Problem with iBook Airport

I recently received an iBook version 10.4.11. The airport and wifi was working fine at first but after around 2 hours the airport stopped working for no particular reason. The computer recognizes that the airport is connected but the airport doesn't recognize any networks. It looks like the airport card is installed correctly but I am not completely sure. I'm beginning to think I may need a new airport card but I'm honestly don't know. If anyone could help me with this problem I would really appreciate it.

First, try completely shutting down the computer, then rebooting. This clears the caches, and most times will restore the functionality of your AE card. If that does not work you can shut down the wireless base station, disconnect the power, then reconnect and restart. Your third option would be to remove the Airport Extreme card, clean the contacts with a soft lint-free cloth, then replace and be sure it is securely seated.

Problems with Bonjour, Airport Extreme and OS 10.4.3

I have a networked, HP Photosmart 8450 printer. The printer was connected to both an iMac 20" and PowerBook G4 15" running OS 10.4.3. Yesterday, I lost the ability to print from the PowerBook. I have identified it as a problem with my Airport Extreme connection.
The iMac can see the printer just fine, and it shows up using Bonjour when I browse printers in the Printer Setup Utility. The PowerBook, however, cannot see the printer - that is, it does not show up in the browser, but only when I use the Airport connection. However, when I connect the printer to the PowerBook via USB, or when I plug a network cable in to the PowerBook, it sees the printer immediately using Bonjour.
It appears, then, the problem is with my Airport Extreme card. Has this issue been identified by anyone else/Apple? Perusing the discussion boards, it seems others have had this problem.
PowerBook G4/iMac Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Thanks for the response, however, my question remains: I'm wondering if anyone else with an Airport Extreme ("b" version) and OS 10.4.9 installed has a problem using Admin Utility 4.1.1 and/or Airport Setup Assistant 4.1.1? Specifically, the problem is, after resetting the Airport Extreme, I was able to set it up using the Setup Assistant (establish the network, set the password), but thereafter, it does not show up in the Admin Utility at all (but the Extreme's lights flash as it is being accessed) and in Setup Assistant, it shows up, but there are "errors" when trying to change settings. It is very odd.
When I was running 10.3.9, I had had no problems setting up/administering my Airport Extreme. Suspecting the Extreme itself, I even had an Apple Genius inspect it at the Apple store, but it was pronounced in working order. I might try to check the Airport card inside the G4 (by trying it in a friend's G4). If this communication problem is not shared by anyone else (ii.e., a software issue), it could be my Airport card.

Does the game has the same iOS requirements that your phone has? Games needing iOS7 will not install on iOS6 and earlier.
Did you try to download it to your computer and sync it to your phone after that?
If you can't connect to the iTunes Store, try these suggestions:

Problem with iBooks app on iPhone

Having a major problem with iBooks app. Can only get free classic books but nothign contemporary. Cannot update the app either. Works perfectly on my ipad! Should I delete the app and reload? Will I losse all the books I already have??

It is true that all purchases should share a single Apple ID. It is also true that both iOS and OS X allow only one iCloud account per user. And it is true than every Apple ID has an iCloud account, and every iCloud account an Apple ID [1]. Most unfortunately, it is also true that many (most?) Apple customers have multiple Apple IDs (even if they don't know it - I have 4 [2]).
So far, so simple. Here is the catch. On both iOS and OS X the Apple ID for purchases need not match the Apple ID for account-specific iCloud services. Life is much nicer if they do match, but they don't have to. Part of the bug I ran into was related to a configuration error, probably arising during Mavericks install over Mountain Lion, that gave iBooks my user account's iCloud services Apple ID rather than the iOS/iTunes store Apple ID.
Apple's identity management is a mess of almost unfathomable proportion -- the sort of mess that every smart exec runs from. I'm certain it's gummed up by contracts with rights holders, disparate internal systems, unfortunate choices and a nest of secondary assumptions. It would take a will of iron and a lot of cleverness to solve. I'm curious whether Tim Cook will force the fix.
[1] Curiously, however, an iCloud account does not need to have an email address, and the iCloud account email address need not match the associated Apple ID. This is yet another unfortunate edge case of the Apple ID mess.

When trying to install a wireless printer, the WEP password says its incorrect. Is this a problem with the airport, my Internet provider or HP? I know the password is correct.

When trying to install a wireless printer, the WEP password says its incorrect. Is this a problem with the airport, my Internet provider or HP? I know the password is correct.

Your AirPort Extreme supports WPA.
WEP is outdated and considered fairly useless, so use WPA.
Be sure you are using AirPort Utility 5.6. If you are not running Lion then use AirPort Utility 5.5.3.
AirPort Utility 6.0 cannot administer 802.11b/g base stations.

There is a problem with your airport time capsule disk

Hello,
Since I got my airport time capsule and set it up, I got an error "there is a problem with your airport time capsule disk" and disk is not listed for setup or erase. The LED is flashing amber sine I turned on the first time.
The wifi is working fine as well as the internet connectivity.
I got the device from the online store and was shipped to my address in the states but I opened the box the first time in Saudi Arabia as I left the states immediately after receiving it.
Any advise on fixing this or a near by apple support center where I can get it in for repair / replacement?

I would first suggest that you perform a "factory default" reset on your Time Capsule (TC).
If that fails to remedy the problem, you can obtain technical support from Apple here.

Problem with my Airport Extreme Base Station (old model)

I have two computers connecting to the internet with an old AEBS via ethernet. One is a Powerbook G4 and the other is a MacBook Pro. Since performing a software update this morning, the older machine stopped being able to connect to the base station wirelessly (the MacBook is fine though). The error message I receive is "There was an error joining Airport network". I am able to connect to other unsecured networks in the area so I don't think there is a problem with my Airport card.
I connected my Powerbook directly to the base station with an ethernet cable. While doing so I was able to access the internet and Airport Setup Utility but once unplugged I was still not able to connect wirelessly.
I have tried restarting the base station both via the utility and by unplugging it. I have also restarted my Powerbook multiple times.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, should have asked exactly how old your PowerBook is. Apparently the faster AirPort Extreme card didn't hit the market until early 2003. Find your PowerBook "Specifications" by clicking on that link above in the Apple website menu bar. Picking at random from the list, the 1GHz model released Nov 2002 didn't have an AirPort Extreme card, but only the AirPort card, which means the slower speed 802.11b wireless. The two PB models released in Jan 2003 both were AirPort Extreme models.
You'll be able to use the PB, just open AirPort Admin Utility and change your network "Mode:" selector (at the bottom of the panel) to "802.11b/g Compatible" from 802.11g Only.

Problem with iBook G3....

I just ordered this computer off of eBay and I seem to be having troubles already.
When I start up the computer the options bar at the top does not appear and it continuously loads, but nothing happens. I am also having a problem with the keyboard not working. If anybody has any suggestions, that would be great. Thanks.

Just to add my two cents in here. Believe it or not, the battery could be the culprit in this case. I had a friend who has an iBook G3 900 Mhz and apparently his battery fell under the extension program to be replaced. He did have issues with the battery which is when he asked me what to do. He said that it was like it had a bug in it. His system was running 10.3 at the time, not sure what version though. The menu bar probably is not showing up due to a corrupt menu icon in core services. Even though it seems silly for such a thing to occur, it can happen. One time I had an issue with my menu bar, but it eventually came up. Turns out that my backup battery I have had a software glitch with 10.5, so I needed to download a patch update. I did that and the menu bar is flawless now. It had an icon that told me the percentage of battery level left. Anyway, it is possible and I am not sure how to solve this, but you may want to take it in to an Apple Store to have the battery checked out. If you do find the CDs, I recommend performing system maintenance first and then taking further action. Best of luck.

Emac G4 problems with joining Airport Extreme network

I have an Airport Extreme network with two Airport Express base stations. The Airport Extreme is connected to the internet via ethernet/cable modem. The imac and the base stations work fine and I have no problem with my internet access on the imac, but I can't get internet access via the emac. It appears that the emac is connected to the network, but I get an error message ("Can't find server") when I try to access the internet. What have I done wrong?
imac G5 isight Mac OS X (10.4.4) Other computer: emac G4, operating system 10.3.9

Is the eMac connected wirelessly to the network?
It may be a DNS issue, see KB 106798, Mac OS: Troubleshooting "A connection failure has occurred", "The specified server could not be found" or Similar Messages.

I have a strange WPA problem with my airport card

To set the scene, I'm using a powerbook G4 with built in airport card. My home router is a Belkin Pre-N MIMO.
I have had a recurring problem with the router for a few months now, I don't quite know when it started, but it has gotten to the point where I must do something about it.
The security on the router is set to WPA PSK with a TKIP system. I understand that in order to preserve the integrity of the encryption, the WPA key is routinely changed. In normal circumstances, this transfer is instant, but for some reason on my powerbook, it results in the computer becoming disconnected from the Internet, although it thinks it is still connected. Even more strangely, only port 80 is affected by this, as ftp, POP3, online games and instant messengers work fine.
Disabling the security on the router seems to fix the issue, but leaves the network open to others. Other wireless computers, including a G4 MDD with a Belkin Wifi card, are not affected by this issue.
I thought it might be a problem with my powerbook's built in wireless card not dealing with the WPA key change process, but i'm not sure. I'd appreciate any insight.

This was solved by buying an Apple Airport Base Station.

Am I having problems with my Airport Wireless?

I have a Mac laptop OSX v10.6 Snow Leopard.
I've had it for over a year now and had no problems. Recently I moved to a new house. My ISP sent me a new wireless router (brand: Netgear). My internet connection is fast. However, I often have difficulties accessing certain websites like gmail, google search, and twitter. The sites will simply fail to load and I will get a blank screen. At the same time I will be able to access other sites, like blogger and youtube. Rebooting the router usually solves the problem for about 30mins to 2 hrs, but after that the problem returns. This occurs in both Firefox (7.0) and Safari.
My Internet Service Provider, Virgin Media, claims that the problem is not with their service but must be with my computer. I find that had to believe as this Mac is not very old, and has never had this problem before. Furthermore, rebooting the router seems to temporarily fix the problem, so I suspect the issue is with the router. Is it possible that the problem is with my Airport Wireless or Mac? What can I do to remedy this problem? Why would this problem arise in the first place? I've done a system diagnostic and my computer appears to be healthy. I'm baffled and don't know how to approach fixing this on-again off-again random problem.

The "extend a wireless network" setting on the AirPort Express is used only if you are trying to extend using a wireless connection between the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express. You are using Ethernet.
When the Express is connected using Ethernet, you would configure it as follows:
Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
Click Wireless below the row of icons to display the Wireless settings page
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = Same name as your AirPort Extreme network
No check mark needed next to Allow this network to be extended
Radio Mode = 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) would be a good choice
Channel = Automatic
Wireless Security = Exact same setting as the AirPort Extreme
Wireless Password = Same password as the AirPort Extreme network
Confirm Password
Click the Internet icon
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Click Update to save your settings and allow 40-45 seconds for the Express to restart
Power off the entire network....all devices
Power back up modem first for a moment, then the AirPort Extreme, then AirPort Express, then each device
