IMac G5 isight Can No longer connect to internet over Airport

I have an iMac G5 that has been working fine on my Airport Extreme wireless network for 3 years. Suddenly, I can no longer access the internet over my Airport connection. The computer is on my local Airport network wirelessly (I can access it from my laptop and share files). I can connect to the internet from 4 other computers connected to the same wireless Airport network (2 MacBook Pro's, 1 Powermac G4). In addition, if I connect my iMac to my laptop via a twisted pair ethernet cable and turn on internet sharing on my laptop, my iMac can connect to the internet. All systems are running 10.5.5 and no firewalls in place. I checked my internet preferences and they have not been changed from what they were before when it was working. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHY SUDDENLY IT STOPPED CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET OVER MY WIRELESS AIRPORT CONNECTION?

I have just experienced the same situation. Everything was working fine and now I can't connect to my airport from my macbook pro. I also have an iMac G5 working perfectly well on the same airport.
Could it be a latest update that has caused the problem?

  • Guest Ipod touches and husband's iphone can no longer connect to internet with airport. But Ipad2 works and so does hard wire computer. where is the problem and how do we remedy

    WiFi connections no longer working on Iphone and guest's Ipod Touches. How do we remedy this problem. The Ipad2 and hardwired computer are working with no problem

    I had the same problem -- only iphones couldn't access wifi all of a sudden.  I solved it this morning by uploading a previous firmware version to my Time Capsule.  The solution was offered in a different discussion in the iphone section, which I found at https://discussions.apple.com/message/15180888#15180888 :
    Eureka thats the problem
    The iOS 4.3.2 and 4.3.3 for iphone is not compatible with the firmware 7.5.2 for apple airport extreme and time capsule. If the WiFi router is an apple airport with firmware 7.5.2 an iphone with the updated firmware will not be able to detect and connect to the WiFi network.
    Solution The iphone firmware can not be downgraded, the airport firmware has to be downgraded
    1)  Make sure that the settings of your Airport Extreme are in mixed a/b/n mode
    2)  Open Airport Utility
    3)  Select Upload Firmware from the BaseStation menu
    4)  If you current version is 7.5.2, click Upload Firmware
    5)  Select 7.5.1 from the pop up menu
    6)  Restore Firmware
    Now the WiFi network is detected and connected perfectly as before upgrading the iphone to 4.3.3.

  • Can no longer connect to internet via airport

    My roommate and I have wireless internet. I used it all last semester with no problems. Sometime in December, I was unable to access the internet (Firefox, Safari, tried both..) here in my apartment, even though Internet Connection shows a full signal under our Airport network. When I went home, wireless worked just fine on this laptop - same when I'm at a library with wireless.
    I've tried restarting the wireless router, no success. I'm only able to access the internet when I'm plugged in directly to the router.
    Any suggestions?

    Um it's an AT&T DSL wireless router. Yes, my room mate uses the wireless. On my computer in the top right by the airport signal, when you click it, our network is shown with a check next to it, so it must be the signal from our router.
    There's an IP address when I unplug my computer from the router (when the web pages cannot be displayed), but when I plug it back in to use the internet, there isn't an IP address - just an IPv6 address.

    Suggest that you cross-post in the AirPort Forums

  • Can no longer connect to internet w/ cell signal - advice?

    Hi, all -
    I can no longer access the internet using a cell signal on my Droid 3. Everything was working fine until about a week ago, but now I get no 3G signal at all and only one or two bars. When I turn on the WiFi, I have no trouble accessing the internet. I can make calls with no problem, but cannot access the internet or my apps.
    I have tried the following, but I am still not getting a usable wireless signal:
    ·        -  Restarted device several times
    ·       -  Turned “airplane” settings on and off
    ·        - Removed battery, replaced it and restarted
    ·        -  Dialed *228, then option 1 to activate service
    ·        - Dialed *228, then option 2 to reprogram service
    Does anybody have any other ideas? I REALLY do not want to use the "nuclear" factory reset option unless absolutely necessary!
    Thanks in advance for any help!

        dmiller28, being without data is very difficult! Your efforts are greatly appreciated and you are on the right track with the troubleshooting steps. Have you tried checking the network settings in the device? To do this you will go to: menu>settings>wireless and networks>network mode and check if it is set to CDMA. Otherwise the next step is to do the factory reset which will be the last resort option. Keep us posted, thanks!

  • Can no longer connect to internet on my iTouch

    I have had my iTouch for just over a year and had no problems connecting to the internet at home and elsewhere. I had to purchase a new router recently and now my Touch no longer connects. It finds the network with no problem but when I enter my password it still says "unable to join the network..." It works everywhere else just fine and my laptop at home connects to my wi-fi with no problem as well. I have tried to input my network under "Other networks" with no success either. My settings and password are the same as before but it still won't connect. Has anyone else had this problem and any ideas on how to fix it? I went to the Apple store and they said they had no idea why it no longer connects. Thanks for any help you can send me.

    Are you running WEP encryption? Chances are the new router interprets your password in a form that the touch can't deal with. You can either using the hex code in place of the password you created or reset your encryption to WPA2-psk and create a new 10-12 character password.
    If you don't want to change encryption, you can reconfigure your WEP passwords - 5 characters only with 48bit or 13 characters only with 128 bit.

  • Can no longer connect to internet wirelessly with Linksys WRT54G...

    Hi, all...
    I'm at my father-in-law's house. His home network setup is as follows:
    * Compaq desktop connected via Ethernet cable to
    * Linksys WRT54G, v3 (IP 192.168.2.1) connected via Ethernet cable to
    * Westell DSL modem provided by SouthEast Telephone (his ISP - IP 192.168.1.1)
    I set this equipment up for him about 18 months ago. His Compaq desktop connects perfectly to the internet, using the setup I described above, which I set up for him about 18 months ago. I *used* to be able to connect to the internet wirelessly (with both my IBM ThinkPad and my MacBook; my bro-in-law *used* to be able to connect to the internet wireless (with his Dell laptop).
    For reasons we don't yet understand, neither of us can connect wirelessly to the internet any longer. I have called Linksys, posted to their board, and read other threads here, so I am aware that MacBooks have some issues with Linksys routers. I'm getting ready to phone my father-in-law's ISP, to see if they can help.
    But... I don't understand why this used to work, but doesn't any longer. I would be very grateful for any help any of you great folks could provide, and I will gladly post here any detailed info on the setup that might be of help!
    Many thanks,
    Bill J.

    Thanks for your reply.
    Actually the Linksys 2Wire modem works fine in OSX and when connecting via a Compaq PC I also have in the house. It is just on the MacBook running XP that it fails to "connect". XP see's the network but cannot connect.
    Also, I downloaded again bootcamp and created a fresh driver CD, reinstalled the driver and received the same error: 1706 No valid source could be found for product Macintoish Drivers foir Windows XP.msi.
    I looked at the directory on the CD and it appears that there are no driver files, only documentation.
    I called Apple, got no help, called Microsoft, spent 1.5 hours talking to them
    they were no help either.
    I sent a messge to the bootcamp beta mail address informing them that it seems the drivers are not being downloaded with bootcamp.
    Thx again.

  • Internal Modem malfunctioning, can no longer connect to internet

    At first the sound, dial town dissappeared, but could still connect. I started using another HD to boot 10.4 and the sound worked again connecting without problem. I had selected ignore dial tone in any case. Then no longer able to connect at all, soundwise I heard the number being dialed but with no audible dial tone, and no connection sounds whatsoever. When I select connect, there is a sort of quiet distorted sort of white noise before the computer dials the phone number which also sounds scratchy. Absolutely nothing, cannot connect.
    I think the internal modem has died.
    Any one else experienced this type of problem?
    I have inspected the modem superficially. it looks OK, and the phone socket on the back next to the ethernet socket and there is no physical damage to the socket.
    My phone line is OK.
    Any help there?

    Update on the problem.
    The internal modem is definitely kaput. Using the same phone line connection and a Base Station Dual Ethernet's modem and an Airport Card I can connect without incident.
    The internal modem was supplied by Apple Australia
    Modem Information:
    Modem Model: Dash2
    Interface Type: USB
    Modulation: V.92
    SKU Name: Australia
    Hardware Version: 1.0F
    Firmware Version: APPLE VERSION 2.6.6
    Driver: InternalUSBModem.kext (v2.6.6)
    Country: B4 (United Kingdom)
    I also booted up the Apple Care CD System Folder OS 9.1, System Profiler reports there is no Modem on board. The System Info in 10.4.9 reports the above information Dash 2 etc.
    I tried to use it again this morning but there is no response from the modem.
    How would I replace the internal modem here in Thailand?

  • Can no longer connect to my network - AirPort Extreme

    Hi everyone.
    I have a small network in my home office and as of lately cannot connect on the wireless side for some reason.
    My setup:
    I have a linksys wrt54g router connected to my modem.
    I have an Intel MacMini connected to the router via ethernet. I also my G5 connected to the modem via ethernet. Then I have just my MB Pro wit it's APExtreme card to connect anywhere in the house via the wireless portion of the network.
    Now, I have always been able to connect to my network. I have simple wep protection and can connect to coffee shop hot spots outside my home (so I know the problem is not in my MB Pro or in the card). It has got to be in the router setup.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    When you restart a wireless network and things seem OK for a time, but the speed slows down after a time and connections become difficult....this is almost always a clear indication that the network is picking up some sort of wireless interference from another source.
    The most common cause of wireless problems are cordless phones. If you have them, try turning them and their base stations off, restart the wireless network and try things out for a few hours if possible. If things improve, then you'll need to move the phones as far away from any wireless devices as possible, or as in my case, switch to cordless phones that do not use the same 2.4 GHz frequency as most wireless networks.
    "Extended" networks are also more susceptibe to picking up interference than those that have a single router. You might try powering down the Express for a period and see if that makes any difference.
    My neighbor...across the street....can literally bring my wireless network to a crawl and stop if he's in his front yard talking on his cordless phone, so it's always possible that a neighbor is causing the problem, or a wireless security system nearby.
    Post back on your progress and findings and we dig a bit deeper if needed. Unfortunately, if you are in a crowded situation like apartments, condos, etc the wireless interference issue can be a real challenge.

  • Can no longer connect to internet since express intalled!

    Hi
    Been trying to configure my AE for iTunes and seem to have buggered up my general wifi settings. My router has not changed (since all my other mac's can connect OK), but the machine I was configuring AE on just says:
    "Airport is connected to the network xxxx. Airport has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet"
    It is set to DHCP, but keeps getting one of those useless 169.x.x.x addresses instead of the 192.x.x.x ones. I have no changed the router at all.
    How do I reset my airport connection?
    Shaun

    To set up AirTunes on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, use the AirPort Admin Utility to check these settings:
    AirPort tab
    - Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    - Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
    - Wireless Network: <select the existing wireless network>
    Music tab
    - Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
    - Enable AirTunes over the Ethernet port (optional)
    - iTunes Speaker Name: <whatever you wish>
    - iTunes Speaker Password (optional)
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    - Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

  • Can no longer connect to internet with wireless router.

    For almost a year I've had a wrt54g ver 6 connected on my computer with my cable modem and my sons computer with the compatible pci card. Everything worked fine until a few days ago, I came home and could not get on the internet with my computer. My son could, but not me. I didn't change anything at all. So I reinstalled the router drivers and I still can't connect to the internet, but now neither can the other computer. What could be the problem?
    michele

    it sounds like you might have to clone the mac address of the computer that was originally connected to the cable modem. clone mac address can be found on setup tab after log into router.

  • After upgrading Itunes 8-1 can no longer connect to internet

    My wife updated to Itunes 8.1 and immediately lost her wireless internet connection and cannot get it back. I am posting this message on her behalf. She called Apple support and Jeremy told her this could not have happened and it could not be an Itunes problem. When she cannot get connected, she clicks on Windows diagnostics and gets the message "Network adapter Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter is experiencing driver or hardware related issues." However, in following directions from this Window, she finds that her drivers are up to date and she has the correct TCP IP versions, whatever that means. She uninstalled Itunes, but this has not helped. Tried plugging into the modem hardwire, but still no Internet. Any help would be appreciated.

    I just got off a 30+ minute phone call with an Apple Support rep about this. I'm getting error -3256. The rep was patient and tried hard to solve the problem, but was basically clueless. I have a case number and was encouraged to call back tomorrow to speak with a product support specialist.
    This stinks. AirTunes is my primary way of playing music from my computer. With no obvious way of rolling back to iTunes 7, this is a big deal.

  • I just upgraded to Yosemite and can no longer connect to the WIFI  any suggestions

    I Just up upgraded to Yosemite and can no longer connect to internet - any ideas?

    I have the same problem after loading OS X 10.10 Yosemite on my MacBook Pro (Late 2008).  Wi-Fi (Time Capsule) connects OK, then I open Safari and it waits for a minute and then gives me a message that it can't load the page because I'm not connected to the Internet.  The Wi-Fi is fine.  When I run the network analysis, it shows that everything is fine up to the Internet; the dots are red after that.  I have another MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) and it loaded and runs with no known problems (so far).  I am writing this message on the Late 2008 MacBook Pro, so you can see that there is no problem with the Internet connection.  It is a Yosemite problem.  My iPhone and newer MacBook Pro connect with no problem.  I loaded Yosemite TWICE, then ran the Disk Utility and fixed some disk permissions but there were no other problems identified.  Restarting after reloading Yosemite and the same problem is there.  Restarted after running the disk utility and fixing disk permissions and it still can't connect to the Internet.  Same problem.  Does anyone have an idea how this might be fixed?  What's going on?  Thanks for your help.
    Update:  Air Drop also doesn't work.  Thanks.

  • IMac Can No Longer Connect to the Internet

    My parents use a 2006 Intel Core Duo iMac (the 17", 1.83GHz model) running OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard). They typically connect to the internet using a wireless network set up using an Airport Extreme with RCN as their ISP.
    As of yesterday, the computer can no longer connect to the internet, while all other computers in the house, both Mac and PC, still can. I've tried power cycling the modem and the router, connecting using ethernet, and connecting the computer directly into the modem. Thus far, none of these attempts have succeeded. I've taken a look at the network settings for the computer and while networking is most certainly my thing I wasn't able to detect a change. As a last ditch attempt I tried using Google's public DNS service, rather than RCN's default, but that made no difference, so I've reverted it.
    I realize that the information available in this thread is almost certainly too little to guess at what the problem might be, but I'm more than happy to fetch information that might be helpful in finding a solution.
    Thanks for taking the time to read the problem; hopefully there's an obvious solution.

    "Drive is dead????" what in this thread gives you that idea? What card might be failing?
    Agent: do you have any Input Managers (might be called Input Methods) either in the Home Folder/Library or in the HD/Library (not /System/Library.)
    Yes, do try another Account and test for this there.
    I know you've already tried Google DNS, but try OpenDNS
    You don't need to go to the OpenDNS site to use OpenDNS. Simply open Network>Advanced>DNS in Sys Prefs and enter the following numbers for the interface you use, e.g. Airport or Ethernet,
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Hit OK and then Apply. Make sure those numbers are entered above any others you may have there.
