Re: Emac issues and OSX 10.5.8 and Airport Extreme Card
Hey thanks for your advice. Replaced Pram Battery, and Repaired Permissions, and thus far it seems that things are working. Thanks again. --- On Fri, 3/18/11, peterh...@cruzio.com peterh...@cruzio.com wrote: From: peterh...@cruzio.com peterh...@cruzio.com Subject: Re: Emac issues and OSX 10.5.8 and Airport Extreme Card To: g3-5-list@googlegroups.com Date: Friday, March 18, 2011, 2:48 PM Replace the pram.

Re: Emac issues and OSX 10.5.8 and Airport Extreme Card
Thanks for your input. I believe you are right, and I've got 10 more of these machines in here, I want to switch out on one of those, but the batteries probably need replacing as well. They are all around the same age, older.

Emac issues and OSX 10.5.8 and Airport Extreme Card
This adds on to my last post- Not only am I not able to keep the Airport Extreme card active once I reboot the system, but I'm having to reset the date and time every time I reboot the system as well. I do believe it has something to do with the keychain, but I need to know how to get the computer to ask if I wish to include this in the keychain because it will not do this. Please help with these issues. Thanks -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: Emac issues and OSX 10.5.8 and Airport Extreme Card
I would delete any networks/locations under network preferences and create a new location reboot and that should have you set. Having to reset date and time I would hit the go drop down menu in finder and click go to folder should bring up a text box and type private/etc/ this will bring up a bunch of folders. Locate the folder localtime move it to the trash and delete your trash contents then open time and date preferences and select your local time reboot and you should be set up. As the other post mentions this is most likely a dead PRAM battery but try these they might work for you. I have to do the time and date dealio before and many other problems from OSX to linux distros (still much less then winblows:) and I will tell you GOOGLE is you BEST FRIEND! wish you the best.
