I cannot get my iMac with built-in airport wi-fi to allow internet connections to Nook and PS3. The devices access the network, but internet connection fails. Internet sharing is enabled, network security (WEP, WPA) is disabled.  What to check next?

On an additional note, I've purchased a wireless router and everything connected on the first attempt.  It just vexes me that the built-in wireless isn't working as a router.  Is this another example of "Mac only plays with Mac"?

    I followed the steps here to reset the SMC, but I still cannot get my iMac to stop runnin the fan at full blast. What now?

    Ensure you are  using the SMC reset for an Intel iMac. Sometimes it take several tries back to back for the SMC reset to work. I've included a link to the correct instructions for an Intel iMac (just in case) , click https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3603.
    If you still have issues then run Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode at least 3x, it's  also possible you may have a damaged fan or fan sensor.

  • First iMacs with built-in iSight

    I got one of the first iMacs with built in iSight. When I got it, the documentation said that I could not use the built-in iSight to record directly into iMovie.
    I CANNOT choose iSight from the import options, but if I have a DV camera plugged up to import and turn it off, it automatically switches to the iSight and the Import button switches to Record from iSight. It actually works as well.
    Did I automatically install an update that allowed this? I like it, I just don't know when it happened.

    Anyone know how to turn off isight so Imovie will only see the DV camrea /VTR deck? I've got a school setup for Imovie editing and to capture footage from the DV tape deck, but Imovie just keeps wanting to select the Isight Cam and i see no way of telling it what to connect to!!

  • IF I BUY THE NEW 24" IMAC WITH A 3GB AIRPORT DO I NEED TO GET AN AIRPORT EXPRESS?

    IF I BUY THE NEW 24" IMAC WITH A 3GB AIRPORT DO I NEED TO GET AN AIRPORT EXPRESS?

    All Macs have a built in Airport card. You can connect to the internet either using an ethernet cable back to your modem/router, or by wi-fi. If you already have a modem/router which provides a wifi network you don't need anything in addition to the Mac. If you don't have a router providing a wifi network then you will need one - it doesn't have to be an Apple one though they are probably the most suitable.
    You say 'a 3GB Airport' - do you mean a Time Capsule? - that is a router providing wifi.

    Hi! I've got CS3 Design Standard - the actual disks and Software License certificate. It was installed on my laptop which crashed and could therefore not be uninstalled. I have now installed it on my new MacBook Pro, but cannot get it registered with the serial number. Is it because it wasn't uninstalled on the previous laptop? What to do now?? Thx!

    Maybe this can help someone else...  I simply had to properly uninstall CS3 and reinstall it again after that.  I think that sorted it!  I also remember having a similar issue with Macs at work a couple of years back.  Not sure whether the same applies to CS5/CS6.  Here's a link on how to properly uninstall CS3 on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Mac OS.  I'm on OS X 10.9.2 but it worked just fine.  Remove Creative Suite 3 and CS3 products

    You might want to try resetting your router and your modem - just unplug the cords, leave them unplugged for about 3-5 minutes and then replug the modem and then the router in that order.
    This may or may not correct your problem - call back if it doesn't.

    Choose the strongest security available on your router, preferably WPA2 using AES encryption and a long complex passphrase with at least 14 characters (the maximum is 63 characters).

  • I have CS4 Photoshop on my iMac with Mavericks. I am going to upgrade to Yosemite, and don't think it is compatible with CS4. Do I get the full Photoshop CC version for $9.99 a month, or do I need to buy any additional things?

    Thanks, I was thinking so. I installed my CS4 from a CD in 2008, and it looks like Adobe has taken another approach to selling their products. I'll be downloading CC Photoshop a little later today.

  • Can ibook with built in airport detect a private wpa secure network?

    I have an ibook g4 with built-in airport. My home supports a d-link wirless router on private broadcast and wpa-psk security. The ibook has no problems linking to the router and the network but when the ibook goes to sleep or is shut down, it drops the connection. When I awaken the ibook or turn the ibook back on, I have to enter the SSID and the password every time. Is this normal for airport?
    If not, what would be the problem?
    My airport is set to join prefered networks by default and the only prefered network listed is the private network on the d-link router.
    I also have a wirless laptop PC and it is able to pick-up and join the network without prompting though it sometimes has a hard time obtaining an IP address.
    Any advice would be appreciated.

    This started to happen to me just recently as well. The iBook was having no problem maintaining the connection with the wireless network. Over the past few days, the connection drops whenever the iBook sleeps or I restart. I have to reenter all the information.
    I don't recall any sort of updates being installed, but it's very confusing.
