My Airport has a Wi-Fi connection but doesnt connect to any device

Hi,
I have Comcast with a Motorola SURFboard SB6141 DOCSIS 3.0 high-speed cable modem connected to a new AirPort Time Capsule. When I set up the Wi-Fi connection and check with the Airport utility the internet is connected and the Airport is connected but my IPad and IPhone cannot connect to the Airport.

AirPort Time Capsule is not compatible with any other routers except for its own supported routers
Not exactly. That all depends on what service you want the other router and Apple router to provide. For example, I use a Cisco router to run the network, with several Apple AirPorts set up as wireless access points. Everything is compatible.
As far as this post is concerned, I think you overlooked an important fact here......that being that the Motorola SB6141 is a simple modem......not a router.
Apple does not make modems, and if there is an official Apple "compatible" modem list, Apple Support does not know about it, nor does Google.

I can VPN into my work but can't connect to any devices inside that network

I authenticate fine and get an address but I cant connect to any devices inside my work. I am connecting to Cisco Lan controllers, routers, and switches.
I thought it was a routing problem but I can connect with my iphone and open the webpage for my lan controllers and I even tested it on a pc laptop with Windows XP and it works fine. I have a 2012 Macbook pro. I prefer to use my Macbook all the time. I haven't used my Windows laptop until today since I got the Mac. Do you think I have the V-Word?

Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. The purpose of this test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

My ipad is not charging while connected to any device via usb cable

my ipad is not charging while connected to any device via usb cable

If you mean that you've connected it to a computer's USB port then a lot of computers don't provide enough power to their USB ports to charge the iPad at a sufficient rate - it may still be charging slowly, and should be a bit quicker if the iPad's screen is off (if you leave it for a while and then disconnect it from your computer you may find that it's battery percentage has gone up). The wall charger is usually the most efficient way to charge the iPad.

HT1449 I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch). All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices

I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch). All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices. Help please

The ipod is not a backup/storage device.
You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
The Apple store will do this for you, you can call apple support and they will help you, you can use google.

Airport does'nt want to connect to ANY wireless network

hello there.
once more someone writing who is experiencing problems with the macbooks incorporated airport.
after joining a 3rd party wifi and returning home, my macbook is unable to connect to ANY wifi network. the bar is completely grey, but airport finds all available networks. in the network dialog appears "airport is active, but not connected to any network", indicated by a red lamp. i am also not able to connect to my network's router typing its local ip in the browser.
rebooting hundreds of times, removing all networks from the list and re-adding my WEP-secured home network did not solve the problem.
i also tried almost all solutions apple offers to fix airport problems including installing the newest firmware, but all this resulted the same.
in the diagnostics, airport seems to work normally, exept that i cannot connect to any network. furthermore, now my macbook does not accept the (correct!!!) WEP for the wifi, telling me that it is invalid - i tried it with and without the "$" in the beginning.
does anybody have an idea how to bring me back online?
gracias, benbanderas

IM having a very similar problem myself! i have my Macbook for around a year now and i have never actually had any problems with it apart from the wireless connection. my router is a speedtouch 576 and i have never been able to pick up a signal.
I dont fully know how to connect it to a wireless network even if there was signal because I have never been able to go online wirelessly. when i do get a signal a bar appears then disapears several times and when i try to connect it says password is wrong even though it might be correct (using all different 128's and using the $ )
not sure if it is a hardware roblem but I wondered if i could take it to an apple care store and see what they think about it. perhaps thats the best thing you could do if you have applecare?

How do i u acsess my bluetooth settings thru my phone to change name etc. Also cant connect to any devices

How do i u acsess my bluetooth settings thru my phone to change name etc. Also cant connect to any devices

What devices are you trying to connect to, and are they in pairing mode? Is the phone in pairing mode? The iPhone only connects to audio devices and to computers for tethering. You cannot use BlueTooth on an iPhone for file transfers to other phones or computers.

Jetpack MiFI 4620 LE connects to internet but is undiscoverable by any device

My work provided me with a new MiFI card. It connects to the internet and has a sim card inside it, but is not detectable on Macbook, iphone, ipad. I have had one before that no additional set up was needed. Is this device malfunctioning?

Not detectable, as in you cannot even see the wireless network from those devices? That doesn't sound right. All devices with wireless adapters installed should be able to see the 4620's signal, unless someone configured the SSID to be hidden. That or the device is not properly booted up to the point where it can broadcast its signal.
Try restoring the defaults on the device by removing the back cover and pressing and holding the Reset button with a paper clip for 10-15 seconds. This should remove any unusual configuration settings on the device and set it back to normal.
If the reset was successful (should see the lights blink on/off in unison followed by a reboot) and the SSID/Network name is still not visible on your devices then contact VZW or your companies Help Desk for warranty/support.

This is the first time this has ever happened but I plug in any device iPod, iPhone and the computer opens up a found new hardware wizard. I can't sync any of my devices and I'm not happy. Any helpers?

I can't connect any of my devices to my iTunes. Anytime I plug one of them into my computer I get a new hardware wizard window that pops up and I can seem to load anything from an iPod or iPhone if I run the wizard. Any helpers? I've been using iTunes on this computer for a very long time and this is the first time that this wizard has shown up ever. Please help.

I have replied some one with the same problem.
If your contacts saved in the SIM, you can import them from SIM. Please see this help.

My old mac crashed and new hard drive has new Pages on it but I cannot open any documents. Says to save on 09, I had 08 but it crashed when the computer crashed. Now what?

Open with new Pages and it says my documents are too old, must be opened and saved in 09, but I don't have 09, just fragments of 08 from my crashed hard drive. What do I do now?

Do you still have your installer DVD?
Reinstall iWork '08 and upgrade it to v3.03:
http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewtopic.php?t=432&mforum=iworktips ntrick
Then open your documents and Export them to Word .doc/x to open in Pages 5.2.
You can also ask Apple to supply you with iWork '09 so you can access your work.
If that is unsuccessful, since Pages 5.2 is a severe downgrade, missing 110 features, get the iWork '09 boxed set from Amazon for $19.99.

Ipad connected but doesnt show up under devices

My classic is stuck on a blank screen and it won't connect to any device or reset when I hold the menu and center buttons. Any ideas what's up and how to fix it?

I know click hold on and off then hold the menu and center button until the apple logo appears. I have tried this so many times and my iPod Classic is still unresponsive! I've tried plugging my iPod into my Mac, my wall charger, my ihome, everything, but nothing works. It won't connect to iTunes to restore or anything. I've tried leaving it unplugged long enough to let the battery die and then tried plugging it in, a method I've utilized successfully with other iPods but that didn't work either. I really just starting to lose faith in the quality of this product. The first classic I bought didn't work at all and I had to exchange it. This one I bought to replace my 5 year old nano and it hasn't even lasted 7 months! Somebody please offer me a solution and assure me that I didn't waste $250 on a crap piece of technology. I'm desperate!

Although you say you have let the battery drain, was it for long enough? Since nothing else that you've tried so far has worked, I suggest that you leave the iPod unplugged for at least four days, preferably a week. That way, if something is stopping the iPod from turning the screen on, then whatever it is will drain the battrey. However, since the screen isn't on, that may take longer than if the screen was on.
Then, after that time, plug the iPod into a power source and leave it alone for at least thirty minutes. Only after thirty minutes will it show any signs of life, but you should leave it until it is fully charged before trying to use it.
If you get to this stage, the fact that the battery has drained will cause the iPod to reset when it springs back to life.
Let us know how you get on.

11.3.1.2 Itunes keeps opening itself, not connected to any devices!!!

I installed Itunes 11.3.1.2 as a clean installation on my laptop last week. Running Windows 7.
I have connected the Ipad Air ONCE only. Yet for the past 3 days itunes has randomly opened itself up, it's doing it when no one is home, when we're asleep etc.
Nothing is running that should open it, no widgets, no media players NOTHING absolutely nothing!!!!
I have searched the community and found a heap of ideas on what might be triggering it and tried everything on there that i can and nothing helps.........
Please any ideas will be fantastic its driving me nutty!!!!!!!!!

screenshots below of my itunes preferences:

This basically reset my driver and now everything works fine with getting it to show up in itunes, however is still will not allow me to use my personal hotspot. Ive noticed when i turn on personal hotspot on my phone i see this:
so obviously we are missing a driver or something that enables the personal hotspot to function correctly. I just can't seem to figure out where that is located.
UPDATE***
i went to the folder that was by the previous driver i updated
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\NetDrivers
i selected netaapl64.inf
and now Personal Hotspot works and it shows up in device manager like this:
hopefully this helps whoever else is having this issue

All of a sudden no connection to any device?

I hooked up my wireless router on Sunday and it's been working like a gem. However today, I decided to link my laptop to it only to find that the whole connection was gone. My iPod's connection wasn't available either.
I am very illiterate when it comes to this kind of stuff, so ask me what you need to know.
Thank you

What is the model of your Linksys router?
If you have the Linksys E series (E1000, E2000, E3000, E4200,E1200,E3200) all you have to do is download the correct Setup wizard for your device on your computer. to learn how to download click here.
The next thing you will do is reconfigure your router. But first reset your router for 10 seconds. to do this just press and hold the reset button, it is located either at the bottom or at the back of your router. This will delete all the previous settings. If you have installed Cisco Connect make sure to uninstall it first from your computer.
After you reset the router and uninstall the Cisco Connect software (if you have one) run the setup wizard that you recently downloaded. Follow the onscreen instruction.
