HT1218 i have a windows 8 computer that is not connecting with my time capsule wifi. my other macs and windows 7 systems do connect. is this a firmware update glitch? any suggestions?

I have a windows 8 computer that is connecting poorly via wifi and my Apple time capsule to the internet. My IMac an another windows 7 based computer are connecting fine. This started 6 days ago. And, the windows 8 machine connects well via a hard Cat-5 connection to the time capsule (I'm using that now) and worked well on a wireless netgrear system over the weekend.
I'm thinking an automatic firmware update may have caused this or perhaps i need the time capsule to use something other than a default address. Those are just guesses, but I could sure use some help. Thank you.

It is hard to figure where the issue is..
Certainly if windows updated the wireless driver that can mess things up no end..
What update happened 6days ago?
What TC do you have.. ?? If it is flat one and you updated to 7.6.4 do a factory reset and reconfigure.
If that doesn't work roll the firmware back to 7.6.1 or even 7.5.2 as these are generally superior to windows.
There is no update for TC gen5 yet.

  • I have a 3rd Generation iPod that will not connect to Home Wi-Fi- keeps dismissing- saying unable to connect.

    I have a 3rd Generation iPod that will NOT connect to our internet connection at home. Message on screen keeps saying it is 'unable' to connect. Yes I have already reset to default factory settings, No we do not have our service encrypted or password protected, anyone else have any other viable suggestions as to how to fix this problem?

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Does the iPod see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iPod connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

  • We have an old titanium PowerBook that will not connect to our AirPort Extreme network. What gives.

    We have an old titanium PowerBook that will easily connect to any WiFi cafe or hotel network, but will not connect to our AirPort Extreme network. What gives.
    When the Apple Tec. installed our network for our 3 iMAXs, he couldn't it to connect either. Of course our two iPads have no trouble connecting.
    We are also having trouble getting it to upgrade from OS 10.5.8 to 10.6, even though I have a Snow Leopard up date family pack.

    What is your Wireless Security setting on the network?  Since you are running Leopard, I may not have the desired answer, but some of the Airport-equipped laptops, like the TiBooks, are said not to support all of the settings.  I have an AE network which supports b and g, with "WPA2 Personal" settings and the TiBooks connect with that one OK with 811.b Airport.
    Oh, and no way to upgrade beyond 10.5.8 Leopard for PPC machines like the Titanium G4 Powerbooks, as 10.6 and above require Intel processors.
    EDIT: I didn't notice this, but the TiBooks may be connecting with WPA encryption on my network, as I have the following display on my settings:

  • I don't want to have firefox 4. I want to go back to firefox 3. How do I do that? I have a program that I use on my computer that is not compatibale with firefox 4 and is with firefox 3.

    I use a program called Digital Persona Personal. It stopped working when Firefox updated from 3 to 4. I have tried everything to get it to work. I went to the website of Digital Persona and asked for help but they said that there is no fix for this and they no longer work with clientele like us only business's now. I really need to use this program as I have a very bad memory problem and don't remember usernames and passwords very well. That is why I have a computer with a fingerprint reader. So, you see I really need your help in going back to Firefox 3.

    You're welcome

  • Several times a day my Firefox (version 29) aborts and restarts. It's been doing this since version 18. Any suggestions?rtio

    I have tried clearing the cache and everyrhing else that that has been suggested. I have used Firefox for over 10 years, but I am sufficiently disgusted that I am considering switching to something else (other than IE of course, maybe Opera)

    Took a while but here goes!
    The information above would be super useful so please post it :)
    Looking into it, I have a few questions and suggestions<br>
    1. Do you have any AVG extensions installed? If so, please uninstall them.<br>
    2. It looks like the majority of your crashes are from pgdns8.dll which is traced back to Keyware, Inc which uses this file as part of their software Action Alert Parental Controls. Can you try to either update that software, or allow it through AVG's Firewall or Windows Firewall so it can get through correctly and see if that fixes the crashes with the addition of uninstalling any AVG extensions.
    Behind the scenes, what I think happened, is that your Keyware tried to open up a Windows Socket (related to your other crash report pgdns8.dll@0x3231), AVG flagged it as malware, AVG made Firefox crash.

  • I have an Airport Extreme, I want to replace it with a Time Capsule.  I swapped my cables to the new TC, unplugged both Cox Cable modem and Airport Extreme.  Started up by plugging A/C power for Cox Cable modem, then power to TC.  Result is blinking amber

    I tried unplugging again and restarting the TC first, still gets blinking amber light.  I even reset the TC because I was using it for backups only in the network, I just want to move it to the primary position.  I don't even get the option of starting a new network.
    I need help.

    Blinking amber light is not the issue.. that will involve lots of issues due to your reset.
    Make sure you have a computer plugged into the TC by ethernet.. do not do setups over wireless.
    Even if you need to do the setup in complete isolation that doesn't matter.. it will work when you return it to the network.
    Do a full factory reset.. I am not sure what resets you have done up to now.. full factory means you hold in reset before applying power.. and keep holding in reset until the front led flashes rapidly. About 10sec.
    The TC must be in router mode if your cable modem is only a modem.. but I don't know if your cable modem is pure modem or modem router.. if the later then the TC should be in router bridged mode.
    Once you have that right.. plug it back into the modem if you had to remove it..
    Power cycle again if you need to. It can take 15min or more of modem off to reset the cable setting for MAC address.
    Then you can setup wireless, although you can also do it whilst connected by ethernet which is usually better.
    What airport utility are you using.. the latest one is too automatic.. stop any attempt to automate the setup and do it manually if you get stuck.
    Even use the old utility is sometimes better.. 5.6 can be loaded even on Mountain Lion with a bit of a fiddle.

    Hello Edward,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The password you are being prompted for when installing content on your Mac is your computer's administrator password.  It might be the same as your login password, but it could be different.  If you need to reset your administrator password please follow the instructions in the link below.

  • Hello. I have downloaded my saved configuration from my Time Capsule to my new mac and now I have 2 libraries. Which one should I delete

    Libraries that run my Mac I mean. One is located: Macintosh HD/Library (7,58 Go), the other is located: Macintosh HD/System/Library (6,32 Go) this one is the most recent
    Thank You

    You definitely need to resurrect the old password associated with the Apple ID you used to purchase the music.
    Go here: https://iforgot.apple.com
    An email will be sent to the email address associated with that account with instructions regarding resetting that Apple ID's password.
    If you no longer have access to that email, the resolution to this problem becomes considerably more difficult. In that event you would need to contact iTunes Support and explain your dilemma.

  • I have a current 2TB Time Capsule. I would like to add more ethernet ports for needed expansion. Will an Airport Extreme conflict with the Time Capsule for needed ethernet ports and will wireless from both units conflict?

    I own a current 2TB Time Capsule and I need to expand my network system to include more ethernet (wired) ports. I am considering an Airport Extreme that would give me enough wired ports. Will the wireless capabilities of both units conflict with each other? I only need one wireless network. Thank you for any help.

    While you could certainly add an AirPort Extreme to provide additional Ethernet ports, you could also save about $150 by purchasing an inexpensive switch, such as one of these:
    http://www.amazon.com/D-Link-DGS-1005G-5-Port-Gigabit-Desktop/dp/B003X7TRWE/
    http://www.amazon.com/TRENDnet-Unmanaged-GREENnet-Auto-Negotiation-Auto-MDIX/dp/ B001QUA6R0/
    Consumer grade Ethernet switches typically come in five and eight port configurations. Just be aware that a five port switch only conveys the ability to add three additional devices. An eight port switch conveys the ability to add six additional devices.
    An 8 port switch provides twice the capacity of a 5 port switch for considerably less than twice the cost. The price difference between the two is often only $10 or so.
    I just checked, the 8 port version of the Trendnet switch above costs exactly $4 more.
    An AirPort Extreme is a very flexible full featured wireless router, and would provide three additional LAN ports for wired devices. If all you need is a few more ports though, it's overkill.

  • I have a 3rd generation ipod that will not connect. I keep getting an error message that says "USB Device Not Recognized".  I have tried 3 seperate cables and none of them are working.  Please help!

    It keeps telling me that one of the USB devices for this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it.  I have tried all of the ports and still am not having any luck.  I have purchased 3 brand new cables and none of them are working.  I have tried to update the driver but it says I am using the most up to date.  I have tried to reset the Ipod by holding the center button and menu button until the apple appears.  I am not sure what else to try.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  My computer is Windows Vista!

    Hello butterflygirlie,
    Have you tried uninstalling the driver for your iPod from within Device Manager?  After uninstalling it, go ahead and unplug your iPod and plug it back in.  Doing so should cause your system to locate the proper driver for it.
