I am experiencing network failures with my Airport Extremes: the main router is a 2nd Gen, the extension a 5th Gen. The 5th Gen keeps on losing connection with the main router. Any ideas why?

I am experiencing network failures with my Airport Extremes: the main router is a 2nd Gen, the extension a 5th Gen.
The 5th Gen keeps on losing connection with the main router and thus with the internet.
Any ideas why?

Is the second Extreme configured to "extend" the network created by the first? If so its position must be such that it has a strong wireless connection to the first Extreme. If it is at the limits of the first one's wireless range its connection will be tenuous. Place them closer together and determine if that makes a difference.

  • I am trying to install a program on my Mac Book Pro Retina from a Apple SuperDrive. Every time I run the installer, it says I do not have enough memory to install. However, I definitely have enough memory (186.74 GB). Any ideas why?

    I am trying to install a program on my Mac Book Pro Retina from a Apple SuperDrive. Every time I run the installer, it says I do not have enough memory to install. However, I definitely have enough memory (186.74 GB). The program takes only 550 MB. Any ideas why?

    Thanks for the clarification on the terms. I consider myself proficent at my computer, but not exactly in its inner-workings! I have 8 GB of memory installed.
    I am still confused as to why I do not have any space for the program. This is the exact error message I get: "There is not enough free space on Macintosh HD disk. The Print Shop 2 application requires about 550 MB to be installed. Free some disk space and try again."
    Thank you again for your help.

  • Firefox is blocked from connecting, IE9 is not. Any ideas why? I believe this is a viral attack of some kind.

    My Firefox is NOT connecting to the Internet. It's like it is blocked and isolated from the web. I've tried restarting with add-ons disabled, Safe-Mode and reinstalling. Nothing has worked. This is the second time this has happened to Me in the last six months. The last time, I had a hard drive failure and had found a virus attack shortly before losing the drive. How do I fix this?

    Disable your Antivirus and check it out...

  • IMovie export in 1080p shows nasty "jerky" artifacts - any idea why?

    Basically everything looked great when previewing movie. When exported I got some artifacts. Watch the video below, pay attention to the top left area of the screen, especially when there is fast frame motion or between different scenes:

    Anyone has any idea why?
    If it helps, I am using a Summer 2011 MacBook Air - 2GB RAM, 64GB drive, iMovie project and files are stored on a USB-attached 256GB drive.

    This issue hasn't been solved in over a year.

    Hi ryanfromstockbridge,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing when you try to add the printer or print to the printer. If you continue to have issues printing to this wireless printer, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

  • Any idea why i get constant "sim failure" messages and a shutdown?

    I am getting constant Sim Failure messages during itube video playing, resulting in shutdowns. Any ideas why and a solution?

    Brett,
    Well done getting the wireless network secured.
    You have to precede the (hex) password with a '$' in Mac OS, to tell the Internet Connect dialog box that you are keying a hex password (rather than ASCII). This is because the Mac has detected that the network is WEP protected, and leaves it to you to decide how you want to key the password.
    As an alternative, in Internet Connect (or from the AirPort icon menu), you can elect to join an "Other" network. If you select your network again, it'll come up with "WEP Password" as the option of Wireless Security. You can change this to "WEP 40/128-bit hex" and then not have to precede your password with the '$'.
    Alternatively, you could tell us the make and model of your wireless router and we can tell you how to set, and use an ASCII password. From your 10-character hex password, we can see that you're using 40/64-bit WEP. Non-Apple routers can be a bit fussy when using ASCII passwords with 40-bit WEP (don't worry, this is also true for Windows PC's using 40-bit WEP too), but we can talk you through it.
    As a final alternative, as you have such a whizzy Mac, as long as your wireless router supports it, you could use WPA security, and never have to worry about ASCII / hex / '$', etc. Older Macs (particularly original AirPort cards - not AirPort Extreme - and OS9) were limited to 40-bit WEP.

  • Iphoto on my macbook pro has stopped working. It comes up with a message saying that the library is either being used by another user or it is unreadable. Any ideas why I should be receiving this message?

    Iphoto on my macbook pro has stopped working. It comes up with a message saying that the library is either being used by another user or it is unreadable. Any ideas why I should be receiving this message?
    "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable"
    Offered solution doesn't work:
    Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup.
    I have already copied my photographs to the a library manager but when I tried to reuse iphoto and import the photos back into iphoto, it would not let me.
    I can't download photographs from my iphone or my digital camera.
    Any ideas on how I can solve this problem?
    There is a possibility that when I went to update applications that I started to install Mavericks which I then interrupted and cancelled. I am not definite that this caused this problem but it was at about the same time as when this problem started.
    Many thanks,
    Ed

    I have already copied my photographs to the a library manager but when I tried to reuse iphoto and import the photos back into iphoto, it would not let me.
    You can't "copy" your photos to the "library manager", there is just no way to any such thing.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

    Lyall,
    I have seen this before, a long time ago (several years), and I cannot
    remember how/if we resolved it.
    If this is an impotant issue to you, I suggest that you open a case with
    BEA support.

    This is a rather important issue, I have seen another post with a similar problem.
    While not being a show-stopper it certainly raises concerns.
    The application works ok until the application exits (in both development and
    executable form)
    Apparently this did not happen with Tux 7.1
    It does with 8, I do not have 7.1 so I have no workaround.
