Any solutions to the connection problems with AE yet!????

For quite a while now my computer has been dropping the internet connection and then finding it again CONSTANTLY. I have been trying to play counter strike on Bootcamp, and UT2004 on the mac side or even pokerstars, and everytime I play every minute or so the game loses internet connection or somthing for about 10 seconds and then it comes back and I continue playing until it happens again, and again, and again. Its driving me nuts. My computer is located pretty close to the airport, and there is no interference like phones or microwaves as well as no neighbors accessing the connection. I have also tried reverting to AE version 5.5.1. 802.11g Also i have tried changing the settings on the airport to 802.11g and the other one I can't remember which one but nether of those helped the problem whatsoever. If anyone could help me with this problem they would surely be my GOD! Oh and if it makes a difference I'm on a Intel Mac 2.0ghz.

Sean4258,
Since the AirPort Extreme base station is itself a router, it is likely that what you're calling a "router" is actually a modem. Since you're also describing a coaxial cable entering your home and screwing into the back of the modem, it appears that you have cable service rather than dsl service, and therefore, the modem is a cable modem.
It is important to you to determine what other ports are on that cable modem. Is there an ethernet port on the modem? If so, is there more than one? If more than one it may not be a cable modem, but a dsl modem. If you in fact have cable service and the modem is a cable modem, it's most likely that there is no more than one ethernet port on the cable modem.
It is also important to you to determine if you have an AirPort Extreme base station or an AirPort Express base station. There are two ethernet ports on the Extreme, which is round, 6.5" across and 3" high, and sort of space ship looking, but there is only one ethernet port on the much smaller Express which is only 3" x 3.5" x 1" in size. Besides the ethernet port, the only other port on the Express is a USB port and next to it an audio jack.
Your particular complaint probably originates from a less than optimal connection due to using a USB cable from the modem to the AirPort base station. This was NOT a good idea, and will forever make your game playing extremely unsatisfying. Your goal should be to replace the USB cable between the modem and the AirPort base station with an ethernet cable.
If it should turn out that your modem has NO ethernet port, but only a USB port, you'll need to get your service provider to replace the USB modem with a modem that has an ethernet port. If the modem was not provided by the service provider, that may present a problem of an extra expense in that it will need to be replaced by the correct type unit.
If the modem is a cable modem and has one ethernet port, get an ethernet cable of the appropriate length to reach as far as to the AirPort base station and plug it into the cable modem's ethernet port and into the AirPort Extreme's WAN port, which is the port designated by a circle of eight dots.
If it turns out that you have an AirPort Express instead of the larger Extreme, connect the ethernet cable to the lone ethernet port. Of course, remove the USB cable from both the modem and the AirPort.
If you also have a wireless printer, there will be no problem. However, if your printer is not wireless and needs to be wired, use the USB cable between the printer and the AirPort Express.
Everything should then work great!

  • My solution to the connection problem

    First I will tell the solution and then I will state my thoughts about the source of the problem.
    SOLUTION:
    This is not a standard solution but it worked for me: as many, I bought an 60 GB ipod video for xmas and as many I came home to forget about cd's by passing all my music and videos to this little beautifull machine. I started passing my files when suddenly a song didn't make it and since then it would reject any usb connection with my pc.
    I couldn't even get it restored because the computer stopped responding when I conected the ipod. MY SOLUTION WAS TO FIND A FRIEND WITH AN IMAC WITH USB 2.0 PORTS; RESTORE IT FOR MAC AND THEN RESTORE IT IN A WINDOWS BASED PC.
    The results where amazing, the ipod got recognized but the problem persists, when I transfer 2 GB more or less it hungs and the problem reapears.
    THE PROBLEM
    It seems that the problem apears when a sudden disconection leaves the file system of the ipod in a non-integral state.
    In english: when the USB connection fails it damages the ipod hard drive organization.
    So, when windows attemp to recognize the ipod it finds that the ipod has no format and I/O errors occur.
    In a normal scenario, the unformated part (damaged part) of the file system is a folder inside the ipod and it is posible to read the formatted folders, hence, a restore is posible but takes more time to initialize.
    In the worst case scenario, the unformatted (damaged) part of the file system is the section used to initialize the connection to the ipod as an external storage medium, so the ipod stops connecting even in file trnasfer mode.
    I think that the solution works because of the nature of mac os x and the usb device management system.
    So the main problem is the USB connection.
    My theory behind this has to do with failures in the management of the USB 2.0 ports in windows.
    As you may or may not know, it is not a responsability of the hardware vendors of USB connections to supply the apropiate driver for the end user; the USB driver is responsability of microsoft, and for example the USB 2.0 driver is istaled by the service pack 1 or 2.
    I have an assus atv8x, which claims to have 6 USB 2.0 ports, but the instaled drivers in the device manager displays normal USB ports. Up to date I haven't been able to fully install a USB 2.0 driver because windows "thinks" that change the driver isn't a good idea, I should be able to fit in any driver I want since THEY ARE MY PORTS!!!!!
    But the conclussion is that my board is out of the market and support for it is almost gone, I will never have the apropiate driver.
    CONCLUSSION
    So; I think the problem arises when you have USB 2.0 ports phisically but windows doesn't think so and fit USB 1.1 or 1.0 drivers; that makes the connection fail.
    I love my ipod to much, enough to get a mac mini just for the little manzanita.
    CLOSING COMMENTS
    I am positively not sure if the problem is what I'm stating here and this information should not be intended to atack our beloved MS corporation or the elemental rush of manzanita to deliver ipods and not spending enough time to look after this issues.
    I could and certanlly will be wrong but this information may be of use for everyone.

  • Any body has the same problem with youtube ?

    I'm having issues with the video playback on YouTube... it load OK then as I'm watching it the video part freezes as the audio continue. I have a brand new MacBook Pro 13" with 4 GB ram and Core i5 running at 2.5Ghz so there should be no problem with it...
    My old PC laptop although slow was playing videos almost perfectly with 3GB of ram and Core 2 processor running at 2 Ghz. On both machines I'm accessing YouTube via Safari as I was running it on the PC as well.

    To answer a response that I got yes Flash player is the latest version. I just purchased the laptop few days ago and the first time I went on to the YouTube site it promted to install Flash Player in order to watch any video there on the site...
    I have just installed few extensions to Safari from Apple and one of them is called "
    ClickToFlash "
    And that seems ok now... That might have fix the problem who knows... Will find out won't we.
    I've also installed another called "
    clea.nr Videos for YouTube™ "
    I like the way it displays the videos without all the clutter around on the page. So I keep my fingers crossed for things to go smothly.

  • A possible solution to the MIDI problem with Audition 5.5

    Hi, all.
    In searching for other answers to my Audition 5.5 questions, I've been seeing lots of complaints on these forums about the lack of MIDI compatibility with this version.  If you have an external MIDI sequencer, I offer a solution that you might find useful.
    Go into Audition's Edit > Preferences and change the time display from minutes and seconds to bars and beats
    Specify the time signature to the closest beat value of your song (exampe:  if you're using both 3/4 and 4/4 time signatures, go with 4/4)
    Set the tempo to match your song
    Lay down a full length click track with at least a 4 measure click intro
    Insert the same length click intro into every track (which, when working with previously sequenced tracks, is just a matter starting the machine in sequence-record mode with the metronome on, counting the appriopriate beats and turning it back off just before the song starts)
    Mute all but the track you intend to record
    Record each instrument track to its own file, save and open a multi-track session
    Position the first beat of the click track far enough into the session to preclude needing to trim intros (you can trim the silence out with the click intro after mixdown)
    Zoom in until a single click fits perfectly under the time indicator line
    Drag or snap all the other tracks underneath it so that the first click of each track lines up
    I use lots of instruments with slow attack (such as strings), or tracks where the instrument might only be in a few measures, so the 4+ measures of click intro are particularly useful.
    Pretty low-tech, but quick and painless nonetheless.  It suits my purposes, though I'd love to know if someone has a better method.  Thanks for reading.

    The other problem is that, even among the "music creation" market, there can be big differences in the perceived importance of MIDI. 
    I'm not a musician myself but have worked closely with two very different composers.  One of them does practically everything in MIDI (using Sonar) then tends to hand me the files to work with in Audition (after conversion to wave format).  Some tracks are left in the form they came but others are replaced with live "real" instruments.
    The other person is much more traditional.  He plays more instruments than I can count and I help him by recording as he lays down drums, guitars, bass, brass, etc. etc.  He owns a lot of keyboards but, even with these, he sends me line out and uses the actual keyboard sounds rather than laying down MIDI data. 
    So, if you asked these two how important it would be to have MIDI functionality, you'd get two very different answers.  From some of the recording forums I frequent, I get the impression that my friends are a microcosm of the whole market .  Some use MIDI a lot while others prefer the feel and sound of recording live instruments.  (And, I'm sure, others inhabit a middle ground.)
    True dat.  Up until about a year or so ago, I didn't use MIDI, and so Audition was for me music production software par excellence.  Then about a year ago, I started getting into MIDI, and now I'm not only using MIDI for creating keyboard-based tracks for overdubs, I'm actually writing songs using MIDI (whereas before songwriting almost always involved a guitar).  MIDI has become huge for me, in other words.  And whether I go to sites like Studio Central and read Tweakhead's guide to homerecording in which he tells people that modern music-making either involves MIDI or is MIDI-based, or whether I read articles in Sound on Sound magazine which constantly reference MIDI in their articles, have regular features about sample librairies that use MIDI, or look at the countless ads touting MIDI keyboards and controllers, it's clear that MIDI is as much a part of modern recording as guitars and mics.  Before, I never used to get what Steve was on about when he'd say that Audition isn't music production software, because I had produced five albums of stuff using either CEP or Audition.  Now, I understand what he means when he says that.  When he says Audition isn't a music production software, he means 'Audition doesn't have MIDI'.  However, the truth of the matter is that Audition is a wonderful music production software if you don't use MIDI, and a partial music production software if you do.   You know, I've tried out other softwares - Reaper, Studio One, FL Studio (ha!) - and none of them come close to Audition for me.  Sure, I can get by using Reaper for MIDI, but knowing how Audition does things, I know that I'd be happier doing it inside Audition.  Hence, the continued lobbying.  I want the best.

  • Has anyone found a solution to the login problem with Lion?

    I upgrade my 27" iMac Quad-core last week to Lion and everything was fine. I shutdown after a software upgrade and now I can't log in. Of course, Apple support is closed. I tried a number of the solutions on this site to no avail. Has anyone found a solution? *** has apple done to my system?

    Don't know if my problem is same as yours..after Lion install, frozen cursor in password field when logging in after starting up, beach ball. Couple of trips to Apple store, a number of phone calls to troubleshoot with Applecare. The last fellow who helped me found a workaround, just can't log in. He said engineers have reports of others with this problem so it's not just my machine but fix would probably come in software update. Been dealing with this since first week of Lion download. Hopefully they'll fix it eventually. I can use macbook now, but don't like not being able to have a screen login via password. No plans to ever again download a new op system on a mac...had no trouble installing win7 on older dell from vista.

  • Has anyone found any solution for the noise problem for an iMac 21.5"?

    I have recently bought a new iMac 21.5" 1TB.  There is constant noise which sounds like it comes from the disk drive.   It is very loud and annoying and you can hear it 10 ft away even.  I took it to the Apple store and of course it is too noisy in the store for them to hear it.  I left it at the store for them to check and you guess it, they did not notice any disk drive problem and return back to me.   I am not an advanced users and I tell you I am not complaining out of the blue and it is not my imagination.  After digging through the community, I seem to find a number of threads indicating that there is noise issue on the iMac.  
    Now I am worried that I have returned my iMac.  If this is not a defect, I am thoroughly disappointed in Apple for designing such a crappy product.  How can they let a product like that out?  
    Before I give up, does anyone out there have any advice?  Is my only option now return the unit?

    Millions have not had a problem so perhaps yours is due to a bad install. What troubleshooting steps have you done? Restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new are steps you can take to try and resolve the problem.

  • I have a MacBook Pro 2008 with 17 inch screen. Experiencing a lock up when turning on power to boot up. While booting up it goes to gray screen with Apple logo and disc spinning icon running and doesn't go to my desktop. Any solutions to the problem?

    I have an early 2009 17 inch MacBook Pro that just went on the fritz. When turning on the power it will go into boot up mode to the gray screen with the apple logo, then the disc icon will be running and will continue running, not allowing to proceed to my desk top screen. It's pretty much locked up at this point where I have to do a forced shut down by holding down the power button. I've tried everything that I know of such as taking battery out and pressing power button for 5 seconds and then reinstalling battery. I've cleaned inside of computer with compressed air duster in can as well as other key commands for resets. I've read that this is a common problem with the earlier MacBook Pros. Is this a problem that I can fix or does it have to be taken in for service? Any solutions to the problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    This could be a software/state problem or a hardware problem.  Here are steps to resolve the former.

  • Any wifi connection problems with new Macbook Pro 13" models?

    I currently use a 15" Macbook Pro (about 3.5 years old) that has intermittent WiFi connection issues (intermittently loses signal). This seems to have been a very common problem with this laptop model. My kids, who use Macbooks, have no connection problems. In any case, I'd love to buy one of the new model 13-inch Macbook Pro's but hesitate because of my many issues with WiFi connectivity on my older Macbook Pro. Just wondering if anyone is experiencing connectivity problems with the new model?

    I've never had Wifi connection problems with a Macbook and now with the 13" MacBook Pro I was flabergasted when I took my MacBook down the street to a coffee house with free WiFi. I went to connect to their WiFi and found my own WiFi connection listed. I thought this odd even though I was on the same block as my apartment, my apartment is six stories up. I connected to the Coffee Shop WiFi but it was really slow so I wondered if I could connect to my own home connection. I switched it over and lo-and behold I did connect! It was a good 300 feet away! I NEVER saw this with previously owned MacBooks including the black MacBook and the MacBook offered just before they moved the MacBook up to the Pro series.
    So I'd say they have improved the WiFi nicely.

  • Any solution to the X battery problem?

    Hi all,
    I´m one more of the affected for the X battery problem after the firmware upgrade. Is there any solution to the problem rather than sending the macbook to apple?
    Thanks in advance, Simon.

    it's definitely NOT the firmware update, as evidenced by the fact that i haven't installed either of the two recent firmware updates yet.
    see the discussion in the macbook PRO threads.
    they're sending me a new battery for free, and they'll do the same for you.
    this is happenning to so many mb's and mbp's that it's becoming an expensive issue for apple :o(.
