Problems with getting WDS network to work - TimeCapsule + AirportExtreme

Hi There, Apologies if this has been answered somewhere else but I have searched and still havent managed to solve my problem.
I have a TC plugged into our cable modem which is broadcasting wirelessly fine. What I am trying to do is extend the network by using a Airport Extreme BaseStation in another room which has a PC computer plugged into the Airport Extreme via ethernet cable that (the PC doesn't have wireless capability).
so this is what I am trying to do:
Internet - (ethernet) - TimeCapsule - (wifi) - Airport Extreme - (ethernet) - PC
The Time Capsule is running version 7.4.2 software
The Airport Extreme is running version 5.7
What I have tried so far is to set the TC to "Participate in a WDS network" on channel 1 using WPA/WPA2 Personal passwords. In the WDS settings it is set to WDS main and I have allowed the Airport ID of the AE.
In the settings on the AEI have the wireless network name set to the same as the TC, I have the radio mode on 802.11g only (i have tried the others too but didn't seem to work). The wireless mode is set to Participate in WDS network, channel set to 1 and under WDS settings I have it set as WDS relay and the ID of the TC in WDS main settings.
The TC when i look at its set up occasionaly flashes up WDS error, all it says is The device is set up as WDS network but no other Apple Wireless devices were found.
Im really scratching my head on this one, Im not an expert on networks at all but normally configuring apple stuff has caused a lot less headaches that this.
Can anyone tell me if I am doing anything obviously wrong or any suggestions as to what I can do to get this working. (I personally blame the PC for not having wireless!!!)
Cheers
D

Welcome to the discussion area!
WDS can be tricky. Instead of setting up the second device as a relay, you might try setting it up as a remote. Normally, a relay is used between a base and a remote. Take a look at the excellent instructions previously posted by expert Tesserax as follows:

And you could also refer to Apple's instructions on pages 42-44 in the Designing AirPort Networks Guide

Hi, I have a problem with getting my apple Id working for me. It's been 2 months since it happened and Apple failed to act. I can tell my story proerly, but am not sure, you guys can help, so I just copy my message to them today, I am trying to get it across all the places around to pay their attention. This is a desperate move, so if you are not the right people to help me to get my message accross, may be you can advise where can I go.
Thank you, and sorry for the language.

I am sorry to say that, but your security makes my life miserable – it’s been 2 months since my Apple ID account got stuck, and since then I cannot update 37 applications (to date), i.e. most of my applications. Half of them I bought. I also paid for iCloud, and it is not working. I paid money and I am stuck with old applications and no iCloud. Your security *****. Your service ***** too. It took your service 1 month to finally understand why this happened to me, and it took me tens of emails to you and 3 hours of telephone conversation to find out the reason for my problem. And the problem is still not fixed. NOT FIXED. You just leave your customer – the one who paid you money and spent so much time with you trying to help you help me – and nothing. You tell me: “Vitas, Stick your stinky iphone in your *** and enjoy life, we do not care!” *************.
It is ******* outrageous, and you should know that, guys. Get into the ******* database and correct the bug. Get someone in the partners-telephone carriers company (it is Orange as carreer and Cellcom as seller of the phone) authorized to Identify me in personal encounter in one of the branches in Israel (where I live) and make sure it is really me, and get the ******* system accept my password and let me use my phone.
Otherwise **** off. None of my friends will get my advise to buy an iphone or any of apple products. And I think you should be very attentive to cases like this, guys. Do your work for the money we pay, or disappear. There are many others eager to take your place, and if the problem is not fixed I will eventually go to the others. My patience is lost, and as soon as I can afford another phone I will change it. AND I WILL TRY TO GIVE BAAAAAD PUBLICITY TO APPLE – I am threatening here, so ACT NOW.

Well, it seems waiting is not my strong suit..! I renamed a javascript file called recovery to sessionstore. This file was in the folder sessionstore-backups I had copied from mozilla 3 days ago, when my tabs were still in place. I replaced the sessionstore in mozilla's default folder with the renamed file and then started mozilla. And the tabs reappeared as they were 3 days ago!
So there goes the tab problem. But again when I started mozilla the window saying "a script has stopped responding" appeared, this time the script being: chrome//browser/contenttabbrowser.xml2542
If someone knows how to fix this and make firefox launch normally, please reply! Thank you

Just moved my email from Entourage to Mail. Having real problems with getting my signatures to work properly despite sending email as Rich Text.
When adding in a small company logo to the signature, PC's / windows computers only receive signature and logo as attachments.
I've tried all possible fixes I can find including getting a PC user to format the logo but no joy. Has anyone experienced this and any ideas on a fix gratefully received.

Send it as html so the signature is an image source URL

Problems with getting FM radio to work

I have just purchased a Nokia 5800 Xpress music and cannot get the FM radio to work. The headphones that came with the phone are HS 47 and work well with the music player but won't allow the FM radio to pick up a signal. Are they the correct ones for the radio or do I need to buy another type. If so please let me know the model number and where to buy.
Thanks
Paul

That is indeed strange that your phone won't pick up FM radio signal. Have you checked that the area you reside in is able to receive FM radio signals. If you have a stereo or other digital audio player / FM radio around, check that you can tune into the radio stations in your area first. Also check that any other set of headphones / earphones on your 5800XM and see if they work. If the music player still works in these headphones, but you are unable to pick up any signals for FM radio stations, there may be a hardware/software issue with your phone. This is because there are aerials inside every set of headphones/earphones that you buy these days. In which case, if it still does not work, a firmware update/reset of the phone may be in order, but try the other headphones angle first.
Get back to us on how it goes.

Problems with getting BB world to work :( Please help MME

Hi there So I've installed BB World onto my phone, but when I go onto it this is what happens;
1. 'Blackberry ID
App World requires the latest version of Blackberry ID.
Close or Update'
2. So I click update, then this is what it says;
' App World requires the latest version of Blackberry ID.'
'The software upgrade was interrupted. Please try again.'
'Close or Retry'
3. I press on retry multiple times, but nothing happens. So, I give up and press the escape button. Then this pops up;
'Blackberry ID installation failed. Please try again later. (80002)' So then I press 'OK' and it brings me back to the homescreen.
Please help me, I've been trying to search for a solution for two days all over the internet, but no luck.
Thanks, replies much appreciated.
Solved!

I deleted the AppWorld, did a bat pull (You said do a batt pull as the 2nd step if you look at your last post)
Yes, but step 1 was to remove AW, which, based on your question, you'd not yet done...so you'd not yet have been on to step 2...

Oh! So you'd proceeded before I had answered that question...OK...I think I'm understanding you now...

Problems with getting my Ipod Touch to work on my Sony Bravia or any TV

I am having problems with getting videos or movies to play on my Sony Bravia HDTV or any TV. I have a first generation Ipod Touch and I have the Apple AV Composite Cables and all I get is sound for both TV's that I tried. I read one post where some guy had a faulty Ipod that wouldn't work. Does anyone know how of something hidden or special that needs to be done or how did they fix the problem if they had the same one? Thank, ejcarlson

Check connection, if you have a case on your Ipod the connection may not be good enough.

Problem with getting iPod to work.

I'm having a problem with getting an iPod to connect to my computers. Also I can't even really get it to run. My brother gave it to me one or two years ago and it had these problems I just didn't think of the idea of going directly to Apple to figure it out. It's a 30 GB black iPod if that helps. When I plugged it in it showed the battery symbol. When I leave it for a while it shows the Apple symbol. Then it comes up with this: http://spirrwell.webatu.com/ipod.jpg If you can help thanks in advance!

I figured out that it was a hard drive problem so I'll find a fix if not I guess I'm screwed.

Problem with *serial no. profile* in work sheduling view of material master

Hi ! !
I am here with a problem with serial no. profile in work sheduling view of material master.
By mistake for some FHMI type ( PRODUCTION RESOURCE TOOLS )materials, serial no profile exist in 'work sheduling' view. Due to that we are facing problem in GRN.
when I am trying to remove that with MM02. i m getting a message as Serial numbers already assigned to this material
Please suggest how to remove serial no. profile.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
go to MMBE and check the Current Serial number...for FHMI type
and go to IQ02 and close the Serial number range at the Current number range...
Now you can assign this serial number range to another material type...
Thx

I have a problem with my iPhone 5 stopped working the sleep / power and simultaneously refused to obey the HOME button. I can not use either one or the other. I can not enable or disable the device, display lights up when you plug the charger. same display works fine as it is surprising. or maybe someone knows what is the reason for this? is there any way to solve this problem?

More than likely its a hardware issue, I have never encountered such a problem and best bet is to just go get it replaced. If you have insurance on your device apple will replace it as long as there was no water damage, if you dont have insurance they will charge $200 more or less. Hope you get it fixed

On Mail...
First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist

I still have problems with getting my website online. I have defined my server. Then I did the test and there was a connection via FTP. I put my files on the external server and there is a connection with the external server. But when I check to see my website online (with Firefox, Explorer, Chrome browser) I always get the message 'Forbidden, You don't have permission to access / on this server.' Can somebody help me please? I have to get my website online..Thank you!

Hello Els,
it's well known, that in all these cases you describe I'm not a friend of a detailed Troubleshooting (I see Nancy#s smile already).
To be able to be independent in all this things It is one of the reasons why I prefer an external FTP program. The difficulties with which you have to fight encourage me in this opinion, not least because we always search for experts, we don't charge a "jack of all trades".
To manage several websites or to upload my files and sometimes for the opposite way, for a necessary download from my server or to use a "a site-wide synch", I'm using FileZilla. It simply looks easier for me to keep track of all operations precisely and generate or reflect easily the desired tree structure.
Above all, FileZilla has a feature (translation from my German FileZilla) called "compare file list". Here it's possible to use file size or modification time as a criterion. There is also the possibility to "hide identical files", so that only these files which you want to redact remain visible.
And even if it means you have to install a new program, I am convinced that there is an advantage. Here is the link to get it and where you can read informations about how it works:
http://filezilla-project.org/ and http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Tutorial#Using_the_site_manager
Mac: Mac OS X (Use: Show additional download options)
http://filezilla-project.org/download.php
Of course, you also need all the access data to reach your server and for MIME issues, you should contact your web host/provider.
Good luck!

P.S.
Since I use two screens, the whole thing became even more comfortable.

Window 8 WiFi problem with Cisco wireless network

Anyone encounter a Windows 8 WiFi authentication problem with Cisco wireless network?
We are using WLC 5508, 7.2.111, and AP 3602i with WPA2.
Sent from Cisco Technical Support iPad App

This problem occurred with Soney, and Dell models. Lenovo with Windows 8 factory installed is working fine.
Won't make any difference as these laptop's wireless NIC cards are different.
Can you try with OPEN authentication. If the Sony and/or Dell laptop works, then you start cranking up the security and/or encryption settings until you break them.
I'm with Scott here: It's got to be a wireless NIC card driver.
As what George has stated, post the debug of the failed attempts.

Problem with getting resized image's bytes

I've got a problem with getting correct bytes of a newly resized image. The flow is that I retrive an image from the filesystem. Due to the fact that it is large I resize it to a 50x50px thumbnail. I can display this thumbnail in #benchmark1 (see code below). Unfortunately something's wrong with my imageToBytes funtion which returns reasonably small size of image but is totally useless - I can't make an image of it anymore so at #benchmark2 the application either crashes or keeps freezing. I saved this byte array on my disk and tried to preview under Windows how does it look but I got a message "Preview unavailabe". I did some digging in the Internet and I supposed that it's because I don't use any jpg or png encoders to save the file. Actually I think that it's not the case, as the bytes returned from method imageToBytes look weird - I cannot even make a new image of them and display it without any saving in memory.
                              byte[] bytes = FileHandler.readFile (
                                      FileHandler.PHOTOS_PATH, fileName);
                              Image img2 = Image.createImage (bytes, 0, bytes.length);
                              img2 = ImageHandler.getInstance ().resize (img2);
                                                //#benchmark1
                              bytes = ImageUtils.imageToBytes (img2);
                              img2 = Image.createImage (bytes, 0, bytes.length);
                                                //#benchmark2my imageToBytes function is as follows:
     public static byte[] imageToBytes (Image img)
          int[] imgRgbData = new int[img.getWidth () * img.getHeight ()];
          byte[] imageData = null;
          try
               img.getRGB (imgRgbData, 0, img.getWidth (), 0, 0, img.getWidth (),
                       img.getHeight ());
          catch (Exception e)
          ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream ();
          DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream (baos);
          try
               for (int i = 0; i < imgRgbData.length; i++)
                    dos.writeInt (imgRgbData);
               imageData = baos.toByteArray ();
               baos.close ();
               dos.close ();
          catch (Exception e)
          return imageData;
I've run totally out of any idea what's wrong, please help!
Edited by: crawlie on Jul 17, 2010 6:21 PM

Hey Crawlie,
Please note that simply writing int values into ByteArrayOutputStream will not suffice. Please have a look at the following conversion from int pixel value into byte[4]:
public static final byte[] intToByteArray(int value) {
        return new byte[] {
                (byte)(value >>> 24),
                (byte)(value >>> 16),
                (byte)(value >>> 8),
                (byte)value
}Good Luck!
Daniel
