I'm having trouble connecting my Intel iMac with the internet using wifi router

I'm having trouble configuring my iMac to accept a connection with my Telstra Elite mobile broadband Wifi router.
The iMac's Wifi is turned on and the elite router is selected in the Wifi list with a tick.
The router is turned on, and connected to the internet.
I'm able to surf the net and collect emails using my MacBook Pro ( what I'm using now) and my iPad with no hassles by connecting them to the Telstra Elite Wifi router. But I'm unable as yet to get a connection using the iMac.
The Telstra router accepts up to 5 simultaneous connections.
At present the display on the router says that three devices are connected. They being the iPad, the MacBook Pro and the iMac.
Can anyone help me out?

  • Having trouble connecting my new Wii to the internet via FIOS

    any one have same issue?  I put in the key but it won't connect

    Make sure you wep wireless authentication key is the fist key. I made that mistake with my 360. I set the encryption key to slot 3 and it could only look for it on key 1

    Have you enabled the Wireless MAC Authentication in Advanced Security Settings? If so, you will need to add the Wii to access list. No other suggestions come to mind. Good luck.
     You would only need to do that if you enabled the wireless to do that. by default it is turned off.

  • Having trouble connecting computer to TV with sound

    I have a 2010 macbook pro and a samsung LN40B550 LCD HDTV - having trouble connecting computer to TV with sound - I'm not sure which connectors I need and have purchased a few that aren't working (HDMI: DVI cable & Mini - DP to DVI adaptor).  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Sorry to tell you that DVI does not support sound.  You either have to use a HDMI cable (with the appropriate adapter) or tap your audio output port with a 'Y' type cable configuration for sound.
    Ciao.

  • I am having trouble connecting my bluetooth headset on the ipad 1. I have now been told that Apple is only allowing several headsets to be used with Ipad. Is this correct? I have a grundig headset and a plantronics headset but these can both not be found

  • I am having trouble connecting my iPad mini with my lap top that run Xperia

    I am having trouble connecting my iPad mini with my lap top that run Xp

    Hi..I've had a variant of this problem; my internet was accessible but my devices on wifi could not see the PC on Lan. That meant no iTunes syncing, Airplay from iTunes etc.
    Dlink has a strange default setting that isolates Wifi & Wired connections into different subnets.I'm assuming you have DHCP setup on your router and you're PC or MAC has internet access via the same router. Try the following steps to see if this solves the problem for you-
    1. Go to Setup -> Local Network  and Uncheck the box that says 'Configure the second IP Address and Subnet Mask for LAN' - Hit Apply
    2. Go to Wireless -> Wireless Basic and Uncheck 'Enable MultiAP Isolation' - Hit Apply
    3. Restart your Router
    Let me know if this solves your problem. I've been frustrated by my problem for months & had nearly given up.

  • Connect two Intel iMacs with Ethernet

    I wish to transfer files between two Intel iMacs running 10.4.9. I have a suitable ethernet cable I think. I tried to follow an illustrated article online and got as as far as using GO>ConnectServer. The resulting dialogue box 'sees' the other computer and I am then asked to enter my password as a registered user. The login password happens to be the same for both machines but the passwork is not accepted.
    I have tried to connect as a guest, but this only gives me a drop box that refuses to open because of insufficient privildges.
    Rather confused now. Any suggestions from those more enlightened please??

    Sounds like your connected with file sharing on, you stated "I have tried to connect as a guest, but this only gives me a drop box that refuses to open because of insufficient privileges." this is typical by default when attempting to "view" another's Drop Box over a network. Have you tried transferring a file by dragging it into the others Drop Box?
    In the Get Info did you click on the lock to enable you to change permissions?
    If it is a network problem, are the computers in range of each other to create a wireless network? (New 17 and 24 iMacs, Wireless card?)
    "All this may be a 10.4.9 problem"
    Hard to say. My dealings with 10.4.9 can be read on this thread http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4271334#4271334 Forgive my antics, I was a bit steamed at the time

  • Having upgraded to lion my imac drops the internet connect when not active

    I have just upgraded to Lion and when I leave the computer unattended for a few minutes it drops its internet connection - therefore does not collect any email until I click on the Airport icon and reselect the network. Also when starting up the and automatically loading Firefox the home page shows the previous download.

    I FINALLY SOLVED THIS ISSUE!!!!
    New routers have "mixed" modes for your network; this means that it will automatically choose the best option between wireless-B, wireless-G and wireless-N network modes. I used to experience this issue using the 2.4 GHz. mixed mode wireless network.
    Thankfully, my router can create 2 networks: a 2.4 GHz. network and a 5 GHz. network.
    When I randomly changed this value to "use only wireless-B and wireless-G" trying to fix an issue with a wi-fi expander, the iMac wi-fi  issue dissapeared! I tried it with wireless-N only, but it didn't work.
    So, finally, I have a 2.4 GHz network with only wireless-B and wireless-G modes which works PERFECT with the iMac, and a 5 GHz. network with a mixed* wireless mode for everything else mode.
    *PD: by "mixed" mode it means that the router will automatically choose between B, G and N network modes as it fits better.

  • HT1277 I'm having trouble connecting my Exchange Server with my Apple Mail product.

    Per setting up the account, I'm getting email, so, I believe my Exchange IMAP is correct, but, I cannot send email to anyone outside my internal network.  The wierd thing is that when I go to the Connection Doctor (after I get the Try Again...or...Try Again with Selected Server screen), I get a green light on the SMTP Server and a red light on the Exchange IMAP Server.  Any comments would be appreciated. 

    Edgar,
    I highly recommend, if you live in an area where there may be overlapping WiFi networks..  use recent OS X's hidden WiFi Diagnostics utility......
    Hold down the Option key, click on the WiFi icon in the menu bar and click on Open WiFi Diagnostics... This works for (maybe 10.7... cant remember..) 10.8,10.9 and 10.10.
    ...and check for any nearby WiFis that may be on the same channel.... and if there are, change your WiFi channel to a different one so your signal remains clear  of interference and more importantly uninterrupted... LR seems very susceptible to such brief 'breaks' or interruptions...
    Personally because of where I live, there are no competing networks and I have no issues at all using LR with any of my 5 LP rigs here.. switching between them at will....
    The only other item of interest that I have found when troubleshooting such issues.. is the use of non Apple Routers..... and a failure of automatic port forwarding for example...but this cause usually prevents connection altogether and not intermittent issues... Haven't come across anyone using an Airport Extreme for example.. from 2009 onwards, who has any issues connecting LR to LPX... but a number of older Netgear, TP-Link and D-Links ones seems to have this issue at times...
    Cheers..

  • I am having trouble connecting to my computer via the personal hotspot on my iPhone 5s, can anyone help?

    My iPhone 5s will not connect via wi fi to my computer using the hotspot. sometimes , if I plug it in via USB it works but most times the blue"personal hotspot connection" bar just jumps and does nothing else. Anyone , can you help?

    If nothing else is working, I would reset the network settings on the iPhone. Settings/General/Reset/Reset Network Settings. Nothing will be erased from the phone, but you will need to re-enter any wifi connection you had set up previously along with re-enter any bluetooth connection you had.

    Anyone know what the problem could be?
    Thank you

    I was finally able to pair my big blue with an iphone 6.

  • I have the new iphone 4S (this is my first iphone) I am having trouble connecting to my bluetooth device - the iphone is searching for the device but won't recognize it (my bluetooth device is a jawbone)

    My iphone 4s does not recognize my bluetooth device - I don't know why
    My bluetooth device is a jawbone and I have turned it on and sitting next to my iphone which is searching for bluetooth devices but will not recognize it
    Not sure why

    dugasgre wrote:
    Thanks for the advice
    I just tried turning the jawbone off and then turning it on and shaking it 4 times but the iphone 4s still won't recognize my jawbone
    Do I need to unpair the jawbone from my blackberry first?  And if so, how do I do that?
    so after double shaking, is the ring flashing red +white? If it is not, then it is not in pairing mode. (I'm assuming you have the ERA) And you see nothing on the iphone? Nothing is found? Or is the device found, but not paired.
    try placing the jawbone in pairing mode first, and then turn off/on the iphone blue tooth.
    I don't think you need to unpair with the BB. But you can try. go to BB settings and there should be a way to  forget the device.

  • Anyone else having trouble pairing iPhone music apps with the Aura BluNote?

    I have already treid all the suggested fixes from the Apple website.  Still no success.  The bluetooth speaker plays audio whenever I make a phonecall, but will  not when I try to listen to my music, pandora, or any other audio app.

    Hi John,
    Some of us were actually having major issues after the IOS 5 upgrade without music. Here is one solution.
    Altered from original solution from Emily P:
    Okay, mine now works here is what I did.
    plug in the iPhone, iPad etc
    in iTunes select the phone or iPad
    Under Summary uncheck "Sync with this....."
    Under "Music" uncheck the "Sync Music"
    Sync
    Let it remove all the songs, dont worry it will come back no problems.
    Once that is all done all the music on the phone or ipad should be gone.
    Now check them both back on, sync, and everything should copy back onto it.
    Working now !!!!!
