My Airport Express, setup as a WDS remote with an Airport Extreme, keeps dropping internet connectivity after a few hours. Last reply on July 04, 2008 13:28.
I recently bought a new Airport Extreme Base Station (Gigabit, 802.11n) and replaced my older (c.2005) Airport Express with it as my main network router. Now I want to use the older Express as a WDS remote to extend the network.
I've got everything configured properly through the setup wizard and all is well for several hours after setup-- I'm able to connect wirelessly to the network and connect to the internet. Both the Base station and the remote show Green status lights. All is well.
Then, 4-5 hours later, although the status lights are still green and I can connect to the network wirelessly, my internet connection is lost. And 'Internet Connect' only shows me connected to the Express (MAC address)... and Airport Utility only displays the Express, not the Extreme..
Separately, using either unit as a base station with no remote, I have no problems, everything works flawlessly.
There's a pretty lengthy discussion about this issue on the Apple Support forums (here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.j...) with no resolution-- apart from the hope that Apple will release a new Express revision that may address the problem.
Please don't tell me, Apple, that the solution to this issue is for me to spend more money. Please. -

Slow to delete/move files
I just got a new white MacBook 2.4ghz 2gb. It is fast, except when deleting files from the desktop and moving icons around in the Finder.
Is this normal? It takes about 5 seconds to send a file from the desktop do the trash.
But software opens really fast... -

Have you too learned to expect the "Unexpected Response Format" on your .Mac account? Last reply on July 03, 2008 20:57.
I know that Apple is powering up to convert .Mac service to the Mobile Me thing, but I've been getting this error screen constantly for a couple weeks now. Happens when I open emails, when I send emails, when I try to delete emails... I have also frequently been advised that the system is not capable of deleting messages at all. I'm trying to be patient in anticipation of the switch, but wondering now if my experience is common. (and it's not like this is a FREE service) -

Has anybody had problems with their "Magsafe" power adapter? Last reply on July 03, 2008 16:45.
I have a MacBook Pro just a little over a year old now. The Magsafe adapter charges my MBP fine but the usual set of lights are "green" when full and "orange" when charging. However, since about 5 weeks ago my power adapter turns from orange to black(off) or from green to black. Almost as if the Magsafe was never plugged in. I cleaned out the Magsafe connector and tried it again and it still does the same thing.
The main reason why I am asking if anybody has the same problem is because the Magsafe is not covered under the APP plan. If there are a few people with the same problem then this could be a faulty Magsafe issue and could be covered under the APPs extended warranty.

Leopard doesn't "see" printers Last reply on July 02, 2008 21:24.
Ever since I installed Leopard (I have now updated to 10.5.4) my Dual 2.3 PowerPC G5 does not recognize that my printers (Epson 9800 firewire and an Epson 3800 ethernet) are connected to the computer. I have installed the latest drivers but cannot "add a printer" because they do not show up in the list and there is nothing to add. I can print to a wireless net printer but cannot SEE the ones that are actually hooked up. -

Bug with Spaces + Photoshop CS3 Last reply on July 02, 2008 19:59.
I'm using Spaces and have noticed when switching to Photoshop CS3 using COMMAND+TAB It hides some interface elements. The only way to get them back is by focusing on the current document and pressing TAB twice. -

Got my iPhone wet, and Apple replaced it with a new one... Last reply on July 02, 2008 10:45.
Call it good karma or luck, but I thought I was doomed to pay an arm and a leg for iPhone repair. I was so amazed they replaced my phone, I thought I'd share my appreciation for the Apple Genius Bar.
Even though I got it wet, the water sensor was undamaged, so they replaced it noting "that is just stopped working." Amazing, truly amazing. -

My iPhone calendar will not sync with Outlook 2007 Last reply on April 20, 2008 07:07.
As many folks have noted, Outlook 2007 (and 2003, apparently) does not sync properly with the iPhone. Fewer than half of my appointments end up on the iPhone. No obvious rhyme or reason to what's missing. Apple has a FAQ for this (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.ht...), but this did not help me. Without calendar sync, the iPhone cannot replace my Motorola Q. So sad.tedbarnett reported this problem on July 07, 2007 15:44.

Randomly dropping WIFI connection Last reply on July 02, 2008 07:54.
My MacBooks Pro is losing its WIFI connection at random intervals, again and again. Can be an hour, can be 2, or thirty minutes. This is really a major annoyance, as it's causing me service interruptions and data loss.
Here are a few hints:
This is only happening at my home office. I haven't had this problem at other places, although I know from online forums that many people are having this problem, too (even though they're not at my place :) )
This problem hasn't occured before an OS update that I installed through Software Update, but I don't remember which update it was - it's been a while...; my world was soft and smooth before that (MBP wise at least!)
Once the MBP has lost the connection, I have to manually re-connect to my network even though the password is stored in the keychain and the MBP connects automatically under "normal" circumstances (wakeup from sleep, reboot, etc).
My network is protected with a "Personal WPA". I've tried a diferent router that used WEP, but that didn't help.
There are a few other wireless networks in this building.
I've tried switching Channels. No difference.
This has been going on for months without a solution from Apple.
Please someone fix this or at least talk about it. Even only something like "We're aware of the problem" would make feel a bit more confident.
Thanks,A.

Macbook doesn't shutdown properly after upgrading to Leopard
Ever since upgrading to Leopard, my Macbook does not shutdown properly. If I leave my external monitor or a usb cable attached to a KVM switch plugged in, it absolutely will not shutdown. The screen shuts off and it looks like it has shutdown, but if you listen carefully you can still hear the fan. To restart it, I must hold down the power button for several seconds to really shut it down, and then restart in a normal fashion.
Unplugging both the external monitor and the USB cable usually works, however, sometimes when I pull the plug on the USB cable, I get a dialog box telling me that I must shutdown by holding down the power button for several seconds. -

Billing Problems!!!
I have a billing question. My bank account was charged (3) times on same day (6/12) for MC-APL*ITUNES. AMounts of $49.86, $49.95, and $49.68. Was a mistake made. These are all direct withdrawal payments. Has a mistake been made or is something happening that involves some illegal activities? My children have said they don't understand what this is about.

Sound no longer works on my Apple TV
I have my Apple TV connected to my Yamaha receiver through the optical port. It was working fine until yesterday, when the audio suddenly stopped working. I've checked the connections, and I don't remember changing any settings.
The display on my receiver still indicates that I have a digital audio connection, but there is no sound.
I also tried my DVD player to confirm that it wasn't the receiver, and the audio on that works fine. -

I want a "good" webcam for my Mac Last reply on July 01, 2008 01:03.
What is a "good" replacement for the old iSight camera that Apple used to sell? I really want a webcam that has autofocus and works with the Mac.
