Why can't I find my AEBS wirelessly?

I can't seem to connect to my old Airport Express Base Station this morning. I can't log onto the network--it seems to be there, but without enough power to log on. When I physically connect to it with a data cable, it's fine, and I can change configurations, etc., but can't access it or the Internet wirelessly at all. Any idea what's up?
It is a 4+ year old Airport Extreme...could this be a hardware failure?

Thanks, Smokerz. I had tried resetting both the router and modem, so I knew that wasn't it. Also had tried removing AEBS and redoing it. But the password protection hint seems to have solved the problem. I removed all security from the AEBS so there was no protection and revised the base station, also deleting the network. Then I rebuilt it with new WPA2 protection and recreated the network. That did it.

  • Why can't i find Time Machine Back Up Device in Hard Drive

    Why can't i find Time Machine  Device in Hard Drive when i have plugged it already. White light just keeps on blinking.

    Understanding and resolving a blinking status light
    Here are the reasons that the status light may blink:
    Your Time Capsule has detected that the internal hard drive has reported a SMART error
    The base station has not yet been configured
    The base station has been reset.
    A new firmware update is available for the base station.
    No IP address is available for the base station.
    A Wi-Fi base station in Extended Mode is out-of-network Wi-Fi range of a primary Wi-Fi base station.
    The WAN Ethernet cable is unplugged from the Wi-Fi base station.
    The Wi-Fi base station lacks a path to the Internet (or local router).
    Internet access may be temporarily unavailable from your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
    A persistent, blinking, amber status light indicates that your base station may require your attention.
    How to resolve a blinking amber status light alert
    Launch AirPort Utility to determine why your base station status light is blinking amber.
    AirPort Utility opens automatically if your Wi-Fi base station requires your attention. You may also choose to launch AirPort Utility at any time.
    In the AirPort Utility window, locate your Wi-Fi base station and double-click on it to open the Summary window. Note: If you have more than one Wi-Fi base station, double-click on the icon for the Wi-Fi base station that has the amber circle next to it.
    When the Summary window appears, double-click the amber circle to the right of Wi-Fi base station Status to open the Status window.
    The Status window lists any conditions that require your attention. Respond to each item until there are no more items listed.
    Eliminating the blinking, amber status light may require making changes to a specific setting, or putting a checkmark in the "Ignore" checkbox beside any option you don't wish to change. A checkmark simply tells the AirPort that you are aware of the issue and you have chosen to ignore it. For example, you may wish to leave your AirPort open without a password so that anyone can join your wireless network.
    Click Update to apply your changes (the base station will restart).
    After the base station has restarted, the status light should be green and not blinking. If the status light stays amber in color and blinks after the Wi-Fi base station restarts, you may repeat the steps above.

  • Why can't I find certain Pantone plus colors in Illustrator CS6 color books?

    Why can't I find certain Pantone plus colors in Illustrator CS6 color books? For example I want to use PMS 2296C, but it is not coming up in the color swatch book in Illustrator.

    Thanks!
    I actually just came across the same thing in the meantime.
    And it worked!
    If you bought the physical Pantone books, there is a registration/serial number on the back. You can go to Pantone and register it (https://www.pantone.com/pages/MYP_myPantone/mypProductRegistration.aspx)
    Then you're able to download the Pantone manager.
    There are infact 336 new colors added to the Pantone Plus series. And this is where you need to get them. Once you have them, in Pantone color manager, you go to: File/Export/Adobe Illustrator/sRB. Then restart Illustrator.
    Once you go back in, the new 336 colors are available!

  • Why can't EXS find my instruments and samples?

    Why can't EXS find my Instruments and Samples?
    LPX 10.0.7
    I have had issues with this problem before, and have spent a few hours looking throughout the many related threads on this forum and on Logic Pro Help without finding a workable solution.  So I will jump in again and hope for someone to shed some light on this.
    Here is the scenario- I have two rigs, one in my studio and another on my laptop (2.5 gh Intel core 2 Duo with 4GB RAM). I have a duplicate of my sample library on a portable drive, which I take with me when I'm using my laptop. I recently copied a Project I'm working on from the portable drive to my main system. When I open the project, I get a message telling me that certain (not all) EXS files are not found.
    Some further pertinent info:
    I have not saved the EXS files with the project- the project uses a sizable template and that would be cumbersome.
    All of the EXS instruments/samples in the Project are there on both my internal sample drive and the portable drive.
    The aliases linking my Application support Logic folder and the sample drive are correct and in place.
    This happens whether I have the portable drive mounted on my main rig or not. And whether I open the Project from the portable drive or from the copy on the internal drive.
    I have reindexed the internal sample drive with Spotlight. Didn't help.
    I have refreshed the Instrument menu from within EXS. Didn't seem to do anything.
    Anyone?

  • Why can´t  I find my 5d Mark ii in the finder when I connect it with my mac?

    Why can´t  I find my 5d Mark ii in the finder when I connect it with my mac?

    Because it is not a mass storage device that would appear in the Finder. It uses the Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) to interface with a computer. It can be accessed using an application that uses PTP, such as Image Capture, iPhoto, Aperture, or Canon's software. These applications also support more camera-specific features than the Finder would, such as tethered shooting and possibly camera clock synchronization.

  • Why can't the finder in Mountain Lion 10.8.2 find files that have successfully downloaded, or that other programs can find?

    Why can't the finder in Mountain Lion 10.8.2 find files that have successfully downloaded, or that other programs can find?
    This happens with maybe 1 out of 5 files. These are files that have either an ."aa" extention, or or are libraries that icloud can see, but finder can't.

    Files beginning with a period are invisible and library files are system files. Spotlight cannot find either unless configured to do so (btw, this is not a Finder issue but a Spotlight issue.)
    Get Spotlight to search system files (and more)
    Enter the search term in the Finder window's search field.
    Click the [+] button in the search bar to add a search option.
    In the first drop down menu choose Other.
    Choose “System Files” from the list that pops up (and check the box to place in drop down menu to avoid this step later,) click on the OK button.
    Now back in the Finder choose Include from the second drop down menu.
