HT201577 I changed the network name on my time capsule and lost my airport express...how do I get it back?

I changed the network name of my time capsule and lost my airport express in the process.... I have tried all of the resets (soft/hard/factory default) suggested in other answers to people but cannot locate the network of my airport express. It just keeps flashing amber. I want to add it back to my time capsule to extend my network as it was before I reset the name. HELP

Which model of AirPort Express do you have?
If you are not sure, the model number is on the side or bottom of the Express. Hard to see.....you may need a magnifying glass. The model number starts with an "A" followed by four numbers.
Post back with that info.......if you want to get the Express set up again to work with the Time Capsule.
You do have another option as well, although you will have to think in reverse on this one.
Change the network name back to the original name on the Time Capsule, so the Express will work correctly on the network.
Now, change the network name on the AirPort Express. It will be blinking amber when you do this, so power it off.
Then, change the network name on the Time Capsule and let it restart.
Now, power up the AirPort Express and it will join up with the Time Capsule network since you have already programmed it with that information.

Would like my macbook pro to only connect to time capsule and not to airport express that is extending network. Is there a way to do this?

I have a network set up with a main time capsule and airport express. The airport express is configured to extend network. While its fine for our iphones and ipad to connect to the express, I would like the Macbook pro to only connect to the time capsule as it seems to run faster. Any way to do this?

You are extending the 2.4ghz.. as that is the only way you can connect iphones.
But if you have Gen2 or later TC you can setup 5ghz to use a different wireless name to 2.4ghz.. and it is much faster.. you need to be close to the TC though.. like in the same room.
Make sure you download 5.6 airport utility if you haven't already.. go to the wireless options and the extra wireless area.. set a different wireless name (SSID in everybody but apple's book). Then you can deliberately select it.

Help with new Airport Extreme (and network name) not recognizing Time Capsule and other Airports in the home

I had a Time Capsule running in an AV Cabinet and it made too much noise as it backed up and ruined soft/quiet music passages (and created far too much warmth as well). So, I visited the local Apple store and the guy I met worked through a few solutions with me. I decided on an Airport Extreme for the audio cabinet, and would move the Time Capsule to another room where it would not create noise interference.
So, I have the Airport up and running perfectly well. I changed my wireless network name and password.
I cannot get the Airport Express and Time Capsule to show up on my network. They both just blink that brown/orange color on the front. When I go to the Airport Utility, it does not pick up the Time Capsule or Airport Express. I have tried unplugging and plugging back in and scanning for devices, but dont know what else to do. Are they still looking for my old network? Is there a way to reset them??
Thanks for any help.

I've tried the option key on both--the AEBS offers 14 options, including Automatic, while the TC offers 8 options, and no Automatic. The AEBS lists (among others) 802.11 a/n-b/g compatible, 802.11 a-b/g compatible, or 802.11 n (5 GHz)-b/g compatible. The TC offers 802.11.n (b/g compatible), 802.11n only (2.4 GHz), and 802.11n only (5 GHz), among others...
I had already followed the instructions in the link you supplied, except that the wireless options don't quite match...
I am currently trying 802.11n (5GHz)-b/g compatible on the AEBS and 802.11 (5GHz) on the TC, which gives me a rate of 270 on my n devices and 54 on my g devices, according to the Airport Utility.
This might be the best I can do, without buying a new TC. Thanks for any advice you can give...

I have a 2nd gen airport extreme (no time capsule) and 2nd gen airport expresses: is there any new additons I can make to my existing network to improve reach and integrity of signal?

I have the older airport extreme and 2 2nd gen airport expresses in a large house. Lately I have been getting complaints about internet "drop out" and weak signal (orange signal - weak network) in one (oddly enough the nearest one to my extreme). What can I do to insure network and internet integrity going forward. Do I buy a new a. extreme and convert the old one (how is also a question)? Do I buy new expresses? (and why) Do I move the original express out of room and get longer internet cable? Extreme is upstairs in a split level and must remain there because of proximity to modem and its connection to security. The "working" express is all the way on the other side of the house through 2 concrete walls and does ok - though signal is understandable week. The nearer one with the "problems" is at the foot of the stairs less than 50 feet away, behind an always closed door (not tested-belongs to teenager voicing complaints). Incidentally the other bedroom directly across from the closed door one, houses a temporary adult child at home who has no problems with their lap top (2nd gen macbook) and signal.

There is no easy answer to your question, but here are some things to think about.
The newest generation of airport extremes and expresses are dual-band devices. they transmit on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies. the 2.4 GHz frequency penetrates walls better than the 5 GHz frequency which is faster in terms of data throughput. they also have improved antennas which may help your signal problems. unfortunately the only way to be sure would be trial and error you can also walk around with a laptop and monitor the signal strength to see where you have dropouts and consider repositioning your express devices to compensate .

It keeps changing the browser window, some programs in one window, others in another. How do I get everything back on the same window? I want this disabled but not sure how to do it, or how I even got it started.

I'm not even sure what to call this or how it got started on my computer. There is one finder window for firefox, and another for other programs etc. I want them all back in the same finder window, please! What feature is this which got things split up, and how do I disable it?
I am using an iMac with OS 10.6.3
Thank you.

The Get Info. fields show up gray if the files is locked and iTunes knows it can't edit the file. Make sure the files are not marked as read only and, if necessary grant both your account and system full access to all files and subfolders of your media folder.
You can set Part of a Compilation for multiple tracks from the Options tab of Get Info.
See Grouping tracks into albums for tips on getting iTunes organized.

HT4718 i have sent all my photo's to the trash bin by a big mistake,and then trashed them also how can i get these back to my albums please

I have sent all my album photo's to the recycle bin and then proceeded to empty the trash bin totally..........what a stupid thing for me to do my only excuse is this apple is all new to me and those photo's were/are so precious to me.
Can anyone tell me how i can retreive them all back..i have no idea what i am doing at all
Senior moment i think

Did you empty the iPhoto trash? (left side bar) If not you should be able to drag them out. If you did empty the iPhoto trash, did you empty the computer trash? If you did then they are most likely gone. You can try something like Data Rescue 3, it may be able to recover some. The software is not cheap.
You can also try a data recovery service, they may or may not be able to recover some for you, but it will be very expensive.
You can also click GO>Go to folder in the menu bar (SHIFT COMMAND G) short cut, and type (or copy/paste) in this and see if there is anything in the trash folder. ~/.Trash then click go, press return
Good luck

OK so I just made a wireless network and using the apple box or whatever. And I want to change the network name. How do I do that?

Just want to confirm that I am also having this issue, The connection is fine, and it is in fact charging (@ 100%)
Everything Rick has said is like an echo to what is happening to me.
I have tried re-installing iTunes, and restarting the Bonjour service, sadly there is no change.
earlier before i updated iTunes it recognised my iPod but said that I had to update iTunes in order for it to work.
So i updated iTunes but now it's not even showing the device anywhere.
In case this helps:
OS: Windows 8.1
iTunes version: 11.3.1.8
Device: 5th generation iPod touch 16GB with ios 7

Changing the network name on my wireless router?

I bought my linksys router a few months ago and did all the setup stuff that day, including changing the network name from the default. I want to change the name to something different, but when I went to the setup address, there was no box in which to put the new network name [I was on the Basic Wireless Settings Tab in the Wireless section]. Help please?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

What is the model number of the router? Access your admin pages again and select wireless tab and then select the MANUAL button. There you will find what you seek (SSID).

How to change the network name and line name on iPad 4?

Could anybody help me how to fix this problem?
Previously I used qb (a mobile network in Cambodia) for my iPad 4 (iOS 7.0.4 non-jailbreak) the network name is qb.
The problem is that after I changed to use SMART (another mobile network in Cambodia) for this iPad the network name is still in QB and the Line name changed to SMART.
I don't know how to fix it now.
I have tried many methods as in restore through iTunes, reset network setting, reset all setting... but I still could not get the solutions.
I do hope to get it fix through all your experience.

Can I change the network name?

Can I change the network name on a newly set up Airport wireless network? I have just set up a new 3Gb Time Capsule and got so involved with trying to make it work that I just accepted the suggested name.

I have a 2Tb in process.
If this means that you are currently backing up data to the Time Capsule, let that process complete before you make any other changes.
I think I can see how to change the network password in 'Keychain'. Is that ok?
No, you change the wireless network password the same way that you would change the wireless network name....using the same window in AirPort Utility that is pictured above.
Simply Edit / backspace out the current password and enter the new password that you want to use. Do the same to Verify and then click Update to save the changes.

The power went out and when it returned the network name and password was lost. I can see the network in my connections and connect to it. How do I get it back to the orginal name and password. I have an HP laptop

Chances are, there was a signficant power surge or voltage fluctuation just before the power went out. This type of thing can cause the AirPort Extreme to reset back to default settings.
If this occurs, your only option is re-configure the device again, just as you did originally.
In order to improve your chances this next time this happens, (especially if you live in an area where thunderstorms are severe), a good quality surge suppressor / voltage limiting power strip will really help, and may save you the entire device or a nearby computer next time something like this occurs.

What's Impact of changing the customer Name(along with Bill To and Ship To) at the header level after book

Dear All,
Revision: 11.5.10.2
We have a case where some of the orders we have created have incorrect customer name along with incorrect Bill To Ship To.
All these orders are booked. And their Line Status is either Awaiting Shipping or Supply Eligible.
What Impact of changing the customer Name(along with Bill To and Ship To) at the header level.
Thanks,
Helen

Hi Helen-Oracle
As said above there should not be an impact if the warehouse on the order before and after changing the customer, ship to and bill to remains same.
Additionally, if the item on-hand qty is sufficient to reserve the item and there is no B2B internal requisition kicked off.
As long as the above conditions are fine, I don't see any impact of changing the customer, bill to and ship to.
Also, you can run a complete wing to wing cycle in case you really want to test the behavior of the system in such scenario.
Please feel free to mark the response as helpful or correct if you think it is helpful and to help people easily find help and answered responses.
Thanks

I have just changed my ISP and they have informed me that i have to change the IP address on my time capsule. Please can someone tell me how todo this? Thanks

This should really be unnecessary but anyway..
If you mean the internal IP of the TC, the it can be changed by changing the dhcp settings.. which is weird.
It looks a bit different in the v6 utility but is easy to do..
See the DHCP beginning address is split into sections.. change the front section from 10.0 to 192.168
Then update the TC.. then you will need to change everything on the network as the IP will need to change.. I recommend you simply turn everything off and then on again in correct order.. modem.. TC.. clients. 2min gap.

I currently have a D-Link DI-604 broadband router with windows computers. How can I add wifi to the network for use with ipad? Can I use AirPort Express?

I currently have a D-Link DI-604 broadband router with windows computers. How can I add wifi to the network for use with ipad? Can I use AirPort Express?

Yes. You can directly connect an 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) using an Ethernet cable. The AXn would then just need to be configured as a bridge to allow the D-Link to continue to provide both NAT & DHCP services for all network clients connected to either router.
In this configuration, the AXn would broadcast a wireless network for your wireless network clients to connect to.
