Before I suggest you any troubleshooting steps, I would like to ask few questions. Like – in what manner you were trying to connect Airport Express with the Linksys/Cisco router E1200?
Basically, you can think of Airport Express as a wireless extension cord for replacing an Ethernet cable, a USB cable, and an audio speaker cable. So, it suppose to work wirelessly with the router. So, in this case you have to use the Linksys/ Cisco router E1200 as a Base Station, with the Apple AirPort as the repeater/secondary access point. (The protocol for this is called WDS. Apple's routers support it; the Linksys does as well.
Here are the steps to configure;
Configure your Linksys router (open a web browser to http://192.168.1.1):
Assign a wireless channel. You will have to set the same channel on the Airport Express.
Write down the MAC address for the wireless interface (under the Status tab).
Provide the security level which can match with the Apple Airport.
Configure your Airport Express (using Airport Utility):
Under Airport -> Wireless, set the Wireless Mode to "Participate in a WDS Network", and set the network name, security, password, and channel to match that on the E1200.
Now you'll have a new tab: under WDS, set the WDS Mode to "WDS remote” and the WDS Main to the MAC address you wrote down above. Also make sure to that "Allow wireless clients" is checked!
Under the Internet tab, set Connection Sharing to "Off (Bridge Mode)".
Click Update. Wait for the Airport Express to restart.
Check it:
Once the Airport Express is restarted, reconnect to your wireless network (if you've been disconnected). Make sure you can see both your main Linksys router (in a web browser) and the Airport Express (in Airport Utility). If you can only see one, it didn't work. Try disabling security on both.

I can not get website to work with ShockWave

I don't know where to post this, but I need some help with it.
Back in 1997 I was using Director, which I no longer have. At that time I created a website that contained some interactive pages where I had used Director to create content the required using Shockwave.
I now have a MBP running system 10.6.2. I tried to open the pages in Safari and I get a dialog box telling me:
"Some content on the page can’t be shown because its MIME type is unspecified."
I downloaded Shockwave and Flash from Adobe, I restated my computer and still get the same message. I am not sure if ShockWave works with 10.6.2 or not.
I am wanting to get the content of the pages so that I can use them on something else. If I could open the interactive pages I might be able to copy and past them off the webpages. Or if I could open the files with some other program then I could recover the content. Recovering the content is my goal, not running the interactive files online.
Anyone have a suggestion?

HI,
It's possible (more like probable) the software you used to create the site isn't compatible with the latest version of Flash. I'm pretty sure why you are getting this... "Some content on the page can’t be shown because its MIME type is unspecified."
Go to the Adobe Director support area here...

You can ask their customer service for suggestions so you can extract the data from your site.

Wired Ethernet + Airport Express could not get them to work together

I am a newbie to Mac. My daughter has a Macbook. No wireless internet access is allowed in her dorm room. Each room has an Ethernet port with a cable so she could plug it in her Macbook and access the Internet. I bought her an AirportExpress a few weeks ago. I set the Airport Express up to connect her printer so she could print wirelessly and stream iTunes to her stereo within her room. I could do both without problem, but if I turned on the Airport on Macbook, Safari could no longer access the Internet. If I turned off the Airport, then the Internet works fine. The school does not allow connecting the Airport Express to the Ethernet Lan port in her room (for security reason), so I could not configure the Airport Express as others would normally do by also plugging in the Ethernet cable.
How could I get the above work by being able to steaming music via Airport and still be able to access the Internet via the wired Ethernet cable. Thanks

ssbkk, Welcome to the discussion area!
By default this is not possible. However using information from Apple's "Mac OS: Connecting to the Internet and sharing files locally at the same time" it might be possible. Try these directions:
Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
Choose the Network preference pane.
Choose the Ethernet port since you use this to physically connect to the Internet.
Click the TCP/IP tab. This pane should already be set up as directed by her school.
Choose Network Port Configurations from the Show pop-up menu.
If the Ethernet port is not at the top of the list, drag it to the top.
Locate the AirPort you want to use for Printing.
If AirPort is not second in the port configurations list, drag it to the second position.
Choose AirPort from the Show pop-up menu.
Click the TCP/IP tab.
Choose Manually from the Configure pop-up menu.
Enter these settings:
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
IP address: 10.0.1.201.
Leave the router and other fields blank.
Click Apply Now.

How do I get Thunderbird to work with Apple iCloud?

I've tried everything and I can't get iCloud to work with Thunderbird.

The problem was the two-step verification process with iCloud. Basically, if you want to use Thunderbird and iCloud together you have to generate an app specific password when you log into the Apple ID website. Here's a link that has the instructions. Hopefully this will spare someone out there the aggravation I went through before figuring this out:)

HT1203 iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer - I tried to use the instructions to configure 2 different windows users sharing the same iTunes library. I could not get this to work per the instructions.

I tried to configure 2 windows users accounts using a single library per the instructions in HT1203. My iTunes library is on an external drive. I cannot get this to work. Any suggestions?

To give other users read-only access to your iTunes library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.
iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
There is a way to share the library without moving it to a secondary volume. If you really need to do that, ask for instructions.

Getting my MiniMax working with my Airport Extreme

I bought a 500GB MiniMax and an Airport Extreme (new style 802.11n) at the weekend. I've got the Airport Extreme working fine and am trying to use the MiniMax as a drive attached to the Airport Extreme via USB2.0. I want to attach to the MiniMax wirelessly via the Airport.
Unfortunately I can't see the MiniMax hard drive when it is attached in this fashion.
If I attach the MiniMax to my MacBook Pro running OSX 10.4.8 using USB2.0 then I can see it fine and it mounts OK. Also, if I attach a USB memory stick to the Airport Extreme then my MacBook Pro can also see and use it.
Bizarrely, if I have the USB memory stick attached to the MiniMax and the MiniMax connected over USB2.0 to the Airport Extreme then my MacBook Pro can see and use the memory stick wirelessly but I still cannot locate the MiniMax as a hard drive.
Firstly, I approached Iomega with the problem, to which their initial response was "not our problem, we can't help you". Hmmm.
Then I went to Apple who were most helpful, we re-formatted the drives and checked everything. The Apple support guy then sends me a document (below) discussing the requirements to attach a hard drive to the Airport Extreme, he thinks the problem may be that the MiniMax doesn't have a block size of 512 bytes (which, apparently, is a pre-requisite for it to function). I can't find any reference to "block size" in any of the MiniMax's documentation ... does anybody know the block size for this device?
I'm guessing that the MiniMax does have a 512 byte block size as I've seen reports from other users on here stating that they've got theirs working (but then, of course, they could be using the older style Airport Extreme instead of the new 802.11n version).
Anybody got any ideas?
Thanks!

AirPort Extreme (802.11n): USB storage device supported formats and protocols
You can connect USB-based storage devices to an AirPort Extreme (802.11n). Learn which formats and protocols are supported.
The AirPort Extreme (802.11n) supports USB storage devices that have a block size of 512 bytes, and are formatted as Mac OS Extended (HFS-plus), FAT16, or FAT32. Not all USB storage devices use a block size of 512 bytes.
The AirPort Extreme (802.11n) shares storage devices based on the format used to initialize the storage device. For example, if HFS-plus formatting was used, AFP and SMB/CIFS protocols are used to share the device on the network. If FAT16 or FAT32 was used, SMB/CIFS protocols are used.
The AirPort Extreme (802.11n) works with disks that have a single partition and are not RAID volumes (no more than one volume per physical disk).
Note: Use AirPort Disk Utility to discover and mount AirPort Extreme-based volumes over the network.

Damian,
just a (not very helpful) note to say that I am having exactly the same trouble, with exactly the same kit which looks very nice stacked together but doesn't actually work. Bizarrely I have a different USB only hard drive plugged into the USB ports on the back of the Minimax which the AE sees but it still doesn't see the Minimax.
I am sure it worked briefly once but I had to change some settings on the AE and it then vanished never to return - I am now thinking that my mind was playing tricks on me and that that never happened.
I have rebooted kit in every conceivable order but still no luck, the only other observation I would make is that when I plug the Minimax and the other USB only drive into my iMac that the USB only drive mounts straight away whilst the Minimax takes quite a while to mount.... I wonder if the AE gets bored waiting for the Minimax to come to life - who knows its all black magic to me

Get Airtunes to work with Apple TV and Mountain Lion

Hi there,
I know there are tons of people complaining that the new Airplay Mirroring doesn't work with their later than mid 2011 Mac running Mountain Lion. My complaint is I just want to be able to use my apple TV with my Itunes library. After my upgrade my apple TV2 can't find my Itunes library. I don't care about the mirroring feature, that's why I bought an AppleTV, but without access to the library I can't play anything. Is there any way to get just Airtunes to work? Are there any setup tricks I could do to make it work? On the ipad and the iphone I see the option to pair my devices with a 4 digit code in itunes but the apple TV only works through my Apple ID. this seems to make my ipad and iphone not work.
I have a 2010 iMac and a AppleTV2. I just want to be able to browse my library on my itunes. Sometimes it will work for short period of time after several resets on both machines but it never lasts.
Some one please help!

1. Insure home sharing is turned on both apple tv & the iPad - same account
2. When playing video or audio look for the little square usually lower left corner press it and select
Apple tv!
3. For mirroring double press home button (or multi finger slide up) scroll
All the way to the left & turn on AirPlay and choose mirroring!
