How can i use an airport base station and multiple airport expresses with U-verse and still use wireless tv boxes?

I just got uverse, and when I put my Airport Base Station in Bridge mode I lose access to the 4 airport express stations I have. Can anyone tell me how to turn off the u-verse wireless, set up a network with all the apple stations and still have wireless u-verse tv boxes work? Thanks!

Can I relocate the airport base station to downstairs and connect it to the Sawtooth there for receiving wireless from the Verizon router and broadcast further to its wireless network?
Sorry but no the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) will not wirelessly connect to the network provided by the Verizon FiOS router.
What you could do is get another AEBS, an AX, or a Time Capsule and place that downstairs. Then use that device to wirelessly connect to the wireless network provided by your current AEBS. If your current AEBS is not 802.11n capable then you would need to use WDS to make this happen. One bad thing about WDS is that each WDS link cuts your affective wireless bandwidth in half.

How can I sync my iphone to my home computer (to sync with itunes music) AND my work computer (to sync with Outlook calendar)?

Sorry iphones are meant to be sync to one iTunes media library.
You could copy your music and put it on your work computer and then sync it.
If you try to sync to one and then sync to other its going to wipe the phone and remove the old sync with the new sync.

Airport Base Station without the airport card

In a WDS, how can I force a satellite base station to connect directly to the main station

I have 2 Airports Extremes (Call them A and B) and a Time Capsule set up in a WDS. All are recent vintage at V 7.6.1 firmware. Airport A is the main base station connected to the internet via ethernet to a cable modem. The satellites, Airport B and the Time Capsule, are in opposite corners of the house. Airport A is in a media closet in the middle of the downstairs, Airport A is on the east end of the house, about 40 ft away, with a wood door and drywall wall in between. The Time Capsule is on the west side of the house, with just the floor/ceiling in between it and Airport A.
When the WDS is functioning normally (most of the time), both satellites connect directly to the main station, and Airport Utility describes each connection as Excellent. But at least once a day, one of the satellites will connect to the other satellite, not directly to the main station. When this happens, Airport Utility describes the connection as Good or Average and my online throughput decreases by about 5 fold in both directions. The only thing that works every time to get it back to it's proper setup is restarting all three, which is really a pain.
Is there any way to force the satellites to connect directly to the main station?

So is it possible to connect a non-USB Mac to an
Aiport network through the ethernet port in any way?
Yes
Using something like the Linksys Ethernet Wireless Bridge WET54G.

How can i transfer my iTunes library from old computer to new with all artwork and tags intact?

Is it possible to just copy the iTunes folder on my Windows PC from the old computer to a hard drive and then to the new Mac Book, and have the library look the same? Importing the files using the "add folder to library" function results in many files coming up with "unknown artist" and/or "unknown album." But I didn't think just copying the iTunes folder from one computer to the other would work, without somehow also using the "add folder to library" function.
I know there are other questions on site (one by me, actually), but I was hoping for any more information. Many thanks, in advance.

FYI, just in case anyone sees this and has the same problem, I posted another question beginning with the words "How can I get all music "tags" to transfer . . . " which outlines a solution. Good luck to anyone with the same issue - the transfer can be done!

My Airport base station has a status message that says "This AirPort base station doesn't have any DNS server addresses and might have trouble connecting to the internet." What does this mean and how can I fix it?

My internet is still working, but it's very intermittent. This happened after I updated the firmware a few days ago.

Did you remember to completely power cycle the entire network?
You would want to do this after any update or change to the network.
If you did not do this yet......things are out of sequence.
Power off everything on the network.....all devices.....power down order is not important
Wait a few minutes
Start the modem first and let it run a minute or two by itself
Start the next device connected to the modem the same way
Work your way out on the network starting each device about a minute apart
Check the network

Can I buy any wifi base station for an airport extreme card?

At my mom's house, there is no wifi, so I was thinking of buying an aebs. but I was wondering if I can buy any wifi base and if it will work with my mac?

The Ethernet output of the modem should be connected to the WAN port on the AEBS.
...and the modem doesnt have a WAN port, but it has two wifi plugs on the top.
"wifi plug"... what is that?
If these other computers don't have a wireless capability, connect an Ethernet switch (or hub) to the AEBS's LAN port. Then connect these other computers to the Ethernet switch (or hub).

How can I import images from my camera to my external drive instead of Mac, but still use IPhoto?

I would like to preserve space on my new Mac and import photos from my camera to my external drive instead of my Mac, while still being able to use Iphoto. Not sure how to specify this.

Move your Library to the Extnernal Disk -
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Then import as normal.
Regards

my tv is a widescreen HDTV. it has a DVI-D port and RCA red and white audio inputs. i can purchase a HDMI to DVI-D cable. the only issue that i have to sort out is the audio. so, what converter do i need to convert from digital audio to analog?

Can you reset the password for my airport base station?

I am trying to connect my Airport Extreme to my new modem and i need to open the Airport utility to see what the problem is however i do not have the password to the Airport base station. Apparently it is not the wireless password that i set previously set up.

If you have a Mac that can connect to your wireless network and you're using an Apple AirPort Base Station, then simply use AirPort Utility. From the Base Station menu, select Show Passwords...
If you don't have a Mac, reset your wireless network password by momentarily depressing the reset button on your AirPort Extreme, Express, or Time Capsule. Press the button for one full second, no more. Then, configure a new password using AirPort Utility.
If you can't connect to your wireless network, or you are not using an Apple AirPort Base Station, you can use the procedure that follows below to retrieve it from your Mac's Keychain.
Your wireless network password is stored in your Mac's Keychain.
You must first have an Administrator account on a Mac that you use with that AirPort Base Station, one that is used to connect to your AirPort network.
On that Mac, open the Utilities folder. Find Keychain Access and launch it.
In the search field at the upper right, type Airport. All the Keychain entries for your base station will appear there, as well as other entries.
Look at the column "Kind". The entry you want to select will be labeled "AirPort network password" (not "AirPort base station password" or anything else).
If you are trying to recover the AirPort Base Station password then the entry you want to select will be labeled "AirPort base station password" not "AirPort network password".
Double-click that, and in the window that appears check the box for "Show password".
You will get the following window:
In the Password field type your Mac's Administrator password - the same one you used to log in to that Mac.
Then, click Allow, and your wireless network password will appear in the "Show password" field:
Make note of it.
Close the window, then quit Keychain Access.

Losing connection with safari using airport base station

Airport base station. Frequently loses connection with safari, even though the station shows green. Same problem with all our devices, IMac, MacBook Pro, IPads, Iphone etc. However, disconnect not at the same time, some devices works, others don't.

HT1218 I recently updated from O.S. 10.6 to Mountain Lion and had additional memory installed. Now I can't get my wireless printer to print wirelessly. I went to Airport utilities as suggested above, but it says it can't locate any airport base station.

I just updated from OS 10.6 to Mountain Lion. My HPC4780 wireless all-in-one will not print wirelessly, even though it indicates it is getting a wireless signal. I followd the "airport base station firmware updates" suggestions, but my computer can't detect an airport base station, even though I am looking at it, and the light is green like it is supposed to be. The printer works if I connect it, but won't print wirelessly. Any ideas? I am trying to learn Mountain Lion's ins and outs.

Airport Base Station - setting up base station to already existing network

Hello,
I just replaced a network switch on the network. Since I did that I am unable to get Internet connection from our main base station in the server room that distributes the IP addresses. I did a reset to the base station and tried to get it to show on the already existing network, but I'm having some issues getting the base station configured with the other base stations on the network. How do I get this main base station to show up on our network?
Right now our other base stations are not getting valid IP addresses. The base station that is setup to distribute IP addresses is getting valid addresses from our provider. If someone could give me any suggestions I would appreciate it.
We are running Apple 10.2.4 on our network.

OK - starts to make sense now. If you did a factory reset of the base station then more than likely the airport network name for it is the Apple default name, and you probably lost the WDS in Wireless Mode.
Do you know the old network name and the network password? Do you know how the other 4 or 5 base stations were configured - ie as a WDS network and whether as relay or remote base stations. You should not need to change anything on these base stations if you know how your AEB (main) was setup in the first place.
One step back from this, you need to confirm that the DSL modem is connecting to your ISP. Connect the ethernet cable from the DSL modem to your Mac and confirm that you can log onto your ISP or internet. If it works then lets go onto the AEB you reset.
Apple publish setup manuals for their AirPort Base Stations - they can be downloaded at: http://support.apple.com/manuals/#airport
1. Reset your AEB to its factory default again.
2. Turn-off the AEB and connect one of its ethernet ports to your Mac by ethernet cable, and connect the DSL modem to the WAN port on the AEB by ethernet cable.
3. Power up your Mac, the DSL modem and the AEB and wait for all to complete their startup sequence. Then open AirPort Utility - you should see your AEB under a generic network name. Click on the AEB.
4. Use the auto setup procedure by clicking 'Continue'. Follow the onscreen instructions for setting up a new network. When asked, use the 'original network name' for your school network. When asked for a network password, use the 'original network password' for your school network (what sort of network security were you using - WPA2 Personal - use whatever you had previously.
5. At some stage you will also be asked to give the AEB a name and admin password - use whatever they were previously.
6. When the setup procedure is complete and the AEB finishes restarting, the AEB will reappear in AirPort Utility. Click on the AEB and click 'Manual Setup'. You may be asked for the admin password to get into the configuration profile.
7. Click on the 'Wireless' tab and set the 'Wireless Mode:' to 'Participate in a WDS network' if not already set to this. While in this pane, look at 'Channel:' - do you remember what this was set to previously (if not, you may need to connect one of the other AEBs by ethernet cable to a Mac and use AirPort Utility to check the Channel setting.
8. Now, click on the 'Internet' icon at the top of AirPort Utility. Check that 'Connection Sharing:' is set to 'Off (Bridge Mode)' - if not, change it.
9. Now, click 'Update' and wait for the AEB to restart.
10. Now, disconnect the ethernet cable from the Mac to the AEB ethernet port.
11. Open Airport Utility, and hopefully, you can now see the AEB and the other 4 or 5 base stations.
Let us know what happens.

Airport base station agent is always running

airport base station agent is always running on my computer and i dont know why. i dont even use a wireless connection. im not in a network. my mac connects to the internet directly through a modem. how can i shut it down.

It can be disabled. Check out the following. I tried it myself and it works in 10.6.3.

None of my airport base stations are picked up by my mac- what c

My macbook pro is running OS X Lion 10.7.5 with all updates up to date. I have itunes running 11.0.1. I have two airport base stations and three airport expresses and one of them has speakers comnnected to it. All the airport kit has a green light on it indicating it is connected to the wireless network but airshare does not pick up the speakers. When I open airport utility 6.1 it doesn't find any of the airport base stations or the airport expresses.
I am assuming that the airport kit needs to be updated with new software but without the mac detecting they are there I don't know how to do this.
Please can anyone help me.

OK, so it's a security issue. My guess is that WEP Transitional, which is available in the 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) setting is not what the PCs want to see.
They need to probably work with either WEP 40 bit or WEP 128 bit ecryption.
These settings are not available in the 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) mode, but they are available in the 802.11 b/g compatible mode. Hold down the option button while you are selecting the Radio Mode and you should see this setting.
For Security, also hold down the option key while you click on the drop down selection box and you will see more choices. Try 128 bit first to see if that will work. The older PC may need to use WEP 40 bit, so that may be the final setting that will work.
Unfortunately, you won't be able to connect with your MacPro at "n" speeds in these settings, but it will be the best available compromise.
