Setup airport wrong, now scan doesn't find it. how do I fix?

After excellent Apple help, I setup airport wrong, Now scan doesn't find the wireless router - time machine - at all. I think I may have selected bridge for internet, and now the amber light is on steady and doesn't show up in a scan so I can reset it. I have connected the cable modem directly to the computer to get local internet, but my wireless to other computers is down. Support is closed now - how do I fix? I appreciate any ideas on how to reach the time capsule/airport router.     

The factory default reset does not require that you access the TC via the AirPort Utility first. Instead, you would first unplug the TC from power. Then using a paperclip or similar object depress and hold in the reset button. While still holding in the button, plug the TC back into power. Hold the reset button down until the status light starts flashing rapidly then release the button. You may have to perform these steps a few times to make sure the reset "sticks."
Once you have successfully reset the TC, temporarily connect your computer directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of its available LAN (opposing arrows) ports. You should now be able to access the TC using the AirPort Utility.

    Hi,
    I lost my airport connection when I was using internet and when I wanted to re-reconnect to airport it gave me connection timeout error, I changed my password on router but still doesn't work. How can i fix my problem?

    Hello there hastibahreini,
    It sounds like you were using your Wi-Fi network from your Airport base station and the connection cut out. You have reset the password on the device but the issue persists. I would try the 3 resets outlined in the following article in order to help resolve the issue. If it persists, is the Wi-Fi connection issue happening on more than one device or computer?

    Hi I've downloaded a ringtone to my iphone and now I can't find it - how do I set it as my ringtone?
    Thnx

    It should be in the Videos app (iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store) :
    If you can't find it in there then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ?

  • Bought Garageband for iPad1 and it worked like a dream. Then I upgraded my system to 4.3 and now Garageband doesn't work. How come? When I try to start it just flickers and then goes back to show the symbol for the app.

    I understood what you were saying. You did type 4.3.5 in your post. Several other things to try.
    Close all open apps like I described above. Just tap the home button first so that you will be able to access all of your apps. Close every single one and then restart again.
    You can also delete the app and download it again. As long as you use the same Apple ID and password there is no charge to download it again. Tap and hold down on the GarageBand app icon until it wiggles. Then tap the X to delete it. Download it again.
    Reset the iPad. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen. It takes about 10-15 seconds. Ignore the red slider shut off bar. When the Apple logo appears you can let go of the buttons and the iPad will reboot.
    The final thing to try is to download another app - any free app. Sometimes that seems to reset something on the iPad. You can always delete the free app if you don't want it.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • Downloaded an E.P. and all of the songs play fine except one which skips itself. The play count goes up and if I click later in the song it will play, but it doesn't play automatically, how do i fix this?

    many thanks.
    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

    Glad you found the answer.  But something seems wrong.  FCP should be able to assign the scratch disk to your startup drive.  It's not advisable, but it should be possible.  You might want to try and figure out what's going on before what ever's going on cause other problems.

  • TS3274 i dropped my ipad and now i have a "green screen" how do i fix this?

    i dropped my ipad and now i have a "green screen" how do i fix this?

    If it's an iPad 2, it's old enough to be out of warranty. Courcoul's suggestion to trade it in for a new one is ok if you are in the market. If not and you want to take a risk - and possibly a big one at that - others have reported a pretty extreme solution to this problem. Slap it on the back.
    I know, I know. It's sounds crazy, but there are several threads here claiming it works.
    Here is just one of them. You can do a search to find others.
