IBook G3 Airport and network issues!!

Help!
I have an iBook G3 900 MHZ, OS X Version 10.4.11
I am trying to connect wirelessly using a Linksys router and cable modem. There is a non-Mac laptop in the same house that is able to connect to the network, but I'm not able! Airport doesn't recognize this or any other wireless networks when I click on the icon in the upper right corner of the main screen. I can connect using an ethernet cable, but not wireless.
It worked before, and all of the sudden, decided it wanted to stop working...
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks!

Assuming the iBook used to be able to connect and now it won't, you can check these items:
1. make sure airport is turned on in the menu bar
When you click on the airport icon, do you see any networks?
2. check in your *apple>location> network preferences>network port configuration* to make sure that airport is checked
3. Put your location on automatic
4. make sure that the router is not hiding its SSID (name of network)
5. make sure that mac address filtering is not turned on in the router, which is a feature that only allows specific wireless devices to connect, with the owner of the network being the one who grants the permissions.
If all of that checks out, then have you removed your airport card at all since it last worked? Have you repaired permissions, made sure that the network name and password you are using and the type of encryption being used are correct?

Airport Express Audio Drop and Network issue

I have a Dell Laptop, DLink G604T router and Airport Express. When I first bought the airport express I successfully got it to join my existing Dlink wireless network and I could happily stream music wirelessly to the airport express and maintain a wireless internet connection through the Dlink router.
Since then I started having issues with audio drops to the Airport express and despite doing a lot of searching on the discussion forums and internet and trying different things have never solved the issue.
The one thing that does seem to work is if I create a new wireless network with the Airport Express rather than joining the existing Dlink one. I can then stream music flawlessly all day long. The down side is I then can't get internet access wirelessly at the same time. I have to disconnect from one network and connect to the other.
If I connect the dlink router to the airport express by ethernet and use the Dlink router just as a modem I think the issue will be resolved but this is not convenient due to position of router and airport express.
So the question is, Can I get the Dlink router to join the Airport Express Wireless network wirlessly rather than the AE joining the Dlink wireless network? Any thoughts on whether this is possible and if so how?
Dell Inspiron 500m Windows XP Pro

I had one AE base unit, where network connection would disapear every other day. The light would still be green on the AE, but the signal from the AE could not be picked up nor seen by the computer. Only turning the AE off and back on, would make it appear and work again. I Changed the AE unit, and I dont have the problem any more. I didnt change any settings at all.
So in my case, it was the AE base unit that was malfunctioning.
I have also seen similar problems with a different cause: That the wifi network card in the computer wasnt connected properly. ..
I dont think its a software problem
good luck

PowerMac and iBook using airport and router

Hi, I have a desktop PowerPC G4 as well as 2 iBooks. The PowerPC connects directly to the DSL modem and obtains internet without issue. The 2 iBooks I have both can connect to the internet thru Airport Express, when it is plugged directly into the DSL modem. When I try to use a router so that all 3 computers can have internet access, I fail. Either one or the other gets the access. Well, actually, last night I tried to set the router up and only the desktop had internet access. The airport blinked a miserable amber all evening. In the morning when I came to check email, the airport was green (No laptops were on) and my desktop computer (which had only gone to sleep) had no internet access. After several failed attempts at restarting the modem, the router and the computers, still nothing is working. Can someone please help me set up a proper wired/wireless network?? I'm so frustrated....

Ok, I now understand the problem. The Farallon is not a router, but an Ethernet hub. Signals going to a hub will go to all devices connected to it simultaneously, and this doesn't work well when you have a hub connected directly to a DSL or cable modem ... since the modem is expecting only one device to be connected to it.
What you need is a router that has a built-in Ethernet switch, like the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) or a similar model from another vendor. This would then be connected directly to the modem and from there both wireless and wired computers would connect to it for Internet access.

New PowerBook AirPort and RAM issue

Sorry to re-post but thought others could benefit from this being up top here ...
I have a new 17", but have a big red flag for people.
I couldn't get the extra RAM (over 512MB) from the Apple Store where I bought it Saturday, so I ordered it online from Apple and installed it last night. Easy! Then, PROBLEMS!
After about 20 minutes online, suddenly the cursor's skittering around, CPU spikes to 100% and stays there (kernel_task, owned by root, takes over), and AirPort drops. Can't find any networks, and stays offline. Only known fix is a reboot.
I checked MacFaxIt and see these exact symptoms are an issue, supposedly acknowledged as a bug by Apple, with mid-2005 iBooks. I guess you can add late-2005 PowerBooks to that list.
Looks like the key is to keep RAM usage under 1GB, which is not necessarily easy to do (and goes without saying, should not be something you need to manage). For example, loading a lot of tabs automatically in Safari kills AirPort pretty consistently. Loading a lot of widgets does the same.
I'm walking on eggshells with this PowerBook, constantly checking CPU usage and AirPort connectivity, NOT something I want to have to be thinking of.
So be careful adding RAM. My last PowerBook (very last gen) had 1.5 GB and NO PROBLEM.
I don't know of any timeline for a fix, and am more than a little upset that (1) the problem exists on a $3,000 machine, (2) Apple has known about it since late summer, and gladly sells you the RAM (caveat emptor), and (3) the in-your-face that the PB and iBook are probbbbbably kinda sorta the same, under the hood! So I'm telling myself that yes, it's a SOFTWARE problem with OS X, the extra RAM, and AirPort. Works for me ...

I MAY have a potential solution.
I had the same problem as others, bought the Powerbook with 1 GB Apple memory and then I added another 1 Gig of Kingston brand memory. Almost immediate problems and after a reboot, the problems would come back in 5 minutes or less.
I called Apple and they refused to even acknowledge that it was a known issue.
OTOH, the tech had me remove the new 1 GB memory stick and of course the Airport card worked perfectly after that.
Anyway, when I put the memory card back in, I seated it quite firmly before I "folded" it down into the latches.
Bottom line is that Airport has now been working for over 4 hours with no problems.
Can anyone else who is having the problem please try this & post the results. If the solution is this simple, it would be a wonderful thing.
The System Profiler showed that the memory was there before I reseated it, so if it is just a bad card install, System Profiler does not pick it up.

Airport and network problems after recent update

I want to know if someone is aware of what went wrong with the latest OS updates, all my computers forget my local wireless connection and sometimes I'm connected to my co-workers unprotected red. Airport just won't do its job.
This issue is really frustrating since several applications like Flash for example give you and error when saving a file after reconnecting to your network after a network loss.
If someone knows how to work this around to stop this annoying behavior please advise, I'm sure I am not the only one experiencing this.
Regards

Dear Eyewake,
I have had the same problem recently, after QuickTime 7.1.1 upgrade. The only way I can now get wireless access is to leave the network unprotected at factory settings. At least one other person posting to this discussion list has this problem in the last week, but no replies.
Do you know where else we can try to get help?

HELP: My ARD 3.1 cannot control iBook on Airport Express network

I use my ARD 3.1 on my Intel iMac OS 10.4.8 fine to control machines in my network and several out of network that are NOT using a router.
My sister's iBook, Mac OS 10.4.8 is giving me headaches as I cannot connect to it via ARD. She has everything in the top section checked in System Preferences>Sharing>Apple Remote Desktop>Access Priviledges and her firewall in Sharing is turned off with Apple Remote Desktop checked. She does not have VNC checked.
We have accessed her Airport Express via the Airport Admin Utility and in Port Mapping, we individually added 3283, 5900, 5988 under both public and private port and hit update and restarted the iBook. Note that she is the ONLY machine on her network that is password protected, so the end of her Private Address showed 201.
Then in ARD, I went to Scanner, pulled down to Network Address and typed in her external IP (69.xxx.xxx.xxx) which we easily obtained via the widget iStat. I know her admin user name and password for the iBook and entered it.
However, when I try to connect, I get an error message "Connection failed to cpe-69-xxx-xxx.xxx.nyc.res.rr.com"
Something so little has got to be off. Help! I've done so much reading on this, but I'm stuck.
Thanks so much!

You kinda lost me. Her private address is static since she is the only one on her network, right?
I have no idea what bridging is.

Airport and network printer

Well, everything works fine. Internet and mail. But I cannot print. Airport is plugged into an ethernet network. The printer is in it too. A GCC Laserprinter Elite XL 40. Yes, apple talk is acitvated. When I try to ping the printer it says 100 % loss. Could it be the dsl router?

Use AirPort Admin Utility to disable that option. This picture shows the option enabled. You want it DISABLED.

Unsure with airport and network

Hi all,
Basically my powerbook never came with an airport card (i'm sure it wasn't supposed to?), and when I go home I want to connect to my parents wireless network.
I'm unsure of what I need to buy, for instance would an airport extreme card work with my mac:
Machine Name: PowerBook G4 12"
Machine Model: PowerBook6,1
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (3.3)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 867 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
Memory: 256 MB
Bus Speed: 133 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.5.5f4
And as such I can try it out in my student union but won't be able to set it up at home until I get back to spain. So at the moment, it is really just knowing what to buy?
Thanks!
Miss T

Hi there.
ALL 12-inch PowerBooks were Airport Extreme (802.11g) ready. Airport Cards (802.11b) don't work with our machines. In fact, the last models to roll-off the line came with Airport Extreme already installed. The 867 MHz models had it as a build-to-order option.
Here are your options.
1) Get the darn card already!! =) It's only $29.99 at the Apple Store for a refurbished product.
Refurbished Airport Extreme Card: $29.99-- Apple Store
2) You can go third party, but at this point, you'll spend MORE money that that $29.99 refurb card from Apple. $35 on eBay if you don't get one from Apple in time. The only ones that I know work with computers that don't have a card slot are from:
Hawking Wireless, known for their under-publicized Mac compatibility (though not every product they make is compatible, just a select few)
The best of the best is MacSense, who make various Mac products not usually found at the big places like Apple, Best Buy, or CompUSA. They are found at Fry's Electronics and online resellers (sometimes, "mom and pop" Mac shops).
You'll want either of the AeroPad lines, which have USB 2.0 connectivity. (Unless you have a 15-inch PowerBook and posted on the 12-inch forum by mistake. Then you have some other choices out there, but you'll have to do some research as to which cards work, such as Belkin, Buffalo, etc.).
**Again, Apple themselves has it refurbished for only $29.99 Go for it already!
P.S. If you need help once you get home to your parents and try to connect there, let me know. I can try and help you with that too.

Home airport and touch issue

Have had a 2g touch for a week now and have problem with home airport wifi. I've searched and tried all the recommeed fixes and even reverted to 2.2. I get all the bars but then I lose them and get them back again even though I'm right on top of the station. And my g4 PowerBook which is right there has no issues. I can get a page every so often but then get message that I'm not connected or server not responding. But my PowerBook is fine. The station is connected to westell modem.
Anyone else have issues like this with airport? It works fine at other wifi sites. Thanks for any help

Thanks for help lenn. You were pretty much right on. I searched airport forums and they mentioned unplugging the airport for five min. It's working now at home for the longest time since getting the touch. Crossing my fingers. Thanks again

Safari and Network issue

I am having an issue with Safari, ITunes, System Update and Mail connecting to the network. I know my network is working because Firefox works just fine; that is what I am using to post this message. Also, I have ran network diagnostics a number of times and it claims to be working fine. Every time I try one of these programs a message will appear such as: "The network connection was refused. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again", "Software update cannot check for updates because of a network problem", or "Safari can’t open the page because it could not connect to the server."
I have already tried restarting the computer, unplugging all the lines to my DSL, turning the DSL modem off and on, repairing disk permissions, using the Cocktail Utility, and, as I stated above, I have ran network diagnostics.
So far, all efforts have proven futile.
Mac Mini (G4) Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Okay...
Just in case anyone else has this issue, this is how I fixed it. I just kinda stumbled onto this solution. I have no idea whatsoever how this works, but it does.
I went into System Preferences, clicked on Network, and then clicked on Proxies. In the box "Web Proxy (HTTP)" was selected. I unselected it and clicked "Apply Now". All my problems then mysteriously vanished.

I had iPad for about 5 months. I had no problem until recently with the page mark and highlight in ibook. I can't seem to mark the pages(no respond) Sometimes it marks the previous page and when I highlight the sentence, it highlights it and also
highlights couple of streaks all the way bottom of pages on different pages.
Can anyone help resolve this problems? Thank you.

Ya, only thing that is odd is that I haven't heard or seen anyone with a similiar issue. I would think they would make it compitable to a new laptop especially a laptop which they express to have extreme mobility and power.
Someone else here with a Retina MacBook might be able to report whether they are experiencing problems with IBA on their machine.
But here is the other issue, no matter what setting I put it on the chapter pages are all broken up with white area in between. Its really odd. I have tried deleting and re-installing the application but nothing changes.
If you've re-installed IBA, you've probably done all you can. If there is an Apple Store in your area, you could take the MacBook to their Genius Bar and see whether they can help.
So it seems like a screen size issue, but why wouldnt they fix that.
Possibly, you are just the first one to notice?

2010 Mac Mini display and network issues after Mountain Lion installation

I just installed Mountain Lion on my 2010 Mac Mini, but now the display won't work and it isn't showing up on my network. I have it hooked up to my TV (I don't have another screen for it) via HDMI. Also, I've mainly used this computer by using the share screen function with my laptop, so I don't have a keyboard or mouse for it either. The Mini is no longer showing up on my laptop's network list... Any suggestions?

I would see if you borrow a USB keyboard and mouse
from some one, because otherwise trouble shooting the
problem will be next to impossible as sometimes the fixes
and diagnostics require the keyboard (PRAM reset, Hardware
Test, etc.).

IBook G3 Backlight and sleep issues

About a month ago, I woke my iBook up, and the backlight wasn't on, so I tryed restarting, turning the brightness up, ect. and it still doesn't work. But if I close the lid almoast all the way, the backlight lights up. Also it doesn't go to sleep when I close the lid anymore.
I know that it is either the LCD to Motherboard cable, or the Inverter.
Anyone know what is wrong and what part is bad?

Since the angle of the display is involved, it sounds like the backlight (inverter) cable is being pinched in the hinge.
Check out the thread entitled 90 degrees and black out!!!! in the Displays forum.
This is the part:

If you are in the U. S., DT & T Computer Services charges $125 plus shipping to and from Fremont, California to fix this. They have a six-month warranty. They are not Apple Authorized.
Dominion Tech in Colchester, Vermont used to do the repair for $79.90, but I'm not sure if that price is still in effect. You could call and ask.
Good luck.

Trying to connect iBook with iMac with Airport and Ethernet

I have just purchased a wireless router, and all works fine connecting to the internet from the iBook (with Airport) and via an ethernet cable on the iMac.
To share files from the iMac on the iBook I have no problems when the two computers are connected with the Ethernet cable either directly or through the router. However, when I try to connect to the iMac from the iBook using Airport (iMac still connected with cable to router), although the iMac icon shows, when I press 'connect' I get the message "no response from the server. Please try again".
What else do I need to do / what settings on which computer do I need to alter? All advice gratefully received! iMac 9.2.2 / iBook G4 OS 10.3.9 Mac OS 9.2.x
iMac / iBook Mac OS 9.2.x

Jaelke, Welcome to the discussion area!
More than likely your wireless router isn't bridging AppleTalk from the wireless network to the wireless network.
From your iBook, try typing in the IP address of the iMac when attempting to connect to the iMac.
