Connecting PS3 slim and Timecapsule

We are having a heck of a time getting our new PS3 Slim to work with our TimeCapsule (wireless internet connection). The PS3 sees the Time Capsule, but the PS3 queries against the Time Capsule and then times out before it ever gets an IP address from the Time Capsule. We have WPA2 encryption.
We have other computers using our network, so we know connectivity is not the problem. We can't seem to get the PS3 to talk to Aiport.
Anyone had this problem and have a solution?
I am also getting a DNS error 80710102 on the Playstation
Any ideas to fix this?

First try removing all security and encryption for the sake of troubleshooting and see if you can get them to handshake. If so, try WEP or WPA.
If you must have WPA2, another solution is to get an Airport Express and plug it into a powerpoint near the PS3. Using the Airport Express utility, configure the Express to 'Join a wireless network' and tick the option to 'allow ethernet clients'. Then connect the Express to the PS3 using a network cable.

Connecting Time Capsule to PS3 Slim

We are having a heck of a time getting our new PS3 Slim to work with our TimeCapsule (wireless internet connection). The PS3 sees the Time Capsule, but the PS3 queries against the Time Capsule and then times out before it ever gets an IP address from the Time Capsule. We have WPA2 incryption. So we looked on Google, and someone said we needed to convert the password to a hexidecimal string (which we did using Airport Utility). When we got this string, it was all cap letters and numbers. When we entered it, the PS3 told us the format was wrong, which we assume is because it needs a lowercase letter, which the Aiport Utility did not give us.
We have other computers using our network, so we know connectivity is not the problem. We can't seem to get the PS3 to talk to Aiport.
Anyone had this problem and have a solution? Do we need to change to WEP? Do we need to change the Time Capsule password to a numeric string? We are at a loss.
Thanks.

We have our PS3 connected wirelessly to our Time Capsule > ADSL Modem > Internet, first I used the Easy option to configure the PS3 then once I had a connection went back and Customised the settings.
One thing to make sure of is the *WAP2-PSK (AES)* Key make sure you enter it correctly as mistaking a capitol I - i for a lowercase l -L will mess everything up.
*PS3 Network Settings*
*Internet Connection:* Enabled
*Connection Method:* Wireless
*Signal Strength:* 90%
SSID: *****
BSSID: *****
Channel: 1
Security: WPA2-PSK (AES)
*WPA Key:* *****
*Address Settings:* Automatic
*IP Address:* ***** (I set my Time Capsule to reserve this IP Address for my PS3)
Subnet: 255:255:255:0
*Default Router:* (This shows my Time Capsule IP Address)
*Primary DNS:* 212.159.6.10
*Secondary DNS:* 212.159.6.9
MAC: *****
MTU: Automatic
*Proxy Server:* Do Not Use
UPnP: Not Available (I set to enable when going through the setup process)
NAT: Type 2
Another thing to note after you have successfully got your connection running is the DNS addresses. I did have ours set to Automatic which was then using the Time Capsule, however going onto VidZone I could not get videos to play, Playstation Home was fine. So I went back into the settings and changed the +Primary and Secondary DNS+ addresses to the ones my ISP states on their website. After this all the videos in VidZone run like a dream.
Hope this helps some people.

PS3 Slim not connecting to AirPort snow

hey all,
picked up a new PS3 slim the other day and am having a helluva time getting it connect to my AirPort. ive seen other posts about this all over but no solutions. ive tried all sorts of things (manual IP, powercycling, resetting passwords, inputting the PS3 MAC address into the airport, etc...) but it still wont connect via WiFi. anyone got a fix or can tell me what im doing wrong? thanks in advance.

i hooked up via ethernet and it works perfectly. id really like to get the wireless going tho. any help would be appreciated.

I cannot get my iMac with built-in airport to allow internet connections to Nook and PS3. The devices access the network, but internet connection fails. Internet sharing is enabled, network security (WEP, WPA) is completely off. What to check next?

I cannot get my iMac with built-in airport wi-fi to allow internet connections to Nook and PS3. The devices access the network, but internet connection fails. Internet sharing is enabled, network security (WEP, WPA) is disabled. What to check next?

On an additional note, I've purchased a wireless router and everything connected on the first attempt. It just vexes me that the built-in wireless isn't working as a router. Is this another example of "Mac only plays with Mac"?

Design flaw in PS3 Slim

My new PS3 slim 160gb won't read properly formatted (FAT32) USB mass storage devices that my old 80gb PS3 will read just fine, with one odd exception. My old PS3 has since died.
I had made a backup of my old PS3 using the backup utility with a new, 1TB Western Digital MyEssentials external hard drive. The old PS3 had no problem recognizing this drive. When I tried to do the restore on the new PS3, it wouldn't recognize the drive.
After trying three other FAT 32 USB devices on the Slim with no luck, I Googled the problem and found a blog in which others had the exact same issue. I did find a workaround solution offered by one poster for the WD external drive. Oddly enough, if you pull the USB cable from the drive itself, plug the cable into the Slim, then, very slowly, insert the cable back into the drive, but not all the way. When you feel the drive start spinning, slowly plug it in the rest of the way and you'll see the white LED on the drive light up, and bingo, the Slim has recognized the drive. Only problem is, you'll need to do this every time you start up the Slim, which is a real pain if you're trying to use the drive for permanent additional storage.
One poster said he was able to get a Seagate external drive to connect with no problems but I haven't verified this. Sony customer service denies that a design flaw exists because they don't guarantee that all FAT32 USB devices will connect, however, as I said before, I had no problem getting any of these devices connected to my old PS3. Therefore, no doubt about it, this is a design flaw. I'm going to talk tonight with an attorney friend of mine who's firm specializes in consumer product law to see if we have a legal remedy.
I'll keep you all posted.

Problem with MacBook and TimeCapsule (with Workaround)

Hi,
thought it might be helpful to post my recent experience with my new MacBook (2,4GHz) and my *Time Capsule*.
I am using the Time Capsule as my main WLAN router and for backup. Reproducible, the MacBook (with OSX 10.5.6, all Airport updates applied; TimeCapsule with most recent firmware update 4.7.1) corrupts the TimeCapsule connection when waking up from sleep. Whenever the MacBook wakes up from sleep, it tries to (re-) connect to my wireless network. The airport sign in the menu bar changes from light grey bars to dark bars and the connection time counter appears next to it; but just a second later the counter disappears again, although the Airport signal bars are staying black. The result is that there's no wireless connectivity anymore; even the Airport admin software cannot find the TimeCapsule anymore. Furthermore, all other Macs (I have an additional iMac) loose there connections as well. Only thing that helps here is to restart the TimeCapsule (by disconnecting the power cord). After that, both MacBook and iMac can access the TimeCapsule again and everything works as normal.
This whole scenario can completely be reproduced and only happens when the MacBook tries to (re-) establish its Internet connection after wake-up from sleep. When I shut down the MacBook and boot normally, the MacBook connects without any problems.
After several hours of finding a solution, I've called Apple Support - and they told me that this is a *known bug*, but they currently have *no solution* for it. According to the Apple Support guy, I was not the first to report this problem (which was somehow a relief, but on the other hand a surprise as I haven't found similar problem descriptions on Mac forums yet), but they couldn't tell when and how the problem will be fixed. (Of course, they also recommended applying the most recent software updates (which I had) and resetting PRAM (which I did) - without any success.)
As now I got the impression that this is a bug with the current Late 2008 MacBook (it has a Broadcom BCM43xx based Airport Extreme Card) which I cannot solve myself, I looked at least for a workaround. I realised that this error doesn't occur when I turn Airport off before sending the MacBook to sleep, and activating it some safe time after waking up again. With the great resources at macosxhints.com, I found a small program called "Sleepwatcher" and a scripting addition called "XNetwork". Sleepwatcher runs as a demon in the background and can execute small tasks before a Mac goes to sleep and after it wakes up. XNetwork allows you to turn on and off Airport from within AppleScript (or the OpenScript Architecture). Now I use Sleepwatcher to turn off Airport just before my MacBook goes to sleep, and use it as well to (re-) activate Airport with a safe delay of 10 seconds after my MacBook wakes up again.
As of now, this works just fine (and as it should right out of the box...) - so I can wait more relaxed until Apple comes up with a real solution for this problem!
Sorry, this has become quite a long post - but maybe it is helpful for anyone.
Cheers,
Mark

I believe this was the problem I was experiencing at first, but it is now worse!
TC works fine EXCEPT for the AirPort feature when also using AirPort on my MacBook (late 2008, Unibody).
At first it seemed random, but I can now reproduce the problem at will. The TC stops working and the light goes solid amber or even no light at all sometimes.
The scenario is the following:
TC works fine, I have an iBook G4 connected via ethernet and can surf the web; iPod touch (1st gen) can surf the web as well; everyone's happy. Turn on the MacBook with AirPort on, TC stops working; light goes amber or sometimes stays solid green (I configured it to flash on activity) or completely off. iBook and iPod can't surf the web. AirPort Utility does not even see the TC (hit Rescan many times, no luck). Restart TC by unplugging, waiting 20 seconds or so, plug it back, light is solid amber; AirPort Utility still does not see the TC. Repeat this a few times, waiting in between, no success. Turn off AirPort on the MacBook, unplug and plug the TC, it is now working in less than 30 seconds. iBook and iPod can surf the web; connect the MacBook via ethernet to the TC, everyone is still happy. Turn on AirPort on the MacBook, TC stops working. You get the picture. It has been 2 days now where I can reproduce this constantly.
I have an AirPort Express that I use to stream music, which extends the TC. My DSL modem/router is in bridge mode where the TC connects via PPPoE. My configuration has been the same for almost 2 years problem free. I reset the modem too but the above scenario still applies.
I did a hard reset of the TC by holding the reset button at the back until the light flashed amber rapidly. I re-entered all the configuration again, but still no luck.
I re-installed OS X 10.5.7, no luck. The firmware on the TC is 7.4.1 (74100.25). The AirPort card on the MacBook is listed as Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (5.10.38.35)
I set the log level to debug on the time capsule and entered the IP address of the iBook (which is connected via ethernet), but I could not find anything in the system.log or other logs via the Console application.
When the TC is working and I then turn on AirPort on the MacBook, this is the last entries from the logs on the TC:
Jun 11 20:20:12 Severity:5 Clock synchronized to network time server time.apple.com (adjusted +1 seconds).

(Severity 5 is 'Notice', 7 is 'Debug')
I turned on AirPort on the MacBook at 20:29 and then nothing after those few lines; in this last case, the TC light was solid green but the iBook or iPod could not surf the web (it was flashing green with activity just before as I opened a web page on the iBook).
Still no solutions as of yet...

How can I create a guest network on an airport extreme that connects wirelessly with a Timecapsule

I have a Timecapsule in one place of our house, that is connected to Internet. I need to extend the range of my network: 1. my private network needs to get to a remote location to make connection with speakers (Itunes). for this I need to first extend the range of my private network, because the speakers are too far away from the TC. 2. I need to set up a guest network, but at quite some distance from my TC, in an other part of the house, too far away from the TC (so a guest network on the TC won't do).
For this, upon advice from an apple store, I bought an airport extreme, which I have placed on a location where it can connect to the TC, to extend the private network. On the location of the speakers, I have an aiport express (connecting to the extreme), to play music from Itunes. The setup at this moment is: TC makes connection to internet, and broadcasts a private network. Extreme connects to this private network, and broadcasts it further to the Airport express, that captures it and plays the music. I would now like to create a guest network on the Airport Extreme, while this Extreme keeps on connecting to the private network of the TC and keeps on broadcasting it to the Express. Is this possible? How can I do this? Thanks for the help !

I would now like to create a guest network on the Airport Extreme, while this Extreme keeps on connecting to the private network of the TC and keeps on broadcasting it to the Express. Is this possible?
Unfortunately, the "main" router...your TC in this case....is the only device that can create a Guest Network, assuming that the TC is connected to a simple modem.
Unfortunately again, the Guest Network cannot be extended. Your only real option here is to create a Guest Network on the TC and hope that it will have sufficient coverage for your needs.

Problem connecting to the server Timecapsule

I am working with a Motora Surfboard SBG6580 Cable Modem going to my 4th Gen Airport Extreme, then a wireless bridge to my 3rd Gen 2 Gig TimeCapsule to extend the network, then using ethernet cables to TV, DVD and MacMini. When trying to run a backup with Time Machine, or just using it as a hardrive, I keep getting the error message "There was a problem connecting to the server "Timecapsule" - The server may not exist or is unavalable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again." I have seen a lot of posts on this problem, but I still don't understand what the issue or resolution is.
I have tried resetting the TimeCapsule, connecting the TimeCapuse with an ethernet cable, turning off wireless functions, wiped the drive and zero'd all data, etc., but with the same results. I may be wrong, but this all seems to have started when I ran MATCH while using the TimeCapsule as a storage device for all my iTunes media - it corrupted all my data and showed my disk as full, though pretty much everything on the disk was missing. All was working fine until that point.
Any help would be nice. Help!!
Thanks in advance

If you have backed up to 77GB or something then a backup has indeed been made.. On the TC there will be a sparse bundle and backup which can be mounted.. You cannot check the disk.. you check the sparse bundle.. which can be mounted.
Please do the following.
Disconnect and remove the TC from the network.
Plug it directly into the computer by ethernet. No other connection to the TC.. turn off wireless and every other connection to the computer..
If you still have issues.. press reset and redo the setup of the TC again.
Run Time Machine and see if it works. If it doesn't work now you have serious issues.. I would guess at a faulty disk somewhere.
What OS is on the computer? From the first post you use SL still.
I would also take the firmware of the TC back to 7.5.2 as I mentioned and do full factory reset this time.. ie hold in reset and then power on.. continue holding in reset until led flashes rapidly.

Check your Firewall Settings, Did you Enable File and Printer Sharing ?

Recurring "connection failed" when selecting TimeCapsule in the sidebar (internet connection works fine). Clicking "Connect As" starts the cyle over again but ends in "There was a problem connection to the server" message. Only fix is resetting TC.
The TC is the wifi base station, also have AirportExpress on the network, both of which work fine. The TC has an external disc connected as well, which is also visible in the sidebar but also cannot be connected to. Several MB computers use the network, all of which either can or cannot connect to the TC disc depending on when it is acting up.
Any ideas other than clicking "connect as" or powering down the network every time?

Read up how to install 5.6 utility into ML.. it is pretty easy.
I downloaded 5.6
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Download unpkg
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Open the dmg to get the pkg.. drag it onto unpkg.. and it will create a directory under desktop with all the files.. drag the application to the utility directory.. or just run it direct.
Google if you want more explicit instructions.
Much easier with a real tool instead of a toy.
Hold the option key when you select firmware update.. all the old ones will appear.
But this will not work on newer Gen4.. only on every other model and early Gen4. .I do not know when they turned the corner and started this only 7.6 nonsense.

My battery died and then when i charged the phone it is asking me to connect to itunes and restore. if i restore how can i get my data back

My iphone battery died and on charging the phone it asked me to connect to itunes and restore the phone.
If i restore the phone how can i get my data back and how can i check when i last backed up my phone

If you have been syncing regularly as the iphone is designed, then you can sync the data back.
Regardless you will have to restore the iphone.

Connection between O and BP is missing

Hi,
When i check inconsistency for a user, i am getting " Connection between "O" and "BP" is missing. When i check the Org.unit in PPOSA_BBP, i could see no BP exists for that Org.unit where user is assigned. I have replicated the org.unit from HR system but yet the BP hasnt been generated. Can you please share your idea on this.
Regards,
Prasath J

Hi Prasath,
This might be because you need to assign the user to a Purchasing Organisation or a Purchasing Group. If the user do not have BP created then you can do this by using tcode USERS_GEN.
Go to USERS_GEN and follow below steps :
1. Select Create User From Existing SU01 user
2. Enter the org id of the POrg or Pgroup under which you want to assign the user
3. Select country and execute
4. In next window one popup will occur, select Area Of User
5. In next popup enter the user id
6. Next select the user and click Ok.
7. This will create a BP and CP for the user and assigns the BP to the Org id of the POrg or Pgroup.
8. Now check the consistency of the user it will show all green.
It might give you error like eMail id for BP XXXXX is missing if the SU01 profile of the user does not contain any user id but it is not critical.
You can open the BP in BP tcode and enter the email id of the user.
Let us know if it solves your issue.
Regards,
Mayur

My husband and I are using the same iTunes account on all mac & pc computers, but the libraries are different on each machine. We always manually manage our music (no auto sync). iTunes is up to date on the PCs. My husband uses our joint iTunes account on his pc, but once again, has a different collection in his library from those on the other machines. He can't load any music from his PC to his iphone 4. I can load music from my mac library to my iphone 4s, but cannot load from my pc library to my iphone 4s. How can I switch my main library that it syncs with from the mac to the pc?
Thanks
