Why does my AE gen 2 crash when I put my iPhone MAC address in?

AE gen 2 with Time Capsule.
I use MAC address for security (I think that is OK). I have a number of items that need WIFI and their specific MAC addresses are put into the box. All OK so far! Recently my wife and I have purchased iPhone which I also want to have access to WIFI from AE. In goes WIFI address for both phones and it will not restart after 'UPDATE' command given.
Push the reset button while it is plugged in and it comes back minus the MAC addresses specific to the iPhone!!!!!
Any ideas? Could it need replacing?
I tried going to WPA2 Personal but my wifes laptop kept coming back with "Connection Timed Out".
Have done HARD reset (Reset button with power cord out then insert while keeping reset button pushed) and no difference.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thx
David

Both our laptops are MacBook Pros.
Then they both really shouldn't have any issues connecting to a wireless network configured to use WPA2 Personal which uses the AES/CCMP encryption protocol. Currently the strongest security type available for consumer wireless networking.
I was under the impression MAC addresses were pretty secure.
Although MAC addresses are unique, as I have mentioned they can be spoofed. So a wireless client, using a spoofed MAC address, can easily bypass any security method that relies on these addresses. The other security failacy is closing or disabling the broadcast of the wireless network name. This may thwart the most casual network leech, but like MAC addresses, the network name (or SSID) can still be found using utilities easily obtained from the Internet.

  • Why does Illustrator CS5.5 crash when opening 1.5GB sized vector layered files on my iMac OS X?

    Why does Illustrator CS5.5 crash when opening 1.5GB sized vector layered files on my iMac OS X?

    1.5GB for a vector file is very large. If you can ever open this file would recomend  file >> save as >> turn off PDF compatibility.
    Can you please tell us why your file is so large, you may have a problem such as deleted global swatches, or an exceptionally large number of items in your symbols, styles, brushes palette. For even the most complex illustration filling the entire 227.54" artboard, you should be under 20mb if you have no embedded or linked images.

    Why does my pages app crash when I try to email a document?

    Check for an update. Also if you're on 3G, try to doing it over WiFi to see if it works better because sometimes the network just can't handle it so the app crashes to protect itself.

    You don't have the typical symptoms that I associate the following issue with (normally the error kicks in just when folks visit the Store), but just in case try gn_id's suggestion from the following post:

  • Why does Adobe 9 standard crash when using the digital signature

    When using the digital signature in Adobe 9 standard it crashes, it has been repaired, uninstalled and reinstalled and still crashes when putting in the digital signature and not understanding why. Also the digital signature was redone. Your thoughts on this would be most helpful.

    I had the same problems and was VERY frustrated.
    I finally solved my problem by uninstalling reader 9.1, air, acrobat.com and THEN after a restart, installing a lite version of reader 9.1 from this site:
    Good Luck!

    Download and install the latest flash plugin only from the adobe flash download page.  I believe safari is disabling or removing older versions of the flash plugin.

  • Why does LabView 7.1 crash when using "Get Channel Info" vi ?

    Hello,
    I have written a program to get channel information for all my virtual channels. It worked fine in Labview 6i but when we upgraded to 7.1, it crashes with "Labview has generated errors and will be closed by WIndows". We have a SCXI-1001 with 6 SCXI 1102 modules, 2 SCXI 1102B modules, 1 SCXI-1102C module, and one SCXI-1140 module. Debugging reveals that the program crashes when the 1102C module channels are reached. I have attached the code I am currently using. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Neil

    Hello,
    I have two questions for you please:
    1. You mentioned early that debugging revealed that the problem was being originated on the SCXI-1102C module. Can you please try taking this module out and test your program again? Also try testing only one module and see if it works, then keep on adding more and see what happens.
    2. I run your program on LabVIEW 7.1 and it didn't give me any problems. In general, anything on LabVIEW 6.1 cab be recognized by LabVIEW 7.1, so maybe the order of installation you did is not correct. Did you first take the board out, uninstall the previous version of NI-DAQ you had, install LabVIEW 7.1, then NI-DAQ 7.3 and then plugged the board in?
    Please let me know about this.
    Thanks,
    LA

  • Why does my illustrator CC crash when I save my files?

    I own/manage a print/design company. We have 4 PC's running the Adobe Suite. We have recently all had issues when saving files in AI. When files begin to save the program freezes for up to 30-45 seconds, if we click anywhere during that time a window comes up saying that "Adobe illustrator has crashed" The PC's are fully upgraded, SSD's, 2GB GTI cards, 32GB ram and a big scratch disk for the Adobe Suite.
    What causes this?

    I just got this computer in December. I have been using CS5 with no problems at all. Yesterday, I tried to save a very simple file to the desktop and illustrator crashed. It is happening any time I try to save the file to anyplace other than the one file that comes up when I use the "save as" or "save" command. Its happening no matter how small the file is.
    I have already removed almost everything from my desktop as one person suggested. I have uninstalled illustrator, run the cleaner program, restarted and re installed illustrator. I have updated illustrator to the current version.
    I am using osx yosemite 10.10.2
    I have 16 g of memory.
    I have 258G free out of 500G total of storage.
    I am at a loss.
    Do you know why it would be crashing?
    Please help.
    Thank you.

  • Why does my I pad crash when in different apps.?

    No matter what app I an in my iPad crashes.  Please let me know why...

    Try resetting: Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.
    If that does not work, try downloading any new free or paid app from the App Store and see if your other apps work.

  • Why does my macbook pro crash when I connect my external hard drive?

    When I connect my external hard drive to my macbook pro (with fire wire) it crashes my computer... Any thoughts or help??

    Thanks for the response. I tried both methods with the same end result.
    I'm in safe mode now. It doesnt show up as being plugged in. It worked fine when connected with the USB-I went to disk utilities and repaired the disk.
    I tried to plug in with the firewire, again and it shut down my computer..
    Any other suggestions?

  • Why does Premiere Elements 10 crash when I select transitions.

    Any time I try to select the transition tool the program crashes. Everything else seems to work just fine. I'm working in windows 7.

    MP!
    Thanks for the reply. From your description, it would appear that all you have to do is click on the Transition Tab and the program freezes/crashes.
    You do not even have to select a transition.
    If your video card/graphics card driver version is up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card, the card is not NVIDIA GeForce, and the problem is present in all projects, then
    1. Delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file
    Local Disk C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    10.0
    and in the 10.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 10.0 Folder in which
    the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives enabled so that
    you can see the complete path cited.
    2. If "1" does not resolve the problem, then go for
    Uninstall the usual Control Panel way
    free ccleaner run through (regular and registry parts)
    CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download
    Reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
    Any questions or need clarification on the above, please let us know.
    Thank you.
