I bought the Airport Extreme because I thought it would increase the range of the WiFi signal in my house. I have a DSL modem (also Wifi) and there are parts of the house that do not seem to have a strong Wifi signal. The Airport Extreme does not seem to be increasing my Wifi signal strength? Any thoughts on what I could be doing wrong? I am able to connect to it, etc. Just thought the strength would be better.

The broadcast power of all wireless routers and devices is limited by law.....and all manufacturers run their routers full blast.....so the relative signal strength of wireless routers from one manufacturer to another will tend to be remarkably similar.....despite the fancy advertising claims.
You may want to consider adding another AirPort Extreme to "extend" the signal strength in your home. If you decide to do this, the "extending" Extreme would normally need to be located at a point that is approximately half the distance from your "main" AirPort Extreme and the general area that needs more wireless coverage.

    There are songs in my library that do not show up on my ipod after syncing.
    Why would this happen ?

    Do they play in iTunes on the computer?
    Are they from a different source or format that the ones that do sync?

    i have purchased an album via itunes and there are 4 songs that have a cloud with an red arrow pointing down, when I click on it it says unable to download at this time.   Why?

    I'm not sure if they could tell you but you could try contacting Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click iTunes>iTunes Store>Purchases, Billing & Redemption.  You will need your serial number, which you can find in Settings>General>About.

  • IPhone 5 stuck on home screen and there are codes at the top??

    So I plugged the phone in and it started charging like it should. When it had enough juice the Apple logo flashed and it should'be pushed me to the main screen of my iPhone. Instead it stayed on the start up screen with the apple logo and there are codes at the top of the screen that start with [nand]. There are about 10 rows of it. What should I do?

    This error is hardware related and you should get the phone serviced by visiting an Apple Store or an Authorized Apple Service Provider.

    Sorry, no idea at this point with so few details to go on. It will probably help if you'll post what version of Mac OS X you're running and who your email provider is. Someone then may have some ideas.

  • New iMac to which I have imported outlook mail files which have set up as individual mailboxes. There are now so many mailboxes that mail will not open so I can't do anything with them. What can I do.

    I have a brand new iMac and I have incorectly imported 20k plus outlook mail messages. They have all set up as individual mailboxes so mail locks when I try to open it. So I am stuck because I can't get into mail to do anything with these messages. Please help if you can. Regards Tebbs

    Now new mail is coming to both computer's inboxes but there is no number on the stamp icon on dock to show number of emails on the iMac. Nor is there a number by either email address under MAILBOXES/inbox (sidebar) on the iMac. This number is showing on MacBook Pro.
    I also can save drafts now on both computers.
    Seems the Pro is fixed and the iMac is only missing the numbers on dock icon and by addresses in inbox.
    Now that the problem is less, I feel i am wasting your time but will continue so maybe I can get those numbers back.
    Two emails > AT&T email and gmail.
    Apple's Mail program for email - yes, and gmail.
    IMAP for both accounts.
    Did not change mail configuration on MacBook.
    The iMac and MacBook Pro have the same mail configuration except in Accounts/mailbox behaviours/store draft messages on the server was not marked on MacBook > it is now.
    'Store junk messages on the server' was marked on one computer for gmail, but is unmarked on both now.
    On the iMac, Accounts/Accounts info/Outgoing mail for gmail is smtpgmail.
    On the MacBook Pro for gmail it is smpt.gmail.com (plus) my email address.
    Rules/Add rule window, on the MacBook third line is 'Any Recipient', on the iMac third line is 'From."
    The last box on that line has my email address on the MacBook.
    The last box on that line has the last address I sent an emil to (last night), on the iMac.
    On the last line on iMac, no box was selicted for 'to mailbox' > I choose 'inbox' because it is on the MacBook Pro.
    Now I have a Rule #1 and am not sure I should have because there was no rules marked when I took the computer in.
    Thank you. I relized I had done the labeling wrong when so much of my question appeared twice and no one else's did. I know how to do it now.
    Thank you so much,

  • How can I view more than one result on the screen when I search for apps? eg I search for my hobby and there are over 1500 results - one result per screen - do I have to swipe 1500 times to see them all?

    I search for apps about my hobby. There are over 1500 results. Each single result takes up the whole screen. I will have to swipe the screen 1500 times to see all the results. How can I see 8 or 10 results and scroll through fast? Thanks very much for any suggestions!

    Bump:)
    But I've found some online reviews of this and I think we
    are stuck with this amazingly awful search system until
    they realize people like me won't bother searching for or buying
    Apps.
    Does a novel display one sentence per page?
    Do you listen to a radio documentary that transmits one word a minute?
    Or how about a song that is broken into four parts because the singers ran out of breath?
    Searching app products has never been easy or a pleasure, and now it's tougher than ever. Who has the time to swipe 1,600 times? It HURTS - and hurts my brain just thinking about it.
    Woe is me!
    Woe are we!

    I enjoyed many News/Talk Radio options, including NPR stations around the country, on my Apple TV until recently.  Recently during their fund drive Michigan Radio announced that their bandwidth was changing and AppleTv users would have to go to the itunes store to get the free app enabling NPR.  Can't find the free app or anything about apps for AppleTV.  Please help.  Also, is there an easy way to get audiobooks to play on iphone4s?

    There are no apps specifically for Apple TV. You just go to the app store and download the app to your IOS device and use airplay to stream to Apple TV.

  • Thunderbird **Main Screen** Font is WAY TOO small - and there are no provisions to change that text size!

    I see lots and lots of complaints but NO suitable answer! Most answers don't even answer the question but instead tell how to increase MESSAGE font size - not the main screen "message list". Suggestions to change screen resolution are common but are ludicrous. One would have to change resolution every time they went in or out of Thunderbird! CTRL+ is also suggested but does not work on the message list. Creating and inserting CSS into the profile is a ridiculous suggestion for most users. And changing advanced settings is only an option for a guru - from my experience less than 10% of the folks I know would even look at the advanced settings - and less than 10% of those few would actually attempt such changes. This has been an ongoing complaint for a looong time.
    It's time someone stepped up to the plate and provided a reasonable method of changing the size of the text on this screen.
    Or do you want to limit you users to only programmer types?

    I have recently made the switch in the last week to Thunderbird from Apple Mail. I have been a Firefox user for many years. Near enough from the beginning. So far I am impressed with Thunderbird but it is lacking something that I don't get with Firefox. Font size is a big issue for me too and it's straining my already short sighted and possibly making (damaging) my eyesight more by using Thunderbird.
    Though I agree with everything you are saying. I am one of those users who would prefer to change things within thunderbird itself rather than go and install another third party addon. I by no means am a guru but I have a fairly good understanding of things and would like to learn more about the about:config side of things treading carefully. I have tweaked things in Firefox this way. and disabled some items for security reasons. I am having difficulty finding info within the Mozilla site on this side of things and have yet to go down the search engine route for research into this.
    I would like to change not only the main message list as you suggest but also the From, Subject, Reply To, To and Route content along with the Reply, Forward, Archive btns along with any other content etc, above the main message content. As well as my folders.
    I feel Thunderbird is lacking accessibility features for those with bad vision or using smaller screen sizes. What I would like is a + and - with percentage btn like in Firefox that zooms in and out the complete page in a more responsive web like way. This would greatly improve things for many users. I'm sorry Mozilla but being able to zoom in and out with a keyboard shortcut in the main message content is not good enough.

  • I have "unread" emails in my Mailbox and there are no unread messages there.

    In my mailbox there are "unread" or "ghost" emails. My gmail accounts are perfectly fine however its my Exchange account that is causing me grief. I have now racked up 19 "unread" emails and 2 "unread" junk mail from the same account. I have tried making a smart mail box with the unread rule on, I have done a safe boot, I have gone back to the original sight of the email account and gone through all the emails there. I have turned the account off. I have deleted the account and added it again. I have tried highlighting all the emails, marked them as unread, and then marked them all as read. Still nothing!
    I have no idea what to do now. Just 2 months ago I had my computer swept for viruses at the mac store so I'm hoping its not that.
    Please help!

    Delighted that helped
    As I said, I think you tried many very good cures.
    Enjoy your Mac!

  • I have a brought cd that is in the store but when i go to import it it does not allow says to have to manually type heaps of songs. there are cds saying the same!

    i have a brought cd that is in the itunes store but when i go to add to to my list is says not on net data base. my own copy i brought! how do i solve it i do not want to type over 50 songs in to computer.

    Hi dones49,
    It sounds like your issue here is that iTunes can not find the files for some of the songs you have brought into it. This happens occasionally even if the songs have not been moved from the location that iTunes places them on import or purchase. When you try to use the song, iTunes prompts you to find the file, as you have seen.
    To find the file, use the information in this article to navigate through the iTunes media folders -
    Locate and organize your iTunes files
    If you are still unable to locate the files, you may need to download them from the iTunes store again, or rip them from your CDs. See this article for assistance with downloading your past purchases -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
