Need to reset daily?
Everything was going along fine and then out of the blue I can no longer connect wirelessly, in fact when I took my MacBook Pro and plugged it into the ethernet port I still couldn't connect. I reset my Zytel DSL (Earthlink) modem and the A.E. and it worked BUT then the next day, no connection. Repeated the reset, everything worked. On the 3rd day I restarted the A.E. through the Airport Utility by choosing/unchoosing "Interference robustness" and it reconnected without restarting the Zytel modem. This has been my daily routine for the last week and a half.
Why do I have to reset each day? Is it my service provider or the A.E. or my laptop? The two desktop computers connected thru the ethernet ports have no problem with their connection.
PS. At work, I have no problems at all connecting wirelessly thru their A.E.

Here are some simple maintenance routines to try:
Repair Permissions - /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app. Start Disk Utility, select your HD and click on Repair Permissions. When finished, quit Disk Utility and then restart your computer.
Reset PRAM - hold down Option-Command-P-R keys when starting until you hear the startup chime a 2nd time.
Safe Mode Startup - hold down the Shift-key at startup until you see the login screen. When logged-in, then go to System Preferences/Network/AirPort
- click on the 'Network Name:' roll-button, select 'Join Other Network...', enter 'Network Name and select the security type you are using, and finally, enter your Password and click 'Join'.
- click on 'Advanced', TCP/IP and confirm that 'Configure IPv4:' is set to 'Using DHCP', click 'OK'.
- click the 'Apply' button and exit System Preferences.
See you are using 10.4.11 - the AirPort network setup procedure may be a little different to 10.5.x.
Have you fiddled with the settings in AirPort Utility for your AEB under the 'Internet' icon? Open AirPort Utility, select your AEBn, Manual Setup, Internet:
- is 'Connect Using:' set to 'Ethernet' - set to this if not.
- is 'Configure IPv4:' set to 'Using DHCP' - set to this if not.
- is 'Ethernet WAN Port:' set to 'Automatic (Default)' - set to this if not.
- is 'Connection Sharing:' set to 'Share a public IP address' - set to this if not.
Click 'Update and wait for AEB to restart.
Hope this helps.

Setup - TWC MODEM w/latest docsis set in ethernet only mode - AE 5th gen create a network mode - cat 6 connection to 2nd gen AE in extend wireless network mode. This setup work great for several months, now 5th gen AE needs to be reset several times a day.
I realized I only used the abbreviation AEB vs. Airport Extreme. Caught this after the 15 minute edit restriction. Added in case folks are searching by Airport Extreme. In addition, the solution I setup is a Roaming Network solution vs. "one network". Enjoy!

Why am i needing to reset airport extreme almost daily?
why am i needing to reset airport extreme almost daily? Is it just too old?
Teresa,
You haven't provided any useful information so it's almost impossible to help you. If you are really running OS X 10.2.x as your profile states then you are posting in the wrong forum, this forum is for Intel based iMacs that began shipping with Tiger 10.4.x. Also you haven't stated what Airport Extreme you have, there have been many models over the years. Once you locate which AE you have I'd recommend posting in the appropriate AE forum and try to paint a clear picture of what is happening and also provide the verison of OS X you're using, the Mac model and ever the firmware version of the AE you have. You can find the firmware version by running Airport Utility. -

Adding a counter to a filename that resets daily
Dear,
I'm trying to add a counter to a filename, but I want it to reset daily.
So on monday if I send three files I want file_1, file_2 and file_3. On tuesday it should once again be file_1, file_2, etc.
I'm using the Counter option in the File Receiver Communication Channel but I don't see the optino to reset it daily. Is this an option, or will I have to work with a Z-table on the PI machine, fill up my counter dynamically in the Message Mapping and then use dynamic variables?
Kind regards,
Frederik-Jan.Hi,
I think this caanot be done as the file counter variable is stored in memory. Whenever a j2ee engine restart happen it get reset. Check this note:
>>Note 821267 - FAQ: XI 3.0 / PI 7.0/ PI 7.1 File Adapter
It is stated there that
Q: After configuring a File Adapter receiver channel with the File Construction Mode set to "Add Counter", I noticed that the counter gets reset each time I restart the J2EE engine.
A: This behavior is by design. The current counter value is not persisted, but only kept in memory. It is intended to generate distinct file names, but not strictly increasing numbers. After a J2EE restart, the File Adapter will start writing messages beginning with the smallest free counter number (skipping existing larger numbers).
I would suggest you to try handling this in Message Mapping. Then you need to create the file name and overwrite using Dynamic Configuration. There you can see whether the day is Monday and reset the value!!!

as many of you do, I use time capsule as airport, too...
It worked fine for 6 months or so after I bought the new time capsule. (I bought it in September 2012.)
Since the beginning of this year, I had to reset, and power off and plug it in almost every week, then now I need to reset and power off and back on again every day...
When I first set up the time capsule, I followed the instruction with the manual.
But, now I am so lost and don't want to reset every day for wifi connection.
Anyone has problem like me or knows how to solve this issue?
Please help..
I have MacBook Pro OS X 10.8.4 & my roommates have PCs. (just in case if it helps...)For PC it is important the wireless has names that are compatible.. short.. like 10 characters.. but 2-20 is fine. no spaces.. and pure alphanumeric.
Use WPA2 personal only.. with pure alphanumeric password .. again 10-20 characters should be fine.
The latest firmware is a dud. Go back to 7.6.1
Open the airport utility.. click on the TC and holding the option key click the actual version number..
Go back to 7.6.1 is simple.. just select it and away it will go.. ignore future requests for upgrade.. you can also tell the utility not to check weekly for updates. You will need 5.6 utility for this I think..
So do the firmware downgrade.
Then do a factory reset and follow the name information above.. for TC name as well btw.. wireless name/s and disk share name.. which by default is data and that is fine.
So some instructions in...
The Factory Reset.
Power down the TC.
Hold in reset. and keep holding it in. Be Gentle! It is a tiny surface mount switch with a plastic lever.. Attempting to push it out the other side of the TC will not make the switch turn on better.
(I fix TC and have several reset levers bent over and jammed or broken off).
Power on the TC.. remember with the reset held in.. this needs three arms.. a friend or power switch you can get to with your feet..
Keep holding in reset for about 10sec until the front LED flashes rapidly.
Release reset and wait .. the boot will be slow as it deletes previous setting.. only from router side and pulls out the factory defaults. No files are deleted on the hard disk.. but the name of the TC may change.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so.
You can also load airport utility into a pc and get access to all the settings. Untick the box for firmware updates.. it will still bug you occasionally.. regardless of the setting.. just ignore it..
You might still need to do the occasional reboot of the TC as well. -
I am not sure what my kids have done but after several attempts it says I am putting in the wrong answers to my security questions and now has locked it. It says I need to reset but no clue how to.....can anyone help
Hello Racheljez,
I would be concerned too if I was not able to access my Apple ID. I found some resources that I think will help.
First, I recommend reviewing the following article for steps in resetting and updating your password to gain access to your account:
Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" alert appears
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2446
If you are not able to gain access to your account after following the steps in that article, I recommend using the following link for additional assistance in accessing your Apple ID:

Alright so here is the issue. When I first started using iTunes I created my AppleID. I locked it in to remember my password and authorize my computer so that I would NEVER HAVE TO ENTER IT AGAIN. So years pass, no problem. Then "ITUNES 11" come on everyone lets upgrade or you can't proper use the iTunes Store. Seriously it wouldn't let me access the store. Go Figure. So I upgrade simple right? No. It really isn't when iTunes 11 rolled out it was riddled with minor bugs that made the experience annoying so I did a rollback and live without the store for awhile.
About a year passes and I try again this time upgrading iTunes through a COMPLETE fresh install, again I did what had done the first time I logged my AppleID and reauthorized my computer. Hurrah other than getting use to the new UI it ran perfectly. Yes Finally! Right? Again.... No. No more than 2 or 3 software updates later suddenly my password for my AppleID is incorrect I was like "Okay?" and re-entered it thinking the big update cleared my settings.
Wrong Password please reset password to continue using the iTunes store.
I was like okay maybe the user agreement change and we all need to reset passwords and re-accept the EUA. So I go through the process to create a new password successfully and reset my AppleID in iTunes with the new password. Come back a few weeks later it happens again this time I enter my new password and what do I get?
Wrong Password please reset password to continue using the iTunes store.
So I first do a repair install to my iTunes than reset my password this time NOT setting it to remember password. Great everything works fine again password even matched my Home CompID so that I could NEVER lose it well come a few days later I try to use the store and what happens?
Wrong Password please reset password to continue using the iTunes store.
to try to make my Long story a little shorter....
This has been going on for the better part of 3 years I have almost completely dropped iTunes which has the better store library for Goggle Play Music who's store library isn't even a third the size iTunes has because their system works and my log-in is my e-mail. I repeatedly completely uninstalled iTunes and wiped it from my registry in hope a clean install would fix the problem but it never does.
My OS is Vista Home Premium Edition 32-bit and no picking on my OS I been working to get a new computer but that isn't happening anytime soon so I work with what I got.Even removing the .xml files doesn't make a difference. Also, I now installed another update of iTunes, but still having the same problem, and this time there are no .xml files or preference files whatsoever in the Application Data and Local Settings\Application Data iTunes folders. It seems like for some reason iTunes is unable to create these. What should I do?

I my mac wont recognise my password, i have tried to reset password using single user but my mac wont stop at single user it just continues to root, how do i get it to stop at single user so i can add info needed to reset password?
Are your sure that wasn't a Verbose boot (Cmd-V) you were trying? That would go on to a regular boot.
Try a PRAM Reset, then try the single user, Cmd-S, at the startup chime. For the PRAM Reset, hold down Option - Cmd - P - R all together until it chimes a total of three times, then let go to finish booting. -
I updated my Apple ID primary email address without having switched off 'Find my....' on all devices. A 2 hour very helpful call with Apple Support solved ny Apple ID and ICloud. Later, I tried to update apps but my iTunes account is still on the old ID and I can't access that email/password anymore. I can't get a support appointment for 48 hours but need to update travel apps soon!
Do I need to reset to factory settings on all devices (5!) and start again...or how else can i get iTunes to link to my Apple ID now?
Any help appreciated!Thanks, David. But that was the first thing I tried. For some reason, when I try to change my Apple ID back to my old email address, I get the message that that Apple ID is already in use and so I cannot use it! I have tried requesting a password reset using my old Apple ID email, but I've waited and waited and nothing has come to my old email address. This is sooooooo frustrating!

Good day. I have this problem. I need to reset Apple ID. I have the receipt and box from this device this confirms that the unit belongs to me. It was established by the seller at the store he not asked me my name and my mail. And I think that they put their own or invented. When I took the phone after setting it worked. Phone was only used for calls and SMS and some Internet. When I needed to install the application and he asked for the code. I did not know him. I went to the store where it was set up and found out that it was closed forever. I decided to reset it to factory settings and create a new APPLE ID but it is blocked. After reading on the Internet that will only support from APPLE. On the apple website in the support section of the created application No. 749644595.
February 16, 2015 called the Apple support Russia.
1)15 minutes waited specialist
2) After 5 minutes of conversation, the expert Perevi me to another
3)waited 30 minutes after that I was turned off
4)I called back and I was still waiting for 15 minutes
5) I replied and said that can't help me and hung up
6) I called again, waited 10 minutes
7)I was transferred to another specialist whom I waited 30 minutes and I got disconnected.
8) I called and the operator by the name of Vadim almost all my questions answered what apple id and did not answer the main question.
What should I do now?No I bought it from his hands. But bought it in a full set with box and receipt.

I deleted my old email account and when i went to change everything on my iphone it still shows the old email even though i created a new apple id. I also can't remember the password and now can't access icloud. Do i need to reset the phone?
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do. -
I have a problem. My Apple ID is not my iCloud email, my msn is my Apple ID, but I need to reset the password for my icloud email address because I can't remember what it is. How can do I reset my iCloud emaill password when it's not my Apple ID??
Your iCloud and @icloud.com login ID is an Apple ID. Go to http://appleid.apple.com and sign in with the ID you use to sign into iCloud (you can check this by going to http://www.icloud.com and signing in there).
Click 'Password & Security' in the sidebar and you will be able to change the password.
HOWEVER
Before you do this you must turn off 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' if you have it enabled on any of your devices, otherwise you will land yourself in difficulties. -
