Only one wireless connection at a time....Please Help

Since updating to 10.4.9 I can only connect one computer wirelessly at a time....when I had 10.4.8 on all three laptops ther were no wireless problems at all...Is there anyone else with this problem?

Okay, so when one computer is using the 802.11 band, no other computers can establish a media-level connection. Is that correct? In essence, the one connection locks out everything else. The MAC addresses of the other computers are not in the arp cache of the Actiontec, because they are not able to communicate via 802.11. The Multiplexing has gone from OFDM.
This is a weird one. I think I was wrong about the configuration. As odd as it sounds, it must be something with 10.4.9. I think when you rolled back to 10.4.8 you must have retained the Airport2 kext. If you get info on /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAirPort2.kext it should be 4.0.4, I think. 4.0.5 is in 10.4.9. Further granularity can be seen if you enter this in Terminal:
$kextstat | grep -i airport
I get this:
81 0 0x735000 0x69000 0x68000 com.apple.iokit.AppleAirPort2 (405.1) <37 16 11 2>
which says its AppleAirPort2 version 4.0.5.1 If you use pacifist and the 10.4.8 install disk you can get your original one back.
Lots of people have reported problems with 10.4.9 and Airport. But yours is a doozy.

Suddenly only one computer connects at a time

I have an airport extreme. It's connected by ether to my cable modem unit. My desktop iMac runs it's online through the extreme....and then whenever I bring my work laptop home (Powerbook) it automatically joins my wireless network. It' worked this way for over a year.
The other night my server/internet provider went down. It was not my malfunction, it was the server company. But I didn't know it at first and I was trying to get it back up on my iMac. When I found out it was my server, I waited and later that night it came back up and everything was working. At least my iMac. I forget whether I tried out my laptop....I think I did, but I was packing to go out of town.
Now I've arrived back from out of town and I find that the iMac is connected and working to internet but the laptop is not. I do a diagnostics and restart the modem and the laptop is then online and working. But then my iMac upstairs is suddenly not online, but the laptop is. So it seems suddenly that I'm only able to get one of the computers onto the wireless network at a time. I could do the network diaganostics on the laptop again, which would tell me to restart the modem and then it would probably be working on the laptop, but as the pattern is showing I then suspect my desktop iMac would not be on again. Why are they connecting only exclusively to each other??? I had not problem prior to this.
Thanks,
James

Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon, then the Internet Connection tab
The setting for Connection Sharing is likely Bridge Mode.
It should be Share a public IP address.
Make the change and click Update
Then, it would be a good idea to restart the entire network in sequence. Power everything off then start the Modem first, then next device, etc.

Wireless Connection Issue Macbook Pro PLEASE HELP!

Hi
I got a brand new macbook pro 13' the other week, i installed everything etc and also my bt home hub 2 showed up in airport and it all worked fine no problem no matter where i was in the house.
Yesterday i tried to get on the Internet on the bottom floor and my router is on the 3rd floor and it won't connect to my Internet, it asked for the access key and then i get timed out message and then a message abut its the wrong key, out of range etc. I then go to the room with the router in or on the same floor and it connects and works fine, but soon as i move downstairs it does'nt work as it did before.
Ive reset the router, changed router channels to all of them, changed it to G, N etc and still no joy, also tried WEP and still no joy
Is this an issue with my mac or my router, my mac and router are n power why is suddenly not reaching the bottom floor when it did no problem before.
Please help

Macbook Pro and BT Homehub4. Looked for help here but did not find it, however, solved the problem by chance as below.
Problem - having recently installed Homehub4 Macbook was persistently refused access to the hub on the grounds that a password was required and the one keyed in was incorrect. An older iMac upstairs was fine - this was the one set up by the engineer when installing. Signal strength was at full.
Solution - found by chance that the Macbook worked ok from another room and concluded that the signal strength was just too high in the original position. By placing a biscuit tin in front of the hub the signal is sufficiently attenuated to work in the original room, and is still good enough to use the upstairs machine too.
So signal is too strong! I call that counterintuitive and I bet no help desk would think of it.
Regards, John.

AirPort Express, only one device connected at a time.

I was setting up my uncles Airport Express yesterdy and got everything set up and the wifi signal broadcasting properly. It was then time to set up his iPad. I used a windows computer to set up the iPad and everything was going fine. After the iPad was running and I connected it to the network, I would lose the signal from the PC. From that point forward I would only be able to access the internet on the PC when the iPad's wifi was turned off.
I have had this problem with other routers before but was never able to figure out the problem. Is there something that I am missing? any help would be appreciated. I set the netork up with the default settings and set up a password to the network that has been entered correctly on both machines. Any help will be appreciated.

How do you have your Airport Express setup?
On the Internet tab, what do you have for "Connection Sharing" ?
Off (Bridge Mode) ?
Share a public IP address ?
Other ?
Is your modem from your Internet provider just a modem, or a router, or a wireless router ????
More info is needed.

Two Macs - only one can connect to Airport at a time

Starting today, after 10 days of successful operation, when I came home I couldn't connect to my home (new "square" Airport Extreme) network with my Core 2 MacBook Pro. My wife was happily connected on her PowerBook G4.
Puzzled, I tried a few obvious things:
Airport OFF, Airport ON ... no joy
Logout and back in ... no joy
Restart ... no joy
Then I turned my attention to the Base Station:
Restart ... nope
Change to "None" security ... nope
Change back to "WPA Personal" ... nope
Humbled, I stopped and had dinner. My wife's G4 went to sleep, my Intel went to sleep. Now it gets interersting! My Intel woke up first and immediately joined the network -- I'm happy till I hear my wife say SHE can't get connected.
To make a long story short, I have two laptops on my desk, and only one can connect at a time! This is BIZARRE. Turn off Airport on either one and its buddy gets a connection immediately, and vice versa. Sleep the connected one and the other connects.
I am out of ideas.
Errors on the G4:
Feb 28 20:09:45 localhost configd[35]: WirelessConfigure: 88001003
Errors on the MBPro:
various 88001006 errors as reported by others in this forum.
Both Machines at all the latest updates; the MBPro has the new Extreme software installed from the CD that came with the new hardware.
I would welcome suggestions ...
MacBook Pro Core 2 Mac OS X (10.4.8)
G4 Cube Mac OS X (10.4)

Software Update is not offering me any Airport updates on the G4 (or the Intel).
The recent Airport Update, "AirPort Extreme Update 2007-001", is of course only for Intel Macs.
They could only be "trying to use the same IP address" if they were not configured to use DHCP, but they are configured to use DHCP, and whichever connects does get an address in the 10.0.1.[2-200] range so I think that's not the problem.

Do you mean that there are several wireless networks within range, and you don't want it switching between them?

Good day Sidharth Namrta,
It sounds like you are unable to make any calls, but you can recieve them, and everything else seems to work fine. I recommend you use the troubleshooting in the following article to help you get that resolved, named:
iPhone: Troubleshooting issues making or receiving calls
Follow the steps below to resolve this issue. Please test after each step.
Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings > Enable Airplane Mode, wait five seconds, then turn off airplane mode.
Check your phone settings:
Check your Do Not Disturb settings: Tap Settings > Do Not Disturb.
Check for any blocked phone numbers: Tap Settings > Phone > Blocked.
See if Call Forwarding is turned on: Tap Settings > Phone > Call Forwarding.
Ensure that your software is up to date:
Check for a carrier settings update.
Check for an iOS software update.
Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
If the iPhone has a SIM card, reseat the SIM card.
If the iPhone 4 or iPhone 4s is on the Verizon network, dial *228 from the iPhone and select option 2 to update the Preferred Roaming List (PRL). The PRL determines the cellular towers the phone uses for cellular service, selecting those with the best signal strength.
Reset the network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Try to make or receive calls in another location.
Attempt to isolate to one network band:
If you're having the issue on LTE, disable LTE, if possible, and try again.
If you're having the issue on 3G/4G, disable 3G/4G, if possible, and try again.
Contact the carrier to check the following:
Your account is properly configured to use the specific iPhone that has the issue.
There are no localized service outages.
Your account doesn't have a billing-related block.
Your calls don't have errors on the carrier system.
Restore the phone as new.
If the above steps don't resolve the issue, go to an Apple Retail Store, carrier, Apple Authorized Reseller, or contact AppleCare to send the phone in for service.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

How to say application module(s) to consume only one DB connection

Hi,
In my application, i use UI Shell template. All of my task flows are said to have new transaction always and not to share the data control. i have bunch of application modules (not nested AM) with many view objects. All the view objects are custom java data source implemented and none of them requires DB connection as they interact with DB using tuxedo connection. Expected concurrent users will be around 800.
i can understand that application module requires DB connection for activation/passivation, but how can i say all of my application modules to consume only one DB connection??
Thanks in advance.
Raghuraman

Jobinesh,
My application is based on UI tab shell template with each and every task flow set to begin with new transaction always.
I was using database tables for LOV view objects data population alone. Now that also has been changed to custom view data source implementation because of client requirement (LOV data needs to be cached till user-browser session)
With the new implementation,
1. I have some AMs with instances of entity driven VOs. With this, I do transaction with legacy system through Tuxedo. Custom view data source implementation is done to populate data from service. Similarly Update to service will happen by reading transaction listener list on save.
2. I also have couple of AMs with instances of non entity-driven VOs, which will be used as read-only table/LOV. For this also custom view data source implementation is done by reading the reference database table only one time during deployment.
3. As of now, none of my AMs are specified as Shared AM.
Questions:
1. I want to utilize the AM passivation/activation feature to control memory usage. I came to know "*The passivation process saves information used by the AM into the passivation store - usually a database*". I have a database, from where i am reading data for LOV during deployment. Can i have the single connection of that database configured for all the AMs (Both tuxedo transaction VO's AM and LOV VO's AM) so that i can avail this feature. If so, how can i configure all the AMs to consume only one connection?
2. Any other way to avail this AM passivation/activation without database.
Thanks in advance.

If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
First, test your iPad on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

HELP! - An iPad can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time....

I had to reinstall Windows 7. After that I reinstalled iTunes. I went to sync my iPad and it says "An iPad can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. What would you like to do". I really don't want to lose ANYTHING on my iPad. Please tell me how to sync the data on the iPad to iTunes so I don't lose anything.
Thank you!

One of the three choices is "cancel" - just click that.

Need to Resume download to complete the ongoing Process.
Last Resort, put the iPhone in DFU mode (Google How to do that). Connect in iTunes. Follow on-screen prompts to Restore. All Data would be lost, if not backed up earlier.
To save the photographs you may have to use third party software. Google is your friend.
