Airport unexpected reconection

Hi, I have a problem with my airport. Since 1 week, it started to loose the connection and reconnects again. In the time without connection, a "!"-Sign appears in the Airport icon on the top.
I got this from the console:

Hi. I went to see the genius and mi iMac has no problems at all.... I bought a new Airport Extreme Router, and for the last 5 hours everything is now running smoothly. Apparently, my combined modem + router from Virgin was not good enough and that was the reason for my Mac to constantly loose signal. With a better router now everything is working fine.
I strongly recommend getting an Airport Extreme... I have an iMac, iPad and 3 iPhones connected at home... the standard Virgin router cannot handle so many devices and as a consequence they crash and lost connection. With this improved Router everything is fine. Thanks Mac and thanks to Apple!!

Unexpected restart link with airport and keychain

HI,
I experience some unexpected restart of my Mac book pro when it's inactive (and only when it's inactive). There is not a single line in the system.log or console.log that match the time of reboot. I didn't find a reproducible way of making it happening. Nevertheless, when airport cannot connect to a gateway because the signal is marginal and make an error seems to increase the probability to experience such a feature. I'm of course not talking about a kernel panic. There is not a single clue before the restart! The hardware testing provided by apple on Mac OS X DVD and with the apple care plan does not detect any issue.
On top of that it seems that when it starts to happen, it will happen any time you will reach the screensaver or lock the computer, if the screensaver is password protected. Switching of this option is usually not enought and according an other article of this forum, I added in ~?Library/preferences a com.apple.screensaver.plist with 0 value to askForPassword
Repairing the permission seems to help sometimes as well. But there is no key way of getting rid of it.
Moreover, from time to time the additionnal plist file I said is removed by another process (I'm the only user of my laptop and it happens several time). But still nothing reproducible.
I tried to mesure the temperature and log it, and it's not increasing at the time of the crash, on the contrary.
so any idea to fix, or at least to force a higher level of logging is welcome

OK, I came up with at least a "hack" to get me back up and running for the moment. I have another user account "test" on my powerbook that is pretty much a vanilla new account. Whilst reviewing what files had been changed during the upgrade I became fairly convinced some form of bad XML configuration parameter(s) in file(s) contained in ~user/Library/Preferences were behind the loss of network connectivity. I logged out, then logged back in as my "test" user and networking worked flawlessly which seems to confirm that indeed the problem lies not in shared system directories but in user configuration data. Anyhow I logged into my normal account (top right screen corner) whilst still logged into my test account and now networking remained enabled and operational.
I'll report back if I work out how to clean up this mess properly.

I am trying to connect a 3rd airport express to my network, but am getting "an unexpected error occurred" when trying to connect. Any ideas how to fix?

I am getting, "an unexpected error occurred" during set up of a 3rd airport express. Any ideas why or how to correct?

Are you using the IMac in your profile, or are you using the iPhone or iPad to set up the Express?
If you are using the iMac, what operating system is installed on the Mac?

Unexpected error when connecting Airport Express A1264 to Airport Utility 6.3.1

My current wireless setup is and has been the following: Phone Jack --> DSL modem ---> Airport Express via Ethernet cable
Off of that connection we've been able to wirelessly run our MacBook, Apple TV and iPhones for several years.
We recently left for vacation, so I unplugged everything (apparently a huge mistake). When we returned from vacation, the wireless connection was intermittent and kept being dropped.
If I connect the Ethernet cable directly from the modem into my MacBook the internet works fine.
I tried refreshing the Airport Express by unplugging it and cycling it through. It continued to drop.
By opening the Airport Utility, a firmware update was recommended. However, since that update the Airport Express isn't detected anymore.
I tried a hard reset and Utility finds the Airport Express under "Other Wifi Devices" but then, at the end of trying to "Join the Airport Express to the Network" I get an "Unexpected Error" message.
Airport Express Model Number: A1264
Airport Utility: 6.3.1
OS: 10.8.5
I am very frustrated and way out of my league here with understanding how this all works and what I can do to fix it. If anyone has any suggestions or expertise to offer, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you for your time,
Amanda

Hi AMM222,
"Unexpected Error" message with Mountain Lion and AirPort Utility 6.3.x. Hopefully this is just a matter of enabling IPv6.
AirPort base station not seen or "An unexpected error occurred" appears in AirPort Utility 6.3
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4597
This can happen if IPv6 has been disabled. To enable IPv6 for your network interface:
Choose Apple menu () > System Preferences, and then click Network.
If a lock icon appears in the lower-left corner, click it and enter your admin name and password to unlock the pane.
Click your network service (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) in the list, and then click Advanced.
Click the TCP/IP tab.
Choose Link-local only from the Configure IPv6 pop-up menu.
Click OK.
Click Apply.
The AirPort device should now appear in AirPort Utility.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

External hard drive networked via AirPort Extreme gives "The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50)" roughly every two days

My lab has about 10 Mac computers. We all access a central hard drive by the way of wifi provided by AirPort. It's just a regular external hard drive (Seagate Desktop Drive) that I turned into our central storage space by plugging it into AirPort (USB). It works pretty well. We seem to be fine with viewing the file directories, opening files, saving, deleting etc., for a day or two. But then after a day or two, when when trying to modify files or move new files onto the central hard drive, we get the error message: "The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50)"
Any suggestions as to what may be causing this problem?
All of the computers are 2011 iMacs & MacPros. The AirPort is 802.11n WiFi. The hard drive is a Seagate USB 3.0 Desktop Drive.
Thank you for your insight/suggestions.

Thanks for your reply. I agree about the communication issue. Let me explain my setup and what I am trying to do and perhaps you can answer my questions or make suggestions.
I have a MAC Mini with a Sony TV for the video monitor. The Mac Mini is hard wired to the AE (Airport Extreme). The AE has a 2 TB HD hooked up to the USB Port. I have a 17" Mac Book Pro on the WIFI Network.
I am trying to use the MAc Mini as a "Media Server" of sorts. Once I get iTunes running the way I plan I am goign to hook up my Apple TV (2nd Generation) to my television downstairs.
What I am trying to accomplish is have iTunes on all my computers look to the External HD on the AE for the files. This is why I am having my (-50 errors).
So far I have noticed that if I go and try to download from iTunes purchased videos that are not ont he computer (to the external HD) it will also occassionaly give me teh -50 error.
Is there a way to change where the files go when I download them? Say I want to download videos to the computer but not to the external HD? However I would want to still be able to move them to the External HD.

After hard reset of time capsule, airport utility cannot setup again. "an unexpected error occurred. try again"

After starting airport utility, it searches and i select my time capsule. AU grinds for a minute and comes back with "An unexpected error occured. Try again."

Hi Philjp,
If you are having issues connecting to your Airport Time Capsule, even after a factory reset, you may find the following article helpful:

Airport 6.3.1 - Unexpected error connecting to Airport Express

I have an Airport Extreme (A1408) base station. I am trying to add an Airport Express (A1392) to my network using Airport Utility 6.3.1 (631.4) with Mac OS/X 10.8.4 (12E 55) running on an iMac. The Airport Utility can find the Express, but returns "An unexpected error occurred. Try again." I have reset the Express using the pinhole without success. I also tried connecting another Airport Extreme (A1408) to the same network with the same result: it can find the device, but returns an unexpected error.
Based on others' posts, I have tried changing the Network setting for IPv6 to "Link-local only". This also did not resolve the problem. Any suggestions are welcome.

I really appreciate your quick response!
The factory default reset didn't work. What did was connecting an ethernet cable. Here's what I did (for anyone else having a similar issue):
Connected the Airport Express via ethernet cable to the Airport Extreme base station.
Airport Utility found the Airport Express and set it up on the ethernet (wired) network. Airport Utility then showed a solid line between the Extreme and the Express to show they were connected.
I then edited the properties of the Airport Express as follows:
On the "Wireless" tab, change "Network Mode" from "Create a wireless network" to "Extend a wireless network".
After the Airport Express rebooted, I detached the ethernet cable.
I then unplugged the Airport Express and plugged it back in the room where I actually wanted it to serve as a wireless extender.
I waited a good 2-3 minutes, checked the status of the connection in Airport Utility in Wi-Fi mode, and voila! It worked. The solid line now shows as a dotted line between the Extreme and Express to show they are connected wirelessly.
I tried connecting a peripheral (in this case, my ethernet-enabled TV) via ethernet cable to the Airport Express extender and it was fully functional.
Thanks again for your help.

I have an Airport Extreme, it's only flashing amber and won't go solid green. I use my ipad 2 to try and setup the Airport and I keep getting "an unexpected error occured, try again."

I have an Airport Extreme, the light is only flashing amber and won't go solid green. I use my ipad 2 to try and setup the Airport and I keep getting "an unexpected error occured, try again." I've tried my iphone 4 with the same result. I've tried the utilty on my pc and same result. The airport is producing a great wireless signal and working to all devices. I really just want to get in and set the password.

I have reset several times with no success.
When you did those resets, did you continue to hold in the reset button until the status light blinked several times? If you didn't, then you didn't do a full reset.
Here's what I do to reset an AirPort base station: I unplug it, press in the reset button, then, while continuing to hold in the reset button, I plug it in. (Yes, doing this can be easier for people with more than two hands!) I then watch the status light and wait until it flashes rapidly several times.
I have a Time Capsule that I couldn't configure at one point. To recover from that I had to unplug it for many hours. You might try unplugging your unit overnight.
By the way, you've been misled by poor field labeling on this forum into typing a large part of your original message into the field intended for the subject. In the future just type a short summary of your post into that field and type the whole message into the field below that.

'An unexpected error occurred' using AirPort Utility to configure an Extreme

Hi all, I've been fighting with this problem for a while. I have a 2011 Mac Mini running OS X 10.7.5 and AirPort Ulility 6.2. I also have a new-ish AirPort Extreme A1408. They've never really seemed to work properly together. The only way to configure the device is to manually launch the AirPort Utility, go "file > configure other" and enter the password "public" to log in and manually change the settings.
If I hard-reset (which I've been doing to troubleshoot another issue) and simply choose "Other AirPort Base Stations (1)" I can see my router in the drop-down. It goes through the process of gathering information and joining the default wireless network (I'm using the unsecured default right now as a matter of fact), but then the process ends with 'An unexpected error occurred'. Even with that message displayed, the default wi-fi connection stays up (clicking cancel kills the wi-fi connection immediately).
I can always go back through the "file > configure other" process and set it up manually, but then it never appears in the AirPort Utility as a connected base station - all I see is a green light for Internet and a "No configured base stations have been found" message.
Here's what I'm seeing in the Console:

Looks like after I open AirPort Utility, the connection to the default wireless network is established, the system goes to probe the base station, says "nope I know this guy already", then the process spits out the 'An unexpected error occurred' message, I click "cancel", and the link is dropped.
Does anyone know why my AirPort does this? Is it a network configuration setting somewhere in the Mac? I've had this thing for a while and of course decided to dive into the Apple ecosystem entirely dropping to a single Windows gaming rig, only to find that the special magic doesn't work for me

Read this please, before assuming your AirPort Extreme is broken. The links at the end will likely resolve your issues. First try to rollback your AirPort's firmware to 6.1.1, which should restore your Internet connectivity. If it does, but you'd rather have the most recent upgrade available, follow the steps given in the following links, 6.1.3 should work fine for you then.
After numerous attempts by apple IT reps to persuade me that my modem was somehow the cause of my AirPort Extreme broadcasted WiFi network suddenly losing connectivity after the 6.1.3update, I found the truth that helped me to correct my own problem, and successfully use 6.1.3 rather than the rolled back version 6.1 i had been forced to resort to.
If rolling back your Airport's firmware fixes your connectivity issue, or your dns server has been erased by the update to 6.1.3, I speculate that these links will help you out greatly.
It turned out, that this was A KNOWN ISSUE to Apple! With an actual fix Published by Apple themselves! They've just got it hidden away because they must have wanted to drive me to the brink of insanity. . Luckily for Apple I worked with an amazing rep *(Thelma) who at least acted as if she didn't think I was a crazy person. I found the fix on my own after 16 grueling, redundant and fruitless, hours of troubleshooting (time wasting) with "senior" Apple techs.
Let me tell you, 'I told you so' has never sounded so sweet. (Thelma) was ****** that no one in the company bothered to fill her in on this issue or solution and had her support send me a new AirPort just before I discovered the fix. After the discovery, she told me not to bother sending either back, and apologized for the run around that took up weeks of my life.

Help? I keep getting "Unexpected Error" everytime I try to use my new Airport Express to extend my network from my 500GB Time Capsule.

I am trying to extend my network from my 500GB Time Capsule using the new Airport Express I just bought, but no matter what I try I keep getting "Unexpected Error. Try again". The Express is still flashing Amber. I cannot get it to turn green. What am I doing wrong here? Please help me.

Locate the AirPort Express in the same room as the Time Capsule for the setup.
Power off and restart the Time Capsule
Shut down and restart the Mac. Turn on the wireless on the Mac and temporarily disconnect the Ethernet cable from the Mac to the AirPort Express. In other words, you want to set up the AirPort Express using wireless, since that is the way that it will be used.
Hold in the reset button on the AirPort Express for 9-10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the Express to restart.
Click the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen and wait a few seconds for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear. Just below that, click directly on AirPort Express.
AirPort Setup will open up and take a minute to analyze the network, then announce that the Express will be configured to extend the Time Capsule network.
Enter a device name that you want to use and click Next
Wait a minute while AirPort Setup configures everything, and hopefully announces a message of Setup Complete. Click Done.
Now move the AirPort Express to a location that is about half way between the Time Capsule and the area that needs more wireless coverage. Avoid obstructions in the signal path between the Time Capsule and AirPort Express as much as possible.
Walls, ceilings, mirrors, heavy furniture, etc. just kill the wireless signal quality. Keep any cordless phones as far away from either router as possible.
It would be much better if you could plan to connect the Time Capsule and AirPort Express using an Ethernet cable, as best case.....you will be losing about half of the network speed trying to use wireless to extend.

Have you tried using a WEP password for your wireless network instead of a WPA one? That fixed it for me.

HT3728 When I reconnect my Time Capsule after a factory reset, the Airport Utility shows ther message"Unexpected error. Try again." I also get this if I redo the factory reset.

The Time Capsule is not providing a wireless connection.
When I reconnect my Time Capsule after a factory reset, the Airport Utility shows ther message"Unexpected error. Try again." I also get this if I cancel the Airport Utility app and restart it. I performed the factory reset again, restarted the Airport Utility and received the same error. What are the steps to debug and fix the wireless problem?
My Time Capsule is connected to my FIOS router and to my Mac Mini. I am still able to connect to the Internet from the Mini via ethernet. It seems that the Time Capsule acts as a bridge for the ethernet connections between Internet to FIOS, FIOS to Time Capsule, and Time Capsule to Mac Mini.

Which model TC is this? The A1xxx number from the base please.
Try the setup in full isolation from the network.. so unplug the TC from the network.. and turn off wireless in the mini.. so you have mini--ethernet--lan port TC.. and nothing else.
Do the factory reset.
Now check if TC comes up in airport utility..
If it fails, turn on ipv6 local link.. if you are using 6.3 utility this could be necessary.
Still fails, try loading the v5 utility.. you will need to plug the computer back into the FIOS to get internet. Then depending on OS.. Lion according to your profile.. you can just down the utility.. ML takes more steps.
See below.
Do you have an iphone or ipad.. download the airport utility app and use those for the setup.. that can sometimes work better.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 (now 6.2 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

Airport Express turns off unexpectedly

Hy, I have a problem from a week with my airport espress.
It turns off unexpectedly, when I connect it to the electrical outlet,
it works for a few minutes (good wireless signal). After few minutes
It turns off, like no power. If I muve the cable, it starts to work, but after few mitutes
it turns off.
I think thet the problem is related to the power supply (I tried to change several outlets).
suggestions?
Thanks
Matteo

HT3728 I keep getting 'an unexpected error occurred. Try again.' error message when trying to reconnect to my AirPort Time Capsule. I have soft and hard reset and, eventually, factory reset the device. What do I do to correct the error?

Hi Philjp,
If you are having issues connecting to your Airport Time Capsule, even after a factory reset, you may find the following article helpful:

Airport extreme continuously blinks orange, it is an older model not used for some time. airport utility can see it but just reports an unexpected error message.

My airport extreme continuously blinks orange. I have tried unplugging and starting again also pressing the reset button to no avail. It shows as connected to the internet but when selected in airport utility I just receive the message "unexpected error occurred try again" and I can't get past this point. any ideas?

Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
