Try this: Open up her Home folder (house icon), click Library then Preferences. Locate com.apple.softwareupdate.plst (I don't have my Mac handy so I can't double-check the name; that should be correct) and move it to the desktop or trash, then try running Software Update again. Also try running Software Update while logged in as another administrator.

Time Capsule not working as a router

I've done a search, but can't find anything that jumps out to me as the same issue.
I've recently ditched all my PC gear. Now have the following:
Mac Mini
2TB Time Capsule
MacBook Air
iPad
My issue is with the internet connectivity of the Time Capsule. I have the mac mini connected via Ethernet. It can get on the internet no problem. None of my wifi devices can at all. My ISP only allows two devices to ping out, and they need to be registered via MAC address. No big deal, except my Time Capsule isn't functioning like a router. So, the MAC address of my Mac Mini is registered, and it's working, but I can't register the Time Capsule. I'm pretty sure I'm missing something easy, but can't for the life of me figure out what it is. Figured instead of banging my head against the wall, I'd see if anyone had something similar happen to them?

Register by MAC address to the first device is generally used by cable companies. But the Modem acts as the first port of call and whatever device first is turned on, picks up the public IP address and the MAC is registered. It just works.
Your issue might be that the first device to register has a very long lease. Since you cannot power cycle you should ask the IT admin of the building who controls this setup to release and renew the IP after you plug in the TC otherwise it will not be recognised.. for days or weeks or however long the lease is set to.
But it could be 24hours.
Plainly you got the Mac Mini working.. how did you do that??
Sometimes you can just try overnight.. remove the Mac and plug in the TC.. but it is far easier to talk to the admin and get him/her to simply renew the lease.
The other method we use is spoof the MAC address of the device currently plugged in. ie grab the MAC address of the Mini and use it in the router.. to pretend it is really the Mini.. the router on the other end is none the wiser.
TC AFAIK, has no ability to spoof, but almost every other broadband router made can do it. Apple designed it for lowest common denominator in terms of networking ability.. to put it mildly.
Note your internet might be already behind a NAT.. if you use the TC or any other router in NAT mode there is an issue of double NAT with every site that requires interactive connection because there is no possible link from the site to your PC by forwarding the port. Double NAT effectively blocks it.
Check the IP you have on the Mini now.. if it is a private address.. ensure it is not 10.0.x.x by the way otherwise the TC will not work due to routing considerations. But any of the private IP address ranges are not routable over the internet and will give you issues.

Airport Express Not Working With Netgear Router

I have two Airport Expresses connected to my Netgear WNDR3300. I run Windows 7 on all my computers. One express works fine, wirelessly streaming music in several rooms. However, the other does not work unless it is plugged into my router. When it is unplugged and I try to connect to it via iTunes I have a "connection timed out" message. Genius wasn't able to help me, and the Apple support won't help me over the phone because the express is out of warranty. It is a 1st generation Express, but was working fine until I installed the newer express. Can anyone help?

I am sorry that I don't have a definitive answer but I also have Windows computers and I have "inherited" some older Apple devices from my son and am trying to learn about them so in addition to searching this group, I "Googled" "1st generation airport express" and it listed many specific posts in this group - I read them all and they might answer your question - good luck

Airport Express not working with wireless router

I just bought Airport Express to play music on my stereo. My PC running XP is connected to my wireless router (TeleWell TW-EA510v3) with ethernet cable and airport express wirelessly. Problem is that Airport Utility (and iTunes) can't find AE if it's not connected to router with ethernet cable.
I can connect to AE from Aiport Utility by "configure other" option so it's connected to my wireless network correctly.
Is this kind of set up even possible (pc wired to router and AE wireless)? I have tried tried WEP, WPA/WPA2 and no encryption on my wireless network and AE connects ok every time but Airport Utility still can't find it. I even tried to make a WDS network but AE was not compatible with my router. Now I can't come up with anything else to try.
Is there anything else to do? Should I buy WLAN adabter to my PC and would AE work then?
Why can't Apple make Airport Utility to recognise AE with given IP like with "configure other" option? Should not be too hard to program?!

Follow the isntruction lisetd below...they work.
Actually, the ae is a slick device, once you get it to work.
Make sure that one (or both) checkboxes in Airport Utility > Airport Express tab
(middle of page) are not checked...if one or both are checked, they limit (hide) wireless connectivity options (e.g., WEP-64) to choose from.
P.S. You must have patience: it may take a couple of minutes to establish the connection and turn the led to solid green. So, give it a chance.
===============================================================================
OMG!!! You are da man!!!
I have this streaming perfectly now!! Here is what I did for others to see and use (it does work perfectly)
Step 1) Clear/Reset the Airport Express
Step 2) Connect the Airport Express directly to the Router/Modem via Ethernet to set up Wireless
Step 3) Do it via the Manual Set-up Effort Listed Below following:
AirPort > Base Station
o Base Station Name: <rename or leave default>
o Base Station Password: <enter desired password>
o Verify Password: <re-enter desired password>
o Remember this password in my keychain: (optional)
o Set time automatically: (unchecked)
AirPort > Wireless
o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
o Network Name: <existing Linksys wireless network>
o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network> I have 64bit WEP
(Same as 40bit on the drop down menu)
o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
Music
o Enable AirTunes (checked)
o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
o Verify Password: (optional)
o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX
In iTunes:
iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)
Once it congratulates you, unplug the ethernet cable
Verify in Aitport Utility that it still recognizes (if not, repeat the above). Note this may take a few minutes, so be patient.
Now place the airport express with your stereo (or whatever) and again be patient as it tries to find the network
(mine took 4 minutes) then it turns green and you are off listening to music on your stereo downstairs in another room.
Frustrating when it does not work at first, but keep trying and it will work!!
Thanks everyone for your help!!

Only the wireless is not working on WRT54G Router

I have been using this wireless router for a while now. We had a snow storm couple of days ago and since then the wireless portion of it is not working. I have Vonage and other power adapters connected through the other ports. All of them work fine except for the wireless. I have been trying on 2 laptops and the cell phone but had no luck even after doing a hard reset on the router. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Snow storms do not affect wireless connections. We have close to a meter of snow on the ground. Temp -22 with windchill -30 does not affect my wireless connection on a WRT54G router. You may have had a power faillure or power surge that killed your router. Make sure your wireless is set to enable, Use a unique name for your network. Do not use Linksys as your network name. Enable the wireless switch on your laptop.

VOIP does not work via E4200 router

I have a new Polycom Soundpoint IP550 VOIP phone that was not connecting via my old WRT54GS router. I purchased a new router, the E4200, thinking it was just the age of my original router. It also will not allow the VOIP traffic through. I can connect the VOIP phone directly to my CenturyLink modem and it works. But when I connect it back to the router it stops.
I contacted Cisco support and they had me upgrade the firmware to 1.0.02 build 13 May 24, 2011 version. Also adjusted down the MTU to 1364. That still did not work so they told me to take the router back to the store. I have not done that yet as I want to ensure that the router is really broken and not that I am missing a setting. The tech said that I should be able to plug the VOIP phone into the router and make NO additional changes.
Anyone have any ideas of what I am doing wrong? Thanks.

Arris Cable Modem not working with WRT54G Router

I am at my wits end.Comcast just changed my old RCA cable modem for an Arris Telephony modem.(I had Comcast phone service added)The tech that did the install said the wireless G network was all up and running. (My 3 other computers and printer) Well lo and behold the network does not work at all. I only get internet through my wired computer and cannot access my router through 192.168.1.1 anymore.I tried powering down the router and modem by holding the reset for 30 seconds and unplugging them. Any help GREATLY appreciated!
Thanx!

ok man, good new and bad news. Good news, i know what ur goin through cause i have the exact same problem. Tried a new router too (wrt54g to no avail). Bad news i have no idea how to fix it. I've tried everything. Linksys tech support hasn't emailed back after their originaly fix which did nothing. Please PM me if you get any ideas. Ps Have you noticed that when the setup page times out you can't get an ip wirelessly. Also, my temporary fix is power cycling. Somtimes it works for a few days, or sometimes a few hours.

Hp Photosmart not working with new router

My Hp Photosmart D110a will not work wirelessly with my new Netgear N600 router. This is the second new router I have tried. With the first one Belkin I could at least get it to print from my PCs. But never with my IPad. Now the printer will not print from anything. I have reset it, entered new passwords etc. spent hours on the phone with tech support. What to do now?

@Ann99, welcome to the forums
I understand your Photosmart D110a model is not working with your new router. I will gladly do my best to help you.
I have some questions and some things for you to try.
1. Is the printer connecting to the wireless network successfully when you run the wireless setup wizard from the printers front panel or is the printer not found when you are running the installation from your PC?
2. What did tech support determine the issue was when you called them?
3. Here are some guides for you to try, these 2 guides relate to the questions I had asked in the first question:
Unable to Connect to a Wireless Network When Using WEP Encryption and Shared Key Authentication
The Printer Is Not Found During a Wireless Network Installation
4. What Operating System are you running on your computer?
5. Where are you running the installation from (disk, download or HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows for Windows)?
Please let me know all of the information and results from your troubleshooting above!
Have a terrific day

Port Forwarding not working between Fios Router and Netgear R6200 AT ALL

For the past two days I've been trying to forward port 80 and port 9000 from my Fios Router to my new NetGear R6200 Router and absolutely nothing is working. I need these ports open and forwarded as I need to forward them to my surveillance system from my R6200. The problem is that port forwarding is not working AT ALL. I've literally tried EVERYTHING. I turned my firewall off completely, enabled DMZ, changed my R6200 to a static IP, turned off uPnP on both sides, and reset my router to factory settings. I'm all out of patience and ideas. This is exactly why I went out and bought the R6200 in the first place, Verizon's Routers are atrocious.
Hardware:
First Router (Gateway): Verizon Fios Aciontec MI424WR
Second Router: NetGear R6200 Dual Band 802.11AC Router
Surveillance System DVR: Zmodo H9114 DVR
OS: Windows 8 Pro 64-Bit
At this point I'm willing to try anything. Fios customer support knew absolutely nothing and wasted my time and if a tech is sent to my house I'm sure the same exact outcome will occur. I recall someone saying that cloning the MAC of a different REV. worked for them but I don't recall the details. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

#1 As addressed in http://www.dslreports.com/faq/12506
The DHCP Server in the secondary router should be off.
#2 You only forward from the main router directly to the computer that you want to host on.

Time capsule not working as wireless router

I am having trouble with my time capsule working as a wireless router. It appears in airport utility and the green light is on. It is backing up my computer which is hardwired with via ethernet. The network setting is on bridge. Any thoughts?

Your first statement and last statement are in conflict.
I am having trouble with my time capsule working as a wireless router.
The network setting is on bridge.
If the TC is set to bridge it cannot work as a router. To be a router the TC must be set to dhcp + nat.
If you already have a router, then the TC should be in bridge. That is correct. If the modem is pure modem then the TC is in the wrong mode to work.
You should have the wireless set to create a wireless network..
Use all short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. Set a different name for 2.4ghz and 5ghz until you sort the problem.. if it is just connection to wireless issue.
Please clarify what is the problem.

Macbook - Scanner not working following new router

Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is the right place, after 2 days I think I need some help.
I've had my Macbook Pro since October and 2 days got a new Netgear Router from Orange to start using 801.11n on the Wifi. I connected through Wifi OK, but couldn't get my HP4580 printer wifi enabled, it was picking up my old router. I gave up after 5 hours, the next day I turned my Macbook up and it picked up the router BUt then I lost Wifi for the internet. Anyway, a day later I have now managed to get my wifi working for internet and my printer, which I was dead please about. However, my scanner has now stopped working - it was working fine yesterday, when I has internet but no wifi to the printer. But today, it keeps saying scanner warming up. I even managed to get the scanned image up in teh window but it won't scanner so the connection looks like it is working (I have to scan with my USB, that's in OK). When I start HP Scan it says there's a problem and it just hands forever.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I may still "remember" the old IP address. Please use the following instructions to fix:

Easy Link 1.6 no longer works and latest version states will not work with my router

I have the WRT54G router (version 8.00.2 firmware) and the Easy Link Software I got with it no longer works correctly (version 1.6), saying I am not connected to the internet even though I clearly am connected. (I theorize that it tries to connect by pinging Linksys and I cannot ping Linksys using any method, so I think Linksys no longer accepts pings.) I downloaded the newest version, thinking it would work, and the forum states it will only work with a few routers that are more recent (I bought mine in Jan 2008.) Am I out of luck, with no verion working correctly? I appreciated the information that was found in the Easy Link Advisor software that I no longer have.

You are a legend!! I have spent countless hours uninstalling, reinstalling itunes, playing with firewall settings, reading articles on this problem!! I only have to un-sync my iphone 5 and then the airplay icon magically appeared!!! Maybe I have too many devices syncing via wi-fi, or maybe it is the Iphone syncing??
Whatever - one step and now I can enjoy my music through my house again!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
