Express to modem issue.

I'm setting up a friend who is a recent converter to MAC.
Comcast three in one modem phone/tv-cable/internet.
I plug the modem to the express. and then I check it on her laptop. I'm communicating wirelessly just fine from macbook to express. updated the software and everything.
But it wont go online. I've called comcast. They say its an apple thing.. lol (dont they always). lol.
Anyways any info would be great.
Side note: The internet works fine when plugged from the macbook right to the modem via ethernet cable.
Thank you -Jeffg

I did do a full shutdown of the comcast box.
and still no connection but there is one thing i didnt do and that was pull out the backup battery on the comcast box.
it allows the box to function under a power loss. maybe i should try that. thank you

OSX 10.4.10/Apple USB Modem issue

Hi there:
3 weeks ago I bought a new imac and also an apple usb modem (since we only have dial up where I live).
I wasn't having a problem at all with connecting to the internet.
I am online virtually most of the day and, at night, I disconnect and put my computer to sleep.
Now every morning when I go to connect, it just says "connecting" endlessly, with no dial tone....YES, the phone line is working.
It does nothing to disconnect the phone line, the modem etc.
If you click "disconnect" it just says "disconnecting" endlessly.
I am forced to shut down the computer and reboot to make it stop and reset itself and then I can connect to the internet just fine.
The only thing I can think of that changed since when I first got the computer is that I upgraded to OSX 10.4.10.
Does anyone know if this is a 10.4.10 issue or a modem issue?
I posted this in the old hardware forum as well....
Help!
Thanks!

I don't know how much of a Mac background you have, so forgive me if I state the obvious. Before and after any upgrade you should be repairing permissions (in Disk Utilities). There are some AOL issues with this modem if you use that ISP. I am having a problem with my usb modem not dialing for sending a fax @ work until I uncheck "wait for dialtone" but I am dialing through a work phone system. I have not figured out how to make this the default setting. Since you have a new iMac, you should call Apple Support by your misbehaving phone line.
Good Luck

Time Capsule Airport Extreme Airport Express - IP Address Issues, Internet dropping...

I have a brand new Time Capsule 3TB functioning as my main wireless router from a Motorola SB6141 Cable Internet Modem. I have a Airport Extreme and Airport Express extending the network from my Time Capsule 3TB. After the intial setup there were no connection issues for several days. However, yesterday I began to experience issues where the Time Capsule starting telling me that other devices on the network were trying to assign IP Addresses to change from DHCPand NAT to Bridge Mode. What is the best solution for this? My temporary solution is just to do a hard reset of the SB6141 which seems to alleviate the issue until the next day. Please help!

There is definitely some issues with the SB6141 modem and the new AC version Extreme and TC.
I have recommended to several people to use a crossover cable or a small 10/100 switch.
Either is a very cheap item and I cannot promise a solution but it has helped.
Net time it happens please login with airport utility and take a few screenshots of the TC summary page and internet tab and post them here.

Airport express or modem?

I have a 2006 Macbook and a 3 or 4 year old airport express. I have Cox Communications as my internet provider. Recently, on two occassions, I have had to call Cox to send a signal to the modem but at the same time the airport utility box is saying I have problems with my router. I have unplugged the AE and the flashing amber light became green but seeing that this is a recurrant problem I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem before I call and spend $50 for tech support.Don't know where to begin looking for the problem.
Thanks for any advise.

Try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
Restart or log out then back in.
2. Move System Configuration Files
(Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
Go to /Library/Preferences
Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)
3. Run the Disk Utility to repair Disk Permissions.
Restart or log out then back in.
4. Turn off the Mac OS X Firewall
System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall
Click the "Stop" button.
5. Create a New User Account
System Preferences > Accounts
Click "+" to add a new account
Log off, then log back on with the new user account.
Try connecting with the AirPort.

Airport Express and DNS Issues

Recently I bought a Airport Express and i have been using it connected to a ADSL modem (modem is using PPPoE). Before that i used to have a D-Link wireless router connected to the modem, with no issues. Airport Express is working as bridge mode.
I was having trouble with my Macbook connecting some websites (with Windows computer it was ok), and I could solve it by adding DNS preferred addresses on System Preferences. Although it completely solved my home network problems, every time I go to a place where the preferred DNS is different, I have to exclude the addresses from System Preferences to internet to work fine.
Can anyone help me with that? Is it a Airport Express bug?
Thanks for any help.

That suggests to me that you're expecting the "ADSL modem" to perform router functions. Is it capable of that? What is the brand and model of that modem? If the modem can't perform router functions, your Express shouldn't be in bridge mode.

If something on your LAN is performing proper DHCP functions, that "something" should provide your MacBook with usable DNS addresses without your having to declare them manually.

Expression Filter Performance Issues / Misuse?

I'm currently evaluating the Expression Filter functionality for a new requirement. The basic idea of the requirement is that I have a logging table that I want to get "interesting" records from. The way I want to set it up is to exclude known, "uninteresting", records or record patterns.
So as far as an implementation I was considering a table of expressions that contained expression filter entries for the "uninteresting" records and checking this against my logging table using the EVALUATE operator and looking for a 0 result.
In my testing I wanted to return results where the EVALUTE operator is equal to 1 to see if my expressions are correct. In doing this I was experiencing significant performance issues. For example my test filter matches 72 rows out of 61657 possible entries. It took Oracle almost 10 minutes to evaluate this expression. I tried it with and without an Expression Filter index with no noticeable change in execution time. The test case and query is provided below.
Is this the right use case for Expression Filter? Am I misunderstanding how it works? What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
If you are already using the queries and are stable enough then rather than modifying query you can try other options to improve the query performance like data compression of the cube, creation of aggregates, placing cube on BIA or creating cache for the query.

SQL Server 2008 Express edition install issue.

Ok, i've been looking around forums for a while now and have not found a post similar to this one or one that offers a solution; so here it goes.
I'm trying to install management studio and in the web platform installer i keep getting this error:
"You must install visual C++ 2008 SP1 before you can install SQL server 2008 Express with tools"
I managed to get the install to "work", but it didn't actually install the studio app. So heres my questions:
Firstly...why? i've installed this before and not had any issues at all, so why the sudden need for C++?
Secondly, does anyone have any insight into my problem and how i cant actually install it?
The only real difference between this install and previous installs is that i'm not running it on vista home premium 64-bit (previously 32-bit).
I tried installing visual C++ express, but that didn't work.
Thank you in advance and for giving up your time to read this.

Hi,
Based on the error message, your computer has Visual C++ 2008 before you install SQL Server 2008. However, Visual Studio 2008 does not support having Visual Studio 2008 without a service pack. The error message indicates you to install Service Pack 1 for Visual C++. Please download Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 from the following link and install it:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=FBEE1648-7106-44A7-9649-6D9F6D58056E&displaylang=en
For more information, please refer to "Actions that are required before you install SQL Server 2008 on a computer that has Visual Studio 2008 or the prerelease version of SQL Server 2008 installed":

Time Capsule with BT Infinity modem issues

Hello all
I am attempting to set up my Time Capsule as the router and wifi, connected directly to the BT Infinity (UK based broadband provider) modem.
I have been using my MacBook Pro (mid 2010, Yosemite 10.10.1) and Airport Utility to configure the settings so far. I've managed to connect the TC and have created two wifi networks.
I have since been experiencing intermittent problems with the TC not appearing on the network, via AU on my MBP. However, when this does happen, the wifi seems to work OK. Can anyone explain why this might be so, and how to remedy this issue?
I have connected my Sonos ZonePlayer to the TC, but when the TC disconnects, the Sonos ZP then needs to be set up again.
I have also connected my Panasonic TX-50AX802 to the 2.4 network on my TC. This all worked fine at first, but then after the TC disconnected and wasn't available, the TV is unable to maintain a wi-fi connection. How might this issue be resolved?
I also have my iPhone 5s and iPad connected to the TC (both running iOS 8.1.1). These seem to be working OK. I haven't experienced any issues connecting with the TC via Airport Utility on my iPhone.
I would be grateful for any assistance with this as I have only a very limited understanding of the technical aspects of creating a network.
Thanks

In a word.
Yosemite
The fix is to use a better OS.. eg anything before Yosemite.
Sorry but Yosemite is bug filled and causes wireless issues.. take a quick look around this discussion.. 3 out of 4 issues will be yosemite since it came out.
On old laptop and especially if you upgrade installed.. then you really need to go back to earlier OS.. or at least clean install Yosemite and try again.
It can actually cause issues in combo with your iOS 8 due to the new handoff protocols which apple need to work a lot harder on fixing.

Turn off the computer.. reboot the TC.. do any other other devices have issues? Panasonic TV or Sonos?? if not the computer is the cause.
You might alleviate some of the worst effects by setting up the TC again.
Please use the following.
1. TC main name really short.. eg TCgenx (x actual number of the Gen if you like).
2. Set wireless names TC24ghz and TC5ghz.
3. Lock the wireless channels so they cannot change. eg use 13 or 11 for 2.4ghz
Use 100 for 5ghz.. but whatever works for you..
4. Test with no security.. briefly to make sure that all is working.
5. Set security as soon as you can.. WPA2 personal.. 8-20 character password no spaces.. no non-alphanumeric characters.. mixed case and numbers.

AP express without modem

Is it possible to set a 3rd gen AP Express to stream from an iPhone or iPad to an appleTV WITHOUT A MODEM INVOLVED.
IN OTHER WORDS USE IT EXCLUSIVELY AS A INTRANET DEVICE ?

I have my iPhone with the ap utility running and the ap express plugged in the iPhone says no ap base stations have been found and the ap express blinks orange.
You did perform a Hard Reset on the AirPort Express by holding in the reset button for 9-10 seconds, releasing, and allowing a full minute for the AirPort Express to restart, correct?
Using your iPad, please walk us through each step that you are taking to configure the Express.
What happens after each step?

Router / modem issues.....

Im looking to replace my modem / router with apple products. I need the modem / router to be in a central location but then have cables running to various rooms that I need a wireless signal to use ipad / iphone etc etc. what do i need?
Currently I have cables running from the existing modem/router down stairs to the 4 rooms with one of the rooms having a cisco 4 port expansion block for guest hard wired mac's.
any help is great as im a bit stuck as to what to do..... :-(
im also looking for the apple tv but not sure to get the 1 or 2??? ideas & why?

Actually, there is now an Apple TV 3. If you don't want to jailbreak or hack your Apple TV then buy the latest (3rd gen) Apple TV.
AirPort Express should work fine as an extender.

Airport express without modem

I am traveling and want to use my airport express airplay with a Bose Wave radio in a location with limited wireless. Do I need a wireless network to use airplay to my imac?

Hello Low77. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Can you set up a wireless network using Airport Express without a modem?
Yes. By default, the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) will create a stand-alone wireless network which you can connect up to 10 wireless clients for file or printer sharing.
Can I just plug in the ethernet cable on my desk to Airport Express for it to work?
You do not need to plug it into an Ethernet cable for it to work. However, if you require network or Internet access, the Ethernet cable needs to be connected to a network or have Internet access.

Modem issues solved with 10.4.8?

Hi all,
As the Apple USB modem users know, there was a serious issue with the IOUSB kernel in 10.4.7 that made the external Apple modem very unreliable. This issue was solved by downgrading that kernel to the 10.4.5 version. I've not done the 10.4.8 upgrade (mostly cause my MB is at the shop for RSD) but I don't want to mess with a perfectly working modem right now. Does anyone has tried the upgrade and found that the modem is working allright?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for this insight. I had the same symptoms as yours after installing 10.4.7. I couldn't maintain a connection.
My left USB port was malfunctoning. Apple's advice was to use the right one and wait for an update for this known issue. I did so for some weeks with relative success.
It seems that there is more than one way to lose a connection.
Just yesterday I experienced a panic, a disabling bout of conection failures and then "power management" problems. Those were resolved for the moment by reseting the power management and PRAM. 3 times.
Today I have developed a previously unknown to me "known issue" - booting to a gray screen. Video fails to mount? The PRAM must be reset at every start up.
Apple's advice is to upgrade to 10.4.8. I am trepidatious and hungry for reports from others with any of my sympoms and their experiences with 10.4.8.

Airport Express Ethernet Out Issue

I setup my AirPort Express N yesterday and everything is working fine except the Ethernet port. I've been trying to set it up to connect to an iMac with no airport card to the Internet. Followed the manual setup to join a wireless network and clicked the allow Ethernet clients but it still doesn't work.
I've tried resetting my comp and the main wireless router/modem. I have the Verizon fios modem/router combo. The light on the AE is green and I'm able to see it in Airport Utility.
Any ideas why the Ethernet port isn't working?

You did everything right and everything looks OK to me. It's not a self-assigned IP address and the DNS address is that of your router. That's OK too.
Make absolutely sure you're using a good Ethernet cable.
The only other thing I can think of is to factory reset the Express, connect it directly to your Mac's Ethernet port with an Ethernet cable known to be good, and turn off the Mac's wireless. That ensures the only way to communicate with it would be through the wired port.
If AirPort Utility sees it then Ethernet is OK and something else is wrong.
If not, it's definitely broken.

Slow internet: Mac Mini - Airport Express - 2Wire modem

I have SBC DSL, which came with a 2Wire wireless modem/router. I then bought an Airport Express and nicely networked a printer and two Windows XP Machine. The trouble started when I bought (ironically) a Mac Mini with a wireless (Airport Extreme?) ethernet card. The Mac has much slower download speeds! We're talking 150 kbps on the Mac, versus ~1 Mbps on the Win XP box.
I'm guessing there is a magic setting on the DSL modem which will help. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Morgan Brown

This problem lies with the Mac mini - there aren't any settings on the DSL modem that will fix this problem. I would start by having an Apple service center confirm the wireless interface in this Mac mini is performing properly (since it is still covered by the warranty).

Having serious Safar/2wire 2701HB modem issues!

I use AT&T as my service provider. Have 2wire modem, version 2701HB. I have my desktop and two laptops conected to it. At times it works great, but at least a dozen times an hour it won't load the webpage.
I'll be surfing without an issue and then Safari gives me the "you are not connected to the internet" message. The lights on the modem were all green, but once it happens the internet light goes black and the DSL will blink red. A minute or so later with all the lights solid green again on the modem, the webpage won't reload/refresh. I must go to different webpage to continue to surf.
The AT&T tech person did several tests and said that everything looks fine.
I called AT&T and the level 2 tech person had me deselect the "Packet Flood" in the advance setting mode in the modem's firewall. She said it was maybe causing the firewall to causing the "You are not connected to the interent" message. It didn't work. I downloaded the google plus browser and it hasn't hung up or not loaded a webpage for over an hour.
Any answers?

I had these same problems as well. Wish I had the 2Wire where I am now to give you exact instructions, but I figured out a solution that worked for my computer.
First, go into the Management Console of your 2Wire at the address: http://gateway.2wire.net/management
Now, in the Advanced tab, click Configure Services. Once you are there, de-check the boxes for all "notifications" about connections or the like.
Turning off those notices made my system work perfectly.
What is happening is that the 2Wire steals the IP or DNS address to the site you were at when it had a problem and will keep redirecting you to those error pages. Turning on/off your Airport often resolves that, but I'd go into the router settings and turn off those notifications.
Hope this helps.
