"no airport card installed" on 17'PowerBook G4 after installing 10.5.1

My Airport card suddenly went away. System profile says 'no information" and finder bar says : no airport card installed" I have tried removing the .kext file in question (AppleAirport.kext) to no avail. Tried zapping the pram, safe mode etc. Apple techs no help. Anybody know the fix? Thanks in advance for the help.
PS, I must mention that I have had numerous other issues with 10.5 and 10.5.1 - I dont think it likes PowerPC's!
cheers!

Just got the same problem on my 17 inch powerbook again, Previously fixed by repairing permissions and repairing disk with the disk utility. Not this time. Your previous note is several month old- did you resolve the problem?

Installed and used Gravity (once after installing-) but not able to find in menu/prog. manager?
Ovi Store says it is installed but now nowhere to be found on the 5230.
Help please - this is a really cool app. that I am keen to keep using.

As Chanchan says viruses don't affect S^3 phones , so if you had one , you wouldn't need to worry ! Fortunately they don't affect S60 5th edition phones either If you purchased Gravity you will have a licence attached to your phones imei numberand so can download and re-install again free of charge, as the licence will be recognised by the application, which should appear in the applications folder on your phone, or in one of the folders in there, the latest version of Gravity is available here

How and if I can update my airport card slot in my Powerbook G4.

I bought a used powerbook G4 a week ago, and it was in good condition, but it did'nt come with an airport card. So I went out and bought the new airport extreme card from london drugs, and read my manual on how to install it. Then I took the laptop apart and tried to fit the airort extreme card into the slot but it wouldnt fit, so then I kept on reading the manual and found out that my laptop is equiped with the original airport card slot for the original airport card that apple has discontinued, and that the airport extreme card does not go in that slot so I was just wondering if I have to buy and install a new slot that fits the airport extreme card? Can some one please help me out thanks!
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

You cannot use an AirPort Extreme card in your model of Mac. Your options for wireless access are:
1. Use the original AirPort card.
2. Purchase a third-party wireless card which will fit in your computer's PCMCIA slot.
3. Use an Ethernet adaptor such as this one.
4. Use an USB wireless adapter. This should only be done if you can't use any of the other options.

Adding Airport card to 867mhz Ti Powerbook?

Hi,
I have a 867mhz Titanium Powerbook that i need to add an Airport card too, how do do this and what will it (roughly) cost?

Just an added note to eww's info: I checked ebay a couple of months ago, and people were selling supposedly new/sealed cards for over $100, used a little under that.
Make sure you get an ORIGINAL AP card, NOT an Extreme or the newer version. You may also want to consider a PCMCIA wireless card (fits in PC card slot). Most people get better distance, they're cheaper, and you can get the "g" style (54mbps instead of 11). The drawback is that it takes up that slot and sticks out the side 3/4 of an inch or so. Some brands work seamlessly with Apple's built-in AP software.

How to install the airport card to my macbook?, How to install the airport card to my macbook?

One time when i was browsing using my macbook, it suddenly hanged. I waited for several minutes for it to return to its normal function to no avail. What i did was removed the battery then switched it on again. It worked again. But could not access the wifi anymore. When i clicked the wifi icon, it says, no airport card installed. What should i do?

I'm guessing there is a language issue here. The graphics card is the actual hardware (chip) in your computer that allows it to create graphics and show them on your display. There is no way to disable the graphics card on your Air because there would be no way to use it (it would not be able to display anything on any display). This is a little different on machines with multiple graphics processors, but that's not the case with your Air. I'd imagine you know what you want to do, we're just having trouble understanding your question.

HT1621 Is there a difference between an airport card for a G3 powerbook and a G4 iMac (Dome)

I have a G4 imac (dome) that I am trying to give to my grandchildren. The internet works perfectly well on my BT set up, but they have Virgin (cable) and it will not connect wirelessly. I think the G4 has a G3 Airport card. I am quite prepared to purchase a G4 Airport card as long as I know that it has different values to the G3. Does anyone have any information regarding these cards.

Guy would this be of any help:
To start up your computer in Apple Hardware Test:
Press the power button to turn on your computer.
Press and hold the D key before the gray startup screen appears. If Apple Hardware Test does not start up, see the Additional Information section at the end of this article.
Note: Some Macintosh computers that shipped with OS X Lion support the use of Apple Hardware Test over the Internet. These computers will start up to an Internet-based version of AHT if the hard drive does not contain AHT. An Internet-enabled connection via Ethernet or Wi-Fi is required to use this feature.
It takes a minute or so for Apple Hardware Test to start up and inspect your hardware configuration. While this is taking place, an icon appears on the screen:
When the process is complete, select your language and click the right arrow. If you aren't using a mouse, you can use the up and down arrows to select a language and then press the Return key.
The Apple Hardware Test console appears. You can choose which sort of test or tests to perform:
To perform all of the basic tests, click the Test button or press the "T" key or the Return key.
To perform a more thorough diagnostic test, select the "Perform extended testing" checkbox under the Test button before you click the Test button.
Your test results will appear in the window in the bottom-right of the console.
To exit AHT, click Restart or Shut Down at the bottom of the window.

Airport card not picking up any signals after IP configuration changed

Just had cable internet installed in my apartment, and in the course of setting up the IP configuration for the built-in ethernet connection, my airport card has stopped recognizing wireless networks in my building. Before I changed these settings, the card was working, and there are several networks in the building that it recognized. Now, it recognizes none. The menu appears in the top bar, and I can turn the airport on and off, but it simply is not picking up any signals whatsoever.
I have tried a handful of tactics, including changing the Airport TCP/IP configuration in several different ways, rebooting several times, and even removing and reinserting the Airport card.
For info: I'm using an iBook G3 with OS 10.2.8. (I know, pretty old, but it's still chugging along...)
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure. What's strange is that the very same computer was picking up signals (not accessing them b/c they were all password protected), recognizing networks in the area at least, before I played with the other IP configuration settings. Now it picks up none. It shows that there are none in the area, even though I know that there are.
Also, often, when I click on the Airport icon in the menu bar, the computer hangs for up to a minute before the menu actually pops up.
I have an Airport Express unit that I have hooked up to the cable modem, and my Airport card won't even recognize that signal. I'm just not sure what I changed that made it go haywire. I've been using this computer on wireless networks for the entire time I've owned it. Never had this problem before yesterday.
Thanks for any additional suggestions anyone can offer.

MacBook (Black) Airport card fail to detect and enable after wake

I have had problems with my internal Airport card, I was having problems when the macbook started with not airport card detection, card overheating after using, this happened randomly.
After a apple certificated distribuitor test (for warranty) they found that it was only the airport card, they changed. After that, I have less issues with airport, but I still have the problem that the airport card doesn't work (disabled) after wake from suspended mode.
Is it a software or hardware issue?
Any idea, suggestion or fix?
I really desappointed with mac performance/quality after these issues.

Hello,
I guess I'm having same issue like yours, but my card somehow start to work when I turn airport off then on again. Once macbook awake from sleep or suspended mode, the WIFI signal would shown in "weak" status, then turn "strong" suddenly, but the actual connection is very unstable. I need to turn off the card then on again every time to solve the problem. I tried SMC reset or other method, but the problem still remain...

Clean install vs. time machine recovery after installing new HDD

Hello All,
I have got actually two questions, but I think I only can do one issue at the time. Anyway: Here are my specs and question:
1. I have got a 2010 MacBook Pro with a 320 Gb HDD which seems to be on its way to lala land (crashes almost once every quarter year)
2. I have backed up my Mac with TimeMachine to uptodate
3. I have created a boot disk and purchased a new 1 Tb HDD to be installed
4. I plan to install new HDD in a bit
So here is the question:
Shall I make a clean install of Mavericks (and if so, how do I get all my e-mail and other data onto the new HDD), or should I just go with the latest TimeMachine update?
(Also: If I partitioned the HDD and designate one only for apps and the other only for data, how would I do that?)
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. ... thanks, theo

Thank you for your swift responce and help
So this solution would remove the "clutter" and restore performace?

Installing Windows 7 in Bootcamp after Installing Mountain Lion

Before installing Mountain Lion I erased Windows XP and all contents from Bootcamp. Now I am running Mountain Lion and attempting to put windows 7 on Bootcamp 5.0.0. I ran the disk utility on Bootcamp and it shows (formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with 35 G available and nothing on it.
When I begin the Bootcamp assistant gives me a message "The Startup Disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition. The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Exteded (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing witndow." I clicked OK and was able to download the support software. Once I did that I inserted the Windows 7 CD but the Bootcamp assistant doesn't let me check the install box.
How do I install Win 7 in bootcamp. Thanks for your help.

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use BootCamp. There's a BootCamp Support Community where everybody uses BootCamp. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

I get a message to install legacy JAVA SE 6, after installing Yosemite

After installing the OS X Yosemite I get the message: to open "CS5ServiceManager" you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime. A link to download legacy JAVA is provided but webpage is frozen. Any suggestions or links?

The person at Adobe was not very educated on the subject. Compared to newer verions of Java, yes, it's less secure. But the only real danger of Java (not JavaScript) is having Java enabled in a web browser. By default in Mavericks and Yosemite, Java is off.
If you install Java 8 from Oracle, it will automatically enable Java in your browser. You then need to go into the System Preferences Java control applet to turn it off.
The Java 6 runtime linked to above does not enable Java in your browser. It's there simply to support apps (like Adobe's) that need it to function. In that respect, it's perfectly safe. I have Java 6 and 8 both installed on my Mac. I need 6 for X-Rite's ColorPort app, and the newer one for Java apps I have to use to upload client images to get prints made. With Java disabled in the web browsers, it is, again, perfectly safe.

Can i install mac osx back again after installing windows 7 on my mac book a1181?

i have apple mac book a1181 white, but i had problem logging on as it was secured by a password, and i allready lost my recovery dvd, so i installed windows 7 on my mac book a1181 by deleting its partition from GTP to NTFS but i experienced problems after installing windows 7 as sound was not comming as i could not find sound drivers for macintosh, so now i plan again to restore my apple macbook a1181 back by reinstalling mac osx 10.5.8, how can i again install mac osx on my notebook and is it possible to re-install mac on my notebook? please give me some help.

Insert your OS X install disc and restart holding the C key, hold it down until you see the Apple logo and spinning gear. Choose your language and at the next screen from the top menu bar select Utilities-Disk Utility. Select your internal hard drive, click on the Partition tab and select 1 partition. Click on the Options button and select GUID partition scheme. Click OK. Choose to format the drive as Mac OS Extended Journaled. When Disk Utility is done and your drive is properly partitioned and formatted quit DU and go back to the installer screen and reinstall OS X. When you're up and running run software update a couple times to get everything up to date as far as you can with 10.5.8. Then consider upgrading to OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard for $19.99 here http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

What drivers do i need to install on my Lenovo Y530 after installing Windows 7???

I just installed Windows 7 on my new Lenovo Y530 and want to know what drivers need to be installed. A few problems is the surround sound speakers, the laptop had amazing sound before i put 7 on it and now the speakers aren't working together.
Also the Veriface login isnt working, does anyone know how to connect it properly??

You're using the MS .NET Framework Provider for Oracle. You will need to install the Oracle client on each client machine using a Windows Form to access Oracle.
You will also need to include the MS .NET Framework Provider for Oracle. I can't remember if MS includes it with .NET Framework or not, however.
