Airport extreme will only get or send e-mail messages, or allow Safari to function for about 5 minutes. After that it doesn't respond even though the green light is on and diagnostics says there is nothing wrong. Have to unplug again to get a response.
For the past 2 days Airport Extreme works for about 5 minutes and then will not receive or send e-mail messages, or let Safari work. The only way I can send or receive is to unplug Airport Extreme for a few seconds, reconnect and then work frantically for 5 minutes before it does the same thing. The green light stays on and the diagnostics tells me nothing is wrong even though no mail is moving.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Greg

My A'Extreme sometimes won't connect to my MacBook Pro even if I have a green light on the device . I can unplug the ethernet cable and reconnect and it will work fine. all diagnostics say there is nothing wrong. Any ideas ?
This is more about your modem then anything. Sometimes you'll need to unplug and plug back in your modem. Consider it a glitch from the ISP or just the modem in general.
when I need to turn something off then on I try the modem first. This when I'm not doing any ware and tare to the device. -
I am connected to the computer with my phone and it says there are 0 photos to import, however I have over 200 on my phone to import. I am trying to figure out how to get itunes to recognize the photos on my phone. This has never happened before.
Have you tried to reset the iPhone and tried again to import?
To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. -
I just bought a new Motorola modem. Do I need to reconfigure my Airport Express? For some reason we have WiFi even though the amber light is blinking.
Typically, when changing out networking hardware, it is always a good idea to perform a complete power reset of all of your networking equipment.
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results. -
My MacBook will not turn on unless it's connected to a charger/power source. However, when it is on and charging, it says that it has 0% battery life despite the green light on the charger. How can I fix this?
Your battery has reached the end of its life. If you have a MacBook with the removable battery you can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay.

I have a MacBook pro that I bought in 2012, I have had problems with it randomly restarting almost since it was new. I called tech support several times and they did tests each time and thought they had it fixed but later it started again. Some times it will go a month and not do it but lately it has been doing it more frequently some times several times a day. Day before yesterday I took it to the apple store and left it. today they called and said they could find nothing wrong with it. But they said they could see where it had restarted 60 times. Does anyone have any suggestions.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Ifou don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.

Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway. -

The time machine stopped backing up, the green light is on but it says it can't find the disc
The time machine was working perfectly but all of a sudden it stopped backing up. The green light on the time machine is on and it seems to be functioning correctly (I can access past backups). It is connected using wi fi. The message says that the back up disc is not available. My printer and the internet are also connected wirelessly and they are working OK.
I had the same problem a couple of days ago.
You'll have to Repair disk from Disk Utility on your T/M. But do this over Ethernet not Wifi. Then you 'll have to repair permissions. Once these steps are completed you should restart your Mac. -

Would like to setup guest network apple airport extreme will only allow limited access
imac 10.9.3 connected to internet with airport extreme /xfinity router trying to setup guest network can't connect to internet
The guest network feature of the Apple routers will work correctly when the Apple device connects to a simple modem.......not a modem/router or gateway type of device.
If the guest network feature is important to you, check with your Internet Service Provider to see if they can supply you with a simple modem......which will then allow the guest network feature to work correctly on your network. -

TS3899 My iPhone 4S will only recieve or send e mail when I'm in a wifi spot?
My iPhone 4S only receives or send email when I'm in a wifi spot
Did you already check if "Cellular Data" is activated in Settings/Cellular?
Also explained in this article:
iPhone and iPad (Cellular Models): Understanding cellular data settings and usage
When cellular data is off, all data services use only Wi-Fi, including email, web browsing, push notifications, and other services. If cellular data is on, carrier charges may apply. For example, using certain features and services that transfer data, such as Siri and Messages, could result in charges to your data plan.

I have cox as my internet provider and the last couple weeks i have been having a ton of connection problems. The status light on my airport express is green but my computer is saying the connection is timing out and my phone is having issues connecting to the internet even though it says it is still connected to my wireless network. is it my airport express or something else?
Manually mount the TC in the computer..
In finder use Go/Connect to server.
Type in the name of the TC or its IP address.. I recommend you use all names of SMB standard.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric. That will give you much less trouble.
So AFP://TCname.local (where you use the TCname replaced with the actual network name of the TC. local is the domain by default.
You can use alternative AFP://TCIPaddress like AFP://10.0.1.1 (default IP of TC as router). This is only useful when the TC has a static IP.
Make sure ipv6 is set to link-local in all the network adapters in the computer and the TC.
Then go to TM preferences and you should see the TC listed as a possible target for TM.

I have a Macbook Pro and it works perfectly fine on my AirPort extreem until I try and put a different computer, ipod, or phone on the wireless. When I try and put more than one device on the network only one device will receive internet access and the other(s) will get a message saying it is because of a shared ip address. Is there a way to change it so they can all share an ip address? Please help me configure my wifi and devices so that I can use more than one device on the wifi at a time.
Thanks!Hmm... Those two screen shot disagree. the first shows that the duplication was on 192.168.1.64, while the second showed you were using 192.168.1.63. That confuses matters further.
From the screen that you show, click on the "Advanced..." button in the lower right, then the "TCP/IP" tab.
SHow us a shot of the screen or copy the text from the "Configure IPv4" line and the three under that (IPv4 Address, Subnet Mask, and Router).
Then launch AirPort Utility.
If you have one of the old 5.6.x versions:
* Click on the icon for your Extreme.
* Click on the "Manual Setup" button and supply the password if needed.
* Click on the "Internet" icon at the top.
* Click on the "DHCP" tab.
* Give us a screen shot or transcribe the results.
If you have AirPort Utility 6.2 (the latest):
* Click on the icon for your Extreme.
* Click on the "Edit" button in the balloon that pops up, supply the password if needed.
* Click on the "Network" tab.
* Give us a screen shot or transcribe the results.
