HT2497 my airport express no longer sync's up with my airport extreme

Help

A persistent, flashing amber light indicates that any of the several potential conditions may require your attention:
The base station has not yet been configured because it is new, or the reset switch has been set.
You have selected a security configuration that is not recommended.
One of several other conditions, such as a disconnected Ethernet cable or invalid IP address has been detected.
(ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305101)
If you run the AirPort Utility, it will show an amber circle on the summary page next to the area(s) causing the problem. Click on this amber circle and it should provide an explanation. Please post back your results.
Are use using the Express to extend or join the Extreme's Wi-Fi network? What is the exact models for each?

  • I can no longer sync my touch with my computer.  I'm being told that "the sync server failed to sync the iPod."

    I can no longer sync my touch with my computer.  I'm being told that "the sync server failed to sync the iPod."

    Are you sure that these times are still selected to sync in iTunes?
    When you connect your iPad to your PC and with iTunes running, select your iPad under the devices button in the upper right corner of the iTunes window. Then click on the Movies tab and make sure that the movies are selected (checked) to sync. Check the playlists in the Music tab as well.

  • My iPhone 4 no longer syncs my calendars with Outlook...?

    Hi.  I've always synced my Outlook with my iPhone and haven't had any issues.  Now, I've noticed that my Oulook Calendar doesn't have the same appointments my iPhone does.  For example, I have many appointments this month on my iPhone, but they don't appear on my Outlook Calendar when I sync.  However, strangly enough, if I add an appointment to my phone or to my Outlook Calendar, now, and sync, it will copy over.  But the ones that are there in my phone now are not in Outlook.
    The only thing I think I've changed is upgrading to iOS5 and I have been syncing wirelessly, but my other PIM info seems to be syncing. 
    Any suggestions?

    Your cynicism is spot-on. I have tried everything that you tried and more.  My contacts and notes do not sync either, in addition to my calendar.  But, music, photos and apps do sync.  After spending over two hours with Microsoft I am convinced this is a bug in the iTunes sync software, but Apple does not seem to understand that if they create syncing software that is supposed to connect between two different devices, that they either need to own the handshake or be able to say why the sync can't make the handshake.  They just keep saying, "It's an Outlook problem."  Agree with you about Androids and Blackberrys (although I so loved my Blackberry, I am still heartbroken to have had to give it up).  I believe that the only solution is now going to be some form of cloud sync - either to use the iCloud Control Panel for Outlook sync, or to create a Google calendar and sync through their cloud, or to get on MS Exchange through MS Office 365.  Or hope that iTunes decides to acknowledge the problem and release a bugfix in iTunes.  I also heard that they will not support Office 2010 iTunes syncing at all.  I doubt this because I know people who are doing it. Anyway, sorry for long post, appreciate the help.

  • Can no longer sync my BB with my Outlook email..?

    I have already called my cell service provider which was of no help except to ask me to update my software (which I did), reboot (which I did), but still cannot syn the two together..This all since I had my power cut in my house about a week ago..Can anyone suggest how I can correct this GIANT problem?
    Thank you,
    Freebird Montreal

    1. Apple has removed sync services in OS X Mavericks. Therefore, you cannot sync Outlook 2011 with Contacts or Calendar.
    2. Apple has removed the ability to sync through iTunes in OS X Mavericks, so that, even if you use Contacts and Calendar on the Mac, you can only sync them with your iPhone through iCloud, thus exposing all your contacts and calendar information to the mercies of the Web.
    3. Microsoft does not not support CalDAV and CardDAV in Outlook, so there is no way to sync directly through iCloud, except perhaps by setting up a Microsoft Exchange account.
    4. Apple makes it extremely difficult (virtually impossible) to revert to a version of OSX that is earlier than OS X Mavericks once Mavericks is installed.
    In short, we are screwed and neither company seems to care.

  • HT204406 Since going over to icloud, my iphone no longer shows as a device in itunes and I can no longer sync the phone with the macbook

    Since changing to icloud, my iphone is no longer recognised in itunes and does not show as a device nor can I sync it to my Macbook.
    Any suggestions please

    Nothing has changed that would affect the way the iPad is recognized in iTunes. Here is the link to Apple's support article on this issue.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1591
    You probably have done all of these steps except for....
    Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier only: Reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service.
    Here is another troubleshooting article that might help.

  • Can no longer sync calendar events with Yahoo! Calendar

    I have an ipod Touch 4G.  It used to be able to sync calendar items back to Yahoo! Calendar so I didn't have to enter them manually once I had entered them on the Touch.
    Now I learn that in iO5 I can no longer do this with Yahoo! Calendar.  I thought that Apple prided itself on being user friendly.  I am sorry, but I have to consider this change "user hostile." 
    One reason I bought the iPod Touch was that it would sync to my Yahoo! Calendar.  Come on, guys!  Not fair!

    I have the same problem with my ipod nano. I downloaded tunes from my old pc. ITunes does not recognise it from my new pc and I cannot sync.

  • IPhone 4s no longer syncs in iTunes with iOS 5.1 - "Waiting for sync to start..."

    Anyone else having this issue after the update from iOS 5.0.1 --> iOS 5.1
    itunes sees the iPhone 4s, however syncing just hangs at the "Waiting for sync to start..."
    it eventually times out. 
    I tried via cable as well as over wifi

    Since I attempted to sync this morning, I did not have a chance to troubleshoot more before work.
    I will try the following later:
    1) Turn off iDevice, restart PC, re-sync
    2) Turn off iDevice, uninstall iTunes, restart PC, re-sync
    3) Turn off iDevice, uninstall iTunes, restart PC, backup to iOS 5.0.1 & re-sync
    4) Return iPhone to Sprint for another one.

  • HT203156 iTunes no longer syncs Aperture pictures with iPad & iPhone despite emptying iPod Photo cache in my Aperture library

    Tried to repair and even rebuild Aperture database as suggested in Help with iTunes Sync - Stuck on importing photos . . . and it does not help.
    I also have followed https://photoapps.expert/help/faqs/common-aperture-questions-issues-and-rep/aper ture-photos-arent-syncing-to-my-ipadiphoneipod-correctly.html#.VTVQ3s41TA4
    looks like this issue arose with OS X 10.3 and the new Photos app

    Just two edits
    1/ Sync works with the new Photos app.
    2/ iTunes does display Apertures folder / project tree in the photos sync section (allowing you to pick what to sync) yet does NOT display the corresponding number of pictures

  • After updating my Safari I can no longer sync my ipad with my imac. What do I do to get it to work again?c

    I updated my Safari to be able to get into the itunes store again and now I can't sync my ipad to my imac anymore.  What do I do to get it synced again?

    Really?  Safari is not updated as part of any standalone process.  Do you mean Safari on your iMac?  Then did you really update OS X?
    Sorry, it's not at all clear what you really did.  You should provide us with version numbers of:
    OS X
    iOS
    iPad model number
    iTunes

  • Ipad2 no longer syncs  or charges with Imac

    My Ipad2 is not activiating Itunes when I connect it to my imac.  It also won't charge.  It has been working fine. I have tried 2 different cords with the same result.  The cords WILL sync my iphone 4s.  The ipad will charge off a wall charger but I cant sync. any suggestions?

    How are you plugging it into your iMac? the iPad doesn't like hubs anymore, it likes to be plugged directly into the box.
    Chances are it won't charge off the iMac. Most USB hubs don't put out enough power to fully charge an iPad, They will trickle charge when you're not using them when plugged in, but will mostly say 'not charging' unless you have a newer computer with higher powered USB ports.

  • TS1538 iPad will no longer sync to itunes on PC.

    I can no longer sync my ipad with my iTunes on my PC. I was able to sync it all right when I first got it a year ago but now when I connect my ipad to my PC via the USB cable I can't see my ipad on iTunes and so can't tell it to sync.  I did update to IOS 7 and I'm running the current version on my iPad. Could this be the problem? I followed troubleshooting instructions all to no avail. Can anyone help?

    Check your  i tunes version on the PC.  you need the most recent version. 
    Other potentials -
    try a different usb port,
    try a different cable.

  • Calendar no longer syncs after ios7 update

    since updating the firmware on my iphone 4 it no longer syncs the calendar with outlook 2003, ive been in the info tab many times, selected and unselected the sync calendars with outlook box and it makes no difference, ive been in the add in menu in outlook and made sure the itunes add in is selected (its the only one there) ive been using the iphone and outlook combination for years now for work with no problems whatsoever, i cant understand why the 'select calendar box' in itunes is empty, if anyone knows the fix id be most grateful as its become quite integral to my work

    Make sure you are running the latest version of iCloud control panel for Windows (ver. 4) by running Apple Software Update and installing any available updates.  If you install an update, restart your PC, then try calendar syncing again.
    If that wasn't the issue, try force-closing the calendar app on your iPad (double-tap the home button, swipe up on the calendar app, tap the home button again), then reset your iPad (hold the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release).  After it restarts, try adding a new calendar event and see if it appears on your PC now.
    If not, try going to Settings>iCloud on your iPad, tap Sign Out, choose Delete from My iPad and provide your password when prompted (your data will still be in iCloud).  Then reset your iPad again and test calendar syncing.
