IBook g3 and iMacg5 can't connect to new AEBS

Hi,
Having trouble getting my two macs to acquire the signal from my new AEBS. Did the setup via ethernet and everything appears ok. I can connect with ethernet connected but not wirelessly. ibook has airport card imac AE card. All worked well with AXP about an hour ago. help. I convinced my wife this was the way to go and now I'm hearing it...

I got the iBook working. My problem was twofold. I named the AEBS the same name as my AXP. Bad idea. Renamed and cleared out my "preferred networks" on the iBook. The AEBS setup was flawless and the iBook immediately acquired the network. The iMac still will not but that is nothing new. I truly believe the iMac has serious receptivity issues. I've been having this issue since we got it two years ago. The forums are full if people having the same issues. SO I'll be hooking the iMac up with an ethernet cable... Not optimum but workable.
Just for the record, I have opened up the iMac and reseated the Airport Xtreme card, TWICE. Either the card is faulty (it was factory installed, originally, by the way) or the connection is bad.

12" PB can't connect to new AEBS

I just upgraded my AEBS from the older 'UFO' model to the newest model. I have security set up as WPA/WPA2. My 12" PowerBook 867MHz running 10.3.9 cannot connect now, even if I turn network security off. Is this model PB incompatible with the new AEBS?
Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't create a new user, but I used another user on the PB. That one was also unable to connect, so I copied com.apple.airport.preferences.plist to the desktop and deleted the old one. That still didn't fix the problem, so I checked the password stored in the keychain. Since I reused the old network name from my old AEBS, there was an entry there, with the old password. I changed the password and was able to connect after two attempts (the first resulted in a message that the base station didn't support the security I had chosen - WPA).
I then switched to the primary user and tried deleting the airport keychain entry. This still did not allow me to connect, so I deleted apple.airport.preferences.plist again. This still did not allow me to connect. In frustration I clicked 'Try Again' three more times, and then I was able to connect!
This is still a little weird - if I disconnect and then try to reconnect, I get the error message. If I click 'try again' a few times I am able to connect! This is still not a 100% solution but at least I can get on the network.
Thanks for your help!

My iTunes wont update, and I can't connect my new iPhone if it doesn't update. It says error when I try to update, and I cant download it because of a "Windows Installer" error...

I just not a new iPhone and in order to sync it I need the newest iTunes, but I can't update it! I tried checking for updates and then trying to downlaod it. I get this error: "Errors occured while installing the updates. If the problem persists, chose Tools > Download Only and try installing manually."
Where on earth is Tools anyway?
When I tried just reinstalling all of iTunes, I had a Windows Installer error...I don't even know what that is!

tools is at the top of the apple updater but dont get your hopes up

My iPod was stolen last week. Its offline, not connected to internet and I don't know what to do! And I can't connect it to the internet to find it because, once again, it was stolen! Please help!

I got this for Christmas and its one of the only convient ways to communicate with my aunt who is currently living in another country! Someone stole it and its not connected to wifi or online. This happened last week and I just got it 2 weeks ago but I didn't know what to do then...I never installed any app for tracking or anything like that and I can't afford a new one! Even with the discount! Someone please help me.

Sorry, but if you didn't set up Find My iPod, and/or the iPod is not turned on or otherwise connected to the Internet, there's no way to track it nor affect it in any way. Notify the police and change the password to your Apple ID and any other applicable online services.
Regards.

Safari and Youtube can't connect to server

Safari and Youtube can't connect to server but I can use iTunes online store. Isn't that strange? Any ideas why?
I use static ip-adresses on my home network with a WEP 128bit security. I have entered all configuration that I enter under tcp/ip properties on my but there is one property on the touch that I don't recognise from my PC and that is someting that translated could be named "Search Domains". It's the last property under the static wireless config tab.

I have no idea what I am doing... but once i changed the proxy (HTTP) my life is just miserable, no sites open, like its really annoying. Do you know how to fix it.

You can use any computer but your data will be lost if you have no backup.

You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
This will tell you how to restore

You will probably need to use recovery mode

HT4623 I just got an iPhone 4, and I can not connect it with my iTunes. I tried to set up a new iTunes account but it says that my security code is wrong, even when everything is correct. What should I do?

I just got an iPhone 4s, and I can not connect it with my iTunes from my previous account. I have already tried making another account, however it says that I have the wrong security code even though this is not true. What should I do?

Contact iTunes support. There's a link to it on the bottom of every page in the iTunes store.

I changed my password on Airport Express and now can't connect in iTunes. It does not ask for password ,I just see trying to connect and it fails. How do I enter new password in iTunes when it just keeps trying to connect ?

When I select the Airport Express as Remote Speaker in Itunes I just see trying to connect and it can't connect.
I changed my password on the Airport and I don't see where I can put in the new password in Itunes.
This problem is on my Imac. On my Mac Pro a window came up asking for password to connect because it was the first time.
I can connect on the Mac Pro but not my Imac.

Update on my problem connecting in Itunes with my Airport Express. Not sure if anything I tried made a difference
but I finally got the Pop up window saying this device requires a Password. I entered the password and I can once again use the Airport Express as a remote speaker.

Facetime between iPad2 and MacBook Air worked fine here in the USA. The iPad2 is now in Rome, Italy and we can't connect internationally. We both can hear the caller ringing in, but after accepting the call we cannot connect. No voice, no video.

I am curious if possibly the hotel has some sort of VOIP block on. Have you tried Skype? Did you talk to the hotel staff? My husband is traveling to Milan in a couple of days and I wonder if he will run into the same issue. He has had no problems from Istanbul but he is staying in a corporate apartment there. If you find an answer please post back. Thanks

I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2. My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone). I was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did.
