• What type of modem do I need connect my AirPort Extreme to BT infinity

  What type of modem do I need connect my AirPort Extreme to BT infinity

  The question is not really what kind of modem you need... it is rather one of 'approved' modems which provides the BT will be compatible with the AirPort Extreme.

  Unfortunately, the AirPort Extreme and other Apple routers are designed to work with standard DSL and cable type connections.  The fiber is a new ball game, and Apple has not yet learned all the rules for the new game.

  Your best bet would be to publish a list of 'approved' BT here modems and then ask other users who might have the same product and an AirPort Extreme about their experience.

  You can also just ask BT what product they would recommend to work with the AirPort Extreme.  They tell you that they will not support you if you are using the Apple product, so maybe it's something to consider as well.

• Unable to connect to Airport Extreme

  I just bought a photosmart 7520 all in one printer.  However, during the installation procedure, it cannot see my Apple Airport Extreme (we see all neighboring routers neighboring!).  I checked the settings in the most extreme airport and they are all set to their default values.

  Can anyone suggest a solution, I don't want to change my router

  Thank you

  Solved!

  I finally found that the number of "Channel" on my router was set to a range higher than the Photosmart could see.  I changed it to a lower number and the here, she found and now works perfectly.

• Airport Extreme with a USB hard drive

  I have iMac, retina runs El Capitan, I have a fairly new Airport Extreme 6.3.6 running.  My desire is to attach a USB drive and have available files can I access any of my computers.  Also have old iMac and a MBP (about 2012 or 2013).  All three are attached to Airport Extreme, through ethernet cables.  I use the wireless for iPhone and iPad, not for computers.

  I have a Seagate 2 TB hard drive. I connected directly to the latest iMac and all is well. Get the connect to Airport Extreme, it does not appear in the Finder.  After reading several articles I tried to install this on a powered USB hub and the HD in it.  Still does not appear in the Finder.

  I tried to reformat the hard disk, but would not be able to afford it. I have app NTSF on iMac.

  I hope that's enough detail for someone to offer assistance.  Please, I beg you!  -Kathy

  You need to connect to a computer and reformat the drive as Mac OS extended (journaled). AirPort Extreme cannot read USB drives to NTFS or exFAT format.

• Extend an AirPort Extreme with a Terminal AirPort Express increasing the number of users?

  I have an AirPort Extreme 2 years ago. Based on the technical page of the product, the router can theoretically connect up to 50 users. That's more than enough if used at home.

  However, I intend to deploy a network of airports in our new office building and we have more or less 50 employees. Because everyone has a smartphone that it needs to connect, I try to at least 100 users/devices. Which includes all the network printers. Obviously, an AirPort Extreme is not enough. Another thing, I have considered is that the office building is 2 floors and all the walls are made of concrete, which means the distribution of the wifi signals is affected.

  I thought to extend an AirPort extreme with 3 more AirPort Expressare (mobile network). It's 2 APs on each floor. That should solve the problem of distribution wifi. I'm not sure the first problem - 100 or more devices into a single network.

  So extending an AirPort Extreme with 3 more AirPort Expressare (making a roaming network with 4 access points) increases the number of potential users of 50 to 200 (assuming that each access point can connect to 50 users)?

  In theory, Yes.  But you must take this specification of 50 users with a grain of salt.  Once there are 20-25 users on the same airport access point, things will slow down significantly. The system will operate as of cold molasses with up to 50 users on the same access point.

  Quite frankly, in a business application, you need a software router. Apple routers are designed for home use.

  Another way to say the same thing, is that Apple does not routers Apple at the Apple Store. Who could tell more than anything whatsoever about the suitability of the products in your proposed network.

  My advice would be to get an IT professional in and review your needs... before you move further.

• How to configure Airport Extrem with OS El Capitan?

  Hello, I need help to set up airport Extrem with the OS X El Capitan. The system always show the same question:

  

  You will not be able to administer the old 802.11 g with your Mac OS X El Capitan AirPort base stations.

  Basically, you have three options:

  1. Replace the Express with a newer 802.11n model.
  2. Use a Mac with OS X Lion or earlier version.
  3. Use a Windows XP or Windows 7 PC.

• The Airport Extreme with Time Machine and HD 1 t

  I have an Airport Extreme with built-in hard drive of 1 t. My iMac has a 1 t hard drive too. Time Machine has successfully supported the HD integrated for a few years now, but he can't. The message said: he needs 2.7 T. Why would it need to back up a hard drive of 1 t?

  I have a few other connected external drives but I made sure to remove them from the Time Machine backup list, so everything there should be backup is the HD 1 t, which still has unused space on it. Anyone have any ideas?

  I have a few other connected external drives but I made sure to remove them from the Time Machine backup list

  I think that you include perhaps instead of with the exception of the...

  If you look at time Machine... the list of disks, you should have is excluded... If remove you it from the list of the excluded, they are included...

  It is opposite to almost anything else, I saw where you include on the list of things.

  In this menu area, you must have all of the listed external hard drives. Because they are excluded not included... If your list is empty as mine... then all are INCLUDED.

  

• Disable the external USB drive autoplay function? Windows 7 Pro.

  I have two external USB drives connected to my computer. Whenever I start, an AutoPlay window will appear for each reader, asking me what I want to do with it. It gives 2 choices "Open folder to view files", or "View more AutoPlay options in the Panel". If I choose to view more AutoPlay options, my USB keys do not appear at the bottom of the AutoPlay under devices. I want to continue to use AutoPlay for my CD/DVD players, but I want to stop AutoPlay Windows popping up whenever I start the computer. It's frustrating to have to click the X on both of these windows, whenever I start the computer.

  Any suggestions?

• How can I get my computer my external USB drive (portfolio) after that I repeatedly get the message that the device "can not be removed?

  Original title: I need a market to resolve the problem remove the instrument.

  How can I get my computer my external USB drive (portfolio) after that I repeatedly get the message that the device "can not be removed? I have closed all other programs and waited for varying amounts of time, and tried all of the fixes that have been proposed on this site. Nothing works. I don't want to turn off the computer whenever I have to remove the device.

  I can't know what "all patches" you've tried, but:

  Make sure that the system restore does not monitor the external drive.  SR does need to control the system drive and to the system drive, SR has only about 1 GB of space max.  Make a right click my computer and select properties then the System Restore tab to configure SR.

  Make sure that the Indexing Service is turned off (at least for the external drive).  To disable disk indexing completely, which will also speed up your computer a bit, see http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp.  For the external drive, right-click on the drive icon in my computer, select properties and uncheck the indexing disc

  There are different workarounds short to shut down the computer, but you might want to try this third-party app first:
  http://safelyremove.com/index.html  Among other features:

  The device cannot be stopped now. Why? Never encountered the situation when Windows does not allow you to remove a device? Unlike Windows, USB remove will show you programs which prevent the device to be stopped and let you close these programs or just files that they opened on the device.

• When you connect 1 or several external USB drives, why is the letter a * shoot?

  When you connect 1 or several external USB drives, why is the letter a * shoot? Referencing external drives through library (Windows V7) becomes a really shiny, totally useless feature without consistency of drive letter. Or unnecessary to be a design goal? I almost had it still works but who finally to 3 minutes). What it will take to make useful new features?

  Windows assigns the first available on the first hard drive connected and one drive letter to another and so on.  Always has, always will. What will help sometimes (but), is to open disk from an elevated command prompt management and adversely affect permanent a letter from your external drive which is much higher than the letters in use.  This will often allow the will to keep a letter.

• I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard Windows. I replaced my PC with a Mac. I need a download link for the Mac version of Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard. I am only to find a link for the Pro edition.

  I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard Windows. I replaced my PC with a Mac. I need a download link for the Mac version of Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard. I am only to find a link for the Pro edition.

  Your license will work for the Windows version and it is too old to qualify for a swap of platform (I don't know if it is a Mac version of standard far in the back - I think that there is for Windows).

• PC does not connect to AirPort Extreme

  I have a windows 7 dell latitude D600 that connects to wireless very well. I think that the wireless card is like b/g/n.

  I have an Airport Extreme 6th Gen AC that sends wifi very well to everything I own.

  The PC sees the network, I click on it and enter the password, he thinks for a while and fails!

  I have studied this problem and it is not the PC, I think it is the most convenient airport.

  Thank you

  If you take a look at the plug of the D600, you will see that it is Wireless 'b' which forces the old WEP security settings.

  http://www.CNET.com/products/Dell-Latitude-D600/specs/

  Unfortunately, the new routers WEP abandoned airport about 3-4 years ago because it is so safe and easily cracked with some free tools available on the Internet.

  A test, turn off security on the AirPort Base Station wireless and see if the Dell can connect in this way. If he can... then you know that the Dell is not compatible with the highest levels of security that use airports and other newer routers.

  Do not recommend that you do this, but you can try to lower the security on the airport to WPA/WPA2...but I don't know if the Dell will connect this way or not.  It won't if it is limited to WEP security levels.

  Better to keep safety at the recommended levels and try a USB wireless adapter to see if it works with the Dell printer.

• Computer won't see airport extreme base station

  I bought a 6th generation Airport Extreme off eBay. Hooked up to the cable modem, but the computer will not see it. Open Airport utility, but it is not the base station.

  Help!

  We need a little more information to understand the best way to proceed at this point.

  Can you please provide the number of the brand and model of the modem?

  Who is your Internet service provider?

  Did you check that the Ethernet cable between the modem and AirPort Extreme works correctly by testing it on another connection?

• Connect to airport extreme USB hard drive

  I have a drive external hard Iomega LDHD-UP that I want to connect to my Airport Extreme (running the 7.6.4)... version but I can't seem to do.)

  Currently, the airport is set up as a bridge to my Verizon Fios router.  It all works very well.

  The instructions from Apple don't seem to help me, because I do not have "Airport disk utility" - only "Airport utility" - and I'm hit a roadblock there.
  (Airport: how to mount a volume of Airport Extreme USB hard drive in Mac OS X and Windows - Apple Support)

  Normally, I can understand something like this, I thought I would ask for help rather than making circles for another hour.

  Any advice?  Thank you.

  OK, so I read all the info in this article,where to get the Airport disk utility >

  ... and I now know that 'The airport disk utility' is no longer (and does not have the article I cited above), but I'm not even see my drive hard when it is connected to the Airport Extreme.
