Airport driving me mad...please help!!

I recently got a macbook and an airport to connect to the internet. Some days it works fine but some days for no apparent reason the macbook just doesn't find the airport. There are other computers connected to it and they work fine so it must be the Macbook. I've experienced the same problem at school and places where I know I should be able to find 7-8 connections usually. Some times it works again after a simple restart and some times it can take hours before it works again. Please help!
(I apologise clumsy description, I'm not a computer person at all)
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

There are multiple threads on the exact same topic, but anyhow, here's a possible solution that i posted in some of the others:
A guy I e-mailed with last night who had the exact same problem as I described above seems to have stumbled upon a possible solution to the problem!
He downloaded the 293 mb Combo Updater (Intel) found here: http://wsidecar.apple.com/cgi-bin/nph-reg3rdpty2.pl/product=11797&cat=1&platform =osx&method=sa/MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.8Intel.dmg
He had taken a look in /Library/Receipts and found that the previous update by Software Update was only about 9 mb big, so he tried this update and his problem disappeared!
My own airport has mysteriously started working again as well, but I installed the update just to be sure.
I hope it works out for you guys!
Creds to Brad Price for the (possible) solution.

Hi DivaAoife,
Sounds like an update notification for BlackBerry App World. Do you have an email regarding an update? If not, you may be able to see the update notification in My World within App World.

Airport Express (AX) not found after restart....driving me mad, please help...!

Hello,
I tried to search for this issue but never found the solution. In the meantime, it drives me mad......so please do respond if you know the answer.
Here is the problem. I have a WDS setup for our home, time capsule as base and several airport extremes (AX) for the wifi net through the house. In addition there is one AX for iTunes and I have one setup for the printer. Untill last week everything worked just fine. However, after installing a new printer, the printer AX blinked amber. I performed a reset and went through the setup, my AirPort Utility found it right away. I followed the steps for setting it up to join my current wireless network (usb printer). However, after the message: "The settings for this AirPort Express have been successfully updated. You can close this window or wait for this AirPort Express to restart" , the AX restarted, I finally got a message telling me there was an error joining my network. So I closed the ultility, resetted the AX and went through the process again. Unfortunately, the same result. Tried to connect the old printer, same result. Tried another AX, same result. Tried connecting it with a LAN cable, same result. It all goes fine untill right after the restart phase. NExt the AX is not recognized.
As nothing has been changed in the meantime, I have no clue at all what might be the problem. Anyone ????
Looking forward to the answer, untill now, I have not been able to find a solution.
Kind regards,
Mark

Html:link not working in struts project driving me mad, please help...

Afternoon all,
Can anyone help me with an issue I'm having with my first struts project, I'm learning as I go.
Anyway, I'm trying to create a bog standard hypertext link which passes a value back to a specified struts action. The flow of the application
is as follows:
1) search.jsp
User enters a name and postcode to search on, then click submit
2) searchAction
Struts action 'search' is called and does the search in a back-end db.
Each result found from search is created as a javabean (named resultsBean), and added to a list object. The list object is set as a request
attribute named 'SearchResults'.
The action is then forwarded on to another jsp page named results.jsp
3) results.jsp
The results.jsp page retrieves the list object from the 'SearchResults' attribute and loops through each entry
in the list and converts each entry to the 'resultsBean' javabean object.
Each resultsBean object has a getVirtualID method which stores a string value. This value is retrieved and a hypertext link is created which
passes this value on to another struts action named 'select'.
When this link is clicked on, the select struts action is called and the value passed as a parameter is retrieved.
This is the part I can't get to work, I can't get the link to render properly. When I click the link the select action retrieves
& lt;%= resultsBean.getVirtualID() & gt; as the value of the parameter 'vid' instead of the value stored in the getVirtualID method of the resultsBean.
Listed below is the code from my results.jsp page. If anyone can help me get this to work I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance,
Alex
results.jsp code

          <div id="column" style="width: 130px;"><%= resultsBean.getFullAddress() %></div>

       </div>
     </div>
</div>
</div>
<br />
<br />
<html:link forward="/searchpage">Return to search page</html:link>

If you have part of an attribute dynamic, you need to make the entire attribute an expression.
ie instead of
page="/select.do?vid='<%= resultsBean.getVirtualId() %>'"
it has to be
page="<%= "/select.do?vid=" + resultsBean.getVirtualID() %>"
However for my approach, I would aim for zero scriptlets, and use the struts tags even more. For instance instead of an iterator, use the struts logic:iterate tag (or the JSTL c:forEach>
Also instead of div tags, I would use html table tags - <table> <tr><td> etc etc. Thats what its for right?
Here is at least some of it rewritten with struts tags.
I left out the div tags so I could focus on the "important" stuff.
<logic:iterate id="resultsBean" name="SearchResults">
<html:link styleClass="results" page="/select.do" paramId="vid" paramName = "resultsBean" paramProperty="virtualId">
    <bean:write name="resultsBean" property="fullName"/>
</html:link>
<bean:write name="resultsBean" property="fullAddress"/>
<%= resultsBean.getReferenceIcons(portletResponse) %>
<input id="<%= resultsBean.getVirtualId() %>" name="ckbox" type="checkbox" value="" title="tick to select for merging" style="border: 0px solid #ffffff;">
</logic:iterate>I'm not entirely certain what you are doing with that checkbox at the end. They all have the same name, but no value. You couldn't identify at the server end which one was clicked.
Hope this helps some,

I tunes problem driving me mad - please help

Hi, I've just got a new laptop and have installed i-tunes on it. I have copied all my music to the hard drive from my previous computer and i-tunes has has automatically placed all of the music in the i-tunes library. The problem is that for some reason the library is showing 3 copies of each song even though there is only one of each on the hard drive. i have tried removing i-tunes and reinstalling but it is still happening. i have looked through the i-tunes settings but can't work out why it is happening. i dont want to have to go through the library deleting songs as it would take forever...
Has anyone else had this problem? any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

sometimes different songs are placed under one name and also it looks through multiple directories.try to single the folder out for music and then it might work
hope i helped.

FCP plays DVCPro HD - QuickTime does not - Driving me mad – please help-.

Hello
This is a follow on from a previous post. Trying to get DVCPro HD QuickTime file to playback on a MAC Mini. The file opens but the image is white and I occasionally get a dialog box informing me that a QuickTime component is missing.
I have installed Final Cut Pro on to this MAC
I have downloaded and installed the DVCPROHD components software from apple.
From FCP I can do a custom export (File Export QuickTime Conversion) for DVCPro HD but the same option isn’t available if I try and do a custom export from QuickTime.
I have done the same install on a G5 and all is well. Is it the Intel – Mac Mini that is causing the problem? Both MACs have 10.4.8 installed so I don’t think it’s a system thing.
?????..any advise is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely

Display of eBay Sales Manager Sold Page to wide for screen. Scrolling is driving me mad. Help please for Newbie to Mac!

I have a new Mac Book Pro 13” & an iPad for my Amazon and eBay business. I have been a PC user. The problem relates to both.
On my eBay Manager Sold page, the display of the page is wider than my screen. I use Safari and all other webpages are fine apart from this and a couple of other eBay Sales Manager pages. I have tried using the eBay default column widths for the Sold display page & also setting the widths of the Sold columns to my own preferences. However, on each page refresh the display page width reverts meaning I am having to scroll left and right to see full details of each sale.
Help would be much appreciated as it is driving me mad. I have tried all the usual things - page display, clearing cookies, restarting computer but nothing helps.

Hey mylittlefleur,
Sounds like the eBay Manager Sold page expects a very wide window.
Does the content get too small if you zoom out the window?

Airport simply not working :( PLEASE HELP!!

I have macbook OS X 10.5.6, and recently acquired an airport (4.1) from my grandmother, who has a slightly earlier version of the macbook.
I decided i want to try to use it to print. I plug it in and it comes up in my network as 'sue's airport'(it was my g-mas) but the light is yellow and won't give me internet access. I don't mind though, because i already have wifi.
but i would like to use it to print. I've plugged it in to the outlet and the printer's USB. i tried printing bu it didn't work.I tried going to airport utility and it scanned but said it couldn't find an airport. mind you i was like 2 feet away from it.
So i put in the CD to try and install it, but during the installation, during 'destination select' this came up: 'You cannot install AirPort 4.1 on this volume. Your AirPort software is currently up to date.' i have enuugh room, and can't figure out why it won't let me install!
please help!
AND THEN si tried restarting it and it came up in airport utility. Everything was going great, i named it and configured it with my wireless network. But then after it said the update was complete, it was lost again I can't even find it in my wireless networks dropdown, where it was before

You could probably go through about a dozen different settings to find out which one is preventing communication, or you could simply perform a "hard reset" and start from scratch:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1406
If you do the reset properly (hold the reset button in until the LED flashes rapidly - about five seconds) and it will appear as "Apple Network xxxxxx" in Airport Utility.
After that launch Airport Utility, select your Express and configure it using the "Continue" button. Answer the few questions and you'll be all set.

Verizon Fios and Airport not working. PLEASE HELP!

Ok, so I have been trying to get my Airport Extreme and Express to work with my new verizon fios service for about 5hours now. incrediably frustrating becasue with my old service provider it took about 5min.
Here is what i need to do.
extend the fios network using my airport extreme. I need to wirelessly print and use it in my office which is far away from the Verizon MI24WR router. cords are not an option. I need this to be wireless.
I also need to extend my network downstairs to my airport express in order to use itunes to wirelessly listen to music on my speakers.
I have tried other things described in message boards but I need both the extreme and express to be wirelessly connected to the verizon router. Is this possible and if so how! Please explain in the simplest of terms.

Wireless/airport/IP address problem- please help

I have a Powerbook G4, and have recently set up a wireless system in my apartment. When I open the network connection, I'm told that Airport has a strong signal, is connected to my wireless network, and is connected to the internet- yet I can't actually get on the internet or use any program that requires internet access. Can you please help me figure out what settings I need to change to get this to work?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Here is the only way I have gotten it to work. No one has provided a better answer and no one has provided a reason why this fails for so many people. This is a pain in the butt, but it works...
Unplug your laptop
Take out the battery (i use a penny as the key)
Push and hold the power button for 5-10 seconds
Put the battery back in
Plug back in if necessary
Turn on the computer and you should be able to connect.
Unfortunately, I have to do this EVERY time I open the laptop and want to access the internet. HORRIBLE!

Help!! Suddenly..no airport hardware found! Please help!

My 17" powerbook fell and now claims that no airport hardware can be found. I'm thinking the card dislodged or something but how do I re-secure it??
Please help.

I don't think they do loaners, since I've never been able to get them to do that when I've asked, but you can sometimes ask for a replacement machine if the repairs have been enough that they can't solve the problem. Never wait for them to call you back. I've never gotten a call back. Hold onto a case number and if you need to reach them for any reason call them on the case number. We can't really discuss Apple policy here, though I can certainly tell you what I've experienced.
A loaner would technically be a machine you can borrow while yours is off to repairs. The machine you'd ask for a replacement would be yours to keep, and you'd never get back the original machine. Hence the good reason for a backup so you can restore to the replacement machine.

You need to re-run the backup program to unselect the E drive.
As a sidebar, it is actually unwise to backup to the same physical hard drive. You need to realize that you have a single hard drive , that is partitioned in hard disc C,D,E. If that physical hard drive were to crash, cease to function. burn-out, etc, you lose all of it. It is not separate drives.

Can't open .pkg files. Going mad, please help!

I'm trying to open an edirol driver with a .pkg file type but the icon just expands and then nothing happens. Same thing happpens with other .pkg files. I've opened with Installer, tried creating a new admin user, copied to desktop but to no avail. Is there anything else I can try short of Archive & Install? Bit scared of trying that. Please help.
Thanks.

Prince of Wales:
I just downloaded the file in Firefox. In the download window I clicked Open and the file was expanded on my desktop. I located the folder and double clicked. I then double-clicked on the .pkg and it opened the installer and was ready to run the script to see if the software could be installed on my computer.
I suggest that you try downloading the file again and see if a new download makes a difference. Incidentally, not that it should make a difference, what browser are you using? Have you had difficulty expanding and installing any other downloads.
Good luck.

Hi, I would try to use the calendar to fallback on a system restore's point if you can, something hooked's up on your explorer.exe. Could be a malware too, depend what you do on your Windows 7.
