Connectivity issue with iPhone 3GS and Time capsule 7.6.1

I've upgraded the firmware of my Time Capsule. Now i have WiFi connectivity problems with my iPhone 3GS. My iMac and two iPads (version 1 & 2) are doing fine.
Very strange in this situation is when I at a rare moments are able to connect my iphone to the wifi my iPad2 connection falls out. But after a minute or 2 the system disconnects my iphone and reconnect my ipad.
For info: I'm using an iMac 27" 3.4 Intel Core i7 with Mac OS 10.7.3 - all software is updated.
Thanks for reaction

The iphone is very sensitive to channel selection..
Open the airport utility manual settings.. Go to the wireless.. change its name to something simple without spaces.. TC24 would do nicely.
Set the wireless to b/g a/n so it works with everything .. not auto.
And set the channels manually.. 2.4ghz (which iphone uses) set channel to either 1, 6, 11.. these are the only channels that do not overlap..
Try and see if the iphone connects..
Set security.. WPA2 personal and put in a suitable key.. pure alphanumeric no spaces.

  • Anyone noted Bluetooth connection issues with iPhone 4s and Ford sync?

    My wifes iPhone 4 with IOS 5.0.1 auto connects to Ford Sync at least 75% of the time on first attempt. My new iPhone 4S with IOS 5.0.1 takes 4-5 attempts and rarely if ever connects without multiple attempts. Any one else seeing issues with failed Bluetooth connections with iPhone 4S phones?

    Look at the right panel for links to other threads concerning problems with Fords. And it's not just Fords, cars in general.  No solutions seem to be given.

  • Music issues with iphone 3gs and itunes

    I deleted a song from my library and computer but it wasn't removed from my iPhone 3GS, how do I get rid of it? I only have IOS 4.3.2 and don't want to download IOS 6 or jailbreak my iPhone. In addition, it was a ringtone that I downloaded and it isn't functionalling properly, but it also appears in my normal music among the other songs. I need to delete the song from both my ringtones and my songs, please help.

    Nevermind, I got it to work. I was trying it on a DRM protected file. Doing it with a non-DRM protected file worked fine and it showed up in the "Custom" section of the Ringtone page.
    If the ringtone file you purchased does not show up as a ringtone and you see it as a music file instead, you should be able to use a utility to strip the DRM info and then convert it into a ringtone (plenty of tutorials for doing this around the intertubes).

  • Is there a fix for the connectivity problems with iPhone 5S and ISO 7.0.2?

    I am having problems connecting the BT Audio and the handsfree phone connectyion is unreliable in 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer XL.
    All worked OK with ISO 6.

    Hello CraigNicholson
    You would need to sync with iTunes to get that process to work for you. Check out the article below for more information on how to resolve that issue to get the proper token to use Push Notifications again.

  • Trouble with Airport Extreme and Time Capsule

    Just got a new 2TB time capsule and added it to my network (existing Airport Express and Airport Extreme).  All devices are hard-wire back-hauled to Linksys router.  Set up was straight forward with no issues and initiated a time capsule back up without a problem.  Within hours I noticed that the TC was no longer reachable in Finder.. Opening the AirPort utility, I saw that both the Extreme and the TC were "lost".  Still had (green) internet connectivity, but the base stations were showing as off-line in the Airport utility.
    Tried rebooting and checking from multiple other devices and no luck.  Occasionally will find them both on-line in Airport utility, but seem to lose one (usually TC) after a short period.  All are running the most up to date version of firmware (7.7.3).  Prior to installing the TC, I had experienced 0 issues with Airport Express and Extreme.
    Has anyone else seen similar issues?  Are there settings that need to be accounted for in some way to avoid these frustrating "lost devices"?
    thanks

    Thank you for your quick answer, smorkerz. However, I did it and it doesn't work.
    I tried to check separately the time capsule and the airport extreme, switching one off when using the other one. The result is that each one works alone but when I use them both, just time capsule appears, works well, and I can't use the airport to print for instance.
    Do you understand anything ?

  • Replacing macbook with iPad 3 and time capsule

    ive been looking at an ipad for some time and am wondering if i could replace my macbook with it and a timecapsule. i need to be able to sync my iphone etc or will i still need the macbook? i have searched and found a thread from march last year but that refered to the ipad2, it said it couldnt be done but im wondering if this has changed on ipad 3.
    paul

    You cannot backup an iPad or an iPhone to a Time Capsule because there is no Time Machine for either one. You can only back them up to iCloud provided you have a wireless connection.
    And, an iPad is not a computer. It cannot do everything the computer can do. It's intended to supplement the computer not replace it.

  • Conflicts with Airport Express and Time Capsule

    I am using Airport Express and Time Capsule at the same time. Connection to the web is via a router. Very often I do have conflicts. How shall I connect the gadgets? At the moment I connect the router to Airport Express (network cable).
    Time machine back up doesn't work properly.
    Is there anybody able to help me?
    Regards

    What broadband type do you have?
    It can be impossible to plug a TC into the existing connection because the virgin media router has special setup or logins which are not revealed to end users.
    If it is a fibre connection for instance the TC may simply not work. They have issues with many fibre ISP putting the gateway address outside the subnet of the main public IP.. (don't worry if it is too technical .. it amounts to .. it don't work! )
    You may need to wait until Sat.

  • Cisco router RVS4000 with Airport extrem and Time capsule.

    Problem droping connection to internet when is Time capsule in extended wifi mode. When I turn off wifi on time capsule Airport extreme work fine.
    Airport extreme and Time capsule is conected via ETH.
    Any idea ?

    If you use ethernet to connect the AE and TC .. you must NOT extend wifi.. you use Create a wireless network. And setup with same name and security. You are using roaming network.. not extended wireless.. if you want to use extended wireless no ethernet

  • Extending wifi with airport express and time capsule

    Hi All
    I'm new to macs and moving over in a big way!
    I started with a time capsule and all was fine apart from the coverage in the house.
    It seemed easy to extend the wifi so purchased an AE 802.11n and extended the network.
    It does extend and I can connect to the internet but the network is now really really slow and the time capsule backup wont work.
    connection is :
    Ethernet modem - Airport express ( as its close to my audio equipment ) - extended WIFI conection via 802.11n.
    Any suggestions? why is it so slow?
    Im at 7.3.1 firmware on both AE and time capsule and the Macbook pro is at 10.5.3.
    Any suggestions?

    I've managed to change the 5gHz of ther Airport Express that's extending the network.
    As mentioned, main AE is on channel 48, and I now have the 2nd AE on channel 36 - which means my TV can now see the network. Also tested speed via my mavbook air on the same 5gHz network as it all seems OK (A while ago I spotted my Time Capsule was on the same channel 48 as main AE and throughput was abysmal! Bad enough to make me reset the TC to factory defaults and setup again - which is when the TC got channel 120).
    Anyway, the fix... I changed the 2nd AE to create a wireless network (instead of extend), and manually set the channel to 36. I then set it back to extend, and it seems to have kept channel 36.

  • Sharing an internet connection with Airport express and Time Capsule

    Hi, I have been happily using a cable modem and a Time Capsule for my internet connection and wireless network. We recently added solar panels to our roof and the system needs to be connected to the internet so it can be monitored remotely. Calling Comcast is an exercise in frustration, and the solar people don't seem to know exactly how to do it, so I'm trying this.
    We bought an Airport Express, thinking if it is connected with an ethernet cable to the solar system, it could somehow share the internet connection with the Time Capsule, or they could talk to each other. When I plug in the Airport Express, the only set-up option seems to be to set up a new network, which I don't think I want to do. Can anyone tell me how to set this up? Thank you!

    Hi, Under Water.
    You should configure the Express to "Join a wireless network" or to "Extend a wireless network". (Either one will work.)
    Connect your computer to your Express via Ethernet and open AirPort Utility. Press "Manual Setup" and authenticate if necessary.
    Go to the "Base Station" tab. Give the Express a name and password.
    Go to the "Wireless" tab. Set the Wireless mode to "Join a wireless network" or "Extend a wireless network." Enter the name of the wireless network created by your Time Capsule (or select it from the list). Check the box that says "Allow Ethernet clients" (if you're joining) or "Allow Wireless Clients" (if you're extending).
    Provide the appropriate security mode and password for the Time Capsule's network.
    Press "Update" and allow your Express to restart.
    Then you can plug the solar system into the Express's Ethernet port.

  • Apple TV buffering issues with iPhone 4s and iPad 2

    Hi all,
    I just got me an Apple TV 2nd gen (yeah, I know, ordered 2 days before the presentation of the new one). So far so good, the device is up and running, connects just fine to my Airport Express router and all.
    However, if I try to stream a video from my iPad (2) or my iPhone (4S), the results are quite horriffic. The iPad videos would buffer for a very long time before they start and then quite fast after that the buffering problems restart. It's pretty impossible to play a video fluently of more than 20 seconds. If I'd try from my iPhone it's even worse with videos being 1080p, the thing just never plays, eventually the preloading process stops on the mirroring mode is cut.
    I have to point out, all my devices are in the same room (WiFi) so the signal is the best it can be.
    This is honestly quite surprising AND disappointing to be honest, given I bought the device mostly for that, so I can stream videos from my phone and pad.
    Tell me, am I doing something wrong, or the video streaming over those devices is just a marketing gimmick with nothing real behind it?
    Would it matter if I change my router from Airport express to Airport extreme?
    Thanks!

    I have the same issue with ATV3 and iPhone 4S. Everything works properly, no buffering issues when watching netflix, vimeo, youtube BUT when I try mirroring even a small 15sec iPhone movie it stutters and buffers and results to a choppy playback..same with larger mp4 files such as 1-1.5GB, buffers forever and never plays, I just re-encoded the same movie to 700MB and plays perfectly..
    Why Apple, why?..so close..I can accept the bigger movie files issue, but not being able to playback properly an iPhone movie is funny..I recorded a movie with lower bitrate through Filmic Pro (Economy mode, up to 16Mbps)
    and plays properly.
    Is there an upcoming software update going to solve the problem or is it hardware related and therefore not fixable.
    Please don't reply with a network related answer, by 2012 we know how to set up our networks and everything else runs flawlessly.
    I'll apreciate a fast answer, we love Apple, but if it can't play an iphone movie (or a high quality movie from iTunes) it's just not up to my standards.
    Thanks again.

  • Ios 7 wifi issues with iphone 5 and iphone 4s

    I downloaded and installed ios 7 on 3 iphones and an ipad on Thursday. initially after install all devices wouldn't connect to my homes wifi (but other devices in the home are connected and can access the internet with no issue)  I rebooted each device and was able to connect problem soved. WRONG  this has been an on going issue, most of the time my devices wont even see my wifi network and when they do, I still can't connect.  I have reset wifi settings, I have double checked passwords, I have rebooted the IOS devices and rebooted the router (which was likely not needed as my 2 apple tv's, windows 7 laptop, windows 8 laptop and 2 imacs all are connected with no problem as wel as my ps3, and sony smart tv. 
    So, 1) is anyone else experiencing this issue 2) have you found a way to resolve the issue 3) has anyone gotten a response from apple support i.e. is this s known issue and are they working on an update to resolve.
    I guess my gut instinct to wait a few weeks to install ios was right and I should have listened to my gut 
    Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

    I agree, Bluetooth is rubbish since 4.2 The phone won't connect properly with my carkit Parrot ck3000 evolution, when the iPhone 4 connects to the the carkit it resets the volume on the carkit to minimum volume. so every time you get in the car you have to manually set the volume!. fix this Apple and when your at it fix the wifi reception on it too its woeful! For all the mouthing Apple does on their features on the phone, it's pretty weak as a phone!

  • Connecting iMac with iPhone 3GS

    I'm having trouble getting my iMac to connect with my iPhone 3GS. Neither will even recognize the other. Can someone help?
    Thank you!

    Same problem here with an iPhone 3G and iMac and iBook.
    Not living in US I am indeed able to Tethering Internet with Bluetooth. At least I suppose, because my iPhone asked for it few time but I never did it.
    I feel frustrating if the function of Bluetooth on an iPhone is locked to do that only.
    Then I would say Bluetooth is much more easy to use for a short document transfer (like a single picture) then Sync which has anyway an other goal.
    I find the Sync function via iTunes far from satisfactorily. It still impossible a.e to choose a direction for the Sync function. In consequences, most of the time, some data will be erased though you want to keep it too.
    By putting unjustified limits Apple encourage the jailbreak.

  • How to extend wireless with airport express and time capsule

    So, I have a time capsule & because of the thick walls in my apartment, I can barely use my ipad and iphone at night in my bedroom! (my macbookPRO stays at 3 bars however!)
    I bought an airport express thinking I could plug it closer to or inside my bedroom to boost the signal - but it doesn't seem to work that way - any tips on how to set this up?
    TWO ADDITIONAL Qs:
    Does connecting directly to my time capsule (which i'm assuming i'd need another ethernet cable) help with the boost? (then negates the other great uses for the airport express it seems)
    Isn't there a way to do the boost with the express wirelessly? I'd really love to get wireless speakers, use airplay AND be able to use my devices just two rooms away ....   HELP!
    thanks so much (when did apple phone support start to be closed on Sundays?)
    cheers.

    Suggest that you check your setup again to make sure that the settings are correct on both the Time Capsule and AirPort Express.
    Open AirPort Utility, select the Time Capsule and click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
    Make sure that a check mark is entered next to "Allow this network to be extended".( If the box is not checked, the Time Capsule will not extend to the AirPort Express)
    Click Update to save your settings and close AirPort Utility
    Next, open AirPort Utility again, select the AirPort Express and click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab
    Settings should look like this:
    Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network
    Wireless Network Name = Same name as the Time Capsule network
    Check mark entered next to "Allow wireless clients"
    Wireless Security = Same setting as the Time Capsule
    Wireless Password = Same password as the Time Capsule network
    Confirm Password
    Update to save settings and close AirPort Utility
    Locate the AirPort Express approximately half way between the Time Capsule and area that needs more wireless coverage. You may need to experiment on placement to find the best compomise.
    Post back on your results.
