EMac no longer functions as a base station
I have an eMac just over a year old with an Airport card in it. I used to connect to it with my PowerBook as it was upstairs and closer than my Base Station downstairs. Even then I couldn't get mail, but I let it go. Recent updates knocked out my third party wireless card on my PowerBook and seemingly knocked out my eMac's Airport Extreme card all together. I bought an old Airport card for my Book, but my eMac is still up the creek without a paddle. I tried running Disk Permission Repair and it won't even do that now on the eMac.
Jeez, OS9 was so much easier to fix
Nogoodbyes,
Let's do a hardware reset on the player:
Press Snapshot button and Operational mode button simultaneously for more than two seconds this will delete all the files from the camera. A beep sound is heard when the memory is cleared and LCD displays zero.
This may get the camera working again.

My computer no longer recognises the Airport base station network
I presently have wireless broadband internet access on my iBook (using a Belkin wireless ethernet router connected by an ethernet cable to my airport.)
I also have an Airport Express in another room connected to my stereo for playing all my iTunes songs wirelessly.
The problem arose in that if i wanted to listen to my music I had to switch between networks, meaning i couldn't surf the net and listen to music at the same time.
A few nights ago I tried to 'merge' the networks using Airport set-up assistant (or admin utility, I forget which).
Now, my computer no longer recognises the Airport base station network, just the Express one.
Is there a way of listening to my music and using the internet at the same time, and how do I get my internet working again in the first place!
Many thanks

No longer seeing 802.11n base station
Hi,
I have a two-week old 17" MBP. I just reinstalled OS X (10.4.8 w/ all the latest updates) and I can no longer see my Airport Extreme base station when it is in "n only" mode.
I have reinstalled the "AirPortExtremeUpdate2007001.dmg" update a few times to no avail.
What do I have to do to re-enable the 802.11n functionality of the Airport Extreme card in my MBP?
Thanks!You might need to reinstall the N enabler which was on the CD that came with the base station. To see if you do go to
Applications --> Utilites --> Network Utility. Select the interface for the wireless and on the bottom it will say a/b/g/n. If it doesn't have the N on the end, then you need to reinstall.
If you already have the n there then you probably need to reset your base station -
Airport Utility doesn't see functioning Airport Extreme Base Station
I have an Extreme (n) Base Station which serves as a WDS main with one relay Express and one remote Express. All three are functioning properly. Now I want to add a second remote Express paired with the main Extreme. However, Airport Utility doesn't see the Extreme, even when hardwired. So I have no way to add in the Apple ID of the new remote.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this? Is it necessary to restore default settings on the Extreme and reconfigure EVERYTHING?
Thanks.Not yet. Hoping there is some other approach, since if I reset it and then it loses the connection before configuration is complete, I lose the functions that are working now.

Please help me connect eMac, cable modem, and Airport Extreme Base Station
I connected Ethernet cord from cable modem to Airport Extreme Base Station and then another Ethernet cord from Airport Extreme Base Station to eMac, but I could not get internet access on my eMac that way. I'm only getting internet access by directly connecting eMac to cable modem. Can someone please help me with a step by step explanation of how to set these 3 machines up so that I can have internet access on both my eMac and, wirelessly, on my new MacBook. Thank you very much in advance.

Ensure that you power off the cable modem for a minute or so when you switch it to another Ethernet device.
Ensure that you are connecting the WAN port of the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) to the cable modem. The eMac should connect to the LAN port.
The steps for setting this up can be found in the "Designing AirPort Networks" (direct PDF link) document. Look through that document and try to get it setup. Then return here if you have more questions. Don't forget to post what you tried and the issues you encountered. -
HELP: Airport Admin Utility no longer see's my Base Station
Recently someone tried to unsuccessfully connect to my network while I was away.
When I came home I could still connect to the internet but my network name was no longer visible and had been changed. I could still connect to the internet via Airport but my Airport Admin Utility would scan and not find my Base Station !
I have found that in my keychain "Airport Network Password" "System" I cannot get my password !!!!!
I have tried soft and hard reset of my base station to no avail.
Seems I have to reset my password but cannot !
I am at my wits end, can anyone helpHave you tried to change the channel no.?

Printer no longer recognized by Extreme Base Station
I have had my Epson Stylus Photo 900 connected to the base station and working for some time. I tried printing to it today and nothing happened. I ran the Printer Setup Utility and I get only two options: one to set up browser and one to set up IP printer, no option to choose Rendezvous and add the printer. If I attach the printer to my iMac I can run Epson utilities on it but can't print to it. I downloaded and reinstalled the printer driver and ran fix permission in the Disk utility. Appreciate your help. Thanks Rich
I had the same problem after my computer got infected (And I am running McAfee with the firewall!). The problem isn't your print driver, the problem is in your Windows operating system. Try to reload or repair Windows from your backup disk (hope you have one). It took three tries before i finally got the trojan eliminated and could reload Windows.

Installed firmware update, and can no longer connect to AE base station
I have an Airport Express base station and would like to connect to an existing wireless network.
I first attempted to change the AE base station to "client mode" in Admin Utility, but this option was grayed out.
I downloaded and successfully installed the latest version of the firmware, and I also did a factory restart. Now, Admin Utility recognizes the base station, but when I click "configure" and enter my password at the prompt, I get the following message:
"An error occurred while trying to access the base station. Make sure your network connection Is valid and try again. Error code -4"
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!Try connecting your computer/laptop directly to the base station with an ethernet cable to one of the external ports and install your network settings. If it finds it there, it will find it after you've reloaded your network info to the base via the Apple Utility. Hopefully when you disconnect afterward, all will be fine. Be sure not to select "closed" network although Macs will login with no prolem, PC's have trouble doing so even with the network data stored in the internet settings.
Good luck! -
Can no longer access Graphite Base Station, Please help
For no apparent reason, my DP 800,10.4.11 can no longer access my Graphite Base Station. For years I have had no problems.
But this morning I lost access to my base station. I entered the PW as usual, but it did not allow access. I verified the PW in Keychain (and the base station name), but again I struck out. The machine is otherwise fine (or so it seems).
I have done the following, all unsuccessfully:
• Shut down with cold restart
• Zapped PRAM
• Safe Booted
• Created a new account/User
• Ran DiskWarrior
• Rebooted Base Station
• Reverted to a week old backup, still no joy.
I can successfully connect to the base station with my iMac, so I am certain the base station works.
I know nothing about this stuff, but it now seems the problem is with the Airport card inside the DP 800. Is this likely?
What if anything else can I do to either isolate the problem, or better yet, fix the problem?Some things to try:
Create a new Location in System Preferences > Network. (Start from scratch; don't do it by modifying an existing Location.)
Turn off WEP encryption on the base station.
Physically move the base station and/or computer to overcome possible wireless interference in the original position. (Note: the base station does not need to be connected to the Internet while you test wireless connectivity.) You can also try enabling Interference Robustness (on both the computer and base station) and changing the wireless channel.
See whether the DP 800 can connect to a different wireless network.
I'm somewhat surprised you say you entered the password "as usual." Under the typical settings, your computer would remember your network and its password and join it automatically. (I know you haven't declined to store the password in the Keychain.) Moreover, your reference to the "base station name" strikes me as odd, as you do not need to know the base station name in order to connect to the network. Did you mean the wireless network name? Or might the password you have been entering be the base station password, instead of the wireless network password? -
Hi. In November I set up my airport extreme base station (5th generation I believe) to wirelessly extend the wifi network we use at home to see if it would increase download speeds. Before doing that, I did a factory reset of my airport extreme, and the owner of the airport extreme to which the ethernet cable is attached made changes to his network to allow it to be extended. I folllowed all the directions from the apple support pages, and finally got it to work. I could even access a portable hard drive which I attached to the airport extreme base station being used as the extension. Then a week or so ago I noticed that my laptop would no longer connect to my base station. I did not have time to look into it until this week. Airport utility, either on my Mac or iphone no longer recognizes my base station. My mac is running OS X 10.10.1 and my iPhone is running iOS 8.1.2 I have tried both hard, soft and factory resets of my base station to no avail. The only thing that has changed after doing that, is that when I do a soft reset of my base station, a neighbors airport express appears when it never did before. I can't actually connect to it, but it does try. Then after approximately 5 minutes, it disappears from my list.
Today I went and pulled out my OLD AIRPORT EXTREME base station... you know, the one that looks like a space ship and is running wifi 802.1 b/c? airport utility DOES locate and display that, but airport utility returns a message stating that it cannot be set up by this software. I am attaching an image of that.
Thank you,
John
Does this have anything to do with the fact that 'Back to My Mac' is probably enabled?I think the initial problem is that your iPhone was connected to an open network that wasn't yours.
Go to Settings > WiFi and "Forget" the network created by that AirPort Extreme, it's older than dirt. Forget your neighbor's network also.
Perform the equivalent actions with your Mac: System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced... Delete every network that appears, including your own.
Then, connect to your own network on all your devices, after which you ought to be able to use any of them and configure your Extreme without any difficulty. You may need to start over with a "hard reset" on both the main AirPort Extreme and the one extending its network.
Does this have anything to do with the fact that 'Back to My Mac' is probably enabled?
Not exactly, but using iCloud Keychain will populate all your devices with the names of preferred networks that any of them connect to, no matter where they are. I don't know why Apple considers that a beneficial feature. -
Airport Base Station No Longer Found in Network
Since applying the 10.5.2 upgrade yesterday my home network, routed via a cable modem and a formerly dependable original Airport Base Station, is no longer recognized by Airport Utility... and the Airport icon in the finder is continually scanning. I have found, however, that my network shows up as an available option in Network System Preferences...with a Connected status and an IP address (10.0.1.3).
I can connect to the internet and read email from my main iMac because I am also connected directly via ethernet, but my laptop can't find the Airport base station, either. I have reset, unplugged, restarted, check connections and cables, etc. Both Macs easily find my Airport Express, however. I'm concerned the new update no longer supports the original base station...
On another (unrelated?) note, my external backup HD (250GB Seagate), connected by Firewire, is now recognized as "Read Only," whereas it has always had read/write permission (confirmed in Get Info). So now my backup is failing, too. Sorry to introduce a new topic, but I'm frustrated!Firmware is uploaded onto the base station itself and is different from AirPort Utility. Although you probably cannot confirm it without connecting to the base station, I think it highly unlikely that you use a firmware version earlier than 6.1.1 (which came out in 2004). If newer firmware is contained in software on your computer, AirPort Admin Utility and/or AirPort Utility should have prompted you to upload it to the base station, whereas if it is not on your computer, Software Update (assuming you use it) should have prompted you to obtain it. Even if your firmware is older than version 6.1.1, the reset procedure is virtually the same--in that case, you won't see the AX's status LED flashing rapidly a few seconds after you start holding the reset button, and you will just need to hold the reset button for 10 full seconds.
Once you connect to the base station, you should be able to see the firmware version (e.g., "Base Station Vx.x" where x.x is the firmware version) on the opening screen of AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow, when the base station is highlighted. I imagine that AirPort Utility shows similar information. I believe that in AirPort Utility, you can also check to see if newer firmware is available from Apple (choose "Check for Updates" in the AirPort Utility menu). To the best of my knowledge, the most current firmware version for AirPort Express is 6.3. -
Graphite base station not working with my Intel Based Mac Mini and iPhone.
My Airport Express died after 2 years of use. I had to resort to plugging in my old but still functioning Graphite Airport base station. Since the set up assisant on my Mac mini does not work with the older base station, I used my G4 400 tower to set it up. I got it working and tested the connection. On to testing my iPhone. It sees the new network. Password is entered and the wifi icon shows full signal strength, but does not connect to the web. Next I try my Mac mini out on the new network and it too sees the network, but does not connect to the web. I double check the older G4 and the connection is still strong and fast. I shut the G4 down thinking that maybe the Graphite can only support one computer at a time, and the Mac mini and iPhone still can't connect to the web. I'm not sure what to do with this one. Is there a setting that I need to use? As far as security goes, the Graphite base station was set up with a WEP password. Any help would be great
Message was edited by: SorianoI suggest using AirPort Admin Utility (version 4.2) to check the base station settings and change them, if necessary. (AirPort Admin Utility should be able to configure a Graphite base station from a computer running Mac OS X 10.4, even though AirPort Setup Assistant can't.)
In the Network pane of AirPort Admin Utility, please make sure that "Distribute IP addresses" and "Share a single IP address (using DHCP and NAT)" are checked, and that everything else is unchecked. I am assuming that the Graphite is the only router in your local network and that there are no computers connected via Ethernet.
The Access Control pane of AirPort Admin Utility should list either all of the relevant AirPort ID's or nothing. You can find the AirPort ID of an OS X computer by looking at System Preferences>Network>Show:AirPort>AirPort.
The Internet pane of AirPort Admin Utility should be set in accordance with your Internet provider's requirements. Most likely, it should be set to Connect Using:Ethernet and Configure:Using DHCP.
After verifying the settings, power down the computers, base station and cable or DSL modem for a few minutes, then start them up sequentially, leaving time for each to get fully up and running: first the modem, then the base station, and finally the computers.
The network preferences on the Mac Mini and the iPhone are also relevant. I assume that the preferences are unchanged from those that worked with the AirPort Express.
I hope this helps. -
My airport utility can't find my airport base station
My AirPort Express stopped working! It keeps flashing the amber status light. I tried finding the problem with airport utility but airport utility can no longer find my airport base station. I did a hard reset but I am not sure what to do now.????
Suggest that you try the following:
1) Reset the cable modem. There is a reset button on the back or bottom of the device. Check your documentation for the modem for exact details. In general, you press the reset button for a few seconds and then power down the modem completely.
That means pulling the power plug from the back of the modem or the AC wall plug
Leave the modem powered off at least 30 minutes
2) Perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme using the instructions in this document
Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ
3) Then power off the AirPort Extreme
After 30 minutes.....
4) Connect the Ethernet cable from the cable modem to the WAN port (circle icon) on the AirPort Extreme
5) Temporarily, connect another spare Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme
7) Power up the modem and let it run for 5 minutes by itself
8) Power up the AirPort Extreme the same way
At this point, the AirPort Extreme should be slowly blinking amber
9) Open AirPort Utility (I assume that you have AirPort Utility 6.0) and click on Other Base Stations, then click on the Base Station xxxxxxx representing your AirPort Extreme to start the setup process
AirPort Utility should suggest that you configure the AirPort Extreme to "Create a wireless network". Accept that option and enter the required wireless network name that you want and passwords
Follow any more prompts as required and AirPort Utility should configure the device for you
Wait 25-30 seconds for a green light
10) Disconnect the temporary Ethernet cable from your Mac to the AirPort Extreme
11) Log on to the wireless network that you named during the setup process
12) Report on your results -
WPA2 - Webcam - Base Station - Remote Base Station ... How ?
My Webcam is plugged into my Remote Base Station and uploads images over my WDS network to my Base Station perfectly ... and I can use my browser to access the Webcam's Control Panel - until I enable Wireless Security!
Once Wireless Security is enabled on my Base Station and I have updated my WDS settings on the Remote Base Station, my browser can no longer access the Webcam and the camera's images are no longer transmitted to my Base Station.
The type of Security makes no difference. I've had no luck with either WEP and WPA2.
The only type of Security that allows the camera to use the WDS network is no Security!!
Question:
After I have enabled Wireless Security on the Base Station, does the Remote Base Station's Wireless Security also have to be enabled ?
---alanFrom the Camera Manufacturer:
"Hi Alan,
I'm not sure what is causing this. The camera doesn't know about the wireless. Any encryption is between the client and the base. Devices connected to the client should not be affected."
Well - Thanks to that helpful tip, I have eventually determined that the correct procedure is:
Step 1: Apply the encryption to the Remote Base Station that has the Netcam connected to it.
Step 2. Apply the same encryption & password to the Main Base Station ... the one with Internet via Ethernet.
Step 3. Rejoin my now 'closed' Network by selecting "Other" from the Airport menu in the Menu Bar.
Step 4. Select the Network name from that popup menu
Step 5. Enter my new WPA2 Personal Password.
Success!!

Base station and internal card
I have a G4 quicksilver running Panther. It has the older ('g'?) series airport card. Hooked up an airport express to the stereo and it worked just fine. Decided to hook up an airport extreme base station. Had to specify a different 'network addressing' for the EXPRESS when configuring the airport admin Utility. Otherwise, (if the address was the same as the EXTREME base station) it would say that the remote (EXPRESS) speakers were in use by someone else. Then, upon restart, the speaker choice option would completely dissapear from the I-Tunes panel. It seams using the old AIRPORT (INTERNAL) CARD along with the EXTREME base station is redundant. Is it? If so, how can I set up I-Tunes to work through the extreme base station and communicate with the EXPRESS connected to the remote stereo? Thanks, JIm
If all you want to do with your wireless network is stream iTunes from the Mac to the Airport Express, there is no need for you to set up an Airport Base Station. It would serve no useful purpose.
On the other hand, if you wanted to wirelessly access a cable or DSL internet connection cabled to the Base Station while at the same time wirelessly streaming iTunes to the Airport Express what you should do is:
(a) use the Airport Setup Assistant to configure the Airport Base Station to function as a "base station". Unplug the Airport Express from power while you do this first step.
(b) plug the Airport Express into power. Then run the Airport Setup Assistant again, and use its guidance to configure the Airport Express so that it "joins" the existing wireless network created by the Airport Base Station.
You will then have a single wireless network based on the Airport Base Station, and by connecting to the Base Station's wireless network you will also be able to communicate with the Airport Express at the same time.
