If anyone could tell me what to do to fix this i would be greatful
I have hard reseted it, restored it to factory settings and tried changing the passwords
Thanks to anyone that can help
If you have completed all Apple troubleshooting steps with no change, more than likely your iPhone has a hardware problem. call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

I'm trying to set up time machine to back up on an external HD connected t my airport extreme, but the disk doesn't show as an option in the time machine selecting a disk, any suggestion anyone? My mac "sees" the airport extreme ??
The first important thing to consider here is that Apple does not support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port on the AirPort Extreme, so that may likely have something to do with your difficulties.
If you want to continue to try this, the drive must be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and you almost always have to use a powered USB hub with a drive at the port of the Extreme...even if the hard drive has its own power supply....because the port on the Extreme is under powered.
Most users who try this unsupported method have corruption difficulties sooner or later, but we do hear from some users who seem to be able to make it work.
The bottom line is that there is no support from Apple on this if you have difficulties, so you may want to consider a secondary backup plan for your important data. -
How come my iMac and MacBook connect to my AirPort Extreme but my iPhone and iPad 2 won't?
How come my iMac and MacBook connect to my AirPort Extreme but my iPhone and iPad 2 don't?
Sorry, I should have been more clear. I am asking if the DNS IP addresses, not the IP addresses assigned by the DHCP service, are the same. DNS is like the Internet's version of the Yellow Pages. Your ISP typically will provide them to you or you can elect to use those provided by another source, like OpenDNS.
DNS is the service that translates a website's URL to its actual IP address so that you can access it. I am just trying to rule out that the PC is not configured properly with the correct DNS IP information.
The other thing to check is if the PC is configured to use a Proxy service. By default, it would not be.
Finally, what is the make & model of the PC. More importantly, if the PC is using either a PCI or USB wireless adapter, what is its make & model? -
my daughters ipod 4th gen will no longer charge past 20% and will not connect to a pc in order to back everything up. the cable is working fine, otherwise it would not even charge to the 20%. i have tried the reset to not lose any data and no luck, home+power for 10-15 seconds. I really would like to not lose everything she has, again, because I can't back it up this time. I have tried charging via a wall outlet and PC and both charge fine, just only to 20%. I am using the cable that came with it so no aftermarket issues there. Please help so I don't have to reset everything again.
Because once it has charged enough to be powered on as soon as you turn it on it says battery is at 20% and will not charge anymore after that, it just runs for about 5-10 minutes before the battery dies again. The battery cycles discharge/recharge daily and its not on the charger at full charge for more than a couple hours and is never totally dead for more than a couple of hours.

Internet connection is through airport extreme is not connected
internet connection through airport extreme is not connected maybe there is a problem setting it up
Is it possible that using a Netgear Router connected
to the AE (which is also a router if I understand
correctly) could cause connection problems ?
Yes.
Ensure that that the AEBS is configured to not distribute IP addresses.
Also ensure that the AEBS is on a different channel to the DG834G.

Several PC and Mac connectivity issues with Airport Extreme Base Station
Hello,
This is not all necessarily airport base station related, but there is some crossover, so I'm posting all of these issues...
Here is the laundry list of things that I can't make work in a home network that contains a PC w/ XP Home, MacBook 1.83 w/ 10.4.7, and Airport Extreme Base Station w/ Modem.
1. Can't see the PC from the Mac.
a. "Connect to server -> Browse" does not find the PC
b. "ipconfig" on PC provides valid looking IP address
c. ping from mac to PC IP address times out
d. Firewall on XP is disabled via control panel
b. Windows file and printer sharing is enabled
2. Can't see mac from PC
a. Windows file sharing enabled on mac
b. Firewall on mac disabled
c. I used \\MacIPAddr\shortusername
d. ping times out
3. Using dial-up to access internet, how do i tell airport to dial using PC?
a. this feature is working fine from mac
b. If already connected (via instruction from mac), can surf the internet fine from PC
c. Is this even possible from the PC?
4. Can't see printer connected to base station from PC
a. See it fine from mac
b. How do i "find" the printer on the PC?
c. Is Bonjour required for this? (I don't have it on the PC yet)
5. Can't see a "shared" printer on the PC from the mac
a. printer is connected directly to PC
b. Mac's add printer wizardry looks like it may "see" the printer, but then it asks for username and password for PC. This is XP home, with no usernames or passwords. Single user. Nothing seems to work in the credentials pop-up dialog.
Any suggestions on any of these issues is very welcome.
ThanksIs the PC running any kind of internet security or firewall software?

HP P1102w connected to the Airport Extreme but cannot print, always offline
OS : WIndows 7
Router : Airport Extreme
When I was using a linksys router, setting up the printer was a piece of cake, but when we move to Airport Extreme the only computer that works is the MAC book pro and the rest of the Windows Base OS doesnt work properly, esp. on a wireless setup.
I'v installed bonjour on my system and still nothing works.
I've check most of the forum with out any viable solution for this issue.
Whatever hel you can provide me with will be highly appreciated.
kind regards,Hi @shanwein ,
I see that you are having issues with the printer working over the wireless network with the new Airport Extreme on the Windows computers, but the Mac is working. I would like to help you out with this issue today.
Just to clarify, you are networking the printer, you don't have the USB cable connected from the printer to the Airport?
Print out a configuration report and make sure the SSID and IPv4 of the printer.
Printing a Configuration Page.
If you have a valid IP address for the printer then try and access the Embedded Web Server for the printer.
Type the IP address into your web browser's address bar. (Internet Explorer)
If it loads the printer's network page then the printer is on the network.
You might need to power cycle the router, computer and printer if it doesn't load on the Windows computers.
Run the add printer wizard from Devices and Printers, click on add a printer.
Test the printer.
Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.
Have a great day!
Thank You.

HELP! I have comcast using a Motorola Surfboard Modem, fairly new, 3 iPhones in the house - 2 4S, 1 4, an iMac, Macbook Pro and Airport Extreme. The iMac and Macbook pro connects ot internet fine, but none of the iPhones will connect to the internet (though they do connect to the wifi singnal. I've reset the AE, even to factory default but no luck....
I discovered the solution to the problem, hopefully it helps others with the same issue.Using the airport utility (sorry, i don't recall the procedure verbatim or have access to the utility right now for exact details) find where it lists settings for 2.4ghz and 5ghz, they are probably both set to "Automatic". Change the setting for 2.4ghz from automatic to one of the channel numbers, try a number 1 - 11. Update. You might have to disconnect and connect the wireless device from the network. It worked for me!

My PC can connect to the new airport extreme I just purchased but with encryption it cannot connect to the internet my iMac has no issues. If I open the airport exteme up and provide no security everything is fine which leads me to believe it is something with the encryption between the two devices. Not sure what step I'm missing here this shouldn't be this difficult.
Sorry, I should have been more clear. I am asking if the DNS IP addresses, not the IP addresses assigned by the DHCP service, are the same. DNS is like the Internet's version of the Yellow Pages.

I have the latest Airport Extreme with a Seagate drive connected. I copied files to the drive while it was connected to my MacBook Pro. The files do not show up when connected to the AE, but they appear when connected to the Macbook, Files copied over the network to the drive appear. The drive is formatted HFS+.
After playing with this for the last few days, I found a solution. Under the "Disks" tab in Airport Utility, the "Secure Shared Disks" drop down needs to be set to "With device password". Mine was set to "With acounts", which even after correct authentication, none of the files would appear.
Another interesting note: The files that I could see, the ones I copied over the network, do not appear now. I can copy over new files, and they show up, but the ones copied prior to changing the "Secure Shared Disks" option, do not. -

San Jose Airport - SJC Free WiFi on iPhone or iPod Touch?
While waiting for a delayed flight last week I saw a sign touting new free WiFi at Sand Jose Airport (SJC). But, though I could connect with my Touch (4 bars)I could not get out to the internet.
I pulled out my laptop and after a browser redirect to accept terms, it connected ok, but they are using a VPN through AnchorFree that I had to accept. Anyway, no problems on a laptop.
Since they had 24/7 toll free support, I called and they said lots of iPhone and iTouch users had called but so far they had no solution for the iPhone or Touch.
Here is the press release:
http://www.sjc.org/newsroom/press/2008/wifi.htm
Is anybody able to get on sjcfreewifi at SJC with iPhone or iTouch?
I can get wifi access in many other places but this particular infrastructure is causing problems that still seem to be an issue after two months of operation. I get an IP, I am connected, but somehow Safari cannot follow the redirect to accept the terms and use the VPN. Surely someone in Cupertino must have seen this by now?back at SJC today and SJC free wifi works now!! Safari now redirects to accept terms page.
