Any problem with Airport Utility 5.3.2 and an AirDisk

Morning.
Can I harmlessly update onto Airport Utility 5.3.2 without getting troubles using an USB hard disk connntected to the Airport Extreme base station? 5.3.1 has fixed a bug that has caused reiterative disconnects to the AirDisk occurring with 5.3.0.
And I really to not want to get these troubles back in 5.3.2.
Are my fears baseless?
TIA and kind regards, Friedrich

Airport Utility 5.3.2 is quite harmless. More people having problem with OS X 10.5.3 update, which is making the AirDisk very slow and unresponsive. I end up re-formating the USB hard disk to solve the problem.

Printer problem with Airport Utility and Epson CX5500

Hi,
I recently bought an iMac '24 2.66 Computer and was able to set up my internet through an airport. When it came to hooking up a wireless Epson CX5500 printer, the airport recognized it, but when it came to print in the printing queue it simply wont print. I was able to find a very helpful post that would possibly be my next step in fixing it (probably just a program error or hook up)
Here is that post:

+Hi there,+
+I had the same problem, but with an Epson CX5500.+
+Firstly, BTW - I found out there IS a list of supported printers: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1370?viewlocale=en_US. Before you scream - "that's leopard you idiot"; in the table, if the printer is listed with a MODERN driver, then it will work with Airport Base Station - eg TimeCapsule.+
+Next. My problem was solved by deleting the spaces put into the printer name by timecapsule. When the printer is recognised it was called "Epson CX 5500". My Macbook printer service then set up a Queue which was mdns://...Epson%20CX%205500... Note - substitution of %20 for space in the name. I removed the spaces from the name via airport utility, manual set up, printers. Now the macbook could print to it.+
Cheers,
Mark
The problem that i have is the step by step process of altering this or finding it. As i made the name of the shared printer EPSONStylusCX5500 but could not acess the printer name one to change it. The url link still shows the 20%. If someone could please take the time to explain on how to do it, then maybe just maybe, i would be able to print wirelessly. Any other ideas or even cheap printers that would work without a problem as i would simply go out and buy one instead. Thanks.

What does not work? Can you open up AirPort Utility and take us through the steps? What happens after each step?

Timecapsule and iMac Early 2008 - Problems with Airport Utility

I have bought a new iMac and a TimeCapsule. With *Leopard 10.5.5* i have some problems to change the configuration. The Assistant will not work. The changed settings will not send to theTime Capsule (Ethernet or and Wireless). The airport signal is _very low_ under OSX (-60 — -64 dB). When I use airport with Windows XP on Bootcamp partition it will work fine. No problems with changing settings and the signal is -1 db.
Who has the same problems or can help me!

Any problem with dblinks between 8.1.7 and 10gR2?

Hi,
Just want to know if any of you have encountered problem using a dblink between an Oracle database 8.1.7 and a brand new 10.2?
I guess simple query from the 8i db to 10gR2 data would be OK...or not!?
But what for queries with joins???
Many Thanks in advance for your help,

Could any of you 'copy & paste' the Metalink Note:207303.1 here on the OTN forum?

Any problems with migrating In Design files from Mac to PC?

My wife is a commercial artist, and we are considering getting CS4 here at home on our PC. She has a Mac at work. Are there any problems with switching files between the Mac and the PC so she can get some work done on the same files at both the office and at home?
Thanks!

One recurring problem I have is the different types of the Symbol font. Mac InDesign insists on adding (TT) -- "Symbol (TT)" -- to 'Windows' documents, and vice versa. I think the root of the problem is Symbol on Windows is an OTF font, whereas on the Mac it's still a 'regular' TTF. My Mac compadres tell me it's not easy to transfer the Windows font to the Mac -- its own version apparently being rooted deep inside the system.
However, it's not a big issue, as we by default encapsulate Symbol with a character style. So when ID alerts us, all we have to do is redefine this style, be it on Windows or on Mac. Fortunately I've never seen text reflowing because of this (knocks on plywood desk).

Setting up airport express with airport extreme 802.11n with Airport Utilit

Hi,
I'm having trouble setting up my airport express(AX). Having recently bought the new Airport Extreme (AE) basestation, I can't figger out how to set it up to recognize the AX and allow me to stream airtunes. Previously I had the AX setup fine, but once I installed the AE, it no longer was recognized.
After resetting the AX, the airport Utility recognizes the AE and the AX as basestations, but I don't want to have to switch back and forth from wireless networks everytime I want to listen to music in another room. Airport Admin seemed to have been wiped out when I installed the AE, so any documents I've found on the Apple site refer to AA and not Airport Utility.
HAs anyone set up their AX on the new AE basestation?
thanks!
Rene

I am currently experiencing the same issue, except that I cannot for the life of me get the AX to:
1) Stop flashing yellow - numerous resets -soft to default.
2) The airport utility will not recognize it.
The airport utility sees the AE no problem, I got that up and running after a few restarts and am now able to log on to the network with my laptop.
I am new to Mac's and this is the 1st time I have tried to set up a network with one, I was excited about being able to use the AX to play my iTunes through the stereo in the other room and to hopefully use it to connect my X-Box to the internet. But I am starting to think that this is either above my skills or a fruitless endeavor. Any help would be most appreciated!
Thanks

Problems with Airport setup after buying Version 7 models, (older ones will not upgrade)

Problems with Airport setup after buying Version 7 models, (older ones will not upgrade)
I re set up my Airport network , having had 4 expresses for years doing a good job. I bought another and an express, but then a time capsule after my external drive died. .Problems with Airport setup after buying Version 7 models, (older ones will not upgrade)
I moved house and have fibre network so 38mb/s - they all look ok on the utility, but its not till I saw the App version that they are not compatible as mac will not upgrade the version 6 ones, leaving me with 2 disjointed networks and 7 appliances, 4 of the old , 3 of the new.
my new house is expansive so i wanted the extended range and airplay in each room.
This is not told to customers, and utility doesnt show any issues.
I do not seem to get any range from either network now, - and I'm quite experienced with airport (6 yrs of setting up & using & extending)
Any advice ?

Itunes 7.7 - problem with airport express remote speakers

I upgraded to 7.7 and when I try to connect to my remote speakers, itunes either does not play or the sound cuts in and out. Anyone have any suggestions?
Duq

Having the same problem have 2 Airport Expresses and have problems with one of them locking up and not appearing on itunes or in the airport utility anymore.
Switching it to ethernet usage to see if that helps or will try factory reseting it next.
Have already tried hard and soft resets.

Time Capsule 4 gen. with iMac OS X Lion 3 Windows PC (XP OS, Vista OS, Seven OS) cable modem with TC as Wi-Fi. Time Machine on iMac found TC for backup easily. Have Wi-Fi access on PC XP with Airport utility but cannot create TC.

Installed today Time Capsule 4 gen. with iMac OS X Lion. I also have 3 Windows PC (XP OS, Vista OS, Seven OS). Internet Access is cable modem with TC as Wi-Fi. Time Machine on iMac found TC for backup easily. Have Wi-Fi access on PC XP with Airport utility but cannot create TC. Does the Airport utility under Windows is way to access backup capabilities with TC ?

The TC is really just an external networked hard disk plus router.. you can access the hard disk and place files on it from any computer. You can backup any computer to the TC but it will have to use a backup software in windows.. there are literally thousands available. The built in msbackup is horrible.. but you can download lots of different software and buy then online for not a lot. Macrium Reflect has a free disk image backup, and when you pay for it includes incremental. I think disk images are well worth it, as they recover much better.. and their is a proper method of recovery using a boot cd.
BTW the TC space is not endless. And it is designed to hold a large number of incremental backups.. so anything you do in backing up several machines will make the number of backups limited. Remember you can also use a usb hard disk plugged in as a Network accessible disk. But it has to be formatted HFS+ or Fat32.. the later being highly undesirable.

Any problems with using ONLY windows?

I have run to my end with OSX. Just want to use my iMac and all of its matched-hardware goodness with XP since it seems pretty stable. And the utilities that I work with in my line of work are windows only.
Has anyone seen any problems with stability or anything like that with running JUST windows all the time?

Hi Jonathan,
What trouble shooting have you tried for your iMac?
Have you check the hard disk for errors?
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 15% free disk space. Not enough disk space can cause directory corruption.
If you cannot boot from your install disk, try booting in Safe Mode

Setup problems with airport extreme and cable.

I am trying to install a new airportextreme 802.11n with cable (comcast) using a Motorola SURFboard eXtreme. The airport extreme keeps blinking amber. Any suggestions?

Should I connect the modem to the AEBS before I power it up?
Yes, all devices that normally are interconnected by Ethernet, should be connected during the power recycle.
If it continues to flash amber, should I still go through the set up with Airport Utility? If so, manual or let it guide me?
Yes. The following Apple Support article describes the flashing amber status light in more detail.
By default, your AEBS will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a network name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN. You would then use the AirPort Utility to make any required configuration changes. The Utility has two basic modes: 1) Assist-me (aka Automatic) and 2) Manual Setup. The latter is used to fine-tune any settings. The assisted mode, should take you through the steps to get the AEBS up and running properly for most common configurations.
Please feel free to post back if you have any questions on setting your AEBS up.

why is streaming to my sony TV slowing to .4 mbps from 8.ombps while watching a netflix movie? this has become a problem in the last 2 months. This also happens on another TV but not concurrently.. Is it a problem with "airport extreme" or with the IP service? Airport extreme software is up to date.
please advise
Michaelgfrommet

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

TC will not communicate with Airport Utility error -6753. Wireless, internet (unsecure), and backup work fine., ,

TC is not communicating with Airport Utility (error -6753). I do have a flashing amber light. The wireless (printer, TiVo), internet (unsecure), and backups to Time Capsule work fine. I have done many hard and soft Resets, but that has not helped. Airport utility show the TC as amber and but won't let me findout the status of what is causing the problem.

What mode is the TC running in, router or bridged? You can sometimes have issues if the TC is bridged and the network is getting IP in a different subnet.
I would recommend disconnecting the TC from the network and plugging it directly into the Mac via ethernet. You may also need to do a reset if the dhcp is off, as in bridge.
Also note are you pressing the reset for long enough that the led on front starts blinking rapidly.. hold it in for 15sec to be sure.

Problems with Disk Utility Repairing Permissions

Has anyone who had problems with Disk Utility after installing 10.5.1 through Software Update been able to resolve them by installing the Combo update instead?

The Solution?
REINSTALL OSX using the Install DVD.
I called APPLE Support and we went through a troubleshooting process to rule out Network Issues, Software Issues, File Issues and Hardware Issues. This process was very thorough.
In the end, we used the Operating System Installation DVD to reinstall the system, which took about 60 minutes including downloading the updates. Reinstallation did not affect any files or lose any applications. Everything was as I left it -- nothing was missing. Easy.
Now everything is back to normal.
