Airport doesn't recognize my network and/or shuts off.

When I use my Macbook 2008 with Snow Leopard, the Airport often shuts off  and/or doesn't recognize my network. What usually happens is first the network isn't recognized, then it shuts off completely. I have another Macbook 2008, same model, but with Leopard and no problems. They are both the same: 2.4 ghz core 2 duo.

Well, I found my own solution. Updated the Firefox server and problem solved.

  • I am trying to hook up my Airport Express to my current network and AirPort Extreme but keep getting the same error message: "This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information."

    I am trying to hook up my Airport Express to my current network and AirPort Extreme but keep getting the same error message: "This version of AirPort Utility doesn’t support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information." Any thoughts?

    This sounds as if you have an older AirPort Express that is no longer supported by the newer Mavericks operating system.
    To check and see if  that might be the case, locate the model number on the side of the AirPort Express. It will start with an "A" followed by four numbers. Hard to see in the faint print.....so you may need reading glasses or a magnifying class to see the model number clearly.
    Model numbers A1084 and A1088 of the AirPort Express are no longer supported by AirPort Utility in Mavericks.
    You will need to use a Mac running Leopard, Snow Leopard, or a PC to be able to administer the older AirPort Express.

  • I just changed the channel on my Airport Extreme and now can't get the Airport Express to recognize the network.  What do?

    I changed the channel on Airport Extreme to get away from interference.  Now I can't get my airport express to recognize the network.  What do I do?

    I would suggest that you perform a "hard" reset on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), and then, using the AirPort Utility, reconfigure it "join" or "extend" the AirPort Extreme as appropriate for your networking requirements.

  • Airport doesn't recognize Wifi at night.

    During the daylight hours everything works fine. My airport connects to my wifi network and recognizes surrounding ones. At night (some time between 8 and 10 it seems) it not only refuses to connect to my network, but it does not recognize any networks. Once or twice it shows mine but when I tried to connect it says there was a connection timeout.

    A cordless phone in the area, microwave oven, or another nearby network is interfering with your wireless. Unfortunately, not much you can do about that.
    If you have your own network setup, try experimenting with different channels on the router to see if that may help. If you are still running 10.5.x on your computer, you can download iStumbler, www.istumbler.net and use it to identify other nearby networks and the channels they are operating on. Change your channel to a setting this is as far from the other channels as possible.
    Sometimes just moving the computer to a different location in the room can make a big difference. Wireless is a strange animal.

  • I have an iPhone 5s on a windows 8 platform. iTunes is 11.1.4.62, iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone and I am unable to sync.

    I have an iPhone 5s on a windows 8 platform. iTunes is 11.1.4.62, iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone and I am unable to sync. After the last iTunes update my phone wasn't recongnized and the phone asks if I want to trust the computer everytime I connect it. Other programs can access the photos and recognize the iPhone 5 but not iTunes.

    Try holding down CTRL as you launch iTunes to see if it will repair the drivers.
    Or try Cerbu's post here.
    Or see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, forcing a driver update.

  • IPhoto doesn't recognize .jpg files and can't open it. What may I do now?

    iPhoto doesn't recognize .jpg files and can't open it. What may I do?

    a common problem is that you don't have permission to upload those files, but it is an easy fix
    1) Finder
    2) Users(it should have the account name on it)
    3) pictures
    4) right click on iphoto library then click info
    5 on the bottom of the new window there should be a sharing and permissions tab
    6) make sure you have permission to read & write
    The only other problem I can think is that you are having problems with hard drive space. if so you might want to clean up your hard drive to free up some space. please let me know if that worked for you.

  • How do I keep my installer from trying to update with Photoshop instead of installer? Quark can't update because the installer opens Photoshop which doesn't recognize the file and I'm not given the option to choose anything else.

    1. Sync wasn't intended to be used in that manner. You would be better off carrying around a USB Flash Stick with Portable Firefox for use on "strange" PC's.
    2. You could open the "Library" {Ctrl + Shift + B} and highlight all those bookmarks and then delete them all at once. But that would also delete all the other bookmarks, and it isn't foolproof. All another person would need to do it to '''''restore''''' a bookmark backup file that has your bookmarks. Beyond that, a new Profile could be created and then the current Profile deleted; but that's "messing with" someone else's computer - an action that is worthy of terminating a friendship over, IMO.
    And if that "public" computer was set up properly, Sync should have been disabled.

  • How can I make my computer only recognize my network and not that of one of my neighbors?

    How can I make my computer only recognize my network and not that of one of my neighbors? This is for when I am at home, and everytime the computer goes to sleep it essentially loses the connection, only to pick up my neighbors network when it is awaken.
    I am on Comcast (Xfinity) Highspeed Cable wireless modem/router
    Thanks in advance!

    You can make your network the preferred network.

  • Can AirPort Extreme join a wireless network and share the connection to ethernet connected devices?

    Can AirPort Extreme join a wireless network and share the connection to ethernet connected devices?

    Yes, if the AirPort Extreme is joining a wireless network that has been created by another Apple router. In this case, it will be extending the wireless network and the Ethernet ports are enabled on the "remote" AirPort Extreme.
    No, if the AirPort Extreme will be used with another router from another manfacturer.
    Ironically, the less expensive AirPort Express can do what you ask about with virtually any wireless network using a special feature called ProxySTA. It won't extend the wireless with a non-Apple router, but the Ethernet port will be enabled.

  • My computer doesn't recognize my iphone and it shows up the apple and nothing is working. What can I do ?

    My computer doesn't recognize my iphone and now my iphone displays the apple and I can't use it. What can I do ?

    First, try to do a hard reset of your phone. (Hold down the Home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time for about 10 seconds. When the screen flashes and the Apple appears again, release the buttons.)
    If that doesn't work, then you may have to put your phone in restore mode.
    Power off your phone and disconnect it from the USB cable.
    Close iTunes.
    Then press and hold the Home button and while keeping the Home button pressed down, connect the phone to the USB cable.
    Continue to hold the Home button pressed down. 
    After a few seconds, you should see the display prompt you to connect to iTunes.
    After that, you should be able to restore your phone from iTunes.

  • I have 5s and it shuts off and shows the apple sign and the goes back to normal?

    I have 5s and it shuts off and shows the apple sign and the goes back to normal/Help please

    Hello mpd412,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone 5s.  I would be concerned too if my iPhone was unexpectedly powering off.  I found an article with steps you can take when you encounter an issue like this.  I recommend following the steps below:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
