HT1218 My AirPort Utility is showing that it's not connected.  It has been working fine.  What do I do?  I've checked my internet connections and they are working.

My AirPort Utility is showing that it's not connected to the internet.  It has been working fine until now.  I am connected and can't figure out why it's saying this.  Please help!

Hello utfan5
Try resetting up the AirPort base station to see if it resolves the connectivity issue. Also make sure you are using the recommended settings to connect to the internet.

  • My system won't connect to server after showing that update for 29.0.1 has been accepted

    I receive notice that an update to 29.0.1 is available and have for a week or so. When I install the update a window opens that shows a progress bar that continues to respond, as progress message shows.. connecting to server. I have waited for up to 10 minutes with no change to progress. When checking with mozilla my system shows that I have the latest version. These updates are for security purposes and I need to know if there is a problem or if my system is at risk. Is this update notice a glitch?

    Its because, your firefox not update the version. the best way to solve this issue is clean reinstall
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • TS3274 My daughters ipad has stopped downloading new apps, we tried to download some new ones this week and they are just showing as "waiting", we deleted all her games to see if it was a memory issue but they are still showing as waiting.

    We have tried to download some new free games for my daughter this week, there are three which are just showing as "waiting" and not downloading at all and its been almost a week.
    I deleted all her previous games thinking it might somehow free them up but it has not helped.
    please help i am getting nagged!

    If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

    Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
    If that doesn't work:
    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
    • Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
    • After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

  • My iPod touch is plugged into PC. My iPod is shown, but when I drag content from iTunes library to it I end up with an error message that says it "Cannot copy item" then "The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected."  What to do???

    Yes you can drag and drop music to the iPiod if you select Manually Manage Music and Videos in  iTunes.

    When you erased the disk did you select Mac OS Extended Journaled as the format option?

  • Airport utility only shows disc and not airplay

    airport utility only shows disc and not airplay

    Actually......IF......one is using an older 5.x version of AirPort Utility......AND.....an AirPort Express, a Music icon is displayed at the top of the screen. If you click the Music icon, there are settings to enable AirPlay and establish a password for the service.
    The newer Mac 6.x and iPad and iPhone versions of AirPort Utility automatically enable AirPlay, but display no settings for this.
    Since ralphington is using Mavericks (10.9.4), there are no controls for AirPlay displayed in his version of AirPort Utility.

  • I have an old Airport Extreme that I want to password protect. I being told that Airport Utility 5.6 is needed to manage the base station. When I download it and try to install that utility I told that it is not compatible with OS X 10.7.4

    The odds are that you downloaded AirPort Utility 5.6.1.....which will only work with Leopard and Snow Leopard Macs.
    Since your post indicates that you are using Lion 10.7.4, you need the correct utility for Lion. The link is below:

  • Airport Utility Sometimes shows Solid Line, Sometimes Dotted

    I have a wifi network comprising of the following:
    Apple Time Capsule receives internet connection from Fibre Optic Modem. Time Capsule has an Airport Extreme connected via a wired connection and an Airport Express connected wirelessly. Both the Extreme and Express are set up in Bridge Mode to extend the existing network to different areas of the house.
    I am experiencing what appears strange and confusing to me so am seeking your support. When I am in the room where the Airport Extreme is, Airport Utility shows the Extreme as linked to the Time Capsule via a solid line (ie. a wired connection which it is). When I move into another area of the house, Airport Utility then shows the Airport Extreme as connected via a dotted line (ie a wireless connection which it is not).
    What does this mean? I have two devices hardwired to the Extreme to ensure a reliable connection for them.
    Many thanks,
    Pierre

    I would say the utility is simply failing to see the network correctly.. this is not uncommon.. and as you go to later OS it gets worse..
    I am constantly battling to keep my Airport Utility to show the network and I pretty much ignore it if it shows it wrongly or more commonly not at all..
    I find a change of the computer from 2.4ghz to 5ghz (since I have named the two wireless bands differently I can control it better).. I will see the utility instantly jump back to life.. even though there was nothing wrong beforehand and internet was working perfectly it still refuses to show the network.
    If you run Yosemite.. expect it to be much worse.. Mavericks at least still has a working DNS system.

  • Using Airport Utility, OS X Yosemite sometimes does not find my airport extreme and my iphone 6 with 8.1 does find it.  Is anyone else experience this glitch?  Also I couldn't log on to Apple Support... Thanks

  • Hi, I am trying to connect a WD Mybook for Mac to my airport/time machine device.  On the AirPort Utility it listed under Disks at 0 Mb.  I enabled file sharing.  But nothing happens.  If I plug it directly into my MacBook it works fine.  How do I fix it?

    I am trying to connect a WD Mybook for Mac to my airport/time machine device.  On the AirPort Utility it listed under Disks at 0 Mb.  I enabled file sharing.  And also followed all the steps - "secured disk access: with a disk passord", "Airport disk guest access: read and write", "Share disks over WAN". But nothing happens.  If I plug it directly into my MacBook it works fine.  How do I fix it?  Also, its connected via a powered usb hub.

    I assume that you are using  Mac operating system 10.4.11, as your profile indicates.
    The instructions that you referenced are for use with AirPort Utility....not AirPort Admin Utility.
    Suggest that you download and install AirPort Utility 5.4.2 for Mac , which will run on 10.4.11.
    Also noticed that the instructions do not tell you that the hard drive should be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) to work with the AirPort Extreme, but they should.

  • I have 100's of CDs that I have downloaded to my itunes library and they are in the library playable but they do not show up in the C drive under the iTunes Music folder under users.  Why are they in the libary and not in the itunes music folder. Win 7 OS

    I have 100's of CDs that I have downloaded to my itunes library and they are in the library playable but they do not show up in the C drive under the iTunes Music folder under users.  Why are they in the libary and not in the itunes music folder. Win 7 OS.  When I look in the library under the get info screen it says they are in the folder itunes music, under the c: drive but when I actually go to that folder to look for them they are not there....HELP!

    Hello RumDog,
    I think this article will help you find the media in your library.
    Where are my iTunes files located?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
    Discovering and changing the iTunes Media folder location
    Note: You would usually only change the iTunes Media folder location to share music between accounts on the same computer. See this article for specific steps on how to accomplish this. Also, see this article if you want to know how to move your music to a new computer.
    Mac OS X: Click the iTunes menu and choose Preferences.
    Windows: Click the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
    Click the Advanced pane. iTunes displays the location of your iTunes Media folder.
    You can then:
    Note where your media folder is, such as for backing up your media.
    Use the Reset button to reset it's location to the default (which is the iTunes folder).
    Click the Change button to select a folder for a new location. Once you change this location:
    If you make a new or alternate iTunes library, the new location will be used by that library.
    Existing files will not be moved unless you choose File > Library > Organize library and choose the option to "Consolidate files."

    Hi
    I am experiencing wireless connection problem on 4s after ios 8.1 upgrade. The wireless icon appears showing that it's connected but webpages do not load. I have checked my internet connection with other devices and seems to be alright. what to do?
    I have tried reseting the network settings and forgetting my wireless connection and re-connecting to it. I even backed up my phone on itunes and restored it, factory reseted it. Nothing seems to work.
    Also after my upgrade to ios 8.1 my personal hotspot option under cellular data has disappeared.
    Would you please help me out? I would really appreciate it.

    Hi..
    Restart your router then restart the iPhone to test.
