Wireless Connection Trouble - Apple Card Installed

Hello:
I recently installed a 60gb hard drive on this laptop. I reinstalled my Panther OS and upgraded to 10.3.9 .
I have verified and repaired my permissions.
I am not able to connect to the internet via my apple wireless card. I am using an sbc modem with a d-link wireless router. I know this is working because my other ibook and dell are all able to connect via this wireless network.
When I try to connect using either Safari or IE, I get... "servers can not be found"... blank browser window with no address in the bar.
I tried to go to the network "button" ... I get "preferences error... can not load network"
I am able to access my internet connect. It shows my connection to dlink with a strong signal...
I am able to go to the apple menu and pull up location... It is set to automatic... When I click on network preferences, then I get the same error message: "preferences error... can not load the network"
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get my wireless up and running again?
With Appreciation,
Stearns

Chances are when you re-installed it installed everything but the settings go to either browser and click on the Safari Icon then click on the Preferences tab and under General you will need to type in the page you want to load when you click on Safari.
Remember IE is no longer supported for Mac I suggest if you need it try Mozzila or Firefox, Opera etc. IE is fine for OS 9 but I would even change that browser as well.
see if that helps

Can you use Iphone hotspot to wirelessly connect to apple TV

Can you use Iphone hotspot to wirelessly connect to apple TV. ie I have no router but am interested in playing music from phone to apple TV.

Yes in theory, though do check your phone contract small print and keep an eye on your data usage - in theory local data sent across the LAN created by the hotspot should not use 3G data but some carriers seem to treat it as internet data usage.

Wireless connection not working after installed newest Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update programs

Hi, everyone!
I've installed some newest programs through Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update and just after that my wireless connection has stopped working. Here are the installed programs:
ThinkPad UltraNav Driver for Windows 32-bit version 15.0.24.0;
ThinkPad Power Management Driver version 1.60;
ThinkPad Modem Adapter version 7.80.8.0;
ThinkPad Hotkey Features Integration Package Setup version 3.11.0001;
Inter Wireless WiFi Link for Window XP version 13.02.0000;
ThinkVantage Access Connections for Windows XP version 5.62;
ThinkPad Power Manager version 1.88;
Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox (32-bit) version 6.0.5514.61.
I've got a Lenovo T61 with Windows XP SP3.
Also in Device Manager, there are now the two "Other devices" bellow with a yellow question point and a yellow exclamation point by side:
Bluetooth Hands-free Audio;
Bluetooth LAN Access Server Driver.
Does anyone have any idea what can be done to have these issues solved?
P.S.: when I click Fn+F5 it shows only the Bluetooth Radio.

Hello and welcome,
I've seen something like this on XP machines after updates a couple of times now - my T61, a friend's T400, and his daughter's T61. I guess that makes 3
_Maybe_ your situation is the same.
The fix in all 3 cases was to go to device manager and uninstall the wifi driver. Then scan for hardware changes and let it reinstall the driver. Something about how Access Connections or some other networking mangement thingy was hooking the drivers I guess.
On both of the friend's machines, the wired networking was also b0rked. Same fix there.

Dropping wireless connection with Apple Wireless Keyboard

I've got a new bluetooth chip in my iMac from support at my location, a new wireless keyboard and I'm still having issues. Wireless connection dropped 6 times typing this one sentence. Aaargh. I've been busy with this ever since I bought the computer. On irregular intervals (absolutely no regularity whatsoever) the computer loses connection with my Apple Wireless Keyboard. So if I have a new iMac, with a new bluetooth chip and a new keyboard how come this issue is still an issue? It's driving me mad. And possibly the guys at the centre as well.

Hi mvoltage
Do you have any appliances with motors or other mobil telephone devices setup near the iMac?
Both motor flux fields and Cordless Phone Base Stations can and will interfere with the operation of the iMac's wifi and airport signals.

My Mac won't allow wireless connection to Apple TV or my printer

Not sure what has happened, but I first thought that I had an issue with iTunes as it wouldn't wirlessly connect with any of my Apple devices - iPhone, iPad or Apple TV.
Now, my wireless printer won't connect with my iMac but does with my phone and iPad so now thinking the issue is with my iMac.
Any thoughts/ideas on how to fix?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

ISE 1.3 laptop wireless connection issue & apple devices

hi all,
i am configuring ISE 1.3 with wireless lan controller 2504 with 7.4.121 version.
i am using EAP-tls method of authentication . my certificate server everything working fine. i have one issue which is that i am trying to connect from my laptop i am getting the following error
"The server "ISE.example.local" presented a valid certificate issued by "DC-CA", but "DC-CA" is not configured as a valid trust anchor for this profile. Further, the server "ISE.example.local" is not configured as a valid NPS server to connect to for this profile"
but still i am able to connect and my profiling is working fine, but other laptops when i try to connect i am not getting any this kind of error . it directly says connection cannot connect.
is this problem of certificate on the ISE or the laptop issue , the laptops are not in domain.
even in the apple devices also when we put AD authentication it is accepting after that when we open the browser it is not going to the guest portal it saying some apple captiva portal some thing like that.
please let me know anybody faced this issue?? what is the cause and solution.

Dear, Freerk.
Thank you for your information.
I'd like to try captive bypass function then look at the traffic flow to understand very well, however, it looks like required reboot the controller.
ours is not able to do rebooting process so that, only the choice will be I must search testing result by my self... if you have a result from your lab, could you share with me?
Result message after enable captive bypassing configuration.
(Cisco Controller) config>network web-auth captive-bypass enable
Web-auth support for Captive-Bypass will be enabled.
You must reset system for this setting to take effect.

Mac: Officejet 6500 e710n wireless connectivity troubles

Printer: HP Officejet 6500 e710n-z
Mac OSX Lion 10.7.5
I've successfully been printing wirlessly with my Offiject 6500 e710n for over a year. Connectivity comes and goes but I've always been able to reconnect them by either rebooting the printer or reconnecting them via the IP address of the printer.
However it's no longer working. I've tried uninstalling the printer drivers and reinstalling and now the printer cannot be located wirelessly on the network at all (despite the fact the printer's wireless report says all connections fine). I've tried the following:
- manually add printer using the IPv4 address --> says device not found
- type printer's IP address into my web browser -->says failed to connect as the server is not responding
- connect via usb to printer --> recognises printer, sets up the wireless network, says disconnect and then it disappears again and says device not found
I'm starting to run out of ideas... Any suggestions to help me reconfigure/ re-install my printer so it works again would be greatly appreciated!
This question was solved.

Resolved the issue - disconnected power source to both router and printer for 60 seconds then restarted the devices and it seemed to fix things

Error while wirelessly connecting Photosmart C5280 to Apple Macbook

I have a Photosmart C5280 All-in-One connected to my PC computer. While trying to wirelessly connect my Apple Macbook to the printer this error occured: Cannot Connect to the Printer Using the Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit Connection Manager in an Infrastructure Network
How do I fix this?

No - it won't work - AppleTV gets it's data via iTunes.
iTunes fetches data from wherever it is be it attached/internal/network drive, then relays it across the network to AppleTV.
Being able to access an iTunes style library on a NAS or similar would be great in principle but it's not possible in practice.

Wireless connections drops after AirPort Extreme 2007-001 Update

Hello, I am getting a lot of wireless connection drops since I installed the AirPort Extreme 2007-001 Update. Anyone has similar issue? Any fix?

Well, I was conneting to the University's wireless server (which is maintained and huge) flawlessly prior to the update. My friend has a macbook pro and didn't apply the update and he has no problem. I installed the update and since then I'm having a hard time connecting to ANY wireless server/router.
I came across the following, looks like a lot of other persons are having the same issue:

http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20070126190822382
Looks like my solution would be to perform an Archive & Install and to not reinstall the AE 2007-001 update.

Open BO report via wireless connection Blackberry

Dear All,
does anyone knows about how to open BO report in BB via wireless connection. is it need installed BO Mobile XI? or what is the best way to open BO report with Blackberry.
Please Help.
Thnaks so much

You know that is weird.... when the AppleTV is wireless and the Mac Book is wireless then iTunes can see it! So I guess it must be how the router is treating the two (wired and wireless) as two separate networks some how.
I will go with this as for some strange reason accessing iTunes Store is faster via wireless on the AppleTV than it was when wired.
Still would like to know why it is doing that... something to research.
Oh and the router is a DLink DVA-G3810BN
Cheers,
Chris

HT4628 After installing the new OS from apple (10.8.2) my macbook pro keeps disconnecting from the internet. I am connecting with an Airport Extreme and while it shows I am connected, every 20-45 seconds its searching for a wireless connection. Any sugg

I guess I posted my question as a title but that is my issue. My airport is connected via wireless yet it keeps searching for a wireless connection, hence I am experiencing bad latency and disconnection issues. Anyone know a solution?

I have the same problem. And in my case it happens when i transfer "large" files over the WiFi. When i send an MP3 filer over Skype i loose connection. When i transfer updates between my iPhone 5 / iPad 3 and iMac with Mountain Lion i loose connection. When i have a video conference i loose connection. You get the idea.
There is usually like 30 people using their own router on the 2.4 GHz band near by. None on the 5 GHz band which i use. But when my WiFi freezes on ML i can only see my own router. And i am also connected to it. But all my neighbors WiFi routers are now invisble to me. My network stalled.
What i do is that i disconnect my WiFi and then reconnect it again. Thank fixes it. But all my transfers and what not has been dropped. And i have to start all over - and the WiFi will stall again.
While my WiFi is frozen on the iMac with ML i have no problem using the same router on the same 5 GHz band with my iPhone 5 or iPad 3.
Downgrading the AirPort Extreme to 7.6.1 from 7.6.3 helped a bit. Now i only loose connection a few times each day.
It is a software error in ML i am sure of. A driver maybe. But i am suspecting that it is either a speed-sync error or an energy saving error. Like the network card turns of in the middle of a file transfer to save enrgy - maybe.
When i stream movies from my iMac to my Apple TV or 3 there is no problem at all. It is so odd.

MY wireless mouse keeps quitting. It quits I get 'connection lost'. It starts up i get 'connected'. I've installed new batteries, same problem. Do I need new rechargeable batteries from the Apple store?

My mouse works intermittenly. It quits, I get an on screen message,"connection lost". It starts up again, I get "connected". i've installed fresh AA batteries in the the mouse to no avail. Do I need to go to the Apple store and get some new rechargeable batteries?

Anything in this thread that might help - Woyin's contribution at the end is worth a look:

Trouble with wireless switch (rfkill) and wireless connectivity.

Hello, this is my first message in this community so please bare with me if this message should be in the newbie part; but I think it's better fitted here. Other than that, I'm glad to be here .
After quite some time in Fedora I'm coming to Arch and I must say I'm delighted, so I wanted to use it in my laptop too which was running an old version of Fedora.
The laptop is an Airis N930 (about 5 years old) with a RaLink RT2500 wireless adapter which worked well in Fedora 11 but I'm having some trouble getting it to work in Arch. The problem is that the connectivity switch in this laptop is kind of a software one: in Windows it's compulsory to have a program which came in the drivers disk so that when that button is pressed (think of it as another key in the keyboard) the wireless connectivity is turned on and the indicator led lights up.
For a Linux based system there's no such program (I think) but the behaviour seems to be different in newer and older systems (I've tried Fedora and Ubuntu recent live environments and the behaviour is the same as in Arch). In Fedora 11 it just works everything's unblocked by default, in Arch the hardware block seems to be on and I don't know of any way to unblock it:
root@laptop ~ $ ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
root@laptop ~ $ rfkill list
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
root@laptop ~ $ rfkill event unblock phy0
1298671843.804446: idx 0 type 1 op 0 soft 0 hard 1
Pressing the wireless connectivity button doesn't produce any event... Does anyone know what can I try or how to remove the hard block? Could it be related to newer kernels?
Thank you very much for your time, any fixes, workarounds or ideas are welcomed.

Thank you for your tips lamegaptop. I already have linux-firmware installed and I'm using the supported kernel module for the card (it's a PCI one):
06:01.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2500 802.11g (rev 01)
Loaded modules for it:
rt2500pci 12420 0
rt2x00pci 3890 1 rt2500pci
rt2x00lib 24866 2 rt2500pci,rt2x00pci
mac80211 178404 2 rt2x00pci,rt2x00lib
cfg80211 120337 2 rt2x00lib,mac80211
eeprom_93cx6 1004 1 rt2500pci
Rfkill is installed too, the output I posted in the first post belongs to the commands I entered in the Arch system. In Fedora rfkill always reports both blocks to be off.
As the Fedora system is running a 2.6.30.10 kernel I tried to run some tests using the LTS kernel (it's a 2.6.32.X right now) in the Archboot live environment, the output of "rfkill list" changed as seen below:
$ rfkill list
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
$ rfkill iwconfig

This behaviour was the same when running the default Arch kernel in Archboot. I'm thinking in extracting the kernel configuration from the Fedora kernel and use it to build a new one and see if it helps, although I'm not sure where the problem may be.

Creating a wireless connection on a Mac Pro with no airport card.

Hello
Forgive me if this has already been discussed but I am looking at all options to add wireless function to a mac pro with OS10.4 that does not currently have an airport card installed. My options so far are to either purchase a airport card, purchase a USB wireless dongle i.e.: D-Link DWA-140 (for which I am having trouble finding something that is compatible) or possibly using a airport express. The objective is to use it for presentations for lectures as I am using keynote and would very much like to use the keynote remote from my iPod touch (later with a iPad) so I can control my presentation wirelessly.
My question is this, will I be able to use an airport express, connect it via ethernet to the mac pro and create the wireless connection with my iPod touch? Will I require a wireless router? Or can anyone suggest an easy way to wireless control a keynote presentation with a non wireless mac.
Thank you so much.
Dave

This is not an exact answer to your question, but we had cable installed today (Virgin Media, UK) and the router is too far for my MacPro tower to connect. The engineer gave me a wireless dongle (the D-Link DWA-140) and said it would do the trick. After a few hours of searching online, I cannot make the dongle connect to the router, so I would recommend that you avoid this option for a MacPro. It may be possible to connect it but I'm certainly not finding it straightforward.
