I have another iMac (power pc) and have tried recently linking the 2 via Airport also with no joy..Can anyone share there comments..

Don't just upgrade without checking out the detail first. I posted this in another thread earlier today:
Firstly ensure you have full backup your can restore from - Time Machine or clone, in case you need to restore to the previous OS for any reason.
Make sure your computer meets the specs: https://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
Although the tech specs say 2gb of RAM is required, user experience seems to indicate that at least 4gb is required for real-world use.
Be aware that any older PowerPC apps will not longer run as Mavericks (or Lion and Mountain Lion) don't support Rosetta, which enabled the ability. If you rely on any you may need to do lots of updates or replace some apps. Here is a fairly comprehensive list of compatibility of various apps:
http://roaringapps.com/apps
If you decide to upgrade download and install Mavericks from the Mac App Store (in the Apple menu). The installer is 5.3gb, so it's a large download. You may want to make a copy of it onto an 8gb USB stick or DVD as it could save you another big download in the future.
To do this quit the installer before running it as it self-deletes on successful installation. (Once the download is complete you are prompted to click on the 'install' button - it's at this point you quit. The file is downloaded to your Applications folder as a file called 'Install OS X Mavericks').
Some people make a bootable disk of the installer - this can be easily done using Diskmaker X:

I can access the contents of the device via the connection leads using 'My Computer' but not through Itunes as the message always appears!! Using WinVista Homebasic. Is this a known fault with the Ipod4 and VISTA? It works okay on a laptop, however, I would like an expert to take me through the steps to sort out my home desktop computer? Please help?

The internal drive has failed.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

My airport utility says it cannot find any airport wireless devices, even though I am accessing the net via my wifi. What's up with this?

My airport utility says it cannot find any airport wireless devices, even though I am accessing the net via my wifi. What's up with this? Also, I cannot connect to my Photosmart b209a printer, though a different computer - same Macbook Pro can. I tried redownloading the software, but in the setup I get a "device not reachable" message: "However to continue configuring the device in network, your Mac must have access to the device. So please make sure that your Mac has access to the Network ..." I've checked my network on the system preferences and it's properly connected. I'm on the net as I do this. Tis very frustrating, and any assistance woud be appreciated.

Airport Utility is for administration of genuine Apple Base Stations. If you have a different Brand, Airport Utility can do nothing for you.
I think they're using ethernet.
To connect a Printer via Ethernet, no password is needed.
We already tried the password for the internet and that did not work...
If a password is required to connect to the Internet, then WiFi is likley being used, and that WiFi password is the one needed for the Printer connect wirelessly as well.
What make&model Printer? Is it indeed a Wireless Printer? Most connect via USB, but that would force it to use a specific computer to assist in printing.

Hi, I am trying to connect a WD Mybook for Mac to my airport/time machine device. On the AirPort Utility it listed under Disks at 0 Mb. I enabled file sharing. But nothing happens. If I plug it directly into my MacBook it works fine. How do I fix it?

I am trying to connect a WD Mybook for Mac to my airport/time machine device. On the AirPort Utility it listed under Disks at 0 Mb. I enabled file sharing. And also followed all the steps - "secured disk access: with a disk passord", "Airport disk guest access: read and write", "Share disks over WAN". But nothing happens. If I plug it directly into my MacBook it works fine. How do I fix it? Also, its connected via a powered usb hub.

I assume that you are using Mac operating system 10.4.11, as your profile indicates.
The instructions that you referenced are for use with AirPort Utility....not AirPort Admin Utility.
Suggest that you download and install AirPort Utility 5.4.2 for Mac , which will run on 10.4.11.
Also noticed that the instructions do not tell you that the hard drive should be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) to work with the AirPort Extreme, but they should.

Your answer is likely in Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Apple Support If you are familiar with this document, please re-read it and I suspect you may find something you either missed or are doing incorrectly.

What is the make & model of your home Wi-Fi router that you are attempting to connect your G5 iMac to? Which exact model of iMac do you have?
What wireless security type is your router using: WEP, WPA, or WPA2? If you temporarily disable wireless security, can the iMac connect to it now?

Connecting iPod touch to the Internet via a Mac with a wired Internet connection

I have a Mac Mini which is connected to the Internet using a wired Ethernet connection. I've just bought an iPod touch, but the iPod can't connect to the Internet using the wi-fi network I've created on the Mac Mini, although it knows that the network exists. Any ideas?

What happens when you try to connect to the network? Error message?

Router won't connect comps to the net, can't acess router through comps either!!

Hey, umm... I was playin a game for a bit, and suddenly I got booted off the net. I thought it was the game just spiting me (WoW does that sometimes. It hates everyone), but it turned out to be the internet.
I called comcast, confirmed that my internet was ok, and decided to call linksys.
I went to the tech support via phone, dialed the number, and the number is telling me it can't connect the call.
So, I came here.
Now, normally I can always get into the router via my comp to see what the deal is with it. This time though, I can't even acess it!
It tells me it couldn't connect every time I try to get into it, from all the computers.
I figured it could just be a bum wire messin with me. So I went into the closet and pulled out a new one that I had just got. That one didn't work either.
Then I took one of the wires I knew worked (because it connected the computer to the modem and got online fine), and plugged it in. It didn't work either.
So frusterating...
Anyways, I upgraded the routers firmware the other day after hearing that it would give me more port fowarding slots (It DESPERATLY needs more), and all was well up until now.
It's been about 5 days since I did that, so I don't know what woulda caused this to happen all of a sudden.
Espically not being able to get to the router through a computer. That's just weird...
Well, if anyone knows anything, lemme know.
Also, let me know if the phone support comes back up some time soon.

On a side note, im not using the wireless function, and I have it turned off in the settings.

Tried to connect ipod to sound system via USB and asked to format. Pls Help

I have tried to connect my ipod to the dvd system via USB port. It asked me to format the ipod and i pressed yes and than instantly plugged the ipod out [realized what i did]. anyway the meessage on the scereen was that I had to connect it to the pc and itunes to resolve the problem. When i connected Itunes asked me to restore it. I know that if i restore than i will lose all my music. Is there is any other way to fix it?
Thank you very much I really appreciate your help.

Restoration is relatively simplistic. Here's whatcha do. Plug your ipad in, open itunes, now if itunes doesn't recognize it then you may have a problem, anywho, click on the ipad in the devices interface and go to the info tab, click restore, and it'll be just like it was when it left the factory. To get you data back, it should ask if you would like to use a backup, just select the backup you want and you'll be good to go. That is if you regularly backed up your iPad.

My airport network will not connect to to the internet via my modem. My host computer is a hp running windows xp. I have had great connection for 3 years. Then suddenly can not connect. Please can you assist

My airport will not connect to the internet via my modem. Worked for 3 years. Suddenly stopped. Main host computer is hp running windows xp.
When trying to connect windows states connection was cancelled. I have had hp checked by compputer repair and still have same problem?

The router is much, much newer than the computer, perhaps some characteristic of the WiFi network as it's currently setup is preventing the computer from connecting.
Try to go back to the basics: set your WiFi network to "b" mode only (i.e., turn off "g") and termporarily remove the password from it. See if the computer will at least establish a connection at that point. Then start turning on one thing at a time ("g" mode, then security, etc).
Not sure what format your WEP key is, but if it's not 10 characters (the minimum for the standard, which constitutes a 64-bit key), you can try making it that long. If it's 13 or 26 characters, it might be a higher encryption than the computer can support.
If all else fails, you could try looking on ebay/craigslist for a copy of Tiger to install on the iMac, which would have software support for more WiFi encryption schemes. Also, it would provide software support for USB WiFi adapters that would also be able to connect to more modern networks.

It is quite possible to have a different iCLoud AppleID from the iTunes one - have you set up maybe Phot Stream using an non-iTunes AppleID?

Getting error 789 when trying to connect with a PC remotely via VPN

When we set up the VPN we are getting a Error 789 when trying to connect with a PC. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The utilities, provided on the CD, are not required for the PC to access the Internet through the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn). They are only necessary for administering the base station.
If your PC is currently configured as a DHCP client, it shouldn't have any issues connecting by Ethernet. The AEBSn will assign the appropriate IP addresses required for connectivity to the Internet ... just like it does for wireless clients.
