New iPhone &iPad 2 working with Extreme Base Station Model A1034

iPad 2 worked with Extreme Base Station Model A1034. Now new iPhone and now neither can connect to the Base Station. What could be the reason for the iPad 2 to stop working with the Base Station and why can't the iPhone use the Base Station? Thank you!

At this point are you saying that none of your wireless clients can connect to the AirPort? If so, then I would recommend that you do the following:
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref:Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and have recently upgraded to Mountain Lion. Now airport utility won't work with my base station so I bought a Time Capsule. For the life of me I can't make the substitution work and only see a blinking amber light.

The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
1) I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access. But do I have to change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
2) Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
N.Korean hackers.
[Edit] Whoops-- one more question: I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it. What do I need to do?
You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
Look at Q3 here.

Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together.

Need to download airport utility 5.6 on OS X 10.7.5 to work with older base station

Hello lvpd. Welcome to the Apple Discussion!
i want to extend the range of my old airport extreme base station, the one that is a circular pyramid. I was wondering if the airport express would work or if I should get something else.
Yes, you can extend the older 802.11b/g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) with the newer 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn). To do so, they would both need to be reconfigured for a Wireless Distribution System (WDS).

Does Airport Express work with Airport Base Station (not Airport Extreme)?

I'm needing to extend the range of my Airport base station. I purchased an Airport Extreme to funcion as a repeater, but it's not working. Will Airport Express work with a (white) Airport base station. If not, how can I extend the range besides moving the base station?

Can someone actually tell me how to set-up the Airport Express (with my Airport) so that it will act like a repeater. Once again, this is an Airport and not an Airport Extreme.

Do I need a new printer to work on express base station. My printer at present works on wireless system.

I have epson printer, will this workwith the airport express base station. At present it works on a wireless set up from my windows pc.
Regards Graham

I maybe worded my question wrongly so I'll try again. I have an Epson Stylus SX525WD printer which at present works wireless through my router and windows pc. I also have an ipad which I cannot print with through present wireless set up.
If I was too purchase a apple airport express base station would I be able to print from ipad and pc on a wireless set up. Hope thats a bit clearer

My WEP key don´t work with Apple Base Station Snow

Hello.
I have an Airport Base Station Snow and two computers. One Apple iMac G5 and Apple PowerBook G4 667MHz. I have a new Nokia E65 and the phone can connect to internet using WLAN. I try to connect to my base station but I can´t enter because I enter my password (6 alphabetic password) and i receive an INVALID WEP KEY. How is this possible when I can connect with my two computers??...and others computers can enter too?....Anyone has this problem withan Nokia E65 and ABS Snow?

Try using the network equivalent password. See KB 106864, AirPort Extreme: Getting an equivalent network password.

Maxtor Drive doesn't work with Apple base station

Could someone help me out here. I have a Maxtor one touch 4 mini. Works perfectly when I connect it directly to my laptop, which a powerbook G4. But when I try to connect it to my base station, nothing happens. Any ideas? It is already formatted to MAC extended format.

Will the new Iphone 3Gs work with Iphone 3G accessories?

So I have an Iphone 3G and of course I'm ready to upgrade to the 3Gs.
However, I have a car charger and the Video component cables for my 3G. Will these work with the 3Gs?

Your car charger and the video component cables for your 3G should continue to work. The reason some of the car chargers that worked with the first generation iPhone didn't work with the iPhone 3G is Apple removed the firewire pins from the dock connector with the iPhone 3G. A number of car chargers charged via firewire, not USB. The first generation iPhone supports charging via firewire, which is not supported with the iPhone 3G, and will no longer be supported with any future iPhone or iPod models.

Older airport extreme base station as a network extender with new time capsule

I just bought a new time capsule (802.11ac). Can my older airport extreme base station (model A1143) be used as a network extender with it?

Yes, although it maybe disappointing..
There are two kinds of extending.. wireless repeater type which is poorest as it has to transfer all packets in two steps instead of one.. hence will halve the speed.
Or using ethernet to the old extreme and set it in bridge.. You can then setup roaming network... this is much better.. but getting ethernet to the right place could be messy or expensive or both.

wireless extend doco.. mind all of this is out of date.. the basics are correct.. the methods via the airport utility may be obsolete.

This Airport Extreme base station can't connect to iCloud

I have a Airport Extreme base station (model A1408) running firmware 7.6.4.
In troubleshooting a Back to My Mac issue, I noticed that the configuration page for the base station had a yellow dot next to my apple id in the "Back to My Mac" section of the "Base Station" tab, with words underneath that say, "This Airport Extreme base station can't connect to iCloud".
When I delete the id and re-enter it, the dot goes green and no errors are generated (the id/password tokens are accepted). Then, I push "Update", and after the base station comes back, the light is yellow again. (To be clear, the dot next to the apple id is yellow, not the base station status light, which is always green.)
I'm connected to Xfinity Cable Internet service via a Motorola SB6141.
Everything iCloud related works for my various iOS and MacOS devices except Back to My Mac.
Can anyone point me to a solution? I've already been through Apple's troubleshooting and support docs related to Back to My Mac.
Thanks in advance!

NEVER MIND!
After reverting to the old LinkSys router, I left the AEBS powered up all night. This morning, I tried once again and the AEBS mysteriously started working with my laptop after reconnecting and power-cycling the cable modem. Go figure!
Unfortunately, the iMac in another room doesn't seem to be able to join the new network, but I'll close this thread and perhaps open a new one after doing some more trouble-shooting.
Thanks for your comments and suggestions.

Difference between Extreme Base Station vs. Express Base Station ?

I use an Ibook with an Airport Extreme Card. I use it wirelessly to my Phone Companies (Windstream here in New Mexico) wireless modem with antenna they provided for me. My question is...I am unable to pick up a good signal on the other end of our house...Do I need a base station or an Airport Express or Extreme Base station to help with a longer distance between my Ibook and the wireless modem? Not sure what the difference is? We have a guest house that is rented on weekends to tourists...I want them to pick up a frequency from my wireless modem that is over at our place. Does it matter which base station I get? In order for the signal to get stronger between homes. And does one base station eliminate the need to have my wireless modem? Thanks in advance- Jeff

Do I need a base station or an Airport Express or Extreme Base station to help with a longer distance between my Ibook and the wireless modem?
Unfortunately, very few non-AirPort wireless routers will work with AirPort base stations to extend the wireless network in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). However, if your wireless modem (which sounds like a gateway) also provides wired LAN ports, you could connect an AirPort base station to it and then extend the network, wirelessly, with additional ones. You can create a WDS with all AirPort Extreme Base Stations (AEBS), all AirPort Express Base Stations (AX) or a mix of both. (Note: The new AEBS, to be available in February, does not appear to have WDS functionality.)
Does it matter which base station I get? In order for the signal to get stronger between homes.
No. However, it's important to understand that a WDS does not "boost" a signal, only re-transmits it at the same throughput as it receives it.
And does one base station eliminate the need to have my wireless modem?
Unfortunately, no. The AirPort base stations do not incorporate a DSL or cable modem.

Set up existing expresses with new extreme base station

We just replaced our old extreme base station with the new fast one. It works good so far except that now my two existing airport expresses- one I use for airtunes and the other to relay the wireless signal to a far corner of the house- don't work. What do I need to do to set them up with the new station? I tried a reset but it didn't help.

Either connect them with ethernet to configure the Expresses or find them wirelessly(you can use Airport Utility or the older Airport Admin Utility). The bottom line is to get the Express selected in Airport ie the icon on the top file menu then use the Utility. If your nearwork is not visible to select then use the preferred drop down menu found in Network pane of system preferences. You may need to type in the network name or use the + button.
