Installed airport extreme now can't get to Hotmail or MSN..
I use a Linksys router and I can access the rest of the web no problem from my Mac, just not Hotmail or MSN. Tried deleting and re-installing Messenger to no avail. I should add I can get to Hotmail and MSN no problem using my other computer (Sony vaio) on the same wireless network.
So is it a Hotmail problem or something to do with the airport extreme card? do I need to do something with the ports? before I used to use cable modem with the Mac, and hotmail, Messenger etc worked no problem.
Thanks for any ideas

Imac G4 (dome base thingy) Mac OS X (10.3.9) aiport extreme card, airport express
Please can anyone help? I have spent hours trying to fix this. Is it likely to be a problem with the way I configured the card when I installed it? An encryption problem? I have no problems with access to any other websites from the same Mac.
Please...
Otherwise I suppose I will have to change email host...

After resetting my Airport Extreme, I can't get it to work! Please help!
Hey everyone!
I have an airport extreme base station (wireless n-gigabit ethernet) and awhile ago it stopped working on me. I simply reset my aebs and whenever I open airport utility and try and configure my aebs, it tells me I have an error and can't connect to the aebs. I have comcast internet service and my aebs is connected to my router. It's been working successfully for about a couple months and now it's stopped working. : (
I've tried this both in manual setup and the regular setup. I've gone through the trouble of doing a hard reset (pressing the reset button until it flashes amber), I've unplugged the power while holding the reset button, connecting my laptop with the aebs via ethernet, making sure everything is updated (and it is), resetting the router, and even reinstalled my airport utility disk.
Please help! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!I also tried setting up my aebs on my neighbor's internet and it worked like a charm! Setting up aebs was as easy as when it first worked. Now if only I can get it to work on my internet...

How can I set up a WD My Cloud with my Airport Extreme - I can't get it to open ports 80 and 443?
For remote internet access to the WD My Cloud Mirror, I have been advised that ports 80 and 443 must be open in order to reach the WDMyCloudMirror. My Motorola Gateway (Surfboard SB6141) is connected directly to my Airport Extreme (WAN port) which is in turn connected to the WDMyCloudMirror (all by ethernet cables). I do not have FULL instructions on how to properly manually configure the Airport Extreme to open the ports. I have tried an earlier posting which provides many of the steps, but not all of the required information is included (how to determinge the IP address to be assigned, etc.). I did the best I could with the information given, but the test using "YouGetSignal" showed the ports as still closed and attemps to reach the WDMyCloudMirror by the internet failed as well (of course). The WDMyCloudMirror has enough Apple "stuff" included in it (software, I suspect) that an Apple legal acceptance is required for its set-up, yet Western Digital Tecnical Support is unable (or unwilling?) to help with this aspect of its configuration required to work within the Airport Extreme environment. I have returned the WD My Cloud Mirror to Amazon as "not able to work", but I have not given up the hope that I can eventually get the ports open so that I can get this cloud device, or one similar, to permit remote internet access.
Port Forwarding.....or Port Mapping....as Apple calls it is a difficult and complex configuration method for most users. Because there are so many variables involved in this type of setup, it is not possible to provide a step by step guide that will work for everyone with all devices.
It is possible that a setup guide exists for the the WD drive and AirPort Extreme, but you will have to go looking for it on the Internet. Even if you find one, it may not be tailored to your specific situation or needs.
Sometimes, you can do everything right....at least according to someone's article or "how to" guide, and things still will not work correctly.
In situations like this, when you really don't know what to do, you need to enlist the aid of an IT pro, who will know what to do based on your particular products and unique circumstances. Sometimes....they won't be able to get things working either due to particular circumstances.
But, before you do this, I would strongly recommend that you use a Static IP address for your Internet connection with your ISP. If you do not have this now, contact them to ask them if they offer this type of connection. Expect to pay more for this type of service, of course. -
Just installed airport card but can't get a solid signal
a few weeks ago an electrical storm blew out my ehternet port. i consulted a mac genius at the apple store and decided to avoid replacing my logic board by getting an airport card and wireless router. After installing this business last night i was delighted to see full bars on the signal icon. but then it instantly dropped to two bars. then none. then a few minutes later back to two, full, none, etc. My computer and the wireless router are pretty much right next to eachother- i'm not splitting the cable between my machine and anything else (no other computers, not the tv). can anyone suggest what might be causing the signal problem? there's a major heatwave, would that cause problems? also, should i have looked into getting an aditional ethernet card instead? i'm desparately trying to avoid taking my machine out of my house (it's a desktop and i live in Queens so it's a b-tch to take into the city) so i'm really hoping to make this wireless buisness work. thanks so much!
j9fleri, Welcome to the discussion area!
One (or more) of the following must be true:
The antenna wire isn't properly attached to the AirPort card. Is this the original AirPort card or the AirPort Extreme card? If it is the AirPort Extreme card, use the photos in KB 108039, Properly attaching the antenna on an AirPort Extreme Card to verify that the antenna wire is properly installed.
You are experiencing some sever RF interference. See KB 58543, AirPort: Potential sources of interference.
The wireless router isn't working properly. -
Sony Ericsson w705 connects to Airport Extreme but can't get data
My Sony Ericsson w705 has wifi, it connects to my Airport Extreme (802.11g 2004 model) network but cannot receive data to surf the net. I have managed to connect the handset to another wifi network so my settings must be the issue. I have been told that once connected I should be able to see a DNS address in my network settings.
I connect to my network wirelessly with my macbook without any issues.
When I connect to my network with the Sony Ericsson w705 there is no DNS address in the connection settings. Any ideas how I can fix this.
Thanks in advance
pdThanks for the tips, Bob & Bill. We've done a complete shutdown/restart cycle of modem, AirPort Extreme (sorry for the confusion on that!), and computer (turning back on in order from the wall on out), but we hadn't tried leaving the modem off for longer than a couple minutes, so I'll try that. Although it seems strange to me that it would talk to the computer but not to the base station. I've never seen that happen.
Bob, his connection is satellite, so the modem is whatever goes with that. I don't know how different it is from a DSL modem or a cable modem. (He lives out in the sticks, and that's his only option other than dial-up.)
Will post results ASAP. -
Always get an error message when installing airport extreme. Can not figure out why.
Hi.
I purchased four months ago a new airport extreeme base station in apple store in Amsterdam.
I connected the router to the airport extreeme And orange light flashed from it. I went to the wifi menu and chose from a list of available networks in airport extreeme. As soon as I select it the air port utility start automaticly and is begon to scan of my networks .at the end of it he did not recognize the product and giving me an error message every time. An unexpected error occurred please try again.
what should i do ???Okay so I tried to connect it physically with a cable directly into the computer.
I opened the window settings
Here's a picture A
After doing a configuration he asked me to give him a Password. I gave him a Password and then he started doing a scan. After which he again wrote me an unexpected problem occurred and to try again. -
Installed Windows 8 now can't get into Mac OS
NOOB MAC USER NEEDS IMMEDIATE HELP TO GET MACBOOK PRO WORKING AGAIN FOR SCHOOL!!!
I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to Mac's. I recently installed Windows 8 Consumer Preview Release on my desktop and thought it was really neat. The thought popped into my head to do the same to my Macbook Pro 15" using Boot Camp. I swear I did everything right, and installed it the way it was supposed to be installed. However, for some reason my Macbook isn't booting into OS X. When I boot it up it boots straight into Windows 8 without a boot up selection or anything. So, what I did is I used EasyBCD for Windows to edit the BOOTMGR add Mac OS X to the BOOTMGR to try and boot into OS X from the selection menu. When I do that, a couple of screens pop up very quickly with some command line codes, and then it goes to a screen that says "Darwin/x86 boot v5.0.132 - Chameleon v2.0-RC4 r684" on the top left and one selection that says "Press any key to start up from Windows NTFS, or press F8 to enter startup options." From here it's got "Macintosh HD" and "Windows NTFS". I select "Macintosh HD" and a line pops up at the top left of the screen saying "Hibernate session is too old by 2077 seconds. Use ForceWake=y to override." However, I have no idea how to go by inputting that command to override the hibernate session. I've tried looking up a way to get into the Mac "BIOS" or firmware to see if I could do it from there, but nothing seems to get me into it.
Once again, I'm a bit of a noob with Mac's. I obviously made a boo-boo trying to do this without a veteran Mac user present or assisting me. I'd GREATLY appreciate if I got some help to fix this ASAP because I use my Mac for school, and all my files and programs for school are essentially unreachable.
UPDATE: Discovered that I had to hold down "Option" key to go into the EFI boot selection and was able to select the Macintosh HD and get into the Mac OS. However, when I just turn the computer on and let it boot itself, using the BOOTMGR selection for the Mac OS, it goes through all the steps I outlined above. I can boot into Windows 8 this way, but not to the Mac OS.

This does not sound good. Any noise that is like a finger nail on scratchboard could be a sign the hard drive is nearly dead. Take it to an authorized service technician if the sound is reproducible.
Hopefully your data is backed up. -
Installed squid proxy, now can't get to HTTPS
I installed the squid proxy along with dansguardian to provide content filtering on the home Mac... but discovered that since installing it I no longer have access to HTTPS. Plus it's just too complicated... I thought I'd uninstalled it, but even after uninstalling it and removing the squid and dansguardian launch daemons, I still can't access https:// sites. Yes, I've removed all proxy settings.
What to do now?Please can anyone help? I have spent hours trying to fix this. Is it likely to be a problem with the way I configured the card when I installed it? An encryption problem? I have no problems with access to any other websites from the same Mac.

Recently moved and installed ATT DLS - I use their wireless router and connectted my airport express - Now I'm getting the Blue ? on some images - and at times - videos don't load. I've increased / deleted Cache. Suggestions? Misconfig? Could it be possible my configuration from MacBook to router isn't correct?
Thanks!JG,
Thanks for the info.
Couple of questions. I found an apple support document on this topic that opened with this line:
"AirPort Express and all AirPort Extreme base stations can use WDS. Earlier AirPort base stations can't."
If the TC is an airport extreme base station, why can't this work to extend the network? I think I misunderstand. Here is the full article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2044?viewlocale=en_US
If I buy a new airport extreme, set it to wireless-n only as my main router, am I correct that my existing time capsule could be used as a bridge if plugged in upstairs?
Final question (and that should do it), could I take this old airport express, plug it in upstairs using the ethernet connection, and just create a separate wireless network to use with a different name?
I'd like to keep one network if possible but just kicking around short term solutions.
Thanks again. -

When attempting to set a password on my Airport Extreme Guest Network i get this "Advertising a service globally using Bonjour requires a global hostname." What does it mean. Or what i need to do to correct it.
When trying to troubleshoot my problem I discovered a forum that was saying certain NTFS drives work just fine
Apple support says that an NTFS or exFAT drive cannot be used when connected to the AirPort Extreme.
I suppose it is possible that someone might have been using some type of special software on the drive that might perform a "conversion", but without more details, it is hard to know.
Note: ExFAT and NTFS formats aren't supported.
