HT2497 Airport is not recognizing my wireless network because my wireless network has the same name as another apartment in my builing.  I cannot change the name because my room mate controls it, is there any way I can make it find my wireless network?

It used to be that the other apartment with the same name didn't have theirs password protected so even though only one or the other would show up, I could always get onto one.  Now, they have password protected theirs and it seems to be that 100% of the time only theirs shows up which I only can tell because it says "invalid password" when I try to connect to the Internet.
I have asked my room mate to just change the name of the network but she is really slow to do anything about it and I need to be able to get the internet at home and the internet is in her and set up through her computer so I really don't have any way of being the one to just go in and fix it myself.
Is there any other way to make Airport recognize that there are two different networks with the same way so it will find mine?  I feel like I have tried everything including mannually typing in the name of my network and typing my password and it still just says "invalid password."  I have also double checked that I was typing in the correct password and I am.  My room mate is not having any problems accessing the Internet so I know the problem is not with our connection (she also has a Mac, almost the same model as me, I have a MacBook Pro purchased in 2011).  I am also able to connect to the Internet on my Mac at coffee shops and the library so I know that the problem is not my computer or my wireless connection so I'm pretty sure it is just that Airport is somehow only recognizing one of the two "WLAN" networks
Any help???!

Hi - you can do what you want to do with AirPlay from your iPhone - but unfortunately it is not as easy as the people in the Apple store told you - your first problem is that you have a non Apple router - you cannot extend a non Apple router wirelessly with the Express - you can only join the network and connect an ethernet device to it - you can however connect via ethernet and have it create a wireless network of its' own - you can set this up from your iPhone or the XP - but this is a complicated setup and would involve many different discussion areas of this forum - therefore I would suggest that you use your 90 days of support and consult directly with Apple to do this - go to this link - http://www.apple.com/support/contact/

  • HT4783 I have an early 2010 and a late 2011 MacBook Pro, they both have the latest upgrade of Lion. Neither of them can "see" each other in AirDrop. I have reset the apple ID on both. Is there any way I can make them "see" each other?

    As far as I know the older mac is compatible with AirDrop.
    Thanks

    So by dual-signal, are you referring to 2.5Ghz/5Ghz signal?
    I'm pretty sure my Mac mini 2011 has that but for whatever reason I cannot send via AirDrop to the mini. The mini can see other computers like my 2010 MacBook Pro and send files to it, but not in reverse. The MBP is unable to see or send to the mini unless the mini has engaged it to send a file to MBP. Even then it's temporary and the mini will disappear from the MBP's AirDrop radar upon completing the delivery of its file.
    So I'm a bit perplexed on how the Mac mini has AirDrop, can see other AirDrop computers and send files to them, but cannot be seen on other Macs to reciprocate.

    After upgrading to OS Mavericks, I realized that the Partition for Windows is gone. I have really important data on this drive without a back up. Is there any way I can get this data before reformatting. Is there any third party software for receiving the data or any possible way? Money is not a limitation to this fix. Please help!!!

    sure pretty simple.  make a backup of your current settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
    then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
    then import pics to computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    you may need to save pics to camera roll first
    then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

  • I accidentally created an iCloud account using the wrong email address for my username - I already have an iCloud account with a different email address username. Is there any way I can merge these accounts?

    I just upgraded my MacBook from OS X 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion so that I could stream from my other devices (iPhone and iPad) to my MacBook.  After making it through the upgrade process, I realized that I used the wrong email address for my iCloud username when starting up on the MacBook.  My iPhone, iPad, and iTunes are under my Hotmail email address and I accidently used my Gmail email address for the MacBook.  Is there any way I can merge these two icloud accounts together? I tried changing my account information to add the other email address, but wasn't allowed because another account was using the name (duh).  If I can't merge them, how could I change the MacBook from the Gmail address to the Hotmail address so that all my devices are on the same icloud account?  It'd be nice if I could keep the free 5GB of storage that comes with my purchase of the software, but I'd rather lose the storage than not be able to stream.

    To change accounts on your Mac, go to System Preferences, sign out of the current account, then sign into the new account.  When you sign out of the current account it will delete synced data from your Mac.  Assuming your data (such as contacts, calendars, etc.) is in the other iCloud account, it will be synced to your Mac when you sign into this account.

    Is there any way to unlock and retrieve my data

    No way to retreive the data, but if you have been backing up to icloud it may still have your old password. Go to icloud.com wipe it and restore from backup. Wipe takes couple minutes, restore from backup a bit longer.

  • My new TomTom doesn't seem to work with my MacBook Pro (OS version 10.7.2). Is there any way I can make it work?

    The message that comes up when I click on "TomTom Home Install" is "You cannot open Home Install because Power PC applications are no longer supported." Does this mean that the TomTom, which is absolutely vital to my life - well, not literally but you know what I mean - can no longer be used with my MacBook Pro? Does Apple want to drive us into using PCs or what is going on? Is there a driver or some other clever means of making the TomTom work as they used to work with Macs? This is an urgent question - please help if you can! Thanks. Bill

    What that means is that is can't be used with Lion 10.7.  PowerPC was the chip Apple used up until 2006 when they switched to Intel.  At that point, they created the Rosetta emulator to allow for PPC support for 5 years.  They finally dropped the support with the release of Lion.  It will only work with OS X 10.6 or earlier.  The other option is to purchase a new GPS, which can be had for $100 for a decent one.

  • Is there any way i can make ase to put something in errorlog when the one of the db is dropped

    Hello
    a silly query
    I had dropped the db and closed the putty can it be possible anyway to prove someone that i had dropped the database.
    Thanks

    I don't know of any way to have ASE automatically log that to the errorlog.
    If this is a general ongoing requirement, I'd recommend using the auditing features.
    To show it historically, the transaction log in the master database can provide proof (assuming you weren't using a shared login).   When you drop a database, ASE logs a BEGINXACT log record that has a transaction name of $dbdestroy <databasename>.  The record also contains the suid of the user and a datetimestamp.
    dbcc log(dbid,0,0,0,number of records to print,0)
    The final 0 is the filter for BEGINXACT record types, which has an op code of 0.
    Example
    1> create database x
    2> go
    CREATE DATABASE: allocating 1536 logical pages (24.0 megabytes) on disk 'master'
    (1536 logical pages requested).
    Database 'x' is now online.
    1> drop database x
    2> go
    1> set switch on 3604
    2> go
    Switch 3604 ('print_output_to_client') is turned on.
    All supplied switches are successfully turned on.
    1> dbcc log(1,0,0,0,1000,0)
    2> go

    Total number of log records 3 qualified out of 3 scanned.
    DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact a user with
    System Administrator (SA) role.
    So the third BEGINXACT record output here shows that suid 1 ("sa", that is me), destroyed (dropped) database named  "x" at 9:26AM

  • Is there any way I can make itunes 10 work for osx 10.4.11?

    This computer works perfectly fine and I see no reason to spend another $3000 dollars on a new mac when I spent $3000 on this computer. There has to be some way to trick the computer to run it. I cannot upgrade to 10.5 either because my processor speed is not supported. So where do I go from here? Apple wants you to believe their computers are so good that they never break... well this is true with my powerbook G4 but they don't even believe their own story because they do not support my computer anymore. I have an Iphone 4 and I cannot connect it to my computer. so I buy a $200 phone and have to spend over $1000 for a new computer? is that what apple is telling me?

    I was hoping there was a way to fake out itunes programing more so than having to update to 10.5 . I do a lot of web developing and if the 10.5 boot doesn't work I am afraid of losing everything and I do not have the capital to drop down on new programs and such. The other hold up is I don't want to pay 129$ for apples 10.5 DVD. I still think it's bs that they can't just write the program to run on these older operating systems and have a (run at your own risk) disclosure. The other option is to continue to use the computer for what I do and not worry about Itunes and get rid of this stupid iphone nd never buy apple products again. Sounds like a better solution in the long run.
