How old are the various devices? It could be possible for you to have configured a very new AirPort Extreme in a way that older iPhones and iPads could not access. For example, could you have set up the Extreme to use only 801.11n and 5GHz?

  • I just upgraded to the iOS 5 and icloud, but now all my pictures are gone! How do I get them back?

    I have an iphone and just upgraded to the iOS 5 and icloud, but now all my pictures are gone! How do I get them back?? It's weird because it said with the upgrade your photos would be kept, but apps would be erased, yet my apps synced over and not my pictures...

    I have EXACTLY the same issue.  I would appreciate the response also.  Was not prepared for this.

  • Playlist just scrolls through tunes at top of screen but won't allow me to play them

    my playist just scrolls through each title in the list but won't allow me to stop it nor will it play anything from playlists.  installed iOS6 and it worked fine until today (about a week).  Also turned on iTunes match and it continued to work for about 3 weeks.  Still works on my other iphone4, but not on my 4s.  Power down and up didn't work to fix the 4s - phone still sees titles, but only scrolls through them on its own and won't play any tunes

    Hi Diver,
    I haven't ever seen this happen, but if quitting apps and hard resets don't do it you might want to start clean. Are you able to run a backup of your iPad mini? If I was in your shoes, I would back up the iPad, erase the iPad and then restore the data to see if that fixes it.
    Step 1 would be to back up the data (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).
    Step 2 would be to restore the iPad to factory settings (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414).
    Step 3 would be to restore the backup (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).
    Hope this helps!!

    i have most of the pictures off it but the last time i used it i took a few more pics and havent backed up since.

  • Will airport extreme work with Mac OS v10.6?

    I have an Imac from 2009, Using OS X v 10.6.8 and cannot get an airport extreme to match.  I kept getting a msg to upgrade airport utility hardware 6.2.2, but then an unable to do so.    Are the 2 incompartible?   I thought the advantage of apple products was connectivity.   Any thoughts are appreciated!!  Paul

    The most recent AirPort Extreme works without any problem with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the problem is that it requires AirPort Utility 6.3 to set it up, and this version is only available for OS X Lion and Mountain Lion.
    If you don't want to upgrade Mac OS X and you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you can use them to set up your AirPort Extreme. Open Settings > Wi-Fi, choose your AirPort station and follow the steps.
    If you don't have any of those devices, upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion. Open the Mac App Store and purchase it. Make a backup of your data with Time Machine and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com When the download finishes, upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion. After upgrading, open  > Software Update, and install AirPort Utility 6.3, which you have to open and follow its steps.
    The other option is to return your AirPort Extreme and get an older one

  • I have an iphone 4 and I have just upgraded to iOS 5. I have lost my progress bar and song repeat function, how can I get them back?

    I have an iphone 4 and I have just upgraded to iOS 5. Unlike some people, I have not really had any problems but I am really annoyed with the new music feature. I have lost my progress bar abd song repeat function. Does anyone know how I can get them back?

    Glad to hear it all works for you.
    For future reference, if your iPhone misbehaves, always try a Reset. It's painless and often solves the problem.
       Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).
    Enjoy.

  • Airport Extreme working with iMac but not with Windows 7 Laptop!

    My iMac (OSX 10.5.8) has been working fine with my Airport Extreme, but a new member of our household cannot connect wirelessly with their Windown 7 Laptop. The PC can see the wireless name for our household and says it is connected to it, but there is a problem actually connecting to the internet. Has anyone experienced similar problems? We are at a loss as to what to do. Applecare were no help (despite forking out for the advanced applecare warranty) and both Mac and PC service providers blame each other. Any advice would be much appreicated. Surely the Airport Extreme can talk simultaneously to PC and Mac wireless computers?

    I have had the same issue. Airplay working with all devices apart from one windows 7 (the actual media server) and have spent over a week trying to resolve it.
    This worked for me.
    Turn off windows firewall and in my instance macafee. Be warned while macafee says that it's off there are services running all the time.
    You will need to open macafee settings and turn off access protection first
    Then search services from start bar
    Open services and filter by manufacturer
    Stoop all macafee services
    Right click the start bar
    Open task manager
    Stop all macafee processes
    Try your airport utility you should now see your express
    If you can you will see your icon in iTunes
    This pores that it's likely to be a macafee issues. Of course you do not want to leave the firewall off so I installed macafee and installed a fresh copy turning both the windows and macafee firewall on with no resultant issues
    Hope this helps

  • Airport Extreme works with ethernet but i CAN'T ADD IT TO MY WIRELESS ?

    I'm able to set up airport extreme with ethernet but for some reason i can not add it to my wireless network. Why is this ? I cant figure it out.. by now im connected hard wired airport extreme and 2wire modem is working fine.
    Yesterday i was able to do it without the ethernet cable and it was succesfuly joined to my wireless network but it went amber color maybe cause it was disconnected by accident.
    Any suggestions? or solutions?

    Same here. I have clearwwire and my airport extreme base station was working fine until 3 days ago. My computer cannot find the base station; tried everything. I can get internet if I connect clearwire via ethernet port. What gives? All I get is the blinking amber light. Is it just broken?

  • Airport express working on mac but not on pc

    My airport express works wonderfully on my Macbook Pro, but I would also like my PC to connect to the same network. I have tried everything that I have found online, and the PC will not recognize or "find" the airport network. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Ok, thanks for the additional info.
    I suggest trying the following:
    o Temporarily disable the WPA/WPA2 Personal wireless encryption, and then, check to see if any of the XP devices can now access the network/Internet?
    o If they can't then, while the encryption is still disabled, change the radio mode on the AX to a non-"n" one, like "802.11g only." You can access this mode, by holding down the <Option> (Mac) or <Control> (PC) key prior to selecting the mode within the AirPort Utility. Can they access the network/Internet now?

  • AirPort Extreme Card recognizes networks but won't connect - HELP!

    hello forumites,
    firstly, if this post is similar to one that has already been well-read and widely responded to, i apologize and ask that you respond with the link to said thread.
    my issue pertains to an iBook G4 (circa 2004 i believe) running OS X 10.4.11 with an apple-installed AirPort Extreme card (firmware version 405.1). i have never had any problems with the card previously, but in the last week it has quite suddenly ceased to connect to any wireless network i attempt to log on to (both password protected and non). despite the card's sudden inability to connect, it still is able to recognize all the wireless networks in my location (i know this as the networks are still listed in the AirPort status pull-down menu).
    in an effort to fix the issue i have:
    restarted the card (turned it off and on)
    restarted the computer (many, many times)
    used the network diagnostics program
    used the network setup assistant program
    attempted to connect through the system preferences (network)
    attempted to connect through internet connect
    did a complete erase and install
    still nothing.
    anyone had a similar problem? anyone find a way to fix it?
    thanking you in advance for your brilliance and time,
    brad

    firstly, tesserax, a tremendous thank you for your help. unfortunately, i tried each step you suggested, but the problem continues.
    step 1: i have tried and failed to connect to several different networks in a handful of locations (home, work, friend's house, local coffee shop, etc.).
    step 2: i have disabled my own wireless encryption as well as the wireless encryption at a friends house, however, to do so i had to use their ibook, as my own either didn't list the base station in the AirPort utility (although it did list the base station in the AirPort status pull down), or it asked for a password even though the base station wasn't password protected (maybe this may add some insight into the issue?).
    step 3: i have connected the computer directly to the modem using an ethernet cable and was able to go online - perhaps this means the problem is related solely to the card.
    step 4: i moved the the com.apple.networkConfig.plist file and and the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop and restarted. unfortunately, OS did NOT rebuild the files. instead, i had to go through the network diagnostics to rebuild them manually. while the files were replaced, the problem was not solved.
    step 5: i reset the PRAM, but the problem still exists.
    step 6: i reset the PMU, but the problem still exists.
    i then tried various combinations of your suggestions, including moving the files out of the preferences folder and then reseting the PRAM and the PMU, but still nothing.
    after having attempted every fix i could think of (and that was before posting to this forum) i did a full erase and install of the OS. since that's usually the cure all to whatever ails the computer, it's my assumption that the issue is a physical (hardware) one. that said, if you have any other suggestions i will be more than happy to give them a shot.
    thanks again,
    brad

  • Is it possible to setup AirPort Express as Wireless Bridge but won't allow wifi access through it?

    What I want to do is connect a printer to the AirPort Express through it's ethernet and wirelessly bridge to my main router (AirPort Extreme). But is it possible to turn off the AirPort Express' wifi access? Meaning it's wifi is solely used for bridging to my main router and block off other devices access to it through it's wifi? The only solution I can think of is giving the AirPort Express a different name and password, but is there a better way of doing it?

    What I want to do is connect a printer to the AirPort Express through it's ethernet and wirelessly bridge to my main router
    That is possible, assuming that the AirPort Express will be located where it can receive a strong wireless signal.
    But is it possible to turn off the AirPort Express' wifi access? Meaning it's wifi is solely used for bridging to my main router and block off other devices access to it through it's wifi?
    Configure the AirPort Express to "join a wireless network".....not "extend a wireless network"..... and it will provide no additional wireless signal coverage.
    The only solution I can think of is giving the AirPort Express a different name and password,
    That won't work, since the AirPort Express must be configured to connect to the AirPort Extreme wireless network using the same name and same password as the main network.

  • Yesterday i downloaded lion osx for 23 euros,it already was on my mac but apple took my money ???how can i get my money back ??

    i finally bought a Mac a few days ago but it doesn't seem so easy to start .Yesterday i decided to download the last version of osx (10.4.7 ?)but it took too much time to be obvious...tomorrow i can see that the version i bought already was on the hd when i payed for it first...how can i get my money back ?

    Hi..
    Since you just purchased the Mac, it can pre installed with Lion.
    Yesterday i decided to download the last version of osx (10.4.7 ?
    v10.7.4 is the lastest version available for Lion currently.
    The problem is that the App Store has no way of knowing that your Mac already had Lion installed, that's why you were charged.
    Apple's policy states that, "all sales are final" >  iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    But yoy can take advantage of that download to create an installtion disc >  How to create an OS X Lion installation disc | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews

  • Had to download 3.5 to get some of my toolbars to work, as a result I lost all of my bookmarks. How do I get them back?

    Version 3.6.6 got hung up. A friend of mine looked at it and told me it was because of 2 of my favorite toolbars. He uninstalled it and reinstalled it, and it was still the toolbars. So he downloaded version 3.5, but it would only let me have my toolbars in 'safe mode' Now as a result of that, I have lost all of my book marks, and it will not book mark any new pages. Good thing I also have IE 8 . . . LOL How do I get my book marks back?

    You really should be doing backups with an actual backup application, especially one that will work automatically, and, if your external HD is large enough, back up your entire system.  These can automatically back up only what's changed since the  previous backup, and some will keep "archive" copies of things you've changed or deleted, also.
    Too many things can go wrong, such as your internal HD failing, and you'll have a major project to reinstall everything.
    You already have Time Machine, built-in to OSX.  You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
    #27 in the second link mentions some alternatives, too.

    Hi ckuan,
    Thanks alot for the advice - great to see there are so many helpful people out there . Anyway, I followed your instructions and although some of the apps transferred from i tunes to my iPad the first time, unfortunately some of the apps that I selected to transfer (which were purchased) did not transfer. There were only a few but it would have been great to have got them back onto my iPad!
    Chow for now!
