Trying to connect iBook with iMac with Airport and Ethernet

I have just purchased a wireless router, and all works fine connecting to the internet from the iBook (with Airport) and via an ethernet cable on the iMac.
To share files from the iMac on the iBook I have no problems when the two computers are connected with the Ethernet cable either directly or through the router. However, when I try to connect to the iMac from the iBook using Airport (iMac still connected with cable to router), although the iMac icon shows, when I press 'connect' I get the message "no response from the server. Please try again".
What else do I need to do / what settings on which computer do I need to alter? All advice gratefully received! iMac 9.2.2 / iBook G4 OS 10.3.9 Mac OS 9.2.x
iMac / iBook Mac OS 9.2.x

Jaelke, Welcome to the discussion area!
More than likely your wireless router isn't bridging AppleTalk from the wireless network to the wireless network.
From your iBook, try typing in the IP address of the iMac when attempting to connect to the iMac.

  • Problems with Airport and Ethernet cable

    Hi
    I wonder if anyone can help please, i have a really annoying little problem with my Airport Extreme. I use the internet either at my friends through his wireless internet or at an internet cafe via their ethernet cable.
    Recently I keep getting an error message up every 20 seconds or so that says 'Could not find a PPPoE server' and i have to click connect in my built in ethernet settings before the cable or even the wireless internet connection works again and this is getting really frustrating. Is there any way to restore my internet connect settings so that using airport and plugging an ethernet cable in will be a bit more straight forward.
    Any help that you can give me would be very much appreciated.
    Many Thanks
    Dave

    Hello davehtaylor. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Recently I keep getting an error message up every 20 seconds or so that says 'Could not find a PPPoE server' and i have to click connect in my built in ethernet settings before the cable or even the wireless internet connection works again and this is getting really frustrating.
    Is it possible that you have PPPoE enabled in either or both your AirPort and Built-in Ethernet settings on your Mac? If so, you should only need to disable them to remove this warning.
    o AirPort: System Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort > PPPoE > Connect using PPPoE (disabled)
    o Built-in Ethernet: System Preferences > Network > Show > Built-in Ethernet > PPPoE > Connect using PPPoE (disabled)

  • Trying to connect iBook to internet via Airport, iMac G5, and cable modem

    The iBook says it's connected to the G5's local Airport network, but Safari says it's not connected to the internet. I must be missing a setup step, but have no idea what.
    This is my first use of Airport other than using the iBook at Wi-Fi spots.
    Any suggestions? Please and thank you!

    Do I need an Air Port Base station or a router? After I set up everything on my mac mini, what steps do I need to follow on the iBook to get Internet access?
    The AirPort base station is a router. You are not limited to AirPort base stations as non-Apple 802.11g routers (like those from Belkin, D-Link, or Linksys) will work just as well. Using a router, your network configuration would be something like the following:
    Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > [WAN] router > (wireless) > wireless computers.
    The set up for both computers, to access the router, would basically be the same.
    To setup AirPort for High-Speed Cable Internet connectivity:
    System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
    - Verify that an AirPort option exists. If it does not, click "New" to create one. (Note: If you are unable to create an AirPort configuration, the AirPort card in your computer either doesn't exist or it is not recognized.)
    - Verify that AirPort is "On" (checked)
    - Verify that AirPort is at the top of the list. If it isn't, you can drag it to the top.
    Systems Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort
    AirPort tab
    - By default, join: Automatic
    TCP/IP tab
    - Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    - Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
    Proxies tab
    - Configure Proxies: Manually
    - Select a proxy server to configure: <All proxies should be unchecked unless you specifically require a proxy for Internet access.>
    - Exclude simple hostnames (unchecked)
    - Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains: <leave blank>
    - Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV) (checked)

  • Trying to connect tv with airPort  I have DISH network.

    trying to set up the wifi for my tv.  we have DISH network.  it shows my network name twice and ive put my airport extreme  password in both, but it doesnt connect. 
    the DISH instruction says to push the connect button on the rounter--which the airport extremee doesnt have .  so im not making a connection.  I see nothing covering this in the setup guide.  Help?????

    The X-box is looking for the hexadecimal equivalent password, not the clear text passphrase. Use the AirPort Admin Utility to check the password, it can be found at the top of the window (the Padlock icon).

  • Airport and ethernet not working other computers are

    I have a Mac Mini that I use daily. Today when I tried to get onto the internet the bars for airport in the menu bar were gone and a caution exclamation point was there. I restarted and that did not help. I then plugged in an ethnet cable and refigured the mini for ethernet. that did not work. I know the modem and router are working just fine and so is the ethernet since I have other computers on my home network and they all connect ok. Is the airport and ethernet card connected in that if one goes out so does the other?  The mini is 2-1/2 years old. I have a Wii and a satellite box on the same shelf as the mini and they both connect to the internet just fine. is my mini toast?

    In system preferences- network do you have show airport  status in menu bar checked. To the left in network does airport show up. at the top in nework is it on.

  • How i connect iBooks with itunes on my nas?

    How i connect iBooks with itunes on my nas?

    I have been suckered by this problem too. I had all my e-books, mostly PDFs, saved on my NAS and available in iTunes. I wanted to access them from my old iMac with OS X 10.6.8 and my new iMac with OS X 10.9. But when the files were moved to iBooks, they disappeared from the NAS and now I'm in a mess. Thanks, Apple :-(

  • Hi, I'm using a Mac Pro here. I am trying to connect it with my NAS hard drive. But i could not connect to it because i have an ethernet which connects to the intranet in my company and Air Port for the internet.

    Hi, I'm using a Mac Pro here. I am trying to connect it with my NAS hard drive. But i could not connect to it because i have an ethernet which connects to the intranet in my company and Air Port for the internet and it could not detect the the ip address after i input the correct address on "Connect to Server" window. Please help! Urgent! Thanks

    I did not say it is not possible.
    I said if your company networks are monopolizing both ports, you should talk to them about what options are available.
    Maybe you can get the company Intranet over wireless if you change some configuration items such as Subnet Mask.
    Maybe you can get on the Internet over Ethernet.
    You really need to ask them, and do not let them blow you off because you have a Mac. If they balk, ask them how it would be done on a PC (becasue it will be the same on a Mac).

  • HT5706 I just purchased an AppleTV and am trying to connect AirPlay with my mac (2012 model) In 'system preferences displays' an airplay menu is listed but it says 'no device detected'. My AppleTV and macbook are connected to the same network. Any help?

    I just purchased an AppleTV and am trying to connect AirPlay with my mac (2012 model) In 'system preferences > displays' an airplay menu is listed but it says 'no device detected'. My AppleTV and macbook are connected to the same network. Any suggestions why it is not working?

    Troubleshoot the network as that is likely what is causing the issue.
    Also, temporarily disable the firewall on the Mac and disable IPV6 on the computer.

  • Hello, I currently have a MacBook snow leapord and i'm trying to connect it with my Canon MP560 printer, i put in the CD and installed everything properly but now when i add a printer it says a Queue already exists, i click continue and nothing happens???

    Hello,
    I'm using a MacBook Snow Leapord and I'm trying to connect it with my Canon MP560 printer/scanner.
    I installed the CD and followed along with the manual and did everything it asked, at the end it told me it was finished.
    So then I went to go print something and an error had occured so i went to the file menu on Microsoft Word for
    Mac and clicked Print/Add Printer and then i click on the Canon MP560 series-1 as it was the only one to click on.
    When I did it stated that I already has a Queue for this printer and if I'd like to add a new one so I clicked continue and nothing
    had happend. PLEASE HELP
    sincerely,
    Laura.

    I would recommend to download the driver appropriate for your system from the Canon webiste or, after installing it, to run software update and it will detect it for you.
    If you have the last driver appropriate for your system, you may wish to reset the printing system. To do this, go to Sys prefs/print and fax and, upon clicking minus button, also press Option/alt key. You will be asked to confirm, do it. Then, add the printer by pressing plus button, it should work now.
    But, before doing this, download the last good driver, CDs usually contain outdated drivers.

    I suggest that you request this feature, as I have, at Apple's feature request site. Maybe if enough of us request this it will come in a future iOS release.

  • TS3276 Is there a way to sync POP subfolders and download them for backup in Mail on my MBP? I tried syncing the account with Mail and only the Inbox downloads onto my computer.

    Is there a way to sync POP subfolders and download them for backup in Mail on my MBP? I tried syncing the account with Mail and only the Inbox downloads onto my computer. I have Googled enough to find out that the answer is no, but no official answer or recent answer and I am hopeful that there has been a change.

    Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac.  You should be able to set a password for it. Save it.  Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer,  I suppose,  back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity.  As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
    you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
    This handy article from Apple explains how
    How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
    don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
    and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
    time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine  and go for it.  You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups  of your stuff.

  • Trying to connect Verizon wireless router to Airport Extreme but error says Ethernet unplugged.

    Trying to connect Verizon wireless router to Airport Extreme and error says Ethernet Unplugged.

    So, AirPort Utility running on the Windows Vista desktop can "see" the AirPort Extreme and displays its icon, but gives that error message at some point in the setup process? How far does it get?
    Other questions that may help me (or somebody else) understand your problem better:
    Which of the pieces were verified as working before the introduction of the AirPort Extreme?
    Did you have the desktop computer attached to the Verizon GT704WGB with one of the Ethernet cables you are now trying to use? Which one? Have you tried the other one to be sure it also works?
    Are you using the same port on the GT704WGB? Have you tried another one?
    If the desktop has multiple ethernet ports, are you using the same one?
    Had you done any special configuration of the ethernet port on the Verizon GT704WGB to get it to work with your desktop?
    What category ethernet cable are you using? 3? 5? 5e? 6?

  • Im trying to activate iphone with itunes and I get: "The iTunes store is temporary unavailable..." Any help??

    Im trying to activate iphone with itunes and I get: "The iTunes store is temporary unavailable..." Any help??

    Hello there, sarahg12.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting repeated prompts for authorization:
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1389
    All the topics are relevant but this one tends to be the most common culprit:
    Authorize using the correct account name
    The items you are trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
    Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
    Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you will need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
    Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
    If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
    If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.
