How can I convert a coaxial internet feed to an ethernet for connection to an AirPort Extreme?

I'm interested in purchasing an AirPort Extreme but I'm not sure how to convert the coaxial internet cable to ethernet to connect to the airport. Does anybody know of a good converter?

If the Internet feed is provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) you will need an outboard cable modem that accepts the coaxial signal and converts it to Ethernet for use with the AirPort Extreme.
Contact your Internet Service Provider to learn what modem they recommend for use with their service.

Do I have to have an active internet connection while using Audition

Do I have to have an active internet connection while using Audition? Sometimes I will want to take it on my laptop to places where I will be unable to get an internet connection. Will the program still work in such cases?

As long as you aren't using the Cloud for audio file storage, yes it will. I believe that it may occasionally need to "phone home" to check your credentials if you are using a CC version but only about once a month. It should warn you though I think but providing you have been using it at home in the days before you are away from the internet it should be OK.

Hello, I'm trying to connect my new TiVo XL4 box to my home network via an ethernet cable connection to my Airport Express but the TiVo box is not seeing the network. I have a green light emanating from the Airport Express so it is connected. Plz advise.

If you have not already done so, I suggest that you temporarily disconnect the Ethernet cable from the AirPort Express that goes to the Tivo box.
Instead, turn off the wireless on a laptop and connect the laptop to the Ethernet port on the Express. See if you can get an Internet connection on the laptop.
If you still cannot get an Internet connection on the laptop, try another Ethernet cable that you know is working correctly.
Post back on your results.

Why can't i connect to my airport w my ipad?

why does my ipda say it is connected to my airport wireless connection but i still have not internet?

Please perform a Factory Default Reset to clear the old, and possibly corrupted settings on the AirPort Extreme to get it back to original settings. Then, reconfigure the device again using the passwords of your choice.

Video playback while using airport express

For some reason I can't view music videos on my computer while listening using external speakers with my airport express. Is there some setting I'm missing? Thanks for the help

This bug has gotten worse in 10.5.7, now the attempt to play a music video while using AE speakers results in a iTunes authorization request. No matter how many times you try, it will not authorize to play these protected videos while AE speakers are selected as output.
I talked to Apple Support and they were unaware of this bug. They directed me to a kb article that talked about authorizing using the admin account and this did not resolve the problem.
The only fix is to deselect the AE speakers.
I have logged a bug report with Apple for this issue.
I think it would help if others logged the bug as well if we want to get it fixed. We should be allowed to use AE speakers for this type of playback in any case.
Best regards,
JP

Are we able to stream using Airport?

We have an airport extreme, airport express and a Sony PS3. Are we able to use either to stream iTunes/iPhoto to our Sony PS3? If so, where on PS would we find it?
Thanks.
also, are we able to use airport with WD MYBook Studio (2TB) as a network storage device? If so, what steps do we have to take...?

We have an airport extreme, airport express and a Sony PS3. Are we able to use either to stream iTunes/iPhoto to our Sony PS3?
In this case the PS3 is a DLNA player, not an AirPlay device. Two different technologies for streaming. You would need a DLNA server to stream to the PS3 as iTunes itself does not provide this type of service. There are a number of options out there. One example would be TVMOBILI.
also, are we able to use airport with WD MYBook Studio (2TB) as a network storage device? If so, what steps do we have to take...?
No with the AirPort Express; yes for the AirPort Extreme. Basically you would connect the HDD to the USB port of the Extreme, and then, use the AirPort Utility to configure it to be shared out on the network.
Using AirPort Utility v6.x: AirPort Utility > Select the Extreme > Edit > Disks tab > Enable file sharing

TS3367 why does my screen freeze while using face time?

Why does my screen freeze on my iphone 4 while using face time? I am connected to wi-fi and internet is working fine.

Is your iPhone storage capacity full or close to it?
Try a reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release. A reset is similar to computer restart.

Why are my .avi files extracted using PE3 only playing audio when using Windows Media Player?

I extracted a lot of my old movies using PE3 that came from my 8MM camera. They played fine on XP.
I now have Windows7 64 bit and when I play them in Windows Media Player, they only play the sound.
I'm guessing that this is a codec issue.
Should I re-extract them using a different product that uses a more standard codec?
Thanks!

It depends on your workflow. So we'll need more details.
How did you digitize the video from your 8mm camcorder? Many devices capture as AVIs, but do so while using codecs that aren't universally playable. Also, do make sure you've got the latest version of Quicktime on your new computer. It can add some important video functionality to your computer.
You say you used Premiere Elements to "extract" your movie. How did you do this? Did you use a device like the ADS Pyro AV Link or Grass Valley Canopus AVDC?
Finally, are you trying to play the raw files or did you create a project with them in Premiere Elements and then Export/Share your video? And, if the latter, which output settings did you choose?
Meantime, try downloading VLC Player to your new computer and see if it can play the files. It is a much better player than Windows Media Player (or Quicktime Player, for that matter). And let us know yoru results.
As I've said, the more details you can give us, the more likely we can help you.

Why is firefox continuously connecting while on a web page? The wheel is spinning every 10 seconds or so. I reinstalled firefox so I need help.

Firefox is continuously "connecting" while I am on the web. It does not matter what site I am on but it keeps connecting (wheel spinning) every 10 seconds or so. Like it is reloading the page. The page does not go away, but it is driving me crazy as it did not used to do this. I did download a free trial of WordPerfect, but it was not what I was looking for and deleted it. I also reinstalled Firefox, so I am not sure what is going on. Help Please! I have a Windows 7 Sony Vaio computer. I ran the virus check a couple of times and it came up okay.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Internet connection loss using Airport Extreme and Netgear DG843

Hello,
I am accessing internet via a Netgear DG834 router (not wifi), connected to an Airport Extreme base station. Most of the time, I can access internet through the Wifi network of the AEB without any problem. But around once a day I am experiencing connection loss and the only way I found to restore it is to reset the Netgear Router by physically unplungging it.
Both the Netgear and the AEB have up to date firmware, so I suspect some kind of problem in my setup, as I am not an expert in setting up networks.
Is it possible that using a Netgear Router connected to the AE (which is also a router if I understand correctly) could cause connection problems ?
I am at a loss, and do not even know how to describe the relevant informations of my current setup. If a kind soul could help me nonetheless, I would be very gratefull.

Is it possible that using a Netgear Router connected
to the AE (which is also a router if I understand
correctly) could cause connection problems ?
Yes.
Ensure that that the AEBS is configured to not distribute IP addresses.
Also ensure that the AEBS is on a different channel to the DG834G.

Ethernet/wireless connectivity issues with Airport Express

I am having problems with my PC seeing my newly aquired AE and was hoping someone can help, none of the topics already discussed seem to be exaclty the same as my issue.
Scenario:
* iTunes on the PC does not detect the AE so I cannot play my iTunes setup through my stereo.
* The PC can ping the AE.
* The PC can configure the AE if I open the AirPort utility and go to File, Configure Other and enter teh units details.
* Both laptops can connect to the AE via iTunes and the AE Utility also picks up the device.
Equipment
* I have an Open Networks 625W 4 port ADSL router with wireless included in the unit.
* My PC is connected to my LAN via ethernet and is running Windows Vista fully service packed.
* I have two laptops both connected via wireless on my LAN and all devices (ethernet and wireless) can see each other.
* I have an AE with latest firmware and the latest version of the Airport Utility running.
* The bonjour service is running on the PC.
* I have tried turning the PC's F/W off with no change.
* I have tried connecting one of the laptops to my network via ethernet and had the same issues as the PC.
Configuration:
I have tried many different methods of configuration but the one that has me working this far is-
* Joined to a wireless network.
* Using DHCP (and getting IP addresses fine off the third party router)
* Connection sharing is off by default so its working in bridged mode.
Its almost as if the router is not allowing those packets related to Airtunes to pass through from/to the wireless router(and I have tried so many different settigns there). I believe Bonjour is required and Im not sure if any routers have issues with bonjour but I believe its encapsulated within IP packets (not sure on that though). Or Maybe some routers don't work in this scenario and I need to update to a Belkin Wireless G or N or other. Or maybe the software will only accept direct wireless connections if its configured for wireless - I have no idea and am losing hair fast.
Please, any help would be appreciated.

I finally cracked it!
I have enabled dynamic routing with RIP v2 (v1 works too), enabled multicast with IGMP proxy and used a bridge filter allowing all traffic between the LAN and the wireless networks. All three settings are required with my router. If I drop any of them AE from LAN to wireless will not work.

Why are some items connected wireless and some are not

I have Airport extreme and an Airport acting as an extender. I'm using a cable modem connected via ethernet. We have an iMac, iPad, Macbook, 3 iPhones and a Kendle. Some items will be connected to the internet automatically, no problem. But some will not. When I reboot the modem, then the items that previously were not connected now are and the the other items are not. Confusing. I have tried going through Network and Airport Utility, but no help.

This would appear to be a fault with your modem not with the Extreme. Try calling your ISP for help.

Ethernet Printer Connected directly into Airport

If I connect a printer (in this case an Xerox Doc12) to the ethernet port of an Airport Extreme or Airport Express Base Station can I then print to it wirelessly?
Like you can do for USB printing.
I have bought a Xerox Doc12 and it will only fit in my garage, my wireless enabled G5 Tower is two floors up and I need to send jobs to it that way as I dont have an ethernet lead long enough to send it by a wired ethernet connection. Hope that made sense.
Ur help would be greatly appretiated.
Thanks in advance Karl

I don't know that printer, but I do have an Xerox Phaser 8200 that prints wirelessly via the ethernet port on an AEBS. You just have to give it an IP addy and when you set up your printer, use that in the wizard.
A little tougher to configure, especially if folks that don't already have the printer set up on their machine try to print, but it works fine. Hopefully it will work the same for your Xerox.
