Wireless Device activation

Probably a stupid question, but when I get to the final step in upgrading my device software, I get a message that says "you must activate the BlackBerry device wirelessly after the BlackBerry Device Software is upgraded."
What does this mean and what is the procedure?
Thanks
Kevin

HT1695 i bought a used ipod touch and reset it to the factory settings via itunes and now i'm trying to set it up like new and it won't let me sign in with an apple id it says it can't connect to the server. Other wireless devices are working HELP?!

I am trying to set up my daughters ipod touch after resetting it to factory settings. So I am trying to sign in using an apple id. It says won't connect to the servier, but I have other wireless devices connected, so I know my wi fi is working. What now? Thanks

Return it and get a refund. Without the prior owner's Apple ID and password that device is useless. Find My iPhone Activation Lock- Removing a device from a previous owner’s account. You were screwed by the ignorance of the pawn shop owner.

Internet connectivity for wireless devices on homefusion

I am having an issue with my homefusion router. I can connect my wireless device (smartphone, kindle, etc.) but I cannot get internet connectivity. Anybody have any suggestions before I have to call support?
Thanks

Hi JLovell,
It's great that you're able to get devices connected to the HomeFusion. This means the device is broadcasting the service to you. By not being able to actually browse the web, this means that the service is being stopped by something else. We will need to verify the account is setup right on our end of the system (activation successful and right plan setup). Once that's done on our end, you can reboot and that's the only step that can be done on your end.
Thanks,

Question re: multiple wireless devices and the Duel Band Airport Extreme

I recently purchased the new duel-band Airport Extreme. Prior to that I had the single band Airport Extreme. I’m a bit confused about how it works and have spent a good bit of time trying to find the answers on the web, but nothing really addresses my specific question so I’m coming to the experts.
I have a number of wireless devices throughout my house… a couple of Roku boxes, two iPads, two iPods running Pandora, a MacBook and an older model Apple TV etc.
Both of the iPods are 802.11 G. The iPads can handle N.
One Roku is 802.11 G and the other can handle N.
I am confused about configuring the Airport Extreme. It’s my understanding that if I just go with the basic setup of creating a network and selecting Automatic for the Radio Mode and Channel that all of my devices will automatically connect to the most appropriate band for the best throughput for that particular device.
I have tried configuring the Airport Extreme as I mentioned above, as well as setting it up with the 5GHz Network Name field selected. I gave this a different name so I would be able to distinguish between the two networks when selecting one on my iPad. I will refer to the fist configuration as Setup A and the second (naming the 5 GHZ Network ) as Setup B.
When I use Setup A all of my devices show one available network to connect to. I select that network and all is well.
When I use Setup B the devices show two available networks, the original and the one I named on the 5GHz Network Name Filed.
My iPod’s ( 802.11 G ) only display the name of the first network, but my iPad’s show both, and I can select either. The signal strength on the 5GHz channel only dislplays two bars on the signal strength indicator icon, but the other network is full bars.
When I use Setup A, is my iPad, Roku and MacBook automatically selecting the 5GHz AND the N connection? How do I know that it’s not using the G band? Is it best to just go with the automatic settings and trust that I’m getting the best connections? How does it know weather to connect to the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. What determines that ?
Sorry for the rambling questions but the more I think about it the more confused I get about all of the possible combinations of connectivity possibilities.
I appreciate any attempts at making this a “teachable moment” for me :- )
Thanks !

Welcome to the discussion area!
The signal strength on the 5GHz channel only dislplays two bars on the signal strength indicator icon, but the other network is full bars.
Not surprising, because the much higher frequency 5 GHz signals are absorbed much more quickly by any obstructions than 2.4 GHz signals. Everything is a trade off. In return for higher speeds, you must give up distance capability and penetration power with 5 GHz. It's not exactly true that you have to have a line-of-sight arrangement between the router and computer with 5 GHz, but many users are finding that to be the case for good, reliable performance.
How does it know weather to connect to the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. What determines that ?
The signal strength. If your computer is capable of connecting at both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, it will choose the band with the higher signal strength...assuming that both bands have the same network name. The only way you can "force" a device to connect to the 5 GHz band is set it up with a different name and point your computer to that specific network.
For most users, the way to go is setup both bands with the same wireless network name and let devices connect to the strongest signal automatically.

How do I setup my MacBook Pro (2009) as a wireless access point for all my wireless device to access the Internet using a USB wireless adapter?

I connect to the Internet with a USB Super Antenna from CCrane.
I want to establish a network on my Mac to allow my other wireless devices to use the USB connection at the USB.
Any ideas?

Yes, that would work, however it would cost me $2000 for the monitors.

On a MS Vista platform I just "upgraded" to Firefox 10.0.2 and now cannot connect. My wireless devices go throught the same DSL line and work. fine. 9.0.1 (previous version) worked fine. Suggestions?

How can I use AirPlay from a wireless device while in 'Join a network' mode with an Ethernet client?

I just got the brand new Airport Express (simultaneous dual-band 802.11n) and I'm trying to set it up to join an existing working wireless network that I have in my house, and to drive my home stereo amplifier and have my desktop hooked up via the wired Ethernet port on the Airport Express. Here's how I set it up:
-Wireless mode is 'Join a wireless network'
-Wireless Network Name: <my home network>
--Allow Ethernet clients is checked
-Internet is configured via DHCP (it gets a valid DHCP lease and IP address on my subnet)
-AirPlay is enabled
-The audio out from the Airport Express is connected to my amplifier via an optical digital cable.
If I leave it set up just as described above, I can select the Airport device from iTunes on my MacBook Pro and play music directly to the speakers. Perfect.
The problem comes when I go to plug in my desktop to the wired Ethernet port on the Airport Express. As soon as I plug in the Ethernet, AirPlay stops working on the laptop. Even if iTunes is in the middle of playing a track, the track will stop when the Ethernet cable is plugged in (with a device on the other end). Doesn't matter which of the two Ethernet ports I use. My desktop is able to use the internet while plugged in to the Airport Express, but iTunes on the laptop is no longer able to connect to the Airport Express to use AirPlay.
I've found that if instead of plugging my desktop into the Airport Express's wired ethernet, I plug in the laptop, then iTunes on the laptop is able to use AirPlay -- but then no other devices on the network are able to use AirPlay.
It appears that as soon as I plug in a wired Ethernet device to the Airport Express it only "listens" to AirPlay connections from devices connected to that wired interface. But this is the opposite of what I want. I want it to listen to AirPlay connections from wireless devices connected to the same network as the Airport Express. Is this possible? Is there some hidden setting I have to enable?
Thanks!

Hi Hreb,
I can find nothing wrong with your configuration, but I was curious if there were something illegal about having an Express "join" a wireless network, and still have AirPlay enabled for wireless clients while simultaneously serving as a bridge to a wired one.
To address that uncertainty I implemented your proposed application with the preceding model AirPort Express, and determined it works as you would expect it to: I connected a wired-only PC to the Express, verified that it can connect to the Internet, and streamed Airtunes from a Mac to speakers connected to the Express. I think this is what you want, and it works with no surprises. I was also able to stream Airtunes from the PC connected to the Express as you did, but as you know only one device can stream to the Express at any one time.
I do not have a new simultaneous dual band Express to test though, so all I can conclude is that there may be a bug with the new one that is preventing you from accomplishing this.
Since it is new, I recommend you call Applecare on Monday and explain what you are trying to do. Explain it works with the older Express and you think this ability should remain unchanged with the new dual band model. It is likely they won't be able to help, and at best will offer to exchange it for another one, but if it is a bug as I suspect any replacement dual-band Express will behave the same way.
The important thing is to inform Apple and obtain a case number so that this problem will eventually get the attention of Engineering who might be able to address this with a future update.
Let me know what you find out. Thanks.

How Do I Connect An Airport Extreme With Password to another Wireless Devic

We have a setup for two different wireless devices so that there are multiple locations that can get online, but the entire setup has no passwords assigned. We would like to assign passwords to both wireless devices so that only the appropriate people are getting online. How does one do this?
The first wireless device that connects directly to the modem from the phone company is a brand new Apple Airport Extreme. The computer that set up the device so that people can get a signal was from a PC that is directly connected to the Airport Extreme via an ethernet cable. Also connected to the Airport Extreme is an ethernet cable that goes (50-100ft) to another wireless device - by Netgear - which then sends out another signal to pick up wireless internet, which is the signal/network that I work from.
If we assign a password to the Airport Extreme, I'm guessing it will complete screw up the connection to the Netgear. How would that be dealt with? And, how could we then, if we wanted, set up a password for the Netgear as well. I've read some initial information on the user guide CD and online, but I don't know the terminology of whether these are networks or just wireless devices 'bridged' together, etc.
My biggest concern, is it works right now, but the owner of the devices wants to put passwords on it and I want to make sure we can keep it working even with passwords. Does anyone know how to easily set up passwords and can I do it from my computer even though they were initially set up by a PC? Or do I have to do it from the PC and if so, how, because I am completely a Mac person and am very unfamiliar with Windows. Thanks.

Question that I need to know now is how do we set up a password on the Apple Airport Extreme now, when it is already set up and working without one?
Open AirPort Utility.
Select your base station, and then choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu. Enter the base station password if necessary.
Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
Choose a password scheme from the Wireless Security pop-up menu.
Enter the password all users will need in order to join this wireless network.
AirPort Utility 5.1 Help: Password-protecting your wireless network
Also, are there different types of passwords and if so, what is the most reliable one so that we don't lose connections, time out or have any other quirks?
There are different types of wireless encryption. WPA2 and WPA are the most secure especially when used with a non-dictionary password. 128 bit WEP is passable in most situations but not very strong. 40/64 bit WEP is extremely weak.
There is really no general "reliability" issue with any of them. Some devices aren't compatible with some of them.
If when we assign a password to the Apple Airport Extreme and for some reason the Netgear stops working, how do we unassign/take away the password on the Airport to get it back to the current setup that we know does work?
Follow the procedure above but disable wireless encryption instead of enabling it.

WRT54GS-Wireless devices either won't connect or disconnect when a game is launched

My old router went out last night, and I had a wrt54gs that was given to me a while back, so I hooked it up, but I am having some issues with it.
For a while it would say that it had no internet access, when it was connected. Then I couldn't get my wireless devices to connect (xbox, and cell phone) All I had done was change the name and the encryption to WEP.
I was able to get them online when I switched to WPA2 for a while. Then I decided to play a game (Tried Diablo 3 and Path of Exile) Every time I loaded up the game, the devices would get kicked off. WHen I disconnected from the game, they would reconnect to the network. Until 1 time they didn't. Now my Xbox wont connect at all, and my phone keeps saying the network is not in range, when placed a foot from the router. I've tried disabling UPnP, but that doesn't do anything. I've turned MAC filtering, on and off. I've powercycled, and just get no good results.
I'm not sure if this is just a bad router, or whats, going on. (FYI my old router was a 10 yr old D-link that I never had problems with)

Internet Connection - Your Apple wireless device does not have a valid IP.

I just bought an Apple TimeCapsule and set it up normally, following instructions to my Arris cable network on the Videotron provider here in Quebec, Canada. The TimeCapsule did appear as a wireless device on my MacBook Pro (after updating the AirPort software from the provided CD - as was instructed). I went through the whole installation process to obtain at the end this error:
Internet Connection - Your Apple wireless device does not have a valid IP.
The only provided instructions were to check the cable and then contact your Internet provider. Well it seems clear to me that if I contact my provider and say that the internet connection works fine directly on my computer, also fine through my "normal" wireless router but not with my new TimeCapsule, I won't get much of a response.
After a lot of research, a friend indicated the solution in my case.
You have to really reset the cable modem to convince it to start giving out IPs again.
To do this:
1. Unplug your TimeCapsule (possibly you might have to reset to factory defaults - see the documentation)
2. Unplug your cable modem
3. Reset your cable modem by pressing the reset button with a pen (or something) for several seconds.
4. Plug your cable modem back in and let it reboot/restart - until the lights are back on.
5. Plug in your TimeCapsule
Everything should now work and you can restart your AirPort set-up on your Mac.
Good luck!

My ISP is AOL. The service is DSL via a broadband modem. Somewhere during the setup process there appears to be a communicatiosn issue between the Airport Extreme Base Station and the DSL modem. When I hook the DSL modem directly to my iMac I can connect to the internet without any issues.
I tried the factory reset and the DSL modem reboot process described in other posts and seemed very close to success...until the internet setup step. That is where this issue first presented itself.

"No device activated..." error

I have been using iSync (2.4) on my PowerBook (10.4.11) with my Nokia E71x for about a year with no problems. I add or up update contacts in my Address Book (4.0.6) then use iSync to update them in my E71x. But now all I get is the "No device activated..." error and nothing happens. I tried removing my phone and re-adding it....still won't work now. Anyone know why?
Also, anyone know what "never" means below where it says "Mokia E71x"??
http://home.earthlink.net/~jeffny001/NokiaE71x.jpg
Any help appreciated...
Jeff

Can you tell me what "No device activated" means in iSync speak?
It basically means iSync cannot detect the phone in order to communicate with it.
You say you've deleted the pairing and started again from scratch...
During the Bluetooth Setup process you should get a screen similar to this:
!http://s3.amazonaws.com/ember/UT2VVoR9kfj9MszEF3XoBzYEkzmGtfOt_o.gif!
Make sure that ALL the checkboxes you get are checked. Including the "Access the internet" one (even if you don't plan to, as iSync communicates via modem commands).
After that, iSync should automatically open, and add the icon for your phone. What does it do for you?

Extreme no longer allows any wireless device (laptops, dvd, tv, printer, game concole, etc..) to connect to wireless network.

My Airport Extreme no longer will allow any wireless devices to connect to the internet. I have tried resetting and unplugging the device and the modem without any success. I only have internet access through a wired desktop connection. The desktop is running on windows 7 and 2 laptops are running on Windows 8. (This had been working for the past 8 or 9 months. The problem started last week.). I had my cable company reset the modem on their side and still no luck. Does anyone know how I can fix this issue. The Extreme has dropped the connection to the printer, dvd players, game consoles, ipads and iphones.

Open AirPort Utility, click on the AirPort Extreme, then click Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon, then click the Internet Connection tab
The setting for Connection Sharing should read Share a public IP address
If you change the setting, click Update at the lower right to save the new setting
Wait a minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart, then power off both the modem and AirPort Extreme
Wait at least 15 minutes
Power up the modem first and let it run for 5 minutes by itself
Power up the AirPort Extreme and let it runa few minutes
Check the network

Airport Utility can no longer find my airport wireless devices

I have sucessfully installed a new Airport Extreme and Airport Express in the house and everything including iPad, Apple TV, Sonos and iPhones are all connect up and running fine.
I am using a Laptop running Windows 8 that is also connected and on line.
I tried to connect a WD external hard drive this morning. Since then when I open the Airport Utility on my Laptop an error message appears stating that "Airport Utility unable to find any Airport wireless devices."
This isn't creating any real problem as I dont have an urgent need to access the Utility programe but does anyone know why this error has occurred and what I can do to rectufy the problem?

Turn of the MG and unplug the power cord. Leave it off for about a minute and then reconnect the power cord and turn the power back on. Wait while the device attempts to reconnect to your wireless network - the blue wifi symbol on the MG will flash and then stay on once it has connected. If it keeps flashing then you will have to reconnect the MG to your wireless access point via the control panel on the MG.

Need help with BES 10 activation error: "Device activation can't be completed because the setup process or a training tutorial is running"

Hi All,
I am having a hard time finding any info on this activation error, and I really can't get to the bottom of it. When I enter my companie's activation code for the BES 10 network, it gives me the following message:
" Device activation can't be completed because the setup process or a training tutorial is running on your device. Try again later."
It would be nice if the msg could be a little more specific! But anyway, I have tried all the traditional fixes, battery pulls, re&re to BES, etc. but still nothing. My last option is to wipe and see if that works but curious to see if anyone has run into this before.
PS I have a Z10 STL100-3
Thanks in advance!
cheers

Itunes and wireless devices no longer show up in upper right corner of itunes window

Help! My Internet service was interupted last week and when it returned my iTunes and wireless devices no longer show up in upper right corner of the iTunes window. I finally figured out how to get both of my wireless devices to show up on the left hand column under devices, but nothing else shows up now in the upper right corner! I cannot for the life of me figure this one out and the tech manual is not helping at all. Help!

If you have the left-hand sidebar showing then that is where the store and your devices will show can be selected - if you press option-command-S if you are using a Mac, control-S on a PC, then the sidebar should be hidden and the store and device should go back to the top right. Is that what you mean ?
