Airport Disk can't connect since I upgraded to 10.5.1

On 3 different macs, I cannot click on the Aiport Extreme icon in the left bar in the finder, and then click on the disk. It does not seam to mount.
I found a woukaround, in the Finder preferences, I tick the box that shows connected drives on the desktop, and the connected Airport Disks are accessible from there.
p.

Had the same problem myself. Fortunately, I had good input and feedback to figure out what was happening.

Try mounting the disk directly on your computer (plug it into your machine), then run a Repair Disk in Disk Utility. Reconnect the disk and then restart the Airport Extreme. It should show up now.
By the way... ejecting the disk before putting your machine to sleep or turning it off help stop this issue from recurring.

  • Airport problems - can't connect to home wireless network

    I am stumped. i made the upgrade to quicktime ( it's not 7.4.5?) and suddenly airport didn't work. i input the wep password, and it returns, There was an error. When I try through Network Assist it says that the password is incorrect. Which of course, is not true. This same upgrade seems to have also created keychain issues.
    I can connect without problem when hardwired through ethernet, however, I need the wireless to work.
    Thanks, Thomas
    ps. I'm using the same Linksys BEFW 11S4 that I have for years...

    First of all, I want to say that i"m surprised in 24 hours or so, no one had anything to say on this subject. To help anyone else who has this problem, I will give the answer for I have solved the problem ( desperation has a way of forcing one to figure it out by the old trial and error method).
    What occurred was that some how, the keychain document for my computer ( the home document, not login nor system) was inadvertently taken out. It was in another folder, but, I didn't realize what it was since it did not have .keychain in the name. Just my computer name. I got a hunch and put it back into place. And, suddenly Safari asked for the keychain password ( which had not been working either) and i put in the computers password and it was accepted. Airport was still not connect, but, when I manually input the wep password, it accepted it and turned on. What puzzles me is why the fact that there was no keychain home document, interfered with the manual inputting of the correct WEP password in airport. That I don't understand. Nonetheless, I am thrilled to be done with this all. And to have learned yet another mac secret. ( what ever that is). So, thanks to myself and I hope that someone is helped by what I have written here.

  • RDC not connecting since Yosemite upgrade...

    Since upgrading to x yosemite, my remote desktop connection is no longer connecting.  VPN connects fine, just can't connect to the server through Microsoft RDC for Mac.  Any suggestions?

    Just to update my own situation, I applied the Yosemite patch (10.10.1) but it still hasn't helped with the RDP issue.
    Also, although I got it to work a few times, there are still problems with the RDP connection. But I have come up with a workaround which seems to be reliable.
    I can't get RDP to connect to the remote windows machine (Win 7 professional) using the machine hostname, only by using the IP address.  The Win machine I connect to changes IP address regularly.  So what I do is, after making the VPN connection, I open a new terminal window (must be one started a few seconds after establishing the VPN connection) and run "nslookup" to find the IP address of the machine I want to connect to.
    Then I have to edit the RDP connection details to use the IP address it's given me (if it's changed since last time I used it).
    I can then start RDP and connect successfully.
    So it looks to me that there's still a problem with Microsoft RDP 8.0.10 and Yosemite.
    NB - if you're using Cisco Anyconnect for the VPN connection, there is a new version which has been marked specifically as "Yosemite compatible".  I've installed this too, though I was still able to use the above technique with an older version of AnyConnect.

  • AirPort Disk has stopped automounting since 10.4.9 update

    Before I installed the 10.4.9 update, my AirPort disk would mount on startup - the machine would boot, after a few seconds pick up the network, and then the disk would mount and show on the desktop. Ever since the update, it boots and connects to the network, but won't mount.
    In this state, the AirPort Disk menu shows "No Disks Found". If I open the AirPort Disk Utility, it shows "Automatically Discover AirPort Disks" checked. It also shows my disk, and when selected shows "Connect with password" checked.
    The only way I am able to connect is to un-check "Automatically Discover AirPort Disks", close the utility, reopen it, and reselect. Then the disk pops up in the finder.
    Has anyone else run into this? Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    It has never really worked properly in the first place but what I have done to get it to mount is either:
    1. Reboot the router
    or
    2. Turn off the disk, and then turn it back on
    or
    3. Both 1. and 2.

  • Why (out of the blue) airport extreme can't connect to the internet?

    Suddenly the airport extreme on my macbook pro (10.6.8) decided to completely stop working. the modem/router work fine as i tested them with another computer and i've brought my macbook to another house and tested it there and the same thing happens.  if i'm hardwired via ethernet cable the internet works like normal. which is what i'm doing now.
    the wireless icon on the top of the screen shows full strength and when i click on it it shows my network with a check mark next to it but if i try to open a browser window it won't work. opening network preferences shows that airport is not connected and it does not have an IP address and can't connect to the internet. if i open airport utility (5.6.1) it says "airport utility unable to find any airport wireless devices".
    everything was working fine a few days ago.
    what's going on?

    The same thing happened to me, and I took it to get looked at and they even replaced my base station, but then it kept disconnecting. I finally  found the answer that solved my problem, but now I can't find the post that solved it to direct you toward. So I'll try to re-create it as best as I can.
    Like that user, I have Xfinity. The other user had received this assistance from Comcast tech support (Which is sad that Comcast was more helpful than ... anyone ... but especially Apple), so if it doesn't work they should be able to help fill the gaps. Chances are, you may be better off getting assistance from your ISP than from Apple.
    Basically, Comcast switched over to IPv6, and it needs to be accounted for or else the AEBS will drop the signal from the DSL modem.
    1. Open Airport Utility
    2. Click Edit on your AEBS icon.
    3. Click the Internet tab.
    4. Click Internet Options.
    5. Make sure IPv6 Mode is set to "Tunnel."
    6. Click the "Enable IPv6 Connection Sharing" radio button so that it's active.
    7. Save changes, Update the new settings, and let the AEBS restart with the new changes.
    I fixed it a couple of days ago, and it's worked perfectly since then.
    Here's the post that fixed it. https://discussions.apple.com/message/21916742#21916742
    Here's the Comcast information the post refers to. http://www.comcast6.net/index.php/6to4config#faq3

  • AirPort Disk wont show connected USB hard drive

    I just bought an AirPort Extreme Base station (802.11n). When I was first settings things up, my WD 250GB MyBook showed up in the connected drives list. However, before I could mess with that, I had to do a hard reset to get my WDS up and running. Now, the drive doesn't show up at all in AirPort utility or in AirPort disk utility. Also, in AirPort disk utility, the name of the router appears as the default name - it wont recognize the new name that I assigned to the router or for the SSID. I don't know if this has anything to do with the fact that my hard drive isn't recognized.
    I've also attempted using other drives - with no success - and even reformated my WB 250GB drive. No luck.
    Any ideas?

    The simplest solution is to use another Mac or PC that is still using a 5.x version of AirPort Utility.
    ... or buy a Time Capsule. You can't use an original Extreme for Time Machine backups.
    As reliable as they were, there are many reasons the old "round" Extremes have become obsolete, especially if you're using Mountain Lion.

  • Shared Disk - can't connect with Fast User Switching

    Hi,
    I've created a Disk on my Time Capsule, and shared it via "File Sharing", it's secured "with a disk password", and is working well ... sort of. I can connect to it with no issues, and so can my wife via her MacBook Pro. However, if I'm signed into my account, and she accesses her account using Fast User Switching, she can't connect to the shared volume. She has to Disconnect, and then reauthenticate, and after doing so, I can't connect to the shared volume. I must Disconnect, and reconnect. Why is this? Is there an authentication file that's set up some where on the root of the shared computer, that's preventing us from being able to signin to the shared volume? Or is something broken?
    Thanks!

  • Airport Extreme can't connect to Internet

    Hi all,
    I recently inherited a 4th gen airport extreme base station and i cant connect to the internet wirelessly. The light is green, the comcast motorola modem is working fine, but when i open a webpage, nothing comes up on any of my devices (MacBook running lion, iPhone, playstation).  I've reset/unplugged the modem and soft/hard/factory reset the airport extreme a hundred times, sometimes leaving them unplugged for 30 minutes, but no luck. Sometimes after a reset the Internet will work for a few minutes but then suddenly stop eventhough I'm still "connected" and the light's green.
    The airport worked perfectly fine at my friend's house who also used a Comcast modem. And my modem worked great for the last 6 months with my 1st gen airport extreme that I am trying to replace with this malfunctioning 4th gen. Called Comcast and they said the modem looks great on their end, no signal cut outs and Internet connected. Other things I've tried but without luck:
    - plug in laptop directly to modem (internet works) write down working DNS addresses and put those in to the airport utility manually.
    - renew dhcp lease which sometimes makes it work for 30 seconds
    - update firmware to latest
    - downloaded air radar and made sure channels used were clear
    - turn on only 5 ghz channel
    - of note, I own no cordless phones or other 2.4 ghz wireless electronics that I'm aware of.
    Please help, this is driving me crazy! Thank you so much in advance.
    Happy Holidays

    I am having a similar issue in that I have intermittent Internet connectivity. I found using Mozilla's Camino browser as a work around, or I switch to one of my other AirPort Expresses. This started happening on Friday the 9th. I am not sure if it is the AirPort Extreme or the AirPort Disk Utility software I installed.

  • Airport Extreme can't connect to MacBook Pro running Windows XP

    I have a new Airport Extreme Base Station and an intel MacBook pro that is 6 months old and dual boot. The AEBS is set up with WPA2 and AEs. All works well for both MacOS (Leopard) and WindowsXP in wired mode and wireless works fine for the Mac side. When i run Windows, i can see the wireless network but i can't seem to configure it to actually connect to the network. I set it to WPA-PSK/AES, but it never can connect, and when i go back to check the settings in zeroconfig (the Windows connection manager) the connection is always reset to "WEP". Any suggestions? BTWQ, we can't connect my son's laptop (Windows XP ) either.

    Try changing the encryption, also make sure the computer is fully updated. Windows Xp computers do not all have native WPA2 capability. Try disabling security and see if that works. If it does not, it may be an interfernce problem on one computer. Try changing the wireless channel to 3 or 9

  • Airport Express Can't Connect on a Windows XP Machine!  PLEASE Help!

    I recently purchased an Apple Airport Express. In my household we have four computers, 3 Mac's and 1 PC. I set it all up, and of course, the PC can't connect to the Airport Express.
    So you probably ask yourself why I haven't gone to iFelix's site yet. I have, many, many times tried to do what he says. Doesn't work at all, no matter which way I put it.
    I got the equivalent key and everything and it still doesn't work on the PC. Honestly, I have no idea what to do and I'm getting extremely frustrated. PLEASE help me! I don't even know where to get started anymore.

    For what it is worth, I just spent the last two days trying to get a brand new Airport Extreme (N/gig) and Airport Express working at home with many Windows XP and WDS problems. I also couldn't get my PSP to connect via WPA.
    I have a Cisco 1200 AP working with b/WEP, but bought the Apple products to move to G/N/WPA and bridge from my office (DSL location) to wired devices in my living room. AirTunes was an anticipated plus. I started out with WEP "transitional" as my Extreme security setting.
    At first my work laptop (XP with Funk Odyssey WiFi client SW), an old PocketPC and Wii were the only things that would connect to the Extreme base station. My PSP would work, but only via WEP. Our two other wireless XP devices would see the new network but would seem to fail at encryption. I also could not get the Express to connect with the Extreme for WDS.
    Switching from WEP "transitional" to WPA/WPA2 Personal did the trick. The two other Windows XP devices worked all of a sudden via WPA, and the WDS/bridging to the Express kicked in. The bad news is the PocketPC only supports WEP, but all the other devices (including two XP devices) worked without a problem. (Hmmm... I think my Nintendo DS also only supports WEP...)

  • Airport Extreme can't connect to USB modem

    I have recently bought an Airport Extreme Base Station. However, I now realise that I cannot set it up with my present ADSL Modem - which is a Speedtouch USB - owing to the modem only being able to connect to my Mac via a USB cable and I therefore can't connect it to the Airport's Ethernet WAN port.
    Is there any way round this? My ISP is Orange, and they have been extremely unhelpful when I've contacted them in the past with Mac-related problems. I know I could change ISP but this seems a lot of hassle that I could do without; my broadband connection has always been fine hence I have no issue with Orange on that front.
    Is there anything I can do to connect the existing USB modem to the Airport?
    Thanks.

    You might want to take a look at something like this Broadband Adapter.
    I haven't used this device, so can't advise on whether it will work satisfactorily or not for you, but did notice that it claims to be compatible with Orange services.

  • AirPort Express - can't connect wirelessly after set up

    Hi,
    I've had an AirPort Express for about 4 months now to stream music wirelessly within my home network (inc. wireless router).
    The connection with the AirPort Express has always been.....problematic when streaming through iTunes or AirFoil the connection drops out often and many times it's given up entirely.
    I thought I'd solved this problem by plugging in an ethernet cable and resetting the device to factory defaults and setting up from scratch. However, once I unplugged the ethernet cable I can't connect via Airport util wirelessly at all.
    After reading the manual from cover to cover, again I thought it could have been a problem with where the airport express was located (fairly near the stereo and close to a couple of power cables.
    I moved the device to a plug socket on its own with no electrical devices within a metre of the device and nothing plugged into it. I plugged in the ethernet cable and went through the set up from factory defaults again. When the device restarted I could briefly (for a couple of seconds) connect to it wirelessly before it could no longer be recognised by Airport utils. I can access the device via ethernet cable, but wireless (which is why I bought it in the first place) will not work.
    Tried soft resets, hard resets, restoring it to factory defaults and am now at the end of my tether.
    Can someone please help me with this?

    Hello, Im not a techie, but, if its the same thing as I have....the ethernet port is for your ISP WAN cable. Your laptop should connect wirelessly. After resetting the router, use Airport Utility to rename it, set up a password for the router and the wireless network before other things.
    This line from your post throws me for a loop ). "However, once I unplugged the ethernet cable I can't connect via Airport util wirelessly at all." I'm not sure what to make of that, unless you connected your laptop to router with a cable and tried to connect wirelessly also.
    Anyway,,,,,on the express router there is a ethernet port for your ISP WAN connection, a usb port for printer and a jack to connect your stereo. Your laptop should connect to the router wirelessly.

  • I5 can not connect wifi after upgraded to IOS 6.1.2

    i5 can not connect to my laptop share-wifi after upgraded to IOS 6.1.2, while it's ok before upgrade. How can I solve it?

    FIXED!!!!
    I have iPhone 4s running 6.1.2 Everything worked great before the lovely update. My wifi did the same thing that everyone else's seems to be doing. It would not recognize my home router.
    Evidently, in the update, Apple changed how the "Ask to Join Networks" button operates. Previously, I didn't have to have the button toggled to on, my phone would just automatically lock onto my router. I have fought and fought with this update. I have done several "network settings resets". I have even restored my phone twice. I have tried every crackpot, and not so crackpot, suggestion on these forums and NOTHING has worked. I could go to settings and connect to the router each time I used the phone, but it would only stay connected for a few minutes.
    Today, I toggled the "Ask to Join Networks" button to "on", then opened Safari. My phone then asked if I wanted to join the network, I responded with "join". My phone has been on wifi all day! I left home and came back several hours later, and FINALLY... my phone locks on automatically.
    Go to settings>, Wi-Fi>, toggle "Ask to Join Networks" button to "on". Then click on your router/network in the list.
    I realize that everyone's problems are not the exact problems I had, but maybe this will help some of you having problems.
    Good Luck!

  • Airport Express - can't connect to it

    Everything was fine, but now I can't connect to it.
    I can still see the network as an option, but when
    I select to my network and enter my password it
    times out.
    Three computers on the network, an apple tv, and
    an iPhone, none can get on the network. All either timeout
    or suggest an incorrect password.
    The light on the aiport is still green.
    Airport Utility can't find any airport wireless devices.
    I've already unplugged and replugged the airport twice.
    I've also held down the little button on the airport with a
    paperclip, all with no change to the situation.
    And it's really hard to post to this discussion board from
    an iPhone.

    A few pointers:
    If you've reset the AirPort Express, it's now broadcasting a wireless network with the name of Apple Network xxxxxx, where the "x" could be a letter or number. Click the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of your screen and look for this network. You need to be on this network in order for AirPort Utility to be able to communicate with the AirPort Express. It will never "see" it unless you are on the default Apple Network xxxxxx.
    If no luck, you may need to perform a factory default reset. To do this:
    Power down the Express for a few moments
    Hold in the reset button and while you continue to hold it in, plug the Express back in to power
    Continue holding the reset button until the amber light blinks more quickly
    The light on the Express should stay solid amber for 20-30 seconds, then start to blink slowly.
    Repeat the first step above.
    If AirPort Utility still cannot "see" the Express, your last resort is as follows:
    Make sure AirPort Utility is open
    Click the File menu at the upper left of the screen near the Apple icon
    Select Configure Other
    In the Address field enter "10.0.1.1" (without quotes)
    In the password field enter "public" (without quotes)
