I can not get my Airport extreme to login to my Drobo exterior HD.., although it definitely recognizes it.
Any thoughts?

First check to make sure that you have the correct versions of Apple products to do what you want. The AirPort Extreme (AEBS), needs to be the "square" version with rounded corners, not the older round, domed shaped AEBS.
Next, the AirPort Express (AX) must be the newer "n" version of the product. Check the label on the side of the AX for the model number. This needs to be Model No A 1264.
Next, using AirPort Utility on your PC, select the AEBS and click Manual Setup. Then click the Wireless tab below the icons. Make sure that a check mark is entered next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Then check the AX using Manual Setup. Click the Wireless tab to check that the setting for Wireless Mode is "Extend a wireless network" and that there is a check mark next to "Allow wireless clients"

Apple's iOS platform (iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch) has never, and will never support flash.
First on this; Thoughts on Flash. This is from Steve Jobs regarding Apple's views on Flash (2010)
Second; Adobe stops making Flash for mobile devices. This is from Adobe themselves last year stating that they would stop making Flash for mobile devices.
If you can find the App equivalent of the programs you are looking for, then congratulations, however, if you require specific 'programs' requiring flash, then the iPad is certainly not for you, and returning it would be the best choice (granted you are still within the return period).
The lesson in this; Research what a device can and cannot do prior to purchase

Airport Card can not find the Airport Extreme Station

My problem is, that my PowerMac G5 with an Airport Card can not find the Airport Network from the Expreme Station. But I can see all other wlan-networks.
With me MacBook Pro I have no problems, I have an normal connection to the Station.

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
In AirPort Utility how is your AirPort Extreme configured in the AirPort panel, Wireless tab, Radio Mode list? If it's set to 802.11n only the AirPort card in your G5 probably doesn't support that.

How can I get an Airport Extreme card to recognize a Nintendo DS WiFI?

With an Airport Extreme Base Station the Airport Admin Utility lets you enter the hexidecimal code for the DS (Nintendo calls this the "MAC Address".). The Airport Admin Utility will not open because I do not have a base station. My iMac is connected to the web by ethernet cable and I use this iMac as the base station for my wireless network. Where can I enter the "MAC Address" for my son's DS?
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4) 1st edition

My son got a DS for Christmas. I have the Extreme base station and I had to use WEP security and not WPA. You have to get the WEP key from the Admin software. According to the Nintendo Wifi site, the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection USB Connector is not compatible with Macintosh so you can only use a base station. This is from the Nintendo web site:
Will I be able to use the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection if I have a Macintosh?
As long as you have a wireless router that is compatible with the Nintendo WFC -- and almost all of them are -- then you will be able to connect to the Nintendo WFC from your home. For gamers who do not have a compatible wireless router, and do not wish to purchase one, Nintendo offers the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection USB Connector as an alternative. Unfortunately, this device is not compatible with Macintosh systems. You can still play by connecting at a local Hotspot, or purchasing a compatible wireless router.
Hope this helps.

Help! - I can't get my airport extreme 802.11n to work

Hi everyone,
So yesterday I purchased and attempted to set up my new 802.11n AirPort Extreme, however I could never seem to get it to establish a connection (even though the ethernet clearly works, as I am typing this message with it now connected directly into my imac). The airport said that it created a network and the light was on a solid green, indicating that it was working properly.
So, in my infinite wisdom I tried to monkey with all of the settings in the AirPort Utility. In the process of doing this, I tried to click the "join a network" instead of "create a new wireless network." Now when I try to find my wireless airport, it can't even locate any AirPort devices
I have tried to "reset" my AirPort Extreme by inserting a pen into the reset button and holding it down, but it does not seem to work. Is there any other way to reset this device back to it's initial factory settings so that I can try to set it up again?
If anyone has any ideas, I could certainly use the help.
Thanks,
Sean

Sean, hold in the reset button on the AirPort Extreme until you see the amber light begin to blink more quickly. Keep holding another 3-4 seconds when you see this and then release the reset button.
That should allow Airport Utility to "see" the device so that you can reconfigure it.
When you say that the ethernet works, I assume this the connection from your modem. If you have a cable modem, you will need to completely reset it so that it will associate with the AirPort Extreme.
Push the reset button on the cable modem
Power it off
Pull the battery if it is easily accessible
Leave it off at least 20-25 minutes or longer before you power it back up
This information above assumes that you have a cable modem. If you have a different type of connection, post back on your progress.

I can not set my Airport Extreme

Hello,
I just bought a airport extreme today and have spent most of the evening trying to set it up and having no luck.
I have two computers that I would like to set up. 1st computer is a Dell Desktop and the 2nd computer is a Mac Powerbook G5. Currently my Dell has a DSL connection and I want to connect my Powerbook to the DSL through the Airport Extreme.
When I hooked everything up per the start up guide, My dell computer said it was hooked up to DSL but I could not get onto the internet. The same thing happened on my powerbook. I am not sure if I even set up my airport extreme correctly. I was not sure if I was suppose to use Ethernet or PPP over Ethernet.
Please help I am so confused! The tech person at the apple store told me I needed to have this and that it was so easy to set up.

First welcome to the discussions.
If I understand your post correctly.
Turn both computers OFF.
Unplug the DSL connection from your Dell and plug it in to the Airport Extreme into the port with the circle of dots.
Next you can run an ethernet cable from the other port on the Airport Extreme the one with the 2 arrows pointing away from one another into your dell.
It would be best if you pull the power adapter from both the Internet Service Providers Modem and the Airport Extreme.
Now that you have your cables run and in the proper ports.
Plug in the power adapter into your ISP's Modem First and you must wait for it to acquire the signal this normally takes a minute or so.
Next plug in the power adapter into the Airport Extreme Base and again you must wait for the signal to re-establish. Now you can restart your computers.
On your Mac be sure you have your Network setting on Airport and it must have the litle green dot and drag it to the top of the list if it isn't already. The Dell is hardwired so you should be good there.
Good Luck, and check your Airport Extreme Booklet to determine the type of Network you want to set-up.
Your Powerbook should automaticlly see the Network, you will probably need to run the Airport Admin and Set-up Utility to name your network it's pretty straight forward.
Be sure your set to let the Airport Distribute the IP's and DHCP.
Here is another option.

Good Luck Don

Airport utility 6.3.4 can not find my airport extreme 802.11ac

Sometimes the program loses contact with Airport Extreme 802.11ac with firmware 7.7.3 The internet is OK and the internettlight is green but the software seems not to find my Airport Extreme 802.11ac. The curios thing is that the airport utility app on my Iphone will find the Airport Extreme and from here I can restart it - which (obvious) solves the problem - for some time
Probably a known problem!

The problem is with Yosemite. We have seen many posts from users with "disappearing" AirPorts, but unfortunately there does not appear to be a reliable solution at this time.
Some users have reported that turning off the Firewall on their Macs has helped with this issue. Not sure if you want to try this, and we are not really recommending that you do this, but it might be worth a try if it is important for you to be able to "see" the AirPort Extreme in AirPort Utility from your Mac.
Another check that you can perform that might help is to see if your Mac has been bitten by the Yosemite "naming" bug. To do this, open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) and then open Sharing. Check to make sure that the name of your Mac is displayed correctly. If you see a (2), (3), (4) etc added to the name of the Mac, edit the name to correct it and restart your Mac.
You may need to check this daily as when you have the bug, the "naming" will likely continue until we get a fix.

Can't get my Airport Extreme's HD to show up for TimeMachine...

Hi, I have a new Airport Extreme Simulanteous Dual Band with an external 1TB HD formatted for MacOS Journaled, etc.
I can see the disk, named "TMBkup" in the airport utility but it won't show up in my choices of HDs in the TimeMachine preferences dialog box.
Any ideas?
Thanks

i know i've been told several times. i don't need to be scolded and i'm not trying to start a fight. i'm more flabergasted that when apple first shipped Airport Extreme, this was one of the features is boasted. I was surprised that either I completely missed this or at some point the feature set changed.
The point is, it's +*not supported.+*
Nobody here can do anything about that.
If you want to complain about it, contact Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ or call AppleCare, or contact whoever sold it to you.

I can't get the AirPort extreme to recognize a MagicJack connection. It's an ethernet cable plugged into one of the lan ports and the led won't even light up.

My wireless network is working fine. I have an AirPort extreme hooked to a cable modem and all other devices around the house can get into the network.
However, I am trying to hook up a MagicJack to the AirPort via an ethernet cable without success. The AirPort has 3 lan ports for this kind of purpose. The MagicJack works fine when plugged into my Mac's USB port, but it seems to slow the Mac down too much.
I have tried a new cable, checked that I have power and have rummaged through AirPort Utility, but cannot get the AirPort port to even light up. I've also restarted and rebooted both the AirPort and the cable modem multiple times.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

KiltedTim. You nailed it. I tried the MJ directly into the cable modem and still can't get a phone line. I'll see what MJ can do now.
Thanks and thanks to alanoconner for your help.

Lightroom can not get my photo file when I go to nik plug in any help?

Lightroom is unable to prepare my file when I go to my nik plug in. It says it can not open the file. I'm working off an external hard drive and I have tried both of them. any help out there?

It's failing to load Main.swf
I noticed that you do have a main.swf
Perhaps the file was renamed at some point.

I have an apple Macbook pro Retina. I was looking at resolutions and by accident clicked on 780 and now I can not get back into resolutions to set it back top 1080p? Any suggestions how to do this?

I can not reset my resolution back to 1080p after clicking on 780 by mistake. My laptop will not go back to reolutions?

Have you tried restarting and then try to change it again?
Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

I can't get my AirPort Extreme to work.

I think my son may have accessed airport utility yesterday but not really sure. I have internet on the router but only flashing amber on airport. mac keeps telling me That it can't find a configured air base or that another device is using my computers IP address. I have just managed to rename it but when I click on it in utility's it says-Ethernet unplugged
-internet connection
-no DNS servers. ( all Amber light next to them)
and and then reverts back to that another device is using my computers IP address. (Device no keeps changing)
IM not overly computer savvy. I need help please.

There are a couple of preliminary things that are important.
IPv6 must be set correctly to link-local only.. . everything is now dependent on this.
And auto doesn't cut it.. in fact auto is the problem with all of this.
This is set in network preferences and you set it for both the wireless and ethernet (whichever you use .. both if possible).
eg wifi
Try again with the setup.. If it still fails you have two choices..
Use iOS version airport utility which seems to work better.. it is free download from app store for iOS v6 and greater.
OR go for a purely manual configuration.
I have to admit this is what I do.. since it is pretty much foolproof.. !!
You need to factory reset..
And it is much better to use ethernet with wireless off if possible.
Then you can run through the method I have laid out on a few threads.. but the screenshots are having issues showing up.
Airtport Utility can't find Airport Time Capsule on either of my 2009 Macs
Here is an earlier one..
Airport Utility shows "unexpected error - please try again" when connecting to Time Capsule
Note also you can do this in isolation from the network.. and it is sometimes worth doing that way. Anytime the setup in network fails.. factory reset again and do it manually outside of the network.. Then you are MAKING the airport do what you want.. instead of automagical routine getting in the way of sense.
For your setup Bear2win.. you have a router.. so the AE must be set to bridge.. and you must set wireless to create a network.. not extend.. once you setup like this.. update the AE and place it into the network.. there can still be some minor issues to fix up but they should be trivial.
Screenshots of the problems and when it breaks down if you don't get anywhere will help us determine where you problem lies.. expect Mavericks to kick a lot.. it can be a pain as the network ability approaches that of tin cans with wet string.

My screen is going black and the phone acts as though it is on and everything is working but I can't get the screen to change from being black... Any thoughts?

I have had my Droid 2 for about a year and a half now. I had no problems with it until a few months ago when that update came out. All the sudden the phone would freeze up then all of a sudden yesterday I was texting a friend and had the keyboard open then the screen went completely black. I tried rebooting the phone...pulling the battery... and then doing a hard reset... Nothing works. I cant even really do a hard reset because the screen is black. Any thoughts?

I cannot get my AirPort Extreme to factory reset

I can't get my AirPort Extreme to factory reset

Pull the power cord from the back of the AirPort Extreme
Wait a few minutes
Hold in the reset button first, and then keep holding it for an additional 10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back into the AirPort Extreme
Release the reset button after the hold period
Allow a full minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
If the AirPort Extreme is functioning correctly, it has now been reset.
If you try this procedure a few times and the Extreme still will not reset, then you may have a defective Extreme. Take the device to an Apple Store.....if you have one near you.....so they can take a look. Or, contact Apple Support directly.
