HT201974 why are some devices connection to the new extreme and others cannot?

I just bought a new extreme after reading some great reviews. But I am experiencing something that makes no sense. I have iPads, iPhones, Roku, Directv and others all usinging WiFi and all but one of the ipads (may be defected as I am bringing it in to apple today) and the directv will connect to my network.
I even tested my already connected devices by "forgetting" the network and restablishing them and they work without fail.
I bought 3 new iPad Air's and 2 connected no problem. The Roku... no problem. Playstation too.
The Direct Tv wifi was connected to the old extreme and worked but now it says, "security code not accepted" yet Iit's the correct code. Also 1 of the 3 iPad air's will not connect either. I did a reboot in recovery mode and reinstalled the IOS and still nothing. I reset the network and still nothing.
Can anyone help? Thanks!

You should manually set the the IP address and address mask in each device/system on your network.
WiFi hotspots will randomly change IP address on everything when you use DHCP inside your NAT network, which is the default.
All of your devices normally use DHCP on your AirPort network to lease an IP address which will expire, and the IP address can change each time a new lease is created. This happens automatically unless you do something to override this feature.
Network gaming systems and Internet phones often stores the addresses from inside your network at the remote end, which will be wrong after DHCP in your AirPort changes the IP address of all of your equipment at your end. You need to sign out/in from each service or re-install to establish a connection after the address changes. The DHCP lease duration default is 7 days.
You can prevent that problem by assigning fixed IP addresses to the equipment inside your network.
You use the AirPort utility to examine the DHCP address range, then select addresses just above the ones DHCP is using. DHCP in AirPort equipment usually uses 10.0.1.1 to 10.0.1.199.
The addresses you need will probably be 10.0.1.201, 10.0.1.202, 10.0.1.203, ... (use a different address for each different device). The address mask will probably be 255.255.255.0 (this is the same for everything).
Best of luck.

  • Why I had no problems with the VZW employees and other people have?

    I think that most people who cannot resolve problems with the VZW have an attitude problem.
    Wise saying:  you can get more with honey than with vinegar.
    Since I “upgraded” my old Samsung Sway to a new Samsung Intensity III, in the past three weeks I spent many hours dealing with the VZW store employees, customer service reps, and tech support people. The phone was replaced two times, and I had no problem getting the replacements.
    The third phone did not working how I expected.
    Today I called VZW customer service and said I don’t need anymore trouble shooting and I wanted find a resolution, which will be satisfactory to both of us. After a short conversation with a customer service rep, I was connected with a tech support. I told him that I don’t need any more trouble shooting on the Samsung Intensity III because I already spent HOURS doing that on three devices.
    We spoke about what the VZW could offer me, about replacements with different phones, etc. Our conversation ended with me offering the resolution that could satisfy me, which was to keep this phone and my account will be credited for the $30.00 “upgrade” fee and I will buy Samsung Sway on eBay. NO PROBLEM. 
    My account was credited and I was advise about the ESN number and activation.
    Why I had no problems with the VZW employees and other people have? The answer is simple. I did not have attitude when I was spoke to them.
    So if you want the problem to be resolved, put your anger in you pocket before you start the conversation. You can say that you are angry, frustrated, etc like I did, but add that you understand that this is not their fault that the manufactures makes a crap phones.

    Yes, you are right. I lost my upgrade. Also, it’s true that I could buy the phone on eBay… if I knew then what I know now. In the past, I never had problem with any of my phones. Doing an upgrade with the VZW was a normal thing for me. I didn’t expect that Samsung Intensity III would be a junk phone.  My last upgrade was 4 years ago. I had $50.00 ‘new every two’ credit on my account, which was used for an upgrade.  I lost the $50.00 credit paying for Samsung Intensity III. Sometimes we learn from our mistakes or from a bad experience. Three weeks ago I did not know that I could buy a phone on eBay and activate with VZW without paying $30.00.
    Samsung Sway is coming from …eBay – keep your fingers crossed for me.

  • Why are some websites, such as the FAFSA (federal financial aid for students) website or the BNY Mellon website, denying access to users running Firefox versions newer than 3.6?

    Why are some websites that are important to many people, such as the FAFSA (federal financial aid for students) website or the Bank of New York Mellon website, not permitting access to computers running Firefox versions newer than 3.6 when Mozilla is claiming that 5.0 is more stable and secure?

    That is a question for those websites to answer. Firefox 4.0 was released almost 4 months ago, IMO more than enough time for those 2 websites to verify that Firefox 4 & 5 are compliant with W3C standards.
    To be able to access that FAFSA website, my advice is to install the Portable Firefox 3.6.19 version to your hard drive. It won't affect your other Firefox installation. <br />

  • Why are you teasing me with the new DVR?

    I'm looking forward to the new guide and adding more storage, so I requested a DVR upgrade.  I got the notification email, except every time I click next I get (I've been trying for weeks, and I supposedly only have a 30 day window):
    "Thank you for your interest, but at this time we cannot complete your request. Please try again later.
    For more information concerning DVR Storage options please visit the Include FiOS TV Central Website. ( http://www.verizon.com/fiostvcentral ) 
    Thank you for using VZ In Home Agent "
    What do I have to do?  It's bad enough I have to pay to get hardware for the latest software on a leased device, but now you won't even let me do that much.
    PS: Sweet profanity filter that blocks acronyms.

    I've been doing this same dance with them for months...   nobody can help, they just connect you to someone else, until you've gone in a big circle.   Tech support says its a problem for Sales...  who says its a problem for their "eSupport" for the site...  who passes you back to Tech support.
    Before I switched to Verizon, i never thought the customer service could be as bad as I had heard it was....  but it is, without a doubt, the worst company I have ever dealt with in 45 years on this earth.
    You are wasting your time in this forum, btw...  nobody from Verizon reads it, nobody from Verizon responds, nobody from Verizon cares.
    PS.  When I originally called about the DVR upgrade, they somehow screwed up my multi-room DVR service with my existing box and now can't fix that either.  They are a joke.  Screw Verizon.

  • Why are some items connected wireless and some are not

    I have Airport extreme and an Airport acting as an extender. I'm using a cable modem connected via ethernet. We have an iMac, iPad, Macbook, 3 iPhones and a Kendle. Some items will be connected to the internet automatically, no problem. But some will not. When I reboot the modem, then the items that previously were not connected now are and the the other items are not. Confusing. I have tried going through Network and Airport Utility, but no help.

    This would appear to be a fault with your modem not with the Extreme. Try calling your ISP for help.

  • Why are some text missing from the right side of a page I send to my printer?  Thanks

    Why is some of the text missing on the right side of a page I send to my printer?

    I came across something similar recently where it printed the left hand side only!
    If I want to print an email, instead of File > Print  ( does not print properly ) I click on the print icon on my email webpage ( do not use applemail and access gmail direct) which then takes me to print preview showing the complete email which prints ok.
    Some webpages ( File>Print) do not print properly and some do. Those that do not generally have their own printer icon (path) that needs to be clicked on.
    Maybe something to do with encryption but don't know.
    Hope this helps in some way.

  • Why are some of my pages centering themselves (vertically and horizontally) after I select the "Shrink document to avoid overwriting..." option under Add Headers and Footers?

    I'm working in Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I added header and footers through Adobe. I needed to select the "Shrink document to avoid overwriting the document's text and graphics" feature under the "Appearance Options..." option within the "Add Header and Footer" window. Some of the pages in my document that only had a few lines of text on them centered themselves (vertically and horizontally). How can I prevent that from happening?

    Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app.  I am certain other applications also need this information.  Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information.  Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!

  • I get a message that my ipad and iphone cannot connect to the iTunes store. I have tried to sync books to my iPad and iphone and i get the message that I cannot connect to the iTunes store and thus cannot sync a book to my books app. Why?

    I get a message that my ipad 2 and iphone 5 cannot connect to the itunes store when I try to sync a book to my book app. Although, when I click "store" both are able to access the itunes store. Why is this? Also I tried to open a book that was synced and a message that I did not have enough memory to load this book popped up--when I know that I have well over 40gb of memory left in my ipad and over 16gb left in my iphone. The message that I cannot connect to the itunes store is strange that it offers no option and I have to hit OK to get out and use my ipad or iphone.

    Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.
    If that doesn't solve it then what has worked for some people is going into Settings > General > Date & Time and changing the date to a few months (or maybe a year or two) in the future and then re-trying

  • Why does some artwork embed into the file, but not others?

    Hey everyone.
    I'm running iTunes 11.3.1. I'm incredibly obsessive about having organised files and one thing in particular I want is album artwork embedded into the music file itself, not just on iTunes. The problem I have is that the artwork will embed for some, and not for others - even if I use the exact same methods:
    I use the following for getting HQ covers: http://bendodson.com/code/itunes-artwork-finder/index.html
    I will then click on the high resolution version, copy it to clipboard, command-i to get info of the individual tracks and manually paste the cover into every track on the album. When I then go into Finder to see if it has embedded, I find that for one album it has worked perfectly; but although I use the exact same method, it won't work for another album even if they're exactly the same file type.
    (I know I can save myself time and select all the tracks, command-i and paste the artwork to do it in one go - but I find I get just as much of a mixed bag. I.e. sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't.)
    I am literally at the end of my tether and I can't figure out what I need to do differently, any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    I have encountered exactly the same problem and frustration :-)
    Although I can't offer a definitive reason why, I did notice that the problem tracks typically had a higher resolution image attached in iTunes. I have used Preview to reduce the resolution to 600 x 600 (standard iTunes size) and it worked.
    Now, I have no idea if it was the resolution or the fact that I was re-saving a fresh version of the JPG (which may have stripped out whatever was causing the problem), but the process of tweaking the file to 600 x 600 and re-saving has worked for me.

  • Why are some of my songs in light grey and have a circle beside them?

    in my itunes a lot of my tunes appear in light grey and have a perforated? circle appearing in the column on the far left side what does that mean

    Are you sure you aren't looking at the tracks in your iPhone/iPod?
    That greyed out and perforated circle thing happens when your iPhone is plugged in, you are looking at the music in it and some songs are physically in your phone (ready to play) and some are in the cloud (you can download to your phone whenever you want).
    I hope this helps

  • Why are colors faded when saving from Photoshop? And other weird things...

    I'm working on a file that's a CMYK default US Web Coated SWOP v2 file. I've tried saving to tiff and jpg from this file and both save faded versions. See below:
    Here's how it looks in PS:
    And as a jpg:
    And then another very bizarre thing... I saved it as a pdf to see how the colors would look and when viewing it in acrobat pro, I saw this:
    ....this is the same exact file as the other 2... Nothing was changed other than saving as pdf... Now I have 2 questions!
    Thanks for your help and expertise,
    Sarah

    If you're not having you images printed professionally in publications why are you editing in CMYK.  Displays and inkjet devices are RGB devices CMYK images need be converted when used on these devices. If in every step color management is used  and all devices calibrated well  colors should be quit consistent however color management is not always used and colors will be off  when color management is not done.  Photoshop is color managed is photoshop the only software you're using for your images. No Image viewers, no browsers, no document application etc.
    Also when I save the above image you state is a jpeg Its save as an png file with some Display color profile.  You need yo look into color management and what you useing as your color setting in Photoshop and hd.ow progile mismatches are handle.
    In fact all three image are png file Color mode is RGB 8bit  all have a display color profile all are different in sizes and at least one has different content. All are different yet you claim they are the same.

  • TS1559 why are 4s's not working with new software and apple won't come good

    I have a iphone 4s with the new update is making my phone slow and the wifi is not working. 200.00 to fix it. I have apple laptop, desktop, 4 iphones two 4s and two 5c's and they will not fix what their update did to my phone. Any feed back to help resolve this would be appreciated. I put it in the freezer( an online solution), restarted it to factory settings, reset my wifi and nothing everyone one says there are many 4s's that are doing this since the new software. Sounds like they just want you to buy new phones and my contract is not up for one year with my provider, I am very frustrated and disappointed.

    No intelligetent person puts electronics in the freezer.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  If none of this resolves, then the device should be taken to Apple for evaluation.
    If Apple determines the device has suffered a hardware failure, they will either replace under warranty (if under warranty) or offer an Out of Warranty replacement.
    So what exactly is the problem?  They offered an Out of Warranty replacement for the defective device.
