Power Mac G4 won't connect to WPA Enterprise

At the university that I work at we are updating our wireless network to use WPA Enterprise only, instead of WEP 802.1x and WPA Enterprise. The computer that I am having problems with is our test machine for writing connection documentation for the students, faculty, and staff. I can get the computer to access the network trough WEP 802.1x but not WPA Enterprise. The computer will start the connection process and then fail and not connect to the network.

First, make sure you have at least these versions of the Airport software:
107795- AirPort Card: When You Can Join a WPA Network
Then read this article about set-up, including WPA Enterprise:
107921- AirPort for Mac OS X 10.3 or later: Using different types of wireless security (WEP and WPA)
"For a school or business, WPA Enterprise can provide each user with unique credentials. WPA Enterprise uses the same security as WPA Personal, but with the added measure of individual usernames and passwords (WPA Personal uses a shared password). Each wireless base station communicates with a RADIUS server to authenticate the user's credentials."
"You may need the help of a network administrator to join an 802.1x network."

Power Mac G5 Won't Connect to Linsys Router via PC

Greetings, I'm running a Windows XP Professional machine that is hard wired to a cable modem and connected to a Linksys Router (the WRT54G). I have a Power Mac G5 in the basement(running Panther) that recognizes the router but won't allow me to connect to the network, claiming I'm entering an invalid password. My original problem started without having the external airport antenna, but I received that today and still, no signal. The PC also recognizes an internal IP address beginning with 192... and the Mac recognizes one beginning with 169....anyone have any suggestions? I'm pulling my hair out of my head. Thanks.

Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.7)

sorry..you do have the configuration right. i think i'm having problems with both. i've been on the phone with Mac, Linksys and Microsoft for the last two weeks and no one can seem to figure out the problem. I took my G5 to an Apple Store, had the card tested and it worked. I've also connected the internet directly into the Mac and through the Router via Ehternet and that works.
I set the PC up with the Linksys software and created a Network---though, I can't seem to locate it on the PC. My Mac recognizes the Networks there when I click on the Airport Icon in the upper right hand corner, but tells me my password is invalid-same if I use Network Setup Assistant. If I Create a New Network through Airport and choose the Router's Channel, I get an Airport Window that shows full signal strength, but there are no lines in my Airport Icon in the upper right hand corner of my desktop, but rather a small box that looks like a mini TV inside the icon. Bizarre.
That is my dilemma in a nutshell. And as I said earlier, both machines still have Internal IP addresses. If I try and configure on the Mac Automatically, I get zilch. And the maddening thing is that I was actually able to get online about two weeks ago when this nightmare started..I didn't get past my Home Page, but I got on. Hope this clears it up a bit. Thanks.

Old Power Mac G3 won't connect to monitor

Before I consign it to the recycling depot I need to retrieve some files from my old G3, which I've rarely turned on for years. Problem is, it won't connect to the Sony monitor - no signal. The G3 makes all the right noises, as does the monitor, but then I just get the 'no signal' message on the monitor. Checked the input setting and the connections and can't find a problem. Worked perfectly last time I started it up about a year ago.
Any suggestions as to what the problem might be or an alternative method of seeing/accessing files on the G3 gratefully received!

Hi Ulessa,
Is this a Beige G3:
or
or a "Blue & White" G3:
Although released very close to each other in time, they are quite different and need different troubleshooting. Example: The Beige G3 may give no video at startup if the internal backup battery (or "PRAM" battery) is dead; the B&W is not as dramatic when faced with a dead battery.

Power Mac G5 won't connect to Sierra Wireless 318u

The Wireless Aircard will not work properly on my Power Mac G5. It installs fine and application opens but it will only say No device detected even though it's plugged into the USB port and the light on the Aircard is light up. I have tryed uninstalling and reinstalling the application whilst rebooting the computer inbetween but to no solution. Sierra Wireless Aircard model is 318U. Note on the other two macs i have (iMac and Macbook Pro) the Aircard works fine.

"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Reboot.

Mountain Lion won't connect to WPA-Enterprise

Configuration: Macbook Pro (8,2) running OS X 10.8.3.
My office's "IT Guy" changed our Wifi network recently, with the surprise side effect that the Mac users are now offline, including me. The odd thing is that my iPhone connects very nicely, as does my Windows (Bootcamp). When I'm booted into Windows and connected, here is the information I can glean from the network manager:
Security Type: WPA-Enterprise
Encryption Type: TKIP
NW Authentication Method: PEIP
He suggested I buy a little USB stick that would connect me, but that is over my "lame-ness" limit. The fact that the iPhone can connect but the Macbook can't is a little worrisome. Do I have any hope, assuming that firing the IT Guy and buying the USB stick are both off limits?

I had a similar situation happen to me today. Connecting to an Enterprise WPA2 network, and it authenticated correctly via PEAP (MSCHAPv2) but still would not show a good Connected status.
What seemed to work was to go into Network preferences, click the Advanced button, Select TCP/IP tab, and click Renew DHCP Lease.
Not sure why the MacBook did not connect, while the iPhone did, but this seemed to give the connection a good Connected status and the exclamation point on the WiFi network went away.
And it's been 15 minute and the user has not come back to bug me again!

Power Mac G5 won't boot with Lion?

After installing Lion, my early Intel 2010 Power Mac G5 won't boot. There were no problems for the first 2 days. The third day my G5 wouldn't boot at all. Not using Lion's recovery function, many attempts to boot from a previous system disk, and firewire target mode. The keyboard seems to be dead after attempting to boot except for the DVD eject key. All I get is a grey screen with an icon of a folder with a question mark within the folder. This icon blinks on and off continuously. Since the keyboard isn't working, I can't reset the PRAM, start in safe mode, or any other keyboard commands. The failed boot doesn't even get far enough for the Apple window to open. I replaced the hard drive and accomplished nothing except for spending even more money and time.
This is VERY frustrating! Has anyone else had a similar problem with booting after Lion't installation??
Thanks.

1) you have a Mac pro Early 2009, remember this. It avoids confusion here in forum
2) you're HDD's OS cannot be found by the firmware of the Mac hence it results to a question mark
perform the following(recommended to use a USB keyboard)
a) startup manager
press and hold option on startup. Do u see your HDD?
b) if you have a back up of your data then you can boot to the install disk and perform an erase and install
repairing the permission will not work since the disc's OS is different from the HDD's OS.

Mac mini won't connect to my wireless router!

I just bought my mac mini server then connected it to wifi, then after 2 weeks I had to go abroad for a week so I just turned off the switch connecting to my mac, without switching off my mac mini server. then when I get back home my mac mini won't connect to my wifi. I tried everything from manually setting up IP and DHCP nothing works. What happened?
thanks for help,
Jakarta

I didn't reset the machine/router itself because 2 of my computer is still connected to wifi-and working perfectly, but the mac mini server cannot connect to wifi.
what I did was to set up the "networking utilities"-having said that, what I did was to connect all over again to wifi, this did not work. I did tried to change from DHCP to manually set up IP, neither of these didn't work.
I'm now stucked!

My Mac Pro won't connect to Wifi?

My Mac Pro won't connect to the Wifi that it has been for the past 2+ years. All other devices in our home that use the same Wifi are working just fine.

Tried doing Network Diagnostics multiple times, did not work. Keeps saying it can't connect or times out.
What color was the light pertaining to Wifi in the left column? Red, Green, or Yellowish/Orange?
Some of the following you may have already tried:
Try the basics first:
Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
Disconnect & reconnect your modem. unplug it for about 10 seconds. Plug it back in. Do the same for Apple’s routers. Wait for everything to reboot.
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

mac mail won't connect to the Comcast POP or smpt servers
So your saying that you have comcast at home and it works fine from this machine?
If you mail works fine at home, then if it doesn't work on the road, it most likely isn't your machine. It is some other problem:

Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you for your time.
Sgmed.

Hi BDAqua,
After weeks of strugle I can use my MAC as normal, but everytime I shut it down, she cannot wake-up, I had to refer to your hints in order to start it up again. So right now I can use my MAC every day with "SLEEP" mode.
She just cannot RE-START or wake up after a SHUTDOWN.
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated, here under I pasted the log file retrieved from Disk Utilities.
(I tried also to reset PMU, SMU and PRAM but nothing helped. Perhaps she is in need of a brand new PRAM battery???

Help!! My Power Mac G5 won't start up!!

I was working on my computer when all of a sudden everything froze. I tried all the key commands and no response. So, I held the start button until it shut down. Then when I tried to start it back up again after a few minutes, by pushing the start button, only the fan starts. No start up chime. Nothing on my screen. Then the fan starts getting louder and louder like it going to explode! I quickly held the start button again until it shut down. I read through the manual and tried everything it said and still the same thing. I read through alot of the questions and answers on this forum...found alot of similar questions, but no answers that I can use. I tried replacing the surge protector, but still nothing. My business & life is on this computer and stupid me, I didn't back up much! Help!!

In the Mac OS X Installer, choose Utilities > Open Disk Utility.
Select the startup disk you want to repair in the list of disks and volumes, then click First Aid.
Click the button to verify or repair the disk or disk permissions.
Check the S.M.A.R.T. status of your hard disk at the bottom of the window. If it shows "Verified," the disk has nothing wrong at this time. If you see "About to Fail" in red letters, back up your files on the disk as soon as possible and replace the disk."

"Troubleshooting: My computer displays no video
If your computer won't display video, here's how to troubleshoot it. Please keep in mind that although your computer may display similar symptoms that prevent it from turning on, this article discusses what to do if the computer won't display video, meaning that when you press the power button:
You may hear a startup chime
You may hear fan or drive noise
You may see the power light on the computer light up
If your computer does not turn on, when you press the power button:
You won't hear a startup chime
You won't hear any fan or drive noise
The power indicator on the computer won't light up at all
If your computer is not responding at all, see the Troubleshooting: My computer won't turn on article instead.
If your computer won't display video but you can hear a startup chime, fans, drive noise, or you see the power light turn on, the first question is whether you have an external display attached (such as a Power Mac G4, Power Mac G5, Mac Pro or Mac mini) or if the display is built-in (such as an iMac, eMac, MacBook, MacBook Pro, iBook or PowerBook).
For external displays
Try these steps to resolve the issue:
Make sure that the monitor is turned on and has power. Make sure that the display's power cord is plugged into a working wall outlet, and that it's properly connected to the power adapter. (To check if the wall socket is working, plug in a lamp or other electrical device.)
Check that all video cable connections to the computer video port and to the monitor are properly connected.
Examine the pins on the video cable connector to make sure they are not bent or damaged in any way.
Connect a known working display (if you have an extra one available). If you see video after doing so, replace your old display.
Reset the computer's parameter RAM. (Click the link for instructions.)
On a Mac mini, reset the computer's PMU. (Click the link for instructions.) For Power Macintosh G3, Power Mac G4, or Power Mac G5 computers, check your user guide for the location of the PMU reset button on the logic board.
Next we're going to check to see if the computer has video when started up from a disc:
Find the Install or Restore disc that came with the computer. Insert the Software Install and Restore disc into your CD/DVD drive. The disc may look something like the picture below.
Shut down your computer.
Once it's off, hold down the C key on the keyboard and start up your computer. This will start up the computer from the Software Install and Restore disc instead of your hard drive.
If you see video when started up from disc, you may have corrupted software. You can use the Archive and Install feature of the Mac OS X installer to reinstall. This kind of installation gives you a fresh version of Mac OS X, but you don't lose any data from the computer as your old information is all archived.
If you tried all of the steps above and the computer still won't display video, contact Apple technical support (1-800-APL-CARE in the U.S.) or take your computer to your local Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for diagnosis.
For built-in displays
Try these steps to resolve the issue:
Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a working wall outlet, and that it's properly connected to the power adapter. (To check if the wall socket is working, plug in a lamp or other electrical device.)
Make sure that the power adapter is properly connected to the power port on the back of the computer.
Reset the computer's parameter RAM. (Click the link for instructions.)
On an iBook or PowerBook, reset the computer's PMU. (Click the link for instructions.)
Next we're going to check to see if the computer has video when started up from a disc:
Find the Install or Restore disc that came with the computer. Insert the Software Install and Restore disc into your CD/DVD drive. The disc may look something like the picture below.

Power Mac G5 won't restart after installing 10.4.10 update

Good Morning,
Last night I finally updated my Power Mac G5 to Tiger. That went just fine and I verified that everything was still functional and I could still connect to the web via my DSL. No problems yet...
I then downloaded the 10.4.10 update from Apple and installed it. When asked for Restart or Shutdown I chose Restart. The beginning of my problem. Upon restart I got the chime and the grey screen with the apple logo followed by the spinning stopwatch icon. It just kept spinning...for like 20 minutes. Then the fans started to wind up louder and louder and the spinning stopwatch icon stopped in it's tracks. I shut it down. It happened again.
Suggestions?
Trying to start from a disc (while holding down the "C" key) didn't seem to work any differently and wound up at the same result. Ironically, it just came out of the extended Applecare warranty this past February.
Thanks for any suggestions in advance,
Jim

So you can't use Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk? It won't get there? If it does, does your drive show up, and what is it's S.M.A.R.T. status please?
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them.
Cheers!

Power Mac G4 won't recognize Airport Extreme

I have a Power Mac G4 with Airport Extreme installed correctly (I looked at the official Apple Guide to installing it) and it doesn't show up. I have Airport Driver Software version 3.3 Installed. I don't know how to fix this..
Cheers,
Adam

What model Airport Extreme are you talking about??
The wireless card in the G4 is probably too old to support WPA2 security.. might even be too old to support WPA security.
So you should try using no security at all and see if that works.. if so and WPA does not work.. then the wireless is simply too old.. it needs WEP security but the WEP code is now wide open and it is trivial for people to hack so forget about it.
If you want to connect a G4 to a modern wireless network.. use a wireless bridge to ethernet.. and plug the G4 via cabled connection only.

Dual 1.8Gb power mac G5 won't start up. No chime or video.

I have a dual 1.8Gb power mac G5 that won't start up after the weekend. The computer was being run as a server using OSX 10.3. When my employee came in on Monday she said the fan was running full blast, but there was no video and the computer was totally unresponsive. The computer has been restarted with and without periferials plugged in, reset the PRAM and SMU/PMU/Cuda switch. Tried different monitor. I've put the hard drive in another G5 and it worked fine. I've also noticed that this computer does not click (sounds like a relay) when plugging/unplugging the power cord. I've always noticed my other G5 does this. Any ideas? I'd like to try and fix it myself and save the "Apple Authorized Service Provider" costs. Thanks!

It doesn't seem to matter if anything is hooked up or not ... mine nor his. I've tried three different power cords in two different locations. I wouldn't know what to "tighten" inside.
Most recently at home I've tried using just the mac keyboard an mouse connected to there own USB ports off the back of the CPU and then the Apple 17" studio display from the ADC output. Still nothing. I then tried the same setup, but with a 17" CRT monitor using the DVI output and the adaptor (finally found the adaptor). It booted up fully once, but then died (I wasn't there when it happened, but when I came back no video, fans on full, and unresponsive). I hadn't had any more success until this morning when I tried to fire it up again, and it came on, but with distorted video (the one that says you need to restart your computer). I'm beginning to think this is a bad power supply problem due to the specific component failure (same bad capacitors as the iMacs), but mine doesn't quite fall within the serial number range (just before).
Thanks for the help!
