Help -- where did Express Setup Assistant go?

hello, i am a new user to Airport Express. I had all my setting on an "old" computer -- Airport worked great. Just got a new laptop (using Windows Vista) and was trying to put all the admin utitities on my new computer. i have seemed to misplace the install disk that came with the Airport. on my old computer, i used the "airport setup assistant" often, and found it much easier then the airport admin utility. when i went on line, i found Airport Support, 4.2 for windows on the apple website. Downloaded and installed -- but it did not include the setup assistant program. Is there any help out there to know where i might be able to find the assistant and download it? i cant find it anywhere on the Apple website. Thanks for your help...this fourm is awesome...
Matt

I didn't upgrade to Vista, but did need to re-download the same app. Took a bit to find. I also like the Express Assistant Utility. Download the Airport 4.1 for windows (Nov 2004) and execute. The Express Assistant is part of the package.

Hope that helps.

Launch the Terminal application; e.g., by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search. Copy or drag -- do not type -- the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. Confirm.
Reboot. The Setup Assistant will launch.

Where is the setup assistant on my new iphone5?

Where is te setup assistant on my iphone5?

Yes. If you want to save anything, you'll have to do that first. You can, for example, import your camera roll photos to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. Your recent texts will can be archived by taking screenshots and importing the photos, but it isn't possible to save them and sync them back to your phone after restoring the backup.

Can't get AirPort Express Setup Assistant to Work

I'm having trouble just setting up AirPort Express. (All I want to do is play iTunes from a stereo system in another room.) I purchased an "AirMac Express base station" in Tokyo a few days ago, took it out of the box, and followed the instructions as far as connecting audio jacks and plugging the base station into an electric outlet. (My iMac is also a Japanese machine, and I'm using it in Tokyo.
The next step was supposed to be opening AirPort Setup Assistant and obeying it. But the SA wasn't in Apps>Utilities, where the instruction manual said it would be, so I used the CD that came with the base station to install SA.
I did manage to open it and get as far as the first step, but then I got this message:
"In order to use the AirPort Setup Assistant your AirPort card must be enabled and AirPort needs to be turned on and set to use DHCP. Click OK if you would like to change these settings, or Skip if you would like to configure AirPort Base Stations using ethernet."
(An AirPort card was factory-installed, and AirPort is turned on.) So I clicked on "OK." Then I get this message and SA vanishes:
There was an error communicating with your AirPort card. Please make sure it is installed properly and try the AirPort Setup Assistant again.
I have looked in support as best I can and also tried some googling, but I still have idea what to do. Can anyone help?
Many thanks!

I finally found the answer to my question in Joe Kissell's Taking Control of Upgrading to Leopard. For anyone who may need to know, the AirPort Setup Assistant is no longer used to set up base stations. That task has now been delegated to Airport Utility. Duh.
But why couldn't Apple manage to put this information in a place where people who bought a base station could find it??

HT4859 Where is the setup assistant found?

I have a new iPad and want to restore from my last iCloud backup. I cannot figure out where to start! Help?

It's here:
How to restore from a backup
You have to erase it first:
... Complete the setup assistant after erasing your device (by going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings) or after starting your new device. When prompted to set up as new or to restore from previous backup, choose to restore from iCloud backup. Then enter your AppleID and password.

I am trying to set up a home network for the first time between a Windows XP computer and an iMac G5. The PC already has internet, and I want to get Internet on my Mac too. I am following the steps in the setup booklet that came with the Airport Extreme, and it says to go to Start>All Programs>Airport but I can't find it! Can anyone please help me?
Thanks!

Is your PC already wireless or wired? Is your broadband modem connected to the WAN port of the Extreme Base Station? Is your Mac going to be wired or wireless?
I am following the steps in

Extend AirPort Extreme Network with AirPort Express- Setup assistance

I have an AirPort Extreme working nicely and connected directly to my Comcast cable modem. I would like to extend my network for greater coverage upstairs and to run an upstairs printer on the network. I cannot get the Express connected as an extension to my existing wireless network. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Bob. Do you mind if I listen in on this thread? I am trying to extend a network the same way JVT1057 is, yet my Mac mini in the Airport application cannot find the Express device. The Extreme device is up and working well, and is "seen" by the mini in the utility, but not the Express device. I need a stronger signal in a home office upstairs and would like to connect a networked printer here in the office via the Express.
What am I doing wrong? I, too, have specifiied on the Extreme menus that I want the network to be extended.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Help, where did my MBA 250 GB SSD disk space go?

I can't account for 123 GB of my MBA 13's 250 GB SSD. A check of the SSD using "Get Info" shows 243GB used. The folders using space on the SSD add up to 120GB being used (as indicated by "Get Info" for each folder). When I look at the details about the SSD using "About this Mac" it states that I have two partitions on the SSD. Is it possible that I have a partition that takes up hard disk space but is not viewable in Finder? I keep running into low hard disk space warnings and can't see why when with the applications, music, pictures, movies, documents and system files on my computer only add up to 120GB. Very frustrated...looking for any help I can get. Thanks.

OK, this is helpful. From the DU info you have a 250 GB SSD that is fully partitioned and formatted as Macintosh HD. If you select the drive on the Desktop then press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window, what is reported in the upper pane for the drive's capacity, used, and available space?
Do you use Time Machine at all? If not, open TM preferences and see if TM is turned ON. TM is supposed to do snapshot backups on the startup drive when turned on but when no backup drive is connected.
As for the About This Mac display it is not very useful. Other simply refers to anything not in the other categories and may consist of data, logs ,temporary files, cache files, etc. What is relevant is only what is displayed by the Get Info report for the drive.
It would appear there is about 8.7 GBs of free space on the drive. There is also a reserved amount of space equal to the amount of RAM you have. This is used for the sleep image made when you put the computer to sleep. The Recovery HD uses about 650 MBs of space.
I would suggest you get an external drive that is at least the same size as the SSD. Clone the SSD to the external drive using Disk Utility's Restore feature:
Clone Lion using Restore Option of Disk Utility
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue button.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
Then boot from the clone using OPTION boot. Use DU to erase the SSD then restore the clone to the SSD. After that erase the external drive. Copy all the data in your Home folder to the external drive and erase the same from the SSD. This will free up a considerable amount of space on the SSD giving you a bit more leeway. For OS X to run optimally you need to maintain a certain amount of free space - at least 12 GBs or 10% of the startup drive's capacity, whichever is greater.
Overall I would suggest an external drive of 1 TB. Partition it as follows:
500 GBs for Time Machine backup.
250 GBs for additional storage use.
250 GBs for a bootable clone of the SSD.
This will allow you to put your photos, iTunes library, and movie files onto the external drive so you can remove them from the SSD to free up the space they now take up.
The MBA is not a choice for the home desktop computer. So you need to manage the space usage on the SSD. I keep just a trimmed down installation on my laptops. They are treated as the "travel" computer so I only put on them what is minimally needed for the travel. I use a 60 GB SSD but have more than enough free space for travel needs. If I need more space then I use a 500 GB HDD that has all the space I would likely need.

HELP-Where did my mailbox go?

I went to check my Mail, and when I click on the mail icon in the Doc nothing pops up. It says MAIL in the upper left corner but there is no option to close or open Mail. Nothing is showing up. HELP please. I tried to restart or shut down the computer but it will not let me because it says I have to close MAIL first, but this option is not allowed when I tried.

Try force quitting the Mail app.
Press Option + Command + Esc then select Mail then click Force Quit.

Help, where did my trash can go?

Why did I loose the icon for deleting (trash can) and reply icon on my iPhone?. When reading my emails I always had them at the bottom

hi Fullcream!
thanks for the reply. So here's the deal (which I just discovered 15 minutes ago):
my co-worker wiped out my iTunes. We are running out of space on our shared server here at work, so he is getting rid of the iTunes stuff which is taking up space. About a year ago, we had this problem and as it turned out my iTunes folder was connected to our shared "P" drive. I changed it so it is now located on my "C" drive.
the problem now is that everytime I import a CD to iTunes, the playlist data info still goes to the "P" drive, to a folder called :
P:\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music Library.xml
After adding 1000 songs, that data adds up and takes up space. That's why my co-worker wiped it. I still have all my songs, but neither of us can seem to figure out how to have that playlist data go to my C drive instead. Any ideas???
THANKS!

Where did my Migration Assistant go when I installed 0S X 10.6.3?

I installed Mac OSX Snow Leopard version 10.6.3 on my computer and I now have no migration assistant. Spot Light comes up with nothing. This is kind of frustrating.

Migration Assistant should be in /Applications/Utilities. You may want to first update the OS to 10.6.8 and if it does not show up, reinstall.
Best of luck.

Can't Find Airport Setup Assistant - Help!

Hello All,
I have been given an airport express unit and wish to set it up to play itunes wirelessly. I have a wireless connection to the internet using a router and want to link airport to this existing network to be able to play music. However I cannot find the airport express setup assistant, the things I have tries are as follows:
- When I plug in the unit, I get a flashing amber light
- In utilities the only option is airport utility, setup assistant doesn't seem to exist on this mac
- Airport utility is unable to discover wireless devices
- When I put the setup cd in that came with the pack and install, it says 'You cannot install AirPort 4.0 on this volume. Your AirPort software is currently up to date.'
- I have tried downloading new airport software using software update and it is totally up to date, but I still can't find the mythical 'airport setup assistant' I need
- All other support articles require the 'airport setup assistant'
Any advice or hints would be much appreciated, it can't be that I am the only one that has had this problem!
Thanks

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
AirPort Utility is the successor to AirPort Setup Assistant, so you should use that.
- Airport utility is unable to discover wireless devices
The AirPort Express is probably broadcasting a different network ID. You won't be able to see it wirelessly in AirPort Utility without switching to that network. Until you can complete the configuration process, I'd connect the AirPort Express to your computer with an Ethernet cable.
You should also consider doing a complete reset of the AirPort Express. Press in on the reset button (a small gray button near the connectors), then apply power while continuing to press on the button. Hold in the button until the status light flashes several times.

Unfortunately if you did not set up 'Find My iPhone', there is no way to remotely track or wipe the device.

Where can I download Airport Express (11g) Setup Assistant for Windows 7?

My AEx (11g) has stopped connecting.
On my PC, the AEx Setup Assistant and Utility have disappeared - I need to download these for this old 11g AEx.
I run Optus cable <-> Optus modem <-> Linksys wireless modem <-> Windows 7 PC.
I use AEx to play iTunes music on a remote system.
thank you in advance for any help
regards
Chris

This is what appears for me when I click the link above in my post.
It works fine on 3 wireless devices that I just tested. You might want to restart your computer, or maybe check the Firewall settings on the PC. If you are using Microsoft Security Essentials, it may be blocking the connection.
Not sure what else to suggest. Maybe try the raw address: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1547

I think Bluetooth Setup Assistant is missing. Where did it go?

Just got a brand new late 2013 Retina Macbook Pro 13" and am having trouble syncing my Jambox. Usually I just find the Bluetooth Setup Assistant and re-pair it that way, but I can't find that. Is it missing in Mavericks? Possible to re-install?
Any other thoughts about why it isn't easier to pair my Jambox?
Thanks!

Restore iPhoto 9.5.1 from the last Time Machine backup you made before you upgraded to Yosemite.
If that is not possible, try, if you can install iPhoto from the main "Featured" tab of the App Store. It may not be possible to reinstall from the App Store at all, since the current version is iPhoto 9.6 and you already purchased it.
