Old Airport card not recognizing Apple Airport Router.

Hello there,
I've just been given an old G4 (digital audio) to use for university and after doing some research brought an old Airport card off of ebay.
After putting into the relevant slot and plugging it in, it started to recognize all of my neighbor's networks, but not my own which is run from an Apple Router!
I also have a faster G4 iBook which uses the airport extreme card and it can find it no problem?
Is it a lost cause trying to get such an old card trying to find the router? I'd rather avoid having to 'borrow' my neighbor's connection if I can help it.

Hi duane,
Thanks for the prompt reply.
My airport base station has just been reset and is currently using the default channel (which i believe is 2) and the airport card still is refusing to notice it.

  • GeForce4 TI Video Card Not Recognized Anymore?

    For about almost a year, the fan on the GeForce4 TI video card would occasionally make a grinding noise, although it has always been easily fixed by lightly sticking a finger on the fan to stop it for a second and it would go back to normal.
    However, about a month ago this little fix stopped working. The grinding noise was unbearable. After searching the Internet for a few minutes, I found out that I wasn't the only one suffering from this problem, and some even offered tips on how to replace the fan.
    I followed the steps very carefully and made sure the card was not harmed. After installing the new fan, which was very easy, I stuck it back into the Power Mac and boot it up. However the monitor didn't find a signal.
    I was glad that I installed Remote Desktop on the Power Mac so I was able to connect to it and see what's going on. I opened Apple System Profiler and noticed that the computer isn't properly recognizing the graphics card anymore! Instead of the very detailed information I'm used to seeing, this is what I saw below:
    pci10de,a:
    Type: VGA-Compatible Controller
    Bus: AGP
    Slot: SLOT-1
    Vendor: nVIDIA (0x10de)
    Device ID: 0x252
    Revision ID: 0x00a3
    I have no clue what this means as it seems like the computer still recognizes A video card. Also this also gave me the impression that the Power Mac is missing the drivers, but that's impossible as I haven't touched the software on the hard drive and nVidia drivers are part of OS X.
    If the card is broken then fine, I'll take my losses and buy a new one as I would hate to just throw the computer away since it still more than fulfill my needs. But I just hope the AGP slot isn't broken.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Just for clarification:
    You have two systems based on the same MS-7008 mainboard, correct? Both use the same BIOS Version?
    In one system, the card is functioning, running in AGP 3.0 Mode x8 and in the other, same mainboard model, what are the symptoms of "video card not recognized" besides the AGP 2.0 Mode x4 limitation?
    I mean, if you can see the BIOS Setup, the card is putting something out on the screen, right?

  • Songs in music library downloaded from a CD and synced to my old IPOD are not recognized by my new IPOD classic.  What is the fix?

    Songs in music library downloaded from a CD and synced to my old IPOD are not recognized by my new IPOD classic.  What is the fix?

    If you are using automatic syncing with your old iPod, select that iPod in iTunes and go to its Music tab (next to Summary).  Note how this Music tab is set up.  Maybe you can do a screen shot.
    Now, select the new iPod in iTunes.  Go to its Music tab, like you did for the old iPod.  Set up the new iPod's Music tab exactly like the old iPod, and Apply the change. 
    The music on your new iPod should now match the old iPod.

  • Airport Card Not Recognized on iMac DV 400 SE Slot Loading

    I just installed an airport card with adapter per Apple's instructions. It is not recognized in the Network list in System preferences. Internal Modem is listed as well as Built-in-Ethernet (with an active Internet connection). Has 10.3.9 and the latest Airport software updates.
    It was taken from a working iMac and installed in my iMac. Any idea what the problem might be?

    Will do. Thanks for the advice.
    This computer is somewhat of a cultural icon. One of the first computers configured out of the box for video editing. On a Contour stand, 130 Gb HD, 1 GM ram. Still very functional after 8 1/2 years. Looks great in the studio. Just wanted to wean it from it's ethernet connection.

  • Old ipod touch not recognized by itunes

    I have an old ipod touch (2g) that itunes will not recognize. When I go into 'My Computer' Windows recognizes it as a camera (which it's not, but that's another story) but itunes will not find the device. I've been through the entire "ipod not recognized" help menu (updated itunes, reinstalled itunes, restarted the ipod etc) and also restarted the Apple Mobile Device Service as well as Ipod Service. The ipod still charges, but I cannot sync anything. Ideas?

    I've tried all 4 ports on my computer, none of them work. When I plug in my older ipod nano, itunes recognizes it instantly.

  • New MacBook Pro, migrated from old machine, iphone not recognized

    I just got a new MBP and everything seems to have transferred over just fine except iTunes doesn't recognize either my iPhone or my iPad when plugged in. I have deauthorized the old computer and authorized the new one, the backups from yesterday on the old machine show up under preferences > devices. The only real difference between the 2 machines is the one was on Leopard and the new one is Snow Leopard! Any ideas? Thanks!

  • Graphics Card Not Recognized under Mavericks Update? MacBook Pro 8,2

    Every since I updated my macbook to mavericks, my dedicated graphics card is not recognized under system profiler or any software on the computer. I have the Macbook Pro 8,2 (late 2011) and the upgraded dedicated GeForce graphics card from the factory. My system is just running off of the integrated intel graphics at this point and there is no option to switch back in system preferences. Is my card just dead in there or did mavericks ignore it? I have no other operating systems to check. Should I just make an applestore appointment and get it looked at?

    Found the solution ... finally!
    Go to your system preferences - energy saver and then check if your Graphics setting is set to »higher performance«. Somehow the update to Mavericks change this setting to »better battery life«
    Now both cards are recognized and running ... however, watch out: since I changed that setting, my fans are going crazy! ... so I'm not sure if I should keep it. It would be much easier if one could change the setting all the time without the need to logout and login again ... well, Apple though good isn't the Holy Grail

  • Why are my PXI cards not recognized by Windows or MAX?

    I have a PXI-1045 chassis connected to a PC through MXI-4.  When I turn the chassis and PC on with a PXI card in slot 2, the message "Windows could not load the installer for DAQDevice.  Contact your hardware vendor for assistance." appears, and the PXI card is not recognized (it is scene by Windows as an unidentifiable PCI Devices, though I have a DAQmx installed).
    More details:
    Windows XP
    LabVIEW 8.0 installed
    TestStand 4.0 installed
    Latest DAQmx 8.XX installed
    NI Scope installed
    NI CAN installed
    MXI-4 PCI card installed in PC and recognized by Windows (as PCI-PCI bridge, and MXI-4 Device)
    I identified PXI chassis 1045 in MAX and on subsequent boot up saw that MAX complained about pxisys or some other ini file (in the chassis status area of the screen) so I configured it as 'other' then put in the PXI-resorce CD and selected the ini file for PXI-1045, MAX no longer complains about pxisys and instead says the chassis is configured properly
    If I have nothing but the PXI MXI-4 card installed in the PXI system and boot up the chassis then the PC, I get no errors
    If I have a card in slot two (I've tried PXI-6509 Industrial Digital IO, PXI-2569 Relay Module, and PXI-5102 Digital Oscilliscope) and boot the chassis then PC, the message "Windows could not load the installer for DAQDevice.  Contact your hardware vendor for assistance." shows up when Windows boots and Windows sees a PCI Device but can't identify any drivers for it. 

    Hello,
    Can you post a screenshot of the problem? Are you switching on the chassis first or the PC? Please make sure that you switch ON chassis and then boot the PC. This typically happens when you have a corrupted installation.  I would suggest downloading the latest version of driver from here and re-installing it.
    Please uninstall all the driver software from computer before installing the new software.

  • Windows 7 on iMac Core Duo - Graphics card not recognized

    I installed Windows 7 along with Boot Camp drivers for Vista 32 bit.
    But my grpahics card ATI X1600 is not recognized by Windows 7 RC.
    Any ideas on how I can get this to work?

    Most likely that means that the driver is returning bad information or crashing.
    Have you updated the driver from AMD's website?

  • Wifi card not recognized after reboot.

    I've got a Lenovo X140e and an Intel wifi card. (Intel Corporation Wireless-N 7260) that I installed myself, since the support for the Broadcom card it came with was spotty.
    If I reboot my laptop, the card won't show up with either iwconfig or even lspci. If I do a cold reboot (power down entirely and start back up), it will show up just fine.
    What gives?
    Relevant lspci output:
    01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev 4b)
            Subsystem: Intel Corporation Wireless-N 7260
            Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 38
            Memory at f1300000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
            Capabilities: <access denied>
            Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
            Kernel modules: iwlwifi

    When the card is recognized, rfkill lists it as unblocked; when it's not recognized, it doesn't show up at all.
    I've got i3 installed; for connection management I've been sort of trying different things - netctl never works but wifi-menu has been pretty reliable. I haven't installed any special power management stuff at all - I'm not really sure how to find out what was auto-installed?

  • HP Pavilion tx1000z - Wireless card not recognized

    Model: HP Pavilion tx1000z CTO Notebook PC
    Wireless has been working fine - two weeks ago it failed to be recognized. 
    1. Doesn't appear in Device Manager
    2. Wireless switch remains amber.
    3. Attempted to use Add hardware - not recognized.
    4. Pulled the card and re-installed.
    No solution.
    So...
    Contacted HP and purchased a replacement card.
    Installed new card.
    No solution.  Still failing to be recognized.
    All other ports are working to include the wired internal modem.
    Contaced HP help and their solution is to send it in to the repair center and for the low price of only $400(!) they'll replace the motherboard.  This was after zero troubleshooting on their part.
    Any help would GREATLY be appreciated as I'm a deployed soldier and this laptop is my one link to home.
    Thanks.

    Well I cannot self promote but am actually affiliated with a store that could do the repair, but I will steer you instead to some of our peers. A very lively industry has popped up on ebay for such things. These ads talk about the "no video" problem but the "no wireless" is caused by the same thing. I would communicate with them in advance of buying and make sure they understand it is the "no wireless" problem and I am sure they will explain how they can fix that, too.
    This guy does it for $125 flat and has a 100% rating:
    TX 1000 repair
    Here is another with a 99.6% rating
    $115
    They are all doing essentially the same repair which has proven to extend the life of the laptop by 12 to 18 months. I think somewhere up to $150 is fair for a year of use on a laptop as you would buy a new one for 4 times that or more and expect to get 3 or 4 years out of it.

  • SDHC cards not recognized​, xD cards read perfectly

    I have a problem with the card reader in my HP x18 1080ED notebook.
    When I put a 2GB xD memory card in the slot the card is recognized and shows up in My Computer and I can view the contents.
    But when I put in a SDHC card, 256MB or 8GB of 16GB, the light besides the reader lights up 8 times and then nothing happens. The card is not showing up in My Computer.
    I updated the driver, reinstalled it but no effect. I also check the cards in another computer also HP and the cards work on that computer. What is the problem can anyone help me!
    Thanks, hope you can help.

    your computer is a dv8-1080ed Correct?
    If so it may not support the SDHC type card.  I would got to the HP website and search Product information and Troubleshooting tab, in the Manuals section there should be a entry called External Media where it will list the type of cards your system supports. For the dv8-1080ed It doesn't appear that the SDHC cards are supported.

  • PCI-Servo-4A cards not recognized by computer

    After shipping a computer with PCI-Servo-4A cards (which had been working for 2 years), my computer did not recognized several of the cards. These cards are not recognized in other working computers, and both computers recognize other "good" PCI-Servo-4A cards. There is a hardware failure on the cards (I have 10 with this problem). Has anyone repaired PCI-Servo-4A cards with this problem, and is there a "shotgun approach" to replacing a most likely culprit part?
    Thanks
