Did you upgrade to 6.3?
It is definitely having issues finding the Apple routers.. turn on ipv6 local-link in the computer.. but that may fail without wireless turned on in the TC if the FIOS router doesn't give you ipv6.. which is still a work in progress on most modems and routers.
Turn the wireless back on, on the TC.. you may need to connect to it directly with ethernet.. and do a factory reset.. none of which will harm your backups.
Setup the TC afresh with all smb type names, short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Give the wireless name the same as the SSID in the FIOS router.
But manually set wireless channel to say 11.. for 2.4ghz.. 5ghz won't matter as the FIOS doesn't use it.
Set wireless in the FIOS to 1 or 6.. or leave it on auto, should be ok as long as one of the routers is fixed.
Use wpa2 AES in the FIOS.. use WPA2 Personal in the TC.
Use same password in both.
If possible use a few meters (= several feet ) ethernet cable so you have them a apart a bit.. it is not a big deal but I like to run radios communication spaced a bit. Old Engineering traits.
If you use a different wireless name for 5ghz.. it is much faster when client machine is near the TC.. and you will have direct access to the TC rather than via the FIOS.. makes for better backups and keeps network on 2.4ghz less busy for internet connectivity.

  • Tecra M4 - DVD drive doesn't recognize any disk under Vista

    Hi,
    after the installation of Vista my dvd drive doesn't recognize any disks !
    No upgrade from XP! It was a clean Vista installation.
    I found several links about the registry entries upper and lower filter this entries doesn't exist in my registry under the class CDROM.
    I tested the drive under XP it works fine and recognizes everything.
    Drivers are correctly installed no problems in the device manager is prompted.
    So i have no idea how to get it working, seems to be a Vista problem
    Could any one help me ? I'm really frustrated about this
    Thanks for your help

    Maybe this helps:
    - Remove the CD/DVD drive from the device manager.
    - Then access the registry and remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    - Then reboot the notebook
    But what happens exactly? What disks are not recognized?

  • I installed Lion, now my dvd drive doesn't recognize any files on dvd. Please help.

    I'm a photographer with tons on images on dvd and my dvd drive now doesn't recognize any files on any of my dvd's. Help!!!

    After 3 trips to the Apple store this week, the issue is still unresolved. The photo dvd's open just fine on Snow Leopard, but are not recognized at all on Lion. I'm guessing since the DVD's were originally burned on a PC, they will no longer work. After finding out that PowerPC is no longer recognized by Lion and I can no longer use Nikon NX2 (Photo editing software), I will be re-installing Snow Leopard. According to the Apple store in Lancaster, Pa. there is no refund available for my Lion purchase. I have a ton of photo DVD's, most of which will not open since I've only recently switched to an IMAC system. It has made me think about returning to the PC world. I'm VERY unhappy with these developments and I really need to re-think my computer situation. I don't do much else besides photography. My purchases and time spent with my IMAC has aparently been a great waste.

  • Drive doesn't recognize ANY DVDs  or CDs?

    Can someone explain real simple stupid like how to try to get my DVD/CD player to recognize disks again. I have a PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-103 in my G4 am using Tiger 10.4.3. After installing Tiger my computer has fallen to pieces and this is the last one. Now I am seriously considering cleaning out the entire machine and starting anew as I have a G5 on order. Problem is how can I even reinstall is my DVD drive won't recognize any disks? It spins and spins and spits out the DVD. It will read nothing.
    Thanks, Steph

    One day the Pioneer DVR-106 drive I had in my G4 MDD stopped working it would accept disks. I tired everything. calls to apple care didnt help since this was an upgrade I added. I read everything on every site.
    finally took the drive out of the computer and as I turned it over I heard a rattle. it had never rattled before. A search of posts on www.xlr8yourmac.com lead me to a posting about parts inisde the drive failing and in some cases some miniscule part could cause the drive to fail to read any disc. I was at my wits end and decided what the heck I was planning on Buying a new DVD-R drive anyway, so I opened the puppy up. I put everything out on my white utility table and took care to track every screw. To give me a reference point to how the drive looks and works I took apart a different CDROM drive that no longer worked. I noticed both units were similar internally.
    well to make a long story short the culprit was a piece of dust that had got onto the Laser Lens and a piece of metal, some spring that lodged itself near the midle. It was magnetized and stuck to the drive middle area. I took the piece out and crossed my fingers. put it back together and decided to put it in an External 5.25" FW400 case which i have a few siting around for when I pull old HD's. Plugging in the now external Pioneer DVR-106 the unit turned on a-ok and voila the Mac recognized it and was able to read every DVd and CD and perfomred a succesflu burns for many DVD data discs and Audio CD's.
    I posted my experience on xlr8yourmac.com and I am pretty sure I lucked out. But hey worse comes to worse, you can always pop that puppy open and see whats there. never know.
    good luck anyway and you probably just better of to buy a new OEM Pioneer Superdrive, OWC aka macsales.com has some good bundles also Newegg.com has better deals for people who just want the Bare drive sans disks, cables, etc.

  • Macbook Pro 15" USB PORT DOESN'T RECOGNIZE ANY DEVICE.

    I got my macbook pro 15" for about 1 year and 2 weeks ago, when I turned on my macbook and put my mouse ( Death Adder) into the USB PORT, my macbook DOESN'T RECOGNIZE IT. There are 2 usb ports on my macbook, I tried both port and there was only one port work correctly, the other one didn't work at all, I also tried to put my memory stick, external hard drive, vodafone 3g usb, ipod,....into that USB PORT but non of them worked. Is there any one here have the same problem???? Can you guy help me please. I stay quite far away from Apple Store so it is hard to bring it to repair. I tried to reset SMC, Update Software,...but still not work...HELP ME PLEASE...

    I can't fault your troubleshooting. Sounds like a bad port.
    Home remedies are limited. You can grab a magnifier and shine a flashlight in there. If you see any foreign material, use a toothpick or other non-conductive tool to extract it. If you can, give it a good blast of (dry, canned) compressed air to blow any particles loose.
    Sometimes you can trick a flaky USB port into working at least intermittently by plugging in an extension cable or right-angle connector. Play with a device that lights up so it's easy to see whether it's working.
    Take a hard look inside the connectors at the end of your Death Adder and other frequently-used devices. If you see any corrosion or bent pins, that's what damaged your USB port.
    If the port requires physical repair, it's best to use Apple or an authorized dealer because if they make things worse while trying to fix it, they have to make it right. Joe's Appliance isn't similarly accountable.
    If you need more USB ports, ExpressCard to USB adapters are dirt cheap.
    Good luck.

  • Satellite 1900 (PS192E) - Doesn't recognize any CD/DVD

    Hey all,
    I have just bought a Toshiba Satellite 1900 (PS192E) and put an old 20GB HDD into it from an old laptop.
    When I boot up, the display is in VGA 16 colour mode, it recognises the DVD drive but doesn't recognise any CD/DVD when inserted. I have tried to install and run Toshibas "driver robot" utility but the display is such that I can't see the whole screen to start the scan.
    If there is anyone out there that could give me some guidance I'd be hugely appreciative.
    Many thanks
    James

    Maybe the drive is faulty, or the lens is dirty.
    Can you boot from bootable CD's? If yes, then Windows may have the incorrect filters.
    Try removing the CD/DVD Filters from the Registry.
    When CD/DVD related software is installed (such as iTunes, Nero, virtual CD software), they install filters into the registry, which can cause compatibility problems.
    1) Run Regedit (Start -> Run -> Regedit)
    2) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    3) In the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key, and delete the "LowerFilters" key.
    4) Reboot.
    If your CD/DVD programs stop working, you will need to reinstall them (preferably with an updated version).
    This utility can remove the filters for you:

  • Disk Utility doesn't recognize HD.  Installed new one, same problem.

    Hello,
    I have a MBP. It suddenly wouldn't boot up, and had the flashing question mark folder upon starting up, so I figured that the HD needed to be replaced. I ordered a brand new drive, and when I try to install Leopard, it doesn't see the new hard drive. I open Disk Utility to partition the drive to GUID, but Disk Utility doesn't even see the new drive. Just my optical drive is listed.
    I hooked up the old hard drive externally to another mac, and it appears to be working just fine. So it isn't a bad drive as I had originally thought.
    What else could be wrong? The laptop fails to see any internal hard drives. Is there anything else that I can do to fix this problem? Thanks.

    Purely conjecture, your serial ATA controller may be bad (or the cable). I assume nothing shows in System Profiler/Hardware/Serial-ATA either. Maybe try the SMC reset?
    -If the computer is on, turn it off.
    -Disconnect the AC Adapter and remove the computer's battery.
    -Press and hold down the power button for 5 seconds and then release the button.
    -Reconnect the battery and AC Adapter.
    -Press the Power button to restart the computer.

  • Mac Pro doesn't recognize any internal drive

    My Mac Pro (2008) -- after rebooting -- does not recognize any of the internal drives. I'm running 10.6.8 and all of a sudden after reboot, the machine hangs on grey screen and I get folder w/ question mark symbol. I boot from Snow Leopard install disk but no drive shows up as being able to reinstall on. Even opening up Disk Utility from Snow Leopard disc shows no internal drive.
    Any ideas?

    Just a few additional random thoughts on this Hardware:
    A SATA controller failure should take out all SATA drives. On the 2008 model, the Optical drives are IDE/ATA, but there are two additional SATA ports (data only) on the motherboard.
    In the 2008 and previous models, the Mac Pro RAID card uses a cable called iPass to intercept the essential signals to the four Hard Drive bays and route them through the RAID card. If that iPass cable were to come loose, the four main drive bays would stop working.

  • Anyone knows what do do when iMac doesn't recognize any USB or Bluetooth?

    Hello,
    if anyone can help, please. my iMac does not recognize anything I plug into the USB ports in the back. I can't use any keyboard or mouse or track pad. It does not recognize any bluetooth such as magic mouse, wireless keyboard or track pad. When I plug in an older keyboard or mouse it does not see it at all either. don't know what to do. Can't do anything on the computer, which otherwise seems to be working fine, except everything I was using is frozen on the desktop. any advise?

    Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

  • Power mac g4 MDD doesn't recognize any CD when booting with C depressed

    Hi, I purchased this Power Mac Mirror Door Drive about a month ago on e-Bay. It came with OS 10.4.8 installed, no CD's for OS 10 and a CD with an Orange 9 containing OS 9.2.1. OS 9 was not installed on the machine. I have PhotoShop and Quark that require OS 9. I have tried to follow all your discussions on installing OS 9, keeping OS 10.4.8 intact, but so far this machine will not recognize any bootable CD. The best I've gotten so far is the machine placed one of the attempts on the desk top as an empty CD. I have tried to boot holding down the C key, booted in safe mode, have tried bootable OS 10.2.1 CD's, have tried bootable Software restore CD's (set of four CD's) with OS 9.2.2, Power Mac G4 OS 9.2.2 Install CD, eMac OS 9 Install CD, iMac OS 9 Install, all Gray Labels. So far nothing works. I live on a lake in TN and if this thing wasn't so expensive it would have been a boat anchor by now. I don't have any way to reload OS 10.4.8 or I would try to reformat one of the hard drives and start over. Apple told me that I need the same disks that were shipped with the machine and that they would cost me $180 delivered to my home. But that puts me back to OS 10.2.1 and then I would have to purchase OS 10.4.8 again. How can I get Classic to load on this machine? The CD drive will load a music CD, or a DVD, or a blank CD-R just fine.
    Thanks,
    Tony

    Tony,
    The set of 6 restore CD's certainly sound like they're from the right era. The part numbers are very close to those for my MDD, which was on sale at the same time as your dual 867MHz. I have varying numbers from 691-3545-A to 691-3548-A, 691-3600-A (for restore CD 4). The two OSX install CD's come with 691-3956-A and 691-4081-A. All my CD part no's are prefixed with Z, for International English.
    Unfortunately the MDD's (at the time of your dual 867MHz MDD and my dual 1GHz MDD came with 4 restore CD's and two OSX install CD's. To get OS9 installed, it would need to be the right restore CD for the Mac.
    Unless you're up for a bit of trickery. At no cost. All you need to be able to do is use the three Unix commands "cp", "ls" and "cd".
    With the Mac booted up into OSX, open up a Terminal session, make the window bigger if you want. Insert the first PMG4 restore cd.
    In Terminal:
    Go to the /Volumes directory (cd /Volumes).
    List the directories found there (ls -la)
    Two will be the internal disks (20G and 60G if I remember). One will be for the Restore cd (probably called "Restore CD" or something.
    go into the "Restore CD" directory. (cd Restore*) Note, if you try 'cd Restore CD', it will error, you would need double-quotes round a directory name with spaces in it, ie. cd "Restore CD".
    List the directory contents (ls -la)
    In there is a '.images' directory, which contains disk images, including one of OS9. You can't see this folder in the Finder.
    Go into the .images directory (cd .images)
    List the directory contents (ls -la)
    There should be an OS9General.dmg disk image.
    You will need to copy this to a directory that you can read (cp OS9* ~/).
    It's a 300MB+ file, being copied from cd, so it may take 4-5 minutes.
    Now in the Finder:
    Go to your home directory.
    There should be an OS9General.dmg disk image there. You can mount this.
    It should have (fingers crossed) a usable OS9 System Folder (and OS9 Applications Folder) that you can use. Copy it to your startup disk. You may have to play around with the System/Finder to get the folder blessed. Then see if you can select it in the OSX Startup Disk system pref. Try a reboot if you feel brave.
    I would go through all the other Restore CD's, just like above, looking for useful stuff you can install.
    All this means nothing of course, if there are no OS9 drivers installed on the startup disk. But with two disks installed (and other Macs to hand) you should be able to reformat one of the disks (from within OSX) installing OS9 drivers.
    Perhaps someone knows of a way to get OS9 drivers installed without having to reformat. I'm sure it can be done, but I have no experience of doing it.
    Note, you're still left without an OS9 startup cd, but if all goes well, you're back in OS9. And there would be nothing to stop you putting an OS9 System Folder on each disk.
    Let us know what you decide / do.

  • LG Plasma TV doesn't recognize any of my Apple products

    I am the proud owner of a brand new LG Plasma TV. I just went out and purchased $80 worth of adapters to be able to connect my ipad, ipod touch and iphone to this tv. Imagine my astonishment when I found that the tv refuses to recognize any apple product at all!! I used an HDMI cable and hooked it to an apple AG digital adapter. I called LG directly and they said it is Apple's issue.....I called Apple and they want to charge me $29 to "do some troubleshooting" that may or may not work. Anybody else with this problem?? Anybody solved a similar problem?

    Yes I did....LG admits their TV's won't work with Apple products. They say that it is an issue with Apple's safeguards. However the tech said that other people have had the same issues and have managed a work around. I don't think I want to pay Apple another $29 for a workaround that might or might not work
