Request for "Bridge mode" after firmware update

Since updating the firmware on my Extreme the amber light continues to flash, although I appear to have normal internet connection. When I check with the Airport set-up utility I am told that there is a problem and I should select "bridge mode". Can anyone talk me through how to do this?

Given that your AEBS is in series with another router (your Linksys), you should use Airport Utility -> Internet panel to set Connection sharing: Off (Bridge mode). This will accomplish two things:
1) The annoying yellow LED will turn green.
2) Any clients wired into the AEBS LAN ports as well as all your wireless clients will now be on the same private LAN segment as all the clients plugged in to the Linsksy. As Martha would say, its a good thing.
You will, of course, still have Internet access but you will gain easy access to othe machines on the wired network for file sharing, Bonjour printers. You can check that this has occurred by displaying your IP address now (Network Preferences -> Airport -> TCP/IP panel vs what you see after you turn on Bridge Mode and reestablish the wireless connection. The IP address numbers will change.

X576dw requesting password on LCD after firmware update

The x576dw had a message on the lcd updates available. Once done it says password required or restricted rights apply (something along those lines).
We never set a password in the device, is there a default password? I tried 0000 and 1234

You think you're gonna get an answer if you start like this? Remember this is a users forem.
How did you remove the memory card?

Restoring after firmware update - Ways :)

Hi All,
Nowadays we are receiving quite a few complaints that customers are unable to restore the application after updating their firmware. I would like all to discuss to come up with some ways to restore their applications after firmware update.
Before updating firmware
Customer can backup his phone using Nokia PC Suite's Content Copier application.
He can store his Contacts and Messages using Nokia Communication Centre as .csv file or .txt file.
For his Contacts he can sync with pc suite supported sync applications.
Messages he can store in Memory card and he can make a backup of memory card in PC.
If he is using Nokia PC Suite for his Multimedia items he can use Image Store if he is using Nokia PC Suite or Nokia Photos if he is using Nokia OVI Suite.
For Music he can use Nokia Music Manager or Nokia Music.
Once after updating his firmware, if he is unable to restore he can get those from above said applications.
If his calendar entries are not restored(as in case of some of Nokia e 71s and Nokia N 95/95 8 GBs), for God's sake if he has got one more similar device(or device having switch application on phone), he can restore the backup file to another phone having switch application, then he can transfer his data (Contacts, Calenders etc ) to his original phone
Dear Forum members, if you have got any other work around please let me know regarding the same, which will help our customers

Hi,
If you have issue in Nokia PC Suites, [subject to your phone's compatibility with Nokia OVI Suite 2.0.0.10 ],
you can install Nokia OVI Suite 2.0.0.10 and check if you can take backup and restore it later.
Also i would suggest to use USB for taking backup, since it will be faster than Bluetooth. Also you can select one category at one time(say backup contacts alone, then Calendar, then messages etc and so on ....)
Its better to skip memory card backup while backup-ing other Phone data for faster backup. Memory card backup can be done separtely(since it wont be affetcted while updating firmware, users can safely remove memory card while updating firmware)
Nowadays though recent phones has got UDP(User Data Prevention i.e., even if you update your phone's firmware, your data wont get erased ), still it is recommended to backup your phone data.
Hope this could help
I welcome our experts to add more details related to this topic.

Problems after firmware update 52.0.007

Hi,
I got my phone back after the shop fixed a problem and updated the firmware to the latest version 52.0.007.
But now I have following problems:
I can't get the calendar anymore to show up on the homescreen, even after checking the checkbox to do so
The Radio app. is gone
Does anyone has a solution for this?
Iwan

It may sound crazy but sometimes you need to "hard reset" device after firmware update (beware all data erased) by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by yourself). Sometimes UDP = User Data Prersevation feature of 5800XM can carry over corrupt entries when updating.

Ovi Maps 3 don´t start after firmware update (6220...

Hello!
a few days ago I installed ovi maps 3 on my nokia 6220c and it works well. Later I updated the firmware from version 03.06 to 05.15.
After firmware update ovi maps don´t start-> "Cannot open application. Install latest version from nokia.com/maps."
But Nokia Map Updater says, there are no updates for my maps.
What´s wrong?
Can I reinstall Ovi Maps 3? Or is it possible to install Ovi Maps 3 new?
thanks

Hello!
The Map Updater said: "there is no update for your phone" ...because maps 3 is already installed.
But in the meantime I have found a solution!!
I downloaded maps 2.0 from the German nokia page and installed it. Later I started Map Updater and could update to Maps 3 and now it works!!!
I think the problem was: I first updated to Maps 3 and later updated the firmware. There was any older version of fixes included in the firmware update, so Maps 3 was damaged...
thanks
sorry for my bad English

Today, (Kernel 3.10.5-1, VMware Player version 5.02 with kernel patches) the modules could successful be generated from the CLI:
vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
Solved (somehow).

After Firmware update for my 5th gen ipod computer no loger recognizes ipod

I updated the firmware for my ipod (a pop up informed my after connecting my ipod that a firmware update was available) waited 20-30 minutes my ipod stayed lit with the "do not disconnect screen" After it rebooted itself -accordingly to part of the update's description. THe ipod never showed up on the ipod dock again nor on my computer's desktop. There are no longer any ipod tab is missing in the itunes prefs as well. I went to disk util -NOTHING- My computer no longer recognizes the ipod -not even as a generic drive. Ive tried different usb ports no dice. Tried the reset on my ipod, tried rebooting my computer several times. I am running the latest version of Itunes 7.01. I purchased my ipod and computer around (last April or May). HELP!

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

Lock Code request after firmware update on E71

After I updated successful (message was displayed by software updater) my phone, it makes a restart.
And asked for the "Lock Code". I never used the lock code function and I never changed it before.
The default Lock Code "12345" mentioned within the documentation is not working.
Re-installation of the firmware is not working as I am unable to reinstall "PC Suite Support" due to the fact that I am not able to confirm the installation on my phone. I went to the Nokia shop and they told me they have to sent the cell phone in for repair and this can takes up to four weeks. This is totally unacceptable. Until today I was I fan of Nokia phones but this has changed dramatically.

Hi
I also experienced the same problem. Phone was working perfectly prior to Firmware Update.
I had never used or changed the lock code. Initially I thought everything was fine because the
Firmware Update was reported to have been a success.
I then went through the process of selecting language (English) and setting date and time.
However, after doing all this I was then asked for a Lock Code.
I was a little bemused but tried the default '12345'. This did not work.
I tried all the other usual defaults; '0000', '1111', '1234' etc, still no joy.
After a little swearing I decided to ring the Nokia help line. After explaining the problem I was advised to go to my nearest Care Centre. I was also told that if the cause of my problem was as a result of the 'faulty' firmware update then they should do it free of charge.
Off to the Care Centre then (30 mile round trip)!!!! They rigged it up to their 'kit' and confirmed that
the Lock Code had not been changed and was still set to '12345'. They could not access the phone
either. They now have my phone and are going to try and sort it and if they cannot sort it will be
sending off to Nokia. This should then be sorted under warranty (although I would argue the cause
of the problem is a glitch in the Firmware Update and not a fault with the phone).
Let's hope that when I get the phone back it will all be hunky dory!!!
It's also worth noting that even though I could not access the phone directly by using its own keys
I could use all the functions when rigged up to my computer through Nokia PC Suite. I could access
all contacts, messages, calendar etc. I was also able to send and receive SMS. If the phone was
locked then surely I shouldn't have been able to do this????
Hope the above sheds some light on your problem. Just be sure that you are not fobbed off by
either the help line or the 'techies' in the shop. At the end of the day if you have not messed about
with the lock code before the firmware update you should be able to get it sorted free of charge if
the phone is still under warranty. GOOD LUCK!!!!

I phone stuck on recovery mode after i update for 7.1.1

hi,
after i updated my phone for 7.1.1 it only shows on the screen to connect to i tune.///is there a way i can remove recovery mode without missing al my setting on my phone?

Hello dreams1
If it is in recovery mode, then no you can escape or bypass it and you would need to use iTunes to restore it. Once that is complete, if you have a back up in iTunes or iCloud, then you can put that back up back on.
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

Airport no longer working after firmware update

Before i get to my question, i think that it is necessary to give a bit of background as to why i have set my network up the way i have.
I recently moved in with my girlfriend and brought my broadband package with me as i would have to pay a fee to cancel my contract within the contract period.
This would be all well and good except that in the new location, the service provider can only supply broadband via an ADSL phone line (provided by a seperate telephone company) furthermore they (Virgin Media - i'm gonna name names) provide a cheap USB only modem - which in turn is only compatible with PPC Macs.
Fine for me, but not so great for my girlfriend who has an Intel Mac Mini and not so great for my new Airport Extreme which of course requires a modem with an ethernet connection.
Bearing in mind that it's just after Christmas and i can't afford to just run out and buy an ethernet modem or change my ISP - i thought that i would try something out.
With the USB modem connected to my old PPC G4 i then connected the ethernet cable (that i had connecting our two Macs allowing them to share the internet connection) - from my G4 to the WAN port on the Airport...
Now i'm a real networking newbie so i was a little suprised when suddenly and effortlessly i had created a wireless network that the Mac Mini and our iPod Touches could see and use. I set up security etc and all was well and good...for two days.
Then Airport received a firmware update and now it doesn't work and resetting the Airport doesn't help.
So now i have to get my hands dirty and like i say, i know jack about networks or the terminology.
With this configuration - and obviously we know that it can work (somehow!)
should i be in bridge mode or sharing a single IP address? and just how am i connecting to the internet. Static IP address/DHCP - PPPoE? I know what these abbreviations stand for but i don't know what they mean.
In the course of 'playing around' with the settings i have seen a message saying that Airport has an invalid I.P. address - why is it invalid and is that only because of something that i have changed or is that the route of the problem?
All the machines can see each other and the only clue i can provide is this log extract.

Can anyone help? I've been struggling with this for days now.
Thanks in advance.
Steve.

Your setup is convoluted, but it should work. A few comments:
1. The base station should be configured to get an IP address using DHCP, which it will get from your PPC which (with internet connection sharing turned on) is now acting as a DHCP server.
2. The base station should be configured in bridge mode, since your PPC (with intenet connection sharing turned on) is now acting as a router.
3. I suggest you should turn off the network firewall on the PPC as long as your are running this sort of setup. Not ideal, but it will prevent all sorts of connectivity problems between the internet and everything downstream of your PPC's ethernet port.
