No contact with my Airport...

Has anyone lost contact with their airport extreme and been unable to re-establish it? For some reason I lost connectivivity this am and have been unable to regain it. I have tried both a soft and hard restart of the airport with no resolve. Beyond that I only have a single (middle) light that illuminates and remains lit without blinking as it says in the manual it will do if and when you restart. Any advise?

Try going to airport administrator utility, choosing base station from the menu. Choose reconfigure and then hit the restart button. If the base station's name doesn't show up on the list, unplug the base station power and plug it in again. This has always worked for me, and I have to do it alot! Something about the airport is just not stable. I just switched from a netgear wireless router for reasons that I now regret. The netgear worked better in every way. For about 20% of the cost.

My airport is turned itself off and lose contact with my wifi router, trying to turn it on again will not work, I have to restart my Mac for it to work again, but after 5 minutes, the problem is to go back again.

Help setting up Open DNS with new airport extreme

I cant seem to get Open DNS to work with a new airport extreme. The status says I am not using Open DNS and its not filtering anything. I have followed the exact steps for set up listed on their website, checked the dns settings, cleared both caches and restarted the computer, modem and router with no success. I set the airport up in bridged mode, although I tried the other option under setup, but not sure what I was doing? I picked up this router because I wanted easy set up and the apple store assured me it would work with Open DNS. Oh, and I also downloaded the latest firmware update on the router. Can anyone help me with the settings or what else I need to check?

Sorry, I am not familiar with this product, so I checked online to pick up some information. Here I am referring to the information found here:
http://www.dslreports.com/faq/6096
I found that your device is mentioned as follows in the intro under Section 1 of this document:
The BellSouth supplied Westell 2100, 2200 and 6100 models (Models A90-210030-04, B90-220030-04, and B90-610030-06/C90-610030-06, respectively) share many features and functions.
Next, I am referring to the information under Section 2, under the heading of Standard Default Mode Connection (separate hub or switch present). Unless you have changed the configuration on the Westell, this is how your device is operating. In this mode, the Westell device is acting both as a modem and router in one unit.
So, an attached router (AirPort Extreme) must be configured as a switch to work correctly. That is what Bridge Mode is....the AirPort Extreme is operating as a switch when it is in Bridge Mode (which would be the correct setting to use when the Westell is set to its Standard Default Mode).
Any changes that you want to make regarding DNS settings would need to be made on the Westell device, since it is acting as the main router on your network.
In Bridge Mode, the AirPort Extreme simply passes that information through to its connected devices. You will not be able to make any DNS related changes on the AirPort Extreme since it receives that info from the Westel device. Some service providers force you to use their DNS servers, so you might want to check with Bell South or AT&T for more information in this regard.
If you want to be able to configure the AirPort Extreme as the main router on your network, and instruct it to use the DNS information that you want, you will need to refer to the section under the heading of Bridged Ethernet Mode ( separate router present).
Please note that the first item under this heading specifies that "This is the preferred configuration when using a separate external router..." (which would be the AirPort Extreme in your case)
So, it appears to me that this would be the way that you must reconfigure the Westell device to allow the AirPort Extreme to function as the "main" router on your network. In this type of setup, you will be able to enter the DNS information that you want to use under the setup for the AirPort Extreme and it will act as you instruct.
The AirPort Extreme would not be configured in Bridge Mode for this....it would be configured to "Share a public IP address".
The next item in the article specifies that you "Must use a PPPoE client on the Router." This means that the AirPort Extreme would be configured to Connect Using = PPPoE as follows:
AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Click the Internet Connection tab
Connect Using = PPPoE
You would enter your user name (probably your email address), password, etc in this area. Leave the Service Area box completely blank. Set Connection to Always On, and Disconnect if Idle to Never
Click Update to save the new settings. Power off the Westell device after this and then restart it so that it will pick up the new information that you have programmed into the AirPort Extreme.
I want to stress that this is how I would try to configure the Westell and AirPort Extreme. But, as I said, have not used a Westell device, so I cannot say that this will work correctly for you.
It might be an excellent idea to contact Bell South or AT&T Support to ask for their opinion on this before you decide to change the configuration of the Westel device and the AirPort Extreme.
This type of thing can be intimidating for users, so you might elect to use the services of someone like the Geek Squad at Best Buy, or a similar service from a local computer firm. Perhaps the Apple store could help as well.
If it is not critical that you use Open DNS, you might want to simply leave things "as is", with the AirPort Extreme in Bridge Mode.

Problem with iBook Airport

I recently received an iBook version 10.4.11. The airport and wifi was working fine at first but after around 2 hours the airport stopped working for no particular reason. The computer recognizes that the airport is connected but the airport doesn't recognize any networks. It looks like the airport card is installed correctly but I am not completely sure. I'm beginning to think I may need a new airport card but I'm honestly don't know. If anyone could help me with this problem I would really appreciate it.

First, try completely shutting down the computer, then rebooting. This clears the caches, and most times will restore the functionality of your AE card. If that does not work you can shut down the wireless base station, disconnect the power, then reconnect and restart. Your third option would be to remove the Airport Extreme card, clean the contacts with a soft lint-free cloth, then replace and be sure it is securely seated.

Time machine has losing contact with my external drive, connected via a USB port.

Recently my Time Machine program has begun losing contact with my external drive, connected via a USB port. When I attempt to open Time Machine, it indicates there is no external hard drive. When I click on "setting up time machine" it opens airport utility. I've tried rebooting, run disk utility repairs for both hard discs, pulled and reconnected the USB cable, even completely shut down the system. Eventually the two re-establish contact, but I'm not certain what I've done that causes this. The lost contact appears to happen during the weekends. The external hard drive is a MJaxtor OneTouch 4. What should I be doing to solve this problem once and for all?

I use a little app named EasyFind - free at the App Store. It will allow you to search individual volumes or all volumes.
Download it and see if it will help.

Hi Guddan,
I created a RFC having a query which is taking a long time to execute. So i want to close RFC connection with portals which is via java connector(JCO) before that query and open the connction again after that query.
I guess i will need to understand your requirement a little more in detail, as i understand you have an RFC which has a query within to fetch some data and is taking a long time to do so. In the meantime you don't want to keep the connection open?
My question would be, Is the role of this RFC to only execute the query and fetch the data or does it do something else?
If it does other things and these are independent of the query execution, then you can span a parallel call within the RFC to execute the query and in the meantime the RFC does the other things (or vice versa) hence reducing the overall time taken.
If the sole purpose of this RFC is to execute the query, then you will not be able(i mean to say there is no simple and direct way of doing this) to close the connection after the Query is started and re-establish the connection after its execution, for a simple reason that - how will you know if the query has completed it's execution, so that you can establish the connection back.
Alternate solutions, make this a two way asynchronous call, 1) You invoke the RFC asynchronously and close the connection, the RFC in turn will execute the query and transfer the data to JCO via another RFC call.
If this needs to be a synchronous call, then you will need to optimize the query to its best.

Chen

I cloud isue with contacts with 1 apple id but multiple phones?

I have a few questions, grateful for help.
I have four iphones of various flavours. I have ios 5 on all. I have however only 1 apple id which is set to my itunes account as I want to control purchases with my store ID, but that id has been used on each phone.
I have set icloud to sync on all four - but that causes issues with too much information being downloaded to all devices, specifcally on contacts.
So here's my issues:
The set up for contacts with icloud means that unless you allow sync you can't edit them. BUT because they all have the same id everyone gets everyone elses' contacts too - which I don't want.
So - should I set up four separate apple id's one for each user?
Is this different from a store id? Because two of them are used by my kids and I don't want them to have my password for itunes purchases!
Confused - help gratefully received.

Unable to contact with support... No any way...

Hi all,
I have a very stupid situation... and it seems that this is hopeless.
I have my iPad since from several years and yesterday I had to buy (first time) an application on App Store.
So unfortunately to proceed I had to give a response to 2 security questions an my responses are not correct.
I did not have before the alternative e-mail address on my AppleID so I do not see the link to reset my security questions...
All in all I have to call the Apple Support. And this is the moment were the story begins... My situation is like this, I am from Poland, I have bought the iPad in Poland, now I am located in France (I work there currently). I do not speak french language on acceptable level to contact with french support by phone. No problem with English language for me. So I have decided to call the polish support - the easiest solution - but I am not able to do it, polish support number is special (00800 4411875) and I am not able to call it while being abroad....
So I have decided to choose the option that Apple Support will cal me, why not? Genial! But... I need to confirm the country to which the support will make the call... I cannot choose France because I will be switched to french support, also I cannot select Poland and give there my french mobile number...
So my last possibility was to contact with English support, but the story is exactly the same like with polish support...
Anyone can explain me what I can do in such situation? Because it is tragic, I know that Apple would like to be very user-friendly so everybody will be able to call their support center even if they do not understand the internet page, but for the moment, for my situation it is just a pain in...
After this I really loose my will to buy anything from Apple (I totally forgot about this app which originally I was going to buy...). Thanks...

I have referred your post to the hosts in the hope they will advise, perhaps directly. Hope it resolves your problem.

How do i connect my airport extreme with my airport express

how do i link my Airport Express with my Airport Extreme?

Hello Bob -
I have an Apple Extreme (5th Gen) and I have tried to extend my network with an Apple Express Model No. A1264 with the ethernet connection. It does not seem to work, and has crashed my network twice. When I did get it to work, the wireless crawled. When I took the AirPort Express off of the network the speed went back up.
Can this be done to extend the network, as I have the Extreme in the basement where the cable comes into the house, and I have two other floors that need wireless access. Any suggestions for this older model AirPort Express?
Thanks.

How do I use existing TM backup with upgraded Airport Extreme?

I replaced my old Airport Extreme with a dual-band Airport Extreme. I was previously using an external drive connected to the old AE for Time Machine backups. I now have everything set up, I can see the drive on the new AE in the Finder and select it in Time Machine preferences, but it doesn't show "Oldest Backup" "Latest Backup" information and I fear it's going to try to create a new backup when it runs. How can I get it to use and add to the existing backup?

No, it won't show that until a backup is done. See #B3 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).
and I fear it's going to try to create a new backup when it runs. How can I get it to use and add to the existing backup?
It should just do an incremental backup.

But, you need to know, backing-up that way is "iffy" and +*not supported by Apple.+* See [Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Airport.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
