AE only recognized by Macmini after hard reset, not by my Macbook

I did a hard reset on my AE after some network issues (couldn't access the internet) and after that only my Macmini could see the AE and do the admin settings. My Macbook still couldn't see my network so I changed the channel to 10 and suddenly my Macbook was able to recognize my network. Why is that? I should be able to do the install from my Mybook too, if I didn't had my Mini what would be my solution then. Is it some firmware or anything that the Macbook missing? Please help!
Thx

Machines manufactured in Europe can see channels 1-13.
Machines manufactured in America can see channels 1-11.
Airport when initially set up defaults at channel 13.
If your airport base station is broadcasting on channel 13 and your macbook has been made or is using hardware made in america it will be unable to recognize channel 13.
Changing the default channel to something lower than 11 usually works.
If you didnt have your mac mini then you would run a direct ethernet cable between you express and your mac, and airport admin utility will be able to see the base station.
Hope this helps.

8350i uncaught exception java.lang.NullPointerException after hard reset

basic info:
8350i
v4.6.1.204 (Platform 3.0.0.73)
Desktop Manager 4.7
everything is good except that i've been using two batteries, one in the phone and one in a charger. when the phone's battery is almost drained i swap it with the charged one which of course causes a hard reset.
this procedure was working well for at least a week or two until last month when i swapped batteries - after the hard reset i got
uncaught exception: java.lang.NullPointerException
i could make calls but all other software seemed corrupted... virtually nothing else worked... icons missing etc.
tried all sorts of solutions but the only thing that fixed it was a full on device software erase/reload, then a data restore from previous backup. at the time i figured it was just a random thing and was glad to learn how to do a complete software reload.
then yesterday it happened again (again, immediately at the end of the security check after hard reset). now i'm afraid to swap batteries because it would appear that every time i hard reset there is a 10% (my guess) chance of software corruption and a complete reload takes a significant amount of time.
has anybody else noticed this? does anybody have a solution?
can i swap batteries without a hard reset; i.e. swap while plugged into power? i haven't tried this yet for fear of causing my BB harm.
any help is appreciated,

Hello, John.
Make selective backup as it is described here:

Battery after hard reset on Lumia 800

Hi
A few days ago i did a hard reset on my Lumia 800. Since that everything was great, the only reason why i did it, to restore the default settings. After that i updated the firmware to 12070 via Zune. Since that day, my phone doesn't really know how much percentages are left from the battery. Sometimes It's showing a consant value for a long time, then suddenly begins to drain, and after a few it stops. It often happens, that it shows a value, and after an hour it shows a higher value (in percentage) than beforehand.
Today I let It to discharge to 0%, and then i pluged it to the charger. When the phone turned on, it showed me 5%.
It's lifetime havent changed so spectacularly, but i guess its a bit shorter with the same usage.
Is this behaviour normal after hard reset?
Thanks

After update my lumia 800 is failing to recongnise earphone. It keeps playing music on speaker. If I restart my phone then for few mins it is playing music in earphone. But after few mins once again music playback is starting through speaker.
what should be the problem? will hard reset solve this problem? If yes, how to hard reset nokia lumia 800.
Thanks in adv,

My ipod shuffle (4th gen) don't works after hard reset with itunes

My ipod shuffle (4th gen) don't works after hard reset with itunes, it don't reads too like USB by Windows.
Before that i've seen error (-50) in iTunes, so i reset ipod.
I've read all tips on this site, but nothing helps me.

No, USB works good. I've tried reset on my friend's PC, and it saw my ipod and reset was done. But when i tried to load music, it wrote me, that i've installed incorrect software.

Re-install N97mini after hard-reset

Hey,
I already paid the Software by credit card and downloaded it directly on the mobile phone.
Few days ago I had troubles with my phone and I couldn't start it anymore. After hard-reseting it, it worked again.
Unfortunately all software is gone now.
When I start the Adobe Reader mobile it says "10 days trial" version. Do I have to pay again?
Thanks for your answer

Hey
no you don't have to pay again absolutely, just download it again and insert the code received by mail
Good luck

N8 Cant remove Topapps even after hard reset

Hi,
Few hours ago I just bought a new N8. It has in it TopApps and Ovi store, I wanted to remove Topapps but it continue to deny the operation. I tried soft reset, hard reset and in the ned 4 buttons reset. I tried also few solutions offered here in nokia forum but still without any sucess. I cant remove TopApps or Ovi Store even after hard reset, the maps are also here - I thought that these apps will disappear after hard reset.
In applications I got 3 ovi store related apps installed - ovi, Ovi notifications support package and Ovi Store. Social network app is not working too, its showing me service unavailable. Any ideas ?
Thank you for attention

Hi rslid,
Nokia Store or rather Ovi Store is not deletable or uninstalabe as this is one of the applications that is necessary to enable you to download and update downloaded applications to your Nokia N8-00 Belle. If you try to delete or unistall you get the message operation denied so its better if you leave it.
Concerning hard resetting, any time you feel like hard resetting your device use *#7370# followed by 12345 as the default security code unless you have manually changed it but always remember that it will delete all user data from both drive C and E hence a backup of your data with the phone settings unticked or not selected is strongly recomended before hard resetting and also note and remember that after hard resetting always reinstall your firmware to avoid having an unstable device.

thank you.

Make sure there is nothing installing in the background at times after hard reset the phone tries to install some applications that was stored in the card, so wait for sometime or try installing applications on the phone removing the memory card.

External WD harddrive only recognized (icon desktop) after reconnecting

Hi, my external WD harddrive is only recognized (icon desktop) after reconnecting to the USB port.
When i start up the imac, there is no icon on my desktop....
I bought it new in the applestore a few months ago.. started using it now.
someone helped me with time machine... also made one map for movie's... that it.

The 1.5TB is Unformatted, so one would assume that it is already damaged, empty, erased or unusable because of the windows Format.
If it was formatted by a windows computer, then your you will need to check it on that windows computer to see if the data is still there? If so then you will need to move the data to another drive, format the drive for cross platform use and copy the data back to it.
If it was formatted by a windows computer, then your you will need to check it on that windows computer to see if the data is still there? If so then you will need to move the data to another
Select the Partition tab > select 1 or more Partitions > select Options > set the Partition Map Scheme to GUID Partition Table (if your going to use it exclusive for backing up your Mac) or Master Boot Record (if your going to use it cross platform) > click OK > then Format it Mac OS Extended (for Mac) or FAT-32 (for cross platform) > hit the Apply button.

IPod Classic 120GB is not recognized by computer even after hard reset

I have an iPod Classic and it recently would act like it was playing music but was not in reality. I ended up having to hard reset the iPod. Now that it has been reset it will not sync with my computer. I hook it up and the screen reads +do not disconnect+ my iTunes will not recognize that there is an iPod connected and when I open My Computer it often freezes or tells me that I need to reformat the iPod for it to be recoginzed by Windows. I do not have the option to format it to FAT 32 though. What do I do??

This is my iPOD
iPod (touch wheel)
All iPod (touch wheel) models have a FireWire port cover. Scroll wheel models don't, and dock connector models don't have a FireWire port. The iPod (touch wheel) model controls look similar to the iPod (scroll wheel) but the touch wheel itself does not turn. iPod (touch wheel) models are considered second generation iPod models. The top of an iPod (touch wheel) model is shown here:
I went into the link and looked at the 5 R's. Nothing there. I couldn't restore the iPod if I wanted considering I would need to connect my iPod to the Computer which I cannot do.
Putting iPod into Disk Mode - did not work - I tried the click wheel instructions, but it did nothing at all....it was totally unresponsive. then I went and did the *If you have an older iPod model without a Click Wheel* instructions get to the fourth step where it says
*When the Apple logo appears, immediately press and hold the Previous and Next buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.*
but the Disk Mode screen does not appear. It goes straight to ""ok to disconnect"
Is there something else going on or something trivial that I could be doing that could be messing up these instructions?

A DIFFERENT problem with Maps after Hard Reset

Was advised to hard reset my phone after it started going crazy with data which I did using the advised *#7something# method.
Nokia Maps is fortunately still there upon reset. Phew. Although when I open it it starts downloading mad amounts of data.
All my maps are gone. it appears my mass memory got kind of messed up in the reset - it deleted a lot of the data off the mass memory, but left some of it. Example - my music files all went, but the directory structure remained. My photos remained, but Nokia doesn't know when they were taken.
I have tried connecting my phone to my PC and opening maps in Ovi Suite ... and it says 'cannot find maps or voice guidance files in your device', and I appear to have no option to re add them.
There is an 'open help' link below the message ... which opens a blank help page in my browser. Useful.
Can anyone help?

This has occurred the entire time I have owned the iPod. I only discovered iLyrics about 2 months ago. I don't believe iLyrics is to blame.
In general, the lyrics are in English and do not have special characters. This is a good suggestion though. I'm going to pay close attention to see if I can find any weird HTML bits showing up. It seems to occur about 70% of the time. I've assumed that it is completely random, so I'm going to pay closer attention to see if some songs work 100% of the time. Interestingly, it never goes wrong 100% of the time either. It sometimes takes 4 or 5 tries, but eventually I'll be able to scroll through the entire song.
I'm getting the impression that this is NOT a common problem....

N8 Maps problem after hard reset

There have been some cases where users have used the 3-fingered hard-reset method on their N8 devices and lost Ovi Maps in the process. If you find yourself in this situation, you can now resintall Maps via the software update feature in Ovi Suite. For other apps, you may need to refer to your nearest Nokia Care point.
Please note that it is not wise in general to use the 'three-fingered suicide' as a method of troubleshooting issues with your phone, this procedure is intended to attempt to revive a device that will not boot, in which circumstances you already know that everything is going to be lost before starting.
If this or any post answers your question, please remember to help others by pressing the 'Accept as solution' button.

The following is an official statement from Nokia concerning this matter:
You
should not use the "three finger" reset (pressing volume down + camera key +
menu key and pressing power button) to hard reset the Nokia N8-00 device. Doing
this will delete some applications (Ovi Store, Ovi Maps, some preinstalled
widgets) which cannot be restored.
If the device needs to be reset, try the following methods
instead of the "three finger" reset:
Press down the power button for 8
seconds.
Restore the factory settings by selecting Menu
> Settings > Phone > Phone management > Factory settings >
Restore.
The "three finger" reset should be used only
as a last resort if the device cannot be booted up in any other way.
If
successful, the device can be used after the reset but some of the applications
are missing. The device needs to be taken to a Nokia Care point for reflashing
to get the original applications back in the
device.
