I cannot get my Airport to Turn On.

I've tried creating a new location, which does not help (airport is no longer an option for me after creating a new location). When I click network settings and hit the "Turn Airport On" button, nothing happens. I've restarted about 5 times and nothing. Anyone know how to fix this?

I cannot get my Airport Express to accept wireless clients.

I cannot get my Airport Express to accept wireless clients. After resetting to factory default and reconfiguring, it works briefly but then stops again.
The Airport Express is on the second floor of my house and is seen by Airport Utility. Using a LAN cable with the Express works no problem.
My network is created by an Airport Extreme (ground floor) and extended by a Time Capsule (first floor)
Have run through all settings repeatedly and as I said I can get it to work briefly by resetting and then reconfiguring, but after a short while again my iOS devices can no longer connect and revert to cellular.

The issue is most likely due to the fact that the AirPort Express may be too far from the AirPort Extreme to properly extend it with enough bandwidth to be useful.
It is important to understand that with Apple 802.11n or 802.11ac base station an extended network works in a wheel-like fashion with the base station to be extended at the hub and each extending base station along one of the spokes. This type of configuration does not allow for daisy chaining the base stations. That is, in your case, both the Time Capsule and AirPort Express are attempting to extend the AirPort Extreme.
Each extending base station must be within a certain signal quality range in order to extend the network properly. Please check out the following AirPort User tip for details.

I cannot get my Airport Extreme to talk to my cable modem

I cannot get my Airport Extreme to talk to my cable modem. Cable modem is a Cisco, new, Charter cable company. New wires throughout. Connected to internet currently hardwired to cable modem. So I have internet service to the modem.

The modem needs an extended power down period in order to reset, as it is "remembering" your computer and thus will not associate with the AirPort Extreme.

I recently transferred my internet service to another state.I have not yet moved my imac, just my pc laptop. I cannot get my airport extreme wireless router to work. The green light stays lit when everything is connected but I can't connect to the internet. Any suggestions?

I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

I cannot get my Airport 5.5.3 to "see" my newtimecapsule, hooked to my Windows XP desktop via an ethernet cable.

I cannot get my Airport 5.5.3 to "see" my new timecapsule, hooked to my Windows XP Desktop via an ethernet cable.

How are you trying to setup the Time Capsule?
Wireless-> Network Mode, should be OFF as you already have wireless through your modem/router.
Network-> Router Mode, should be set to OFF "Bridge Mode".
Internet-> Connect Using, should be set to "DHCP".
Also, does your modem/router have a battery backup inside?
If so, you would need to remove the batteries to reset the network.
Let us know more about what you have and your setup.

Cannot get my flash to turn off on my iphone 4? any ideas??

for the last couple of weeks i cannot get my flash to turn off on my phone4, even when battery is completly empty it still stays on. It also drains my battery very quickly.

Generally 10-20 seconds. If it goes beyond 45 seconds it probably will not reset. At this point you should plug the phone into a wall charger for at least 45 minutes to be sure it has an adequate charge, then try to put it in recovery mode to restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808. If you can't put it in recovery mode you will have to try to put it in DFU mode to restore it (see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2648467?threadID=2648467&tstart=0). If that fails, then you will need to bring it to the Apple store for evaluation. It should still be under warranty.

Cannot get my airport express to allow multiple internet users.

Good morning. I recently had TW install internet and phone (cable, but no TV) at my home. My modem is a Scientific Altanta DPC 2203 and I have my AirPort Express hard-wired to the modem. I was able to access internet using my MacBook, but cannot get a wireless connection on my iPhone, my beau's iPhone or his laptop. Time Warner (RoadRunner) keeps insisting the problem has to be in the wireless router. I have read the manual for AirPort Express and run through every tab of the set-up menu and cannot figure out what is wrong.
I would be grateful for any help you might offer. I'm convinced this is a simple problem and I'm overlooking something obvious, but maybe not. The tech support people at TW are very argumentative and insistent that this modem does not distinguish or create single users. In my experience, it is usually an issue with the router, not the modem.
Many thanks,
Elaine

On your Mac.....
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utiltiies > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Click the Internet Connection tab just below the icon
Settings should look like this.....
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address
Click Update to save any changes and allow 40-45 seconds for the Express to restart
Power down everything on the network....modem, Express computer(s), printers, etc.....order is not important
Wait at least 15 minutes...longer will not hurt
Start the modem first and let it run for 2-3 minutes by itself
Start the Express the same way
Start each device one at a time about a minute apart until everything is powered back up
Check for proper operation.
Call the cable company to tell them they were right

Please Help: I cannot get the Airport Extreme settings right with AT&T DSL

AT&T Motorola 2210 DSL Modem.
I have tried both bridged on/off and different configurations on the Airport Extreme, but I cannot get online. I am out of ideas. I called AT&T tech support and because it's not one of their wireless routers, they wanted to charge me to troubleshoot, ridiculous.
Please help

If you find that the Double NAT setting will not allow the PS3 to connect correctly, your only other option is to change the configuration of the modem to either +PPP on the computer+ or +Bridge Mode+ and then configure the PPPoe service on the AirPort Extreme.
I assume that you have already set the modem up using the default IP address of 192.1681.254 (I think this is it). You'll need to locate the page to change the settings and it will probably have a red warning sign on it. Either PPP on the computer or Bridge Mode will work. Update to save settings.
Then under the Internet icon in AirPort Utility:
Connect Using = PPPoE
enter your user name (probably your email address with the service provider)
enter your password
Leave the Service Name area completely blank
Connection = Always On
Disconnect if Idle = Never
Update to save settings.
That will eliminate the Double NAT issue and the PS3 should get a clear indication. As I said, when you have the PPP connection on a device other than the modem, you may see an occasional drop and restart of your connection. That seems to be a fact of life with this type of setup.

I cannot get my Airport Utility to recognize my Airport Express

My base station is set up. I've reset my Express several times but I still cannot get the utility to "see" the Airport Express...I've spent way to much time trying to figure this one out...any advice...?
Using Version 5.3.2 (532.8) (just did the update...didnt' work before either)
--K

I have the same issue, I was able to narrow it down to the software on the Mac, I have a Mac book pro and a pc laptop, the pc can see and change the airport extreme setting no problem (which annoys me due to me not wanting to use PC anymore), but the Mac book does the same thing as the initial poster above. I was on the phone with 3 different people from Mac and the best thing they could come up with was bring the Base station and Mac book to a Genius Bar.
Steps that I have already tried that have not worked are as follows.
• Created new account to test the network connection.
• Deleted, recreated the network connection and rebooted Laptop
• Deleted the Airport Extreme base station utility and reinstalled the latest one (Rebooted after delete, rebooted after install)
• Tried to access the router via hard wire still nothing

I cannot get my bluetooth to turn on. My keyboard will not connect

I cannot get my bluetooth to come on. I use my wireless Apple Keyboard at school and then brought it home from school. It would not connect so I thought I could turn my bluetooth off and then turn it back on and re-connect it. But, it would not turn on at all. Any help would be appreciated!!
How can I turn the bluetooth on and re-connect my keyboard?

Ok so here is the update.......... Swapped out the iPad for a new one, via AppleCare warranty. Downloaded my backup, upgraded to current iso, problem solved. Although at first glance this seemed to be a software problem, it appears based on the outcome that it was a hardware malfunction. Thanks for everyone's input. Hope this helps someone with similar problem.

Cannot get location services to turn on

Hello celina ambler,
You might need to restart your iPhone. If that doesn't do the trick, try resetting it.
