Airport Express won't reconnect after Airport Extreme is rebooted

So my problem is this. The whole system is made up of 2 "old" Airport Expresses, 1 brand new Airport Express and an older Airport Extreme. I have the two older Airports set up to "join" the network and have one hooked up to my printer and one to my pool computer. I then setup the new Express to "extend" the network to cover more of the house. This all works great when I first set it up. The problem comes when I have to reboot the Extreme. When I do this, the new express will not reconnect to the network but just flashes amber until I unplug and replug it. The old ones reconnect and go back to green with no intervention at all. I tried setting up the new express as both "join" and "extend" and in both cases it will not reconnect to the Extreme unless I power cycle it. Why am I having this issue with the new one, and the old ones work just fine. Is there a setting I need to adjust on the new one or on the Extreme or ...
NO security, just a hidden SSID.
Thanks

Redo the setup of the express.. I am not quite sure I am following the problem but you are better setting a new wireless name rather than use the default. Did you also set security on to WPA2 Personal with a decent password?
If the MBP that has issues was recently updated to 10.8.5 it might need an SMC reset.. also check if your model laptop has a SMC upgrade as there are some wireless issues around.

AirPort won't reconnect after wake in OS 10.6.7

My iMac will no longer reconnect to my WiFi network after restart or wake from sleep. I have to manually add my network (configured with hidden SSID so I have to type in the name and password) and then the connection is fine, until next sleep. This only affects one of the two iMacs on our home network, and only started recently. I searched these discussions and only found old threads for OS 10.4 which don't apply as the Network Preferences dialog has changed. I tried restarting the AirPort base station, turning AirPort on and off, and uninstalling Norton firewall I(which I thought might have been the culprit), all to no avail. I use OS 10.6.7, and an AirPort Extreme. The network uses WPA2 Personal security.
How can I get AirPort to reconnect after wake again? Any tips appreciated. Thanks.

It might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until the problem is resolved, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
1) Use the AirPort menu bar item to turn AirPort off, then on again.
2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort menu.
3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort item from the left column, then add it back.
4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
5) In the same panel, select the AirPort connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease". Note that the fix this step implements may be temporary.
6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( _not_ <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
These steps may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try. Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them. If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.

Express does not reconnect after reboot of Extreme

My extreme is conencted (via ethernet) to my router (bridge mode)
My Express is connected to Extreme to expand wireless network (bridge mode)
However when i reboot the extreme, the Express is no longer visible
I have to reboot as well. is this normal?
Also, logically (as per above config) the extreme & express are part of ONE wireless network
So a device conected will "roam" between the 2 as if it's only 1 wifi point (?)
However when i connect a wireless security camera, it shows me express & extreme seperately (eventhough same name & login)
and I have to choose to which one to connect.
IThis means if it's connected to Express & Express stops working, then
it will NOT got directly to the extreme (eventhough it's well in range)
Plsd to hear

Airport express won't work after changing wireless router

I used to have a Netgear router, but changed it last night for the o2 wireless router. But now I've lost my itunes airtunes connections on my airport express'. I cant locate the Airport Express Assistant despite having the CDs that came with the AEs.
Does anyone know where to locate a download for the Airport Express Assistant?

The utility wouldn't even detect the Airport Express, until it had been reset.
The following webpage helped heaps!

FCP Won't Load After Quartz Extreme Support Dissapears, then reappears

I did the latest Software Update yesterday and weirdly, the Quartz Extreme support on my video card (NVidia GForce FX 5200) disappeared. Then it reappeared after doing nothing. Should I download a new driver? And if so, where do I get it? Without QE, FCP or and FCS 2 software will not load. There was no place on the Tiger pages to post this question. Thanks.

Two things: VST's don't work with Logic anyway, and they won't work in any program if you put them in the components folder. The Components folder is for AU plugins (that work with Logic) and the VST folder is for, well, you can guess...
But your real problem is Rewire. You must either update it to a compatible version, or remove the folder Propellerheads from *Library>Application Support*.

Magic Mouse won't reconnect after Lion upgrade

Okay, I'll lay this out as quickly and consisely as possible.
I've searched every post and site I can find and tried everything suggested, and still no luck.
I have Mac Pro with an external bluetooth dongle, Magic Mouse, and I have just upgraded to OSX 10.7 Lion.
My Magic Mouse has always reconnected flawlessly to my machine after booting or waking, but after upgrading to Lion, it refuses to re-pair after booting or waking. In bluetooth preferences, I can see in the Devices pane that "Steven's Mouse" is disconnected, but every couple of seconds this will flash green and show "Connected" - but only for a half second - and then it's back to "Not Connected".
I've set BT setup assistant to open on startup, and only when I have manually deleted and re-paired my Magic Mouse using the keyboard does the Magic Mouse connect.
Then sleep and wake and I'm back to square one.
I have:
Restarted after trashing every bluetooth .plist file (~/Library/Preferences and also HD/Library/Preferences) - and bluetooth drivers
Sone several SMC Resets
Zapped my PRAM
Made my mouse a 'Favorite'
Deleted and re-paired it more times than I can count
Turned the mouse on and off
Clicked it
Double-clicked it
Kept clicking it
Turned it on and off
Triple-checked the batteries
Tested my mouse with another machine running SL
Tested another mouse with my machine
- All with no luck whatsoever. I'm about down to writing a suicide note or something!!!
Any help would be appreciated.
Steven
(BTW I'm 100% sure the issue is within the Lion system somewhere - not my hardware.

Hi, I had the same problem but it's fixed now. It seems that the order you turn mouse and bluetooth off and on makes the difference. This is what worked on my macbook pro (eventually!):
turn off bluetooth and mouse. Turn on bluetooth. Open system preferences. Open mouse. It starts searching. then Turn on mouse. Hey presto! (and much to my surprise) it found it.
It also worked if I left the mouse on, and turned it off and on after opening the mouse in system preferences and it had started searching. But if, for example, I turned on the mouse before opening system preferences,it was no go.
There is another issue: I (like I suspect a lot of people) switch between lion and snow leopard (Macbook Pro and Mac Mini respectively), and every time it has to be paired manually. I have found I have to use the entire process shown above with both OSs.
Also, the mouse has to be paired to Lion at every startup. I never have to re-pair the mouse with Snow leopard on startup (unless it's been paired to Lion in the meantime!).
I hope that some of this might help someone, even just a little.

Oracle 10g Express won't open after Windows Patches

Hi all,
Yesterday I successfully installed Oracle 10g Express on a new Windows 2003 server with SP1. However today I can't open the Database Homepage - it is returning an error: "The page cannot be displayed" when I am trying to connect to http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex
The only thing I can see as having changed between last night and this morning was that when I shut down the server last night 50 Windows Patches were installed. I wasn't paying enough attention last night and by the time I realised what was going on I couldn't stop the installation of these patches.
So, does anyone know which Windows Patch may have caused this issue and if so is there a MS Patch Fix (surprise, surprise) or do I just uninstall that patch.
I really don't want to have to go through the pain of formatting the machine and starting again.
Thanking you,
GR

Check that none of the patches restarted/reset the firewall.

ZVM Won't Reconnect After Reset

My ZVM froze on me this afternoon, stuck in the "Shutting Down" mode.
I let it be, thinking it would right itself.
Eight full hours later, it was still stuck. So I reset it.
I got a "Low Battery" warning, so I hooked it up to the charger (with the attachment thingie that also doubles as a USB connector).
But in doing so, my computer won't recognize that the ZVM is plugged in. I keep getting a "Your player is not connected" message in the ZVM Media Explorer.
Help!
(FYI: I do see the "Docked" symbol and I've also rebooted my computer)

Is the battery charging or charged. If the battery is charged do a cleanup>reboot from the recovery screen.http://forums.creative.com/creativel...ap&thread.id=3

WPSM54G won't reconnect after printer being shut off and back on.

I have a HP Deskjet 2510. It prints well untill I turn the printer off and got to use it the next time. When I turn it on the USB light on the router doesn't even light up. I have to unplug it and plug it back in then it works fine untill next time. The printer is hooked up thru an ethernet connection for 1 computer and wirelessly for another. Same problem with both computers. Any help?
Solved!

It might be firmware is already old. Make sure printserver’s firmware is updated. Reset and reconfigure.

Bluetooth Keyboard won't reconnect after reboot

I have a new Macbook Pro (early 2008 model) that keeps losing my bluetooth keyboard everytime I restart the Mac. I have to either Browse devices and turn the keyboard on and off (I put new batteries in the keyboard recently, so I don't think that is the problem) or else I have to set the keyboard up again from scratch as a new Bluetooth device. Once I get it working again it works fine until I restart.
This is getting tedious.
Anyone else having this problem?

Hiya I would advise to try and reset SMC on your MPB and see if it helps.

Airport Extreme/Express WPA Troubles

Hey all. I'm finally upgrading to WPA/WPA2 Personal "standards". I have one slight glitch though...
The Airport Expresses won't connect to the Extreme with the proper WPA password. Here's a clip of the logfile with the last 4 of the MAC visible.

The error messages indicate that you have an incorrect password issue or the old passwords have become corrupted.
Open Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access and delete the passwords associated with the AirPort Express devices. Then setup the connections one at a time with each AirPort Express and enter new password information.

Best connection with U-verse Gateway and AirPort Extreme

These past couple of weeks I've been having problems where my AirPort Extreme (connected to my U-verse Gateway) has been randomly rebooting. I had Apple exchange the entire unit along with power cables and AT&T has already switched out the Gateway and it was STILL rebooting. I finally reset both to factory settings and started fresh. I turned off the Wireless on the U-verse Gateway and the Extreme is in Bridge Mode. That is how its always been and luckily fixed the rebooting. I am now having issues with my devices losing connection. For example, on my iPad Air, it'll show it is connected to my Network, but going onto Safari and trying to load a page gives me the "Server Not Responding" error. Issues also happen on not only Apple devices, but on a Wii U where I get connection errors. I HAVE NOT had these problems on my iMac (which is wireless), just on these other devices. I have not messed around with DMZ Plus Mode or changed any settings on the Gateway other than turning off the Wireless. I think it might have something to do with IP Addresses or something, but I am really not sure. If you have this same set-up, are you having these issues or what settings do I need to change? Thank you!
U-verse Gateway Model: 3801 HGV
AirPort Extreme 5th Generation

Ok so I began by reseting both devices and that fixed the majority of the "Server Not Responding" errors. BUT now I'm getting the problem where the AirPort Extreme randomly reboots. Like all of a sudden, all my devices will be disconnected from WiFi. When I go to the router, the Amber light is blinking then goes back to green. This was the issue from the very beginning and it really is very annoying. Can anyone help? If not, I'll try to contact AppleCare and post their solution in case somebody else is having these issues.

Airport Extreme in extender mode does not reconnect after main router reset.

I have an Airport Extreme 4th Gen (extender). set to extend the signal from an Airport Extreme 5th Gen (main). Whenever the main router resets (after reconfig, etc) the extender does not reconnect. I would have to restart the extender before it will connect again to the network. However, my Airport Express set to extend will automatically reconnect. Is this a settings issue? Please advise.

Ok, well I am hoping you are not doing a re-config of your 5'th gen all the time? This should only be done very rarely... we're talking like less than once a year for many people. Unless there's something else going on there, I wouldn't worry about it if you have to power-cycle the 4'th gen once in a few blue moons.

Airport Express won't connect to Extreme by ethernet

Hi,
Here is my setup:
a) Airport Extreme (802.11n 2nd gen) connected by ethernet to cable modem
b) Airport Express #1 setup to wirelessly extend network
This has worked fine for quite some time.
Now, what I tried to is add a 2nd Airport Express via ethernet, so
the new setup is:
1) cable modem via ethernet to Airport Extreme
2) ethernet connection from Airport Extreme to D-Link 8 port gigabit switch
3) ethernet from switch to several devices (Tivo, GoogleTV,etc) and also to an in-wall ethernet connection to another part of my house
4) ethernet from that in-wall ethernet to another D-Link switch
5) ethernet from that other switch to printer (currently works fine) and to Airport Express #2
6) Airport Express #1 still connected wirelessly
Problem: Airport Express #2 will not connect. Won't show up in Airport Utility. Nothing.
I have tried several factory resets.
After many tries, I finally tried connecting it wirelessly. This worked, and I was able to see AEX#2 in the Airport Utility. But, when I then tried to connect it by ethernet, it shut down my entire network. I can not anywhere find step by step instructions on how to connect the AEX by ethernet to the Extreme.
I have reviewed http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4145 but find no help there.
Looking forward to some great help.
- Blue

If I switch Express#2 (the one I would lilke to connect by ethernet) to "create" a network, with the same SSID and PW, then I can only see Express#2 in the utility and the Extreme and Express#1 dissappear.
As soon as you set the Express #2 to "Create a wireless network, the setting for Connection Sharing will change from Bridge Mode to Share a public IP address. That is likely what is throwing you off.
Setup Express #2 to "Create a wireless network" using the same wireless network name, same wireless security and same password.
The next...and last....and critical....step before you click Update must be to change the setting for Connection Sharing from Share a public IP address to Off (Bridge Mode).
Now click Update and wait for a green light on Express #2.
Then, you have to power cycle the entire network.
Power off everything in any order you want.
Wait a minute
Start the modem first and let it run a minute
Start the AirPort Extreme next the same way
Then the switch, etc.
You get the idea....keep starting devices one at a time until the entire network is back up.
Now all the AirPorts will be on the same subnet and visible in AirPort Utility.

Airport EXPRESS doesn't work after software update on Airport EXTREME

My Airport Express stopped working after I did my software update for my Airport EXTREME the other day. It lost the connection to my Airport EXPRESS and so I did a hard reset and tried to redo the whole profile but after many, many hard resets, I still can't make it work.
Airport Setup Assistant shows that the setup is complete and everything is fine. But if I select "Extend my wireless range", after the setup, my Airport Express won't even appear anywhere. If I select "Join my wireless network" then it will appear with a 169.xxx.xxx.xxx IP address under my Airport Utility. It will also show up on my iTunes but I can't open it using Airport Utility and iTunes spends a long time searching for it and then gives up. In all the above cases, the amber light remains flashing and the green light never comes on. What else can I do to fix this??

Either change the channel that the phone is transmitting on or change the channel the Express is transmitting on. You can do the latter in Airport Admin Utility; the former depends on your phone.
