Can AE get in conflict with my wireless router when AE is joining?

The problem is that the sound drops out after about 10-60 seconds. I also loose my Internet connection as well as a yellow light on the AE is starting to blink. After about a minute or so it reconnects automatically, but when I start playing music again the same thing is happening..the sound drops out! Any clue why this is happening? I use WEP secure my wirless network.

Does your router support any other form of encryption? See if this KB article makes any sense to you.

Personally, I have a sneaky suspicion it has to do with the way your ASCII/hexadecimal password is or isn't being converted to something recognisable by the router. I use a Linksys router at home with a hexadecimal password generated from an ASCII passphrase, and that seems to work fine.

  • 10.4.11 Update conflict with Netgear wireless router

    I downloaded the 10.4.11 update, and now I can't access my comcast email. I can surf the internet and access everything else, but when using my Netgear wireless to connect, no email. I can connect and access it elsewhere using other wireless routers. Any thoughts or similar experiences?

    I hate when people do this and feel bad, but . . . I have a Netgear WPN824v2 and have not had problems with wireless connections and or retrieving mail.
    I would not be surprised that the Location profile is damaged in someway since you can connect and function on other wireless networks. This type of problem I have never heard of and it kinda makes no sense. Now if you were completely locked out and couldn't surf, then I would suspect the router. But since you can surf . . .
    Try making a whole new Location Profile and see what happens. And/or try to track down any differences in the connection setups for the working wireless' and see that are any differences that the OS upgrade could have changed.

  • Can't connect PB G4 to linksys wireless router when 64bit is established

    Hello-
    I have my PB G4 connected (wirelessly) to a linksys wireless router WRTP54G. If I don't have security set on the router, the PB connects. Once I add the security (64bit) and enter the password, the message "There was an error joining the AirPort network” comes up and I can’t connect. I've connected my other laptop to the network (a PC).
    Any ideas on how to fix this? Thank you in advance.

  • Can I use Time Capsule with Broadband wireless router that also feeds a PC?

    I have just bought Time Capsule but am afraid to open it in case it stops the wireless broadband connection to my Mac and a PC in another room. Any advice?

    There is no vpn built into the native firmware of N16 so I presume you are going to use third party.
    Just plug in the TC and bridge it.. ie go to Internet tab of airport utility and select connection sharing off.
    wireless then you will need to figure out.. you can setup roaming on 2.4ghz by using identical wireless name = ssid and security but lock both to different channels.. pick out of 1, 6, 11
    In a PC network make sure you use the TC with a new name.. no spaces no special characters.. same with wireless. TC also restrict wireless on 2.4ghz to only 20mhz.. if you have the N16 set to 40mhz you will have to be extra careful with channels.. 40mhz will use up two channels and only one remains.. so your household will have filled the 2.4ghz.
    Someone suggested you can turn off 2.4ghz in the TC by not naming it.. When I try that it kicks up an error that it has to be named. So perhaps someone else has a suggestion of how to turn off 2.4ghz.
    You can turn off 5ghz by unchecking it. Seems mighty strange that you cannot turn off 2.4ghz but you can turn off 5ghz.

  • Canon Pixma MG6120 Wireless printer - can't get to work with AirportExtreme

    Canon Pixma MG6120 Wireless printer - can't install mg6100swin104ejs.exe 64 bit wirelss driver on Windows 7 64bit when printer is registered to 10.0.1.X Airport Extreme. Even if I enable Advanced Port Mapping, Printer Sharing the Canon software doesn't recognize the printer if it is registered wirelessly to the Airport Extreme. Canon senior tech support and Apple senior tech support don't know how to help. Any advice for someone who was able to get a Canon Pixma Printer to work with their Airport Extreme from a Windows 7 64bit PC also connected to 10.0.1.X subnet? Your advice is greatly appreciated. The printer once online is pingable at 10.0.1.9 and I can see SD cards and browse photo's just can't get the Canon software to wirelessly activate/install.

    To print from an iPAD using the Lexmark S300 series,you need to download the LexPrint app from this link: LexPrint
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I get my ipad2 with os5 to Kodak wireless printer esp9.

    How can I get my ipad2 with os5 to Kodak wireless printer esp9.

    Airprint won't work with the Kodak printers because Kodak does not support Airprint.  You'll need to check in the App store to see if Kodak makes a printing app for the iPad.  Otherwise, there are a number of third party printing apps.  People have used Printopia, Print n Share, and Print Central with good results.

  • I can't get a signal through whole house because of a brick wall   What range extender do you recommend to be used with my wireless router ( apple brand)

    I can't get a signal through whole house because of a brick wall   What range extender do you recommend to be used with my wireless router ( apple brand)

    Very few 3rd party wireless extenders will work with an Apple router, so your best bet is always to use an extender that is the same brand as the main router. An AirPort Express is a popular choice for this type of application with another Apple router.
    If you had a Cisco router, then a Cisco extender would be your best bet.  Same for Netgear, etc.
    But......a wireless extender can only "extend" the quality of wireless signal that it receives, and not much of a wireless signal is going to make it through a brick wall, so whether any extender might do what you want is open to question.
    You won't know whether an extender using wireless to connect will work to your satisfaction in your home until you actually try it out in your home.
    The performance will always be much better if you can connect the extending device back to the main router using a wired Ethernet cable connection.
    If it is not possible to run the Ethernet cable, a pair of Ethernet power line adapters might be able to send the signal over the existing AC power lines in your home. The theory with these devices is that you already have the wiring in place, you just need the adapters.
    In practice though, things do not always work as well as the theory might suggest, so if you decide to try a pair of adapters, it might be a good idea to understand the store's return policies before you buy.

  • I purchased an ablum thru itunes on my phone and it says i purchased the songs on itunes but when i go on my music it says i have to repurchase all the songs how can i get the songs with out havin to pay again

    I purchased an ablum thru itunes on my phone and it says i purchased the songs on itunes but when i go on my music it says i have to repurchase all the songs how can i get the songs with out havin to pay again

    Whether you can redownload music depends upon what country that you in. If you are using your computer's iTunes then does music show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (on your phone you might be able to redownload media via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app) ? If music shows there, but not that album, then check to see if it's hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    If you aren't in a country when you can redownload music and it's still on your phone then you should be able to copy it over from the phone via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.

  • Can I get a MBP with 32 GB of RAM?

    Can I get a MBP with 32 GB of RAM?:  I know someone is going to give me a 1-word reply: "NO".
    But what I want to encourage is a bit of a discussion here.  Why not 32 gb RAM?  Isn't it about time?  It can't be the price or??  Can't the software handle it?
    I keep things a long time--- 10yr+ PBG4; 5 year MBP-13" --- and that's great when I could (and have) upgraded with more RAM, SSD's etc.  But today's Macs are basically sealed boxes like an iPad I believe (talking MacBOOK / MBP's here, not iMacs)(although they are fairly tightly sealed nowadays, too!).  So I really have to purchase thinking "What will I need in 2020 or 2022?"  -or- "How do I win the lottery?"
    Any comments appreciated -- I was planning to upgrade my mid-2010 MBP from 8 gb to 16 gb RAM (yes, you can… just this one model of that age) --- but perhaps save the $150 and put it towards a new one--- then again, $150 is only about 5 hours of an Watch so might just do that anyway…
    Thanks,
    Steve

    I believe this IS a problem -- it is an issue I have about not being able to run things without enough RAM.
    And I think "No you can't" is not a very helpful answer at all!  In fact I prefaced my inquiry / problem with my first sentence thinking someone like you would give just such a reply---- was trying to avoid that!
    There might be companies out there like OWC or Crucial or I don't know who -- that could / might / might some day provide increased RAM for existing MBP's just like for my MBP 2010 that is spec'd at 8 gb max RAM but there is a 16 gb solution out there.
    So if anyone else would like to try to solve this problem for me --
    Best regards,

  • How can I get the variable with the value from Thread Run method?

    We want to access a variable from the run method of a Thread externally in a class or in a method. Even though I make the variable as public /public static, I could get the value till the end of the run method only. After that scope of the variable gets lost resulting to null value in the called method/class..
    How can I get the variable with the value?
    This is sample code:
    public class SampleSynchronisation
         public static void main(String df[])
    sampleThread sathr= new sampleThread();
    sathr.start();
    System.out.println("This is the value from the run method "+sathr.x);
    // I should get Inside the run method::: But I get only Inside
    class sampleThread extends Thread
         public String x="Inside";
         public void run()
              x+="the run method";
    NB: if i write the variable in to a file I am able to read it from external method. This I dont want to do

    We want to access a variable from the run method of a
    Thread externally in a class or in a method. I presume you mean a member variable of the thread class and not a local variable inside the run() method.

    could get the value till the end of the run method
    only. After that scope of the variable gets lost
    resulting to null value in the called method/class..
    I find it easier to implement the Runnable interface rather than extending a thread. This allows your class to extend another class (ie if you extend thread you can't extend something else, but if you implement Runnable you have the ability to inherit from something). Here's how I would write it:
    public class SampleSynchronisation
      public static void main(String[] args)
        SampleSynchronisation app = new SampleSynchronisation();
      public SampleSynchronisation()
        MyRunnable runner = new MyRunnable();
        new Thread(runner).start();
        // yield this thread so other thread gets a chance to start
        Thread.yield();
        System.out.println("runner's X = " + runner.getX());
      class MyRunnable implements Runnable
        String X = null;
        // this method called from the controlling thread
        public synchronized String getX()
          return X;
        public void run()
          System.out.println("Inside MyRunnable");
          X = "MyRunnable's data";
      } // end class MyRunnable
    } // end class SampleSynchronisation>
    public class SampleSynchronisation
    public static void main(String df[])
    sampleThread sathr= new sampleThread();
    sathr.start();
    System.out.println("This is the value from the run
    method "+sathr.x);
    // I should get Inside the run method::: But I get
    only Inside
    class sampleThread extends Thread
    public String x="Inside";
    public void run()
    x+="the run method";
    NB: if i write the variable in to a file I am able to
    read it from external method. This I dont want to do

    Your main thread continues to run after the sathr thread is completed, consequently the output is done before the sathr thread has modified the string. You need to make the main thread pause, this will allow sathr time to run to the point where it will modify the string and then you can print it out. Another way would be to lock the object using a synchronized block to stop the main thread accessing the string until the sathr has finished with it.

    I've been using LR with my Nikon D3200 for a year or so. Shooting in RAW/NEF no issues with import etc until I updated LR and now I can't get LR to allow me to select when I try to import. It does show the images but they're grayed out and not able to be selected. Any thoughts? TIA

    Greyed imaged in the Import dialog box mean you have already imported the photos into Lightroom, so there is no need and no benefit to importing them a second time.
    Just go to the Library module, search for the desired photos, and resume working on these photos.

    Hi,
    This is currently not supported by iOS for any devices. Rumour is that iOS 5 will finally add this function, until then I'm afraid you are stuck with the good old cable.
