My airport problem has returned big time --Need some Help!!

Aloha once again:
I though that this was fixed by simply changing channels on my airport router, but that fix only lasted for a few days, but now it's back and even worse. Let me give you some background on this problem. Here's my original message concerning the problem:
I have my Airport Router connected to the Internet via DSLcable. I then tie my two computers into the internet via their airport cards. For about 6 months this system has been working just fine. Recently my desktop computer quit listening to the router and can no longer connect to the internet. It shows no signal strength and the name of the network on the Airport is not seen in the "connect to internet" panel. The same Airport works just fine on my LapTop and I am using it right now to get this message off to the internet.
I have fixed permissions, removed the airport card and cleaned the connector, the antenna plug and removed the system configuration folder from library preferences all to no avail!
This problem has been hounding me, intermittently, for over a year now What can I do to remedy this??? HELP!!!!

The suggestion to change channels, that came from this original request, worked but just for a very short time. Now I have to shut down my computer overnight to get connected and then it only lasts for several hours and the connection quits.
I thought maybe heat was a problem, but the last time it happened I opened the computer and played a large fan right on the card. This did not help. I shut it down for the night and it was fine the next morning for about 2 hours.
One new data point; if I turn off just the airport on my laptop computer overnight, that will fix the problem for a short time also.
Still need some help!!!
Dan

First, power off both the Time Capsule and AirPort Express.
Wait a few minutes, then power up the Time Capsule first, and let it run for a few minutes.
Temporarily, move the AirPort Express to the same room or close proximity to the AirPort Express and power it up.
If the Express powers up correctly, power it off again and move it approximately half the distance between the Time Capsule and the general area that needs more wireless coverage. Try to minimize obstructions like walls, ceiling, heavy furniture, etc as much as possible.
Please report on your results.

Mac Pro SL Wifi / Airport Problems... big time !

Hey everyone,
im typing this text on my 600 euro sony subnotebook because of wireless problems with my 6 Core Xeon Mac Pro Late 2010 i paid 6024 euros for.
Whats the Problem ?...
My Airport connenction is usual 4 times slower than on every other wifi device on my netgear wnr 2000v2 Router. And extremly instable too... it drops down to 0 bytes per second transfer for over 1 minute peaking at 40kb and dropping down to 0 bytes again... all other devices run at 200 kb/s at least...
I tried so far:
resetting the pram
deleting the System Configuration Folder from /Macintosh HD/ Library/ Preferences....
deleting Keychain Passwords for wifi
deleting all chaches via Cocktail
resetting smc
resetting the router
tried every firmware version on my router
tried different channels on my router
tried every encryption and no encryption on my router
tried b/g/n modes on my router
tried to deactivate quality of service settings on the router
installed a combo update of 10.6.7 snow leopard over the first 10.6.7 installation
nothing worked,increased the bandwith / stability, or it worked ony for a couple off minutes or 2 restarts...
i know these Mac OS X wireless problems since i got my Powerbook G4 in 2005 with Panther and Tiger and Leopard and i cannot believe after 5 Years of Development a Unix based OS has problems with networking... i expect a Unix OS to work like 1+1= 2 and not 1+1=268 on a rainy day, on sunny days its 739... this is what i experienced from windows systems in the past... i have my doubts that 10.6.8 will solve this problem... oh wait, maybe lion will fix this !

If you've never had good WiFi performance from the MP, that suggests a hardware issue, such as a loose antenna connection.

IP telephony problem in a big shop | Need your help

Hello everybody,
I have an issue to solve regarding an IP telephony problem. My company will send me to France to fix this problem. But most of my knowledge are in routing and switching, I have almost no knowledge in IP telephony ( Theory only). I think the problem is not really difficult but I still need your advices to know where to start and what to do.
Futher down is a summary of the e-mails I received from the shop in France from the employees who are working there. France Telecom is the ISP.
1 e-mail:The problem is the connection between the ISDN lines provided by France Telecom and the IPBX installed by our shop.
2 e-mail:The problem isn't the physical line itself. The problem is that they ( France telecom) do not route all the numbers out to the ISDN line they installed. The number ending with 1212 get routed to the ISDN NT and that number actually works. But the rest of the number series does not get terminated in that ISDN NT. Calling those other number result in an error message being read in French. That can only come from France Telecom.
3 e-mail:We cannot solve this problem because it is not the system which has an error. Carl has been in Bordeaux and has checked the ISND line at that is working, but the number series for Bordeaux is missing in the system from France Telecom, the only existing number is 1212. The rest of the numbers are missing for French Telecom and is therefore not working. Either we have been informed of a wrong number series +33 5 34 32 12 04 to 13 or France Telecom has not delivered what they should.
4 e-mail:I checked again with France Telecom and they confirmed that everything is delivered and ok from their side.
They gave us the number series +33 5 34 32 12 04 to 13 with main number (headnumber) is +33 5 34 32 12 12 (exactly as in Paris where we are nÂ° series from +33 1 53 25 13 70 to +33 1 53 25 13 89 with the headnumber is +33 1 53 25 13 70).
That's the reason why you find only the +33 5 34 32 12 12 arriving into the IPBX, it's because you then have to program in our IPBX the other nÂ° we want to use (+33 5 34 32 12 04/ 05/ 06/ 07/ â¦10/ 13/â¦) within the number series granted by France Telecom.
But this can be done only by us because we installed our own IPBX.
5 e-mail:Even though the other numbers aren't programmed into the IPBX, we should still get some sort of ISDN Layer 1 activity when calling one of the other numbers (fx. the 07number). That never happens, which means the numbers are somehow impeded from France Telecom.
When we call one of the number, we get an error message in French. If the traffic was hitting the IPBX, then that couldn't happen. That speak originates from France Telecom and we have never gotten any explanation as to why it's even there.
I will really apreciate your help. Where do you think the problem comes from? Is that really France Telecom whose empeded the series number(do not route the numbers)? What should I check/do, configure?
Thanks a lot for your help to all of you.

Problems with 10.7.X - need some help please

Where to begin???
New mac mini with 10.7.x
Double clicking the top of the window won't collapse window like in previous versions.
Double clicking on a folder that is on the desktop opens behind the hard drive window.
When restarting or logging back in, all my icons are in a different place (scattered) than where they were when logging out or shutting down. This is in reference to my hard drive window. I have everything there on icon view. All other sub folders are list view, no problems with those. How do I get 10.7.x to remember the window view?
I imported all my mail and mailboxes and sorted them where I wanted them from a mac mini running 10.4.11 and at the next restart they were all back where they were before I sorted them. I even threw out mailboxes that I didn't need anymore and they reappeared.
I am so confused. I almost feel like a bought a pc with a MS operating system.
And God forbid I need to reinstall the system, there is no way to do that because there is no dvd, let alone a dvd drive. And no I didn't sign up for icloud.
I know I sound kind of pi$$y, but I am frustrated and don't have a lot of time to devote to getting this straightened out.
I would really appreciate some assistance.

But there is a Recovery HD for just that purpose.

My iPad has been stolen, I need some help with the Find my iPhone app and iCloud please

Hello people. I have (had) an iPad 1 (wifi only) - which was stolen two days ago. It's locked with a passcode but I am worried that someone will be able to get into it. I've got the Find app installed on my iPhone 4S and it shows that both my iPad and stolen iPod are offline.
Q - if either the iPad or the iPod goes into an unlocked wifi area, will I be notified on my phone?
Q - can anyone actually break into my iPad as it is locked?
Q - how does iCloud work in terms of the info that's on my iPad - photos etc that I don't want to lose?
Q - I've reported this to the police - does Apple need to know?
I'd be very grateful for any advice, many thanks in advance

Hello fastuca. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Let's double-check your base stations' settings ...
o If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
o Open AirPort Utility and select the Time Capsule (TC).
o Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
o Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
o Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
o Next, select the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) that will extend this network, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
o Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.
o Enter the base station network and base station password is necessary.
o Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.

If you take a screenshot (Press the home button and Lock button at the same time), does it appear on the screenshot? Zoom in on the screenshot and see if it's still there.
If not, then your display is failing. I would recommend taking it to an Apple Store if you can, if you can't then to an authorised Apple reseller.
If it does appear on the screenshot when you zoom into the spot, then it's a really weird software issue! You might have to backup and restore the device.
Let me know!

My iphone has error9 code, it keeps showing connect to itunes,need some help

i need some help please,, i already updated my latest itunes version, usb troubleshooting done, need some help please

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error9
USB:
Use a port directly on the computer, not a hub. If it is not a laptop and has ports on the back and front use a port on the back.
Security Software:
Disable your antivirus and firewall, then restore.
Other:
If the phone has been jailbroken that is likely the cause of your problem. Also, if the computer you are using to restore has been used to jailbreak any iOS device in the past.

Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next connect to iTunes and update via iTunes. Others have had the same problem.

Plug in iPhone with Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn on itself. If not, keep on Wall Charger and Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart. This usually takes less than 20 seconds of holding both buttons.

I'm new to itunes and need some help. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to download an album which has explicit content without actually downloading the explicit songs?

I'm new to itunes and need some help. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to download an album which has explicit songs without actually downloading the songs that are explicit?

See if there's a non-explicit version and download that? Just download the individual songs you want, and not the others?
Honestly, your phrasing doesn't make sense. You're asking how to download an album without downloading its tracks?
