APE only works when connected via ethernet

I have a new AirPort Extreme that I am trying to add to my existing network (an older APE base station and 2 Express) and no matter how I try to configure it, I can't get it to work without being connected with an ethernet cable (either to my MacBook Pro or to the other APE base station).
I also tried setting it up on its own with a new network and that wouldn't work either.
If it isn't plugged in, and I try to change the configuration, i get this error:
"AIRPORT UTILITY WAS UNABLE TO FIND YOUR BASE STATION AFTER RESTARTING.
The settings for this base station have been successfully updated, but there was a problem re-joining the wireless network or finding the base station. You may need to select your network from the AirPort menu and try again."
The amber light flashes, and it never shows up again. It doesn't matter if i unplug the APE, turn AirPort off and on, restart the utility, restart my mac... it won't ever show up unless I connect via ethernet, but as soon as i connect the ethernet cable, everything works fine.
Does this mean that there is something wrong with the APE, or is there something I'm doing wrong with my setup (I've tried the assisted setup and manual setup following the instructions in the "Designing Air Port Extreme 802.11n Networks" pdf)?

Yes. It's just the one APE that is a problem. The rest of the network is fine.
If I connect the new APE to the older APE with an ethernet cable, I can see it in AirPort utility and use AirPort Disks connected to it, too; but as soon as I unplug the ethernet cable, it can't get back on to the network and it no longer shows up in AirPort utility.

Apple TV (1G) doesn't appear in devices list when connected via ethernet

After upgrading to OS X Lion and iTunes 10.4 my Apple TV (1G) doesn't appear in the devices list when connected via ethernet. When I switch to wireless lan the device is shown and the sync process starts but can't copy the new films. The copy operation stops every time and sometines the device disappears from the list.
Despite of the upgrading of OS X and iTunes all the settings are unchanged.
Anyone an idea?

Since my last update, I've gathered more information. I'm almost certain this is not entirely a 10.7.1 issue, if an issue in 10.7.1 at all. 10.7.1 may have changed something that caused this issue to appear,but where I was having this problem weekly if not daily, I no longer have the problem. I changed routers. I was using a new D-Link Xtreme N Gigabit RouterDIR-655. This router was causing me pain with lock ups. I replaced it with a Cisco Linksys E4200. I have not had a lockup in over 2 months now and not one sync issue with Apple TV nor my new iPhones, which sync wireless to iTunes on my Mac Pro.
Thinking about how my network is wired leads me to believe the issue was in the router, or maybe a network communication change in 10.7.1 that the DIR-655 was not supporting correctly. My MacPro and a few other hardwired access points in my house go directly to the router. My AppleTV and Airport Extreme are connected to a Gigabit switch and the Gigabit switch is then connected to the router. I also turn off the wireless capabilities in my routers, as I prefer to let my Airport Extreme handle those duties. This all means my normal hardwired communication path from my Mac Pro to Apple TV was going through the router, to the switch, to the Airport Extreme and then to my AppleTV. My Apple TV is connected to the LAN port on the Airport extreme. By going wireless on the MacPro, I was bypassing the router altogether.
As I started out saying, since I replaced my router, my sync issues have also gone away. If your having Apple TV sync issues, you might want to look at the router as well. Also, while I can’t remember the exact settings, I had opened up or enabled UPnP and other router settings in the DIR-655 to see if that would resolve the sync issues and it did not. In the end, I just spent the money and bought a new router and life is good now.

Does Siri only work when connected to WiFi

Does Siri only work when you are connected to a Wifi? Mine does not seem to work through the 4G cell network.

It works over WiFi or cellular.
If you are using 4G cell network, are you using something like a Verizon MiFi 4510L to create a hotspot that your iPhone 4S is using?
There are other issues with Siri that are going on - perhaps that is what you are seeing?

DBMS_SCHEDULER.run_chain() only works when connected to DB as sys

Database Version: 10.2.0.4.0
Hello,
I have a problem with DBMS_SCHEDULER.run_chain where the Chain to be run references an external Program.
The Chain runs correctly when run via SQLPLUS when you are connected to the database as SYS but fails to run when you are connected to the Database as the User who owns the Chain.
The complete steps to recreate the problem are below. Any thoughts or suggestions gratefully received.
Thanks,
Andy
STEP 1: Login with sys as sysdba and create a new user
CREATE USER chaintest IDENTIFIED BY password PROFILE DEFAULT ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
GRANT MGMT_USER TO chaintest;
GRANT CONNECT TO chaintest;
GRANT IMP_FULL_DATABASE TO chaintest;
GRANT SCHEDULER_ADMIN TO chaintest;
GRANT MANAGE SCHEDULER TO chaintest;
GRANT EXECUTE ANY CLASS TO chaintest;
GRANT CREATE ANY DIRECTORY TO chaintest;
GRANT CREATE ANY JOB TO chaintest;
GRANT CREATE TABLE TO chaintest;
GRANT EXECUTE ANY PROGRAM TO chaintest;
GRANT CREATE JOB TO chaintest;
GRANT CREATE EXTERNAL JOB TO chaintest;
STEP 2: Create a very simple batch file
Create a folder called c:\chaintest and create a text file in there whose entire contents
is "notepad.exe" followed by a carriage return. The idea is that if this batch file is
called a notepad Window will be opened so we can clearly see if the batch file has run.
STEP 3: Create a DBMS_SCHEDULER Program
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_PROGRAM (
program_name => 'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_PROGRAM',
program_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
program_action => 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CMD.EXE /q /c c:\chaintest\chaintest.bat',
number_of_arguments => 3,
enabled => false);
DBMS_SCHEDULER.define_program_argument(
program_name =>'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_PROGRAM',
argument_position => 1,
argument_type => 'VARCHAR2',
default_value => '/q');
DBMS_SCHEDULER.define_program_argument(
program_name =>'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_PROGRAM',
argument_position => 2,
argument_type => 'VARCHAR2',
default_value => '/c');
DBMS_SCHEDULER.define_program_argument(
program_name =>'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_PROGRAM',
argument_position => 3,
argument_type => 'VARCHAR2',
default_value => 'c:\chaintest\chaintest.bat');
DBMS_SCHEDULER.enable('CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_PROGRAM');
END;
STEP 4: Create a chain
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_CHAIN (chain_name => 'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_CHAIN');
END;
STEP 5: Create the only Chain Step
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.DEFINE_CHAIN_STEP(chain_name=>'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_CHAIN'
, step_name=>'STEPA'
, program_name=>'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_PROGRAM');
END;
STEP 6: Create Chain Rules
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.DEFINE_CHAIN_RULE(
chain_name=>'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_CHAIN'
, condition=>'TRUE'
, action=>'START STEPA');
DBMS_SCHEDULER.DEFINE_CHAIN_RULE(
chain_name=>'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_CHAIN'
, condition=>'STEPA COMPLETED'
, action=>'END');
END;
STEP 7: Enable the Chain
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.enable('CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_CHAIN');
END;
STEP 8: Run the Chain whilst still connected as sys and observe that a Notepad window opens
confirming that the Batch file ran successfully.
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.run_chain(
chain_name=>'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_CHAIN'
, start_steps=>NULL);
END;
STEP 9: Connect to the database as the CHAINTEST user and run the same command as in STEP 8 above.
Observe that even though you receive the message "PL/SQL procedure successfully completed." and do
not see any error messages that no Notepad Window is opened indicating that the Batch file was NOT run.
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.run_chain(
chain_name=>'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_CHAIN'
, start_steps=>NULL);
END;

>
The Chain runs correctly when run via SQLPLUS when you are connected to the database as SYS but fails to run when you are connected to the Database as the User who owns the Chain.
>
Not true based on what you posted. The chain DOES RUN connected as SYS and when connected as the User who owns the chain.
You posted steps that show that SYS is the user that owns the program and thus the chain.
>
STEP 1: Login with sys as sysdba and create a new user
STEP 8: Run the Chain whilst still connected as sys and observe that a Notepad window opens
confirming that the Batch file ran successfully.
>
I don't see where you made any EXECUTE grant to user 'chaintest' that would allow that user to execute the program.
See the Usage Notes in the CREATE PROGRAM section of DBMS_SCHEDULER in the Database PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28419/d_sched.htm#CIHEHDHA
>
For other users to use your programs, they must have EXECUTE privileges, therefore once a program has been created, you have to grant EXECUTE privileges on it.
>
Grant the EXECUTE privilege to user 'chaintest' and try it.

WRT54G v2 with Strict NAT when connected via ethernet to Xbox 360

Hello, I apologize if this is in the wrong board as the router, although it is a wireless model, is connected to the Xbox 360 via ethernet cable, so I was a bit torn on where to place it. Router Model, Firmware version: WRT54G v2, v4.21.1 The problem and details are as follows: The Xbox 360 is running on the default settings. Literally, I plugged it into the router via ethernet and it automatically grabbed an IP (192.168.1.101) and the right information to connect to Xbox Live. The router is still running the default range of 50 IPs, so 100 to 149; the 360 was just the second thing to connect. Another computer is connected to the router via ethernet and a laptop is connected wirelessly, if this might affect the case at all. When using the Network Test feature of the Xbox 360, everything is operating perfectly except the NAT is giving me a Strict reading. Some of my games require an Open NAT for me to be able to access some features such as hosting a co-op match. Simply put, what do I need to do inside the router's settings that would give me an Open NAT on the Xbox 360?

well try reducing the MTU values to 1365 on the router, also try triggering 88, 3074 ports on the router...

Time caspule only works when connected through my dLink router first

I have a dlink router that was always my network router in my home. I hooked up a time capusle from the lan output of the dlink into the internet input port on the time capsule and it works fine. The time capsule and dlink are both wifi hostpots. When I connect my time capsule from my modem direct without the dlink the LED will not turn green. WHy is this and how do I remedy this.
Thanks
Colin

The easiest way is to "hard reset" the Time Capsule and reconfigure it using AirPort Utility.
Make sure it is connected to the modem first. Remember to power down the modem before changing its connections.
To "hard reset" the TC: make sure it's powered up, then press and hold its tiny reset button and keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.
This will not affect your backups. You might need to re-select the TC's backup disk in Time Machine's Preferences, but your existing backups will not be lost.

MY IPOD ONLY WORKS WHEN CONNECTED TO DOCK

I DON'T KNOW WHY IT WORKS PERFECTLY FINE ON THE DOCK BUT OFF OF IT OTHERWISE DEAD I'VE TRIED THE 5 R'S CONNECTING IT TO MY COMP IS USELESS THE SCREEN STAYS BLACK ANY SUGGESTIONS?

PLEASE IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY WHY WONT IT RESET THE SCREEN JUST DISOLVES AWAY WHEN I TAKE IT OFF THE DOCL

IPod only works when connected to computer?

When I plug in the iPod Nano to charge, then "eject the disk", I am able to use the Nano. The screen works and shows that it is fully charged. When I removed the USB cord from the Nano, the screen gets dim then after 2 or 3 seconds, fades to black and does not work. How do I fix this? I tried holding the 'select' key with the Menu key to do a restart and nothing happened at all. I have looked on these forums and read variations of this question, but no one has ever answered it!
If the battery is dead and needs to be replaced, I will be VERY upset because this iPod has only been used twice ever.
ALSO if the battery is dead, can I take it back to the store and will they replace it for FREE? I got this as a gift (in the package and everything) so I know that it has not been used before but obviously I do not have a receipt or anything like that. And I do not even know where an Apple store is in my area since they only seem to be in wealthy places.

If this is a 2nd Generation Nano, and it has only been charged twice, I can guarantee that the battery is bad. Lithium ion batteries need "exercise" and should have at least 1 charge cycle monthly. You can be upset all you want but the lack of use is what did in the battery.
You can send it to Apple and pay them to put in a new battery or try a 3rd party site, such as http://www.ipodjuice.com

Launching Oracle E-Business Suite forms only working when connecting on personal network using VPN

Hi
I am trying to open forms on client instance. Unable to open forms when on company's proxy network.
But When I am connecting my personal network then I am able to open the forms.
Please help

Hi,
If you can login to the EBS and cant launch forms, then I probably think it is due to bandwith issue.
Please let us know whether the form does not respond or is it that you get any error message. If you receive get any error message, provide them here.

My ipod nano only works when connected to charger

i have a 5th gen nano and when i disconnect it from charger it won't stay on. I tried the 5 steps on trouble shooting and reset also still won't come on without charger connected

Make sure the HOLD switch is in the off position. See Chapter 1, page 8, Disabling iPod nano Controls - iPod Nano 5th Gen. User Manual (direct PDF download)
Also try restoring your iPod. Directions for doing so is also in the manual.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
I suspect a problem with your router. Try changing the security. First use no security as a test.
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Apple Tv (3rd generation) says it is connected (via ethernet), but none of the app, or channels, will work. They all say they are unvailable, try again later. The only thing that seems to work is iTunes. (I live in a dorm if that helps)

Its not properly connected to the network. Most school networks require login via webpage, which isn't possible as ATV has no browser. You will need to contact the IT dept or the network provider.

The iTune Remote App has stopped finding my iTunes library when connected to wifi from my main router, but works fine when connected via second wifi router on the same network (different SSID)

I'm running iTunes Remote App from a couple of iPhone 5's and a first generation iPod Touch. iTunes is running on a PC - Windows 7. My home network runs two Wifi Routers, each with a different SSID. I've had no problems with the Remote app running this set up for the last 8 months but recently the App can only find my iTunes library when the iPhone/iPod is connected via one specific router, when connected to the network via the other router, no iTunes library is found. I'm also running an Apple TV and it's the same as the iTunes Library, only visible via the one SSID.
Everything else seems to work fine when connected via either router, eg Internet on the iPhones (definitely via wifi)
I've tried renewing the lease on the iPhone wifi connection, restarting everything.....several times.....
It used to work fine, this only seems to have been a problem in recent weeks
Any help or advice would be much appreciated
Thanks
Ian

It turned out to be the firewall settings on our router. Her machine was sending traffic that our router interpreted as a DoS attack and blacklisted her Airport's MAC address. That's why it would work fine if she switched to Ethernet.

Time Capsule not work with appletalk printers connected via ethernet?

I have seen no definitive answers to this problem posted here or on support forum. Some have suggested (but Apple refuses to confirm) that Time Capsule does not support AppleTalk devices (particularly printers) connected via Ethernet to Time Capsule. Even the "Genius Bar" guys can't tell you for sure, but this is what they suspect also.
I am a 25 year Macintosh user. I have conducted numerous experiments on this problem. What follows is my analysis and work around.
I have found no way to connect AppleTalk printers to Time Capsule by an Ethernet network connected to the back of the Time Capsule. It just doesn't work. Forget all the posts about what to try. Especially forget about resetting your printer settings. Waste of time. This leads me to conclude that those who suspect that Time Capsule does not support AppleTalk printers connected on an Ethernet network are absolutely correct. It is a hardware or software deficiency. I do not know why Apple won't just publish this in their technical specs. It would save us users a lot of time and frustration.
Now the work around. The only thing that I have found that will work is to set up an Airport Extreme to extend the wireless network created with the Time Capsule. Plug your ethernet network into the Airport Extreme, NOT into the Time Capsule. I presume (but have not tested) that this works with an Airport Express as well. I did this with my old Airport Extreme that I had left over after buying my new Time Capsule. Now the printers show up again and print fine.
Please let me know what your results are if you try this.

The problem is caused by an interaction between the Airport Extreme Update 2008-004 and the TC 7.3 firmware. I swapped out my TC for my AirPort Extreme (which sat on a shelf unused since I bought the TC). It has version 6.xx of the firmware. Immediately I could see my printer when I wirelessly connect with my MBPro and can print from it. I put the TC back and then did an Archive and Install of 7.5 on my MBPro. I did every software update except the Airport Extreme Update 2008-004. I could see my printer and print to it! After cloning my HD, I then applied the 2008-004 update to 7.5.5. That broke the wireless printing again! I tried TC firmware 7.3, 7.3.1, and 7.3.2 but not go. It is clear that my computer is trying to communicate with the printer (lots of flashing lights on my LAN switch) but no successful handshaking. I restored my hard drive from the clone and I now I can print again. Final word: if you want to print from a wireless computer connection to an AppleTalk printer connected to TC's LAN do not apply the 2008-004 update to your computer. Apple: please fix this problem.
