  • Just bought a brand new Airport Extreme and having trouble with it being recognized. I have a Mac version 10.5.8. Is my computer compatible?  I have the Airport Express now and it works fine.

    Just bought a brand new airport extreme and having trouble with it being recognized.  My mac is version 10.5.8.  What should I do?

    The new AirPort Extreme needs the 6.x version of AirPort Utility, which comes packed in with Lion 10.7.5 or Mountain Lion 10.8.x......or......you can also configure the device using an iPhone or iPad running a recent iOS.
    From Apple's Specifications:
    Setup and Administration
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3
    A few options.....
    Borrow another Mac running Lion or Mountain Lion for 10-15 minutes and set it up. The Mac running 10.5.8 will be able to connect to the wireless....but it will not be able to make any changes to the configuration of the Extreme.
    Update to Lion or Mountain Lion.....but check first to make sure that your Mac will support the operating system first.
    Use....or borrow an iPhone or iPad to set up the Extreme

  • Having trouble with Airport connecting with Verizon wireless modem.

    Having trouble with Airport connecting with Verizon wireless modem.  Any ideas?

    Haven't asked Verizon.  I think it is in my settings for Airport.  Need to know proper settings.

  • I am physically disabled and having trouble with the sensitivity of the screen on my iPad mini - any suggestions?

    I am physically disabled and having trouble selecting apps because of the sensitivity of the screen - any suggestions on what to do?

    I would think assistive touch would be exactly what you are looking for.  It's engaged using the Accessibility method I described above.
    Here's the writeup about assistive touch from the iPad User Guide:
    AssistiveTouch AssistiveTouch helps you use iPad if you have difficulty touching the screen or pressing the buttons. You can use a compatible adaptive accessory (such as a joystick) together with AssistiveTouch to control iPad. You can also use AssistiveTouch without an accessory to perform gestures that are difficult for you.
    Turn on AssistiveTouch: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch. To set Triple-click Home to turn AssistiveTouch on or off, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-click Home.
    Adjust the tracking speed (with accessory attached): Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > Touch speed.
    Show or hide the AssistiveTouch menu: Click the secondary button on your accessory.
    Hide the menu button (with accessory attached): Go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
    AssistiveTouch > Always Show Menu.
    Perform a swipe or drag that uses 2, 3, 4, or 5 fingers: Tap the menu button, tap Gestures, and then tap the number of digits needed for the gesture. When the corresponding circles appear on the screen, flick or drag in the direction required by the gesture. When you finish, tap the menu button.
    Perform a pinch gesture: Tap the menu button, tap Favorites, and then tap Pinch. When the pinch circles appear, touch anywhere on the screen to move the pinch circles, then drag the pinch circles in or out to perform a pinch gesture. When you finish, tap the menu button.
    Create your own gesture: Tap the menu button, tap Favorites, and then tap an empty gesture placeholder. Or, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > Create New Gesture.
    Lock or rotate the screen, adjust iPad volume, or simulate shaking iPad: Tap the menu button, then tap Device.
    Simulate pressing the Home button: Tap the menu button, then tap Home. Move the menu button: Drag it to any location on the screen.
    Exit a menu without performing a gesture: Tap anywhere outside the menu.

  • PC based iTunes And multi play with Airport Express device and a Marantz CR-603

    I have iTunes on my PC and use the iPad as my 'remote' as I want to be able to have two different systems playing. I have a Cyrus Hi Fi in the lounge with  Airport Express added which works fine, and a Marantz CR 603 system in the kitchen which also works fine, when either is sourced from the iPad. When I switch to remote for multi-play using the PC I can't get the PC to identify the Marantz AND the Airport Express together. The PC just can't pick up the Marantz, even though it works fine from the iPad. The PC can see the Airport Express and, of course, itself. The system uses a hard wired Ethernet from the hub to the Marantz. Everything else is operating via wireless. Help!?

    I found a solution!
    Quit iTunes, restart the "Bonjour Service", start iTunes, done! :-)
    best regards,

  • Recently upgraded to Windows 7 and having trouble

    I've been using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional for several years on Windows XP.  Yesterday, my help desk upgraded me to Windows 7.  I needed to reinstall Adobe.  I keep getting a message during the installation process "The file "Adobe PDF.dll" on Windows Vista CD-Rom is needed.  Type the path where the file is located, and then click OK."  I, instead, hit cancel.  The installation appears to be complete, but I am unable to convert Word documents or printouts to PDFs.  Does someone have any idea as to how to fix this?

  • Updated Z10 to new software release 10.2.0.429 and having trouble with sending BBM/text messages

    I recently updated my Blackberry Z10 to the new software release 10.2.0.429 and I'm having trouble sending messages on BBM b/c the red X shows up on every single message that I send to any contact on my list. This was never a problem for me prior to updating it. I also suddenly cannot open my browser nor can I open my texts properly nor send or receive texts. The keyboard on the touchscreen shows up constantly while im trying to navigate through the phone and it stays frozen until I lock/unlock the phone. All of this ONLY started happening ever since I updated it. What's going on? Please help, this shouldn't be happening!!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community! 
    Keep the phone on, and remove the battery for about a minute or more and then replace it

  • Downloaded new OS and having trouble with wifi, bluetooth Facebook and Skype performanc​e

    Dowloaded 10.2.1.537
    When I first loaded this it had a lot of trouble finding my Wifi again and would disengage.  Problem went away after a few hours but it recurred this am.  Also affected Facebook.
    Skype is loading more slowly and jumps to a black screen for 10-20 seconds.  Then it will load and function but only for a few seconds to a minute and then shuts off completely. 
    Launching Skype also resultd in my bluetooth headset being disengaged sometimes.
    Reinstalled Skype to see if that fixed anything. 
    Tried turning off bluetooth to see if that fixed the skype problem - nope still disengaged.
    Cycled my router and cable and still no fix...
    Running Z30
    Would love to get a fix on this.

    Hello,
    Given all of your issues, I'd guess that something did not go well with the update, and a clean reload would be in order. You accomplish that either through the LINK software or by obtaining an AutoLoader.
    Good luck!

  • Having issue with Airport Express and Itunes - Please Help

    Ok, I am having a very odd issue with my wireless music network all of a sudden, and it's driving me nuts. I have searched the forum and I don't get the sense that anyone else is having this issue.
    My house consists of multiple machines, but I have my music on two computers - my G5 desktop and a Mac Mini. I am in the process of encoding all of my CDs to Apple Lossless for storage on the G5, and access of this library provided to all machines on the network (6 total including the G5).
    I have 2 airport express units in the house, each connected to a stereo. I have been using this setup for about a year or so, with no problems.
    Suddenly now, when playing music wirelessly, the music (and I know this is going to sound weird) has intermittent popping, will skip alot (like a CD player skips), and seems to almost speed up during the skipping. It is SO weird, and I have no clue how to fix it.
    I am mainly confused as to where the issue could be coming from. Is it the airport network? Is something wrong with Itunes? Something wrong with the machines? Interference in the home? B/c I have not had this issue before, I am not sure how to even troubleshoot it. I do know that until about a month ago, I had none of these issues.
    Within the last 30 days, the only changes that I made were that 1) I have been encoding files to Apple Lossless (but I had some of these before with no streaming issues), 2) I purchased a Mac Mini (not sure what impact this would have), and I upgraded to the latest Itunes.
    Any thoughts you can provide for me are very appreciated. ***** to finally be setting up this music server and now start having wireless music issues. Thank you in advance for your help.
    Eric
    G5 2.5Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    I'm also suffering from skipping/sped up music, only when streaming certain internet radio stations to my Express (for example, friskyRadio in the electronica section). Mine's setup not to distribute IP addresses, if that's relevant.
    Other than installing iTunes version 7 (now at 7.0.1) nothing has changed on my network, or on my computer.

  • Anyone not having trouble with Airport?

    Leopard sits on a shelf, still unloaded. I read here and elsewhere of so many problems with connecting to one's Airport or other wireless router that I'm content to wait till there's an upgrade to fix the problem.
    But I'm curious... Is there anyone who's had 100% luck in upgrading and then connecting (and staying connected) to their router, Airport Express or Base Station? I think we need to put this issue into perspective.

    I went the Upgrade route from 10.4.1, and had the Airport connection issues (Netgear router, WEP encryption) as well as numerous other issues including kernel panics, etc. I went back to 10.4.1 using my backup and tried again, with the same result. Again I reloaded my 10.4.1 backup (via SuperDuper), and then proceeded as follows:
    1. I downloaded both the Login/Keychain Update and the 10.5.1 update to a separate partition on my hard drive;
    2. I went through the voodoo of repairing permissions on my hard drive;
    3. I then updated to 10.5 once again, this time choosing Archive and Install and Save Settings (I think that's what it's called);
    4. When it booted up in 10.5, I accessed the Login/Keychain Update from the partition where I had saved it on my hard drive and installed it;
    Note: I had saved it to my hard drive in anticipation of the fact that I would not be able to get online to download it after the 10.5 install, because I would not be able to get online via Airport -- which was indeed the case).
    5. After the update and subsequent restart, I restarted once again in Safe mode by holding down the Shift key during the restart;
    Note: When I did this, the grey screen and spinning gear appeared for an interminable amount of time. I basically gave up at some point and released the Shift key, but when the boot completed it came up in Safe mode.
    It asks for your password. Don't bother, it'll tell you it's wrong. Just look for the Restart or Reboot cue and click on it, letting it restart normally. When it restarts, you should be online, and all the other problems should have disappeared as well.
    6. Now install 10.5.1, When you're done, again, all should be well. At least it was for me. My 10.5.1 install appears rock-solid, running the way Apple intended it to.
    I should note that I'm using a lot of third-party stuff: an older Netgear wireless routed, and two 1 Gb memory sticks from two different manufacturers, neither of them Apple. So all those theories about problems being caused by RAM or other 3rd-party gear may be a little sketchy. I also had forgotten to deactivate the Unsanity plug-ins, but that didn't seem to matter either. But who knows? It's all black magic to me anyway.

  • Trouble with Airport Express and Windows 7

    I have my airport express connected to my computer via ethernet cable and I have the airport connected to my network.
    But in the network connection settings it says that I'm connected but there's no internet access. The map in Network and sharing center looks like this:
    (This computer) =============== Unidentified Network =======X========Internet
    Can you please help me find a solution?
    Thanks!

    The last bit.. how do you have the Express connected to the network??
    What IP does the Express have and what IP does it hand to the computer??
    I presume you can access the express from airport utility in windows.. if not please do load it.

  • Trouble with Airport Express as repeater

    Hi Community.
    I want to extend the WiFi-range of my new (4th-gen.) Time Capsule to the other end of the house by use of my old AirPort Express (probably 1st gen. - only 802.11b/g-mode).
    I read some of the threads here in the community and thought that I had understood how to to do that but now my Time capsule keeps switching between steady green and yellow flashing lights. On AirPort utility 6.0 I see that apparently my internet connection is supposed to be lost whenever it goes to the yellow light. I had no such troble before I changed the configuration to "Participate in a WDS". Before it was on "create a wireless network".
    To summarize what I did:
    Using AirPort Utility 5.6 I first switched the Time Capsule (which is connected to the modem and to my iMac via ethernet) to the "Participate in a WDS network" and clicked "Allow this network to be extended". Unter the "WDS-Menu" I set it to "WDS main" and clicked "Allow wireless clients". Afterwards I entered the MAC-Adress of my AirPort Express under the WDS Remotes. Then I updated the Time Capsule. (it is still set up to also transmit signals in the 5 GHZ / n-mode under a different automatic channel, but this should not affect the AirPort Express, since it does not receive any signals in 802.11n - does it?)
    Afterwards I connected my AirPort Express via ethernet to the Time Capsule and also set it to "Participate in a WDS network". The Radio Mode is on "802.11b/g compatibel" and it is on the same channel as my Time Capsule. Under the WDS-Menu I set it up as a WDS-remote, allowed wireless clients and entered the MAC-Adress of my Time Capsule as the WDS-Main.
    Now I try to run the setup and every 10 seconds or so the yellow light of the Time Capsule lights up.
    Does anybody have an idea what might be wrong?
    Thanks!

    Except for enabling the "Allow this network to be extended" option which is only valid for 802.11n networks, it sounds like you did everything correctly, but please take a look at the following step-by-step procedure to see you if may have missed something along the way.
    Static WDS Setup with "Mixed" (802.11g & 802.11n) AirPort Base Stations
    Note: To facilitate the WDS set up:
    Perform a "factory default" reset on all of the base stations that you plan on using in the WDS. This will get them back to their respective "out-of-the-box" configurations.
    To avoid having to "switch" wireless networks within the AirPort Utility, temporarily connect the remote base station(s) to the Time Capsule (TC) by Ethernet during the set up phase, and then, relocate it to the desired location when complete.
    Be sure to jot down the AirPort IDs (MAC addresses) for each of the base stations to be used in the WDS. The AirPort ID is printed on the label on the bottom/side of the base station.
    Main Base Station Setup
    Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the TC.
    Open AirPort Utility.
    Select the TC, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
    Enter the base station password if necessary. If the base station is using the default password of public, you will not be prompted for a password.
    Click Wireless in the toolbar, and then, choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu. Note: You will need to hold down the Option key in order to get this option on the AEBSn, 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn), or Time Capsule (TC).
    Click WDS and then, choose “WDS main” from the WDS Mode pop-up menu.
    Select the “Allow wireless clients” checkbox if you want client computer to connect to this base station.
    Click the Add "+" button and enter the AirPort ID of 802.11b/g AirPort Express Base Station (AX).
    Click Update to send the new settings to the base station in the WDS.
    Remote Base Station Setup
    Open AirPort Utility; select the AX, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
    Enter the base station password, if necessary.
    Enter the same network password as the TC, if necessary.
    Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then, click Wireless. Choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then, choose the same channel as the TC from the Channel pop-up menu.
    Click WDS and choose “WDS remote” from the pop-up menu.
    Enter the AirPort ID of the TC in the WDS Main field.
    Click Update to transfer the settings to the base station.

  • Trouble with Airport Express

    So I bought Airport Express this weekend and have been having some connection issues with my new Macbook.
    Because I have a new Macbook with Airport in it, do I need to use the installation Base Station CD on my computer? I have no idea what to do with this.
    I have set up Airport Express and the green light is on, but I'm not connecting to the internet. I set up a new wireless account and show that I'm "conencted" but Safari or anything will not connect online. Also, my modem has a DCHP Ethernet connection from my cable modem, but I had to manually type in the correct IP, Subnest and Router number because Airport was only registering a non-working IP address.
    I have zero idea what I've done wrong and why this isn't connecting. But I'm getting frustrated and am tempted to get new Airport to try all over again.
    I think what might have happened is I was working through the Airport link on my main screen before going to Airport Utility in the hard drive to set it up. But I have a green light and not a full internet connection.
    Help!

    Hi there - sorry if my question was confusing. Yes, I would like to take my Macbook, currently connected to my cable modem by the Ethernet cord and create a wireless network so that I can work wirelessly in my apartment.
    So it sounds like I need to unplug the cable modem from the wall to recycle the power supply and then reconnect it to the wall and the Airport device. But now that I have already "set it up" without doing this, will I need to restore the Airport to it's factory settings? And if I power cycle the modem by unplugging it, will it automatically grab the correct IP? Is it likely that it's not connecting because it was manually entered?
    Finally, it sounds like I don't need the CD that I received in the box with the device because I already have a Mac, but wanted to confirm.

  • Having trouble "extending" Airport Express to DOCSIS Motorola Surfboard

    In 30 minutes of searching this forum, it is clear Bob Timmons is the man when it comes to Airport Expresses.
    I had ATT DSL connected to 3 airport expresses (A1264) for streaming music in smaller apartment.
    I'm now in a bigger rental home and want to extend the network.  After some tinkering, I can get the A1264 to "join my wireless" network but I can't get it to "extend."  When I choose those settings, I get the blinking amber light - and it will not work.
    I'm connecting to a Motorola Surfboard DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem.  Can anyone help?
    Thanks
    Ron

    If you are trying to extend the network wirelessly......Apple's extend a wireless network feature will only work with other Apple wireless routers. 
    To confirm, please see this excerpt from Apple's product literature on the AirPort Express:
    Extend an existing Wi‑Fi network’s range.
    If you already have a wireless network in your home and want to extend its range, AirPort Express can help. Just place it in range of your primary base station — an AirPort Extreme, AirPort Time Capsule, or another AirPort Express
    http://www.apple.com/airport-express/
    If you have a Motorola modem/router providing your wireless network, the AirPort Express will not be able to extend that signal.
