An error occurred while trying to access the Apple Wireless Device

Hello All;
I just bought an Airport Extreme Base Station today and am all ready having problems. I am running a PC. I connected a Motorola DSL model to the Airport's QAN port and then I connected the computer to one of the Ethernet ports. When I first loaded the software that came with it, things worked perfectly and I was able to connect to the internet. Then, when I opened up the configuration file, and try to enter the configuration manually, I receive the error ... "An error occurred trying to access the Apple Wireless Device. Make sure your network connection is valid and try again". When I try to open the Manual setup I get that error. Also why are the "settings" always grayed out ? I am connected ot the Internet but can't understand why I can't do a manual setup or change any of the settings. I reset my passwords and need to change them again but am unable to do that. Thanks for any help and advice you can give me.
Tim

I am about to return this unit to the store I bought it at. I keep getting an error 6753 whenever I try to do any kind of configuration. Most of the configuration options are grayed out in the setup utility anyway. There is a ton of stuff about this problem on the internet. There are a few solutions offered like modify the tcp/ip properties but I sure can't figure out what they're talking about. Not everyone who buys this is going to be tech savvy.
I'll call tech Support tonite and if they can't offer a permanent soultion, I'm returning the Airport Extreme and separate dsl modem tomorrow and getting a wireless dsl router specifically designed for the PC.

  • Error (-6722) occurred while trying to access the Apple Wireless device

    I receive the following error when I press 'manual setup' or 'continue' from within the airport utility:
    "An error ocurred while trying to access the Apple wireless device. Make sure your network connection is valid and try again
    Error -6722"
    Everything is working on the Airport express but I can't run the utility. Should I hazard a reset of the device to factory settings?

    Aaaaaaand as I was writing that, I managed to fix it. Not sure how exactly. The variables that were used that worked:
    On windows, running AU 5.5.2, right clicking upload firmware in the device list, choosing other, selecting a random firmware other than 7.3 (I think i ended up using 7.4.2) and clicking upload. Instead of trying to communicate with the APExpress, it directly uploaded the firmware and then it restarted, I got a crazy amber blink cycle I have never seen before (Three fast long blinks, and the three short fast blinks, repeat). Then it restarted and it was back to normal. Woohoo! There goes 5 hours of my life.

  • Error - 6753 "error accured while trying to access the apple wireless devic

    Hi I have an Airport Extreme with time capsule 1TB. It worked fine with all my win XP and Macs at home but suddenly it started with the message in the header. it pops up " An Error accurred while trying to access Apple wireless device. Make sure your network connection is valid and try again. Error -6753.
    What does it mean. I can access internet just fine and can print from the thing but can;t access my storage. Why is it happening? It all worked just fine before.
    your advice will be much appreciated

    Just a quick note: It says I have a macbook pro on my sigature. I do have one. I also connect a Dell XPS 600 (XP SP3), Dell 1420 laptop (Vista Ultimate), and an HP LaserJet 2420 (usually on the USB port, occasionally on the WAN ((RJ45))port. So far the airport has handled everything. I've had best results when setting it up from only the computer that uses the direct ethernet port. Add all the other stuff - wireless, USB - afterwards. Also, the Bonjour utility, which you can download from Apple's support site, is quite useful in setting up the printer.
    If you want to see what the IP address of the airport actually is, you can go to Start, Run, type CMD (brings up a dos window), then type "ipconfig" (no quotes) and you will see an IP address for "default gateway". That is the address of the airport, when you have to use the "Other" option. Similarly, the command "ipconfig /all" (no quotes) will give you the IP addresses of all the devices connected to the airport.
    OK, it wasn't such a short note.

  • An error occurred while trying to access the service?

    I'm trying to convert a PDF into Excel but I get the message 'an error occurred while trying to access the service'.
    I have tried logging into my Adobe account online and doing it within there, but once I have exported the file and pressed 'convert' it simply says 'conversion failure' with no explanation.
    My subscription is still valid, so I don't see why the problems?  Has anyone else had this issue and managed to fix it?  I get the error message regardless of whether I'm trying to convert to Word or Excel.
    Any ideas greatly appreciated!!
    Thanks

    Hi SHurcs,
    I'm sorry that you're having such trouble with your ExportPDF subscription. Does this error occur for one particular file, or with any file that you try to convert? What operating system and browser are you using?
    To get us started, here are a few things that you can try:
    In Reader, sign out, and then sign back in.
    Use a supported web browser:  http://www.adobe.com/acom/systemreqs/
    Clear the browser cache.
    If you're using a networked computer, make sure that there are no firewall/proxy settings that prevent you from uploading files to the Internet.
    Make sure that the files you're trying to convert are within the file-size limits for ExportPDF (100 MB).
    If the problem persists, please let us know, and tell us a bit more about the files that you're converting.
    Best,
    Sara

  • An error occured while trying to access the service

    i'm continually having issues with trying to convert my files from PDF to excel.  I keep on getting the error message "An error occured while trying to access the service" with no real explanation as to what is wrong.  I've tried several times on several different computers, logging on and off, changing users...same message everytime.  I have a time sensitive project to complete, and can't get it done if this conversion can't be done.  HELP!

    Please see "Error occurred when trying to access this service" when logging on to Acrobat.com.
    Adobe has just released an update to Adobe Reader, so if you're accessing the service via Reader, please let us know whether the update helps resolve the issue.

    I have never had a problem using ExportPDF in the past but recently I am getting an error message saying "an error occurred while trying to access the service".  I am using the same browser, Chrome, that I have always used.  Please tell me how to fix this.

    Has anything changed on your system since you were last able to log in to Acrobat.com? Are you using Mac OS or Windows?

    Hi I have run Set-Mailbox ian.shapton -AuditOwner Update, Move, MoveToDeletedItems, SoftDelete, HardDelete

    Hi,
    I have the same problem when I run the Search-MailboxAuditLog command.  It has been working for 2 weeks but suddenly after moving databases from one datacenter to another and back again it stopped working.  The account running the command
    is in all necessary roles needed.
    This is what I have tested after it stopped working:
    - Search-MailboxAuditLog -Identity "xxxxxxx" -LogonTypes Delegate -StartDate (Get-Date).Adddays(-1) = Works
    - Search-MailboxAuditLog -Identity "xxxxxxx" -LogonTypes Delegate -StartDate (Get-Date).Adddays(-1) -showdetails = does not work and comes with an error.
    "The Exchange Web Service returned an error while trying to access the audit log. Reason: 'Error','ErrorTimeoutExpired',
    'The search operation could not be completed within the allotted time limit. 
    Please try to narrow down your scope to reduce the result set.'."
    This is very bad for us because we use a lot of shared mailboxes with delegates and want to report delegate action on these mailboxes.
    Environment:
    - 3 datacenters
    - Exchange 2013 CU7
