HT3728 airport not powering on

AirPort is plugged in, has been since the day we got it. Got a notification on the desk top this morning saying the computer hasnt been backed up in 50+ days, checked the AirPort, the light is not on. Unplugged it, nothing.
Is my AirPort dead?

Most likely the problem is with your software. Just turn it on and restore it through iTunes if you haven't done so already. If that doesn't work, all I can say is to wait until the next version of 2.x.x comes out and see if problems persist. If they do, then you should probably call Apple and let them know.

Airport: Not Configured after 10.4.7 update

I just bought a new macbook 2.0Ghz, proceeded through the first-time installation wizard setup my wifi settings, and everything worked fine.
At first boot in macosx i had my wifi working and i was able to browse and download things.
I installed the 10.4.7 macosx update, restarted, then lost my wifi connection.
The signal indicator reads
Airport: Not Configured
and in the network settings under 'Network Port Configuration' I see a greyed out 'AirPort' configuration. I can"t enable it. I can't add a new one either since the only choices are Bluetooth, Builtin firewire/ethernet, 6 to 4
I found a knowledge base article describing a similar problem:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303437
But the described workaround doesn't seem to work.
I also tried to reinstall the 10.4.7 update using the combo installer, the issues remain.
I ran also the permission repair utility at various stages in the process, it never detected any errors.
In the System Profiler under network/Airport section, i see:
Airport Card Information:
Type: AirPort Extreme [..]
Locale: Worldwide
Firwmare: 0.1.24
Current Wireless Network: AirPort is currently turned off
I know the card is there and working, since linux happily uses it when i boot in linux.
Has anyone any clue about what's happening ?
Is there a simple 'enable' button somewhere, or is that a known isse with 10.4.7 updater, how can i revert to 10.4.6 then ?
Thanks a lot!
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

It's actually a bit more weird:
When stepping through the first-time boot wizard, it asks to select the wifi essid from a list, the scan is ok and shows my network, and i type the WEP key in the box, click next. The 'Configuring your computer' blinks then the setup goes on and asks for my .Mac account and so on.
After the wizard completes i'm able to surf the web and connected BUT !
The signal meter is always empty and clicking on it states 'Airport: Not Configured'. When i open the network preferences it says under 'current status' that i'm using the builtin ethernet device ??!!
The IP and dhcp re-lease stuff work in the UI even if it's clearly not the builtin ethernet card that i'm using since the IP is from the wifi router, and there is no cable plugged in, and i can access the internet.
No mention of Airport port in the setup, so i can't configure it.
As soon as i restart the connection is gone, and the setup created by the first-time wizard is gone.
So the situation is now i have a 10.4.6 os with no airport..

My iphone 5 is not powering the scree, when i connect the iphone to the power it only vibrates

my iphone 5 is not powering the scree, when i connect the iphone to the power it only vibrates o make the connect sound (is like the sound when you connect the phone to power) and the screen remains black, itunes recognizes the iphone, but i cannot do a hard reset because the power button does not work, and have password in my phone so itunes wond restore it. i want to know if is a hardware problem like the mother board o something. help please

If you have iOS 7 installed, you can try to restore it via the instructions given by lllaass in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5634135
As an alternative, you could take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs test it and see what is wrong beyond the failed power button.

Copying iMovie back to tape: "your firewire camera is not powered on"

I'm trying to follow iMovie 6 instructions for copying a movie back to tape.
I connected my camcorder to the computer with the firewire cable, and it shows up in the Share-->Video Camera menu as an attached device. (It's a Canon Elura 100, btw.)
So all seems well until I start the procedure, and then I get a "Cannot Export to Camera" error message that says "your firewire camera is not powered on or is not available."
My ever so slow brain thinks this might have something to do with the fact that I'm using the DV/firewire cable that I used to import the footage into my iMac, and maybe it only sends stuff OUT the firewire end, and won't send video the other way?
Do I need a different kind of firewire cable?

Thanks for your assistance!
I bought this camcorder from Amazon.com (USA) and I have not daisy-chained it anywhere. I've only connected it to one device at a time. It is capable of receiving digital as well as analog video, and can convert analog to digital.
For example, I used my stereo-video cable to transfer footage from an old VHS tape played by our VCR to my Canon Elura camcorder via the Canon's AV terminal.
Once the tape was safely transferred into my Canon camcorder, I then plugged my DV/firewire cable into the Canon's DV terminal, and the firewire end of it into the iMac. iMovie saw the Canon camcorder and imported all the footage very nicely.
Now I would like to transfer the edited footage from iMovie back to a mini DV tape, and my iMovie help file says I can do it, but it's a little sketchy on what cables I should be using.
The firewire/DV cable I used to send the footage IN to iMovie isn't working to receive the edited footage OUT of iMovie. So maybe I need a different kind of firewire cable?
Thanks for any help you can offer!

Airport not shown in interconnect connect

still can't access airport extreme. airport not shown as an option in interconnect connect. am i missing a chunk of software? If so, how can i get it? spotlight search for "airport' reveals only the two utilities from the installation. should there be something else, an extension or something?

Hi Gino, thanks for your answer. Airport is not shown in the list of network devices! There is no Airport icon in the menu. It's almost as if the Airport function was never installed. I have no way to turn it on or off because it's not listed anywhere. Mac & base station are right next to each other.
This is a new APBS & I've never used Airport before. It appears that the APBS software CD installs only the Admin and Setup utilities. Is there more to the Airport function than these 2 utilities? Is there a way to install the Airport function (system software? haven't been able to find anything).
Many thanks to you & this forum!

You have to remove all cables before connecting to your computer with micro usb. Power is only connected when using a 3rd gen device and done after the initial connection.

How to print to my wireless all in one photosmart prem c410 when printer is not powered on?

how to print to my wireless all in one photosmart prem c410 when printer is not powered on?

Hi,
You cant print to a printer that you physicly turned off. Most network printer have a sleep mode, so leave it on and after a while it should go into a sleepmode. And should wake up when a printjob is being sent.

27" thunderbolt monitor is not powering back on with Laptop

Since updating to the new version of Yosemite my 27" thunderbolt monitor is not powering back on when plugged into my laptop via the thunderbolt port. Suggestions on how to get it back up?

Apple Support had me reset the SMC and after doing so my monitor came back up and functioned like it was supposed to. Support said sometimes after updates we need to reset the SMC if changes aren’t cleared from the previous update resulting in behaviors like I was experiencing. Below are the steps i followed to reset the SMC.....
1. Shut down the computer. 
2 Plug in the MagSafe or USB-C power adapter to a power source and to your computer. 
3 On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time. 
4 Release all the keys and the power button at the same time. 
5 Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
On MagSafe power adapters, the LED might change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

Airport not Reconnecting after waking from sleep

Hi all,
I have a problem with Airport not automatically reconnecting after the computer wakes from sleep or is turned on or rebooted. I have it set to join a specific network automatically. Any idea why this may be? It used to work just fine.

I had this problem just recently and seem to have fixed it today. I made the following changes:
I changed security from WPA2 to WPA using the Airport Admin Utility.
I went to the Network Preferences panel and found that the network was still listed as WPA2, so I deleted it.
I then added the WPA network to my preferred network list.
The computer now reconnects automatically after sleep or shutdown.
I don't know whether changing from WPA2 to WPA was necessary. It may be that all you need to do is delete and re-add the network.
Hope that helps!

Macbook Pro late 2011 not powering on. The charger shows a blinking dim orange/green light.

Macbook Pro late 2011 not powering on. The charger shows a blinking dim orange/green light. I have tried pressing the small button on the side of the macbook pro to check the battery, but no lights show up.

Hey Angelo_here,
I'd run through these steps:
If your computer won't turn on, try each of these steps:
Verify you have a good connection from your Mac to the wall outlet by confirming the power cord and adapter if present are securely connected and plugged in. To check if the wall outlet is working, plug in a lamp or other electrical device.
If the wall outlet is working and you continue to have no power try another power cord or adapter if available. If it works you may need a replacement cord or adapter.
Note: See Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters for further troubleshooting with MagSafe adapters.
Disconnect all accessories that are plugged in to the computer, such as a printer, hub, or other mobile device.
If your Mac supports user-installable memory, solid state drive, or hard drive, and you recently installed any of these, make sure they are installed correctly and are compatible with your computer. If possible, reinstall the original memory or drive into the computer to find out if the behavior persists afterwards.

USB not powering external drive on new macbook pro

My new macbook pro retina display is not powering an external 750GB GDrive moblie. Is anyone having this problem?

It seems as if a number of people are having problems with the USB 3.0 ports on the 2012 MBP's - particularly when it comes to external storage devices.
As you don't have a FW800 port (or, yet, an adapter) the best thing you can do is either return it to your local Apple Store and see if they know of a 'fix' (which I doubt - someone would have posted that by now), whether it's only occurring with some MBP models, and you can always file a bug report with Apple: https://bugreport.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/RadarWeb.woa/wa/signIn - you must sign in with your Apple ID.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there have been quite a few people posting here with the same problem.
Good luck,
Clinton

When did it happen? After updating/upgrading? or just randomly?
You can try to perform a SMC reset and resetting the PRAM:
