Specifically, make sure it's in "mixed" b/g/n mode, as the Airport Extreme cards in the G5 iMacs only support b/g Wireless. Also, make sure that the encryption/password settings you are using will work as well; WPA/WPA2 should work fine with your G5. I would also run Software Update and make sure you have the latest version of Leopard (10.5.8) and the Airport software. -- [Greg Bennett] -Independent Carpenter, Electrician & Lighting Designer -Purveyor of Classic Apple & Macintosh Gear http://www.hsiprodsvcs.com/ http://www.macshack.us/ -- -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

I isn't available as a startup disk as you can only have a single bootable OS X system per volume and the newly installed system is that bootable system. -- -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Old sys is not offered on 'select startup > disk' > I just went through getting wifi to work (finally) on my G5 tower. After much googling found out that 10.5.6 is very flaky when it comes to wifi so you definitely want to be on 10.5.8. Also are you getting a failed connection message or an invalid password message? I was originally getting failed connection but after fiddling about I started getting invalid password. I knew the password was correct but it just refused to accept it. Turns out I had to allow WPA passwords on my Airport Extreme router and select WPA for passwords on the G5 (WPA2 wouldn't work). A couple of things people reported re upgrading to 10.5.8 - first you need to be sure to install the 10.5.8 combo update last after other upgrades are installed. Also I had to make the ethernet service (network settings panel) inactive for my Airport card to work (got rid of the failed connection message and then became invalid password, which I described above). Now it works fine, although it is slower than ethernet, but I got rid of that long cable :) Hope this helps.

G5 archive & install - how to go back?
My G5 20" would not connect to my wireless ADSL Router. Tried to update the system, (10.5.8) but needed to install 10.5.6 first. I believe (rather late at night) I clicked 'Archive & Install' but disclicked on 'save network settings' as I wanted new network drivers installed. 465 G HD is showing 191 G available so 275 g on disk - I presume there is much more on drive than just 10.5.6. How can I find old sys & files? Old sys is not offered on 'select startup disk' Grateful for any advice.

(Esp as still cannot connect to WiFi! ;-( Replacing your OS for this is like replacing your car's engine because the tire is flat. If the Wifi shows up in the list of available networks, delete your network preferences /Library/Preferences/SYstem Preferences (IIRC, I don't have a 10.5 system in front of me.) and try again. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
