My time capsule works with my laptop but not my iphones and states it has no internet connection even though it is working on my laptop.

I purchased a time capsule when I upgraded my iphone to the iphone 5 in November of 12.  The time capsule was very easy to set up and both phones and the laptop worked great. In March of this year, the iphones would no longer connect to the time capsule network.  When I would run the airport utility, I would see errors for no internet connection and no DNS servers.  The funny thing is that my laptop would wirelessly connect to the internet through the time capsule. I am currently on my laptop now but my phones don't work.  I am thinking that I updated software for both my phone and the time capsule so I tried reverting the software on the time capsule but it still gave me the same errors. If I hook the cable modem to my pc, it works, so I don't have an internet service provider issue. The issue seems to be with the airport device/time capsule. I have reset things to the factory default and didn't bother setting any password for the network but to no avail... If anyone knows what I can do to fix this, please assist... I am ready to give up on fixing it and revert back to my old wireless device. Thanks

Set it up with SMB compliant names.. that means, short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Set a different name for 2.4ghz and 5ghz..
Set security to WPA2 personal with pure alphanumeric password.. 10-20 characters is usually plenty.
Set wireless channel for 2.4ghz to manual and try channels 11, 6, 1 in that order.

  • Hi, I turning standby My computer at work. With one opened firefox browser and few opened pages. Turning on at home to continue my work with firefox. But firefox do nothing. It is like no internet connection. Explorer works but don't want to use.....

    Cheers for every Idea!

    Hi!
    I'm not 100% sure what are you trying to achieve or what's the issue, but I will try.
    It seems that you want to work with Firefox at your home computer while your work computer is on. I'm not sure if you want to use the information from your work computer or not. If so, you should look at Firefox Sync: [[What is Firefox Sync?]]
    If the only thing you want is to open and use Firefox but not use the information that your work computer has, your issue is about the connection. I will invite you to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox (www.mozilla.org/firefox) and try [[Safe Mode]] if that helps.

  • How to use time capsule for wireless back-up but not internet?

    Hello,
    I have a tower and recently a laptop at work. The tower is connected to our local network with an ethernet cable and the laptop with wireless. So, the internet connection is fine for both.
    I was hoping to use my time capsule to do time machine backups on my laptop. Do you have any advice on how to configure this? I do not want to use the time capsule to extend my Internet, as I believe my work I.T. would prefer to handle all access to their  network.
    Perhaps there is some documentation about doing this that you could point me to? I have not been able to find it.
    Thank you for your help.

    Your original question was How to use Time Capsule for wireless back-up but not Internet?
    There is no reason for you to connect the tower....or anything else...using Ethernet if your goal remains that same as you stated.
    If you are asking if you can backup the Tower using Ethernet, and not wireless, then you can connect the tower to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule....not the WAN port.
    Yes, it appears to work without plugging into my tower.
    Correct, it will work.
    I just have to select the network that it created. Of course, I have no access to the Internet while this is happening and it can not auto backup, unless I am on that wireless signal.
    As I stated, that is the downside to trying to back up without an Internet connection.  You have to establish another network...and backup over that network.
    If you are asking if you can stay connected to the work network while also backing up to your non-Internet "private" network, that is not possible.

  • Have Sony reader 505, ADE doesn't recognize when attached to mac OX 10.6.8. works with reader library but not with ADE

    Have Sony reader 505, ADE doesn't recognize when attached to mac OX 10.6.8. works with reader library but not with ADE

    YEAY!
    I just got the solution (that worked for me, anyway) from a Sony support rep. No PC or VMWare needed.
    OK, you've installed Sony eBook Library v3, and Adobe Digital editions, you've set up your acocunts and authorized your computer on both of them, and you've authorized your Reader with the Sony Library application.
    You go to the public library ebook download page, either through the Sony Library or just through a bookmark.
    You check out a book, and open it in Adobe Digital Editions, which still won't recognize your Reader.
    BUT, in the Sony Library app, you can now click "File, Import.." and go find the pdf you downloaded with the Adobe app.
    On my Mac, it was in ~/Documents/Digital Editions
    Import it, and drag it to your Reader.
    The first time you do this, it will ask you to authorize the Reader with your Adobe ID.
    Worked like a charm.

  • Windows 8.1 64bit. Webcam works with "Camera" app but not with Skype.

    I've spent a few hours googling and trying out various things - all listed below. I give up - any ideas??? OS: Windows 8.1 64bitMemory: 32GBWebCam: Microsoft VX-7000. As per subject - the webcam works with the "Camera" app but not with Skype for desktop or for Modern UI (or the Microsoft Lifecam software for that matter).  Already attempted: 1) Uninstall webcam drivers - download latest from microsoft (Windows 7) and install in Windows 7 compatibility mode.2) Close (from taskmgr) anything that looks like it might use Webcam. 3) Run Skype for Desktop in Windows 7 and 8 compatibility modes None of the above work. In Skype for Modern UI the webcam doesn't appear in the drop down in Settings - so I can't even select it. In Skype for desktops (version 6.11.32.102) the webcam is found but instead of image I get "Can't start video. Try closing other programs that might be using your webcam". I see from a bit of googling that various people seem to have the same issue (i.e. Webcam works with Camera app but not Skype) - so I'm hopeful someone has found a workaround / fix to this issue and I've just not had the googling skills to find it  Thanks, - Matt Symes

    OK - I appear to have resolved the issue.  I restricted my google terms to [vx-7000 site:microsoft.com "windows 8.1"] Which uncovered this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933311 I noticed there were a couple of Windows 7 x64 specific registry settings that were mentioned so I checked these and they weren't as per the article. In fact - one of the Registry Keys was already used by other software "AI Charger+" which is some ValueAdd software that came with my motherboard. I uninstalled AI Charger+, uninstalled LifeCam driver. Reinstalled LifeCam driver in Windows 7 compatibility mode. Still not working. I returned to the registry and noticed the settings still differed from the above article. I corrected them (which involved not just amending Data but having to add new Values). I then disabled and reenabled the LifeCam from dvcmgmt.msc I was then able to get video from the webcam in the Skype for Desktop preview screen.    

  • Isight works with photo booth but not in ichat or google talk or skype?

    isight works with photo booth but not in ichat or google talk or skype?

    Hi
    Is this an Internal or External iSight ?
    In iChat, in the Video Menu (This is to the right of Buddies and may read Audio) is Camera Enabled Ticked ?
    If it reads Audio open the Connection Doctor from that same menu.
    In the connection Doctor open the Capabilities tab
    Does it say your Internet Connection is too slow ?
    At this point I would need to know which iChat Version.
    However also look in the View Menu.
    Is Show VIdeo Status ticked ?  (this shows green Icons next to your Buddy Pic and those of your Buddies
    Next go to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section
    Do you see a preview here ?
    Re: GoogleTalk
    Have you enabled TALK on your Google Account Settings ?
    You need to have a Google Mail ID (Not any other sort of Google ID)
    Have you downloaded the Intel only Web Browser Plug-in to do Video in a  Web Browser.

  • My firewire port works with ext hd but not with audio interface

    2010 Imac 21.5 running 10.8.5. My firewire port works with ext hd but not with audio interface. The local authorized Apple tech said that I need a new motherboard, but my firewire ext drive works perfectly. I don't understand. Thanks.

    You must go to the website of the audio interface manufacturer and look for, download and install updated drivers for the audio device you are using.
    This is not, neccessarily, an Apple issue.

  • Enterprise Mgr works with one db but not the other

    Hi
    We have two Oracle 10g databases installed. Enterprise Manager works with the second, but not the first. I believe the problem started when we migrated the host server to another network domain. Everything else works fine, but I'm getting a page load failure when attempting to access enterprise mgr.
    The second db was installed after the migration and EM works fine.
    Can anyone tell me how to reconfigure this?
    Thank you

    by any change hostname or ip was changed during migration
    also can u paste the emoms.trc ?

  • Connect time capsule via ethernet to Mac for back-up only. Is it possible without internet connection ?

    Connect time capsule via ethernet to Mac for back-up only. Is it possible without internet connection ?

    Hi Bob,
    I'm not certain the post I sent was posted correctly, as I added it as a reply to a 3-year old thread. Since this is a recently-active thread, though not specific to the issue at hand, I thought I'd post again:
    Three years ago you helped me set up a roaming wireless network in my home. It's been rock-steady and I'm forever grateful to you for the time and guidance you gave me. I'd now like to swap out my AirPort Extreme base station for a time capsule. As I understand it, I should be able to unplug the base station and replace it with the TC without problem, so long as I use all the same settings on my TC... network name, security protocol, password, etc. Given the complexity of my network, I thought I should check with you first for any advice you might have. I don't want to set up a new network or make any changes to the existing one-- with the exception of using the TC in place of the AE. I'm already using Time Machine for backups. As a refresher, my current setup has the AE as base station and 3 expresses hard-wired with Ethernet connections elsewhere in my home. I have a 4th express set up wirelessly to use with my stereo system at the front of the house. All AXs are 'n's and are set up, as per your instructions, in Bridge mode to extend the existing network. I'm running the most updated version of Mavericks on my MBPro. Any suggestions you might have will be, as always, very much appreciated! Sincerely, Phyllis Sommers

    Bring your phone and $199 to the Apple store for an out of warranty exchange of your phone.  You clearly broke it when you dropped it.

  • Home sharing works with one account but not another?

    My family has an apple tv, we've been having problems setting up the home sharing and tried everything. We eventually decided to try my brother's apple id instead of my mother's and it worked. So my question is; why does home sharing not work with one id but works with the other? any suggestions to get it to work with my mother's id?

    Try resetting the Apple TV. enter your mother's ID again. Then remove her ID on iTunes and re-add it. Then see if it works this time.
