Cube doesn't see either station.

Hi there,
I was checking my Cube(10.3.9)the other day to make sure the internet was working as I have it in my guest room for peple to use.The network that came up was 'default'.It worked fine but when I tried to log onto the network I created it gave me the 'error joining network'.
Also the Airport Admin utility didn't see either Extreme or Express.When I typed in the password in Internet Connect it kept adding a dot to the password.
Also,the internet on my iBook and iMac,both connected to my network,started being really slow....pages loading slowly etc.Then I noticed that only one of the base stations would show up in Admin Utility on the iBook.
Any thoughts on the Cube?Would that affect my other network?
Thanks for any help.......

Yes it did.....but wouldn't let me join no matter how I tried.
What type of encryption are you using? Your cube will not be able to join a WPA2 encrypted network. Did you try disabling encryption?
...but the Airports not showing up in the utility was stranger.
That's a different issue. I wouldn't worry about that until at least you get the cube to join the network. If the cube joins the network then you will have Internet access and know that the cube works.

Airport Utility doesn't see either AXpress.

Tried to add a newer AX (A321-n type). Utility does not see either.
1084 worked well before. Need to start from scratch.
Set up 321 with ethernet cable but when cable was disconnected Utility does not see 321.

You should reset the AirPort Express (AX) back to factory default settings as follows:
Power down the AX
Hold in the reset button and while you continue to hold it in, plug the AX back in to power
Keep holding the reset button until the amber light blinks quickly
Hold another second or two and then release the reset button
It will usually help AirPort Utility to "see" the AX if you temporarily connect an ethernet cable from your computer to the AX. When you have it configured and updated, you can disconnect the ethernet cable.

ITunes doesn't see iPods

starting last nite my iTunes doesn't see either iPod that always appeared when plugged in. I changed my connecting wire without any better results.

Bentley, try downloading and re-installing iTunes. I had a similar problem on my Macbook - I could see my iPod in the Finder but iTunes couldn't see it. I re-installed iTunes and voila, it was there.

No laughing... I have a Canon ZR 300 camcorder. I can not see it when connected via firewire in system profile and iMovie doesn't see it either. Any suggestions?

I have an old Canon ZR 300 camcorder that I'm trying to connect to my 17" MBP via 9 pin firewire (its a 4 pin to 9 pin cable as the MBP doesn't have a 4 pin firewire - figured it was backwards compatible). Anyhow, iMovie 09 doesn't see the camcorder. I checked under System Profile and then under Firewire and it doesn't see it either. In fact I get some red letters about not seeing firewire devices. I'm running Lion. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Should using mixed wifi and ethernet clients on a timecapsule work? if so is it a feature I can use out of the box so to speak?
Thanks
No a TC cannot do what you want.. it is now in dumb stupid wireless join mode.. and it turns off the ethernet ports.. in case you want to use the TC as a wireless bridge to multiple clients which is plainly wrong.. (only airport express is allowed to do this since it has only one ethernet port).
Welcome to Apple. (The plainly wrong above is a figment of Apple imagination.. of strict network protocols.. but unhelpful for a home device. maybe also to encourage sales of expresses.)

I changed my apple ID, now iCloud doesn't see my new ID, but won't accept my old password either.

I changed my apple ID, now iCloud doesn't see my new ID, but won't accept my old password either.

I tried that now. I was forced to "delete" everything on the cloud, and now I tried signing in exactly as you described, about 45 mins ago, and I'm still waiting for it to actually sign in.

AirPort Utility 6.3.2 doesn't see older AirPort Base Station

I have an old AirPort Base Station (2001 model, Dual Ethernet, "Snow", actually not "Graphite", though apparently that's the correct category here), which was previously configured with my MacBook Pro running MAC OS X 10.6.8. I've just started it up, with the DSL modem connected to it, and I'm able to connect to it (and get Internet) from my new MacBook Pro running 10.9.4 just fine. However, the latest AirPort Utility v.6.3.2 doesn't see it, says "No configured AirPort base stations have been found. AirPort Utility will continue searching." – although its window does show a green button next to the word Internet, showing (I assume) that there's an Internet connection. Does anybody know how to configure an old APBS like this from 10.9.4? AirPort Utility v.5.6.1 apparently can't be used with 10.9; is there a version that can, and will see this older AirPort Base Station?

Does anybody know how to configure an old APBS like this from 10.9.4?
Not in any way that Apple would support, or that we could discuss on this forum.
Not recommending that you try a solution from the Internet using an "unknown" author to "override" security settings on your Mac, but that would be the only way to possibly get AirPort Utility 5.6.1 to run on 10.9.4.

Airport Utility doesn't see functioning Airport Extreme Base Station

I have an Extreme (n) Base Station which serves as a WDS main with one relay Express and one remote Express. All three are functioning properly. Now I want to add a second remote Express paired with the main Extreme. However, Airport Utility doesn't see the Extreme, even when hardwired. So I have no way to add in the Apple ID of the new remote.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this? Is it necessary to restore default settings on the Extreme and reconfigure EVERYTHING?
Thanks.

Not yet. Hoping there is some other approach, since if I reset it and then it loses the connection before configuration is complete, I lose the functions that are working now.

My mac doesn't see my broadcast dv camera either in final cut or imovie

Trying to take video we shot on professional panasonic camera and load it on the mac using imovie or final cut express. Imovie acts like it's importing but the file is empty (no media attached). Tried to move the files to drive but the macbook pro doesn't see the camera in the finder (using firewire or usb). HELP!
Final cut express doesn't show the camera at all as a source.

Lara,
Without specific details we can't even begin to help you.
What make/model camera shot the video? Are you trying to use the same camera to capture the video with iMovie or Final Cut Express?
Exactly what codec/settings did you use for shooting the video? DV? HDV? AVCHD? 1920x1080i60? 1280x720p30? Something else?
Have you ever captured video from this camera before? With this Mac before?
If you are using a different camera for capturing purposes, what make/model is it?
How are you connecting the camera to your Mac? USB? FireWire?
Cameras generally do not show up in the Finder; but if you look in System Profiler you should see it listed under Hardware > USB or > Firewire depending on how it is connected to your Mac.
What versions of OS X, iMovie and Final Cut Express are you using?
In Final Cut Express, what Easy Setup are you using?

Airport Utility 5.6.1 doesn't see my Airport Extreme

I'm good with the Ethernet connection for the internet, but Airport doesn't see my Airport Extreme. It's connected to my IMac 10.6.8. Have tried a reset with ballpoint pen, but nothing happens. This all went crashing down the other evening with I suddenly had lost Internet on my MacBook Pro. This ***** so bad. Would it do me any good to call Apple support?

OS X 10.6.8 is Snow Leopard for which you need AirPort Utility 5.6.1.
There are no special techniques to download it. Just click on the link, then click the blue Download button, which will download and eventually deposit AirPort Utility 5.6.1 in your Downloads folder.
It looks like this:
Double-click it to extract the package installer. It looks like this:
Double-click that to open the installer:
Click Continue and follow the prompts, which will either install it in your Utilities folder or tell you a reason it cannot.
After you perform the "hard reset" and the Extreme's LED is blinking slowly, go to your Wi-Fi menu and see if you find a network called "Apple Network nnnnnn". Select it, then launch AirPort Utility.
The reason that everything is greyed out is that AirPort Utility cannot find any base stations to configure. If after doing all the above it still cannot, perform another "hard reset". If that does not work, perform a "factory defaults reset" as I explained above.
What happened at the Apple Store? Other than having a nice ballpoint pen with an Apple logo on it, they are not going to do anything more than you can do.
If you did not bring it there yet, bring your MacBook Pro along with you so that you can see for yourself how it ought to work.

I click on the Mozilla icon and it will not load. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall but that doesn't work either

I have tried to open Firefox, but it just sits there and doesn't load. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall but that works for a few hours and then it goes back to not loading. I don't know what else to do to get it too load.

Right-click on your Windows Taskbar and select Start Task Manager. Look in Task Manager for processes running that are Firefox-related, such as Firefox.exe or plugin-container.exe. If you see either of those, right-click each of them and select "End process". Then try again to start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. 
*If Firefox will start in Safe Mode, select the option you are presented with to disable your add-ons and plug-ins and restart Firefox normally. You likely have a plug-in, add-on, or a combination of two or more that is causing the problem. Because Firefox allows users to customize endlessly, sometimes there can be conflicts between customized items. From the Firefox menu bar, go to Tools -> Add-ons then re-enable them one by one, restarting Firefox after each and testing after each one to see which one or combination of two or more is causing the problem. 
*If Firefox will not start in Safe Mode, make sure you again check Task Manager and end any running instances, then uninstall Firefox and download a fresh copy from mozilla.org/firefox using another browser temporarily. Re-install Firefox (see: [[Installing Firefox on Windows]] for more help ) and try running Firefox again.
Please report back your progress.

PSE 12 for Mac doesn't see my scanner

PSE12 for Mac refused to work with my scanner. In preferences I checked "Additional Plug-Ins Folder" and selected the Optional Plug-Ins Folder which contains the TWAIN.plugin. I restarted the PSE and the File> Import... command remains dimmed out. Tried resstarting the iMac and PSE still doesn't see the scanner. PSE 11 used to recognize the scanner right away. I hope this isn't a permanent change in PSE 12!
Thanks for any help!
OS X 10.8.5
Canon 8800F Scanner
TWAIN.plugin v12.0.4x001

Hi Barbara - I reinstalled PSE 11 on my iMac and verified that it still works with the Canon 8800F scanner. I also installed PSE 12 on my Macbook Air, moved the Twain plug into the right spot, and found that it doesn't see the scanner either. Preview on the Macbook does see the scanner OK so it's not a connection problem there either.
I noticed that the Twain plugins in PSE 11 and 12 are the same version but different sizes. The get info windows for the two versions of PSE on the iMac (Kahawalu) and the PSE 12 on the Airbook (Niumalu) are below. Would you be able to let me know the PSE 12 Twain file version and file size that is working with your Canon scanner? It might help narrow this thing down.
Thanks again for your assistance! William

Migration Assistant problem? : New iMac's iTunes doesn't see the catalog or playlist of my old Mac's songs on an external drive

So I just migrated from a 10.7.5 iMac 27" from 2009 to 10.9.4 on a 2013 27" iMac with Fusion Drive.
I don't use Time Machine. There are no backups involved here.
Used Ethernet. Only took 20 hours... (BTW, it stayed on "less than 1 minute left" for like 12 hours but luckily I was away and just left it going in hopes it would work... and it did!)
Anyway, back on my OLD iMac, I kept all of my songs on an external drive because my internal drive was too small. So iTunes looked at that drive for the music it was playing. I turned that drive off, even disconnected it, during the migration process because I thought it was confusing it during the first attempt which took 10 hours and nothing happened.
So now it worked, finally. On my new iMac, running Mavericks, I now have two user accounts... the one that was set up when I started the computer the first time, and the new one that transferred over via Migration Assistant. No problem. I can live with that. The only thing is, I would still think the old XML files and library stuff would migrate over... but iTunes doesn't see it. When I open up iTunes, in *either* account, iTunes behaves as if it's brand new. Repeat: the old and new account on the new iMac, both, do not see an old iTunes library which IS on the old iMac. Only the music is on the external drive from what I understand.
I've done this before so I know it's possible. I remember upgrading a long time ago and got iTunes to see my old library... even though some of the music was no longer there. It just puts "!" marks wherever there is no link. I was hoping that that's what I would find when I launched iTunes, but no luck. Even connecting the old hard drive to the new Mac (via USB) doesn't make iTunes all of a sudden "see" the old library. That data doesn't seem to be there. It didn't transfer over. Did it not transfer over because the songs weren't on the internal volume? Should I have left my external hard drive on?
So.... now that I've spent almost 3 days total trying to get this to work, and everything is running... I don't want to have to start over in order to get iTunes to work. Is there a way I can just drag over some XML files or something from the old computer? I don't want to lose all of the ratings and personal notes and everything.
I should add also that I have like only four songs I've ever actually bought through iTunes. I'm still a bit old fashioned and buy CDs and rip them to Apple Lossless. So I hope it's not an authorization / reauthorization issue because I have like 1400 albums ripped.
Thanks in advance for any help.
--Jeff

iTunes does not use the .xml it uses the .itl
If you are sure your old library file migrated across (does the file size and modification dates suggest it has?) start iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and guide it to the .itl file to get it to use that one.

Upgraded to 10.5.8 and now can't see either of my networked printers

Hello all, I just upgraded my G5 dual 2.5 to 10.5.8. I have two printers that are both connected to separate Airport Extremes. My G5 ethernet port is connected to a linksys WET11 wireless ethernet bridge, which is in turn connected to the wi-fi network of the main airport. Here is my problem. I can surf the web just fine, so clearly my G5 is seeing the Airport. However ever since upgrading to 10.5.8 I can't add either of my networked printers in the printer setup. It just doesn't see any printers. I've reset the printing in the OS (control clicking on the print prefs and resetting followed by reboot) I've rebooted both the printer and the airport separately and I've double checked that the printer is set as a shared printer in the airport admin software. My laptop (an ibook g4) also running 10.5.8, has no problem seeing both networked printers and printing to them. I'm flummoxed as to why my tower suddenly can't. (It could see both with the exact same setup running 10.4.11) Any ideas? Your help is greatly appreciated, since this is very frustrating! thanks,
-Andrew

Your network setup is a little complicated. Can you explain it a little better and confirm that there's only one DHCP server in it - all devices get IP addresses from one of the Airport Extremes, for example?
It sounds like maybe you have two or more separated subnets.

Thunderbolt to Firewire doesn't see External HardDrive

Greetings...
I was setting up my Mom's new MacBookAir, and I had to aquire a Thunderbolt Adapter (to Firewire 800). She used an External drive for her Time Machine backup previously. It is a Maxtor OneTouch drive, but it uses the older Firewire ports. Fortunately, the Firewire 800 cable I bought (by Rocketfish) also came with an Adaptor to connect the FW 800 cable to the FW 400 ports on the Maxtor drive. But, the drive won't show up on her Desktop (nor does Time Machine see it when trying to use Migration Asst to transfer her backup). I also pulled up the Disk Utility (as a test), but it didn't see the External drive either (?).
Anyone out there have an idea as to why the MacBookAir (running Maverick) doesn't see the External Maxtor drive? I appreciate any input…Chip Henley

I thought that the cable might have been bad, so I used the USB cable that went with my Iomega HD to test this idea. It didn't work either.
Ironically, after I posted my previous message, lo and behold, the SimpleDrive showed up when I booted my PowerBook. I used that opportunity to reformat the HD for MacOSX extended (journaled), and it has thus far appeared twice after shutting down and rebooting. So, I'm not quite sure what the problem was, or still may be. But I'll keep the forum notified of progress or setbacks, so my learnings can be used by others.

Vista: 1.3 Downloader Doesn't See Sony a700 .ARW's; Odd Mouse Behavior

On my Vista system,the LR 1.3 downloader (now "Adobe Photodownloader 3.0 Component") doesn't see Sony a700 .ARW's when I choose Camera Or Card Reader as the source. I don't know about a100 .ARW's. The downloader for 1.2 didn't recognize either. I can still import them in place once I have them downloaded using the Vista Photo Gallery.
A new problem is that when I scroll through a group of images using the mouse scroll wheel the library loupe preview updates as before but the thumbnail doesn't shift until the histogram appears. The left and right arrows work properly.
The device manager shows the mouse (a Gateway branded optical mouse) as a "HID-compliant mouse". No updates to the mouse appear to be available.

If I use the "Choose Files" and "Copy To A New Location" options I can import directly into LR. I prefer to just keep using the Photo Gallery downloader and then import in place until the LR downloader is fully compatible. The annoyance for me is that there is now a lag in changing the active photo on the film strip in Library Loupe view when using the scroll wheel.

Cube doesn't see either station.
