Extreme firmware upgrade made Express unable to connect

I got the auto update notice for a fimware upgrade to my Extreme to 7.2.1. Once I upgraded I am no longer able to connect my Express. I have done all the resets and have gone through all configuration each time, but after it resets itself after configuring it, it no longer shows up in the AirPort Utility until I reset it again. The only thing unique about my Extreme config is that I have the Radio Mode set to 802.11b/g compatible. This was necessary to connect TiVo wireless USB adapters to the network.

The reason the Airport Express loses its connection is that it doesn't know the password.
You have two ways of doing this.
1. When adding security to a WDS network, add it to the remote nodes first then turning them off, before adding it to the main base station and turning the nodes back on.
2. Hard/Factory reset the Airport Express nodes and then reconfigure the main base station before then configuring the reset Airport Express units.

After upgrading to ios7 unable to connect iCloud server!!

After upgrading to ios7 unable to connect iCloud server!!

The same thing is happening here with my 16 GB wifi only iPad 2, and this is my first update in perhaps a year. The IOS7 update makes it to "Updating iCloud settings..." and goes no further. After a while the install fails (I guess) and I have to start over. Always ends the same way, black screen, nothing happening. Start over, same result. BTW I DO NOT USE iCLOUD ANYWAY
Apple please help!

While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t run Mountain Lion. There's a Mountain Lion Support Community where everybody has Mountain Lion. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/os_x_mountain_lion

Airport Extreme with Airport Express--unable to connect to internet

I am using an Airport Extreme and 4 Airport Expresses to extend the range of the Extreme which is connected to my modem. As long as I am in the immediate area of the extreme the internet connection works perfectly. When I move to another part of the house, ie upstairs the internet does
not work. Diagnostics tells me that the ISP has failed and the internet and server lights are amber.
I have a green light on all the airports and a strong signal strength on my computer. Sometimes
diagnostics tells me that my airport does not have an IP address. I have the Airport Extreme and
two Airport Expresses downstairs and two Airport Expresses upstairs. HELP!

+however I did not use the ethernet cable. Would you please explain why this+
+works as I am using a laptop to connect wirelessly+
I'm guessing here that you are talking about using an ethernet cable to connect the Express directly with the computer to help with configuration.
When you do this, AirPort Utility and the Express are on the same network, so they communicate together. It seems that a lot of users have trouble trying to configure the Express using wireless...probably because it is sometimes necessary to "switch" networks to find the Express. I think the ethernet method is much easier and there's just less to go wrong. But...other users swear by the wireless configuration method, so I guess the bottom line is whatever works best is best.

Express unable to connect to Extreme when wireless security enabled

I have an Airport Extreme base station enabled as a WDS and communicating with an Airport Express which all works great to connect wirelessly to the internet and to play iTunes music on my stereo. The problem is that whenever I enable wireless security on the base station in an attempt to set up and maintain a private connection, the Express blinks amber, cannot recognize the network set up by the base station, and fails to work with iTunes. When I disable wireless security, it goes back to working again. I've tried re-enabling WDS and all kinds of other things, but to no avail. I'm thinking that somehow the Express must be authorized to communicate with the base station, but I don't know exactly how to do this, and the documentation from Apple is not clear on this. Can someone advise? Thanks.

The reason the Airport Express loses its connection is that it doesn't know the password.

After 11g upgrade "REP - 501: Unable to connect...."

Hi All,
There is a problem in one of our application which is deployed on 10g AS(10.1.2.0). The database it was connecting was upgraded to 11.2.0.3 from 10gR2.
A report is not getting executed from a form. But from web browser the report is working in standalone. Below i have checked so far.
Error I am getting:
REP - 501: Unable to connect to the specified database.
1. Disabled case sensitive login in the 11g database.
2.Used FORMS_USERNAME_CASESENSITIVE = 1 in ORACLE_HOME/forms/server/default.env.
3.Checked for zrclient.jar and rwrun.jar in classpath env variable.
4.Changed Service_name to sid in the tns connect string.
5.Restarted the whole opmn stack.
6.Run the form in debug mode and find the username,password and connect string it is throwing to report is OK. I can connect through sqlplus.
No error in forms server log in opmn or in report server.
Please help.
Now where to look at?

FabianThanks for your reply.
1. tnsping is ok.
2. reports is working in this way. Problem was when calling from forms.
3. did not tried the trace. Before that the root cause of the problem was found.
Well you may say this is a mistake from my side. The URL that was being generated by the form was with wrong report server name. The application has the capability to fetch the report server name from the server and store in a db table. From that table the report server name is read and URL is made. Don't know why, some developer wrote the report server name in the form instead of fetching it from the db. So there was a mismatch of the report server name and it was not running. All I was having access was screenshot of the error and the logs. So I missed out the URL.

Airport Extreme Firmware Upgrade

Hi there.
I had an Airport Extreme that I wasn't using so I brought it to my father's house to set it up as a wireless network for his house.
I plugged it into the DSL modem then into the Airport Extreme. The computer can see it. ( iMac Mid-2014 )
I can't seem to figure out a way to configure it, when I plug it in it asks for me to upgrade to firmware version 7.31, but when I go to the page it suggests there are no download links, only instructions to upgrade the firmware through the Airport Utility which won't let me do anything because I need to upgrade to 7.31.
Any ideas how I could get the firmware upgrade? I have tried to navigate around the Apple Downloads page but there are no downloads that I have found.
This is for an Airport Extreme 802.11n ( Model No. A1142 ) if that is any help.
Let me know if anyone has any idea.
Thanks.
JK

The bottom line here is that you are going to need an older version of AirPort Utility 5.x to be able to upgrade the original firmware on the AirPort Extreme.
AirPort Utility 6.x in Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks and Yosemite will not work with the older version of firmware that is installed on the AirPort at this time.
However, when you update the AirPort to firmware 7.5.2, 7.6.1, etc.......then.....AirPort Utility 6.x can be used to administer the AirPort Extreme.
So, to get started on updating the firmware on the AirPort Extreme......you will need....or be able to borrow for 10-15 minutes......a Mac running Leopard (10.5.x), Snow Leopard (10.6.x), or a PC that has AirPort Utility installed on the device.

I can tell you that you are not alone - I have tried to crack this one for some days - Im just following the instructions from the Airport assistant and it dosn't work

My airport express is not connecting with my airport extreme base station. They are probably six years old. My IP address on my express shows 0.0.0.0

My Airport extreme and my airport express are not connecting together. I get an error message saying that my airport express software is not compatible with my Airport extreme and I have use them together for the past five or six years. It says I may need to change my IP address on my computer or something like that but I don't know what to do. the IP address on my express shows 0.0.0.0. Should everything be on the same IP address? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Please refer to the information already posted above:
If you see A1084 or A1088 there, your older Express is not supported by the newer version of AirPort Utility that you have.
If you have another Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard, or a PC, then you could use that computer to administer the older Express and it will work on the network along with the AirPort Extreme.
If the Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard or PC does not "see" the A1084 Express, you will need to "hard reset" the Express by holding in the reset button for 10 seconds and waiting a full minute for the Express to restart. Then, reconfigure the Express again.

IMac w/firmware upgrade not connecting thru chooser

Grade school iMacs (crt style) connect to library search software by selecting an alias on the local iMac that is for the program on the shared volume on the library Mac. This share is Read Only to everyone.
Any iMac running OS 9.x that does not have the firmware upgrade for OS X is connecting fine as they always have. Click the alias, brings up the chooser to do the STUDENT logon to the library share and begins the execution of the software on the local mac.
Some used iMacs that were added to the library have had their firmware upgraded for OS X. When these select the same alias - they get an error saying they do not have execution rights to the alias. But, if you manually go to the Chooser and log on to the libary share - then execute the actual program file - it works just fine.
So it appears that the firmware update has glitched the machine's ability to log on to the library share and execute the search program via the alias.
iMac iLamps (flat screen with round base)seem to work fine. Switch to OS9 via Classic, go through the Chooser and run the library search software. So seems our problem child(ren) is/are the CRT iMacs with the firmware upgrade.
Ideas? Anyone else run into this?
Thanks,

You didn't indicate how long the iMac was running without problems, before you decided to upgrade the memory. It's possible that the display's degraded picture quality is not directly related to the memory installation, since that procedure is relatively non-invasive on a slot-loading iMac. The board could have had a problem that would manifest itself after a sufficient period of ON time, that went unnoticed, prior to its sale on eBay. Sellers often buy pallets of computers in unknown working condition, that are stacked on top of each other and wrapped with plastic. Because the cases often have cosmetic damage, they're parted out. If the computer powers up and everything appears to be working fine, it's shut down and disassembled. If the unit were left ON long enough, perhaps any problems that it had (prior to being pulled from service) would eventually surface. I'd suggest trying the other board that you bought.

This is part of the message since you cannot post such a long message in posting.
This should show how lost you might be with your warranty. If you install the Firmware Upgrade .8.02 your player might be useless. There is no way to make it work again. Not really. If you understand what Creative seems not to do. So dear user - buy a new player. If you want to know what the solution is to make your player work again post here. If there are enough postings I will explain it here. Too sad that Creative does not do it. It is their job not mine... But again - I am not talking about a problem what is nice to have it solved. I am talking about a player that does not work anymore. If you do not want to wait for my solution just send your player for repair - it was not your fault that it does not work anymore...
This story with the great support was a test of Creative and will be used in a review. So be not surprised to find it somewhere else.
Here the Creative support story. The first mail is at the bottom. I had to make part and part 2 since you cannot post such a long message here.

I just wanted to test the support at Creative. The problem is real and forces owners of your players to buy a new one since their playes get useless after the upgrade. Not only that Creative puts a faulty upgrade on their homepage - their support is good for nothing. But this was a test of the Creative support. I hardly can believe that Creative is not in the position to solve a very simple problem caused by Creative - what has severe consequences for their customers. But this mail story confirms exactly this. So my advice to any customers - stay away from this company and their products - what is the final result of my test. If you want to know the solution for the problem please contact me again - I am glad to help such a poor company :-)))) For free?

Airport Extreme 7.1 Firmware Upgrade - problems with Airdisk

I recently upgraded the Airport Extreme firmware from 7.0 to 7.1 but have experienced several problems.
After the initial upgrade, I encountered a double NAT warning, which was fixed by switching into Bridge mode, followed by an invalid IP address warning. I rebooted the AE and the warning disappeared.
Connecting to the wireless network is ok, except that it can never remember my connection (which is a closed WPA2 Personal network) and I have to manually re-connect every time I switch on the nac - with my previous Airport Express this would remember the network and re-connected automatically.
Worst of all however is that I can no longer see my AirDisk - a LaCie 500 GB USB HD connected to the AE.
The disk name is simply upper case ASCII and so I cannot understand why this is occurring. It worked perfectly using version 7.0. Has anyone else had these problems or aware of a workaround?
MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo) Mac OS X (10.4.9)

The 7.1 update has caused problems for many many people.
What I did to solve problems was to revert back to 7.0. here's a link to a post I made over at jmacrumors.com explaining how to do it:

Cannot connect to internet after airport firmware upgrade

I bought a new Airport Extreme Base Station, hooked it up, and it worked just fine. Then it asked for a firmware upgrade, which I installed. Now the base station will not connect to the internet. I've tried re-booting my cable modem, re-starting the base station, etc. No luck. Pending an answer to this question, I re-installed my prior Airport Extreme base station, and it worked just fine. It wants me to do a firmware update, but I'm understandably reluctant.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks Chris. One of posts in this thread mentioned the possibility of a corrupt file in the operating system. I reloaded 10.7 using a flash drive I made and then did a hard reset of my Airport Extreme. That solved the problem. I hope this helps.
