Why does my airport extreme have 2 of the LAN port on but not the main light after a lightning strike ??!

pleasee help!!

Unfortunately, this is a symptom that a power surge has damaged the AirPort Extreme. There is likely nothing that can be done other than replacing the device.
If you have an Apple store or authorized servicer in your area, you should take it to them so they can have a look at the device to confirm. As user stinkybumbler mentions, it would be a good idea to have any of your sensitive electronic gear plugged into a high quality surge protection device.

  • Why does my airport extreme not recognize my cable modem anymore?

    Why does my airport extreme not recognize my cable modem anymore?

    Have you tried resetting the modem? Power it down and let it rest a moment, then power it back up again.
    Also, some ISPs require physically detaching their cable from the modem for it to be fully reset. Literally unscrew it from the modem. Try that, in conjunction with powering it down.
    Don't do anything with your Extreme, other than powering it down too, in the event the modem reset does not help. Reconfiguring it may be necessary but this is not justified quite yet.

    If you bought them on your iPad then you will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and you can then sync them to your iPhone - ringtones are a one-time only download, so you won't be able to redownload them directly on your phone.

  • HT4993 My volume down button is not working.  The UP button works, but not the down button.  I have tried to restart it and that didn't solve the problem.

    My volume down button doesn't work on my iPhone.  The UP buttown works, but not the down button.  I have tried a hard reset and that didn't fix it.

    Try this.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Certain music videos will not play in iTunes.  The music plays fine but not the video.  No picture.

    Certain music videos will not play in iTunes.  The music plays fine but not the video.  No picture.  Same with the iPod.  Other videos in the library play fine. Help.

    Regular playlists vs smart playlist does not make a difference. What I noticed is that some videos create this behavior and some not. I created 2 videos and 2 music playlists, one with 2 songs and 2 videos (that I encoded myself with Handbrake). Another list with 2 videos and 2 songs, videos encoded with Handbrake, but that I noticed they triggered the behavior. The first playlist played fine, with no problems. The second one, created the problem. When I look at the video, it is the same type of video (bit rate, audio channels, etc...) I don't see why it would do that.
    Later I will test: playing those videos in question and then selecting songs to see if they play.

  • I am trying to install windows 7 to my Macbook pro with bootcamp but every time I open bootcamp I am only able to check the first two boxes but not the third one saying "install or remove Windows 7", any solutions ?

    Hi, I am trying to install Windows on my MacBook Pro with bootcamp. Every time I open bootcamp I am only able to check the first two boxes but not the third one saying "install or remove Windows 7". I did this before using the same computer and the same hard drive so I am not sure why this is happening now but did´t happen then. Any solutions ?

    Was your Bootcamp info.plist manipulated to change any options?

  • Why does 2 Airport Expresses connects to one another instead of connecting to the primary Airport Extreme For internet Connectivity ?

    I have Netgear DG834G router only for dsl connectivity wifi connectivity to that router is off. i have connected netgear that provides adsl connectivity to the  (Shakeel's Airport Extreme) Airport Extreme dual band Wireless N 5th generation via cat 5 cable so airport extreme is the main wifi device through which i get wifi signals at my home. now our house is big and i have installed the adsl netgear modem and airport extreme router at the same place in my room in the upper story but the signals are weak even in the upper story at the other end of the house so i have installed the new airport express dual band wireless N in the upper story (Kafeel's airport express) and it is connected to the primary airport extreme  (Shakeel's Airport Extreme) wireless router in range extention mode it repeats the same ssid. Our ground floor has another airport express dual band wireless N the new one ( Lounge's airport express) signal was weak there so i installed another airport express (Lounge's Airport Express) their and configured it to extend the range of primary router airport extreme  (Shakeel's Airport Extreme) in the upperstory with the same ssid. Now the problem i am facing that sometimes lounge's airport express connects to kafeel's airport express instead of connecting to the airport extreme and the signals in lounge are weak because all the devices are connected to kafeels airport express and does not connect to lounge air port express. but when lounge airport express is connected to primary router airport extreme then everything works fine devices connect to lounge airport express and signals are full. i have took pictures of the problem i am facing you will understand better by having a look at it. In normal working setup both the airport expresses are connected to airport extreme which is shown in this picture
    The second picture shows when lounge airport express is connected to kafeels airport express and not the airport extreme (Shakeel's Airport Extreme) this is the problem.
    isnt there a way to correct this so that they dont connect with each other and connect to the airport extreme ?

    Lounge's AirPort Express must be located signficantly closer to Shakeel's AirPort Extreme than it is to Kafeel's AirPort Express, and there must be fewer obstructions in the signal path than the other possible connection.
    The reason is that if you want Lounge's AirPort Express to connect to Shakeel's AirPort Extreme, it must receive a significantly stronger wireless signal from Shakeel's AirPort Extreme than it does from Kafeel's AirPort Express.

  • TS1253 i have airport extreme, and printer works with my imac, but not with my mac book pro??

    i tried setting up the printer under my wireless network only, and using the printer information, tried both and nothing works, my imac's same settings for the printer, and just cant get it to work.
    i am ussing airport extreme, and it shows printer conecting etc. but then it says not programed correctly and it fails.
    i dont know what else to try, i have followed every step on the manual, and nothing works..
    someone help me

    Could you open System Profiler on the iMac and the MBPro and select the Printers entry. Then in the top right pane you can select the printers entry and the bottom right pane will show information about your setup. Can you copy this information from both Mac's and paste back here.

  • Airport Extreme blocking internet on phone and ipad but not imac

    I got a new TIme Warner cable modem yesterday and since then my Airport Extreme does not work properly.
    Time Warner see it at their end but told me that it blocks the signal from the modem to the computer.
    However after much fiddling around with it I managed to get it working again with my computer.
    So now I have wireless internet on my computer, but although the router is recognized by my ipad and my phone it won't connect them to the internet.
    I restarted all devices multiple times and I even reset the entire network.
    What is going on?
    Also, I'm using an old Airport Extreme (the round one) that Apple no longer supports, however I also have a newer square version, but my computer doesn't recognize it at all. What gives?

    I have had the same issue for the past few weeks and finaly it is resolved. I had the regular modem from Timewarner and it was working perfectly with my AEBS for the past 2 years. No issues at all. Out of nowhere 3 weeks ago my mo AEBS started getting the 169.x.x.x ip address therefore not communicating with the modem. Cutting the story short, I had Timewarner's Tier 1, 2 and 3 involved. 3 different techs and their suppervisors visited my house pointing finger at the Apple and I contaced Apple and got no resolutions either. The AEBS at somepoit would connect to the internet and then stop communicatiog due to invalid ip address. I decided to change my modem to a more advanced modem ARRIS TG852 (Telephony modem with wireless) from TimeWarner. That did not solve the issue either. I also tried the solution Tesserax offered above but unfortunatly it did notwork for me. as of one houre ago I resolved the problem and would like to share it with you.
    Standard Timewarner modem:
    1. Call Timewarner and have the tech support configure your modem remotely into a Bridge Mode. (yes that simple)
    2. Factory reset you AEBS and go through the setup.
    ARRIS modems or any other wifi capable modems/routers:
    1. Call Timewarner and have the tech support configure your WiFi modem remotely into a Bridge Mode. (yes that simple) Sadly enough non of the techs offered this to me or was even aware that this will resolve the issue. Now they know. LOL
    OR
    1. Get to your routers setup page. for ARRIS go to http://192.168.100.1
    2. Login as admin and use default password "password" to login.
    3. go to Firewall tab and disable the firewall (your AEBS will have its own firewall)
    4. to to Wireless tab and Disable wireless (uncheck the box)
    5. go to LAN tab and under the NAT title which is close to the bottom of the page select "Bridge"
    This option will reset your modem. Give it a few minutes for your modem to reestablish connections with its center and come back to life.
    Now your Timewarner WiFi modem is turned into a dumb modem (bridge mode) and your AEBS will work like a charm. 
    6. Factory reset you AEBS and go through the setup. 
    It only took me 3 weeks to figure this out by trying any possible combination of settings and resetings and reconfiguration you can imagin. I have recreated this issue and resolved it following these steps and it worked for me. I hope it works for anyone else that may be facing the same challenge.
    Cheers

  • Why does Back To My Mac work for my Time Capsule, but not my MacBook?

    I'm having problems using Back To My Mac from work to my home network. Initially, I thought it was something to do with the way the work network had been set up, but recently I realised that I have no problems connecting to my Time Capsule… It's just that I can't connect to my MacBook Pro. It is showing up in the devices on the left panel, but when I try to connect to it, I get this message:
    So why can I connect to the Time Capsule HD okay, but not the Mac?

  • Can't get airport express to print.  Music transfers wirelessly but not the print.  How do I fix this

    I cant get the airport express to connect to computer for printing.  It does connect for music but not printing.  How do I correct this

    Don't know, how did you hook it up (what kind of cable)? You can send audio through an HDMI connection provided a MacBook Pro is (I believe) from 2009 or newer.
    Converting to VGA or DVI will not send audio - if you're using that kind of connection, you'll need to add an audio cable from the headphones port.
    Also check the Sound Out setting in the Sounds panel of System Preferences.
