Will upgrading my OS fix the following problem...

The problem: I want to log into a WPA2-encrypted wireless network. I have a 1ghz G4 powerbook with an older airport card that runs at B speeds only, which is fine. Speed isn't the issue. It's the WPA2 that's an issue. I'm running 10.3.9 and will happily upgrade to whatever the next version is that's coming out soon if I can expect WPA2 support.
My husband is running 10.4.something and he is able to use our WPA2-encrypted network, but he's got a newer powerbook with a newer airport card, so I don't know if it's the hardware or the software that matters.

I was hoping to avoid buying a newer card because I don't want anything in the pcmcia slot. If I could upgrade the airport card itself, that would be fine, but I don't think I can.
It's sad, really. This is the one and only thing that's starting to become a problem with this powerbook. I have no need to upgrade the machine in any other way. It works and satisfies my needs perfectly fine in every other way except that I really want WPA2/AES. Does anyone know of any third party software that could do what I want? I didn't think this would be hardware dependent as I was recently able to flash a bridge so that it would support WPA2 (although I think it was originally able to support WPA, if that matters at all).
If I have to buy an expansion card, then I will, but if I can go with a software solution, I would much prefer that.

  • Anyone know when Apple will bring out a patch to fix the volume problem you get on mac mini after downloading OS 10.8.5

    Anyone know when Apple will bring out a patch to fix the volume problem you get on mac mini after downloading OS 10.8.5?

    Only Apple knows the answer to whether or not there is a verified problem and if so when will a fix be released.  As is their custom, Apple does not talk about these things and the rules of these communities prohibit speculation about future udates or upgrades. It is probably safe to say if a fix is deemed necessary it will be called OS X 10.8.6.

  • Has anyone fixed the following droid razr problems:

    Has anyone fixed the following droid razr problems: 1. the phone won't let me answer calls, if the answering screen shows up it takes 5 rings;   2.It takes about 4 attempts to end a call, half the time I have to wait for them to hang up;   3. GPS will stop and freeze;    4. phone freezes doing simple tasks;    5. It won't flip through easily; 6. slow (deleted texts and photos and still slow); 7.deleted apps still show on phone; 8. battery life is about 3 hours if used constantly; 9. some people cannot call me; 10. typed text takes a very long time to appear on the phone.

    Try this:

  • Will a new computer fix the problem?

    I currently have a Windows XP system from appx 2004 with PSE 3.0 on it. PSE 3.0 is no longer responding when I try to open the browser or editor or anything! the computer seems to be having other issues as well so I think its time to upgrade to a newer computer. When I last backed up my photos (44,000+) to an external drive, the PSE 3.0 was working fine.    If I get a new computer and install PSE 3.0 on the new computer and use my backup to load all my photos to the new computer..   will the PSE 3.0 load with all of the original tags from the photo browser?

    I have never performed a backup with video files, as I don't have any.
    Nevertheless, based on the way the PSE Organizer works, I am relatively certain that the tags for videos are included in the backup (as well as the tags for photos). I'm also relatively certain that both photos and videos are included in the backup. (Note: I am referring to backups made via the Organizer command File->Backup Catalog)
    But the only way to know for sure is to cross your fingers and try it.
    Best to start a new thread since your question has nothing to do with the original topic (will a new computer fix the problem)

    I am having the same problem.  I have a 2nd generation ipad wi-fi only.  All was working great until I upgraded.  NONE of my downloaded magazines or rss-feeds are accessible.    For the magazines, their icons show up on the "shelves" but once you click on one it wont even take you to the "issues" i have downloaded.  it jumps back to the shelf page.

    You need to have a different Apple ID for each of the other devices.

  • Just wondered if anyone else is experiencing the following problem and knows a solution. I know a few friends who are also having the issue so its obviously something wrong with IOS7.   Basically I have an iphone 4 and upgraded to v7 and most recently v7.

    Just wondered if anyone else is experiencing the following problem and knows a solution. I know a few friends who are also having the issue so its obviously something wrong with IOS7.
    Basically I have an iphone 4 and upgraded to v7 and most recently v7.0.2. When I am on calls the phone started to beep and vibrate and sometimes change the call to speaker. It seems to be that the screen is sometimes active whilst on calls and so my ear is actually pressing the buttons and hitting numbers or changing it to speaker phone. It has also cancelled a call a few times.
    This is extremely annoying and makes every call a worry.
    Any ideas of how to solve this problem?

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

What are you guys doing about this? At least provide some information on whether you have even taken notice to this problem or not! There won't be a point of a fix once the hard-disk is gone because of all the hard resets.

    It's not just HP,  but Dell too.   Suggest switching the power options settings to "never" and always shutting down Windows before closing the lid.  PITA,  but avoids all those 'hard stops' doing any damage. I've partly fixed the issue on my machine by updating all the drivers to very latest,  shutting down and rebooting,  then shutting down,  removing the battery pack,  holding down the power button for at least 30 seconds,  then replacing the battery and booting up as usual.   So far,  this has fixed the "sleep" problem,  but HIbernate is still not working.     I've a Dell machine,  but a lot of the Hardware is common to the HP laptops - Intel Video etc. Steve

  • When will apple fix the bending problem with iPhone 6 and 6 ?

    Does anybody know when new batches of the iphone 6 and 6 plus ,without the bending problem (bendgate), will be released ? I wanted to buy the iphone 6 but id rather wait till they fix the bending problem.

    I would like to calmly and rationally talk for a moment. On the internet and with people so invested in a company's products that can be hard to do. I find it very irritating reading people saying it is a hoax while I'm sitting here with a bent plus myself. First off, most people don't take major mainstream news companies seriously anymore. So CNNMoney isn't where anyone needs to be researching. However there are multiple other people who demonstrate this problem. So check YouTube and remember you'll find what you search for. So, if you search for iPhone 6 plus doesn't bend you'll find videos of people trying to prove it doesn't bend. It is getting ridiculous, XBOX VS PLAYSTATION, Creationists vs Evolutionists, iPhone vs Android. Seriously, I have a friend with an HTC One M8 and another friend who just got the regular iPhone 6. I told the guys about the reasoning behind the bend. "All aluminum bodied phones do it" my iPhone friends says yep that's true and my HTC friend comes over and asks me to bend his phone. I said no at first because i was afraid i might actually break it... He never put a case on his phone btw... He talked me into it and I couldn't bend it at my full force i barely saw it arch. After much more research I found out why that might be. THE ONE THING APPLE KEEPS PUTTING OFF. The screen on high end Android devices is Gorilla glass very hard to break and hard to bend. Maybe it is time I go back to Android. Logically they have better phones when you don't think about if its Apple or Android. Well I am sure I will get hate messages and grammer corrections and really intelligent comebacks but I don't care honestly.

    Prove you have a bent Plus.  Post a picture, but be advised, I work for a technology company and if you post a picture of a bent phone that can be easily found through Google, I'll report you.

  • 3.1.2 "upgrade", is EVERYone having the same problem?

    So is every single person who has upgraded their OS had the same problems?
    Mainly:
    1. WiFi connectivity
    2. Pressing the home button twice does not open up the music menu anymore.
    3. Apps crashing constantly.
    I would appriciate any feedback on these and insight to any additional problems, thanks!!
    I have the 2.2.1 version still...

    I have not upgraded yet, I'm hoping to get some answers before I do so I can avoid these issues. I have just read other posts and picked out what seems to be reoccuring problems.
    As to the double tapping of the home button to bring up the music menu, it seems this cannot be fixed? It has been addressed in this thread...

    I'm sure that feature may seem trivial, but I enjoy the convenience!

  • How to fix the delay problem while recording? Can't set the Latency to 0. Win7, CS6,Realtek,C03u Mic

    I am using Win7, with CS6, Realtek soundcard and Samson C03U microphone.
    There is a problem that's really been bothering me. When I record songs the recorded audio always comes 0.1 seconds after where it's supposed to be and I need to fix the problem every time. How to fix the delay problem while recording? I can't set the Latency to zero. The minimum is 30ms and I still get an obvious delay.
    I saw some previous discussions saying that installing ASIO would help. Is it gonna work on my PC?
    Thank you in advance guys.

    You probably should look at a more 'serious' audio interface rather than the Realtek
    Yes ASIO drivers are the way to go
    If you want zero latency you need to monitor via your audio hardware (hence the 'serious' audio interface suggestion)
    There are a heap of reasonable audio interfaces which will do the job for you that are pretty inexpensive and I'm sure that someone will jump in with a suggestion

Maybe you are looking for
