I just bought an IBook G4.. perfect condition, but I can not get it to connect to my wireless.
I just bought an IBook G4 in perfect condition, but I cannot get it to connect to my wireless. The IBook came with all the original cables, CDs, Books and packaging.., Like I said perfect condition. It was sold as having Airport Extreme, but I don't know how to make sure it is Airport Extreme.
I know the password is correct and the wireless system works on my other computers (PCs) . It picks up my wireless network, but I get a prompt that tellls me the password is not correct. I have set it to WAP... I tried WEP but was told it should be WAP... I even took it to my son's home this weekend and got the same results from his wireless connection.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Sam,
Your iBook is younger than mine. I have an iBook G4. 800MHzPower PC G4 processor.256K level 2 cache. 256MB of DDR SDRAM; supports up to 640MB.
This unit did NOT have an AE card preinstalled. I purchased that at an Apple Store and they did the install for me. The iBook ran OS 10.3.3 out of the box. I know it was on the Internet via ABES g standard on a dial up AOL connection thanks to Tesserax on the Airport forum.
My iBook is now running 10.3.9. It was on the Internet with 10.3.4 mayb even 10.3.3. Can't remember. The only reason I went to 10.3.9 was for a printer istall.
We purchased an iBook G4 exactly like yours for a friend. There was a noticible speed bump on that one. I set it up for our friend and there was no difficulty getting on the Internet with it here at my home or his.
Have you been able to connect to the Internet at a hotspot? Just trying to cover all the bases.

Hi, just bought my daughter an Iphone 4s and I can't get it to let her on youtube, Facebook etc., keeps saying no internet connection. My husband and I have 3G smartphones and we can get on them on ours, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Also, my other daughter has the same phone and has no trouble getting on these sites either. Any information to help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
Well, did you activate this new phone?

Thanks!!!Contact the maker of that product.

Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect. Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static IP, Subnet, Router and DNS manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected. Using Airport for router, latest firmware, no problems with Iphone 4 or Macbook Pro or any other internet devices. After total Restore (factory settings) tried again, showed connected to router, but does not display "check" next to router but little rotating icon even though the wifi range signal shows connected at full strength and it says it is connected. Just can't seem to get it to generate an IP. Any solutions other than turning it on and off again? Not a Merry Christmas morning.
Ok, so, a couple of things: Denisefromwaleska and I have the exact same size/type/color iPod. Now wishing I'd bought the black one maybe...
Second, Airport is an Express and I have a second one that I carry with me when I travel. Tried to connect my Airport Express to the internet and could not although the iPod did recognize the router and tried to connect to the internet for some time, unlike my previous problem. Updated firmware on my travel router, still could not connect to the internet. Going to try to set up a manual Static IP on the travel router here in a few and conect through it although I predict the problem will persist. Back on the Christmas Present Airport Express router, it is back in play and working fine for all devices save the iPod.
Thanks again for all your help, hopefully I can get a solution in place soon, -
I just upgraded to the 5s. I have several mail accounts and I'm getting a message that says: "can not get mail, the connection to the server failed" . Now I'm confused because all the mail shows up perfectly.
Well it does it every time I go to mail and is driving me nuts. It never happened on my iPhone5, just on this 5s.

My girlfriend just bought me an unlocked iphone 4s but how can i activate it without my card?
My girlfriend just bought me an unlocked iphone 4s but at the moment I have a standard size sim card and we are in the caribbean. She has a micro sim in her iphone 4. can i activate my phone with her card then change to my card (different carrier) when i get back to our home country (from caribbean)? also ofcause not affecting her phone or sim.
Basicly I wanna play around with the new phone and siri and stuff before I go back home
Merry christmas all btw!There are SIM cutter's/punches that will cut a full size sim into a micro sim.
Then you can use the old part of the large sim as a holder/adapter of the newly made micro sim
as a full size sim.

Maybe you can find someone or local shop to do it for you

I just brought my IPad home but can't get it to connect to my MIFI. The MIFI is on and working as it's sending a signal to my IMac. How do I get it to recognize the MIFI so I can go online with my IPad?
Does your iPad see you network? If no, are you broadcasting its SSID?

Hi and keep safe!
My links to websites are much more basic (when I first read this I hoped Texas Mac Man would respond to you and he did!)
My guess is you probably have wireless where you are and might have a computer, but not knowing for sure...
We set my husband's up this Summer, and for whatever reasons used my Apple ID and itunes so he could share our itunes libraries (already paid for shows and movies) and cd's I uploaded to my mac.
So you might be beyond this basic stuff, but it might help.
Also, please note that you can now set up an itunes account without a credit card. If you decide to do that, you can ask family at home to buy itunes cards and give you the #'s without having to mail them to you because you might or might not get them.
You can download a manual at Apple.com which might help you with any problems you encounter.
You will need to sync your ipad with your computer.
If you have/had an ipod, mac book, etc., you're apple id on your ipad will be the same. A couple of weeks ago our younger son bought an ipad before he went back to school. He could not create accts, etc., but then realized he was already set up with his ID from when he got his very first ipod years ago.
Sign up for the cloud for back-up.
Get find my ipad - free app in App store.
And get gotcha (not sure where - my son's looking into it.) But if someone takes your ipad and turns it on, a picture of him/her is automatically e-mailed to you and you can go from there to hopefully retrieve it.
So please check out

Hope this helps, and again, keep safe. -
I bought a brand new iPhone 4 as soon as it came out which was 2010 I think. No problems until two weeks ago. I fractured the screen on it so I am slowly losiong some functions like charge, touch screen ability and need to activate my new iPhone but I am having trouble with iTunes showing my full song library. I have 554 plus songs but some that will not update or download,. Two weeks ago is when this all began. I used to have a different apple ID but changed it after a few months for security reasons. Now when I try to observe my itunes library it only shows the most recent songs I have purchased,35. Not all, and there are still songs that it states it can not download because my computer is not authorized, I authorize it and it says it is already authorized. Then it gives me the old apple ID from years ago and I change it back to my new one, but this only causes it to do it over and over. I called apple and they said all kinds of mean things that my son or husband had been using my ID or account, of which is impossible because all purchases have to be password protected and I get warnings if anyone attempts to access. Also, their ID's are not my old one. Their libraries have none of my music. I do not home share but I thought that iTunes says you can use the music for households if you homeshare so I do not know why the person was so abusive but I am frustrated. So, any ideas? I was instructed to install icloud and did and it seems to me to be the culprit so I bought the stupid iCloud sharing manage,$25 yearly so that it automatically downloads your full library but no luck, still only shows the purchases I recently made with my gift card. This was suggested by the apple care expert. Can not update my phone until backed up, can not change phones until updated and backed up.
I know it sounds weird, and that is the reason I posted my question. Because my case is not like all the ones I've found online and it's confusing. I added a screen capture of my itunes with my old iphone (the one that houses my playlists) connected to it.
My playlists "ARE" in my iphone 4s. They are still there even though they do not show up when I plug in to itunes in my computer.
When connecting my phone to itunes on my macbook, the playlists do not appear anywhere in itunes. I have found my connected iphone icon, I have clicked on the arrow next to it and it does pull up the standard lists that come with the iphone/itunes: Music, Movies, TV shows, books. That's it! below that is "Genius" and below "Geniuns" is "PLAYLISTS" but the only playlist of mine that shows there is one that I created several years back titled "90's music" and that one I created it on my computer, not my phone. Under "90's music" there are also other standard playlists that itunes automatically adds.
Does anyone else have this issue or know how to get around this. I am starting to think that I am going to have to recreate these lists on my computer -
I bought a ringtone on my ipad but I can't get it on my iphone
I bought a tone on my ipad but it won't appear on my iphone.
Do you have automatic downloads enabled for Music with your Apple ID on the iPhone - Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Automatic Downloads?
Do you have automatic downloads enabled with iTunes on your computer - the computer used for syncing with the iPad and iPhone?
If so, the ringtone should be avaialble in your iTunes library on your computer which can be transferred to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process - selected under the Tones tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Or you can transfer content purchased from the iTunes store from your iPad to your iTunes library with iTunes on your computer followed by selecting this ringtone under the Tones tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.
You have a number of options and this isn't all of them. -
