Mac Powerbook no longer works with my routers but is working at other wireless locations?

I am running Mac OS X 10.5.8 and have been experiencing this internet connection issue to my router for about a year. Any help with this issue would be great!!! Thank you!

What is the Model no of the Router...?
Who is your ISP...?
Are you not able to go online or facing intermittent connection ..?
Are you able to go online from the computer wired to the router...?
Try changing the wireless channel on the router,change the SSID(Network Key),check the security and try to connect again on the computer.

HT3748 since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mac Mail no longer works well w/exchange email; so, I have had to switch back to outlook. Now, how can I use outlook for mac's calendar and contacts with icloud?

Since uprgading to Mountain Lion, my mac mail no longer works with my exchange email properly. I finally gave up and moved back to outlook for mac, but now my new issue is using outlook calendar and contacts with icloud; possible?

Sorry but I'm really not to sure what I have. I'm not good with knowing my computer model. All I know is that its a MacBook running with Leopard. I got my computer last year so I suppose its fairly new. Is there a place on my computer where I can check to see what it is (sorry to be so dumb with my own mac)
And everything else works fine. I love Safari. It's just my mail that doesn't work. Here's the message that pop up several times.
"The MobileMe IMAP server “mail.mac.com” rejected the password for user “akcastaldo”
Please re-enter your password, or cancel."
The only problem here is, even though I enter my password it doesn't do anything. It makes that message go away for about 3-5 mins. After that it pops right back up. And I can't even go into my preference and change my email password. So I don't know what to do.

Onboard Mac Lan no longer works after 1.9 update!!!

I was using bios v1.8 and both my Mac Lan and my Giga Lan were working perfectly fine. Now that i updated to v1.9 my Mac Lan no longer works but my Giga is fine!!!
My Mac Lan still gets an ip address from my router, but i cannot ping the router nor anyone else on the network and my internet does not work!! So right now im using my Giga lan but i want my other one working like it was.
I tried going BACK to v1.8 but it did not fix the problem, so i went back yet again to v1.9 and im still left with the same problem. Ive tired disabling it and re-enabling it in both the bios and in windows and still nothing. Ive also tried re-installing the drivers and that did not work either. I even ran a Winsock Fix but that didn't fix the problem either.
Is anyone else having this problem besides me? what can i do to fix it???

Download new bios and extract it to a directory where you can find it (root of c:\ if you are lazy like me). Run wminfo if you are paranoid about losing your mac address and copy it down for your nvidia adapter.
Restart windows in safe mode. Close every application down in task manager.
Run winflash as described below and CHECK ALL THE RIGHT BOXES TO UPDATE BOOTBLOCK AND TO CLEAR THY CMOS. Read Syar's description below as that is what I used:
Quote from: syar2003 on 30-July-05, 00:24:48
No , floppy flash is not neccesary !
Can use
C:\Program Files\MSI\Live Update 3\FlashUty\Award
winflash.exe
Place checkmarks on bootblock/dmi area/update all/clear cmos
During flashing you see it will verify the programming of the bios chip .
And the good thing is unlike dos flash you can redo it if it fails , just by starting taskmanager and kill winflash.exe
and start over (as long as the machine isn't powered down or restarted).
I always say no after the flashing when asked to restart , exit the winflash utility , make a normal shutdown , turn off PSU for 10 seconds , then turn back
on , enter bios and load optimized default , followed by a boot to build/update dmi pool .
Kill all unwanted apps in the systemtray before running winflash and dont have any other applications running .
Best way is to boot to windows safemode .

My Ipad did work on my wireless at home and works on other wireless but no longer at home. My IPhone works at home and others can use the wireless Confused that it did work and now does not?

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.

Mac mail no longer works with iCloud

Since installing icloud, my mac mail is no longer working.

You have been using MobileMe's email settings, which sometimes continue to work for a time after migration but then get turned off. iCloud's mail server settings are different. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:

Apple Products no longer AirPrint with new routers

I have a OfficeJet Pro 8500 A910 Series printer and was using a linksys WRT160N V2 router (open without a password protection). I also have an HP Laptop, a MacBook Pro Retina, two IPhones and an IPad. All devices were able to print wirelessly on the Office Jet.
I sought to repace the router first with a Linksys AC1200 and then with an Apple Airport Extreme. With both routers the HP laptop was able to print wirelessly to the printer. However, the apple products could not. All equipment is on the same network (password protected). Sometimes the Apple products can see the printer and I think when first connected they will print. But within a few minutes will no longer be able to perform an airprint. If I delete the printer and try to add it - the printer disappears as a nearby printer and sometimes does not show up as a bonjour printer either.
While I can limp along with the older router, I worry that when it finally dies, I will no longer be able to use this printer wirelessly. I have both new routers in their boxes ready to be returned - but perhaps there is a solution.
I have spent hours on the phone with both Apple and witih Linksys to no avail. I do think this is an HP problem and so do they.
I have tried limiting the router to a 2.x Ghz - and note that using a 5 Ghs frequency makes the Apple products ever less happy.

Hi @StarvationPoint,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I gather that since changing your router that you are encountering difficulties in using AirPrint from your Apple mobile devices.
I have included a post by @Shirlzz1 on the forums titled Help Determine if your router can support AirPrint with the Bonjour Discovery App. It will walk you through downloading an app that checks to see if the routers support Bonjour (I know the Apple AirPort Extreme does).
I’ve also included the Printing Over a Wireless Network with Apple's AirPrint FAQs document. It has some great trouble shooting steps in the “What if a 'No AirPrint Printers Found' message displays on my Apple device?” section.
Please let me know the outcome.

My Mac Mail no longer works (does not receive or send mail)

I have had my MacBook for maybe a year now, and I don't really use the mail often. The last time I was able to send and receive mail was back in October. Now it will no longer work.. I get a pop up that's always asking me to put in my mail password, but nothing happens. I even tried going to preference to change my password and it won't allow me.
When I try to send mail, the little paper plane icon is not clickable. Nothing happens. The only thing I can do is exit out of the message or save the draft. And I can not seem to get mail at all from anyone. I haven't touched any setting either, so I don't understand why it no longer works. My bank can no longer send me emails nor can my friends send me emails anymore.
Does anyone know how I can possibly fix this problem and get my email up and running again. Thanks in advance for all the advice.

Sorry but I'm really not to sure what I have. I'm not good with knowing my computer model. All I know is that its a MacBook running with Leopard. I got my computer last year so I suppose its fairly new. Is there a place on my computer where I can check to see what it is (sorry to be so dumb with my own mac)

Why is my Microsoft Office for Mac programs no longer compatible with 10.7 Lion?

"Power PC applications no longer supported" the Microsoft Office Pack was Mac versions of Word, Powerpoint, etc. and when I downloaded Lion upgrade to operating system, it gave me message above. What's up wth that? Must I go buy a newer version of Microsoft Office for Mac or rely on Pages, which I like, but for ease of use between home and office, I also like to have Word. Anybody else having same issue?

Neo Office
OpenOffice
Google Docs
iWork
Are all excellent alternatives for Office.
Here's a full listing of Lion compatible applications:

Mac Mini will not send iMessages to anyone but apple users all other devices will

I have a new mac mini and it will not send iMessages to people that do not have apple devices. All my other apple devices will send to people on these devices. The mac mini says that the users are not registered with iMessages. My Macbook Pro has no problem. Any suggestions?

Hello IslandBoy2671,
Is your MacBook Pro sending the SMS messages through your iPhone?
That is the protocol others are probably using.
Messages (Yosemite): Get and send SMS messages
To make and receive SMS and MMS messages on your Mac, you need an iPhone with iOS 8 that’s signed into iMessage with the same Apple ID.
To send an SMS message, enter a contact or a person’s phone number, enter your text, then press Return.
Your SMS and MMS messages appear on your Mac automatically.
Take care,
Nubz

Need Help - Mac Mini no longer works with LG Television

Sometime ago (maybe about two months), my Mac Mini quit working with my LG Plasma HD TV. Currently, when I try to use the Mac Mini with the television, the screen displays a "no signal" message.
The Mac Mini is a one year old Intel Core Duo and is connected using a DVI to HDMI cable.
I've troubleshooted:
1. Connected the Mac Mini to our 42" Sharp Aquous LCD - it displays fine.
2. Taken the Mac Mini to the Genius bar. It displayed on the genius' Apple display w/no probs.
Since then, I've tried:
1. Reinstalled/rolled back to Leopard DVDs (no updates applied) - No luck
2. "Driving" the Mac Mini via Screen Sharing using my MacBook and monkeying with the Display preference pane. While screen sharing, I tried using SwitchResX, too (not too certain of the settings though) - No luck.
Of note:
1. Before the trouble began, I was pleasantly surprised to see "LG" (automatically) listed as the display in the Display preference panel. Support was literally plug and play. Currently, when I drive via Screen Sharing, "LG" is no longer listed. Alternatively, when I connect to the Sharp Aquous, the Display preference panel DOES list "Sharp" as the display.
Any ideas?

I'd be interested in any resolution here. Here's my story:
I have a Mac Mini model MA723LL/A and a Haier P42LV6-T1 42" HDTV plasma with VGA and HDMI inputs. I first attempted to hook the Mac to the plasma TV using the DVI->VGA adapter that came with the Mac. I got no image at all on the TV, and the TV claimed 'No Signal'.
Then I used a DVI->HDMI adapter, and hooked the Mac to the TV thru the HDMI port. I got a picture and was happy. I setup iTunes, got the wireless working, surfed the web a bit and all was OK except the resolution seemed wonky. So I opened the Mac's settings panel to adjust the resolution, and as soon as I opened the settings panel, the screen went blank, with the TV claiming 'No Signal'. I shut off the Mac and rebooted, and from that point forward, what happens is this:
press On Button->
Apple Boot Screen->
MacOS 10 loading->
desktop For About 1 millisecond->
screen goes blank with TV claiming 'No Signal'
I hooked the Mac to my Dell 20" LCD monitor thru the monitor's DVI input and got a great picture. I tested all the resolution settings, and everything was fine. I have tested the Mac on the TV with all available resolution settings and it's always the same story (see above for sequence)
I'm kinda at the end of my rope. The Mac seems to be changing something on its video output at the end of its bootup, but I have no clue what. Has anyone seen anything like this? Any advice at all?

AirPlay with my Mac is no longer working

Hello.
I have a 2009 MacPro running OX X 10.7.3, with 8 GB RAM, iTunes 10.6, and AirPort Utility 6.0. I have an 802.11n Airport Express (AE) attached to my Onkyo receiver.
WHenever I try using AirPlay from my 3rd gen. iPod Touch, it works fine. But when I try to select the AE downstairs in my living room to use AirPlay directly from iTunes on my MacPro, it says it's trying to connect, but after 3-4 minutes, it times out.
I've tried swapping out AE's, turning WiFi on and off on my MacPro, restarting the Machine, running Disk Utility, even running TechTool Pro 6 and DiskWarrior to see if there was some sort of file corruption issue. NOTHING has fixed this issue!
Anyone have any suggestions?

As far as automatic update, the iOS cannot be updated without user intervention, so it could not have been automatically updated.
You need to provide more information about your mail. Does this mean you cannot access the Mail app, you cannot download mail, or what? Not sure why you cannot access the cookies setting in Safari. Go to Settings>Safari>Block Cookies>set to what you want.
Problems with 3rd party Bluetooth devices, such as car audio, etc., generally has to do with vehicle manufacturers not providing updates to match the current Bluetooth stacks that are found in today's phones. You can go into the phone and remove the pairing for the car, and then go into car settings and remove the iphone. Then put both devices back into pairing mode and attempt to connect them again.

.Mac sync no longer working

Since a few days ago, .Mac syncing of my bookmarks stopped working. I noticed that all the bookmarks I added on my G5 stopped showing up in .Mac and on my laptop. However bookmarks added on the laptop would show up on .Mac, too.
So I decided to unregister all computers, then reregister the G5, reset all data on .Mac from the G5. No go: iCal and AddressBook sync to .Mac, but my .Mac bookmarks remain empty, no matter how often I unregister and reregister my G5, how often I reset all bookmark data from the computer, or how long I wait for .Mac to update and reflect the changes (over night should be long enough!)
In an act of desperation, I unregistered the computers again, and deleted just about everything that has to do with syncing and Safari out of ~/Library/ApplicationSupport, ~/Library/Caches, etc.
After reregistering the computer, as almost expected: iCal and AddressBook work and update properly on .Mac, but the bookmarks remain empty.
Anyone knows what is stuck here, and what needs to be deleted/reset for this to get going again?
It's a true pity that Apple's software has no concept of self-repair. It relies too much on pre-existing folders, files, caches, etc. No matter how much of these files should be missing, corrupt, etc. the software should be able to recover from that as long as the actual binary of the application is OK. (Oh, yes, that too: I did copy Safari from another computer, just to make sure that if the app had been damaged, that would be taken care of...)
At this point, I don't know what else to try. Even killing SyncServer didn't do a thing. (It is automatically restarted, so the hope was that maybe it might reload the data or something like that...)
Ronald

One more thing: When I first tried to reset .Mac from the G5, it uploaded an outdated version of my bookmarks.
In other words, I suspect that the link between Safari's Bookmarks.plist and whatever is used as a data source for the .Mac syncing is broken, whatever that is. The problem is, I don't know what that link is, and how to reset it, and frankly, I shouldn't have to know: the Bookmarks.plist should be the authoritative source for all my local bookmarks, and if some intermediate storage gets out of sync, it should just fix itself w/o user interaction.
