When i close airport utility it shuts down my wifi

when i close airport utility it shuts down my wifi and i have to keep it open so that i can access the wifi
i have only a airport extreme

Power off both your computer and the base station.
Then, power up the base station first and let it run a minute, then power up the computer.
Any change when you check AirPort Utility?
If not, we need more information about your AirPort device. Our crystal ball is unfortunately not working today, so we must ask you to locate the model number of your AirPort and post back with that info.
The model number is on the side or bottom of the AirPort depending on what version you have. It starts with an "A" followed by four numbers, as in "A x x x x".

  • Airport Utility Express shutting down and ip addresses

    Just this last week all of a sudden my internet connection starts and drops off randomly. Not only do you have to unplug both it and the router it only stays connected with a green light for a short period of time.
    As well, we have had for the past year, my MacBook, an Acer NetBook, my iPhone and iTouch all using the Airport Utility Express. The Acer NetBook had been used in another location for about 2 weeks, when it came back to this location all of a sudden the Airport Utility automatically changes it's IP address to match my MacBook and generates the following error message: Another device on the network is using your computers ip address 10.0.1.3. Try connecting again later. If you continue to have problems, change the ip address of this computer or the ip address of the other device. Contact the network administrator if you need more information. Does anyone know how to change the ip addresses? I understand that this is one of the reasons why the airport utility shuts down but now it is shutting down when only one computer is being used as well.
    Thank you for your ideas and thoughts

    To minimize confusion, first let's be straight on terminology.  "AirPort Utility" is a software program.  You seem to have an "AirPort Express", not an "AirPort Utility Express".
    When you say "the AirPort Utility (presumably the AirPort Express) changes its IP address to match my MacBook", how do you know that?
    It's not AirPort Utility or AirPort Express that "generates the following error message: Another device on the network is using your computers ip address 10.0.1.3."  That message has to be coming from the networking software in OS X on your MacBook.
    I doubt that this IP address conflict is causing your AirPort Express to shut down.  What exactly happens that you describe as that?
    Is that Acer Netbook configured to configure its network settings using DHCP?  If it's configured to use a static IP address, that could explain what you're seeing.  If you're not sure how to check that, I won't be able to help you figure it out, as I don't know much about Windows.  However, I'd start by looking in the Settings/Control Panels for something involving networking.

    Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
    Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
    I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
    Thanks for the advice, Bee
    Cheers, Gerd

  • HT5361 I can't shut down my computer because it says mail is open.  It says to close mail and continue shut down.  Problem is I can't open or close mail now.  Can't shut down my computer at all.  What can I do?

    I can't shut down my computer because it says mail is open.  It says to close mail and continue shut down.  Problem is I can't open or close mail now.  Can't shut down my computer at all.  What can I do?

    If you cannot get mail to quit/force quit, you can always remove power from your Mac.
    NOTE: removing power is a bad idea, and can result in data loss, but sometimes it is the only thing left to do.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 to 10 seconds, and the Mac will power off.
    When you power back on, the Mac should reboot.

    Adobe Reader is free. It always has been.
    You have obviously downloaded and installed Acrobat (30 day trial version) and the trial period has expired.
    You need to uninstall Acrobat (using the Control Panel and Add/Remove Programs or Programs and Features [Vista/7])
    Then run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
    to completely remove the Acrobat installer files.
    Then download Reader 9, install it, and go about reading PDFs for free.
    EDIT: Please, please please.... do NOT post a phone number in the forums.
    You're inviting trouble if you do.
    Not everyone who reads these pages is here to help fellow Adobe product users.

    Reboot the modem. Just pull the power for a few seconds. No settings are lost.  The laptop getting through to the internet is not relevent.

  • My new AirPort Extreme keeps shutting down and kicking my ipad and iPhoto off while sometimes showing a good connection in utilities but utilities showing no connection.

    My new AirPort Extreme keeps shutting down. The status light is off. If I unplug and re-plug it comes back on and reconnects. Also, it disconnects my iPad and iPhone even though the status light is green. I go to airport utilities and the internet dot is amber and the base station is green. I check wireless clients and both iPad and iPhone show excellent connection but are not connected. If I disconnect and re-connect it restores connection. My old AirPort Extreme never had this problem. I read a couple of comments from owners with similar problems and you pushed it off on the iMac or other things. I hope you have an answer for me!

    If it has power, an Extreme's status light should never be off.
    Try another power outlet. If it still doesn't work, return or exchange it for a new one.

  • I just bought an Airport extreme.  I was told I can attach it to my modem/router (one unit) via ethernet cable.  When I use airport utility it tells me the device is not connected or found.  Any input?

    I just bought an Airport Extreme.  Sales rep told me I could plug it into my existing modem/router (one unit) from isp. vie ethernet cable and it would speed up my internet.  When I open airport utility it tells me device is not connected yet my internet still works.  Was the rep wrong about speeding up my internet or is it not compatible with my isp unit?

    Sales rep told me I could plug it into my existing modem/router (one unit) from isp. vie ethernet cable and it would speed up my internet.
    Sorry, but this is not correct. Your Internet connection speed is established by the plan that  you have with your Internet Service Provider. The AirPort Extreme will not "speed it up".
    Unless there is some special feature that the AirPort Extreme provides that you need, adding another wireless router...when you already have one.... is not going to buy you anything.
    The AirPort Extreme is compatible with your modem/router if you want to continue to try to hook it up.  It will really help if you have a Mac for the configuration as the Windows Firewall often blocks connection and configuration attempts.

  • My MAC mini looses the wi-fi connection to a Belkin N wireless router when it goes to sleep or shut down.  I have to re select the network when restarting or waking the computer up.  I think this just started with Lion.  My iPod and iPad  have no trouble.

    My MAC MINI looses the wi-fi connection to a Belkin N wireless router when it goes to sleep or shuts down.  I have to re select the network when re starting or waking up the computer.  I think this just started with LION.  My iPod and iPad have no problem remembering the wireless network.

    Thank you BGreg.  That is what I have been doing, and then it works just fine.  I think it was doing the same thing in the previous version of Lion.  I may be incorrect about that.  I upgraded to 10.7.3 a few weeks ago, and then last week I reloaded the combo update, hoping it would help.  Not so.  Thank you for letting me know it is a common problem.  I have tried permissions in Disk Utilities, and in Macaroni, both at least 4 times, plus numerous restarts.  Nothing Improves.  It still can not find the internet when it wakes up or gets up.

  • My NEW Airport Extreme keeps shutting down.

    My NEW Airport Extreme keeps shutting down at random intervals. No power light, not amber, green or flashing. I had to reset it four time this morning in a 10 minute span this morning. I have plugged it into the wall socket directly and now in a surge protector but still having issues. At time it just shuts down while being online. This Airport Extreme is not even three weeks home from being bought at an Apple store.

    Take the defective AirPort Extreme back to the Apple Store and exchange it for another device.

  • FF4.0 Windows XPv3 drag tab to 2nd screen, drag bar off screen at top, close other browser window, shuts down both browser instances. BTW, look at how SAFARI does the drag tab to other screen, that is how!

    FF4, drag 2nd tab to new window.
    2. top dragbar is off screen at top. I unmaximize the original screen, now that one also pushes the drag bar to the top off the screen. I resize the bottom of the screen and I can see a sliver of the top dragbar. If I close one browser window, both shut down. Auch!
    Please take a look at how safari renders a second browser window when you drag one tab to the other window. Cool!
