Wireless only working with guest network?

I've just about gotten a new TC working, but strangely it the wireless only seems to work on the guest network. Have checked the password, and its correct, but still no joy.
I didn't think it was that big a deal, but now I'm wondering if its stopping me seeing old backups when going in to TM, as when I do it only shows me the current situation, and no backups. Which kinda makes sense, as I guess the whole idea of logging in as a guest is that you don't have access to files.
Also - when on the guest network, the TC doesn't show up in AU, presumably for the same reason.
Any ideas what's going on here, assuming the password is correct for the non guest network?
Thanks.

How about a "new" wrinkle: I can only acquire TC/Airport on the Guest Network, with both a new Mac Book Pro and recent iMac desktop. Plus, Airport Utility will not recognize any wireless device in the house (such as the TC!) Thus, I cannot access any manual settings. Advice or fixes?
Also experiencing slow or limited buffer rates while watching You Tube, etc... Colleague suggested resetting the unit (unplugging router and power and putting laptop in close proximity to TC), and, for an instant, Airport Utility did recognize TC long enough for me to manually set to another channel to avoid interference.
New TC purchased at Best Buy (had coupons!). Time Machine side works fine. Still frustrated that all is not working as it should...

My Telus wireless only works with WEP, but if I switch to WEP the wireless goes down on the other Windows computer being used in the same house. Is there a way for both of us to get wireless internet or do one of us have to be connected by the ethernet?

My Telus wireless only works with WEP, but if I switch to WEP, the wireless on the other computers in the house (which is Windows and WPA) stops working. My computer works with the ethernet cord but I want to be wireless too! Do one of us have to sacrifice our wireless?

For assistance in getting your MacBook to connect to a WEP-protected wireless network, please check out this Apple Support article: AirPort: Joining an encrypted WEP or WPA Wi-Fi network

1.83 Mac Mini wireless only works with case off

Hey guys,
I had to replace the HD in my mac mini and i tested it with the case off, the wifi was full bars! then i put the case on and the wifi just cuts off, take off the case, it works perfectly, put it back on instantly chops the wifi power down.
ANy ideas? I usually always have it plugged in via eth cable but dont want the wireless broken.
Btw its running 10.6.1

Did the wifi work any better with the case on BEFORE you replaced the HD?
It could be the re-assembled Mini's wifi is just acting "normal" - and that operating it case-less allows the wifi to be more powerful than designed.
IMHO the wifi in the Mini is the weakest in the Apple lineup - an quite susceptible to changes in strength due to orientation of the Mini and objects near it.

Since you have already done some sort of reset on your Airport Express, you might as well make sure it was a "hard reset" - follow the instructions for a hard reset found at:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044
Since your Mac is running Leopard, you need to configure the Airport Express using the Airport Utility found in the Applictions->Utilities folder. You cannot install the old software that was supplied on the CD you got with the Airport Express.
In future - if you do something bad with network settings on your Mac, do NOT try to fix it with the Airport Utility. The Airport Utility is only used to configure the Airport Express - and since the problem you have created is on the Mac and not the Airport Express, there is no need to be using the Airport Utility and especially there is no need to be resetting the Airport Express.

I'm using iTunes 9 and I recently just bought AirPort Express. I have used it before in the past put the problem I have now is that I cannot select the Express network for my speakers. Does Airport Express only work with iTunes 10 or 11?

Hi sparhk, and welcome.
One of the Lenovo staff who frequents the forum put out a call to help you in a private forum. I do a little Linux, so I poked into it. To my amazement my first Google hit was your thread where you indicate you have solved the problem. (At least, it _looks_ like you...)
May I respectfully suggest that a post back here indicating success would be a nice touch? That way anyone who passes by looking for help with this issue will have a better chance of finding it. For posterity, here it is (see post number 25):

Does Mighty Mouse only work with desktop Macs??

I just bought an Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse, assuming it'd work with my new Leopard OS X Macbook. I followed the instructions on the Mighty Mouse booklet...but no installation start-up window ever appeared. I'm a beginner with Apple, so I figure I've done something wrong....does the Mighty Mouse only work with desktop Macs and not MacBooks?
Please help if you can.

Ah! sorry, my mistake! "wireless" was the key word. And yes, prior to my new mighty mouse, I also used the wireless one. And you need to do the following:
1) Turn bluetooth ON (either from finder icon (you can have it placed on your finder bar by tick box in sytem preferences/bluetooth.
2) Then, you need to "pair" your mouse via bluetooth setup assistant.
3) once "paired" off you go.

Does the hp mini wireless mouse work with a mac?

The only one that will work with OSX is the one you order with the Mac Pro from Apple. The others don't have the correct firmware for OSX.
I've also noticed that the online store lets have an option for the QuadroFX 5800 to purchase with a Mac Pro
No, it's the NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600. That is the only way to get it. NVIDIA does not sell it directly.

Hello lila54,
It sounds like your Wi-Fi network is working if your desktop works with it, we just need to get the Wi-Fi on your iPhone and iPad connected to it. I found a couple of resources to help with not being able to connect to Wi-Fi on an iOS device.
I recommend following the steps in this tutorial first (the steps should work on the iPhone and iPad):
Join a network

If you are still having trouble connecting to Wi-Fi, follow the steps in this article (you can skip any steps you have already taken):

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

I have talked to Apple care person of canada and he told me that the factory unlock set sold from apple store canada only work with Canada carriers..I dont think so its possible and when i argue with him he still insist on that...What do u say ???
Here is what Apple says on their Canadian web-site:
<http://store.apple.com/ca/browse/home/shop_iphone/family/iphone?mco=OTY2ODA2OQ# faqs>
"Can I use my iPhone outside my home country?
Yes. iPhone is enabled to work on carrier networks using GSM around the world. Because the iPhone sold by the Apple Online Store is commitment-free, you can purchase a SIM or micro-SIM card and service from a local carrier at your destination. "

Does the unlocked iphone 4 works with other networks besides at

does unlocked iphone 4 works with other network besides at&t like verizon, sprint, and t-mobile ?

An officially unlocked iphone 4 will work with other GSM networks. The ONLY major GSM network in the U.S is T-Mobile ( who are being purchased by AT&T). Currently with T-Mobile you will not get 3G service or visual voicemail with the iphone.

I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store for the full amount, but it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T

Hello,
I have an iPhone 4S 32Gb White AT&T, product part No. MC921LL/A, Serial No. C39GMLPWDTDC
I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store (from Fifth Avenue, NY) for the full amount. Now it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T. I restored the phone several times, but I have not received "Congratulations your iPhone has been unlocked". Please activate my iPhone to work with different SIM cards
Thanks,
Best Wishes

When did you buy it?
Apple did not begin selling an unlocked version of the iPhone 4S in the US until 11/11/11. I believe it went on sale only through the online store at that time. I'm not sure if it's available at retail yet.
What you purchased was a phone without a contract commitment. It is still locked to AT&T. AT&T will NOT unlock iPhones for any reason. Return it and get your money back, then use that to purchase an unlocked phone.

Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac. Tried every settings, My iCloud only works with Mail.app

Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac or any other Mac. My iCloud will only work with Mail.app. All the clients I tried work perfectly well as long as I sign in with somebody else's iCloud account. But mine won't work no matter the client (Postbox, Unibox, Airmail...) and no matter the computer.
I can access my account on iCloud.com, but I can't use email clients without getting error messages prompting me to check my password or login.
I was able to use those clients in the past but a couple of months ago I got logged out of Airmail and the issue started just like that!
I tried every possible mail server settings including the following:
IMAP information for the incoming mail server
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
Port: 993
Username: The name part of your iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker, not [email protected])
Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP information for the outgoing mail server
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: Your full iCloud email address (for example, [email protected], not emilyparker)
Password: Your iCloud password

Those are the correct settings, and they work with any email client that supports Imap.
Try again.
