Wireless Kernel Panics Fixed with Airport Update

It has been 48 hours - not one kernel panic due to wirless. (and I have downloaded plenty of files, the first thing to trigger shutdown)
My heart has sunk a few times when the LCD looked like the gray veil was about to drop, relief just web page changing. I hope this lasts. The irony is that I love my MBP even more, my faith in Apple has been restored, (bit like making up - lol). I have to mention that Apple Australia were quick to reply to my email. Thank you, Apple.
Very glad I retrieved my MBP before they started taking it apart - it could be that lack of logic board stock actually saved this MBP.
Good Luck all, hope Airport Patch fixes your problem, I am curious, if Apple are aware this patch has fixed this problem, they must know what caused it in the first place.

How can I get my AirPort to work with a newly purchased modem?

I have a new AirPort that I purchased and linked to an older modem. I now have a new modem, a NetGear provided my AT&T. How can I transfer the new modem to work with the AirPort as seamlessly as possible? I spend hours attempting the other night, but grew frustrated when the AirPort never communicated with the new modem. Please help!

Are you sure you are talking about replacing a modem? Modems are usually provided by your cable/DSL provider. So am I right in understanding you got a new modem installed by AT&T? If so, then you need to start by turning off the modem, the Airport router (what model, exactly?), and the computer. Wait one minute. The Airport router should be connected to the modem using an Ethernet cable. Now turn on in order:
Modem - wait for status lights to show communication with your ISP.
Airport - wait for the status light to start blinking amber.
Computer - open Network preferences and select the type of connection port: Ethernet or Wi-Fi.
Now at this point if the Airport device is still blinking amber, then open Airport Utility, click on the larger amber dot to find out what problem is being reported, then configure it to fix the issues.

i have an imac g4 purchased Dec 2003 runnung OS 10.5.8. It runs fine with airport off, but when I turn airport on it freezes with the black page, "restart by holding power key . . ." I swapped the airport extreme card with the one in my ibook G4 (purchased same date and running same OS). No change in operation.
I am running wifi from verizon. Recently changed from mifi2200 to jetpak 4620 in a 3G location. Ibook running fine, desktop freezes. If I can boot desktop in safe mode and get airport turned off in time. then I can reboot regularly and imac runs flawlessly with no wireless.Have run disk utilities and TechTool Pro rebuild etc, but nothing has worked. How do I fine the culprit?

the power logix thing was really sad. apple changed so much after 10.4.8 that there wasn't a viable way to patch the software.
That statement is precisely why I don't believe in blindly updating the OS, especially in a non-standard machine.
We can't expect third parties to support us forever, and it is shameful to break something that works fine, except that we updated the OS....
I think that any upgrade or modification to a machine or the OS greatly increases the risk of trouble or incompatibility with current configuration and "new" system files.
After all, the component or software could only be tested as far as the current OS version when the component or software was released.
Beyond that, we are all "beta testing".
Following a beta tester protocol, and applying updates to a cloned system drive first, is a prudent way to approach updates, and not only for older, heavily modified machines.
After 10.4.8 and moreso with Leopard, the focus is primarily on Intel architecture, not PPC architecture.
Like it or not, we are all updating to the abyss of the extinction of our machines, unless we can be satisfied with the last stable version of OS that works well with our hardware and software.
I wish they would include the latest pkgs at least with software update.
Yes, having individual packages, rather than lump "OS X 10.x.x" updates would be nice.
This way, one could update as one sees fit. That is to say, for example, fix the Quicktime, but leave my Network alone, etc., etc.
In all fairness, Apple does provide for some breakdown of updates, but I believe there is much room for improvement, especially, as you point out, with regard to the core services portion of the OS.
Until then, I'll leave Software Update disabled.......

I have used Airport Time Capsule with my iMac for several years. I recently purchased a MacBook Air and when it tried to backup to Time Capsule it couldn't because Time Capsule is full. How can I now use the 3TB Airport Time Capsule to back up both?

I have used Airport Time Capsule with my iMac for a couple years. I recently purchased a MacBook Air and when it tried to backup to Time Capsule it couldn't because Time Capsule is full. How can I now use the 3TB Airport Time Capsule to back up both the iMac and MacBook Air? I don't mind losing earlier backups. I have excluded some items from backing up, but since the Airport Time Capsule is full, I can't even begin to back up the MacBook Air.

On your Mac.......
Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click on the Disks tab at the top of the window
Click Erase Disk
On the next window that appears, select the Quick Erase option, then click Erase
The operation will only take a few minutes.
Now you are ready to start new backups of both Macs. Back up one Mac first, then back up the other. Do not try to back up both Macs as the same time.

I just set up the airport wireless modem - with a comcast internet router - all wireless device connect seemlessly (3 Iphones, Mac Air, and a Sony Laptop) but my IPAD 1 no longer connects. It tries to but never connects. I have reset it and have airprot utility app downloaded on my IPAD - it shows the modem and the internet no connected?

Do you mean an Airport Extreme Base Station connected to a Comcast Modem?

How do i configure my airport to work with my other wireless router

how do i configure my airport to work with my other wireless router? I want to be able to listen to itunes through my speakers wirelessly.

Please check out the following Apple Support article for details on the many methods to use an AirPort Express for iTunes streaming.

Hi..I have an AirPort Extreme base connected to my DSL Modem and has been working fine. But I recently bought another DSL modem along with the latest Airport Express. With this one however I can't get it to connect to the Internet. Any suggestions?

Hi..I have an AirPort Extreme base connected to my DSL Modem and has been working fine. But I recently bought another DSL modem along with the latest Airport Express. With this one however I can't get it to connect to the Internet. The light on the Express is flashing green though. Does it mean I have to re-set the settings on Airport Utility? I.e. the old settings haven't been cleared yet. Any suggestions?

Let's see if I can get this straight.
You have an Airport Extreme base station that is set to "Create a wireless network" and you have the box checked for "allow this network to be extended"....
Then you have an Airport Express that is set to "Extend a wireless network" which you selected the name of your network in the box...
Correct?
See this Apple document:

The wireless unit on the right of the diagram can be either of the newer Apple base stations.
Extreme, Express, Time Capsule

HT1145 The airport extreme used with my iMac is not seeing my other devices...anybody, please?

The airport extreme used with my iMac is not seeing my iPhone 5, iPad (third generation) or my windows based PC. When I open the airport utility it shows only the internet and my iMac. It does not identify the others. Any thoughts? Thanks

Hi DaileyT,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:
When do Apple wireless devices appear in AirPort Utility?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3624
Troubleshooting missing devices
If your Apple wireless device doesn't show up in the wireless device list, try the following:
Check to see that the device is turned on.
Check that the device is connected to the network via Ethernet or in wireless range of your computer.
Make sure the device has had adequate time to start up and become discoverable. In the case of Apple wireless devices that are not connected via Ethernet, AirPort Utility scans for new devices once every 15 seconds. From the time a device becomes discoverable (typically around one minute), it could take up to another 15 seconds before the device is displayed in the list.
If you have just configured a new Apple Wireless device, upgraded the firmware, selected "Restore Default Settings..." or have hard reset and configured an Apple wireless device and it does not show up in AirPort Utility after restarting, you may have an incorrect setting. You may want to hard reset the unit and set it up again.
If you are connected to a specific wireless network, all Apple wireless devices which make up that network will appear. However, if you "Restore Default Settings..." from AirPort Utility, or hard reset a device that is out of physical wireless range of the computer, you will need to move the device closer the computer to configure it again.
Best of luck,
Mario

I have an HP Photosmart 7510 & cannot connect by WiFi, I have tried the support fix with no success.

Hi
I have an HP Photosmart 7510 & cannot connect by WiFi, I have tried the support fix with no success.
I have tried the suggested from below;
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02817031&cc=uk&dlc=en&lang=en&lc=en&product=507...
I have not tried to assign the static IP address suggested in step 6 on the web link above, I am not that technical & do not fully understand how to perform this task & am surprised HP expect retail client to follow this, if is a bit technical I think you must agree.
Anyway, the WiFi or Wireless blue led is blinking.
If I try to discover my wireless network, it is not displaye like it used , nor are my neighbors, my mobile Samsung Galaxy S displays my network and my neighbors when the phone in placed by my 7510.
When I try to enter the SSID & key, my 7510 times out without connecting to my router.
My pc is connected directly to my router (Buffalo) and I use a Fujitsu Desktop running Win 7 32bit.
By the way, I have done a "Factory reset" to my 7510 & this did not help at all.
Can anyone help?
Is my 7510 faulty?
Thanks in advance.

I saw your post and forwarded it to the right people for their review. You should hear back from someone shortly via private message on this Forum.

Is Airport Express compatible with ADSL2 modem?

I already have an ADSL2 Modem (with both ethernet and usb cables) which was provided by the ISP. I am looking out for a router since my current Linksys router is giving problems. I am thinking of purchasing the Airport Express since it gives me the option of using my printer and ipod wirelessly as well.
I just wanted to clarify if the modem will be compatible with the Airport Express. Also, if the Airport Express can be used as a proper wireless router for accessing the internet wirelessly through my MacBook Air.
Can anyone help please!
Thanks.

Thanks. I checked on my modem setup page and PPP over Ethernet ( PPPoE ) is selected. Does the AirPort Express work with this? Also, how is the connectivity? What is the difference between G & N. Previously I had a Linksys Wireless G router. The Airport Express seems to be N router? Will that create any problems. I just want to clarify before I buy it.
Thanks a lot for answering.

Does Mavericks have the problem fixed with working with the Dell UltraSharp U3014 30 inch monitor?

Does Mavericks have the problem fixed with working with the Dell UltraSharp U3014 30 inch monitor?

I have this (or a similar) issue and I did notice something interesting. After I boot into Windows via Bootcamp (where I have the U3014 specfic driver installed) and then reboot into MacOS X (Mavericks) the monitor works flawlessly.
I would hazard a guess that this means bootcamp is retaining the driver used in Windows. Kind of the reverse of the TB GBE adapter driver issue.
To explain my issue for anyone else: the monitor flicks on and off as if the connection was poor. Connecting via HDMI. Connection is fine and as stated, everything works fine in Bootcamp.

Does airport express work with garage band in lion?

Actually I know it can work and there are apps out there to make it work but I heard a rumor that Apple was going to allow functionaliy between the two in Lion. So my question is...
Will Airport Express work with Garage Band in Lion or do I have to buy third party software?

I believe the HP 2840 can be connected either via Ethernet or USB. If connected to the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) by USB, only the basic printing functions will be shared out; the scanning, faxing, copying features are not supported.
If the AX is configured so that its Ethernet port is enabled, the it may be possible to gain all of the printer's features by connecting it to the AX by Ethernet. In this case, the printer will use its own Print server to share out all of these features.

AirPort Disk - Issue with Windows Vista Ultimate

I setup an AirPort Extreme network, with a shared USB Drive and so far I've only found one issue.
When attempting to create new files and renaming them, or rename pre-existing files on the shared USB Drive using Windows Vista Ultimate I get the following Yes/No dialog:
"The Z:\ folder does not exist. The file may have been moved or deleted. Do you want to create it?"
Then there's information about the mapped drive. If I click "Yes" in the dialog, then the dialog goes away for a moment then pops back up. I can't create a new file directly on the shared AirPort Disk, nor can I modify or create and rename new files on the disk without getting stuck in the loop.
I can, however, create a new file locally on the Vista box and copy it up, and I can even create a new directory locally with files and copy them up without issue.
Now, the issue does not happen when I use my MacBook or my XP machine. This issues seems to be a Windows Vista issue only, and I haven't seen anyone else reporting it.
Here's information about the disk share implementation:
- The disk is password protected (turning on accounts really breaks the ability of Windows Vista to work with the disk)
- The disk is Mac Formatted with Case Sensitivity, and Journaling
This works like a top for OS X and Windows XP, just not Vista. I'd like to getting working properly for all machines.
If anyone's got some advice on this one, I'd love to hear it.

Here's a little more information regarding the issue:
- It's an AirPort Extreme Wireless Router with Firmware ver. 7.1
- The Windows Vista Ultimate PC has the most recent Microsoft patches to-date, and has the most recent Apple Airport Utilities Software to-date.

Airport in conjunction with Linksys

Im using an airport in conjunction with a linksys that is not wireless. The linksys is connected to 3 PC's via Ethernet, and the 4th port on the linksys is plugged into the airport. This produces internet that has no problems with our apple laptop. however i was wondering if it is possible to share files between the laptop and the PC's with this configuration. If it is possible i havnt been able to figure out how to do it. any information on how to use this configuration and share files or printers would be greatly appreciated. Also any suggestions if there is another way to use this configuration by changing which is plugged into what without purchase of any new items, i.e. connect the airport to the broadband connection and the linksys to the airport (the reverse of what it is currently).

Hello sundaydrive. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!

You would just need to reconfigure the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a bridge to allow wireless devices connected to it to "see" the wired devices connected to the Linksys. In a bridge configuration, the AX will "pass thru" the NAT/DHCP services that are provided by the Linksys router.
To set up the AX as a bridge, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, using the AirPort Admin Utility (located in the \Applications\Utilities folder), make these settings:
Network tab
o Distribute IP addresses (unchecked)
o Apply the new setting.
