Snow Airport works fine -- but no wireless

I've got an intermittent problem (the best kind, right?) with my Snow ABS: a couple times in the last few weeks, it appears to simply stop putting out a wireless signal. One of my machines is ethernet-wired to it, and so I know that it's working fine in every other way (connecting to my DSL modem via PPPoE, controllable via the Airport Utility, etc.). But there's just zero signal for the network it's supposed to be creating, even when I'm right next to it.
The last time I "fixed" this, I didn't actually do anything: it just came back suddenly, seemingly without intervention. Do I have a slowly-dying ABS?
Or can anyone suggest something I should try? I've rebooted it, making small changes to the network settings to make sure it's writing the configuration OK; I've unplugged it for over an hour. Any other ideas for how I can troubleshoot and diagnose this?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Well, based on the description of your Snow's problems and the steps you have already taken (resets, power-cycling, etc.) it's quite possible that the wireless circuitry is either pending failure or has completely failed. If that's the case, although there may be the option to have it repaired, it'll probably be best to replace it.

I have a pc running windows 7. I got an Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi and the printer is now plugged into the Airport. The wireless router works fine but the printer shows as offline in control panel and in word. The printer is a HP LaserJet CP1525nw.

+For now I have it set to Share Public IP address - Is this correct for my Network Setup with The Airport Extreme being the only router being used ?+
This would be the correct setting if the AirPort Extreme is connected to a simple modem (one ethernet port).

5 GHz name indicates that you have elected to use the option to assign a separate name to the 5 GHz network. This will allow you to "tell" compatible computers to connect to that network, rather than the slower 2.4 GHz network
Use Wide Channels is recommended for 5 GHz operation.
Interference Robustness often does more harm than good and should not be used unless you know you are in a area with a lot of wireless networks and you feel that your network is experiencing interference issues from a nearby network.

After connecting Ooma phone service, my airport still works fine but yellow light constantly flashes. Should I be concerned?

After connecting Ooma phone service, my airport works fine, but it constantly blinks yellow. Should I be concerned?

You will get error messages in the airport utility..
Please go to the utility and click on the red circle on the airport. It should have a number in it.. which will be the number of issues you have.. eg double NAT.
If you previously had the Airport setup as main NAT in the network.. the ooma device just took over.. so you need to redo the setup of the airport to have a subsidiary role.
If you don't understand the issues list them for us.. but certainly adding the ooma is not going to go without effect.

You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
Seriously? It's physically broken!

Can not connect the ipad 2 to wireless router. been working fine but some reason not working now being trying to solve this since 4pm today

Can anyone help can not get my ipad to connect to wireless today. has been working fine but all of a sudden will not connect to Router. I have a kindle and a mobile and both of these will connect to the router wireless but the ipad will not.
Been to my parents with the i pad and this will connect to their wireless router.
Can not think of anything else to try

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Also try this - Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

I recently installed a new Airport WIFI on my I-Book G-4. Works fine, but the WIFI doesn't automatically come on after the PC sleeps. How to fix??

My new WIFI works fine, but doesn't automatically give me a WIFI connection when I "power up" or even after the PC sleeps. I probably skipped a step in the installation process, but don't know which one. I gone back thru the installation process a couple of times, but still no luck. I've had a WIFI previously on this IBook G4 and it worked automatically. This is easy to get going after "sleep," but after powering back up it more difficult, since the name is no longer in the WIFI airport list. HELP??

Have you tried System Preferences/Network Pane. Click on Airport and then click the options bar next to the show status in the menu bar. At the top of the next window is a a question "if no recent networks are found". Click and select the automatic choice. It may work.

Suddenly, I am unable to add photos to my project in Imovie 11. I have an IMac Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and have made several movies where this worked fine but for some reason, it has quit. Everything seems to be working fine except that?

I'm an oldtimer and have had this Mac for less than 2 yrs and have LOTS to learn - but I've climbed the curve a little. !'ve made several movies and published to YouTube and burned to disc using IDVD with reasonably good results. Each time I have added stills to my movies it has worked fine - but tonight, I'm suddenly unable to add them. I click "Photos" - select my photo - left click the photo and drag into the project while holding the click. Have the green "+" and the green highlight and even get the green vertical bar in the project but when I release the click, the photo simply disappears! One "clue" here may be this: I was able to add one still to this project and the only diff between it and the other still thumbnails now is that there is a "green check mark" on the thumbnail of the one successfully added. Any suggestions? (I do have the "advanced tools" option selected in IMovie Preferences.)
Thank you so much for any help at all.

Hi
My first thoughts are
• iMovie ill behaving - Trash the iMovie pref file - use to set things right
• in reg. to Photos - Did You change iPhoto Photo Library - Then iMovie get's lost as it peeks into iPhoto on start up to see where photos are stored. Set iPhoto back to first Photo Library (when iMovie is not running) then start iMovie.

How can I create a start up disk for a old intel core duo running 10.5.8.. Computer works fine, but can't find install disk.

How can I create a start up disk for a old intel core duo running 10.5.8.. Computer works fine, but can't find install disk. Want to use internal disk drive or USD flash drive.

Try calling 1-800-676-2775. Give the serial number and thy *may* still burn you new install disks designed just for the hrdware in your system (for a fee, something like $160 per disk). *May* is only because they may not burn disks for Leopard anymore.
If they do not burn them for you, you can buy Leopard disks off Amazon or eBay for about $200.
Have you considered Snow Leopard?. Those disks only cost $19 (single user) or $29 (5-user license) through Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE.

New AEBS installed, Vonage initially worked fine, but now is not.

I recently upgraded my home network, ditching the Linksys WRT54G router I had in favor of a new Airport Extreme Base Station. everything has been working fine, but all of a sudden I noticed that my Vonage adapter wasn't connected and was spitting out error 001.
The Vonage adapter is plugged into a 10/100 hub that's uplinked to one of the LAN ports on the AEBS (I know it's a waste, but nothing on that segment is gigabit capable…)
I launched into full troubleshooting mode, and determined that the cabling, hub and AEBS are all functioning perfectly. I also don't think that it could be a port forwarding issue, since several days passed between the time I swapped in the AEBS and the time when the Vonage adapter stopped working. In that time, several incoming and outgoing calls took place over the Vonage line and all was fine.
On a whim, I connected the Vonage adapter to a laptop and set it up with a static IP and attempted to configure port forwarding to it in the AEBS, but there was no change. Incidentally, with the static IP on the Vonage adapter, I was able to ping it from other computers on the network, but it still isn't able to download it's config from the outside world.
Vonage tech support has been willing to help, but unable to tell me anything useful thus far.
My question is, is anyone here using such a setup, and if so have you seen any issues like this? I'm really thinking that the adapter has given up the ghost, but I don't know.

I had Vonage. Initially it worked then I had tremendous voice dropouts. After weeks of troubleshooting with Vonage (they rolled back firmware in their adapter) it worked... for about 6 months. Then the same problem reappeared. Troubleshooting with Vonage could not solve the issue this time. Since I had to have phone service, I cancelled Vonage and went to ITP. Unfortunately Vonage stuck me with cancellation fees even though their service would not work for me.

HT3819 My new Apple TV works fine but turns off Home sharing at regular intervals. This requires me to re-enter my itunes password and start over again. It is not my computer. I've checked and home share is still on in itunes. Any advice on where I should

I just installed Apple TV. Works fine but turrns itself off at regular intervals of about 30 minutes. This requires me to re-enter my Apple ID and re-start all over again. Wjen I check iTunes on my computer, home sharing is still turned on. THis leads me to think the problem is in how I configured Apple TV on my HDTV. Any advice on where I should look?
THanks in advance.

I have had no luck. After an hour with phone tech support I have re-installed the current Apple TV software update., re-booted the entire system three times., checked each of my two Airport Express's.,unplugged and re[plugged in every cable, ad infinitum, ad nauseum and still no luck. I have also decided iTunes 11 *****. Not near as intuitive especially with regard to moving stuff around between my playlists, etc.
Alright guys, is this a problem because of iTunes 11? Is Apple releasing stuff before adequate debugging? Did Steve take his high standards with him?
