Think you need to provide some more details about what you are connecting

Just bought new AirPort Extreme did everything on manual and light still flashing amber , it is connected to an Arris TM822 from optimum cable company , help please
Any luck with the suggestions mentioned by Bob Timmons?
I am having pretty much the same issue.
Got a new modem Arris SB6141 and a new Airport Extreme ME918LL/A. Activated with my ISP (Comcast). Worked with a savy tech who knew the modem and Airport Extreme. Ensured all items were correct from the ISP side.
I follow the instructions as indicated for Airport Extreme by it fails to detect the internet and dns servers. Comcast suggested I call apple. Reading posts above I will:
-Reset the airport extreme
-Unplug the modem for 30min
Airport Utility 6.3.4 (634.17)
Airport Extreme ME918LL/A Firmware Version 7.7.3
MBP - Yosemite Mid 2012
Appreciate the assistance folks. -
Just bought an AirPort Extreme which requires a Airport Ulitity update. The update needed is not supported on my HD. It requires OSxV10.7.5 which I do not have. What can I do??
Options:
Update your operating system to 10.7.5 (Lion) or 10.8.x (Mountain Lion)
Use or borrow another Mac that is running 10.7.5 or 10.8.x to install the AirPort Extreme
Use an iPhone or iPad for the installation -
I have an Apple Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3 GHz/6GB RAM/500GB HDD/Superdrive PowerPC Desktop and just bought an Airport Extreme card for it. The card is recognized but will not see the in-house network. This is a pre-intel computer. Do I need an additional antennae? If so, which one because my research is confusing me about what is supposed to work with this computer.
Please check out the following Apple Support article to see if your particular Power Mac model supports an external Wi-Fi antenna.

I just bought an Airport Extreme. Sales rep told me I could plug it into my existing modem/router (one unit) from isp. vie ethernet cable and it would speed up my internet. When I open airport utility it tells me device is not connected yet my internet still works. Was the rep wrong about speeding up my internet or is it not compatible with my isp unit?

Sorry, but this is not correct. Your Internet connection speed is established by the plan that you have with your Internet Service Provider. The AirPort Extreme will not "speed it up".
Unless there is some special feature that the AirPort Extreme provides that you need, adding another wireless router...when you already have one.... is not going to buy you anything.
The AirPort Extreme is compatible with your modem/router if you want to continue to try to hook it up. It will really help if you have a Mac for the configuration as the Windows Firewall often blocks connection and configuration attempts. -
I downloaded OS X Lion on my iMac and I'm having problems with my computer waking up after hibernating. I can get to the login screen but my mouse will be frozen. The only fix's is a hard reboot. Any help would be great!
Try resetting the SMC and the PRAM.
1. SMC
Read this and follow the instructions for your kind of mac:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
2. PRAM
Follow the procedure below:
1. Power down the machine.
2. Locate the following keys on your keyboard in preparation for Step 4:
command–option–P–R
3. Press the ‘power on’ button.
4. Immediately – and before the grey screen appears – hold down ‘command-option-P-R’ all together.
5. Keep them held down until you’ve heard the start-up chime twice. After you release them you should hear it again, and hopefully your Mac will boot up as it should normally. -
Having problems with Bridge shutting down after saving photo in PS Cs5,,,,,,,,, Also when i attempt to update either PS or bridge get an error message in Adobe application manger "Error loading updater workflow"
Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is. -
I had already update mi new factory unlocked iPhone 4S to iOS 5.1.1 and I still having problems with "invalid sim". I'm from Argentina and here we don't have official service. PLEASE HELP ME, WHAT CAN I DO??? In Argentina is too expensive an iPhone 4S. Please I need help to continue believing in Apple. Thanks a lot. If anybody speak spanish better.
Was it purchased from an official Apple Store, not a reseller? Only Apple Stores sell official factory unlocked phones. The others sell hacked to unlock phones, and the unlocking is unstable.
Try these steps, as needed:
1. Reset phone - press both home and on/off buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
3. Replace SIM card (and reset network settings again)
4. Restore Phone in iTunes using a backup
5. Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup -
im having problems with iphone 5 it keeps goin to recovery mode, i have the latest update already installed but it keeps goin to recovery every two day. can anyone help me on hoe to fix this issue? thanks
Try to Restore with iTunes on your computer. If this does not work, there is full Warranty. Make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution.

Just bought an AirPort Extreme, in need for some help/suggestions.
Hello all.
Just purchased an AirPort Extreme today, very excited about it as my old router was getting worse and worse.
Just finished setting up the basics of the extreme right now, set up the network name, password, and all that.
I obviously know this is a DualBand router, and want to take advantage of it!
I have two main questions...
1. How do I exactly set up the "two" different networks?
2. I wanted help/suggestions on what devices I should connect to what network to get the best performance out of it.
My list of devices in the household:
- 2012 iMac
- (2) 2008 Unibody MacBook's.
- iPad
- A few iPhones
- Apple TV
- PS3
Most of the time we have two of the Mac's running at the same time, as well as a few iPhones connected based on who's home or not.
For my Apple TV and PS3, I love to get the best performance possible... Therefore I usually have those running a wired connection to the router.
Any kind of help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I'm pretty computer friendly, just want to know the best ideas for the best performance!
Thanks again.1. How do I exactly set up the "two" different networks?
Do exactly nothing. By default, both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands are already broadcasting a signal with the same wireless network name.
2. I wanted help/suggestions on what devices I should connect to what network to get the best performance out of it.
Do exactly nothing. Wireless devices will automatically connect to the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band based on their capabilities (an older iPhone cannot connect to 5 GHz, for example)...and...the relative distance between the wireless device and AirPort Extreme.
If you have newer devices that are capable of connecting using 5 GHz, they will connect at that frequency if they are in the same room or close proximity to the AirPort Extreme. If you walk your laptop a few rooms away, it will probably connect to 2.4 GHz, since those signals are much stronger than 5 GHz signals.
The point is, you do not need to be concerned about this. Devices connect to the best signal quality automatically. -

I chose the wrong category in support before I came to the forum (I chose service request and troubleshooting instead of using ipod with itunes, and they had me run an ios diagnostic quick test. What exactly does that do if I'm not having problems? Can that harm the files or hardware on the ipod if I'm not having any problem with my ipod and don't want to troubleshoot anything on it?
I have no idea what iOS test you are talking about,. Please provided details.
I can't imagine that the test would effect the iPod. -
I am a new Mac owner, and I'm currently stationed in Kuwait. My MacBook gets super hot on the bottom and it's performance starts to degrade. The weather here is in the mid 80's now, I can only imagine this problem will get much worse once the temps go above 100 in the near future.

Is it better to connect my Time Capsule up to my existing wireless network or use the Airport Time Capsule as the base unit and start over again by creating a new network?
There is no end of answers to this..
But if you want AC wireless.. assuming you bought a new TC.. and the Extreme is the older N model.. then simply make sure the TC is as close as possible to where wireless AC client will be used.. and connect it back to the main router whichever that is, by ethernet.
If both are AC then it will make no difference.
As long as you can connect them both by ethernet and not use wireless extend.. it won't make much difference.
The worst case is where you use wireless extend and expect high speed but totally lose it because of your bridge link.. if that is the case you wasted your money and you can return the TC and buy a hard disk and plug it into the AE. -
i have a problem in my message tone,may be a bug,it hangs and plays itself please help
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
