PowerBook Start Up & Wireless Issues

I have been an avid Mac person for quite some time. I'm getting concerned because I used to have a ThinkPad for work and never had this many hardware issues.
I have had this PowerBook 17" 1GHz for more than 2 years. When I try and start it the chime sounds, but the screen is blank. There are no sounds from the hard drive and once out of a couple starts and shutdowns I get the Firmware screen where the hard drive is not recognized. Also before this happened my Airport Card was not recognized. Is this a Logic Board issue or multiple hardware issues (Airport & Hard Drive)?
Are 17" PowerBooks notorious for their Logic Board, Hard Drive, & Airport problems? If you have the same problem and have fixed it please let me know.

MacMed,
The short answer is No. Macs - including the PBs - have a reputation for being reliable and trouble-free.
BUT (and it is a big but) that's no consolation if your unit is one of the relatively (relatively!) rare ones that does give trouble. I haven't been on this board long, but it seems from the pattern of posts that some units are problem-prone and tend to have multiple failures.
One of the more common problems seems to be a sound output failure that's related to the logic board. Mainboard problems could also account for a number of the symptoms you've described. I can't think of a simple way to diagnose this beside having an Apple tech look at the machine. You could run the Hardware Test from the CD, but from your description of the problems it seems clear something is wrong and it's probably not user-fixable.
I hope you have the AppleCare extended warranty.
Best of luck

If you have a Blue Screen / Error due to Wireless issues (B110a), fix in here.

For the original thread created by somebody else, please see here:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-and/B110a-network-connection-problem/m-p/319...
Here's a youtube video of what happened to me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adE1kq36ld4
I'm reposting it here so it can hopefully help some of you guys if anybody else stumbles across this. In short, my printer was fresh out of the box and I attempted to connect it to the wireless network. It would throw a blue screen on the LCD with an error of B8126AD6.
I narrowed it down to an issue with DHCP. For some reason the printer connects to the wireless access point but as soon as it tries to get an IP address from the DHCP server it crashes with that blue screen and the error code in the first post above. This look like a massive bug in the printers firmware! For reference my router is a Billion 7401VGPR3 which is acting as my default gateway and DHCP server. I have a Linksys WRT54G as my Access Point for the house.
To solve it, I turned DHCP off on my router and then tried connecting the printer to the wireless network. This time it connects fine but you still can't talk to it because it doesn't have a proper IP address. If it still doesn't connect properly, try turning WPA/WPA2/WEP off on your Access Point. Leave it completely open for a moment until you can reach the web interface (as below).
To fix the IP issue, I then went into the Settings menu on the printer and printed the "HP Network Configuration Page". Note that under the Wireless menu option there are a couple of different "Print Network Test Page" options. I believe it's the 2nd one that I selected. You'll know you have the right one when it prints out the page with the following info:
IPv4 IP Address
Subnet Mask
Hostname
Default Gateway
Primary DNS
etc, etc.
Take note of the IP Address from the printout above and the Subnet Mask. My IP was 169.254.73.5 and subnet mask 255.255.0.0. Now I manually configured my computers IP address to be similar (within the same subnet): 169.254.73.10 with the same subnet mask.
Now you can load up the web interface of the printer using http://169.254.73.5 in my case. (You should also be able to ping the printer at this point too). In here you have a Network tab where you can now manually set the IP Address of the printer. Set the address you want it to be in your network (in my case 192.168.0.3 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and default gateway 192.168.0.1 and dns server 192.168.0.1).
Once I clicked OK I changed my PC's IP back to normal, and I can now reach the printer on its IP address set above. YAY!
The great thing is, in the web interface you get a million more options to play with. You can manually set the IP address, gateway, DNS, wireless settings such as WPA1/WPA2 AES/TKIP Encryption, WPA Passkey, etc. So if you had to set the Access Point to completely Open, setup the encryption again and put the passkey in here. When I did this I had to go back into the Settings menu on the printer LCD and select "Disable Wireless" then "Enable Wireless" to force it to re-join the network.
Finally I went into the Settings menu again and Updated the software on the printer. I don't know if the new software fixes the bug or not - I haven't tested it (can't be bothered!).
Hopefully this will help some of you guys out there too!

Many thanks to gardz for an exhaustive overview on this critical problem with the B110a printer!
I am happy to report that I have managed to set the printer to a static IP and am now able to connect to it wirelessly from my home computers, and also able to use the web apps and ePrint features on the printer. The printer shows the IP address and I am able to use the EWS (Embedded Web Server) to connect to its IP address from my PC's internet browser. The Wireless Network Test Report also showed no problems. I have also completed the Product Update on the printer, and there are no more pending updates now.
However, the core wireless problem is still not satisfactorily resolved.
I get the BSOD and blinking-lights error ("Please turn off printer and then on"), only if I start the printer when Wireless is enabled on the printer. If wireless is disabled prior to printer boot, there is no error.
The workaround I have adopted for now, is to always switch off the printer's wireless, before switching off the printer, and enabling the wireless setting only when I need to print/scan.
Is this happening with anyone else? Why would the printer crash if it boots with wireless enabled? If it is already set to a static IP, why would it still conflict with the DHCP on the router?
My router is perfectly working, it is in the same room as the printer, so the signal strength is good. The printer itself is quite stable except for this crash-after-boot-if-wireless-was-enabled issue on the printer.
I made the mistake of connecting the USB cable to my primary computer before installing the printer drivers, so even the USB option is not working (Windows recognizes the printer as an unknown USB device). If anyone can point me to the printer drivers (inf files), I would be grateful. The CD does not have the driver files in a convenient location. It seems to be embedded within the setup package somewhere.
Gardz and PrintDoc, I hope you can help us out on this one. I know many B110a users are struggling with the wireless issues, so HP needs to release a firmware fix and driver update soon. Wireless ought to work out-of-the-box, as this product is aimed at the SOHO users.

This is a workaround for the MBP wireless issue

There have been many topics on the MBP wireless issues already, but I thought some people might find this workaround helpful.
Firstly, my system is a 2.2Ghz MBP, running 10.4.10, and also airport extreme update 2007-04. I am using an airport express base station. My previous Powerbook never had any wireless problems, so I really couldn't blame the basestation for the MBPs poor wireless.
Warning - The workaround requires a little bit of work in the terminal. A little bit of understanding of how networks work is assumed here as well. So it is probably not for everyone ...
What I have observed - whenever the MBP loses connection, the airport basestation IP and MAC addresses are missing from the ARP table.
- To view the ARP table, type (in a terminal window) arp -a.
So, when the MBP wireless hangs, open up the terminal and type that in.
Do a Cntrl-C if the arp command is hanging and not returning anything.
In normal situations, a list of IP addresses and MAC addresses will show up.
As others have already noted, clicking on the airport icon in the menubar, will magically bring the wireless back to life. When this happens, the ARP table also gets magically populated correctly. Coincidence? I think not!
So, the workaround is to store a PERMANENT entry in the ARP table for the airport basestation IP and MAC address. In my case, I can use the Airport Utility software to confirm what the basestation IP and MAC addresses are (note MAC address = Airport ID in Airport Utility). I found the basestation IP=10.0.1.1 and the MAC=0:11:24:07:d7:f
To create a permanent ARP table entry for my airport basestation, I opened up a terminal window, and did the following -
1) login to my administrator account
2) type in the following command sudo arp -s 10.0.1.1 0:11:24:7:d7:f
3) type in my administrator password to authorise the change
4) type in (to confirm the changes have been made) arp -a
5) logout of my administrator account (from the terminal)
Ever since I did this, my MBP wireless performance has been flawless.
Note, if you shutdown or restart your computer, the arp entry disappears. This is ok for me as I hardly ever power down my MBP. As insurance I have added an account startup item to remind me to do the arp table entry.
This workaround is great for me because I don't have a need to use multiple wireless networks. It might not be practical for people who roam around onto different networks.
Give it a go and see if it works for you.

OK, after some further experimenting, I changed the multicast rate on my airport express. It was set at 6Mbps, and I changed it to 2Mbps.
I have read that the default multicast rate for previous 802.11g versions of Airport basestations is actually 2mbps. Excellent results so far !! I have set up a terminal command to continuously ping my airport router address every 15 sec, and there have been virtually no dropped packets so far over many hours.
ping -i 15 10.0.1.1
Interestingly, in Apple's Airport Admin software in my MBP there is no option to set the rate at less than 6Mbps (!!!!), so I had to use the Windows XP version of Airport admin software to make this change using a windows machine. Using the XP software you can set the muticast rate as low as 1Mbps.
If you are using Apples airport admin software (Tiger and Leopard) and you commit any sort of change in settings, the multicast rate will be re-set at a minimum of 6Mbps. My understanding of the multicast rate is that setting it too high is similar to shrinking the coverage area of the basestation, and limiting access only to clients who can transmit at the required multicast rate.
So my new theory is that the dropouts are caused by the MBP dropping off the airport due to not being able to achieve the set multicast rate. (this could be due to factors such as low signal strength, excessive interference or noise).
If you are using Apples more recent Airport admin software, you are having a minimum 6mbps muticast rate set, and this might be too high for your particular environment.
Just a theory.
(oh yeah, I enabled interference robustness on the MBP and the basestation just for good measure)

TM2T-1000 Wireless issue

Im not sure if this issue has been addressed at all but after a quick scan of the forum i couldnt find my problem coming up at all so i thought i would ask it anyway.
So anyway i have a TM2T-1000 and when i am at home my wireless keeps dropping. It says that it is still connected and i have an ip addy still but i cant browse around and i also cannot ping outside websites either. i log into the router and and change the wireless channel or disconnect and reconnect the connection and this sometimes resolves the problem for about 30 seconds to a minute but then just stops working again. now normally i wouldnt blame the computer but the problem im having is so weird and dont know what is causing it. What i mean by that it that i use my comp at work and never seem to have any trouble with the wireless there and it just works like it is supposed to. Now i know that this will have some telling me that its my router at home, but i cant blame it completely either because we have another laptop an Acer that has no trouble maintaining the wireless with the home router and even when my tm2 drops i will ask my friend if his is still working and he will tell me that he isnt having any trouble. So im wondering if maybe it is a driver or perhaps a hardware compatability issue. This issue appears to occur after waking the computer out of sleep and i try to get on the internet which will work for about a minute then drop. I have a d-link dir-601 router and was thinking maybe the wireless card was simply incompatable or perhaps a driver thing but ive tried updating my driver and it says that it is up to date. So unfortunately i remain confused. There is a glimpse of light at the end of this tunnel however which is that i have found a work around but it still annoying and i wish that instead it would just work. but that is to restart my comp after sleep everytime i intend to be on the internet for any extended period of time and after a restart it seems to hold the connection fine that is until i close it and open it out of sleep again... So to recap the issue appears to be that i have trouble maintainning home connection only when awaken from sleep mode..... so weird any help would be appriciated. thanks

started facing this issue for past one week - now i think i fixed it ,
Try this
1, Press windows key + X
2, in the inegrated wireles devices dropbox in Hp customization
3, Choose Open wireless Assitsant
4, First turn on all wireless devices wireless adapter and bluetooth adapter
5, then click on the Properties button
6, Uncheck everhing and hit apply

Getting Started with Wireless: Wireless configuration on 877W router - STUC

Just letting you know that I've already posted an identical post under "Getting Started with Wireless" but don't feel that I'm getting any attention so I made another post. Thank you.
Hi all
I have a Cisco 877W router running IOS v 12.4(15)T3. Have been trying to configure wireless to run WPA-PSK and is stuck at the final stage. Spent a lot of time configuring the router using CLI but ended up using the Web GUI interface. I was able to configure the wireless settings (I think) but failed when connecting to the router from WinXP-SP2 and was wondering if you have any suggestion for me. I've ran the following debugs on the router:
VNRouter#sho debug
DHCP server event debugging is on.
dot11:
802.1X module WPA/WPA-PSK/CCKM key management debugging is on
dot11 Syslog debugging is on
Below is the error message when connecting wirelessly
*Mar 4 18:46:25.655: *** Not encrypted dot1x packet from 001b.771a.dbad has been discarded

I've created two VLANs (and tied these two vlans to 2 separate SSID) on this router for a reason and so far has not been able to connect to any of them (SSID). I've also attached the config so you can have a look. Thanks in advance for your help.

The configuration looks fine. In most cases, the connectivity issues with WPA-PSK is due to the mismatch in PSK on the Client and the AP. Try re-entering the PSK key on both the router and the client and check if you are seeing any issues.

Latest 10.4.10 Upgrade on 7/2/2007 - did it fix the wireless issues?

I am one of the people that had to go back to 10.4.9 because of all the wireless problems that the June release of 10.4.10 introduced. I just noticed that there is an updated version of the upgrade released on July 2. Has anybody installed that one, and did the wireless issues go away (in case you had them with the previous release)?
I am just wondering if it's worth doing at this point. Last time I had to reinstall the OS starting with 10.4.6, and it was a pain. Has anyone been more courageous than me and bit the bullet?
Thanks in advance.
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Yes, this update seemed to work for me. It is not terribly clear there are actualy two 10.4.10 updates. There is the full update, which is 279 megabytes, that gets picked up automatically by the Apple Software Update utility.
There is a second 10.4.10 update which is actually 10.4.10 v1.1. This DOES NOT get discovered automatically by the update utility. You have to manually go get the update. The v1.1 update is about 72 megabytes before unpacking.
You can find it at the following Apple support URL:

Macbook airport wireless issue

Hello,
I have a macbook from around 2006/2007, and up until last year has been very reliable and something that is still quite speedy.
I have an issue with the airport/wireless on the mac, whereby the signal is so intermitnent and sometimes non-existent. My internet (virgin internet super hub) works perfectly with all my other devices (iphones, ipads etc) so it's just this one device.
When I start the mac up, first of all it stats that the connection times out and unable to connect. It also wont connect when I'm around 10 feet away or further so I have to sit quite close to the router.
After around 5 minutes the signal builds gradually in strength, and gets to 1 bar, then jumps up and down from full (4 bars) to 1 bar whilst connected, never stable - this allows me to connect (just about).
I have just done a test with my iPhone and set my iphone perso
I am running Mac OS X 10.5.8 and have done all the updates for airport and software.
Right now whilst I'm writing this message the wireless strength has dropped from 3 bars and I'm now on the lowest bar.
I have had a few people look at this and the airport card (to my knowledge) has been replaced yet we still have this issue.
I also have an issue where if I unplug the power the computer instantly dies so I presume the battery is dead and needs replacing, however it works fine as long as it's plugged in. The main issue is this wireless issue which would be amazing to fix and get this old beast working perfectly again.
Any thoughts on what we can do? As stated, the internet works perfectly for all other devices and we've switched since and still have the same problem so I;m 99.9% sure it's the computer.
Many thanks for your help and look forwawrd to some feedback
James

Update:
I have since added a new user to the account and the problem still persists on the other user account.
I have also ran a 'network diagnostic' however because the internet kept dropping, it either stated that there was no problem or it wouldnt run at all. I have installed iStumbler and it shows signal strength ranging between 24% - 32% and the graph shows it is dropping out quite frequently.
I have seen people recommending i switch from channel 11 to channel 6, but not sure it will be this simple as we have changed routers and internet numerous times...
Any thoughts?

RV180W Wireless Issue

Hi
We have started having an issue maybe once a week where i come into the office in the morning and my IPad and Phone connect to router automatically without a problem but later in the day i notice my devices aren't connected so i go in to wireless setting on the device and i will not connect to the router, i forget the network and add it again and it still wont connect. I have to log into the router turn wireless off and then on again and then it works fine.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Thanks
Matt

What happens if you wire in to the router, does the internet work fine?
Have you also checked DNS settings on both the computer and router?

WRT310N Wireless Issues

I recently got the WRT310N router and I've been having some major wireless issues. First, I tried using many different forms of encryption (WEP, WPA, WPA2 Personal), but many times my computer told me I had the wrong password when I actually copied and pasted it from the Linksys router admin page. Eventually, I was able to get WPA2 Personal encryption to work (I'm not even sure how or why), but now every so often the wireless signal just dies and I usually have to manually reset the router in order to get it back. Sometimes it comes back on its own after some time. The time it takes for the wireless to die is variable: it can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 20 hours. I have noticed however that it tends to die when a 2nd wireless user connects, although this may be coincidence. I tried removing wireless encryption, but this didn't help the problem. The firmware is the latest version as well. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!

EA3500 - Wireless issues

What's great about it: easy to set up, great feature set
What's not so great: wireless connection kept dropping internet
Came to this from WRT54G, had it for years. Setup went smooth, all seemed well. Working from home via VPN connection, I was noticing that about every 2-3 minutes, I'd lose wireless internet connection for 4 or 5 seconds. That kind of drop isn't really noticeable when web browsing or even streaming (due to buffer) but is very disruptive when you need a solid connection for VPN.
This isn't my first rodeo, so I did all the usual setting adjustments (switching to 2.4GHz only, G only, static IP, various channels, various security protocols, etc.) but to no avail. Customer service thought it was my computer... odd that 2 of my computers would exhibit the same exact behavior. Returned it and got the Netgear N750. Low and behold, no wireless issues, VPN as smooth as the WRT54G was.
It was probably firmware related, but I was on the latest... and didn't have time to wait around for it to be fixed at some point in time.
This product has...

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

There are four (4) reasons why the wireless connection between your Linksys router and your devices such as computers, laptops is intermittent or is experiencing a dropping connection. These are:
• MTU Size
• Frequency interference from other wireless devices
• Low signal quality received from your wireless router
• Router’s firmware needs an upgrade
Frequent wireless disconnection can be resolved by doing the following:
i. Adjusting the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size
ii. Reducing Wireless Interference
iii. Customizing the Wireless Settings of the Router
iv. Updating the Firmware of the Router
Here is the link for resolving dropping wireless connections: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=172c1dae41534ddd818c560b60c7c230_4029.xml&pid=80&r...
As far as VPN connectivity is concern, when you launch Internet Explorer and you have configured your computer to automatically prompt you to start your VPN connection, you may receive an error message “Unable to establish a connection" upon clicking on Connect. This happens if Internet Explorer does not initialize the VPN connection. To resolve this issue, start a VPN session before you start Internet Explorer.

New MacBook Pro 13 i5 Wireless Issues.

I got the new MacBook Pro i5 2.3 the day it came out. So maybe a week and half ago.
I`m having intermittent wireless issues. I have done some testing and even replaced my older AirPort Base Station with the new Dual-Band one, but still seeing a drops from the network. I have a ping going to my router and to the ABSE. I tried changing the channel and using 5GHZ or 2.4GHZ. I also have a AirPort express and seen similar results. I tried reseting the PRAM, repairing permission, I did not reinstall the OS but I dont see how this would help. I think there is a hardware issue with the wireless card/antenna.
I did upgrade RAM and HDD was changed to SSD (intel G2 SSD). There are no other issues, machine is fast, no lock ups. Other devices on the network do not seem to drop any connections (ATV, ATV2, iPhone4, iPad etc..)
The network drop outs are short but are noticeable and if a ping is going I can see the drops
*-- 192.168.1.1 ping statistics ---*
*1527 packets transmitted, 1505 packets received, 1.4% packet loss*

Is anyone else having email problems such as apps exiting in the middle of an email? It may be a wireless issue. I use First Class for work and yahoo email for personal. I will be in the middle of typing a long email and the app just quits, all data lost.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

I have had wireless issues sense Leapord, any fixes yet? its a shame that my wife has to sit in front of our 27 inch imac on a $300 Windows computer to use the web effectively. I have tried all fixes and some work while others don't but all temporary

This Lion wireless issue has become more than just an irritation, so much so, my wife has resorted to sitting in front of a 27 inch imac with a 300 dollar Walmart Windows computer to get the bills paid and use the web. And yes, there is not a fix out there I haven't tried over the last year or so, some worked and some didn't, but all were temporary at best. Same issue with my Macair, I wonder if its a hardware issue, like the video card in my 2006 MBP, it went out after the warrenty and then I found out there was a calss action suit going on over it, unfortunately Apple wouldn't cover it and wanted 7oo bucks to fix it, sold that as parts.
While i really like me Macs, I own three, I may have to bow out and stick with LINUX, that has yet to let me down, anyone know if Mountain will fix this issue? or are we all just waiting for defective WiFi cards to fail at our own expense, PS, got three Macs for sale.

Sounds like you're getting kernel panics, which are usually, but not always, caused by hardware problems, with memory being one of the regular culprits.
First thing I would do is to get our your original OS X disks, insert the first one (should say 'AHT version x.x' in small print on the label - if not, find the one that does), and reboot holding the Alt key down. Choose the Apple hardware test, and when prompted, choose the extended test. If you have either of the TechTool programs, they can do similar testing. Does that identify any hardware issues?
Next, I'd download rember from http://www.kelleycomputing.net/rember/ . This is a memory testing program that you can set to run overnight. Does it come up with any errors? If so, try resetting your memory card(s) by removing and putting back into the computer. Rerun memory test.

How do I set up my PowerBook to print wireless with HP psc 2410

Can someone tell me how to set up my PowerBook to
print wireless with my HP psc 2410 all-in-one?
What do I need to do?
I checked ifelx list and check out ok for my model.
Thanks,
Kes
PowerBook G4 15 1.67GHz 10.4.2 512MB AirPort Extreme; iMac G4 20 1.25GHz Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Ensure that the Airport base station is configured to not distribute IP addresses.
On the iMac
System Preferences > Sharing > Printer Sharing
On the PowerBook
Applications > Utilities > Printer Setup Utility
Add Printer
It may work with the HP driver (which you will need to install on the PowerBook)
It may work with a third-party driver such as the HPIJS drivers or the Gimp-Print drivers, but this is not the case with all printers.

Macbook Pro (Late 2008) - Windows 7 64-bit, Bootcamp 3.1 - Wireless Issue

Hi Everyone,
I have a Macbook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008) model with Snow Leopard and Windows 7 64-bit dual boot. I have done a search and cannot find any reference to this problem on my hardware.
I have had no issues in Windows 7 when using Bootcamp v3.0. In the last week I have upgraded to Bootcamp v3.1. (completed twice, rolled back in between to prove that the issues was related to the Apple Update)
After I update to v3.1, I have issues with my wireless network. The network cannot resolve the name for any internet address. I can connect to wireless networks (tried multiple networks), all the DHCP settings seem to be retrieved correctly (Gateway, DNS etc) and I can ping local and machines outside my network without an issue provided I use the IP address. (Skype works - which uses direct IPs rather than names I have found over time)
As soon as I use a name for a destination for Web traffic, Mail, pinging (any application), my Macbook Pro cannot resolve the address and just bombs out.
If I connect to a wired network, the machine works perfectly and name resolution on that interface works. If I rollback (using Windows 7 rollback capability) to before the v3.1 Bootcamp is installed, the wireless networking also works perfectly.
I noticed this in the support area at apple:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3196
But this refers to wireless issues in Bootcamp drivers prior to v3.1 and on 13 inch Macbook. Wonder if this is a similar issue or related?
Anyone else seen this or point me in the direction of a fix?
Thanks,
Thommo

I'm looking into running Windows 7 64bit on the exact same MBP you have, so I'm curious as to whether or not you've found a solution yet outside of the forums.
Do you think it might be that the bootcamp 3.1 update is only for Windows 7 32bit and not for the 64bit version?
