IMac G5 not connecting to my wi-fi network and not recognize password
I have friends and family that come to my home with different computers, give them password and connect to my wi-fi network perfectly. Now I have an iMac G5 model 1058, 1.8 Ghz with an airport express card. Try to connect to Internet, write the correct password and tells me that an error occurred. My wi-fi network was set up on my Mac Pro 1,1. Even a Mac power G4 laptop connects flawlessly to my network from first moment. If you have any suggestions I would appreciate very much.
Thanks Apple family.
You are the greatest.

I'm writing this reply to myself, just in case someone encounters the same problem. I open my Mac Pro, open Airport Utility, click on the image of the Airport Express and click on edit. In the following window click on the bar Wireless, and in the line Wireless Security, changed WPA2 Personal, for WPA/WPA2 Personal. I had noted that the iMac being an older machine didn't have WPA2 Personal, only WPA. After I changed the setting went to the iMac connected to my network, enter the password that never before accepted, and everything is running perfectly now.
Thank you for the 24 views that I have at this point and if is of any help to anyone my solution found just applying common sense, makes me happy.
Thank you all.

My iMac does not recognize external hard drive
My iMac does not recognize my external hard drive. Disk utility recognizes it and a test of the hard drive does not review any error. I use the hard drive as a back up for the time machine. This problem comes and goes. It comes when I turn off and turn on the computer, with the hard drive attached.
Please help.
Insightfulcan be this reasons
01 , you have problem with connection ? check the port if you can find any problems physically .
02. if not try to change the cable and with connection ,
03. may be its good idea to check the hard drive with another mac ?(if you have )
Did you note any diference of sound from Hard Drive ? listen to it that carefully to note some unusual sound comes when the hard drive works.

My imac does not recognize an external hard drive
I have bought an USB external drive but my Imac does not recognize it,
the external hard drive does not appear in the desktop neither disk utilities.
characteristics of the disk
toshiba, 1TB, USB 3.0
thanksThe problem is NOT the fact that it is a USB 3.0 drive, as USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0. The problem is specific to Toshiba Canvio portable drives. They only work if you use a micro-USB2 cable instead of the included USB 3.0 cable. This problem does NOT affect other USB 3.0 portable drives (Seagate, Western Digital, etc.), and they work fine with USB 3.0 cables.
Once again, you need a micro-USB2 cable for the Toshiba to mount. -
IMac does not recognize all photos in iPad photostream
My new imac does not recognize all the pictures in my ipad photostream. I have over 800 pix in my ipad photostream and imac will only recognize 300 when i have it plugged in to import. Any ideas?
Nevermind, I just spoke with my wife who imported the pictures last night just from that event. She did not delete them after importing either. I guess next time this happens I will uncheck the box that says "Do not import duplicates" to troubleshoot.

My iMac will not recognize a blank DVD-R that I am trying to burn. It also won't eject unless I "shut down" and restart while holding down the mouse button. Anyone have any remedies?
I ran into a similar (identical?) problem. I inserted a DVD-R and my imac would not recognize it. The only way to eject was to do a restart. I tried some of the SMC reset stuff. That didn't work. I came across another thread on macrumors (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=336501)
that solved my problem.
I have an external Western Digital Passport drive that I use for timecapsule. It turns out
there are two files that WD adds to the /Library/LaunchDaemons that interferes with the
SuperDrive. I removed the WD files from the LaunchDaemons directory and everything works fine
now. Again, refer to the macrumors thread for more details.
The files I removed from the LaunchDaemons directory were:
com.wdc.WDDMservice.plist
com.wdc.WDSmartWareServer.plist
..yes I had installed the WD backup software to see if I liked it....I did not, but didn't realize this files would cause a conflict with the SuperDrive. -
When I try to install WinXP using bootcamp, the iMac will not recognize the CD after it has already read all the information and is ready to begin installation. What is the problem?
If your on 10.6.8 like you should be for security/stability updates, somewhere along the line a later Bootcamp version was issued and only supports Win 7.

iMac does not recognize wifi keyboard and track pad... cursor stays in top left corner under apple ?...
Phillip,
I had this problem recently with a 3-year old Mac Pro intel, which was eventually replaced by Apple due to myriad other problems. When the frozen mouse happened, there was nothing I could do. Very frustrating to have the screen boot and the cursor is up there stuck, on the top left corner of the screen. Frozen. I called support several times. They were amazed. At one point they had me buy a cheap USB mouse (I was using a wireless mouse from Logitech and they thought there might be some kind of conflict). The USB mouse didn't work, either. Neither did an Apple mouse when I went out to buy one.
I ended up driving 70 miles to take the Mac to an Apple Store. I think they reinstalled the (Leopard) system in some secret way, because when the mouse was frozen so was everything else and I couldn't open the disk drive to put the OSX disk in there.
Why I'm here right now is that the same thing happened today with my NEW 3-month-old REPLACEMENT MAC PRO using its brand new wireless mouse, and I was hoping to find some insight. Again, a frozen cursor after the boot. Same top-left corner of the screen. Unlike you, when I click the mouse nothing happens -- no drop down.
Luckily, when I hard-rebooted by holding the button in, the mouse cursor came back. This time. Now I am afraid to turn my computer off. Been there done that before. Anyone have suggestions?
Thanks in advance. -

IMovie (and iMac) does not recognize device(s)
Hello and thanks for reading. I know this topic is like beating a dead horse but this one is unique. I'm a professional editor and I couldn't figure this out so any help would be appreciated. Here's the play by play:
I edit using FCP 5.1.4 and have for years. I've had the same set up running for years and do high volume editing.
I have a chain of 4 Lacie drives, all connected by firewire.
At the end of that string, I have my tape player for capturing footage, a Sony GV-HD700, which then goes on to the TVs, DVD players, etc.
Also the end of that string, I also have a disc burner for making DVDs.
So it goes: iMac > Lacie #1 > Lacie #2 > Lacie #3 > Lacie #4 > Sony tape player & DVD burner > TVs, VCRs, etc.
Yesterday, I was in a rush and the DVD burner was going slow so I unplugged it from the end of the string of Lacie drives and plugged it directly into the back of the computer to see if it would burn faster.
It didn't, so I plugged it back into the end of the Lacie string.
At that point, Lacie #4 became unrecognizable to the computer and therefore so was the tape player, which is further down the chain.
When I plugged the tape player high up the chain, into Lacie #3, it still was not recognized.
I plugged the tape player (Sony GV-HD700) directly into the back of the computer...still not recognized.
I took the Sony GV-HD700 into our other editing bay and it was still not recognized.
I pulled out my camera (Sony HDR-FX1000) and plugged it directly into the back of the original computer...recognized just fine.
I plugged Sony HDR-FX1000 camera into the back of Lacie #2...recognized just fine.
I took the Sony HDR-FX1000 camera into our other editing bay...recognized just fine.
I have a big deadline so I said "Screw it." and was just going to capture from the camera for the time being.
I reset the Lacie drive chain, plugged the Camera into the back of Lacie #4 (just like the original setup) and BANG: Lacie #4 and the Sony HDR-FX1000 camera was not recognized.
I plugged the Sony HDR-FX1000 camera directly into the back of the computer...still not recognized.
I took the Sony HDR-FX1000 camera into our other editing bay...still not recognized.
I thought it might be a Final Cut Pro issue so I pulled up iMovie and it does not recognize any device connected to the computer even though I'm looking directly at it plugged in.
The entire iMac has lost the ability to recognize devices that I've used for years. I've now lost the ability to capture footage and I'm running out of time. It's almost as if the devices were getting infected by one of the Lacie drives (I think Lacie #4). Is that even possible? Has anyone ever heard of something like this? I don't know if it's something I need to change on the iMac to recognize them again, or if it's a setting on the device to reset the connection, or if somehow the Lacie drive corrupted the devices and made them unrecognizable to iMacs.
It's very, very weird.
Thanks for your help.
27" iMac (2009)
OS X 10.8.5
Final Cut Pro 5.1.4
Tape player: Sony GV-HD700
Camera: Sony HDR-FX1000
I've had this setup for years so I don't know what type firewire it is.See:

IMac does not recognize 2nd display
I have read about 100 forums concerning this process and I must say that I am lost. I am trying to connect a second display to my iMac but when I go to system preferences/display and click on detect display, nothing happens. The arrangement tab does not appear between the display and color tabs.
My second display is a 19" Sony TFT LCD display with VGA plug. I have a VGA to DVI adapter that I connected a DVI to mini-DVI adapter to. I then plugged the mini-DVI adapter into my iMAC. The iMac screen went blue for about 2 seconds and then returned to the normal desktop screen but my second display did not do anything. I am trying to use this second display to extend my desktop not mirror it.
Can anyone help me out with this problem. Right now I am wondering if:
1. My iMac does not support this second display.
2. My DVI to mini-DVI cable is bad.
3. My install of leopard did not install software needed to add/recognize second display.
I can confirm that the display works; I was recently using on both a PC desktop and laptop.I have a similar problem but it happened suddenly. I bought the mini-DVI to VGA converter and every thing was working fine. Then the second display just stopped waking up. Now when I hit "Detect Displays" nothing happens. I'm pretty sure that the problem is not the display. I've read elsewhere that these converters are flakey. Maybe I'll have to go back to the store and have them check it out.

My iMovie on my 2011 iMac does not recognized videos taken on my new iPad. Is there a way to correct this, or perhaps I am doing something incorrect. When I connected my iPad to my iMac, iPhoto popped up, but not iMovie.
You have to import the movie into iTunes via iOS file sharing, then drag the movie from the file sharing window in iTunes to the desktop, then you can import the movie into iMovie. Here are the details.
