IMac Airport Wireless from UK not working in New Zealand

I have a iMac that i bought in the UK but now live in New Zealand and i cannot get the wireless internet. Sometime s i can connect however often it is slow and drops out. then when i try to reconnect the internet times out. Iv tried changing the security encryption to no avail.
every other computer works on the network fine, i can only think it must be something to do with the airport region.
does anyone know or have experienced similar problems from moving accessing wireless internet from a different country other than where they purchased there mac from?
any help or feedback would be much appreciated

Hi,
At least according to the AirPort Extreme (802.11n draft) specifications, there are certain channel differences between New Zealand and other countries/regions. I do not know whether this, somehow, could have something to do with the difficulties in question (normally, in the case of a channel problem, a connection should not be possible). Which iMac model is it? Which base station is used? Did you buy the base station and the other computers locally?
Have you tried moving the iMac a bit? Is there a cordless phone near the iMac? This article about interference could perhaps be of interest.

HT3917 My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed

My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed.

Do you get a steady green light to say there is a connection. If not, are the batteries the right way round. Do you have a monitor to tell the batteries strength. Is there a reading. Are the batteries good quality ones, Duracell, Energiser or Apple rechargeables.

Printing wirelessly from computer not working

I am trying to print wirelessly from my computer but when trying to print a word document, it does not work. In the "select printer" tab, the only options available to me are Fax (USB) and Fax (Network)...the printer is in "fax" mode and it will not allow me to print the document.
I do not have a landline and therefore do not need the fax option but it seems to have been automatically set and I do not know how to change it.
How can i set up my word/excel to print wirelessly to my HP 4620, how to take off the fax?

To remove the fax driver, just right mouse and uninstall. There should another printer that is the similarly named without the "Fax", use that printer to print.
Also, how come you have Fax (USB) and Fax (Netowrk)? Did you install the driver twice, once as usb and another network? The computer can only have that printer either as usb or network, but not both.

Uk Curve not working in New Zealand

Can anyone help me.
My 8900 is unlocked but when I put a New Zealand sim in the phone it only makes calls and texts. It wont use any apps that require to get on the data network.
What do I need to do to my handset to let me onto NZ data networks?

Hello !
It doesnt make any difference from where you purchase your device.
What matters is that do you have an activated BlasckBerry Internet Service (BIS) data plan through your provider?
Hope this resolves your Problem!

Wired printer on an airport express from laptop not working

Hi,
Bougth an aiport express 2 weeks ago to replace a cisco linksys that suddenly stop working, the set up was very easy and wifi network is up and running, some devices are connected to the main network and some have issues doing it, particularly a mac laptop and a windows laptop, I created a guess network for these devices to access internet and that solved the problem however those two computers are the ones that need to print and because they are on the guess network sounds like that is not possible.
The lan port IP address on the airport is 10.0.1.1 so I assigned that IP address to the printer but somehow it doesnt work.
I had been disable and enable the credentials on the windows laptop but I'm kind of loss here.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Although your post does not mention how the scanner is connected, my guess would be that you have it connected to the USB port on the AirPort Express. Is that correct?
If yes, unfortunately, the USB port on the AirPort Express does just what Apple says it will do.....print. Other advanced functions like copy, scan, maintenance, etc are not supported.
If you need to scan a document, you will need to connect the scanner directly to your computer.

I have many projects made in imovie HD that are not updating to iMovie 10 on my new iMac. Why is this not working as stated on the article HT202853? How do I get my projects back from backup after old iMac crashed?

According to:
Update projects and events from previous versions of iMovie in iMovie (2014) - Apple Support
you can update from iMovie versions 7, 8 and 9, but iMovie HD is iMovie 6.
Maybe you can update in two steps, first from iMovie 6 to iMovie 7, 8 or 9 then to iMovie 10.

I have a Linksys WRV200 wireless router and the wireless signal is not working properly so I cannot connect to the internet wirelessly. the wireless light has a fast green blinking light. how can I fix the router?

I have a Linksys WRV200 wireless router and the wireless signal is not working properly so I am unable to connect to the internet wirelessly. The wireless light is blinking green very quickly and I connect and disconnect from the network constantly. How do I get the router to work properly

Hello James,
The flashing WLAN light means activity (data getting transferred). Try disconnecting all your devices and check whether the light is still flashing or disconnect the router from internet and do the check.
Do you have your SSID as linksys or the default one? If your neighbor has the same SSID, then traffic could result from your neighbor's one. Try changing your SSID and password. Make your security WPA/WPA2.
Hope this helps,
Thanks

How can I access applications if the wireless mouse does NOT work?

I have a new iMac (Snow Leopard) which comes with a wireless keyboard and a wireless mouse. Just in case that the wireless mouse does not work, how can I navigate through applications and the screen?
Any advice will be welcome. Thanks and cheers, Veit

Great, it works.
Let me replicate:
Shift-Command-A (on the Desktop, (but how to get there?) to open Apps, e.g System Preferences;
Arrow keys to navigate within Apps;
Command-down arrow to open a specific app;
Arrows to move around, e.g. to Magic Mouse
Space to open Magic Mouse;
Tab to move between options and arrows to change these; and Tab back to the back icon.
Thanks a lot to both of you, much appreciated your help. Cheers, Veit

Satellite A660 - Broadcom internal wireless adaptor is not working

Hi all,
My first post to this board - I have a new Toshiba Satellite A660 notebook - have only had it for about 4 weeks and it has turned out to be a disaster for me...
FIRST - I spend weeks getting everything on and configured the way I want it - then the hard disk starts to die...
I just got it back from the Toshiba service centre and NOW the wifi has stopped working...
The internal broadcom wireless adaptor is not working - but according to windows and the built in diagnostics it IS working...
HOWEVER - when I try to use wireless with the built in adaptor it can't detect any wireless networks...
I then plug in my backup usb netgear wireless adaptor and I can pick up and connect to both of my home wireless networks...
I am going overseas in a few weeks and need to know that my notebook is going to work/be reliable and not have any more problems - if anyone can help me with this it would be much appreciated.
John.

A further update for you all...
Okay - went back to the Toshiba service centre - the first dead hard disk was replaced by them - but the REAL problem not spotted - it looks like my laptop came out of the Toshiba factory with a faulty motherboard - this in turn has now fried the second hard drive - and now - with a new motherboard and THIRD hard drive it looks like the hardware side of things MIGHT just be solved - but NOW I still have the problem that because the motherboard has been screwed since day one (I only bought this laptop in November 2010) it has basically stuffed/corrupted all of my backups - so now the service centre is charging me 60 dollars to get a set of disks so I can re-image the system myself when I have the chance - and then spend a month putting back all the applications and configuration and data the way I had it after the first few weeks of buying it (at that stage I thought I was good to go and had the perfect new laptop and setup for work...)
So - I'm heading off overseas in a couple of weeks - my 3 year extended warranty from Australia will not be of any use to me where I am going - not covered - but am STILL hopeful that I'll get the rest of the problems sorted - still can't run the toshiba hdd protection software for more than a few days without it dying and having to be reinstalled and the toshiba pc health monitor does not work at all - when I go to install it it doesn't recognize the bios or whatever - and on top of that I'm using third party hard disk monitoring software (because the toshiba stuff doesn't work on this toshiba laptop - but the third party stuff does) - well, anyway - the third party software is telling me the hard disk has reallocated sectors count error - and there is a CAUTION showing all the time - which I guess indicates that there is now a hard drive problem with the third hard disk (?)
Anyway - if ANYONE has had a similar run of bad luck to mine with the A660/O7U - I'd really like to know...
John.

Wireless network adaptor not working

My wireless network stopped working, and the wireless network adaptor is not showing in the device manger. The keyboard indicator indicated wifi disabled (f12). Pushing then button does nothing. It was working fine earlier in the day. The only change made was an adjustment to text size which required a restart to take affect. The wireless adaptor did not work on the restart. Not sure what to try next to get it working again. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks,

With two routers you'd have to put one of them into bridge mode. If the linksys is the second router then change its IP from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.2.1
You'll still have WPA issues with this configuration because the linksys really is not setup to handle bridge mode very well.

Hi, is this a question" Post?
or are you just offering an insight into your Mouse Issue?
Generally and at times we all have little idiosyncrasies appearing with the running of our Macs.
I use the same Logitech BT with my MBP. MB & iBook..(not at the same time) Only ever had one issue
and the cure was to completely Delete the mouse from BT -> Repair Permissions & Reboot then Re Install the BT mouse..Ihave just put a new set of batteries in the Logitech (only 2nd set ever)...L
