Can't figure out my Airport Express problem...
I can't connect to the internet with my Airport Express. I've tried every option but none seem to work.
I have a RCA Digital Broadband box, which has a ethernet cable that I plug into my Airport. This is a sublease apartment so the internet was already set up and I just want to make it wireless.
When I go through the setup I choose "I don't have a wireless network and I want to create one" and then I am confronted with the "Bridge Mode" or "Single IP address using DHCP and NAT." I've tried both to no avail. When I choose "Single IP address using DHCP and NAT" it actually tells me that the light will blink amber and asks me to ignore, skip or cancel. The "Bridge Mode" goes straight to the screen I am confronted with if I skip the amber light warning.
It asks for: Configure IPv4, IP address, Subnet Mask, Router Address, DNS Server, Domain Name and DHCP Client ID. I leave it all as is so only IP and Subnet have information filled in.
Anyways, this fails as usual. I get the error saying that the "Apple wireless device does not have a valid IP address." I can pull the ethernet from the Airport and plug it into my laptop and I am connected in seconds... it's very annoying. Any idea of what I am doing wrong?
Sometimes, actually, I get the light to turn green and it says I am connected but the internet still doesn't work. Figures.
Hi,
Well, I went through the entire process (selecting bridge) and ignored the last problem where it said that Airport didn't have a valid IP. The light on my Airport is green and my Airport icon on my mac gives me full bars; however, there is still no internet.
I went into the internet options as you suggested and here are the results:
Connect using: Ethernet
Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
IP Address: 169.254.18.108
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Routher: (blank)
DNS Server(s): (blank)
Domain name: (blank)
DHCP Client ID: (blank)
Ethernet WAN Port: Automatic (Default)
Connection Sharing: Off (Bridge Mode)
When I press the airport tab and click status, which says normal and is green, it brings me to a new section. This section says there is an issue with my internet connection and the cause is that my "Apple wireless device does not have a valid IP address."
That seems to be the issue. I don't know how to fix it though. One thing that looks out of place is that when Airport Utility is searching for my Airport Express network, it reports that the IP address is fe80::21f:f3ff:fef9:fe54%en1.

Help...Can't figure out which AirPort card I need...
I need help figuring out which is the correct AirPort card for my old emac. (see specs below)
I don't know if this model is too old. I don't know how to tell if the emac is "ATI Graphics" or "USB 2.0." These are listed separately as two different emac models in the "compatible" computers for the AirPort Express card.
Any help/direction would be GREATLY appreciated!
_**Hardware Overview:**_
Machine Name: eMac
Machine Model: PowerMac4,4
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.1)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 700 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
Memory: 640 MB
Bus Speed: 100 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.4.2f1Hi LVT and Welcome to Apple Discussions,
The 700 takes the original Apple Airport 802.11b Wireless Card like here:

Here's how to install it if you don't already know. It's a weird one:

IPhone 5 storage completely full and can't figure out to fix the problem?
I got the iPhone 5c in August of last year. Previously, I had owned a flip-phone and only a flip-phone, so you can imagine that it was a big change. Though I know there is so much more that it can do (and so many things I have yet to discover), I mostly appreciated the phone for its photo and Internet capabilities. Only a few weeks after I got the phone, I went to a concert and, as you can imagine, the videos took up a lot of space on my phone. I also have a bad problem with saving screenshots, so I quickly filled up space with pictures. Once I realized it was reaching an overwhelming amount (and space was getting limited), I backed-up my iPhone to iTunes on my computer and deleted around 800 pictures. It barely freed up any space. I did this once or twice until one time I tried backing it up again and it would not let me, saying that there was not enough space to do the back-up. I don't quite know how that works, but after that, I just ignored my problem. Well, then my space was dwindling down close to zero. I deleted most of my apps, though it did not free up much at all because 11.4 GB of my 13.2 GB phone is from Photos/Videos.
My phone reached 0 bytes available in, I'm guessing, November of last year? To my surprise, I could still use some of the features on my phone. Internet, screenshotting (though I could no longer take pictures), and some of the apps (though they often would not load fully). This didn't last for long. One day, I wasn't able to open hardly any of my apps. Then it transitioned to my Internet closing out of itself every now-and-then. Well, currently (and I've been having these problems consistently for the past month or so), I can not open any apps. If I try to go to a website, it closes out of itself almost every single time. I never know if my texts go through because it never finishes the sending process (sometimes people say they get them, sometimes they don't). I cannot receive texts. I can't even try to delete my photos/videos because when I click "delete", it goes to my Home Screen (again, it closes out of itself) and when I check, the pictures/videos are still there. For the past month or so, the only thing my phone can do is call. Which, you know, defeats the purpose of an iPhone. Basically, I have gotten myself into quite a conundrum.
Is there a solution to my problem that does not involve restoring it to factory settings?Thank you for your reply! I just tried importing my pictures again. iTunes gave me the same message - that the storage was too full. I looked under summary, and I don't quite exactly know what usage numbers you are looking for, but it does say it is over capacity by 190.8 MB. However, when I plugged in my phone to the computer, it started to import pictures automatically into Dropbox. I just recently got Dropbox, so I did not have it the other times I tried to import. I managed to get the pictures onto my computer and, by some miracle, was able to delete a couple hundred from my phone. It also let me delete the long videos on my phone, which I've been trying to do for months. I went to my Storage and it now says I have 6.6 GB free (which was so amazing to see that I had to take a moment). I can take pictures now. I quickly updated a few apps and the space is still good. However, there are some apps that it still will not open (as in I open it up, then one second later it closes out). These seem to be the social media apps-- Twitter, Instagram, Facebook. Should I just delete them, then re-download? That will not mess anything up, correct? So far, Safari is working, which is a major relief.

Can you figure out what was the problem in this simple 3 liner code?
Hello, below is a class to demonstrate a problem I see that I can't understand. I create an instance of the enclosing
class at class level, another instance in static main method. Class below fails at run time with stack overflow exception. It's all fine if one of those two instantiation steps is removed, What is wrong can anyone any ideas?
public class App
// create instance of this class
App app = new App();
public static void main( String[] args )
// create instance of this class again.
App app2 = new App();
System.out.println( "Hello World!" );
}As soon as a new instance of 'App' is created, 'App app = new App();' is called, which calls 'App app = new App();' etc. Hence the stack overflow.
When you remove 'App app = new App();', obviously, the stack overflow does not occur. And when your remove 'App app2 = new App();' the 'App' class is never instantiated and therefore, the exception is also not thrown. -
Can't figure out this screen mode problem! Pic to illustrate!! THANKYOU FOR YOUR HELP
THIS IS THE TUT IM FOLLOWING.
THIS IS WHAT MINE LOOKS LIKE BEFORE I APPLY THE SCREEN MODE
THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE AFTER I APPLY SCREEN MODE
What is the problem????? THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP.You need to understand the meaning of the word Screen.
It has nothing to do with half tones or rasters.
It refers to additive (light) colour mixing like on your computer screen. So Red + Green = Yellow and so on. Look at your own screen with a strong magnifying glass to see how it works.
Like Monika says it works best in RGB mode. If you are working in CMYK you must use a rich black (preferably 100% of all 4 colours in this rare case).
Incidentally, an opacity mask might be a better way to go for buttons and stuff.
There too you should use 100% of all 4 colours in the mask when working in CMYK. -
Can't connect to Apple Airport Express wi-fi
Hi folks,
2nd gen iPT, OS is up to date. At my home, it connects to my Airport Express wi-fi network just fine. But at my parents home, it does not. It sees the network, asks for the password, I type it in, and it rejects it saying it cannot connect to the network. I set the network up myself, I know the password, I just can't figure out what the connection problem is. Any ideas? Any typical things that are overlooked? Any glitches that I haven't anticipated (like using one versus another security protocol on my parents' network)?
Thanks,
-- JoshIs it the same Airport Express that you're physically taking to your parents home and plugging it into their network, or do they have their own Airport Express which you're trying to connect to?
If it's a different Airport Express, I'd compare all the settings in the Airport Utility at your home with all the settings at your parents.
If it's the same Airport Express, maybe you've got some settings in there which are specific to your home network i.e. different IP addresses. Try setting it up for DHCP.
Can other wi-fi devices connect to it, or is it only the iPod touch that's having problems?
Incidentally, I take my Airport Express where-ever I go and frequently connect it to different networks without having to reconfigure it, so if this is what you're trying to do, its certainly possible. -
Can't figure out these anomalies. Driving me nuts.
The following code for the BouncingBalls assignment results in some anomalies that I can't figure out.
The main problem is that there SEEM TO BE different responses: the balls reverse direction at the right and bottom, but not top and left. In the code I have shown two different statements: one for dx, (which seems like it should work, but doesn't) and the one for dy, (which reverses direction properly, but the d? value is not the one that I want to change, only the direction modifier needs to change.)
The dx one is the one that I think should work, but the dy variation provides reversal. Since both variables are in the same formula, I can't figure out why one works, one doesn't.
The other anomaly is that Ball4 doesn't behave as the other three. What the hell's going on.....a tribute to Jim Bouton???
Any suggestions on where to start looking for the bugs would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Do this:
When the ball bounces on the top or bottom.
dy = -dy ;
When the ball bounces on the left or right.
dx = -dx ;
Also, you might want to put some math in to force the ball to be within the box when a bounce occurs, if you haven't already. Just translate x and y over a bit.
You have way too much garbage in your move method... all those extra variables are what confused you. -

Because of a problem, I uninstalled Firefox once, reinstalled it and it ran. I had a problem so I uninstalled/reinstalled it again. Now it will not run. I get an error message saying that firefox is running and you can only run one at a time. I have uninstalled multiple times and can't figure out what is running. The is only one Firefox installed and it is not open. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

Trying to get into the App Store to update some apss. It asks for my password but the problem is that it is showing ghosted an Apple ID I don't use. Can't figure out how to fix it.
You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.

I have a Mac 10.6.8. Just installed Airport Express. I can't see any base stations. I did a hard reset on the Airport Express, turned off all devices, turned them back on. I see plenty of Airport networks in the neighborhood. How can I tell if I have a Mac problem or an Airport Express problem? Airport Express blinks Amber.
Obviously, I'm still using ethernet to be able to reply to this.
Alright, use the same ethernet cable to plug directly into the airport express. This will FORCE the airport utility to now see it regardless of weak signals & interference. You can set it up that way.
BTW, what is the original intent on the express? -
Hello:
I am new to IPods. I have a Classic 160GB and I can't figure out how to load Music Videos to iTunes or the IPod. I have had no problem loading my CD's to iTunes and to the IPod, but no go on the Music Videos.
Please Help
maxsdadB-Rock:
Ok. Here's the results. I tried all the music videos I wanted to put onto the IPod and the results were:
I was able to get good results with 2 full length music videos and 2 video singles(only 2 videos on each disk). For a total of 4 videos.
I was able to encode 5 full length music videos, but the results were distorted (video and audio).
I was unable to copy 2 full length videos due to error failures. 1 was a "No Title Found" error, the other was a "NAVDAT" error.
I guess my next question is: Do you know of any other program(s) that I might try, to see if I can get good results with the videos that didn't work with Handbrake?
Thanks again for all your help.

I just got a fc7 yamaha expression pedal and can't figure out how to configure it with mainstage or logic. I'm using a Gio pedal.
Hi
You will need to map the "Expression Pedal" to the Waa pedal. There are several ways you could do it, here's one:
In Layout Mode, add a Pedal Screen control, and Assign it to the in-coming MIDI from the GiO.
In Edit mode, select the Screen Control, and click the "Map Parameter" button. While this is active click on the Wah pedal in the PedalBoard plugin. Turn off 'Map Parameter".
