Airport extreme loses internet connection all the time with imac and macbook pro

I keep losing the internet connection with airport extreme on my imac and macbook pro but NOT with my pc

Ok, so when you say you lose internet connection, is it disconnecting from your wireless network so there are no bars?
And are there usually full bars?

  • Hello! I have a huge question about how can I get connected my iphone 4 with my car Is there any opption on find my car application? I have a Volvo xc60 and I want to be connected all the time with my iphone. Can I do that?

    Hello! I have a huge question about how can I get connected my iphone 4 with my car Is there any opption on find my car application? I have a Volvo xc60 and I want to be connected all the time with my iphone. Can I do that?

    Hello. I can say that you have a quite strange „huge question”… It’s non-sense to stay connected with your car which is hundreds miles away. Unless…
    I have a theory. You don’t want to controll your car, you want to controll somebody who is driving the car. Volvo XC 60 is a nice family car, usually used by married men between age of 35-45, probably with small children, so it’s very unlikely that you want to controll your teanage kid, mainly because probably even if you would give him/her to drive the car in the neighborhoud, I don’t think that he/she would be „several hundred miles away”…  If your child is not young teneage anymore, and he/she has his/her own life, but you want to control him/her, that is sick… So I am convinced that you want to controll your husband who probably travelling often! Am I wright?
    Isnt’t nice at all! Would you like if you would be monitorized in such way? I bet you don’t!
    Anyway, iPhone is smart, you can use for many things, but come on, you really were thinking that there is such kind of application???
    What could you do it's to put in the car a GPS survelling system, however I don't think that you could do it without your husband knowledge, otherwise he won't be able to start the engine...

  • Why does the 3GS lose 3G connection all the time?

    My 3GS drives me insane and I'm strongly considering going back to BlackBerry when my upgrade is due in November because I NEVER had this issue with those phones but the issue occurs on my 3GS, it happens with my friend's iPhone 4 and I therefore doubt the issue will be resolved in the next iPhone.
    Whenever I lose mysignal, ie. going into a lift, the signal returns afterwards but the 3G connection NEVER returns automatically unless I turn on Airplane mode and then turn it back off again. When I do this, 3G returns on an almost full signal so I know that the area I'm in has a strong enough signal.
    This is unacceptable for a phone that is supposed to do pretty much everything! And getting a 3G signal back after a drop in signal really doesn't seem too much to ask since all other phones seem to handle it perfectly well. I've also noticed that iPhones tend to display 'searching' for absolutely ages after coming out of an area with no signal, whereas everyone else regains their signal long before I do!
    This is very frustrating, I feel like I am babysitting this hunk of junk and I've reached the end of my tether. Do iPhones have an issue in general with signal and maintaining a decent signal? If so, I'm getting shot of this thing and getting a phone that actually functions how it should.
    And yes I've switched on and off, yes my phone regularly runs completely flat, yes I've taken the SIM out and put back in and yes I've even tried a completely brand new SIM.

    Hi
    Are you in the UK ?
    I have the exact same problem on O2 - using an iphone 3gs 4.3.5
    Now, I think it is to do with a software update... My cousin has a 4 on 4.3.1 or .2 and hers doesn't do it but another friend has a 4 on 4.3.5 and hers does the same as mine.
    It drives me mad. I come home and have good 3g but then it goes and I have to go into airplane mode and back to re-connect to 3g and then when I do there is like 3 - 4 bars of 3g there,
    I wish Apple would sort it out!!!

  • All the problems with my C2D MacBook Pro

    • My Finder icon on my dock has come off and placed itself in the bottom left-hand corner of my screen. Always on top of all windows; cannot be click, dragged, right-clicked or interacted with at all.
    • My user directories are messed up. When I created my account upon first startup I named it "Me". There is also the "Home" directory which is what comes up in the Finder. Different applications save different files to different user folders. For instance. Photo Booth saves images to the "Me" user, so I cannot open finder and click the convenient "Pictures" folder. Also, my iTunes music is in the wrong "Music" folder. When I download something in Safari, it saves to "Desktop" but it's not actually on my desktop. it's in User > Me > Desktop. I only have one login account when I start up. Can I combine the two user folders and delete one? I just want everything to be able to be accessed through the sidebar on my finder.
    • My AirPort card won't connect to certain OPEN networks. Then randomly it will connect for a little while.

    Edit:

  • Looses wireless connection all the time.

    Hi
    I have a problem with my macbook pro, it looses its internet connection all the time. I don't know why since it's quite close to it's modem and other laptops that's more far away works fine. Any idea?
    Best regards Frankensten

    Does the router have the latest firmware? What happens when you are at a hotspot or a Starbucks?

  • Make AirPort Extreme share internet connection with Time Capsule

    Hello,
    This is the situation: in one room there's an old Mac, the modem which delivers the internet and the AirPort Extreme which is connected to the modem.
    In another room there's the Mac Pro, the Time Capsule which is connected to the Mac Pro with an ethernet cable and to a printer via USB.
    I want the AirPort Extreme to wirelessly share it's internet connection with the Time Capsule so that the Time Capsule can share the printer with all three Macs (old Mac, Mac Pro and Macbook Pro), the Mac Pro can use the Time Capsule for Time Machine functionality and maybe the Macbook Pro too.
    And just using the Time Capsule for internet.
    How can I do this?
    At the moment the AirPort Extreme is disconnected and the Time Capsule is used instead, but this way I can't share the printer...
    Thanks!

    Is that AirPort Extreme "flat" or dome-shaped?  If it's flat (802.11n-capable), you should be able to configure the "main" router to "Allow this network to be extended" and the other to "Join a wireless network".  If the Extreme is dome-shaped, then you need a more-complicated "WDS" arrangement.  In either case it shouldn't matter much which router plays which role.
    I'm not sure what you mean by "And just using the Time Capsule for internet."

    Is the printer connected to the USB port of the Time Capsule?  Can you see the printer in the "Printer" panel of AirPort Utility?  What happens when you try to use it from one of the Macs?

  • Should Time Machine drive be connected all the time?

    I have just bought a Western Digital hard drive, connected it to our imac via Firewire 800, and started the initial Time Machine backup. As the iMac only has one firewire port that I also use for connecting other devices such as my DV cancorder or my Edirol audio interface, I am wondering what happens with Time Machine when it's hard drive is not connected, which will be when ever I am using the firewire port for other things? Time machine is defaulted to back up every hour which it won't be able to do if it is not connected.
    Will Time Machine just pick up and do a back up when it is reconnected?
    Or, would it be better to use one of the USB ports, even though this is slower, and leave the hard drive connected all the time.

    This might be better, especially after your initial full backup, just so you don't have to be fooling with the plugs all the time, and perhaps forgetting to re-connect. If your incremental backups aren't large, the speed difference probably won't be significant.

  • I have a Time Capsule on which I back up 2 MacBooks and on my wife's machine she keeps having Airport Utility popping up all the time with a yellow button flashing on the left and a Red button on the right side with a "1" in the middle of it.

    I have a Time Capsule on which I back up 2 MacBooks and on my wife's machine she keeps having Airport Utility popping up all the time with a yellow button flashing on the left and a Red button on the right side with a "1" in the middle of it. Can any one tell me what is wrong. I read where when the yellow light was flashing there was a problem, but I am a novice at this and have no idea where to turn. It seems to be backing up on a regular basis.

    On the Mac......
    Open up Macintosh HD > Applicatons > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the small window that appears
    Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
    Change the setting for Router Mode from the current DHCP and NAT to read Off (Bridge Mode), then click Update at the lower right of the window, and wait a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a green light.
    Then.....very important
    Power off the Time Capsule and your Arris modem/router for a few minutes
    Start up the Arris first, and let it run a few minutes by itself
    Start up the Time Capsule next the same way
    Your network will now be correct, and your printing capabilities will improve.
    If Time Machine backups do not occur now, post back and we will tackle that next.

  • Keeping external docking stations connected all the time?

    I would like to connect a couple hard drive docking stations to a new iMac so I can easily swap out different bare hard drives. Are there any issues or reasons to not keep two docking stations connected via FW or TB connected all the time?
    Thanks.

    Should be no problem, just remember to Eject the Disks in the Finder before removing from the Dock.

  • Having problems with ipad mini and Siri. Works sporadically, will work once and then the second time not. Worked all the time with the original Mailbox app. Then started doing the same thing when I installed the new update so wondering if it is software?

  • My iphone 4s shuts itself off all the time. starts normal and then shut it off and start all over again, what is wrong?

    my iphone 4s shuts itself off all the time. starts normal and then shut it off and start all over again, what is wrong?

    Your iPHone is designed by intention to shut off when there is a reason for the softwarer to believe that danger is immenent to the hardware. This can occurr if the software is running applications that have been corrupted due to all types of different scenarios. My best advice to you would be to restore your device back to default manufactures settings and do NOT restore the current backup of the IOS program currently running.
    If this corrects the problem with your device intermittently restarting you will then know you have had applications there were corrupted on your device. Once you are convinced there are no issues with the hardware of your device you then are free to begin downloading software apps that were earlier on the device.
    Good luck.
