IMac G5 Airport problem!!!

I just bought used iMac G5 1.8 GHz PPC 17", installed Panther from included CD's and noticed, that my home network doesn't show up in popup menu.
As I connect to my Netgear router wirelessly using iBook G4 with no problem, I used Ethernet cable to connect theese to computers and do all possibly necessary uptades for my iMac. Airport still couldn't detect the network. I swapped Airport cards in both computers, to check if there is no hardware failure and once again my iBook worked fine (on iMac card) connecting to the network auomatically, but on my iMac popup menu showed nothing but "other".
I tried o mess up with some settings, IPs, etc, but nothing worked.
When I type the name of network choosing "Other" it asks me for password which I don't simply have, though I don think it would make any difference if I had it or not. Problem must be in something else.
Any ideas? I would much appreciate any help.

"When I type the name of network choosing "Other" it asks me for password which I don't simply have, though I don think it would make any difference if I had it or not."
If your network is not encrypted you need not make any other entry besides the network name to access your network. If you are selecting an encryption type, that is a mistake, as you have no encryption (as I understand your situation).
Edit-
As you have implied, if your network is not a closed network, the name of your network should show in your iMac's AirPort icon without having to resort to selecting "Other..."
Selecting "Other..." would be used to access a closed network that does not broadcast its own name.

IMac and Airport problems

Hello All - be gentle with me - Im not very techie and Im a windows refugee! so Im not well versed in the ways of Mac fully yet!!
Im having a problem with my iMac (which i love) and airport wifi..... The iMac is 5 months old and is running OS x 10.5.6 I am using a wireless Netgear modem/router on 802.1n. I have 100% signal strength in the Airport Status bar and it connects perfectly.....however about 4-5 minutes the signal just disappears and the Airport status bar greys out and I lose my wifi connection. When you click on the Airport in the status bar, even the network name has disappeared, and then about 20 seconds later it reappears and reconnects itself automatically. Its like the card is turning itself off and then back on again and rebooting and its doing it like clockwork.
I didn't really notice it at first, but it came to light when i bought a Time Capsule - which after 10 days of failed back ups I took back to the shop thinking it was that that was faulty.
As the problem is still there, i figured it might be a router/modem issue so i got our IT guy to check all the settings and he confirmed it was properly set up and working fine.
I've just bought a Mac Air Book also running Leopard 10.5.6 and the weird thing is that the Airport connection on that is bullet proof, as is the wireless connection on my daughters Windows XP Profession SP3 lap top - which leads me to conclude it has to be either a faulty airport card in the iMac or some sort of software issue ??
Any one got any suggestions how to fix the issue - as its driving me nuts! Is this a known issue ?

OK - this is early days, but this fix touch wood appears to have worked (after spending hours on the phone to Apple Support (who in fairness were very helpful)).
We tried all the usual routes - run disk checker, resolve conflicts, moving plists out of the library - exactly the same, if not worse.
Then we tried this - which HAS worked so far - 24 hours and it hasn't dropped once.
Dig out Disc 1 that came with your mac and put in to the drive. Click on the Apple logo. and then select - OSX Software. The Mac will want to restart - let it.
You then need to tell it to install OS X again. MAKE SURE you click the Install and ARCHIVE option - if you dont it will wipe your disk and all your settings and data. The Archive option basically saves all your settings and reinstalls them once the software has reinstalled.
My iMAC came with OS X 10.5.2. - once all this had reloaded (mine took about 2hours) - airport worked fine. Then the problem arose - my iMac is set up to automatically download and install updates - after about 10 mins, it beetled off to check, then loaded and installed Mac OS X 10.5.6 update together with Aiport Utility 5.3.2; Quicktime 7.6; Remote Desktop client 3.2.2; iTunes 8.0.2; and Frontrow 2.1.6 - it managed to download the whole lot in one go - about 750mb seemlessly without falling over - as soon as it installed however - my wifi connection went down.... :o(
So I figured there had to be a problem with one of the updates - so i started from scratch again and install/archive OS X 10.5.2. I then turned off the auto install updates feature, so i could manually install each update in turn, to see which one it was that upset Airport.
I found that if you download and install the updates 1 by 1 - then Airport remains happy....
I did it in this order..
Remote Desktop
Quicktime
iTunes
Airport Utility
Front Row
OS X 10.5.6
As I say i dont know if this is a permanent fix, but in 24 hours it hasn't dropped wifi once, and that's way longer than it has survived for the last 2 months.....
I have no idea why this apparently seems to work either - but it does seem to have cured it....

New iMac 27" - Airport Problems

My new 27" iMac arrived today! I can connect to my network via ethernet (as well as the internet). However as soon as I switch Airport on, the screen goes grey and asks me to reboot.
I have reinstalled OSX twice, and check permissions, also have up applied all the software updates available.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
*"the screen goes grey and asks me to reboot"*
That called a kernel panic.
Try a different Airport channel.
Open AirPort Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a computer using Mac OS X.
Select the device you’re setting up, and then click Manual Setup. Enter the base station password if necessary
Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
Choose a new channel from the Channel pop-up menu.
Try deleting this file.
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
MacintoshHD/Library/Preferences/System Configuration.
Move that file to the Trash and restart your Mac.
Try restarting with only necessary externals, ie; mouse and keyboard.
Check to make sure your ethernet cable is connecting properly. If you are using a cable modem, disconnect it from the power source for 20 seconds and reconnect. Sometimes that helps.
If you are using a router, check the vendor site to make it's 10.6 compatible.

What's wrong with the New iMac's AirPort?

Hello
Last night I spent 4 hours trying to connect with my brand new wireless router (Netgear DG834PN). The one time I did connect and tried to configure using Netgear's Wizard (using Safari) my Mac's AirPort Extreme dropped the connection, never to return. The next 3hrs 55mins were spent trying to to get the two devices to connect. Unsuccessfully. Very frustrating!
I even tried connecting the two devices via ethernet, and still no joy. What should I do? Is my new Mac's Built-in AirPort Extreme faulty? Is my new wireless router faulty? Any other testing suggestions welcome.
I've have read, on this forum, about possible problems with the new aluminium iMac's AirPort. Is this a known fact or just a batch issue?
*Many Thanks* (Apologies if I haven't explained myself very well, first post)
Mike

*Hi it's me again*
Still no joy trying to connect to my router wirelessly via AirPort.
*+(Xiaofan & Benderissimo)+* - I can't even get as far as logging into the router via a browser. AirPort literally can't see anything even thought it's switched on. This means I have no chance to change the channel or anything else. I'm stuck.
Could AirPort be locked out or something?
On the plus side I have connected to the internet via ethernet. It was no problem at all. I basically connected a length on Cat. 5 cable from port 1 at the back of the router and into my Mac, and *hey presto!* (broadband at full speed). Happy.
The thing is I eventually want to move my iMac upstairs, this is when I need AirPort wireless to start working. I don't want to trail 100ft of Cat. 5 cable all round the house.
What else can I try to make my built-in AirPort Extreme work?
_*I'm Flummoxed, Apple help me.*_

Airport problems on new Core 2 Duo (network attachment delays)

I have just bought 17" 2GHz Core 2 Duo. Lovely machine, but I have some problems with internal Airport card.
After startup it takes about 5 seconds to attach to the WiFi network I run. Subsequently, if I load iChat automatically at login, by the time Airport comes online, iChat is already displaying "Network diagnostic" dialogue. After you OK it, iChat will not try to login anymore (as opposed to temporarily losing network after successful login where it will log back in on its own.)
Something doesn't feel right about this Airport on the iMac. After clicking Airport symbol on the top bar it takes few seconds for the menu to drop down and often accompanied with a beach ball. Ping time to a base station during these few seconds increase from 1mS to 100-200mS.
Things I have tried:
-Fresh reinstall of just basic OS X 10.4.7 from restore disks
-Using two different access points (base stations) - 3Com and D-Link
-WAP, WEP and just open network
-limit connections to 802.11b mode only (11Mbps and lower)
-Change WiFi channels and use interference robustness
-Use PowerBook G4 as a base station in computer-to-computer and Internet sharing modes
With all the above the behaviour does not change...
I have a stock iMac model with no custom options, modifications or peripherals. Signal strength is excellent.
My 17" PowerBook G4 in the same room boots up and wakes up into fully active Airport connection and it "just works" smoothly and transparently. So were all other WiFi connections I had here from Macs and PC over the years.
I have been using WiFi for 4 years and have done multiple installations including industrial networks, I am also long time Mac user so I have a feeling how it should work so I know my iMac Airport just does not work right.
I suspect it is drivers/OS issue. This is based on the fact that once established, the link works fine but as soon as OS tries to access the Airport card to reconfigure it (either at startup or prompted by the user), some hiccups and delays occur...
I wonder if anybody can confirm this behaviour or suggest something I might try to fix this... I want iMac to use WiFi as transparently as PowerBook G4.
Thanks for your time.

Thanks, smacman, the bridge solution is brilliant and would work perfectly from technical point of view, however, I am trying to showcase the "Apple experience" to some other people and at the moment I am not winning.
I am good enough to write shell scripts or even fix low-level source code in C or ASM but I don't want to waste my time fixing it...
I had a quick look and the problem seems to be with iMac's Airport being very slow during existing networks scan which REQUIRES dropping current connection as channels and modulation changes during the scan. I have locked my router to work in 802.11b mode only. If I could do the same with the Airport on iMac I am sure it would have helped a lot as no 11g or 11a networks were scanned and queried. Forcing it to connect to a specific network did not help. I can't find any file with low-level hardware settings for the Airport, otherwise I'd have a go at it. Maybe I should search Darwin community's help but most probably Apple only releases compiled binary for WiFi drivers with no access to source code or settings.
One other thought - 802.11 has a different frequency spectrum certifications in different countries and in certain areas allowed frequency range is limited. Maybe, forcing locale to e.g. France (where certified channels are only 1-7) can speed up things...
I have tried WPA2 encryption as well but I believe the problem is occurring during the network scan.

Hp4050tn connection through airport problems

Printer: HP4050TN
Computer: iMac 27" (2010) w/ OS 10.6.8
Wireless Router: Airport Extreme
Connection: Ethernet RJ45 printer to Airport
Problem: I have had this configuration since 5/2010, and a week ago for some reason the iMac would not connect with the printer. I have tried all the combinations I can think of, with reboots and restarts, to no avail. I have also tried a direct connection via ethernet to the iMac, but the print menu returns the same error, "Unable to connect to printer".
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!

Frozen iMac with Network problems

I have a 21.5 inch iMac purchased around Nov'12. Three days ago, suddenly no web page could be opened. I thought it to be a problem of my router but when I found out that I was able to use the Internet perfectly from my MacBook, I restarted my iMac but the problem remained. I shut it down & then restarted it... Now it showed only a white screen with the Apple logo on it and the waiting symbol. This remained till hours until I got irritated and switched off the power supply. I switched on the next consecutive days but the problem persisted. Today fortunately my iMac started.. The home screen has come... It is able to recognise my wifi & Ethernet but does not open any web page. Going to system preferences and then to Networks is hanging the system preferences window. When I force quit it, it says to file a report to Apple.... But the problem doesn't get solved... I always believed Apple as a company whose products never hanged up or faced hardware or software issues!!!

IMac G5 AirPort Issues - Very poor signal strength.

Disclaimer: I am normally a PC user, but just bought a iMac G5 for my son's bedroom. Problem is that I am having a **** of a time getting the iMac to stay connected to my network long enough to download a newest OS update and in general, it is very slow downloading webpages...clearly not normal...at least I hope not.
My connection is Broadband DSL to my main PC equipped with a Linksys WRT54G Broadband Router. My 2nd PC is connected wirelessly and is much further away than my iMac, but gets better reception.
Therefore, what is the deal with my iMac??? It seems to be super slow downloading the large software updates and has often timed out as they have bogged down.
As a PC guy, I am wondering is it an internal antenna issue in the iMac G5 or is it something as simple as Wi-Fi (AirPort) setting?
If is is a lousy internal antenna, what can I do to boost my signal strength? I was thinking of disabling the Wireless and buying Gaming Console access point to hard wire to the ethernet port. Is that possible? Would AirPort Express device be good for anything?
Help...I am ready to return my first Apple and go with a Dell!!!
Solutions???

Thanks Rod. Your comments were very helpful...
Apologies for the dash of sarcasm, M., but these things usually are just that simple to get running, and your Dell jokes started me down that path you know . Yes, I should have resisted the temptation.
Screen orientation really can make a difference in a low signal situation. So can simply changing the channel on which your wireless router operates (have you tried that yet?). You also can't assume that because a computer in a neighbouring room gets gets adequate signal , the one that you are working on will too. Walls, power circuits, nearby electrical gear, etc etc can all have highly localised effects with this stuff.
If, as it appears, you have adequate signal strength (I thought you indicated initially that you didn't have) and the problem is not related to local interference on the channel which the router is using (that's why you need to try a different channel) , then its time to check other aspects of the setup, both of the router and the iMac. The problem could be caused at either end.
Lets take the router first. The WRT54G usually actually works pretty well with Macs. In some cases, however, it may need a firmware update from the Linksys site. There have been quite a few different models of this particular router produced, so you'll need to check the downloads section at Linksys support for the correct one.
The best people here to answer this sort of stuff are probably Henry B. and Frank Canzolino . They both spend much of their time over in the Airport forums. If a firmware update for the router , or a simple channel change, doesn't fix the problem then I'd try posting there with "WRT54G and iMac G5 AE " displaying in the subject line.
As far as toast goes, I personally recommend asking the power company to drop the voltage for a few minutes. Saves all that time wasted knob twiddling.
Cheers
Rod

I am unable to view ATV settings from iMac using AirPort utility

I am unable to view ATV settings from iMac using AirPort utility. Having problems with ATV quitting Airplay since recently updating.

I was interested to know if I could configure, or at least view the settings of my ATV from a Mac computer. This is because I have it connected to a projector rather than a HD TV and so it is not always convenient to view settings directly from the ATV display.
Anyway I tried finding it using Airport Utility and it does not show up (Mavericks running Airport Utility 6.3.2 on one iMac and Snow Leopard running 5.6.1 on another).
When I click on File>Connect Other it asks for an IP address and password. I doubt if knowing these would allow me to connect.
The ability view settings and configure ATV from Airport Utility would be a useful feature. We should suggest this to Apple via feedback:

Airport Problem since 10.4.6

Ever since 10.4.6, I have had issue with airport. It always stays connected to my wireless network.
however, the internet will periodically stop working (happens several times a day very annoying). I have to turn off airport and turn it on again, to make internet start working again. This does not happen to my Powrbook and PC on the same network.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Sorry, this isn't a helpful reply, but I thought it might be worth pointing out that I have the same (or a very similar) problem.
I'm running a 20 inch Intel Mac, which prior to 10.4.6 suffered from that other horrible airport problem described under the 'Airport Speed Problem' threads on this forum. That has since been resolved by 10.4.6 (network speeds are normal). However, my iMac periodically loses the wireless network when I wake it up from sleep mode (I go from four bars to no signal). To get it back I usually have to switch off my airport card, put the iMac to sleep, power cycle the modem (cable) and router then start up the iMac again, and even this cumbersome routine doesn't work all of the time. I know this isn't a problem with my network because I have several other computers in the house that don't register any change or problem with signal levels or connectivity. My iBook, for example, which also runs 10.4.6 doesn't notice any change.
I'm surprised not to see more examples of this problem here, as when I spoke to a Mac genius about it, he said it was a 'known issue', though one more common to the Mac Minis. It has to be a hardware problem in my case. Maybe I need to get my airport express card checked out?

10.5 + Rev A Intel 20" iMac = Busted Airport

Hi Chaps... I'm typing this from my kitchen, where my iMac is plugged into the modem via ethernet.
Tonight I did a clean install of Leopard, and it appears to have killed my iMac's airport. I've been using wifi fine on 10.4.x. My housemate uses wifi (and still uses it) on 10.4.9. Tonight, I installed Leopard and everything went smoothly - until I tried to configure Airport. It just wouldn't connect. Doing my usual sleuth work, i spotted this in the Console:
When I turn Airport On:
26/10/07 11:50:22 PM SystemUIServer[108] Error: Apple80211Scan() error -6
26/10/07 11:50:22 PM SystemUIServer[108] Error: __performScan() failed (-6)
26/10/07 11:50:29 PM SystemUIServer[108] Error: Apple80211Scan() error -6
26/10/07 11:50:29 PM SystemUIServer[108] Error: __performScan() failed (-6)
When I try to connect to any network with or without encryption:
26/10/07 11:54:04 PM SystemUIServer[108] Error joining Diskonet: Connection timeout (-6 timeout connecting)
And I get this error message:
http://users.on.net/~disko/leopardairport.png
As a troubleshooting method, I put my mac mini into target disk mode and booted from it on my iMac. It connected to the wifi perfectly and at full reception - which proves that it isn't a hardware problem.
Does anyone have any idea on how i can go about fixing this? :/

I just filed a bug on what might be a related issue. I can't connect to one of my two Apple Airport base stations. The one configured to use WEP works correctly. The one configured to use WPA won't connect with a -7 error.
Try connecting via a wire and reconfiguring the access point either as an open network or using WEP and see if the problem goes away. If so, the best I can suggest to do is to file a bug at http://bugreporter.apple.com and hope it gets fixed quickly.

Airport problem on Kids account

I have a problem after reading the latest Macworld I decided to change the security settings on my airport. I changed it to WPA personal. Both my computer and the wife's iMac run fine with no airport problems.
My kids account though will not accept the airport network password. I have it written down and made sure I typed it in right everytime, but everytime I get a warning saying the password is incorrect. Yes the written password is the same as the network password.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi Quack,
What computer is your kids using?
I assume you are using the same password you used on your wife's iMac after you set up the WPA Personal Security?
Also, I assume you checked the password your are using here:
Airport Admin Utility, select your Airport, select Configure, click on Password in the top menu bar.....the password for this Airport will appear.
Please respond back I would like to help further.....

Setup AExpress to share internet w/ iMac (internal Airport)

Thw iMac in house is sharing internet through on board airport: "House Computer" over Network Fastaccess DSL/Airport connection. Home office is in backyard and signal is weak so I bought a Airport Express.
When I run iMac's Airport Utility it sees the new Airport Express but doesn't recognize the onboard wireless signal so I can configure the AEx?? If I try to walk through the utility for the new device it won't let me?? Also it makes me turn off the internet sharing of the iMac.
The Airport Express is new (5/2010) the iMac is 2 years old and on OS 10.4...

Hello Rae Nell Hunter. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Sorry, but you cannot use the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) to extend the wireless range of the built-in AIrPort Extreme Card in your iMac.

ITunes 6.0.5 and Airport Problem

A short description of my recent problem is that iTunes 6.0.5 crashes my wireless connection when streaming music to my stereo via an Airport Express. The problem was repeatable and frequent. Reverting to iTunes 6.0.4 seems to make all the problems go away.
Before updating my MacBook recently to 10.4.7 from 10.4.6, and updating from iTunes 6.0.4 to 6.0.5, I updated my bootable system backup on an external Firewire drive, first repairing permissions.
After updating my MacBook, everything associated with the Airport Express seemed to function perfectly, except I had massive problems with attempting to stream music from iTunes. When first choosing in iTunes to connect to the external wireless target, music would begin playing and then my entire airport connection would dispappear within seconds. The menu bar throughput icon would go from 4 bars to nothing and my network SSID would disappear from the drop down. After toggling the airport on and off for a while, along with toggling the iTunes external/internal target control, I could eventually finagle a stable connection, which would last for maybe 15 minutes at a time. Then the connection would drop.
I happened to be one of the early 10.4.7 upgraders who used the non-combo updater, so when Apple announced that files were missing from the delta updater, I downloaded the new version and repeated the upgrade (successfully, indicated by the suffix on the new build number). Again a perfectly stable wireless connection through the 133 MB download; wireless works fine as long as iTunes is not involved.
The problem persisted after the 10.4.7 re-upgrade. I then tried booting from my external drive backup, into 10.4.6 and iTunes 6.0.4. The problem went away.
I then restored iTunes 6.0.4 from my backup to my internal drive, replacing 6.0.5. So far, everything is working perfectly again, with iTunes 6.0.4 under OS 10.4.7.
The airport problem seemed to be entirely on the MacBook side, not the Airport Express, since I never saw the Airport light change from green and the displayed connection time has stayed at x days and counting across all the times the airport connection disappeared, including when booted from the external drive.
So based on my experience, it would appear that there is a problem with iTunes 6.0.5. Anyone else see similar behavior or, conversely, can confirm that they are successfully streaming from a configuration similar to a MacBook through an Airport Express with iTunes 6.0.5 and OS 10.4.7?
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Just to bring closure to this thread, I am now successfully using iTunes 6.0.5 with OS 10.4.7: the problems I reported have disappeared.
Contrary to my original post, with more use I saw some drop-out problems with 6.0.4, though far less severe than with 6.0.5.
It occurred to me that maybe what I was seeing was due to the iTunes app paging, but I could find no direct evidence of that.
It then happened that I began experiencing the random shutdown problem that some MacBook users have reported (many posts in the MacBook forum). I sent in my machine for repair.
In the few days since I received the repaired machine back, I have had no random shutdowns. I also noticed I had no iTunes wireless dropouts with 6.0.4. I then re-upgraded to 6.0.5. No problems have surfaced. The only other software change at the system level I have made is to update the SMC firmware, which makes the machine run cooler.
I have no explanation and speculation seems pointless. (The shutdown repair consisted of replacing the heat sink and top case; as far as I know, no involvement with airport components.) But I'm again a happy camper.

I have an iMac4.1 and my iPhoto is very slow and the thumbnails correspond to the wrong pictures. How do I fix this? Or is my iMac too old? Will getting a new iMac solve this problem?.

I have an iMac4.1 and my iPhoto is very slow and the thumbnails correspond to the wrong pictures. How do I fix this? Or is my iMac too old? Will getting a new iMac solve this problem?
I realize is only 512MB of memory but I want to make sure that a new iMac will solve this problem. Can the new iPhoto handle 10GB or more of photos? Or do I have to go to Picasa anyways in which case I can buy any computer to do that?

The model of Mac is not partcularly relevant, it's the version of the OS and iPhoto that matter.
iPhoto - since 2006 - is good for 250,000 images.
