New phone line. So how do I re-set up the airport express?
i set up a new phone number at home and must now set up the airport express to the new telephone line.
How do I do it?
The express does not have any immediate connection to the phone or phone line at all. The express is not a modem. Your new phone number meaning a new ISP??
ISP should supply a suitable modem or have a list of suitable modems you can choose from, if your old one doesn't work. The Airport will plug into the new modem by ethernet.

How to set up the airport express with a linksys wireless-g broadband router
I need to know if and how to set up an airport express to use to extend a home wi-fi network. I have AT&T service with a 2WIRE modem. I am using a Linksys wireless-G broadband router. I also have the new Macbook Air notebook. The airport express keeps giving me a blinking amber light even when the ethernet cable (from the modem) connected. Please let me know how to set up an extended wifi network using this system. Any help would be appreciated.
If that is all that is done, the Express would not provide more wireless coverage. Instead, it would duplicate the coverage provided by the Linksys and there would be two WiFi systems covering approximately the same area. As per my above comment, one Express connects via Ethernet to the Linksys. The second Express provides the extension.
You must have misunderstood what I was saying.
Linksys is providing a wireless network.
The Express is connected to one of the LAN ports on the Linksys router using a long Ethernet cable (or Ethernet powerline adapters)
The Express is located on the other side of the house, for example.
The Express is configured to create a wireless network using the same wireless network name, security and password as the Linksys router
The Express is configured in Bridge Mode
This has worked quite well for me for years. Computers "switch" from one wireless access point to another smoothly and automatically while they move around the house.
Although this is an "extended" network, it is technically known as a "roaming" network.
This is what I was suggesting as a possible alternative without having to buy more hardware. -
How can I get the Airport Express to handle all the PPPoE stuff?
Hi, I’m visiting my family in China, and now trying to help my dad, with his Airport Express and how to set up a PPPoE connection.
We have currently set up the Airport Express in bridge mode (not distributing IP adresses and selecting DHCP under the Internet tab in admin utility). The Airport settings on our two computers is set up to connect using PPPoE using the given login name and password. (ps! we can not see the Base station in Airport Admin Utility when using these settings, we would have to select a new location from the Apple menu to see it and make condigurations.)
What we want is to do, is to have the Airport Express connect to the ISP using a PPPoE connection and not through the computer.
I know there is a 'Connect using PPPoE' option in Airport admin util, letting me input account name and password. If I select this setting instead of DHCP, enable distribution of IP addresses and configure my Airport card to NOT connect using PPPoE, I will see my base station in the Airport admin util with the IP address of 10.0.1.1 (or similar) and my computer will have x.x.x.2. Next to the Airport icon in the menubar, a scrolling message will say 'Looking for PPPoE host' without anything happen. I am sure my account name and password is correct as they've both worked when using this computer to connect to PPPoE (like now)
How can I get the Airport Express to handle all the PPPoE stuff without using bridge mode?
Ps! Both me and my dad have iPhones whom we can’t seem to get to connect unless its been distributed an IP address cause there's as fars as I know, no options of inputing a PPPoE user name and password.Any solutions to this? I'm in China also, in Beijing, trying to get my Airport Express to work with an ADSL modem.
Direct ethernet cable connection to my Macbook works fine.
When I configure the Airport Express with the ID and password that seems to be fine also – Airport Express shows a green light.
But I cannot figure out the settings to connect wirelessly from my Macbook to the Airport Express. I get a constantly scolling message: "Looking for PPPoEhost..."
thanks

How to set up an Airport Express on Windows 8 on laptop with no CD drive?
I recently purchased an Asus Ultrabook which has no CD drive. I have Airport Express set up on my old laptop, this was set up via an installation CD.
How do I move the Airport Express to my new laptop and install the software without the CD? I can't seem to find a software download for it.
I'm sure this is a basic question for those in the know, but I'm stumped!
Thanks :-)Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If your PC hasn't got a disc drive, download AirPort Utility from the Apple website to set up the AirPort Express > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1547?viewlocale=es_ES -
How to set up an AirPort Express using static IP with internet provider limitations?
I am trying to set up an Airport Express to act as a wireless router (for multiple users to use) and I have some limitations with my ISP provider...my ISP provider restricts access to the internet for each device by only providing/issuing one IP address to one device (so they charge extra for multiple attached devices). So only one device can access internet via an IP address (they link the device's MAC address to that specific IP address, therefore limiting internet to only one device).
My ISP provider has provided me with the following info:
- IP address
- Subnet Mask
- Router Address/Gateway
- DNS servers (4 were provided)
- domain name
I was trying to work around the ISP provider so I don't get charged using multiple devices so I was configuring my Airport Express with the info provided (ie-IP address, subnet mask, etc.) by configuring the IPv4 "manually" using a static IP. After plugging in this info using AirPort Utility, I was able to get access to the internet through wifi/Airport but only if the bridge is disconnected and only with one device at the time (trying to use another device to access the WIFI from the Airport Express gave me the error "can't access the internet because the IP address 128.xxx.xxx.xx" is already in use by another user).
I tried different angles such as changing the router mode to 'DHCP and NAT' (which doesn't yield any access to the internet on any device; I get the amber light blinking on the Airport device). When attempting to change the DHCP range, I get an error saying "the range provided doesn't work" (not exact wording).
The only other thing I haven't tried is to supply my ISP provider with the MAC address of the Airport Express device. Does anyone know if this would work and, if so, would I be able to use my Airport Express as a wireless router?
Unfortunately, I can't switch ISP providers as this provider is the only one I can use in the area (so frustrating!!) so I have to try to work around the system. Please help!!
Note: my Airport Express is the new model (I bought it a few weeks ago) and I have tried connecting to it using Airport Utility version 6.3.2 with Mac OS X 10.9.4 and OS X 10.9.2Welcome to Apple Support Communities

How long does a new phone line take to fit? Patien...
I ordered a new phone line in April and was given a date of 1st May 2013 for the engineer to call.
Having booked a day off work for the 1st May I got a text the evening before to advise that extra work was required on the lines outside my home and that they would be in touch soon. On 17th May I got another text to advise that my order for telephone and broadband had been CANCELLED. I phoned and a new order was placed (with a half-hearted apologies for the incorrect cancellation).
Text: 20th May. Apologies for the delay in booking an appointment.
Text 21st May: BT here. Your phone service is ready for you. You can find a phone's number by calling 17070 from it.
I did not not have a phione line.
Text: 30th May. To advise a new number.
Text: 30th May: Apologies for the delay in booking an appointment. Due to necessary additional engineering work. Next update will be 6th June.
Text: 5th June: BT here. Just to confirm you've set up online billing with BT, If you didn't please let us know at ... I didn't set anything up as far as I know.
6th June: Apologies for the delay in providing your service. No updates. Escalated the lack of infpormation and hope to have more news tomorrow.
7th June: Apologies for the delay on your order. I can confirm that we are awaiting the outcome of our escalation with our suppliers and are confident of haveing (sp) and (sp) update for you on 11/6.
Now, I am quite a patient person but I need a landline. I live 60 metres or so from a Post Office and even less from a main road. I can see a telephone pole from my back garden just 50 metres away. My neighbours have landlines. Why can't I have one?

New phone line and broadband, massive noise margin...
Hi, being a long time DSL stalwart a recent move to a new property has meant I've needed to switch over to ADSL instead and thus far it's proving to be a bit of a mare!
I waited a month for the initial installation engineer who promptly never showed anyway, no bother I thought, the hub turned up and I installed it myself and it promptly didn't work It soon became pretty apparent that the phone line was completely dead even from the test socket. A few phone calls later and the phone line is working much to my delight. The broadband is another story though, initially it still couldn't connect but later in the day it managed to get going. However it's excruciatingly slow with an average of 20 to 30kps throughput and substantial packetloss. Also worth noting is that in this new property, only the master socket actually works, this place has 4 other sockets dotted around all of which appear to be dead, could these be part of the issue? Does using the test socket completely cut these out and rule out bad wiring? Just to add, at 13 hours connected the adsl status is pretty much the same and I couldn't notice anything on the BT line noise test number.
I'm not familar with the workings on ADSL lines but I'm guessing the root of the problem is down to a wildly varying noise margin both up and down. Down fluctuates between ~2 and 20 within a matter of seconds and up gives some numbers that defy belief. Now the line was originally activated on Wednesday, actually kicked into life sometime on Friday and the router has been connected for 13 hours now, whilst it's still early days and things should bed in more, I assume I'm right in thinking I should be alarmed at how bad a line I'm starting out with? And should I be directing my ire at the builders or BT?
Any help and suggestions will be hugely appreciated!
Cheers!
Solved!
Go to Solution.as it is a newbuild is the master socket inside your home or outside like this
connecting to the test socket will eliminate all your extension sockets and should be your best connection. if you are not in the test socket could you try it and post new stats please
with your attenuation I would expect a connection speed of about 18mb when you get this fiixed

I have BT Infinity at home with the BT modem connected to the phone line and then to a BThub which delivers the wif signal. I have purchased an airport extreme to improve wi fi strength if how do I connect up to hub it states connect modem to WAN on back of Airport Extreme.
Instructions do not mention connection to BT Hub and the BT modem has only one output which you dicsonnect from Hub and connect to airport extreme leaving. Once you do this Hub has no signal.
How do I rectify
Paulyou can also set up the Airport extreme to extend the wireless by hitting the wireless tab in the airport menu then click the drop down menu to select extend
Apple's "extend" function is a proprietary setting that was designed to only work with other Apple routers.
It would be extremely unlikely that this setting would work with a BT product, or any other manufacturer's product for that matter.
But, I haven't tested this with a BT product...and I suppose anything is possible.
Still, I would be extremely surprised if this worked.
The AirPort Extreme might "join" the BT network if you try this......but the AirPort does not provide any additional wireless signal coverage when it "joins" a wireless network. In fact, it really does nothing when it "joins" a network except enable the USB port. -
I got a new iphone 5c for Xmas and my laptop is registered with my iphone 4, which I no longer use or have hence the new phone lol. How do I remove the old info and register my new phone? Will it let me?
You do not register the phone with the laptop. If you are using the same Apple ID on the new phone as the old, you will have no trouble. Connect the phone and you can restore from a backup of the old phone, or just sync your new phone if it is already set up, with the laptop, managing your content in iTunes.

I have insurance through apple for my iPhone 4. Last night my phone was stolen. Am I covered under insurance to get a new phone? And how much will it cost? Second- what should I do about it? I don't know if I should shut down the phone or what in case my iPhone is able to be located or what not?

No, you simply do not. Apple does not sell insurance.
Apple offers an Extended Warranty called AppleCare.
Warranties doe not cover lost or stolen devices. Buy a new one. -

Worst Customer Service Installing New Phone Line
I am experiencing the worst customer service i've ever dealt with. First it took 3attempts to set up a home phone line. Verizon scheduled me between 8am-12pm the first time and came around 2:30, no one was there. Second time we scheduled between 12p-4p, they came around 8:30am. No one was there. Then they wanted to schedule again 5 days later. I wasn't having it, so they schedule next day (Sat) between 8am-12pm. Finally a technician came. He installed a new phone line. I needed this line for my son who was coming home on house arrest. All of this was explained to Verizon. The longer it took them to install the line, the longer he would be in jail. After the line was installed, my son came home on Friday, 7/3. Some time on Sat 7/4 The line stopped working, and 1am he was re-arrested because there was no phone service.Today is the 9th and still there is no service. I sat in my cvar this morning from 7:45am to 1:15 pm waiting for a technician who was supposed to be there between 8am-12pm. After numerous clls to Verizon, and numerous promises to call me back, no one ever called back, and the phone is still not on. I have never had a customer service experience as bad as this EVER! I am so glad I have my wireless with Sprint. I have Verizon FIOS at my home in Jersey, but this phone is in Philly. To top it off, one Verizon employee tells me today that The house arrest equipment doesn't work with fiber optics. Why wasn't I told this when I first ordered the service? I'm still waiting for a Verizon Supervisor to call. My last call, i was conviently disconnected while being transferred to a supervisor. Because of Verizon's no care attitude, now it will probably take another week before my son is released again.

Cost of new phone line for BT Basic customers
I have ordered a new phone line for my 92 year old mother who is moving sheltered housing flats. She will be charged £130 for the new line because a) there is not an existing line to take over and b) she is a BT Basic customer. These customers are discriminated against as they are on low income and seem to be the only type of customer that is charged this fee. Also because it is just a phone line ie no broadband etc she will be 10 days with no phone and her mobile does not work inside her new flat. She is a very vulnerable person and again seems to be discriminated against. Any one got any ideas?
HI the 130.00 charge is made by Openreach for the work to install a new line this charge is made to all customers that need a new line installing for the first time there is no discrimination because you are a BT basic customer like wise the time scale is also the same for all customers it depends on the availability of an engineer to carry out the work

How to change a setting in the Java Control Panel with command line
Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to change a setting in the Java Control Panel with command line or with a script. I want to enable "Use SSL 2.0 compatible ClientHello format"
I can't seem to find any documentation on how to change settings in the Java Control Panel via the command line
Edited by: 897133 on Nov 14, 2011 7:15 AMOK figured it out. This is for the next person seeking the same solution.
When you click on the Java Control Panel (found in the Control panel) in any version of Windows, it first looks for a System Wide Java Configuration (found here: C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment). At this point you must be wondering why you don't have this folder (C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment) or why its empty. Well, for an enterprise environment, you have to create it and place something in it - it doesn't exist by default. So you'll need a script (I used Autoit) to create the directory structure and place the the two files into it. The two files are "deployment.properties" and "deployment.config".
Example: When you click on the Java Control Panel it first checks to see if this directory exists (C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment) and then checks if there is a "deployment.config". If there is one it opens it and reads it. If it doesn't exist, Java creates user settings found here C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment on Windows 7.
__deployment.config__
It should look like this inside:
*#deployment.config*
*#Mon Nov 14 13:06:38 AST 2011*
*# The First line below specifies if this config is mandatory which is simple enough*
*# The second line just tells Java where to the properties of your Java Configuration*
*# NOTE: These java settings will be applied to each user file and will overwrite existing ones*
deployment.system.config.mandatory=True
deployment.system.config=file\:C\:/WINDOWS/Sun/Java/Deployment/deployment.properties
If you look in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment on Windows 7 for example you will find "deployment.properties". You can use this as your default example and add your settings to it.
How?
Easy. If you want to add *"Use SSL 2.0 compatible ClientHello format"*
Add this line:
deployment.security.SSLv2Hello=true
Maybe you want to disable Java update (which is a big problem for enterprises)
Add these lines:
deployment.javaws.autodownload=NEVER
deployment.javaws.autodownload.locked=
Below is a basic AutoIt script you could use (It compiles the files into the executable. When you compile the script the two Java files must be in the directory you specify in the FileInstall line, which can be anything you choose. It will also create your directory structure):
#NoTrayIcon
#RequireAdmin
#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
Func _JavaConfig()
$ConfigFile_1 = @TempDir & "\deployment.properties"
$ConfigFile_2 = @TempDir & "\deployment.config"
FileInstall ("D:\My Documents\Autoit\Java config\deployment.properties", $ConfigFile_1)
FileInstall ("D:\My Documents\Autoit\Java config\deployment.config", $ConfigFile_2)
FileCopy($ConfigFile_1, @WindowsDir & "\Sun\Java\Deployment\", 9)
FileCopy($ConfigFile_2, @WindowsDir & "\Sun\Java\Deployment\", 9)
Sleep(10000)
FileDelete(@TempDir & "\deployment.properties")
FileDelete(@TempDir & "\deployment.config")
EndFunc
_JavaConfig()
Now if you have SCUP and have setup Self Cert for your organization, you just need to create a SCUP update for JRE.
