HAVING ISSUES WITH SETTING UP AN EXTERNAL HD TO AIRPORT EXTREME

I have a 5th generation Airport Extreme that is 2 months old and for the life of me I can not get it to see the new Lacie 2 TB external I just purchased today. I have followed all the directions from the Apple support site and NOTHING! I just want to be able to back up my MBP 15" wirelessly...if any one can help that would be AWESOME!!!

Checklist.....
The hard drive is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Verify that the USB cable is working correctly
Use a powered USB hub due to low voltage on the AirPort Extreme USB port
Locating via Finder.....
Open Macintosh HD or Finder
Click the AirPort Extreme icon under the SHARED heading
A folder representing the drive will appear in the window to the right
Double click the folder to mount the drive on the desktop
Caution......
Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme are not supported by Apple.
You should be OK for regular file storage, etc.

Setting up USB External Drive to Airport Extreme Base Station

I've attached an External Hard Drive to my AEBS. My base computer is connected to the AEBS via Ethernet Cable and can see the external drive under Networked Drive however it shows up twice as Drive Y and Drive Z both showing the exact same capacity.
My desktop computer is running windows vista, and my laptop is also running vista. My Laptop connects to the AEBS wirelessly. The laptop does not see this External Hard Drive. How do I get my laptop to recognize this drive? Shoule my external hard drive display with two different drive letters, or should it only appear as one? I've not had much luck using this feature of the airport extreme and was the basic reason i purchased the AEBS

The USB port on the AirPort Extreme will support drive formats of Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and FAT32. NTFS is not supported, so that might explain some of your difficulties.
What feature did I invoke that automatically established a "third" drive? Where is it established on the physically formatted Mac drive? Does the format of Appleshare just indicate how the partition is accessed?
Not sure about this. When I format a drive as Mac OS or FAT 32, I see a single drive when accessed from the Finder.

Anyone having issues with playback on an external monitor in the new CC 2014?

So Premiere has updated its little self on my mac and now won't work with my external monitor via HDMI or Apple TV. Works absolutely fine the rest of the time but as soon as I try and get external playback to work it crashes.
Is anyone else having this issue / know a fix?
Thanks!

per Lightroom and Creative Cloud FAQ
Lightroom must be installed to your local drive and can't be installed to custom location like other Creative Cloud apps. Lightroom always installs to the default location and disregards any preference you select for a custom location. This behavior is as designed.

HT1694 Is anyone else having issues with setting up email through their Yahoo account on 7.1?

My Yahoo account was hacked and I had to change the password. Tried to update it through settings and I'm getting the message Server Unavailable. Try again later. Has anyone experienced this or know how to help? Tried setting it up as an Other email account and that didn't work either. The same thing has happened with my iTouch4.

Yes, Yahoo is known for this. - connection to server failed or unavailable.

Having issues with setting the "Active Window"

Hello List,
I've got a LV installation that runs three LV created EXE's simultaneously. In the "top level" application, the user enters a product model number (by way of a PS2 barcode scanner) to be tested, and that application looks at our network to see if there is a test recipe for the product. If there is, it hides and moves itself to the bottom and maximizes and moves to the top EXE number two. On EXE number two, the user is supposed to scan the product serial number. But on occasion, EXE number two is not the active window, even though it is the frontmost and maximized, so the scan from the barcode reader doesn't go into the field. (Looking at the Taskbar at the bottom of the screen, the task for the frontmost & maximized EXE is not "depressed") A simple mouse click anywhere on the window will make it active, but the users don't have a mouse (or keyboard) (I am able to "remote in" from another computer using a product line "PC Anywhere). I have tried using the "mouse_event" from user32.dll in a "Call Library Function Node", but that doesn't seam to work reliably.
So my first question is, will the "mouse_event" from user32.dll even fire if my computer doesn't have a mouse plugged in?
And, if not, does anyone have any better ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

I'm guessing that it would, because Windows has a cursor even if there's no mouse plugged in, but I haven't tried it.
As for the second question, you could try what I posted here, although you'll probably want to clean up the code - http://lavag.org/topic/12751-how-do-you-make-your-application-window-frontmost/?p=76308

Having issues with setting password using SecurityUtility

Hi,
I have a requirement to get password from CredentialStore (oracle.security.jps.service.credstore.CredentialStore) using oracle.tip.b2b.security.SecurityUtility as follows.

I tried to add permissions for this class TpTransactionManagementHandlers.class in java.policy as follows:
grant codeBase "file:/slot/ems6670/oracle/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/test_soa_domain/servers/soa_server2/tmp/_WL_user/myDeployment/ahfyfu/ViewControllerWebApp.war/WEB-INF/classes/oracle/apps/snw/tpadmin/webui/TpTransactionManagementHandlers.class" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
This worked fine. But, next time when I restart weblogic server, the location of above class file changes since directory name under ~/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/test_soa_domain/servers/soa_server2/tmp/_WL_user/myDeployment/ changes, and again I get above permission error. How to resolve this?
Is there some other way to add permissions?
Thanks,

Hi Siddhesh,
You are doing some interesting work. Just wanted to check whether you got any solution/workaround for this problem?

Is iphone 4 having issues with Blue tooth?. I have checked four iphone brand new sets from different location. Not detecting other devices

Is iphone 4 Having issues with Blue Tooth connectivity ? Last saturday i have bought up iphone 4, when i checked that device blue tooth was not detecting the other iphones. I went to apple store in Ottawa. They checked with their Mac computers. They said Yes this iphone is having problem. Please exchange it on the store you bought up. I have exchanged that iphone with brand new, again same issues...
iPhone is not detecting other devices with Blue Tooth. I have checked with other two. they having same problem.
Please tell me, What apple gonna do with my iphone now ? Should i keep it ? or cancel my contract with cell phone company. As i am sure they not going to replace it again or gonna make excuses.
Waiting for replies [email protected]

I have upgraded my iphone 3 to a 4. I just recently discovered that while the iphone 3 automatically discovers bluetooth but the iphone 4 does not (couldn't discover any bluetooth). My bluetooth is Jabra SP200. It turned out, there are other steps to take with the bluetooth device to pair with the iphone 4. As stated, iphone 3 detected it automatically. But w the iphone 4, I had to press and hold the answer button of the Jabra for it to pair with iphone 4. Call the bluetooth manufacturer directly and check with their alternative pairing procedures.
Hope this helps.

Issues with setting up Exchange Server 2013

Hi All
Not sure what im doing wrong yet i am having issues with exchange server 2013.
Currently I have got general SMTP Mail flow working. as long as i log onto the local servers OWA (https://10.x.x.x/owa) i can log into a users mailbox. i have tested sending and recieving mail using this and it works.
My main issue now is with accessing the OWA externally via our website. (owa.xx.xx.au/owa) or connecting ANY Outlook to the server.
When i connect to the exchange server via outlook it asks for the password again multiple times never authenticating it then time's out and says:
" the action cannot be completed. the connection to microsoft exchange is unavailable, outlook must be online or
connected to complete this action "
then when i click on OK it goes to the General Tab and under microsoft exchange server: the name for it appears as
[email protected]
with mailbox set as:
=SMTP:[email protected]
Currantly on our DNS i have
mx= 10 mail.xx.xx.au
CNAME= autodiscover = mail.xx.xx.au
CNAME= OWA = mail.xx.xx.au
A = mail = 12.34.56.78
On our modem/router i have set one-to-one nat to our firewall IP
On our firewall i have
SMTP SAT and NAT to Exchange server
HTTPS Sat and NAT to exchange Server
HTTP Sat and Nat to exchange Server
Port 587 SAT and Nat to exchange server
pop SAT and NAt to exchange server
Im willing to bet its something stupid i have overlooked but i was wondering if anyone would be able to help me out
Regards
Sibsy

Hello,
Firstly, please follow the Shadab's suggestion to check related virtual directory settings.
Please make sure you use certificate that's created by a CA that's trusted by the client computer's operating system.
Please use get-outlookanywhere | fl cmdlet to check ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod. By default, the authentication is Negotiate.

Anyone else having issues with iMac built-in microphone?

My mom's brand new 24" iMac (running the latest version of Leopard) keeps having issues with the built-in microphone going dead. It can be resurrected with a restart and PRAM reset (command-option-P-R), but it is kind of annoying to have to do this every time she wants to Skype or iChat. Any ideas what might be causing this? She runs a fairly clean system with few peripherals or third-party software (except occasionally an external FW drive for backups, a Blu-Ray burner [not connected at the same time], and Toast). Thanks.

Even on restart with nothing else running, she can go into the System Preferences/Sound/Input and try testing the microphone and it is DOA. We did go through all of the prefs in Skype and they are all set right, she does try the Sound Test call in Skype to see if her audio is working and that is usually the indication that something is not right. Her broadband connection varies too much to have iChat work reliably if at all. She will be installing Snow Leopard soon, and I read that iChat only requires 300kbps bandwidth as opposed to 900kbps under Leopard so there is a possibility that there will be an alternative to Skype in the near future.
All her updates are installed. Repairing permissions was done less than a month ago, but it is worth a try again. Also will have her fire up Activity Monitor to see if there is anything else taxing the CPU. I am 2000 miles away so it is sometimes hard to maintain this machine properly from a distance.
Thanks for your input in trying to solve this mystery. BTW what do you think of using an external dedicated microphone? Kind of defeats the purpose/beauty of having it built-in with the iMac...

I am having issues with installing a Ricoh MP C2500 printer on Lion in my MBPro Ci7

I am having issues with installing a Ricoh MP C2500 printer on Lion in my MBPro Ci7 Where is appletalk or the replacement?
My it guy has set all the Ricoh (The only brand of printers we use.) to enable Appletalk. I am unable to see how to enable appletalk or an equivalent on Lion and have spent 3 hours now searching for it. If I connect to the printer via TCP/IP it prints random characters. I have a Ricoh working for another moddle but I am needing to use this machine. HELP!!!!!

AppleTalk has been gone eons ago. Connect via USB and see what happens. If you are networking the printer then advise on your connection set up.

Mac Pro 6,1 STILL having issues with Open CL (4K scaling and SpeedGrade direct link grades)

I've seen the staff responses to the issues of the new Mac Pro GPU saying that 10.9.4 fixes everything. For me, it has fixed my export issues, so I'm glad. I'm no longer getting lines and artifacts on my renders.
That's great.
However, I'm still having several issues, and they seem to be linked to Adobe and Open CL.
Here's a video that shows what's going on:
mac pro issues july 7 - YouTube
Issue #1
Like most of you probably, I'm doing 1080p exports of most things I'm working on. The first project shows a 1080p timeline with a mix of 4k, 5k, and 720p footage. Because zooming in so much on a 720p file in a 4k timeline looks so crappy, I'm doing 1080p timelines and scaling everything to the size it needs to be. I started in a 4k timeline then switched to 1080p because the 720p footage looked so terrible. However, in the 4k timeline, I didn't have any of the issues I'm showing in this first part of the video.
When I switched to the 1080p timeline, I discovered a weird quirk: When I resize the 4k (or 5k) footage to the size it needs to be (which varies based on the frame I want), it goes back to the 100% view when I'm scrubbing through it. When I pause, the size of the video goes back to the way I set it. I show this in the video. Then I show what was my working solution for the time being: "scale to frame size", which brings all the videos to the size of the sequence frame size and works fine. Later, I turn off OpenCL in premiere and when I scrub through the video, it doesn't zoom back in or only stay at the size I set when stopped. For some reason all of these issues only happen at 50% scale or smaller. It doesn't happen at, say, 60%.
I've tested this with raw R3D files and other 4K (or 5K) clips (even clips exported from After Effects) and the same thing happens. It doesn't seem to happen with 2.5k footage or 1080p footage.
Issue #2
This is the second project you'll see in the video.
After grading in speedgrade (through direct link) I open my project back up in premiere and start playing it back. The video plays back with delays and frame drops. Now normally, this would be expected. But this is 1080p pro res footage, and this is just an effect added, and the yellow bar appears indicating that open CL should be accelerating the playback and it should do so smoothly.
Maybe I was just wrong in assuming that a simple grade from speedgrade would be able to playback smoothly. I turn off the grade, and it plays normally.
But then, when I turn off open cl and leave the grade on, the video plays back without ANY issues.
So to me, it seems I'm still having issues with Open CL and adobe. I've found fixes that make it work temporarily, I don't need that kind of answer. However, I would like this to work. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Something I need to do to get this to work?
Here are my specs:
Mac Pro 6,1 (Late 2013)
3 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon E5
64 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 ECC
AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB (x2)
OSX 10.9.4
Firmware: 2.20f18
What you're seeing is latest version of Premiere (CC 2014, v8.0.0 [169] Build)
Everything here is ProRes 422, running from a Promise Pegasus2 R4 RAID (drives: 4x Seagate Desktop HDD 4 TB SATA 6Gb/s NCQ 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive ST4000DM000) (that's thunderbolt 2).
I've done everything: I've restarted my computer hundreds of times, I've reset NVRAM and PRAM and done power cycles.
This isn't just some issue that started with 10.9.3 of OSX, the 4k issues happened when I first switched to a 1080p sequence back in February (2014) or so, which means it was an issue even with 10.9.2 and the previous firmware release.
I've reported this issue to adobe.

That crash appears to be casued by the Facebook plug-in.
Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

I am using an early 2008 MacBook Pro and am having issues with it deleting text on its own (in word, emails, etc.). As I am typing it all of a sudden starts deleting and I can't stop it. What can I do?

I am using an early 2008 MacBook Pro and am having issues with it deleting text on its own (in word, emails, etc.). As I am typing it all of a sudden starts deleting and I can't stop it. This happened once before and it was due to a buldging battery pressing on the track pad. I checked the battery and it appears to be fine. What can I do?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Issue with setting ratings and labels

Greetings all. I am having an issue with setting ratings AND labels on image files at the same time. If the script sets the label first then the rating, the label doesn't show in Bridge. If the script sets the rating first then the label, the rating doesn't show in Bridge.
Is there a workaround for this? Here is my script function for doing this. file=filename minus extension. Rating is a number for the desired rating. lab is a number for the level of Label I wish to set. Everything works great except that I can't set both Rating and Label with the script as shown. In this instance, only the Ratings will show up in Bridge after running the script. If I move the x.label=Label line under the x.rating=Rating line, then the ratings only show for those images with no label (lab=0). Any image that gets a label receives no rating.
If you're going to test this, you may want to comment out the Collections part. That's the part within the "switch(Number(Rating))" block.
function setRating(file,Rating,lab) {
    try{
        cr=File(file+"CR2");
        psd=File(file+"psd");
        jpg=File(file+"jpg");
        tif=File(file+"tif");
        switch(lab) {
            case 0: Label = ""; break;
            case 1: Label = "Select"; break;
            case 2: Label = "Second"; break;
            case 3: Label = "Approved"; break;
        if (cr.created) {
            var c=new Thumbnail(cr);
            c.label=Label;
            c.rating=Rating;
            if (psd.created) {
                p=new Thumbnail(psd);
                p.label=Label;

                    j.label=Label;
                    j.rating=Rating;
                    Rating=0;
                else addFile=psd;
            else addFile=cr;
        switch(Number(Rating)){
            case 0 : break; /* No Rating */
            case 1 : if(!app.isCollectionMember(OneStar,new Thumbnail(addFile))) app.addCollectionMember(OneStar,new Thumbnail(addFile)); break;
            case 2 : if(!app.isCollectionMember(TwoStars,new Thumbnail(addFile))) app.addCollectionMember(TwoStars,new Thumbnail(addFile)); break;

Afew errors to start with, you were not creating a proper file as there wasn't a fullstop in the filename.
If a CR2 file didn't exist no other file was looked for, you were using "created" and should have been "exists"
This now labels and rates....

Hey there CrazyTC,
It sounds like you are unable to re install iTunes because the Apple Mobile Device service failed to start. Try restarting it with the following article:
How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1567
Windows Vista or Windows 7
Close iTunes and disconnect the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Click the Windows Start button .
In the Start Search field type Services.
In the Programs section of the search results, Click "Services".
Select Apple Mobile Device and click Stop the service as shown below:
After the service has stopped, click Start the service.
After the Apple Mobile Device service has started again, open iTunes and connect the device.
Then if the issue is resolved, set the service to start Automatically with the same article.
If it is still not working, use these steps from the same article to completely uninstall iTunes and its associated applications and install a fresh copy.
Remove and reinstall iTunes and AMDS
If the issue continues after restarting AMDS, then you'll need to remove and reinstall AMDS and iTunes.
Completely uninstall AMDS, iTunes, and all Apple software. Click the appropriate links below for steps:
Windows XP
Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Restart the computer.
Download and install (or reinstall) the latest version of iTunes from www.apple.com/itunes. Installing iTunes will also install AMDS.
Restart the computer.
Start iTunes and connect the device. It should be recognized properly in Windows.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

I have been having issues with my computer lagging after installing lion.

I have been having issues with my computer lagging after installing lion. Can anyone please help me get the issue resolved? I need it in easy to follow language.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
