How does one recover a lost Airport Express password?

Both on my iPhone and iPad I can use the wifi signal at my friend's house, so they both have stored the password for her Airport Express. My friend, however, needs to re-enter her forgotten AE password to use her own AE. Me not good with technology, so how can I get my iPhone and/or iPad to display the password so that I can provide it to her?
Thanks,
Rick

Hey, I'm slow, but at least I now see others have previously posted this same question. I'll research those threads.
Thanks again,
Rick

Lost airport express password

Hi. I messed up. I lost airport express password. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks for your time.
Sincerely,
Pete

I know Time Capsule has a small reset button on the back. I'm not sure but I think the Airport Express does as well.
On Time Capsule, you could use something pointed (such as a ballpoint pen) to press down and hold the reset button until the status light flashes quickly (about 5 seconds). After that time, the password will reset to "public".

How can i change my old airport express password with mavericks

I just bought a new TV and I am trying to connect to my wi-fi, which runs via an old Airport Express. The TV manufacturer says that I should try changing my password from a WEP to WPA - but it seems that I can't even access my Airport Express because it's not supported by Mavericks. Is there a work-around, or do I need to upgrade my Airport Express? It's running fine otherwise - supports multiple laptops and iPhone.

How does one overcome a lost/forgotten password on time capsule?

I inherited an Apple Time Capsule that was in use in my office before I received it. However, I do not know the password to enable its use. How can I reset the password?

You can perform a Soft Reset to change the password(s) on the Time Capsule.
See this Apple support document for more information on all types of resets:

How does one retrieve a lost music purchased list?

It seems that I've lost my music purchased list and I'm wondering if there's anyway of retrieving it through Apple?

Sorry, but I'm not clear on what you're asking. Do you mean that the Purchased playlist is gone? If that's what you mean, just create a new Smart Playlist with Kind = Protected AAC audio file. That will recollect all your purchased music.
If that's not what you meant, please post back and explain your difficulty further.
Regards.

How does one recover from Downloader:OSX/Flashback.C?

Hi All,
I am pretty sure I dowloaded and installed it on one or more of my machines...
It seems that a re-install of Lion is the only way to bring back Lion's XProtectUpdater functions...
Is there a thread for fixing this dumb mistake?
Cheers,
Adam

After giving this additional thought, I realize that you seem to be the first to report having been infected by this version, so I don't think any of us can offer an exact solution yet. If you don't mind taking your time, I'd like walk you through this slowly so we can all learn more about it.
It would seem that this version was served up for a short time around Oct 11. Do you know if you used it that long ago or was it more recently? Do you still have the installer? If so, hang on to it for now as we may need you to provide it to some sample sites.
Go ahead and test to see if XProtect has been compromised by opening your Terminal app (in the Utilities folder) then copy and paste the following into a new window after the "$" prompt:
sudo launchctl list
hit return and when prompted, enter your admin password (you won't see any typing) and hit return again.
The list should include "com.apple.xprotectupdater.plist" if it's working.
If it's not working, then inspect either of the following two files:
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.xprotectupdater.plist
/usr/libexec/XProtectUpdater
If either are blank, then you have been infected. Restore from backup or reinstall Lion.
Next you will need to fix Safari and/or FireFox. F-Secure has these instructions:
Disinfection
Manual Removal Instructions
In Terminal, convert the affected PLIST files to XML:
plutil -convert xml1 /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info.plist
plutil -convert xml1 /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/Info.plist
Remove the following entry from the PLIST files:
<key>LSEnvironment</key>
<dict>
<key>DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES</key>
<string>%malware_path%</string>
</dict>
Delete the file specified in %malware_path%
Intego explains concerning Safari:
...it adds the actual backdoor module at /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/UnHackMeBuild.
What I don't know is whether or not any of the other files are still installed. They were:
.MacOSX/environment.plist
Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.SystemUI.plist
Library/Preferences/perflib
Library/Preferences/Preferences.dylib
Library/Logs/softwareupdate.log
and Intego said that #4 is not installed. If you find any of them please move them all at once and hold on to them and let us know. The first is a hidden folder, so if you need help looking into that let me know. If that one is not moved at the same time as the others you will probably be unable to log back into your account.

How does one set up a file sharing password?

Hi,
My wife and I use the same Airport Extreme station to access the Internet and each other’s machine. Every time one of us wants to connect to the other machine via AFP, a dialog box springs up that has radio buttons, giving the choice of ‘Registered User’ or ‘Guest.’
Where, on the serving computer, can one set up a ‘registered user’ with a password? Would doing so allow the registered user a wider access than only the ‘Drop Box?’
Thanks,
Klaus

"Registered user", in effect, means "OS X user on the machine being shared". So, you could, right now, click on "registered user" and log in to your wife's Mac using her login details (and vice versa). If you log in as a user, as opposed to a guest, you get access to that user's entire home folder. If that user is also an administrator, you get access to the whole system drive.
Guests actually have access to the "Public" folders in the system (which includes the Drop Box).

How does one stop Firefox asking to update password on secondary signin pages?

Many websites use both a user name/password and a 'secret question' for sign in. The second part usually involves entering the answer to a randomised question, like 'mother's maiden name'; 'place of birth' etc.
Whenever this happens, Firefox asks if I want to update the password it stores. Obviously I don't because it will be changing my actual password, and the answer will be different the next time anyway. This happens on every sign in and there's no way I can see to tell Firefox not to; the only options are to update or 'not now'
I still want Firefox to remember the main user name and actual password, so how do I prevent it from asking about these pseudo passwords without disabling its recording of the main login details?

Thank you, philipp, that did the trick. I'm not sure that should be the preferred way of handling the problem though! Surely Firefox is clever enough to make some distinctions.....
Ah well. Had better spend a little time blocking all my affected sites.
Thanks again.

How does one get Firefox to install 1 Password extension?

When I download the installer, a pop-up says it cannot install because "Firefox cannot modify the needed file". What is the needed file and how can I change the file so that it will install on Firefox?

This will happen if you install an Add-on that needs to be unpacked in order to function properly.
Normally Firefox installs the XPI file and modifies its name, but if an extension needs to modify a file in its file structure or otherwise only works when unpacked (e.g. a dictionary) then you can get this error if the add-on doesn't get unpacked.
Extensions that need to be unpacked should have an unpack instruction in its install.rdf file: <em:unpack>true</em:unpack>
You can temporarily toggle the extensions.alwaysUnpack pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to see if that helps to install the extension.

I have lost my Airport Express Password.It is still connected to some devices. Can I recover it and if not how do I reset it?

I have lost my Airport Express Password.It is still connected to some devices. Can I recover it and if not how do I reset it?

If you can connect to your wireless network and you're using an Apple AirPort Base Station, then simply use AirPort Utility. From the Base Station menu, select Show Passwords...
Or, reset your wireless network password by momentarily depressing the reset button on your AirPort Extreme, Express, or Time Capsule. Press the button for one full second, no more. Then, configure a new password using AirPort Utility.
If you can't connect to your wireless network, or you are not using an Apple AirPort Base Station, you can use the procedure that follows below to retrieve it from your Mac's Keychain.
Your wireless network password is stored in your Mac's Keychain.
You must first have an Administrator account on a Mac that you use with that AirPort Base Station, one that is used to connect to your AirPort network.
On that Mac, open the Utilities folder. Find Keychain Access and launch it.
In the search field at the upper right, type Airport. All the Keychain entries for your base station will appear there, as well as other entries.
Look at the column "Kind". The entry you want to select will be labeled "AirPort network password" (not "AirPort base station password" or anything else).
If you are trying to recover the AirPort Base Station password then the entry you want to select will be labeled "AirPort base station password" not "AirPort network password".
Double-click that, and in the window that appears check the box for "Show password".
You will get the following window:
In the Password field type your Mac's Administrator password - the same one you used to log in to that Mac.
Then, click Allow, and your wireless network password will appear in the "Show password" field:
Make note of it.
Close the window, then quit Keychain Access.

How does one sync the new time capsule with the old airport extreme and airport express in order to extend range?

How does one sync the new time capsule with the old airport extreme and airport express in order to extend range?

Thanks for the additional information.
Unfortunately, the AirPort Utility application in the Lion and Mountain Lion operating systems, which is used to configure the new Time Capsule does not support the older versions of the products that you have.
Even if it did, there are no settings on the older AirPorts to "Extend a wireless network", so they are not compatible with the new Time Capsule if you intend to extend the network only using wireless connections.
If you have the ability to connect each AirPort to the Time Capsule using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection, it might be possible to use a complicated workaround to install an older version of AirPort Utility to configure the older AirPorts to work with the new Time Capsule.
If you have another Mac there that is using the Leopard or Snow Leoapard operating system, things would likely be simpler. I have not done this type of procedure to mix a new Time Capsule with older AirPorts, so I would not be able to say whether this would work or not.

How does one install a express sql server to run with Visual Web Developer 2008?

I successfully installed .NET framework v 3.5 and VWD 2008 on a new Vista laptop. When I want to add a Sql Server database to a website, errors tell me to install SS 2005 Express. MSDN SS 2005 Express download tells me I MUST first install .NET framework v 2.0 before SS 2005. When I try to install framework v 2.0, I'm sent to v. 3.5 and no way to download SS 2005.

I am having the same issue too. It looks like many more people are having it as well. I called Apple Support a few times, but they use their standard naiive response: "we have never heard about this issue".
It is an issue of DHCP implementation on the Apple OS. My windows PCs and Printer are not having these issues..
