Switched from DSL to cable modem. My Airport light won't turn green. Keeps blinking orange. No wireless now and can't connect to more than one computer! ?????

Hmmmm.
If you reset the AirPort Extreme by holding in the reset button for 9-10 seconds and then releasing, the AirPort should be back in default settings which would allow mutliple computers to connect to the LAN ports on the AirPort.
Power off the cable modem for now and leave it off at least 15 minutes.
With the AirPort Extreme still powered on, hold in the rest button on the back for 9-10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking abmer light.
Then, power off the AirPort Extreme.
Check to make sure that the Ethernet cable from the modem is connected to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Extreme.
After the modem has been powered off for at least 15 minutes, power it up and let it run for 5 minutes by itself.
Now, power up the AirPort Exteme and let it run for 2-3 minutes
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Express
Click on the AirPort Exteme, then click Continue to follow the guided setup tp configure the AirPort Extreme. You can use the same wireless network name, password, etc that you used before, or set up a new name and password, etc.

How can I connect to more than one computer from external ip

Hi
I have been using remote desktop for some time and have a port forward set so I can connect to our mail server from anywhere else externally from my macbook pro, but how can I connect to other macs in the office when there only seems to be the two ports available for use 5900 and 3283. I can only port forward to one computer? How can I connect to multiple computers when not within the same network? are there other ports available?
Cheers
Tony

If your workstations get their addresses from an NAT device rather than being "real", the ports also need to be forwarded in the router to the workstation's internal IP address. ARD uses port 3283 for the reporting and updating function, so if your Macs are getting their IP addresses through NAT, since you can only forward a port to a single workstation, you can only get reports, push package/files to etc. for a single workstation.
ARD uses the VNC protocol for observation and control, though, and there are a range of IP addresses for that protocol, starting with 5900. ARD uses 5900 by default, so that port would be forwarded to the first workstation. You would, I believe, need to install third-party VNC software on the systems (since the ARD client cannot listen on any port other than 5900 while other VNC systems can be set for other ports such as 5901, 5902, etc. You would then forward 5901 to the second workstation (and on to 5902, 5903, etc.). You can then use the following information:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=RemoteDesktop/3.0/en/ARDC715.html to connect.
The only other options are: 1) to run the ARD administrator on a workstation on the network, and then take control of that system from outside, either via VNC or another copy of ARD, or 2) set up a virtual private network (VPN) so that when you connect from outside, your admin system is officially part of the local network.
Hope this helps.

Switching From DSL to Cable Modem

I am about to switch from a DSL service to a faster Cable Modem service using my local provider's (Time Warner Roadrunner) self install kit. I was hoping that you experts could give me some advice before I begin the conversion.
Currently, my DSL modem connects to Airport Extreme, then Airport Extreme to my iMAC.
My question is whether to first plug in the ethernet cable from the new cable modem directly into the iMAC and make sure that the internet is accessible. Then power off all devices, hook up Airport Extreme back into the chain and try again.
Or right from the start, should I just plug the new cable modem into Airport Extreme and see if the iMAC sees the internet automatically?
Any step by step advise would be appreciated.

My question is whether to first plug in the ethernet cable from the new cable modem directly into the iMAC and make sure that the internet is accessible. Then power off all devices, hook up Airport Extreme back into the chain and try again.
You pretty much summed it up.
I would do the following in order:
o Power down the DSL modem, AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), and iMac. Order is not critical.
o Install the new cable modem and connect the iMac directly to it using an Ethernet cable.
o Power-on the cable modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
o Power-on the iMac, and then, check for Internet connectivity.
o Power down the iMac, and then, the cable modem.
o Disconnect the iMac from the modem; connect an Ethernet cable between the modem and the WAN port of the AEBS; connect another Ethernet cable between the LAN port of the AEBS and the iMac.
o Power-on the cable modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
o Power-on the AEBS; wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the iMac, and then, check for Internet connectivity.

Switch DSL to cable modem causes AirPort to "Flash on Activity" nonstop?

I recently switched from DSL to Cable internet. After I switched, the green light on the AirPort CONSTANTLY flashes -- as if there's constant activity. The AirPort was set to "Flash on Activity" when it was attached to the previous DSL modem and it only flashed when there was obvious activity. Now it flashes constantly green -- even when all devices are turned off.
I have ruled out anyone lurking on my wifi. Even after resetting the wireless password, the green light again immediately starts flashing constantly.
I've searched and searched the Internets for anyone with a similar issue, but have yet to find one.
Should I be concerned? Should I just let it flash? I like to see when there's activity on the AirPort, but now watching it flash all the time just makes me paranoid.
P.S. It also does the same thing when hooked up to an early 2008 Time Capsule.
Thoughts?

Welcome to the discussion area!
+Now it flashes constantly green -- even when all devices are turned off.+
If you are including the modem here, then you have an internal issue within the Time Capsule.
If not, now you know that the cable company is always sending stuff down the line. You might want to consider setting the light back to Always On, knowing that it will be flashing constantly anyway.

Switched from DSL to cable and now can't find apple tv in itunesdevice list

I just switched from DSL to Cable and now for whatever reason I cannot find my apple tv in the itunes device list on my desktop computer. If I use another laptop through the same wireless router I can see the apple tv no problem. My apple tv can see my wireless router and connect to the internet and watch youtube/trailers/etc.
I have tried restoring the apple tv, and have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the itunes on the desktop. I also reset the wireless router...none of the above seem to work. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this has been crazy frustrating...thanks in advance.

If you have an AirPort Extreme or a Time Capsule, you need to use the AirPort utility to access it. Otherwise, your router has a control panel that you can access by entering the router's IP address into your web browser. You'll have to check your router's documentation for the default login name and password, but it's often admin admin or root root (which is why you should at least change the password as soon as possible).

Switched from DSL to CABLE. WRT54G Wireless Router stopped working.

When I switched from DSL to CABLE, my WRT54G Wireless Router stopped working. I am not able to access the router page (192.168.1.1) Also, when I use the set up CD for re-installation, the wizard aborts in the middle saying it can not connect.
I appreciate any help to resolve this problem.
P.S. The router acts like a one-port wired router.

Here is my favorite method for resetting a router to factory defaults, and trying to get it working again.
To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
5) Power down the router.
6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
Please let me know how things turn out for you.

Can't access PIX 501 after switch from dsl to cable

Hi--
I have two small offices and recently switched from dsl to cable internet. the two pix501 f/w units worked fine on dsl, but for the life of me I cannot even access the units now from the inside as I was able to do before when on dsl signal. I know I need to change the configuration from PPPoe to DHCP, but I can't get access to do it.
Any suggestions?
I believe I have 6.2 software, but I'm not sure. The Inside address is 10.8.6.1 now.
thanks--jb

Jorge--
I did have the Pix connected to router, 192 168.1.1 for convenience, so I could still get internet wirelessly without having to do lots of wire unplugging and plugging.
I have since changed to topology of comcast modem connected directly to pix which in turn connects directly to laptop.
In this configuration, laptop pings 10.8.6.1 ok, but pix has no connectivity to comcast.
When laptop connected directly to comcast modem,(ie pix removed) the ipconfig /all from laptop reads the following from comcast:

How can I synchronize safely from more than one computer?

First, I have set up my iPod to work with two computers: my primary computer, which is my desktop at home. Later, I also "authorized" my laptop (as a secondary source) to also be able sync to my iPod.
My question is that when I go to synchronize some podcasts I just downloaded to my secondary computer (my laptop), I get the following prompt: "Are you sure you want to sync podcasts? All existing podcsts on the iPod '<my iPod's name>' will be replaced with podcasts from your iTunes library."
From this message, since my iPod is plugged into my laptop, I assume it's referring to my iTunes library on my laptop (which only has the few podcasts I just downloaded). And it sounds like it's going to delete the podcasts that are already on my iPod.
I definitely don't want it to "replace" the ones I already have sync'd from my home computer; +_I just want to add the ones I have downloaded to my laptop._+ How can I make it so I can safely add the new ones without disturbing those I already have sync'd and want to keep? I'm a bit confused about how syncing works when you have more than one computer to sync to the iPod.

You cannot do what you want.
The ipod touch can sync with ONE computer/library at a time.
When you sync to a different computer/library, the ipod touch will first delete the current itunes content form the iphone, then it will sync the content from the new computer.
This is the way it is designed.

I had a similar problem in that my wife's iphone 5 could not send pics with imessage. Had to set the settings to default to SMS or whatever. After laboring many hours on the web I coincidentally was on the phone with the internet people to question my internet speed. They changed the router channel, which is something that I am capable of doing myself. After that, the pics go over imessage. My own Iphone didn't have the problem. We are both latest IOS 7.0.6.

Copy the songs to a computer that is running iTunes, add those new tracks to the current library, and then synch those tracts to the iPod.

Switched from DSL to cable, need help getting TC back on line.

I just switched from dsl to a cable modem to access the internet and my service provider doesn't offer support for my TC. Where can I find out how to change my settings (I guess from PPPOE to DHCP) to allow internet access from my wireless network? It seems like a matter of plugging the right numbers into the right place but I don't know where to find the numbers or where to put them exactly. Any help is appreciated.

Hello Sivad72. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I suggest that you first perform a "hard" reset on your Time Capsule (TC). Then, perform a complete power recycle of your network components to get them "talking" again.
Power Recycling Steps
1. If the modem has a reset switch, use it to reset the modem. Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the modem to initialize.
2. Remove power from the modem. If it has a backup battery, remove this as well. Wait 5-10 minutes. Replace the battery, and add power back to the modem.
3. Perform a complete power recycle of your network components as follows:
o Power-off the modem, TC, & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the TC; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
4. Contact your ISP to have them perform a "modem reset."

Can't get router working after switching from DSL to Cable broadband???

I have a WRT54G v.5
I just switched from dsl service to cable broadband. I can't get my router to work. I hooked it back up just as the dsl modem used to be. there is an ethernet cable that goes from the cable modem to the router. then an eithernet cable that goes from the router to the computer. this does not work. If I just take the router out of the loop and run an eithernet cable straight from the cable modem to the computer it works fine. so the cable internet service is working fine up to the modem. The router is the problem. I have restarted both the computer and the router. so that rules that out. can you help me?

Open the setup page of the router by launching an Internet Explorer Browser and type the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter. When it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field empty and provide password as admin and click on ok.On the main setup page the ""Internet Connection Type"" should be on ""Obtain IP Automatically - DHCP “. Click on the Save Settings button.Now click on the sub tab ""MAC address clone"".- Click on enable.Click Clone & click save settings
Check WAN Ip on Status page of router .... If getting Valid Ip .... try going online...If not ... power cycle for 4-5 minutes & then, try going online.

Can I print to more than one printer from one Mac - at the same time?

Hi,
I'd like to set up a few printers in order to handle large jobs occasionally. But the print jobs are going to be coming from InDesign which I have on only one of the Macs. Can I do either of these...?
a) connect more than one printer to a USB hub and send one print job to each of them so they print more or less simultaneously?
...or...
b) connect one printer to each of my 3 other office Macs and send a print job to each of them (via Printer Sharing) from the Mac with InDesign on it, as well as sending a print job to a printer connected directly to that Mac?
I'd hate to have to spring for 3 more licenses for InDesign just to print faster!
TIA
Rob

Item A won't work.
B will work but there will need to be a fair amount of manual involvement.
For example, if you have one file and need multiple copies, and were looking to have each printer printing the same pages simultaneously (load balancing), then you would have to send a print job to each printer (one locally and one to each of the shared printers). There is no provision in OS X to print the file once and have it print on four machines simultaneously. There may well be third-party applications that can do this (there are several for Windows), but OS X client doesn't have this feature out-of-the-box.
I also believe that the 'classes' facility in CUPS (aka print pooling in OS X Server) cannot do load balancing, as it is designed to send the spool file to the first available printer - not every printer in the pool. However, with printer pools, when the first printer is busy printing the next printer would receive the job when you hit the print button again. It is important that the pool consists of the same printers, otherwise you would get variation in the output.
With regards to the three additional licenses, you could print the ID file to pdf, and then the other Mac's could print the pdf...

Manage music and videos manually from more than one computer

Hello,
I'm triying to transfer music from two computers (work computer and home computer) to my iPhone. The problem is that when I select the Manage music and videos manually on my iTunes and then apply it keep saying that the iPhone is already synchronized with another computer and if I accept I lose all the media (video and music) on my iPhone. I just want to add new videos and new music manually without losing the existing ones, is it possible?.
I'm using the iPhone 3G with iTunes 7.7 (last version) and Windows Vista.
Thank you

Then it is not possible to add new music files or video files to my iPhone from more that one computer without losing the ones I already transfered from another computer. This is a pitty
Thank you very much
