Powerbook G4 can no longer connect to Time Capsule network

For more than a year, my Powerbook G4 17" was able to access the internet provided wirelessly via my Time Capsule. I recently had to reconfigure the Time Capsule setup to address an unrelated issue, and now I am unable to join the wireless network at all from the Powerbook. I would guess that I inadvertantly changed something about the setup of the Time Capsule, but I can't figure out what. All other wireless devices (iMac, Apple TV, iPad) in the house are able to connect without problem, so I know that it is at least not a password issue. Eventhough I enter the correct password for the network on the G4, I only get a "connection timeout" error.
Any suggestions as to what I might try to get connected again?

I presume you are on Mountain Lion.. it does have some network issues..
Try just rebooting.. and restart everything in the correct order..
Modem.. router/TC.. USB drive.. clients.. 2min gap between each.
If you still have issues do a verify of the drive.

After port forward, airport utility can no longer see my time capsule

I tried to forward public port 1025 to private port 80 on a raspberry pi using airport utility. But after I did that, the airport utility can no longer see my time capsule. Wifi still works correctly. Are there any conflicts about port 1025? How to fix that other than resetting the time capsule?
Thanks,
Michael

It doesn't sound like a port that is used.
From the standard google search.. nope.
Reboot the whole network..
No luck tell me what OS version you are running the utility on and what model and firmware TC???
Note with Yosemite, anything can and will happen.

Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

Since downloading iSO 5 i can no longer connect to a wireless network.

since downloading iSO 5 i can no longer connect to a wireless network. I have tried both at home and at other wireless hotspots. it would appear that none of the previous wireless connections work either? i just get the error "unable to connect to "x"
i have tried to "forget" and rejoin but that has not worked either.
what to do pleeeease?

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
Did you try to reset the network settings on your device?

TS2655 imac can no longer find the time capsule to add it...how do i fix this

my imac can no longer find the time capsule....i had to delete the old network and re add the time capsule to create a new one and now the imac keeps searching for the base and cant locate it

If you mean that Time Machine can't find the Time Capsule, I'd try using the Time Machine panel of System Preferences to redeclare your backup disk. If that's not what you mean, please explain.

Devices (iPad, iPhone) no longer can maintain wifi connectivity with time capsule

My iPad and iPhone can no longer maintain wifi connectivity with time capsule. Time capsule has connectivity to internet via Macbook, but not other devices. This started after upgrade of devices to s/w 6.0. Does anyone know if that could impact connectivity?

Yes, this is often reported with iOS 6.. there are definitely more wireless problems.
I recommend you reset the TC in the following ways.
1. Change all names to SMB type.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. that includes the TC itself, wireless and hard disk. I recommend a different name for 5ghz so you can force clients to that band without auto voodoo affecting it.
2. Use WPA2 Personal security only.. 8-12 character pure alphanumeric passkey.
3. Lock the wireless channels.. particularly for 2.4ghz.. pick one of the channels, out of 1, 6, 11 as these are the only ones that do not overlap.. test each in turn for the best and most stable. TC should pick the best itself but that is voodoo and I am preferring to run the system without black arts.

Airport TimeCapsule wireless works fine, but iMac can no longer find the time capsule disk for backups.

Hi,
I have a new Airport TimeCapsule that I set up about two weeks ago in combination with a new iMac running OS 10.9.4. It ran fine until 2 days ago, when the TC disk image disappeared from the iMac and Time Machine was not able to back up. I tried to find the TC in Airport Utility and it states the "Airport Time Capsule was previously part of your network. Check that it is still in range of your network and is plugged into a power outlet..." I've tried restarting the time capsule. I've tried restarting everything in order (modem>TC>iMac) and the iMac still cannot see the TC disk.
I've had two other issues that I will list in case they are all related somehow:
1) The time capsule took several attempts to set up when I first bought it. I had to reset the TC several times before I got all the way through the set up process successfully.
2) I tried hooking up my printer to the USB port on the airport time capsule and although my MacBook could see it and print to it just fine, my iMac was never able to see it.
The TC is hooked up to the iMac via ethernet cable. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? I'm about ready to send the time capsule back and just resurrect my old airport that worked flawlessly for years. This airport TC has been a huge disappointment so far.
Thanks

There are some real issues between Mavericks and TC .. (or just network bugginess!!)
There is a heap of things you can do but it is easier to just run through the whole lot in order. None is necessarily the cure and that is why doing all is important.
The list is in this thread.
Airport Utility shows "unexpected error - please try again" when connecting to Time Capsule
In your case using ethernet can be a problem.. let me say please make sure you have ipv6 set to link-local only in your ethernet setup. I usually only show it in wireless but for you it must be ethernet. The wireless connection seems to be utterly required now for connection.. and hidden away into the airport utility is a switch over from wireless to ethernet. When I made the manual setup instructions above this particular ability (or stupidity) of the Airport Utility was not apparent to me.
So here is typical Airport Utility (AU) v6.. but it is actually working over wireless only. (The v5 utility was wireless + ethernet).
I have an ethernet client on the network that is completely invisible.
Click on the Other WiFi Devices (wrongly named.. it should say other devices).
And you will see the option to choose ethernet.
Then the AU sees the ethernet client and none of the wireless clients.. brilliant stuff eh??
PS this is just a test setup.. never would I have any TC with such an illegal name.. But I hope it shows you what to do.
Fix the names.. most important.. keep them short.. less than 10 characters all the better.
No spaces and pure alphanumeric.

HT4623 My new iPad can no longer connect to the 3G network. I keep getting the message "could not activate cellular date network".

I updated my new iPad to the iOS 6 while connected to wifi. However, it will no longer connect to the 3G network. I keep getting the message "could not activate cellular data network" even though the 3G symbol appears normal. I have tried rebooting, but it still doesn't work. Please help!

No. You can't

Can no longer connect to Time Machine as a server

Have been using an external drive connected to the Time Machine to store my iTunes media files. All of a sudden, the computers on my home network can no longer access the drive as they now have problems connecting to the Time Machine server. However, the wireless router works just fine. Is anyone else experiencing this problem and if so, any advice on how to solve the problem? I can no longer access any of the content on the external drive through the Time Machine, although it appears in the Finder as a shared drive.

I presume you are on Mountain Lion.. it does have some network issues..
Try just rebooting.. and restart everything in the correct order..
Modem.. router/TC.. USB drive.. clients.. 2min gap between each.
If you still have issues do a verify of the drive.

Can no longer find my Time Capsule.

My Time capsule, that I bought back of last year in April has been working flawlessly, until a couple of days ago. Now, it con no longer be found on the network.
It is connected via an Ethernet cable and is in another room (it's connected to my iMac, running OS X 10.5 through a router that is working and letting everything else on my network see everything else. ).
I have reset my Time Capsule and the solid green light comes on.
It has been updated with all the latest firmware as it has come out.
WHAT ON EARTH DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET IT SO IT CAN BEEN CONNECTED TO FROM MY IMAC?

Did this happen after updating to 7.4.1?
I know when I updated my TC to 7.4.1 it disappeared on me. I had to revert to previous firmware.
This also happened when I updated and original Airport Extreme (first model released). Had to revert it to 7.3.2.
Every Airport I updated to 7.4.1 became invisible. Had to revert each one.

HT1695 i downloaded the IOS software upgrade and can no longer connect to any WiFi network, what can I do to fix this?

I have attempted to reset the network settings, nothing changed. The wireless router is working and has nothing wrong with it. Ever since I downloaded the software update, WiFi connection can not happen and every time I try to do anything that uses the internet it directs me to the apple support site. How can this be resolved?

I've tried the following:
* Settings | General | Reset | Reset Network Settings (Twice)
* Settings | General | Reset | Reset All Settings (Once)
* Plugging it in and doing a "Restore" through iTunes (that's how I downloaded iOS 5.1.1 in the first place)
All the passcodes and restrictions are are turned off.
When I first try to connect to the network, I'm prompted to enter my username and password (I've elected to "forget" the network a few times so I can get this screen again). If I enter it wrong, then I just get an error that I'm not connected. When I enter it right, I get a warning that the certificate is "not verified". When I click on "More Details", I can see all the information that got pulled from the network (Issuer Name, Signature Algorithm, Public Key Algorithm, Key Usage, etc.). When I choose to "Accept", I get the little icon indicating that it's trying to connect...this never goes away (I let it run for an hour).
The encryption type on the main Wifi I'm trying to connect to says it's RSA (I'm guessing it's WEP though...I didn't set it up, our IT group did that).

IPhone can no longer connect to AT&T network, just says No Service1

Ever since I returned from a trip to Canada my iPhone has been unable to connect to the AT&T network. It worked fine before I crossed re boarder into Canada last week and while in Canada it was able to connect to the Rogers network.
Since I crossed back into the United States, sometimes it will connect to the AT&T network for a few seconds (never long enough to make a call) then show no service.
To try and fix the problem I have
-shut off the iPhone
-reset the iPhone
-ejected and reinserted the SIM card
-verified my AT&T bill was paid
-reset network settings
None of that worked.
If I turn Airplane mode on and then off, it says Searching... for a while before going back to No Network.
Also, the unit is able to connect to WiFi networks with no problem.
Any suggestions for how I can get my iPhone to connect again to the AT&T network?
Thanks!

Thank for the advice. The phone is not a 3G (i probably should have mentioned that).
I brought it into the Apple Store. The genius couldn't figure out the problem, so he gave me a new one.

My Mac can no longer find my Time Capsule or my home network.

Hello, having had no problems for the first few months I can no longer get online. My Mac cannot find my network (but can find all of the other networks on my street) and cannot find the Time Capsule. The Time Capsule itself has a green light so I assume is working fine. My daughter knocked the ethernet cable from the the Time Capsule around the time it stopped working - could this be related? We also moved our cordless phone near to the Time Capsule around the same time - could this be the problem? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Smokerz, thanks for the help. A couple of very basic questions to clarify (I am clueless about these things).
1. When you say power down the modem you mean unplug it? (I currently get my cable TV and phone through it as well).
2. How do I go about changing the channel on the router? (which I assume is the Time Capsule?).
Apologies for my ignorance and thanks for any help.

I can no longer access my Time Capsule disk

After upgrading to SL, I can't connect to the disk in my Time Capsule. It shows up in the Shared part of the Finder sidebar as usual, but clicking on it generates a gray bar that says "Connection Failed." On the right-hand side of this bar is a "Connect As' button, and clicking this gives an error popup that says: "There was an error connecting to the server “Wonderland”. Check the server name or IP address, and then try again. If you are unable to resolve the problem contact your system administrator." I don't know how to change the server name or IP address, and when I enter the IP directly from "Connect to Server" I get the same error message. Trying to set up the disk in Time Machine also gives the same error.
The odd thing is that the disk is visible in Airport Utility, which even tells me how much space is being used. "Enable file sharing" is still checked.
Any ideas what I can do?

Sad to report that unplugging and re-plugging the hard drive did not help. I had high hopes!
Un-mounting and re-mounting the external hard drive didn't help either.
I've moved on to deleting the time machine preferences per another suggestion in another thread - still no luck.
I continue to get the Making Backup Disk Available warning in the Time Machine Preferences window as the little progress bar spins for 20+ minutes. The whole time, I can hear the external hard drive clicking and chirping like it's being accessed- then the Time Machine preference window reports the same past warning: *The backup disk image “/Volumes/300GB BACKUP/myname’s Mac mini_00254bb40536.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error 109)*
Off to cruise some more forums for a possible fix - suggestions continue to be welcome!
