Airport Extreme With MBPro and iMac

I'm about to set up a new airport extreme. Right now I am connected to the internet through an older airport extreme, not mine, so I can't use the wifi because I'm locked out. Can someone please tell me the very first steps to initiating the new airport extreme. Right now the plug to the internet modem is out of the socket as is the older airport extreme. I did this because the modem is used to recognizing the older modem, right? How long do should I keep the modem out of the socket before installing the new airport extreme and what is the oder of attachment? Do I plug in the modem first, and wait for the green lights? Do I then plug in the new A-EX, and then the WAN line and the cable from the computer. When it asks me how I want to be set up, how do I indicate that I want to be connected both wired, and wireless? Basically what is the sequence.
Thanks so much. I'm an 18 year veteran of Macs, still a commuter illiterate.

Hey Kappy, thank you for your help! Yes, I can open both libraries on the iMac without problem. I am still confused why the computer that created one of the libraries cannot open said library after it was moved to the external disk. Why is the iPhoto format not readable by all versions across the board?? The reason I'm pushing the issue is because in my household, we have an older MB, my wife's MBP, my MBP and now a new "family" iMac. The MB (circa 2007) has an old version of iPhoto, the two MBP's have iPhoto '08 and the new iMac has '11. It is my goal to have all of the photos that we've accrued over the years, located centrally, and accessible from all of these computers. Is iPhoto the most appropriate program, or would Lightroom make more sense?

Airport Extreme with Printer and HD

I am new to Mac and have been plugging along since Christmas trying to figure everything out. Right now what I am trying to do is set up my Airport Extreme 802.11n router with a USB hub so that I can plug a Western Digital 500gb My Book formatted in fat32 and an Epson printer. I plugged the USB hub into the back of the AE and then plugged the HDD and the Printer into the hub. The Epson printer works great but I can not get the HDD to work. When I go into the Airport Utility>Manual Setup>Disk it sees the HDD and tells me how much memory is on there and when I go into the file sharing tab I have enabled file sharing with disk password. Now from my understanding I need to use the Air Disk utility to access the HDD and when I click on that under the utilities folder both boxes are checked but there is no hard drive in the screen, nothing for me to click on. I have spent a couple of days researching the problem and can't seem to figure out the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Nevermind I figured it out. I thought there would be a hard drive looking device under shared but it was the airport extreme. I am an idiot.

Cannot create WDS with Airport Extreme 802.11n and Airport Express b/g

I have gone through all the steps to set up a WDS with my Airport Extreme Dual Band and my Airport Express b/g.
Every time I try to set it up and update the AX the AX disappears from the airport utility and I can no longer see it. I can however set it up to "join a network" just fine.
Anyone have any idea why I cannot do this? I haven't seen anything saying that the AE is not compatible with the AX.
Ideally what I would like to do is have the AX extend the network and then use an ethernet cable to connect it to an imac g4, thus giving the computer "wireless" internet.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks

So just to clarify even if I was to buy a new "n" AX I would still be relegated to "g" speeds?
That's correct if you use the WDS settings on both the AEBS and AX.
But, if you had the "n" AX, you could configure it to "extend a wireless network" and maintain "n" speeds on the network. There would still be some bandwidth loss...10-15% or so...that's unavoidable unless you go to an ethernet connection method.
Do you think for my application it might be better to just buy a reputable wireless usb dongle?
If I understand correctly, you need an ethernet connection for a computer. Why not consider a pair of ethernet powerline adapters? One device plugs in near your AEBS and the other near the device that needs the ethernet connection. The pseudo ethernet signal is conducted over the AC powerlines in your home. This is the next best choice when you can't run an ethernet cable through the house.
This would be a faster and more stable connection than any type of wireless application. It's plug and play. In addition to the powerline adapters, all you'll need are two short ethernet cables to connect one adapter to a LAN port on the AEBS and another short ethernet cable to connect from the adapter to the G4's ethernet port.
Any electronics superstore will have a selection to look at. The cost is approximately $75-125 for a pair depending on how much speed you choose.

I am getting a "connection timeout" message when trying to access my Airport Extreme with various laptops, Play Station 3 and Wii. My Airport Extreme is about a month old; it was working fine until about a week ago. Suddenly, the "timeout" is not allowing me to connect to my wireless network.

It could be that there's a new source of interference.
Use the advice in the second message of this thread to investigate the signal and noise levels that each client sees:

I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and have recently upgraded to Mountain Lion. Now airport utility won't work with my base station so I bought a Time Capsule. For the life of me I can't make the substitution work and only see a blinking amber light.

The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
1) I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access. But do I have to change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
2) Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
N.Korean hackers.
[Edit] Whoops-- one more question: I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it. What do I need to do?
You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
Look at Q3 here.
http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together.

I bought an airport extreme (5th gen) and have set it up today. However I am having troubles getting it to co-excist with my already set up ethernet connections which are necessary due to the size of the house.

Please let me know how I can set it up so it works along with my ethernet cables and downstairs network. I have several ethernet connections that I need to use as they are out of range of the network.

When trying to connect my AppleTV 3rd gen to another ethernet port of airport extreme with another faster (85mbps) Trendnet ethernet adapter via a different electrical outlet, my extreme goes from green light to flashing amber light and my wifi stops working.
If the Apple TV was originally setup for WiFi, I suggest that you reset the device back to default settings and then configure it again with Ethernet plugged in. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Settings
As a test, connect a spare Ethernet cable of any length (that you know is working) from the LAN <-> port on the AirPort Extreme to the Apple TV for the setup.
Setup the ATV again and double check to make sure that it is operating correctly
Change the location of the ATV back to the desired location on the network behind the powerline adapters
If you have a problem now, the first thing to check is the powerline adapter and or wiring

Am replacing airport extreme with Time Machine and want to upgrade from Tiger to Snow leopard. Am told I should manually back up into T Machine before OS update but set up utility won't allow anything with OS below 10.5 and I'm 10.4.11. What to do?

I think you mean you are replacing your Airport Extreme with a Time Capsule. Time Machine is software integrated into OS X 10.5 & 10.6 used to automatically backup a system to an external HD. Time Capsule is an Airport Extreme that has a hard disk integrated into it that can be used for storage or as a Time Machine backup drive.
Because you are currently on Tiger 10.4.x you can backup to a external HD using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner. Having a backup is very wise before doing any major system update. After you have created the backup and have successfully upgraded to Snow Leopard you can still use the external HD for many things. The strategy I'd recommend is to use the new Time Capsule as your Time Machine backup and then use the external HD as backup using SuperDuper or CCC. Redundant backups is wise because backups can (and do) fail too! In addition both SD and CCC are bootable clones, this is useful in that if your internal HD crashes you can boot from a cloned drive and continue working until the internal HD is replaced.
Below are some links to some articles from MacWorld, I would recommend reading them where you find a common theme, redundant backups. Backup Plan I, Backup Plan II & Backup Plan III.

I have replaced my airport extreme with a new airport time capsule and want to know how I can set up my extreme to extend/strengthen my Wi-Fi?

Start with a "hard reset" (see below) then use AirPort Utility to configure it.
When asked what you want to do with it, indicate that you want it to add to an existing network, similar to the following screenshot.
Follow the prompts that will eventually lead you to the words "wirelessly extend..." as shown.
To "hard reset" an AirPort Base Station: make sure it's powered up, then press and hold its tiny reset button and keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.

How to set up Airport Extreme with Charter ARRIS Modem TM902A for the first time for WIRELESS.

How to set up Airport Extreme with Charter ARRIS Modem TM902A for the first time for WIRELESS.
When Charter Tech goes to your site, have them connect the modem up, but do not connect the modem to your iMAC or MacBook Pro. What you want to do is connect the Airport Extreme to the iMac or MacBook Pro first with the Ethernet Cable. You have to do this to configure via Airport Utility to set up the Base Station Name & Base Station Password.
You will then create/configure a Wireless Network, create your Wireless Password that will be entered on each of your Devices, example, Apple Tv, your iPhone, etc., you want to allow access to your Wireless Network you are creating.
Wireless Security will be -> WPA/WPA2 personal or just WPA2
Enter the Wireless Password you want
Verify the Wireless Password (enter it again)
After it is created you will see it on the Airport Utility window with the name you created for it and to the left, will be a Dot (circle that will be yellow).
Next you then want to unplug the power to the Airport Extreme, and then take the end of the Ethernet cable you unplugged from the iMac or Lap top MacBook Pro and connect it to the back of the Modem.
Next unplug the power cord from the modem and wait about 5 minutes, then plug the power back into the Arris Modem and wait until all lights come back on the modem wait
about 5 minutes, then plug the power cord back to the Airport Extreme and you will see it the light blinking yellow. Wait about 5 to 10 minutes, during this time Restart you IMAC or MacBook Pro, and once it is back up click on the Airport Utility and you should see on the Airport Utility screen.
For INTERNET to the left the light should be green and you should see the Airport Extreme also appear and the light to the left on the screen should also be green. If they are, you then should be able to click on the Wireless Symbol on top of bar of the screen and click to select the Wireless Network Name you created.
If you Do Not See the light (Icon) next to INTERNET turn Green, or if you see the Internet Light Green, but the Light (Icon) next to the Airport Extreme is yellow, unplug the power again to the modem and unplug the power again to the Airport extreme and wait about 15 minutes or up to 30 minutes. Then plug the power cord back to the modem wait till all the lights light up then, plug the power cord back into the Airport Extreme and Restart your iMAC or MacBook Pro.
The Airport Extreme light should change from yellow to green. Open up the Airport Utility to see what the indicators are showing they should both be green. Again select Wireless network you created under the Wireless Icon on the top right of the screen. Open Safari and see if you are able to Route to a web page or the apple site should appear.
WHAT TO DO IF YOUR AIRPORT EXTREME WAS PREVIOUSLY SET UP FOR USE WITH ANOTHER CARRIERS ROUTER OR MODEM.
NOTE: If you already had your Airport Extreme connected for example, I previously had ATT Uverse and the Airport Extreme was connected to the Wireless Router Model 3801HGV, I disabled the Uverse Wireless and used the Airport Extreme for the Wireless signal in bridge mode, as the Airport extreme Signal is much stronger than the Uverse router, and I was able to obtain a Wireless signal with the Airport Extreme way much better with no signal loss which was very very frustrating with the Uverse router.
Anyhow if you had it hooked up like this, now that you will be using it with the Charter ARRIS Modem TM902A, you will need to reset the Airport Extreme to clear out the old data it has in memory, with the previous set up otherwise it will not work. Trust me I spent 6 hours trying to make it work reading all Apple Support Community questions and answers relating to this type issue/problem others have been having trying to get their set up working. I tried all the tips, and I finally decided just to see if by chance I would be able to connect with someone with Charter Tech support who might be familiar with Apple to be able to assist me and by luck I did. He told me why it was not working and was all due the previous configuration with the ATT Uverse router was still in memory with the Airport Extreme. Finally it was 10:30 PM when I decided to call Charter Tech Support and I had been working on this since 3:00 pm pacific. I did not call them earlier as all the post I read said they never received any good help from Charter. After calling them I finished up by 11:00 PM and was able to finally connect Apple Tv, iMac, iPhones and Macbook Pro. We love our Apple Product and Happy all is connected with the new
Internet Provider Charter. I must say the speed is way way much better than it ever was with AT&T Uverse.
THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO DO:
First you will need to unplug the Airport Extreme, then by taking the tip of a pen or paper clip end you need to push the reset button on the back of the Airport Extreme and hold it
down and at the same time plug the power cord back into the Airport Extreme count to 5 or 10 then release the reset button. Then once he light in front of the Airport Extreme stops blinking you need to plug the Ethernet cable from the Airport Extreme to your iMAC or Macbook Pro, and restart which ever one you have, then open the Airport Utility once it is back up. If you see airport extreme pop up with the old network name or it shows and yellow triangle click on the Airport Extreme ICON it will not let you configure it but will ask if you want to get rid of it or remove and just do it. Then Again restart your iMAC or MacBook Pro, open up Airport Utility again, and on the top left you should see under “Other Airport Base Stations” the MAC ID for the Airport Extreme.
You will then create/configure a Wireless Network, create your Wireless Password that will be entered on each of your Devices, example, Apple TV, your iPhone, etc., you want to allow access to your Wireless Network you are creating.
Wireless Security will be -> WPA/WPA2 personal or just WPA2
Enter the Wireless Password you want
Verify the Wireless Password (enter it again)
After it is created you will see it on the Airport Utility window with the name you created for it and to the left, will be a Dot (circle that will be yellow).
Next you then want to unplug the power to the Airport Extreme, and then take the end of the Ethernet cable you unplugged from the iMac or Lap top MacBook Pro and connect it to the back of the Modem.
Next unplug the power cord from the modem and wait about 5 minutes, then plug the power back into the Arris Modem and wait until all lights come back on the modem wait
about 5 minutes, then plug the power cord back to the Airport Extreme and you will see it the light blinking yellow. Wait about 5 to 10 minutes, during this time Restart you IMAC or MacBook Pro, and once it is back up click on the Airport Utility and you should see on the Airport Utility screen.

I just got a Charter Modem. Model TM822. While I was moving, my Airport Extreme was still at my old place.
I have a Linksys WRT320N I used for the initial Charter setup.
I can get my Airport to work here, but the Internet light on the Modem flashes Yellow.
Hasn't caused any issues so far but one thing I did notice.
On the Linksys there were 3 DNS servers listed.
The Airport Extreme only lists 2 and i don't see where I could add another, only change whats already there.
I tried everything above, but light on modem still flashes yellow.
I have the technicians cell phone. Told me "that shouldn't be" and gave the same advice listed above.
I'll break down and call Charter one day, see if it's on their end. NSA tracking may need a reset LMAO.

Airport Extreme Base Station and 2wire Modem / Router

I have Yahoo DSL with a 2wire modem / wireless router combo. I have an iMac and a MacBook both running Leopard. I can't seem to get the Back to my Mac feature to work. I'm currently running the trial version of .Mac. I'd like to get a full .Mac account but I want to be sure I can utilize the Back to my Mac feature. If I were to bridge an Airport Extreme Base Station to the 2wire would that solve my issue with Back to my Mac. Additionally I like the idea of being able to plug a printer of external hard drive into the Airport Extreme.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I got it to work. I purchased the Airport Extreme Base Station and took the following steps which I found here http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-68141.html
First connect directly to the 2Wire with the Ethernet cable.
Instructions from 2Wire:
1. Clear the HomePortal to Factory State –can be accomplished two ways
2. Go to http://homeportal/management
3. Click on Resets
4. Click on Reset to Factory State
5. Click Continue
6. Have customer press Hardware Reset button with paperclip (HG products only and BellSouth HWs)
7. Have customer unbend a paperclip
8. Have customer insert paperclip into recess for Hardware Reset button (outlined with Red circle) on back of HomePortal.
9. Hold paper clip in for ten (10) full seconds
Next steps:
1. Go to http://homeportal/management again
2. Click on Configure under Broadband Link
3. Enter VPI 0 and VCI 35
4. Click on Disable PVC Search
5. Set Connection Type to Direct IP
6. Click Submit/Save
7. Have cu go to http://homeportal/management
8. Click on Configure Services
9. Have cu Uncheck Enable Routing
10. Click Submit
Airport configuration:
1. Open the AirPort Admin Utility and select your Base Station.
2. Click Configure and enter your password.
3. Click the Internet tab.
4. Choose PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) from the Connect using pop-up menu.
5. If required by your ISP, enter your user name, password and service name in the appropriate fields. ( Your name and password is you full email including the @sbcglobal.net part and your email password)
6. Click Update.
7. After the base station restarts itself, quit the AirPort Admin Utility.
If that doesn’t work call apple and they should be able to help with the airport configuration.
Back to My Mac now works. Hope this helps someone else.

Airport Extreme with iPod Touch? But 2 floors of concrete & Brick Walls??

Qwik-Question: Can Airport Extreme penetrate brick and 2 floors of thick concrete to reach my iPod Touch on the upper floor??
_FULL DETAILS:_
Hello! I have been using Macs since 1989 and should be a pro by now-- but things have advanced so much that...
...that I use Apple Discussions regularly!
+OK I have a wired ethernet with a cable modem going to a D-Link Router, going to a switch with a MacBook, G4733 and PBG4-12" (i.e. PB-Helium!)(Loveit) plus 2 ethernet printers-- in my basement office, then nothing on the "ground" floor, but another "switch" on the next floor above (in the US this would be the second floor; but in Europe it would be #1, with Ground Floor "0" and basement "-1").+ On the upper floor is an iMac (2005) and cables to attach other Macs/PC's as needed.
Primarily I want WIRELESS so that my iPod Touch with the January 2008 software update is able to access the www for eM and weather and stocks etc. I've tried this via borrowing a neighbor's WiFi (with his permission) last week-- worked fine! (His PC wireless was located on an upper floor, not the basement!)
Other reasons for going wireless-- (i)using my PB or MB on the "ground" floor (no cable there); and (ii)when my daughter visits-- with her VISTA PC (although we've had problems when she uses a cable in my home network-- VISTA kicks-out the Macs after a while and I have to re-initialize the D-Link Router!!!)
(NOTE: I plan to keep my printers and the current MB / PB / G4733 primarily on the wired network - I assume I can do this, i.e. have both wired and wireless and choose which I want when I want it?)
_AND NOW THE KEY QUESTION IS:_ *WILL THE 2 LAYERS OF CONCRETE AND BRICK IN THIS BELGIAN HOUSE ATTENUATE THE SIGNAL SO MUCH THAT I CANNOT USE WIFI WITH THE ITOUCH FROM THE TOP FLOOR??*
And if so, what is the best solution?
1. Just install an Apple Extreme in basement and pray?
2. Somehow attache the Apple Extreme to the upstairs switch (is that possible??)
3. Someone said that an "airport" may be better for this than an Apple Extreme? Why??
4. Other-- a repeater i.e. Apple Extreme in basement with a "repeater" somewhere (ground floor?)
I really am not sure-- and would be disappointed if I spent $200 (is that the price? Likely more in Europe in Euros!) for an Apple Extreme in the basement and then find the signal is not available on the top floor...
Thanks for any comments, references etc.
Best regards,
Steve Saturday 8 March 2008

AirPort Extreme powers down when iMac is shut down

9-month old AirPort Extreme, with two hardwire connections: one to the DSL modem, and one to an iMac. After months of perfect performance and reliability, the AirPort extreme now completely powers down as soon as the iMac is shut down or goes to sleep. It powers back up with the iMac. Logging out the iMac to another user account does not shut down the AE.
Naturally, we checked the electrical supply for all three devices and they are all plugged into a perfectly ordinary surge supressor strip.
We're thinking the AE has a hardware failure...but what kind of bizarre symptom is this that it shuts down when it loses signal from it's only Ethernet client?

This is certainly odd. Have you tried a different port on the AEX?
It may be best to contact Apple about a warranty exchange.

ATV + USB 2.0 Drive + Airport Extreme Wireless-n + Intel iMac = BROKEN!!!

I have just dumped a sh*tload of money into getting an Apple TV. I purchased:
1. Airport Extreme @ $180 + tax
2. Apple TV @ $300 + tax
3. 2 - 500 GB hard drives @ $218 + tax
4. 1 - dual drive enclosure to make drives 1 TB @ $80 + tax
My first problem is that I can't use the airport extreme with WEP. It just won't connect to the internet, I have to use it without security.
I plugged in my Apple TV connected to my iMac. I can stream video without any problems with this config. BUT I don't have ANY local hard drive space so I got the external drive.
I started noticing that there is a 15% white flicker on the screen, VERY ANNOYING.
I transferred my iTunes library to the external 1 TB drive, plugged it into my Airport Extreme, setup the drive to display on my desktop, pointed my iTunes library to it across the network. This works ok on the compter.
My ATV would not connect to my iMac anymore. I spent hours trying to get it to work. I finally hit RESTORE FACTORY SETTINGS and was able to connect and stream. After about 20 minutes of streaming it stopped and ATV no longer was connected to my iMac. I spent another few hours trying to get it to connect again, but it won't.
I moved my 1 TB USB 2.0 drive and plugged it directly into the iMac, I re-pointed my iTunes library to get it from the local USB drive. The ATV now connects just fine.
I started streaming a movie to watch and I can only watch it in 30 second chunks! Every 30 seconds it spends another 30 seconds buffering. Then it starts playing again for 30 seconds and then buffers again. It does this for all video content, BUT when it was connected through the network it was streaming just fine.
So I said, "fine, just for tonight I will sync this movie so I can at least watch it since I have wasted hours upon hours struggling to get this to work." I synced the movie but it just spins and never transfers over.
How can something so expensive work sooooooo poorly????????????? Was an $800 investment not enough? Not to mention all the money I spend at the iTunes store.
WHAAAAT THEEEEEEE F******************K IS WRONG!?!?!?!?!?!?

Network problems can be difficult to diagnose, but there are a couple of problem areas I can see with your set up.
Network drives are notoriously slow, moving your drive to a direct connection to your mac will speed up access to it between 15 and 70 times depending on the type of connection you use.
I note you have combined two drives in a single enclosure, RAID drives are not supported as airdisks although certain RAID levels have been seen to work but others haven't.
Loading the drive attached to your mac and moving it can be problematic. It is possible that you can load files with certain characters in their filename that are not acceptable when loaded over a network.
If you have a flicker on your video, my first thought would be a poor or damaged connection/lead.

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
Are you using the smtp provided by AOL? What port are you presenting it on -- Port 25 or Port 587? In Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Infomation/Outgoing Server Settings, does the name of the (if the one from AOL) include your Username from your AOL email address (also referred to as account name, by AOL, I think)?
