MyComputerGuyJo:
I just wanted to add what Apple Support walked me through. Worked perfectly. Similar to some of the posts here. This assumes you have finished the setup of the Airport using DHCP to obtain the IP automatically from Comcast and it says the IP is invalid.
Power off\on Sequence
1, Power off Comcast Modem. Remove Battery back up, if it has one. Disconnect the coax cable.
2. Power off Airport Extreme
3. Let both sit for 3 minutes.
4. Reconnect coax cable to Comcast modem and replace battery and power up.
5. Wait a minute or two to make sure the Comcast modem is completely up and then Power on the Airport Extreme.

Freyfisher: I had the same problem whenn I switched to the Airport Extreme yesterday. Here is what I did:
1: uplugged modem for 30 sec. and detached all ethernet cables. Plugged back in and reattached airport extreme cable after all lights were solid on the modem. Then, I went into Airport Utility and selected, "Base Station"> "restore default settings". Then" Base Station"> Restart. Then go through setup assistant again. If no luck, try setting IPv4 to 10.0.1.2, subnet to 255.255.255.0, router to 10.0.1.1. IPv6 set to OFF if having trouble. DNS adresses: 75.75.75.75, 75.75.76.76, search domain hsd1.ST.comcast.net where "ST" is your two-letter State abbrev. Hope this helps someone....

I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build. The same call works fine when running on the device (iPhone) using debug build. When running with a release build, the result handler is never called (nor is the fault handler called). Viewing the BlazeDS logs in debug mode, the call is received and send back with data. I've narrowed it down to what seems to be a data size issue.
I have targeted one specific data call that returns in the String value a string length of 44kb, which fails in the release build (result or fault handler never called), but the result handler is called as expected in debug build. When I do not populate the String value (in server side Java code) on the object (just set it empty string), the result handler is then called, and the object is returned (release build).
The custom object being returned in the call is a very a simple object, with getters/setters for simple types boolean, int, String, and one org.23c.dom.Document type. This same object type is used on other other RemoteObject calls (different data) and works fine (release and debug builds). I originally was returning as a Document, but, just to make sure this wasn't the problem, changed the value to be returned to a String, just to rule out XML/Dom issues in serialization.
I don't understand 1) why the release build vs. debug build behavior is different for a RemoteObject call, 2) why the calls work in debug build when sending over a somewhat large (but, not unreasonable) amount of data in a String object, but not in release build.
I have't tried to find out exactly where the failure point in size is, but, not sure that's even relevant, since 44kb isn't an unreasonable size to expect.
By turning on the Debug mode in BlazeDS, I can see the object and it's attributes being serialized and everything looks good there. The calls are received and processed appropriately in BlazeDS for both debug and release build testing.
Anyone have an idea on other things to try to debug/resolve this?
Platform testing is BlazeDS 4, Flashbuilder 4.7, Websphere 8 server, iPhone (iOS 7.1.2). Tried using multiple Flex SDK's 4.12 to the latest 4.13, with no change in behavior.
Thanks!After a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList. Changing it to List resolved the problem.
I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid. And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger. Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me. -
I just bought the new MacBook Air a few days ago and my Internet connection is so slow. My iPhone's connection works fine when connected to the wifi but the MacBook connects for a few seconds then drops completely. What do I do? I tried connecting it to my phone's hotspot and it works perfectly. I'm a new Mac user so I have no idea what to do. I have Comcast xfinity cable and Internet. Thanks for the help.

I am not able to open any app on my iphone. While i'm trying to open an app it just shake the screen and it does not open and remains in the same screen. It worked fine until I charged the phone this evening. After that suddenly I'm facing this. Please can anyone help me to recover this issue? pls!
This is covered in the basics section.
A restore loses nothing.
A restore does. If you are using the iphone as designed, then everything should be on your computer. -
I have the newer version of the macbook pro and I have read the directions on how to authorize your computer to let you download previous song purchases from icloud onto your laptop, but I cannot find where it says "authorize this computer" at all. I have looked for it everywhere and still cannot find it. Please help!
Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us. -
so what do i have to do now? i think i just bought a new paper weight. but i am connected to the internet but the ethenet through the airport extreme.
When changing/adding/replacing network equipment, it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of all your equipment to make sure that they are communicating properly with each other.
Please try the following:
Power-down the modem, AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), and computer(s); wait at least 10-15 minutes. Note: The power-down order is not critical.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize and establish an Internet connection via your ISP.
Power-up the AEBS; wait at least 5-10 minutes or until its status light is a solid green.
Power-up the computer(s). Your computers should now be able to access the Internet connected either by wire or wireless to the AEBS.
Note: The AEBS may continue to have a flashing amber status light. This would, most likely, mean that it requires additional configuration changes, like setting up wireless security or a newer version of firmware is available. -
Uverse - Airport Extreme and MacBook Pro assigned same IP address
Ok, so I have a Uverse RG -> Airport Extreme -> bunch of computers. For some reason, everytime my MacBook Pro sleeps and then I wake it up, it says it can't connect to the internet because there is another device with the same IP address. None of my other Macs (iMac, Powerbook, iPad, iPhones) ever exhibit this behavior. I'm not sure what's going on here. It's almost like the AE takes on the IP address of the MacBook Pro every time it sleeps (or maybe its the other way around). If I go to advanced settings on my MBP and try and renew the DHCP lease, it won't renew and continues to give me the same error message. If I log on to the AE and renew the DHCP lease, it comes back just perfect. This has to be an issue with my RG since it's assigning the IP addresses right? I tried manually setting the IP address of my AE. That seemed to fix it for awhile, but then the MBP again started reporting the same IP address as another device on the network. I didn't discover which device it was, but I did determine it was not the AE since it was configured with a manual IP address. This is getting pretty frustrating as I have to log on to the AE and reset the DHCP lease every time I leave and come back to my MBP. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?
I had the same problem with an Airport-enabled iMac.
Here's what I did that fixed the problem:
Log into the Uverse Admin Tool through your browser.
Click on the Settings tab.
Click on the LAN link in the grey bar
Click the circle in front of "Configure Manually"
Set the "Router Address" to 192.168.1.254
Set "Subnet Mask" to 255.255.255.0
Set "First DHCP Address" to 192.168.1.100
Set "Last DHCP Address" to 192.168.1.199
Click the "Save" button. (You'll probably have to enter your password.)
Now open the Airport Utility.
Choose your Airport Express on the left and click the "Manual Setup" button.
Click the "Internet" icon in the top bar.
Click on "TCP/IP"
Select "Manually"
Set "IP Address" to 192.168.1.42
Set "Subnet Mask" to 255.255.255.0
Set "Router Address" to "192.168.1.254"
Set "DNS Server" to "192.168.1.254"
Click the "Update" button.
This sets your Uverse router, which is handing out the IPs, to only give IPs out that number between 100 and 199. It reserves the rest for you to enter manually. So your laptop, your iPhone, etc, will get the DHCP addresses between 100 and 199 but your Airport Express will *always* have 42.
You may have to reboot everything to make sure each device gets the new IPs.
Also, there is no significance to the 42 number. It can be anything between 1 and 99. -
Airport Extreme wired network can't assign IP address, but wireless works
*Problem details:*
We have three computers intermittently on, wired into the ethernet LAN managed by the Airport Extreme.
We have a few more computers that connect to the wireless network managed by the same Airport Extreme.
As far as I know, no fancy settings hijinks have been attempted. I manage the router, and I only plugged the Airport into the cable modem and connected all the wires to the computers. The WiFi setup went a similar way -- I just turned it on and it sorted itself out. This was eight months ago, mind you -- everything has been going quite well up until this weekend.
But! I got home from a trip this weekend to discover that all the machines that connected over the wired network could no longer get a connection to the internet. Any machine connected over the wireless network, however, was working just fine. Indeed, my macbook pros couldn't even see the Airport Extreme when I turned off their WiFi, connected them over Ethernet and opened the Airport Extreme configuration app!
The wired machines complain that they have a self-assigned IP address. Sometimes, after resetting everything, they look like everything's fine for a moment. Like I said, ordinarily my macbook pro does not even recognize the router over the wired network. However, after reverting to factory defaults and restarting the Airport, the laptop did see it (until a few minutes went by and it realized something was wrong).
I figured that renewing my DHCP lease would fix this problem, but it did not. Nor did turning off Passive FTP Mode (PASV) under Proxies in the Network configuration pane.
I have tried resetting the router to factory defaults, power cycling the modem and router in various configurations, etc. but nothing has worked. In addition, I have verified that connecting any machine to the ethernet directly from the modem will work, so the problem is definitely being introduced by the Airport Extreme.
So I guess my question is: what do I have to poke to return everything to normal? I'd like working wired and wireless networks again.
*Some last few details:*
The Airport is running 7.5.2, but downgrading to 7.4.2 produced no tangible difference.
I have an Ubee D3.0 modem. All lights are green and blinky except the DS light, which is solid amber (and it is green when the modem is wired directly to one of my computers -- it's only amber when connected to the Airport).
Some of the machines that can't connect to the wired network are PCs, so it's not just an OSX thing.
My roommate's XBOX 360 can connect to the internet over the wired port. It doesn't have WiFi, so I'm pretty sure there's no way it could be fooling me.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can muster.
EDIT FOR APOLOGIES:
I didn't realize I was posting this in the "Airport for Windows" section. While a Windows computer's connection is a concern, I would much rather get my Macs online and deal with that first. I can't figure out how to move the message myself.*An update:*
Several days later, this issue seems to have fixed itself. I suspect there may have been Funny Business on my ISP's end (but then again, it's an ISP). -
New MBP Retina wifi is awful - even with bluetooth off! But works fine when using Ubuntu 13.04
Hello - I've recently as of last week - purchased a new Macbook Pro Retina.
I've dual booted it with Ubuntu 13.04.
The wifi is terrible when logged into the OSX. However, works fine in Ubuntu! I've tried turning bluetooth off as suggested in many forums, but to no avail.
Any idea - my first Mac too, so I'm trying hard not to give up and just return it for something else!
ThanksWas the OS X wifi terrible before or after you installed Linux?
Linux is not a Apple approved operating system for running on Mac's.
The open source community has a different philosphy than commerical companies like Apple or Microsoft, it might be that your OS X wifi drivers was surplanted with those from Linux and thus OS X can't recognize them and defaulted to a more basic mode of a slower speed.
Apple doesn't provide drivers publically for Mac's, so it's some third party hacker, with quesitonable skills and non-communication with Apple, that's providing the drivers. So there is a problem there, which I've found out about myself when installing Linux on older Mac's.
I advise Linux and other non-approved operating systems to be run in a virtual machine program instead.
Install Windows or Linux into VirtualBox
Unfortuntly to fix your system and uninstall Linux, which is designed to be installed on generic PC's, is to erase your ENTIRE boot drive, including the hidden EFI parititon where Linux installs it's swap file.
I suggest you take your machine into Apple and tell them what you did. -
I paid $250 for the first generation apple tv and wonder if there's any new features to make it worth upgrading to the latest apple tv. What am I missing?
Thanks, TziporaThe new one has no hard drive instead it has 8GB of solid state memory.
You can't sync to it as a consequence. It uses less energy, is smaller and doesn't get hot enough to fry an egg.
You lose analogue video/audio out. It's HDMI/optical only.
No mopre iTunes LP/Extras functionality. No sending audio to Airtunes speakers fro AppleTV.
The new one has a more powerful processor and can handle 720p 30fps which the old one couldn't and higher bitrates. It tends to be more responsive going through menus but I prefer ATV1's way of sorting things and interface in general.
You lose the ability to up/downscale video output to anything other than 720p. Output if fixed to 720p.
It's still evolving. To my mind it's more an iPhone/iPad accessory / iTunes rental vehicle with some US centric (on the whole) novelties - Netflix, American football feeds may appeal to US users, but no use if you can't get Netflix in your country.
The game keeps changing and iCloud features will enhance it's functionality but currently possibly only in US. iCloud may let users play their purchases across the internet rather than from local storage - could be gtreat if it works but only provided things remain available in the store.
US had TV Show rentals as well as Movie rentals, but TV Show rentals have been scrapped.
You couldn't purchase anything at all on it until recently, and that's probably only TV Shows and only in the US currently. No browsing music or music videos.
iphones/iPads can use the Airplay feature to send video/audio across wi-fi to the AppleTV but personally I'm not that impressed by it.
Vimeo has been added recently to complement YouTube, Flickr, MobileMe (end of line anyway).
It's a mixed bag really - suits some people down to the ground, has limitations for others.

What happened to the original iTunes that I just got the way I wanted it, with millions of tunes on it??????
Hello b dean jones,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. I found an article that lists the default locations for iTunes files:

I have AirPort Extreme and cannot connect to the internet with a land line but the WiFi works
I have an AirPort Extreme and have been using for several months successfully, but as of two weeks ago, the line that I have hooked up to my desktop no longer provides internet service, but the WiFi works fine for the I-Pad and I-Pod.
I have checked with my service provider and my modem works successfully hooked up the the AirPort extreme or directly to the PC. When I am hooked in from the modem directly to my PC, I have internet for my desktop, but of course no WiFi.
If I connect the Modem to the Router and the router to my desktop, I have WiFi, but no internet service to my desktop.
I have replaced the network cable but to no avail.
Any suggestions?It appears that there may be something amiss with the Ethernet switch that is built-in the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) or its configuration settings may be incorrect. I assume that you also tried using the other LAN ports on the AEBSn and the outcome was the same ... no Internet access via a wired connection.
One thing to try is to change the Ethernet adapter settings on the PC. It is possible that its current settings may be appropriate when connected directly to the Internet modem, but may be off for connecting to the AEBSn. If your PC's Ethernet adapter has options to control Speed, Duplex, & MTU, I would change these to the following respectively: 1000 Mbps, Full duplex, & 1500 -
I have a new airport extreme and can't set ip up
Hello, first of all I have to say that I'm from Argentina so forgive my English mistakes.
I recently bought an airport extreme and I can't set it up with the airport utility. I have windows 8, I download the Airport Utility and a message says that an error occurred while trying to access the apple device. The Airport has flashing amber light. And I read the manual in English and Spanish and could not find the solution.
I can access internet but only with this laptop and in unsecured way.
Please, someone can tell me what to do.
Thanks.Be sure that you've installed Bonjour Print Services for Windows:

Connect the AirPort Extreme directly to your Windows 8 computer by Ethernet cable and then run AirPort Utility. -
I have been using a Mac Mini with an external hard and Time Machine. I bought an Airport Extreme and have had problem setting up the hard drive using the USB port on the Airport Extreme. I also just recently bought a Mac Book Air and hope to have both computers back up to the external hard drive using Time Machine and Airport Extreme. I have been using the optical drive from the Mac mini to load programs into the Mac Book Air. I think I'm just getting confused in Finder. I am just not seeing the hard drive. I ended up plugging the hard drive back into the Mac Mini and that is work fine again. How do I setting the external hard drive up to the AirPort Extreme and use for both computers? Or at least to start with the Mac mini.
It's critical to understand that Time Machine (TM) stores backups differently between local and network drives. That would mean the TM backup on your locally attached USB hard drive will not be directly useable when it is connected to the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS). There is a way to copy a local version to a network version, but it is not fool-proof. When you do connect this drive and point TM to it, TM will start a brand new backup, leaving your existing backup as is.
If your current backup is critical to you, you may want to consider getting a second USB drive to attach to the Extreme and use your existing one as a backup ... or use TM's multi-backup process to backup to more than one destination drive alternatively.
So, at this point, you may want to make a decision on how you want to go forward to help provide a solution for you.
To directly answer your question, when you go to select a destination for a Time Machine backup, the drive(s) that show up under "Backup Disks" are those that TM already recognizes and has backed up to. Those listed under "Available Disks" are drives (either local or on the network) that TM can back up to. -
New Airport Extreme and iPhone Issues
I've had the networking day from ****. I previously had a 3rd Gen Time Capsule at our restaurant, connected to a Cisco 26port gigabit POE switch and Comcast digital voice and internet. Over the past few days, employees have reported trouble accessing the the Wifi network. After several restarts and firmware upgrades (including the dreaded "firmware problem" to fine update), nothing worked. I changed channels, back to auto, back to specific channels, back to auto. Made open guest networks. Nothing worked consistently. My iPhone might connect and my friend's might not. Nor his laptop consistently. Our Axis network cameras might take a bit extra time to connect. All quite random and quite frustrating.
So I swap out an older Airport Extreme (4th gen I believe) using the same configuration as the TC (Time Capsule). It works fine, except for the last port not working as expected. No matter, I plug the mac mini into the Cisco switch and off we go. Nevertheless, I'm still told we are suffering random Wifi issues. So I buy a brand new AE (5th gen) today to replace that one. Should work like a charm I thought. Right....
Several hours later, I finally have the new AE working, but only after doing several hard resets/factory restores, the works. For some reason, the mac mini could not successfully update any of the connected AEs - whether connected directly into the same AE, or if the Mini was connected to the switch. Nothing worked. Every time I tried to update the AE, it would hang and force me to unplug and plug it back in. It would also never save setting changes. I finally resorted to a friend's macbook to be able to restore it successfully. And once that worked, the mini was able to update the AE flawlessly. Our Point of Sales (POS) machines connect fine, our cameras connect fine, wifi printer connects, and the mini connects, and everything has internet.
Except my iPhone 5. Of course. It gets a signal fine (full bars). It gets an IP address. But I can't surf the web. Or download email. Or iMessages. Anything. No internet access. I try hard restarts on my iphone. I try assigning IP addresses by MAC address. I try resetting the AE. I try renaming the WiFi name. Nothing. I can make a guest network that works (on a different IP table, btw - 172, not 192.) But other than that, no access. Grrrr.
So I have a "working" AE router where some devices successfully connect (through wifi and ethernet) and some dont' (wifi iPhone). My iPhone connects fine to my home TC. So shouldn't be anything to do with that. But I'm at a loss. I'm going to go back and restore everything and power cycle everything tonight or tomorrow night. I don't know if that will help, but it's worth a try. Lord knows it feels like I've tried everything else.
Anyone have any good ideas of where to start besides voodoo dolls and baseball bats?I took mine back, because I was having these very same issues. We use contivity too. I was able to connect only to one of three of the servers we manage (in Europe). I couldn't connect to the servers in Asia or here in the USA.
Replaced the Airport Extreme with my trusty old d-link 624, and no issues connecting to any of the three hubs.
Otherwise, I liked the Airport Extreme, and I'll consider buying it again when and if they address this VPN issue. I work at home so its obviously a "deal breaker" for me.
