  • Mac Book pro can't connect to Internet through Apple airport extreme base station

    I had problems connecting to the internet in the past with my macbook pro.  One day it suddenly started working again but then I bought a second apple TV I lost connectivity.  I have tried changing the IP address manually and while it shows me connected to the wifi I am still with out internet.  When I hooked up the new Apple TV that I bought it booted my computer from it's ip address.  The apple TV though wouldn't work and now nor would my computer.  I ended up setting the Apple TV's ip address manually and now it works fine. My computer on the other hand does not no matter if I set it manually or not.  Even if I plug in the ethernet cable from the base station it doesn't work.  It show that it has a self assigned IP address.  After I set it manually it shows that I am connected both via wifi and the ethernet cable but I can't connect to the internet.  If I plug the modem directly into the computer bypassing the base station I get internet and it is using the IP address that worked originally.
    It has something to do with the connection from the base station to my computer but this is odd considering every other device I have: iPhone 4, apple tv, apple tv, apple mini with retina display all work perfectly via wifi (newest apple tv had to be set manually as I stated above but now works fine).  When I check the ip of the base station itself it seems to be different from the ip of the computer when the computer was connected directly to the router.  I don't understand why my computer now can't connect to the internet via the base station whether it be wifi or by ethernet.  Can you please help me trouble shoot this?
    I have an AirPort Extreme base station which allows up to 50 users and a 30 meg connection speed.
    I have a MacBook Pro (17-inch Early 2009), OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

    It has something to do with the connection from the base station to my computer
    I don't think so..
    I just posted a reply which totally vanished.. strange strange website now.
    Please post some screenshots of your AE setup from the airport utility.. I want to see the summary page, then the network and internet tab.
    Please tell us what modem you use.. is it a router??
    If you have satellite or 3G wimax etc service they often are limited to 5 IP addresses... the AE takes one and then 4 more devices can join .. no more.
    You need to also give us the screenshot of the IP you are getting in a computer that works.
    EDIT
    Sorry this is half double post.. the previous page refused to display.. now it has returned..

    windows can't find harddisk (connected through usb-hub to airport extreme) although airport utility can

    There are a number of posts related to copying issues between Windows Vista / 7 and AirPort Disks. Two potential solutions being forwarded are: 1) Changing the LAN Manager authentication level, and/or 2) Disabling the Windows Search feature.
     To change the LAN Manager authentication level:
    From the Windows Vista / 7 desktop, click Start
    Search for: security
    Click 'Local Security Policy'
    Goto Local Policies > Security Options
    Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level'
    Change level to: Send LM & NTLM responses
    Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including RPC) clients'
    De-select 'Require 128-bit encryption'
    Click OK
     To disable Windows Search:
    Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features
    On the right-hand side, click "Turn Windows features on/off"
    Scroll down, and de-select "Windows Search".
    Press OK, close all windows and restart.
     A third "solution," that has worked for me, is verify that both the AirPort base station and the Win7 PC are using the exact same Workgroup Name. In my case, I use "WORKGROUP" (without the quote marks) for this name. From the AirPort Utility, you would enter this value on the Disks > File Sharing tab. On Win7, Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System > Change Settings > Change > Workgroup

  • How do I get rid of the error message "There was an error connecting to the server “Office AirPort Extreme” ?

    How do I get rid of the error message "There was an error connecting to the server “Office AirPort Extreme” ?  This message shows up 3 times when I boot my iMac.

    I do have a USB hard drive hooked up to the Airport.  I've never created an AppleScript for it.  Should I disconnect the USB drive and see if I still get the error message?
    Thanks for your reply!

  • Using ARD remotely connecting to work computer with Airport Extreme...

    So I've looked through the forums, over the interwebs, through the ARD PDF manuals online and I'm coming up short. Ugh.
    I want to connect from my home laptop to my desktop at my small business where we're using an Airport Extreme for a router. I can NOT figure out how to get this configured to work. We use ARD within the business, so on the same network, no problems. With the router, I'm guessing I need to get the computer setup to have a locked in IP and whatnot but no where can I find the instructions that tell me EVERTHING I need to do. Can someone here point me in the right direction please or hit me over the head with a 2x4 of exact instructions!
    Thanks for your time! Shawn

    Hi Shawn,
    So the steps listed bellow assume some things. They assume that the Airport Extreme Router your configuring is connected directly to the internet connection. And that the Airport Extreme is the only router between your computers and the internet.
    That means we're talking about say a DSL modem plugged directly into the Airport Extreme, or a cable modem. in ether case, this assumes that said modem, is not acting as an internet router.
    If your modem has multiple ethernet ports on it, or has a little antenna sticking out of it, then your modem is probable also a router, and these steps listed bellow will probable not work.
    Also these steps are so one person, can connect to one computer at your work.
    Open Airport Utility:
    go to the dock
    Click on the finder
    go to the menu bar
    Click on the "Go" menu
    Chose "Utilities" from the "Go" Menu
    double Click on "AirPort Utility"
    Access the Base Station:
    Double Click on your Airport Extreme BaseStation that is your internet connection router.
    a new window should pop up with your Airport Base Station as the Window Name
    Configure Static Address for the computer you want to connect to via ARD:
    Click on the internet Icon from the toolbar
    Click on the "DHCP" tab
    For "DHCP Reservations:"  Click on the "+" button
    For the "Description" put "ARD"
    For "Reserve Address by:"  set "DHCP Client ID"
    Click the "Continue" button
    For "DHCP Client ID:" set "ARD"
    write down the number in "IPv4" address field
    Click the "Done" Button
    Configure routing to ARD computer:
    Click on the "Advanced" icon from the tool bar.
    Click on the "Port Mapping" tab
    Click on the "+" button
    for "Service:" Chose "Apple Remote Desktop"
    for "Private IP Address:" copy the exact IP address you wrote down in step "3. 8)"
    Click the "Continue" button
    Click the "Done" button
    Click the "+" button
    For the pulldown menu "Service:" Chose "Remote Apple Events"
    for "Private IP Address:" copy the exact IP address you wrote down in step "3. 8."
    Click the "Continue" button
    Click the "Done" button
    Click the "+" button
    For the pulldown menu "Service:" Chose "Remote Login - SSH"
    for "Private IP Address:" copy the exact IP address you wrote down in step "3. 8."
    Click the "Continue" button
    Click the "Done" button
    Click the "Update" button.
    wait for the Airport Extreme to update, and for your computer to reconnect to the airport extreme. (make sure you can load and browse websites.)
    Configure the ARD computer to use the correct IP address:
    Go to the computer you want to be able to remotely connect to
    On that computer, Go to the menu bar
    Chose the "Apple" menu bar
    Chose "System Preferences…"
    Click on the "Show All" button
    Click on the "Network" icon
    For the active network connection, (the connection on the left side with the green dot), click on it
    Clock on the "Advanced…" button
    Click on the "TCP/IP" tab
    for the "DHCP Cient ID: field put "ARD".
    Click the "OK" button
    Click the "Apply" buttonNOTE: Under "Status" you should see "(connection name) is connected to (airport base station name) and has the IP address (IP address)." the "(IP address)" address displayed should match the IP address you wrote down in step "3. 8."
    Find out what your public internet IP address is.
    On the computer you wish to connect to over the internet, goto http://whatismyipaddress.com/
    when the web page loads, you should see "IP Information:" fallow by a number like 192.168.0.1, write down what ever number it is.
    At this point you should be able to connect to the computer remotely
    connect to the internet from another location.
    open Apple Remote Desktop
    go to the file menu
    chose connect to computer using ip address
    set the address to the address to the IP address you wrote down for step 6. 2.
    use the same password as you used to connect to the computer at work using ARD.
    So here the catch. If your router gets reset... well then your going to have to configure it again. Also all the same rules you have to connect to the computer at work, also apply to connecting to the computer from over the local network. That means your computer need to be on or sleeping. And if it's sleeping it need to be configure to wake for network access.
    Also some network connections change.  When it comes to internet connections, some connections are static IP, while other connections are DHCP. If your connection is static... great! if it's DHCP, your address may change. If it dose.. well then your ability to connect will break. And then you'd have to do step 6 & 7 again.
    Of corse there are ways around this. But that's kind of another conversation.
    Some internet locations may block your ability to connect to your computer at work. This is very common at schools, and companies. Basically any place that tries to control your ability to browse the internet, may block remote access to computers; because a remote computer would completely by pass their web filter.
    ALSO there is an easier option. As far as setup. There are programs designed to make remotely accessing your mac as easy as possible. For instance there is LogMeIn or Slack. With both of these programs, it's simple. make sure your computer is always on. Then install the software. Create an account with the service. And then you can connect to the computer almost any where by going to their website.
    This option requires no router configuration. It handles DHCP. It's designed to work in as many locations as possible.

    Try reseting the SMC.

  • Managing multiple iOS devices on different Apple accounts from the same iMac

    May be a very simple question to answer, but can I manage multiple iOS devices on different Apple accounts from the same iMac?
    I ask as whilst I'm totally Mac'd, my partner who has her own Apple account has a Winows laptop and experiences problems updating iOS software on her iPhone 4S and iPad 3 Gen via the laptop. I'm thinking the problems may be overcome if we manage her iOS devices through my iMac.

    Thanks dwb .... I thought there'd be a catch .... not to keen on all that media and apps on my iMac!
    The specific problem is that whenever she updates to the latsest version of iOS using the latest iTunes for Windows on her PC laptop she seems to lose something in the process. One time she lost all her texts and the other day when updating to 5.1.1 she lost all her reminders. Not the end of the world but frustrating and shouldn't really happen and doesn't happen to me using the iMac and OSX.

  • How do you connect AT&T uVerse to AirPort Extreme?

    I have tried connecting a new AirPort Extreme to my existing AT&T uVerse internet but the flashing amber light never stops. I am somewhat tech savy but am hoping someone can give me a simple process to get it to work. Does anyone have experience doing this? Ideally I would like the AirPort Extreme to be the only router versus going through the AT&T 2 wire, 3800HGV-B device.

    Power up the AirPort Extreme for a few minutes, then hold in the reset button firmly on the back of the AirPort Extreme for 10 seconds and then release. Allow a full minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
    The reset button is located just to the right of the AC power plug.
    Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the four LAN <-> ports on the Uverse router to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Extreme
    On the iPad home screen....
    Tap Settings
    Tap WiFi
    Under the heading of Setup a new AirPort Base Station, tap on AirPort Extreme
    The setup utility will open up and take a minute to analyze the network, then a screen that looks like this will appear with an icon of the AirPort Extreme
    Type in a simple name that you want to call your wireless network
    Type in a name for the AirPort Extreme that you want to use
    Type in a password
    Verify the password
    Tap Next
    The utility will setup things for you in a minute or two. When you see the message of Setup Complete, tap Done.
    You should have a green light on the Airport Extreme, so you can select the wireless network that you named and enter the password to connect from your devices.

  • How to access a USB disk drive connected to Airport Extreme from a Windows 7 PC?

    How can I access a USB disk drive connected to Airport Extreme from a Windows 7 PC?

    ...Called it a roaming network.  Wireless mode is create a wireless network. I have checked allow this network to be extended.  Probably need to uncheck that?
    Yes, that option should be deselected as it only pertains to when both routers are interconnected by wireless. Since you have a roaming network, they of course, would be interconnected by Ethernet.
    The other important settings for a roaming network are:
    Each router must have a unique station name. For the AirPort, this would be called its Base Station Name. I believe the default station name for Linksys routers is: linksys
    Each router must broadcast a wireless network with an identical Network Name. For the Linksys, Network Name is the same as its SSID.
    Each router wireless network must use the same Wireless Security type and password. The Linksys WRT-54G is capable of up to WPA2 Personal. If you have it set to this level of security, the AirPort should be at the same setting.
    Make sure that each router is not on the same Radio Channel for the 2.4 GHz radio. In the US, there are basically only three non-overlapping channels: 1, 6, or 11. Set each so that they don't use the same channel but use of those three choices.

  • Connecting Time Capsule wirelessly to Airport Extreme

    Hello,
    I have just purchased a Time Capsule v7.3.1. I am trying to have my Airport Extreme connect wirelessly to my Time Capsule and then use the ethernet connection "wired" to my Xbox. I am unable to get an ethernet address that works when connected via ethernet. I had two Airport extreme's previously connected via wireless and had my Xbox connected via Ethernet on my one Extreme and things worked fine. It seems that my Time Capsule when connected via wireless to my Airport Extreme isn't getting a valid ethernet DHCP address and I cannot get it to work. When I use the wireless connection on my Airport Extreme it seems to work fine when I access the wireless connection to the Airport Extreme. However, wired does not.. Time Capsule

    your secondary router should be placed using the manual button once Airport Utility is launched in "bridge" mode. then configure your ethernet and wireless.

  • Trying to connect Verizon wireless router to Airport Extreme but error says Ethernet unplugged.

    Trying to connect Verizon wireless router to Airport Extreme and error says Ethernet Unplugged.

    So, AirPort Utility running on the Windows Vista desktop can "see" the AirPort Extreme and displays its icon, but gives that error message at some point in the setup process? How far does it get?
    Other questions that may help me (or somebody else) understand your problem better:
    Which of the pieces were verified as working before the introduction of the AirPort Extreme?
    Did you have the desktop computer attached to the Verizon GT704WGB with one of the Ethernet cables you are now trying to use? Which one? Have you tried the other one to be sure it also works?
    Are you using the same port on the GT704WGB? Have you tried another one?
    If the desktop has multiple ethernet ports, are you using the same one?
    Had you done any special configuration of the ethernet port on the Verizon GT704WGB to get it to work with your desktop?
    What category ethernet cable are you using? 3? 5? 5e? 6?

  • Connecting our Xbox360 to our existing Apple Airport Extreme Base Station.

    We have an existing Apple Airport Extreme Base Station at home (connected to a Motorola brand Cable-DSL Modem). This wireless network works magnificently for our PowerBook and iBook... and even for the PC laptops a couple of our "friends" have brought over (and they have to work outside on the porch, since we don't let them in the house with those things).
    We broke down and purchased the Xbox360 along with the Xbox360 Wireless Adapter, but I can't get it to connect to our network wirelessly. It connected automatically though, when I used the ethernet cable from the Xbox360 to the Airport Extreme Base Station's output port.
    Our wireless network is hidden, and we'd really like to keep it that way for security reasons. Does anyone know if this is possible? Or do we have to sacrifice our network security just to be able to connect wirelessly... so we can get the latest version of that damm Bejeweled game... okay, and play games online... and get HD Movie Trailers that look amazing... I actually am excited about that part.

    Thanks for the info iFelix. And wow, speedy too. You
    must be a fast typer. (I'm just a Hunt-&-Peck kind of
    guy.)
    No not too fast I can cut and paste from my file of usual responses.
    I'm not really "that" worried about security. We just
    have a couple of those "nosey-neighbor" types living
    close by, and they both work in I.T. I sound a little
    paranoid, I know. But you'd understand if you met
    these guys.
    Use WPA and they won't be able to access your network even though they can see it.
    So I should reset the Base Station to WPA?
    Yes
    Is that
    the factory setting?
    No
    A guy I work with said I need to
    reset the Base Station to "Factory Settings" to get
    the Xbox360 to connect wirelessly. Is this true?
    Yes, but then you would have no security!!!
    And for the password, I shouln't use any real word(s)?
    Applications > Utilities > Airport Admin Utility
    Scan and Select your Airport
    On the Airport Tab
    Change Wireless Security
    Use WPA Personal
    Use a password like this:
    4fghj8eybs9nf78swnu
    Remember to write it down.
    I would also change the Wireless Network Name as well, but this is not needed.
    Click OK
    Click Update
    You will now be thrown off the wireless network.
    Wait at least five minutes.
    The from the Airport icon in the menu bar, select your network, you will be asked for your password, enter the password, check keep in Keychain (so your Mac will remember it).
    That's it.
    Don't worry about using anything else, WPA is pretty much uncrackable unless you use a dictionary word for a password such as "table".

  • How to connect a hard drive on Airport Extreme (second edition)

    how to connect a hard drive on Airport Extreme (second edition)? Does it need a special format? It is now fromat on FAT32, but i don't see it ??

    The USB port your Mac is high powered. The port on the AirPort Extreme is not.
    So, it tends to be borderline as far as its ability to supply sufficient power to a hard drive...even if the hard drive has its own power supply.
    Often, users...including me....need to use a powered USB hub when they attach any drive to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme.
    You might want to give that a try. Double check to make sure that the drive is formatted in FAT32 as well, since Windows NTFS or exFAT will not work with the AirPort Extreme.
    Powering down and restarting the entire network.....modem first, then router, etc.....is something that you would always want to do after any change or addition to a network.

    Is it possible to speak on the phone?  The situation is so convoluted it might be easier to help me get back on track in person. When I first had this issue I got on an apple site that had a chat room in which I typed in my problem.  After several missives back and forth, the apple technician asked for my number and we spoke on the phone. The technician walked me through rebooting the actual airport plug (as opposed to the router box) and got me up and running. Do you know how I can relocate that chat site for technical support?
