Setup problem - Extreme no longer found by Mac

I'm trying to set up an Extreme base station and extend the network with an Express (and use airtunes). I had successfully set up airtunes, but the range was not being extended. After trying to change to a WDS arrangement, I now have a flashing amber light and the base stations are not found by my computer. I've unplugged everything but they are still not recognized.
Any suggestions? When I get home from work tonight, I'm going to reset to factory default and start over.
If anyone has an easy step-by-step to set up the network I described above, that would be great too.
Thanks!!

but the range was not being extended.
WiFi speed will also have been slower over network.
The speed wasn't the problem, it was the physical range of the network. I was one room away from the Express and had a lousy signal. As I moved closer to the Extreme the signal got stronger. That was when I tried to change to WDS and lost everything.
I had originally setup the Extreme, then told the Express to "Join an existing network." That worked for Airtunes, but did not extend the range. So I screwed something up when changing to WDS.
This time, I'll set up the Extreme, then manually configure the Express, both for WDS mode. Hopefully, that will work.
Yes, the setup guide has point by point instructions,
but the Airport Utility is a pretty seamless gui for
the process.
Not totally seamless - but I'll take some of the blame there!

I continue to receive "failed to mount" when trying to install .dmg files or updates. Has anyone found an answer to this problem? I am operating on Mac OS X 10.4.11

10.4.11 was only available as a PowerPC updater application (both as a Combo and as a Delta) to Macs with 10.4 or later that were PowerPC. If you don't have 10.4 installed on your Mac, see this tip:

I reset the password. As you instructed, but that was not enough to solve the problem.
To solve the problem I also did the following:
For my user name I included @me.com., but I'm not sure that made any difference.
I think the key to solving this was that I pushed past the error I got on the Outgoing Mail Server window. I wasn't sure I should do that but I was desperate:
Next I got this window and checked SSL.
That was it!
Finally I went into account preferences and checked the outgoing mail server settings to be sure the server port was correct. It was.
Thank you for your help.

I believe they discontinued all mobile.me accounts yesterday. It's been in the planning for a long time with lots of notification. I believe you can still get access to the e-mail from Tiger but you'd need to browse past discussions on this forum for details on how.

.mac account setup problem for iChat

I was setting up my sisters new iMac today and tried to setup iChat. So I went through the setup and told it to create a .mac account. It did but then would not accept the password. Tried it many times. So finally reset the password and same thing, it keeps saying the password is not valid. Finally set a completely different and much simpler password for the account but still says it's not a valid password.
I am wondering if this has something to do with the switch over from .mac to mobile me??
Any ideas?

Try setting up a free AIM account instead; it can be used with iChat for any purpose that the .Mac account can be used for except for encrypted chats.

Can no longer share my Mac to my windows PC

With 10.4, sharing my Mac to my windows PC was really easy. Now that I've installed 10.5, my PC can no longer see my mac's shared folders.
When I try to map network drive to \\192.168.1.4\shared_folder (for example), my PC just gives me an error that the "network path could not be found."
Yes, I read the online help and tried everything in "If you can’t connect to a Mac from a Windows computer"
For some reason, the systems preferences will not let me set a workgroup for my mac. I type in the workgroup name for the mac, and click save, and then when I go back to look at it again, it doesn't appear to have saved the workgroup name I typed in. So, if the workgroup name is the problem, I can't appear to fix it. why isn't it saving this information?
What the heck am I doing wrong?

To set up file sharing:
Choose Apple > System Preferences, and then click Sharing.
Select the File Sharing checkbox.
Users you have set up with accounts in Accounts preferences can access your computer by connecting to it over the network.
To refine user access to your computer and set up specific folders or volumes to share, click Add {+} at the bottom of the Folders list and select the folder you want to share.
To further refine user access, click Add {+} at the bottom of the Users list and select a user from Users & Groups (accounts you have set up in Accounts preferences), Network Users or your Address Book. Or click New Person and enter a name and password to create a sharing account. Select the user from the list and click Select.
After the user is in the list, use the triangles next to the user name to assign privileges for that use user (No Access, Read & Write, Read Only, or Write Only (Drop Box)).
Click Options and select the way you want to share your computer: using AFP, FTP, or SMB.
If Windows users will connect to your computer to share files, make sure SMB is selected, select the On checkbox next to the name of the account that will share your computer, and enter the password for that user.

Extreme no longer allows any wireless device (laptops, dvd, tv, printer, game concole, etc..) to connect to wireless network.

My Airport Extreme no longer will allow any wireless devices to connect to the internet. I have tried resetting and unplugging the device and the modem without any success. I only have internet access through a wired desktop connection. The desktop is running on windows 7 and 2 laptops are running on Windows 8. (This had been working for the past 8 or 9 months. The problem started last week.). I had my cable company reset the modem on their side and still no luck. Does anyone know how I can fix this issue. The Extreme has dropped the connection to the printer, dvd players, game consoles, ipads and iphones.

Open AirPort Utility, click on the AirPort Extreme, then click Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon, then click the Internet Connection tab
The setting for Connection Sharing should read Share a public IP address
If you change the setting, click Update at the lower right to save the new setting
Wait a minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart, then power off both the modem and AirPort Extreme
Wait at least 15 minutes
Power up the modem first and let it run for 5 minutes by itself
Power up the AirPort Extreme and let it runa few minutes
Check the network

My sound no longer works on Mac OS after installing a Boot Camp partition for Windows 7 x64.

I installed Windows 7 x64-Bit Professional Edition on my iMac Mid-2011 on Yosemite 10.10.2 through Boot Camp. I installed Windows 7 without any hitches and I proceeded to install an old PC game and I was able to run it just fine, I could here the audio perfectly. But, the next day, when I started my iMac on the Mac OS partition, the sound bar icon on the top right was greyed out. This problem began occurring after I restarted to the (original) Mac OS partition I've tried to check it out on System Preferences and Audio MIDI Setup. On Sys Prefs, it says, "No output devices found" and "No input devices found". On Audio MIDI Setup, it says,"No Devices Found on the System."When I go back to the Windows partition, I can hear audio just fine and I can even set the volume from my keyboard. I have already updated the necessary drivers on the Windows side. I've reset the PRAM and repaired the disk permissions with Disk Utility. Headphones don't work either but I can send audio through a bluetooth speaker that I have.

Hi 0day,
unfortunately you have to have the MacOS DVD to install the Boot Camp 3 (legally).
The 3.1 and 3.2 are upgrades to that (as you found out).

Airport Extreme no longer recognizes my Express when I try to password protect the network

When I try to protect my network with a password, my airport extreme no longer recognizes my airport express. How can I fix this so I can connect my network and still use my network for airtunes??

I think the initial problem is that your iPhone was connected to an open network that wasn't yours.
Go to Settings > WiFi and "Forget" the network created by that AirPort Extreme, it's older than dirt. Forget your neighbor's network also.
Perform the equivalent actions with your Mac: System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced... Delete every network that appears, including your own.
Then, connect to your own network on all your devices, after which you ought to be able to use any of them and configure your Extreme without any difficulty. You may need to start over with a "hard reset" on both the main AirPort Extreme and the one extending its network.
Does this have anything to do with the fact that 'Back to My Mac' is probably enabled?
Not exactly, but using iCloud Keychain will populate all your devices with the names of preferred networks that any of them connect to, no matter where they are. I don't know why Apple considers that a beneficial feature.

Bluetooth module no longer recognised in Mac Pro

My Mac Pro's been doing some strange things recently.
A couple of days ago I noticed things were running very slowly, just moving windows about they would jerk and jitter.
Tried hardware test, disk utility etc but no problems found. I then unplugged the machine and plugged it back in - problem solved.
Now today I started up the machine, go to login to my account and my keyboard and mouse don't work. They become initialised if I unplug and plug them back in, or if I wait about a minute they start working.
Along with this, my bluetooth module is no longer recognised under Mac OS X, although when I reboot my machine into Vista the module is recognised and functions correctly.
It also takes over minute to shut the machine down, which it has never done before. When turning it off the OS seems to quit quickly, but the screen remains black for a long time before the power is cut the the drive etc. (This is especially noticeable when restarting the machine as it takes more than twice what it has done in the past).
Is this all just coincidence that these things happened at the same time, or are they related?

Have you tried the standard debugging steps listed in the troubleshooting guides here and elsewhere?
You might try looking at http://www.thexlab.com and other websites like that for information about how to debug various problems.
If you are OK with opening your case, you can also reset the SMC controller on your motherboard, which can affect at least some of the subsystems you are having trouble with.
But first, you need to do more general diagnostics.
Run your MacOS hardware diagnostics by putting your OS boot CD in your optical drive, and hold the D key down when you boot.
You can also hold down C when booting and when the installer appears, go to the menu and run Disk Utility, and verify at least your primary drive.

Problems with Photoshop cs4 for the Mac

I am having all kinds of problems with Photoshop CS4 for the Mac. When I boot the software it seems to work for a while then, I am unable to open upf a file in Photoshop. I drag a photoshop file over the application icon, the whole screen flickers and nothing happens. I am unable to quit Photoshop as the quit choice is grayed out and command-q will not make it quit. I have to force quit. I can repeat this pattern over and over. What is happening? How do I solve this problem?
--Kenoli

Thanks for the reply. I am using Photoshop 11.0.1. I am using the latest version of Snow Leopard. I have found both Photoshop and Dreamweaver to be pretty buggy for several versions now. My suspicions were that they were really engineered for Windows and never really fully implemented for the Mac. Dreamweaver crashes or hangs on me three or four times a day if I us it all day and does various annoying things like refusing to respond to the delete key after I have used it for a while. I have pretty much stopped using it to some degree for that reason and also because there is other software that does a lot of coding things I do much more directly and simply. Also Dreamweaver always seems to struggle to quit when I tell it to quit (that is, it takes a long time and gets hung up at places before it quits) and once it does quit, I always get a message saying that it has unexpectedly quit (even when I have told it to quit).
The problems with Photoshop (starting with just taking a long time to load) have escalated to the point I described today, which makes it almost unusable. I just reinstalled Snow Leopard to see if there was anything buggy in the system software. I will report if problems go away.
Regarding both the refusal to open image files and the grayed out quit command, made me think something like you, i.e. there was some dialogue box open somewhere. However, I couldn't find anything and I don't use two monitors.
So . . . Adobe just seems to be getting more expensive and more buggy.
Incidentally, why is it still running in Rosetta rather than natively? Adobe now has a real Intel processor to work with.

Problems with the new Pages for Mac

I'm starting to see countless problems running the new Pages for Mac (5.0.1) and I can't find a way to resolve them.
1. when I'm typing and want to delete word(s), I'll use the alt+delete function for ease, however this starts deleting words after the cursor, merging words together and changing my sentece. It comes from when I'm deleting as the new pages is giving me the dropdown menu for the autocorrect word.
2. grammar check is off. Namely, it picks a random point in a word and moves on from there. EX: "because of the" will have "use of the" underlined in green and give me recommendations to change to "because of the" or "cause of the". Using those recommendations, I'll end up with something like: "becabecause of the"
3. the find and replace function jumps around in the paper, and sometimes doesn't even display the word currently selected (leaving the user to scroll around looking for what is selected)
4. Autocorrect has vanished for some reason: no autocapitalization, no turning fractions such as 1/2 into a tidy and neat fraction with small numbers for numerators/denominators, etc.
I'm still using it, and these are what I have found, so there may be more later as I continue to use it. If anyone has found ways around these bugs, please let me know.
Thanks!

Pages 5 now uses the system autocorrect, which does not have as many features as the one inside Pages 4. Some things you can add manually there. Others you have to ask Apple to add via
http://www.apple.com/feedback
Or continue to use Pages 4 instead.

Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, try this a few times if necessary. If still problem, you may have to just Restore your iPhone to get it working. In the future sync your iPhone with iTunes routinely and when it contains important data, iCloud when set correctly will do this for you continuously.

I have a mac computer 3.2 Ghz intel core i3 with memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3, I have recently purchased an new macbook and have yosemite software and iCloud . I can no longer us my mac to open up recent numbers documents from my macbook. I am unable to upgrade to allow me to get the current numbers version on my mac. What do I need to do to get all my machines woking in harmony again

On each machine turn on iCloud and sync all the available apps. Apple explains how to set up iCloud in http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
After doing this run software update on each machine and install all the suggested updates. If you still need help installing the most up-to-date versions of iLife and iWorks open the Mac App Store - click the Purchased tab and update all that need to be updated.

A have new problem that has appeared in my Mac Mail. When I type a frequently used email into the 'To: line' it populates the correct name but with 8 different email addresses not associated with that name. I have gone to the window pop-down to 'previous recipients' and deleted that addressee as well as all the email addresses it is assigning to that name. I have also deleted the account entirely from my address book. I have have run repair permissions and also full defrag in iDefrag. Still the problem persists. Any suggestions?

Hello CarolineLongEaton,

I have a similar problem and if you have had yours solved since this occurance how you accomplished it may help me with mine. I am interested to know what you have done about yours.
If you are interested in comparing the problems to see if your solution (if you have found one) might help me also then here is the link to the discussion.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6116927
If your problem has not been solved then I will comment here again if/when my issue is resolved as it may help you too. My hope here is that we may help each other. To quote you "all ideas gratefuly recieved". I hope your problem was resolved, ernestly for your sake and selfishly for mine also. I wish you and yours a great day!
