Facetime works with wireless security disabled, dropped otherwise

On a D-Link DIR-615 wireless router, configured as an access point.
Security mode: WPA-Personal
WPA mode: WPA2 Only
Cipher type:AES
I tried inserting a 1.3 Mb file, to no avail.
I have an iPad mini with OS 8.1.2
Please let me know if more information is req'd.
To have facetime with my son and grandchildren I have change the security mode to 'none' during the session! Really? If I do not, we have about a one minute session that is dropped.
Any ideas will be explored!
Thanks in advance,
Grandpa Pete

Three answers:
1-The router is an access point as it is a 'slave' to the wired router. The wired router assigns the ip addresses and is connected to the Comcast-Arris modem.
2-Security mode options: None, WEP, WPA-Personal, WPA-Enterprise and
the password options are Auto (WPA or WPA2), WPA2 Only, WPA only. I chose the WPA2 only as some other place I'd seen something about a problem with the TKIP cipher. I'm a novice, though. What you're suggesting makes sense and I'll try to go to WPA only.
3-I tried inserting a file showing the wireless router setup page, via a screen shot. I can't even insert a half Mb file, for whatever reason. The error page says to keep it to less than 2 Mb.
-As above, the wireless device must be an access point. It's in the living room, where wireless devices are mostly used. The wired router is in one corner of the house, with the main winxp pc.
-I can't make the wireless router security mode WPA2, so I used WPA for everything and see if it works for the next facetime session. All the other wireless devices are now functional.
-I'm not understanding the third option. Is that for my tower, each wireless device?
(No, winxp is not a joke. I use it as my main pc os and have no need to replace it. I'm posting my problem in this forum because we now have an apple product, the mini iPad, and I'd sure like to use it for the facetime with the wireless security setting on during the session. So far, it's REQUIRED to turn the wireless security off to keep the facetime session longer than about 60 seconds.)
Thank you very much for your time! I really appreciate it. As a novice, routers are still mysterious to me, what with all the settings inside of them.

btw: my question is not solved. Not at all! I still believe I have an unsolved question. I don't know why the green box and checkmarks exist! Did I miss something?

Should my iPhone 1 (iOS 3.1.3) with Bluetooth 2.0 (Handset HSP?) work with wireless earbuds with BT 4.0 and the Headset (and Handsfree, A2DP, AVRCP) protocol? They pair and connect; status bar looks good. But audio always comes out the speaker. Thx.

Should my iPhone 1 (iOS 3.1.3) with Bluetooth 2.0 (Handset HSP?) work with wireless earbuds with BT 4.0 and the Headset (and Handsfree, A2DP, AVRCP) protocol? They pair and connect as expected (with a PIN); status bar looks good and shows Bluetooth active, and I even see the iPhone displays the battery levels of the wireless earbuds. But audio always comes out the speaker. (If I plug in wired headphones into the headphone jack then audio comes into the wired headphones, as expected.) I have rebooted the iPhone; I have had it forget about the wireless earbuds, and repaired and reconnected; I have reset all network settings. Thx in advance.
PS: I understand that more recent versions of iOS have a way to choose where audio output goes (speaker, headphone jack, Bluetooth device). Does this older version of iOS? I could not find an option or setting.

I've noticed this lately as well, with my iPhone 4. I couldn't confidently pin it directly on any particular iOS update, but my iPhone used to automatically connect up via Bluetooth with my Prius's handsfree feature, and now it doesn't. I work with a CE-based device at my job, with Bluetooth capability, and I used to test out that feature by having it discover my iPhone. This no longer works either.
What I have found (not really a solution, but it does work and may be a clue for Apple) is that if I simply go to the Settings app then the General -> Bluetooth screen and let it sit there, it will pair right up with my car within a few seconds. Bluetooth is always on, and always says "Now Discoverable" at the bottom of the settings screen.

(1) FaceTime cannot work with iChat.
*FaceTime ONLY works with other FaceTimes*:
• iPhone 4 http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/facetime/
• iPod touch Gen4 http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/facetime/
• FaceTime (beta) on iNtel Mac w/OS X 10.6.4 or later http://www.apple.com/mac/facetime/
*FaceTime works with _NO OTHER_ app from Apple, Skype, or anyone else*.
(2) You do not tell us which imac you use, so we cannot give a yes or no answer to your question about whether it is possible to use ichat *_on your mac_* to communicate with someones iPod or iPhone with facetime.
The answer to your question is yes, FaceTime is possible, but *ONLY IF* your Mac is an iNtel Mac that is using Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.4 or later) with the FaceTime beta application software.

Airport Express not working with wireless router

I just bought Airport Express to play music on my stereo. My PC running XP is connected to my wireless router (TeleWell TW-EA510v3) with ethernet cable and airport express wirelessly. Problem is that Airport Utility (and iTunes) can't find AE if it's not connected to router with ethernet cable.
I can connect to AE from Aiport Utility by "configure other" option so it's connected to my wireless network correctly.
Is this kind of set up even possible (pc wired to router and AE wireless)? I have tried tried WEP, WPA/WPA2 and no encryption on my wireless network and AE connects ok every time but Airport Utility still can't find it. I even tried to make a WDS network but AE was not compatible with my router. Now I can't come up with anything else to try.
Is there anything else to do? Should I buy WLAN adabter to my PC and would AE work then?
Why can't Apple make Airport Utility to recognise AE with given IP like with "configure other" option? Should not be too hard to program?!

Follow the isntruction lisetd below...they work.
Actually, the ae is a slick device, once you get it to work.
Make sure that one (or both) checkboxes in Airport Utility > Airport Express tab
(middle of page) are not checked...if one or both are checked, they limit (hide) wireless connectivity options (e.g., WEP-64) to choose from.
P.S. You must have patience: it may take a couple of minutes to establish the connection and turn the led to solid green. So, give it a chance.
===============================================================================
OMG!!! You are da man!!!
I have this streaming perfectly now!! Here is what I did for others to see and use (it does work perfectly)
Step 1) Clear/Reset the Airport Express
Step 2) Connect the Airport Express directly to the Router/Modem via Ethernet to set up Wireless
Step 3) Do it via the Manual Set-up Effort Listed Below following:
AirPort > Base Station
o Base Station Name: <rename or leave default>
o Base Station Password: <enter desired password>
o Verify Password: <re-enter desired password>
o Remember this password in my keychain: (optional)
o Set time automatically: (unchecked)
AirPort > Wireless
o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
o Network Name: <existing Linksys wireless network>
o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network> I have 64bit WEP
(Same as 40bit on the drop down menu)
o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
Music
o Enable AirTunes (checked)
o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
o Verify Password: (optional)
o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX
In iTunes:
iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)
Once it congratulates you, unplug the ethernet cable
Verify in Aitport Utility that it still recognizes (if not, repeat the above). Note this may take a few minutes, so be patient.
Now place the airport express with your stereo (or whatever) and again be patient as it tries to find the network
(mine took 4 minutes) then it turns green and you are off listening to music on your stereo downstairs in another room.
Frustrating when it does not work at first, but keep trying and it will work!!
Thanks everyone for your help!!

Problem with wireless secured network in hotels

Hello,
I'm a cabin crew member and I travel around the world almost every week. Since the update ios 6.0, my Iphone 4 16 GB doesn't connect automatically on the wireless secured network of hotels, while it worked before the update in the same hotels. My Iphone still connects automatically on my own home network, but I must ask every time to the help desk of hotels for manually connecting, by registering my mac adress on the router. Problems in Japan (Tokyo), USA (New-York, Washington, LA) and Senegal (Dakar). I'm really upset and Apple seems not concerned. Please help me.

Welcome to the forum.
I'm not so familiar with Linux, though've installed and dealed with some distrs, but as far as i know they're mostly compatible with each other.
So, check this forum (though it's Ubuntu) and try to find solution there, if no one here helps.
Also there's a member here called wyth, which helped some Ubuntu-users, which was great. Try PM him if no help here or on that forum.

MacBook Pro now works with wireless encryption

I am offering my two cents. After spending a morning on the phone with TDS and part of the afternoon with apple yesterday, today I finally have my MacBook Pro talking wireless with an encryption key.
My MBP would connect without an encryption key but would not with an encrytion key. The MBP is 2.16GHz model, with 10.4.9 plus all updates; the GW is an Actiontec GT704-WG.
My original encryption key which did not work was 128bit key 112233445566778899aabbccdd. When this key was in the router and entered onto the MBP it would not connect.
When I changed to 64bit encryption and entered an ASCII ABCDE on the router, then on the MBP entered a 64bit key of 4142434445 (the equivalent hexcodes), everything connected.
I have not tried this method with a 128 bit encryption key.
I hope this helps those who can connect without encryption but not with encryption.

iCloud technically starts working with Lion, but I recommend Mavericks, because it is a free upgrade (and a more recent one).

Ios 7 air drop not working with mountain lion air drop

Hi, didn't see an iOS 7 forum, so I'm posting it here since I was testing it out on my iPhone 5.
I tried to use air drop to share photos b/w my iPhone and my MBP running mountain lion, both has air drop enabled, but I couldn't see either on the air drop window.
is iOS 7 air drop not compatible with OSX air drop??
bluetooth and wifi are on for both machines.
thanks

I have a Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Folio i5. Also, even before reading your suggestions, I moved my phone hand set away from the iPad. There aren't any other sources within 10 feet although the phone base is within 30 feet. The WiFi router is about 5 feet away. Haven't had a chance to "troubleshoot" the connection.
Have you any suggestions for Air Drop or Air Print? My Pixma MP 450 which in excellent working order isn't compatable with either OS 10.9.x or iOS 7.
Canon suggested a Pixma MG 3520 which was hellatious to set up, requiring a big download and both a USB cable and Ethernet connection to the router, and isn't working with the iPad.
Clearly, technological "advancements" are for teeny boppers who spend their time taking phone pictures, sending mindless messages and listening to music. Oh, to be 14 again.
Sorry about the bitters. Rare opportunity to vent to adults.

Facetime works with USB UVC gearhead webcam but nothing else does

I have a gearhead USB 2.0 webcam that facetime easily see but nothing else does
It is a model WC4750AFB from gearhead it uses USB 2.0 Connectivity with UVC and Facetime sees it but I can not get any other applications to use it
Why can one app on my mac mini find and use it suxxesfully and others can't. This is really stupid. There is no basic instruction onhow to setup facetime or find out how it can see the webcam and it would be nice to know so I can get it working with my other app on my MAC mini

Configuring airport express to work with a secure router

i have installed a new router on our network and have added security. My airport express no longer can recognize the network since I believe it has to pass along a password.
How do I tell the airport express the network password?
Airport utility version 5.5.3
MAC OSX version 10.6.8

You have to start over and perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Express....then re-configure it using the new settings for your "new" network.
Power off the AirPort Express
Wait a few minutes
Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it an additional 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the Express back in to power
Release the reset button after the 9-10 hold period and allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
The Express is now back to new, out of box settings so that you can configure it to work with your "new" network.

Hi. Does anyone know if the new nano Ipod Radio will work with wireless headphones? Thanx Mz Molly

I'm aware the headphone cord works as the atenna for using the radio function in an Ipod. Now that the 7th generation is bluetooth and can be used with wireless headphones, I'm wondering if will the radio function will work without the cord???????????????
Thanx, Mz Molly

No, it will not.

WebLogic Admin Console won't work with java security manager enabled.

By just enabling the security manager on the command line with -Djava.security.manager and using the default weblogic.policy in the server/lib directory, the admin console will not work. I just see a blank page when I try to access the admin console with permission errors all over on the server console.
In looking at the admin console's weblogic.xml it should have access to everything since it contains:
grant {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
Are there known issues with this? If I add this permission to the weblogic.policy file everything works fine but then I might as well not turn on the security manager.
Thanks,
Dave

David,
I was glad to see your post regarding WLS 9.2 and the troubles with enabling Java Security Manager.
Were you able to learn any more on things like - why doesn't the admin console work when the security manager is enabled with the default policy file. Also, why is it so difficult to add permissions for your own applications and get them to actually work.
I'd be curious to see if you were able to get it to work or if you have any insights or resources that can help with this as we are really struggling to get a restrictive policy file that works.
Thanks,
D

Ichat works with wireless, but not ethernet

Just moved into new office and bought new iMac. I can get internet with ethernet or wireless, but iChat works only over wireless. This is true with my intel Macbook as well. Is this a port or firewall problem, and if so, why would wireless work, but not ethernet?

Who is supplying the wireless internet connection?
Who is supplying the wired internet connection? If
it's two different entities, the IT Secret Police may
be blocking ports on the wired side.
TimeWarner comes in from the outside, but a private contractor is involved in the setup of the wireless which is connected to the TW modem. But if the wireless goes into the TW cable, why does it work as wireless, but not directly plugged in? It is as if converting the signal to wireless cures the problem.

FaceTime works with Jawbone Icon headset

Hi,
I can confirm that the Jawbone Icon headset works with facetime.
I was surprised to see the bluetooth icon replace the mute button on the bottom left side of the screen during a call When I pressed it, it gave me a selection of sources, which included the headset.
To think i actually purchased the Bose MIE2i just for facetiming. Haha
But the use of a bluetooth headset during facetime calls really make a huge difference!

On the icon, turn it off and hold button down while sliding the power switch on. This should put it in pairing mode. Then go into your i4's bluetooth menu and give it another go. Also, Jawbone has recently updated the firmware for the Icon so you need to load it as well. I have the icon and a Jabra cruiser and both work/paired fine. You may want to try rebooting phone and retrying as well.
