Just updated to a refurbished MacBook running Maverick from an iBook on Panther. I can't get iTunes to recognize my library in my external. Thoughts?

I just boght a refurbished MacBook (2009ish) with 4gb RAM and 160gb hard drive, running Mavericks. It is an update from a 2006 iBook running Panther. I have a tera external. As this is a refurbished machine, I do not have the startup disks.
In general setup has been fine, with the exception of a couple of issues.
1. I cannot get iTunes to recognize my iTunes library on my external. I've done all the setup, a few times, but it just won't acknowledge it's there. I downloaded a few files from the Cloud, but when I look in the library they're not there. They're also not in the "music" folder on the hard drive. Suggestions?
2. For some reason, when I create an "iTunes Media" folder on my external, iTunes does not save things into it. Every single album/song/artist is listed as a separate folder. That is, when I open my external in Finder I get a window with well over 100 folders. This would be fine, if not for the fact that I have other, non-iTunes files, on my external and it makes it a pain to find them when I need to. This isn't such a big deal, but it is a rather pain in the arse. Thoughts?
3. I have also moved my iPhoto library to my external, but when I click on "iPhoto Library" in my external I don't see any actual files, despite there being over 1000 photos in the library. Is this normal? It doesn't seem right.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

search Google for "iphone not recognzied" for countless instructions and articles.

Using airport extreme in china - can't get it to work

I just moved to china and have been trying to set up a new Airport Extreme dual band to my high speed internet connection but can't get it to work (bought the AE in the US and worked fine there). I have a Green light on the physical AE, and in Network Status section under Network Diagnostics I get green lights on Airport, Network Settings and ISP, but yellow/red on Internet and Server. The type of internet connection is direct, supplied by China Telecom with no router/modem in my unit, but with ethernet cable running directly to the phone room connection. I manually set up the AE using the same IP address, subnet, DNS as shows up when I plug the ethernet cable directly into my computer, with the internet working fine with a direct connection to computer and no AE.

What you did makes complete sense Mike, but if you don't have access to the router you may have to get your ISP to recognize your Extreme's MAC address:
AirPort Base Station: ISP provisioning may prevent Internet connection via broadband (cable or DSL)
For example: Suppose that you have a computer connected to a cable modem before purchasing an AirPort Base Station. Your Internet service provider might recognize your computer's MAC address as the correct one for your account. Your new base station then takes the position on your network that was formerly occupied by your computer, but you have not taken any action to let your Internet service provider (or its hardware) know the new address. The base station then sends packets to your Internet service provider that do not contain the required MAC address, and the packets are ignored.
It may be as simple as leaving everything disconnected from your service provider for a period of time. You might also try turning Connection Sharing "off" (bridge mode).

I have an airport extreme attached to cable, then one airport express to extend the range. when i try to add an additional airport express to extend range in another area of house, can't get it to work. unility says it has found a new base station

i have an airport extreme attached to cable, then one airport express to extend the range. when i try to add an additional airport express to extend range in another area of house, can't get it to work. utility says it has found a new base station and asks if i want to use it. if i click yes, then the old setup is disabled.

Ok, thanks for clarifying which models you have. Please see the following Apple Support article on how to configure these older base stations for a Wireless Distribution System (WDS).

What ADSL modem do you advise to use with my new airport extreme? I have tried a basic TP-Link ADSL2 modem and I can't get the configuration working. What modem does Apple recommend?

I am having problems setting up airport extreme.
What ADSL modem do you advise to use with my new airport extreme? I have tried a basic TP-Link ADSL2+ modem and I can't get the configuration working. What modem does Apple recommend?

Ok well I have looked around some more and have found this to be the most up to date official response to my question as seen at this link here:
http://www.actiontec.com/support/product_details.php?pid=41#q27
Can I Bridge the Actiontec MI424WR router that Verizon provided, when I signed up for FiOS service?
The MI424WR does not have a bridging option, and neither Verizon nor Actiontec support attempting to bridge it.
The desire to bridge the MI424WR is based on a misunderstanding that it is a modem as well as a router. Actiontec does produce DSL Gateways that have a Transparent-Bridging option, which bypasses or disables the router function and allows the Gateway to act simply as a DSL modem, when it is enabled. Many consumers do not realize that with FiOS, the ONT (typically outside the home) is the device that handles changing the FiOS signal from Fiber to either Ethernet or Coax, and that the Router is just a Router, and if it was bridged or bypassed, it would be a device without a function. For most Verizon FiOS customers their service would completely stop if the MI424WR was bridged, because the Video on Demand service is dependent on it to work.
If your ONT is connected to the Actiontec MI424WR router via Coax, the MI424WR is required due to the Coax connection. But if the ONT is connected to the MI424WR via Ethernet, then in most cases some other router can be substituted for the MI424WR, and it can be removed."
So it looks like I will be calling Verizon support to see about getting the Ethernet connection installed and getting another modem...

I put my password into my airport extreme and says wrong password what can I do thanks

I put my password into my airport extreme and says wrong password what can I do thanks

If your password is incorrect, perform a "soft reset": momentarily depress its reset button, and launch AirPort Utility. A "soft reset" will lower the Extreme's shields for about five minutes, so that you can configure it with a new password.
AirPort Utility is in your Mac's Utilities folder.

Recently bought airport Extreme and have connected the device to the modem. WIFI works. However when I connect the LAN port to a switch I do not see the LAN printer and my NAS. Which setting do I miss?

I have installed my Airport Extreme and have conencted it directly to a modem. WIFI works fine. However I do not see my LAN network (printer. NAS,..).
Analysis:
Scen#1: When I connect the LAN port of the Airport Extreme to a switch (as input) and connect the other LAN devices also to the switch, those LAN devices do not have access to the internet. Also connecting the iPAD with WIFI to the Airport Extreme I cannot find my LAN printer and other devices.
Scen#2: When I connect the LAN port of the Airport Extreme to a router X (as input) and connect the router X to the same switch, and the LAN devices to the switch, those LAN devices do have access to the internet. Also connecting the iPAD with WIFI to the router X I can find my LAN printer and other devices in the LAN network.
Question what has impacted the behaviour of the Airport Extreme, not to detect the devices in the LAN network. Why is the use of a switch directly behind the Airport Extreme not working (no internet access for the other devices and Airport Extreme is not the basis station for the LAN network)?

Your scenario #1 is a correct configuration and should work. It seems as though your Extreme is not acting as a router as I believe you intend.
Most likely, you need to reset your modem. Power it down and let it rest for a few moments. Some need longer than others. Then, I recommend you "hard reset" your Extreme (see below) and configure it again, after the modem has been reset. From then on do not change what is connected to your modem without powering it down first.
Once configured, confirm your Extreme's wireless network works as expected and that your iPad and every other wireless device can load web pages. Then, connect the printer directly to one of the Extreme's LAN ports and confirm that it works as well. After that it should work equally well with a switch between it and the Extreme, as should every other wired device connected to the switch. This assumes your switch is an unmanaged device requiring no specific configuration.
Scenario #2: Having a router connected downstream of another is not a normal configuration, so don't pursue that as a solution. It will only distract you from determining the problem. If you want to repurpose Router X as another device do so only after everything else is working to your satisfaction.
To "hard reset" an AirPort Base Station: make sure it's powered up, then press and hold its tiny reset button and keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.

BT Home Hub - Airport Express - Windows Vista : I can't get it to work!!

Hi, I am running Windows Vista, with the BT Home Hub connected via Ethernet. I want to wirelessly connect to my airport express to stream music to the hifi. But, my airport express client is NEVER found via wirless, but is via ethernet, which defies the point of having it.
Has anyone ever got this to work,and can let me know how?
Thanks!

Here's how to connect to you Airport Express via wireless from Vista I'm just pasting it in as I'm not going to re-type the whole thing, so pardon if it's slightly off-topic in spots. Though I guess it won't help you if you're having problems in iTunes as it's known to not work properly most of the time...I haven't ventured that far as I've read it's somewhat fruitless.
I was just playing with this in Vista Ultimate to hookup a printer we have installed on an Airport Express. Here's what I did to get it to work:
Just to make sure all went as smoothly as possible I ran the Airport utility installer as administrator (not sure if it was necessary but worked fine). I then ran the utility from the start menu and achieved the same results as you (no base stations show up) and even turned off Windows firewall completely to make sure it wasn't causing problems (it asked for permission to give access upon first run).
But to solve the problem I then used the "Other..." button located next to the "Re-scan" button and input the IP address and password of the Airport Express manually. This did the trick and I could connect to the Express and see the config screen. As this was already configured for our network I didn't really change anything but I don't see any problems with doing so and updating the settings from Vista once you are connected to the config screen.
(skip the rest of this if all you needed was to connect the Admin utility)
To install my particular printer (a Konica-Minolta laser) I had to connect it locally to my notebook first, let Vista find the updated drivers online (worked fine!!) and then had to add a new port in the printers properties screens by creating a new standard TCP/IP port and just using the IP of the Express. I then selected that as the printers port instead of the USB one, turned off bi-directional support (REQUIRED!!!!) and printed a test page. All worked great. Note I had to do this whole local hook-up then change ports stuff (and more if I remember correctly) for XP too.
Hope this helps. At least until they update the Admin utility (and iTunes please!!!!) to work within Vista.

MyComputerGuyJo:
I just wanted to add what Apple Support walked me through. Worked perfectly. Similar to some of the posts here. This assumes you have finished the setup of the Airport using DHCP to obtain the IP automatically from Comcast and it says the IP is invalid.
Power off\on Sequence
1, Power off Comcast Modem. Remove Battery back up, if it has one. Disconnect the coax cable.
2. Power off Airport Extreme
3. Let both sit for 3 minutes.
4. Reconnect coax cable to Comcast modem and replace battery and power up.
5. Wait a minute or two to make sure the Comcast modem is completely up and then Power on the Airport Extreme.

Freyfisher: I had the same problem whenn I switched to the Airport Extreme yesterday. Here is what I did:
1: uplugged modem for 30 sec. and detached all ethernet cables. Plugged back in and reattached airport extreme cable after all lights were solid on the modem. Then, I went into Airport Utility and selected, "Base Station"> "restore default settings". Then" Base Station"> Restart. Then go through setup assistant again. If no luck, try setting IPv4 to 10.0.1.2, subnet to 255.255.255.0, router to 10.0.1.1. IPv6 set to OFF if having trouble. DNS adresses: 75.75.75.75, 75.75.76.76, search domain hsd1.ST.comcast.net where "ST" is your two-letter State abbrev. Hope this helps someone....

have an airplay enabled AV Receiver - how do i set up Airplay
I have a Yamaha RX-V673 which is Airplay enabled, but i can't get Airplay to work either on my Mac book or my iphone. The receiver is connected to my network and i can control it using the iphone App and via the web browser option.
Do I need Apple TV or to change some settings somewhere?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

You are making some progress with setup of wireless network. Apparently there is reliability problem with the wireless connection. Perhaps you want to refer to following Apple support documents and start tweaking parameters in the router to improve the reliability. I used to have third-party routers such as Belkin and Netgear but switched to Apple Airport routers (Time Capsule then Airport Extreme for now) because of incompatibility issues whenever Apple upgrade Mac OS X. But since Apple develops Airplay protocol as alternative to Bluetooth for wireless audio/video streaming (with much better bandwidth) and must be deployed in any wireless network, there is no reason third-party routers not working for Airplay protocol.

Port Forwarding.....or Port Mapping....as Apple calls it is a difficult and complex configuration method for most users. Because there are so many variables involved in this type of setup, it is not possible to provide a step by step guide that will work for everyone with all devices.
It is possible that a setup guide exists for the the WD drive and AirPort Extreme, but you will have to go looking for it on the Internet. Even if you find one, it may not be tailored to your specific situation or needs.
Sometimes, you can do everything right....at least according to someone's article or "how to" guide, and things still will not work correctly.
In situations like this, when you really don't know what to do, you need to enlist the aid of an IT pro, who will know what to do based on your particular products and unique circumstances. Sometimes....they won't be able to get things working either due to particular circumstances.
But, before you do this, I would strongly recommend that you use a Static IP address for your Internet connection with your ISP. If you do not have this now, contact them to ask them if they offer this type of connection. Expect to pay more for this type of service, of course.

Still can't get airplay to work!!!!!

Grrrrrrrrr. Still can't get airplay to work with either my iPad or my iPhone to my atv2. Everything has the latest firmware, including my airport extreme. Airplay is turned on in options on the atv2.
Everything is on the same network. I even switched networks but still nothing.
I do not see the blue icon that let's me stream to the tv.
What the heck am I doing wrong?

Hi,
Your profile indicates you are running v10.5.7. If that's the case, you need to update your system software to v10.5.8 which is the minimum requirement for the iPad.
Click the Apple () menu then click: Software Update...
And make sure Bluetooth is not enabled on either the iPad or the iPhone. Tapping Settings / General / Bluetooth.

The air port on my imac went off and i can not get it to work

my air port on the imac weny off and i can not get it to work now

Apple used to use airport name for everything.. is this the internal wireless card?? Or external airport router?
If it is the internal wireless card, is it still listed in system profile.. and do a hardware test with your original CD.
See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509
The problems with Mavericks are very great.. if you upgrade installed anything can happen.. a common feature is the internal wireless card fails to work.
Give details and we can figure it out.
Here is discussion about the same thing as I think has happened to your imac in macbook.

The number of pictures/videos on the device is irrelevant. If there is not available space on the device, there is no way to take pictures. Pictures, videos, music, iBooks, and any other media share the same space.
Might be a good idea to manage the content on the device going forward so that there is always space available.
Try not to fall into the misconception that many others experience, believing that the iPhone is a storage device, it simply is not. Instead it is intended to be a mirror of the content on the computer.

Have entrourage and want to use Mail. Can't get it to work.

I had a macbook and purchased the Microsoft office for Mac which included Entrourage.
I have now purchased a new macbook Pro and want to begin to use Mail rather than Entrourage.
I have Entrourage on my new computer but i can't get it to transfer my information to the the Mail program
I am on Charter.net at my office and sbcglobal.net at home.
How can i get this to work. I can receive on Mail, but i can't send.

check your outgoing port settings and make sure it's using a specific port and not the default port, also you might want to check to see if it is using SSL, TLS or any other encryption. Verify the setting from your old machine setup.
