Airport will only give a signal to one device at a time

Went to access internet from Iphone.  Iphone would connect and show good signal strength but not work.  Imac was working.  After resetting and unplugging cables I got the Iphone to work only to turn around and find the Imac not working.  It seems I can fix the problem by unplugging the cat 5 cable from router that feeds the airport.  Devices continue to work unless i leave the covered area or it somehow looses its connection overnight.  I cant tell if I have a bad router, airport or cable?  If I plug the cable from the router directly into the computer it works as it should. Any guesses?

Please post screenshots of the setup of the Airport.
I strongly recommend you reset it to factory and start over.
The Factory Reset universal
Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
Release reset.
If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE 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.
When you do the setup take particular note of the names that are recommended by the utility to use.. and DO NOT USE THEM.
Use names that are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric .. eg AEgenx and wifi name AEwifi
Then show me in screenshots what the problem is.
I do not know the modem you use.. all I am interested in is the WAN setup so please show me that in the AE.

  • Time Capsule which will only let me connect to one device at a time. Anyone else experience this?

    I have a Time Capsule which I use with a Macbook Pro and an iMac, as well as my iPhone and an Airport Express. It appears as though it will currently only allow me to connect to one device at a time. I had my MBP and iMac sitting side by side and ran Aiport Utility on both. The Time Capsule would only show up on one or the other but not both. Anyone else experience this? It was working great until a day or so ago.

    It sounds as if your Time Capsule is in "Bridge Mode", which would only allow one device to connect to the Internet at a time.
    To check......
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup
    Click the Internet icon
    Check the setting for Connection Sharing
    If it is "Off (Bridge Mode)", change it to "Share a public IP address"

  • How do I attach a folder that contains multiple documents? I try and it will only allow me to pick one document at a time.

    I'm trying to upload to my school's online blackboard (which is where I submit papers) and I cannot seem to figure out how to upload a folder I made on my desktop. I created multple folders containing more than one document and thought this would be easier then each individual document. But I cannot attach the whole folder. I have to pick each document which I could have done in the beginning!! Any thoughts? I tried to hit shift and then control to highlight all of them but that did not work. Any advice welcome:)

  • I have one blackberry id and two blackberry's but can only receive e-mails on one device!

    Hi all,
    I have a problem! I have one blackberry id and two blackberry. I have given my old blackberry to my wife.
    I have just setup my new phone but whilst setting up my e-mails on my new phone we have noticed that the e-mails have been transferred to my new phone but have stopped working on my old phone.
    The odd thing is my wife had a previous blackberry and we were able to both get the company e-mails on each phone.
    The message that appears when e-mails have been transferred to the new phone is there is another device registered to this blackberry id and only one device can receive e-mail.
    How can I unregistered my old phone from the blackberry id and re-register it under my wife's details and hopefully receive the e-mails on both phones?
    Please help as its vital for the business.
    Cheers Nick

    Hi woodbe and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
    The BlackBerry ID is only designed to work on one device at a time. Your wife can sign up for a new BlackBerry ID by going to www.blackberry.com/blackberryid.  Also, to receive email on her device, she will have to have a BlackBerry data plan configured with your wireless network provider as well.
    To change the BlackBerry ID on her device, you can back it up using the BlackBerry Desktop Software, then perform a security wipe from Options>Security.  Upon the reboot, sign in with the new BlackBerry ID, then you can restore the data using the BlackBerry Desktop Software again.
    Thanks.

  • If I purchase a second Airport, will it strengthen the signal from the router in one part of the house , so that the printer, in a basement can see it?

    I have a router in my upstairs, main floor of the house.   My iMac connects easily to the router, but the printer does not.  If I purchase a second Airport, will it strengthen the signal from the router so the printer will connect wirelessly to the network?
    I had the printer connected to the iMac by USB , but when I upgraded the iMac to Maverick OS10  my scanner no longer worked, the more I fussed with it the less productive it was.   Now the printer no longer is available at all.   The computer does not see it.  
    The message when I turn them on is that the USB is not compatible.    I unplugged the USB cable,  and would like to connect wirelessly.
    Thank you for any hints

    If you have an Apple router now providing your wireless network, you could add another....like an AirPort Express, for example....to "extend" the signal wirelessly and provide more coverage.
    This is always a bit tricky, because the AirPort Express would need to be located where it can receive a strong signal from the main AirPort wireless router.
    For example, if you need more wireless signal in a bedroom at the end of the house, you would locate the AirPort Express about half way between the main AirPort router and the bedroom.
    On a side note......only the print function will work when you connect an All-in-One device to the USB port on an AirPort, so connect the All-in-One using wireless for full functionality.

  • Extend Wireless Network using a Telstra technicolor Gateway wireless Router to Airpot extreme but Airport will only except join not extend and I can not get a network on the Airpor Extreme ethernet ports but can ping Airport extreme from Technicolor Rout/

    Extend Wireless Network using a Telstra technicolor Gateway wireless Router to Airpot extreme but Airport will only except "join a wireless network (which it does) not "extend a wireless network" (Led turns yellow and I can not get a network working on the Airpor Extreme ethernet ports but can ping Airport extreme from Technicolor Router.
    Airport gets it address DHCP.

    Funny how I can ping the Extreme but the Hard Ethernet ports dont seem to work correctly.
    When the AirPort Extreme is configured to "Join" a wireless network, the Ethernet ports are not enabled.
    Oddly, the AirPort Express has a special feature that will allow it to to "Join" virtually any wireless network.....and the Ethernet port can be enabled. So, an Express would work for your purpose to provide an Ethernet connection to the media player. This assumes that the Express is located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from your main router.
    Note that the Express will not provide any additional wireless coverage when it "Joins".

  • My MacBook Pro won't start up it it will only give me a padlock

    My MacBook Pro won't start up it will only gives me a big padlock

    I sent it out for repair to PowerBook Medic because apple said they could fix it but for 1200 which I got it fixed for 800! So I thought but when it was returned it is doing the same thing that it was doing before when I just press the power button it is searching. And when I boot up in options it gives me the Big Padlock!
    If apple knows how to bypass this how come it is not shared with the public when this is A TOP Issue that I see all the time. I never set a firmware password I thing the app.e Genius Bar set one when I had brought it in way before this problem.
    If anyone knows how to bye pass this pad lock password I am all ears.
    Thanks Suzanne

    Time Capsule only works for one device at a time, how to make it capable to be used for multiple devices at times.
    Please help to set it up, thanks in advance

    You need to give more info..
    Firstly only works for what.. networking.. backup.. wireless. You need more nouns.. more adjectives... describe what you want and what fails.. then we can figure out why.
    Most likely you have bridged it when it should be in router mode..
    Most likely you are using Lion or ML which has the airport utility bridge the TC by default.
    Change it to working as a router. That might help.
    If you press reset button it will default back to router btw.
    If you are on Lion.. use a real utility. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1547

  • I can only use Flash Player in one tab at a time, only on Firefox.

    Recently, when I downloaded the new Flash Player, I can only use flash player in one tab at a time. This is only in firefox. I'll open youtube, and the visual and sound both play perfectly. I open up a new tab, begin using a flash website in that tab, and the youtube sound is quiet, only the visual continues to play. I need to multitask with flash sometimes, and this is a big problem for me. Help!

    By default, Flash 11.3 and higher will spin up a lot of distinct processes. You should be able to get quite a cacophony going.
    Have you ever done any troubleshooting that involves changing how Firefox works with plugin-container.exe or the Flash player's protected mode?
    Often it is helpful to disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash:
    (A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    (B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
    Unrelated, but you can remove the Java Console extensions unless you are a Java developer (and even then, you probably don't need the old ones):
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category

  • Found iCal events in Time Machine.  Now Lion only allowing me to import one event at a time.

    Upgrade my macbook pro over the weekend to Snow Leopard and then Lion.   I lost all my the majority of my iCal events.   Went to Apple store and they said that was rare and not sure how to restore my last back up from Time Machine on an external drive.   I've been spending hours trying to go through a bunch of threads on different MAC formums.  
    So I finally found my iCal events in Time Machine.   When I try to import these events, I am only allowed to highlight/import one event at a time.   This will take me forever to import years of missing data.   I basically have been using my iCal to journal for my 3 small daughters - first tooth, hair cut, etc.   So I am desperate to get these events back so I can get them printed and SAFE.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to import my ics files?   The Apple Store Genius had me tryng to import the corestorage.ics files.   2 or 3 of those files showed they were trying to be imported for over 4 hours.   I finally Forced Quit iCal.   I've tried this several times and same result. 
    The corestorage files were under user/library/application support/ical/sources
    I now located the calendar events user/library/calendars/ then a bunch of coded files leading to the events.  These events appear to be the ones I am looking for as I can read some of the files.   I have several years I want to import back into my working iCal.  
    Please help if you know how!!!
    Thank you,
    Very Upset Mama of 3 little girls

    Thomas - You are awesome - THANK YOU!  
    I did exactly what you said (CAN"T believe an Apple Genius did not know this) and I think all of my events got restored.  
    However, it duplicated all of the calendars - I have 6 (one for each family member plus an extra called home that we all have to do).   Not sure if I did something wrong, but do you have any ideas?  
    Also, the time setting must be wrong b/c I have events from 2008 showing up in 2012 - same day and time as the old sessoin - just out dated.    Do I need to manually change all of this?   Should I delete the Calendars folder again and try again?  
    Also, I read some where about deleting a iCal cache file.   Do I need to do this?
    I TRULY appreciate you taking the time to help people in this forum.   I have spent hours the past two days trying to figure this out.   Plus, now I need to figure out about upgrading my Office for Mac b/c I didn't realize I lost Office 2004 when upgrading to Lion.   
    Thank you for your time and support!

    You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.
    This is a confusing statement. Can really move the rental between devices or not???  

    If you originally downloaded it to a computer, yes. If you originally downloaded it to an iOS device, probably not; if you want to try anyway, use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes.
