AE won't STAY on my network....and can't talk to it via wire...

Been wrestling with a new fios connection and wireless router.
So after some good advice here, I'm trying to re-establish my AE LAN as it was with DSL, which was one AE at DSL modem, one AE for air tunes at the stereo.
I've got the AE at the FIOS router doing it's thing...but when I add the AE for the stereo through Airport Setup, it gives me the "Congrats!" screen, but it doesn not show up on ITunes and it does not show up on the network if I look for it with airport Utility.
I tried to use an ethernet cable to change the channel to match the AE at the Fios, and that worked once, but now, if I try to use the cable to link up to it, I can't see the AE.
Did I kill this AE somehow?

Thanks Bruce.
The Actiontec router is connected via a wire to one AE (Basement).
I could not find a way to disable the Actionnet router wireless signal, but it doesn not seem to matter. The Basement AE is on our Family Newtork, I can see it in Airport Admin Utilty.
My second AE (stereo) is the one that does not seem to work. I reset it, then sometimes Airport Setup Assistant can see the Stereo AE briefly and I'll add it to the Family Network, but then it will immediately dissappear, start a slow amber flash and not be seen by either Setup Assistant or Airport Admin Utility.
The Family Network is working for internet signal, but I've got no iTunes to the stereo.
BTW, this is exactly how I had these two AE's working with our DSL modem prior to upgrading to FIOS - one at the modem and one at the stereo, both on the family network.
Thanks.

I have a issue with my mac book pro. For some reason it won't stay powered on. I can't get past the apple loading logo. The battery is fully charged so it is not the problem. Can anyone tell me what the problem may be and how can i get it resolved?

What happens when you use the MagSafe?

I have created a second user on my imac (OSX 10.7.1) and applications won't stay in the dock and my preferences default after restart. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi again, ;o)
I found this advice in another thread (here), which you might find helpful...
Unregistering the iMac from .Mac syncing and re-registering it (replacing the computer's information with the .Mac information) resolved the issue.
The .Mac sync information was Reset (i.e. recopied in it's entirety) from the MacBook (the 'good' computer) to .Mac prior to unregistering and re-registering the iMac, so a fresh copy of the sync could be loaded from .Mac to the iMac.
I hope this helps the others who have had this problem.

I changed from a dial up to a high speed network and can no longer get Firefox to work as my browser. What do I need to do?

I changed from a dial up to a high speed network and can no longer get Firefox to work as my browser. What can I do.
I did try to download Firefox again, but still will not work.

Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Successfully set up TC (the latest one) for MBP. I can access to TC wirelessly. Tried to access from my PC too but PC does not even detect TC (as storage), while PC is connected in the same network and can access to the internet. Anything missed?

Load the airport utility for windows.. it has several parts.. the key one is bonjour for windows which helps windows find apple network devices.
The TC should also be setup with names that windows can use.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
So Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule
Is not a valid windows name.
TCgen5 is.

I am setting up a lab of imacs in a school. I have successfully bound the imacs to our network and can log in using the windows account. However, I cannot access my files. Is there another step?

If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

I have Windows XP / bootcamp and can connect to the internet via Wi Fi (Apple Express) but when I try to open Int. Explorer I get a message "cannot connect". I checked to make sure IE is not off line. Any suggestions please?

Try using a different browser as a test.

Won't stay connected to network

Not sure if this is a Safari problem or internal with my Mac somehow. I have a G5 and I connect to a router for wireless internet. I also connect to my printer through the same router.
I've noticed sometimes when I exit safari and then come back to the computer later and click the Safari Icon it sometimes doesn't connect to the internet without me having to go through a "Network Diagnostic" test. Then usually what happens is about half way through the diagnostics my internet home page will load, or I'll get to the end of the diagnostic and it says "your connection is working" and then the home page will appear.
The problem I have now is that my computer won't stay connected to my printer. If I try to print a document or photo it does not send it to the printer, however if I turn Safari on so I know I'm connected to the network then all of a sudden the printer will work.
I guess somehow my computer is automatically disconnecting from my network and I'm not sure why or how to fix it. I've gone into the network preferences an it always shows "airport" is on and I always show all "solid" in the little icon at the top that looks like a "fan".
Any thoughts here on why my comp doesn't seem to stay connected to the network?
Thank you.

HI,
Try updating your system software to 10.5.8 with the combo update available here.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
After the installation, repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Photosmart eStn C510a Zeen won't stay connected to network long enough to update software

My network connection to my printer works fine; but the zeen connection is intermittent. And will not stay connected long enough to download the software update that it shows is available. Sure wish I could use the USB port on the zeen to accomplish this software update. Even though I do not know if it will fix my intermittent connection problem. I have tried many resets and re-adding my network and re-syncing .....etc.

Hi HankF,
I understand you have a Photosmart C510a and the Zeen doesn't seem to be staying connected to your network very steadily. I'm sorry to hear this, but I will do my best to help you.
Is the printer's connection also intermittent? When the Zeen won't connect, are you still able to print something from the computer?
How close is the Zeen to the router? Has it always been intermittent, or is this a newer development?
Once I have this information I should be able to offer some suggestions

I stay in hotels alot and use my Airport Express to hard wire into hotel network. But hotels seem to have a sensor that will not allow any other device like my I-phone, I-pad to connect. Just one device and that's it. Is there a setting to cure this?

I stay in hotels often and use my Airport Express to hardwire into the hotel's network. This seems to work fine and allows my Macbook Pro to work wirelessly.
The problem is I cannot then hook up my Iphone or Ipad to the network. It seems the hotels have a sensor and only allow one device on their network at a time. Is there a setting in the setup of my Airport Express that might fix this problem?

If you have the AirPort Express setup in Bridge Mode, try changing the Connection Sharing setting to "Share a public IP address"
AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address
Update
You will probably get a message about a Double NAT error. Click to "ignore"
This setting might allow mutliple devices to connect and may not. It's worth a try...I have about a 60-70% success rate at hotels with this setting.
Unfortunately, as you note....hotels have become a lot smarter about connections to their network. At some point, they probably will not even allow another router to connect at all.

One of my apps won't stay open after iPad and app both had update

After updating with the new update for the iPad I updated my nook app. Now my nook app won't stay open. I've restarted my iPad multiple times and tried it with and without wifi still won't stay open.

I suggest trying the update again after an hour or two. Sometimes, the notice that an update is available comes an hour or two before the developers actually sends the revised app out to be downloaded.

Printing to a Windows shared printer, keep getting "Hold for Authentication" when I'm on the Windows shared network and can browse the computers.

I have had two MacBook Pros now, and this has been an issue in Mountain Lion and Mavericks. I've got a shared printer on the local Windows network (it's a USB printer shared via the network and the computer), and the other Windows computers in the house can print to it no problem. The Mac sees it no problem, yet whenever I try to print to it, I just get "Hold for Authentication."
Like I said, persists over Mountain Lion and Mavericks. No other computer in the house has any issues printing to it. I've installed the drivers for the printer as well (Brother HL-2240).
I've tried to follow the instructions here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23268762#23268762 but the printer isn't listed in Keychain Access.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

Well, that isn't too useful. Try this instead: Adding a printer shared by a Windows computer via SMB/CIFS.

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.

Is it possible to network Mac laptop with PC's. have three pc's wired to my network and can not see them on my laptop.

Looking to see if it is possible to view my PC's on my MacPro. Have 3 PC's networked and was hoping to link laptop also, but can not seem to do it. Have WIFI and that is working. I am a novice at this. Please help.

Hi Larry,
It should be easy.
I assume Sharing is setup on the PCs?
Find IP on computers...
http://www.helpdesk.umd.edu/topics/communication/ethernet/office/winxp/2882/
On the Mac In finder, select Go menu>Connect to Servers, use the Browse button there, or..., type in the IP of a computer, like...
smb://10.0.1.5
smb://192.168.1.3

Lost Network and Can't Create a New One

Well, after 5 years of uninterrupted and trouble-free internet with my Airport Express, I tried adding a password using a tip in this forum. Now, I've lost everything. My network is gone and all attempts to create a new one continue to fail.
I've tried resetting the Airport Express with a paperclip, only to continue receiving the blinking amber light.
Now, I have to type on a tiny phone just to get help.
I need a totally idiot-proof, step-by-step instructions, that even a very slow 1st-grader could understand on how to get online again. At this point, I don't even care if terrorists can get into my non-protected network. I just need to get online, please.
Thanks.

Are there any dead-simple tutorials to add a password?
Just use AirPort Utility to put the AirPort Express into "manual setup" mode, select the AirPort panel and the Wireless tab. "Wireless Mode" should be set to "Create a wireless network". If your other equipment is compatible, set "Wireless Security" to "WPA2 Personal", then type a password into the two field below. Then click "Update".
Every time I try it, it keeps forcing me choose things that end up ruining everything.
Can you give examples?
Do I have to make a new network and rename things?
You already have a wireless network. You can rename it in the same panel identified above.
