  • Airport password doesn't work, how do I change it?

    I locked my airport after using it for ages in an unlocked format.  Now I am not able to get into it for the purpose of reconfirguring it.  The password I used to secure the lock doesn't work.  Is there any way to change a password when you don't know what original password was entered?

    You can temporarily disable wireless encryption by performing a "soft" reset on your AirPort Base Station. Once connected, you can use the AirPort Utility to change the password.

  • Tried to put OS Mavericks on my mac, but not enough memory. Seem to be stuck and can't get back to my original set up. Any ideas how I get out of this. Thanks.

    I tied to install OS Mavericks onto my mac and now find there is not enough memory. Any idea how I get back to my original set up. Bit of a novice, so any advice welcome. Thanks.

    Not sure what you mean as it shouldn't have installed at all if it didn't meet the system requirements.
    But here are some step by step instructions to revert.

  • Flash player doesn't work -  How to get rid of Flashruntime pop-ups

    I have 2 problems:
    1.
    My Flashplayer stopped working months ago, when using Internet Explorer. It does Work when using Firefox.
    I prefer using Internet Explorer.
    Now I have uninstalled Flashplayer and installed Again - same situation.
    I have also tried to install Adobe Air with no positive result.
    2.
    For some time I have had the problem of Flashruntime pop-ups continously, no matter which website I opened. I could not click it away - or admit.
    By advice from Microsoft I have reinstalled Internet Explorer. Now the Flashruntime still comes up when I open certain websites but not quite as heavy as before.
    I have blocked pop-ups. The Flashruntime does not appear on the list of add-on programs where you have the possibility of deactivating.
    Please see Picture of the pop-up (in Danish text) above.
    I hope you can suggest solutions for me
    Best regards

  • IPad keyboard dock doesn't work - how to get repair?

    After a couple of days it just stopped working. It seems to dock still, but none of the keys work. Tried several times, but every key is completely unresponsive. I couldn't find a way online to report the problem (automated help asks for HW serial number, but the keyboard docks don't seem to have those). Do I bring the dock back to the store where I bought it to arrange for repair?

    I'm on my second keyboard, as the connector tab in the keyboard is weak, and gives up the ghost very quickly. Went to Apple Store for replacement, and it was free. You are right there is no serial number on the keyboards, so they just take the old one and give you a new one.
    None of them will last very long until they change the design of the keyboard dock, and add a landscape mode connector to the side of the iPad. Putting it in the stand in the portrait mode puts too much leverage/stress on the connector tab in the keyboard itself, so it fails . . .

  • Just upgraded to 6.1 but my iTunes password doesn't work for my restore

    Just backed up my iPhone4 in iTunes, transferred purchased items to my iTunes library, and then updated the IOS to 6.1.  Now iTunes is giving me the option to restore from my backup, but it wants a password, and my iTunes password doesn't work!  I was never asked for a new password for by backup so I'm very surprised my iTunes password doesn't work.  I just logged into this forum with my iTunes password so I know it is still active.  Anyone have any ideas of what I should do next?  Thanks!

    I was wrong --- turns out I did create a password long ago for my first backup, different than my iTunes password, and fortunately I was able to remember it.  The restore worked fine once I gave it the password that it wanted. 

  • How do I get out of this "Restore-loop"?

    I recently tried to restore my iPod touch 2g to it's original settings by deleting everything. But I hit the restore button on the iPod itself instead of doing it through iTunes. Now it's in a "restore-loop" so to speak and won't turn on.  I can  put it into DFU mode but that doesn't change anything. It just goes back to the loop of turning on after that whenever i press a button. The main problem is I can't connect it to iTunes. It's not recognized by iTunes or my computer. What can I do to get out of this loop? Is there anything I can do myself or do I need to take it to an Apple store? If anyone has had the same problem or knows how to deal with this, I'd appreciate getting some suggestions as to how I can fix my iPod.

  • I am trying to sign in to attend a session and it says 'Invalid user or password. Please try again.' I have reset my password and it still doesn't work. I created a new AdobeID and it still doesn't work. I need to attend this training. How can I get in?

    Sorry to hear about this problem. What site are you trying to log in on? Is it a Mozilla site? Usually you don't need to register or sign in to a Mozilla site to use Firefox. Usually you can just go straight to where you want to go.

  • My callout toolbar stopped working abruptly.  Restarted computer.  Still doesn't work - how do I get the tool back?

    My callout toolbar stopped working abruptly.  Restarted computer.  Still doesn't work - how do I get the tool back?

    The tool is called a “callout” note.  It places a text box with a leader.  It’s been working just fine until suddenly it stopped working and I get an error message saying “desired operation cannot be performed on this object”.  It doesn’t matter where I try to place the callout.  It simply stopped working.  I have tried restarting Acrobat.  I have restarted my computer.  I have used multiple files to ensure the issue isn’t with a corrupted file.  Nothing works.  The tool simply stopped working.

  • Does anyone else have two Apple IDs? I can't get rid of one of them. It's associated with my iCloud account and I can't fix it. The password doesn't work.

    So, apparently I have two Apple IDs associated with my iPhone. One is an old aol address that got hacked and was shut down. Even aol doesn't recognize the email address anymore, and the password doesn't work. It's associated with my iCloud account, so now I can't access that account. My other Apple ID is with everything associated with my iPhone and everything works just fine. But now I can't get to my iCloud stuff. Has this ever happened to anyone else. The guy at the Apple store says he's never heard of it.

    Does the alert refer to "Local Items?"

  • I have an iPhone and when I got it, I had a Toshiba laptop.  Now I have a MacBook Pro, but when I try to wi-fi sync my iphone and new computer, it doesn't work because on my iphone it is still trying to sync with my old computer.  How I can fix this?

    Move the content from the old computer to the new computer.
    Sync the iPhone via cable to the new computer and enable Wi-Fi syncing.
    It should now be possible to sync via Wi-Fi to the new computer.

    If the game doesn't work (and you've tried deleting it and re-downloading it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app and you've also tried contacting the app's developer) then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    Not sure which driver you mean when you say "the driver in the Mac's list". Apple does not provide a driver for this device, so if you mean one of the default printers that are included with 10.6, like the Generic Postscript or Generic PCL, then these will only work if the optional PS or PCL print kits were installed in the machine. Given your inability to print then it would seem that you have neither kit installed. So this would require you to install the Canon UFR2 driver, which you can obtain via this link.
    With the UFR2 driver installed, you add the printer using IP > LPD. Enter the IP address of the iRC2380, leave the Queue name blank and change the Name to iRC2380. Leave the Location field blank and in the Print Using menu, browse to the "Canon iR C2380/2550 UFR II (UK)". Click OK and then Add to complete the queue creation. You should now be able to print. Please reply if it does not work.
