Ok so I think I fried my airport and sound cards

as I posted in another section, I recently plugged my macbook into the speaker outputs of a PA system so I could record. Bad idea. As it turns out, i'm guessing the high voltage may have fried my logic board or something as i've no built in audio anymore nor airport card detection. I'm online now using the built in Ethernet and wondering how I can get sound back (I know I can replace my airport card). But as I've read, the sound is linked to the logic board maybe and I was wondering if it's possible to fix it, or can I send it to apple and pay for a replacement logic board?

As I said it wouldn't matter. Your warranty would be void even if it was a month old. This kind of damage is not covered under apples warranty. You would have to pay for it anyway.
This is from the apple warranty.
"This warranty does not apply: (a) to damage caused by use with non-Apple products; (b) to damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, flood, fire, earthquake or other external causes; (c) to damage caused by operating the product outside the permitted or intended uses described by Apple; (d) to damage caused by service (including upgrades and expansions) performed by anyone who is not a representative of Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider; (e) to a product or part that has been modified to significantly alter functionality or capability without the written permission of Apple; (f) to consumable parts, such as batteries, unless damage has occurred due to a defect in materials or workmanship; or (g) if any Apple serial number has been removed or defaced."

Missing screws in Airport and runway card

I have just purchased an airport extreme with built in bluetooth card and the runway card.
Unfortunately there were no screw/grommits supplied to fit them properly!
I have gone back to the resellers but they have none spare.
Does anyone know where i can get some in the UK?
I have managed to install the cards and they work great but I obviously need the screws.
TIA

i would contact applecare in the UK, assuming that it is still under warranty, as its a hardware issue.
Or if there is an applestore nearby.. London and Birmingham i think?

Airport and ethernet not working other computers are

I have a Mac Mini that I use daily. Today when I tried to get onto the internet the bars for airport in the menu bar were gone and a caution exclamation point was there. I restarted and that did not help. I then plugged in an ethnet cable and refigured the mini for ethernet. that did not work. I know the modem and router are working just fine and so is the ethernet since I have other computers on my home network and they all connect ok. Is the airport and ethernet card connected in that if one goes out so does the other? The mini is 2-1/2 years old. I have a Wii and a satellite box on the same shelf as the mini and they both connect to the internet just fine. is my mini toast?

In system preferences- network do you have show airport status in menu bar checked. To the left in network does airport show up. at the top in nework is it on.

Hi, I'm thinking of buying the Airport Express or Extreme for my school dormitory, would i need to plug them into the already existing school internet via LAN cable or do the products just work by themselves?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
AirPort stations aren't modems, so they have to be connected to the modem you are already using. The AirPort Extreme and Express have a WAN port, where you have to plug an Ethernet cable that has to be connected to the modem.
After doing this, you can set up the AirPort station by using AirPort Utility. If you have Windows, download AirPort Utility from the Apple website > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1547

Thinking of buyin gan airport extreme

Hi there,
Looking for some advice. I have a macbook intel core duo and a sony vaio desktop. I am thinking of buying an airport extreme so I can network my printer (dell 7100n) for both computers to use. I have my internet service through verizon fios and do not have a modem, only a wireless router. Should I be able to do this? I am sure this sounds like a silly question to most but I want to make sure I am buying the right thing for what I want to do.
Thank you for your help.

Plug the printer into the mac. Open system preferences and go to sharing. In the Services tab check 'Printer sharing'. Check 'Printer Sharing' in the Firewall tab (it should already be checked.
Go to Print and Fax in System prefs, under the sharing tab check 'share these printers' and check the printer you want to share.

Late 2005 - Airport and Bluetooth - won't work together

Hi everybody!
I have a problem with my Powermac G5 (late2005).
I have the Airport Extreme with Bluetooth 2.0+EDR card installed.
WLAN and Bluetooth work both if operated separately.
But when Airport is activated and running and I turn on Bluetooth (and connect for example my Magic Mouse) Airport breaks down. - I loose my connection and can't see any other wireless networks.
Switching to another Airport channel din't help.
Does anybody have an idea what to do?
Thanks a lot!
Chris

I just started trying BT.
I allready had a look at the cabling and read about it, that it doesnt matter how the calbes are connected to the airport card.
I don't think I can put anything between the antennas.
The late2005 has the build-in antenna (for Airport and BT)...
But I will have a look if I can place anything between an I will change the cabling...
Thanks so far!
Chris

I'm not sure how to post a message. I hope this might interest someone. The situation; 3 floors,I am having trouble with an an Airport Extreme, 802.11n on the top floor and a Mac Pro 3.1 on the bottom floor. Not always but often it has trouble seeing the Airport and making a connection. I have an older Airport Express, would it help to install it? would it work best if it was installed in the same room? should it be installed half way in between? Get another Extreme? The Mac Book Pro on the middle floor can see 11 networks in the neighbourhood if that might be causing a problem or would if I installed the Express. Thank for your consideration.

Thanks for your time ... I appologize for the font and colour, I compossed the question in pages and failed to notice the font colour as grey ... there are a variety of computers of various ages so I think it is using a setting that allows both 5G and 2.4 ... the connection to the Airport is thru a cable modem and cable does run throuhout the house ... maybe those hard wires would be a place to look at ... do you think that putting the 'Express' on the second floor might help ... thanks again ...

How to use iMac w/Airport and DSL connection as a wireless router ???

My iMac G5 (with Airport) is connected via Ethernet to a DSL modem.
I want to connect my iBook G3 (non-Airport) wirelessly through the G5 to access the internet in a small home network, (without a standalone router).
I have a USB adapter (ASUS wl-167G) and MAC OS drivers for the iBook. I seem to be getting a connection to the Airport card in the G5, but nothing to the modem with Safari or Firefox.
I need some detailed instructions on setting up the iMac to access the DSL normally AND pass through a wireless connection for the iBook.
Future plans are to buy an Airport Express for stereo and printer purposes.
If using the Express will greatly simplify what I'm trying to do here, please advise so, (and how), and I'll get one now.
Thanks
Ken

Thanks sig, but I am already set up that way. Also in sharing>internet>
Airport options: channel-automatic, firewall-off, services-on (file sharing,Etc.)
Network Status shows: Built -in -Ethernet, active and a IP address. Airport, sharing is on and using Airport and an ID #
I also tried setting Airport to channel 11 (what the USB "Dongle" is connected to).
Still no joy.
I think I may need to manually configure both Airport TCP/IP in the iMac, and the USB Adapter in the iBook but I don't know what values to enter for IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Router.
In way over my head, here. Any additional help is greatly appreciated.

Internet via airport AND ethernet dropping?

I have a new uMBP 13". When I connect to my home network it is the only computer on the network that will drop it's signal every 10 minutes at least. It searches for the network and reconnects a few seconds later but I have to manually search for the network and select.
I tried it with just the ethernet cable and airport turned off and the same thing happens.
I have an iMac connected wirelessly to the Netgear G router also running snow leopard which works fine.
I know there are discussions about airport dropping but this is airport and ethernet so where do I start with solving the problem?
Thanks

Hello William.
I've had similar problems, as described above. I have called AppleCare; I have found other threads on the forum(s) dealing with AirPort dropping connections; I have found much discussion of the subject on the web. There is a problem, and there appears to be no solution. Here is my related situation.
I have a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard; an oldish Netgear wireless router; and my wife is connected to this little LAN with my old iBook running Leopard. That machine, with Leopard, never loses a connection whereas my Macbook Pro with SL loses the Airport connection approximately every 24 hours. After talking with the ISP and Netgear I solved that problem initially by rebooting the router. Now, I find, I have only to turn AirPort off and then on again and the connection is reestablished.
Meanwhile, I tried switching over to ethernet. I turned Airport off, and ethernet on, with an automatically assigned DNS address. Again, to my amazement, the connection (with the internet) was dropped, again, about every 24 hours--long about 9:30 in the evening, for me. To reconnect ethernet to the web I only had to click "renew DHCP address" under the Advance tab in the network panel. I.e., the behavior was analogous to what I went thru with Airport.
I have to think that 1) since this doesn't happen to my wife's machine on the same network running Leopard, and since 2) the same thing happens whether I'm using AirPort or Ethernet to connect to the web, that this is something systemic in SL's networking innards.
I went over all of the router's connections and settings (no timing out issue), and I upgraded its firmware successfully. I've done all the usual troubleshooting gimmicks, and, of course, I've discussed this with AppleCare. They haven't the foggiest. Since the problem only recurs in a longish circadian cycle it's not something that can be dealt with over the phone.
I have to believe there's something wrong with the networking software in Snow Leopard. And, for what it's worth, if you do a search for this on Google there is a great deal of similar discussion.
Now my solution is simply to use Airport and to turn the program on and off via the menu bar. Unfortunately it raises cain with syncing--"Mingler" and iCal and iCal's system syncing software run away with the CPU. But that's another thread!
All the best,
Alarik

AOL causing problems with Airport and Mail

It's another reason to get rid of AOL, but my wife is still hooked... when her AOL is running on the iMac G5 connected to the DSL modem, other computers can't access the Internet over the Airport from this G5 (and for some reason, Mac Mail won't send e-mail). When AOL isn't running, the Airport and Mail problems are gone. (It took a while to figure out this was the problem!)
Does this problem have its root in the arcane world of sockets and ports? Or is there some AOL preference I can change to make it play nice with others?

I think it is simply how AOL works. If you log into AOL it only wants that one connection working.
The only router I know of that works with AOL is the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS). I suggest that you get an AEBS and use that to share the connection instead of your iMac G5.

Computer freezing run assist for airport and isp is failed

computer freezing run assist for airport and isp is failed. Go thru assist me and then it will reconnect the isp... I reset my 2wire thinking that would help but no.

Without more information, it's hard to tell what's wrong... Obliviously something has changed in your environment, if it has been working just fine before. Still, I'd do some testing, step by step with psexec (running under system account like the TS engine),
add some logging on all of the steps and try to solve the problem that way. You really, really should consider using app model with single script (with your own logging) to deploy your application. If you don't know why it has to use AD account for installation,
I'd contact the vendor and ask, that's just silly way for an installer to work, or have you even tried does it work with system account? You could also use procmon to actually see what's happening under the hood when the installer runs (with the Ad account
and with SYSTEM account)....

Airport and Modem Questions

Hello Everyone,
I have a Dual USB iBook with Airport and a MacBook with Airport Extreme. I use AOL dial up for the internet. I was thinking about getting an Airport Extreme base station (the older white one). Since there is a modem, can I connect to AOL wirelessly through dial up via the Airport modem?
I have another question, about my iBook. It is running 10.3.9, 500Mhz/320MB, and the modem will not dial. When I try to setup AOL, it goes to dialing the access number, but no matter what it does, it won't dial. It either says, "The modem could not get a carrier signal," or "The modem has reported that there is no dial tone." The modem is on, and it is set to Apple Internal Modem v.90. Help on both these questions would be GREATLY appreciated.
-Brian

Hi Brian!
I know nothing about Airport, so I will address your second question.
Try this procedure.
The configuration works for me on my iMac G3. You may need to make some adjustments for your particular Mac and Modem models.
Read the entire document. Pay attention to *Notes.
And if you have any questions, please ask them before preceeding.
Delete only the files listed, no more.
Sign off and Quit the AOL application.
See *Note 1
Navigate to:
HD > USERS > YOUR HOME > LIBRARY > PREFERENCES
If present, move to Trash:
com.apple.internetpref.plist (a file)
com.apple.internetconnect.plist (a file)
com.apple.internetconfig.plist (a file)
HD > USERS > SHARED > AMERICA ONLINE
If present, move to Trash:
Access Numbers (a file)
Disconnect Log (a file)
Session Diagnostics (a file)
HD > USERS > SHARED > AMERICA ONLINE > DATA
Move to Trash:
Home (file w/Globe icon)
Don't empty the Trash just yet.
*Note 1Before you change the settings below, you might want to make notes, or take screen shots of your present configurations. Actually, this should be done before you trash or move any of the files I've listed above.
Then, open System Preferences > Network
In each of these panels, after you have made your selections or changes, be sure to click on the "Apply Now" button in the lower right corner, if it's available.
Location: Select "Automatic"
Show: Select "Internal Modem", or however you connect.
On the PPP screen, click "PPP Options". CHECK ONLY THESE options:
"Send PPP echo packets"
"Use TCP header compression"
Click OK
On the TCP/IP screen, Configure using IPv4: Select "Using PPP"
On the Modem screen, Select your modem from the list. I'm using an iMac (Summer 2001), and I have "Apple Internal 56K Modem (v.90)" selected. Select your modem.
Check "Enable error correction and compression in modem"
"Wait for dial tone before dialing"
"Dialing": Tone
"Sound": On
"Show modem status in menubar" (This isn't really necessary, but it's handy.)
Also select your Country.
Then, still in "Network" preferences,
Location: "Automatic"
Show: "Network Port Configurations"
Make sure "Internal Modem", or however you connect, is checked and at the top of the list.
Click "Apply Now" at the bottom of the screen.
Quit System Preferences.
Before you sign on, you will have to reset your "Access Numbers" & "Location".
Load the AOL application.
On the Sign-On screen, Click "Setup".
Next screen, select: "Create a Location with Setup Assistant.
Click OK.
Next screen, select: "Add numbers from the list of access phone numbers".
Click OK.
Enter your Area Code, and click Next.
Click on an appropriate number to highlight, and then click "Add".
On the next screen, do not select either of the two "Dial" options.
Click OK.
Add at least 2 numbers in the same manner, and then click "Done".
That will take you back to your Sign-On screen.
On the Sign-On screen, Click "Setup" again.
Select "Add or change a modem or other connection".
Click "Next".
Click "Yes", on the resulting screen.
You should then be able to Sign On to AOL.
If everything is hunky dory, you can empty the Trash.
