Losing and gaining Airport--back and forth..

I am using Airport to wirelessly connect to a base station where I am living. Recently I have been losing connection frequently while it appears the modem box is working correctly. When I take my laptop into the modem room and connect it directly to the modem with the cable it seems to respond quickly; but when I move the laptop back into the room I use, it loses connection or greatly drops in speed.
Is there a re-set process or something I can go thru to make sure that I am configured coffectly.
At times the house network doesn't even show on my Airport Internet Connect menu...
HELP !!

You are probably suffering from RF interference some another device or network operating at 2.4 GHz. If you can't remove this other device or network, you can try configuring your base station to use a different channel. Keep changing channels until you find a channel that works or you run out of channels.
You might also want to read through KB 58543, AirPort: Potential sources of interference and see if anything else applies to your situation.

  • Will deleting my you tube app affect my youtube accounts becuase since uploading the latest Apple update, everytime I go to click on something on my youtube page, it switches to the app and then comes back and opens up another tab and never did that

    I am having a problem with my youtube account, as since updating to iOS 8.3, the other day, every time I go to my youtube account and click on anything there by opening up a tab, it always goes to the youtube app and then goes back and opens a new tab.  Everytime I have updated, it seems to get worse not better.  One other thing that happened that has not been fixed yet when I updated a while ago, was that when you have many tabs open and go back and forth between them, it aleays reloads and does not stay the way you left it.  Wish Apple would get it right and especially with youtube issues.  So my question regarding my youtube account would be if I can delete the youtube app, without affecting my account.

    If you delete the YouTube app you will not be affecting your YouTube account.  You can always reinstall it & see if that fixes the problem.
    As far as Safari pages reloading between tabs, I have also noticed the issue after iOS 8 on my iPad 2.  Updating to the latest iOS on older devices can see a degradation in performance within certain apps due to the limitations of those devices. 
    We made the choice to update & with the many benefits of the latest & greatest iOS there are bound to be some problems too,

  • Firefox 8 and 9beta. Back and Forward buttons greyed out. Right click menu also has forward and back greyed out. Updated all plugins, then disabled all plugins and extensions and started in safe mode. No change.

    My forward and back buttons are greyed out after update to Firefox 8. Tried to move to 9 beta, but same behavior. Back and Forward also greyed out in right click menu.
    Attempted to fix by updating all plugins and extensions, then disabled all plugins and extensions, and then tried to start in safe mode. Nothing worked.

    You could have backed up your profile folder. If you did, [[Recovering important data from an old profile]] can help :)

  • TS3899 When I delete email the next time I open mail the deleted emails are back so I delete again. They come back sometimes at least 5-6 times. I have deleted the account and added it back and changed settings several times. What is wrong??

    My emails keep coming back after being deleted up to 5-6 times. Why do they keep coming back every time I open my mail? I have deleted my email account and added back and also changed settings. It still does it.

    Log into your webmail on a browser and delete them from there.

  • My browser window dies, i have to click on th desktop and the go back and "reactvate" the brwser window and then i can click on a link

    Sometimes my browser gets inactive even thou the window is active and I can not click (pointer doesnt switch from arrow to hand) on any links or do anything in the browser. My best "workaround" is to click on the desktop and then go back to the browser window and then I can follow link or similar. But, next time I want to do something I have to repeat the procedure again, click on desktop then back to browser and so on. On some sites with scroll down menys it gets a little tricky since I only get one shot at the time.
    Hope you understand what I´m trying to say, English is my third language .
    i´m running vers. 3.6 and this is on my other Laptop (Toshiba Tecra)

    Does that happen only on web pages that are running a Flash presentation? <br />
    When Flash "steals focus" from Firefox, you need to click outside the Flash presentation in the browser window, to regain focus in Firefox. A major problem arises when the Flash presentation is in the entire browser window, though. The Firefox developers are working on fixing that in Firefox, but it doesn't look like a fix is going to make it into Firefox 4.0, though.

  • Prior to updating the iphone 5 to ios.7, i used to be able to go to Notes and scroll through all listings until I found what I wanted.  Now i am only able to view one page at a time and have to back and forth between the main menu and each page.  Help?

    Prior to updating my iPhone5 to the "new and improved" ios.7, I used to be able to go to my Notes app and scroll through the various categories until I found the item I was looking for.  Now, under the "improvements" I have to open each page, one at a time, until I find the desired category.  This strikes me as a big step backword.  Any solutions in the community?

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    Also consider deleting and reinstalling the Mail Account in question.

  • Aperture 3 and Flickr syncing back and forth

    I posted some pics to flickr using Aperture 3, and later added keywords, again using Aperture 3. I couldn't get the new keywords to sync up to my flickr page, something I'd been able to do previously. I hit the broadcast sync button, but it is not adding the new keywords (tags) to Flickr. How is the best and easiest way to sync the keywords in Aperture 3 to Flickr and vise versa from Flickr to Aperture?  I would like it to keep syncing continuously also.
    Thanks

    I'd love an answer to this, as well.
    Using Aperture's primary competitor, the Title of the image in the IPTC data mapped directly to Flickr's title, and the Caption to Flickr's caption. I can't tell what the disconnect is with Flickr-Aperture, but I'd like to know.
    Anyone?

  • I have music on two apple id's, I paid for both. How can I consolidate them and not go back and forth?

    I need help to get my music from both my apple id's into my music.
    Will iTunes ever consolidate what I paid for?

    Sorry, but merging of iTunes Store accounts/Apple IDs, if that's what you're asking, is not currently possible. Whether it ever will be is something none of us here can say.

  • Set up advice needed and appreciated Airport Extreme and Time Capsule

    Hi all - bear with me on this
    I have an Airport Extreme attached to my modem in the living room - all is well
    This is attached via the house electrical mains to a Time Capsule in the office - which I use as a back up drive - which is wired to my main computer (iMac).
    All works well - but the range in the back - where the office is - isn't great (i struggle to go wireless in the garden) - would it be improved if I ticked the 'Allow this network to be extended' box?
    I am not 100% certain what this means - what it does and whether i should tinker (by and large the two airports are set up and working as they came out of the box)
    any help is appreciated
    best

    The second part puzzles me - excuse me (but i honestly don't know) do both units give off a wifi signal of roughly equal 'amounts'?
    Yes. Since both are connected by "Ethernet" each base station is its own wireless network and you have a few options on how best to configure them.
    One of those options is to give both wireless networks the same Network Name (or SSID) so that you can, for example, "walk" a laptop from one to the other and stay connected. This is known as a roaming network.
    If this is something that you don't desire or have a requirement for, then leaving them as two separate wireless networks would work just as well.
    So what i am asking - i guess - is can i increase the distance the wifi signal reaches of the second unit (the time capsule - that is wired to the airport extreme)
    To extend the wireless range of the Time Capsule (TC) you would need another 802.11n AirPort, like the AirPort Express Base Station (AXn). This should get a stronger signal out to the garden. Of course, it would really depend on the distance from the TC to where you would like to place the AXn to get the best results.
    Let me know if you need help configuring the base stations.

  • How to display the first page alone first and two pages (back and front) then ?

    Hi
    I use acrobat 9 (beginner).
    I have a document which should be displayed "as a book", ie two pages on the screen at the same time, the back of the first sheet and the front of the second one.
    The problem I have is to manage to display the cover sheet as a single page (alone) and then to have the dual page layout as described above.
    How could I do that ?
    Thanks for your help

    Hi Bernd
    Thanks a lot.

  • Just downloaded an album, will let me play some songs, but others are asking for me to authorize my computer. When I enter Use ID and password, comes back and says computer is already authorized. Why will it let me play some songs and not others?

    Has anyone downloaded an album from iTunes Store, once downloaded, will let you play some songs, but others is asking you to authorize your computer. When I go through those steps, it tells me that the computer is already authorized, but still will not let me play certain songs??

    If just some of the tracks on the album are giving you that message, that suggests that those tracks are damaged.
    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • HT2577 This is not the first time I have woke up to finding my Mac in the sleep mod, and the airport on and connected. Any ideas about this one?

    Is it possible to access and not leave a calling card of access in the system? I had a service result that went bad, and required another service result that reinstalled the Mt.Lion. Bad being that they did not install as the paper work stated. OSX 10.8.5 questions my ability to protect access. Any thoughts on technical support being to technical with personal information?

    Go here:

    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • Are you waiting to get error message, or are you toggling back and forth?

    Just curious of the 'technique' you are using. Are you waiting to get the "network connection was reset" error message or are you just quickly hitting the "i" and "m" keys back and forth?
    I've been doing a little bit of both with NO success.

    I clicked back and forth a couple of times and after the 7th or 8th time I would wait. It finally worked after 30 minutes of doing this. Hope you are up and runnung soon.:)
