Upgraded to Leopard and can't  to wireless non broadcasted SSID

Since upgrading to Leopard a few days ago I can no longer connect to my network here at work.
We do not broadcast the SSID and use a 64bit WEP encryption.
My airport will see the WAP for a brief second and then it will go offline. Windows users have there network authentication set to shared.
Are there settings that I am missing.

If the SSID is not being broadcast, your MBP will not "see" the network. You must enter all of the data for the connection including the SSID. I haven't used WEP in a very long time but my recollection is that 64 bit WEP requires a 10 hexadecimal character key. There were many products that allowed this to be entered as a 5 ascii character string. Unfortunately not all manufacturers did the conversion the same way. In my experience it was always best to enter the key in hexadecimal.

  • Upgraded to Leopard and can't Print

    Hello,
    Ever since I upgraded to Leopard I can't print to my HP 1115. I can print test pages just fine and if I send a normal document from any application and then put my computer to sleep when re-waken it, it will print the document, however the quality is very poor.
    I'm running version 10.5.4 on a PowerPC G5. I've tried printing from Photoshop CS, Mail, Safari, and TextEdit.
    Any suggestions are welcome!

    Hmmm, I will have to see if I still have the install disks I've had this printer for probably 5 years! When I first got my Mac computer with Tiger installed I didn't have to install anything, just plug-in and go. Normally I wouldn't need the disks for printers or scanners its just so much easier to go to the site and download the drivers, mac or PC. That way you don't get any of the extra junk they often have on the disk.
    Where would you look for "Pacifist"? Utilities? I'll try doing a search when I get home to see if I can find it myself but I thought I might ask...
    I read on another internet page about uninstalling the HP drivers and than re-installing the one they provide. They discribe the same problem I'm having and claim it will fix it. I couldn't do it though because I didn't know how to completely uninstall all the HP drivers on my computer.

  • Just upgraded to Leopard and can't see individual photos in Finder

    I have just upgraded my late-2007 iMac to Leopard and dragged and dropped my photo library from a back-up disc. iPhoto can use it but the individual photos aren't available to browse in the Finder...
    Nor can I select an individual photo when I try to add one as an attachment in Mail- I only see the Library file as one big 6GB file.
    What can I do?

    but that's a very complicated way of doing it...
    So access the photos using the Photos button in the message window in Mail or use one, some or all of these
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    Regards

  • I have a 2005 PowerBook G4 with tiger 10.4, Do I have to upgrade to Leopard first and then Snow Leopard and can I do that on such an old operating system.

    I have an old system Tiger 10.4 on a 2005 Power Book G4 and wonder if I can upgrade to Leopard or can skip to Snow Leopard.

    A 2005 PowerBook has enough horsepower ro run OS 10.5 Leopard If you have enought RAM. However, no pre-Intel Mac can use any higher Mac OS. 10.6 and higher MUST have an Intel processor, a feature not incorporated in Mac notebooks until 2006.

  • I just upgraded to Yosemite and can no longer connect to the WIFI  any suggestions

    I Just up upgraded to Yosemite and can no longer connect to internet - any ideas?

    I have the same problem after loading OS X 10.10 Yosemite on my MacBook Pro (Late 2008).  Wi-Fi (Time Capsule) connects OK, then I open Safari and it waits for a minute and then gives me a message that it can't load the page because I'm not connected to the Internet.  The Wi-Fi is fine.  When I run the network analysis, it shows that everything is fine up to the Internet; the dots are red after that.  I have another MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) and it loaded and runs with no known problems (so far).  I am writing this message on the Late 2008 MacBook Pro, so you can see that there is no problem with the Internet connection.  It is a Yosemite problem.  My iPhone and newer MacBook Pro connect with no problem.  I loaded Yosemite TWICE, then ran the Disk Utility and fixed some disk permissions but there were no other problems identified.  Restarting after reloading Yosemite and the same problem is there.  Restarted after running the disk utility and fixing disk permissions and it still can't connect to the Internet.  Same problem.  Does anyone have an idea how this might be fixed?  What's going on?  Thanks for your help.
    Update:  Air Drop also doesn't work.  Thanks.

    Quark XPress 8 has a few of those PPC only tools, too. Like they they forgot to update them or something.
    They were already at v9 when Lion came out and decided that official support would be for v9 only; see here.
    According to this, the only thing PPC in v9 and v8 are video encoding for SWF export -- looks like an XTension according to System Profiler. Given their position of not officially supporting v8.x in Lion, that will probably always remain broken in v8. I use v8.5.1 in Lion; works fine for me -- I don't do any SWF exporting.
    I have a few other things on my MBP, recently upgraded to Lion; I upgraded just about every app to the latest versions with exception of Quark. The only  other PPC things besied that XTension are some scripts from Adobe Illustrator CS5.1, which got installed with CS 5.5. I guess Adobe forgot to upgrade those. No biggie, I never use them.

  • Upgraded to Yosemite and can no longer remote into my work iMac through screen sharing- it is turned on in settings?

    My screen sharing functionality did not show up in the dock with an updated icon.  It had a question mark- shows my connections but nothing works, I did make sure screen sharing is on and also connected to VPN.  Once I tried to launch screen sharing nothing happens.  Such an elegant solution in Mavericks not does not work. Ugh. Help!

    This is the post that got me set up- I too am running an older version at work vs. Yosemite. As soon as I followed is advice everything worked.
    Upgraded to Yosemite and can no longer remote into my work iMac through screen sharing- it is turned on in settings?
    I believe the location of the "Screen Sharing" app has changed, which explains why if you had it in the dock it has been replaced by a ?
    Don't forget you can launch screen sharing (once your VPN connection is up) by typing in the Safari destination slot vnc://remotemachinename:portnumber  (omit the :port number if you are using the default VNC port, 5900).  This should launch Screen Sharing and put its icon in the dock.  You can drag the Screen Sharing icon to the left of your dock and it will hopefully remain there after you exit Screen Sharing, or you can right-click on the icon when it's running and select Options->Show in Finder to find out its new location and drag its icon to the permanent entries in your dock.
    Hope this helps; worked for me.

  • I upgraded to Mavericks and can't find a driver to work with my EPSON Perfection 4990 scanner.  The Epson site says to update thru my mac but it there is nothing there.  Any suggestions?

    I upgraded to Mavericks and can't get my Epson Perfection 4990 scanner to work.  I had gotten it to work with a driver I downloaded from EPSON with Mountain Lion

    Hi...
    Epson is vorking on updating drivers and utilities for this scanner.
    From the epson site :
    "Description:
    An OS X 10.9 compatible Scanner Driver and EPSON Scan Utility for this model is not yet available but is coming soon. Please check back for availability."
    So, until then you can only use the basic scanning provided by Image Capture.
    Alternatively take a look on vuescan.

  • Just upgraded to Maverick and can't get my opening page to stay on GOOGLE. it keeps opening in SITES and then I have to click on GOOGLE.

    I just upgraded to Mavericks and can't get my opening page to stay on GOOGLE. IT keeps opening in SITES and then I have to click on GOOGLE to begin searching. I would rather not hav to go through 2 steps to start everytime. I entered google's address in preferences but it ignores my preference.

    You don't say which browser you are using so I will assume it's Safari. If so then open Safari - Preferences - General tab and look for where you set the home page, just set it to www.Google.com
    If this fails for some reason then  open Safari and reset it (look in the Safari menu) and choose all options for the reset. The re-try setting the preference. Post back with your results.

    have snow leopard and can't install disc 2 of premiere elements 9 anyone? the disc ejects after i try install.

    Sorry you're having trouble, alan4555, but most of the video experts hang out in the Premiere Elements forum, which is here:

    and you'll probably get better help there. Good luck!

  • Just upgraded to Lion and can not use my QuarkXpress program.

    Just upgraded to Lion and can not use my QuarkXpress program.

    Your best bet is to check the version of QuarkXPress you have. Since Lion does not include Rosetta my guess is this may be why it is not working. Check out this site http://roaringapps.com/apps:table. This site has a list of apps that work and don't work under Mac OS X Lion.
    If you are working in a production environment freelance or stuido that uses design apps like QuarkXPress, Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop you should always wait to upgrade your OS. We have a 3 to 6 month policy for upgrading computers and software.
    I hope the website helps.  http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

  • Just installed snow leopard and can't open any of my word docs?

    Just installed snow leopard and can't open any of my word docs?

    Depends on what you're doing; SL doesn't really support Office docs directly. In Snow Leopard, TextEdit can open Word docs, albeit with little fidelity for anything beyond text. Try iWork if you need to really work with Word docs (note that even then it's an import/export process and not native support).

    Thank you

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • Broadcast and non-broadcast SSID issues with iPhones and iPads

    We have a CIsco wireless infrastructure configured with a public broadcasted ssid and a private non-broadcast ssid that we are experiencing issues with the iPads and iPhones.  The iPad or iPhone will switch between both ssids if defined but keep the original IP address when it switches to the non-broadcast ssid making it unusable.  It shouldn't be switching at all technically.  If the non-broadcast ssid is defined only on the iPhone or iPad, the broadcast ssid pops up and starts asking for authentication information.  I have Cisco looking into this but I'm quite sure this is an Apple bug. Any other device works fine.  We are currently using version 4.3.5(8L2) on the iPads and iPhones.  I do know that if we broadcast both SSIDS, the issue goes away, but I don't want to do that.  Although it doesn't really add any more security, it just isn't advertised, so most people won't see it and avoids a lot of questions. Hopefully there's a simple solution. 
    Any ideas apple guys?
    Also how does one open an actual trouble ticket with apple?
