Having issues with multiple devices connecting to AirPort

Hello All
I'm having an issue when people come to visit. It seems my network goes haywire once they get here with their devices.
My network consits of an Airport Extreme and two Airport Expresses connected to a cable modem. On the network I have two iMacs, Mac Pro, two TiVos, Xbox 360, Foscam Secutity camera, two iPad minis, iPod, iPhone 4S and an iPhone 3GS. They are all connected to the main network login.
When guests come over, most weekends my girl and her daughter, they have two iPhones, and iPad 2 and an iPad mini. Once they get here, we all seem to get knocked offline. Some devices stay connected at times, but most, if not all, get knocked offline. I assumed it was something wrong with one of their devices. They connect with the Guest login.
This weekdend we had some friends visiting and my girl and her daughter were not here. These friends showed up with two iPhones, a MacBook Pro, an iPad mini, iPod and a kindle. Same thing happended...all knocked off line. They also connected with the Guest login.
Are there limits to the number of devices? If so, I wouldn't think I am hitting that limit, could it be that low?
Thank you in avance for any input or assistance.
Cooch

I have the Express units that look like a white AppleTV. Not the ones that plug directly into the wall, they have a power cable. I believe they are 2nd Generation.
Yes, those would be 2nd generation Express base stations and they should be able to support up to fifty wireless connections.
Are both of these connected back to the Extreme with a wireless or wired connection? Regardless of which are they both configured to extend the Extreme's Wi-Fi range?
I am assuming that you have this network configured to also support a guest network ... correct?
The Extreme is not the latest tall one, it's the one just before they released the new one.
That should make your Extreme a 5th generation model, which is just fine.
Do the Express devices count as wireless connections?
Yes.
Even if I include the Express devices, I have 14 connections. If two people come to my home with two devices each, I am still under 20 connections. All Airports and devices are on the same level of the house, approximately 1000 square foot area, with open doors into every room.
Yes, according to the number of devices you stated, this should work.
The only idea I have at this time is to temporarily disable the guest networking feature. Once done, see if you still have the issue. Do you?

Bb 9860 sku2 having issue with mobile ntwk connection

I have BB9860 unlocked phone bought thru rim employee. It worked fine with Chatr carrier gsm voice only. Now, it gave me 507 error. i reload the software from SaskTel, and device bootup fine. but never able to connect to cellular ntwk anymore. i tried videotron carrier OS download as well, same issue. The device shows in the desktop manager as CDMA device for radio type. How can I make it to work for GSM voice?
I tried rogers OS load and not going thru, since it didn't show OS to be loaded, i beleive due to same verision detected. I deleted the vender.xml file before every OS load. Please help.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
The only difference in loading different carriers OS packages is that each may have a different version. Loading the exact same version from different carriers will not result in anything different.
The 9860 has multiple band capabilities...but you must set that in the Manage Connections area. But...

That is a bit odd, since from all I understand the 9860 does not even have a CDMA radio...the 9850 does, but not the 9860. Refer:

http://www.gsmarena.com/blackberry_torch_9850-4088.php
One might almost wonder exactly what device you have...you might want to talk to whoever provided it to you, perhaps it's some sort of non-standard hybrid or engineering-only device, and therefore might require very special handling not available to the general public.
Good luck!

Sync issues with multiple devices

I have an iPhone 4 and an iPad mini associated with a single account. I just want to sync both the devices in such a way that a few utitlity apps need to be on the phone while the games need to be installed on iPad. However each time i sync the iPad i get list of apps pre checked with the phones settings so this will make the iTunes to copy all phone apps to iPad. I dont want this to happen.
I tried creating a seperate library but now im not able to see list of apps i downloaded previously. My question - is it possible to have a single library(to probably save some disk space) for two devices running under same account but only difference in sync settings. So that i time i connect a device it should know what to sync and what not to.

I'm having trouble with multiple speaker connections in iTunes?

Home network running through a Time Capsule:
1. MacBook
2. Apple TV (Living Room)
3. Apple TV (Bedroom)
4. AirPort Express (Connected to speakers in Kitchen)
Issue:
In iTunes I can see and play muisic through all my Apple TVs and the AirPort Express station. However, when I want to connect to multiple speakers (locations) The only two iteams that show up are a single Apple TV (bedroom) and the computer. I can't figure out why my AirPort Express or the other Apple TV (Living Room) will not show up? All my devices have the most recent updates, and function properly as far as connectiong and playing music individualy.
Can anybody help me figure out why the second Apple TV or AirPort Express won't show up in the "mulitple speaker" selection dialog box?
Cheers,
Acolle

Now my new issue is they are not perfectly synchronized from station to station! What a bummer!
I wonder if the older Airport Express, hooked up to my kitchen speakers only, with a differerent network performance profle than the new Apple TVs, is to blame?

Is anybody else having issues with Software Update Server offering Airport Utility 6.1?

Running 10.7.3. Everything else is hunky dorry, but no matter what I do, I can't get this update to show up to clients.
Settings are set to:
NOT automatically copy and updates from Apple (but this update shows the blue circle reflecting it's copied)
NOT automatically enabled copied updates (but this update has the checkbox enabled)
DELETE outdated software updates (I had previosly been struggling with Choose Version, but this seems to obviate the need for that)
I've stopped swupd, removed the update, updated the catalog, re-enabled. The catalog updated, the file re-downloaded, but still.... won't show up to clients.
Is this update (Airport Utility 6.1) working for anyone else? Could it be a global issue related to this update, or is this just another instance of swupd flakiness?

You can still use iDVD even though Apple doesn't support it. It still works like a champ.
A lot has changed in the new iMovie. Some of the changes are good, but some not so much. My biggest problem is that the video quality of shared projects is INFERIOR to the old iMovie. So for now, I've gone back to the old version. Hopefully Apple will issue an update that will fix this.

FaceTime issues with multiple devices & one account

I have an iPhone 5s, an iPad Mini and 2 iPod Touch devices, all on the same account and Apple ID. Is there any way to iMessage or FaceTime from one device to ONE other device(not all of them)? Thanks!

You can create another Appleid and use it only for FaceTime and/or messages on 1ipad.
In this manner you can maintain a parent account for all and have child accounts for messaging only.
You would simply log out of messages and log in with new id

Is anyone else having issues with Pencil 53 connectivity?

I had updated adobe draw, was kind of excited to use it for the first time since it launched but my Pencil is just not working. On 53s website they say that it should be supported for erase, pressure sensitivity and palm rejection. My pencil will connect, but that's as far as it goes. Help?

I recommend double-checking the following:
Tap the stylus icon in the top right of the sketch window to bring up the stylus panel, and verify that Adobe Draw believes that Pencil 53 is connected.
If Pencil 53 is not connecting, try using the Paper by 53 app first to pair the Pencil to your iPad.
To turn on/off palm rejection, tap the Palm Preferences line in the stylus panel. This should show you a screen with a palm rejection toggle switch.
With the Pencil 53 properly connected, using the eraser end give identical behavior as selecting the eraser tool itself.
Hope that helps,
Frank

Is anyone having issues with bluetooth phone connectivity with iOS6 upgrade in a VW?

Any voice commands made through the car end up in "call history"

The problem is that you're using an uncertified lightning to 30-pin connector (the blue cable). If you purchase the 30-pin to lightning cable (either online, at an Apple store or an authorized dealer) it should work fine.
I have a 2011 Tuscon and tried the lightning to USB cable that came with the phone - no dice. Talked to my local Hyundai dealer and they don't have an eta on the Hyundai lightning cables (I'm sure it's in the works).

$29 in the US store, $45 in Canada (yes, even though our dollar has been par for years)

Having issues with IPod Touch connecting

I have the IPod touch and I just got the WRT110 wireless router, but everytime I try to connect the touch it says unable to join network. Does anyone know how to fix?

How do I find what my WEP is, and where do I put that into the Ipod Touch - when it asks for the password?

Is iphone 4 having issues with Blue tooth?. I have checked four iphone brand new sets from different location. Not detecting other devices

Is iphone 4 Having issues with Blue Tooth connectivity ? Last saturday i have bought up iphone 4, when i checked that device blue tooth was not detecting the other iphones. I went to apple store in Ottawa. They checked with their Mac computers. They said Yes this iphone is having problem. Please exchange it on the store you bought up. I have exchanged that iphone with brand new, again same issues...
iPhone is not detecting other devices with Blue Tooth. I have checked with other two. they having same problem.
Please tell me, What apple gonna do with my iphone now ? Should i keep it ? or cancel my contract with cell phone company. As i am sure they not going to replace it again or gonna make excuses.
Waiting for replies [email protected]

I have upgraded my iphone 3 to a 4. I just recently discovered that while the iphone 3 automatically discovers bluetooth but the iphone 4 does not (couldn't discover any bluetooth). My bluetooth is Jabra SP200. It turned out, there are other steps to take with the bluetooth device to pair with the iphone 4. As stated, iphone 3 detected it automatically. But w the iphone 4, I had to press and hold the answer button of the Jabra for it to pair with iphone 4. Call the bluetooth manufacturer directly and check with their alternative pairing procedures.
Hope this helps.

Is anyone else having issues with their I Phone 5 running ios 6.1?

As stated above: Is anyone else having issues with their I Phone 5 running ios 6.1?
I am having issues with the WiFi connection to my AT&T router and voice recognition.
It wont make post to Facebook half of the time. It is lacking the option to post videos to Facebook, only to mail, message, and You Tube. And finally the voice recognition messes up what it types in both Siri and messages.

Not having any of those.

I am having issues with my iphone6 bluetooth connection in my car. When going to settings under bluetooth, it is unable to find any devices. I did not have this issue until I downloaded IOS 8.0.2. Do you know if there has been any resolution yet?

I am having issues with my iphone6 Bluetooth connection in my 2013 Mercedes C Class. When going to settings under Bluetooth, it is unable to find any devices. I did not have this issue until I downloaded IOS 8.0.2. Do you know if there has been any resolution from Apple yet?

Hi susan from WSL,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that when your Bluetooth accessories, such as your car connection, do not work as expected it can be very frustrating. In this situation, I would recommend working through the troubleshooting steps provided in the attached article.
If you can’t use a Bluetooth accessory or car kit
