Just pluged in my airport extreme and it shows up in my wifi list, but it will not connect to the internet. its flashing amber. ive done just about everything on the instruction manual and website, and it still does not work.
so what do i have to do now? i think i just bought a new paper weight. but i am connected to the internet but the ethenet through the airport extreme.
When changing/adding/replacing network equipment, it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of all your equipment to make sure that they are communicating properly with each other.
Please try the following:
Power-down the modem, AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), and computer(s); wait at least 10-15 minutes. Note: The power-down order is not critical.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize and establish an Internet connection via your ISP.
Power-up the AEBS; wait at least 5-10 minutes or until its status light is a solid green.
Power-up the computer(s). Your computers should now be able to access the Internet connected either by wire or wireless to the AEBS.
Note: The AEBS may continue to have a flashing amber status light. This would, most likely, mean that it requires additional configuration changes, like setting up wireless security or a newer version of firmware is available.

I have an iPad 2 that is updated and using 6.0.1. It is connecting to my wifi just fine. I just purchased a 4th generation iPad. It shows it is connected to the same wifi, same strong signal, but it will not work. HELP!!!
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro, I am trying to run MW3 but it will not work without crashing a few minuets into the game. The general specs on my computer are a dual processor 2.53 ghz. 4 gb ram and a NVIDIA geforce 9400 (9600 is the alternate card).
Things to note:
I have been unable to update firmware on this computer for about a year now. Im not sure why.
I am running a bootleg copy of Windows XP on this computer, I would not like to spend $149 to get Windows 7 if possible.
any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you.Why don't you take your 'old' MBP into your local Apple Store and have them check out everything that's wrong with it - and I mean everything? Then, when you get an estimate about how much it would cost to get the machine completely repaired, ask about the Apple flat-rate repair pricing?
It's worth a shot - and with what you may save, you can put in the bank for a new MBP.

I have downloaded the latest Adobe Flash - it says successful but will not work. It says to 'Manage Plug-ins but the Plug-in says it is enabled but it will not work at all. I have tried disabling and then enabling - no success. Please help!
There's two different versions of Flash. The ActiveX version for IE, and the Plugin version for other browsers. Did you install the correct version? This forum's software doesn't thing that Flash is installed for Firefox or the Plugin is disabled.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
Save it to your Desktop.<br />
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />
See this: <br />

I'm trying to add album art to a CD I imported but it will not work. The album art will add to other albums but it won't show on the album. The CD is imported from Japan, didn't think that would be a problem. Does anyone know a solution?
Vanguard,
You are welcome. As I gather you have now figured out, any of the other formats (AAC, MP3, AIFF, or Apple Lossless) can handle artwork just fine.
Enjoy the music!

When I connect the printer to the Airport via USB and run Bonjour, it recognizes that I have a Canon printer but does not have the mp560 as one of the choices.
I spoke with Apple support but they could not help...they said they thought it was a Windows issue and that it had something to do with one of the ports needing to get "unstuck" or something like that...this is really annoying because while the Airport is so much better than the Netgear it defeats the purpose of having the wireless printer, which worked so well previously.
Can anyone offer advice? Thanks.Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers.
To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at thisiFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link. If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help: Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsule
Finally, check out this IBM support article to see if your printer is listed as having a Postscript or PCL3 interface. If it does, then it will most likely work with the AirPort's USB port. Printers that use the "HP LIDIL" interface must be connected to a computer directly and will not work. -
My old e-mail address was SHAW XXXXX.and worked very well with Thunder Bird mail. I recently switched to new ISP Bell and my new address is XXXXXX However with several attempts with techs ,Thunder Bird will not work with my new ISP. I had to start using Outlook.com and Outlook Express 6 for e-mail,but I really liked Thunder Bird and have numerous e-mails stored in it that I cannot import.
Outlook Express 6 is outdated and because I am running Windows XP it will not give me a newer version.I find Outlook.com confusing to me. Can you helpWhy don't you tell us what you did and why it didn't work? Start from File/New/Existing Mail Account, enter your details, click Continue, then immediately click Manual config.

How far is the range of the Airport Extreme and how much does it boost your Internet speed?
We have a D-link wireless router, and it's worked fine for us, and covers the area around our house easily, but we have lots of other property too, though. I was wondering, what is the range of the Airport Extreme? Besides that, I've seen some communities that say the Airport Extreme is much faster than other routers, but since we have 1 MB per second Internet speed, would that affect speed much? I also was thinking about getting it because we have a USB printer that we'd like to use with our macs, but it would have to be integrated to our network. Our current router has a USB port on the back, but to connect, you have to use Shareport utility, and even then, you can only connect 1 device at a time. It would be nice to be able to convert the USB signal to a network signal.
Hi - it is impossible to know what you are asking without knowing the model of the Dlink - this chart might help you compare - http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/lanwan/router-charts/view - as far as the printer is concerned, the USB port on the Extreme is designed for printers and hard drives - they are recognized when plugged in and seen on your computer so they can be installed - there is no extra utility involved - if you use a powered USB hub you can connect more than one device at a time - http://www.apple.com/airportextreme/features/printing.html - and I recommend that if you decide to try the Extreme that you know what the return policy is in case it doesn't work out in your situation.

It only connects for minutes at a time. I have not changed my router, modem, or placement of my apple tv, modem, or router. It just suddenly stopped working. Any suggestions?
Mine is doing the exact same problem!
Ever since I rented a movie from itunes with the ATV connected to the internet via wireless (strong signal) from an airport extreme connected to my modem from charter communications (with about 30Mbps speed) it will suddenly stop and by stop I mean it leaves the movie completely and says YOUR APPLE TV IS NOT CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET.
So if I go to my network in the apple tv menu, sure enough my wireless network is missing. But the ipad is finding it, and the imac on wireless is finding it, and it is working. So we hit restart on the apple tv. When it comes back all is good. Then maybe the movie runs ten minutes and it does it again.
In some cases the wireless network reappears but if I select it it still says I'm not connected to the internet.
I have to restart everytime or it will not properly reconnect to the internet or find my wireless net work and actually work and connect.
It has been connected in the same place for a year and never had an issue.
Nothing has changed..... I have not added a wall to cause interference....
My iPad and iPhone show FULL strength.
Please help! -
I have an Apple Trackpad that shows that it is connected with Bluetooth but it is not responding. I've tried restarting the computer, disconnecting and reconnecting and also turning the trackpad on and off but it simply does not respond. Does anyone have any idea on what is going on here?
There are reports of similar behavour but generally it is due to battery connections. Is the indicator light working steadily or does it blink or even not function. Here is the Apple document dealing with some of the problems.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1544/en_US/Magic_Trackpad_UG.pdf
Is your machine within the guarantee period or under Apple care. If so, return it to any apple retailer for examination and possible replacement. -
Airport extreme and Printing : a solution that works for me
I post a new topic in order to avoid people going throught various topics.
_Explanation of the problem I had :_
When I plugged directly my printer (xerox 6110) to the usb of my PowerBook it worked fine. When I connected the same printer with the same cable to the usb port of my airport extreme (square model), I was Apple to install it throught bonjour on my laptop and my IMac. But I was only able to print trhourght textedit, and not throught word, excel, safari, etc. When printing from this application, after a while I had a page print with a timeout problem.
Solution (thanks to the following post : http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1201663&tstart=0 )
After trying drivers, and lot of other things, I tried what suggested in the topice above : I changed my USB cable that was connecting my AE to my printer : and now IT WORKS.
It is strange because I was able to print directly throught USB using the same cable, but not using my AE.
But anyway It work now !! This is the most important ! a lot of thanks for your help.
Hope it will help some of youOhhhh, Silly, silly moi. Ok, got it. Now I see "Partition". Thanks! Will try again. Downloading Windows support software as I type.
Thank you.
One more thing - while attempting installation the first time (before I stumbled on this thread) - I looked up YouTube re how to create a USB bootable ISO (which included editing the info.plist file in Boot Camp Assistant).
When I tried installing 8.1 from the ISO, the installation aborted saying "cannot find resources" (something like that) - this occured after the first stage, i.e. while "preparing files to install Windows".
Assuming I get this again (I hope not!), is it because of a corrupted ISO? -
