MBP cannot connect to G4 via airport

Hi all ... I had my desktop G4 connected to the internet with a netgear wireless router and my new mbp worked fine using the netgear network ... I could see the G4 and grab files from it and connect to the internet. The router has just died so I've been trying to connect to the G5 from the mbp with airport so that I can transfer files and get on the net but it just doesn't seem to want to work, the mbp can see the G4 (I see it's name when I hit the network icon in the finder window but it won't connect). here's the message: "The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and try again". Any help much appreciated ... I've read through a few of the threads on this board and there seem to be some issues with mbps and airport but I couldn't find any answers to my problem ! Many thanks Roger

Your computers have not realised that the new router means that the addresses of the network computers have changed.
Try this.
In Finder, hit Command K.
and in the box at the top, type the machine you want to connect to .
If it's a Mac type
macname.local
And if its a PC type
smb://pcname
It should work. And you are right, the Mac's local network browsing is not as robust as it should be.

Pc cannot connect to internet via airport

Hi
I have an older Airport Extreme base station (round pyramid style) that is fine with my Mac (MacBook Air, iMac, iPad-2, iPhone 4+) and other wifi devices.
However, we also have various PC laptops (needed for work) that can connect to the Airport base station (PC= green line from pc to base, red line crossed through to internet Windows graphic) but NOT to the web (?)
We have high speed DSL, and a modem plugged directly into the base station.
How can I set Airport up or the PC laptops, so that the PC laptops can have access to the web and everything stays the same for all of my other stuff?
Very behind in my work...

Hi,
I believe you have the problem that I was able to correct last weekend on my son's pc laptop by updating the atheros wireless adapter drivers. Here are two simple options to test if you need to get an updated driver for the pc wireless adapter. The first is to just connect the laptop to the Airport Extreme with a network cable. If that is not an option, enable the guest network with no security on the Airport Extreme and connect the pc laptop to the guest network. If either method works, the wireless security method is the problem and a new driver was the solution.

My macbook pro cannot connect to internet via wifi

I have a Macbook Pro 2010 OS X 10.8.3. I cannot connect to internet via wifi (Air por). My Macbook Pro does not recognize my network and when I select it from the list of network it asks for my network password. when I type in my password a dialog box gives me timeout error. Please could anyone help me. I am using ethernet for my connection at the moment. Do I need to reset my macbookpro? if yes, what will happen to my applications and operating system (mountain lion)?

When you use the Airport utility what happens?
What is in the System Preferences control panel for Network settings?

Wi-Fi Setup Considerations
Things to consider before you begin
Start with a plan for the physical layout. Depending on whether you have an existing Wi-Fi network, or if you are using your AirPort Express as a standalone Wi-Fi device, there are several options available for you to choose from.
When using Ethernet, Cat6 cable is recommended.
The layout you choose should take into account environmental factors such as physical access, location, range, radio frequency interference, etc.
You will need to consider what AirPort Utility settings to adopt.
You will need to know whether you are using an AirPort Express (802.11b/g) or an AirPort Express (802.11a/b/g/n).
If you will be using more than one Wi-Fi base station, it may be helpful to read the article Extending the range of your wireless network by adding additional Wi-Fi base stations.

Why I cannot connect to twitter via iPhone?

I just cannot connect to Twitter via iPhone.
It started around 6 months ago, before it was working just fine.
Important notes:
I live in China, dono need to connect to it via VPN.
Interesting thing is that in my iPad app I have no problem at all, can connect, place posts, etc.
Just in iPhone its not possible, not even connecting to the site via Safari.
Why's that? Anyone has any idea on how to solve this problem?

Changed apple-ID password - cannot connect to icloud via macbook air but it works on iphone and itunes..

My Ipad got stolen soon after i updated in to ios7.
the idiot i am, i did not activate find my ipad, so i changed all my passwords, including the apple-id.
now i have the following problem:
on my iphone, everything works as usual.
however, i cannot connect to icloud via my macbook air, if i type in my password (and trust me i have already changed it a few times, it always works on the phone but not on the macbook) i get the following message: "Sie konnten aufgrund eines Kommunikationsproblems mit iCloud nicht angemeldet werden." which means more or less that i could not connect to icloud due to a communication problem.
does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
thank you!
regards

Sign out of iCloud, the sign in with the new ID/ Password.

MBP no longer connects to network via Airport

today my MBP will not connect to my network via airport. Several other apple devices connect to the network no problem. MBP connects to the network OK via ethernet cable.
When I try to connect it just keep prompting for network password & user password, generates spinning wheel but then returns invalid password dialogue box. Tried several times and no success - occasionally there is an additional dialogue box " Apple80211agent......."
Pass word is fine as 5 other devices connect without any issue. What is going on?
Incidentally, just thought to create another Airport connection and hey presto it connects.
Still confused.

Your local LAN runs through your router.
All your ethernet ports, and your modem and router, should be behind and filtered from excess current. That means a UPS generally. And run input line thru UPS (coax) first, then run RJ45 back through UPS again (there can still be excess surge or current on the line).
Modems and routers can be compromised by surge outage or storm. So can ethernet ports.
You have two ethernet ports and you tried with both also.
What you did not do that I would have added is SMC Reset / Reset NVRAM/PRAM.
This is what I have had for the last year, very nice and stronger signals thruout the house.

Unable to connect to Internet via Airport Express - 'cannot contact server'

I'm unable to connect to the internet via my Airport Express. I'm using OS 10.3.9, and had the same setup with no problems at a previous address, but with a different modem from the same ISP.
My AE is connected - the light is green - and my mac is connected to the network in Internet Connect. But when I open Safari I get an 'unable to contact server' message.
I've tried rebooting everything (modem, AE, Mac), and leaving modem/AE off for several minutes. Also reset the AE, but to no avail.
The connection works fine via Ethernet cable.
Any ideas?

Thanks, I checked out that advice doc (106798), but could not connect to the address (http://17.149.160.49) which is given to test if it's a DNS issue. My ISP says I shouldn't need DNS settings.
The service is PPPoE, and I went into Airport Admin Utility to check if the Airport was configured for this. Under Configure/Internet, I found it was set to 'Ethernet', so changed it to PPPoE. Then when I restarted I got connection status in the bar (and good Airport signal), but status flipped between 'looking for PPPoE host' and 'negotiating PPPoE host', sometimes sticking on one or the other each time I tried rebooting all gear.
Any other ideas?

Can't connect to Internet via Airport

I have a PPPOE ISP account. Before upgrade to Lepoard, just fine. Now I can only connect to internet using cable via my router moderm. I cannot connect my wireless router.
The wireless router will appear to be connected but it said self assigned IP. If I hardcode an IP eg. 192.168.11.2 to it. The Airport status will become connected but still cannot dial into my PPPOE account. An message no PPPOE service will appear. But if I plug in the LAN cable, everything work fine. Why this happen? My wireless router work fine with my Window XP and my Mac (before upgrade to Lepoard) What configuration should I change? I am an idot to networking. I have download all patch and has tried boot to safe mode etc.
Anyone can help?

By power downs do you mean Sleep?
One thing that might work is to set the IP to Static in Network>Configure IPv4>DHCP with Manual Address.

Won't Connect To Flickr Via Airport But Ethernet Is OK?

Ok, this is really strange, I've got a MacBook Pro 2.33Ghz 15" and as of yesterday I cannot connect to flickr.com via wireless. However, when I plug in my ethernet cable, everything is fine. I'm using a Netgear Router but I've not played with any settings on that for months. I'm really quite confused and can't think what it could be (I'm a Mac Noob so I could have done something I suppose).
Can anyone enlighten me?
Simon
UPDATE: I should also say that I cannot ping flickr throught airport access either, but ethernet is fine

And as another update, I've just installed BootCamp and there's no problem connecting to Flickr via wireless when i boot into that partition, so the issue has to be somewhere in OS X ?
What a strange problem? Please help....it's driving me mad!

Windows cannot connect to internet with airport

I have a macbook with Windows via Bootcamp. I have DSL. My mac OS can access internet fine (wirelessly and ethernet). I can access internet through Windows if I connect directly through the modem (ethernet). If I connect ethernet through airport, I cannot connect. Of course I cannot connect wirelessly either. I would like to connect wirelessly. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rich

Richard,
Some items to consider.
First, can Windows see the wireless router? You can go under network settings in Windows and see if it "sees" the wireless access point. Or, you can log into the router and see if it sees Windows as a connected device.
Do you have any security enabled on your router? If so, have you set up the security on Windows?
Are you using DHCP on your router? If so, does Windows have a valid IP address?
Also, have you made sure that the device driver for the Airport Card under Windows is current and working properly?

ITunes cannot connect to remote speakers / Airport Express

Hi Guys
This is a quick post with a problem & solution.
I've been searching for ages tonight to find a solution to my problem:
'iTunes suddenly cannot connect to my Airport Express Speakers" and could not find one answer on here, only a mixture of replies all over the net.
So, just incase some people are still looking for an answer:
What I did...
1. Go to System Preferences, Network.
2. Click Advanced, on the TCP/IP tab, set "Configure IPv6" to Off.
Open up Airport Utility, go to the Music tab, set a password (I did this just for the sake of seeing whether iTunes noticed that the Airport was now password protected, then atleast you know it's talking!)
3. Open iTunes, go to preferences.
4. Click on the devices tab, untick "Look for remote speakers connected with Airplay, Allow iTunes control from Remote Speakers, Forget All Remotes.
5. Close iTunes
6. Open iTunes, retick "Look for remote speakers connected with Airplay, Allow iTunes control from Remote Speakers, Forget All Remotes.
7. Connect to remote speakers worked!

thanks Simius,
I just tried what you said to do, i had it in Automatic, but when I momenterely switched to manual the fields were all blank so I left them that way and turned on to automatic as you said and left it in auto, then tried to change itunes speaker to remote airplay and it didn t work.
so i don t know what else to do, I read alot about this in the last few days the bug seems to be related to the newest itunes upgrade and with the presence of the IP6V not turned off completely.
in the old system one could turn it off completely, now the off button is gone.
there are work around using terminal, I tried that but it doens t recognize my commands, so it didn t work either.
anybody has any idea?
thansk a lot

Cannot connect to database via JApplet

Hi,
I created a Java application which allows me to send information to my mysql database using the jdbc connector via a JFrame. However when i modified the file to be a JApplet the info will not sent and i cannot connect to the database? Any particular reason for this?
I need it to be a JApplet so i can add it to a browser window.
Code: ( java )
private void save ()
Connection conn = null;
try
Statement stmt;
String userName = "root";
String password = "PASSWORD";
String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/DATABASE";
Class.forName ("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance ();
conn = DriverManager.getConnection (url, userName, password);
System.out.println ("Database connection established");
//Get a statement object
stmt = conn.createStatement();
stmt.executeUpdate( "INSERT INTO TABLE(Info i know to put in) VALUES('Values i know to put in')");
catch (Exception e)
System.err.println ("Cannot connect to database server");
finally
{if (conn != null)
{try
{conn.close ();
System.out.println ("Database connection terminated");
catch (Exception e) { /* ignore close errors*/ }
As i said above it works fine as a JFrame but not as a JApplet. Any help would be great.
Thanks G

Your error reporting is not good. You print a meanningless message or ignore the error.
Print the stacktrace in the catch blocks.
Change the code, rerun it and then check the Java Console for output.
I'm guessing you'll see a security error. Unsigned applets can't access the client file system. If so, sign the applet.
