Simple question for getting a wifi connection for Graphite Ibook..

I have a Graphite 466mghz Ibook with a airport card. My home computers are on a highspeed cable modem and then through a router to; one windows pc and one mac G4. I want my laptop to be wireless in my home and still leave my home system in it's current setup with both accessing the net. Any help would be appreciated... I just need to know the basic setup and which base station. Thanks!
G5   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   Ibook g3 graphite aiport ready

I am assuming that your current router is not wireless, so that you would need either a wireless router or access point to allow your iBook to connect wirelessly.
One option would be to acquire a Wireless Access Point (WAP), like the Linksys WAP54G. With this option, you would just need to connect the WAP directly, using an Ethernet cable, to your existing router, and the WAP will provide wireless connectivity to your local network.

    how do i get a wifi connection at home for my ipad from a imac

    If you have a wired connection to the iMac and you are asking about using the iMac for the Internet connection for the iPad, you will need to use Internet Sharing on the Mac.
    No clue which OS version you run on the Mac, but here is a link to help with 10.6 and this will get you started. You can Google " Internet sharing with Mac OS ...." and come up with a number of support articles.

    can anyone answer a very simple question for me ive heard the apple was giving away iphone 4 or 4s bumpers is there any truth to that?

    Not any more, no. There was a free bumper program back when the iPhone 4 originally came out. It has long since expired.

  • I'm staying at my house in Peru, South America. From my PC laptop I can see my neighbor's wifi service network, but I also have my mini iPad and I can not figure out why I can't get any wifi connection from my area. Is there a setting I need to do?

    Yes, I did try to go on my settings>wifi and was waiting for any wifi signals to pick up, but nothing shows up. But on my PC I get a whole list of networks to choose from. Regarding my neighbor, I already have her password that is why I was able to get it on my PC, the problem is that the mini Ipad is not picking any signal neither can it locate me when I go to maps.

  • NB305 - Cannot get a WiFi connection

    Bought a new NB305 today. Set it up (seemingly) OK, but I cannot get a WiFi connection.It recognises my home network, but will not connect. Troubleshooter etc. cannot solve it.
    I can connect using a T-Mobile dongle though.
    The netbook is running Windows 7 Starter and I have a Belkin F5D8632-4 v1 router. Is there possibly a compatibility issue between Windows 7 and the router? I have checked the wireless drivers on the netbook and both are latest versions.
    Having spent the last hour or so searching through this forum and others, and tried various things I am now at a loss.
    Any ideas?
    Many thanks.

    Hi Nickverwood,
    In my opinion there shouldnt be a compatibility issue between Windows 7 and your router. Normally you can connect to router with every operating system.
    So it would be interesting to why you cant connect. Are you prompted for WLAN password and are you using the right one?
    Maybe you did activate the MAC address filter on router so you have to allow the MAC address of NB305 firstly before you can connect.
    Have you tried a firmware update for router?

  • IMac connects via ethernet fine but iBook doesn't get the wifi connection

    I'm not computer literate. I'm told this has to do with the airport sharing but it looks to me like the airport sharing has to do with reading OTHER wifi connections on my iMac. I don't need that. The iMac is connected to the internet just fine. My iBook and my iPhone don't get the wifi connection that it used to get and I can't figure out why not. Thanks in advance for any and all help.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    More information would be helpful. Your iMac is connected to your ISP's service with Ethernet? And you are sharing that internet connection for the iMac with other Apple devices from the iMac's AirPort card? Do I have that correct?
    If so have you shared that internet connection according to Apple's protocol for doing so?
    My Mac mini is connected to the internet by Ethernet cable to my ISP's gateway. I am sharing the Ethernet connection to two iPod Touches via AirPort from my Mac mini. This is how Apple says to configure a Mac to share the connection;
    1. In Sys Prefs/Sharing highlight Internet Sharing (do not check the box)
    2. Share the connection from: Ethernet (from the dropdown menu)
    3. To computers using: AirPort (check the little box)
    4. Press the button AirPort Options...
    5. Name the Network
    6. Use Automatic for the channel or assign a specific channel
    7. Encrypt the network with one of the choices
    8. For sharing with a non-Apple device; PC laptop, MP3 player, etc, you must use only a 5 alphanumeric character, 40-bit WEP password or only a 13 alphanumeric character 128-bit WEP password. That does not apply if you are setting up sharing for Apple devices only.
    9. Press OK
    10. Check the box for Internet Sharing
    11. Answer any dialog boxes that pop up
    Any other forms of configuring sharing the ethernet over AirPort ususally results in various issues.

  • Pro Tools convert to Logic Newbie some simple question for logic users

    Hey guys, I am a recent convert from Pro Tools! and There were just some simple questions I thought some of you may be able to help me out with. I am using Logic 9.1.1
    1) After I set up a multi timbral software instrument (in this case MOTU Symphonic Library) how do I set up midi channels to trigger the individual sounds in the instrument. (in pro tools I used to create a midi track then send an output of that track to that particular soft synth)
    2) How do I set up a and forgive my Pro Tools vocab but basically I want to set up a reverb channel on an aux track have it receive on a bus so I can send other tracks to that particular bus.
    Thanks for the insight and really looking forward to finally make use of all this ram! lol

    1) I have a nord stage and would like record via midi. In pro tools i would usually need to create a midi track with the output set the the nord and an audo aux track to hear it What would I do in order to record midi from my nord stage?
    To record, just select a non-audio track, hit record and play the keyboard. The notes will get recorded into a region.
    If you want to play it back to the Nord Stage as well, then it makes sense to set the Nord up as a MIDI device in your templates, so you can just add the Nord to a track and not worry about what MIDI ports it's on etc. Open the environment, create a New -> Instrument, called it "Nord Stage", set the MIDI port and MIDI channels it's on, and sav your template.
    Now, when you start a song, to sequence the Nord, you just assign the Nord instrument to a track (by for instance, right clicking on a track and choosing your Nord instrument from the list of environment obects that appears).
    2) The multi instrument trick is quick and easy its great but How would I do that manually?
    Lots of ways, look into your key commands, ther are all kinds of "Create track with same instrument", "Create track with next MIDI channel" and so on. There are too many ways to do this to quickly talk about here. In short, all tracks have an environment object assigned to them, whether it's an audio object, or a MIDI instrument object, and this determines where the data on the track goes.
    3) How do you set up midi so that it doen'ts overwrite notes when recording over them?
    Not sure I understand you here...

  • SOME SIMPLE QUESTIONS FOR ALL OF YOU

    hi,
    I have some questions for all of you.
    1. Oracle uses cgi (even asp!!! I've seen an asp page somewhere on an Oracle's site but this moment I don't remember where perhaps it is asp->cgi). Why ?
    Oracle doesn't support their techologies
    (Pl/SQL, Jsevlets,XML) ?
    2. Oracle says that has just released a
    new product for mobiles called "Portal2Go".
    I tried to install this product on NT with OAS 4.8.1.
    I had many problems during the installation and after many tries finally I did it(thanks God). but the problems continue...
    many Jsp errors (from the "tested" supplied apps). My question is:
    a. This product is in an early stage (many installation errors.. just a baby) and I think is stable for Sun Solaris but not on NT.
    b. You Oracle "experts" (i.e. oracle staff, NOT YOU guys) tell me ONE advantage to use you product (I'm an oracle developer for 6 years now):
    You say that I can PORT my existing app in any device and Web (through XML). This is a joke. Mobiles,PalmPCs,Web etc. have different requirements (content,display etc).The scope is different.. so this is absolutely FALSE (to use a boolean).
    This release is user unfrienlty. Why.. tell me WHY to pay for a product and for extra hardware (read the product technical reqs!!) to do the SAME THINK
    I do NOW with existing sources.
    I've developed an app for my company's employees using existing version of DB (8.0.5),pure pl/sql and a WAP GATEWAY.NOTHING LESS NOTHING MORE.
    please answer. Any comment welcomed...
    maybe I'm wrong maybe I'm not.
    PS.WHERE THE WAP GATEWAY/SERVER IS. I searced the cd and..nothing :-) ?
    thanks

    Portal-to-Go is a wireless portal server, the first version was released November 1999.
    The problems you describe that mobiles, Palm devices, etc all have different characteristics is one of the key reasons for Portal-to-Go. It allows any service to be displayed on any device by generating content in an appropriate format for specific devices. This way you can take into consideration the size of the screen, the display characteristics, etc.
    It is 'stable' on Solaris and NT, though it is true that the installation procedure of the CD is for Solaris only. The product is not currently available on OTN, so the installer restrictions should have been explained to you when you obtained the CD.
    Why Portal-to-Go? Here's three reasons:
    1. Inherent problems of the User Interface for a wireless device, so we provide a way personalise the UI to improve navigation and allow commonly used parameters to be saved as stored preferences through the portal.
    2. Differences in the characteristics between wireless devices make it hard to support all type without re-creating content and applications for each specific case. With Portal-to-Go, the same service can be accessed from any device.
    3. Lack of content available for WAP and other wireless devices. We have tools to quickly create wireless services from existing Web sites as well as an application platform for creating new Java or database applications for wireless devices.
    You are correct that the product does not have a WAP gateway.
    I'm not sure where you are located, but feel free to contact me offline. I can answer any specific questions, or get you contact with a local Oracle representative.
    At the moment, if anyone wants to obtain a copy of Portal-to-Go, you should contact your local Oracle representatives.

  • Can't get a wifi connection

    Can anyone help me. I am struggling to get a internet connection on my ipad 2. My home wifi is working (mac book working fine), but despite my ipad showing i am connected to my home wifi, Safari says "safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the inbternet". I have tried resetting my network settings and also rebooting, but am still struggling. anyone out there help me please ?

    Despite the WiFi sign you may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
    Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address when the iPad requested it. To check on this use Settings. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address shown there starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix for this can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power to the router for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • How do i get my Wifi connection speed back up after ios 5.0.1 on 3gs?

    It actually began after the ios 5.0 update but this one hhas not fixed it. I notice that many people have had this same problem but i would like to know how to sort it out without spending extra money as THIS IS NOT OUR FAULT!! It seems clear that it is the update unless odds longer than winning 5 countries lottery in a week have come in and this many iphones have lost wifi connectivity in a single day.... I think not. Anyway back to the point, is there anything i can do to rectify this? My wife has the same problem and yet again.... What a long shot.

    Hey iphoneboy16
    Create a Shared Photo Stream to get any missed photos that did not make it into the Photo Stream. Remember, when you turned on Photo Stream it will start to copy new photos taken at that point in time. It also only holds the pictures for 30 days and up to 1000 photos.

  • Why won't my iPad connect to the wifi when my iPhone is right next to it, and my phone gets perfect wifi connection?

    I am currently having a problem with my iPad 2. It won't connect to my home wifi as well as my iPhone 4s. I have them both sitting right next to me and my phone has perfect wifi connection while my ipad can't even find the wifi. I've been having this problem for a while now. I've resetted it numerous times, had it looked at at the Apple store, and much more to try to fix this problem. I don't know what to do. Thanks for your time.

    You need a router that sends out a wifi signal. Or you can go to public library, fast food joint, etc.

  • TS3992 I have the message on my iPad. This iPad hasn't been backed up for 2 weeks..... This message has disabled the iPad so that I cannot get the wifi connection to do the backup. Can anyone help? Irene A

    This has meant being unable to use my iPad for 2 days!!! Help please!

  • One simple question for Apple Configurator

    Hi !
    I was wondering if possible to adjust setting on a Ipad anytime i wish by wifi.
    I always doing my setting for the profile when my ipad is plug (USB) in my mac mini. I wish that i can change the setting for all profile without the need to plug in my computer.  Is there a method, please let me know.
    Thanks in advance

    If you need the functionality of Configurator, but want changes pushed over the internet instead of having to connect using a white wire, you need the Profile Manager service provided by OS X Server.  That's what it does.

  • Simple question for bas

    or anyone else that may know the answer.
    should my bios see the sata drives with the sata controller enabled even before i do the f6 when installing the via raid drivers in the os.
    also what jumpers should be shorted on the back the hard drives. i have 2 raptors that im trying to get in raid 0
    anyone ?

    I have 2 raptors...
    Actually i have 4 - 2 on VIA + 2 on Promise..
    Erm if your on about you Mobo BIOS.. then no - it wont see them unless you create an array in the VIA or Promise (depending on which you have connected them too) BIOS's - The Raptors come already with the jumpers connected in the correct place for SATA so you wont need to change them.
    Just create an Array in the corrosponding BIOS and then that array should show in the mobo BIOS as a bootable device. Then select CD rom bootable in BIOS - chuck the CD in the cd drive - do windows setup - Press f6 when it says "install SCSI or Raid device" then put in the correct Raid adapter driver that you have connected to your HDs too.. then proceed and format your HDs etc and install as norm..
    Goodluck
    Cheers
