I am trying to extend my airport extreme signal to another airport extreme can this be done? I have tried several time using the automated set up but it keeps failing... I have selected every possible security/password encryption level... What am I doing wrong? If it os possible where can I find step by step instructions? Please & Thank you!
The challenge with the older round AirPort Extremes are that they are "g" wireless devices.
When you configure them for WDS, the speed on the wireless network is cut in half...and probably will not have the bandwidth required to stream video reliably from either AirPort Extreme since both are affected by the WDS setup.
There is not an "automated" setup for WDS. You have to do this manually on both AirPort Extremes. Unfortunately, it is not an easy configuration and it's easy to make a mistake and hard to recover without starting all over again.
Apple's instructions for WDS are here if you want to give it a try.

It is possible that it might work. Keep us posted on your progress
Adding a single AirPort Express will unfortunately not help. You have to have "n" wireless devices at all router points.

I have been unsuccessfully trying to extend the wifi of my Time 2T Capsule with an Airport Extreme 2nd Gen. It works for a while and then loses configuration. I have done everything possible, disconnected it, reset it but it keeps failing, what to do?
What model and firmware is the 2TB TC?
What firmware is the AE?
Does the AE get good signal from the TC in its current location?
Signal can only be extended that is received intact.
Is it extending on 5ghz? As I remember it a Gen2 AE is only single band, although you can choose either 2.4ghz or 5ghz.
I am fairly sure you are going to tell me your TC is AC model..
I would do a couple of things..
1. Fix the wireless name, make it short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
2. Fix the wireless channel for 2.4ghz so it is not going to jump around.
3. Get real results from the AE in its current location for signal strength.. this is really only possible on v5 utility. And that is a double pain with Mavericks because you cannot use it.
Apple have removed all the useful diagnostics from the airport utility. There is next to nothing left. So you need to use the computer and its diagnostics to find signal levels in the location.

I follow the instructions of swiping up from the bottom for the control panel, but nothing appears. What am I doing wrong or what do I need to be turned on or off?
"If you're on your home screen, where your apps and folders are, you can't."
I can on mine.
For anyone having this issue, take your device out of the case and try it naked before trying a reset, restore or Genius Bar appointment. -

when I download from my samsung camera, the photos do not go to the "photos" file. I have to download to "import" then copy them to a separate album. what am I doing wrong?are
Is iPhoto open when you connect the camera and are you seeing the camera in iPhoto?
If not then describe in detail how you're going about trying to import photos from your Samsung camer into your iPhoto Library. From what you've described we have no idea what's going on.
And where is this "import" folder located that you're referring to?

I just got an iphone 5c and downloaded ringtone maker and made a 30 second 4r ringtone and when I try to drag and drop it in the tones folder of itunes nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?
If the file is a correctly formatted AAC file with the .m4r file extension and less than 40 seconds long, then iTunes should put it into the Tones section of the library and move it into the Tones folder inside your media folder.
I've just checked the current version of iTunes behaves as I've desribed, which it does for me at least.
You may need to have some tones in your library for the tones tab to display when the device is connected.

I am trying to set up my emails - and when I sent a test it went to my old IPhone - when I re put all the information into my new phone it says This account may not be able to send or receive emails do you want to save.
What am I doing wrong?Good morning to all.
Well I spent many hours last night trying to get my Mail going on my iPad. I phoned Yahoo. After listening music for 3/4 of hour, they gave me so called advise, which I had already tried 25 times. I exchanged emails with Apple support team. They said I did not have support arrangement, so they could not help me unless I buy one time support that costs $30.
I can do emailing through Safari, but It is not up to current standard after I am so used to using "Mail" feature on iPad.
I am now in a desperation state, so I am thinking to buy one time support from Apple.
Just so someone might be thinking about Downloading Yahoo app for Mail, you should know it would not help me because my iPad iSO is 5.1.1. It has to be iSO 6.0 or higher. So I thought rather than spending $30 on one time support from Apple, I just trade in my iPad to get newer iPad.
Is there anyone out there who might save me $30? Thank you everyone for thinking about my problem. BcCanip -
I can not change the style of a pencil,brush, or pen. The options are greyed out. Anyone know what I am doing wrong???
Hi,
Stroke styles are disabled in HTML5 Canvas document type as the target platform doesn't support those. Please check your document tab if it reads '<yourfilename> (Canvas)' then you have created a HTML5 Canvas document.
If you have created HTML5 document by mistake, then you can copy paste your layers into AS3 document then you can change the stroke style to your desired option.
Thanks!

It sounds like your music was copied from your iPod Touch but not your installed apps. I want to recommend this article to help you Transfer your Purchases named:

Click the Purchased link at the right of the iTunes Store homepage (below Quick Links).
In the page that appears, select a category.iTunes shows you which of your purchases are available for download. You can view all of your past purchases, or just the ones not currently in your iTunes library. Items already in your library aren’t available for download.If you select Music, you can view your purchases by song, artist, or album.

I do not need another wireless network but want to use the airport express for printer access only. Can this be done and how?
You can configure the AirPort Expess to "Join a wireless network" and enable the Ethernet port so that Ethernet devices will be able to connect.
In order to print from the iOS devices, you will need to have an application like Printopia installed on your Mac. The Mac must be active when you want to print.
More details here: Printopia - AirPrint to Any Printer - Print from iPad - Print from iPhone ...
There is a free trial available for Printopia, so make sure that it will work before you buy the AirPort Express. -
Because of getting the message that I had to uninstall Apple Mobile Support Device and ITunes, in order to get my ITunes to be usable, I did that. While trying to re-install ITunes, all I get on the message is the choice to "save" or "cancel". It will not give me the "run" choice. What am I doing wrong? This should be fairly simple to reinstall, I thought.
I am running Windows XP on a desktop computer using Firefox.Thanks so much. This definitely worked. I'm sorry I did not think of using IE. I use Foxfire exclusively so seldom even think of IE as an alternative.

I have converted two PDF files to both Word and Excel. The result is garbage and unreadable. I want to edit the content of the PDF file and thought that this was the solution. What am I doing wrong?
It's probably not something wrong you're doing, just the way the file was
created. You can look under File - Properties - Description and see what
application and PDF producer were used to generate it. My guess is it was
not produced using Adobe software.
At any rate, there's no a lot you can do about it, I'm afraid. You can try
re-frying it, ie sending it to the PDF Printer to produce a new copy, and
then exporting that to Word/Excel, but that's about it. -
