Wireless not working - can't locate servers on more than one network

I am having a really strange problem with my wireless on my iBook that I'm hoping someone out there has had before, or has ideas for fixing.
This began a few days ago. My computer could get on wireless networks, but when I tried to use my web browser, it couldn't locate any servers. I at first suspected it was the network that I was using that was the problem, but I've since gone to several cafes and my university to try to use their internet. I get this problem about 50% of the time, despite the fact that others are using the same networks with no problems. Sometimes a network will work on and off (ie it will work fine at first, then not be able to locate servers) and sometimes they never work at all.
I'm wondering if there's any kind of reinstallation or resetting of settings that I can do short of reinstalling OS X (or if a reinstall would even work). Does anyone have a suggestion for me? Again, I have already determined that it's not the networks I'm using that are the problem (and I don't have my own internet, and can't go fiddling with router settings at the cafes around me!).
iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

JerryMc, Welcome to the discussion area!
Is the AirPort Express (AX) the only router you have? If so, you need to make sure that it is configured to "share a single IP address".

  • ITunes 8.1 Can't Seem to do More Than One Thing at a Time

    I upgraded to 8.1 and now, rather than a "faster" iTunes experience as was advertised on Apple's website, iTunes can't seem to do more than one thing at a time without locking up the application completely. For instance, when trying to download podcasts if I choose to hit more than one "Get" button at a time iTunes will freeze up until the first podcast has completely downloaded. During this time I cannot access any other screen in iTunes at all.
    This freezing of iTunes also occurred while I was trying to sync my iPhone 3G. I received the Calendar sync error that a few other people have mentioned on the forum and wanted to turn off Calendar sync (since I don't use it and don't understand why iTunes turned it on by default, apparently, after the upgrade) but I had to wait for my iPhone 3G to completely sync before I could gain access to any of the tabs in the iPhone sync window.
    So, basically it seems like the new version of iTunes (8.1) really doesn't like to be bothered while it is trying to copy data from one place to another.
    Any ideas?

    I'm using Vista Ultimate 64-bit and iTunes 8.1 installed OK, but required a restart of the entire OS after upgrading. It takes forever to launch, clicking on certain items (like applications) causes itunes to freeze for about 15-30 seconds before it continues (this is actually something that's been there since the introduction of the app store), I've had to switch my library view to LIST and avoid any sort of album art. Using album art to view my library causes iTunes to be extremely, obnoxiously unresponsive.
    The best part - plugging in my iPhone to sync it... iTunes simply sits there dumbly - doesn't even recognize that I've plugged my iPhone in. So now I can't even sync. QUALITY product, quality. So the app I'm FORCED to use to manage my phone doesn't even work after upgrading. Outstanding.
    I'm terrified of uninstalling and reinstalling... the last time I did that with iTunes it jacked my library up... it "lost" all of my music... basically it disassociated all of the music (even the stuff purchased through the itunes store) with the index file so I had to re-import EVERY song and delete the duplicate entry.
    I searched a ton of forums looking for any clues as to how I could improve performance... All I run into is apple fan boys flaming any and all forums to the point of PC *****, no Apple *****, and so forth. Extremely unhelpful.
    The fact is this - if I wasn't forced to use iTunes to manage my non-jailbroken iPhone 3G, then I'd dump it completely. It is a horrible app. Why punish the customers that haven't gone the route of "jail breaking" their iPhones?
    One individual on one of the forums suggested that blue screens, and all the other random errors, including slow performance were due to a lack of RAM. I have 4GB of RAM on my machine I can run a virtual Fedora core 9 machine and a virtual WinXP machine on my Vista x64 box and still not have any performance issues with those two virtuals in the background sucking up system resources, yet with nothing open and less than 50% of my 4GB of RAM in use iTunes performance is abysmal. I have not run into any other application on my Vista machine that performs as badly as iTunes.
    And Apple is touting a "64-bit" version of iTunes - it isn't. The applications the 64-bit installer installs are all 32-bit.
    So, I'm searching as the two of you are for an answer to horrible performance of iTunes.
    Even exiting out of iTunes takes a day and a half... "saving itunes library".... And my "library" isn't that big.

  • Can printer connect to more than one network?

    Hello.
    I just bought the wireless HP deskjet 3050 printer. I've connected it to the internet (network) and it's working perfectly. Is it possible to connect to more than one network? We have more than one internet line in the house so I was wondering if I can set it up for both lines. I understand that I can print with multiple computers on the same network (and I am able to do so), but how about on different networks?
    Thanks.

    No, it only has one network connection device so can only connect to one at time, sorry.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

    Hi Gurus,
    Can i create report using more than one Business Area?.Could anybody tell me that report will work?.

    You should have no problem creating a report using more than one Business Area, we share folders across BAs all the time for ease of management. As long as your joins exist its not a problem.

  • Can the AirPort Extreme support more than one printer at a time?

    can the AirPort Extreme support more than one USB printer at a time if it is connected to a USB Hub?

    can the AirPort Extreme support more than one USB printer at a time if it is connected to a USB Hub?
    Yes.....IF.....you use a powered USB hub.
    I have had 3 printers connected at the same time in the past and assume that more would work as long you have a powered hub to support the number of ports that you need.

  • HT204291 Can you send music to more than one airplay enabled speaker at the same time

    I have just purchased an airplay enabled speaker which is great, I would like another in the kitchen so as you move from room to room you can listen to the same music but I am not sure if you can play the music through more than one speaker at a time ?

    iOS devices and Apple TV's will only send the audio to one Airplay speaker at a time. However, iTunes on a computer will send audio to multiple Airplay speakers. With the help of Home Sharing and Apple's free Remote app on an iOS device you can control iTunes as well as the speakers connected to it.

  • Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File - Export - Album name with number).

    Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File -> Export -> Album name with number).
    Exporting a single Event retains the Event name which is what I'd expect. But highlighting more than one event and exporting it renames the images to Events 001.JPG, Event 002.JPG etc.
    I was recently on holidays and had all my events nicely split on Dad's computer but when I went to export it I couldn't retain any of this information. Now I have to replicate this all again on my computer.
    It wasn't possible to export the entire library as the external drive was fat32 format an I didn't want all of it. It would be nice to export a bunch of events to someone and have it retain the name.
    Does anyone have a work around or will this be fixed at some point by Apple?

  • Can I watch ATV on more than one tv in the house?

    Can I watch ATV on more than one tv in the house?

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
    Can I watch ATV on more than one tv in the house?
    Not without additional hardware.
    Simply sharing the output from a single Apple tv would require you to split and amplify the signal, but bear in mind that long cables may well cause problems when it comes to watching video from any source.
    You could also consider a multiplexer which would take inputs from a number of devices (Apple tv. DVD player etc etc) an distribute them to a number of tv's/display units.

  • Can I pair and use more than one set of bluetooth speakers at the same time on my ipod touch 4.0

    can I pair and use more than one set of bluetooth speakers at the same time on my ipod touch 4.0 or Iphone 4s or Ipad 2?

    You can only connect to one device at a time using Bluetooth, See article below for more information.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1664
    While your iOS device can maintain multiple pairing records, it can only connect to one headset or hands-free device at a time. This prevents your iOS device from sending your data to the wrong Bluetooth accessory.
