Apple TV Wireless Wreaks Havoc on AP Extreme

In the year or so I've had my Apple TV, I've never been able to get this stable with my Airport Extreme on 802.11n. The Apple TV is right below the router which is on the second floor. My MacBook works just fine on the n network as well as every other device. As soon as I unplug the Apple TV from the ethernet port and allow it to stream wirelessly the problems start. Just Friday I was trying to watch a rental on the ATV and the network just kept "going away". This was also happening with another handheld device until I plugged the ATV back into the ethernet.
Both the ATV and AP Extreme are running the latest updates. IMO, it's INSANE that these two devices seem incompatible. Is there some kind of firmware update for the ATV that I am missing?

tv's tend to go where other devices wouldn't - under a tv, next to a satellite box etc, etc, and can therefore be prone to interference where other devices are not. This interference may well upset other devices on the network when the tv is running.
Have you tried changing your network channel.

Can i use another router to extend my wireless network of my airport extreme?

i have a billion router (moddel BiPAC 7300W) I just got myself the airport extreme, i want to use the extreme as the main router and extend the network using the billion router.
steps i have followed on the extreme is as follows:
INTERNET
connection sharing: Distrobute a range of IP addresses
cofig IPv4:set to my home network range(manually) - ip,subnet,router,dns
DHCP
access control: mac address of billion router set to all day every day
steps i have followed on the billion router:
disabled NAT
disabled DHCP
ethernet address: same range as extreme ip, actual ip op extreme is xxx.xxx.xxx.254, on billion xxx.xxx.xxx.253
disabled RIP
set wireless mode to 802.11b+g+n
channel id: auto
channel width:20/40mhz
disable wps
disable vmm
Wireless Distribution System (WDS) - added the 3 mac addresses the utility displayed, 5ghz and 2.4ghz and also the ethernet.
restarted both routers, not picking up all the devices connected to the network.
can any one please help me?

i want to use the extreme as the main router and extend the network using the billion router.
Unfortunately, WDS was never adopted as an official standard in the industry, so very few routers from other manufacturers are known to be compatible with Apple's WDS settings. The known devices are as follows:
Belkin F5D7230-4 and F5D7231
BT Voyager 2091 or 2100
Buffalo WGR-G54
Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS (through version v4)
Netgear WGR614 v6
Thompson 585v6 wireless router (40 bit WEP works but stronger encryption does not)
connection sharing: Distrobute a range of IP addresses
You would not use this setting unless your service provider has furnished you with a specific range of IP addresses to use for your devices. Is that the case?
Normally, when the AirPort Extreme is functioning as the "main" router, the setting for Connection Sharing is set to "Share a public IP address"
Wireless Distribution System (WDS) - added the 3 mac addresses the utility displayed, 5ghz and 2.4ghz and also the ethernet.
You indicated that you had configured things this way on the Billion router. But, you did not indicate whether you had set the Wireless Mode for the AirPort Extreme to "Participate in a WDS Arrangement".
If you have not already done so, this might improve your chances of establishing a connection between the AirPort Extreme and Billion router for the WDS.
To access these settings on the AirPort Extreme, you would need to open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup. Then click the Wireless tab just below the row of icons. Change the setting for Wireless Mode to "Participate in a WDS Arrangement".
Note....you may need to hold down the option key on your Mac, (or it might be alt or control if you are using a PC) to display the WDS setting.
Once you do this, then a WDS tab will now appear next to the Wireless tab. Click on the WDS tab to set up the AirPort Extreme as the WDS Main and enter the MAC address of the Billion router.
As I mentioned previously, it is extremely unlikely that the Apple and Billion devices will be compatible for WDS, but probably worth a try....since you never know when something just might work.
Even if it does....WDS operates only at "g" wireless speeds, so you will lose any of the faster "n" speed capabilities of the AirPort Extreme in this type of setting.
Please post on your results.

Changing MIDI Port Order is wreaking havoc on my Environment

Anyone seen this before?
I've got a MOTU Midi Express with 4 ins and outs - it's my main interface.
I've also got a Novation Remote25SL which works as a control surface/controller with 3 out ports. It requires some special Environment cabling to work properly with Logic.
Everything was working fine until lately all my projects stopped responding to MIDI from my master keyboard...
I eventually discovered it was because Logic had some how changed the order of MIDI ports. It used to be "Midi Express 1.... 4" followed by "Remote25SL 1...3".
Now if I look at the "outputs & Ports" page in the Environment, it's reversed. "Remote25SL 1...3" followed by "Midi Express 1....4".
So what? Well, the dumb cables in the environment don't move when the ports do. So the cables that used to be connected to the Remote25SL are now connected to the Motu Midi Express, which wreaks havoc on my project.
Any ideas a) what causes this, and b) how to re-order the ports so it goes back the way it was before?
I've tried messing around in the AudioMidi setup tool but don't see any thing here that will help.
It points up, I think, a flaw in Logic's "logic". Environment cables should be tied to physical/logical ports, not just handed out on a 'first come, first serve' to whoever shows up on the midi bus first. The system apparently can "see" the difference between the Motu and the Novation. So why can't Logic?
Grrr. Time to start reading the Nuendo brochures again.

I HAVE A SOLUTION
and it works fine for me after a series of trial and error experiments.
Quit Logic (for now) and do the following.
1) Download the app MidiPipe from this site:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/audio/midipipe.html
2) Plug in all of your MIDI controllers (I mean, all of them)
3) Start making one 'pipe' at a time. Think of them as 'rules' for MIDI flow.
I wish I could post screen shots here... I can show you that I have 6 'pipes' happening.
Why: I have these controllers (according to Logic) happening:
Korg nanoKEYS, nanoPAD, nanoKONTROL; Alesis Photon X25; midiman (now M-Audio) midisport 2x2; Tascam US-144 (the MIDI portion)
4) In these pipes, ONE AT A TIME, these pipes are very simple:
-drag a •Midi In for each controller,
-click the 'hijack' button.
-drag a •Midi Out next,
-create a new virtual Midi Out Port and name it. In my case I went numerically (e.g. 1 nanoPAD, 2 nanoKEYS...) just so I can see the port name is different than the input. Do what works for you here
5) Create a new pipe, redo step 4 until you've created a new pipe for every controller you have.
Save this Midipipe file, and open it prior to any Logic session, before you open Logic.
6) Open Logic. In the global preferences, go to Controller Assignments (Command-K)
and you'll have to define any custom controller data (this may not be necessary for you). But I had to change the controller listening port for all nanoKONTROL assignments. You may not have to do anything here at all.
7) In the case of the folks trying to use two (or more) controllers, as in three keyboards at a time you still have to change one setting: and unfortunately this is not global for Logic, you'll have to change it every single project:
-Under File>Project Settings>Recording, you need to check the box that says
"Auto Demix by channel if multitrack recording"
-For each virtual instrument, you need to set the Midi Channel it responds to. Generally on the left above your channel strip, named Inst 1 (2, 3, 4, ...) depending on which track you're on, click the drop-triangle and you'll see: MIDI Channel: ALL --- change it to whatever you assigned your controller to
-After you've assigned those MIDI Channe;s per track; now arm each track you wish to record onto (or play, trigger, etc) ---arm meaning 'click the R so it's red'
You should be good to go!
To boil it down to simply: download MidiPipe, figure it out, define controller data if necessary, check Demix by Channel in Project Settings, Set each track's Midi Channel, Arm each track, record two (or more) parts at once.
You'll spend 30 minutes or more figuring out MidiPipe for your setup (less if you're brilliant); anywheres up to an hour or more in Controller Assignments but you may not need to do anything here); and less than a minute for the rest. Do the heavy work once (and tweak it) -- after that, the checkboxes/Midi Channel assignments/track arming is like, 10 clicks every project.
Good luck!
Works great for me with this setup:
all the controllers listed above, Logic 8.0.2, iMac 2.4Ghz, OSX 10.5.6

Can I use the Ethernet Port for a computer when it is also used as a wireless network with an Airport Extreme as the access point for the wireless network

Can I use the Ethernet Port of the A1264 Airport Express to connect to the Ethernet port of a computer that does not have wireless capability when the Airport Express is also used on a wireless network with an Airport Extreme 5th generation as the access point for the network?
I have AE 5th gen
looking to buy (from ebay) the AEX A1264
Various computers, printers and hubs for the network
Is this possible to do?

Bob, Thanks for the info. I have read different articles that said yes, but I wanted to make sure before I commit to buy. I have an older A1084 which I could not use the Ethernet port. I know at one point I was able to when I was on 10.4. Now that I am on an Intel processor and 10.8 I am going to have to upgrade some of my Apple wireless hardware.
Thanks Again.

Travel with Apple TV - Wireless Bridge?

I travel extensively and travel with Apple TV, MacBook Pro, iPhone, and iPad2. After losing about 10 Apple Remotes, I now try to use my iPhone or iPad as the remote to my Apple TV. In fact, it's better than the Apple Remote!
All is wonderful as long as the hotel uses ethernet to connect to the internet. If that's the case, I plug the ethernet cable into my MacBook Pro and create an ad hoc network to share the connection to the other devices, making them all on the same network.
If the hotel only has wireless connections, it only works for one device. I can share the wireless connection through my MacBook Pro, but then I can only plug in the Apple TV, thus not being able to use the Remote application for my iPhone or iPad.
I've been looking at Wireless Bridges. I asked at the Apple Store if the Airport Express or Extreme would work and was told it would not. Does anyone know if a wireless bridge would work? I would bridge the wireless connection to the ethernet port of my MacBook Pro, then share the ethernet back out wirelessly.
Suggestions/ideas?

There is only one account created on this computer, so that makes it the admin. account, right?
Even if your user account has admin privileges, apps don't run as administrator by default. You have to authorize it with your password for that to happen. If you right-click on the iTunes icon, there should be a "Run as Administrator" option in the popup menu.

I have a Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G wireless router and 2 Airport Extremes (the small ones that plug directly into the wall). Is it possible to extend the network from the router using these two AEs? I have a DVD player and Ext HD plugged into the router too..

I have a Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G wireless router and 2 Airport Extremes (the small ones that plug directly into the wall). Is it possible to extend the network from the router using these two AEs? I have a DVD player and Ext HD plugged into the router too. Any ideas? I'm guessing the only way is to do what I've seen in these community pages which states that it can be done but it will drop the bandwidth by 50%. Thoughts?? Thanks!

The Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G was one of the very few routers said to be compatible with Apple's implementation of WDS (Wireless Distribution System) settings.
The info that I have on file indicates that only the WRT-54G versions 4 and under were compatible, so that would be one bridge to cross.
Even if you find that your Cisco/Linksys might be the right version, Apple never published instructions on how to configure the Express devices with other manufactures, so users were left to their own devices to try to figure out how to get things working. Apple's instructions to connect to other Apple devices are in the link below:
WDS network
If you were hoping to use 2 Express devices in this type of configuration...even if it works...the bandwidth penalties will be extremely severe.
The first Express drops the bandwidth (and speed) on the entire network in half and the second halves everything again. So, the result, in effect would be a "g" wireless network running at 25% speed. Few users would consider installing this type of network.
At this point, it becomes one of those things where the fact that you might be able to do something does not mean that there would be much value in doing so. But, it is your decision to decide if you want to try to proceed.

My iMac is able to use my wireless internet from my airport extreme, however, no other devices(iphone, ipod) will connect. The network shows up, but the indicator just spins without ever joining.

I have tried resetting my airport extreme, creating a new network, etc nothing seems to work.

I have a feeling you may be stuck in bridge mode there...
Factory reset the Extreme (so we don't second guess later), and re-set up the extreme using iOS5 on your iPhone.
Set up your Wi-Fi network with your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, or Mac.

Apple Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard not Connecting to iPad

Hey, I try to connect my Apple Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard is not connecting to my iPad. I tap Bluetooth "On" and it searches for devices. Then I slide the switch on the back of my keyboard to the green light and the iPad picks it up and says "Not Paired." So I tap the keyboard and it just spins and spins and spins until the keyboard times out and powers off. Then it disappears and my iPad can't find any devices. I repeated the process several times and I got the same result.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

I had a very similar problem, with a new model wireless keyboard. The set-up is not very intuitive (and the instructions for both the iPad and the keyboard are not particularly helpful). Here's how I got it to work:
1. If the keyboard has already been paired with another object -- e.g., I was testing out my iMac keyboard -- you should be completely out of range of that other object (more than 30 feet away).
2. Make sure Bluetooth on the iPad is disabled.
3. The keyboard should not be "on" -- i.e., no solid green light.
4. Press and hold the power button on the keyboard until you get a blinking green light. This should take just a few seconds.
5. Turn on Bluetooth on the iPad.
6. At this point, it should detect the keyboard and instruct you to enter a combination of keys to pair the two devices.
I found that you have to follow this sequence or it won't work. For example, if you have Bluetooth on on the iPad before holding the power button on the keyboard, it won't work.
I hope that helps.

Is there ANY wireless mouse that will work with the iPad 2 and Apple's Wireless Keyboard?

I have the iPad 2 and Apple's Wireless Keyboard and would like to purchase a wireless mouse that will accommodate my Apple products. I do understand that Apple's Magic Mouse is not compatible with the iPad 2, but would like to hear if there is any possibility that i could use a wireless mouse with my iPad.
Thanks :)

You don't have to purchase a mouse. You already have one, it's wireless and the only one that will work on an iPad.
 Cheers, Tom

"Sticky" keys on apple's wireless keyboard when typing on my ipad.

I am using apple's wireless keyboard on my ipad. It has worked fine for four months but then last night the keys got "sticky", typing any letter I'm hitting continually until I hit escape. Does anyone know how to set it back to normal typing?
The on screen keyboard works fine (I'm using it now), but when i switch to the wireless this happens:
I cannnnn't't't tttttyppeeeeeeee noormallyyyyyyy...............
I tried changing batteries but that didn't help either. Would really appreciate comments/help!!

Do you have a computer with Bluetooth that you can test the keyboard with?
Have you tried going into Settings on the iPad and under Bluetooth tried forgetting the device? You should see the keyboard listed as a device. Pressing the arrow in the blue circle should present an option to forget the device.

Using "delete" key on Apple's wireless keyboard shut down applications on my ipad, such as Mail, in Japanese Font. Any solution?

I use Apple's wireless keyboard to type email messages on my ipad. Often applications, such as Mail, would shut down suddenly after using "delete" key on the wireless keyboard. This happens when I am typing in Japanese language. It is really annoying because I will lose all the text that are not saved. Any suggestions?

Sorry but that was a completely pointless post.

How do I jump between spreads using apple's wireless keyboard?

When in InDesign CS4 for Mac, I often jump to the next spread. First, I center the spread on my screen using Command+Option+0. Then, I use Option+Page up or Page down, and this takes me to the next or previous spread, and it keeps the spread exactly centered. I am going to switch to apple's wireless keyboard, which does not have a page up or page down. Will I still be able to navigate the same way using the arrow keys or another keyboard combination?

You don't have to edit keyboard shortcuts.
Press Fn + Option + up arrow and Fn + Option + down arrow to page to next or previous spread. "Fn" is the function key at the lower left corner of your keyboard.
I also turn on the function "Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys in System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard. This allows you to get access to function keys when necessary.
