Airport Extreme works with ethernet but i CAN'T ADD IT TO MY WIRELESS ?

I'm able to set up airport extreme with ethernet but for some reason i can not add it to my wireless network. Why is this ? I cant figure it out.. by now im connected hard wired airport extreme and 2wire modem is working fine.
Yesterday i was able to do it without the ethernet cable and it was succesfuly joined to my wireless network but it went amber color maybe cause it was disconnected by accident.
Any suggestions? or solutions?

Same here. I have clearwwire and my airport extreme base station was working fine until 3 days ago. My computer cannot find the base station; tried everything. I can get internet if I connect clearwire via ethernet port. What gives? All I get is the blinking amber light. Is it just broken?

Airport Extreme working with iMac but not with Windows 7 Laptop!

My iMac (OSX 10.5.8) has been working fine with my Airport Extreme, but a new member of our household cannot connect wirelessly with their Windown 7 Laptop. The PC can see the wireless name for our household and says it is connected to it, but there is a problem actually connecting to the internet. Has anyone experienced similar problems? We are at a loss as to what to do. Applecare were no help (despite forking out for the advanced applecare warranty) and both Mac and PC service providers blame each other. Any advice would be much appreicated. Surely the Airport Extreme can talk simultaneously to PC and Mac wireless computers?

I have had the same issue. Airplay working with all devices apart from one windows 7 (the actual media server) and have spent over a week trying to resolve it.
This worked for me.
Turn off windows firewall and in my instance macafee. Be warned while macafee says that it's off there are services running all the time.
You will need to open macafee settings and turn off access protection first
Then search services from start bar
Open services and filter by manufacturer
Stoop all macafee services
Right click the start bar
Open task manager
Stop all macafee processes
Try your airport utility you should now see your express
If you can you will see your icon in iTunes
This pores that it's likely to be a macafee issues. Of course you do not want to leave the firewall off so I installed macafee and installed a fresh copy turning both the windows and macafee firewall on with no resultant issues
Hope this helps

Will the airport extreme work with Iphone 4 and Ipod 3 gen without a pc or mac.

You can setup an Airport device using the Apple Airport Utility for iPhone
Download it for free in the App Store on your iPhone...
It's under "Utilities" and the "Top Free" utilities.

Apple says Reminders works with Outlook, but I can't find where the lists are displayed in Office or Outlook once they are synced.

Apple says Reminders works with Outlook, but I can't find where the lists are displayed in Office or Outlook once they are synced. Any suggestions?

I'll guess you've already discovered the answer to this, but just in case:
Reminders works with Outlook tasks by syncing with iCloud, or through Exchange. You can't sync iOS Reminders with Outlook Tasks via USB/iTunes (like you can do with Notes, Calendar, Contacts).
So the marketing material on Reminders is a little misleading in that it's not specific enough -- there is no syncing without one of those intermediary systems mentioned above.
On a side note, syncing Tasks/Reminders via iCloud is not very good in my opinion:
Requires that you sync to the cloud, even if you have no other use for storing personal data in the cloud.
Requires that the iCloud Control Panel be installed on your PC (not sure about Mac).
After syncing, you'll find new Calendar and Task groups called "iCloud" have been created in Outlook. The calendar groups appear to be created even if you're only syncing Tasks/Remminders (not sure why).
Reminders are stored in the new group (noted above) called "iCloud" rather than in your default Tasks group. This seems to me to be a sort of "parallel" sync, rather than a true sync with Outlook. There are oter implications of your synced tasks being in the new group that I won't go into here, but you can search the interwebs to learn more.
In my own case, I tried iCloud syncing, decided that I didn't like it for the reasons stated above, and then uninstalled (Control Panel and new Outlook groups) with no apparent ill effects.
Though I don't guarantee you'll have the same results, it might be worth a try to see if it suits your purposes.

Just hooked up airport extreme. works on mac but won't allow phone or iPad on. how do i get them to connect?

How old are the various devices? It could be possible for you to have configured a very new AirPort Extreme in a way that older iPhones and iPads could not access. For example, could you have set up the Extreme to use only 801.11n and 5GHz?

The AirPort Extreme fully implements the IEEE 802.11 wireless protocols for a through n and will work with any computer that uses a compliant version of any of those protocols. So, yes it will work with the Lenovo as long as the Lenovo is not doing something strange with wireless.

Since Prelude doesn't work with Red footage, how can I add logging info to a file in Premiere Pro CS6?

RED footage has a restriction on metadata. We are looking into what it would take to get full metadata support into our system, but you cannot tag red footage at this time.

Why can't I add appointments to the calendar anymore? I can add to my iPad and they show up and sync with iPhone but I can't add appointments directly to the iPhone calendar.

Hi,
You cannot manually manage music with match turned on on your iOS device. If you want to manage music manually, you will need to turn off match on your iPhone.

How do I make an Airport Extreme work with a Linksys WRT160N

I have a Linksys WRT160N V3 Router that I have connected to my cable modem. I have an iMac in another room along with a PC based laptop. Range is fine to get them to connect wirelessly. However what I would like to do is to also connect my Blu-Ray device to the internet. However it isn't wireless. I was told I could use an Airport Extreme to bridge to my WRT160N. What I want to do is hardwire connect my Blu-Ray player and perhaps my iMac to the Airport Extreme using my WRT160n's access to the cable modem. Basically I'm trying to make to wirelss routers talk to each other. I can't seem to make the Airport Extreme work. Any assistance would be great.
Thanks,
Tim

Welcome to the discussions, Gonzotoo!
+I was told I could use an Airport Extreme to bridge to my WRT160N+
Unfortunately, this is not correct. The AirPort Extreme does not have the capability that you need. If you could connect the Linksys and Extreme together using an ethernet cable, it would function as you wish. Or, if it's not possible to connect them using an ethernet cable, you might take a look at a pair of ethernet powerline adapters to accomplish the same task by using the AC wiring in your home.

Will airport extreme work with Mac OS v10.6?

I have an Imac from 2009, Using OS X v 10.6.8 and cannot get an airport extreme to match. I kept getting a msg to upgrade airport utility hardware 6.2.2, but then an unable to do so. Are the 2 incompartible? I thought the advantage of apple products was connectivity. Any thoughts are appreciated!! Paul

The most recent AirPort Extreme works without any problem with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the problem is that it requires AirPort Utility 6.3 to set it up, and this version is only available for OS X Lion and Mountain Lion.
If you don't want to upgrade Mac OS X and you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you can use them to set up your AirPort Extreme. Open Settings > Wi-Fi, choose your AirPort station and follow the steps.
If you don't have any of those devices, upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion. Open the Mac App Store and purchase it. Make a backup of your data with Time Machine and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com When the download finishes, upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion. After upgrading, open  > Software Update, and install AirPort Utility 6.3, which you have to open and follow its steps.
The other option is to return your AirPort Extreme and get an older one

Will Airport Extreme work with MacBook and PCs in a secure, wireless way?

Currently have a Netgear router that we use for wireless internet access. It is not a secured router and it's time to get a better solution. Will the Airport Extreme work easily and well with an HP laptop, HP Envy printer and my MacBook?

The Airport Extreme is compatible with all computers, even PCs and tablets and phones other than Apple too. You can easily manage/administrate the Airport Extreme and its network with your iPads and iPhone.

Is airport extreme working with 220 v power supply?

my cousin gave me an airport extreme as present , bought in USA.Can I connect it with 220v power supply (greece) or what I must do to connect it to 220v power supply?

It will accept AC input voltages between 100 and 240 AC, 50 to 60 HZ. All you will need is an adapter plug to interface between the US plug and the Euro/Greece wall socket. These adapter plugs are low cost.

AirPort Extreme works with my Mac, but not my PSP?

Just got a new AirPort Extreme today, and I had difficulty setting up because i had typed something wrong. I fixed it and was excited to see that my homepage appeared on my computer, then I tired connecting with my PSP, and it found the signal then gave me a message that that it couldn't connect with the IP. The type of encryption was supported, and the code for the security was correct, but I still cannot figure out why it won't work.
I successfully hooked up the signal, not the ethernet, through the Mac OS X system, and the Windows Vista Ultimate system which is installed through Bootcamp. I cannot figure out why, though, that the PSP won't connect.
Please help or explain what I might be doing wrong!!!!

On your Mac, open the Airport Utility.
Select the airport base station from the list, go to manual setup.
From menu select, Base Station > Equivalent Network Password
Now copy copy password onto the Windoz PC.

Airport extrem working with expresses to create a powerful network, but how

I have one extreme base station and 3 expresses in a 3 story house with a basement. My network base is on the 3rd floor and I want the base station to link from that one to others to boost the signal. I thought I had it all set but am not getting good signal at all. If some one could give me steps to doing this and also give me tips on making the signal better. Thanks. Post here or email me at [email protected]
Oh and I have 8 total computers: 4 pcs, 1 Powerbook G4, 2 Imac Intels, 1 Macmini intel.
3 Pcs are hard wired the other wireless and all the Macs are wireless.
There is a dlink systeme set up that was implace before and used for wireless but with the new Macs im switching to Airports. Should I git rid of the Dlink wireless router?
Let me know if you need more info, thanks again.

You will need to replace the D-Link with the Airport Extreme.
Step 1
Configure the Airport Extreme so it is working as a single wireless router - do not touch the WDS tab in other words where it was before you started.
For ease use a new network name and security.
If necessary do a reset.
Wait ten minutes
Step 2
Factory reset the Airport Express.
Plug the Airport Express in.
On your Mac remain connected to the Airport Extreme wireless network.
Run the Airport Assistant say that you want to configure a new base station.
It should find the Airport Express and ask you some questions, confirm that you want to extend the network of the Extreme network, in other words extend an existing network.
Once it has configured both Airports.
Wait ten minutes.
Repeat Step 2 for each of the remaining Airport Express units.
You may want to reconfigure the middle Airport Express as a relay unit instead of a remote unit.
You are good to go.

Will Airport Extreme work with OS X 10.4.11

I have a MacBook (black) with OS X 10.4.11 and am unable to configure my new Airport Extreme (802.11n) using Airport Utility 5.4.2 (the newest one available for download). When I try to set-up the AEBS, I get this error message:
+"This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this Apple wireless device and might improperly configure the device if you continue to use it. Use the version of AirPort Utility that came on the CD with your Apple wireless device."+
When I try to install the software from the CD that came with the Airport, I get this message:
+"You cannot install Airport Utility on this volume. This software requires Mac OS X version 10.5.7 or later."+
When I bought the AEBS today, I was worried that it wouldn't work with OS X 10.4.x but the salesperson at the Apple Store assured me it would. I know that the specs online said +"For setup and administration: Mac computer with Mac OS X v10.5.7 or later, CD drive, and Ethernet or wireless networking capability"+ but I found the Technical Specs from Apple's Support Page stating that +"For setup and administration: Mac with Mac OS X v10.4 or later, CD drive, and Ethernet or wireless networking capability"+ so I thought maybe they had done something to allow users with the older OS to still set-up and use the AEBS.
I am able to use the AEBS without any problems (online with it right now) but I would really like the opportunity to set-up and protect my wireless network. Is there any way to do this on my current OS or will I have to upgrade in order to use the Airport Extreme?
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!! Thanks!

Welcome to the discussions!
If you could borrow a Mac with a newer operating system, you could use this to setup the AirPort Extreme and your computer would work on the network. Alternately, you might check to see if someone at the Apple store could help you setup your AirPort Extreme there and then you could take it home.
If you can't find a Mac to setup the AirPort Extreme, you will need to upgrade your system software to be able to configure the device.
