Airport won't connect to all devices (Macbook and iPhone 5s)

I have an Airport issue, that I can't figure out.
My iMac and other iPhone 5s in the house work fine. My other devices will not connect and it's frustrating. The wifi on these devices works fine other places with different routers.
1) My Macbook Pro version 10.6.8 sees the Airport and says the Airport is connected. It will not connect to the internet. I have tried the following:
Most common Wifi issues
2) I cannot connect to wifi on my iPhone 5S. I have tried trouble shooting this issue following Apple instructions.
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections - Apple Support
Any help is appreciated.

Exactly what model airport do you have??
Running what firmware?
Let me suggest the following.
1. Reset the airport to factory.
2. Do the setup with all short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
eg Base station name.. AEgenx (put actual number for gen of the AE). Use two wireless names.. AE24ghz and AE5ghz to force the bands to the obvious name.
3. Do not apply passwords for wireless yet.
4. On the client computers. IPv6 must be set to link-local only which is now crucial to getting things to work.
5. Clean out all the wireless names.. from all the clients.. then reboot them and rediscover the wireless network.
6. Check all devices can connect to the AE. .if it fails, test with fixed wireless channels.. particularly 2.4ghz try 11, 6, 1 in that order.
No luck the AE might be too old.. but you now have the simplest possible AE setup and if wireless still fails it is hardware or client issue.
7. This is now the point where assuming everything works you add security .. WPA2 Personal with pure alphanumeric password mixed case and numbers.. 8-20 characters long.
Now check again that after you put in the password everything works.. make sure you set stuff to remember the password.

You will need to install an App like Print Central on the iPad to try to print to the printer. It will allow you to print to most printers. Check with their support folks if you need more info.

Backing up data on old MACBOOK and iPhone 3

Hi all,
What is the best way to help my friend back up her data?
I have a friend with an older white MacBook running I believe 10.5 and an older iPhone three or three GS
Currently the MacBook has only 10 gigs free
And her iPhone 3g has over 4000 pictures
As far as I know nothing has ever been backed up before! Yikes!
GOAL : back up all her MacBook and iPhone data
Question: what is the best course of action?
MY THINKING…
1 - get an external drive and back up the computer first using carbon copy cloner or superduper
2 - empty some space so that the MacBook has many more gigabytes to work with
3 - back up (SYNC) the iPhone to the MacBook - now that there are more gigabytes free
4 - now back up the MacBook second time with all the Data from the iPhone included
Q: Is that the best way to go?
ALSO…
As a short-term solution I was thinking if I could attach her old iPhone three to my MacBook Pro which is already synced to my iPhone five
Q: - if I connect her iPhone three using USB– Can I just use image capture out to grab all her photos for safety? With that in any way screw up her syncing connections to her MacBook later? What about My iPhone 5 after….. ex… what devices are connected it asks if you want to trust this computer? Can someone explain exactly what that means– And how it affects your main computer syncing later?

any help would be appreciated on this

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Airport won't connect to network

Hi there. I'm having heaps of trouble creating and maintaining my wifi network. I will set up the network the usual way, Preferences> Ethernet/Airport> Internet sharing etc. All is fine and dandy, I can now connect to my iMac's wifi network from my phone. But wait! Now the internet is not working on my computer! So I go back to system preferences, connect to Ethernet, now my iMac's internet connection is working again, phew. But wait! Now I can't connect to my wifi network anymore! So back to sytem preferences to connect to wifi network. But wait! It's not even there anymore! Cool. Try typing in network name and password, doesn't find it! Repeat process a gazillion times, no wifi for olivehere. Please halp! I'm at my wits end. I'm using a 4-5 year old iMac with Snow Leopard, 10.6.8 with a crappy router without wifi. Thanks a million

Charger won't connect in all the way.

Hey, I have a fifth generation ipod touch. The charger won't connect in all the way. Plus it won't charge at all. I don't remember doing anything to it at all. My dad is usually the one that charges it for me in the morning. Do you think he put the usb the wrong way and forced it. I'm not sure why it's like this. I had a warranty thing. I never filled it out is it to late? I just got this about a few months ago.

Plug into what?
The iPod? The Ligntning connector plugs into theiPod ither way.
A USB port?

I just bought an iphone and an ipad, the ipad connects to my BT Homehub but my phone won't connect at all. The phone has connected to other networks fine... any suggestions?

When and where was the iPad/charger purchased? It's covered by a 1-year warranty.
The problem may be the USB cable.

Hi,
As you have match, I suggest that you create a new library by holding ctrl whist launching iTunes. Select create new library. Sign into iTunes Store and activate match. You will now have access to your music and will be able to stream your music.
Options : get a new external drive formatted for mac and either download music from match or copy music from old drive to new one. Alternatively you could reformat old drive and download music from match - I would not be comfortable using this option as it means erasing drive before being able to use with mac.

I forgot my passcode, so I was unable to access my phone. I then tried to restore it, but it has frozen during the process. It won't connect to my mac again and I can't stop the process because my lock button is broken. What do I do?

I forgot my passcode, so I was unable to access my phone. I then tried to restore it, but it has frozen during the process. It won't connect to my mac again and I can't stop the process because my lock button is broken. What do I do?

My first advice is "Back up the device, then have it replaced." Second item of advice, "Don't forget your passcode."
One of the purposes of the lock button is to recover from certain software failures. Without the lock button, such a recovery is nearly impossible. My advice would have served you best when the malfuction first developed, not after you forgot your passcode.

according to the tech specs' required to use iClode it seems that Apple is ignoring it's promisses to their valued costumers since 2001..I have to go to an Apple store and buy a new MacBook and iPhone..mm yeah right we are all swimming in cash. On June Apple had promissed it's old valued costumers that they can continue to access their Mac mail accounts via a browser. But hey ! why keep promisses. Now you need to purchase all the latest gadgets to use y'r Mac mail-iCloud. MOVING TO GMAIL !

If you had a MobileMe account, and provided you migrated it to iCloud before 1 August, you can access your email at http://icloud.com on any modern browser. 10.7.2 minimum and iOS5 or 6 are required for the devices to use iCloud syncing and other facilities.
If you have Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard you can set Mail up manually to access the email on an existing iCloud account:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Tiger

Hi..I have an AirPort Extreme base connected to my DSL Modem and has been working fine. But I recently bought another DSL modem along with the latest Airport Express. With this one however I can't get it to connect to the Internet. Any suggestions?

Hi..I have an AirPort Extreme base connected to my DSL Modem and has been working fine. But I recently bought another DSL modem along with the latest Airport Express. With this one however I can't get it to connect to the Internet. The light on the Express is flashing green though. Does it mean I have to re-set the settings on Airport Utility? I.e. the old settings haven't been cleared yet. Any suggestions?

Let's see if I can get this straight.
You have an Airport Extreme base station that is set to "Create a wireless network" and you have the box checked for "allow this network to be extended"....
Then you have an Airport Express that is set to "Extend a wireless network" which you selected the name of your network in the box...
Correct?
See this Apple document:

The wireless unit on the right of the diagram can be either of the newer Apple base stations.
Extreme, Express, Time Capsule
