Airport for Windows unable to update Apple ID, but still gives "Unknown Error" and keeps opening Airport. NEED AN UPDATE!

I found out what's wrong only because I still have an old (2010) Macbook Pro and it's Airport software gets the same error, but it tells me what the problem is and let's me fix it. The problem was I changed my AppleID password and it's apparently stored in the Airport Extreme. The windows version just says Unknown Error and offers Software Update, but there is no update. The problem is Airport Utility keeps opening and repeating this error on all Windows machines. If I didn't have the old mac there would be no way out. Please update Airport for Windows.
PS: I don't have a new Mac because:
1. Price is more than $1,000 higher than comparable PC.
2. No 17" laptop offered.
3. Can get a really good graphics card.
4. Limited availability of the really high performance Intel chips.
5. Price is too high (oh, yes, I said that already).

You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

  • ITunes update accepted and updated  but still have 12.01 and cannot open iTunes!

    On a MacMini 2010 era with Maverick 10.9.5 OS.
    Cannot open iTunes after "updating" to 12.1
    Just received an update notice for iTunes to new version 12.1, accepted the update and as required restarted computer.
    Tried to open iTunes - does not open.
    Checking the app info, the iTunes on my computer is still 12.0.1 and I'm unable to open iTunes app in any way.
    Checking the Apple Updates log online it is showing the apps with this update (iTunes 12.1, Safari 7.5.3, Security update 2015-001)  were logged as updated twice on the same date 2/12/15 in the updates record.
    The current version of Safari on my computer is NOT 7.5.3 but is still 7.1.2.  But at least Safari opens and works.
    2 days ago updated my Mac  Air without any problems.
    Help / advice appreciated

    Following another's suggestion I went to Apple online and downloaded iTunes 12.1 dmg  package and installed.
    Solved the iTunes issue, iTunes now opens and  operates.
    Correction: Safari update is 7.1.3 not 7.5.3.  However...
    As far as Safari update and Security update - who knows!  Safari is not an download option with Apple as far as I can tell.

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • Making IE 11 as default browser for windows 8.1 Update

    Hi,
    We are performing bulk deployments for Windows 8.1 Update using Config manager 2012 R2. Its x64 OS deployment.
    I am looking for a way to make windows 8.1 Update IE browser as a default browser for all users.
    Any local group policy or batch file or any script that would do this, would be great.
    Can anyone pls. some script\pointers on how to achieve this? Thanks
    Regards,

    prior to Win8, you could set file-type associations and protocol associations a few ways.
    e.g.:
    http://www.grouppolicy.biz/2011/09/how-to-use-group-policy-to-change-open-with-file-associations/
    Since Win8, there are extra thing to deal with, e.g.:

  • Update DISM in WinPE, Windows ADK for Windows 8.1 Update

    Windows ADK for Windows 8.1 Update, creates WinPE with DISM version 6.3.9600.16384.
    Latest build of Windows 8.1 Pro Build 9600, dated 22/11/2014, has DISM version 6.3.9600.17031.
    Have run the Windows ADK setup again, but says NO Updates available.
    Have created listings of all the DISM files in WinPE and Windows 8.1, but reluctant to copy files across, as I assume that registration / registry changes are also required.
    Does anyone know how we can update the version of DISM in WinPE to 6.3.9600.17031?
    Thanks, John

  • When is the release date for Windows 8.1 update?

    When is the release date for Windows 8.1 update?  You know I pay my bill every month so that my carrier can provide me with the best service.  And yet, I don't see any improvement in my service.  It seems like Windowsphone is an inconvenience to Verizon and that is the way they seem to be treating Windowsphone users.  Do you have the new Windowsphone in stock?  No, but it is available online.  Do you have any Windowsphone cases?  No but they are available in the the color you want online.  Screen protectors?  No the 928 screen protector will not fit the Icon, but let me cut up this other one and make it fit.

    This is the information I received via chat with customer service.  We aren't all hearing the same thing.

    Hello there, RFJA2211.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great troubleshooting steps for unexpected power off of your iOS device:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.
