Airport Extreme set-up - Ethernet connection ok but wifi connection doesn't see the internet

I'm trying to set-up a new (5th Gen) Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi to replace an existing TRENDnet router.
It's connected to a Motorola cable modem with Optimum internet service.
When I hard wire my laptop (Windows) through ethernet I get internet access. However when I try to connect via wi-fi on the laptop the Airport Utility displays 2 errors: Internet not available and No DNS server.
When I try to connect my ipad, when I select the Wi-fi network I see the network and it tries to connect but continues to cycle, with the wi-fi icon appearing in the top line then disappearing before returning. In the Airport utility on the iPad I see the same issues listed as on the laptop.
In the airport utility under the internet connection, "Connect using" is set to "ethernet" and "connection sharing" is set to "Off(Bridge mode)"
Appreciate any help.
thanks

I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
Power-up the base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, computers connected to the base station, either by wire or wireless (as appropriate for the base station type), should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options.

If your computer doesn't see the phone when you plug it in, you may have to take it to an Apple Store.

Hello. I would like to activate my CS3 Educational Program (version 2007) on my new computer. Unfortunatly he is not accepting my serial number. What can I do? I have delated the program on my old computer but it doesn't accept the activation on the new laptop.

Make sure you are using the correct serial number. Find your serial number quickly
If you did not deactivate the original installation then it is possible your two allowed activations have been used and you need to reset your activation count. To do that you need to contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations. If you ask for more than that they will tell you they cannot offer you any support.

How can I transfer my pictures off an old iPod touch to my new computer if it doesn't recognized the device??

How can I transfer my pictures off an old iPod touch to my new computer if it doesn't recognized the device??

- Does the iPod work?
- If you have a PC, it just has to appear in My Computer to get pohtos saved to the iPod. Those are in iPod's Saved Photos) album into a computer
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- If the photos were synced to the computer you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or Phone view to get to to a computer.

Computer thinks it is connected to the internet when it's not

I posted this in the "Using your PowerBook" category, but I realized it may have to do with internet and networking than anything else. So I thought I'd put it here too.
When logging into my account on my PowerBook, I get the spinning colored wheel and the menu bar takes over a minute to come up. The dock comes up right away, and the status icons (i.e. battery meter, AirPort indicator, Bluetooth, etc...) load at their normal speed. But I get no menu bar, no desktop icons, and no little black triangle under the Finder icon for over a minute. I can click icons on the dock, but nothing will come up until the menu bar has loaded and the colored wheel disappears. After this everything works fine. Applications are plenty fast. I can fast switch between accounts and mine will come back fairly quickly. However, as soon as I actually log out of my account and then log back in, it goes very slowly again. Everyone's account on the computer does the same thing.
I have noticed that the problem only occurs when I am connected to my wireless network at home and the Linux machine which serves as the gateway/router for my network is not connected to the internet. However, this is the case most of the time because I can't get high-speed internet in my area, so I'm stuck with dial-up.
I have a similar problem with iTunes 6.0.4 on my Power Mac G5 Quad running OS X 10.4.6. The G5 is connected to my wireless router with an ethernet cable and whenever the Linux box isn't online and I put a CD into the computer, iTunes spends a minute plus trying the query the online database for the CD info and won't display the CD until the operation times out. However, if I unplug the ethernet cable, the CD comes up instantly. I guess the OS assumes that it is connected to the internet as long as an ethernet cable is plugged in and it has an IP address. The G5 has no login problems though.
This makes me think that the same thing is going on with my PowerBook, because whenever I turn off AirPort, logins become much faster. I don't think the problem has anything to do with my AirPort card however, because logins are just as fast with it on, as long as my Linux machine is connected to the internet. My theory is that something is trying to access the internet at login because it thinks it has a connection, and it is holding everything else up until the operation times out. Does anyone have any clues as to what could be the culprit?
This may sound crazy but I'm pretty sure I first noticed the login problem on my Powerbook after upgrading it to iTunes 6. That might have been a coincidence though because I also upgraded the OS to 10.3.9 right around that time. I can't remember in what order, but the problem with iTunes on my G5 makes me suspicious because I know that problem started with the iTunes upgrade. Strangely, I don't have the iTunes problem on my PowerBook even though I'm running the same version thats on my G5. I guess it's the difference between Panther and Tiger.
I've tried everything from a permissions repair to a clean erase and install in an effort to fix the login problem on my PowerBook. After I restored the the original 10.3 that shipped with it, the problem seemed to vanish, but as soon I a ran Software Update and installed the latest version of everyting, the problem resurfaced. Unfortunately I didn't realize the correlation between the problem and my internet connection at the time, so it may have been just a coincidence.
I've tried bringing the PowerBook in to the Genius Bar at my local Mac store several times and the problem seemed to mysteriously disappear whenever I tried to demonstrate it there. Now I realize that was probably because I was not connected to my home network where the computer thought it was online when it really wasn't. I'm planning to bring them both in again when I get the chance, but "Geniuses" are few and far between at the Genius Bar and you have to get the right person in order to get anywhere. I was hoping someone out there might know how to solve these problems. Can anyone help?

Believe it or not, that article helped me find a temporary solution. After reading it I realized that the problem did have to do with my DNS settings. I had taken the DNS settings that my ISP gives me when I dial up and plugged them into the configuration for my AirPort card. This apparently caused a problem because, although my wireless network is always on, it's not always connected to the internet. So those DNS settings were invalid most of the time.
I found that as long as I leave the area for DNS servers blank, the computer logs in normally. This further confirms my suspicion that something was trying to access the internet at login. I guess as long as I don't specify any DNS servers, the computer realizes it doesn't have an internet connection through my AirPort card.
So I just created two network locations: one for when my network is connected to the internet and one for when it isn't. In the first, I kept my original DNS settings because they work as long as I have an internet connection. In the second I did not specify any DNS servers. This seems to work fine, but I'd still like to know what is trying to access the internet at login. I've disabled the automatic update feature in all my programs that have it, but that doesn't seem to help the slowdown at login. Does anyone know how I could figure out what program is trying to access the internet?

I have prepared an 82 page book on iPhoto, ready to buy. There is a message over about half the photos saying "drag photo to place in background" as if it doesn't see the photo already there. I have spent over 20 hours getting to this point and can't bear to start over! Its a Mac 08X 10.6.8 and iPhoto 08 7.1.5. I have made other iBooks on this software and computer with no problems. Help please!

Look for a page that has a similar layout:
The one photo per page layout is the easiest to miss. Just click on a background color to remove the problem.

Connecting the iPad to the internet via the iPhone is done by setting up a personal HotSpot, but you have to have that supported by your carrier and have to have established the account to do so.
On the iPhone, Settings > General > Network > Set Up Personal Hotspot

Although the Snow Leopard updated to 10.9.2 Maverisck, so I then installed FCPX 10.1 I can not pour 4k video on your computer because it can not see the Sony FDR Ax100e. Thing left for me to do?

Sony has put in a position that the camera was connected with their software called PlayMemories Home . This then allows you to import movies and photos on the computer and then use them in different ways. However, when the camera is connected to the mac and I said Mass Storage USB Connected , then you execute this program I told you about two seconds later , however returns an error message that is: Connect the device to your computer or multimedia support . I do not understand .

My WRT54g2 can't see the internet through my wrt54g...

My company gave me a new laptop that will not allow WEP connectivity. I need wep for printers and other devices on my network so I bought a new wrt54g2 to handle WPA wireless and plugged it into one of the open ports on the old router. I went into the admin and configured everything to my liking but for some reason it won't grab a connection... What do I need to do to get it to see the internet through the old router...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If connecting one router to another, connect the two together by the networking ports. Then turn off the DHCP server on the second router, which sounds like the WRT54G2 in this case. You will probably also have to reconfigure the Local IP Address of the second router so it in the same IP range as the first router but outside of the first router's DHCP server addresses. For example if router one's Local IP Address is set to 192.168.1.1, then set router two's Local IP Address to 192.168.1.5 (or something along those lines).
Or switch the routers around and use the WRT54G2 as the main router and the older one configured for WEP as the secondary router and turn of DHCP on the secondary router. Other changes like reconfiguring the second router's Local IP Address will still have to be made. Or check your existing wireless devices configured for WEP to see if they will support or can be updated to support WPA or WPA2. If so remove the existing router and use the WRT54G2 in its place.
Also, make sure both routers have different wireless SSID names and are on different wireless channels to avoid conflict.

HT3275 Time Machine doesn't see the back-up disk

Time Machine doesn't see the back-up disk after I've logged off and then back on, even though the disk is available to the iMac 24/7. Turning the disk off and then on in the current session works, but this seems to defeat the purpose of an unattended back-up disk. I can't find a setting that ensures the back-up disk is recognized after log-in or restart. Is there a solution?

Is this Mountain Lion??
It seems to have made some changes that make the disk drop out.. it does this even if you are continually connected to the TC and we don't have a solution yet.
For your login issue, is the TC using a disk password.. or are you setting it to default? Could you try just turning on the guest account in the TC to read and write access and see if this helps. Tell us how it goes.
There is another fix.. but it involves using disconnect all users from v5 airport utility.. Apple removed the function in v6.
If you are on Lion or Mountain Lion even you can install the v5 utility.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
