Cant 'configure' my old graphite basestation on ibook g4

hi. I have just got hold of a secondhand ibook g4 and i'm setting it up with my airport graphite (1st generation) basestation (software v 3.84). Its working great, I can get on the internet and file share with my other mac , but I cannot actually configure the basestation using 'airport admin utility' (v4.2) like on my old ibook g3 (which i still have). It has a fresh install of 10.4.11 (like the g3) and the basestation has NOT got a WEP password set. i need to do it as im selling the other ibook.
When i click the 'configure' button it keeps asking for a password and i then get error message when i enter the old one in. Ive deleted the airport prefs in my user folder. cant think of anything else except it cant be done with an airport extreme card or software on airport bs is incompatible. cheers

i eventually had to just reset the base station completely, over ethernet, using airport admin utility for graphite and snow to reinstall its software. It was not as tricky as I was expecting (only took about 5 minutes) and now it works fine again.

Restoring old Graphite Airport Base Station

So, I picked up an old graphite base station second hand. I brought it home, plugged it in and eventually got it fired up and broadcasting a network. Turns out the previous owners used it for unsecured wi-fi, so it didn't need a password to get on to the internet. However, I wanted to go and configure it and tweak it to my liking, so I decided to go and wipe it clean and set it up myself.
I downloaded the neccesary utility here http://support.apple.com/downloads/AirPortAdmin_Utility_for_Graphite_and_Snow_4_25 , and found the instructions for a hard reset here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2439 .
I set my ethernet settings on my macbook according to step 2, connected a CROSSOVER cable between my macbook and the ABS, and reset the power and held down the reset button when the three lights flashed amber. I waited about thirty seconds after the middle light stayed amber. I opened up the Airport Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow and hit "Configure". Because I had never done this before, I picked the "Automatic" option. The utility asked me for my system password, which I entered. It showed a message about writing some kind of configuration which stayed for about 15 seconds before ending in an error message which read "An error occurred while updating configuration".
This is as far as I have got. I have repeated this sequence at least 15 times, and each time it ends in the same way, at the same spot. I have a sneaking suspicion that a hard reset has NOT occurred, as if I unplug and plug back in the ABS, it resumes it's wifi network settings (I'm using it right now!).
I have trawled the internet, looking for help on this matter. While I have found many articles, none have offered an actual solution to this particular problem. People explain parts in great detail, but everything kinda tapers off when it gets to answering the tough questions.
That's about it, I hope someone can offer me some assistance on what else I should try.

Hello
I am curious to know if you have succeeded at all since your last post. Do the lights (L and R) blink green intermittently now?
Once you are inside the Utility, (if you got this far) something that might need to be checked out is the connection method for internet access in the Network Pane for configuration. That is, de-select 'Connect using PPoE', instead choose 'Built-In Internet, configure using DHCP'. I am too much of a rookie to understand all the terminology. The above made not too much sense but it worked while I had an iBook running Tiger.
I came across this as I can't access the internet via my same base station from my Acer netbook, although others can using their own machines, so looking around.
Good luck otherwise and sorry if it didn't help,

Hooking up old Graphite Airport to wired router.

I had my old Graphite Aiport hooked up to a D-Link wired router which I also used for my iMac and Dell. The Airport was working like a charm until last week when the my D-Link wired router went kaput. I went out and bought a new D-link wired router (ERB-2310) and couldn't get it to connect to the internet through the router like it was before. I remember when I hooked up my Graphite Airport to the router last time that there was some sort of trick to it. Can anyone help me?
Power Book Mac OS X (10.4.8) Graphite Airport

Laura,
the broadband router must be configured to dynamically assign IP addresses within a certain range.
When I got my Netgear, I had to log on to the router and configure the machine to dynamically assign the addresses from 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.5 to connect our four machines.
If this parameter is not configured correctly and the router has a range of let's say 1 address available, it will not allow you to connect more than 1 machine.
The example would be:
192.168.0.1 (Router address)
192.168.0.2 (CPU)
You need to alter the number of addresses used by the router, as follows:
From 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.4
192.168.0.1 (Router address)
192.168.0.2 (CPU 1)
192.168.0.3 (CPU 2)
192.168.0.4 (CPU 3)
Hope this helps.
cheers

I have an iPad 2 and used old Apple ID for iBook app; now it wants to upgrade but I have a new Apple ID, how can I make certain I don't lose any data in my iBooks?

I have an iPad 2 and used old Apple ID for iBook app; now it wants to upgrade iBook but it is "stuck" on my old ID, yet I already created a new ID but it won't let me update the App. I have everything backed up on my MacBook so if I delete iBooks on my iPad and retrieve the App under my new ID and then sync with my MacBook, will I still have all of the books, etc.?

Your purchases are tied to your Apple ID. If you bought all of the books with the old ID then AFAIK you will have to continue to use that ID in order to continue to sync those books to the iPad.
You have to update the app with the old ID so I don't see how you could keep the books with the new ID. Maybe I am wrong about this, but someone else will chime in I'm sure and correct me if I am wrong.

How can I authorize and access my itunes account on a new computer if I cant access my old computer to enable home sharing

Authorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
To deauthorize a computer you don't have:
De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.

Cannot see SSID nor can I use Join Other network with Graphite BaseStation

I got a hand me down Graphite Basestation. I can administer it via Ethernet, and I can get out on the Internet that way, but I can't join the Basestation wirelessly. None of my computers can see the SSID nor can I used the Join Other Network to join. Any idea why?
Thanks!

Correction - I mean Snow Basestation, not Graphite

IP discovery tracking. Cant configure under interface.

I was tasked to re-IP a network and its being done by floor. I need to figure out what iP addresses are connected to ports on each switch. Half the range is being re-numberd while others stay the same. Everything is currently on the same subnet and VLAN so I can differentiate by VLANs. There are over 1000 hosts so tracing mac to ip addresses through "show ip arp" will take entirely too long. I have been using "ip device tracking" on all of the 3750 switches and it works great but I cant configure it on the two 4506-E switches I have. I can configure it globally but the option is not available under the interface. Its running IP-base-12.2(53)SG upgrading to ip services in a week. Has anybody had this issue, or am I missing a command somewhere. I check the configuration guide and its shows that the config is valid for that platform and ios.
BTW: I cant configure it on the core 6513 either its running advancedenterprise12.2 (53)

If you have a backup of your old phone, the backup should include your camera roll photos. Restoring the backup should recover them. This explains how to restore an iCloud backup: iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud.
