Airport base station restarting when attempting to contect to Airport Disk!

Hi All,
I have a new AEBS 802.11n - and am trying to set it up to share my external HDD over the network. The airport recognizes the drive and asks me if I'd like to login. I have it set to share drives with it's own password I've set and I've checked that numerous times, the password I'm inputting is correct.
However, when I try to connect, after I put my password in, the base station will restart itself and I'll get an error saying that the password I put in is invalid. What can I do to make this work?

All,
I am having the same issue. When I try to copy files the airport resets and locks up the finder. If you let it go a few minutes the copy operation will eventually time out. The AEBS resets and show solid amber. Then, it starts blinking amber and eventually changes to green. I opened the airport utility while it was blinking and it said the disk needed repair. I hooked the disk up directly via usb to my macbook and ran the disk repair. It said that their were no errors on the disk. The disk functions perfectly hooked up direct the the macbook. It is formated in HFS+ (having previously been the startup disk to another mac). My first thought is that there is a firmware issue with the airport. Maybe it is having problems with certain usb drive interfaces or something?

I can no longer access my Airport Express Base Station. When I plug it in, it keeps flashing orange. I cannot see it in the Airport Utility.

How do I fix this

If you're comfortable resetting all settings, unplug it, hold down the reset button and keep holding it in as you plug it back in - keep holding it for another 10-20s until the amber light flashes
Then, open airport utility, now you should be able to see the device either on-screen or in the upper left under 'other wi-fi devices'

I have an old Airport Extreme that I want to password protect. I being told that Airport Utility 5.6 is needed to manage the base station. When I download it and try to install that utility I told that it is not compatible with OS X 10.7.4

The odds are that you downloaded AirPort Utility 5.6.1.....which will only work with Leopard and Snow Leopard Macs.
Since your post indicates that you are using Lion 10.7.4, you need the correct utility for Lion. The link is below:

What IP address does the TC have and what IP does the computer have?
We need more info as we really have no idea what your network looks like.
Modem router, model, type of broadband?
TC setup as bridge or router?
Is the computer getting internet via the TC?
Are you using wireless or ethernet?
Have you set IPv6 correctly to local link in the computer on whichever network client is doing the connection?
Did this work the first time for backup and has now failed? If so simply reboot the TC. It is a constant bug that the TC is lost to the network.

Mini crashes and restarts when attempting to play songs

Hi, I just received this refurb 4gb mini(from the online apple store) and I was able to install eveything ok... but...after I loaded some songs onto it and went to play them, the darn thing crashes and goes back to the apple logo and reloads itself... I've gone through all of the troubleshooting and have updated iTunes and my iPod, tried restoring etc. and same problem. I just select a song and sometimes it will freeze on that song and it has to be reset. I've tried using songs that I ripped from cds freshly with iTunes and other that I've had on my computer(ripped from windows in mp3 format). The songs are all stereo and 44.1kHz
Any suggestions before I send it back?

Web application restarts when JSP or .class files on disk change

Hello,
I am deploying a Spring enabled web application into WLS 12 using IntelliJ11.
I am building an exploded war in a target directory and have my WLS domain's config.xml set up to pick up the application from that directory directly. I am not using a staging approach.
The application starts up fine in debug mode in IntelliJ 11. I am able to make changes to Java classes, hit Ctrl+F9 to "Make the Project" and changed Java classes get reloaded and I see the changes I have made.
All this happens without WLS reloading the web application, which is as it should be.
When I try to make changes to JSPs, I start seeing a different behavior. This is how I'm changing my JSPs:
1) I edit the file in IntelliJ.
2) I hit Ctrl+F9....nothing happens, I don't see my changes in the JSP, I don't see any web application restarts. This is because with a Ctrl+F9, IntelliJ does not update the JSP in the target directory.
3) When I hit Ctrl+F10 instead, i.e. "Update application", IntelliJ presents me with a choice to "Update resources", "Update classes & resources", "redeploy", "restart the server".
I choose "Update resources"
When I do this, I see on the file system that IntelliJ has changed the JSP in the target directory. As it should. WLS is also using this directory, so it should see the changed JSP and recompile and show me my changes.
Now when I access the application, I see varying behavior.
Sometimes I see my JSP changes just fine and sometimes instead of seeing my changes, my entire web application starts shutting down and attempts to restart. Note, I said the web application and not the WLS server.
It's almost as if I've hit a Redeploy.
I have disabled "Fast Swap", as I cannot get my Spring application context to load when this is enabled. So, I'm just using Hot Swap.
Why is WLS restarting my web application once in a while when my JSPs change?
And this is not restricted to JSP files only. If I choose the option to "Update classes & resources", any Java classes I've changed get updated on the disk in the target directory. Now WLS once in a while decides that it needs to restart my web application. I can get away with hitting Ctrl+F9, which does not update the .class on the disk and only in the JVM, and see my changes.
But I have no such option for JSPs. So hot swap essentially is erratic for JSPs in my deployment in WLS 12.

There is a workaround for this. Not pretty, but it works for me.
Instead of having IntelliJ update the exploded war when I do a Make (Ctrl+F9), I tell IntelliJ to NOT do any updates to the artifact on the disk.
That is, just compile. As explained before, that works for changes to Java classes. IntelliJ/Java does a hot swap in memory, so your Java changes are seen.
Now for JSPs. Write an ant target that copies the JSPs into the deployed exploded war.
For some reason, when ant does the copying, WLS doesn't freak out and decide to restart the web application. I have no idea why. I did a directory compare when IntelliJ did the copying, and the only thing that had changed was the JSP I had modified.
Anyways that's one solution.
The other is, as my colleague tested out, run in Production mode, and have the jsp reload check parameter set to 0, which means check the JSPs always. This is needed because in Production mode, -1 is the default value, which means never check for JSP changes.

Computer restarts when trying to install SL on disk partition

Hi.
I just repartitioned my Macintosh HD using disk utility. I've created a new 120GB partition "Macintosh HD 2.
I've been having problems installing Snow Leopard on the new partition (using the SN install disk.)
It seems to be installing for about 20 minutes then the computer restarts.
It gets to the gray screen and starts beeping angrily at me.
At that point my only recourse is to restart the computer, eject the install disk and try again.
I'd been hoping to use the new partition to try out FCPX and Lion before I upgrade my main hard disk.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much in advance

Hi db2
That off the shelf MS-DOS / FAT-32 drive needs to re-partitioned GUID Partition Table / Mac OS Extended (Journaled) before you can install OS X and Startup your Intel iMac from it.
1. Boot from your original install or retail SL DVD and open Disk Utility.
2. Highlight the new HD in the list of drives and select the Partition tab.
3. Under Volume Scheme select 1 Partition and click on the Options... button.
4. Select GUID Partition Table in the drop down window and click OK.
5. Set the Format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Apply button.
6. Once thats done, then you can do a clean SL Install, Restore from TM , your old HD or Bootable Clone.

How to restart base station from airport utility? I used to be able to do it remotely
I currently use a Mac Pro 10.8.4 and have a time machine for wireless 6.3 (630.34). Sometimes I cannot connect to the internet and use network preferences to diagnose the issue. This results in being told to restart the wireless. The airport utility includes the drop down option of restarting but is not clickable so I can't choose it.
With my prior macbook and same time capsule, etc if i had problems connecting to the internet I would run network diagnostics to help out. This included clicking on the airport utility ---> base station --> restart. This worked most of the time.
Bottom line, is there something I am missing in not being able to restart the wi-fi remotely? ]
Thanks in advance

You are likely forgetting a step.
Open AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon
Click Edit in the small window that appears
Now click the Base Station menu.....top of the screen....not the Base Station "tab" in the center of the screen
Click Restart

Airport Express Can't See Base Station

I have an airport extreme base station that has two computers normally connected to my network wirelessly (iMac G4 and Powerbook G4) which have worked fine for months. After completing an apple security update this evening on both computers the Powerbook G4 did not automatically connect to the network upon restart as it normally does. The iMac G4 started up fine and is how I am posting this note. The powerbook on the toolbar shows the network I want to join but when I select it (and and see the check mark next to it) I still cannot access the internet. When I run the Airport admin utility it cannot see any base stations (despite the iMac sitting 1 foot away and working perfectly). When I manually give it the IP address and password it says "unable to read the configuation of the selected base station." When I try the Airport Setup Assistant it also lists my network as one that I can choose but when I click on the "continue" button it says "unable to establish a network connection" and that my computer could not connect to the internet. Help!!! I have tried every angle I can thing of to get the Powerbook to connect like it did a few hours ago.

I have just discovered the same problem. After downloading the latest security update my Powerbook G4 [10.3.9] can not "see" any base station or express and/or connect to my network. The G5 running 10.4.5 works fine and sees all. Everything had been working just fine before the update then... Have tried all the work arounds I can think of and wasted a great deal of time. Any answers out there?

Airport Express extending Base Station network very slow.

Hi,
I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and an Express, both of which are 802.11N. Currently I have my express connected and extending the network hosted by the Base Station but when I am in a location where I use the Airport Express rather than the Base Station it is extremely slow. If I am on a call on Skype for example the calls drop constantly or I have latencies over 2000 if I am playing a game. But Once I am in range of the Base Station my wi-fi is great. Anybody have any ideas as to why?

What are the steps to extend the network using the Airport Exprss with a Linksys router? I have the Airport Express working with my network (a Linksys WRT54G) but have never attempted to use it to extend the network; instead, it just works for Airtunes currently.
In addition, I can't seem to get Airport Express Assistant to work on my Macbook Pro. It says there's an error when it tries to connect to my Airport card, which is odd, since it works fine.
Any ideas?

MacBook Pro can't find AirPort Express base station

My friend gave me an AirPort Express and I've set it up as a base station before. But the other day it was having problems and I reset it. Since then I have not been able to set up a base station. When I try to set up a new base station through the AirPort Setup Assistant I get the message "The AirPort Setup Assistant was unable to find your base station." I have tried soft resets, hard resets, and even factory resets, but I can't get the base station set up. Any suggestions?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I face a similar problem - the default name of the Airport Express is shown, Internet-Access works, but no way to administrate the Station - it is "not found", although it displays the name of it before. Frustration!

Windows Vista trouble finding airport base station

I recently bought an AirPort Extreme 802.11n. It was easily able to connect it to my mac, but when I try to connect it to my Windows Vista desktop computer, the base station in the airport utility software cannot be found. It finds the internet from the base station, but when I try to connect to it, it says windows cannot connect to the internet. I set up a linksys wi-fi usb, but it still cannot find the base station. The pc is only two years old. Please help.

I had the same trouble with my Vista pc. I had set it up on the Airport Extreme network, but did a firmware update and lost the PC connection. I rolled it back to the previous version, but it was still intermittent or not seeing the Airport at all. I went in to the Airport Utility and changed the Channel setting from Automatic to Manual and selected another channel. This worked and my PC could see the network OK and connect.
I'm still having trouble connecting to my MAC from the Vista Pc, but I can connect to the Vista from my MAC. Both can see the network/internet OK.

Can't read airport express base station configuration wirelessly

The setup:
2TB time capsule that takes the ethernet feed from the cable modem for internet access.
Airport express 802.11g plugged into speakers for Airtunes. No ethernet connection, just a wireless network.
The problem:
I can only read the airport express base station configuration when the mac is plugged into the time capsule by ethernet cable. This does not happen with the other mac I have on the network. It can connect to both the time capsule and the airport express without any problems. So unless I'm plugged in, iTunes and airtunes doesn't connect to the base station, and neither can Airfoil 3.5 or Airport Utility. Airport Utility does see the airport express. It just doesn't read the configuration wirelessly.
I think this had something to do with elgato eyetv not liking airfoil, but I can't say for sure.
Any thoughts?

When I switch it on all three lights flash, but then after a while the middle one stays on and nothing happens.
You posted in the AirPort Express area, but it sounds like you have an AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS)--correct?
If so, let's start by performing a complete power recycling of your network components to make sure that the BT Voyager router "recognizes" the AEBS.
Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
- Power-off the BT Voyager modem, AEBS, & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the BT Voyager modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the computer(s)
If this fails to get the modem to "recognize" the Internet router, then try the "Full" version.
Modem/Router Power ReCycling - Full
- Power-off the BT Voyager modem, AEBS, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
- Power-on the BT Voyager modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
- Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the computer(s)

Airport Utility no longer sees any of my four base stations... help?

Hi all,
I have four base stations, one extreme and three expresses. They have been working perfectly.
I needed to reset (to default) one of the Express stations. Upon restarting the EXP, it appeared as expected in Airport Utility with default base station info. I configured the EXP to extend an existing wireless network, then the base station had to restart to accept the settings.
The base station restarted and came up with a green light, but now Airport Utility cannot find any of the base stations. I have rescanned 20 times, quit and restarted Airport Utility, rebooted the computer, and still I come up with no base stations listed in AU.
The interesting thing is that all four base stations are working perfectly (green lights) and I am connected to the internet wirelessly.
Any thoughts as to how I can get Airport Utility to do its job?
(And Yes, I rebooted all of the stations)
Thanks in advance.
Matt

Maybe it's just Bonjour has stopped working.
Try connecting with the default IP address <10.0.1.1> from Menu > File > Configure Other ...
Note: Change <10.0.1.1> to what ever your default DHCP address is.
