• Passport for blackBerry "political COMPUTER requires device password to have the value" since I added a school e-mail account

  I added a school e-mail account to my passport, which reqirered the phone to be password protected. I hate to enter a password every time I do on my phone. I deleted the e-mail account of the phone in the hope to do away with the login password, but it did not work. The phone does not allow me to disable the device password and wrote "political COMPUTER requires device to put password" below the option to turn on/off the device password. Any help or a way around it would be greatly appreciated.

  Very well. Good luck.

• My Airport utility showing other peoples time Capsules

  When I rebooted my Mac the other day, open AirPort Utility and devices that aren't mine, I saw appear in the preview.  In the screen below, the only one that should be there is one on the right "of AirPo... ase station", the other 3 are NOT mine.  One time capsules shows actually need an update, so it seems to me, of course, that these are physical devices and not a virus/hack on my network.  I live in a fairly secluded, so he of course doesn't seem like I'm picking up these some near my house, so the only other 2 options I can think are something that crosses my ISP, otherwise a kind of Virus/Hack which "looks like" a Time Capsule or AirPort Extreme.  I'm sure that this is the first, but I wanted to see if anyone has seen this particular situation/behaviour?

  

  I have never seen it before.

  What happens when you select one of the other devices?  They open with a popup and can you go into Edit?

• Get airport utility to forget the other devices on the network view

  Hello

  Is it possible to get the Airport utility to forget other devices, it's on the graphic display? I live on a college campus so it displays about 15 other aircraft from the airport in the vicinity of my home and I would like to see it just mine! When I was updating the name and password on my base station, Airport utility gave me the option when I clicked on the other devices to 'Forget' them, but as soon as I close, then reopen the Airport utility all return and the only option I have to then when I click on another device must enter the password for it (which of course) ", I do not have).

  Outside him cluttering up the graphic display, I wonder whether, if all these devices are recognized as part of 'My network', is sometimes interfere with my access internet and wi - fi as the speed and the same connection seem to go up and down like a yo-yo (sometimes up to 90 Mbps but also weaker than 0.05 Mbps - less than the old dial-up!). I have been informed by our IT Department University detects a problem with your local network, it can "bleached you' which cuts or slows down your connection into a net - and if all these devices are considered by Airport utility as part of my network so I'm guessing that a problem in one of the base stations that could affect the rest.

  So, is it possible to get just the Airport utility will display only my own base station (Airport Extreme) over a wi - fi (Airport Express) extension?

  Excellent question...

  First airport utility keeps a history of all the airports that he never sees and even if you select forget he never forgets... you need to dip down and remove the plist... as with all things Mac.

  / Users/youusername/Library/Application Support/Apple/AirPort/SavedTopos/Topo-nIfc=en0,nHsh=00000000.plist

  There are a lot of them dated for every time the network topography change. Close airport utility and delete the entire lot... a new will be created when you restart.

  What OS you are using... There is an option... but I'm not sure it works... to show only devices you set up.

  So, open airport utility preferences. Click monitor airport basestations for problems... then don't watch that airport base stations which I configured... Tell me what happened to him.

  

  Outside him cluttering up the graphic display, I wonder if, if all these devices are recognized as part of 'my network ',.

  No, it's just the airport utility is a bit too excitable to find other airports of apple around the place and wants to watch all the...

  They are not part of your network... but in small areas Wireless will cause problems... it, without doubt. Most of the colleges banning people who run their own wireless routers because the result is what you feel... CHAOS.

  There are 3 channels for 2.4 ghz and perhaps 6 or 7 for 5 GHz Wireless AC must so much bandwidth, you have more than 3 or 4 channel without overlap... This means that for every 3 airports you have exhausted all channels... (and all airports after it's battery on the mill).

  15 other aircraft from the airport in the vicinity of my home

  So that means at least 5 airports are run on the same channel you are on average. Wireless was never designed to ensure that the density of life. It's only the airports... think how no apple routers wireless there's around you that are not displayed.

  Open any program wireless diagnostic... There is a built-in to your Mac. see how many names wireless mac can pick up.

  I highly recommend that you stick to the use of the 5 GHz band using a different name... and choose depending on the channel works best for you. No Auto and just stick...

  You'll never find that it works without problems... but there is no doubt that life is easier if people started to build a faraday cage to live in or used ethernet.

• Time capsule works bur airport utility cannot find it

  Hello world

  I have a weird problem with my Time Capsule (2 TB) 2015

  I have the TC connected by ethernet to a modem, and it is plugged into my mac mini (cable as well)

  The TC works very well, it is accessible from the Finder, Time Machine works fine and all my devices can browse the internet via the TC wifi network.

  Airport utility, that the TC is shown as connected with a green dot, however when I try to access the settings of TC, that the system requires a password and when I entered it nothing happens. If I click on the TC once again, I get a requirement pw again. Once I do this once or twice, the TC greys out on airport utility and I get the message "device not found" with the yellow triangle.

  Despite this, the TC is always accessible from the Finder, the wifi works and Time machine is ok.

  Tries to access the site of the iPad or the iPhone displays the same behavior, the utility will continue to ask for a password and it won't let me.

  I did a reset of the TC by pressing the reset button and it worked fine for 24 hours, after which the above problem happened again.

  So I did another reset and even once, he worked for a while, but now I'm at square one.

  Is that what is anyone able to help?

  Thank you

  AirPort Utility is based on both the mDNS (aka, Hello) and IPv6 IP protocols to find an AirPort base station.

  When access to the airport through the AirPort Utility, try the following, in order, accessibility with the utility check after each step:

  • Check the local connection. If you try to access the airport wireless, make sure that you are connected to its wireless network before running the AirPort Utility to administer it. If you are still unable to access it with the utility, temporarily connect your computer directly using an Ethernet cable to one of the base station's LAN ports.
  • Make sure that the base station and your computer are configured for IPv6 link-local only.
    • For a Mac: System preferences > network > Wi - Fi or Ethernet > advanced > TCP/IP tab > configure IPv6: link-local only
    • For the AirPort Base Station:
      • From a Mac: AirPort Utility > select the base station > change > Internet tab > Internet Options... > configure IPv6: link-local only
      • Since an iOS device: AirPort Utility > tap the base station > press Edit > tap Advanced > tap on IPv6 > change configure IPv6 to: link-local only > Tap actually
  • The base station power cycle. Remove the power branch of the socket adapter and then wait 15 seconds before plugging back in.
  • Perform a ' default ' reset on the base station.

• Airport utility cannot find Airport extreme

  Using vs 6.3.6 on my Mac Pro. Whenever I run the utility it is something different, but there is always at least one of my extremes that will not be detected. Usually, none are detected the first time I run the utility. If I'm lucky I can restart the utility time 3 or 4 and is ultimately connected to the extreme, I need to access. Sometimes I have to reboot the extreme to access even if it displays a green light. This problem also occurs with the current version of the iOS of the utility and when you try to configure the extreme of OS X Server. Server loses its connection to the extreme router and keep telling me that I used the wrong password.

  Found some old validation recommended setting up IPv6 on my Mac Pro local linc, appears not to have any effect. Someone at - it other solutions?

  Found some old validation recommended setting up IPv6 on my Mac Pro local linc, appears not to have any effect.

  Most users will have more luck if IPv6 on airports parameters are defined for Local link only... unless your ISP provided you with IPv6 specific parameters to use for their service and you have verified that your devices are actually IPv6 addresses.

  Affecting airports Local link may be worth a try if you have not already done this. No guarantee, that the "disappearing airport" bug has been around since version 6.x of AirPort Utility was introduced more than 3 years ago.  Strangely, it seems to be creeping to the right these days.

  

• What to do if the reset button does not work on the Airport extreme a1408 w / Password lost?

  What to do if will not work the Reset button on Airport Extreme a1408? The password is lost (bought used). I spent several hours trying every method I could find anywhere on how to reset; soft, hard and default. Airport utility doesn't let me do anything without the previous owner password. I can't get him.

  Can anyone help?

  At this point, your only hope is to open the AirPort Extreme to try to repair the reset button... If possible. This link provides some tips on the process to open the unit.

  https://www.iFixit.com/device/Apple_Airport_Extreme_Model_A1408

  Honestly, it isn't easy, unless you're a guy real DIY, you can buy an A1408 used on Amazon for about $35-40.

• Why is it not my Airport Express recognized by Airport utility

  I recently bought a second hand Airport Express (2nd generation).  I gave him a second 10 reset, turned and opened the last Airport utility.  The airport reported no signs of an Airport Express, light orange just kept flashing slowly.

  In the end, I tried an Ethernet between my PC and the Airport Express and the device was picked up by the utility, I set to wireless, WPA, password, country, and anything else relevant.  After a power cycle with cable Ethernet has deleted the device worked perfectly, wireless streaming audio for my Hi Fi.

  If I had not had access to a PC with Ethernet I would not not have been able to establish the airport.  My old Airport Express (2nd generation) who bought new is recognized by Airport utility after a complete reset.

  Anyone know what may be missing in the implementation of the recent addition or what might happen here?

  When you say you have tried the 'later' AirPort Utility, it was for a Mac or an iPhone, iPod, iPad, etc.?

  If it's a Mac, after resetting the AirPort Express Terminal, you can get the running "Wizard" configuration by clicking the WiFi menu at the top of the screen of the Mac and then by clicking on the AirPort Express to the title of the announcement of the new AirPort base station.

  

  If you were using an iOS device, iPhone, iPod, iPad, etc... then you would press to go to the home screen, tap Settings (gear icon), tap on WiFi and tap AirPort Express under the title of the new Station of configuration database

  

  Did you use one of the methods above to get the configuration "Wizard" running?

  If you simply open AirPort Utility, after that the Express has been reset, it does not appear in the main AirPort Utility... unless you clicked the button other peripheral WiFi and then clicked on the AirPort Express to get the "Wizard" configuration running.  In other words, if the Terminal AirPort Express had already been settled until... it seems utilitarian AirPort. But, you would not have seen it in the main window of AirPort Utility since will appear here only devices that have been implemented.

• Linking New Extreme old Extreme and Express. New Airport utility does not recognize old Extreme/Express

  I had a linear new extreme connection (connected to the wireless model Cat5) related to the old extreme then Express (newish).

  I would have put in place using airport Utility (for example) 4 years ago and has worked well.

  I changed my wireless modem (formerly broken) but cannot now reconnect the old extreme and express to the extreme again.

  The extreme new connects to internet just fine as long as it is in Bridge mode (does not work in DHCP/NAT mode).

  My real question is the utility software Airport now seems not to recognize the Express extreme or old old to get re-connected.

  The manual of Apple still shows configurations using the old utilitarian approach Airport (with each unit sitting on LHS page)

  If you're still using OS X (10.5.8)... as, you enter in your profile information... then the AirPort Utility in this operating system must be able to recognize the old AirPort Extreme and Express.

  However, if you have updated to a new operating system such as the Mountain Lion (10.8.x), Mavericks (10.9.x), Yosemite (10.10.x) or El Capitan (10.11.x)... and... you have more "round" or version 'dome' in the form of AirPort Extreme, and an old version of the AirPort Express A1084... so, the new version of AirPort Utility is not compatible with older airports.

  So, this would help a lot if we could get clarification from your part...

  (1) what operating system you're using now?  If you are not sure about this, click on the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then click on about this Mac and post back with the Version of OS X number that you see there.

  (2) what version of the AirPort Extreme you may have.  Is it a 'rounder', or 'dome' in the form of version... or... The "flat" or "square" version? If you have flat or square version, the number of model of the device is required. It is on the lower part of the airport, probably integrated in the base of carpet of MOSS. The model number starts with an 'A' follow-up of four digits. Please post back this information.

  (3) what version of AirPort Express you have?  Please look for the model number on the side of the Express. It is difficult to see, with grey lettering in a certain context, so you need to perhaps good lighting and glasses to discern the number of reading.  As extreme, the Express, model number starts with an 'A' followed by four digits. Please post back this information.

  Once we have the information we need, we know more about how to proceed from this point.

• AirPort utility cannot connect

  I have an Airport Extreme base station which is about a year.  I have several devices connected to the internet via laptop from Samsung, I type this question with this router.  If I run AirPort (windows) v5.6.1 utility he finds the base station (says it's the 7.7.3 version if it's helpful).  When I select 'continue' to try to change the settings, it says it is reading from the device and then gives an error message "an error has occurred while trying to access the device wireless to Apple."  Make sure your network connection is valid and try again. "There are a number of error 10057.  Notable, that he never asks the device password.

  Also, I tried to use the utility AirPort 6.3.2 MacBook Pro from my wife.  With this device, I tried to connect via ethernet cable and wireless.  He sees not the device--even if it is not connected to the internet.

  I rebooted the computer and the router, and the behavior does not change.

  Any thoughts on how to proceed?

  You must reset the Airport Extreme.

  Someone might have the installation program the device to lock... changes accidentally even.

  I recommend you first do a soft reset.

  Press the reset for just 1-2 sec... button the front led will flash amber... This allows you to 5 min of access without security and change all passwords at the factory. That is to say the password main AE will return to the public.

  See if you can access it for 5 min, then make the changes you need.

  Otherwise you need a full factory reset.

  The danger with that is you lose your internet connection and then can't get it back.

  Universal factory reset

  Powering down of EI... That is, remove the power supply cord or the power at the wall outlet, wait 10 seconds... Hold the reset button... be nice... Turn on always even now in reset... and keep holding in for another 10 seconds. You may need assistance because it is difficult to hold in reset and power on. It will show the success quickly flashing led front. Release reset... and wait a few minutes for the TC to reset and return with the factory settings. If the front LED flashes quickly you missed and simply try again. The reset is quite fragile in these... Press the key while it is just click away and not more... I've seen people bend lever or even break. I use a toothpick as a tool.

  I'm a little surprised that you can't access the extreme via the Mac well.

• Airport utility sees my Time Capsule wireless but can't seem to connect to it or to join.

  I recently moved and my new place I had divided the time to be wired into my Mac Mini Capsule.  Unfortunately, my modem and the time Capsule should be in the living room and my Mini Mac in another room (office).  I tried to connect or to participate in the TC with nothing doesn't.  I have reset the TC, restarted the MM and nothing.  Airport utility see the TC, but can't join her.  Any form of guidelines and suggestions will be appreciated, thanks.  DannyOkie.

  If you reset the Time Capsule (TC) properly holding the reset for 7-8 seconds button, releasing one allowing a full minute of the CT to restart... and... "or have a connection by Ethernet cable from your modem to the WAN" O "port on the TC... then the AirPort Utility will not 'see' the TC again until you put up again.

  To do this, you click the WiFi icon at the top of the screen of the Mac and are looking for a list of the new AirPort base station. Just below this list, you would click on Time Capsule to get the 'Assistant' Installation running.  The example below shows an AirPort Extreme as the new device, but you will see Time Capsule on your screen.

  

  When the configuration "Wizard" opens, it will take a few seconds to scan the network and then propose the correct configuration for you, with a screen similar to the one you see below appearing.

  

  Click next to start the process, and then follow the guests to name your wireless network name the TC, set up passwords. Once you have updated TC up and running, AirPort Utility will display the CT if you need to make changes to the settings.

• Time Capsule will not respond to Airport utility

  Here's my situation.

  I have a Time Capsule as my single wireless AP.  The led is green.  All my devices are able to access it without problem.  I can all the Time Machine backups on the internal drive.

  However...

  When I try to access the TC via the Airport on my MacBook Pro (10.10.5) utility I get the next series of notifications:

  (1) when the first attempts to access it, I get the message 'read settings on the Time Capsule XXXXX'

  (2) after a few minutes of this status, I get a yellow triangle with "Device Not Found.  XXXXX Time Capsule was previously part of your network.  Check that it is still within range of your network and it is plugged into a power outlet.  Forget this device removes this network (button) [FORGET]

  When I try to access to utility Airport on my iPad Air (9.2), I am able to access the information about the hardware, but no matter how many times I enter the password, I have no answer.

  The device is not in a convenient place for a direct ethernet access, but it is possible.  Can anyone think of a reason why I can't access via Airport utility?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  If you did not do a complete network feeding cycle in a while, now would be a good time to do this.

  Turn off all devices on your network..., modem, router, computers, accessories, etc... in any order you want

  Wait a minute

  Start the modem first and let run for 2-3 minutes

  Then begin the next device connected to the modem and let it run for a minute

  Keep a minute out one at a time until the entire network is back of boot devices

  Recheck the network and AirPort on your Mac utility

• Airport utility can't find my TC

  When I try to configure my new TC of T3, he appears as a router (not a base station) in the WiFi menu in the main menu as "GPS Wi-Fi-netvaerk" requiring a WPA2-password. Airport utility does not. It's as if it was only one recycled already configured TC. What should I do?

  I don't think I understand your question very well.

  But the way around the problem is the complete reset of the TC and start again... Here are my basics of installation.

  There are some things that are important. IPv6 is always an important issue so make sure you use a link-local only in my point 6 below.

  Also using iOS version airport utility is often more effective than a Mac. Just download airport utility from the app store for ipad or iphone...

  Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the drive hard in doing so.

  Universal factory reset

  Turning off the TC... That is, remove the power supply cord or the power at the wall outlet, wait 10 seconds... Hold the reset button... be nice... Turn on always even now in reset... and keep holding in for another 10 seconds. You may need assistance because it is difficult to hold in reset and power on. It will show the success quickly flashing led front. Release reset... and wait a few minutes for the TC to reset and return with the factory settings. If the front LED flashes quickly you missed and simply try again. The reset is quite fragile in these... Press the key while it is just click away and not more... I've seen people bend lever or even break. I use a toothpick as a tool.

  NB. None of your files on the hard drive of the TC are removed... This simply clears the settings of the router of the TC.

  The installer the TC.

  And then redo the configuration of the computer with the Mavericks - Yosemite - ElCapo. (MYELCAP)

  1. the use of very short names... NO APPLE RECOMMENDED names. Without the space and pure alphanumeric characters.

  for example TCgen5 for the base station and the name of the TCwifi wireless.

  If the problem is using wireless TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as it also seems to help stop the nonsense. But it can be tried in the second round. IE, plan on a first and second series of changes to fix this... If all goes well... I note other steps can you tour2.

  2. use all passwords also consistent with 1. but maybe a little longer. IE 8 and 20 characters of mixed cases and numbers... no alphanumeric non-caracteres.

  3. If the TC is router, you can ignore this point. It is only a problem when the TC is bridged.

  If ensure that the TC is always the same IP address... you will need to do this on the main router using a dhcp reservation... or a bit more complex setup by using the static IP address in the TC. But it's important for deriving from intellectual property in all directions when MYELCAP do not remember his name for 5 min after a reboot done for poor network management.

  4. check that your share on the computer name does not change... Make sure that it is also in line with the above... short without space and pure alphanumeric... but this change will mess up your TM backup... so be prepared to make a new, full backup. Sorry... keep this one for the second round, if you want to avoid a new backup.

  5 attach the TC disc into the computer manually.

  In Finder, go, connect to the server in the main menu,

  Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever ip of TC is that you made static. It's a default router 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with it unless you know what you're doing).

  You can use the name... SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your name of TC... local is the default domain of the TC and does not change.

  However the names are not so easy as... the IP address nor reliable. They are not at least not in Yosemite. The field can also be a problem if you are not clogged or wireless directly to the Treasury Board.

  6. ensure that IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open network, wireless and Advanced preferences / TCP/IP... and the difficulty of IPv6. link-local only. Do the same for the ethernet if you use it.

  

  It is a lot more jiggery pokery, you can try, but the above is a good start... If you still find not reliable... don't be surprised.

  You may need to do more work on the computer itself. for example, to reset the NVRAM/PRAM/SMC... helped some people. A clean installation of the operating system is also useful if you update installed.

• Airport Utility/Airport Express

  I have an old Airport Extreme and an old Airport Express with the Express connected via powerline and as an access point and using the same SSID as the end.

  The system actually works very well, but my question relates to Airport utility, namely that the Express appears in THE time time, has a Mark Green beside him for awhile, then the exclamation mark in a yellow triangle telling me it "was" part of my network but it is is no longer accessible.

  This depends on the sound being defined as an access point, or is it just a quirk that I should live with?  Have a system that works, but is not able to check by the utility Airport is a minor and of course much better than the reverse drawback but I'm curious to know why this is happening.  Thank you

  AirPort Utility is based on both the mDNS (aka, Hello) and IPv6 IP protocols to find an AirPort base station. Don't forget that both of your AirPort base stations more iMac are configured for IPv6 link-local only.

  • For a Mac: System preferences > network > Wi - Fi or Ethernet > advanced > TCP/IP tab > configure IPv6: link-local only
  • For the AirPort Base Station:
    Note: You may temporarily connect your Mac or PC directly to the base by Ethernet station to access.
    • From a Mac: AirPort Utility > select the base station > change > Internet tab > Internet Options... > configure IPv6: link-local only
    • Since an iOS device: AirPort Utility > tap the base station > press Edit > tap Advanced > tap on IPv6 > change configure IPv6 to: link-local only > Tap actually

  For mDNS, it is a matter of "all or nothing" since OS X Mavericks. Unfortunately, there is no real settings, you can change this.

  Some references for more information:

  • Base station airPort not seen or "an unexpected error has occurred" appears in point 6.3 AirPort Utility -Apple Support
