Wifi Link OK, but only one SSID at a time

I am running my MBP (2.33, 10.5.1) on wifi, but I have a couple of different problems from what is reported here.
The pull down for choosing which SSID will only have one choice. Very rarely, I can turn off the Airport, then turn it on and see several sites that disappear. If I go to another site, I will get one new signal to choose from again, but not necessarily the strongest one...it seems random.
I can see others and connect to them with iStumbler.
The connection itself sometimes seems perfect and sometimes seems to get 'bursty'– it will operate at a good rate, then go to zero, then burst up again, then go low...this will happen at several different sites and act that way whether it is a dial up site with my airport express or if it is a public site.
This all seemed to start with the latest update to 10.5.1

  • Two cameras, but only one works at a time, need help

    I've gone over the messages here but not found any answers to my type of problem.  I have two WVC54GCAs both have static IPs on my lan and I can view them both fine from there. 
    I forwarded the port for one to 47624 and the other to 47625 in my router at home and in the camera configuration I specified to use these alternate ports instead of the default 80 port.  When I get in to work and try to view them over the internet by their ip address and port# (e.g. http://22.22.22.222:47624) I get a timeout error, but I can see one if I go to port 22.22.22.222:80 (even though the port I specified in the camera setup was an alternate port).  I used dyndns open port testing tool (http://www.dyndns.com/support/tools/openport.html) which shows 47624 and 47625 are both open ok. 
    I can log into my router on 22.22.22.222:8080 from work and the router logs show that the dyndns tool connected to the router via these ports upon testing.  I was using a Netgear router and thought that might be the problem, so went out and got a Linksys wRT54G2 router to see if that worked better, but have the same issue as with the Netgear.  Here's the weird part, if I go into the router from work and change one of the cameras to forward to port 80 instead of the alternate port I'd set for it, I can view that camera on port 80 despite the camera config still set to use an alternate port.  So then when I take the first camera off port 80 in my router and change the second one to port 80, I can view the second one as well that way.  I have Comcast as my ISP and a Motorola SB5100 cable modem and can't figure out why I am unable to bring them up over the internet using the alternate port settings I specified.  I've spent a lot of time on this, I'd really appreciate any help or other suggestions on what to do.

  • Can use the internet but only one computer at a time...

    I have a very old PC with no ethernet ports and i have one macbook pro. I just bought an airport base station and have connected it to my modem via an ethernet cable, and the modem is then connected to my PC via USB.
    This set up allows me to connect wirelessly with my macbook pro, but if i want to connect to the net via my PC it won't let me...unless i turn off the base station and then reboot the modem. but now i can't connect wirelessly.
    Apple guys say, because I'm not connected directly to the PC from the base station (due to no ethernet ports) I'll never get round this problem. Before I give up, is there any thoughts on how i can resolve this catch 22?
    Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

    When I encountered the same problem a while back, I discovered that I had mistakenly connected the ethernet cable from my modem into one of the <-----> (ethernet) port on the back of my Airport instead of the O (WAN) port.
    It belongs in the O port.
    I hope your problem is this simple to solve.

  • HT1349 How do I set up a separate icloud account? Both my wife and I have an iPhone 4s and an iPad, but only one Mac. We are tired of our "stuff" getting mixed up together when we sync.

    How do I set up a separate icloud account? Both my wife and I have an iPhone 4s and an iPad (1 and 3), but only one Mac. We are tired of our "stuff" getting mixed up together when we sync. Thanks much

    You don't need separate iCloud accounts if you want to simply sync unique content to each device using iTunes. I have three iDevices using one ID and one iTunes library and each device has it's own content on it. You need to set up the sync configuration for each device. This is what I recommend.
    First turn off auto sync in iTunes. Launch iTunes on the Mac and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from automatically syncing. Click OK and then quit iTunes.
    Connect one of your devices to the Mac and launch iTunes.
    Click on the device name on the left side under the devices heading.
    Click on a tab in iTunes - Apps for instance.
    Click on the Apps that you want to sync to that device.
    Make sure that the Sync Apps heading is checked.
    Follow the same procedure for all of the other tabs in iTunes ..... Music, Photos, Movies and so on.
    After you have finished making all of your selections, click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
    When you are done, eject the first device and do the same thing with the other device. iTunes will now remember the sync configuration on each device.
    You can change that configuration any time that you like by following the steps outlined above.
    If you want to continue to auto sync, turn it back on in the iTunes preferences as described above.

  • HT1725 Purchased 3 tracks from album, but only one track has downloaded properly

    Purchased 3 tracks from album, but only one track has completely downloaded, but system says that all 3 downloaded, how can I complete tracks?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

    I have my ipod backed up on multiple computers but only one computershows all my playlists.  How can I get all my play lists to show up on multiple computers?

    If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply.
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing content manually on iPod
    If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting to a different computer if your current one is out of commission. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it.

  • I am trying to transfer my movies (mp4 files) to my IPad, but they are not showing up on the IPad. I have 13 movies showing on my IPad that they are in ICloud. I've sync'd the movies I want to the IPad, but only one is showing under the "movies" folder. ?

    I have been trying to transfer some different movies from my PC to my IPad, but they are not showing in the "movie" folder. I have sync'd the movies (these are mp4 files) that I wanted transfered, but only one is showing in the folder. There are 13 other movies in the folder that have the ICloud symbol in the corner of their picture. I understand that I can pull those movies from ICloud any time I want to watch them, but I want to watch the ones that I've just sync'd with my IPad. How do I find them? After I checked the movies I wanted, I "applied" them and watched it sync and copy the wanted movies to my IPad. Now what?  Thanks.

    There are some good programs that you could use to convert the format, Handbrake or Mpegstreamclip are two good free ones. Convert them to MP4 and then try importing them again.

  • How can you use iMessage between 3 iPads with 3 different users but only one Apple ID?

    how can you use iMessage between 3 iPads with 3 different users but only one Apple ID?

    No you do not need separate Apple ID's in order to use 3 devices with one Apple ID. I use 4 devices to Message and FaceTime and all use the same Apple ID. You do need to add additional email addresses for the other devices.
    Look at this very informative video for the instructions.

    I need to edit out parts of a song to cut it down to two minutes for my daughter's talent show. I went to info/start time and it will cut down one part but only one part. I need to put three parts together. I tried adding duplicates of the song to the list but if If I change the start time on one it will change it on all of them.

    In your library, right-click the song you want to edit.
    select "get info".
    go to "options" and select the start and stop times for your first section of the song.
    click "OK".
    Find the shortened version of the song in your library. It may take a minute for it to show up. right click it again and select "create (????) version". (the ???? is different for different formats).
    The library will spit out a new, second version of the song which you can rename. I suggest you use the original title and add a 1 to the end.
    Now you can go back to the other version and repeat the process with a different  start/stop time.
    Once you are done editing, you can burn all of your versions to a disk, just make sure your interval time is zero so there are no gaps between edits.
    To keep the orginal song on your library, just go back to the original and put the start/stop times back to the original settings.

    Hi, i have purchased iPhone 5 about 15 days ago, its working well but only one problem that it has is that some time its losting signal and appear as no serves. would you please help me in this reqard. thanks

    Well, it could be that your carrier doesn't have a signal when it looses its signal.  You could try resetting network settings which might help - Settings/General/Reset/Reset Network Settings.  You'll need to set up any wi-fi networks you connect too again. If you're still having issues, contact your carrier.
    Good luck!

    Hi...I have 4 folders in my MobileMe Gallery.....but only one is shown in Aperture under WEB. Anybody who can help? best, Per

    Hello Per,
    did you create the other Mobile Me galleries in iPhoto? If I remember correctly. you can manage each web album only in one application, either Aperture or iPhoto. I cannot test it any longer, since I upgraded to iCloud, but it used to be possible to assign the application (iPhoto or Aperture) for each album when you log into Mobile Me and select the album.

  • Drag and Drop with mulitiple drag sources but only one correct answer?

    I've created two drag sources (in a Type group) for one drop target. I want to be able to drag only one or the other onto the drop target. I changed the correct answers from 2 to 1, but I can still drag both onto the drop target. Is there a way to reject the second drag source?
    Is there a way to select the same drag sources and have the same situation for a different drop target?
    Plus, if I have the drop target set to not visible, is there a way to change it to visible once a drag source is dropped on it?
    Sorry for the newbie questions. Thanks for any help.

    No, I made the target invisible, not the drag object.
    I have sample text (a paragraph missing periods). I created an image file of the period (essentially, a dot within a square with the same color background as my slide). The reason I created the image (and not just a round filled shape) is because if I can get this to work, I'd like to use other punctuation mark images. I imported the period image and made 3 copies of it (4 separately named images). Two of the images (the drop targets) I placed where they belong in the sample paragraph and made them invisible. The other two images are visible and would be the drag sources. I want students to be able to choose either copy of the drag source and place them on either of the drop targets (no specific order, but only one being able to be dropped onto one target). With the correct answer, I'd like to make the target visible. In the drag settings, I unchecked "send back to original location" and then set it to absolute. This is so the student would be able to place the period in other areas of the sample paragraph (but not be able to "find" the active areas that would automatically pull them into place over the target. Sorry, I don't have access to the program at this minute, so I can't remember what the other setting was instead of absolute that "pulled" the drag source onto the target.) Anyway, if set to absolute, the dropped items do not line up properly (because they land where they were dropped, obviously). So, I'm looking for a way to then make the target (that was invisible) visible when one correct period is dropped onto it, plus then reject any other periods being dropped onto it.
    I'm open to suggestions if there is a better way to do this.
