Powerbook Would Connect To Internet, New Macbook Will Not Using Airport....

I purchased a new macbook yesterday and i am having problems connecting to the internet using airport and my belkin wireless router. Whenever i try and connect to the router I get a message saying it is not possible.
My old Powerbook G4 still connects using the same router and airport but the new macbook will only connect via an ethernet cable, I have tried ringing belkin support who do not seem able to help me.
Does anyone have any ideas to help me please?
Thanks in advance for your help........

I had the exact same problem yesterday, and I called Apple support. I had to download a software update (security and OS), and after that, it worked. Some people have suggested trying putting a $ sign before the Belkin password. It didn't work for me, but it might be worth a try. My macbook arrived yesterday and I've had problems with this and the keychain thing (I'm totally new to the Mac), and am still having problems with that. So I'll probably be calling support again today unless I can find a solution to that problem here on the forum.
Good luck with yours, I hope you get it fixed

  • Imac G5 OS 10.4.11  Itunes not connect, Safari fine,  new downloads will not open, new install of 10.4.11.4

    Imac G5 OS 10.4.11 Itunes will not connect to radio or store.  Errors out check internet connection.  Safari connects fine. 
    New downloads will not open i.e. ms office critical update, nor Filemaker re-validate registration, also new intaller of itunes 9.2.1 etc.
    After clean install of 10.4 and all updates same problem.
    Other 10.4.11 systems I have work fine on ibook etc. 
    Can I move the system app that opens .dmg files from OK system to imac?  Would that even solve the problem?
    Ramon

    You have 10.4.11 Macs that iTunes can connect to the iTunes Store???
    I was pretty sure they changed to a minimum of 10.6.8
    Are downloading iTunes 9.2.1 from here...

  • MacBook will not join Airport network

    I am flummoxed. My MacBook will not join my Airport Extreme network. It was fine this morning. I have restarted the MacBook. I have restarted the Airport base station. My iPhone is connecting to the network fine. My TV is connecting to the network fine. My G4 is connecting to the network fine. So, it appears there is some issue with the MacBook itself. Any ideas what could be the issue?

    First, either update your profile or your OS to 10.5.6. There have been many bug fixes since 10.5.2 and some WiFi updates require the latest Leopard version.
    That being said, check your network preferences.
    Do you have a rational IP Address?
    If you are using an encrypted WiFi, you can temporarily turn off the encryption and see if the MB can join the network. If so, it's an encryption issue. If not, turn the encryption back on and we will have to look elsewhere.
    BTW, you should be using WPA since WEP has long ago been compromised and is useless, but thats a side thing right now.
    On the MB, I would run disk utility and repair permissions for starters.

  • My new MacBook will not play TV shows, or connect audio with slideshows

    I just bought a black 2 gigHZ MacBook and when starting it up used a firewire to transfer everything from my Intel iMac, as prompted. Seemed to work fine, except: the TV shows in iTunes will not play in Front Row on my MacBook. And in iTunes they will play as video only: no sound.
    Also, I tried to make a slideshow in iPhoto, but I cannot attach a soundtrack from my iTunes plibrary: again, no audio, though the slides play.
    Odd thing is: I can play commercial DVDs in Front Row. No problem. Likewise with iTunes music library. The ptoblem seems limited to TV shows I have downloaded from iTunes music store, and to the slide show/no audio issues.

    hello,
    did you try to authorize you Macbook with your itunes login and password ??
    this must be done manually and is not transferred automatically with other datas as you can authorize up to 5 computers !
    if you didn't already do this, give it a try !

  • My iTunes library on my new Macbook will not sync to iPhone 5

    I just got a new MacBook Pro and spent a lot of time organizing my music into new playlists, deleting old music, etc.  When I plugged in my iPhone 5 to update it with the new library, the new playlists I had just created disappeared and it wouldn't sync to the new library.  This was very frustrating to me.  I then did a sort of "test run" with my much older iPod and it seemed to sync fine.  I don't know what to do.  I've tried checking and unchecking the Sync Music box, restarting both my computer and iPhone, and I even restored my iPhone to factory settings.
    It often stops at the "waiting for changes to be applied" stage, or, sometimes, it will sync just some of my music.
    I've about had it.  All I want is for what is exactly in my iTunes library to sync to my iPhone and I can't figure out what is going on.
    Please help!!

    Maybe:
    "Waiting for changes to be applied": Apple Support Communities
    Next try restoring the iPod and resyncing

  • New Macbook does not recognise Airport Express

    Hello -
    My new Macbook doesn't seem to see my Airport express despite rebooting and resetting the Airport Extreme and Express hardware.
    Can anyone advise me what might be going wrong please?
    Many thanks..

    Thank you. I have finally got Airport Utility to recognise the Airport Express.
    In the next step (when i select the Airport Express station) it asks me if i want to switch wireless networks and issues the following warning:
    Setting up this Apple wireless device requires switching wireless networks. Switching wireless networks may interrupt your connection to the Internet.
    What do I do? I still want Airport Extreme to work. I just want Express to work with it.
    I'd be very grateful if you could offer any advice.
    Thanks...

  • Connected to internet, but browser will not open

    I have an HP Pavilion  23 All in One.  After a power outage, the browser will no longer open, even though I am connected to
    the internet via Wi-Fi.  Except for the internet, all other computer functions are working just fine.
    I am using Windows 8.
    Does anyone know how to fix this.  All other computers in the house are working via Wi-Fi without any problems.
    Thx

    Hi,
    Open a Command Prompt and enter "ipconfig/release"  (without quotes)
    Then enter ipconfig/renew
    Also try ipconfig/flushdns and ipconfig/registerdns
    Are you using IE? Set defaults in Internet Options, Advanced tab. (See below).
    Shut down cable/DSL modem and router. Unplug both from AC power for a couple of minutes. Reconnect devices to AC power and energize.
    Still having an issue? Run the System file Checker. Instructions are here.
    Run boot time hardware diagnostics on the patient.

  • Macbook will not see wireless network

    My new Macbook will not see my wireless network. My Windows 2000 PC, my Ipod touch and my Macbook Pro (jaguar) all see it no problem and work well with it.
    I have tried entering the network name manually and it does not work. I have WEP password protection.
    The macbook sees and connects to all other wireless networks I've encountered (father-in-law's house, Airport departure lounges, hotspots etc.). The macbook also sees my neighbours networks no problem.
    I am confused, please help.

    I am having the same issue, a friend visited with his new Mac Mini, running Leopard, and it would not see the wireless network, that 3 other macs (PowerBook G4, iBooks G4 and G3) running Tiger (10.4.11) and Windows machines recognize without problem.
    I'm wondering if the issue is Leopard and 3rd party routers or MY router in particular, as I have a US Robotics 5461, and I remember when a previous roommate replaced her G4 iBook, running Tiger, with a MacBook Intel running Leopard, she also had issues connecting wirelessly.
    My friend's Mini had no problem recognizing all the neighbors networks (at least 4 or 5) and I'm pretty sure they are not Mac users with an Airport Base Station.
    I was hoping to upgrade my G4 PowerBook (once I get it repaired) to Leopard in the future, but I don't want to lose the ability to connect to my wireless network.
    Has anyone running Leopard run into this problem and found a solution?

  • New Macbook does not recognize Time Capsule backup from old macbook

    I just purchased a late 2013 13" macbook pro. I have a mid 2009 macbook pro running Mavericks. The new macbook will not recognize the time capsule backup from my old macbook. I am trying to migrate all data over, but the new mac does not ever acknowledge the external drive that contains the backup. I've tried two different external drives with the same result each time. Both computers are running Mavericks.

    Do you see the drive in Disk Utility?
    If yes, run Repair Permissions then restart the drive.
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Applications/Utility folder.
    2. Click on the First Aid tab and select Repair Permissions
    3. Click on the icon for your boot volume.
    4. Click the repair permissions button.
    In System Preferences > Time Machine can you select the old Time Machine with Select Disk?

  • Hi All, My MacBook will not connect to the internet at my apartment.

    Hi All, My MacBook will not connect to the internet at my apartment. I live with 5 other people and it works for all of them. It worked for me until about 3 weeks ago. My internet works fine at other places like cafes or other folks' homes.  I've tried many things but am having no luck at all. If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear them!  Thanks!

    Some routers (such as my Netgear) seem to work better if you input your device's MAC address manually while on their online site. That site address should be in the manual and usually starts with something like 192.168.x.x Once on that site, input your Mac's address - a series of numbers and letters i.e. 2f.3c.45.2a.xx.xx (go to Network Preference Pane, select Airport, click on Options: at the bottom it shows "airport ID". I have all my devices listed; with that you can create a special IP address i.e.192.168.1.1, .2, .3, and so on. I've never lost connection using that method.

  • I have the G Drive 1 TB (GEN4 1TB) external drive purchased in 2010. I need to connect to my new MacBook Pro. I'm using the external drive for media storage of my video editing projects. Will a 800fw to thunderbolt adapter cable work?

    I have the G Drive 1 TB (GEN4 1TB) external drive purchased in 2010. I need to connect to my new MacBook Pro. I'm using the external drive for media storage of my video editing projects. Will a 800fw to thunderbolt adapter cable work? I understand that using a USB port connection is not fast enough for video editing. I read somewhere the G Drives don't connect well to MacBook Pro.

    I doubt this can be relocated or moved so you might want to just repost in the macbook pro area.

    Can you afford a new Thunderbolt case and cable? any case with FW800 is going to be slow 72MB/sec and less, and any new 1TB drive is capable of 75MB/s minimum up to 125MB/sec.
    Thunderbolt storage can of course when setup properly reach 100's of MB higher using multiple drives.
    Use what you have for a system backup or for secondary backup storage.
    you might be able to take the drive - most cases allow you to open and swap drives - and use this:

  • My macbook pro is connected to wifi but it will not connect to the internet.

    My macbook pro is connected to wifi but it will not connect to the internet. When I go on safari, it says that "Safari can't verify the identity of the website". Then I tried to update flashplayer but you need the internet to update it. All this only started happening after that Moutain Lion software was downloaded onto the laptop. Please help, I have been internet-less for a couple months now.
