Even more bizarre WDS problems
I am setting up a home WDS network with 3 bases, one AEBSn and two expresses. I have all three in the same room. Last night, they were all working. This morning, Airport Utility cannot find one of the expresses. iStumbler shows all three bases with signals between 50-70%.
So what is the problem here? Is the express faulty? It seems to be broadcasting fine.
Before anyone else suggests it, there are no other wireless networks in range and no sources of wifi interference in the room.
Just to test what would happen, I restarted the working express. Nothing happened and I still have a missing express.
Then I looked at the AEBS. It is reporting that the missing express is a wireless client with a signal of -61, noise of -104 and rate of 1. The signal/noise numbers are close to the other clients, but the other clients all have rates of 54, 54 and 24. One of the clients is the working express, and I guess the other two are my computers.
I restarted the AEBS and the express simultaneously, and that allowed the other express to become available in Airport Utility. Now, all three bases are back up again.
Someone please tell me what is going on here. I can't start to distribute the bases around the house if they won't even work in the same room.
I have been having a similar issue. I have two AEBSn and one express. Every few days one of the clients will disappear and not be found by the airport utiltiy. Like posnera, the missing client shows up aith a rate of 1. I also may or may not get an error message. Often the light is green on bosth the main AEBS and the missing client.
At first I thought it might have been a range issue but it is happening even when they're all in the same room. Restarting the missing client does the trick but I can't figure out why I keep getting a dropout.
It's driving me crazy...

Time Capsule WDS Problem After Firmware (7.6.1) Update
Some time ago, when I first setup my Time Capsule, setting up WDS with it and my Express went really smoothly - really impressed how it went.
I applied an firmware update last night 7.6.1 to the TC and the AE. What a mistake. I've spent most of the morning trying to get WDS to work correctly. AE can't find TC with WDS, WDS error on TC when ever I change it's settings - it's flashing yellow now even though not 10 minutes ago everything was fine? It's a shame because each device has worked perfectly for over a year - when ever I installed them.
Can anyone shed any light on the WDS problem? Has anyone else experienced any problems since the update?
I've been reading about "Extending The Network" with wireless-N, supposed to be much easier, but not all my devices are N rated. Also I know for a fact that the first time I set this (WDS) up it was so easy - the "wizard" configured everything within 15 minutes. It's almost as if the option automatically setup WDS has been removed. Am I imagining things?I tried to change some settings on the TC and the AE would no longer connect. It seems everytime I make changes to either the TC or the AE it cause (yellow flashing light) problems. Decided to fall back to firmware 7.6, I've successfully managed to update settings on the TC without there being any problems.
Don't want to waste any more time messing about with network, fingers crossed until the next firmware update. -
Pardon my ignorance. I have scoured the forums and no one seem to touch on the exact subject I am talking about.
I can't seem to update iCloud's calendar via my iPhone's calendar with all connectivity turned on (sync,push,pull,slap whatsoever).
Also, iCal on Mac follows iCloud (sluggishly and not due to connection problem, so i'd nice to have a status bar telling me whether or not it's active and doing some updating) so when I sync iPhone to Mac it becomes a even more confusing situation...
Simplified version:
-Events created on the iphone doesnt get on icloud.
-When iphone is synced with ical on mac and changes are made on Mac, changes are not immediately reflected on iphone unless clicked "sync"
-I just want to view a live ical at all times without going to safari and opening up the web iCal. I want to view a 100% live iCal on the native iCal via iPhone. Like google docs! Is that too much to ask!?
Iphone seemed to have a "push" or "sync in this many minutes" option for iCal, but that seemed like it's only receiving changes, and not send out changes made via phone. Very confusing, very annoying!Download iTunes using the tab at the top of this page. Then run the update with iTunes closed.

Does copying files into the iTunes library take up even more space?
Hi everyone, I recently upgraded to Leopard and decided to give Boot Camp a try so I backed up everything onto my external hard drive using Time Machine and created my partition for Windows. In doing so, I know have an empty iTunes library.
I just copied everything to my hard drive using Migration Assistant, and although all of the files were locked because I didn't have enough "permission", i fixed that problem. However, when I tried to copy all of my itunes folders into my library, it said that I did not have enough space on my computer for it.
Dose copying music into the library use even more space than what it already is? I'm confused, because I thought that if i have the music files in my computer already I don't need to make another copy of it to place into iTunes...or maybe I'm just confusing myself.
Could someone please just let me know how I can add my music into my library? I really don't think this should be so difficult, I'm just terrible with computers. Thanks!Under Preferences -> Advanced you can uncheck "copy music to iTunes folder", this should fix your problem.
Hope this helps. -
Still nothing about File Vault that needs a bug fix for almost every user. This is becoming even more disappointing!
Apple Enterprise Support is aware of this issue. They have specific instructions which attempt to remediate the issue, however, attempting on two different MBP laptops, so far has not succeeded.
The problem to be specific is - hang at login. The Filevaulted user account gets its password entered, then the "progress bar" mid screen will be seen to halt, never resuming. NVRAM resets dont necessarily cure this issue, but turning off FV2 definitely does.
We are seeing this with 10.10.2 fully Apple-SUS updated machines.
Feedback has been sent to Apple over this as well.
Im recommending:
a. turn off FV2 until such time as a Apple provided update cures it
b. consider the Sophos WDE solution if WDE is absolutely required (disclosure: I havent attempted this, not sure about its workability) -
if you purchase $20 for 10GB for yr do you get 10more GB every year it renews or do you have to buy even more if you use it all?
What a completely worthless reply. But that's your MO. Furthermore, what type of phone makes no difference when you read LG's response below.
Anyway, Verizon does not care or they would have responded to my support request by now so they are going to lose my extra $10 a month for the service starting today.. LG did respond, and blames Verizon. Here's LG's response:
------Reply to Your Inquiry-------
Dear xxx
I do apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.
It seems that this is an issue with the Verizon Family Locator app. Their support forums show many customers having problems with the app on several different model phones.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any additional questions or concerns. Thank you again for contacting LG Electronics.

good evening i have an problem with my iphone 4 the wif and network cant on now if i tray is showing iTunes i tray to reload the ios is showing an error -1 can you help me
No problem, glad to help!
Update: my PC USB hub was connected to a USB 3 port, I connected the 30 pin cable directly to my PC, And the restore worked just fine. Restored phone from iCloud backup and seems to be working fine. -
Aperture 3 keeps crashing on me, consistently. More frequently after using Burn tool or skin smoothing - and even more often when I feather. What can I do? I already upgraded my RAM. I'm at a loss!
4) When my computer crashes, once it starts again, it says "repairing" ... but I am not familiar with reparing permissions -- can you explain how I might do that?
If you are running OS X Lion, then you can restart your computer and then press and hold the 'Option' key immediately after you hear the start up 'gong' (usually heard when grey screen shows as it restarts).
You should see at least two Disks to choose from. Choose 'Recovery Disk' and wait for it to load, then choose 'Disk Utility' option in the Utilities dialog.
Once Disk Utility loads, do the following:
1 - In the left hand pane, choose your system partition (usually called either 'Macintosh HD' or 'Macintosh SSD'). Note - don't choose the actual hard drive listed above the partition when using Disk Utility in OS X Lion as this doesn't offer options for repairing due to it including the Recovery Disk you have loaded in memory.
2 - Click the 'First Aid' tab
3 - Click the 'Repair Disk Permissions' button in lower portion of main pane and allow to complete. Ideally, you will get a final message in main pane saying Disk Permissions are repaired.
4 - At lower right of same pane, click the 'Repair Disk' button and allow to complete. Ideally, you will get a final message indicating that Disk Repair is completed and all appears to be good.
5 - Quit Disk Utility > Close Utilities dialog window > Click 'Restart' button (confirm as needed).
You should boot straight into the system partition when complete.
Note - any red text in the main pane text while running the repairs will be issues and you will need to follow the advice given or post back.
If you are running Snow Leopard; then (as David mentions) boot from your first OS X reinstall disc and run the Disk Utility the same way; except you select the actual hard drive listed at top of left pane (not the partition below it). This is because Snow Leopard does not use a 'Recovery Disk' partition and repairs can be run on the HD or SSD itself.
Hope that helps. -
There is no consistency when one gets the Mozilla Firefox Start page.There is a line as follows :
Web Images Maps News Shopping Books more
To get Gmail one has to click on "more" which gets one a dropdown menu which ends in "even more" Clicking on this takes one to a page headed "Even More Google Products", including (Hurrah!) M Gmail.
Click on this and one gets the page where one signs in, even though I have ticked the box entitled " Stay signed in" and at last ones's e-mail page turns up. Very occasionally, instead of Books or Shopping on the Start Page "Gmail" is there which when clicked on takes one directly to one's e-mail.It seems a hell of a rigmarole just to get one's e-mail!You can set Firefox home page to one of your choosing, see [[how to set the home page]].
If the keep me signed in option is not working, you may have a malformed cookie. Try deleting Google/Gmail cookies, for details on how to do that see [[deleting cookies]]. -
ITunes 11.0.2 breaks playlists even more!
I'm SO ANNOYED!!!...
They've broken playlists even more now!!!...
In iTunes 10 when you searched a playlists for something (normal or smart) and pressed play that search would "stick" and you could look at other playlists and come back to the searched playlist and the search would still be there and everything would keep playing fine...
When iTunes 11 came out and you searched a playlist it would act the same and the search would "stick" until you came back to that playlist... ...When you go back to the playlist your search would be cleared and all the playlist items would be back... ...Annoying but still a little workable...
Now in version 11.0.2 as soon as you change to a different playlist your search is removed and any item in that playlist will play!!!... ...GRR!!!...
This annoys me because I've got a playlist that is the 100 oldest podcasts in iTunes... ...But depending on what I'm doing I might want to listen to audio or watch video... ...so then I do a search for an individual podcast and listen to the all the oldest episodes from that... ...and if I'm listening to audio I sometimes poke around iTunes to delete older podcasts that I've listened to or have a look in the store... ...But now as soon as you go off the playlist the search goes away and EVERYTHING is up next to play!!!... ...And it's the same for all my music playlists too... ...for example the playlist of tracks that haven't been listened to for the longest... ...If I search an artist in those playlists and then go off the list it will just play anything in the list...
Unless I've totally missed a checkbox or a right-click somewhere that will change the search and playlist behaviour... ...Anyone have any ideas???... ...Or are we stuck with it this way now???...
- - Laith...1. Apple – iTunes – Everything you need to be entertained.
2. You will need software to convert from .wav files to .mp3 or .mp4. There are many such applications around. Look for them at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. I have used one called HandBrake 0.9.8. -
I just bought OS X Lion and now it says I need to go to the App store and pay even more money to get a newer iPhoto for PhotoStream to work between my iPhone and my computer. Is this a rip off to make us pay more $ or is there another way to update iPhoto?
Yes, you’ll need to upgrade to the latest version of iPhoto for $15. That is the only solution. You can read here if you wish: http://www.macworld.com/article/160380/2011/06/icloud_what_you_need_to_know.html

My Iphone 4 32GB started having this issue when I downloaded the 2 last 6.1.X... VOICE CONTROL pops-up even when I sleep and calls random people just by the sound of the snoring... in FACETIME even more annoying. I confirm that it does this day and night
Turn off Voice Control.
Otherwise, basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). -
Getting pixelation when I add a camera layer to my imported .mov. Even more pixelation when rendere
I've created a composition with animation in After Effects. Because of the complexity of the composition and its many layers, adding a 3D camera layer to it spawned a whole lot of issues with the wipe effects I had on the pre-existing layers and movement of my layers. So I rendered the composition without the camera layer, nested the .mov into a new comp and added a camera layer. The animation works great but I'm getting a lot of pixelation. Highest HD settings, full resolution, preserving quality of layers when nesting and not sure what's happening. Any ideas? Thanks!
Ok, so here is a screenshot of the original composition. There is no camera layer added here and as you can see the resolution is very clear with little or no pixelation.
Next, is a screenshot of the above composition, after it has been rendered and imported as a .mov in the second composition. Here is where I added the camera layer. The reason I did this is because when I added the camera layer to the first composition (pre-render) my layers would move or resize and my initial animations with the doors opening would be thrown off and my wipes wouldn't work correctly. It became so time consuming to do it this way and have to go back and adjust everything, so I decided to go the quicker route and export then nest the .mov and then add the camera layer. As you can see it becomes more pixelated and as Andrew says "soft" around the edges.
Here is a screenshot from the above rendered comp's .mov file. In the .move it seems even more pixelated and the color is not as sharp either. It looks faded. While it's not too bad, it differs from the rest of the composition I have it combined with in my final composition, so it stands out. This section is my most complication and it should stand out in a good way, and we don't want the quality to distract the viewer from message and fun animation.
So if Andrew is correct, then do I have to go back and add the camera layer to the original composition and if so, is there a way to do so that won't alter the layers and animations? -
I lost some text messages and I want to get them back. I tried an iTunes backup, but I ended up losing even more messages? Can they be recovered?
Go to settings>messages>send and receive at>you can be reached by iMessages at> Uncheck your phone number and you can select your Apple ID emal address if you want to use that for messages.
