Leopard 10.5.8 won't connect to Mavericks on local wifi network

I have a late 2009 27" Intel iMac running 10.9.4 and an old G5 running 10.5.8 , both on my home wifi net. Prior to upgrading my iMac to Mavericks, I was using Lion and was able to connect these two machines for file and screen sharing. Now I can't figure out how to get this function back. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Today, I can no longer see each device in the Finder Sidebar. Or at least it's intermittent. When I can see it, and try by clicking on the item, I get a message that
"There was a problem connecting to the server XXXXX. The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."

Won't connect to internet at local library

I can connect to the internet via wireless anywhere, home, school, at a friends house but I can't connect to the WiFi at my local library. I used to be able to but now it just won't get internet, it just assigns itself an IP address and leaves it at that. I know it's not an issue with Mac because when this happened for the second time there was a man next to me online on his MacBook. I've used the internet there on a 2005 iBook G4 which was also running Leopard. I've also been there with a Sony running Linux and Windows without issue. I've also reinstalled OS X Leopard but it still won't connect to the internet, just the local network.

Turn off the router. Wait couple of minutes. Turn it back on.
Wait until all the lights are lit up.
Now relaunch Safari.
Best.

Hi LandJ1980,
I would recommend first trying these steps:

If that does not work, this article has some additional ideas to try, even though you are only seeing this with the App Store:

Create local wifi network on OS X without internet connection

Hi,
is there anyway to create a local wifi network without internet connection to play multiplayer games like call of duty on macbook pro ?

Is it safe to assume that you are connecting your MBP to a wireless router already?
If you are then all the other LAN machines should also connect to that same router even if internet access is turned off.
LAN parties are fun and they require the computers to have certain port setups for certain games.
It is possible, though I don't play COD (I'm a Battlefield man) and I can't help with the details of COD.
When my son has his friends over we use a wired hub setup and we make the laptop guys use the wired connection - it's more stable. I admit that we always use the internet. The last LAN party we had without the internet was a Battlefield 1942 setup with one computer hosting the local server (and that was years ago.)

WIFI and mobile data connections not connecting with any other outside WIFI networks. Bluetooth not working in car. Any solution?

After installed iOS7 I am facing the following two problems:
1. WIFI as well as mobile data connection are working fine at my home. But, not connecting with any other outside WIFI networks. Error message is 'unable to join network'. Mobile data also not connected outside my home. Sometimes wifi and mobile data connect outside my home when I turn off and on the phone.
2. Bluetooth, in my car, paires well and incoming and out going calls can be received and made. The problem is no sound out put from speakers.
Apple please make note of the above problems (of million people) and give solution before giving any other updations for painting and tinkering the screens.

Check this thread, the same solution might work for you:

BB Curve 8520 not connecting to local Wifi network

I bought this BB two days ago.
Device info: BB Curve 8520 OS v5.0.0.681
Your carrier: T-Mobile Prepaid (the Netherlands)
No Apps and 138598276 Bytes free space
No Apps installed
My problem:
I cannot get my local WiFi to work. I can see the 8520 with IP-nr listed in the Wireless clients overview of my DLink DIR-655 router. I see my local network-id listed on the phone's screen beside T-Mobile. The Wifi symbol is grey. In WiFi profiles I can see my network id with a blackbox and white line it.
Whenever I want to make contact through WiFi with for example the hotspot browser I immediately see this message which I translated from Dutch: "Cannot connect to the internet. Try again later."
I have added Wifi with WPS and manually, but nothing helps. Has it something to do with BIS ? I have not used this service and don't even know how to activate that. I am not sure if I even want to do that. I just want to be able to access internet using my local Wifi network.
I also did a battery pull, a router reboot, but still no go.
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Roland

Having difficulty connecting to 'The Cloud' public WiFi network (UK) with iPhone 5?

Is anyone else having difficulty connecting to 'The Cloud' public WiFi network in the UK with iPhone 5? (It's the free WiFi network for Caffe Nero, Pizza Express, Phones 4U, and Ambassador Theatre Group amongst others. It's run by BSkyB and is also available to Sky broadband customers)
WiFi works fine everywhere else (so it's not an iOS 6 problem, and I am running 6.0.2) but attempting to connect to "_TheCloud" gets instant 'Unable to connect to network' message. Going to Settings>WiFi>_TheCloud reveals that all the fields (IP Address, Subnet Mask etc) are blank.
It used to work fine on my 3GS, and also works on a colleague's 4S. However both my and my boss's iPhone 5's get the 'Unable to connect..." message.
Anyone know how to solve this problem? Or has anyone else even had this problem? There seems to be little reporting of it online.
I've tried emailing The Cloud, but have yet to receive a response.

I found out why there was a problem with The Cloud network I was trying to connect to: The Cloud's equipment at the venue wasn't able to cope with newer devices.This has now been upgraded, and my iPhone 5 connects fine.
Have you tried connecting at different Cloud venues? I discovered that it was a venue problem when I successfully connected to a local Pizza Express's Cloud.

Xp won't connect to wpa2-psk security enabled network

I have 3 laptops, 2 with win 7 premium and 1 with xp home edition, the win 7's will connect to the internet fine...but the xp won't connect at all, now if I turn off the security xp will connect fine, can anyone tell me what my problem is please?
Thank you Kindly for any help

1. Make sure, you verify under "Preferred Networks" click on the connection that's not working, click properties.
Verify WPA2 is an option in "Authentication". If it's not download the latest drivers for your wireless adapter, restart computer and check again.
2. Next problem is XP's Wireless Lan Manager; it is absolute garbage on XP for WPA2. I have seen many XP SP3 unable to connect to WPA2 because of this. You need to use the wireless manager that comes with your wireless adapter drivers. When
you install them opt to install with the software, not just the driver.

Playbook won't connect to the internet on wifi WPA setting with d-link router

Hi, I'm using a D-link DIR-655 router with it being set up with a WPA security system. For some reason though, when I've tried to set up my playbook, it won't connect to it. Can anyone help. Thanks.

Let me see if I can find how to reset your router. I think it's the same as mine actually. Your router is a pretty good router. I think with the settings I suggest to you you will get your PlayBook to connect reliably.
Also, when you get into your router, make sure your firmware is the most recent. Update it if you have to.

IMac won't connect to the to the wireless network and internet when a laptop is connected

When a windows laptop is connected wirelessly to my router and the internet my Imac won't connect. If the Imac is connected wirelessly first it turns off when I connect the laptop. the iMac has once given me a message about the laptop using the same IP address. Can anyine help, I have been putting up with this for a year now and it's a real pain. Any help appreciated Many thanks

Check the company that you get your internet service from. High speed internet through a phone service modem allows for one connection as the modem is controlling the IP addresses. If you add a wireless to this connection, your modem will still allow for only one connection at a time. The wireless modem should be "in charge". Call the internet service provider and see if they will walk you through how to give permission to your wireless to assign IP addresses and not the modem they supplied.
If your Mac and PC both want the same address, you can tell your Mac to use a manual IP address. Go to:
system preferences/network
write down the IP address, subnet mask, and router numbers. On dropdown Configure IPv4 choose "using DHCP with manual address". Now put back in all the numbers you wrote down except in the IP address box, change the last digit to a higher or lower number.
Now the PC will be happy with the IP it chose and the Mac will, also.
