Serious problem with base station and/or computer internet connection

Hi,
my powerbook does not detect my base station (another computer at home does, so the base station seems to be working) but it does detect other networks.
I have allready tried to reset the basse station (many times) but it doesen't help. Have tried to re-configure in Airport Admin Utility there is no base station (I cannot push configure) - when I push "Other" - it does not accept the base station password (have also tried "public" as they suggest in "help").
The same thing happens in Airport Setup Assistant: it does not detect my base station. It has happened before that the base station "disapears" and I could fix it now it seems to be unfixable. Can anyone out there help me???

Agnes,
the one computer connects wirelessly to the base
station and
works alright? Also the Mac can connect to the
base
station with ethernet and works alright?
Yes, thats correct
Then you should be able to access the base station two ways, from the Mac via ethernet or from the pc. I am assuming that your "pc at home" is a pc running windows (if the 2nd computer is also a Mac it would be even better).
Anyway, you can administer the base station from the dark side, you may want to check out the following:
AirPort 4.2 for Windows
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airport42forwindows.html
Check also:
XP users need to have WZC installed to administer:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108049
If you haven't upgraded your pc to XP Service Pack 2.
As far as running the admin utility from the Mac, connect to the base via ethernet. You have indicated that you can do that and get to the internet, therefore you should be able to see the base station with the admin utility. If you are seeing your neigbor's that is wirelessly. But the wired connection Mac->Ethernet->Base-LAN-Port should allow the base to show up with a Name and an IP Adress.
Once in the admin utility for the base station (either by pc wirelessly or by Mac via ethernet) you can then make changes. You should be able to see the Base Station Name and the Airport network name. You can then change the channel: 1, 4, 7, 11 (try three apart from each other). Is your base set up to configure TCP/IP using ethernet, configure using DHCP (select the Internet tab at the top to get to this page)? On the Network tab page, is the base configured to Distribute IP addresses, Sharing a single IP address using DHCP and NAT?
As far as your Mac's System Network Preferences, you are not selected to Connect using PPoE are you? Are you set to "Automatically join an open network"? Are you configured for Using DHCP? To join a specific network (your airport network name and password)?
By the way, if RF interference is a possible problem, you can check out:

    I am trying to connect a NetGear Wifi Range Extender to my existing Wifi. I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and I am also connected to a Vonage Phone Router. Any help would be appreciated?
    The Apple update Firmware for my Airport Extreme Base Station does not update for some reason? Help?
    Additionally, I have an older version Airport Express that does not update with the newer Airport Utility Version 6.3 and asks me to download 5.6 to update? Is this worth it?
    Thanks

    The netgear is not going to work very well.. and not at all unless it is universal wireless extender.. you cannot use WDS method.
    If it does support universal wireless then make sure the airport uses a rational SMB compatible wireless name.. not an apple name which is 35 characters long with spaces and illegal characters like apostrophe.
    So nice AE name.. AEwifi and actually while you are trying.. fruitlessly to do this.. use AE24ghz and AE5ghz (so different names on the different bands)
    Assuming your AE is gen3 or greater.
    You should also fix the wireless channel at least for 2.4ghz since the netgear is probably only going to repeat 2.4ghz so use channel 11, as a trial.
    And use no wireless security as a test.. if that works.. then use WPA1 & 2.. as often old equipment using WPA2 is not compatible.
    If it fails with simple name.. fixed channel and no security. Sorry it is not compatible at all.. it happens.
    If your AE is G wireless or earlier model.. really the time has come for replacement.
    If your Express is G wireless model it is not supported.. and is too old to bother with expect I guess if you want to run audio to a speaker.
    You must use older 5.6 utility to do this.. so do you have a computer running older OS.. up to Mountain Lion it is easy to install with a bit of manipulation.. later is much harder .. or windows computer anywhere or available to you.

  • Why Apple don't fix half year serious problem with HD3000, Lion and Adobe products? Doesn't Apple really care about advanced users?

    Why Apple don't fix half year serious problem with HD3000 drivers, Lion and Adobe products? Doesn't Apple really care about advanced users?
    I have Mac mini and Macbook Pro 13". Bouth with HD3000. And I can't work at all. With Snow Lepard I had no problems. It's tiny problem in code. And such pain for lots of users!

    If you have a problem with Adobe products, voice your issues with them.
    It is the software developers responsibility to maintain compatability

    I had that a few days ago, couldn't reproduce it. I was also running xfce4. I havn't had it today and im running xfdesktop+xfce-mcs-manager+pekwm+xfce4-panel... so it may have been xfwm4.

  • Serious problem with AppStore/iTunes WiFi Store. Cannot connect

    Hi
    I has a serious problem with my iPod Touch: When I tries to open App Store on my iTouch, I usually gets this message: *"Cannot connect to iTunes Store"*, often followed by *"Cannot retrieve download information. Please connect with iTunes."*. iTunes on my MacBook seems to work just fine.
    I might also be able to use the AppStore for a minute or so, and then the problems are coming back. All other internet-enabled apps is working fine, except the iTunes WiFi Store who's having the same problems as AppStore.
    What should I do?

    That would be a wonderful suggestion if my computer could connect to iTunes. Since about July my computer keeps giving me error 11222. I've tried everything on the support discussion board, but they haven't solved the problem either, and my software is up to date. Today instead of giving me the error, it's just been sitting for hours saying "Accessing iTunes Store". I was really hoping that I could just use the wifi on the iPod to access the iTunes and AppStore. Any other suggestions until iTunes gets fixed on my computer? Thanks for your help - Lex

  • Airport Extreme Base Station and Multiple Computer Access to the Internet

    I have my IMAC connected to the internet via the Airport Extreme Base Station. When I am able to connect, my son's MacBook cannot. If I preform network diagnostics and reset the base station so he can connect (which appears to be luck on my part), I can no longer connect. When I first set this up, I had it working with all computers in the house. I tried to expand the system to boost the signal in our house with the airport express units. I have since removed them and started over, but still cannot provide internet access to more than one computer.

  • Computer/devices will not recognize newly installed base station and make a network connection.

    iMac running latest version of Yosemite, 6.3.4 version of Airport Utility, 2TB Airport Time Capsule 802.11ac. Installed latest base station as a replacement for an earlier 3T model and with Apple Tech Support was finally able to establish wireless internet connection. Time Machine nor printer connections cannot recognize the new base station/network.

    Unless you have changed the settings on your Mac in Time Machine > Preferences to update them for your new Time Capsule, Time Machine is still programmed to remember and use the old settings to find your old Time Capsule, which is no longer there.
    Open up Time Machine / Preferences and remove the current disk that is being used with Time Machine.
    Then, click Select Disk, click on your current Time Capsule disk (likely called Data unless you have changed it) to highlight it, then click Use Disk
    The first backup to the new Time Capsule should start in a few minutes.
    As far as the printer, the same conditions likely exist......namely that your printer is remembering the settings to communicate with your old Time Capsule, which is no longer there, so you need to tell your printer that you have a new Time Capsule and provide it with the correct settings to connect.
    Start over again, just as if the printer was new, and set up the printer again to connect to the new Time Capsule.

  • How can I use Apple TV with iPhone 4S and no home Internet connection?

    Ok here is the situation.  I'm at my grandparents house where I have the following setup;
    NO home Internet connection
    iPhone 4S
    Verizon carrier with unlimited data plan
    Apple TV (I believe it's the latest one)
    Lynksys router
    What I would like to do is stream Netflix, HBO GO, or You Tube and put it on my grandparent's tv where I have the Apple TV hooked up.
    I thought it wouldn't be a problem however I can't figure out how to be on the same network from the router and receive 3G data at the same time.
    Is it possible to do what I want with this setup?  If so how?
    Thanks

    I think I worked out a solution given my equipment.  I was looking around on other forums and I found the following post concerning the ability for iPhone 4S to be on 3G and wifi simultaneously.
    "I know this thread is old and op may have discovered the answer already. However, I am posting this just in case someone else might be looking for a solution.
    The solution does not require any additional software nor require a jailbreak.
    All you need to accomplish this is already built into every iPhone and iPad with 3G.
    Connect to your wifi and write down the IP address your router assigned you. Then, select static tab instead of DHCP and fill in the IP address your DHCP server assigned to your iPad. Next, fill in the subnet mask but leave the rest of the fields empty.
    You now have access to your wifi as well as 3G.
    I ran into this issue when I wanted to use live traffic using 3G for my iPad's GPS and still connect to my GoFlex Satellite using wifi. It works extremely well."
    AFter configuring my phone to the router, as mentioned above, I connected my Apple TV to the same router.  Using the mirroring option I was able to airplay Netflix, You Tube and Flixster flawlessly from my phone to the big screen.  Direct TV and HBO GO did not work however. 
    I Then tried to access items directly from Apple TV thinking that it could use the data from my phone.  I was wrong.  So all in all I'm able to stream about half of my movie entertainment applications given my situation.  I'm pleased.

  • SERIOUS Problem with mac pro and kernel panics

    Hi guys, I have a mac pro with 6 gigabytes of RAM + a RAID 0+1 system with 4 750 gigabytes HD's. ( 2 drives work in stripped mode, and the other 2 drives mirror them )
    I was experiencing some frecuent kernel panics when using final cut or trying to watch DVD's a few weeks ago. I saved some error logs then and uploaded them to my e-mail. The problem is that now the frequency of the panics is so high that the computer has turned unusable, it reaches the desktop without panics, but when I click finalcut and it starts opening , it panics all the time, if I start to open folders, it panics, anything I try = panic.
    Weeks ago I made the Apple Hardware test, testing the memory a lot and the memory seemed to be fine,
    Could you guys help me to identify the source of this?, I am desperate because the MacPro is my Working tool. Is there a way to check the hard drives also? ( remember I have raid 0+1 )
    Here are the error logs that I managed to capture.

    What you mention is really interesting , maybe I could try to benchmark the card very hard to see if I get the panics there. I will try that for sure, because my RAID wasn't actually a 0+1. It's what they call a RAID 10 , ( two groups of mirrored drives, + striped )
    It's like this post in macosrumors, but instead of two groups of striped disks, the big group is striped, and I got two smaller mirrored groups.
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=445731
    And I think that sould be working just fine without the RAID PCI-X card right ? ( maybe I'm wrong here , that's why I need your input guys . )

  • Having serious problems with Google Adsense and iWeb

    Ok, I'm totally ignorant when it comes to web work. I can direct friggin' movies but this web stuff, forget it.
    However, I am playing around with a video podcast and would like to try and do the website myself. But I can't seem to have any luck setting up Google's adsense on the site. I've followed the steps in the following link...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=399399&tstart=0
    ...and the results are not good.
    One thing, since I'm no longer using my .mac account to host (can't use ads on there?) I am hosting the site through powweb. I don't know if that has anything to do with why it's acting like this.
    My web address is offthestriplv.com. If anyone could check out the site and shed a little light on why it's so messed up, I'd greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks for your time everybody.

    There are several problems. The code is showing, and also the positioning is off.
    To exactly position where you want the ad to go, you need to position the text box of the exact same dimensions as the completed ad (or slightly larger to be on the safe side) exactly where you want it on the page.
    Then type some text in the box. When you've published, you need to replace the text you've typed with the code. You obviously managed it once with the centre strip of google ads, but the top and bottom ones, it seems you've just pasted the code into the iWeb page. You can't just paste code into an iWeb page, only after publishing.
    Another reason for the code showing is that you've not replaced the text properly and missed out some tags, so when the browser comes to render the page, it's treating it like text.
    Hope that helps

    I just started using Fireworks CS6 and I'm having trouble with pngs.  I did the function a million times in CS5.  I'm simly doing an image preview and savings as a png32 with a transparent background and no matte color.  But it keeps saving with a white background.  Has something changed from CS5 to CS6 in the way pngs save?  I use this funtiin quite often and it's really irritating that's it's not working right in CS6.  I hope it's my error but I would appreciate any help or insight.  For now I'm going back to CS5 because it's works correctly.
    Thanks!

    So does this problem exist in the editing, layout, or publishing stages of your workflow?
    The reason I ask is that there are some situations where I don't necessarily expect to see transparency rendered accurately. For example, in Mac OS 10.6.8, files with transparency are given a white background by the Finder. But those same files will look fine in Preview or when viewed using the Quick Look feature:
    I'd be really concerned, for example, if the transparency was not rendering in Dreamweaver's Design view, as that could interfere with the creative layout process. But I'd be less concerned if it doesn't appear in Bridge.
    That said, if it's been rendered correctly by Bridge in previous versions, I understand your concern. If the problem is localized to Bridge, I'd scour its preferences and interface for any relevant settings. I'd also consider whether your operating system has been updated recently.
    FOLLOW-UP: You could also take a look at the Bridge forum. Apparently, others have had concerns about this.

  • Serious problems with simultaneous Infinity and La...

    I'm now on my third order for the one instalation. The first two were cancelled by BT because of problems their end (though not before i waited in for a half day for the instalation engineer who never called to say he wasn't coming). As a result of BT trying to take over my landline, now i don't have a working landline or broadband.
    They advised me to cancel the second order, and i now find out that the result is a new instalation date 2.5 weeks away - which they say can't be brought forward! And all this without a working landline or internet broadband. They said that they could have expidited the second order, but because it was never going to work they had to cancell it. They also now tell me (after placing the third order) that because the new order is new, they can't expidite it, and all i can do is wait without any service for a further 2.5 weeks (the phone's been down 5 days already, and the internet 1 day already. Also, my current provider says that because they've raised the MAC key, they can't file a fault report, so i can't try to get the current contract working).
    I really can't belive that a company could be so incredibly awful! It's quite amazing, especially when contrasted with the spiel that's on their website about the process being simple, and that they care about their customers! They've litterally told me that they CAN'T expidite my case, but last friday when order no2 was still current, they said that they could get an infinity engineer round the next day.
    Incredible!
    Every time someone has said they'll call me back, they don't. And all of them talk about them 'taking ownership' of the problem, but it's all hot air!
    So as you can imagine, without a landline or internet (posting now by using the personal hotspot on my mobile) and them saying that all i can do is wait, it's making me very angry!
    Now that i've written this post, i'll try to contact the mods here on the boards, and see if they can get someone onto the case - though if anyone has any ideas, i'd be really grateful for the help!
    Cheers!

  • Syncing problems with iphone 3g and dell computer

    Whenever I connect my iphone to my computer, it recognizes it as a camera, not as a phone, and it asks me if I want to use microsoft word or another random program to see photos. itunes doesn't recognize it at all. How do I get itunes to recognize it?

    A couple of things that might help out.
    Open computer management by clicking on start and right clicking on my computer, then choose manage.
    When the computer management window opens, expand services and applications on the left.
    Click on services and see if Apple Mobile Device is running on the right.
    If it is not running, or is not set to automatic, try starting it.
    Also if apple mobile devise is not installed or will not start, this article might help out uninstalling and reinstalling itunes.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926?viewlocale=en_US
    If the apple mobile device is installed and will just not start, try uninstalling your security software.
    Once uninstalled, restart your computer.
    Once the computer is restarted, open computer management to see if apple mobile device will start.
    Hope this helps.
