Cannot connect with extreme, yet Express works fine

I just moved into a loft that has built in high-speed internet. Before unpacking I used my Airport Extreme (a wonderful product btw;) and had no problems. Tried out my Airport Extreme but it only connects sporadically, for short periods, and only after multiple bouts of "shut everything down and bring it back up again".
Specifically:
- under the network connection assistant thing all lights are green up to, but not including, "Internet" or beyond (typically)
- pages look like they are preparing to load but no progress is made
- the loft has a Linsys router (called a workgroup switch)
Now while the Extreme was having difficulty I removed the cable and popped it into the Express, VIOLA! it works seamlessly every time.
Any suggestions and what to do?
Powermac G4 - Dual 1.0 & iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5) AP Extreme and Express, Linsys router

Sorry, in the first paragraph I meant to say I connected to my Airport EXPRESS at first and it work without a hitch transmitting the internet signal from the linksys router to my laptop. It is my darn AP Extreme Base Station that is giving all the problems... What's up with that?
Also, when I plug the router into the WAN and computer into LAN (in the base station) the Airport Utility gives me a warning that an Ehternet connection is in the LAN port and I should switch my Internet connection to the WAN port. IT IS IN THE WAN PORT! OMG, this is getting frustrating....

Why does my retina MBPro and the projector go blank, when connecting with HDMI? This worked fine until the latest OS and firmware update.

Connecting through HDMI worked fine, until the recent firmware update and the 10.7.5 OS update. Now, both retina display and projector dosplay go blank, with the screen coming back when unplugged from the projector.

Clone your system.
Never apply updates w/o one.
And yes there is a page with all the Apple Downloads to do manually and then you can keep it on hand. Same for the OS X Lion or ML installer - save them before running. Still on 10.6.8 so you have OS X 10.6 DVD.
Combo updates do not do any harm. There could be issues to the drive directory beforehand.
Mac Pro has been shipping with Lion since summer 2011, though you can even now still reinstall iwth 10.6.4+

Airport Express works fine with non-Apple products???

I've owned my Airport Express for 2 years now and never a problem until this morning. Now, the airport express is powered on, green light and all, connected to cable modem, but my Early 2008 Macbook Pro and iPhone 4 will not connect to it. Funny though, because it shows up in my list of networks on both devices. When I try to select it from the list (of course it used to connect automatically, now it doesn't connect at all), neither the MBP nor the iPhone can establish a connection with it. Sometimes the iPhone asks for a password, even though the password hasn't changed and it is stored in the device. It should also be noted that both the iPhone 4 and MBP can still see and connect to my neighbors' wireless routers within range.
Now for the really weird part: the Airport Express still connects to and performs at 100% with other devices, including 1) my Dell running Windows Vista, 2) my XBox 360, 3) HTC Thunderbolt phone, and 4) a Sony Blu Ray player with wireless internet capabilities. I have power cycled all of the equipment at least 5 times, and all of the non-Apple devices continue to connect to the Airport Express just fine, while the iPhone 4 and MBP cannot connect. I have even installed Airport Utility on the Dell and did a full factory reset of the Airport Express, but that didn't fix the problem either.
What is going on here?

At first we could plug the Dell in directly but that was before setting up the AX. Now that the AX works the Dell cannnot connect even wired. (It says that it's connected but it cannot find server when you try to open a webpage). Could this be a problem that the moden cannot go between Mac & windows?
Most modems tend to "remember" the last device connected to it, so it's important to do a complete power-down/power-up when switching devices. It's possible that your modem did this when you attempted to connect the PC directly. My purpose of having you connect the PC directly was to verify that it can access the Internet with a wired connection and that it's wireless setting needs to be troubleshot further.
The power recycle process should be something like the following:
- Power-off the modem & AX; If possible, leave the modem off overnight.
- Power-on the modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
- Power-on the AX; Wait at least 5 minutes.

HT4907 I am able to connect to my Mac Mini on Back to My Mac through iCloud but the keyboard/trackpad on the MBAir or MBP with which I access does not register on the Mini. So I can see the screen but cannot interact with it. Mini works accessing MBP/Air

I am able to connect to my Mac Mini on Back to My Mac through iCloud but the keyboard/trackpad on the MBAir or MBP with which I access does not register on the Mini. So I can see the screen but cannot interact with it. Mini works accessing MBP/Air and I can use Mini to input data or interact with screens of those computers.

Regarding your first question about bookmarks, I think you discovered the answer in when you pressed the address bar. The second tab there has your bookmarks.
As for the keyboard, I'm not sure why your Firefox is reacting so slowly; mine seems to show keyboards even when I don't want them. If you have accumulated a lot of history, perhaps that's an issue?
Did you use any third party software to move your Firefox data from internal memory to the storage card?

My Apple desktop computer, 2.4 GHz Intel duo core, OS 10.6.8, stopped recognizing the WD My Book connected via firewire. It works fine with the USB port so it's not the drive. Help please.

It can be the bridge. It could need firmware update. or the FW ports may be an issue. LaCie seemed to invent the phrase/tip 'resetting firewire ports' due to the issues with their drive cases.
You can try an SMC Reset.
So far I have avoided name-brand and tend to see them mentioned. Often with a new OS (though you are on 10.6.8, but when 10.6 came out there was a common complaint and thread of users: FW or USB worked but not the other interface).

ITunes cannot connect with this iPad Error/iOS 5 problem

It appears that ever since upgrading to iOS 5 and opting to sync my first gen iPad wirelessly, I have been receiving an error message each morning stating "iTunes cannot connect with this iPad..."
The wireless sync capability works fine, I plug my iPad into the wall when I come home, and it starts pushing and pulling all the new apps that I've downloaded in the day.
It appears that iTunes is will regularly try to connect with the iPad while it is charging. At some point during the evenings, either my iPad will be asleep or my iMac will be asleep. I think this is where the connection problem is arising.
Does anyone know how to change iTunes' frequency of wireless sync to a device that it is wirelessly connected to? Ideally, I'd like it to only sync wirelessly once when I plug the iPad into the wall.

FaceTime cannot connect with my Apple ID or make a new connection.

I have a problem with Facetime on my MacBook Pro. It shows my camera okay, but cannot connect with my Apple ID or make a new connection. Just get an error message that reads "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." But I'm still connected to the internet and I can still access the iTunes Store with my Apple ID. Any ideas?

Yes Susan,
I changed my DNS settings to 8.8.8.8 and was then able to sign in to Facetime using my Apple ID. Apple then sent me an email verifying my email address, and all was good. I then changed my DNS settings back to normal and Facetime works completely fine.
You can find your DNS Settings in your Network Preferences, then click Advanced at the bottom right, then click on DNS from the tabs at the top.
Hope that helps

When I try ti pair my phone again, i go into the connection window, seach for a bluetooth connection, then in step 3 of 4 PC Suite show's a list of phone that i use to be connected to (before i had the problem). i cannot go any further in the connection setup process. I then tried to unpair my phone, and I get an error message 'cannot unpair phone'.
I really don't know what the problem is, but this is causing major problems for me as I use my phone calendar everyday and I can no loger sync with my laptop. Appreciate any assistance. Below are my specs:

I have probably the same problem it was working fine, but some time in January 2009 it the connection with PC Suite ceased working. I have produced this error over cable as well as IR.
Version of Windows: Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002, Service Pack 2
Version of PC Suite: 7 1 18 0 eng web
Connection method: cable, and IR?
Phone: E61i
1. I connect the phone.
2. PC Suite says "Click here to connect a phone"
3. I click and the connection wizard opens
4. I select "Infrared"
5. PC Suite immediately opens new window that says "You have now the following connections available:
Nokia E61i IrDA"
6. I click the green button and return to PC Suite that still says "Click here to connect a phone"
7. If I click on synchronisation, the synch button is not enabled: I cannot synchronise or use any other application in PC Suite. But if I right click the IR symbol on windows and select "transfer files" then I can send a file to the phone.
Would really appreciate help on this.
Thanks

Hi，
So switch a LAN card fix this issue...seems a compatibility issue or maybe some packs or programs you installed recently cause this issue.
Have you manually check the network adapter driver from the PC's manufacture website? sometimes, it will be a time delay before Microsoft push out the driver update.
Check if issue exists in safemode with network, this mode will launch Windows with limited sets of files and drivers.
if you have a restore point, restore the pc to a previous point at which the pc is functioning fine.

I cannot connect with Adobe through PSE12. The first time the message told me Help did not install and to uninstall and reinstall, which I did today. I still cannot connect; yet, I was able to register the serial numbers for both elements and premiere.
In trying resolve the problem, I got another message that indicates there is no internet connection. I have analyzed the install log and nothing there indicates an error in installation.
I still have PSE 10 on my computer and can connect direct when in 10.

No. I tried the "activation-network-i ssues" before 2 times.

1. I have/had internet connection
2. I can call https pages
3. drivers/etc/Hosts was/are clean.
4. Current User > Trusted Root Certificate Authorities > Certificates is installed/enabled and the correct fields are checked

HT1386 While trying to update an app I keep getting a "cannot connect with iTunes store"message

For some reason my iPad say I cannot connect with iTunes store while trying to update an app. I've tried all I know. Any suggestions?

I am getting the same message. This is what I did to update my apps.
Go to the App Store and search for one of the apps that needs an update. When the app appears in the search - there should be an Install button next to the app icon. Tap on it and see if the download will start. It worked for me.
After over two years of owning iPads and never having had this happen before - this is happened to me twice now in the last two weeks. It's weird, but it happens.

Airport express worked fine now shows only constant amber light ?

airport express worked fine now shows only constant amber light ?

A solid amber light indicates that the AirPort Express cannot get out of startup mode.....likely because of a power supply issue within the device.
Try a Factory Default Reset as a last resort to see if that might help. To do this....
Power off the AirPort Express and wait a minute or two
Hold in the reset button on the Express first, and keep holding it for 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the Express back into power
Release the reset button after the hold period and allow a full minute for the Express to restart
At this point, if the Express is operating correctly, the amber light will be blinking slowly and you can reconfigure the Express again.
If the amber light remains solid after a few reset attempts, the internal power supply on the Express is faulty and the device will need to be replaced.
