When I try to extend network, doesn't find my network

Hi, My Airport Extreme is connected to my modem via ethernet. When I use the Airport utility and try to extend my network, it only gives me the option to extend a different network - I'm assuming a wireless one in my neighborhood - but does not give me the option to extend the network for the modem it is connected to.

Apple cannot extend non-apple wireless networks.. you create a wireless network with the same name and security settings if you want a roaming network.
Extend will result in severe network issues and apple may have finally modified the airport utility to stop you doing it which is a good thing.

  • When I try to export Premier doesn't have the quicktime  option

    When I try to export Premier doesn't have the quicktime  option but it still has all the other file types

    Hi,
    There can be a problem with the activation.
    Please share a screen shot of the different export format options you are getting at the time of export along with the name of the operating system.
    Probably then we can get to the bottom of this issue.
    Thanks.

  • When I try to login it doesn't recognise my birthdate - I forget passwords, but not my birthday! And it used to work just fine.  Have I been hijacked??

    When I try to access my password (which I'm sure is correct - I wrote it down naughty gran!) it doesnt recognise my birthday!  So I tried via 'send me an email' twice and I don't get one (I tried twice).  Have I been hijacked??  (BTW I accessed the forum via another account, but I'm annoyed cos I cant access photostream and anxious cos the other one is linked to my credit card)

    Start with the most basic thing that you can try. Unplug the router from power for about 30 seconds, and restart the printer and the iPad and plug the router back into power.

  • I bought my Iphone 4 from Sprint. I have little or no internet service. When I go into extended network areas, my phone sends old text messages to my friends, repeatedly. Is this a Sprint issue?

    I bought my I-Phone 4s from Sprint. The salesman raved about how much faster my internet would be with Sprint, also told me 4g was being added my area, and it would be even faster. Well now 4g is here. All of my friends on AT&T enjoy 4g, while I am only getting 3g, my internet is so slow, I rarely use it!
    Last week I visited the Sprint store where I purchased my phone, to find out what the problem was. They told me NONE of the I-Phones were capable of getting 4g??????  Wow, Has anyone else been blatantly lied to by Sprint.
    The other issue I am having is: every time I leave my home area, and go into the extended area network, and then return into my home area, my phone starts resending old text messages to my friends, that they had recieved days ago!. Of course the Sprint Personnel argued with me and said those were just messages that never went through the first time. I have screenshots of the duplicate messages from my friends, phones.
    My I-Phone was great for the first 2 months. this month my I-Phone has completely quit 3 times, Sprint says a tower is down every time I call in to report it.
    Is anyone else having these problems with the I-phone 4s?

    You are not alone on issues related to weak signals.  It happens to us all regardless of the carrier in the US. 
    I have an iPhone4, legally unlocked with replaceable SIM that I use here In Australia, the US and Europe.  I simply replace the SIM to phone accounts in other countries.  Do have issues at home here in Australia from time to time, but many more problems in the US than any other country.
    When the signal is weak, ususally 1 bar the phone does not have enough power to stay connected.  It will attempt to receive and send, but is trying to process so much that the signal cannot cope. 
    If any employee from Sprint, ATT or any other carrier attempts to tell you it is you and not their system they are out right lying.  Just as they lied when they told you that the iPhone was 4G.  Some try to get around the issue by saying 3GLite, but that really does not apply either because of the mobiles frequency range. 
    In fact the Australian government fined Apple AUD$2.25 million + $330,000 in costs for advertising that the new iPad was 4G and LTE, which it is not.  There is currently another legal challenge over the iPhone4S.
    If you have anything in writing from Sprint that says 4G then you need to contact your states attorney general.  At least file a complaint with both Sprint and the FCC.  If they tell you it is 4G then they either are lying or they do not have a clue to the mobile.
    When the signal is weak the phone keeps attempting to send anything that you have sent.  Sometimes that means multiple sends if the signal keeps dropping to low and it has to try all over again.
    One way around the problem is by using an internet or data based app like Viber or WhatsApp.  Both are voice, text and data Apps that will use Wi-Fi first then 3G if Wi-Fi is not available.  Because they use the data side of your mobiles plan it does not take as much power or size to receive or send.  Plus, because they are primarily Wi-Fi then data bases they do not use as much time or text units.  You can find them online or through the Apple App Store.
    Iv used Viber for years because I can use it overseas or talk, video, text or msg internationally without use of any mobile plan time.
    Rember to that in the states you have I think 72 days to return a mobile to the carrier without any charges. 
    I use ATT in the states and when I am at home here I get almost no signal ... I depend 99% on Viber or WhatsApp to even talk.

  • Who do I contact to manage usage on IPad l ? When I try to downgrade it doesn't respond to "done" .

    I need to downgrademy cloud storage but the app in settings to manage usage won't let me click "done".

    Hello John,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 
    The most likely reason for not being able to click the "done" button is that you have missed a particular step. Take a look at the section "Downgrade your icloud storage plan" and make sure you have hit all the steps. 
    From that article referencing iOS:
    iOS:
    If you're using iOS 8, go to Settings > iCloud > Storage. If you're using an earlier version of iOS, go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
    Tap Change Storage Plan.
    Tap Downgrade Options and enter your Apple ID password.
    Choose a different plan to use when your current storage plan expires.
    Tap Done.

  • Switched on my imac 24inch intel based and all I get on screen is a folder with question mark flashing,I had backup on external hard drive but when I try to reinstall it can not find my mac hard drive

    Hi when I started my intel based imac this morning all I am getting is a folder with question mark in the middle flashing,I have external hard drive with backup,but when run disc utilities it does not show my mac hard drive.hope someone can help.(it's running mountain lion, well it was)

    Try starting up your Mac while holding down the Option key. That should prompt the Startup Manager window where you can select the startup disk then click Restart.
    The question mark folder indicates your Mac cannot find a system folder to boot from.
    A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac

    I can not open itunes on my computer. It started when an upgrade appeared. Now I get a message that states This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. I tried to reinsall the application but it did not help. I also get a message iTunes was not installed correctly.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • When i try to sync music it does find originals

    I can't sync my music from my library to my ipad2

    Make sure that you select in settings on iTunes for auto and not manual management of files, if you prefer to manual manage, select files in main window and drag to iPad in left hand window, then drop and they should sync.

  • Strange Behaviour when Extending Network

    I used to have my cable modem plugged in to my TC and a Linksys WRT54G running DD-WRT extending the network and providing ethernet access to my TV, XBOX and Satellite TV box (none of which have WIFI) and it worked fine.  I recently moved the TC so it took the place of the Linksys router and used another wireless router to connect to the cable modem.
    The problem I'm having is that when I try and extend the wireless network using the TC it's not working.  The status light is flashing orange and if I connect to the wireless network I can't see the TC on the network at all.  The wireless router is showing the TC in the DHCP client list, but I can't see the TC on the network.  If I disable wireless on my MBP and connect to the TC directly through ethernet I can see it, and it reports in Airport utility that it can't extend the woreless network.  The *realy* strange thing, is that even though it's reporting it can't connect to the network, it is because it's providing internet access through the ethernet connection to the MBP (which has wifi disabled, so this is the only place it could be getting it from!).  I've tried resetting/rebooting everything, checked the firmware is up to date etc. but with no success.
    It's got me utterly baffled.  Anyone got any deas?

    Did not happen again in Logic 9 and after starting a fresh project.

  • AX X 2 - second not working - trying to extend network

    I have a AX connected to amy router and this works fine connecting to the internet. I also had another AX extending my network upstairs (+ printer connected to it) and they both worked fine. Recently my internet access speed has been not great so I reset both AX. Now the one connected to the router is working fine but when I try to extend the network with the other AX during set up it asks me to switch networks and I have to say yes to proceed but then it does not pick up the main AX so I cannot get it to extend the network.
    Any ideas

    i advise you to link the express that can not be seen up via ethernet cable, this will make it visible in the airport utility, once the settings have been put back and the WDS set back up, then u can put the ethernet cables + airport express back to the way they were before the reset.

    Alright, when you are attempting to FaceTime someone, are you connected to WiFi? With the iPhone 4, it does not support using FaceTime over the cellular network, you will need to be connected to Wi-fi.
