Starting with wireless

Hi, I have never had wireless internet and have no clue how it works whatsoever.. I am told that my apple ibook g4 comes with Apple Extreme WiFi 802.11g. What do I need to buy and do inorder to set up wireless internet?
Apple iBook G4 1.33GHz PowerPC Mac OS X (10.4.7)

It all starts with deciding on high-speed (DSL/Cable) or dial-up access to the Internet. From there you would pick an Internet Service Provider (ISP) in your area.
The ISP, normally, will provide you with a DSL/Cable modem. For dial-up, you would use the modem built into your iBook.
You would then need to acquire a wireless router. Most folks have good luck with either the Apple, Linksys, or D-Link products. Some recommendations: Apple - AirPort Extreme Base Station or AirPort Express; Linksys - WRT54G or WRT54GC. Since your iBook has an AirPort Extreme card in it, you want a wireless router that supports the 802.11g standard.
The basic configuration then would be:
DSL/Cable Modem > (ethernet cable) > Wireless Router > (wireless) > iBook

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.

Newbie help. How to get started with wireless internet?

hello.
i am new to mac. im planning on switching by purchasing a MacBook Pro for my freshmen year in college.
i was just wondering if the MacBook Pro already has the equipment i need to have wireless Internet. what do i need to purchase along with my MacBook to have wireless Internet? i read about AirPorts but i don't understand it. i need to buy something separate to have wireless Internet?
also i am new to wireless Internet. i have dsl and my friends told me all i need to do is a wireless router. can someone shed some light on that area as well.
thanks!

Hello there:
When you go up to your Airport signal menu, located on your menu bar on the right side, it will list the available hotspots that are within wireless range. Some indeed are free. Select it, go to your browser and you are good to go. Some DO require subscription to access. Generally what happens with these is that you select the network, and then your browser will take you to a registraton page. You can then pick an access plan and pay with a credit card. The registration page will tell you what locations carry that plan. For example, there is one company that runs hot spots in all the major airports... you subscribe, and then whenever you are in an airport, you can access the web.

Getting Started with 9iAS Wireless

I installed the 3 CDs for 9iAS and when I look at my inventory for installed Oracle products I see that 9iAS wireless is installed, however I can't find any documentation, links or admin programs that help me get started with it. I have a WAP emulator and I want to write applications in PLSQL in the XML format, however it rejects them claiming that the page is HTML and not accepted. What do I need to do to write applications in PLSQL that will work on a WAP enabled device.
Thanks

You can find documentation to Oracle9iAS Wireless Release 2: http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/ias/doc_library/90200doc_otn/wireless.htm
In the Getting Started and System Guide, you can find a walkthough of the product: http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/ias/doc_library/90200doc_otn/wireless.902/a90486/pags.htm#1005603
Additionally, here is a link to a hosted version of Oracle9iAS Wireless called the Mobile Studio: http://studio.oraclemobile.com. This has infrastructure set up so you can easily access your application through voice, SMS, any mobile browser...
Hope this helps,

My MAC mini looses the wi-fi connection to a Belkin N wireless router when it goes to sleep or shut down. I have to re select the network when restarting or waking the computer up. I think this just started with Lion. My iPod and iPad have no trouble.

My MAC MINI looses the wi-fi connection to a Belkin N wireless router when it goes to sleep or shuts down. I have to re select the network when re starting or waking up the computer. I think this just started with LION. My iPod and iPad have no problem remembering the wireless network.

Thank you BGreg. That is what I have been doing, and then it works just fine. I think it was doing the same thing in the previous version of Lion. I may be incorrect about that. I upgraded to 10.7.3 a few weeks ago, and then last week I reloaded the combo update, hoping it would help. Not so. Thank you for letting me know it is a common problem. I have tried permissions in Disk Utilities, and in Macaroni, both at least 4 times, plus numerous restarts. Nothing Improves. It still can not find the internet when it wakes up or gets up.

Macbookpro with wireless & Cinema Display

I'm wondering if it is possible to use a macbook pro with a wireless keyboard, wireless mouse, and cinema display while the laptop is closed?
So to clarify, can I have my macbook pro closed and still use wireless keyboard and mouse and veiw everything on the 20 inch cinema display?
IBM Netvista P4 Windows XP aout to switch to mac

I am going to try the exact same configuration as you. Are you from the windoze world? I am which is why I need help with the configuration of MBP.
For the MPB, with wireless keyboard and mouse, and cinema display, I don't need a docking station then?
So the setup is bring my MBP to work, then come home, keep the laptop on, close it, place it near the display/kybd/mouse and start typing, basically. No docking station required?
Also what about the wireless at home, how does that work with MAC. Right now I have a linksys router connected to my cable. Do I need to buy the airport wireless router or will this still work? What is the difference?
thanks all

HP D110 AIO printer. Prints jam when printing with wireless, but not when hooked to USB cable! HELP!

I have a HP D110. It jams the paper when I print with wireless, but not when I use USB cable. Any ideas?

From what you describe you are having issues printing from MS Office. Have you had trouble printing from other resources on your computer (e.g. from the internet or another program)? The first thing I am going to suggest is that we start by uninstalling and reinstalling the printer from the resources available online.
First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it (this is important). Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer.
In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it.

Mapping problem with Wireless Keyboard and Japanese iPhone

Hi everyone:
This seems to be a slightly obscure question -- at least, I can't find a ready answer for it with the search terms I've tried, possibly because most people don't use this particular accessory with the iPhone.
I have an iPhone 4 that I bought from and use on Softbank, the carrier in Japan, where I live. While visiting the United States recently, I bought an Apple Wireless Keyboard from an Apple retailer. I wanted to carry it with me for use with my iPhone, so I would reliably have a convenient way to access the Internet without being confined to the touchscreen keyboard. (I live in a rural area where WiFi spots are uncommon, but my iPhone's access to Softbank's data network is fairly good and consistent.)
However, to my frustration, I can't use the keyboard due to a mapping problem. The Bluetooth connection is fine -- the iPhone can discover the keyboard. However, the mapping is off: typing "Q" gets me "A," typing "Z" gets me "W", numbers and punctuation are off, etc. The key point: This is NOT a problem with the International Keyboard settings (under the Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> International Keyboards menu). I have the Keyboard setting set to QWERTY, which is the layout of the Apple keyboard; I have tried all the other possibilities, just in case. None of them work. Setting the Keyboard setting to QWERTY does not make the external QWERTY keyboard map correctly.
The rather ironic addendum is this: While on a recent trip to Tokyo, I visited the Apple store in Shibuya and, after concluding the main business of my visit (discussing my MacBook's battery problems with an English-speaking staffer), I took out my iPhone and keyboard and asked him about my mapping problem. He started with the Keyboard menu, tried the same things I had tried, realized they weren't working, and puzzled over the problem for a while. Then he did this: He hit a key combination (I believe) that brought up a menu on the iPhone's screen. "Ah, there's your problem," he said, and selected a new setting. The problem was instantly fixed.
To my chagrin, however, I neglected to write down what "Ken" had done to fix the problem. Argh... I was looking at the iPhone upside-down; I'd already taken up more than half an hour; people were waiting, and I guess, being used to living in the countryside now, that I'm not used to Shibuya crowds any more. Anyway, I didn't take careful notes or ask him to walk me through it, and now I cannot recall or repeat what he did. And I still can't use my keyboard!
Any ideas or advice, anyone? How did "Ken" fix my problem, and how can I repeat it? Much, much appreciated, in advance.

THAT'S IT. Sir, you have solved my problem. Thank you!!
And I feel a little silly; this will doubtless seem to an expert as if it should have been obvious all along. But isn't that always the way in hindsight?
Here's what happened: The key combination I was trying to remember was "Apple/command + space on the hardware keyboard," as you just said above. The "menu" it brings up is, apparently, a list of keyboards. I take it that this list is the same as the list of the "virtual" keyboards on the iPhone? I have never had more than one external keyboard -- the Apple Wireless -- but I do have several keyboards active virtually, as the iPhone in Japan seems to come with both the "Nihongo Ten-key" and the "Nihongo Romaji" keyboards active, and I added several other languages as well.
When I hit "Apple/command + space," this list comes up on the iPhone's touchscreen. Highlighted and checked at the top is "English," just as if it had been selected all along. But nonetheless, when I first turn on and pair my keyboard with the iPhone, I need to perform this key-combination action, as if to "reselect" English, and then the keyboard promptly starts working properly as QWERTY. I can only assume that one of the others had been default-selected before -- presumably one of the Nihongo ones? -- and that this was causing the interference.
Thank you again! You have made me and my wireless keyboard very happy.

I am having problem with trying to install the printer with wireless connection.i have windows 7

the blue light on top of the printer blinks very fast and intermitenly. i cannot install the printer with wireless. I tried with the CD that came with the printer but the green install bar just stops and freezes. I have a 4 month old Dell laptop. Printer just purchased from HP is Laser Jet Professional P1102w.

Are there any third party firewalls installed (e.g. Kaspersky, Norton, BitDefender, etc.)? It sounds like something is blocking the software and third party firewalls have been known to block communication with the printer.
How far in the installation process do you get (what options are you able to get to)?
Is the USB cable connected at the start of the installation?
Do you receive any errors at all? If so, what are they?
Have you tried using Smart Install? Smart Install works by connecting the USB cable to the computer. By default, you should get a prompt to run a file. Running this file starts the Smart Install process.
This video is a good guide to Smart Install.

Getting started with an iBook G3?

Hey,
I just got an iBook G3 (500mhz, snow, airport, 10gb hd, upgraded ram), to compliment my iMac (G5 rev c) and I'm a little new.
It was used, I got it via trade.
Does anyone have some tips for me to get started with it ? I'm wanting to upgrade the HD to at least 20 GB, and to max out the ram. Any hints on that ?
Also, where can I get a new battery and charger ?
Also, what else should I know about it ?
It will mainly be used for writing (novel, fan-fics), surfing the web (wirelessly), and when I'm traveling...
Oh, it has OSX10.2 installed.

Hi, Josh. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
How much RAM is installed?
Does it have the original AirPort card installed? (You may want to install one, if not, to enable wireless access to the internet.)
Did the original system CD's and the OS X 10.2 software CD's come with it? If not, try to get the person you got it from to give them to you. You will need them if you intend to upgrade the hard drive (and for maintenance, even if you don't upgrade the hard drive).

Enough dual USB G3 iBooks suffered from a logic board problem that Apple began the iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program in January of 2004. Check out the FAQ page and be aware of how this logic board problem manifests itself.
It has been suggested that you can minimize the chance of a logic board failure of this sort by never picking it up by the front left corner alone. Pick it up with both hands or in the center under the trackpad.
It's also a good idea not to close it any more often than you need to in order to minimize the chance of the backlight cable (and other cables and wires) becoming pinched in the hinge or broken. When you have some time, check out the Discussion thread in the Displays Forum entitled 90 degrees and black out!!!!
Information on using the battery to maximize both life and lifespan can be found here.
You can download the manual for the iBook (Dual USB) from this page:

Good luck, and happy iBooking!

Hi,
on my ProBook surprisingly rt2860sta could not connect anywhere, let alone with WPA, and the opensource driver rt2800pci did. With moderate success I might add because it caused a kernel panic a few times - I found Monitor mode triggered it, in kernel 2.6.36 (have not tried 2.6.37 yet). Note that rt2860sta was known to cause them as well, when disconnecting from networks.
Several things to mind to make it work. Quoting from my article about installing Arch on it:
The only way to get your card working is to make sure to unblock RF-Kill on all devices; the Wireless (and Bluetooth since they are combined in this model). In Arch Linux a simple startup service takes care of it, part of the rfkill package. You also have to make sure one or the other driver is blacklisted. Having them both loaded leads to connection failures.
As for actual connecting, with rt2800pci, you can take a look at my connection script. It includes sample wpa_supplicant configuration as well. See rt-connect.sh: http://sysphere.org/~anrxc/j/articles/p … connect.sh

When synching my 4th gen ipod touch I get error msg saying ipod could not be backed up because session could not be started with the ipod. It only does synch steps 2-5. Do I have to restore it?

When synching by 4th gen ipod touch it skips the first step - backup-, does steps 2 through 5, then I get a message the ipod could not be backed up because a session could not be started with the ipod. How do I fix this? Do I have to restore my ipod? Will all my apps be erased?

You have to have an internet connection, either wireless or through a computer with iTunes. When you choose Software Update you can only update to the latest version for your iPod Touch, iOS 6.1.6

This question was solved.
View Solution.

When you enroll in an HP Instant Ink plan, you pay a monthly fee to print a defined number of pages per month. The plans are based on the number of pages that you print, not on how many ink cartridges you use. Your monthly fee pays for ink, shipping, and recycling. If you do not print all of your plan pages in a month, you can roll over up to the number of pages per month in your plan. If you print more pages, there is an additional charge. Ink is included — the plans are based on your usage so you pay for the pages you print, not the ink cartridges HP sends you. A printed page counts the same whether it is black and white, a color document, or a photo. Shipping is included.
