Airport extreme with windows service pack 2

I have just recently bought a macbook pro laptop, & have been corresponding with a forum member about a wireless setup.
I want to have a wireless set up with a PC desktop with windows xp home service pack 2 that is stationed in the kitchen. This was recommended to me in this forum. Right now the PC has an Ethernet black box, with at&t DSL service. It has one yellow Ethernet cable coming from the black box to the PC & one grey DSL cord coming out of the black box & connects to a phone in the kitchen. I bought the laptop for my online classes so steady reliable internet service is crucial. Upon reading the specs of the airport extreme however got me a little concerned about which service pack I can use.
Here is my question & comment from another member on this forum;
I just noticed a PC has to have windows service pack 3, I have service pack 2, will it work with service pack 2? I am reluctant to update to service pack 3, my story behind my reluctance; the last time I did it, my PC completely crashed, the hard drive died. It had to be replaced, & ever since I get a little yellow alert to update to service pack 3, but I have not done it out of fear of another meltdown. Right now it is the only computer in our house, & I need it for my online classes. Last summer when I tried the service pack 3 update, & subsequent PC meltdown, I had to go to a public computer lab to finish off an online class, so I do not want to go through this again.
And this is what they said;
+That will give you wired internet access at the PC. Of course, the MacBook Pro will be wireless. I am not sure about the technical specifications required for the Airport. My initial reaction is that you should be fine to use the Airport as just a router with the PC with Service Pack 2. I think SP3 is just required for administration of the Airport using the Airport Utility for Windows. But, you could administer the Airport with your MBP. You may want to confirm this in the Airport forum unless somebody else here knows for sure! Sorry!+

Which would be more powerful & reliable? the newest airport extreme or the aiport with the 500GB time capsule?
Again, it will depend on what your networking requirements are. If we are talking about support for Time Machine backups, then only the Time Capsule (of the two options you listed) would work. Apple doesn't currently support these backups to drives attached to the AirPort Extreme Base Station.
Would I be better off with something that is just for wireless internet? or a combo unit time capsule & airport?
If you don't have any networking gear now, then it may make better sense to go with a combination unit.

My daughter and I got shuffles for Christmas. I am unable to upgrade to the necessary version of I tunes because I do not have SP2. When I try to download the windows service pack 2 my computer crashes. Any suggestions? Are there any ways around this?

Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) won't install with iTunes,either V10.7 or V11. The service can't be started b/c the software is not there. Windows 7 with latest service pack. V11 iTunes installs fine, iPod found, no iPhone 5 b/c no AMDS. Error "insufficient premissions to install AMDS" Tried numerous uninstall / reinstall combinations, installed iTunes as administrator, etc. Somethings not right. What the Heck ?

See the following article for dealing with Apple Mobile Device Services: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
Downloading and installing iTunes will not fix this problem. If the other troubleshooting steps do not work, go to the Control Panel and uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Services, Quicktime and any other Apple program that might be present. Reboot your computer, then download and install the latest version of iTunes.

How to set up Airport Extreme with Charter ARRIS Modem TM902A for the first time for WIRELESS.

How to set up Airport Extreme with Charter ARRIS Modem TM902A for the first time for WIRELESS.
When Charter Tech goes to your site, have them connect the modem up, but do not connect the modem to your iMAC or MacBook Pro. What you want to do is connect the Airport Extreme to the iMac or MacBook Pro first with the Ethernet Cable. You have to do this to configure via Airport Utility to set up the Base Station Name & Base Station Password.
You will then create/configure a Wireless Network, create your Wireless Password that will be entered on each of your Devices, example, Apple Tv, your iPhone, etc., you want to allow access to your Wireless Network you are creating.
Wireless Security will be -> WPA/WPA2 personal or just WPA2
Enter the Wireless Password you want
Verify the Wireless Password (enter it again)
After it is created you will see it on the Airport Utility window with the name you created for it and to the left, will be a Dot (circle that will be yellow).
Next you then want to unplug the power to the Airport Extreme, and then take the end of the Ethernet cable you unplugged from the iMac or Lap top MacBook Pro and connect it to the back of the Modem.
Next unplug the power cord from the modem and wait about 5 minutes, then plug the power back into the Arris Modem and wait until all lights come back on the modem wait
about 5 minutes, then plug the power cord back to the Airport Extreme and you will see it the light blinking yellow. Wait about 5 to 10 minutes, during this time Restart you IMAC or MacBook Pro, and once it is back up click on the Airport Utility and you should see on the Airport Utility screen.
For INTERNET to the left the light should be green and you should see the Airport Extreme also appear and the light to the left on the screen should also be green. If they are, you then should be able to click on the Wireless Symbol on top of bar of the screen and click to select the Wireless Network Name you created.
If you Do Not See the light (Icon) next to INTERNET turn Green, or if you see the Internet Light Green, but the Light (Icon) next to the Airport Extreme is yellow, unplug the power again to the modem and unplug the power again to the Airport extreme and wait about 15 minutes or up to 30 minutes. Then plug the power cord back to the modem wait till all the lights light up then, plug the power cord back into the Airport Extreme and Restart your iMAC or MacBook Pro.
The Airport Extreme light should change from yellow to green. Open up the Airport Utility to see what the indicators are showing they should both be green. Again select Wireless network you created under the Wireless Icon on the top right of the screen. Open Safari and see if you are able to Route to a web page or the apple site should appear.
WHAT TO DO IF YOUR AIRPORT EXTREME WAS PREVIOUSLY SET UP FOR USE WITH ANOTHER CARRIERS ROUTER OR MODEM.
NOTE: If you already had your Airport Extreme connected for example, I previously had ATT Uverse and the Airport Extreme was connected to the Wireless Router Model 3801HGV, I disabled the Uverse Wireless and used the Airport Extreme for the Wireless signal in bridge mode, as the Airport extreme Signal is much stronger than the Uverse router, and I was able to obtain a Wireless signal with the Airport Extreme way much better with no signal loss which was very very frustrating with the Uverse router.
Anyhow if you had it hooked up like this, now that you will be using it with the Charter ARRIS Modem TM902A, you will need to reset the Airport Extreme to clear out the old data it has in memory, with the previous set up otherwise it will not work. Trust me I spent 6 hours trying to make it work reading all Apple Support Community questions and answers relating to this type issue/problem others have been having trying to get their set up working. I tried all the tips, and I finally decided just to see if by chance I would be able to connect with someone with Charter Tech support who might be familiar with Apple to be able to assist me and by luck I did. He told me why it was not working and was all due the previous configuration with the ATT Uverse router was still in memory with the Airport Extreme. Finally it was 10:30 PM when I decided to call Charter Tech Support and I had been working on this since 3:00 pm pacific. I did not call them earlier as all the post I read said they never received any good help from Charter. After calling them I finished up by 11:00 PM and was able to finally connect Apple Tv, iMac, iPhones and Macbook Pro. We love our Apple Product and Happy all is connected with the new
Internet Provider Charter. I must say the speed is way way much better than it ever was with AT&T Uverse.
THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO DO:
First you will need to unplug the Airport Extreme, then by taking the tip of a pen or paper clip end you need to push the reset button on the back of the Airport Extreme and hold it
down and at the same time plug the power cord back into the Airport Extreme count to 5 or 10 then release the reset button. Then once he light in front of the Airport Extreme stops blinking you need to plug the Ethernet cable from the Airport Extreme to your iMAC or Macbook Pro, and restart which ever one you have, then open the Airport Utility once it is back up. If you see airport extreme pop up with the old network name or it shows and yellow triangle click on the Airport Extreme ICON it will not let you configure it but will ask if you want to get rid of it or remove and just do it. Then Again restart your iMAC or MacBook Pro, open up Airport Utility again, and on the top left you should see under “Other Airport Base Stations” the MAC ID for the Airport Extreme.
You will then create/configure a Wireless Network, create your Wireless Password that will be entered on each of your Devices, example, Apple TV, your iPhone, etc., you want to allow access to your Wireless Network you are creating.
Wireless Security will be -> WPA/WPA2 personal or just WPA2
Enter the Wireless Password you want
Verify the Wireless Password (enter it again)
After it is created you will see it on the Airport Utility window with the name you created for it and to the left, will be a Dot (circle that will be yellow).
Next you then want to unplug the power to the Airport Extreme, and then take the end of the Ethernet cable you unplugged from the iMac or Lap top MacBook Pro and connect it to the back of the Modem.
Next unplug the power cord from the modem and wait about 5 minutes, then plug the power back into the Arris Modem and wait until all lights come back on the modem wait
about 5 minutes, then plug the power cord back to the Airport Extreme and you will see it the light blinking yellow. Wait about 5 to 10 minutes, during this time Restart you IMAC or MacBook Pro, and once it is back up click on the Airport Utility and you should see on the Airport Utility screen.

I just got a Charter Modem. Model TM822. While I was moving, my Airport Extreme was still at my old place.
I have a Linksys WRT320N I used for the initial Charter setup.
I can get my Airport to work here, but the Internet light on the Modem flashes Yellow.
Hasn't caused any issues so far but one thing I did notice.
On the Linksys there were 3 DNS servers listed.
The Airport Extreme only lists 2 and i don't see where I could add another, only change whats already there.
I tried everything above, but light on modem still flashes yellow.
I have the technicians cell phone. Told me "that shouldn't be" and gave the same advice listed above.
I'll break down and call Charter one day, see if it's on their end. NSA tracking may need a reset LMAO.

AirPort Extreme with 3T time capsule file security question

Right now I am using a MacMini with an external HD as a file server. I'm thinking g of using the new AirPort Extreme with 3T time capsule to do the same tho g (while also extended my wifi reach).
With the Mac mini I have fine control over who gets to see and do what to which folders and files. It seems that with the AirPort Extreme thee is no notion of permissions or access control -- if you can get on the wireless you can access the files. That is extremely insecure.
Is my understanding correct? Is there no way to secure files hosted on an AirPort Extreme so only certain users can access them??
- john

Are there any instructions for how to format and set HFS+ user permissions on the AP Extreme's HDD?
For the formatting part, you will need to temporarily connect the drive to your Mac, and then, use the Disk Utility (a part of the OS X operating system) to partition and format the drive. You should find this utility in the \Applications\Utilities folder. For HFS+, choose "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" for the Format option.
For assigning user permissions using accounts, you will need to use the AirPort Utility.
Run the AirPort Utility
Select the Extreme, and then, click on Edit.
Select the Disks tab.
Select the HDD in the Partitions window.
Choose "With accounts" as the Secure Shared Disks option.
Click on the "+" button to add user accounts.
For each account desired, enter the Account Name, Password, and File Sharing Access type.
Click Save.
Click Update to write the new configuration information to the base station and wait for the station to restart.

How to setup the airport extreme for window xp

How to setup the airport extreme for window xp

Sorry, I forgot to mention a few points:
1) I don't have the Airport Extreme base station;
2) My PowerBook is connect to the internet thru wired connection with the Built-in Ethernet;
3) The Airport is turned on, but my PSP's scan cannot locate the PowerBook at all (while it find someone else's network)
So, I wonder if I can just connect my PSP to the built-in Airport in the PowerBook directly. So that I can have internet access on my PSP.

ITunes stopped working after Windows Service Pack 2

Maybe it's a coincidence, but I've been having all sorts of problems loading the latest iTunes version (64-bit) ever since I downloaded (not by choice) WIndows Service Pack 2.
iTunes just won't open.
First it would open and say that the color scheme had been changed by some setting somewhere.
Then it wouldn't open at all.
I've fooled around with permissions and compatibility settings -- I've reinstalled the latest iTunes for WIndows 64-bit -- and iTunes just will not load.
I've seen some evidence online that I'm not alone in this problem, though it's hard to tell. The solutions I've seen seem to be a bit complicated -- does anyone have any information on this problem or am I going to have to go back to an Apple computer if I want to continue using iTunes???
Thanks for any help.
B
PS For now I've got to leave on a 4 -hour trip for which I'll have no music thanks to this problem -- so any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Roll back the service pack.(uninstall software through control panel.) Does it work again?
Reinstall service pack. Make sure antivirus and all other software is not running in background. Reboot.

Unable To Install Windows Service Pack 3

Hi,
I just reinstalled windows xp (32bit)for the 3 time in as many months, and I've ran into a problem with the reinstallion Windows Service Pack 3. I keep getting an error that says something to the effect of 'file x can not be found. are you sure (windows dl location) is correct. would you like to retry.' and this repeats a few times until I lose my patience and give up. Anyone know how to fix this?
Cheers
Alex

Hi Alex,
maybe this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3841 can help you.
Also if you have any kind of 'unneccessary' external devices connected while trying to update, like external harddisks, printer, scanner, etc., disconnect them before applying the update.
Hope it helps

Getting Windows Service Pack

Is there a way to programmatically get the service pack for the operating system?
I know System.getProperty("os.version") will give me the operating system version, but I don't see a property that holds the service pack. It looks like I may only be able to get the service pack by creating a DLL with a function that gets the Service Pack and then call out to that DLL from Java. Is that correct? Thanks.

You can retrieve Windows Service Pack using System.getProperty ("sun.os.patch.level"). In my Windows 2003 SP 1 and JDK 5.0:
os.name = "Windows 2003"
sun.os.patch.level = "Service Pack 1"

AirPort Extreme with Bluetooth 2.0+EDR Card for Apple Dual Core

Hello everybody,
Where can I buy the AirPort Extreme with Bluetooth 2.0+EDR card for a new Apple PowerMac G5 2.3 Dual core? What websites or locations in Los Angeles sell this card?
What workarounds are out there?
Thank you all for your answers.
Apple G5 Dual Core Mac OS X (10.4.3) HD Cinema Screen

The new Dual Core G5 machines do indeed come shipped in the base models without Bluetooth or Airport Extreme. There will be a solution available through the local ASP's (Apple Service Providers) and Apple Genius bars in the Apple owned Retail stores. Many of the store employees are not fully aware of the situation, however, they should be able to look up the issue in the Knowledge Base.
There is a service part (PN 661-3692), that should likely be available for future upgrades. At present, the part is constrained, and therefore restricted to exchange only repairs. You may want to contact a service provider or Apple Retail location to inquire on availability as an upgrade part, as it is currently not planned as a DIY (do it yourself) activity and would have to be obtained and installed by one of these service providers.

What is the best way to hookup my airport extreme with my time capsule ?

what is the best way to hookup my airport extreme with my time capsule ?

It sounds like you have the AirPort Extreme configured as the "main" router on your network.
If that is the case, connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule
Power up the Time Capsule
Connect another spare Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule, then click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons and make sure that the setting for Wireless Mode = Off
Click the Internet icon, the click the Internet tab
Insure that the setting for Connect Using = Ethernet
Insure that the setting for Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Click the Update button at the lower right of the window and wait a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart
Then power cycle the entire network by powering everything off....order of power down does not matter
Wait a minute
Power up the modem first, and let it run a few minutes by itself
Power up the AirPort Extreme next and let it run a full minute
Power up the Time Capsule next and let it run a full minute
Keep starting devices one at a time about a minute apart until the entire network is back up
You will need to reset the backup path from your Mac to the Time Capsule to get backups going again
Open System Preference (gear icon on the dock)
Open Time Machine
Click Select Disk
Click the Time Capsule to highlight it
Click Use for Backups or Use Disk and backups should begin again in a few minutes
If you do not want to leave the Mac connected to the Time Capsule by Ethernet, remove the Ethernet cable from the Mac to the Time Capsule, then log on to the AirPort Extreme wireless network

I updated my T21 with XP service pack 3- now my disk in my disk caddy no longer works ;-(

I just updated my Thinkpad T21 with XP service pack 3. Now it seems the spare hard drives that I use in my disk caddy for backup call in to Device Manager but show as unreadable and will not show in "My computer".
Has anyone else had this problem. I use the second drive to do full saves using Ghost to perform a disk copy.

Microsoft Windows Server 2003. Move from SP1 to Windows Service Pack 2?

Hello,
Our hosting system is:
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Server 5.2 Service Pack 1 (32-bit)
or
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Server 5.2 Service Pack 1 (32-bit)
on which we have a Oracle Database 10g 10.2.0.3.0
running.
Now our IT is demanding the Windows Service Pack 2 to be installed on the server.
Are there known issues or can this be done (about 30 patches) without any considerations?
Thanks,
Marco
