Can't get Extreme to work on a previously established etwork

Hi all,
I have 4 macs: a G4 iMac (the lamp-base/swivel screen model running Panther) a G4 laptop (running Tiger) a one year old G5 iMac (Tiger) and a brand spanking new unbelievably thin and sexy G5 iMac. I've had a standard airport-based wireless network running flawlessly for years. I decided I'd upgrade to an Airport Extreme with the arrival of the new iMac (yesterday). I followed the instructions on setting up a "new" network with a "new" Airport. At the end of the process, I get the "Congratulations, you're now ready to use..."mumbo-jumbo and have five over five reception on the icon which shows "airport status". Only thing is....I can't connect to the internet. ACK!!!!!. I have cable, a reliable connection and am writing and sending this via my OLD standard airport. Any ideas as to *** is going on and more importantly, HTF can I fix it??
I decided to use security level WEP and submitted a password...oddly enough, when I re-reran alll the setup crap there was a different 30-something character password that I never submitted, saw, or agreed to. I'm an old Mac hand, but not a script-savy geek, and I'm completely flummoxed by this. Any suggestions?? Help?? similar experiences?? Kindly reply here and to my web-based e-mail:[email protected]
You guys da bomb...mahalo...

The first thing to do after switching devices connected to a cable modem is to reset the connection with your internet service provider. Connect the new Base Station to your cable modem, then pull power to both devices for at least five minutes (longer is better). Then plug the modem back into power and wait a minute, then plug the Base Station into power and wait a minute, then try internet access again.
Where was it that you saw this "30 character password" displayed?

  • Negative (to inline a letter or to thin it) offset path does not work in Illus-CC 2014 (when preview is on- nothing happens). How can I get this to work like in previous versions.

    Negative (to inline a letter or to thin it) offset path does not work in Illus-CC 2014 (when preview is on- nothing happens). How can I get this to work like in previous versions.

    Thanks for your quick reply. I tried a number of different values. Usually when I do a negative offset they're very small values, like -.25 or -.5.
    An Update- I took the art work into Ai CS 6 and It still did not work, which is really strange. And I've used it hundreds of times with success in the past. Also I tried it with live type and outlines, ungrouped, un-compounded still could not get it to negative offset.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Can't get Extreme to work for me

    I bought an Airport Extreme in May and just cannot get it to work for me. It most likely has to do with my settings as it seems complicated for me. My ISP refuses to help me other than providing me with some router/IP info. They claim they have had problems with Airport Extremes (anti-Mac) and do not know how to help me and I should contact Apple. My ISP also claims they have been successful with their few Mac clients using NetGear and they can help with that.
    This is depressing to me because I am loyal Mac user and have never had problems with any Mac product. But I can't figure this one out on my own. I do not see phone support for the Airport Extreme and I feel exhausted by this.
    Is anyone is willing to walk me (could be painful) through this or willing to buy my Extreme and I will concede to my pro-Windows ISP. In the end, all I want is one of my computers to be online wireless.
    Sigh.

    Hi Jeanine,
    Don't assume that it is just a question of anti-Macness. There are legitimate reasons why an ISP (or a business) decides not to support this weird device. It goes against most of what is considered reasonable by the leading manufacturers, but hey, it's Apple. They usually don't care about that as long as they have loyal customers who still trust Apple.
    I'd say that the critical settings are in the Internet tab. Assuming you have your computer connected to the airport using an Ethernet cable, and that you have the Admin Utility running, go to the Internet Tab and make sure that:
    1. Connect using: Ethernet
    2. Configure IP - It depends. You say that your ISP has given you some router/IP info. In that case, you need to choose "Manually" and enter all the fields following this setting. Otherwise, they might have told you that you will be assigned a DHCP address, and in this case choose "Using DHCP." The last two boxes ("Domain Name" and "DHCP ID") are usually not utilized.
    3. For "Ethernet WAN Port" Automatic should suffice, but in my case, I had to force it to 100 Full Duplex or otherwise wouldn't work. Go figure!
    4. For Connection Sharing, most probably you'll have "Share a public IP address" but if the ISP gives you a set of addresses, you may need to choose "Distribute a Range..." Not probable, though.
    Leave the other two tabs as default, but make sure that your computer has DHCP enabled.
    Following this steps won't give you a fully working wireless network (we have not configured anything yet) but at least should give you a working state for computers connected via Ethernet wire. We can take the next step then.
    Good luck. This router (and the iPhone for similar reasons) are going to make may Apple loyal customers rethink future purchases. It has certainly happened to me.

  • Using airport extreme in china - can't get it to work

    I just moved to china and have been trying to set up a new Airport Extreme dual band to my high speed internet connection but can't get it to work (bought the AE in the US and worked fine there). I have a Green light on the physical AE, and in Network Status section under Network Diagnostics I get green lights on Airport, Network Settings and ISP, but yellow/red on Internet and Server. The type of internet connection is direct, supplied by China Telecom with no router/modem in my unit, but with ethernet cable running directly to the phone room connection. I manually set up the AE using the same IP address, subnet, DNS as shows up when I plug the ethernet cable directly into my computer, with the internet working fine with a direct connection to computer and no AE.

    What you did makes complete sense Mike, but if you don't have access to the router you may have to get your ISP to recognize your Extreme's MAC address:
    AirPort Base Station: ISP provisioning may prevent Internet connection via broadband (cable or DSL)
    For example: Suppose that you have a computer connected to a cable modem before purchasing an AirPort Base Station. Your Internet service provider might recognize your computer's MAC address as the correct one for your account. Your new base station then takes the position on your network that was formerly occupied by your computer, but you have not taken any action to let your Internet service provider (or its hardware) know the new address. The base station then sends packets to your Internet service provider that do not contain the required MAC address, and the packets are ignored.
    It may be as simple as leaving everything disconnected from your service provider for a period of time. You might also try turning Connection Sharing "off" (bridge mode).

  • I have an airport extreme attached to cable, then one airport express to extend the range. when i try to add an additional airport express to extend range in another area of house, can't get it to work. unility says it has found a new base station

    i have an airport extreme attached to cable, then one airport express to extend the range. when i try to add an additional airport express to extend range in another area of house, can't get it to work. utility says it has found a new base station and asks if i want to use it. if i click yes, then the old setup is disabled.

    Ok, thanks for clarifying which models you have. Please see the following Apple Support article on how to configure these older base stations for a Wireless Distribution System (WDS).

  • What ADSL modem do you advise to use with my new airport extreme? I have tried a basic TP-Link ADSL2  modem and I can't get the configuration working. What modem does Apple recommend?

    I am having problems setting up airport extreme.
    What ADSL modem do you advise to use with my new airport extreme? I have tried a basic TP-Link ADSL2+  modem and I can't get the configuration working. What modem does Apple recommend?

    Ok well I have looked around some more and have found this to be the most up to date official response to my question as seen at this link here:
    http://www.actiontec.com/support/product_details.php?pid=41#q27
    Can I Bridge the Actiontec MI424WR router that Verizon provided, when I signed up for FiOS service?
    The MI424WR does not have a bridging option, and neither Verizon nor Actiontec support attempting to bridge it.
    The desire to bridge the MI424WR is based on a misunderstanding that it is a modem as well as a router. Actiontec does produce DSL Gateways that have a Transparent-Bridging option, which bypasses or disables the router function and allows the Gateway to act simply as a DSL modem, when it is enabled. Many consumers do not realize that with FiOS, the ONT (typically outside the home) is the device that handles changing the FiOS signal from Fiber to either Ethernet or Coax, and that the Router is just a Router, and if it was bridged or bypassed, it would be a device without a function. For most Verizon FiOS customers their service would completely stop if the MI424WR was bridged, because the Video on Demand service is dependent on it to work.
    If your ONT is connected to the Actiontec MI424WR router via Coax, the MI424WR is required due to the Coax connection. But if the ONT is connected to the MI424WR via Ethernet, then in most cases some other router can be substituted for the MI424WR, and it can be removed."
    So it looks like I will be calling Verizon support to see about getting the Ethernet connection installed and getting another modem...

    Do I need Apple TV or to change some settings somewhere?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    You are making some progress with setup of wireless network. Apparently there is reliability problem with the wireless connection. Perhaps you want to refer to following Apple support documents and start tweaking parameters in the router to improve the reliability. I used to have third-party routers such as Belkin and Netgear but switched to Apple Airport routers (Time Capsule then Airport Extreme for now) because of incompatibility issues whenever Apple upgrade Mac OS X. But since Apple develops Airplay protocol as alternative to Bluetooth for wireless audio/video streaming (with much better bandwidth) and must be deployed in any wireless network, there is no reason third-party routers not working for Airplay protocol.

    Port Forwarding.....or Port Mapping....as Apple calls it is a difficult and complex configuration method for most users. Because there are so many variables involved in this type of setup, it is not possible to provide a step by step guide that will work for everyone with all devices.
    It is possible that a setup guide exists for the the WD drive and AirPort Extreme, but you will have to go looking for it on the Internet. Even if you find one, it may not be tailored to your specific situation or needs.
    Sometimes, you can do everything right....at least according to someone's article or "how to" guide, and things still will not work correctly.
    In situations like this, when you really don't know what to do, you need to enlist the aid of an IT pro, who will know what to do based on your particular products and unique circumstances. Sometimes....they won't be able to get things working either due to particular circumstances.
    But, before you do this, I would strongly recommend that you use a Static IP address for your Internet connection with your ISP. If you do not have this now, contact them to ask them if they offer this type of connection. Expect to pay more for this type of service, of course.

  • Still can't get airplay to work!!!!!

    Grrrrrrrrr. Still can't get airplay to work with either my iPad or my iPhone to my atv2. Everything has the latest firmware, including my airport extreme. Airplay is turned on in options on the atv2.
    Everything is on the same network. I even switched networks but still nothing.
    I do not see the blue icon that let's me stream to the tv.
    What the heck am I doing wrong?

    Hi,
    Your profile indicates you are running v10.5.7. If that's the case, you need to update your system software to v10.5.8 which is the minimum requirement for the iPad.
    Click the Apple () menu then click: Software Update...
    And make sure Bluetooth is not enabled on either the iPad or the iPhone. Tapping Settings / General / Bluetooth.

  • Have entrourage and want to use Mail. Can't get it to work.

    I had a macbook and purchased the Microsoft office for Mac which included Entrourage.
    I have now purchased a new macbook Pro and want to begin to use Mail rather than Entrourage. 
    I have Entrourage on my new computer but i can't get it to transfer my information to the the Mail program
    I am on Charter.net at my office and sbcglobal.net at home.
    How can i get this to work.  I can receive on Mail, but i can't send.

    check your outgoing port settings and make sure it's using a specific port and not the default port, also you might want to check to see if it is using SSL, TLS or any other encryption.  Verify the setting from your old machine setup.

    If it's showing the red disabled screen due to incorrect passcodes then you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad via your computer's iTunes and restore/resync your content to it

    Hi,
    Is there an iPhone involved ?
    If not, what happens  if you remove the Apple ID on the iPad and then set it in Airplane Mode (allow a couple of minutes at this point) followed by re-adding the Apple ID ?
    What, if any error messages are appearing on the Mac when you try to launch the App or Login to the iMessages server ?
    Is the Apple ID linked to an iCloud account ?

  • I bought an IR receiver and an Apple Remote, and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong?

    I bought an IR receiver and an Apple Remote, and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong? The receiver is a Lenovo eHome OVU430006/01 USB IR Receiver.

    Hello,
    You would need to pair the Apple Remote with the receiver. So I would use the generic Mac/PC receiver and follow these instructions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1619
    If that doesn't work then check in System Profiler to see if the IR receiver has been recognized by the PowerBook's hardware. You may require the install of drivers for this device to be recognized.
    Best of luck
