No signal at all on Airport suddenly??

I have a Powerbook G4 and have never had problems using airport to connect to the internet but I just swtiched it on after 10 days and it is no longer showing any signal at all. It is definitely switched on I have checked a bizzilion times so why is the signal gone? Last time I used it 10 days ago I was in the same spot exactly and had full signal. I also have an iphone and a pc both receiving full signal in the same spot? My daughter was fiddling with some buttons but I am sure it cant be this. I cant get any of the other internet connections to work either although I have never tried them before so dont know if I'm just mucking things up more? i.e vp something is not configured - does this need to be configured? Is their a system restore I can try to go back to the last time it worked?
Any help would be really gratefully recieved.
Thanks
Nicky

Hello georgew44. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I'm assuming that you're not able to access the Internet with your AirPort Express Base Station (AX), not just void of a status light ... correct? If you have already performed the "factory default" reset, and still cannot access the AX ... and based on your comments, I'm afraid it's quite likely that the AX has failed.

All of a sudden, no signal

I've had the Airport Extreme for at least five years and it's worked perfectly, All of a sudden, it drops off in the middle of reading mail messages. Signal strength is down to zero, but Internet Connect still shows the Airport as connected -- just nothing coming in.
Lights still flashing like normal on the unit, did the usual -- unplug and plug back in and then pushing the reset button. Still no change -- lights flashing, but no signal strength, even on the iBook sitting right next to it. The iBook works with the Ethernet plugged in, so it's not a computer or cable modem problem.
Do I need a new Airport?
Tom

Two possibilities.
Faulty wireless RF radio module on the Mac, or faulty RF radio on the extreme base station.
However, even your 2nd working iBook also get zero signal. That's probably a good indication that the base station is gone.
I'm afraid, you may need a new base station.

I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. It is not an issue with the service/router. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport... anyone know what's up with this?

I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. I am able to connect to other networks but not my own. It is not an issue with the service/router because other devices connect fine. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport. Last time it happended I called apple and the suggested I wipe my HD and reinstall everything. I did and it did not work. One day I turned my laptop on and it connected no problem. Now it has kicked me off again. I tried resetting my IP address but that does not work either! Has anyone had this problem?

Try this:
Apple menu / System Preferences / Network.
Click Location: and select Edit Locations..
Click + (plus sign), and enter a name for the new location - anything will do.
Apply this.

Last night my iphone screen all of a sudden was solid blue and now it is black. I tried turning it on and off. Still nothing appeared on the screen. I put it on the charger and this morning it is totally black. However, when I hit the on and off button, I did hear the text message signal go off. When I turned the volume on and off a big white bell flashed. In the last week, there were some other display problems such as the screen blowing up large. The only way to fix it was to turn off the phone and then turn it back on.
What does all of this mean? It seems like I've had these problems since the iphone 4 upgrade.

just do reset, press home button and power butoon for a while untill you can see apple
gud luck

Is my airport broken? My wireless has stopped all of a sudden! No solution works!

hi, I need help please. After working fine for years my wireless connection on my desktop which is on snow leoperd 10.6.8 has stopped connecting all of a sudden. It works fine on my macbook pro and my iphone. When I turn it on I get none of your preffered networks available, I find my network and when I type in the password for my network I get connection timeout. In diagnostics I have.....
Airport failed
Airport settings failed
Network setting failed
It has connected a couple of times randomly but goes off when I try to load a page,
I have tried loads of solutions from forums like....
deleting networks and creating a new one
changing channels and even tried deleting the system preference files from the library but still no joy.
I just want to ask for any other solutions before I have to take it 50 miles to the nearest 'genius centre' to get it looked at.
Could my airport be broken?

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Also try this - Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

PLEASE HELP ME, Problems with airport/network set up all of a sudden.

Ok here goes. Saturday Aug. 19 I was on the internet, everythings fine. Then all of a sudden my airport drops/disconnects. I went into assistant, internet connect, preferences and so on. My computer tells me in Network Diagnostics that the airport is green, airport settings is green, network setting is green, isp is green, but internet and server are red. Ive messed around with it to no prevail, in fact I believe I think I have made it worse. Now only the airport is green. I have know idea. My roommate also has an Apple and his wireless/airport is fine, nothings changed. As I have "messed" with it, I have come across a section where it tells me my internet set up/preferences or something has been changed by another application, if that makes any sense. This is not so much a problem as it is a hassel. Now I must sit at the coffee table to get on the internet.
Is there a way to start over or is this a serious problem needing an Apple store tec? Can someone walk me through what I need to do to fix this, as I have no idea what Im doing.
If there is any more information needed... Please ask.

No the password isn't your apple id password.
You encrypted your backup with a password, if you don't remember the password, then i'm sorry you won't be able to use it.

Airport card can see networks but can't connect all of a sudden

I have an older MacBook running 10.6.8 (snow leopard) and it's been working fine. All of a sudden, it can see networks, but cannot connect. I get an alert with an exclamation point and "no Internet connection". My iPad can connect just fine; same network, same location as usual, so I know it's not an issue with the network/router (my husband's computer works fine as well). If my airport card went, I wouldn't be able to see any networks at all, right? Is there anything I can do? My AppleCare has run out, due to the age of my computer and I don't want to put hundreds into fixing it, either (nor can I afford it). Has anyone had this happen? Any suggestions? Thanks!

Airport Extreme Airdisk's REALLY SLOW all of a sudden

I have my media hard drive connected via USB to my Airport Extreme. It serves all the media for my iTunes libraries etc. It's been working flawlessly for months, but now all of a sudden, it's cripplingly slow.
I've been trying to transfer one 800mb video file all night and it keeps saying "21 hours" and only transfers a few kb every minute or two.
I've restarted my Airport Extreme, disconnected and reconnected the USB HD and restarted the ADSL modem the AE connects to the internet through. I've also tried a variety of different files.
No difference.
Any thoughts? I know I could completely reset my AE, but if a restart won't fix it, then I doubt a reset will.

chirhodesign, any update on the situation?
i'm helping my friend overseas with this exact same problem. she just bought a new hdd and as a shared network drive via airport extreme it's EXTREMELY SLOW, maybe around 100kbps transfer rate. we're pulling our hair out trying to troubleshoot this.
does anybody have a possible solution?

No signal on phone all of a sudden

My phone is all of a sudden searching for a signal but my wifi is working. My signal will once in a while come back but then when i go to send a message, it goes back to searching for service. I tried turning my phone on and off several times, checked my settings... How do I fix this?

i am having the same problem here the only sim that gets signal is t-mobile try that sim and see if that works other than that none of the other sims work it says no service
i recommend you take it to apple store if you have warranty on it but first you will need to book an appointment for one of the apple geniuses to look at the problem and if its not fixable then they will arrange to give you a replacement phone

Unable to connect via airport all of a sudden

Unable to connect to the internet via airport all of a sudden. No changes to modem or router or network settings of macbook etc. Other devices in the house can connect just fine, but called cable support to verify and all is fine on the DSL end. Cannot download updates w/o internet connectivity. Have tried going thru the motions of setting up airport again and cannot get past the DHCP (can't remember exact letters at the moment) as my carrier is not a PPoE. Aside from reinstalling the OS to see if that will fix, does anyone else have any suggestions? Apparently this happens more often than I thought based upon other posts. Thank you!

Thank you for your help and it was a big help. I removed Norton software firewall, and firefox began to work. I thank you for your help and suggestion.

So my iPhone 4S started draining battery after recent update, battery got changed and it worked perfect for 3 days, all of a sudden the phone won't stay on unless connected to mains... Cannot receive any signal "searching" constantly. HELP

So my iPhone 4S started draining battery after recent update, battery got changed and it worked perfect for 3 days, all of a sudden the phone shut down and now won't stay on unless connected to mains... Claims its at 100% battery but thats impossible as it was at 30% before it shut down randomly.
Cannot receive any signal "searching" constantly.
Turns off as soon as removed from usb ... wont stay on connected to laptop!
HELP!

The iPhone includes a one year warranty. If an Apple store is not nearby, you can call AppleCare and handle an exchange under warranty over the phone. The exchange will be shipped to your door - someone must sign for the delivery so if no one will be at home, have it delivered where you work. You use the same box to return the existing iPhone back to Apple. Return shipping label and tape to reveal the box incuded - call the carrier with number incuded when the box is ready to be picked up. AppleCare will request a credit card in the event the existing iPhone is not returned within 10 days after the exchange under warranty is received.
Hardware can fail - it happens, which is why there is a one year warranty.

I use itunes to play music through my airport express but sometimes the songs cut out sporatically. a song will be playing along then all of a sudden there is intermittant music and silence. What could be causing this?

I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

TS1398 My 3GS all of a sudden must be VERY close to a modem to recieve a WIFI signal. Tried resetting my network settings with no joy. Any ideas?

All of a sudden I have to be Very close to a modem to recieve wifi. Tried resetting network settings, no joy. This is true for all modems everywhere. Any ideas?

Your home wifi may possibly be having issues. Call the company that does your wifi and they should send someone out to service it.

Why can't I print all of a sudden? - Can you suggest?

I have networked a printer through my new airport extreme.
Everything "had" worked fine. I was able to print wirelessly with my Macbook and a hardwired PC. It has been several weeks since I've tried printing.....and it won't work? I have no idea what happened!
The PC just stops and says printing error. The Macbook gets to 29% in print status and just sits there...?????
Can anyone please give me some suggestions on what to check? I would think it's not a computer problem since two computers are having trouble. Is there some type reset function to try?
Thank you!

I got it working, but I don't believe I can explain how! Unplugged things a few times. Was able to print a simple word doc, but it took about 3 minutes!! Even though I had a full signal and a green light, I wasn't able to get on the internet either.
All of a sudden the internet worked and I was able to print a page much faster>>???
Don't understand what was going on, but it works now.
Thank you!
