Computer/devices will not recognize newly installed base station and make a network connection.

iMac running latest version of Yosemite, 6.3.4 version of Airport Utility, 2TB Airport Time Capsule 802.11ac. Installed latest base station as a replacement for an earlier 3T model and with Apple Tech Support was finally able to establish wireless internet connection. Time Machine nor printer connections cannot recognize the new base station/network.

Unless you have changed the settings on your Mac in Time Machine > Preferences to update them for your new Time Capsule, Time Machine is still programmed to remember and use the old settings to find your old Time Capsule, which is no longer there.
Open up Time Machine / Preferences and remove the current disk that is being used with Time Machine.
Then, click Select Disk, click on your current Time Capsule disk (likely called Data unless you have changed it) to highlight it, then click Use Disk
The first backup to the new Time Capsule should start in a few minutes.
As far as the printer, the same conditions likely exist......namely that your printer is remembering the settings to communicate with your old Time Capsule, which is no longer there, so you need to tell your printer that you have a new Time Capsule and provide it with the correct settings to connect.
Start over again, just as if the printer was new, and set up the printer again to connect to the new Time Capsule.

    I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch).  All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices. Help please

    The ipod is not a backup/storage device.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
    The Apple store will do this for you,  you can call apple support and they will help you, you can use google.

  • How do move my music from iPod to a new computer that will not recognize my last iTunes account

    My school district installed new computers. The IT told us that our iTunes would not be effected.  When I went into iTunes on my new computer, there was nothing there. Obviously I can't plug in my iPod or everything would be erased.  They said that there is nothing they can do about this.
    How do I move my music from this iPod to this new computer that will not recognize my last iTunes account?  It appears that it was wiped out. I have close to 400 songs that I use for daily classes. The os is now Windows 7. The old one was Vista.
    Thanks for your help.

    I have an old nano purchased in 2006. It indicated new models on the page.
    Any other suggestions?

  • Trying to connect a NetGear Wifi Range Extender to my existing Wifi. I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and I am also connected to a Vonage Phone Router. Any help would be appreciated?

    I am trying to connect a NetGear Wifi Range Extender to my existing Wifi. I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and I am also connected to a Vonage Phone Router. Any help would be appreciated?
    The Apple update Firmware for my Airport Extreme Base Station does not update for some reason? Help?
    Additionally, I have an older version Airport Express that does not update with the newer Airport Utility Version 6.3 and asks me to download 5.6 to update? Is this worth it?
    Thanks

    The netgear is not going to work very well.. and not at all unless it is universal wireless extender.. you cannot use WDS method.
    If it does support universal wireless then make sure the airport uses a rational SMB compatible wireless name.. not an apple name which is 35 characters long with spaces and illegal characters like apostrophe.
    So nice AE name.. AEwifi and actually while you are trying.. fruitlessly to do this.. use AE24ghz and AE5ghz (so different names on the different bands)
    Assuming your AE is gen3 or greater.
    You should also fix the wireless channel at least for 2.4ghz since the netgear is probably only going to repeat 2.4ghz so use channel 11, as a trial.
    And use no wireless security as a test.. if that works.. then use WPA1 & 2.. as often old equipment using WPA2 is not compatible.
    If it fails with simple name.. fixed channel and no security. Sorry it is not compatible at all.. it happens.
    If your AE is G wireless or earlier model.. really the time has come for replacement.
    If your Express is G wireless model it is not supported.. and is too old to bother with expect I guess if you want to run audio to a speaker.
    You must use older 5.6 utility to do this.. so do you have a computer running older OS.. up to Mountain Lion it is easy to install with a bit of manipulation.. later is much harder .. or windows computer anywhere or available to you.

  • Roaming (ethernet connected base station) and wireless extended network at the same time. Good idea?

    I have a Time Capsule (6th gen.) which is my main base station. I also have a number of airport extremes around the house. I only use them in the client mode, i.e. they just join the network so that I can stream audio to devices connected to them.
    As I had bad reception in the garden, I installed my old dual-band airport extreme (4th gen) in the garden shed. All Apple articles I read on the topic convinced me that roaming (ethernet connected base station) is much better than wireless extending because you don't lose throughput. As I had no ethernet in the shed, I used two powerline adapters to bring ethernet there and I connected my airport extreme.
    Then I had to re-install all the airport expresses (as I had also changed the name of the network) and I noticed that the default option of the Airport utility is to make them extend the network wirelessly instead of just joining to it. I did not do it, but I am wondering. Is it a good idea? As they are in different rooms than the Time Capsule, of course the network there is not as strong as close to the Time Capsule. I still get "good enough" connection, but I will I have an improvement if I allow every Airport Express to extend the network as well? Or will I have problems with the throughput. My idea is not to do it and keep the net as simple as possible, i.e just extend it with roaming in the garden where I really need it and let the airport expresses in client mode.

    As usual AirPort Utility is trying to be clever. It is proposing what Apple thinks most people will want to do with it, and most of the time it succeeds.
    Having the Expresses "wirelessly extend" the Time Capsule's wireless network will increase your wireless network service area and should not introduce new problems. If that is not what you want to do though, you can certainly return to AirPort Utility and select "join a wireless network". It is a simpler configuration, and simpler is better for home wireless networks.
    Wireless > Network Mode > Join a wireless network.

  • Airport Extreme Base Station and Airport Express network

    Should I be configuring my Airport Express to extend the network of the Airport Extreme Base station or to be joining that network?

    "Extend" if you want the Express to provide more wireless coverage in the area where it is located. This is a good choice for most users.
    "Join" if you you don't need any additional wireless coverage in that area.
    In both configurations above.....AirTunes is enabled and the USB port is active use with a "remote" printer.

  • My computer will not recognize my ipod touch 4g and will not charge it.

    A short while ago, my computer simply stopped recognizing my iPod touch 32gb 4g. When I plug it in to any USB port, nothing happens. Same if I try to plug my iPod into an adapter. I have tried everything both apple and the previous discussions have covered. I've uninstalled everything pertaining to apple or iTunes and reinstalled it. I've tried going into revoery mode, I've even tried running an independant driver without iTunes. The funny thing is, if I go into settings-general-reset-erase content and settings, the iPod will charge, but it won't reset. I figured that out by accident trying to wipe my iPod to reset it. Any ideas? Please help, I'd rather not have to spend another $300 for another iPod. Another note, my iTunes will find the iPod over WiFi. I don't know if that helps any.

  • I have installed Adobe flash 11.0 repeatedly and it will work for other browsers, but Moxilla will not recognize it. How do I make it detect it?

    I have Windows 7 running on a new Dell Inspiron.

  • Itunes "apple mobile device" will not work or install

    Recently my computer has being doing some strange things. I have used iTunes on my Windows 7 computer for many months and several years on other computers without incident but recently my iTunes fails to detect my iphone 4gs. I have read some of the posts about manually restarting the Apple Mobile Device but all attempts had failed so I uninstalled all of iTunes. But now when i try to install iTunes again the message:
    "Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify that you have specific privileges to start system services"
    appears everytime with only the options : "abort" , "retry" and "ignore"
    If I click abort the installer does not finish, if i click retry the same message appears and if i click ignore the installer does not install everything. i am the administrator of my computer so i am confused as to why it asks me about my priveleges and iTunes has never had any problems such as this on my computer.
    Please help me resolve this issue as i am desperate to find an answer
    PS. Also before this problem occured i noticed that my itunes kept failing to update when it asked me to. i do not remember the specific message but it was something to with the update not installing/downloading properly

    I am Having Exactly the problems running win 7 I have installed / uninstalled rebooted clead reg the lot  5 times   as ****. I have wasted many hours on this.
