I have a movie streaming problem with my 2nd generation Airport Extreme

I am using a second generation airport extreme and I am having trouble streaming movies/tv.  I did not have a problem using a new airport extreme.
Any ideas?

This was solved by buying an Apple Airport Base Station.

  • Will an old Airport Express work with a 4th generation AirPort Extreme?

    My Airport Express model A1084 will not seem to work with my 4th generation AirPort Extreme.
    I've tried everything I could think of to get it to work.
    I am able to set it up(Extend existing network) with a copy of Snow Leopard but although it has a green light and seems to be working, I can't pick up a signal on any of my devices. Everything on iStumbler looks ok to me except the channel on the Airport express is 3 and the Extreme is 149. The Express is on the 2.4 ghz and the Extreme is 5ghz. What should I look for on iStumbler that might give me a clue?
    Thanks,
    Mot

    The A1084 does not have a setting to "extend a wireless network", so it cannot be used for that purpose with the newer AirPort Extreme.
    The A1084 Express can "join" the wireless network provided by the AirPort Extreme, and be used for AirPlay and to run a remote USB printer, but the Express does not provide any additional wireless signal coverage when it joins a wireless network.
    You need the new A1392 version of the Express or the previous version, the A1264 if you want the Express to "extend" a wireless network wirelessly.
    The older A1084 Express could be used to provide more wireless coverage if you can permanently connect the Express to the Extreme with a wired Ethernet cable connection.

  • Extend my wired Airport Extreme (5th Gen) with a 2nd Wired Airport Extreme (also 5th Gen)

    I have a 5th Generation Airport Extreme in my house hard wired directly from my fiber optic provider
    Then I have that 5th Generation Airport Extreme hard wired directly to my Desktop Computer in a separate building in my back yard (using an Ethernet Cable run through an underground conduit).
    Using that setup, I DO get Wi-Fi for my iPhone 4S & iPad 3 in that separate building in my back yard, but it is sometimes so weak, it really is not useable.
    To improve the Wi-Fi signal for my iPhone 4S & iPad 3, I plan on adding a 2nd 5th Generation Airport Extreme in the separate building in my back yard.
    I will disconnect the Ethernet Cable that is currently plugged directly into my Desktop computer & plug it into the 2nd Airport Extreme.
    Then, I will use a short Ethernet Cable to directly connect my Desktop Computer to the 2nd Airport Extreme.
    The desktop computer is an older Dell Dimension 9200 running Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3
    With this set-up, will the strong Wi-Fi signal I now get in my house from the 1st Airport Extreme NOT be reduced?
    And since the separate building is only 300 square feet, I assume the Wi-Fi signal there will also be as strong with the 2nd Airport Extreme being so close to everything?
    Could someone point me to SPECIFIC instructions on how to CORRECTLY set this up so that the 2nd Airport Extreme will EXTEND my home network?

    So, I should unplug the 1st Airport Extreme from the outlet before doing anything?
    Yes.
    Since the 2 Airport Extremes will be in 2 separate locations, which do I plug into the outlet first?
    I would suggest plugging the one in the house first, then the second one in the backyard building. Be sure to connect the Ethernet coming from the first into the second before power-on either base station.
    Could I connect the Ethernet both to the 2nd Airport Extreme & then to the desktop, then plug in the current Airport Extreme in the house, then run out & plug in the 2nd Airport Extreme in the separate building?
    The key is to leave everything powered-off; connect the Ethernet cables, and then, start by powering up the house unit, then the backyard unit, and then, the PC. Make sense?
    P.S. I have the Version 5.5.3 of Airport Utility for Windows (using Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3)
           There does NOT seem to be a later version than that.
           That worked great for the installation of the 1st Airport Extreme several months ago, so I shouldn't have any problems, should I?
    There is a later version (5.6.1) for Windows, but required Windows 7 to run on. Since you can already administer the 1st 5th gen Extreme with the version you have now, you shouldn't have any issues continuing to use it for the second unit.

  • Problem with lacie HD and airport extreme need help!!

    Let me first off tell you what my set up is powerbook with the latest 10.4 os, airport extreme software up to date, a Lacie 500gb usb hard disk connected to the airport extreme, i've got an apple TV connected to the extreme via ethernet, I also have a macbook pro using the airport.
    The problem i've got is the powerbook is the main hub between the external hard disk and the apple tv but it's started to not hold a connection to the lacie i keep having to tell the powerbook to connect then ok it with a password and as a result i have to keep re syncing things like movies and photos to the apple tv.
    Is there a way to automatically connect the powerbook to the hard disk with out it needing a password if not can anyone come up with an explanation as to why the disk has started to unmount after being fine for weeks?
    My macbook pro has no problems keeping a connection.
    Thanks in advance

    I just found out something today which might help you Daniel, but that doesn't solve our problem in a "classic" way...
    So I was very obsessed by the fact that Windows Vista could actually access the shared HD with Bonjour and with a lot of testing I found this : let's say my macbook pro was off, if I would access the HD with Vista and then open up the MacBook Pro, then there would be no problem.
    Eventually I found out that the problem really came from the fact that my WD MyBook 1Tb external drive was putting itself on standby after a while (which is a good thing actualy). When I was trying to connect to the drive while it was on standby with Finder, it would try to connect forever... however, it would physically wake up the external drive (I could tell by the sound)... but too late for Finder, and no way to access it other than rebooting the Mac... OR crashing Finder (Apple Menu - Force to quit). Then the Finder restarts automatically and the drive works.
    I really don't like this solution (having to crash finder) but it works.
    PLEASE if someone has a better way, let me know !!!

  • Problems with Timed Access on Airport Extreme n & Express

    Hi
    I have recently upgraded to an Apple network at home, with good results. The extreme n is my main router, connected to a Netgear modem, with an express n used to extend the network across the house.
    This all works fine, except for one problem - the timed access. I am trying to restrict the access on my son's iPod touch without success.
    The set up is as follows:
    Default - no access
    All other machines - all day everyday
    My son's iPod touch - weekdays restricted to evenings and weekends a more relaxed restriction.
    The problem is this - his iPod touch allows him to access at any time. If I take his iPod touch off the timed access list, the default works i.e. he can't connect to the network. If I apply the settings again, he has free access.
    I've tested his restrictions on my iPhone and they apply perfectly - doh!
    Any suggestions please?
    Thanks
    Paul

    Found the answers myself
    MAC address is a unique address (looks like 00:05:92:a6:3a:70) that each network card on a Mac or PC has. To find it, go to System Prefs/Network/Firewire. On the PC use the Start-button and write the command ipconfig_/all to get the physical address. Add one line for each client (Mac or PC) in the time access configuration for the Airport Base Station, and here you can limit the access time for each client.

  • Unforeseen problem with TimeMachine backups and Airport Extreme

    Some of you and many others on the net have reported getting TM to work over Airdisk with AEBS. My question is, as an unsupported feature, shouldn't we worry about how the restoration process would be? Once I load Leopard and want to restore my system if anything happened, I might run into a huge problem if my TM drive is not recognized by Leopard over Airdisk using AEBS. Even if I do the update, it may not be identified and I may be stuck basically remaking my entire account from scratch including all my personal files and docs.

    I actually was successful in doing a full restore of my Time Machine AEBS USB drive by connecting it directly on my iMac. I booted the iMac with my Leopard DVD (with my Time Machine USB drive connected directly on the iMac), formatted my new iMac internal hard drive from the DVD's Disk Utility, then use Restore from the DVD menu to select the Time Machine backup of my choice (exact date/time) from my USB drive. Finally, I selected my new internal Drive as the target, went to sleep, and when I got up in the morning, my iMac was fully restored!

  • Wireless comm problem with time capsule or airport extreme using iMac G5

    I did buy a Time Capsule and an iMac 20" G5 January 2009...Installed all the components and created a wireless network...MacBook, iPhone and iPod Touch connected perfectly...iMac connected but started to drop communications with Time Capsule...Safari, iTunes and other internet-access programs had problems to connect 100% with the web...After reviewing all the post here and "testing/trying" several parameters, I found out that you need to define a WPA/WPA2 password protection with more than 13 characters...FYI, Time capsule is configured using 802.11n (b/g compatible)...

    Further to Bob's comments..
    A Gen1 TC will be using marvel wireless chip and your 2008 and 2010 Macbook will use atheros and/or broadcom cards.. Just open your system profiler and look for info on the airport. We find the mixture of wireless chipsets especially older draft N and later N products can give very varied results.
    The very fact you are linking at 270 and not 300mbps shows some reduction from theoretical max speed.. and really to get over 100mbps with any wireless you need perfect setup.. matched wireless chips etc.
    Do a test uploading and downloading a file to the TC to see if the LAN speed is better than internet speed.
    In reality I think you are doing especially well.. we see loads of people complaining about slow internet here who are getting less than 10% of the speed they get direct when routed through the TC. And on most occasions the limit in speed is not really going to affect what you do, as the real links to the internet are not that fast.

  • Using linksys wired router with AE 2nd generation

    Hi. I'm trying to use a linksys befsr41 (non-wireless 4 port router) with a 2nd generation airport express. I have several wired rooms that I want to setup separate networks with other AE's. My configuration is:  cable box-->AE WAN in--AE LAN out-->Linksys-->ethernet cable through the house—>AE WAN in rooms. Can’t seem to make this work. I can do it wirelessly (i.e having the remote AE's joing the first AE network) but several of the rooms have poor signal. As soon as I try and create a new network the remote AE’s can’t connect to the network. I checked the cables and they are all good.
    Thanks.

    We need some additional information to be able to troubleshoot this issue.
    Can you provide the make and model number of the cable modem that you are using?
    Are the other AirPort Express devices that you are trying to connect also 2nd Gen versions?  If not, what version are they?
    The Linksys router needs to be configured to operate in Bridge Mode so that it will function as if it were an Ethernet switch.....not a router.  Is the Linksys set up in Bridge Mode at the current time?
    Looking at the Linksys support forum....example below......I cannot tell whether it is possible to configure the Linksys product in Bridge Mode:
    https://community.linksys.com/t5/Wired-Routers/Use-BEFSR41-in-Bridged-Mode/td-p/ 272061
    Are you trying to configure the AirPorts using AirPort Utility on a Mac....or on an iPhone / iPad?  If you are using a Mac, what operating system is the Mac running?  If you are not sure, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then click About This Mac. Post back with the OS X  version that you see there.

  • I can't move photos from iPhoto to my secondary hard drive or to a burn folder.  I have never had a problem with this before.  This is something new.   They will not drop into either folder.  Nothing happens.

    I can't move photos from iPhoto to my secondary hard drive or to a burn folder.  I have never had a problem with this before.  This is something new.   They will not drop into either folder.  Nothing happens. 
    I checked my secondary harddrive and there is plenty of memory.
    I emptied my burn folder but the photos still will not drop into it.
    I created a new burn folder, no luck with this either.
    230 photos is the maximum size of the events I am trying to move from iPhoto to save elsewhere.
    I have shut down and restarted my computer.   No change. The photos still will not drop out of iPhoto.
    My Mac Computer Storage shows that I have 62.2GB free out of 249.2GB (movies, photos and contacts taking up the most space)
    My Lacie External Harddrive (2TB capacity) shows that I have 1.79TB available.  It shows that 207,729,520,640 bytes (207.73 GB on disk) are used.
    I have never had this problem before.  It is usually very easy to move my photos from iPhoto.
    I am not a computer expert (I work in surgery so don't have a need for lots of computer knowledge) so please explain in simple terms.  
    Thank you so much for any help you can provide.
    I really appreciate it.

    YES Terence!  Thank you. Exporting allowed me to move my photos from iPhoto into the Burn Folder on my desktop.   But that doesn't explain why I'm having to go that route now.   Have I done something (accidentally changed some setting) on my computer that will not allow me to just click and drag anymore?   I really liked the convenience of the click and drag option. 
    I don't have the time tonight to export and burn a lot of CD/DVDs.  I'll try that tomorrow and make sure my photos are moving properly.  I also need to export photos to my external hard drive to make sure that route is working. 
    Wouldn't you know that my Apple Care Plan runs out this Wednesday?!  I need to make sure everything is working properly before that expires. 
    Thank you so much for your help.   I really, really appreciate it.

    I downloaded an HD movie onto my laptop from i-tunes.  It plays fine on my laptop, but when I plug in my HD projector, the movie quits.  When I unplug the projector, the movie starts again. I have never had a problem with projecting an itunes movie before this. Someone told me that i-tunes changed something so that movies can no longer be projected.  We have a home theatre and have watched movies this way quite regularly, so it would be a drag if Apple will prevent us from doing this in the future. 

    I don’t know about projection, but I’m unable to watch HD content in iTunes because my Apple 30-inch Cinema Display is not HDCP-compliant (which is part of an HD copy-protection scheme).
    The other movies you’ve projected, were they HD as well? If not, it could be the same problem: your projector is not HDCP-compliant.

  • I rented a Movie and it has been loading for 3 hours now. Internet connection is fine. Have never had a problem with this before. What's really annoying is that the 24 hour time limit is counting down even though we cant watch it. Any suggestion"hours now

    I rented a Movie and it has been loading for 3 hours now. Internet connection is fine. Have never had a problem with this before. What's really annoying is that the 24 hour time limit is counting down even though we cant watch it. Any suggestions?

    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
    HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
    Additionally, your 24 hours don't start until you begin to watch the movie, you have 30 days to start watching the movie.

  • Dynamic Streaming - problems with MP4 (h.264)

    Hey Flash Guru's
    Im wondering if anyone have had any similar problems with the MP4 (H.264) format when implementing Dynamic Streaming using a FMS server?
    Basicly we developed a player that detects the users bandwidth and plays the appropiate VOD stream (500, 1000 or 1500 kb/sec). Its tested with NetLimiter and works perfectly switching bitrates/files during the movie with both MP4 (h.264) and FLV (On2Vp6).
    The problem occurs when you seek (jumps in the progressbar). When playing the MP4 files the player often uses 2-10 seconds to start the stream again. But when using FLV files the seeking is seamless and starts the stream within 2 seconds everytime.
    So my question is if the FMS servers, Flash or the Dynamic Streaming got an issue with MP4 files?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Best regards
    Bo

    H264 content does take quite a few images to get rolling before playback starts.  That's normal but it shouldn't take 10 seconds - it sounds like your buffer length might be overly long and it's taking a while to fill up after the seek.  Consider keeping a short buffer like as small as 0.1 seconds for playback starts.  Once you get your Play.Start or your Buffer.Full message then you can adjust the buffer length on the fly to something longer to handle the bumps.
    It's also possible that you're getting the high bandwidth stream again when you seek by mistake.  Check your server logs to see that you're getting the play that you're expecting there.

  • TS3276 I have recently had a problem with one of my hotmail accounts, some sort of virus sending random emails to people in my address book. Hotmail advised me to change my password for that account, which I did. Why won't mail recognise the new password?

    I have recently had a problem with one of my hotmail accounts, some sort of virus sending random emails from my address book. Hotmail advised me to delete all contacts and change the password for that account, which I did on my laptop running windows XP. The change was successful and I was able to send and receive emails with no problem. I then had to change the account password on my iPhone 4s, which I did and it too was successful but when I came to change the password on my iMac, running the latest version of Lion it would not recognise the new password. I have tried to remove the account details and re-install but every time I go to add new account my old details are in the box. This is very frustrating as I use my iMac for all my profects and I need to access my email. Please help.

    hi guys,
    I had already deleted all reference to the hotmail account in question from the keychain access app, I have also tried to delete and re-instal the account details from within mail. The icon in the side bar dissapears but when I go to Add Account, the old account details are in the new account box. I then input my new password but am told that the server does not recognise it. If I access hotmail via google on the iMac I can get into my account with no problems. I am thinking there must be some other form of security system within the mac software that is blocking the new password. This is driving me nuts. I have been trying to resolve this for the last two days. Thank you for your advise anyway.

    Hi I have been having a problem with Bridge in CS4 recently. So uninstalled CS4 and Lightroom 4.4 and reinstalled them on my Desktop PC. When I turned on Bridge through CS4, My thumb nail images disappeared and a thumb nail icon with CR2 appeared. Now some of my images have disappeared from Light room 4.4, but I can find them in CS4 and Bridge now shows some thumb nails as images and some as an icon with CR2. I have spent two weeks going through preferences etc. to find how to resolve my problem. Please can you Help? Meany thanks in advance
      Derek Randall

    I don't use LR and rarely use the bridge so I can not answers about thumbnails in them,  However thumbnails in windows file explorer and windows dialog for CS2 files will only show if you have installed codec into windows that will produce them. Windows does not do CR2 thumbnails on its own. I use FastPictureViewer Codec package for RAW File and PSD files thunbmail support.
