SB Wireless Music / D-link connect

Hi everyboby
I have a SB WM that I am trying to connect to a D-link 64 wireless router, but I keep getting the same error message '<I>The Recei'ver encountered problem in wireless communication. Please check the settings</I>'. I have tried everything now, no WEP, 64 and 28 bit WEP, I have enabled the DHCP, basicly everything in Creative?s Configuration and Troubleshooting guide!
Both the router and the WM reciever are upgraded the the latest firmware.
I have seen some threads in the forum regarding this problem, but I have not found any solutions yet!
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Morten

same problem, same error. did you ever get this resolved?

Soundblaster Wireless Music - receiver is connected but no so

I have a SB Wireless music receiver (purchased in March '05).
It was working just fine for 3 months, then nothing. After several attempts reistalling, rebooting, etc (including several emails back and forth with Creative Americas Cusotmer Support, it was determined that my receiver might be defecti've. I was given an RMA#, I returned the receiver (under warranty), and got it back yesterday.
I am experiencing the SAME problem I was experiencing before I sent it in (see below).
My wireless receiver IS DEFINTITELY communicating through my wireless router, as I can clearly see my library, playlists, etc. on the RF remote display. When I try to play music, I can access my library, playlists, etc. I select a track and hit the play button. Everything shows up on the remote display, but the counter is not counting, e.g. 00:00:00 is displayed in the upper left hand corner of the RF, and consequently, I get no sound from my stereo, and yes, it IS connected correctly via the RCA cables.
Any suggestions? And thanks in advance,
Chris

Do you mean you entered 3 characters to generate your WEP key? A WEP 28 key is normally represented as a string of 26 hexadecimal digits (valid hexadecimal digits are 0 through F, where decimal is 0 through 9). You may enter a passphrase to generate your hex key, that's what I did on my Netgear router, but then the actual WEP key shows up in my Key field in the router setup as a string of 26 hex digits. If you just enter 3 regular characters this represents a string of 26 hex numbers. Here's some examples of ASCII character to hex conversions; the letter -lower case "g" is a hex "67", a space " " is a hex "20", a upper case "L" is a hex "4C". It is the string of 26 hex digits that must be entered into the wireless music setup for WEP 28.

Connecting the Wireless Music Sys

I recently purchased the Wireless Music System and hooked it up according to the instructions. The issue I have is that I cannot get any music out of my stereo receiver. From the remote I am able to access all of the tracks on my computer, but when I select play I get nothing out of the stereo system. Should the remote show the track is playing by showing it is counting the secons of the track? Mine only highlights the track after I hit the play button, and shows the name of the track when I go through the now playing portion. The track will play on my computer, so it appears they are ok. I verified the stereo input works by hooking a CD player to the input w/ the same cables and it played fine. Any help anyone might have on this would be greatly aprreciated.

It doesn't appear to be having difficulty connecting, but this is a new install for me so I have no reference point. The stereo receiver I am using is about 0 years old, but it has a hook-up for a CD and I verified they work, so I assumed it should be ok. Is there any reason to believe it would not be capable of handling the MP3 data through these same inputs? I will check into the firmware when I get home. Thanks for the suggestions.

How to set up 6th Generation AirPort Extreme to cable modem as a wireless router and then connect my 3rd Generation Time Capsule to AirPort Extreme as a wireless extender?

What is the best way to set up my 6th Generation AirPort Extreme (A1521) to my cable modem as a wireless router and then connect my 3rd Generation Time Capsule (A1355) to my AirPort Extreme as a wireless extender? I live in a small 1 story house and I currently have the Airport Extreme connected to my cable modem in the living room and the Time Capsule plugged into the wall in my bedroom. I am able to wirelessly connect to the internet using the AirPort Extreme as my router and I can also do wireless back ups to my Time Capsule. My problem is that my connection seems to be really slow! My 1TB Time Capsule back up is only half way complete and it has been 3 days! My computer has been backing up all day and night for almost 72 hours and its still not even 75% complete. I have backed up to this Time Capsule in the past and it never took this long. I am thinking that when I set up my AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule using AirPort Utility I must have set it up incorrectly or something.
How do I set up my Airport Extreme and Time Capsule for the fastest possible internet speed and back up speed?
Thank you,

AirPort Utility 5.6 works with AirPort Extreme 802.11g base stations.
It works with N version airports.
It will also show details of the AC model but cannot be used for the setup.. mostly.
I purposely got the new 6th Gen Airport Extreme so my internet connection would be a lot faster!
Your network will be much faster when you have AC client directly connected to the AE. Older client will go no faster.. but what is worse.. extend wireless is mixing new and old wireless standards.. guess what one wins.. OLD.. So when you extend wireless.. you have no improvement whatsoever. This whole post is about extending wireless.. so you cannot extend to older equipment and do any better.. maybe slightly better signal although from your comments that isn't happening either.
I would rather not have to use an ethernet at all with the TC and I don't know EOP adapters are!
If you do not use ethernet then you are going to be forced to accept slow speed.
EOP (ethernet over power). Also called homeplug in the US.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HomePlug
Provides a method of networking over power cabling that already exists in your house.
So what your saying is for the fastest internet speed and back up speed possible I should keep my Airport Extreme plugged into my Modem and keep my TC set up as a wireless extender? Then when I want to do back ups I should plug an ethernet cable from my TC to my MacBook Pro?
To spell this out.
A wireless link to an extended device will go very slowly.. if it is not direct.
So lets say you have a laptop sitting in the lounge.. Your connection goes.. Laptop- - - - - AE- - - - -TC.
That means two wireless links.. wireless has this nasty half duplex and single channel nature.. it can send or receive (Tx or Rx) but not at the same time.
Ethernet by contrast does both at once. It is full duplex.
Wireless can talk to one client at a time.. so if there are multiple items using wireless lets say 4 devices.. then your computer gets a 25% time slice. Since wireless cannot handle multiple simultaneous connections.
Ethernet by contrast can connect multiple computers to multiple destinations at the same time.. all transmitting and receiving at full speed.
When you put all this together.. there are a couple of rules for fast connection.
1. Use ethernet at all times. Where you cannot use ethernet use anything but wireless.. eg EOP (homeplug) at least to try and get rid of wireless.
2. Where you must use wireless use it sparingly and make sure it is never more than one hop.. ie never have an extend wireless (repeater is more usual term). Repeater will cause instant slowdown of 50% and maybe up to 75% just because it is so inefficient.
3. Fastest wireless is 5ghz but it has very short range.. you need to be up close and personal to get it working.
Apple routers however unless you do manual setup I suggest are set to connect to best signal strength not best speed. It will therefore use 2.4ghz at 25% less speed than 5ghz because it is 1db better signal.. this madness means you need to setup manually for the best setup.

I copied all my CD's onto a hard drive. Can I transfer each CD from the hard drive to my iPhone either wirelessly or by direct connection?

I copied all my CD's onto a hard drive. Can I transfer each CD from the hard drive to my iPhone either wirelessly or by direct connection? Do I have to make a playlist for each cd and then transfer it to my iPhone?

When you buy your new iMac you will be able to have the installation process transfer all your applications, data (including music, pictures, documents, etc) and settings to your new computer. In the past that was done via Firewire. I'm not entirely sure of the process with the new iMacs that don't have firewire. I think it can be done via ethernet and probably via tha thunderbolt cord using a firewire adapter but you'll want to check that out.
    With the your new computer properly connected to your old computer, the initial booting of the new computer will include the ability to move everything over.
    If for some reason you don't want to do that (smart if you have some horrible software issue that is causing problems) you can connect your old computer to the new one and start it in Target Disk mode where it will be seen as a hard drive. You can then manually copy over all your music and import that into iTunes (and any other data you want).
    Somebody here will surely point you to directions for connecting an older iMac with no Thunderbolt to a newer iMac with no Firewire.

Want wireless music, but wired internet

is there a way to use the airport express for my music, but then run an ethernet cable stright to my computer, and use them both at the sametime. (to use the wireless music i have had to switch to wireless airport, then the internet doest work w/ the ethernet connected to my computer)

"i need the computer to be connected not wirelessly, but to the computer"
I am not sure what this means?
If you get a cheap router, you can connect via ethernet. Your express will join the network wirelessly.

Wireless music player with Time Capsule :advice sought

Hi,
All my music files in my iTunes library are stored on my Time Capsule.
I would like to purchase a wireless music player (Squeezebox or similar, not Mac TV) that could directly access and play the music stored on my Time Capsule, without the need for Mac Book to be switched on. From the few wireless music players I have looked at, I get the impression (possibly false) that I would need the music player's client software installed on the Mac Book to serve the music to the player, which implies that the Mac Book needs to be switched on when the music player is in use (correct/false??)
Can any one please give me some advice here? Is my understanding correct? Is there a simple way to configure my wireless network to allow a music player to play files directly from the Time Capsule? Can you recommend a particular music player that would allow me to do this?

I would expect exactly what you are getting.
Wireless is not going to transfer real world speeds higher than about link speed divided by 3, maybe even 4.
Find your link speed. Hold down the option key and click the wireless fan in the top menu area.
Take the transmit rate and divide by 3..
You should realise that wireless is limited by Apple to 130Mbps at 2.4ghz although in newer equipment you can achieve 217Mbps.
For 5ghz the speed will be 450Mbps in the same room but drops off quickly.. the above shot is with the TC in the next room.. max link speed dropped from 450 to 162 as drop off at 5ghz is very rapid.

Wireless Music System Issue in Windows 7

I've been using the wireless music system for a few years and love it. However, I have an issue with it in Windows 7. all the software installs fine and appears to be functioning correctly. I did notice that the updated software driver does give me a network not ready error.
The main issue I have been unable to solve is when starting the media server it shows it's running at the address of 27.0.0. not the address of the machine. With it running at this address the receiver never can find the server.
I haven't been able to configure the receiver as I get a error message saying there is a problem with the wirelss network. when i do plug in the receiver, it lists the name I named it under XP. I am able to ping the device from Windows 7 as well as two other XP machines so it has retained it's address. When I boot back into XP it connects fine. I don't think the issue is with the receiver since when I go back to XP everything works fine.
Does anyone have an idea how to make the media server run on the IP address of the computer itself rather than the local host address? I noticed also that in the properties for windows media player in the network section in Windows 7 it also shows that it is running on the same 27.0.0. address.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I hate to think I might have to come up with something new.

hi, to get past this stage of the instalation you need to use a usb wired mouse, this means a mouse that has a wire and usb to plug into your mac.
the onscreen keyboard can be found if you click on the icon on the bottom left of the setup screen (looks similar to a wheelchair sgn)
a usb wireless mouse or keyboard will not work because the wireless drivers are not yet installed in windows. they will install along with all other drivers when you open the bootcamp drive (can be found in win7; "my computer"
in win 8; "this pc") and click on setup exe. this installs bootcamp on the windows side and installs all the drivers that you downloaded while originally running bootcamp assistant.

Connecting two EA2700 routers (wireless) and enable LAN connection on both

Hi all,
I have just bought two EA2700 routers, and I simply cannot perform the setup.
I have the first router connected to the modem, and need the secon router to connect to the first through wireless to extend the range. Secondly, I want to enable LAN connection from the second router to e.g. a computer, PS4 etc.
After having spend a lot of time on searching for at guide, I have given up... I really hope, that you are able to help me on this matter.
Thanks a lot in advance..

Hello Acsadac. Are you setting up the 2nd EA2700 to act as a range extender (wirelessly connected to the 1st EA2700)? If you are, then it's not possible. You can do one of two things, though.
1. LAN to LAN. Configure the 2nd EA2700 as a switch. This will act akin to a range extender (for both wired and wireless connections) but you'll be using a long ethernet cable.
2. LAN to WAN. Configure it as a secondary router. This way, you have 2 separate wireless networks in one connection. Again, you will need a long ethernet cable for this kind of setup.
Here's a link on how to configure the 2 EA2700s:

Two Wireless Mighty Mice losing connection on two macs - what's going on?

I have a PowerMac G4/466 and a Power Mac G5 Dual 2GHz. Yesterday I bought two wireless apple keyboards and mighty mice, with D-Link BT dongles, for both computers. I have the same problem on both. Basically, the mice lose connections so frequently (actually, the connection is lost constantly) that I have had to go back to my wired mouse to get any kind of quality work time on my Macs. For some reason, when the wireless keyboard wasn't connected, the mighty mouse on the G4 worked fine (haven't tested this on the G5 yet). I have looked through a few of the topics in this forum and all I seem to find is other users who have the same problems but no answers. Can anyone give me a few pointers to try and sort this problem? I would like to use the wireless mighty mouse and for it not to be a waste of money buying.

It might be worth your while to view the iMovie tutorials at http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/imovie/index.html because they can answer a lot of questions you may be having with your new computer.
If your iSight camera was on while you were trying to import video from your camera into iMovie, something was set wrong.

I can't make my AirPort Express join my D-LINK connection!

I set the Airport Express to join my D-Link WBR-1310 connection and it goes fine all the way until it is needed to restart the Airport. After that Airport Utility won't find my Airport Express and the Airport won't join the D-Link connection; just keeps blinking the orange light.

It's likely that the AirPort Express is not being provided with the correct information regarding the wireless security settings. The security settings must match up exactly between your D-Link wireless router and the AirPort Express.
Can you get into the configuration page for the D-Link router and identify the exact type of wireless security that it is using and post back with that information?

Wireless music ser

Hi!
I am having some difficulties with the soundblaster wireless music. Specifically, I am finding that the included software cannot import my music collection all at once. I have ~2000 mp3 files (all properly tagged), and the import utility consistently hangs my machine. My music collection in on an external 60Gb usb HD (using a usb .0 port) and everything is on a PIII 500MHz machine with 384 Mb rab and windows XpSp. I can import at most, 50 songs at a time without the system hanging, but with 2000 songs, that would be quite a task! Do you have any suggestions?
I have applied all the relevant updates (software and firmware) as of 0/3/04.
Is it possible to use another piece of software to catalogue my collection?
Or, is my machine just not up to the task.
Thanks!
PaulMessage Edited by pdjones22 on 0-5-2004 06:2 PM

I have over 7000 mp3's and have cataloged them all in one pass using the MediaSource software at 2.02.06. They reside on a internal SATA dri've so I'm wondering if the connection speed may be the problem. Are all your files in a single directory? I have very clean tags, but have also a directory tree structure that is like "dri've:\MP3\Artist\Album". I just said Import Tracks and went to the MP3 folder and said add folder. The import then runs in a 2 phase process, the st phase appears to grab all the tag info and the 2nd phase appears to do the actual cataloging. A Continue button is required to continue to the 2nd phase.

Wireless music setup. Does Remote App require a special version of iTunes?

I am about to create a wireless music system in my house. It is supposed to be able to play different songs at the same time in different rooms.
Setup as follows:
NAS server to host music cabled to Airport Extreme Base Station, MAC Mini (leopard) with one version of iTunes version 4.1 installed on different users (which will be labeled living room, kitchen etc.) and Fast Switching User enabled, MAC Mini also cabled to Airport Extreme Base Station which sends to a number of Airport Express' in all the rooms I want music in, Airport Express connects to powered speakers. Everything is to be controlled by Remote on a couple of iPhones.
I’m told that to make this work I have to use an old edition of iTunes, namely 4.1. This worries me that I cannot verify that iTunes 4.1 works with the Remote app.
Can anyone comment on Remote – iTunes 4.1 relation, please?
Comments on the setup in general are also happily received.
BR, S. Klauber

Considering the complexity of what you have in mind, and also that you still have to invest in the equipment, you might want to consider a Sonos system. Now they also have an iPhone app, so you don't even need to buy the dedicated remote (which alone is pricy enough). Before AirTunes was able to stream to multiple APXs at the same time, I seriously considered it – but in the end I'm glad I didn't go for the Sonos, since AirTunes currently covers my needs.
I don't have an Airport Extreme, but I have to say that the iMac is connected directly to one of the APX. (The other APX is connected only wirelessly to the system, and a couple of rooms away.) If you don't need to connect USB drives to the base station, you don't really need to buy an Extreme, as the APX is a perfectly autonomous base station.
Nonetheless, as you might have read in the forums, the AirTunes system does not always work flawlessly, and can be quite moody, especially when interference is present. But interference (like with microwave ovens) should be less of a problem with new equipment, if you make it work at 5 GHz.
Lastly, having two iTunes libraries doesn't mean that you have to duplicate data on disk. If you set up iTunes so it just references files on your NAS, you can have two (or more) libraries that use the same files. But the two libraries are necessary so that the various instances of iTunes running simultaneously do not create data conflict. Having multiple libraries on the same data can be a bit of a pain if you add music often, as you'd have to keep them in sync, but there might be tools to help you with that.

What stereo do i need in order to stream wireless music?

You can use any stereo with a line-level audio input (1/8" stereo minijack, RCA-style phone connectors, or a DIN style input), or a stereo with a digital optical input.
The only thing you cannot connect to an Airport Express - speakers than don't have a built in amplifier powered by either batteries or the mains.
