My imac says wifi not configured all other devices in house are working please help

how can I reset the wifi card in my imac

If the wireless card or circuitry in the iMac appears in the hardware profile, then it exists
and could be used by the system; the configuration of Network in system preferences is
part of that. Also the AirPort setup to be able to find & use available wireless networks
is usually not difficult.

However, not knowing what iMac model build version or OS X system version your have
makes choosing how to reply to a general and vague question such as this. Since a Mac
does not run an iOS (an iDevice, not a Mac product, would use iOS system) what OS X
does your computer use? And if the hardware utilizes a core 2 duo or other Intel based
processor, then you don't have the vintage old iMac version this discussion area is about.
The answers change, depending on the hardware, since the later OS X versions do not
run on old hardware. So there is a gap between what you have, and what you said...
Even so, the general settings for Ethernet, Wi-Fi and other connections for networking
are in the system preferences; you can also choose to change options in there.
Good luck & happy computing!

My macbook will not bring up my homepage, all other devices in house are working fine.

Hello all, my Macbook Pro will not connect to the Airport, It appears to start to then it just grinds and grinds and the page remains blank. All other devices in the house are connecting to the Airport without incident, including my ipad. The bars at top right indicate the airport is on and the correct one is checked appropriately. When I run diagnostics on it it tells me to restart the device. I have restarted the wireless and the mac but nothing ever changes, does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should try??

You could try repairing permissions with disk utility, I don't think you will have the option to repair the drive but you could verify it.
This may help you delete the files that DU made but did not remove when erasing the free space.

When you get your SL disk it will not have the iLife applications, that would have been on the second install disk that should have been with the computer. I forget which version of iLife you will need for SL but I think it is this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-iLife-Single-User-Mac/dp/B003XKRZES/ref=sr_1_1?ie= UTF8&qid=1409607702&sr=8-1&keywords=apple+ilife+11
A search of the forums will confirm or deny this.
As to whether a clean install will cure your problem, i.e. partition the HDD and install I would expect it to be yes, but there are no guarantees it is an old machine.

Hi chiekoo,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694#error21
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.
Best of luck,
Mario

I can not connect to server when all other devices in house can

Why can't I connect my iPad to the server when all other devices can?

You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

IPhone 6 and 6 plus jumping on and off wifi.. All other devices working properly

I recently purchased the iPhone 6 and iphone 6 plus and now having wifi issues. Sometimes they will stay connected for a couple of hours other times it will jump on and off 10 times on in a couple of minutes.Also note that I have a iPad mini,5c,4s,and all are staying connected properly. I called my internet provider and everything checked out ok. I also connected Apple and went through all the settings and checked out ok. They suggested a new router... not sure that would be it since all other devices are working fine. Any help would be appreciated!!!!

I have the same problem. iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8.1

I have just updated the i06 software for my iPad and it will not connect to my home wifi network - all my other devices are able to connect to my wifi network.
I have attempted all troubleshooting actions suggested and nothing has worked. I have restored my iPad network and factory settings - Please help - this is frustrating me

you have to set up your router to solve th problem. first find and write down the ipad mac address.
then log on to your router using your laptop or any device that can connect to router at 192.168.0.1 in your web browser. please check out my posting about how to resolve the wifi connection problem.
i think the ios6 update has reset the networking but if you set up the router then you should not have the same problem any more.

When my 4S connects to my home wifi, it kicks all other devices off and the router has to be restarted. Can anyone help?

I am using an iPhone 4S with 16gb memory. I did not yet update to iOS 8. I'm using 7.1.2. I have never had any problems previously using 3G or wifi. We just moved and have a new Netgear router supplied by our new ISP. We have ADSL connection. The router seems to be working fine for all the devices in the house. At any time we may have 2 or 3 laptops connected, as well as Kindle Fires, iPod Touches, and my husband's iPhone (which is the same make, model, year as mine). My iPhone will connect, but usually within minutes after connecting my iPhone 4S (though sometimes 30 minutes or more later), it kicks everyone offline and the router needs to be restarted. The router shows appropriate green lights and I can see it on my list of available networks, but if I try to connect I get the "unable to connect to this network" message until we restart the router. No one else is able to reconnect until the restart, either.
I have tried resetting network settings on my iPhone. I have completely turned off my iPhone and the router. I have talked with someone at our ISP and they did a reset of the router with me. They think the router is bad. But it works completely fine for everyone else in the house, so I can't help but think we are having a connection issue between the router and my iPhone.
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Is her iPhone in a case by any chance? If so, remove the case and try again. How does her iPhone work in free Wi-Fi locations?
Try resetting the iPhone...
Press and hold the Home and On/Off buttons simultaneously until you see the Apple logo, then release. This may take up to 10 seconds. This is the equivalent of a re-boot and you will not lose any data.
If none of the above work take it to an Apple store or AASP for evaluation. She will not be charged folr this and they will suggest a solution if there is a fault.

Care to share which OS you are using?
Have you read for possible solutions over in the "More Like This" thread over here?----------------------->
Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

Wifi not reaching all rooms in the house

Why won't my wifi reach all rooms in my house? Bought an extender, wifi still drops frequently. Very frustrating.

actually i dont hv much knowledge abt networking. i dont know the difference between bridge, access point, repeater.
wat i want is that my current wifi router range is not reaching in all the rooms of my house so i want to extend the range so that i can use internet and share files and printers from all the rooms of my house.
so u only suggest me wat shud i opt for?
on many websites it is mentioned that wrt160nl can b bridged wit any brand router. and also it is compatible wit third party firmware like dd-wrt. with which its quite easy to use it as client bridge.
but as i told u i dont hv much knowledge so there is a big question mark in front of me????
plz suggest some easy cheap n useful solution
