TC 3rd gen. Airport version 5.5.3
I have 3 questions. My wife's 1st gen Blackbook crashed & burned. I'm giving her my 1yr old MBP and buying a new 13" 1.7 MBP for me. Both of our machines are backed up. I'll use Migration Assist to transfer my stuff to the new MBP. Then I need to Restore her stuff onto my old one.
#1 My Snow Leopard disc is scratched and will not install so does Migration Assist leave the OP behind on the first MBP when it is finished transfering?
#2 Do I even need an OP installed to Restore my wife's stuff on my old MBP
#3 Can I Restore a MBP with ethernet if I just turn airport off? Or is it necessary to go into Airport settings and disable wifi network to connect using ethernet?
All help is much appreciated.
Thanks, Wayne.

Have Pixus and 3rd gen Airport extreme. Unable to replace with 5th gen airport extreme
I have Pixus and a 3rd generation Airport extreme . Unable to replace with 5th generation airport extreme. Problem?
Ok, thanks for the clarification. I assume that Pixus has provided you with a modem that provided an Ethernet connection to your 3rd Gen AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) ... correct? If so, then anytime you change networking hardware, it is a good idea to completely recycle power on all of the networking components.
Please try the following:
Power-down the Pixus modem, AEBSn, and computer(s); leave them powered off for at least 10-15 minutes.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it sufficient time to initialize.
Power-up the AEBSn; wait at least 5-10 minutes or until its status light is a solid green. (Note: It may continue to flash amber. This is ok, as it may just require some additional configuration settings, like wireless security to attend to.)
Power-up the computer(s).
Network clients connected to the AEBSn, either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the Pixus modem. Please post back your results. -
Problems with spotty cable modem connection when connected to 3rd gen Airport Extreme
Hi All, here's my problem:
I've got a 3rd gen airport extreme (AEBS) that I've been using for the last several years and had no issue. Recently, I decided to switch from Verizon DSL to Time Warner Cable, and in order to avoid extra fees, I decided to purchase my own cable modem. Here begins an epic battle with sanity...
- 1st modem Motorolla SB6141: This was the first modem that I bought and it worked like a charm... at first. The first week was like a dream come true, with incredibly fast speeds and very low latency (ping=15ms, dl=30Mbps, ul=5Mbps). The AEBS and the modem got along great, no issues until all the sudden the connection speeds started dropping off. The connection would never fully drop to zero, but close. The bandwidth would hover around 1Mb down, which was about a 1/30 of the speed I was supposed to be getting. I chalked it up to a bad model so I headed back to Best Buy.
- 2nd modem Zoom 5341J: This modem istalled with little issue and worked pretty well. The only problem I encountered with this modem was that it seems to cause a ton of network latency (ping=200ms average), which was way too slow for me. On the first night that I had this modem working, I cycled the power (to try to resolve the latency issue) and it never came back on. there must have been a short in the board or something. Back to Best Buy.
-3rd modem Netgear CMD31T: This modem was an absolute nightmare to get connected to the AEBS. The process involved following a VERY specific order of operations that involved powering down the modem and the AEBS, doing a factory reset on the AEBS, poweing down the AEBS, powering on the modem, plugging the modem into the AEBS, and powering on the AEBS. None of the other modems gave me that much trouble, but when I eventually got it working it was FAST. I was getting the best latency and bandwidth out of all of the modems. Unfortunately, that lasted about 5 minutes, when the bandwidth dropped to 1Mbps and never recovered.
I know what you all are thinking... the problem must be with the AEBS. But here's the kicker, I have an Airport Express that I tested with all three modems and got the same results. Well then (you must be thinking), the problem is obviously with the ISP! But when I connected all three modems directly to my MacBook Pro, they all worked fine, with no connectivity issues. The only time I encounter a problem is when I involve an Apple router. I love my AEBS and my Airport Express, so I'm avoiding buying a different brand router. Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks for your help!Well after doing some research, I've figured out that the problem I was encountering had nothing to do with the Airport Extreme or the cable modem! Apparently, my problem was caused my uplink saturation. In other words, my cloud backup service (BackBlaze) was using up all of my upload bandwidth, which meant that ACK packets (acknowledgments) weren't even getting through. This would basically cause any server I was downloading from to stop sending additional packets, making it appear that connection to the internet had been severed. My simple fix was to cap the bandwidth of my BackBlaze backups to about half of my total upload bandwidth. One thing I did learn is that the this issue is usually fixed by using a router with QOS (Quality of Service) capabilities to prioritize ACK packets. Unfortunately, for some reason Apple has neglected to add this feature to even their high end routers.

3rd gen AirPort Express kills Nest battery
I am swapping out our AirPort Extreme for the new 3rd gen Express. I've decided to do this because I don't have a use for disk support on the AirPort, but would like to put a pair of speakers in that spot for AirPlay.
Everything went fine in the switch-over, except that a couple of days later, our Nest thermostat stopped showing up in the Nest remote control ap.
If I query the thermostat, it says that the battery is low.
The thermostat got on perfectly well with the Extreme for almost 9 months. Nothing ele has changed.
I am absolutely positive that both sides will point fingers at the other. I don't expect that there's any way this can be fixed without a firmware update from either one or the other vendor. Until we get one or the other, this post can serve as a warning about potential compatibility issues with the new Express.I have the same problem when I replaced my old Airport Expess with the new one. I talked to Nest tech supportb& they helped me trouble shoot. They confirmed that the Nest is having trouble with the new firmware on the new Express. They assured me that they are working on the problem. They said they will contact me when it is resolved.

I am about to buy an apple tv, however my HDMI input only supports HDCP and HDMI V. 1.2
Does the latest apple tv require a higher level of HDCP to play protected content, or will my 1.2 level input support it ok?Apple stuff is a bit random. I have two apple tv's. one works perfectly on both tv's the other gives a hdcp error. Same cables and same settings. Apple no longer knows how to make good stuff. They lost their quality control.

Airport Extreme (3rd Gen) super slow on selective devices?
Hi, I have a problem here that's got me scratching my head. I have had a 3rd Gen Airport Extreme 802.11n (MB763LL/A) for over 2 years now. For the most part it's worked great, allowing me to get the full speed I pay for through my ISP on all my devices: PC, Macbook Pro, iPod, iPad, Android Phone etc. However, recently I've noticed that the only device that I can get the full speed on is my macbook pro (4-5 Mbps down). All other devices now crawl at a speed of <1 Mbps down. I restored the Airport to factory settings and set it up again as new, but the same problem remains - full speed on macbook pro, painfully slow on all other devices including iPad and iPod.
I tried connecting the cable modem to a linksys router that I had lying around and as soon as I set up the network, all devices were connected and downloading at the full 4-5 Mbps speeds. So it definitely seems to be an issue related to the Airport rather than the wireless radios in individual devices. The funny thing is that I've made no changes to the airport - no firmware updates, no new devices etc.
What do you think? Thanks in advance!Yes, I have had similar problems...
I have a 2nd gen AEBS TimeCapsule as the main router, and a 1st gen AEBS acting as a bridge to extend the network. Both have up-to-date software, as do all of my Macs.
After moving my MBP from one end of the house to the other and back (so, bouncing between the wifi units), I got into a situation where it looked like nobody else was online in bonjour chat, even though they were, and some of them could see each other. Some could even see me. But my chat showed nobody else online.
At the same time, I found that I could no longer print to my (bonjour) print queue. Others could also not print.
Rebooting my laptop did nothing, nor did switching ipv6 off and on (per some recommendations I saw), nor anything else.
The ONLY thing that finally got it all working was when I decided to bounce the AEBSes (I used hard power-offs), and then instantly my chat started showing other bonjour users, and I could print. -
Unable to set up dual band with my 1st Gen Airport Extreme
Not sure if my 1st Gen Airport extreme supports this but I unable to figure out how to setup dual band networking. I have certain devices that work on 2.4 Ghz and some that work on 5ghz. I trying to improve my network speed by separating the devices that can use 5ghz. Any advise please?
1st Gen AirPort Extreme will do either 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz....but not both simultaneously.
Simultaneous dual band was introduced in the 3rd Gen AirPort Extreme.
Simplest solution.....the current AirPort Express will do simultaneous dual band. You could then reconfigure the AirPort Extreme to extend the 2.4 GHz network for increased coverage.
Be careful with 5 GHz as this is pretty much a "same room" or "line-of-sight" deal since 5 GHz signals are much weaker than 2.4 GHz signals....they won't penetrate through walls or other obstructions nearly as well as 2.4 GHz signals. -
Ok so i have this iPod touch (3rd gen) and i'm trying to update it through iTunes and when i click check for update it keeps saying this version of iPod software (2.2.1) is your current version. what do i do? how do i update it?
You have a 1st generation iPod Touch. It can not be upgraded beyond iOS 3.1.3, it is available at the link below.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052 -
OK, my original iphone has just completed a factory restore. It's connected to my laptop, and ITunes restored it to firmware 3.1.3. Now, I can't connect to the ITunes store. I get an error message every time stating connection timed out, or something to that effect. Well, both my IPod Touch 2nd gen and 3rd gen connect perfectly to ITunes, so I doubt it's related to proxy settings, firewalls, or anything of the sort (believe me, I've spend 15 hours researching this without an answer). So, is there a problem with the original iphone with version 3.1.3 syncing with ITunes version 10.5.1 (the most recent one)?
I would LOVE an answer as this is driving me crazy.
Thanks.Mine had a SIM in it. Originally, when I took out the SIM and tried to restore it with nothing in it, it wouldn't work without a SIM card. So ... I took the SIM that was in that phone previously, put it back in and completed the system restore. I then proceeded to go through the process with AT&T of adding a data plan, which I did, and then it successfully completed the system restore. However, now if I run diagnostics on it, it will not verify ITunes Store. If I try to connect to ITunes store, I'll get the network connection timed out error I referenced earlier in this thread. I'm considering jailbreaking it and putting on an earlier software version. Your thoughts?

My ipod touch 3rd gen will not update to 4.3. It says it is the current version
when i try to update my ipod touch 3rd gen to 4.3 on itunes it says "your ipod is up to date" and "this is the currnet version". But when i try to buy certain apps it says "you must have version 4.3 to download this app" what do i do? i have 4.2 and i have even clicked the "check for update" button and waited for the automatic update check but it always says its the current version even though its not! please help me!
You appear to have a second generation iPod touch, not a third, and those can't be updated past 4.2.1. Apple sold 8GB second generation models at the same time as the third generation ones.

itunes says that the version of software on my ipod touch 3rd gen is up to date, but IOS 5 is avaliable. I have checked for software updates for days but it keeps saying that 4.2.1 is the current version. Why cant i get IOS 5?

because you do not have a 3rd generation device. The OS Version says so , otherwise you would be at 4.3.5 minimum and also Itunes is also always correct in determining if you have the latest OS ( if not it fetches the newest from Apple's Servers ) . And because a 2nd generation iPod stops at 4.2.1 you can't get the newest OS, because your device is old. Buy a new iPod , they have iOS5 preinstalled. -
3rd gen iPod Nano will not sync with latest version of iTunes on new laptop. It passes the connectivity test but not the sync test under diagnostics. Worked fine on old Windows 7 laptop but not new one. From Control Panel it shows up as an Apple iPod USB Device...
Never mind, I think. I think I figured it out. There was 1 song (out of > 900!) that somehow had been purchased with the other ID - I have no idea how. Once I deleted that song, it stopped asking.
There may be something with the newest iTunes version too. I didn't think in older versions that the "On this iPod" list of songs was greyed out. But at least it syncs ok. -
Apple TV 3rd Gen no longer sees Airport Express 1st gen in Airplay after update
Apple TV 3rd gen was connected to AirPort Express 1st gen via WiFi, drove a video device via HDMI
and sent audio to the AirPort using Airplay and selecting the AirPort Express under Speakers.
I could adjust the volume with the AppleTV remote.
Apple TV was stored unused for a while.
After powering on yesterday, I ran the update.
Now Apple TV is connected to the Airport Express via WiFi
but Airport Express doesn't show in AirPlay settings.
I can still use AirPlay from my MacBook running Snow Leopard.
There are no updates available for the AirPortTry the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.

How do I sync my 3rd gen ipod touch after installing the latest version of itunes?
How do I sync my 3rd gen ipod touch after installing the latest version of itunes?
Correction: Thank you FoxFifth for the good information. I did find this information earlier before landing here in the support community. I have come to the end and I am uncertain about trying to reset my I-pod touch to the factory settings. I was satisfied with the older version of i-tunes. Can someone direct me how to downgrade i-tunes perhaps?

When watching my Apple TV (3rd gen) the picture jumps a few frames every few seconds, this happens when I rent a film or play back from my new Mac Pro, my Wifi is the Airport Express.
These may be different issues, but lets look at rentals first.
Poor motion can result from mismatched output. If your source is 24 or 30 fps you should set the output of the Apple TV to 60 Hz, for 25 fps content use 50 Hz.
Additionally motion software on the TV itself can cause the picture to jump, check your TV settings and turn off any motion settings in use, -
When i try to update the software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?
The later iOSs requires at least OSX 10.5.8 for the Mac. You need iTunes 10.5 but 10.4.11 only goes to 9.x.. 10.5.8 is a paid upgrade.
Are you sure that you have a 3G iPod? If it is 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G and those can only go to 4.2.1 (also requires 10.5.8 or later). A 32 GB can be either 2G or 3G. To identify yours:
