Can't get TC to work - is it the hardware or the user??

Hi - Any thoughts to help me out would be appreciated! I got a TC last week and tried 4-5 times to set it up to replace my Airport base station. I get all the way through set up before it gives me one crucial piece of information. That there is no internet connectivity. I took the WAN cable out and plugged it back into the old airport and voila, it was fine. The different approaches I've taken to set it up have included having the old system plugged in and unplugged. I've tried to 'assume' my previous network and settings and also tried to create a new wireless network. I was thinking of trying to run a cable from the airport to the TC but haven't yet because that seems kind of silly, though from what I see on here might be the only way to keep my XBOX online. Thoughts?

Alo,
Exact same things happened to me last week with my new TC 500GB. I only have patient for a day so I returned it back to the Apple store. However, 3 days later, I went to Apple Store got a TC 1T instead. Now it works like a charm. So, I suggest you exchange yours. BTW, people @ the Apple store never blinked when I asked for return/refund the 1st time.
Good luck!

HT201335 I have a MacBook Air that was bought April 5, 2011. It seems it should be supported for Airplay mirroring but I can't get it to work and I do not have the icon on my bar. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple community.
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.

I updated my OS from 10.6.4., to 10.8.2 I want to buy iDVD and I Movie, but bought iPhoto and can't get it to work yet. Hesistant to buy the others without now having the original applications on my laptop. Do I need to buy the older versions first?

I updated my OS from 10.6.4., to 10.8.2. I want to buy iDVD and iMovie, but I bought iPhoto and can't get it to work yet. I'm hesitant to buy the others without now having the original applications on my laptop. Do I need to buy the older versions first? They are probably on my Snow Leopard install disc, but I am now running Mt Lion that I bought, and downloaded a few days ago...so I don't want to insert the old OS disc, thinking it might want to reinstall the old OS... Thanks,

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

HT2801 Apple Store said that the USB SuperDrive would work with my iMac that already has an internal optical drive to be used as a secondary drive, but I can't get it to work when I plug it in the usb port.

Apple store said the USB SuperDrive would work as a secondary drive with my iMac.
After plugging into my USB port, I find it doesn't work. Has anybody else tried this.

Which USB Superdrive are you referring to? If this is the one:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD564ZM/A/apple-usb-superdrive
it states it works with Macbook Air, Mini, or MBP with Retina display. If they told you differently, take it back for a full refund and show them their own website.

Hi mwatts18,
As a preliminary troubleshooting step, you should reference the information in the following article:
OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3276
I would especially suggest that you delete the account and re-add it, making sure that you are entering the correct password when you add the account. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

Can't get ringtones to work!

I really don't want a ringtone on my iphone but I tried to use the feature and simply can't get it to work. When I click on the bell in my library (already have purchased songs) I get asked for my password. I enter my password and then it asks again and again and again....
Now I can buy songs via itunes without this problem. I saw some people with the same issues however I didn't see any responses. Anyone come up w/ anything?

Well, I found another thread that said to reset your warnings in your account, but don't do that. I was able to sign in before, but now I get the same thing you are getting, sign in over and over. itunes 7.6 is obviously very buggy and needs a fix.

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.

If it's showing the red disabled screen due to incorrect passcodes then you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad via your computer's iTunes and restore/resync your content to it

Hi,
Is there an iPhone involved ?
If not, what happens if you remove the Apple ID on the iPad and then set it in Airplane Mode (allow a couple of minutes at this point) followed by re-adding the Apple ID ?
What, if any error messages are appearing on the Mac when you try to launch the App or Login to the iMessages server ?
Is the Apple ID linked to an iCloud account ?

Can't get Apache to work using WAMP or XAMPP

My system:
iMAC
Mac OS X: Version 10.5.6
Processor: 2.16 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
I have over 75 Gigs available on my Mac HD and nearly 40 Gigs left on my external HD used for Time Machine
Hello! I cannot get Apache to start after loading up WAMP (I also tried using XAMPP, but with the same result). This is driving me crazy. I am starting to build my first Joomla site and I have Joomla succesfully loaded onto my server site, but because of the Apache issue, I can't load Joomla onto my local server.
This is what is going on:
have successfully loaded MAMP and MAMPro. This is a fresh reload as of today. When I go to start the MAMP, I get the following message with regards to Apache:
(28)No space left on device: mod_rewrite: could not create rewriteloglock

I found this page on the web:
http://www.ehow.com/how4397601error-n ... evice.html
I got brave and went into the root using terminal.app. After following the instructions on that page as best I could, there did seem to be a lot of semapores (maybe 50+), but how to delete them was unclear to me on that page. I tried to follow Step 2 by copying this line and pasting it into the terminal prompt:
ipcs -s # grep apache # perl -e ‘while () { @a=split(/\s+/); print `ipcrm sem $a[1]`}’
but it was pretty unclear if I was doing it correctly and there seemed to be no real result. I got too nervous working in terminal to try to continue the instructions on how to delete them, so I got out of terminal and decided to see if there was anything else that might help.
After being in there, I tried to run Apache from MAMP, and, once again, I got the same error. I then found this site:
http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/Apache/U ... -Mac-OS-X/
I did type in "localhost" in the browser, and it DID show apache running with the confirmation window looking exactly as in the article. I then follow the instructions back to terminal.app and did the following command:
sudo pico http.conf
just as in the article, I found these four lines shown exactly like this:
#LoadModule php4_module
#AddModule mod_php4.c
#AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
#AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
however, there were so many warnings about making and changes and such that I decided NOT to eliminate the # sign as the article recommended and just got out of terminal.
The thing is this. Under MAMP, everything seems to be running EXCEPT Apache. However, when I type "localhost" in the command line of my foxfire browser, Apache seems to be running fine.
On another forum, where I have posted exactly as above, the response was:
I cannot reproduce this behaviour even though i have the same osx version and hardware configuration. But I found this site, it may help you to solve the problem:
http://carlosrivero.com/fix-apache---no-space-left-on-device-couldnt-create-acce pt-lock
The script you've used is not correct, the # symbols have to be replaced with pipes | to execute the commands one after another. You should execute this as admin using "sudo" followed by the commands. You also have to replace "apache" with the user name under which apache is currently running. For MAMP Pro that is either "www" or your user name:
This will list all active semaphores of the user "www"
Code: Select all
sudo ipcs -s | grep www
This one should remove them (at least it one runs without any errors)
I tried this but I'm afraid that I am still having the exact same problem. In fact, I unloaded MAMP and then tried XAMPP, which also didn't work. I tried to follow the directions above, but I'm so unfamiliar with how to do terminal in Mac, that I'm really not sure that I'm doing things correctly, or that I'm even addressing the problem. I have Joomla uploaded and ready to go on my server site (godaddy.com), but I really wanted to use my localhost to build the site offline.
I've tried uploading joomla to MAMP as it exists, but when I go back to my browser with http://localhost/
I still just get the apache confirmation page - no Joomla. Maybe part of the problem is that I'm still not completely clear on how to execute the instructions as above had them in terminal. I don't get what they meant by code: SELECT ALL.
I don't know what they mean when they say, "You should execute this as admin using "sudo" followed by the commands. You also have to replace "apache" with the user name under which apache is currently running. For MAMP Pro that is either "www" or your user name:"
how do I know what the username is for apache? How do I know what my username is? I know that these are basic questions, but I have never had to do this before and I don't know where to find the answers. I simply copied and pasted into terminal EXACTLY what it was posted. It really didn't seem to do anything.
Oh, and right now, as I write this, if I click on
Open start page
from MAMP, a browser window opens with the following:
Failed to Connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:8888.
Though the site seems valid, the browser was unable to establish a connection.
* Could the site be temporarily unavailable? Try again later.
* Are you unable to browse other sites? Check the computer's network connection.
* Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy? Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.
So, I'm at a loss of what to do next. I can work on joomla through godaddy, but I would prefer to work on my localhost. I am very discouraged that I am hung up at such as basic level and can't get started. I do have Mac ProCare, but the Mac store is quite a ways away, and I'm not sure how they could help solve this problem.
Please lead me through a solution to this.

Ok, first thing, why are you doing anything with WAMP or XAMPP when you're running a Mac? MAMP should be what you want unless you're not explaining part of what you are trying to do.
2nd thing, I haven't used MAMP in a while, but there are two possibilities for not seeing what you want to see once you have MAMP turned on. One possibility is that you already have "Web Sharing" turned on in your Sharing Preference Pane. If that is the case, port 80 will already be taken and you'll be seeing the default Apache install (files are stored at /Library/WebServer/Documents/). This would push MAMP to either not turn on it's web serving capabilities, or to push it to another port. The other possibility is that MAMP defaults to another port anyway. So instead of localhost, you might have to type in localhost:8080 or something similar. I believe the control panel that gets installed can take you to the currently MAMP-served page, and it can also help you change which port your serving on.
80 is the default port for web serving and the ONLY port that will let you get straight to the server without having to type in webaddress.com:port# instead of just webaddress.com.

I bought an IR receiver and an Apple Remote, and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong?

I bought an IR receiver and an Apple Remote, and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong? The receiver is a Lenovo eHome OVU430006/01 USB IR Receiver.

Hello,
You would need to pair the Apple Remote with the receiver. So I would use the generic Mac/PC receiver and follow these instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1619
If that doesn't work then check in System Profiler to see if the IR receiver has been recognized by the PowerBook's hardware. You may require the install of drivers for this device to be recognized.
Best of luck

Try turning the email account off and then turn it on again. Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>select your gmail account>Off. Go to the mail app and then come back to the account in the settings and turn it on again.
If you can't find any other way for the iPad to accept the password, delete the email account and then add it back onto the iPad.

I have a Mac Mini and I can't get it to work with my Ricoh Aficio MP 161. Any ideas?

The latest Apple driver support begins with the MP 171.
Here is Ricoh's official driver download page specifically for the Afico MP 161. Note that new drivers for this device were released on Aug 2, and include Lion and Mountain Lion.
Hopefully, this will solve your device issues.
