I cant connect to the home share with my airport extreme

When I connect the apple tv or open itunes the apple extreme shuts down and restarts. And i cant connect.

I bought 2 (32gig) ipod touches last week and have a strange problem with the wif fi dropping out. One of the ipod's works perfectly with great range and little drop out, the other identical ipod touch continuously drops the wireless signal and I keep having to log on constantly, which is a real pain as I am using the ipod for home automation and media control. Has anyone any ideas here please ?

My laptop compaq presario will not connect to the Internet anymore after buying airport extreme. Why? It detects the network, accepts my password, but will not connect to Internet.

My laptop compaq presario will not connect to the Internet anymore after buying airport extreme. Why? It detects the network, accepts my password, but will not connect to Internet. I tried to repair connection, tried to reboot modem several times, I even updated my computer. Nothing. All it says is that it does not detect modem. Why?

Welcome to the support community group.
First, are you sure that your AirPort Extreme has been configured correctly and is properly connected to your modem?
Begin by telling us how you have things connected and if the Airport Extreme is replacing a previously owned router or is this an entirely new installation?
First be sure that your modem is working and properly connects you to the internet using an ethernet cable directly connected to your laptop. Once you're sure that's working, reset the AirPort to factory defaults by disconnecting it from power and pressing and holding in the small reset button on the back for 15 - 20 seconds while you reconnect it to power. Then turn everything off for 5 minutes. Connect the Airport to your modem with and ethernet cable to the Airport WAN port on the back (check the user guide to make sure you connect the cable to the correct port) then connect a second ethernet cable between the laptop and one of the LAN ports on the AirPort Extreme.
Then power up the modem first, wait 5 minutes and then power up the Airport, wait 5 minutes and finally power up your laptop.
Then run the airport configuration utility from your laptop. Since you're not using an Apple computer, be sure that all of your firewall, and virus blocking and checking software is disabled before you run the airport configuration utility. Once you run the utility, it should detect your AirPort and allow you to use the configuration wizard to set things up.
Check back if you're still having problems.

Please help me resolve the many problems with my airport extreme

Dear Community,
My Apple Airport Extreme has never worked properly out of the box and I do not understand why. I must be doing something wrong. It is replacing a series of Linksys products which integrated with several Linux and Windows machines, and they worked flawlessly.
Problem (1):
Extreme crashes/reboots every now and then, especially when I try to send a lot of data from one machine to another. I assume that I am sending too much data then, and would like to know how I can slow down my data transmission so as to not hurt the Extreme.
Problem (2):
Airport Extreme when restarting either on its own or through the software refuses to let previously connected clients reconnect. The problem is probably because of of Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Linux. This causes major networking issues as each individual machine must have its network layer restarted or be rebooted. So I would like to know what I can do to work around these problems in the operating systems.
Problem (3):
Airport Utility after a spontaneous dropping of all connections by the Extreme is unable to find "any base stations within range" (it is connected to the base station by Ethernet). Base station and computer were both power cycled, problem remains. Perhaps my ethernet cable is too long and this has made the base station "out of range?"
Problem (4):
Apple claimed that I would be able to use a USB 2.0 disk on the Extreme to do backups. When I plug in the USB disk as advertised, the transfer rate is 12% of its transfer rate when plugged into any other hardware. Please let me know which configuration options I need to set on the disk in order to obtain full data transfer rates that will allow me to back up several networked machines in a reasonable timeframe (i.e. less than 3 days).
Problem (5):
Please describe to me how to connect to the router with a web browser. Every other router I have worked with allows me to connect with a web browser, and since the Apple software refuses to connect to the base station I am no longer able to configure it as I do not own a shorter ethernet cable that will bring the base station within range of the computer. Since the apple software does not take any obvious arguments that allow me to specify the IP address of the base station, my only conclusion is that I am supposed to use a web browser which will take an IP address to connect. However, when I do this, I get a "page load error." I am confused, because I was told this is an extreme unit, so I thought it had at least industry standard features, therefore I must be the one doing something wrong.
Your assistance is much appreciated.

Problems 1 through 4 are the topic of many (often long) past discussions in this forum. Though I hate to say it, I have yet to see anything that comes close to a "solution" for the problems you describe. Sometimes, Problem #3 results from radio interference which might be alleviated by changing the default channel the base station transmits on.
Unlike every non-Apple router on the market, Apple's Airport Base Station must be configured using Apple's own "Airport Utility" software application. It is not possible to configure an Airport Base Station using a web browser.
Regrettably, in your case it sounds like you would be better off continuing to use your previous Linksys wireless router.

Why won't my pc lap top connect to the internet since i installed airport extreme

Installed a new airport extreme base station . The problem is my sons pc lap top that use to connect to the internet with my airport express wont connect to the internet with airport extreme . It Connects to the wireless network but not the internet . All my other computers 2 apple lap tops an imac desk top and a kindle fire connects to the internet . The three macs are running mountain lion 10.8.2 His pc is running windows xp .Any help would be appreciated .

Use System Preferences: Network: Show Network Port Configurations, there should be a setting where you can enable and disable individual Network Ports. Make sure that all the ports are disabled, except for Airport, the MacBook might be trying to connect to Ethernet via another port and not using Airport, even though it appears to be connected to linksys.
OS X 10.5 Leopard is organized a little different from OS X 10.4 Tiger, but you should be able to find the place in that System Preferences screen where you can display and change the Network Port Configurations.
You might possibly need to check the wireless router configuration to see how many IP addresses it can assign or if there are some other connection restrictions enabled on the router, for more info see the User Guide

Cannot connect to Lacie Ed Mini with new Airport Extreme BS

I've just bought a new AE and cannot connect to my Ed Mini when its connected to an ethernet port when using an XP PC. I'm using the AE in bridged mode (temporarily) but I'm not sure if this is preventing being able to connect to the drive or not. Help!! any ideas? thanks in advance.
Windows XP Pro

Thanks Stuart, nice set up!
I listened to your advice and it worked!!!! They are both synced up, however somewhere in the setting I seem to get some problems.
I can use both Desktop(LAN only) and Imac (wireless only) to play Airtunes however I realized that the Imac is surfing the net using the Airport Express rather than the Airport Extreme. Hence a very slow surfing experience.
I went back into the Airport Express and set to join an existing network and tried using a different name, so the Imac won't use the Express to do the surfing. Upon resetting the Express, the green light is active which is good news but now I cannot play Airtunes on both my machines. So I guess even with the green light, the Extreme and Express are not linked up. Am I right?
Furthermore I can get my Imac to use the Extreme to surf the net which is ideal but have the problem where I cannot play Airtunes with Express. I think it's because Express is not linked with my Extreme base station.
What I want is for both machines to surf the net at normal fast speed using Extreme, and for Itunes to connect to Express via Extreme and play my music using Airtunes so I can get great music out on my HiFi.
Any solutions, or settings I need to do? Much appreciated for all feedback from members here.
Thanks!

How to connect an HP 111 designjet with my airport extreme 2nd gen with bonjour for windows

Hi:

When I start Bonjour for windows it identify de printer, but when i continue my printer is not in the list, I used the browse buttom and selected the .inf file that is contained in the driver and Bonjour collapsed everytime
Any one can Help me??
Thank you guys
Hola:
Ante todo buenos dias, os cuento mi problema:
Tengo una impresora gran formato HP 111 Tray (con bandeja) enchufada a un router Airport Extreme de Apple de 2ª generacion, ambos funcionando correctamente y con las ultimas actualizaciones de firmware, el caso es que al abrir el asistente BOnjour para imprimir en red a la hora de seleccionar la impresora no aparece entre las opciones disponibles, a pesar de reconocerla. Al darle a examinar para que utilize los datos de Información sobre la instalación (.inf) que me he bajado de la pagina, Bonjour se queda colgado siempre
He probado desde dos ordenadores diferentes conectados a la red y nada
Alguien sabe como puedo solucionarlo.
La impresora se conecta con un USB al router de Apple
Muchas gracias de antemano

What model and firmware is the 2TB TC?
What firmware is the AE?
Does the AE get good signal from the TC in its current location?
Signal can only be extended that is received intact.
Is it extending on 5ghz? As I remember it a Gen2 AE is only single band, although you can choose either 2.4ghz or 5ghz.
I am fairly sure you are going to tell me your TC is AC model..
I would do a couple of things..
1. Fix the wireless name, make it short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
2. Fix the wireless channel for 2.4ghz so it is not going to jump around.
3. Get real results from the AE in its current location for signal strength.. this is really only possible on v5 utility. And that is a double pain with Mavericks because you cannot use it.
Apple have removed all the useful diagnostics from the airport utility. There is next to nothing left. So you need to use the computer and its diagnostics to find signal levels in the location.

Problems with Bonjour, Airport Extreme and OS 10.4.3

I have a networked, HP Photosmart 8450 printer. The printer was connected to both an iMac 20" and PowerBook G4 15" running OS 10.4.3. Yesterday, I lost the ability to print from the PowerBook. I have identified it as a problem with my Airport Extreme connection.
The iMac can see the printer just fine, and it shows up using Bonjour when I browse printers in the Printer Setup Utility. The PowerBook, however, cannot see the printer - that is, it does not show up in the browser, but only when I use the Airport connection. However, when I connect the printer to the PowerBook via USB, or when I plug a network cable in to the PowerBook, it sees the printer immediately using Bonjour.
It appears, then, the problem is with my Airport Extreme card. Has this issue been identified by anyone else/Apple? Perusing the discussion boards, it seems others have had this problem.
PowerBook G4/iMac Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Thanks for the response, however, my question remains: I'm wondering if anyone else with an Airport Extreme ("b" version) and OS 10.4.9 installed has a problem using Admin Utility 4.1.1 and/or Airport Setup Assistant 4.1.1? Specifically, the problem is, after resetting the Airport Extreme, I was able to set it up using the Setup Assistant (establish the network, set the password), but thereafter, it does not show up in the Admin Utility at all (but the Extreme's lights flash as it is being accessed) and in Setup Assistant, it shows up, but there are "errors" when trying to change settings. It is very odd.
When I was running 10.3.9, I had had no problems setting up/administering my Airport Extreme. Suspecting the Extreme itself, I even had an Apple Genius inspect it at the Apple store, but it was pronounced in working order. I might try to check the Airport card inside the G4 (by trying it in a friend's G4). If this communication problem is not shared by anyone else (ii.e., a software issue), it could be my Airport card.

I am trying to home share with my sister. I have it down to where I can copy the songs, but I just don't have the "import" button. So it won't allow me to do anything with the songs from her computer. What should I do now?

I am trying to home share with my sister. I have it down to where I can copy all the songs I want, but it won't allow me to import them because my iTunes doesn't show the "import" button at the bottom. So what do I do now?

I have reinstalled the drivers. I watched it install the realtec and cirrus drivers. Hovering the mouse over the speaker icon says 'speakers: HP'. They are actually 'Creative'. 'Properties' indicates 'IDT High Definition CODEC' and 'This device is working correctly'.
Driver details gives 'c:\Windows\system32\drivers\dmk.sys'.
There is still no sound, although the little level meter on the control shows a green bar rising and falling.
Obviously, it thinks it's working, but there's no connection to the speakers. They're not muted, either. I checked that too.
Any other ideas?
Thanks.

Are you using the same ID for homesharing on all devices.
By the way shared libraries don't show up under either 'Music' or 'Libraries'.

How can I share the home folder with different accounts on the same mac?

Hi, here's a question:
How can I share the home folder with different accounts on the same mac?
The whole point being not to have to install all my apps, and move all my files each time between users.
The second thing would be to be able to modify one document on one account, and have it changed on the other account without having to copy it.
I would like to have a pro and a private account on my mac.
Thanks for you answers,
Doug

Your apps should not be installed in your home folder--they should be in /Applications where every user can access them.
If you want to share things between users on the same Mac, use the /Users/Shared folder. Keep your home folder private. Trying to defeat the protections on the home folder subfolders just gets messy. I've never bothered to figure out all of the problems associated with it so I can't explain how to do it.
Even with using Shared, you would need to alter the ACLs on the shared folder in order to allow both users to modify the documents.
You must create a Group in Users & Groups and put each user in that group. Then create a folder inside /Users/Shared where you want to share the various files.
Then, add an ACL to the shared folder that gives the group special permissions. on that folder.
sudo chmod -R +a "<sharinggroup> allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,add_subdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directory_inherit" /Users/Shared/<sharing folder>
Replace <sharinggroup> and <sharingfolder> with the name of your group and your folder. Then, run the command in the Terminal.
With that ACL, each user in <sharinggroup> will be able to alter the files created by any user in the group in that <sharingfolder>.
Essentially, the client OS is not designed for true file sharing among the individual users. It is designed to isolate each user account from the others.

I have a Airport network at home with a Time capsule connected via ethernet cable to modem. Also the network is extended wirelessley with an Airport Extreme. I now wish to add a second Airport extreme but am considering a hard wire connection with 100 ft of cat 6 cable from the Time capsule to the second Airport extreme. Can my network operate properly to extend the network with both a wireless and wired extend functionallity?

I now wish to add a second Airport extreme but am considering a hard wire connection with 100 ft of cat 6 cable from the Time capsule to the second Airport extreme.
Excellent plan.
Can my network operate properly to extend the network with both a wireless and wired extend functionallity?
Yes, but don't get confused about the second AirPort Extreme, as it would not be configured to "extend" a wireless network.....it would be configured to "create a wireless network" using the same wireless network name, security settings and password as the Time Capsule network. Configure the second Extreme in Bridge Mode.
This Apple support document will show you how to hookup and configure the second AirPort Extreme:

What is the make & model of your home Wi-Fi router that you are attempting to connect your G5 iMac to? Which exact model of iMac do you have?
What wireless security type is your router using: WEP, WPA, or WPA2? If you temporarily disable wireless security, can the iMac connect to it now?

I cant get my macbook (2008 model running 10.6.8) to connect to the home hub 5

to connect to the home hub 5 it connects eventually but is extremely tempermental... does anyone have a fix that doesnt involve messing around with the home hub settings...
for further notes, my dads macbook (same model but running 10.7) connects and works fine, as does the 2 windows desktop computers and laptops we have, my xbox and play station 3 consoles, my iphone 5c, ipad mini, my mums iphone 5, and my dads and sisters samsung galaxy note phones.... even as i type this i can kind of see the problem being with my macbook rather than anything else.... but if someone could give a solution that would be great =]

Howdy there SwipeatronSparks,
If your MacBook Pro still has issues when connecting to your hub, I would recommend the troubleshooting for the symptoms you are seeing in the following article, named:
Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
