No airplay after updating airport firmware

I have three Airport Express units around my house, and I regularly stream to them from my mauc using airplay. Last week I updated the firmware for the AE's and now none of them show up as remote speakers in itunes. Even the little airplay icon is gone from iTunes. any suggestions?

If anyone would like to know how to fix this, I discovered the answer.
I have no idea what IPv6 is and I care not, but apparently now, all of a sudden, Apple makes iTunes talk to Airport Express units using IPv6. However, it didnt bother to make the Airport Express units expect this first, so iTunes can see the Airport Express, but it cant talk to it.
Anyway, I found that you have to manually go into your Mac settings (scary stuff if you are a non technical person like me) and turn off IPv6.
To do this, go to "Finder > Go > Utilities > Terminal"
type
networksetup -setv6off Wi-Fi (hit enter)
Then type
networksetup -setv6off Ethernet (hit enter)
and magically your iTunes will talk to your Airport Express units again.
I presume at some point we will have to undo this as technology moves on and everything uses IPv6, so when that happens go into Terminal again and type
networksetup -setv6automatic Wi-Fi (hit enter)
Then type
networksetup -setv6automatic (hit enter)
Thanks Apple for that.

Double NAT error status after updating to firmware 7.1

This may be a bug. My Airport Extreme was working perfectly, but after updating to firmware 7.1, with no other changes to configuration, it is now reporting a Double NAT error. Both wired and wireless clients still have access to the WAN and each other, so everything still works. I know I can ignore the error, but I wonder if anyone else has seen this issue?
I have a possibly unusual setup -
My DSL modem creates an address of 192.168.1.47 and hands that to the APE as its WAN address. I've configured the APE to hand out addresses to its client machines on the LAN in the 192.168.2.x range and it does that correctly. So there is no actual conflict - the WAN address is 192.168.1.47 and the client addresses are all in the 192.168.2.x range. Could the new software be assuming that the 192.168.1.x range is the NAT range without verifying the actual range is really 192.168.2.x? Seems unlikely, but it appears to be the case.
Any insights on this appreciated....
mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.9) my Airport Extreme is less than a month old

When iTunes attempts to sync photos from iPhoto, it shows the amount of the iPod drive taken up with photos, BUT NO usage on the drive graph itself.
When Sync Photos from iPhoto is deselected and another sync attempted, iTunes asks if photos should be removed from iPod, despite the previous sync being unsuccessful. When I choose to remove the photos, the amount shown taken up by photos disappears.
Does anyone know what the error message quoted in my question above means?

I find Mail under Mavericks to be weird. Are others having this same/similar difficulty? "Upgraded" to Mavericks last week, after updating the firmware to my WD external HD.

"Weird" needs further explanation.
Google's highly nonstandard IMAP implementation is weird, if you're using Gmail, though Apple bent over backwards to accomodate it. Other than that, what do you mean by "weird"?

Can't access internet after updating to firmware 7.3.1

After updating to firmware version 7.3.1, I lost the ability to access the internet. The AEBS thinks it has an internet connection (the light is green), but it does not. I have tried restarting the AEBS and my cable modem router.
I had the same problem with firmware version 7.2.1, and had to revert to 7.1.1.
I'd like to find a solution so that I can make use of Airdisk and Time Capsule.

Same here: 7.1.1 works but 7.2.1 & 7.3.1 do not with the same symptoms.
In fact there are now several threads reporting the same loss of internet connectivity. Happily reverting to 7.1.1 restores connectivity.

Contacts sort order after updating to firmware 051...

I am just after updating my E52 with 051.018 Firmware. Before firmware update I done my contacts like this: 01 Val, 02 John, 03 Dad etc... so that when I selected contacts the numbers I most used/dialled come up at the top of the list but now after updating my firmware the contacts at the top of the list are those starting with A - I have tried going into settings and choosing the order of first name last name but its still the same. I suppose a workaround would be to edit my contacts so that 01 Val becomes AA Val and 02 john becomes AB John but I would really like to keep them as before I updated the firmware if anyone knows a solution. Many thanks,
Andy.

The problem was solved. It apparently had to do with DNS server settings. I subscribe to Unblock-US here in Canada, and that messed up communication between the Bravia and the Sony servers. I have my DNS settings set on the router level, so what I had to is to simply bypass the router settings by setting new DNS addresses on the Bravia itself. I used the Google DNS for the Bravia:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
Of course, with this configuration, I can no longer access US content on my Netflix on the Bravia television. What I find strange is that this was never a problem prior to the update, so I guess Sony is locking down on geoblocking with this latest update.

Camera problems after updating 8100 Firmware to v4.5

Hi All
This is a known issue to me as I update all our work handsets with Blackberry firmware for the company I work for.
After updating the firmware on several handsets to the latest 4.5 version of the Blackberry 8100 there is a problem with the camera.
When you are in view mode and outside (even whilst overcast) the screen goes white as if the aperture for the lens is open wide.
Even when you take the picture the result is whiteness everywhere.
Please see examples here:
http://www.imagedump.com/index.cgi?pick=get&tp=540100
and
http://www.imagedump.com/index.cgi?pick=get&tp=540101
Both of these pictures were taken indoors with just flourescent lights on.
However if I return the firmware to a lower level the problem no longer exists.
I have tried changing the white Balance settings on the handset and no matter which setting I put it on the same results occure.
I was wondering if there is a patch or do I have to wait for the next version for a bug fix?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Solved!

Upgraded the handset software to 4.5.0.55 and the camera problem no longer exists.
Can I get Kudos for solving the problem myself?? LOL

Not Able To Print w/ Lexmark X2600 After Recent Airport Firmware Update

Hi,
So, after the recent firmware update for the Airport Extreme (802.11n), I can no longer print to my printer share. The device is recognized in Bonjour, and I use the correct driver as I did before, but when I send something to the printer, it just reads:
"Connecting to MyNetwork.local...
There is a problem communicating with the printer. Make sure the printer is powered on and connected to the computer. Delete or hold the job and try again."
Now, if I connect the printer directly to my computer and set it up with the same drivers over USB, it works just fine. Can I get some support on this?

Hi,
Have you tried this?
To change the printer’s network settings:
1. Open the printer's embedded Web server.
2. Click the Networking tab. For wireless settings, click Wireless. For IP settings, click IP
Configuration.
3. Change the printer's settings to match the settings of the network, then click Finish.
4. Close the printer's EWS, then disconnect the Ethernet cable from the printer.
5. The control panel lights will cycle.
The previous procedure is from the Wireless Printer User Guide for your printer.
Best regards,
erico

Problems re-connecting my PSP to Network, after updating to firmware 1.33NA on my D-Link DIR-655

Hi everyone,
Here is the 411 about my network
Your Network Magic Version installed= : 5.5.9195.0-Pure0
The type of connection to the Internet, like DSL, Cable, or Verizon FIOS Internet Connection: = Comcast Cable 20K up / 5K down
The Brand of Modem and its Model Number the router is connected to:   cable modem = ARRIS: TM602G/CT
The Brand, Model, Hardware Revision of your Router and include the Firmware Version:=   Router = D-LINK DIR-655 A3 Firmware (rev.1.33NA)
The Method of connection your problem computer has to the Router: Wired or Wireless: Wireless
The Connection in use on the problem computer: Wireless g/b/a on PSP
Operating system and version and Service Pack Level, N/A      Also if any Anti-Virus Program or Spyware Program is actively protecting your computer.
Include your location in the post or fill out your Profile for this forum and include the location. (Reason: Not all Routers from a given manufacturer are available everywhere.)    (Camden County)  Southern NJ, USA
Post the link to your Router Model, http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=530
And any other information you think is important if answering your own post, and the nature of the problem, itself.
I have had a full functioning network with D-Link DIR655 hardware Rev A3 firmware rev 1.33NA,
with 5 PC's Dell XPS 730x, Alienware m17x, Studio 1747,Studio 1749(touchscreen) Studio, 14z all using Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit, and one Macbook Pro 17", Plus a Dell mini 9 hackintosh( I did purchase Retail10.5.4 and I placed the Apple stickers over the Dell logo.[ also have a PS#, and PSP 3000 (both have latest Sony firmware updates.]
All PC's with Win7 Pro x64,'s are connected using Network Magic Pro 5.5 pure-0, with the exception of the Macbook pro OS X 10.7 and hackintosh Mac X10.5.8  which both use the Mac version 4 network pro (Ver. for mac os x.) of which I bought a 3 pack, (To have them work with NWM 5.5 Pro, & share both files, and printers with the windows PC's)
Everything was working great until I updated the firmware on my DIR-655 from 1.2NA to 1.33NA.
Since then I have been unable to reconnect my PSP to the network. using WPA 2 security, which is what I had before the firmware update. If it wasn't for the security additions, this firmware upgrade adds to the router, I would have gone back to the previos version.
Here is what I've done in attempts to fix, and then my final solution.
In Network Magic 5.5, I have tried shutting off the network protection feature, and I also re-added the MAC Address, of the PSP to the Router's list of allowable hardware, when I added my list of all the others..
The PSP will start the handshake with the router, and then pause at the getting IP address screen, and finally timeout.
I is showing up on the Network Magic 5.5 Pro's Network Map area, which leads me to believe it is being seen and let in by the software's security feature.
I also tried to manually add an IP address, for the PSP, using the IP addy, it always seems to grab via DHCP [192.168.7.172] only to have it timeout the same way as it did before, with DHCP
As I needed Internet access to update the PSP and make purchases from the PSN, I decided to connect my older Linksys WRT54G (HW Ver 5) Ver.1.02.8 (I'm considering the DD-WRT firmware for all it's improvements) to the DIR-655 with a CAT 6 cable. Network magic see's this router, as I added it's MAC address to the D-Link MAC filter first.
I was able to use WPA Security with this router and the PSP connected without any problem.
I thought maybe something was wrong with the PSP-3000, but I'm able to connect to a friends Belkin router
, using WPA 2
I setup the WRT54G using the studio 14z, as it's the lightest of my portables, with windows on it.
Should I add Network Magic 5.5 to the network that is my Router & PSP?
[I have a older thinkpad, that runs Windows XP SP3, which has just been sitting around, and my NWM 5.5
license is for 8 PC's and 3 Macintosh Computers.
Thanks in advance.
Regards in getting my network correctly secured once again,
DakotaJoe

I hate being the bearer of bad news, but from what I have read on the Forum and FAQ, you will need to un-install Network Magic from all of your computers making sure that no NM settings folders are left behind under users. Then unplug all wired computers and rebuild your network by re-installing NM in each computer before connecting it to your router. After you have added all of your wired computers, set up your wireless network and install NM and add each wireless computer.
That is a lot of work. I hope this helps.

IMac G3 won't boot after updating the firmware and upgrading the OS!

Hi! Everyone,
I have an iMac G3 333MHz (five flavors) which comes with 192MB of RAM and 6GB of hard drive. Originally, it was OS 8.5.1 installed, later upgraded to OS 9.2.2. Of course, the firmware has been updated by the appropriate method provided by the on-screen instructions before the installation of 9.2.2. After successfully updating the firmware and installing Mac OS 9.2.2, the system booted up and worked fine. However, after shutting it down and powering it up a few days later, I have encountered a critical problem:
1. At first, the iMac would chime and displayed a smiley-mac finder face.
2. No question mark appeared and the system halted because it stayed at the same screen for about 5 minutes! Also, the keyboard wouldn't respond. For instance, the LED signal light wouldn't light on when Caps Lock was pressed.
3. I assumed that this is just a typical crash and rebooted the machine via the "reset" button on the right side of the machine.
4. After restarting, well, no luck, the same condition. Therefore, I rebooted it again by using the method mentioned above.
5. The condition of sticking at the smiley-mac finder face occurred again! However, this time the iMac wouldn't chime and just displayed the mac face.
6. Another restart, well, it was getting worse... no chime and no smiley-mac finder face but a white screen.
7. I was frustrated then and shut the machine down forcefully by rebooting it again and pressing on the power bottom quickly before the screen appears. Also, I unplugged the power cord.
---------- After a few hours later ----------
8. Okay, I then plugged the power cord in and booted it up again, this time, it would chime but stuck at the white screen. => No smiley-mac finder face appeared!
9. Rebooted it again, the result was as same as step 8.
10. Another restart, the smiley-mac face finally appeared but still... stuck here and this time, no chime.
11. I then shut the machine forcefully by using the method mentioned above and let the machine rest for about a day with the power cord unplugged.
---------- After resting for a day ----------
12. I booted it up and it would chime, but no screen (the power button was orange, not green). I then forcefully shut down the machine.
13. Waited for about a minute and powered it up. This time, I tried to clear the PRAM, but no chime and gave me a white screen. => No luck! As mentioned, the keyboard's LED signal light wouldn't light on even though the Caps Lock key has been pressed.
*Note: The keyboard has been tested on the other computers and it worked. Also, I tried different USB ports to plug the keyboard in. => The USB ports were all in working condition， as I can know from the last successful start up.
14. Forcefully shut the machine down and tried to enter the Open firmware, no luck. It didn't enter and gave my a white screen.
15. Conclusion:
1) After resting for a while, the iMac would chime.
2) Rebooting too much times would cause the machine not to chime and leaded the screen to become white instead of the smiley-mac finder face.
3) However, rebooted the machine when the screen became white, the smiley-mac finder face would appear again without chime.
By the way, I could hear the hard disk spinning up so that means the hard disk is working.
Can anyone help me solve this problem? Is it related to the firmware update? Any suggestions will be appreciated! Thanks!
Andy

OK, I will try replacing the PRAM battery. Also, the PowerMac G3 and the other iMac 233MHz had the dead batteries. They are still working though... Should I replace them along with the iMac 333MHz? In case of not replacing, will they malfunction in future times? There are some symptoms on this two machines: 1. iMac 233MHz - No chime and no sound when adjusting system volume (the bi sound is not available), but iTunes and other applications can still use the audio device and output the sound via internal speakers; 2. PowerMac G3 450MHz - Will chime but sometimes hard to boot: 1) Chime but no screen; 2) No respond after pressing the power button => the power signal light won't light on. Every time I experienced this, I would open its case, pressing a small button (not quite understand what it does... anyway, just works if system halted.) near the PRAM battery and wait for about a minute, then close the case, and it boots. However, I have to reset "Date & Time"...

T510 cannot hibernate after update ssd firmware

Recently installed crucial m4 ssd for my T510. reinstalled windows using recovery cd and ubuntu 12.10. The machine was working fine.
After update the curcial firmware tfrom 00F o 010G I couldn't hibernate. The screen turns to black with all indicator on. Once move the mouse the screen turns back. I checked the power setting in Windows or lenovo power management, there is no problem. Yet I don't see other people having the same issue so I just want to check if y anyone using T510 with ssd have similar problems.
I also installed a Mountain lion skin pack which renders windows into a mac but I guess that wouldn't matter for system function, at least not as much as the boot is now handled by linux's grub.
Thank you guys!!

To eject the CD, restart your mac and hold down the mouse button. If you don't have a mouse, hold down the eject button while restarting.
Before you do that, find the original DVD that came with your MB Pro. If you can get the boot DVD in the slot in time, hold down the C key to boot from the DVD, as soon as the DVD starts to spin, hold down the option key. Then you can choose to run the disk utility or boot into the Hardware Test.
Good Luck.

Woes After Updating E71 Firmware from 100.07.76 to...

I have owned Nokias for years and have had no issues updating firmware on the E60 then on the E51, but the E71-2 (NAM) is a terribly different story!
(1) First, I backed up via "Tools/Memory/Back-up phone memory," then a few minutes later backed up again via PC Suite; updated all necessary software on the PC; then used NSU via PC Suite to update the firmware. That went smoothly, but when I tried to restore from the memory card, lo and behold, there is no longer an option on the E71 to restore from the memory card! Is this intentional?
(2) When I then connected to PC Suite Backup, the only Restore options are "User files from the phone memory" and "Settings". I ran the restore, and no calendar, contact, etc. data was restored and none of the basic carrier settings were restored.
(3) All but one of my bluetooth devices are no longer recognized by the phone.
(4) Programs I had on the phone are gone, and several long-time programs won't reinstall or install fresh -- most notably Opera Mini. As to Opera Mini, I have tried the version I had on my E71 before the update, as well as older and newer versions, both via my PC and from opera.com. Every time, I get an error message "Cannot install."
(5) Speaking of "Cannot install," several dictionaries and other apps I had on the phone go through installation until about 80% of the progress bar is filled, and then pop up "Cannot install."
Has anyone else been having these issues? I searched and found several problems mentioned, but I couldn't find mention of the lack of a Restore option or the reinstallation problems.

Sad to hear that you are having problems with the firmware update wocius, me personally I have had no problems with the 200 update and I do believe my phone is actually working better than it did with the 110 update which I felt gave me more problems (no switching to wifi when at home using smartconnect and easy wifi, programs not installed properly after restore, messages missing after restore, a large number of restarts). I actually had to do the 110 firmware update about 3 times before I was satisfied with the results. My only suggestion is to redo the firmware update and hopefully it fixes it up alright.

Crashing after update to firmware v400.21.013 for ...

I'm using nokia E71 and I just update to firmware v400.21.013. Now it keeps report error and I can't connect to pc suite. After I download and install one software to MMC, I lost everything. Can I re-install the original firmware back? Please anyone can help. Thanks alot.

You can always reinstall the latest firmware. Reset the E71 after update. Dial *#7370# 12345 reformat, you'll lose all data. Make a backup first and restore without the settings. Just don't install programs or applications on the memorycard. Insert the card IN the phone and NOT on a PC or Mac to format. Remove the card by pressing the red button and choose remove card from the dialog option. If you insert the card later you should hear a short bleep.

After update airport interface doesn't work when security is enabled

Hi all.
After update of Leopard to v.10.5.2 wireless stop working. As I discovered wireless without security are working, but when I apply any secure methods (wpa,wpa2,wep) airport adapter can't connect to router though I can see available networks. My wireless router is ZyXel p-600 series (P660HTW2EE). I installed last update of airport. Nothing changes.
1) Any idea about how to resolve the trouble?
2) How could I see detailed log of airport about troubles during connections?
3) Where are located config files which save passwords and other settings for wi-fi networks?
Thanks a lot in advance.

I would delete your network password.
Use spotlight or, go to the Utility folder and open "*Keychain Access*" ---> look in the "System" tab and delete the network password for your network.
Let me know if it does not work.
