internet and not to any of my files? I have tried to locate "Guest" accounts in my Airport Utility with no luck and I do not understand my options. Example: Could I add a Linksys Wireless-G Cable Gateway router before or after my TC and not have a security problem?

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    Guest networking requires a "simultaneous dual-band" AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule. Those weren't introduced until 2009.
    Are the files you want to protect on your Time Capsule or on your Mac? You can protect files on your Time Capsule with a password. In AirPort Utility look at the Disks panel, File Sharing tab.
