Airport Disk not showing after update

Hello,
I have an Airport Extreme with a USB HD attached and the system was working perfectly. I added an Airport Express to the network (I wanted airtunes on the HIFI) set it up with the same password and name as the Airport Extreme to extend the wifi, both are on an ethernet network via a gigabyte switch and internet modem/router. During the process Airport Utilities was updated from 5.3.1 to 5.3.2 via Software update. The extreme was moved also to a new spot in the house.
The problem now, the Airport disk connected to the extreme doesn't show up anywhere. It doesn't mount and Airport Utilities doesn't even see the HD connected to the extreme. I can see both airport base stations in the Airport Utilities.
I've changed cables, tried different settings, I can't find my lost HD. I don't know how to fix the problem.
Can someone help me out, please.
marc.

thanks for trying to help, but I'd done that already, but I tried it again anyway, you know, just incase, but the drive is still not showing up on the Airport.
I did notice though that the drive is formatted with a GUID Partition Table, would that be the problem since I'm still on a G4, not an Intel?????

Airport Express not working after update

I can no longer connect to my network through my Airport Express.
This afternoon I started up the software updated program in my MacBook Air and through my fully functioning network a whole bunch of updates were downloaded and installed.
But when everything was done I could no longer connect to my network through my Airport Express!
Unfortunately I didn't really notice what kind of updates I was installing.
There were seven in total. I think one was a firmware for my MacBook Air.
I also think there was one for my Airport Express because the last update was about it somehow and it needed to close down the network in order to finish the update. But when it was supposed to reconnect nothing worked.
I've turned off my modem, my airport express and my air but there's been no improvement.
My Win PC can't access the network any more either.
I've also tried to put the network cable straight in my PC and it works fine, so there's nothing wrong with the modem or the cable.
It must be my Airport Express...
The Airport Utility program can't find my Airport Express.
I can find other networks in the area but not my own.
What to do?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Website icon not showing after update

So after I updated firefox from v11 to 15 I noticed a change I dislike very much. The tiny little website icons/thumbnails are missing and instead there's this ugly earth thingy. Now, I'm not very good with computers and technical things so I apologize on beforehand if this is something really simple to solve or if I'm wasting your time.
Here's a picture from two screenshots of before and after to show you what I mean:
http://tinypic.com/r/io27us/6
Another thing I noticed was that I had something called 'microsoft framework' I think, and when I updated it wasn't compatible anymore and there was no newer updates - is this something that's important or necessary to have?? Is it okay to not have it anymore?
Last but least - the color has changed as you can also see in the picture, from a nice soft blue to a light one that hurts my eyes. Is there any way to solve this? Like an add on or a plugin where I can change the color?
Thanks so much!!!

You no longer see the website's favicon on the location bar, but you now see an icon that indicates what kind of connection you have.
If you click the icon then with a normal unencrypted HTTP connection you see:
*This website does not supply identity information.
*Your connection to this website is not encrypted.
Only an encrypted HTTPS connection can provide additional information.
The change is for security reasons to prevent websites from spoofing the favicon as a padlock icon or other indication of a secure site.

Airport express not working after updating to 7.6.3

Hi all,
I bought my airport express about 6 months ago. It's been working perfectly. Then this morning, I woke up to the blinking amber lights, not good.
I restarted the modem, and checked the connection (by hooking up my mbp directly to the modem) and everything is fine. I plugged in the ethernet cable to airport express, powered down then up, no luck. Airport utility popped up (on my mbp) asking me to update firmware to 7.6.3 (I had 7.6.2). So I reconnected my mbp to the modem and updated the firmware, connected the ethernet cable back to airport express, powered down/up, still no luck. I grew desperate and did a hard reset, still nothing!
I am not sure what happened here, or if anything had changed, since it was working fine as I went to bed last night.
anyone else seen this before? i checked with Apple, it seems that my airport express is out of the free-repair period.
pls help
thanks a lot

Worked on it some more and finally realized that I've plug the ethernet cable in the LAN port instead of WAN port. So, internet is back. Still don't know what happened (when it died), but owell.

This is where you restore the backup you made prior to the update.

Printer connected to Airport will not work after update

I recently updated my airport express firmware to the 7.6.1. The printer was working just fine before I did this. It is connected to the airport base station via USB. The error message is " USB write error: Unable to send 1024 bytes of data"
As I said before everything was fine until I updated the firmware. Any suggestions? What can I do?

Suggest that you try the following:
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Print & Scan
Click on the installed printer to highlight it
Click the -- (minus) button at the bottom of the list to delete the device
Close the Print and Scan box
Power down and restart your Mac
Make sure that the printer is plugged into the USB port and powered up
Open Sysem Preferences
Open Print & Scan
Click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list area
Hopefully, your printer family will appear in the next window that opens
If yes, click the printer name to highlight it
Click Add
Try to print. Be sure to select the correct printer since it may also be installed on your Mac.
Power down and retart the printer if needed

Contact pictures not showing after update...

Just downloaded/installed the update for my 9900 via OTA (7.0.0.585) and when I went through my contact list, I noticed that at least half of them don't have pictures. (which are linked through FB) This was also the case for my BBM contacts. Would this be a glitch after the installation completed? Or is there a fix towards this?
Thanks!

Yeah, that's another way of doing it.
I'm glad things are back to normal again.

SD Card not showing after Mountain Lion Update

This matter has been discussed for some time now in
Apple Support Communities > Desktop Computers > iMac (Intel) > Discussions
SD Card not showing after Mountain lion Update
Since the update to Mountain Lion, the SD slot does not show up in Finder.
Someone gave a fix using the killall in Terminal, and that worked only once. I have not been able to get that fix to work again.
The only saving grace for me is that my SD Card us is always from my Nikon camera, and Nikon ViewNX 2 software is able to see and read from the card.
Killall may have worked partially in that I no longer get the error message telling me that I have removed the SD card improperly, and need to dismount it first.
However, Finder still cannot see it.

Thanks, Barney ...
Those are basics ... Been there, done that, first.
Then you should hava posted all the troubleshooting you already accomplished.
Does the card show up in System Information? Or is that another one of the "basics" you've already looked into?
Does it show up in Disk Utility? If so, have you tried formatting it there to determine if it is a formatting problem?

Apps not showing as updated

My First GeniPad had problems syncing. It stayed at Step 1, backing upiPad for over three hoursand would not continue. My iTunes is on a Windows PCrunning XP.
I previously created a backup with noapparent problem and updated to OS 4.33. But then I noticed that none of my pdffiles were in iBooks. They showed on iTunes so I tried to sync.
Update on issue: I finally got it to sync, but there is a new problem. Some apps did not show after sync. I noticed that some were not checked off on iTunes even though Ihad selected the option to automatically sync new apps.
I generally add new apps directly from the iPad, notpurchasing through iTunes and then syncing. I went back, checked apps andsynced again.
Now, when I go to the iPad, it shows a number of the apps need updating, even though I had previously updated them directly on the iPad. Most of these apps needing update do not show the latest date for the app "update" to be installed, but show 2010 dates.
Did I miss a step? Are apps still not quite in sync? Is there an option I missed somewhere?

I tried a reset, but it did not help.
Oddly enough, I am now showing about 17 apps that "need" updating, and only one notice actually represents a new revision to an app. For all the others, dates as far back as 2009 show for apps to be updated.

App Store badges still showing after update

Just updated to iOS 8.1 and after syncing my iPhone and iPad there are still badges showing for the number of updates available on the AppStore icon. When I open the App Store on the device it does not show any updates available. In the past when this happened all I did was open the App Store and tap updates. A message came up telling me all apps have been updated and the badge disappeared. Now it is stuck on a number and won't change.

I had the same problem and submitted a feedback report. Until the bug is fixed I just deleted the app, then went to "Purchased" and re-downloaded the app and the badge disappears.

Airport Express not showing name given

Hello Community,
I have the latest Airport Extreme and Airport Express. I am also using the latest Airport Utility, 6.0.
I am using the Airport Express to extend my network. However, under my Wi-Fi icon (upper right icon), I can not see the name given to my Airport Express. Therefore I can not manually select it. I can see it's name in iTunes, if I want to remotely play music and under "Network>Advanced" I can see it has the "same" name as my Extreme, but with an "AE" after the Extreme's name. Im sure that means Airport Express. Also, of course I can see the AE and the name given to it using Airport Utility.
Question, why is the name given to the Airport Express not showing up under my Wi-Fi ? I could have sworn when I first configured it, it showed up under the Wi-Fi drop down menu under "Other Devices", I believe it read.
I am running Lion, 10.7.3
Any help please ? Thank you in advance !

By the way, I set up the Airport Express wirelessly. Should I have connected it with an Ethernet to my Extreme to set the Express as an Extended network device ? Thanks !

Software Updates app not showing new updates

Hi,
The Software Updates app is not showing new updates. I always get "No Updates Available". For instance, I run 10.8.3 but 10.8.4 is not showing up. I run iTunes 10.0.2 and when I open it I get messages asking me to update to newer versions but they are never showing up in the Software Updates app. I played with the Software Updates app preference files but it did not change anything. Any idea on why the Software Updates app is not working properly.
Thanks

Read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data. Quit the App Store application if it’s running. Test after each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Updates
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a folder selected. Move the contents of the selected folder to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
Step 2
Do as in Step 1 with this line:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
If there's no change, quit the App Store and restore the file you moved from your backup, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, recreate your settings in the Software Update preference pane.
Step 3
Hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Move the following items from the Library folder to the Trash (some may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate
Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.*.plist
Saved Application State/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.savedState
Here, "*" stand for a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes.
Step 4
If you still have problems, quit the App Store again.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
open $TMPDIR../C
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). A folder should open. Inside that folder, there may be a subfolder with the name "com.apple.SoftwareUpdate". If so, delete it. You can then quit Terminal.

MBP 17" will not restart after updating Java... why?

MBP 17" will not restart after updating Java...why?
It would actually try to restart for about 10-15 seconds but would quit and then shut down. Tried using P_R_Command_Options but that too failed and again it just shut down. Tried using D at startup which ran a test of the hard drive. No issues there which tells me there's a software problem.
Can any one help?

Disk Utility suggest reformating
Reformatting is not a Recovery Aid. When Disk Utility suggests reformatting, it is because it considers your drive unsalvageable. Yes, you lose all the data on the drive when you reformat.
And yes, Mac OS X Extended, journaled is the method you will need for a Mac OS X Boot drive.
You should also consider buying a replacement drive to have on hand the next time this internal drive gives you the slightest bit of trouble. Possibly an external enclosure to put it in as well. and it would not hurt to go ahead and Install Mac OS X on it and try booting from it, to make sure it is ready.
And make sure your Backups are current, as the next time that internal drive screws up you may get no warning whatsoever.
