Extreme & Express - Why doesn't extending range work properly?

I have an Airport Extreme 802.11n and an Airport Express 802.11g. The reason I bought the Airport Extreme was that I could use the Express to extend it's range and the two would integrate and all would be good and well. But here's the issue, and it's been with me pretty much since I bought the pair about 3 months ago.
They seem to have trouble keeping together. What I mean by this is, if both are plugged in and connected, at some point (I haven't noticed a regular pattern to it) when I open a laptop, be it an 11g iBook or an 11n MacBook, it will get a self assigned IP address. Which isn't greatly useful to me. The only way to resolve this is to unplug the Express, turn off airport on the client, turn it back on again and reconnect directly to the Extreme.
Now I can't work out what might be going on here, since it happens both when the clients are set to obtain an IP address through DHCP or if it's been set up manually. I have tried setting up the base stations both manually and through apple's setup assistant in Airport Utility. Often when a client finds itself stuck like that though, when I open Airport Utility only the Express will show up. Currently, the Express has had it's IP set statically. The DHCP pool has been adjusted so 10.0.1.1 through 10.0.1.100 are available for manual use and the rest are DHCP, so there's no conflicts of IPs.
Can anyone please help me? This functionality is pretty much the only reason I bought the Airport Extreme over a Linksys or D-Link box, and if I have to set the Express to remain solely a client and not extend the range, then the justification for the higher price of the Airport Extreme is void. I have reset the units in the past to no avail and as far as I can tell, they both have the latest firmware.
Thanks in advance, Daniel

Hi Macdanuk,
I am having the same issue and have had it from the start.
I use ADSL connected to airport extreme and then have 2 airport express units located around the premises.
I have the issue whereby if one of the units are plugged out (power socket) and plugged back in, it can;t seem to reconnect. Eventually it will supply itself a IP. (in the 169.254.... range).
The only way I can rectify the issue is to reconfigure the whole airport system and simply said, not plug out the airport express.
I hope I can also find some assistance here as I think my problem is very similiar to yours.
Regards,
Grootbaas

Why doesn't my Phone work properly with my Cars Bu...

Car manufacturers are now building complex car kits into their vehicles.
The companies include:
Ford, Audi, BMW, Alfa Romeo, Peugeot, Vauxhall/Opel, Volkswagen, Mercedes, and other high end specification cars.
One of the functions, is that it pulls the phone book data from the phone via bluetooth.
Background Information
A lot of the Nokia E and N series, Symbian S60 handsets, do not carry the required bluetooth profile in their bluetooth stack.
The phone is missing the Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP) that allows the car to pull data from the phone.
Why the phones do not carry the profile is unknown. What is known is that using the Nokia 810 car kit downloader software, you can partly restore some of this functionality.
Additionally the Nokia 616 Car Kit Downloader will also function, along with the Ford Connectivity Downloader.
Workaround
The information is here:
http://europe.nokia.com/A4143881
You'll need to delete the existing pairing in the handset and the car, then install and run the application, don't just install the application and expect it to work, you must re-pair the handset and the car.
When it is installed start the application, and then re-pair the phone to the radio, this may then copy your contacts into the radio, be paitent, as it can take a few minutes to copy and setup.
It may copy the phone book over, but the Missed Dialled and Received calls may not work.
I have tested this with an Audi S3, A4, and A6 on a Nokia N82 and N95.
The Nokia E71, appears to have the profile and functions correctly with an Audi car kit, in Handsfree Profile mode.
The Nokia E71, when connected in SIM access profile mode is the same as the other E and N series handsets are requires the 810 or 616 downloader to be installed in the handset.
Installing the 810/616 downloader only restores phone book functionality, there are some software combinations on car and phones that work without the downloader.
It may also be possible for your car manufacturers franchised dealer to be able to update the software in your car so that additional features are available, they may charge for this service. Also updating software in the phone may also help, as Nokia may see fit to add the profile if they are able.
For some cars and handsets, when you are connecting with the SIM Access Profile function, you will still need to install the 616/810 downloader application as detailed above, as the phone normally switches off most of its functionality. The phone book will then normally function when you have installed the application.
The workaround only resolves the problem with the phone book. Problems such as random disconnecting which also is reported, are beyond the scope of this article.
Edit: 24-01-09
I have noticed recently that random disconnecting can be caused if you have an Internet Telephony Service running in your handset. Also if you have the WLAN discovery setting enabled then this can cause the same problem - whilst I am not attempting to try and resolve random disconnects, it could be a reason for why this is happening.
I have recently installed a VoIP service in my handset and 100 mtrs from my home when the handset disconnects from this service at my house, the Bluetooth disconnects from the Car Kit, in my E71.
Edit 14-04-09
Audi also make a Bluetooth Sim Access Profile adapter for their Generation II and Generation III (Low) mobile telephone interface. (Audi Part No: 8P0051440) The SIM access service will require the 810 phone kit downloader application. With this on my kit I am getting disconnections with Bluetooth. To prevent this, I switch Bluetooth off and then on again prior to connecting to the kit, this resolves the disconnecting.
Edit 12-05-09
Further to the Audi edit above, I now have an Audi S4 2009 with the Audi Mobile Phone Preparation (high) for this to function correctly with phone book access the 810 Downloader needs to be installed, and running when the phone connects to the car every time it connects. Otherwise the phone book access does not operate.
Edit:12-06-09
You can also use the Ford Contact Downloader application from
http://www.ford-mobile-connectivity.com/ - select downloads then Select a Nokia E or N Series Device and download the contact application (this works fine in my Audi)

Why doesn't my camera work properly after backing up ISO7

Can anyone tell me hy my camera will not work after updating to ISO7.0.3. It appears in negative all the time. Unable to see any adjustments on my settings.

Nothing? Just left to resort to the 'geniuses'?

How does one sync the new time capsule with the old airport extreme and airport express in order to extend range?

How does one sync the new time capsule with the old airport extreme and airport express in order to extend range?

Thanks for the additional information.
Unfortunately, the AirPort Utility application in the Lion and Mountain Lion operating systems, which is used to configure the new Time Capsule does not support the older versions of the products that you have.
Even if it did, there are no settings on the older AirPorts to "Extend a wireless network", so they are not compatible with the new Time Capsule if you intend to extend the network only using wireless connections.
If you have the ability to connect each AirPort to the Time Capsule using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection, it might be possible to use a complicated workaround to install an older version of AirPort Utility to configure the older AirPorts to work with the new Time Capsule.
If you have another Mac there that is using the Leopard or Snow Leoapard operating system, things would likely be simpler. I have not done this type of procedure to mix a new Time Capsule with older AirPorts, so I would not be able to say whether this would work or not.

Why doesn't this update work?

Why doesn't this update work? Can't I sum up two select count(*) in such a subquery?
Thanks
update sales T
set T.field2 = ((select count(*)
from sales t
where t.field1 = trunc(sysdate)) + (select count((*)
from sales t2
where t2.field2 is null));
I get
ERROR at line 4:
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
with the * under the +
In other words I want to run
update sales set field = ((select count(*) ..... ) + (select count(*) ..... ))

My problem is to undestand why I got a syntax error about parenthesis.Because you cannot perform arithmatic operation with a value coming from a subquery in a SET clause of UPDATE

Why doesn't my panaramic work on my lock screen

Panoramic was only something apple had in the Betas and has not been seen on any device, even the 5S, since they released the full versions of iOS 7.

Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.

How many Airport Expresses can you link and still work properly

How many Airiport Expresses can you link and still work properly.

It would depend on whether all of these base stations will be interconnected by Ethernet or by wireless and what your goal is with them.
In a roaming network, where all base stations would be connected by Ethernet, you could have 10+ base stations. Apple has never (at least to me) any limits on the number of base stations that can be used in this type of network.
In an extended network, where all of the base stations use wireless connections, the practical limit would be 4 or 5 base stations.

Why does iMessages does not work properly ? Please help me ! Its works better with the previous version if compared with the latest iOS

Why does iMessages does not work properly ? Please help me ! Its works better with the previous version if compared with the latest iOS

Many, many thanks for both of you Todd and Rick.
to Rick:
I suppose you mean the Color Settings in Project Settings as follows:
- Working Space: None
- Match Legacy ... Gamma Adjustments checked ON
But it does not correct the colors in effects. And checking or unchecking Make Movie/Output Module Settings/Color Management/Profile/Preserve RGB does not make any difference.
to both of you:
Those parts of the video image that does not have color effects are just fine. In these parts the color is preserved when reimporting to FCP. However, those parts having color effects (except Levels, as decribed earlier) have altered color results. So, only the parts having effects affecting color are misinterpreted in the image area. The mismatch is of course seen in AE, before making the movie.
What I ment with "Color Management not working properly" is that (instead of "disabling" it) Color Management does not seem to be able to correct this "misinterpretation" or difference in effect handling between AE 6 and 10.
So, would you have any solution for this problem?
Again, many thanks for your fast replies!

Why doesn't viewport tag work if the page is local?

If the ipad just connects to my computer and views the .htm page then the viewport tag is not supported. However, if I upload that same page to a web server and visit it the ipad does support it.
Any idea why that is or what can be done to fix it?

Hi Morpheus:
I haven't tested it but Firefox 26 from the Google Play store should work on the Galaxy Mega. I'd be surprised if it doesn't. It works fine on the 3 other Samsung devices I have.
Please try re-installing Firefox and then if you still have the same issue namely:
QUOTE
'''I get the Metro PCS default page that says I need the Mobile Hotspot service'''
END QUOTE
than it's probably a Metro PCS issue because it is possible for your mobile carrier to do things like take over what's displayed when you open Firefox or any other browser. We've had cases of other US mobile carriers changing the home page on Firefox and other Android browsers for example.
If you still get the same Metro PCS issue, does the issue go away when you use another WiFi provider, e.g. at Starbucks?
'''IF the issue goes away when you use another WiFi provider, it's definitely a Metro PCS issue (in that case please ask Metro PCS support).'''
