Has anyone actually got one these to work

I'm not be flip.
I bought an Airport Extreme Base Station and it works like a charm. But I can not even get through the utility to get the Express to work.
At first it would go to the end and then I'd get a message saying an error had occured and the Express could not be found. I'd reset it.
After two or three times of this nonsense the unit disappeared for good. Resetting it does no good -- my Mac simply can't find it.
I bought an Express when they first came out and could not get it to work -- even after hours on the phone with Apple.
But here we are two or three years later and the units still don't work.
Honestly, has anyone ever gotten one of these to work?

Well, you can close this thread. Apple can't help and the product just doesn't work.
Connecting to the Express kills all Internet access forcing me to reboot. The, once rebooted I can no longer connect to the Express.
After all these years you would have thought they would have gotten this right.
For God's sake take this lousy product off the market.

  • Rebate has anyone actually got one?

    I have brought two computers for my kids and should have got a rebate on ipods brought as well.
    First of all you have to send all the bar codes and other items, no one tells you this before hand so how many people throw away the packages.
    Then other paper work, I sent both of mine but I am being told that both letters have not arrived!.
    A rebate can only be sent with the bar codes from the box, both of mine have been brought from apple online they show in my account but this is not good enougth.
    I can only say beaware it would appear that these offers are being made to difficult.
    I wonder how many people that should have got a rebate have had it, very few I would think.

    I participated in the student rebate promotion from Apple in September 2005 and September 2007 and each time I've received my rebate. I've sent the bar codes of the computer/ipod that were on the boxes + the required form and received the rebate 3-4 weeks later.
    Maybe your letters were lost in the process. It happened to me once that a friend never received the letter I had sent to him. It *****.

  • Has anyone actually got the Green Screen feature to work?

    Has anyone actually got the Green Screen feature to work? I've been trying for about 8 hours, absolutely no success. I have followed the iMovie Help instructions and the examples on the internet, over and over again. I've tried every imaginable variation on the instructions. Nothing from my green movie shows up. The green in my video is pure green - 100% green, 0% red and 0% blue. Yet the non-green images in the video aren't getting displayed at all. Several other people have mentioned a similar problem on these forums and they are all "unanswered". Is that because this is an unsolvable problem? Is it an iMovie bug? Sigh. I'm a big fan of Apple but stuff like this gives them a bad name.

    After several more hours of diagnosis I have identified some conditions which can make Green Screen slightly work (but not much). The condition is as follows. The green screen clip must be carefully dropped at the beginning of a video clip, such that at least the first two seconds of the green screen clip (no less, but no more or the clip will become attached to the previous clip and then it's broken again) are displayed over the PREVIOUS video clip. But the green screen will not work on the previous clip, only on the second clip. So you will always lose the first two seconds of the green screen video. It took me a lot of experimenting to discover this anomaly.
    Clearly this is a bug, but since not all users on the internet experience this bug, (some online videos shows that Green Screen actually works as advertised) it's most likely related to the video card driver. My video card is an ATI 4870. If you have such a card, there's probably no hope that you can get this feature to work unless Apple fixes the driver or possibly the iMovie application, or you use my tricky workaround.

  • N80 & HOME MEDIA SERVER, HAS ANYONE ACTUALLY GOT I...

    Has anyone actually got their N80 to connect to thier pc's using the Simple server home media server software, if so what firmware have you got on your phone and what access point / wireless router are you using ?.
    My N8- connects to my network just fine and can browse the internet just fine too, and I can also query my N80 using a upnp test program and it shows up just fine using that so it shows the upnp is not getting blocked by anything, but some some reason it just will not show up in the Pc software and when you try to connect to the pc with the N80 all you get is searching for devices..........
    When I quey the phone with the test program I get :
    Description: Multimedia Device
    DeviceType: urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:MediaServer:1
    FriendlyName: N80
    Manufacturer: Nokia
    ManufacturerUrl: http://www.nokia.com/
    ModelName: Nokia N80
    ModelNumber:
    ModelURL: http://www.nseries.com/
    PresentationUrl:
    SerialNumber:
    UDN: uuid:f0086e4c-f219-10e0-ae0f-0016BC7B14C
    UPC:
    So it seems to be working......

    its late and i have not read your post in full (too bad).
    if you've got the server installed (plus UPnP enabled on your router) you should see your phone. if the server can see it you will see a large picture of the N80 there, check the tabs. if you can't do anything with it (like i experienced initially), make sure you got into your actual phones home network sharing settings. i have to share the phones contents each time i use the sever. this finally makes the server see the phones contents as it displays additional tabs once properly connected (i.e. copy to device, copy from device).
    give that a go.

  • Has anyone actually got a Captivate 6 quiz (pref. HTML5) working in Moodle X.X ?

    Thats wbout it really.
    The way that C6 punlishes to a gazillion folders rather makes the process difficult (and I do not want to create Moodle Quizzes and export via Scorm as there is n point in that - I want to create HTML5 quizzes within the topics pages of Moodle.
    If anyone has - or is willin to try - theh I will be amazed franklt :-)
    John

    My best guess here as to the reason for your issue is that you've removed some of the essential objects from the Quiz Slides and that is fouling things up.
    Quiz Slides MUST ALWAYS have the default Question Title and Question Text captions present.  These are special caption objects that are ONLY found on quiz question slides.  If you remove them or replace them with normal captions your quiz slides will malfunction inconsistently.
    The other thing you may have done here by the sound of it is to set Submit All and then move the Submit All button off the slide into the scrap area.  That's also likely to screw things up.  If you do NOT want the user to see the Submit All button until the final quiz question slide then just change them to Transparent buttons and move them ALMOST off stage, but leave at least a few pixels of the button object still sitting over the top of the stage area.  This will mean the user cannot see (and is very unlikely to click) the Submit All button except for the slide where you WANT them to see it.

  • Has anyone ever got 640x400 resolution to work?

    I have spent all day with this trying different mode lines in switchresx with no success. Anyone have any luck with it?

    640 X 480 is the lowest resolution the MacBook supports. I don't think you will be able to force it into a resolution it's not designed for.

    Has anyone actually gotten it to work??
    If you have, please reply with what you did to make it work, how long it took you, etc..
    Thanks in advance!

    Thank you, Thank you Henry1---I hit update, unplugged my iPod-touch,and whala!! the update downloaded to my itunes account. I did have to pay when I had first bought it thru itunes- I tried updating, and syncing several times in the past week or two without success. While my ipod was unplugged I also reset my network settings on the ipod under the settings, general, reset menus before I plugged it back in. When I plugged it back in I had to hit update again to download it to the ipod and then sync to get any applications/games to go on to the ipod. Thanks again Henry1--we were racking our brains trying to figure out if we had the "right network settings" on the computer and/or the computer.

  • Has anyone actually received an answer to a question?

    I posted a question two weeks ago, about flash player just going to a black screen when maximized to full screen and NEVER received an reply.  Has anyone actually gotten an answer to any question by this method? 
    To ADOBE:  I'm sure this is a waste of time, since I doubt anyone from Adobe actually reads these things, but I need to vent.  This is the crappiest customer service I have ever experienced.  Instead of actually having someone at your company respond to e-mail questions you put the burden of solving YOUR PROBLEM to your other customers.  This is a disgusting habit and if there is another option out there other than flashplayer, I'm going to find it, use it and start recommending it to everyone I know.  Your company is crap.

    Problem I have is the swatch doesn't come along for the ride.
    Illustrator makes a gradient from color to clear that can go on top of a raster image and print fine on any output device we've ever owned. InDesign has the gradient feather option which is similar but requires for the two major output devices we have us to either create a TIFF or RIP the item through a prepress system (RAMPage Harlequin RIP, GMG Color Proof's Adobe PDF Print Engine) and send a flattened file. Either way it is Flattened Filesville if you are using InDesign, not if you are using Illustrator.
    If you paste just the swatch and not a group you get this:
    It's been a gripe of mine with InDesign for years (I know there is a feature request form) and the only solution I know of is to flatten files. I've had several workflow vendors promise a good solution and all of them boil down to sending the file through Product X and spitting out a normalized (flat as a pancake) file to the output device's RIP and turning all their color management tricks off on the output device. I know I can do this, but I don't want to have to RIP every single job that is a one off single – twenties quantity poster through a RIP the same way I do an offset job. It just makes me feel like the textbook Bob Levine adage of "your printer is stuck in 1995" kind of scenario. We aren't talking hokey cheapo output devices too. I'm talking first birthday over two hundred kilobuck output devices.

  • Has anyone successfully got a refund on graphics card fault

    My Mac Mini (mid 2011) purchases in February 2012 has died. The graphics chip has gone and the display is some funky colours at boot before it crashes and reboots. I'm unable to login at all, even via safe mode.
    It's almost 3 years old to the day and i'm covered by UK law for 6 years. But has anyone successfully got a refund or replacement?
    I'm concerned they might want to take it in to test and try to repair it, but presumably that would mean an entirely new motherboard and i can't be without a Mac (my main computer) for so long. Do they even make / have in stock Mid 2011 Mac Minis anyway? I'd guess not.
    Should i go ahead and buy a new one with the reassurance i'd get some money back?
    I've made no alterations to the mac other than to upgrade the ram from 4GB to 8GB.
    thanks

    Apple never mad a promise to replace the Mac. Only to fix your OR replace at Apple's option.

  • EBuyNow - has anyone actually received anything fr...

    Hi everyone,
    In early October I purchased the Freetalk camera for a Sharp Aquos TV from ebuynow. At this point they were showing out of stock with an expected delivery date of October 13th. October 13th my EBuynow account said "At warehouse - Will ship shortly".
    On October 17th asking what was happening - at which point I was told the cameras will only be in stock on November 5th (so why did it say at warehouse?) and received $2 skype credit as a gift. I was a bit annoyed, but could cope with another 2 weeks wait.
    November 1st, I receive an email saying these devices will only be in stock on November 20th. On the 20th, I tried to logging into my account to see what was happening, only for their system to say it didn't recognise my account. Even trying to reset my password returned an "account not found" message.
    As a result, I emailed them asking what xxx xxxx was going on (I've been waiting a month for this camera and keep getting dicked around) only for them to reply stock is now arriving on December 5th. Went on their website to confirm and their website says stock arriving on December 6th - so I have a feeling I'm going to get screwed over on this again.
    Has anyone actually received anything from ebuynow? Or should I just ring my credit card company and get them to reverse the charges? For me it seems the only thing this "global logistics company" does well is take your money.

    Hello,
    We have asked eBuyNow to investigate your order status.

  • Has anyone ever got versioning to work??

    Hi everyone,
    I've spent the last good while trying to get the versioning download protocol to work so that only the changed files are downloaded using a jardiff. I've seen these messages before on this forum and I have never found a successfull answer. Rather than first off posting the contents of my entire version.xml file, jnlp file etc, I would REALLY appreciate it if anyone could tell me if they have actually got this to work.
    thanks very much for any help on this at all.
    Brian

    ScheduleWorld.com uses this and it works perfectly.
    There are bugs related to foreign characters and the versioning servlet will bomb because of this. It's 100% reproducable, and I logged a bug but I never heard back from Sun (maybe 3 months ago).
