Extending Airport Extreme N with both new "N" and old "g" express

Hi,
Have an airport extreme 802.11n 4th generation connected to a cable modem on the 2nd floor. It is set to "Allow this network to be extended". Have a 1st generation express 802.11n on the 1st floor set up as "extend network" and connected via ethernet to a PS3. That set up has been working fine. Have a roku xd/s in another room on the second floor and it was connected via wireless, but recently have felt like the signal has been less than great. I have an old express 802.11g that I'm wanting to put in that room to "join the network" (is this the same as extend the network??) and then connect that via ethernet to the roku to make the signal more constant.
Right now, the roku isn't seeing the ethernet connection (it does see the wireless network), but the bedroom express is green and is shown as "normal" on airport utility. Any advice?
Thanks for your help.
Daniel

So in my "spare time" today (so much fun to spend entire days dealing with networking issues !!) I've been changing the channels on the extreme and then rescanning the roku. I've started with the 2.4ghz channels first and only made 1-7 so far...no improvements.
Using 5 GHz devices, if they are capable, will mitigate its effects since there are many more 5 GHz channels, and there are comparatively few devices capable of using them (a cursory search reveals only the Roku 2 XS supports 5 GHz).
Actually, I belive my Roku XD/S is in fact dual band (supports both 5ghz and 2.4 ghz). Once I finish the above exercise with the 2.4 spectrum...I'll try switching through the 5Ghz channels to see if that improves anything. My suspision is that this won't solve anything as the roku is open to "grab on" to whatever band it "feels" is better at any given time (for example when it trys to load content). I might be wrong.
However, I do wonder if I use the "separate 5Ghz network name option" on the extreme (currently un-checked) and then have the roku connect to this network in particular, then it will be forced to connect on the 5ghz channel and only then could I see if using 5ghz will help matters. Does this sound right?
If in fact this does work, does the network going by the original name become 2.4ghz only; and therefore I'll have to make this choice for all devices in house? Using the same line of thinking, would I also need to pick which of these 2 networks the 802.11n express is extending (I notice now that the express is set at channel 149 and I don't have the option to change that...presumably because its set to extend and the channel is set by the extreme.
I'm trying to fit the 802.11g into your network somehow, and I think the best possible use for your purposes would be to attach it to the Extreme using an Ethernet cable. This would create an additional 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g compatible access point. The longer the cable and farther away you could locate it from the Extreme or other Express, and the closer you can place it to the Roku, the more benefit it would convey.
Wired from extreme to 802.11g express is not feasible (except if they were sitting in the same room...which I think will do nothing for me.) If it is just placed in the same room as the roku and set to "join the network" broadcasted by the extreme, does this accomplish nothing?
Btw...I do use airtunes...but through the 802.11n express that is downstairs.

  • Extending Airport Extreme network with Airport Express using WDS

    I have been having some trouble using WDS between an Airport Extreme and Express, with the Extreme acting as the internet router in the network.
    Both devices have been updated with the lastest firmware.
    I am using Airport Utility 5.5.1
    *Airport Extreme Configuration*
    *Wireless Tab*
    Wireless Mode: Participate in a WDS network
    Allow Network to be extended: Checked
    Radio Mode: Auto
    Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal
    Channel Selection: Manual (Same as my Express)
    *WDS Tab*
    WDS Mode: WDS Main
    Allow Wireless Clients: Checked
    WDS Remotes: (MAC of my Airport Express)
    *Airport Express Configuration*
    *Wireless Tab*
    Wireless Mode: Participate in a WDS network
    Channel: (Same as my Extreme)
    Network Name: (my network name)
    Wireless Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal
    Allow this network to be extended: unchecked
    Radio Mode: 802.11n (802.11 b/g compatible)
    *WDS Tab*
    WDS Mode: WDS Remote
    Allow Wireless Clients: checked
    WDS Main: MAC of my Airport Extreme
    I think that covers the pertinent stuff. If there's anything else that might be useful, please just say so.
    So, the Extreme is green-lit, working fine. Wireless clients can connect to it just fine. On the Wireless Clients page the MAC of my Express is showing up, with a type of WDS listed. It does not, however, show up under the DHCP clients section.
    The Express is yellow-lit. Sometimes after a setting change it goes green for a minute or so, then back to yellow, reporting a WDS Error ("the AirPort Wireless device is set up as part of a WDS network, but no other AirPort wireless devices were found").
    The Airport Express is ending up with an ip address of 169.254.49.198 (an automatic private). It seems it's not getting an ip from the Extreme's DHCP.
    Do I have some sort of authentication issue here? Honestly I'm totally baffled.
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
    Would the routers' logs be of any help?
    Thanks

    Wait, just did a bit more reading. Am I correct in assuming now that the "Extend a network" option will function as a wireless repeater, with no ethernet connection to the main router required
    Yes. This will provide much better wireless performance...and...its much easier to configure.
    On your AirPort Extreme, open AirPort Utility - click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
    Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
    Make sure there is a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
    Update to save settings
    On the AirPort Express, open AirPort Utility - click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab
    Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network (hold down the option key when you click on the selection box if you do not see this setting)
    Wireless Network Name = Click on the selection box and name of your AirPort Extreme network should appear
    Check mark next to Allow wireless clients
    Wireless Security = Exact same setting as the AirPort Extreme network
    Wireless Password = Same password as the AirPort Extreme network
    Confirm Password
    Update to save changes
    A good starting location for the Express is a point that is about 1/2 to 2/3 the distance from your AirPort Extreme to the area that needs more coverage.
    The ethernet port on the Express is also enabled, so you can connect an ethernet device if needed. Post back to let us know how things are working.

  • How do I maintain my Airport Extreme network with my new Comcast wireless gateway?

    Hi all,
    I've just signed up Internet access through Xfinity. Today, they sent me a new wireless gateway, which I am willing to use. But I would also like to maintain the network I've currently been using, which is an Airport Extreme hooked up to our DSL modem. Currently, I have a Brother wireless printer, our TiVo, and a Roku streaming stick on this network, as well as all of our Macs and mobile devices. I have been reading about "bridge mode," and selecting this mode once my AE is hooked up through the Ethernet cable to our new wireless gateway seems like the way to go if I'd like to keep the AE network I have now. Then, I can select either the new Xfinity network or the AE network, depending on my need. Is that correct? Will I have to reassign all of these peripherals to the AE network once it's been placed in bridge mode, or will they all be able to find that network automatically once the AE is plugged into the new modem/router? Also, is there a way to connect the AE to the new Xfinity equipment wirelessly, or is it best to connect through Ethernet? I have probably betrayed my ignorance more than a few times in this post, so please be kind and explain it to me like I'm a seven-year-old. Thanks in advance for any and all help!
    -B

    Call Comcast and ask them for instructions to configure their "wireless gateway" as a simple modem. Sometimes the terminology they use is "transparent bridging". Have them walk you through it, since all such devices are configured differently. It is usually through a web page but you will need a password to change its settings. You ought to turn off its wireless network also, so ask about that too.
    Then, you will have essentially what you have been accustomed to using: an Extreme connected to a box with an Ethernet cable, doing everything it used to do when you had DSL. Your AirPort Extreme is almost certainly a better router than whatever junk Comcast supplies, and to reconfigure it as a bridge would remove all the features that make it so.
    You probably won't need to change a thing on your Extreme, other than to unplug it and plug it in again after reconfiguring the "wireless gateway".

  • How to extend airport extreme area with tp link 740n

    i just bought an airport extreme, but it doesnt reach the swimming pool area. i have a Tp-link 740N, here. can i use it? and how can i configure it?
    thx

    The only way to extend the range of a non-Apple base station is to connect it to your Extreme with an Ethernet cable.
    Its range cannot be extended wirelessly.

  • Extend AirPort Extreme Network with AirPort Express- Setup assistance

    I have an AirPort Extreme working nicely and connected directly to my Comcast cable modem.  I would like to extend my network for greater coverage upstairs and to run an upstairs printer on the network.  I cannot get the Express connected as an extension to my existing wireless network.  What am I doing wrong? 

    Hi Bob. Do you mind if I listen in on this thread? I am trying to extend a network the same way JVT1057 is, yet my Mac mini in the Airport application cannot find the Express device. The Extreme device is up and working well, and is "seen" by the mini in the utility, but not the Express device. I need a stronger signal in a home office upstairs and would like to connect a networked printer here in the office via the Express.
    What am I doing wrong? I, too, have specifiied on the Extreme menus that I want the network to be extended.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

  • Can i use my airport utility on my ipad 2 to extend my extreme network with an express?

    can I use my ipad 2 to extend my extreme network with an express

    Yes, you can.....assuming you are asking about an 802.11ac AirPort Extreme and a new AirPort Express or the previous version model A1264.
    But, the Express will not extend the "ac" signal from the AirPort Extreme, since it has no "ac" capability. It will only extend the normal "b/g/n" wireless signal.
    That is going to create quite a slow down on the entire "b/g/n" network if you are planning to have the Express connect using wireless. It would be much better if you could connect the Express using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection back to the AirPort Extreme.

  • Can this be done? Airport extreme connected wireless in extend mode to connect a wireless Mac Pro with an ethernet cable from the extended airport extreme..

    Can this be done? Airport extreme connected wireless in extend mode to connect a wireless Mac Pro with an ethernet cable from the extended airport extreme.

    This will work.....IF....you also have an Apple AirPort router configured to provide your wireless network.
    In other words, you need to have two Apple AirPort routers to extend a wireless network.
    When the AirPort Extreme is configured to "extend" the wireless of the "main" AirPort, it will provide more wireless coverage and the Ethernet ports are enabled, so you could connect your Mac Pro to any of the Ethernet ports and use that as a network and Internet connection.

  • Airport Express disconnects wired internet connection when attempting to extend Airport Extreme WiFi network

    I just purchased and airport express to extend my wifi network.  My base station is an airport extreme, I have one wired connection and a wifi network.  When I go through the recommended steps to set up the express and "extend the network", the airport extreme will no longer connect to the internet via ethernet.  I have tried various settings and can't seem to resolve the problem.  Any assistance would be much appreciated. 

    Ok so we now have a solution to the problem.   A friend of mine came round to work this out with me last night and we were able to get it working, but it is not as easy as I had hoped.  Fisrtly we plugged the airport express into my router using the ethernet cable  (for this I am using an Airport Express Base Station") and in airport utilities selected the airport express.  In edit, we then gave the airport express a new range of IP address which did not conflict with any of the other applications that I have already assigned.  We also named the Airport Express with a distinguishable name.  We then waited for the changes to be registered then unplugged the Airport Express from the router.  I then plugged my AppleTV via HDMI into a tv to test it and selected the new wifi network with the new Airport Express distinguishable name.  I was able to watch a video that I have on my ipad directly on my tv without being connected to the internet, and was able to play Airplay presentations.
    No the easiest solution, and certainly not something that anyone at Apple has talked me through in my lengthy conversations with them at Applecare. 
    Hope this helps.

  • Extending AirPort Extreme's network breaks things

    Aftter years of faultless Leopard service I upgraded to Lion  the other day.
    Like many others, my network has now ground to a halt and and time machine backup is very hit and miss.
    I use an Airport Extreme which is connected to a Time Capsule via ethernet.
    I have found that if I stop extending the Extreme's network to the Time Capsule, everything works.  With the network extending wifi and ethernet constantly break.
    The post below was found on another website but his simptoms are identical to mine, and maybe this is the problem with all of these Lion network issues?
    Apple Airport WiFi problems
    Submitted by HD BOy on July 10, 2011 - 8:30 P.M.
    This problem is very real, but it is *NOT* an OS X Lion (10.6.8) issue. I think it is an Airport software issue. I just had the very same problem appear under Snow Leopard 10.6.7 on two separate LAN WiFi networks, one in Albuquerque and another in Sacramento. I've been able to replicate the problem on the two different networks:
    Albuquerque (new Airport Extreme with Qwest/Motorola DSL modem)
    1. Upgraded Airport Utility to v7.5.2.
    2. Added a new Airport Express to extend (5GHz) Airport Extreme signal for network 1 (Albuquerque).
    3. WiFi network worked for a few minutes and then ground to a halt. WiFi dead on Macs, Windows 7 and Vista PCs, iPhone 4s and iPads.Network down for a couple of days, trying to fix it. We finally had to disconnect the Airport Express. Choosing "extend a network" is the problem...
    Sacramento (2nd generation Time Capsule with old, Comcast Scientific Atlanta or new RCA DOCIS 2.0 modems)
    1. Upgraded Airport Utility to v7.5.2.
    2. Added a new Airport Express to extend (5 GHz) Time Capsule signal for network 2 (Sacramento).
    3. WiFi network worked for a few minutes and then ground to a halt. WiFi dead on Macs, iPhone 4s and iPads. After a few minutes, even Ethernet access died — the router kills the DSL or cable modems since they get caught in a communications loop. This network also went down for a couple of days. We finally had to disconnect the Airport Express. Choosing "extend a network" is the problem...
    4. To test this theory, I reconfigured a second Time Capsule on this network from Wireless "Off" to extend the network.
    5. Same problem — network fails and the main DHCP router can't communicate with the cable modem. Even Ethernet died.
    When this occurs, the network slows to a crawl. Web pages stop loading or take minutes to load. You can't communicate with the "extended" routers at all — they get stuck while Airport attempts to read or save the Airport configuration file. Disconnecting them is the only option. Even resetting these devices doesn't work properly.
    Three different people configured these networks and we all had the same problems. Apple, you have a problem.

    PageMaker, I'm experiencing this exact same issue when I'm trying to extend my Extreme Network with my Time Capsule.  It breaks my home sharing, Apple TV and wireless printing.  Were you able to resolve?  What do you recommend?  I've had to shutdown the "extend" capabilities which has made half my home dark.  Thoughts apprecited.

  • Extended AirPort Extreme Network Unable to Connect

    I have two AirPort Extremes.  One was set up in the basement directly to my network and is working fine.  The other AirPort Extreme was set up upstairs, plugged into the same hub as the downstairs Extreme, and I followed the default setup procedure on my MacBook Pro to extend the downstairs wireless network via ethernet.  You can connect to the downstairs Extreme via wireless devices no problem, but when you move upstairs into the range of the Extreme on that level, you are unable to attach to the wireless network.  I can see the network, but when attempting to attach via the MacBook, the wireless indicator works for a while, then displays a "!" with no other message.  On an iPhone, you are not able to connect at all.
    The setup procedure in Mac OS X is very straightforward, and I accepted all defaults in the AirPort Utility to extend the existing AirPort Extreme (downstairs) network.  There are no other wireless networks that may interfere. 
    The router in this home is a Luxul XBR-2300.  The AirPort Extremes are plugged into a switch that the router is also plugged in to.  Both AirPort Extremes have access to the network/internet-- if you plug a device directly to the AirPort Extreme it can get to the internet via the hardwired connection.
    I've been working on this problem for two days, have returned one of the AirPort Extremes thinking it was defective, but I have the same problem.
    I did the same type of setup in another home with two AirPorts and it was 'plug and play'. 

    Tesserax, thank you for the reply.  I have commented next to each suggestion.
    If both AirPort Extreme base stations are interconnected by Ethernet they should be configured for a "roaming" network.  They are interconnected by Ethernet and are configured for a "roaming" network.
    Setup both AirPort Extreme base stations as bridges. Network tab > Router Mode: Off (Bridge Mode).  This is how they are both set up.
    For each base station:
    Connect to the same subnet of the Ethernet network.  They are on the same switch.  They are on the same subnet.
    Provide a unique Base Station Name.  They have unique names.
    The Network Name (SSID) should be identical.  They have the same SSID, exactly.
    If using security, use the same security type (WEP, WPA, etc.) and password. Note: It is highly recommended that you use WPA2 Personal for best bandwidth performance.  They are both using WPA2.
    Make sure that the channel is set at least three channels apart from the next base station to prevent Wi-Fi interference.  Initially the Apple AirPort Utility set both up under "Wireless" settings to "Automatic".  Based upon this suggestion, I set the Basement Extreme manually to the first channel choices for 2.4hz and 5.0hz networks.  I set the Upstairs Extreme manually to channels at least 3 channels away.  NO CHANGE to the problem.
    The following are the basic setup steps:  I have done the following in an attempt to fix the problem, after changing the wireless channels on both units manually:
    Power all the base stations down.  Done.
    Perform a "factory default" reset on each of the base stations. Note: You may have to perform this more than once to make sure they "stick." Done.  Confirmed with rapidly flashing light on both.
    Connect one Ethernet cable between the Ethernet switch to the (circle of dots) port on the basement Extreme. Connect a second Ethernet cable between the switch and the WAN port of the upstairs Extreme.
    Basement Extreme:  Modem-->Router-->Switch-->Basement Extreme WAN Port
    Upstairs Extreme:  Basement Extreme LAN Port-->Upstairs Extreme WAN Port  (Prior to this change they were both plugged in to the switch via the WAN port)
    Power up just the basement Extreme. Done.
    Set Network Mode option to: Create a wireless network. Done.  Set the Router Mode to: Off (Bridge Mode). Done. Verify that you can get Internet connectivity with network clients either by wireless or by wire connections to the basement Extreme.  Verified-- can connect with no problems.  NOTE:  I set this up using the iPhone AirPort Utility using default settings to create a network.  I then verified these settings on the MacBook Pro in the AirPort Utility.  I manually set channels based upon your recommendation to set them to insure no interference, restarted, and verified that I can connect.
    Power up the upstairs Extreme. Use the AirPort Utility to select it.  Done.  Verify that this unit has not been plugged in after reset until now.  NOTE:  It now shows in the AirPort Utility Network Diagram that the Basement AirPort Extreme is connected to the Internet, and the Upstairs Extreme is plugged into the Basement Extreme.  Before, both were shown connecting to the Internet.
    Configure the upstairs Extreme with the Network Mode option set to: Create a wireless network. (Note: Do NOT set it to "Extend a wireless network."  Verified.  Was set up correctly by default.
    Set the Wireless Network Name, Wireless Security, & Wireless Password options to be exactly the same as that used for the basement Extreme.  Verified.
    Set the Router Mode to: Off (Bridge Mode).  Verified.  Was set up correctly by default.
    Select Update and allow the upstairs Extreme to restart.  Extra Step:  Manually set the channel to be 3 away from Downstairs Extreme based on initial recommendation, above.  Restarted the Upstairs Extreme.
    Once restarted verify that you can roam with a wireless laptop or iOS device between base stations and still gain Internet access.  Problem not solved.
    I followed everything above exactly.  Neither my MacBook Pro nor my iPhone can connect to the "Apple Network" out of range of the Basement Extreme.  The network line connecting the Extremes is verified and is a good line. 
    Again, thank you for the very detailed response.  I had pretty much tried all of the above other than plugging the Upstairs Extreme WAN directly to the Basement Extreme LAN Port and manually setting channels on both.  Did I screw anything up based upon what you wrote?  Any other suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Ken

  • Airport Extreme working with iMac but not with Windows 7 Laptop!

    My iMac (OSX 10.5.8) has been working fine with my Airport Extreme, but a new member of our household cannot connect wirelessly with their Windown 7 Laptop. The PC can see the wireless name for our household and says it is connected to it, but there is a problem actually connecting to the internet. Has anyone experienced similar problems? We are at a loss as to what to do. Applecare were no help (despite forking out for the advanced applecare warranty) and both Mac and PC service providers blame each other. Any advice would be much appreicated. Surely the Airport Extreme can talk simultaneously to PC and Mac wireless computers?

    I have had the same issue. Airplay working with all devices apart from one windows 7 (the actual media server) and have spent over a week trying to resolve it.
    This worked for me.
    Turn off windows firewall and in my instance macafee. Be warned while macafee says that it's off there are services running all the time.
    You will need to open macafee settings and turn off access protection first
    Then search services from start bar
    Open services and filter by manufacturer
    Stoop all macafee services
    Right click the start bar
    Open task manager
    Stop all macafee processes
    Try your airport utility you should now see your express
    If you can you will see your icon in iTunes
    This pores that it's likely to be a macafee issues. Of course you do not want to leave the firewall off so I installed macafee and installed a fresh copy turning both the windows and macafee firewall on with no resultant issues
    Hope this helps

  • HT1145 The airport extreme used with my iMac is not seeing my other devices...anybody, please?

    Hi DaileyT,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at this article:
    When do Apple wireless devices appear in AirPort Utility?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3624
    Troubleshooting missing devices
    If your Apple wireless device doesn't show up in the wireless device list, try the following:
    Check to see that the device is turned on.
    Check that the device is connected to the network via Ethernet or in wireless range of your computer.
    Make sure the device has had adequate time to start up and become discoverable. In the case of Apple wireless devices that are not connected via Ethernet, AirPort Utility scans for new devices once every 15 seconds. From the time a device becomes discoverable (typically around one minute), it could take up to another 15 seconds before the device is displayed in the list.
    If you have just configured a new Apple Wireless device, upgraded the firmware, selected "Restore Default Settings..." or have hard reset and configured an Apple wireless device and it does not show up in AirPort Utility after restarting, you may have an incorrect setting. You may want to hard reset the unit and set it up again.
    If you are connected to a specific wireless network, all Apple wireless devices which make up that network will appear. However, if you "Restore Default Settings..." from AirPort Utility, or hard reset a device that is out of physical wireless range of the computer, you will need to move the device closer the computer to configure it again.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

    i have an imac g4 purchased Dec 2003 runnung OS 10.5.8.  It runs fine with airport off, but when I turn airport on it freezes with the black page,  "restart by holding power key . . ."  I swapped the airport extreme card with the one in my ibook G4 (purchased same date and running same OS).  No change in operation.
    I am running wifi from verizon.  Recently changed from mifi2200 to jetpak 4620 in a 3G location.  Ibook running fine, desktop freezes.  If I can boot desktop in safe mode and get airport turned off in time. then I can reboot regularly and imac runs flawlessly with no wireless.Have run disk utilities and TechTool Pro rebuild etc, but nothing has worked.  How do I fine the culprit?

    the power logix thing was really sad. apple changed so much after 10.4.8 that there wasn't a viable way to patch the software.
    That statement is precisely why I don't believe in blindly updating the OS, especially in a non-standard machine.
    We can't expect third parties to support us forever, and it is shameful to break something that works fine, except that we updated the OS....
    I think that any upgrade or modification to a machine or the OS greatly increases the risk of trouble or incompatibility with current configuration and "new" system files.
    After all, the component or software could only be tested as far as the current OS version when the component or software was released.
    Beyond that, we are all "beta testing".
    Following a beta tester protocol, and applying updates to a cloned system drive first, is a prudent way to approach updates, and not only for older, heavily modified machines.
    After 10.4.8 and moreso with Leopard, the focus is primarily on Intel architecture, not PPC architecture.
    Like it or not, we are all updating to the abyss of the extinction of our machines, unless we can be satisfied with the last stable version of OS that works well with our hardware and software.
    I wish they would include the latest pkgs at least with software update.
    Yes, having individual packages, rather than lump "OS X 10.x.x" updates would be nice.
    This way, one could update as one sees fit. That is to say, for example, fix the Quicktime, but leave my Network alone, etc., etc.
    In all fairness, Apple does provide for some breakdown of updates, but I believe there is much room for improvement, especially, as you point out, with regard to the core services portion of the OS.
    Until then, I'll leave Software Update disabled.......

  • WPA security with both time capsule and airport express not working together

    I want to set WPA security on my time capsule so that my teenager can not access wireless with out permission but when I add a security key my airport express disappears from list.
    I have tried setting a password then the time capsule restarts and when it does the aiport express is gone from list and can not be found when rescanned.
    Do I need to set time capsule and then reset airport express by pluggin it directly into desktop and resetting its software?
    Thanks

    I would suggest, reconnecting the Express to the TC again. Use the AirPort Utility to make ALL configuration changes including the network extending settings. Then restart both base stations and check that the settings are still good. Then disconnect the Express and give it a few minutes to initialize. It should connect. If not, then the issue may be either the distance or obstructions (like walls, ceilings, floors, etc.) that is preventing the Express from getting a signal from the TC that is adequate enough to extend.

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,
    Melissa
