AEBS system gone haywire -HELP!
I’m having some problems with my AEBS network. My server is no longer accessible via VPN.
I have a Comcast cable modem, that goes into an AEBS, that goes on to a switch. I updates the AEBS with the latest Apple software/firmware update sand the system has gone haywire. I would appreciate any help in the resolution.
The Comcast cable modem has a gateway address of 10.1.10.1, the router address is 10.1.10.1
The AEBS used to have an IP address of 10.1.10.162, but after upgrading it with the Apple software/firmware5.7 update, when I go to Airport Admin Utility, the AEBS shows an IP address of 254.128.0.0. And I can’t log into it, If I select OTHER, then a drop down window with IP address 10.0.1.1 shows up. If I enter my AEBS password it opens. In the summary screen it shows the AEBS IP address as 10.1.10.46 with a router address of 10.1.10.1. The AEBS is set to “Share a single IP address using 10.0.1.1 addressing”.
Now for the server. The server shows an IP address of 10.0.1.7. The server had been set to have a manual address of 10.1.10.99. The Comcast cable modem has port forwarding set so VPN access is forwarded to IP address 10.1.10.99 , the server. Of course it does not work now because of the server address of 10.0.1.7. if I set the server manually to 10.1.10.99, it does not have internet access.
HELP! What the heck happened to my AEBS and how do I fix this, so we can have VPN access to the server (OSX 10.3.9)?
I run the Ethernet cable thru the AEBS to the switch so that the both the Comcast firewall and the AEBS firewall protect the server. Am I being overly cautious? I could connect the server direct to the Comcast modem but then it would be on the other side of the AEBS and I think the office computers that attach to the network thru the AEBS would not be able to see it and be cut off from their files.
I'm running out the door, so don't have time for a detailed response.... Just this:
You should run NAT only in one box (the ISP's router or the AEBS).
Your network should be reconfigured so that either the ISPs router/modem does your NAT or the AEBS (with a pblic IP on the AEBS WAN port)
In doing this, if you change the IP of your server, be sure to use the changeip script (man changeip).
Post questions if you have any.
I can expand upon this later.

G4 system gone haywire.....HELP!
I have a G4 that seems to have a directory problem. My machine will NOT respond to any of the commands such as starting with single user mode, or rumming the fsck command. I have run Drive 10, Disk Warrior, Disk Utillity and started up in single user mode. Disk Utillity tries to repair the volume and gives me an "Invalid extent entry" message. I am able to boot in single user mode. I run the /sbin/fsck -y command and get the same error "Invalid extent entry"....what now? I have tried to do an "archive & install" but to no avail. I have tried to start up from the Disk Warrior CD and all it does is spin and them restart. I am on a very early G4 tower (PCI I think...). I am stumped. I have 2 partitions on the drive as well as another internal drive installed. Any guidance would be appreciated! (This machine had OS 10.2 installed.)
Thanks! I am SOOOO glad I found this forum! Everyone seems so helpful and knowledgeble....
Powerbook G3 to Mini (lots in between) Mac OS X (10.4.5)You could try the free demo of DataRescuell to rescue that stuff..
If the demo "sees" your stuff, you can purchase the full version to rescue the bigger files.
Next run your Apple Hardware Test and see if it flags any hardware. Hardware might have corrupted your directory. If you don't have that disk, or have run it with no errors, then I think your only option (an Archive and Install will not help you with those serious directory issues), is the following;
This is the best way to Erase and Install. First backup all your important stuff, if you can, as the following will erase everything on your drive; it will be unrecoverable. Put your install disk in your Mac and Restart while holding down the C key. In Tiger, When you get to the install screen, don't click install and go to the title bar at the top of the screen and click on Utilities (in earlier OS's click on the installer menu).
Click on Disk Utility and choose the hard drive you want your OS on. Then click on the Erase tab. In Tiger, click on the Security Options button near the bottom (it's similiar for Panther and Jaguar).
Once in there choose Zero Out Data (write zero's in earlier versions). This will map out any bad blocks on your drive and bring it back to almost new condition (providing there's nothing wrong mechanically with it, bad bearings, defective or damaged surface, etc.).
Once this is done, go back to the install screen and begin the "Erase and Install" installation. This will put a factory fresh system on a clean hard drive.
Cheers!

Calendar gone haywire, help!! First Blackberry, back to Iphone??
New owner of Curve 8310--a week or so. First Blackberry. I took the Iphone back because it was to large, but I really miss it.
I just noticed that my calendar is all screwed up. If I go forward, starting next week it shows the same thing over and over. I backed it up and reloaded, but the same. Anyone ever had this problem? Any ideas? Completely worthless at this point.Are you synchronizing the BlackBerry with Outlook or another program? If Outlook, is the calendar in there ok?
Also is your device setup on a BES (corporate email) or BIS (personal email)?

How do I uninstall OS X 10.9.4 Mavericks? My system has gone haywire since I upgraded....please help!

I'm in a terrible bind. I'm 7000 miles away from my home in California (in Cyprus where there's no official Apple support), I have a document and photographs to deliver to my newspaper tomorrow (I'm a writer/photographer) and my PB LCD has gone haywire.
I left it to print, came back and the screen was covered in gray lines. Nothing could be seen in the background.
Rebooted, ie via power switch. No improvement. I don't get the start up tone but I can hear the disk churning. I get the screen full of a repetitive pattern which then becomes a blue screen with only a square inch "rainbow" which I can move with the mouse - I guess that's the cursor. If I leave the PB on, the screen eventually gets one of these funny patterns, typically slightly diagonal lines with the repetitive patterns and the funny cursor disappears.
Hearing the disk underneath all this while starting up, I tried to bring it up in single-user mode (Command-S while starting). I still got the funny screen but after allowing enough time for the start up procedure, I blindly I typed "fsck -f" to check the disk and I could hear the disk churning away for roughly the length of period it typically runs (I'll occasionally fsck the disk manually). I then typed "reboot" and sure enough it rebooted but the results where the same: patterns or the blue screen with the funny cursor and nothing else.
As a result I'd like to believe (hope?) that the disk is ok, it's just my screen that's kaput. I have no VGA port at the back, only the one to which you attach Apple's own displays and the little adapter that I could use to hook up a VGA monitor is back home in Calif.
I suspect I'm dead in the water. If by chance anyone can offer any help, I'll be eternally grateful!
Thanks
MIt is more likely that the video circuitry on your PowerBook logic board is bad, and that your display is fine. That's not necessarily great news.
However, if your logic board is not set to a state in which it does not operate at all, you can place your PowerBook in FireWire target disk mode, and - using another Macintosh of some sort - remotely mount your PowerBook's hard disk, giving you access to all of your data.
Here are target disk mode instructions and some background instructions:
] http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
If you can mount your PowerBook, you will be able to salvage the files, meet your deadline, and relax on a Mediterranean beach before slogging back to the US and enlisting the help of an Authorized Apple Service Provider. -
AEBS suddenly stopped working -- help?
I've had this AEBS for just over a year, and it's worked just fine up through last night. This morning, though, it stopped connecting, though the "fan" in my menu bar showed four bars. I thought it was a problem with my DSL, but the telephone repairman gave the DSL a clean slate of health and showed me that connecting directly to the DSL router with Ethernet was working fine. He did repair the problem I was having with my phones, though.
I haven't added any new "devices" (microwaves, cordless phones, etc.) that weren't here yesterday, nor have I changed any settings. I suppose something could have gone haywire and changed on its own, but that doesn't seem too likely.
I've been given a brand-new DSL modem (it didn't make any difference), and I've restarted my AEBS, all to no avail. If it helps, I use 128-bit WEP with a password. If there's other information you need, just let me know.
So now my MacBook is connected with a wire, but that takes away the advantage of having a laptop. Can anyone point me in the right direction to fix this problem? Thanks!The same thing happens to me when I do a security update. Check out this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=225328&threadrate=1&messageid= 1125560#1125560
It might be your keychain. When I logoff or shutdown, I'll see a popup message: Confirm Application Change
If I "Change All" then the next time I log in, I can connect to the Air Port. Anyway, check out the thread and see if it helps.

ITunes Gone Haywire: Playlists, Folders, Settings and more
Hello all. Man...I really need some sage advice in a bad way. I've been trying my best to conquer this major iTunes problem of mine, but ultimately, I have just not been able to find a working solution to fix it. Even my efforts at pinpointing the source of my troubles have been in vain. I've finally become exasperated enough that I decided I be better off trying my luck here. Any help would be very much appreciated.
THE PROBLEM(S): A couple months ago I was working on some music projects within iTunes, when something seemed to go awry, because it promptly started acting strangely, not like it normally did, and that's when I began to experience the problems. It had always run smoothly for me up until then, but it's been giving me major trouble ever since. Here's some of what's been going on:
Playlists gone haywire: My entire stable of folders and playlists has seemingly gone mad, doing all sorts of unfortunate and crazy things. I routinely get new waves of unwanted playlists and folders appearing in my library--some are exact duplicates of playlists and folders that already existed in my library, while others bear the same or similar titles, but are deformed in one way or another. Moreover, I'll often get a bunch of very old playlists reappear--ones that I had long since deleted from my library. Other times I will find that a whole bunch of the lists and folders have suddenly disappeared again, or sometimes their location will change. The worst of all is when, as happened a few times, I just completed a bunch of changes and modifications to the library's folders and playlists, or I was working on a music project in some lists, and then suddenly it all disappears into thin air a short time later (after a reboot of iTunes, for instance).
B) iTunes Library Files (itl, xml, genius, extras, and sentry): They refuse to nest in the main iTunes folder location they are supposed to reside in. Instead they insist on taking up residence in my Previous iTunes Libraries folder. I tried a few strategies I had come across here in the pages of the community, but none has worked to date.
C) Unstable Preference Settings: At least a few times I've logged on to iTunes to find that my usual settings and preferences have completely changed, causing problems. Sometimes it will change my iTunes Media folder location in Edit>Preferences>Advanced to another location (like to my Previous iTunes Libraries folder location), thus creating a new hierarchy of media folders therein. Also, my settings in View keep changing back and forth, my sources in Edit>Preferences>General had changed on me one time, and more.
MY CURRENT SETUP
-My PC: Dell Inc. Inspiron 580, Microsoft Windows 7 x64 Home Premium Edition, Service Pack 1 (Build 7601)
-iTunes 11.1.3.8
Library Size: 335 GB, 24,734 files, 13,056 folders
I'm an iTunes Match subscriber.
Current iTunes Media folder location via Edit>Preferences>Advanced tab: C:/Users/Dowgiert/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media. Both "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" are currently checked.
Current folder path
Titles iTunes has chosen for my library files it uses: iTunes Library 2013-10-25 Extras, iTunes Library 2013-10-25 Genius, iTunes Library 2013-10-25 (.itl), iTunes Library 2013-10-25 (.xml), sentinel *See screen shot below.
Current location that iTunes uses for my library files (database .itl file, genius file, etc.) is: C:/Users/Dowgiert/Music/iTunes/Previous iTunes Libraries. The folder paths for these same files are: C:/Users/Dowgiert/My Music/iTunes/Previous iTunes Libraries.
-I also have an iPad 2, and a couple other iPods (classic and Nano). None of these currently has the iTunes library in the desired state (thus ruling out importing from them).
WHAT I'VE DONE SO FAR
-Backed up my library with SyncToy 2.1 (x64)
-I downloaded iTunes Folder Watch, however it doesn't seem to work until I fix the location of my .xml file.
-I've tried countless other fixes, changes to my software and PC, etc., but I won't list them all here now. Feel free to ask me more.
WHAT I'VE NOTICED
-It seems like these unpleasant library changes are often more likely (but not always) to coincide with one of the following: an iTunes update; an iTunes Match update; a Genius update; an iTunes shutdown, followed by a later restart of the program.
Again, thank you so much for any help. I'm really stuck. I have all sorts of other information at the ready, so feel free to ask if you have questions.
ForestHello again Mr. TuringTest2! Continued thanks for your help sir! I've long suspected that iTunes Match was partly responsible for my troubles, by the way. Let me update you on what's going on.
New Steps I've Taken:
-After your last response, I did the readings (thanks!), and then began by turning off my iTunes Match. From reading the post you provided on resetting iTunes Match, I got the impression that my order of operations should go as follows (please correct me if I'm wrong):
1st) Disable iTunes Match. [Completed]
2nd) Clean up my library [Started, but not completed*]
3rd) Try the Shift+ start iTunes Match technique to try and successfully clear away any harmful entries that might be saved in my Apple iCloud/iMatch database. [Incomplete]
4th) Restart iTunes and turn iTunes Match back on. Determine if the problems continue. [Incomplete]
*UPDATE: STEP 2 INTERRUPTED
I began clearing, moving, and modifying the playlists and folders that were the unwanted end-products of my recent troubles. I was making good progress cleaning up: Went from 258 playlists (regular) down to 200, and from 67 folders and subfolders down to 27. I hadn't yet deleted any of my 56 smart playlists, but did place them all into one folder (to organize them for later cutting).
Then came the hiccup. I didn't know clicking the button seen below on my account page would automatically turn iTunes Match back on, but it did:
Match ran it's usual 3-step process, and in just a few moments, undid the almost all of the aforementioned progress I had made. Of course, as it seems want to do, it added back a whole bunch of trash playlists and folders.
I ran a couple of your scripts to assess the damage. They showed that just by this accidental restart of iTunes Match alone, my library ballooned from 200 reg playlists/56 smart lists/27 folders, all the way up to new totals of 264/64/47!
When I returned to the problem today, first thing I did was turn iTunes Match off again. This resulted in dropping the totals to 235/63/47. I found that odd, so I did some more testing--turning Match on and off, each time recording the results. Here's all the recorded results in total numbers of regular playlists, smart playlists, and folder counts after each change:
Off: 200/56/27
On: 264/64/47
Off: 235/63/47
On: 285/64/48
Off: 256/63/48
On: 306/64/49
Off: 277/63/49
I ran your PlaylistToFile script each time after I turned iTunes Match off (it wouldn't run when I had Match on for some reason) and made copies of the results. I wanted to be able to see the specific changes being made each time, and to try and determine which specific playlists and folders were acting up. I you think taking a look at these results would be useful, I've copied them into a shared google document you can access at the following link:
-https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ESzfCpcO14krXp5sTQdMke0CpFDF--gbwVxrGaNmbgw/ edit?usp=sharing
I also noticed that iTunes started creating more backups of my library's database files within the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. Here's an image of the new ones:
Also, it appears iTunes created new .itl and .xml files in my main iTunes folder (see below). Or at least that's what the "Date Created" info column says. What up with that? Also, I still have the Trash folder here that you told me to set up, and a couple new .tmp files have appeared. Here's how it looks:
What do you think I should do tt2? If I had completed the four steps (outlined at top) without accidentally turning on Match before I all four were completed, would that have fixed the problem? Should I do something different, or in a different order? I'm all ears. Thank you so much for all your help!
Eternally grateful,

Itunes wont open and when re-installed received this msg: Service Apple mob device failed to start. You have insufficent privileges to start system svc. Help?
Download Itunes from Apple.com, not from within Itunes.
Redo the install, following the below procedure. However, when you re-install Itunes, right click and run the install as administrator. For Win 7, you have to hold down the cntrl and shift keys when you right click and then "run as administrator" will be an option.
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Vista, Win 7 & later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Sounds like either the Display or Graphics chip, that will not be cheap to fix. Because it is a 2006 and getting on in years, it might be best to move whatever you want to keep over to your newer iMac using Firewire Target Disk Mode and let it rest in peace.

I have a user who's Active Directory password is going to expire. I had her reset her password by going to apple > system prefs > user > and clicking change password. She received the error "The password for the account "account name" was not changed. Your system administrator may not allow you to change your password or there was some other problem with your password. Contact your system administrator for help."
I had her change her password via the kpasswd command in terminal and that changed her password on the server sucessfully however the laptop has FileVault on it. Filevault is not recognizing the new password just the old password.
I have deleted the keychain which didn't resolve and now I am going to decrypt and reencrypt the drive. I'm hoping this is an isolated issue I have over 25 laptops configured like this.I "think" the trick was unbinding and rebinding the computer account.
After unencrypting and trying to reencrypt Filevault would still not take the new password.
Rebooted the prompt to update the keychain appeared. Updated the keychain. Filevault would still not take the new password.
Unbinded and rebinded the computer account. It worked and let me add the user to filevault.
