R61 will not recognize recently added wireless card

Let me begin by giving some back ground info. I have had R61's for many years and when mine wears out I buy used models to replace my older worn out ones. I always was sure to find compatable models as to be able to always swap out the hdd with my own hdd. My latest purchase has me stumped. The hdd swapped out fine, laptop booted fine once i chnaged the compatibilty in the bios. Now coming to my issue...... I came to find out it didnt have a wireless card installed. So i took my intel 4965agn and installed it carefully and correctly, Making sure to connect the antenna wires to the correct posts. I rebooted the laptop, made sure the radio was on in the bios as well as made sure it was switched on a the front. Now for my issue, The laptop will not recognize the card. Also its not listed in the device manager/network adapters either. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the forum!
Try booting a "live" Linux CD/DVD/USB and see whether tha card is "seen" there.
Good luck.
Cheers,
George

My ipad will not recognize my home wireless

my ipad will not recognize my home wireless

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

IPhoto 11 will not recognize my camera or card reader

My new iMac with iPhoto 11, on Lion, will not recognise my camera, a SanDisk card reader or, for that matter, my iPhone 4.
It means that I cannot put new photo's into iPhoto.
From other forums and threads there seems to be an Apple issue but no fix.
Any ideas?
Thank you

The point of using a Different Account on your Mac is that it will tell us if the applications are sound or not. If the problem occurs in another User account we'll know the issue is systemic. If it doesn't then we know the apps are sound and the issue is something in your account.
Basic troubleshooting: try the same things using different cables. If the cable is faulty then that's how we'll know. That fact that other features work using this cable means nothing. A connector cable has several strands. One could be damaged.
Ditto for using different USB ports on the machine.

Snow Leopard will not recognize camera or memory card

My Kodak DC3400 camera is not recognized by snow leopard. I have also pulled the card and used a card reader with the same results. Both the camera and reader worked until I installed snow leapord, so I know the usb connection from the camera is good.
I have also tried a different card reader with no results. This is an older camera that Kodak no longer supports so the driver is not available to download.
Any ideas why the camera and card are not recognized by snow leopard?
Thanks!

This is the problem.
Older standard card readers will not work with SDHC.
I also panicked on the same issue last summer.
Simply use the newer SDHC card reader that now come the size of a USB memory stick.
SanDisk makes a cool one I use 'MobileMate SD+'

Will not recognize my crédit card

NO reconoce tarjeta de crédito

Thanks for the message, however I had not taken out the Sim card for nearly 1 year, yesterday I am charging the phone thru my laptop and it just stopped working with the message Sim Card Failure - at the left top of the screen it says Invalid Sim - so I took it out and put the Sim card in my friends Iphone and it worked fine - then I took her Sim card and put it in my 4S and got the same Failure response - for some reason my 4S simply stopped recognizing any Sim card - tried the chat support with apple but got no where - interesting that apple service/support can't run a diagnostic program on the phone thru the imternet and remedy these types of problems or at least figure out what is the problem, the phone is fairly new - **** it has only 10 hours of talk time on it so iti s dissapointed that I may have to buy a new phone to replace a 700 dollar phone - this made in China stuff is really starting to pay off

I can connect hardwired but my wireless laptop will not recognize my router wirelessly

I have the WRT54G and for a while my laptop was working with my router wirelessly. We then hooked 4 other computers into it. At that point my laptop could connect to my router wirelessly but i could not get on the internet. So i went to the website 192.168.1.1 and tryed to change the security settings. I reset the security settings and now I cannot get on that website anymore. My laptop doesn't see the wireless signal from the router but it does work hardwired. anyone have any ideas what i messed up??? oh and by the way i have vista
Message Edited by on 07-30-2007 02:36 PM

did you change the router settings from your wireless laptop ?? its always recommended to change the router settings from the wired computer ...
also , on the router web interface , try changing the wireless channel - either 1 or 11 , beacon interval - 50 , Fragmentation threshold - 2306 , RTS threshold - 2307

EMac on OS 10.2.8 will not recognize Airport Card

OK, I'm not loving Mac so much any more . . .
Here's my situation, please feel free to talk down (way down) to me:
Have eMac OS 10.2.8
Very recently bought iBook running Tiger
Bought Airport Express
Bought Airport Card so eMac can go wireless and share connection on Airport Express with iBook.
eMac will not recognize Airport card, and I've followed ALL the steps numerous times in all the support online here and NOTHING.
What am I doing wrong?
Do I need to upgrade my OS to something higher? If so, WHAT? No salesperson OR tech support person has told me to do this when I tell them I'm on currently running 10.2.8 . . . I am tearing my hair out.
Every time I call, I'm told buy this. Then, it doesn't work, and I'm told, "I dunno who told you that, but that's wrong. You need this." Hafta go through return process. I buy the next thing they tell me, it doesn't work.
I appreciate any guidance you can give me and again, I'm not techno savvy, so talking in the most simplistic terms is awesome!!!!!

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to proceed--I ran "software update", and nothing turned up.
I tried to install Airport Express/iTunes software, and it told me I needed 10.3
OK, so I installed Airport Extreme, which came with the Airport Extreme card, and it gave me an option to install for 10.2.3 or 10.3, which I don't have, so I went for 10.2.3
Installed the airport card as instructed on this site in help/support areas.
Nothing.
I ran "software update" as you suggested, and it found nothing, so I must apologize that I am not certain exactly what to do now . . .

Hi AtlantaGuy. I am sorry you are unable to find the drivers for your wireless device. I will be happy to help you further. Since you do not have the disc, go to www.vzam.net
Once you do that, on the left, click on "Supported Devices".
Search for your specific device and click on the link under the column with your version of windows.
It will then take you through the steps to download the drivers specific to your device.
Please let me know if this works for you. I am here to help

To sync photos from a Mac or Windows PC to your device using photo applications
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
In iTunes, select your device's icon in the Devices list on the left.
Click the Photos tab.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Note: Some versions of Photoshop Album and Photoshop Elements don't support collections. You can still use them to sync all your photos.
If you want to sync all your photos, enable the option for "All photos, albums, events, and faces." If you want to sync photos from only some albums, events, or faces, enable the option for "Selected albums, events, and faces" and then select the albums you want. If syncing on a Mac with iPhoto version 6.0.6 or later, you may enable the option to "Include videos" to sync videos directly from iPhoto to your device. (Requires iOS 3.0 or later).
Click Apply.
To sync photos from a folder on your hard disk to your device
Drag the images you want into a folder on your computer. If you want images to appear in separate photo albums on your device, create folders inside the main folder and drag images into the new folders.
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left.
Choose "Sync photos from."
Select Choose Folder from the pop-up menu and choose your main image folder.
Click Apply.

My HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer will not recognize my wireless router passwrd

My printer was working fine but when I turned it on today it wouldn't connect to my wireless router. I try inputing the correct password and the printer gives me this message......"the WPA security passphrase configured on your HP printer does not match your wireless router setting" .
I have entered the password several times and I know what I have entered is correct

Hi @Southglen,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that your HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer will not recognize your wireless router password. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
I would recommend to go through this guide, How to Find the WEP or WPA Key or Password for Your Wireless Network, just to double-check your wireless password, in case it might have changed.
I would also suggest a hard reset, by going to this post How to perform a Hard Reset, by @Rich1.
After those two steps, I would suggest a firmware update, Getting Printer Updates for HP Officejet Pro 8600 (N911), Officejet 6600 (H711) and Officejet 6700 P....
Let's start with these steps, and we will go from there!

HT1379 Summary: how to transfer files from SD card when the system (Mac OS X v 10.7.5) will NOT recognize SD cards.

How to transfer files from SD card when the system (Mac OS X v 10.7.5) will NOT recognize SD cards?
Insert the SD card.
System opens iPhoto with SD contents.
Want to transfer files from SD card to system drive. iPhoto closes
SD card directory removed from the Finder window and is not available again.
I don't want to have to reboot the system every time I want to perform this option.
What's wrong here.
The support columns show this isn't an isolated incident with all sorts of solutions possible.
This is a simple task - there should be a simple method for the system to recognize SD cards.
What's the answer?
I've reviewed a recommendation to reset the SMC.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18500187#18500187
and
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
and another thread that says, basically, you must buy extra hardware to perform this simple task,
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16911326#16911326
another one that has the same problem with OS Mountian Lion,
https://discussions.apple.com/message/21919740#21919740
another one with the problem that says SD cards can't be read by Apple unless the card is formatted specifically for Apple, ie. that Apple is not compatible with other cards, but the problem maybe something else that requires Apple service - (bad SD card reader?).
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18711818#18711818
there are probably more discussions, but I dont' want to spend my entire sunny in Seattle day working this.
thanks for the help!

When I plug in an SD card, the finder window shows it under the DEVICES section. At this point, I can drag the contents to the hard drive. However, when I screw up and click the character on the right side of the name - it apparently closes the SD card and I can't find any command to reload or re-recognize the card. I have to remove and reinsert the card and then sometimes it recognizes the card. Other times I reboot and it will recognize it.
What does that character on the right side of the SD card name do? Is it an eject function - with no way to subsequently reread the drive?
It ejects or unmounts the card. When the SD card mounts click on it once to highlight it and then drag the files shown within it to the new folder.
