Upgrade to 10.4.9 killed Airport N
I bought and correctly set up a new Aiport N yesterday. It was allowing my G4 Powerbook to access the internet remotely just fine until I was prompted, and upgraded to 10.4.9. After restarting, I could no longer gain access to my network. I connected the laptop directly to the Airport, used the utility to reset the Airport and it works fine working through the ethernet cable, just not through the air.
I upgraded my three macs to 10.4.9 over the past two days. Everything was fine at first. Sometime last night they all lost the ability to connect wirelessly with the Airport Extreme (802.11n).
I just get "There was an error joining…Try Again" message. I've spent the past hour troubleshooting the problem.
They can all see it and the one that is wired to the network can even mount the Airport hard drive. I can administer the base station from the wired network and have now done both soft and hard resets but still cannot connect wirelessly to the base station.
There was one other oddity. Each time I installed 10.4.9, I had to restart the base station before the computer could mount the Aiport hard drive.
Update: sometime in few minutes since I started this reply, two of the three machines have re-connected to the base station. The one that cannot connect uses an original Airport card. Very mysterious. I might think interference were it not for the fact that all four devices are in the same room and were unable to connect for several hours.

I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and have recently upgraded to Mountain Lion. Now airport utility won't work with my base station so I bought a Time Capsule. For the life of me I can't make the substitution work and only see a blinking amber light. Can anyone who has made this change offer some advice?

The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
1) I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access. But do I have to change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
2) Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
N.Korean hackers.
[Edit] Whoops-- one more question: I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it. What do I need to do?
You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
Look at Q3 here.

Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together. -
I upgraded to OS X Yosemite and now need to upgrade iPhoto. I have an Airport Time Capsule sitting on my desk that I have not yet employed to backup all my (thousands of) photos. I know, I am a fool. That aside, will I lose my photos in the upgrade? I am desperate to backup my photos and now wonder if I should revert back to my previous operating system. Help!
iPhoto Library is essentially a large datafile in which your photos are stored. iPhoto is an application you use to do things with the photos stored in the datafile. If you backup iPhoto Library then you have backed up all the photos stored in the library. It's iPhoto that links you to all those photos stored in iPhoto Library. All you need do is to copy iPhoto Library to a backup drive. If you are doing regular backups, then you are already making a copy of the iPhoto Library on the backup drive.

A simple Question: Can a Powerbook kill Airport Cards?
After I experienced some kernel panics, I checked the logs and realised the problem had something to do with the Airport Card. When I switched cards with my eMac it worked again for 10 minutes, before another kernel panic shut off the PB.
When I put the card back in the eMac again, it wasn't recognised by the System Profiler anymore.
Now both cards won't work in both machines.
****.Tesserax,
Thanks for the clarification and the specifications resource page.
(I have a house full of PBs--all post-2005. My next venture is going to be a wireless home network, and I wanted to make sure whether I had mixed Airport standards to deal with or, as it turns out, not.)

Upgraded iTunes no longer "sees" my airport express and will not network
Since upgrading to iTunes 8.2, iTunes no longer recognizes or sees my airport express (there is no longer an option box on the lower right area of the iTunes info so I can select computer speaker or additional speakers. The iTunes help says it should recognize the network when it starts, but it doesn't. My Airport is working properly. Sure would like to get those living room speakers back in the game!
I updated Airport Utility to 5.4.2 and even though it ended up telling me I hadn't changed my settings on the AE I use to play iTunes on my stereo, after the update of my Base and Express, the Multiple Speakers box appeared again on iTunes the next time I opened the iTunes window. Also, AU managed to, for the very first time, give me a solid green light on the AE, after a year + of blinking orange. So my advice is to update your Airport Utility and run it.

Windoze Ad-hoc networks killing Airport Extreme Base Station
After having a horrible experience with an Orinoco base station sometime ago at his coffee shop, a client of mine asked me to install a new Wi-Fi access point to replace it. Since I'd never had a problem with my graphite Airport Base Station, I selected recommended that he try the Airport Extreme. Everything was been fine for over a year and half, with only the occasional interference problem, and even that easily fixed by a restart on the base station. Lately that has changed. We're in Baton Rouge, and since Hurricane Katrina, our population in our city has doubled (that's not an exaggeration), and the number of customers using the network in his coffee shop has increased as well - although it's still well below the maximum. The problem is that there are is large number of students from Loyola, UNO and Tulane who are now attending LSU, right across the street. And a significant fraction of those have ad-hoc networks set up on their Windoze notebooks, apparently unintentionally. When they come into the coffee shop their ad-hoc networks seems to cause the Airport Extreme to die, and not recover, until it is reset. This happens many times per day, sometimes more than once in an hour.
It had been configured to automatically select a channel, but I re-configured to use a specific channel (and have been experimenting with the particular channel). It seems to reduce the problem for a time, but then we'll have the problem back in force within a few days.
I have verified (using iStumbler) that there are no other "managed" networks near-by, and I have noticed that the problem ALWAYS happens when there is are ad-hoc networks, and after politely asking customers if I can check their settings, (it's scary how many people will let you poke around on their computer, if you seem like you know what you're doing) I've also seen compelling evidence that it is Windoze users, not Mac users, who tend to cause the problem. Incidentally at this particular coffee shop the Windoze:Mac ration is something like 60:40. What can I say, it attracts discerning customers. Since some of them have "lsuwireless" set up as an ad-hoc network (and as I said, LSU is across the street), my guess is that somehow these get set up, not on purpose, but accidentally, while trying to connect to the university's wireless network. Apparently the process is not so straight forward for Windoze users as for Mac users.
I have upgraded the Airport Base Station software to the latest available as of last week. Though I don't have that version number available at the moment.
So I have several questions:
1) Is this really the same radio interference problem that I've read about elsewhere on this discussion board?
2) Would an external antenna on the base station help? How about a powered one?
3) Aside from "Use Interference Robustness" and trying different channels, is there some configuration setting that I might be missing that could enhance the base station's reliability?
4) Does anyone have a suggestion for a permanent fix - preferably without switching to a different access point, although at this point, that's a viable alternative. After a year and a half of stable operation though, we're loathe to switch again unless it can't be avoided, because the Orinoco access point we used before had behaved exactly like this, but even worse, and without necessarily having ad-hoc networks being present to cause the problem.
5) Failing any other good solution, can anyone suggest a way to determine which computers are causing the problem without having to interrupt each customer to poke around on his computer?I have an Intel based iMac and a MacBook Pro. Both
are (well until tonight) connected to the internet
wirelessly through the Airport Extreme Base station.
I've had no trouble up until now. Tonight for some
odd reason the MacBook Pro Airport card fails to
detect the Airport Extreme Base Station. It detects
OTHER wireless networks around the building, just
not the one it's supposed to connect to. Opening up
Airport Utility doesn't even show the Airport
Extreme Base Station being present. I know the Base
Station is not at fault - it works fine with the
iMac. Tried setting the Sharing mode on but that
didn't help either (not that I changed any of the
settings to begin with).
Can anyone help? I'm really at a loss here.
Any one? Any suggestions? -
Upgrade to 10.9.5 killed outgoing http connections
Hi guys
I have a very weird problem after upgrading the system to the recent 10.9.5 version.
I can't open any website using http scheme, f.e. https works fine.
So, `tcpdump -i en1 dst port 80` doesn't show anything at all
and `tcpdump -i en1 dst port 443` works fine
PS: didn't change any network configuration, firewall is disabled, ipfw and pfctl doesn't show any rules that could block requests1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Upgrade of iPad to ios6 killed my connection completely
I upgraded my iPad to 6 and now the wifi is completely unresponsive. Apple tells me I chose to upgrade and that's my choice. It worked perfectly, only 2 years old, and now it is a paperweight.
I have tried every suggestion on every forum. Spent the last 3 days non stop. Apple genius tells me to try again. Set back to default and 5.
Can anyone tell me if I truly am out of luck? All.previous posts talk about dropped wifi, but mine scans and just can't find any networks at all. Finally the battery runs out from searching.
Help please. Apple will let me pay $249 for a new one. Very generous when their upgrade killed it.Does your MacBook Pro connect to the router you are trying to connect the iPad to?
Have you tried going to a site, like McDonalds or Starbucks, that has open wifi to see if you can detect/connect?
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Cheers, Tom -
Upgrade problems with shared music and airport
I recently upgraded my itunes to v 6.0.3 and now I can no longer see shared music on my network (although people can see my music). I also can't see the option to connect to remote speakers through the airport. I have tried the obvious stuff (e.g. reinstalling, restarting, checking and unchecking shared music and airport preferences) but have had no luck. Any suggestions? This is beginning to drive me nuts...

ITunes upgrade to 6.02 destroyed my Airport Express Airtunes network
upgraded to 6.02 last night, opened iTunes this AM--lower RH corner no longer shows option to use computer speakers or my networked home theater speakers. Airtunes worked flawlessly in 6.01.
is there any way to restore my airtunes network without downgrading to iTunes 6.01?
would upgrading the OS to 10.4.4 fix this?
not sure if this belongs in the iTunes for Mac thread or in the Airport Express thread--mods feel free to move
thanksNo answer from others but I seem to have fixed the problem by unplugging the Airport Express from the wall (i.e unpowering it), waiting 5 minutes,then plugging it back in. Light went yellow for less then a minute,then back to green, and after restarting my Mac and reopening iTunes the Airtunes button was back, and I can now choose the multiple speakers option and thus hear music through my home theater and on my iMac in the other room.

Upgrade to 10.6.8 Killed Internet Connection
So I have been trying to upgrade our server, and I did the software update to 10.6.8, and whenever I do that it kills my internet connection. No matter what I do, it won't let me con
If your MacBook Pro is 10.5.8 as you say it is, the 10.6.8 Combo Pack will not work until after you have purchased the Snow Leopard install disc and run the software to upgrade your system. Once you get your Mac to 10.6.x, you can download the 10.6.8 combo pack, though I'd just recommend doing it through Software Updates as you normally would do updates.
Going from 10.5 to 10.6 or 10.6 to 10.7 is an upgrade and cost money.
Going from 10.6.7 to 10.6.8 or 10.7 to 10.7.1 is an update and is free.
The combo pack is made to go from 10.6.0 to 10.6.8 in one large update. You cannot go from 10.5.8 with it. -
Upgrade to Snow Leopard has killed wifi usability
Upgraded to Snow Leopard a couple of days ago and it has significantly impacted my ability to use WiFi, tried on 3 different networks; 2 personal and one carrier and I am either unable to connect or the connection falls out after a few minutes, and when it works the speed is significantly regraded.
Prior to the upgrade I've never had a problem on these or any other wifi networks. Have tried all the proposed solutions I've found on the discussion forum but nothing seems to permanently resolve the issue.
Looking for some new suggestions or a solution from Apple. Being tethered via an ethernet cable seems so old school!I seem to be having a similar problem but the only option I have is automatic channel selection.
I have a mini with a quickertek nCard in it running at 5 Ghz. Under Leopard I could move it downstairs and everything works great. As soon as I upgraded to Snow Leopard it would no longer work downstairs (signal shows full strength though) but will still work upstairs. Something in Snow Leopard is interfering with performance of the 5Ghz band at a distance. Very frustrating. My only option now is to get the latest Airport Extreme and hope it does better because of its 802.11n at a distance improvements. -
Vista Computer Killing Airport Extreme Network
I have a network that is accessed via a variety of machines (Win, Linux, and Mac). I had been using an Airport Express as the primary base station and two other Airport Expresses as WDS units, and I had no problems whatsoever. I recently replaced the primary one with an Airport Extreme. Now it seems that whenever the network is accessed by a Vista machine, it kills the connection between the Airport Extreme and the modem and everything must be restarted. Is there a configuration setting on the Airport Extreme that could be causing this?
Addendum to the above:
Take a look at this discussion, which describes a workaround but not a solution to the problem:

Whenever an update for iPhone/Touch kills Airport Base Station temp.
I've seen this happen 3 times now. Restoring the iPhone somehow kills the Snow BS which requires a restart by unplugging it. The Airport Admin cannot even see it on any of the computers at home.
I've done 2 updates with iTunes now for 2.0 and 2.01. Each time the Snow Airport just stops transmitting. The lights are all on, but no machines finds it, unless I unplug the snow and reboot it. Anyone else see this happen?If all else fails, you might need to perform a soft or hard reset to factory defaults, then you have to set everything up again, but it might restore it to working condition.
Not sure if this is the model base station that you have:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107451
check the user guide that came with it, in case the procedure may be different.
I hope that helps.
When I bought an "open-box" unit, the device was already set up by someone else with a password, and the hard reset allowed me to start from scratch so I could configure it. -
How to upgrade driver/firmware for 3rd party airport card?
I have a Motorola WPCI810g wireless card that i have been using for over a year. Previously in Panther i tried to upgrade to Airport 4.2 to take advantage of WPA, but i ended up having to downgrade back to 4.1 because 4.2 left airport nonoperational. I have been on Tiger for quite a while and only recently noticed that i was automatically upgraded to Airport 4.2, however I do not have WPA as an encryption option (neither when joining, or creating a network). I can only assume it has to do with the firmware on the card but I cant figure out how to update it. I have tried to search these threads but the closest i can come is using Airport Admin Utility to upgrade the firmware on a base station.
About Airport is such:
Airport

Airport Menu Extra: 427.1.1
Airport Framework: 429.6.0
Airport Extreme Driver: 405.1.0

AirPort Card Information:
Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme
Wireless Card Locale: USA
Wireless Card Firmware Version: 405.1 (3.90.34.0.p18)
Current Wireless Network: wireless network not available
in addition, I found that I can choose WPA as an encryption if i select 'other' as the network. What I would really like to do is create a network with WPA, since i use this desktop to connect my ibook to the internet. so far nothing...
