Ibook G3 upgrade to Tiger (Airport no longer works)

I have had my Ibook G3(384 MB ram, 20 GB HD, 600mhz, dual USB 2.0, 1 firewire, OS X 10.2, Airport)for over 2-1/2 years without any problem. I also have been using Netgear wireless router with 2 laptop pcs and 2 Apple computers (Imac G5 2Ghz, 2Gb ram, 20" and this Ibook G3) for over a year without any problem. Just recently bought Tiger to upgrade the Ibook. Everyhting seem to work except the Airport (wireless power bars remain dead). You would think that Tiger OS would make it simpler to set-up your computer after the upgrade. In this case the Airport just wouldn't work. It was perfectly fine with Jaguar. Why the upgrade??? It just made sense to upgrade since a lot of apple peripherals would comonly work with both the Imac G5 and this Ibook. Made a call to Apple tech support.. He was unable to help. He suggested to make an appointment with the "genius" corner at a local apple dealer.
Does anyone out there exeprienced this same problem I'm having after an OS 10.4 upgrade ?
Thx.

Since upgrading to Tiger Stuffit no longer works.

Since upgrading to Tiger, Stuffit no longer works. I cannot send an email with file compression selected, because it gives me an error message: The action could not be completed, an unknown internal program error has occurred.
I had been using version 9, but on the advice of Allume tech support, I uninstalled it, downloaded and installed Stuffit Deluxe 10.0.1. Twice. There are no error messages, as the program simply does not open. It is available in the dock, when I double click it, it will bounce once or twice and appear to be opening, and then stop bouncing. If I drag a file onto the icon, it bounces twice and then stops, no compressed file is created. If I go directly to the application folder and open the application, it looks like it will open, it places an icon in the doc for a split second, and then it goes away. Stuffit Expander, however, works fine.
Allume has stopped answering my inquiries because they can't figure out what's going on. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Prior to ugrading to Tiger did you repair your hard drive and permissions? Did you do a true Upgrade install or an Archive and Install? If you did an Upgrade install what version of OS X did you upgrade? If you did an Archive and Install, then try reinstalling Stuffit.
To repair the hard drive and permissions do the following:
Boot from your OS X Installer. Be sure to use the installer for the version of OS X you have installed. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (or Utilities menu if using Tiger.) After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.1.1 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Upgraded to Tiger, iTunes no longer works

I updated iTunes when it popped up in Software Update a week or two ago. I upgraded to Tiger tonight from 10.3.9. Before the update to Tiger, iTunes worked fine in 10.3.9. Now it does nothing at all. When I click on the icon in the dock, it bounces once and then nothing.
I found on another post where someone suggested trashing the com.apple.iTunes.plist from the Users>Library>Prefs folder. No luck there either. I haven't moved any of my music or the library for the exception of backing it up to a external FW drive.
Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I've downloaded and installed iTunes 7 from VersionTracker. That did the trick!

Upon upgrading iPhoto, iPhoto Help no longer works. It gives the error message: "The selected topic is currently unavailable. To see all iPhoto Help, you must be connected to the Internet." Help!?

I tried upgrading permissions but it did not help!? Can anyone tell me what is wrong? Thanks

Try
Reboot the computer, see if that fixes it.
Then try:
Backup your files off the computer (not TimeMachine) and disconnect
Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk and simply reinstalling OS X
Log in and update to 10.6.8
c boot off the 10.6 disk again and use Disk Utility >Repair Disk
reboot and all should be fine, except some third party programs that install kext files, those will have to be reinstalled from fresh sources.

Firefox 7 is forcing me to fill out a form field that isn't required. I've used FF on this site for years but when I upgraded to FF7 it no longer works. IE it works fine.

Firefox 7 is forcing me to fill out a form field that isn't required. I've used FF on this site for years but when I upgraded to FF7 it no longer works. IE it works fine.

It's our internal applicant tracking systems (resume database). It works fine in IE and all previous verisons of FF but in FF 7 a bubble icon pops up stating that "Please fill out this field".
The field is not required but states "Require all of these words" if you to run a search based on those parameters.

After update Airport no longer works

Hey All,
I've had my PBG4 for over a year now and have a APE Base to go with it. About a month or so ago I ran the apple update program and walked away while all the programs were installing. Upon rebooting my laptop I no longer see my base station at all. The base station is located 4 inches from the laptop while I'm home. I do no remember which patches were installed at the time. I am assuming that it was an AirPort patch that is causing this issue but I can't tell it if it was the base station that upgraded or the airport card.
Currently I am cabled into the base station directly but I'd like to be able to go wireless so I can use the laptop around the house again.
Anyone got any info/ideas on this?
Also I'd revert back to an old version to test it out but I read in a couple of posts that you can't scale back.

Hi there BDAqua...
I used this Pacifist software and followed instructions on this thread, rebooted, nothing seemed to change. Repaired permissions, nothing changed... I thought, oh well! Maybe I'll go to my local (Warsaw Poland) Apple repair centre.
Sadly, I put my computer to sleep, about an hour later, opened it up with ethernet cable attached for internet, and noticed the wireless icon was now dark... lo and behold, clicked on it and my network was checked (this after having had my password "rejected" a million times before) and ... I carefully slipped the ethernet cable out of the socket... and I was still connected.
So my wireless is working again, since doing all that stuff (back to prior firmware version) but for the life of me I don't know why, since it didn't seem to be fixed immediately after all that tinkering and rebooting! Any thoughts?? Did I actually do something that fixed it (must be, since I finally fooled around with it after almost 3 weeks of no wireless) or was this just random??
This is far too un-Apple-ish, by the way! I was used to this with PCs, but first time I've ever had to get so technical with my Mac!

I have just installed iOS7 and now is my Airport no longer working. Very irritating. Has anybody an answer to this problem ?

Just installed iOS7 and now my Airport express is no longer working. Very frustrating. Who has a solution to this problem.

I'm curious what's happening for others with Airport Express devices that aren't working. In my case, it's simply now impossible to get sound coming out of it. All my devices and computers initially THINK it should work - they all show the Airport Express. But when I try to play, it doesn't work, with slightly varying responses:
iPhone 5 and iPad 2, both on iOS7: if I choose the Airport Express, they continue to play as if through the Airport for about 20 seconds (with progress along the little progress/scrub bar), and then just stop playing. No error message or anything.
On my computer, through iTunes 11.1: it thinks for a while, with the "Connecting to ___'s Airport Express" thing going at the top of the screen, until I get the "An error occurred while connecting to the airplay device ... the network connection timed out" message. The little chevron (?) in the upper left side, that lets us "Choose which speakers to use", becomes orange rather than blue, and when I click on that, the Airport Express listing now has an exclamation mark inside a warning sign.
On an iPhone 4, with iOS6: basically the same as with the iOS7 devices. It seems to "think" it's playing through the Aiport Express, and then after about 30 seconds just reverts to the iPhone speaker and stops playing, with no error message.
Note that through all this the Airport Express has its green light and seems to think it's working fine, with an "Excellent" connection, according to the Airport Utility.
I've tried turning basically everything off and on; everything is as up to date as I can make it, except that iPhone 4; I've forgotten and added networks; I've reset network settings; I've added and taken away a password from the Airport Express Airplay speakers (because, hey, why not). I'm not sure what else there even is to do: maybe tomorrow I'll head in to an apple store and see if I can use the AirPlay from my iPhone to play on one of their Airport Expresses? If they even have any set up?
Outside chance of the cause - could my wifi network somehow be confused because it's dealing with both iOS6 and iOS7? Does that make any sense at all? (Not that my wife is going to be the least bit eager to upgrade to iOS7 after hearing me swear profusely over the past couple of days!)

Upgrade to Tiger, Safari won't work... Help.!!!

I just upgraded to Tiger from Panther. Safari no longer works... I am not computer savvy and I can't figure out what to do. I know it is not my connection because I.E. is working fine,, although a few sites said I was Forbidden. What?? Please Help! I am running on an imac G5.

Lily's Mom:
Questions:
1. Do you have internet apps SpeedDownload, iGetter, PithHelmet, Acid Search, Safari Enhancer ? Or Norton or Virex? Sometimes non-apple internet apps need updating or uninstalling. If you do, let us know which ones and which version, please.
2. Do you have one of the new iMac Intel Duo's?
In the meanwhile, do these, OK?
Have you done these?
1. Empty your cache & History settings via the Safari menu
2. Trash your Icons Folder:
HD>Users>Home>YourName>Library>Safari -->Icons
Restart Safari and a new folder will be automatically regenerated.
(This folder saves favicons of all the sites you visit. Needs cleaning periodically -- or you can change that file's preferences to "Read Only"
rather than "Read & Write." This will keep it from growing in size.)
3. Launch Font Book and check all fonts for duplicates. A duplicated font will have a bullet beside the font family and you can resolve duplicates by selecting the font and at the menu bar, go to Edit > Resolve Duplicates.
Do this for each font with a bullet next to it.
If you're still having problems:
4. Shut down your computer . . . unplug the computer, modem, and router, if you have one. Let everything sit for 2-3 minutes. Plug everything back in, start up your modem & router, then restart your computer.
Hope this helps

Airport no longer works after update.

I occasionally use my imac as a base station to connect a laptop to the internet via airport. Since installing the recent security updates my laptop can no longer see a network (I also connect via a pda and this no longer works either).
Airport indicates full signal strength but clearly there is no network.
Tried deleting prefs but still wont work.

Problems after upgrade: Leopard to Leopard no longer works

My sister upgraded to Leopard on her iMac(c2d) to Leopard yesterday. Earlier in the day we were able to do video chats with a number of people(her machine Tiger to Fathers machine Leopard). However, since upgrading, we've experienced weird behavior for video chats. Basically in her window she won't see her image(the small one), and I don't see her at all. We've tested this out with a number of other iChat accounts and get the same results. Btw, all machines that are chatting with her are using Leopard. Also, all other forms/capabilities work: screen sharing, sharing of pictures, audio chats.
Anyone out there have similar problems after upgrading from Tiger to Leopard? I have done the usual adjustments of bandwidth and QT settings, as well as restarts. What else should I try?
tia,
n

I finally resolved this problem: I think the issues/steps would be helpful for anyone who experiences iSight off or not working problems after upgrading to Leopard(then to 10.5.1) on a intel 20" iMac :
Problem:
-If you have an internal iSight on an iMac and your camera works fine in Tiger
-If you upgrade to Leopard
-If Chat camera doesn't show your image (iSight off) even though the green light is on
-You can see the other persons video on iChat
-Your friends can here you and you can share screens, files, etc.....everything but have them see you
These are the initial steps I took:
- Deleted the pLists(or stored preferences for the Application) described at the top of this thread
- Was told it might be slow internet connection so did various things: disconnected other computers, changed wireless to "G" only
- Specifically Opened of ports spec'd for Leopard on router (even though I hadn't needed to do this under Tiger)
- Tried chats with various people on various fast/slow networks
- Restarted all aspects of the network: router, wireless access point, computer
- Checked to see if the iSight was shown in 'System Profiler'. It was found in 'About This Mac->More Info->System Profiler->USB'
- Clicked Video icon in iChat Buddies window(to the right of your name) and coudn't see my image
- Opened 'PhotoBooth' and coudn't see my image(black screen)
- Opened iMovie and couldn't capture video via the iSight(black screen)
- Opened iChat->Preferences->Video and couldn't see my image
- Validated that 'Camera is Enabled' in iChat->Video->Camera is Enabled
If you are experiencing a similar problem with you built-in iSight, I would probably focus on the last 5 things that I did. What they showed me was that the iSight was just not capturing video even though it was capturing sound in 3 different applications.
The solution to iSight Off or iSight Not Responding or No Video is......reset your computer! I had thought my sister performed this but it turns out she hadn't. Here's the link to this procedure:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303446
Very easy to do though: Power off computer and unplug all cables, including power cable for at least 15 seconds. Plug everything back in and power up the computer and retry clicking on the 'Video' icon next to your login name. If you see yourself then...problem is solved.
While I eventually found posts in several other forums, it took me the better part of a week. To try this simple step. I wish I had done so straight away. Oy. I guess I learned a lot about ports, speed etc.
I hope this helps.

Airport no longer working after latest updates

After my latest software updates, the Airport on my 13" Macbook is no longer working.
I can connect to networks and can get full signal from the wireless router in my home, yet none of my browsers can actually connect to the internet.
I've tried multiple wireless connections and none function properly. Suggestions?
I'm currently connected directly to my NETGEAR router via ethernet

Experiencing similar issue.
Wired works forever without any issue. Wireless (airport) works for a while (random 2-60 minutes, could be related to data volume) then gets stuck. At that point getting back to wire (without reseting the airport AP) solves it. Also, cycling the airport client (disable/enable) gets it to work for a few minutes... until it gets stuck again. Other devices (iPhone, iPod touch) connected to the same airport AP do get access while the macbook is stuck.
Thought this could be 11n related since the macbook is the only device running 11n. However, while wireless http/web access is stuck on the macbook one can still perform ftp connections (bit no file transfer as such), pings and/or access the time machine configuration (some of this seems to be randomly working) from that macbook. Not sure whether 11n handles short bursts and large bursts differently?
Finally, the behaviour is the same whether using Safari or Firefox and relaunching eitehr app does not solve it.
Clueless for now.

Hi Andy!
What size is the Hard Drive, and how much space is avaialble?
How much RAM is installed, and is it original or added?
Did you use a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, to upgrade?
Did you do an Archive & Install, preserving User settings & preferences, installation, and if so, is the Previous System folder still on the HD?

HELP! - airport no longer working after upgrade

I performed the software update tonight (it prompted me for the first time tonight) to update the Airport Extreme Update 2007-001. Since I made the 'upgrade' I can no long connect to my home network nor any network I can usually get. How can I either fix this or roll it back?
I have tried restarting, turning on and off the airport card. What else.
Thanks,
Dan

Try trashing...
/Users/nnnnLibrary/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
and the airport plist wherever that is... not on anAirport machine at the moment.
Then reboot and set up your Networks again.
