Need model of this black moden as there are many black modems out there. 
Reason for asking, need to verify kind of modem it is and I recommend that you have your ISP check the cabling going to the ISP modem, check signal levels going to the ISP modem. For cable Internet, RG-6 coaxial cable is needed, not RG-59. Check for t.v. line splitters and remove them as they can introduce noise on the line and lower the signal going to the ISP modem. Connecting to the ISP modem could result in a false positive as the signal to the modem could be just enough to that point then adding on a router, could see problems. The router operation is dependent upon getting good data flow from the ISP modem and the modem is dependent upon getting good signal from the ISP Service. Something on the line could be effecting how the router is working.

  • AirPort Extreme extends my network and has worked well for three months. Now it can no longer extend the network and flashes Amber. I have restored to factory settings moved it closer to time capsule and rebooted the system without luck

    i have a blinking Amber on my extreme now and it cannot extend the network.  It was working fine and nothing has changed. I have restored to factory settings moved it to another room and rebooted the system without luck. Any suggestions

    What OS are you running?
    Please give me a screenshot of the current AE setup..
    I strongly recommend if you have issues.. take control of all the variables. Apple routers have too much auto..
    Here is a list that I use for setups when using Yosemite.. but it relates to any OS.
    You will need to factory reset again to get going.
    Factory reset universal
    Power off the AE.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the AE to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
    Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite or whatever you are using.
    1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
    eg AEgen5 for basestation.
    Use AE24ghz and AE5ghz for wireless on each band, with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense.
    2. Use all passwords that also comply but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
    3. Ensure the AE always takes the same IP address.. this is not a problem for router but if the AE is bridged you can have trouble.. Try using the static IP method or control it via the main router dhcp reservations.
    4. Check your share name on the computer/s is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric..
    5. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only.
    6. Set up the extend to the Express using 2.4ghz and then see how good or bad the connection is.. this is better in the old v5 utility but if you hover your mouse over where it shows connection an extra chunk of info comes up.
    I have specifically used 5ghz to make the extend.. because by testing it works better.. but do not be fooled.. this good connection is poor.. the RSSI.. which is difference signal .. at -79dbm is down the bottom of the stable.. and it drops out on a daily basis.. you want to see that signal around -60dbm at min.
    There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.

  • FIX: IPad turns on and off in a loop during charging, boots to home screen and reboots

    Ok, after having my ipad 2 3rd Generation for about a year, its bombed out on me,playing on it until battery drained. Didn’t think anything of it, plugged into charge thinking it would be charged by the morning. This didn’t happen.
    It was stuck on the apple sign, booted to home screen and switched off again due to low battery. Continued on this loop for the whole day……
    I searched the internet and it seemed all doom and gloom that I would need to by another one. Then I stumbled upon a forum where the advice so far has worked for me.
    The reason why it gets stuck in a loop is because the IPad was not shut down manually, so therefore keeps trying to boot up soon as it has some battery power. Problem is, its gone beyond a point and now and there isn’t enough battery life to boot to main or home screen after apple logo.
    The remedy is quiet simple, follow these steps to get the ipad to home screen to power it down so it has sufficient time to charge up and boot normally and get off the endless loop.
    Plug into wall socket to get it charging.
    Wait until the apple logo appears and wants to boot up.
    QUICKLY hold down home button and reset/ sleep button at the same time until it reboots.
    Release buttons now. should now power down and reboot
    Repeat step 3 at least 30 to 40 times which is about 10 minutes in duration everytime you see the logo appear on the screen.
    Now Let IPad boot up fully, should see home screen with about 2% battery life
    QUICKLY hit the rest/ sleep button down for about 2 to 5 seconds.
    Swipe the screen to when slider appears to switch off the ipad.
    This will now power down the IPad which now will not reboot by itself so it can now charge without any interruption’s.
    Allow battery to charge for a least an hour or two without trying to put it on.
    Switch the IPad on
    You should now have about 10 to 20% battery Life
    Power it down again by holding the reset/ Sleep button down again and swipe the screen to power down, let it charge fully to 100% now which will take few hours
    Enjoy your IPad again
    Lesson learnt. When your battery power is low, dont wait for it drain completely, rather power the pad down manually and let it charge when there is only about 2 to 4% battery life left.
    Hope this guide helps people with the same problem as I had. Took me about 2 days of research and searching until I found a solution that worked. Hopefully this will assist anyone going through the same pain, and possibly not have to buy another one which seems to be the case when people take the pad to an istore with the same issue.
    Cheers,

    I tried to restore using recovery mode it give error 4013, also tried the same with iMac with my friend again error.
    Let me give little more details:
    1. After iOS 8.2 upgrade, 2-3 days often 3-4 times a day it used to restart again and again then will get Home screen.
    2. Also at times it happened, it boots again and again left the device as it is then it comes to Home screen.
    3. Lastly it did the same behavior but it did not boot up, but keep booting again and again apple logo is shown then restart
    4. Tried to get into recovery mode, windows PC error 4013, now in the recovery mode.
    My Battery was in good condition, when it happened it was ~80% now may be very less did not charge until now.
    I read somewhere in the forum keep re-starting manually again and again, someone said since it did not shutdown properly there is a problem, please help.
    The device is 1.2 yrs old ONLY.
    Best regards
    Prabu

  • Ipad 4 Retina display keeps freezing and reboots

    the past week my Ipad 4 has been having problems with freezing and rebooting. I deleted a game app which I thought was the problem and now when I use my email app it will start to freeze then reboot. Of course my warranty has just run out when this happened. I have tried the stadard things up to resetting but not a complete restore yet. Sometimes when rebooting it will hang and I get pixilation etc. This is very frustrating any ideas? IOS 7.04. 32GB.

    Did the standard things include Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings? You could have a corrupt setting that is causing problems. You won't lose any data, but it takes some time to enter all of the device settings again and you will have to do that if you reset all settings.
    If that doesn't work, then you probably should backup, restore to factory settings and them restore from the backup. If that fails, then the next step is to restore as new and not from the backup, them rebuild the iPad by adding your apps and content methodically looking for any signs of further problems.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

  • My wifi goes down at least once a day and I have to unplug the time capsule and reboot it and then it works fine.  Any idea why this is happening/what I can do to fix it?

    My wifi goes down at least once a day and I have to unplug the time capsule and reboot it and then it works fine.  Any idea why this is happening/what I can do to fix it?

    I was having this problem while still using Mavericks -- it started after a Mavericks update last spring.  During the initial Yosemite beta runs over the summer, it seemed to be fixed, but after the official launch in October, I had all sorts of problems keeping connected.  Its gotten a little better, but still happens to at least one of my devices every day.  Weird that we still cannot figure out why the connection keeps dropping on some devices, but not others, and then the next day, one of the devices that didn't disconnect the previous day will disconnect, but the ones that did disconnect, stay connected.  It's just sloppy, poorly written software for technology that isn't working the way it should.  If you turn off Continuity and Handoff on all your devices, you will probably see that everything stays connected.  With those turned off on all devices, TC stayed connected to everything for over a month.  The day I turned Continuity back on, all the problems started again.  It had something to do with the bluetooth version being used, the wifi routine, and Apple's AirPlay technology not quite getting along with each other.

  • My iMac crashes and reboots 9/10 times when Iog off an account. I looked at the Console for a log but I am not sure what I am looking for. What is the best way to try to find what is causing this?

    Hello,
    I have an issue where my iMac crashes and reboots 9/10 times when I log my wife's account off. I'd like to get it resolved as it is very annoying. We switch between accounts all the time and everytime it crashes I lose a bunch of info from my account. Can anyone help me understand how to fix this issue?
    After the reboot a window tells me that my system has recovered from a seriour issue (sounds much like Window$ to me...) and a crash report is show:

  • My iPod Touch is freezing and rebooting itself.

    Hi.
    Here's the story:
    My iPod was recently working yesterday. I left it on the wall charger for a while, and later I come back to find my iPod frozen, out of nowhere. For another while, it freezes and starts to reboot itself. I done all I can. I watched videos on how to unfreeze it and etc, and I tried restoring it, and doing about everything I can to recover this iPod, it doesn't work. So I turned it off, and let it settle overnight. This morning, I turn it on, and it restored, everything was working fine, until when I go to my Messages app, it freezes once again, and now it is doing the same thing, but this time it repeats to the home screen, freezes, and reboots again. I tried calling for support and they said my warranty is expired.
    I own an iPod Touch 4G, 8GB, for about 6 months.
    To be specific: It always goes to the Apple logo and then the loading circle then shuts off, then does it again. Before this problem about a day before this happened, I accidentally put a little water on it and wiped it off while I was working on chores. (Sorry, I often have it next to me a lot.) Plus, I did have a lot of data on it but it didn't seem much of a problem. 
    Please, if anyone can help, tell me what is the reason behind this problem, and at least if you can try to solve this for me. I will try going to a local Apple store later on if this problem keeps going. But for right now, I need this help. Thank you all.
    Bye.

    - Have yu tried letting the battery fully draining and then charging and trying to retore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod?
    - Try placing it is recovery mode and then DFU mode and then restoring if necessary.
    - For recovery mode:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - For DFU mode

  • My wifi wasn't working for more than 10 minutes at a time after updating to IOS8 and resetting network settings. I turned off google drive, turned off Bluetooth, reset network settings and rebooted my iPad4. So far so good.

    I have an ipad4.  Wifi keeps cutting out after the upgrade even after I forget the network and resign on or reset all network settings. I deleted iCloud drive from my iPad, turned off Bluetooth, reset network settings, and rebooted my iPad. Since I upgraded to IOS8 this is the longest wifi has consistently been working for me. Which is approximately an hour now. Anyone else find that this worked or have figured out if this or anything out there is a permanent fix?

    Hi CollinGCC78,
    It sounds like you have been on the right track in troubleshooting this issue. If you are still having issues, you may want to double-check the steps outlined in the following article, in order if possible (apologies for replicating any steps you have already taken):

  • My Macbook is not working properly, I went to a Genius Bar appointment, they were not helpful at all and just told me to go off and reboot my Mac and then restore via TimeMachine. I dont know how to do this. I am extremely displeased with Apple, help me?

    My late 2011 Macbook Pro is not working properly it is very slow and extremely painful to use, I went to a Genius Bar appointment, they were not helpful at all and just told me to go off and reboot my Mac and then restore via TimeMachine. I dont know how to do this. I am extremely displeased with Apple at the moment, can someone please help me?

    Your problem description is generalized and non-specific. I would make another appointment at the Apple store and insist they help you execute their suggested fixes.
    Incidentally, if you search this site, Apple has excellent articles re: restoring a system.

  • LR Mobile sync caused iPad mini to crash continuously and reboot with blue screen?

    Hi,
    I've been using LR Mobile on my iPad Mini (Retina) for quite sometime now without any issues. It worked flawlessly, until yesterday.
    I'm not sure whether this problem was caused by the LR Mobile app or not but this was my experience.
    Begin syncing a LR Catalog file (760 photos, needed 1.6 GB of space on my iPad). Sync and download was in progress. (I enabled the offline edit option).
    After like 10 minutes, I checked my iPad to see the sync status and it crashed and restarted by itself.
    After it booted, I opened LR Mobile and bang.... it crashed again.
    This happened several times and I also begin to get the blue screen of death on the iPad.
    Finally, it booted properly and I opened LRM and begin to re-sync. Things went smoothly.
    I had to cancel the sync (around 650 photos were synced) as I had to rush to work and the sync process was taking too long (it took me like 3 hours to sync the 650 photos as the iPad would go into sleep and the sync process would stop. Plus the iPad was crashing and rebooting in between the sync process and caused a loss of time).
    Anyhow, on the way to work I opened LRM and begin working on the images. Everything seemed fine.
    Just an hour ago, when I unlocked my iPad and wanted to work on the images, it crashed again. This time it went in a reboot cycle and the screen went bonkers - got the blue screen, and weird visual distortions of the apple logo, and other unusual visual effects begin to occur. I thought the iPad was gone for, as it went off and wouldn't even restart. (I even tried doing a hard reset - Home + Sleep/Wake buttons).
    Finally when it booted and restarted on its own, I immediately deleted the LR Mobile app and restarted the iPad.
    It's been like 2 hours now and the iPad's working fine.
    Did anyone experience similar issues like this? Or is it just me
    I feel very annoyed because after waiting for hours for my catalog to sync, I had to delete the app and lost all my synced photos
    Can the Adobe LRM team please clarify if this could have been cause by the LRM app?
    I've been using LRM for a long time and never encountered such a problem. Could it be because the app required around 1.6 GB of space on the iPad and they sync/download process was taking like forever to get done. ( I had plenty of free space on my iPad. Had like 5.6 GB free on it).
    Any help and advise would be truly appreciated

    Hi,
    Lightroom mobile should not be causing any iPad crashers, the issue with the crashing LrM is a known issue.
    What would help would be if you can collect logs from your tablet and send them privately to me.
    Only then we can know for sure if it's really caused by LrMobile.
    We would need all your logs that you can find under these folders that are close to the date and time when your device restarted.
    OSX: /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/DeviceName/
    Windows: C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Apple computer\Logs\CrashReporter\MobileDevice\DeviceName\
    Btw you need to sync with iTunes to see them.
    thanks,
    Ignacio

  • I am using Mountain Lion on a Macbook Pro and for some stupid reason it decides to shutdown and reboot randomly. I have tried reinstalling it, thought it might be some software, so I uninstalled the software. There is no application or particulaerr task c

    Hi All.
    Mountain Lion for some stupid reason keeps shutting down and rebooting on me. It is random and not associated with any particular task or program/software. I tried reinstalling Mountain Lion but the f'n thing still keeps doing it. I am trying to write a thesis and I have lost work because of this. If I can't get this sorted I am going to go back to using Lion.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    In more specific terms. The apps that came on the iPod like the weather and maps and whatnot have been working flawlessly. It's just when I download an app and then disconnect from wifi it's almost like I'm on a timer until the app stops working. It acts like it wants to open, the screen flashes black then resets to the home pages. I've tried all of the basic fixes, rebooting, reseting, uninstalling then reinstalling. But like in my...long...question, the reinstalling option only seems to be a temporary fix. I just recently downloaded the 5.1.1 udate (I think that's what it was) does that have anything to do with it, or am I just derpy when it comes to iPods?

    Try the other suggestions here:

    Then try a restore.

  • IPad mini now terrible to use, apple support no help because warranty is up.  All cause by new ios8 update, wifi issues, many apps no longer work, apps that do work now crash regularly and sometimes take several instances and reboots to even open.

  • My iPad2 no longer connects to my home wifi network but there is no problem connecting to other saved wifi networks. Currently using iOS8.0.2. with storage capacity of 12.2Gb but only 147Mb free. Disconnecting the router and rebooting the iPad worked

    My iPad2 no longer connects to my home wifi network but there is no problem connecting to other saved wifi networks. Currently using iOS8.0.2. with storage capacity of 12.2Gb but only 147Mb free. Disconnecting the router and rebooting the iPad worked briefly as a temporary fix but not anymore

    You could try this
    Temporarily disable security on your home network
    See if the iPad connects
    If it does then reset the security - with the same or different password

  • IPod causing my laptop to crash and reboot when connecting to USB !!

    Hello all,
    Here is what I am working with, 30 GB , 5th gen Video iPod with Itunes 7.6.2.9
    Problem:
    I have had my Sony Vaio laptop with Vista for a couple of months and it had been humming along just fine with my 30GB Video iPod. After loading some new pics via Itunes recently I noticed that the capacity used information in the About section of the iPod was incorrect, my iPod was showing 1gig left, and I only have 500 songs, 600 photos, 3 videos and some podcasts loaded. Itunes showed I had plenty of space left so that contradicted what the Ipod reflected. So after some googling I found that the recommended solution was to restore your iPod and reload all your music back via Itunes. Little did I know that trying to solve that little problem would create a far greater one.
    First using an external hard drive (Western Digital) I backed up all of my music from Itunes. I then started the restore process via Itunes, during the restore my computer hung and froze. Then my computer crashed and rebooted. When it came back up I plugged the iPod back into the USB to complete the restore, this time however my laptop did not recognize my iPod (note, it is empty, with no music since I did the restore). Instead my system assigned it a drive letter G: in the my computer section. A message box pops up asking if I want to scan and check or skip this new drive, it also says scan is recommended. I selected the scan and it checked the Ipod with no problems. If I elect not to scan the iPod then the computer will crash within 30 seconds. After it scans it appear s as if it is going to synch up, iPod says ‘do not disconnect’, then bam, computer crashes and reboots with the black screen. I tried various troubleshooting steps and each time when plugging the iPod in Itunes it starts up and it takes maybe 1 minute trying to recognize it when the computer crashes and reboots automatically going to the black screen and doing a file dump. It seems that no matter what I do Itunes does not recognize the iPod, the system sees it as a mass storage device, hence I am unable to complete the restore.
    To troubleshoot I have done the following without any luck:
    - Removed Itunes (3x, using different versions) and reinstalled it, tried again
    to restore nothing, still crashing
    - Removed and reinstalled Quicktime as stand alone, still same thing. Note: for some reason on Vista you have to have Quicktime installed separate as stand alone and not select the automatic bundle version that comes with Itunes otherwise you will get a separate error that won’t allow you to open Itunes and it will say it’s corrupt. I spent hours on just this problem.
    - Downgraded my Itunes to an older version. Same problem.
    - Upgraded ITunes to the latest and greatest, 7.6.2.9, nada.
    - Reformatted my ipod at the command line, so as to bypass my computer from doing it, plugged it back in, this time it went a little longer before it crashed when Itunes came up.
    - Downloaded and installed all the latest Vista patches and fixes.
    - Downloaded and installed the latest Sony patches and fixes.
    - Re-assigned the drive letter on my Ipod, changed it to “Ipod”, “P”, and lastly “Q”, still shows up on my system as that drive letter, then Ipod. Another time it showed up just as drive letter, and “mass storage device”. Still Itunes is not recognizing it.
    - Plugged the iPod into different USB ports, 3 different ones, still same.
    - Checked each USB port, a sound does come on for each port when either plugging in the Ipod or another device, all ports recognize when a device is plugged in.
    - Made sure no other devices are plugged into the USB ports.
    - Disabled every single USB port via Device Manager, then plugged in Ipod, at that point it didn’t even recognize it.
    - Disabled every single USB port, except for 1, then plugged in Ipod, recognized in computer but not Itunes, then Itunes tries to recognize it, during that time my computer crashes and reboots
    - Disabled and reenabled every single USB port, then tried. Ipod is recognized in device manager but not Itunes. Ipod shows message “do not disconnect” for awhile, seems like its working… then bam, my laptop crashes. By the way, Itunes does come up and all my music is there.
    I also did this:
    Reset the iPod using these steps:
    - Disconnect iPod.
    - Make sure the 'hold' switch is not on.
    - Press and hold the 'menu' and 'select' (circle) buttons simultaneously.
    - Keep holding them both down for at least five seconds.
    - The iPod displays the apple logo and properly resets.
    In summary, I have spent over 30 hours working on this problem. Bottom line is Vista is assigning a lettered drive to the iPod thinking it is a mass storage device, hence it is not being recognized in Itunes enabling it to complete the restore. To complicate matters before you can do much troubleshooting the *laptop crashes and reboots within 3 minutes of plugging the iPod into any of the USB ports.* !!!
    This is just utterly insane, don't know what else to do. For starters stopping my laptop from crashing everytime it is plugged in would be nice !
    Losing it in L.A.

    +I tried various troubleshooting steps and each time when plugging the iPod in Itunes it starts up and it takes maybe 1 minute trying to recognize it when the computer crashes and reboots automatically going to the black screen and doing a file dump.+
    I'm curious about this point. Is there any flash of a blue screen at any point here? (That's a more familiar sort of thing to be seeing prior to the system doing a restart after a serious error.)
