Resetting Airport Extreme disabled my home network. Now when i attempt to get to internet with iPad, or iPhone, I see an Earthlink (ISP) window with message: The internet connection is currently in use by another computer (nun.nn.n.nn) Enter your DSL Account logon psassword to switch the internet connection to this computer. If I do that, other messages follow. I am usually able to switch connection, but can have only one device on internet at a time. Tried to correct problem using Airport Utility, but failed.

Unfortunately, there is mass confusion about whether a device might be a modem or a modem/router since the terms are mixed up all the time. Even though a device might have only one Ethernet port, it can still be a router.
If this is your "modem".......

It is not a modem.....it is a modem/router. If that is the case, then the AirPort Extreme is not the only router on your network....it is one of two routers, and it should be configured to operate in Bridge Mode.
Does this device appear to be your "modem"?

TC: The Internet connection is currently in use by another computer...

So, I have a TC connected to a Netopia ADSL modem from Earthlink. Ocassionally, when the computer has left the wireless network, I will come home to find the following page with the Earthlink logo at the top:
“The Internet connection is currently in use by another computer
( 172.16.1.10 ).
Enter your DSL Account logon password to switch the Internet
connection to this computer.”
If I enter the password and click "Obtain Connection", I am taken to another page that says that I can now access the Internet, blah blah blah... and another button that says "Release Connection".
First of all, it does not seem like that should be happnening, but no big deal as it takes 5 seconds out of my day to work around. The bigger problem is that only one computer can be connected to the Internet at a time. If a friend with another laptop comes over and tries to access the Internet at the same time as me, he will get the same Earthlink page popping up. If he enters the password, he will kick off the first computer and on and on and on...
I called Elink support and they, of course, told me it is a TC issue. I called Apple and they, of course, told me it is an ISP issue. I suspect that it has something to do with my TC settings (bridge mode, maybe?), but have no idea what I am doing there.
Anyone have any ideas for me? I have friends coming into town this weekend and we won't be able to share stupid YouTube clips as efficiently with only one computer!

There is nothing you can do.. if you want more than one device connected then you must double NAT. This is common practice with Satellite providers.. I am not sure why they cannot afford to buy a block of public IP.. maybe it is deliberate to prevent people using servers.
Just select ignore in the airport utility.. for the double NAT problem.. this is the equivalent to sticking your head in the ground and therefore your problems don't exist. (your opponents cannot see you if you have a bird brain!!) Of course when the opportunity comes up.. move. Go to fibre or 3g/4g with a reliable ISP who hands out public IP. Until then tighten your belt.. short commons are the order of the day.

The internet connection is currently in use by another computer

I am trying to replace my old linksys router with Airport Express. I can get it connected and and I can access the internet on my MacBook but when I try to use WiFi on my iPad, I get the message "The Internet connection is currently in use by another computer (172.16.1.11)" from Earthlink, my ISP.
I have a Netopia modem from Earthlink. My MacBookPro is running OSX 10.9.4.
I understand that I need to have the AirPort Express look like the only device attached to the Netopia modern, and then the AirPort Express will handle multiple devices' connections correctly (MacBook Pro, iPad, iPhone). I just can't figure out how to set this up.

How to connect a 2nd airport express in a home network?

I'm triying to connect a second airport express in my home network but when I plug in and go to Airpot Utility says :
"This version of AirPort Utility doesn’t support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information."
I don't know what to do to get connect the second airport exprees?, Do I miss something ?

You need AirPort Utility 5.6 to configure that model Express. The problem with that version is that Mountain Lion will refuse to let you install it.
This dilemma is easily solved. You simply need to extract the app from the installer package using a package extractor like Pacifist or unpkg. Pacifist is shareware, unpkg is free.
Download Pacifist here: http://www.charlessoft.com/
Download unpkg here: http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Download AirPort Utility 5.6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
When the AirPort Utility .dmg file finishes downloading, open it to expand and reveal the AirPortUtility56.pkg package installer file.
Directions for Pacifist (I do not have screenshots for unpkg but the idea is similar):
Open Pacifist and from its File menu, navigate to the package and open it.
Click the "reveal triangles" until you see AirPort Utility 5.6.app:
Select it and then click Install from Pacifist's toolbar. It will then be installed in your Utilities folder, and you can quit Pacifist.
Mountain Lion will not allow you to delete its existing version of AirPort Utility. Just ignore it. It and the older version (which will bear the unique name "AirPort Utility 5.6") can peacefully coexist.
If you happen to have an archived copy of the AU 5.6 app somewhere, such as a Time Machine backup or equivalent, you can simply restore it or drag the app to your Mountain Lion system's Utilities folder instead of resorting to the above procedure. It will run without complaint. It is only the package installer that is the problem.
If you have an older computer with a version of AirPort Utility earlier than 6.0, you can administer it that way as well.

Home sharing works for apple TV, but no longer works for iPad or iPhone

Originally I thought the problem was just something was wrong with my iPad. All of a sudden, whenever I try to load videos from my home sharing library into my iPad, the little circle that indicates the percentage of library that's been loaded would only form a semicircle - half way around, indicating about 50% of the library was loaded, then freezes and loads no more.
I was having so many problems with my iPad that I did a restore on it. After the restore, the library did load, but before I played any of the videos, it went back to the way it was before, half loading and freezing.
I just this week replaced my iphone with a new 5s, and even though I don't really plan on watching videos through home sharing on the iphone, I thought I'd see how it behaved. It behaved identically to the ipad.
In the meantime, our apple TV streams home sharing flawlessly, which is good, because if I'm going to have problems with home sharing, I wouldn't want it to be with the apple TV.
Still, though, I'd like to be able to use my iPad again since It's proven handy in the past.
I have upgraded to the latest ios on both the iPad and the iPhone, however, the problem didn't start when I upgraded, I used it for a couple of weeks before the problem developed.
I'm using a virtually new airport extreme for my home network.
I can only assume the problem is in itunes somewhere, but where I don't know.

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.

IP address used by another computer

New to iMac. Keep getting msg that says IP address is being used by another computer. Have read Mr. Bob Timmons posts. His post are very helpful. So far, still haven't been able to solve on my own. I have an AT&T combo modem/router configured to operate as modem only. This is connected to AEBS. Old windows machine connected to one of the AEBS ports. Wireless devices are, ipad, iphone, itouch, apple TV, iMac, and printer.
Airport settings are; connect using ethernet; connection sharing off; using DHCP; wireless mode- create a wireless network; wireless security, WPA2 Personal; MAC address access control, not enabled
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Unfortunately, this information confirms that the 2-Wire device is not configured as a "bridge only" modem...which it needs to be.
If it were, you would not even be able to Connect Using = Ethernet on the AirPort Extreme.
Instead, your only way to connect would be to Connect Using = PPPoE on the AirPort Extreme.
But, your second post confirms that it is the 2-Wire device that is supplying the PPPoE service. This again confirms that it is not acting as a bridge mode modem.
Sorry, I don't have a 2-Wire gateway here to try to see if it can even be configured as a bridge modem, but having worked with a number of users on similar subjects in the past with 2-Wire products, I doubt that it can be configured this way....despite what the 2-Wire support folks might say. I think it is likely that the version of the 2-Wire that AT&T offers has limited functionality.
Your best option might be to configure the 2-Wire normally as a gateway device and then configure the AirPort to Connect Using = Ethernet and configure the setting for Connection Sharing to "Off (Bridge Mode)"
Or, perhaps you want to explore the possibilities on the 2-Wire further?

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Adobe-ID already been used on another computer

I own an eBookreader 'Kobo glo' and installed Adobe digital editions on my computer.
With this I am able to borrow e-books from our library.
My computer failed and got a new hard drive and I upgraded to Windows7.
Now my password is no longer accepted by Adobe digital editions ("has already been used on another computer").
What should I do? Response please to [email protected]

Odd, I have mine registered on a couple of computers and a couple of devices. I thought it started complaining after 6 total.
It might be worth completely unregistering (ctrl-shift-D) and restarting ADE to see if that helps; I don't think it will but it might.
You might need to ask Adobe to reset the activations on that account.

Can AirPort Extreme join a wireless network and share the connection to ethernet connected devices?

Can AirPort Extreme join a wireless network and share the connection to ethernet connected devices?

Yes, if the AirPort Extreme is joining a wireless network that has been created by another Apple router. In this case, it will be extending the wireless network and the Ethernet ports are enabled on the "remote" AirPort Extreme.
No, if the AirPort Extreme will be used with another router from another manfacturer.
Ironically, the less expensive AirPort Express can do what you ask about with virtually any wireless network using a special feature called ProxySTA. It won't extend the wireless with a non-Apple router, but the Ethernet port will be enabled.

Firmware update 7.4.2 for Airport Extreme not good for networked HD LaCie

I updated yesterday my Airport Extreme first generation to 7.4.2 and I started getting issues with my network HD drive LaCie 500GB connected to the AE via USB port.
It works, but suddenly gets disconnected and unmounted, creating issues for time machine and all the applications which are storing info on the networked HD.
Further more, if I open the Airport Utility, the information about the AE won't load untill I completely shut down or disconnect (plug out the USB cable) the LaCie HD.
Only way to get the HD back online and visible is to shut it down and restart it. Quite annoying. I have NO ISSUE now that I downgraded back to the previous 7.4.1 firmware.
Anybody has same issue? I am using the AE in N mode 5 Ghz. Right now I am not upgrading to 7.4.2.

I had the same problem with wireless TM backups loosing their connection to an AEBS-N running 7.4.2 with a 1.4TB Seagate FreeAgent airdisk. Restarting the cable modem and AEBS did not work. Reinstalling 10.5.7 did not work.
What did work was reverting to firmware 7.4.1 on the AEBS-N.
Here is the TM Buddy log before with 7.4.2 which shows the reoccurring TM backup failure 19 and the disconnect -36:

Export Ultra Beat Kit to use on another computer? Multiple samples per key?

I know I can save it in a session, but I'd like to export a custom UB kit, along with its samples, as a single file/folder for use on another computer. Is this possible?
Additionally, I'm sure this has been asked before but I never found an answer. Can I layer multiple samples on a single key and trigger them with different velocities? I can't even figure out how to do this in exs without it changing the volume according to velocity input. Thanks guys.

To answer the second question, it is certainly possible. Not that I have done it intentionally but on more than one occasion I have imported multiple samples into exs only to find that every sample plays when I press one key...
Check the mapping!

How do I reset Airport Extreme Model A1034?

How do I reset Airport Extreme Model A1034?
I am using a MacBook Pro to set up the airport, but, I get this message:

How to organise Lightroom catalogue, in such a way that the catalogue can be used on another comput

how to organise(and save) Lightroom catalogue, in such a way that the catalogue can be used on another computer? / so you can see what has been edited etc. /

Yes, but external disks will always be slower than internal drives.
Look into file synchronization software. As long as folder structure is identical inside the two master folders, and drive letters the same, you can keep the two machines fully synchronized very easily, going both ways. The one I use cost about $50 or so.
Use a large capacity 2,5" portable (goes in your pocket) for transport. You need the entire master folder there, but once set up only new or modified files are copied.
The Lightroom catalog can be synchronized with the rest, so that you are working with the same catalog on both machines. This overwrites the catalog with a new copy every time, so a regular backup schedule in addition is a must. OTOH you will have three copies of every file, one always off-site. That's sound backup practice.
Tip: exclude the Lr Previews folder from the synchronization. They are written to disk in such a way that they take an insanely long time to copy. New previews will be built on the receiving machine.

Why am i needing to reset airport extreme almost daily?

why am i needing to reset airport extreme almost daily? Is it just too old?

Teresa,
You haven't provided any useful information so it's almost impossible to help you. If you are really running OS X 10.2.x as your profile states then you are posting in the wrong forum, this forum is for Intel based iMacs that began shipping with Tiger 10.4.x. Also you haven't stated what Airport Extreme you have, there have been many models over the years. Once you locate which AE you have I'd recommend posting in the appropriate AE forum and try to paint a clear picture of what is happening and also provide the verison of OS X you're using, the Mac model and ever the firmware version of the AE you have. You can find the firmware version by running Airport Utility.

Resetting Airport Extreme disabled my home network. Now when i attempt to get to internet with iPad, or iPhone, I see an Earthlink (ISP) window with message: The internet connection is currently in use by another computer (nun.nn.n.nn)
