WPA/WPA2 Powerbook G4 can't connect to dome Airport Extreme

Hi,
My Security settings are now set to WPA/WPA2 Personal on my dome Airport Extreme.
The only computer that can't connect to it is my 15" Powerbook G4. It shows the airport at the top, but only gives me the option of running WPA. I am running OS 10.4.11, because I need to keep classic on one computer!
I do not have the option of setting my airport to just WPA
From what I've read in this forum, I'm just not sure if I will be able to connect wirelessly with this computer.
Any help or advise out there?
Thanks!!

Oh geez, I can't even post to the right forum. Apologies!

  • Can't connect ipad to airport extreme

    Can't connect ipad to airport extreme after internet provider reset modem. Works fine only with MacBook Pro.

    Have you tried resetting your network settings?
    Try "forgetting" that network. Tap Settings > Wi-Fi, tap the chevron next to your wireless network name and then "forget this network".
    Tap it again to choose it.
    If that does not work... then try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    You will need to enter your networks passwords again, after which they will be remembered.
    To see available networks go to Settings > Wi-Fi. Available networks are shown under Choose a Network...

  • We have an old titanium PowerBook that will not connect to our AirPort Extreme network. What gives.

    We have an old titanium PowerBook that will easily connect to any WiFi cafe or hotel network, but will not connect to our AirPort Extreme network. What gives.
    When the Apple Tec. installed our network for our 3 iMAXs, he couldn't it to connect either. Of course our two iPads have no trouble connecting.
    We are also having trouble getting it to upgrade from OS 10.5.8 to 10.6, even though I have a Snow Leopard up date family pack.

    What is your Wireless Security setting on the network?  Since you are running Leopard, I may not have the desired answer, but some of the Airport-equipped laptops, like the TiBooks, are said not to support all of the settings.  I have an AE network which supports b and g, with "WPA2 Personal" settings and the TiBooks connect with that one OK with 811.b Airport.
    Oh, and no way to upgrade beyond 10.5.8 Leopard for PPC machines like the Titanium G4 Powerbooks, as 10.6 and above require Intel processors.
    EDIT: I didn't notice this, but the TiBooks may be connecting with WPA encryption on my network, as I have the following display on my settings:

  • Windows 7 laptop can't connect to new Airport Extreme.

    I had a NetGear router, but got fed up of not being able to use all of my devices, so I bought the AirPort Extreme and use the NetGear as a modem (wireless turned off). Our iPads, iPhones, Macbook, Windows Vista laptop and desktop all connect fine, but I can't get the Windows 7 laptop to connect, even by ethernet.
    It has connected but drops the connection intermittently and then sometimes it fails to get a connection at all. It can see the AirPort, but says it can't connect. This happens paticulalry if the laptp has been left to hibernate.
    I have installed the AirPort utility and I have turned off the power option that turns off the wireless card. I have done all of the Windows updates, and I have updated the drivers from the manufacturer website.
    Any ideas? (Don't say use the Mac, this is my sister's computer, not mine!!)
    Thanks.

    Thanks for clarifying. If you don't mind, let's double-check your extended-network setup configuration:
    o Open AirPort Utility and select the Time Capsule (TC), and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
    o Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then, click Wireless.
    o Verify that both “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu and “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox are selected.
    o Next, select the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
    o Verify that “Extend a wireless network” has been selected from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu. Also verify that the correct Network Name is shown for the network you want the AEBSn to extend.
    Do your settings match these?

  • Airport can't connect to my Airport Extreme Base Station

    Hi all,
    Just had this nagging problem for a couple of days. I can connect and see my aebs in airport utility but can't connect it to network in the airport menu. The network is fine and is working on my macbook, but the macbook pro can't see it. Both laptops are using 10.5.4 any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello paisleymum. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    You shouldn't have had to reconfigure the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) just because you have a new MacBook. Was there a particular reason that you needed to?

  • Can i connect a new airport extreme wirelessly to an existing airport extreme to extend range? if so, how?

    My mother has an airport extreme hardwired to a modem for wireless connection in her home.  she is trying to get a wireless connection in her shop, about 250 away and i was wondering if i can use another airport extreme wirelessly to connect to the wired extreme to extend the range

    And, by clear line of sight Bob means nothing between the two but air space. Windows, walls, trees, bushes, etc. all act to attenuate the signal substantially, thus reducing the effective range.
    If you are willing to spend lots of money you can purchase amplifiers that can extend the range. Check this out at QuickerTek.com.

  • Can I connect use 2 airport extremes in an in home network, each at a different ethernet access point?

    Can I use 2 airport extremes in the same in home network, each at a different ethernet drop point?

    Hi - without knowing anything else about the network and assuming that you mean that they are connected via ethernet to the main router, the answer is yes - they would be configured in bridge mode to "Create a Wireless Network" (because they are hardwired) with the same name and password as the home network.

  • Can I connect my new AirPort Extreme to a PC as the hub instead of a MAC?

    Hi,
    I bought a new 27" iMac today and an AirPort Extreme.  However, my husband and I want to connect the AirPort Extreme to our cable modem and our PC laptop as the "hub," and then wirelessly link my iMac, my iPhone, my iPad, and our Apple TV to it.  This is because of where our cable jack is located. 
    Is this possible?  It seems not to be working when hooked to the PC?? 
    Cab nan anyone help me?

    Basically it is going to not be possible..
    If you want to run the Airport Extreme a long distance from the cable modem.. then either buy an express and plug that in to the cable modem and wireless extend that to the TC..
    Or buy a set of EOP adapters and use that in place of ethernet.. which is the one and only "RIGHT" way to do it.

  • Can't Setup WDS with Airport Extreme "N" and Airport Extreme "G" & Express

    Hi!
    I'm trying my best and have done this stuff with the last model Airport Extreme "G" models, but cannot get my new "N" model to setup WDS. I log in to the new Airport and start configuring, it gives me the option to setup WDS, but it doesn't detect the Airport Extreme "G" model nor the Airport Express I have. The only way I can get them to be recognized is to configure them all identically with the same network name, password, etc. and have each hard-wired into an ethernet plug. Sort of defeats the point of going wireless. In the new Airport Utility, how do I get it to recognize the remote base stations? In the old Tiger Airport Utility, it used to configure the other airports for you. The Leopard one doesn't seem to do that. Any help?
    Thanks in advance!

    OK-so after more than a month of having to put up with my Airport Utility popping up whenever I started my computer or came home and joined the network, I finally had the time to sit on hold with Apple and work with a Network Specialist--had to get the ticket "Escalated" first. What the problem turned out being was I set up the Extreme "N" o use WEP (Transitional Security Network) because I occasionally have friends with older PCs coming by that need old WEP instead of WPA. The net specialist helped me walk through the whole setup (from scratch) with the Extreme "N" as my main base station (like I wanted) setup using WPA/WPA2 Personal for password encryption. The older Airport Extreme "G" and the Airport Express do NOT support the WEP (TSN) mode, so they couldn't join the network properly--thus the constant error from the Extreme "N" that no WDS base stations could be found.
    Hope this info helps people in the future! I haven't seen anything around that says Extreme "G" and Express don't support this newer Transitional mode. Even the ever-so-helpful Apple Tech didn't know why that new Transitional mode was invented.
    Thanks for the reply, dhanneman.

  • HT4199 Every time I introduce the WPA2 passwords I can´t connect. I can only connect to open wi fi networks? Does anyone know why? Thanks

    Every time I introduce the WPA2 passwords I can´t connect. I can only connect to open wi fi networks? Does anyone know why? Thanks

    Some users with various Wi-Fi connection problems have reported that they were given the following instructions by Apple Support, sometimes with success. I can't vouch for this procedure myself. After completing the procedure, you'll have to recreate all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make sure you know how to do that before you begin. Taking screenshots of the preference pane may be helpful.
    Step 1
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 2
    Reset the System Management Controller

  • ITunes library stored on an external hard drive which is connected to my airport extreme, I wish to share my iTunes library over my network, I can do this with my laptop, but not with my iPad, can anyone tell me if it is possible

    I have my iTunes library stored on an external hard drive which is connected to my airport extreme, I wish to share my iTunes library over my network, I can do this with my laptop, but not with my iPad, can anyone tell me if it is possible

    You can't connect directly to the external drive, but should be able to use iTunes Home Sharing via the laptop.

  • I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extrem.  How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptops hard drive??

    I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extreme (2 TB drive plugged into the USB port).  I see the drive on my laptop and I can add and delete files no problem.  How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptop's hard drive?  I don't have enough space to do that.

    How did you move the music to the external drive?  What exactly is on the drive?  The entire iTunes folder or only music?  If it is the entire iTunes folder you can do the option+start suggestion earlier.  If you copied only music and did so by dragging it there then you need to delete it again and consolidate/organize it there instead so iTunes tracks the move.  iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507

  • Can i have two internet connections connected to two airport extremes separately without disturbing the home sharing option.

    can i have two internet connections connected to two airport extremes separately without disturbing the home sharing option. i want to have both the airport extremes to use a single imac for streaming music or video to my apple tv's at different places where one apple tv is in the range of one airport extreme.it's not a problem if both airport extremes have different wifi id's with separate internet.The imac which i use for streaming the music and videos is only in the range of only one airport extreme.is it possible if i can stream music or videos to my apple tv which is not in the range of same airport extreme which i use for imac but in the range of other airport extreme.
    Finally what i need is i want to use two internet networks as my highest possible internet bandwidth is about 1mbps.and i know that i cant mix both the networks and make it as 2mbps.

    Yes, that is possible. Please check out the following Apple Support article for details on how.

  • Can a time machine usb drive backup the data from an external usb drive connected to and airport extreme*

    can a time machine usb drive conected to my mac book backup the data from an external usb drive connected to and airport extreme ?

    Hi Adam, if you think yoiur HD may be failing you could do a TM restore onto the new disk. I would rather see you do a clone either SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner.Of your internal drive. That way you have a bootable backup in case it does fail.
    btw - what are the symptoms of your failing drive?

  • HT201250 Can I use Time Machine to backup a LaCie Hard Drive connected to an Airport Extreme onto a My Book that is connected directly to a Mac Mini?

    I have a LaCie 2TB hard drive connected to a Airport Extreme Base Station.  I also have a 1TB MyBook connected to a Mac Mini.  My question is can you backup selected files (photos) from the LaCie drive to the MyBook drive using Time Machine, or any other software?  If it will cost a fortune, I guess I can always just copy the newer files over.

    Thank you for such a lightning-fast response Niel :-)  Can I just double check with you the following ...?
    The external drive where my iPhoto library is located has three partitions - Time Machine Backup, Pictures (where the iPhoto library is located) and SuperDuper Bootable Clone.
    When you say 'Remove the external drive from the list of items set to be excluded from the backup, and then add everything else on it' - am I correct in thinking that I should remove Pictures partition from the items to be excluded but leave the Time Machine Backup and SuperDuper Bootable Clone as excluded items?
    On my 2TB external drive (the one I'm backing up to) there are 5 partitions - Time Machine Backup, SuperDuper Clone, Pictures, Photo Archive and Document Archive.  The Time Machine Backup is 700GB of which I still have 473GB available - when I include the Pictures folder that contains the iPhoto library that will use up another 148GB but I think there's still plenty of room to use it.
    When you say if the partition contain the iPhoto library isn't dedicated to it it may be easier to create one which is, the only item I have on the Pictures volume is the iPhoto library so I think that it's dedicated to it.  I was going to add images from the Pictures folder on my MacBook Pro but haven't done so at this stage so I won't do so.  It wouldn't matter though, would it, if I copied the images from the Pictures folder on my MBP to the 'Photo Archive' partition of the EHD?
    Thank you once more for your reply.
