Why can't my iBook detect my Linksys wireless-B network?

The network works fine for all PC's, and it even works with my iBook when connected via ethernet, but the airport card can't find my network at all. For simplicity, I reset my router to the very basics so it's not using WEP.
I know the card works because I can detect my neighbor's wireless network.
DHCP is enabled, and the setup page looks like this:

I can post more information if needed. Does anyone have any ideas of what the problem could be? I'm pulling my hair out over this.

I'm having the exact same problem.
I'm using the Linksys BEFW11S4 v2 and have never had problems connecting a windows PC via wireless (using a wireless card). The macbook detected the connection for a few seconds twice, but it is gone from the list almost immediately. I reset the router settings so there is no encryption and an openly broadcasted SSID.
Anyone have any ideas???

Why can I sync iBooks on my iMac and iPad but not my Mac Book?

Why can I sync iBooks on my iMac and iPad but not my Mac Book?

That did cross my mind earlier today and when checking iCloud found that it had an old ID. I logged out and then in again on my current ID. It still doesn't sync.

Why can my iPad no longer find my wireless printer?

Why can my iPad no longer find my wireless printer? Anyone know? It is an HP Photosmart 5510 printer. I had no problem a couple of weeks ago when I first got the printer. Very annoying! Many thanks jonni

Jonni-
Did you make any changes to your system, like a new Wifi router? Some are not compatible with AirPrint.
One possibility is that you have a print job stuck in the print queue. Double click your Home button, and a row of recent Apps will line up along the bottom of the screen. Scroll across and look for the Print Center. If it is there, you should be able to delete any stuck print job.

Can't connect PB G4 to linksys wireless router when 64bit is established

Hello-
I have my PB G4 connected (wirelessly) to a linksys wireless router WRTP54G. If I don't have security set on the router, the PB connects. Once I add the security (64bit) and enter the password, the message "There was an error joining the AirPort network” comes up and I can’t connect. I've connected my other laptop to the network (a PC).
Any ideas on how to fix this? Thank you in advance.

Does your router support any other form of encryption? See if this KB article makes any sense to you.
AirPort: Joining an encrypted wireless network
Personally, I have a sneaky suspicion it has to do with the way your ASCII/hexadecimal password is or isn't being converted to something recognisable by the router. I use a Linksys router at home with a hexadecimal password generated from an ASCII passphrase, and that seems to work fine.

Can Airport Express n join a Linksys wireless network ?

If I already am able to connect to a g airport express, is there anything else that would be keeping me from getting a n unit to connect? I have a Linksys Wireless-N broadband router. I was able to start and go through the initial setup of adding two new n units but when they restarted my mac said there was an error in connecting to them. Am I overlooking something, is my system obsolete or inappropriate or is there something wrong with the units?
Any advice is well appreciated.

Since Apple designed the "extend" feature on their products to only work with other Apple routers, it would be extremely unliklely that this would be compatible with a Linksys product.

Why can't I save Illustrator CC drawings across a network?

The program doesn't freeze, the system doesn't hang, I get no "Can't save..." error message; the "Save" command just seems to do nothing. I can save to my Desktop fine, but across the network...? P-f-f-f-f-f-t-t!!
InDesign and Photoshop will save wherever I tell them to, local or remote, but Illustrator apparently just doesn't want to be cooperative.
I'm running Creative Cloud on OS X (10.8.5) across a MS Server 2008 (I believe) network.
Any answers greatly appreciated because, while saving locally then manually copying my work over to the share is certainly DOABLE, it just seems like a really kludgey solution.

Don't save directly on servers and don't open directly from servers.

Why can't my G4 detect second monitor!?

I just hooked a 2nd monitor to the VGA port but can't get it to work. The primary monitor is hooked to the DVI and works fine.
I opened "Displays" and clicked "Detect monitor" several times. It won't find it.
What else can I do?
thanks!

That oval connector is an ADC, similar to DVI but with power and USB signals added. It can run certain Apple displays (mostly flat panels) that do not have their own power supplies.
On both of those connectors (ADC and DVI) you will see that at one end, there is a plus-shaped area, surrounded by 4 pins at the corners. Those pins are reserved for VGA signals. The adapter Apple put in the box when it shipped connects to those pins on the DVI connector, and extracts them into a 15-pin three-row VGA connector.
It is very difficult to find a VGA extractor for ADC. But for about US$35, you may be able to find a short cable that adapts ADC computer to DVI monitor (by throwing away the power and USB signals and swapping the pins around). \[Belkin makes one, but it may be out of production.] This would allow you to move your DVI monitor to the ADC port, and then you could use a VGA extractor to get a VGA output (from the DVI port) for your second monitor.

HT5557 Why can't my ibooks download samples? On my iPhone 5s??

For some reason ibooks won't let me download samples
Does anyone else have the same problem
And how can I resolve this ??
Thanks

SMS (text messages) are cellar only, they do not use internet connection it's a service provided by your cellular carrier
iMessage can use both internet and SMS, if iMessage cannot send via wifi it will fall back to SMS
if configured to do so. iMessages can only be received by other iMessage users , iPhone, iPad etc
iMessage is part of messages which can be turned off/on and has various setting that can be enabled/disabled
if you message someone who does not have iMessage enabled or has no iMessage your message is sent as a SMS message over the cellular network
depending on how it is configured

Why can't iPhoto '11 detect photos in my iPhoto library?

I recently updated an old version of iPhoto to iPhoto '11, version 9.5.
Now, when I open it, it's empty. No photos. No events. It looks brand new. Before installing this upgrade, I had a small, 64GB library of photos I stored in iPhoto.
So, I set about restoring my iPhoto library from TimeMachine by going in to Finder, finding my iPhoto library, then clicking on TimeMachine, and then once I found the library I wanted, I hit restore. (I think this was the right way to restore the library). I was then asked if I wanted to use "both" libraries or "replace." I clicked "replace."
So far, so (seemingly) good. When I look at the newly restored iPhoto Library via Finder, I can see it's now 64GB (perfect), and when I right click "show package contents" I can see all my pictures there. Great. But when I open iPhoto -- while holding down the ALT or Option key to make sure I'm opening up the right library -- still no photos.
I also tried iPhoto Library Manager, but it too tells me there are no photos in my 64GB iPhoto library.
How can I restore the photos/library to I can see them in iPhoto? I'm tempted to open finder and track them down and copy/paste them over, but have heard it's dangerous to tinker with the library.
Can anyone help?

If you can't find a working library in your Time Machine backups you'll need to take this approach:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Why can't I get Outlook for Mac connected to Network?

I have a friend who recently bought a MacBook Pro after having a pc forever. She had Apple migrate all her data over to the MacBook Pro. We then installed Office for Mac 2011. Her preference was/is to use Outlook for her emal. This only became known to me after I got her email set up and working in Mail. I then proceeded to set up Outlook with the exact same settings that I successfully used for Mail, i.e., incoming and outdgoing servers, ports, SSL, authentication (name and password), etc. There was a brief time when it was up and running, but inexplicably, this is no longer the case. The error message I get continues to point to authentication and her ISP's denial of services. Has anyone else had this problem? I've heard Microsoft's Outlook can be finicky.Any help would be appreciated.

I guess I was hoping that I might find other Mac users who have Office for Mac 2011, encountered the same issue, and had something to offer by way of a solution.
But I will also take your suggestion and post on the forum link you provided.
Thanks, btw, for the link.

Why can't a user see all files in a network share?

Windows Server 2008 R2 is sharing a folder. Advanced Sharing permissions give Everyone Full Control.
NTFS Permissions give the OU "Operations" read/modify permissions.
In the Operations OU, 1 user (let's call him John) cannot see all the files in this folder. For example, here is the real contents of the folder:
File1
File2
File3
File4
File5
Everyone in the Operations OU sees all the files, except John. When John opens the folder, he sees:
File2
File4
File5
Several files are simply missing from the list. I have no idea where to look for help on this one. The files are dynamically added to the folder each day, and each day are cleared out. So every day it is a new set of files being generated (they are coming
from a PDF printer). There is no pattern to which files John can see, and which he cannot. Does anyone have any ideas?
Jesse

I had the same problem, and it was related to permissions. My PCs are now running Windows 8.1 and folder properties are set to display file name extensions of all files. The 2 invisible files are File1 and File3 in your example. I have copied them to
both PCs. Computer A can see them on its own drive, and on computer B via UNC. Computer B can see them on its own drive, but not
on computer A via UNC. The cause: computer B didn't have permissions on these 2 files on computer A. I was starting the UNC directly from File Explorer, and, in my case, this uses HomeUsers for permissions (over my home network). So, on computer A, I gave
permissions on these 2 files to the user HomeUsers and that fixed the problem. I will also create a more general solution using inherited permissions.
Specifically, I selected the file and chose properties/security/advanced/add/select a principal, then typed HomeUsers "Check Names", OK, and selected the desired permissions. This fits your situation: the files are being created automatically and
don't have the correct permissions for the other PC to see them. Inherited permissions should fix it.

Why can't I make my Segate expansion drive a network drive with my Airport extreme

Please explain in simple terms. I'm trying to make a media server and connect it to my PS3

I'm not clearly understanding what the issue is. You have your Seagate drive connected to Airport Extreme via USB? Do you have any computers that can connect to the network drive?

Why can i get a connection w/my wireless laptop with this router (WRT54GS ) but not on the desktop?

I have an excellent signal w/this laptop (wireless) but when I try to use the desktop with the same router it wont go. Do I need driver download? Do I need an IP address for the router? I use tech support for connecting the desktop to the internet straight from the modem they sent me but because I didnot buy the router from them, they wont help me figure out once I plug in the router and setup more than one machine, i cant do it. Initailly, I setup everything w/my laptop being the main computer in my home until I got this desktop recently. So knowing the desktop is fine because it works straight from the modem, and the laptop works w/the router and modem hooked up together but not the desktop, what the HECK is the problem? I dont have any cd or anything w/this router because when I moved, i never found the box it came in again. Is there someplace online I can find what I need? Im wondering how I will know if I have a response from someone on this thread? will I get an email from this site? gosh Im confused.
(Mod Note: Email address removed.)

How you are trying to use the desktop...wired or wireless?
If you are trying to connect the computer to the router via an Ethernet cable then,try changing the cable.Check the ip address you are getting on the computer...
Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...
IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 (assuming your router is 192.168.1.1)...
If you get the above mentioned IP Address, Subnet and Gateway Address then you should ping the Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...If it gives you request timed out then disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer...
If you get 4 replies then type ping 4.2.2.2 and press Enter, if you get request timed out, then you need to upgrade your router's firmware...If you get 4 replies then type ping yahoo.com and press Enter...If you get replies for Yahoo then you should get the Internet after adjusting the browser settings...
Adjusting Browser Settings : Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on OK...Close the IE and re-open it...
If yahoo times out then provide static DNS on your LAN Connection...
Click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>>Network Connections- Right click on the icon for Local Area Connection and go to properties- On the 'General' tab select 'Internet Protocol TCP/IP' and click on the Properties button- Select 'Use the Following DNS Settings' Preferred DNS 4.2.2.2 Alternate DNS - 192.168.1.1>>Click on Ok button to Save and Click on "Close" on main Properties window...You should be able to go online...

Why can't others log-in to my Airport Express network?

My network is a wpa2 personal. Could this be the issue? I can connect my computer to the network, but no one else can. I changed my password, just in case I got it wrong, but that still doesn't work.

WPA2 Personal is the latest and most secure setting for security. If others have older devices, say 2-3 years or more, they may not have the ability to connect to your network.
You can try lowering the security a notch to WPA/WPA2 Personal to see if that will help. You can keep the same password.
