Apple Extreme will not dial ISP

I use a G5 and Powerbook on a home network with AirPort Extreme. All worked fine last night, this morning when I tried to connect, the AirPort extreme tries to contact the ISP, but does not dial the phone. (yes, I am in a location that forces me to still use slow dial up).
If I disconnect, like now, and use the computers internal modem, all is fine so the problem must be with the Airport.
Any positive help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

In the menu bar the message was "connecting to your ISP". It ran this message even though it never dialed the phone.
This PM I disconnected everything including the powerpack to the Airport. Waited and then restarted. All is well as I am now using it to respond.
Thanks for your interest.

Does any know if Apple extreme will support DHCP IPV6

does any know if Apple extreme will support DHCP IPV6

Yes, it does. I'm using it on my system. However, it will not work unless your ISP also supports it. If they do, then with Lion it should configure automatically.

I was wondering if i plug a hard drive into my apple extreme will i be able to play avi file from it via an apple tv?

I am in the market for a TV media player. I have a lot of videos and photos on an external HDD and i would love to be able to play them on my big new TV. I have been thinking about buying a "Buffalo home theatre" or a "WD TV Live". BUT..... I would like to stick to my Apple products and so was wondering if ...
a) You can plug a HDD into an Apple Airport Extreme. I currently have an Airport Express but want to upgrade.
b) If i plug a HDD into an Apple Airport Extreme, would I then be able to Access the avi and mkv files from my HDD and play them through Apple TV.
Does that make sense?
I wish the apple TV had a usb port, that would solve my problem.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you can plug a drive into an extreme, but the Apple TV will not play AVI (with noted exception) or mkv files.
H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

I lost my internet for four days and now my extreme will not do anything

After losing my internet connection for four days when it returned my airport extreme will not do anything. I tried resets and still nothing?

I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
(OPTIONAL) While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
Power-up the base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, computers connected to the base station, either by wire or wireless (as appropriate for the base station type), should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options.

Extreme will not extend linksys router

I am trying to extend a wifi network from my linksys router but the extreme will not do this help please

Sorry, I can't answer for Apple's design and product decisions, but a guess would be that Apple wants to sell you more Apple products.
But, to be fair, if you reversed roles and wanted the Linksys to extend the AirPort Extreme, it would be extremely unlikely that the Linkys would be able to do it. I imagine Linksys wants to sell more stuff as well.

My new AirPort Extreme will not turn on anymore, no lights when plugged in.

My new AirPort Extreme will not turn on anymore, no lights when plugged in. I just bought it a few days ago. It has been working fine. I left the house for most the day and when returning home it would turn back on. I have tried to plug it into other outlets...nothing, I've tried the reset button...Nothing.

That is reported here a few times.. just take it straight back to apple or place of purchase for immediate exchange.

My apple TV will not show my iPhotos travel photos in sequence. I set up a sequence of photos that STAY in sequence when viewing in iPhoto on my iMac, but they do not show in sequence when my Apple TV shows them on my TV screen. My Apple TV is MC 572C/A

My Apple TV will not show my photos in iPhoto on my iMac in the same sequence of images that I can see when viewing the iPhoto photos on my iMac. This is especially frustrating when I try to show my travel pictures in sequence on my TV. I have to resort to showing them on my iMac which defeats the principle purpose for purchasing my MacTV. Does anyone have a solution?
My Apple TV is Model MC 572C/A and the software is 5.2.1 (6025)
My iMac is Mac OSX version 10.7.5
THANKS!
Doug May

I can't recall whether slideshows are ordered by title or date, but you can manually re-arrange the albums in iPhoto, then batch change them once you have the order you want.

New Apple Tv will not connect with iPad Air 2

My new Apple TV will not recognize my iPad Air or Air 2, but will recognize all other devices in the house (iPhone 5c, 5s, 6, iPad mini, MacBook, etc). What am I missing that the new Airs will not connect? All software is up to date. they are on same network.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.

My airport extreme will not connect to the Internet

My airport extreme will not connect to my toshiba router. I connected it to my office internet this morning but when I hooked it up at home it simply will not connect. I have tried resetting all the settings and have had no luck. It did work once upon a time. I currently have my airport express hooked up so I know there is connectivity.

I could never figure it out after trying everything I could and going to the genius bar I ended up just purchasing another extreme. The really funny thing is that I can set up a network between the two and it works fine. I am using it at work now with out any problems so I guess there is really no loss :-?

So, my ipod touch is running 5.1.1 and is slow and sometimes unresponsive. According to Apple it will not update to iOS 6. It is a 32GB, 3rd Generation. I want the new features but it's making me mad. I do not want to jailbreak. HELP?!

So, my IPod touch is running 5.1.1 and is slow and sometimes unresponsive. According to Apple it will not update to iOS 6. It is a 32GB, 3rd Generation. I want the new features but it's making me mad. I do not want to jailbreak. As this would void my device from Apple. I love the features iOS 6 has to offer but I don't want to put out anymore money. IPods are expensive enough, Should I use blobs? Or would that make my device worse. Plus I do not want to pay $20.00 for a chat and have to wait all day to someone who I can't understand on the telephone. someone help me please.

For the slowness:
Try:
- 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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

My apple Tv will not airplay, this is the 3rd one i have exchanged and my devices airplay just fine elsewhere, could there be a problem with the wifi even though all of the other functions are working fine?

The way I did it was I got the free app sync:stream from the App Store and then added my ipod to my ps3's Bluetooth devices. Then went to audio settings and set output and input to 'Skaggs iPod' you then open the app and it will be listed under music as a media service. You then go to all tracks and click copy (press triangle) it will then begin to copy all of your songs onto your ps3 via Bluetooth. I haven't tried but I assume the same can be done with photos. I hope this was helpful reply if you have any questions :) good luck

hi Samberl
thanks a lot for the fast reply.
I was dragging folders from main folders on the laptop-desktop onto the external drive icon - to copy them across....
Your suggestion sounds very promising - I didn't know about 'cloning'.
Yes the idea is to backup the laptop -    I thought I would just move it all now, new - and then keep saving/dragging physically   across to the new drive myself each day or two...
Would this be the sizeof the internal hard drive = c.500 gb ?   =   under the HD icon on desktop is written :
" 499.76gb , 311.5 gb free "
I can erase and start agin on the new external drive - so this plan is to make two partititions, rather than the one at present, and make one of them 500 gb ?
I have found CCC [carbon copy cloner] googling - looks good.
When CCC site says it backs up the hard drive - would this mean all my files [over 100 gb] that are mostly in folders on the desktop, plus the others in itunes, iphotos etc found in the HD icon, would all copy across successfully [wherever they are in the computer ] ?
thanks again, hope you can clarify these things and then I will go for it.
It would be great and amazing if this 'lack of permission' message doesn't show up in the process of doing this ccc transfer - hopeful!

Ports 1,2,3 will not dial out port 0 fine

Dear community,
I could use a little direction..
I have a 2821 "COMHS00ARB" SN: FTX1302A1UP
It has a VIC2-4FXO on port zero I have an analog phone line that functions perfectly, on ports 1,2,3 I get dial tone and they will receive calls but will not dial out.
other interesting observations:
1: If I connect a laptop to GE 0/1 I get not LAN Lights port GE 0/0 is fine and is the uplink
2: the Gig E port on the NME port I can not get LAN lights if I plug cable in from laptop
3: Aux on front of chassis same no lights on LAN
My first thought is to replace the VIC2-4FXO card to see if its faulty
My second thought is that maybe the 2821 has taken a hit from lightening.. however all internal phones seam to be fully functional, although when I select the line on the corresponding LCD hard button I do not get the hard button to light, even on the working line?
Any directions would be greatly appreciated,
Also if I replace card do I need to worry about firmware versions?

Hello,
It seems that the number you are trying to dial is not correct or the dialplan does not recognize it.
HTH,
Alex

Apple Applications Will Not Print

After installing new Epson 2.1 print driver in Snow Leopard all Apple Applications will not print now. (Text Edit, iPhoto, Safari …ect.) Yet all other Applications will print Adobe, Microsoft ect. ) Try downgrading print driver, but that did not work to solve problem. How can I solve this problem?

The printer drivers that shipped with the original SL are on the install disk and should be extractable with Pacifist. Additionally, if you're familiar with the Terminal.app, pop in the install disk, enter this in the Terminal window, and hit the return key:
*open /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ DVD/System/Installation/Packages/*
That opens the folder holding the install packages. Drag the Epson ones out to the Desktop and manually install them.
If that doesn't fix things, then call Epson, since they put together the update package described in http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/firmware_hardware/epsonprinterdriver sformacosxv1061.html
Just saw your latest post. If the above doesn't fix things, then file a bug report with Apple via its Bug Reporter system. To do ths, join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure over submitting feedback is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.
