Can't see AE when connecting to a wireless network

Hi there,
I'm having problems joining my AE to an existing wireless network. I've configured the AE using the Airport Setup Assistant (I chose the 'setup new base station' option, and then 'connect to current wireless network'). The AE is glowing solid green. But, I can't see it at all in my Airport Admin Utility, or in the Airport status icon in my menu bar.
Can anyone suggest what I should do?
iBook   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

Sorry for a tardy reply but I've been out of the country. I'm a very basic guy so whenever I have experienced anything similar to your situation, I go to the beginning. I hard reset the ae, run it through setup assistant (vs. admin.) tell it I want to join the existing network enabling iTunes, naming the unit, etc. The only difference in what it sounds like you're doing and what I did was enable the unit to act as a WDS remote (I wanted to extend my range) feeding from the base. it sounds as though the unit can be seen but it is stretched for range. If you elect to do the hard reset, move your ax as close as reasonable to your existing base. After you have done the setup, the light will turn green, then flash amber (twice as I remember) and turn solid green again. You can then unplug it and move it where you need it. I am running three units to three stereos and the furtherest is about ninety feet away with multiple walls. It feeds off the closest ae which is only about thirty feet and the whole thing works as an all select or single select system with iTunes. I have airfoil from rogue amoeba but I have not found it to be as reliable in broadcasting to mutiple units as iTunes. Try it again (I hate to ask) and let us know.

  • IPhone GPS location incorrect when connected to home wireless network

    Hi all,
    My iPhone GPS works well except when I am at home and connect to my wireless network. It always gives the same incorrect location about 3km away from my house. When I turn wireless off then the phone gives my correct location.
    I think it is somehow getting confused when connecting to my airport. (I wonder if it is showing the location of the local telephone exchange?)
    Has anyone else encountered this problem or found a solution? Or can I somehow tell my airport where it is?
    Thanks!

    A company called Skyhook Wireless maps WiFi and cell tower locations it scans. Apple uses this to help your GPS locate itself quicker. Here's how it works: http://www.skyhookwireless.com/inaction/apple.php
    If your WiFi has not been scanned properly, you can submit a WiFi location update by going here: http://www.skyhookwireless.com/howitworks/submit_ap.php

  • How can I get airport to connect automatically to wireless network?

    I temporarily switched from a DSL internet provider to a cable provider, and then back to my old DSL Internet provider. My g5 iMac computer connects to the network through a wireless Belkin router.
    Since I switched Internet providers, every time I turn on my computer, it no longer automatically connects into the wireless network. Instead, to connect I now have to manually select the network.
    I'd really appreciate tips on automating this step. My kids use this computer and due to parental restrictions, they do not have rights to connect to the network.

    Hi there,
    Strictly speaking changing how the internet is coming into the wireless router should not affect the wireless and how machines connect to it, but however to get you out of a hole I would say create a new Location for your home and start again.
    Basically,Disable your wireless first, then in your network settings there is a drop down box at the top of the panel where you can change and create new locations. Create a new one, then select it and click Apply. Now enable your airport and connect to the wireless, once that is done you should be good to go.
    Hope that helps,

  • "connection timed out" when connecting to outside wireless networks

    I have had trouble connecting to some wireless networks. I have no problem at home, at various cafes and such, nor at work. Some hotels or friends' houses that I've tried to connect to give me the message, "connection timed out" after I've entered the correct network and password. The router appears to work fine, since other people can get on the network. What am I missing?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    J

    Finally figured out what it was. Had to reset settings on the router after a lightning storm, contacted Linksys and they walked me through the appropriate sequence, troubleshooting on their end took about 20 mins but they were extremely helpful and very familiar with OS 10.5, all this time I thought it was the Mac's fault.

  • Blank window when connecting to public wireless network

    I'm having trouble connecting my Macbook Pro to the wireless network at my folks' nursing home. The MBP can see the private and public networks, but when I try to connect to the public network, a blank window pops up - no text or buttons. My nephew's Windows laptop connects with no problems. I'm running 10.7 (Lion). Any ideas?

    A guess would be that your university uses a different encryption than your home wireless and that your driver has problems with that. If you search this bbs with your driver's name (and that encryption), you will also encounter a number of freeze problems when using newer kernels. However, those drivers and kernels move quick, so if you see an error in a post from 2 months ago, the error might have vanished already.
    Second, you should find out the card you are using with
    lspci -nn | grep Realtek

  • How do I get my Macbook Pro to automatically select the location when connecting to the wireless network?

    Each time when I want to connect to a different network I have to manually select the location and it's becoming very annoying. How do I get it to automatically select the location?

    Check the following settings on your MacBook
    Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
    Open Network
    Click on AirPort on the left
    Click Advanced at the lower right
    If you have a "favorite" network, make sure it is first in the connection list. If it's not, drag it there
    Make sure that there is a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined"
    No other boxes should be checked
    Click OK, then click Apply

  • No laughing...  I have a Canon ZR 300 camcorder.  I can not see it when connected via firewire in system profile and iMovie doesn't see it either.  Any suggestions?

    I have an old Canon ZR 300 camcorder that I'm trying to connect to my 17" MBP via 9 pin firewire (its a 4 pin to 9 pin cable as the MBP doesn't have a 4 pin firewire - figured it was backwards compatible).  Anyhow, iMovie 09 doesn't see the camcorder.  I checked under System Profile and then under Firewire and it doesn't see it either.  In fact I get some red letters about not seeing firewire devices.  I'm running Lion.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Should using mixed wifi and ethernet clients on a timecapsule work?  if so is it a feature I can use out of the box so to speak?
    Thanks
    No a TC cannot do what you want.. it is now in dumb stupid wireless join mode.. and it turns off the ethernet ports.. in case you want to use the TC as a wireless bridge to multiple clients which is plainly wrong.. (only airport express is allowed to do this since it has only one ethernet port).
    Welcome to Apple. (The plainly wrong above is a figment of Apple imagination.. of strict network protocols.. but unhelpful for a home device. maybe also to encourage sales of expresses.)

  • Users not being notified AD password is going to expire when connecting to corporate wireless network

    Hi All
    In my company we are still on Windows XP.  Every month there are hundreds of calls generated for users who connect primarily to the company network via our Corporate wireless and the passwords expire but they are not notified it is going to expire. 
    This means when users passwords do expire they are then not able to connect to the corporate wireless and the only way to get them up and running again is for them to call the Service Desk and they will then reset the password back to what it was previously.
    This has been logged to the companies 3rd line team and they are telling me there is no way to resolve this.  I find this pretty unbelieveable as WinXP is a long established Operating system across most companies in the world and having the above
    scenario is a massive security risk.
    Does anyone know of or have experience of this?

    Hi,
    You can use Powershell script to send email notifications on AD user password expiration.

  • Can you update apps when connected to itunes on laptop?

    can you update apps when connected to itunes on laptop?

    Yes. You can download the updates to the apps in iTunes and then sync them to the iPad while the iPad is connected to your computer. I did that last night because I had so many large app updates to do - apps that were 250MB up to 650MB in size - and it just made more sense to me to do it that way.

    Are these raw images or JPEG images? If they are raw images are you using the sRaw feature? I don't know if your model has that option. Just looking for possibilities.

    Is there a way to configure win 8 Laptop to airport express?  I can see the connection to the wireless network, but troubleshooter suggests there's there is no gateway and of course no internet. The connection
    shows limited.  Any help you could provide would be most appreciated.  Further, should I simply buy another router for the windows machine?  If I did that, would it interfere with the airport?

    The internal HDDs must be formatted in either EXT3 or EXT4 file system because NSS uses Linux OS.  This is mainly because the RAM designed to fit with the customized Linux OS's size.
    You can connect to an external HDD via a  USB or eSATA port. The external HDD's file system can be NTFS, FAT32, AFT or EXT3/4 to be recognized for read/write. You can connect a 2TB USB/eSATA drive connec to the NSS via USB port to format your HDD for NTFS, AFT, FAT32, or EXT3/4 partition.
    You can join the NSS to a Windows domainr so all domain users to access NSS. You cannot replace the NSS for the Windows 2003 SP2 server. They are two different products and do different jobs. Windows server is features sets server while the NSS is the files/data server.
    Hope that helps!!

    If I have a large amount of music/movie content in the cloud, how do I get it onto my iPad/iPhone so I can hear/see it when I dont have access to WiFi?

    If you go into the Purchased tab in the iTunes store apps on your iPad and iPhone then you might be able to redownload them from there - they should then be accessible in the Music / Videos app without you needing to be be online.
