"added time cap to existing network" and can't get Ethernet cable connection to Time cap to work...

I added a new time capsule to my existing wifi network. Everything initialized well and time machine could see the TC. I tried to connect a cable directly to the TC for the first backup... But the cable connection doesn't see the TC. Ideas?

If you used join a network then the TC turns off its ethernet ports.

Thanks, helped me figure out a bigger problem there was with my router's access control and all kinds of crazy numbers that needed to be changed, but I got it.
Problem is fixed as far as I can tell!

I changed the password on my WiFi network and can't get my Airport Express to join the network

AT$tT recently replaced my DSL modem with a modem/router. I was able to reset my Airport Express gen1 to join the network. Then I changed my network password and cannot get it to reconfigure to join the network with a new password. Suggestions?

Next time you want to change the network password.......change it on the Express first....and then on your main router. Then, as soon as you restart the main router, the Express already has the settings that it needs to join the network and it will join with no problems.
Now, you must reset the Express back to factory default settings and then set it up again. To do that......
Power off the Express for a minute
Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it in for an additional 10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the Express back in to power
Release the reset button after the 10 second hold, and allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light status
The Express has now been reset and you can reconfigure it to join your "new" network now.

Our ISP changed the way we access the internet. Since then, wireless devices such as iPhone, iPad and iPod won't connect to the wireless and hold on to it. Devices get on, but then drop the network and can't get back on. Then it will appear, magically.

Our devices keep getting dropped off the wi-fi. The computer and lap top are fine, but the iPad, iPhone, and iPod all keep losing access to the network.We have tried:
Resetting the D-link, restoring Airport Extreme to its factory settings, resetting netowrk settings, powering down devices, turning wi-fi on and off. It has been pretty frustrating to say the least. This all started after our ISP changed our... I am not sure what it is called, but the thing stuck on the house outside to broadcast across the valley to the mountain where we get our internet.... Any other fixes?

I guess the issue is the Airport Extreme. We put back our old D-link and everyone is on. The Extreme did not live up to my hopes - (guest network, limit wi-fi for my children's devices to a certain time period...) And, it didn't last long - I think it is only a year old, if that. I have restored it to factory settings but to no avail.... perhaps it was a dud. Is anyone else actually able to limit access? I set it up but it quit working over and over and the kids were on whenever. Then we started losing all the devices in the last few weeks - laptop fine for wi-fi, iPad, iPod, iPhone all randomly kicked off and let back on.
This is a great idea - and it would be worth replacing if I knew my new on would work. Thanks for replying lllaass!

I have a Windows XP Pro PC and Can't Get it to Connect to an Airport Wireless network

Hi, I'm kinda at my wit's end here. I have a desktop PC using Windows XP Pro operating system. To get wireless, I'm using an external wireless d-link USB.
It works fine on my home network. I took the desktop to my local repair guy. There's nothing wrong with it that would prevent network connections. And, natch, the wireless network is working well on everyone else's computers there, including my MacBook. But what happens with this PC is that it sees the network and then tries to connect and doesn't connect ever.
Any ideas?

Googling around, I decided to try changing the password to 13 characters on the airport. That did the trick.

Hi, I have a MacPro and can't get it to connect to my emails or Chrome / Safari to work. The Internet works fine on my iPads; I have used the network diagnosis tool to check that the Ethernet connection is fine, and it is. Help, please?

I don't have another computer that I can connect to the Ethernet; and its not really practical to move the Mac Pro nearer to the Airport Express to get wifi signal. I've tried turning everything completely off (including taking the plug out of the socket), but it still doesn't work. Any ideas, please?

Desperate times call for desperate measures:
System Preferences > Network > Ethernet > (Assist Me) > Assistant ...
... and set it up again, being sure to specify a new "Location". Do not keep the "Automatic" one, create a new one or accept the default (current date&time).
A "Location" is a basket of settings from all over the place that could influence how your network connection behaves. Thye were invented to collect together such stuff so that you could switch fro "Home" to "Work" to "StarBux" just by specifying the Location, and all the settings needed would be pulled together and applied at once.
Sometimes a stray setting gets included by accident, and a new setup eliminates that stray setting and it perks up and works afterward.

Just got a new iphone and can't get it to connect to my existing itunes

how do I get my itunes/computer to "se" my new iphone?

Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.5 or later (free download fromwww.itunes.com/download)

Magic mouse constantly disconnects and can't get it to connect without rebooting the computer. Anyone else have this issue

How do you solve the problem of the magic mouse constantly disconnecting? I have changed the batteries and turn it on and off, but the only way to get it to reconnect seems to be re-starting the computer. Any thoughts? Thank you.

Greetings Beth,
Wireless devices are susceptible to interference. Review this article for common sources: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3048#5
They are also very sensitive to low power. Make sure you are using VERY fresh batteries. If they have been sitting on a shelf for months they don't count as fresh IMO.
Troubleshooting steps to try after you read that article at the top:
Remove the following to the trash: Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences > com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
Restart the computer and re-pair the mouse and keyboard
If issue persists reset the SMC:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
If the issue persists reset the PRAM:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
Hope that helps!

I have purchased a new ipad2. I am connected to wifi and can not get it to connect to the app store. Am I missing something?

I have purchase a new Ipad2. I am having difficulty getting on the app store. It just says it cannot connect to the server. Help

Have you been syncing the iPod with iTunes? Then you just connect the iPad and set it up through iTunes and sync any content you want onto it.

In terms of games/apps. If they are not universal (you will see a + symbol next to them) or made for iPad (you would see an HD in the name, usually) then they won't look good on an iPad as those apps will open in a iPod sized window, giving you the option to enlarge.

Can't get the "Choose signature" drop down menu to work

suggestions?

When customizing my Button Toobars I can't get the Bookmark Toolbar Drop down menu to stay, it simply disappears once I close the customization window

I have iphone 4 and it connect to some wireless networks and some others are not visible while other lphones can find these networks and i tried to restart the phone many times and there is no result, kindly advice

i have iphone 4 and it connect to some wireless networks and some others are not visible while other lphones can find these networks and i tried to restart the phone many times and there is no result, kindly advice

Some updates and clarifications:
1. I already have my 2.4 channel fixed.
2. Wireless network name is 8 alphanumeric characters; no spaces
3. Already using WPA2 security with a 10 alphanumeric key (again, no spaces)
4. I am running Airport Utility 6.0, Mac OS version 10.7.4
I should also say that these problems started happening less than a month ago...prior to that all devices where working normally.
An added update: My two e-readers (nook ST and Kindle 3) are also refusing to connect...perhaps confirming that I have 2.4 GHz issues?

Can an Airport extend a wireless network and support a USB printer at the same time?

Can an Airport extend a wireless network and support a USB printer at the same time?

Yes, if the AirPort Express is extending the wireless signal produced by another Apple router. The Express cannot wirelessly extend a network produced by a non-Apple router.
In addition to extending the network and connecting a printer, AirPlay can also be enabled on the AirPort Express, with all services operating simultaneously.
Please note that only the print function will work if you connect an All-in-One type device to the USB port on the Express. Advanced features like copy, scan, mainentance, etc are not supported when an All-in-One device is connected to the USB port on an AirPort router.

How do I add time capsule to existing network?

How do I add time capsule to existing network?

Ok.. I am still confused as an Express only has one ethernet for LAN not 4. So you perhaps have an extreme..
If you have an airport extreme.. plug the TC into the extreme with ethernet.. and set it up as bridge in router.
You can also create a wireless network that works alongside the extreme.. this is the best way.
It is also possible to setup the TC to extend the wireless of the extreme.. but this will make backups much slower.. at least half the speed if not worse.

It is almost as if the program does not exist on my computer. If I search for it, the only thing that comes up is the installer. I cannot find it anywhere despite the fact I have installed it numerous times, uninstalled it and conducted a fresh install, and the Adobe website checks says that it is installed.

I am planning on using my time capsule as a network and essentially an external hard drive - not just back up, is this ok?

Most users should use the Time Capsule for backups. This assumes that "original" copies of your data are on the computer and backups of this data are stored on the Time Capsule.
If either the Time Capsule or the hard drive on your computer fails, there are at least copies of your important data on the other drive.
If you are asking if you can place "original" files on the Time Capsule, do you have a plan to backup those files?
If the Time Capsule drive has a problem....and your only copy of your important data is on the Time Capsule....you will lose everything.
If you are asking if this is OK, the answer for most folks would be "no".
Can you clarify if this is what you are asking?
