HT204371 Hallo - I'm sure this question has been asked many times before but still can't get my head around it

I have an 'n' version Airport Express (1st Generation) and want to use it to AirPlay music from iTunes on my Mac to my HiFi in the next room. That's all I want to use it for. Have set it up to join an existing wireless network. However it will only work with an ethernet cable connected to the router. Loses the green light when cable is unplugged. As the hifi is in the next room I want it to work wirelessly, otherwise there'll be cables everywhere (as at present - ugh!) What do I have to do?  What setting needs to be changed. Thanks.

Well, I'd all but given up and decided I'd live with it ethernet connected with wires draped everywhere...then I had another look this moring and found this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2098
I have a non Apple, older (Thompson) router. After a factory reset, and when going through the 'join existing network' procedure when sked for the WEP password you need to put a $ before the password...and hay presto...the set up completes and...AirPlay works!  I suspect many might not have discovered this page of support information and will have been as frustrated as me for many many hours!

  • "no un-bridged adapter" - and yes, I know this has been asked many times before :)

    OK, so I installed vmware workstation 10 on windows 8.1 update. I got the above error. "No problem" I thought, and followed the community and googled advice, I:
    1) uninstalled vmware
    2) disabled my antivirus (Kaspersky)
    3) ran the installer "As administrator" (I'm a member of the local administrators group, so hopefully anything else that doesn't require elevated permissions would be OK)
    Result: Virtual Network Editor does not show VMnet0, but I see it in C:\ProgramData\VMware\netmap.conf
    #This file is automatically generated.
    # Hand-editing this file is not recommended.
    network0.name = "HostOnly"
    network0.device = "vmnet1"
    network1.name = "NAT"
    network1.device = "vmnet8"
    network2.name = "VMNet0"
    network2.device = "vmnet0"
    Looking at the properties of my network adapter (Intel(R) Ethernet Connection I217-LM) I see the vmware bridge protocol and the vmnetbridge service is running.
    So next I try the "restore defaults" in the network editor - no change. I try removing the protocol from the adapter and I get error 0x80070005 but if i click OK and go back into the properties, it's gone. I can't add it back, because I'm told it's marked for deletion. So I reboot, try to add it, and I get access denied, but again if I close the dialog, and go back, the service is now there.
    I'm just in a workgroup and i have not applied any Group Policies...
    Happy to try any suggestions...

    Uninstalling AntiVirus and or EndPoint Security software has been discussed a considerable number of times and has been discussed for many years and uninstalling any given AntiVirus and or EndPoint Security software is SOP when dealing with some issues with VMware Type 2 Hypervisors, especially when there are Network related issues.  At times both Avast and Kaspersky as well as others have been mention in these forums and at times in the product release notes too.

  • I'm sure this question has been asked before, i bought a iPad 2 from my friend and i hadn't used it for nearly 5 months then i tried to activate it and it says that there a iCloud account linked to it but my friend has NEVER used iCloud.  What can i

    I just want to know how get rid of a iCloud account from a ipad2 that i purchased off my friend.  My friend has NEVER used iCloud so i don't know how this iCloud account got linked to this ipad2 and i don't know how to get rid of it?  Please help.

    If your friend is the iPhone’s original owner, tell them to take the device and its original purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store.
    If not, but you're able to contact the person who set the lock, send them this link and tell them to follow its instructions.
    If neither of the above applies, you can't activate the device but may be able to get it refunded. Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)

    How can I replace the folder icons in a Picture Library with a thumbnail of a photo in a folder?  I know I can do something very similar in the 'getting started' list by using a 'Promoted Links List' does the picture library

    Thank you,

    I'm a bit of fan of: lapointes add-ons.
    If you have these installed (free of charge) it is just a powershell command. (set-spolist)
    check: http://www.falchionconsulting.com/PowerShellViewer/Default.aspx?Version=SPO&Cmdlet=Set-SPOList
    ImageUrl
    False
    String
    Sets a value that specifies the URI for the icon of the List.
    Good luck!

  • I'm burning dvd's that won't play on a regular dvd player.  What am I doing wrong?  Are there some simple things to check to figure this out?  (Sorry, I know this has been asked many times)

    I'm burning dvd's that won't play on a regular dvd player.  What am I doing wrong?  They play fine on computers but not on dvd players.  Are there some simple things to check to figure this out?  (Sorry, I know this has been asked many times).  Created in DVD studio pro.

    Hi
    Just my thoughts to add to the excellent answers above.
    • BRAND of DVD used - Matters when doing Video-DVDs
    Memorex, NoName etc cheap brands usually do NOT work
    I only Use Verbatim (more organic dye in these)
    • Type of DVD - matters
    - DVD+/RW - usually results in problems
    - DL-DVDs are more problematic than SL-DVDs
    - DVD+R are a more modern sort - BUT PLAYS BADLY or not at all on older DVD-players
    I only use DVD-R
    • BURN SPEED - matters
    - Best in iDVD app - IS NOT BEST at all but results in lot's of Burn Errors = Doesn't play well or at all
    I set this down to x2 or x4 max.
    Yours Bengt W

  • BBC Radio on iTunes - Sorry, I know this question has been asked a lot

    Hi all,
    I'm having trouble searching the forum for an answer, so I'll pose the question which I'm sure has been answered many times in the past.
    The BBC's audio streams are fantastic. Now that I've installed the "Remote" on my iPod Touch, I'm keen to listen to their streams in iTunes rather than the BBC iPlayer.
    Is it possible to add any of their streams to iTunes? At minimum, the Worldservice?
    Steve

    I have also wondered about this. Want to hear the world service without opening RealPlayer or Safari. Tried to open a stream with the adress from RealPlayer, but that didn't work. Maybe iTunes doesn't support RealAudio? Also tried the adresse you get when opening a stream from BBC Radio's homepage, but that didn't work either. This stream should be in windows media format. I have got Flip for Mac installed and updated. Any ideas out there?

  • I know this question has been asked a lot

    But I can't find an answer to my specific computers. I have an iMac 8,1 and the first Unibody Macbook 5,1.... the iMac model: 8,1 Supports external display in dual display and mirroring modes. VGA output supported by optional Apple DVI-to-VGA adapter. However, I have went to the apple store and they stated my certain macbook can not be used as a second display for the imac nor the imac being used as a second for the macbook. The macbook model: 5,1 Supports external display in dual display and mirroring modes. DVI, Dual-Link DVI, and VGA supported by optional Apple adapters. So how to get it to work???? I don't feel like spending $900 for a display when I feel these computers are capable by themselves, and don't tell me I paid over $3,500 to not have this feature?
    This is the early 2008 iMac and the late 2008 macbook
    Again the models are
    iMac 8,1 2.8GHZ 24"
    Macbook 5,1 2GHZ 13" Unibody

    So how to get it to work?
    Use ScreenRecycler and a network connection. Except for the current 27-inch iMac, no Mac provides video in capability the way a standalone monitor does.

  • How Do I re-install QT PRO?  Sorry if this question has been asked zillions

    My existing QT Pro had a buffering issue and was corrupted, so I un-intstalled it. I want to re-install, but I can only find how to download new QT Pro and pay again. I have my registration #, etc. How do I do this? Thank you.

    Same trouble myself a time ago.
    Launch Quicktime. Under the QuickTime Player menu, enter your registration number in the first pane of QuickTime Preferences. Not "Preferences," but QuickTime Preferences.
    Hope this gets you up and running.

  • I believe this question has been asked, but I missed it.

    How do I transfer my revel picture to Light Room?
    Mary Scheele

    Mary-
    The lightroom plugin allows publishing directly to Revel, but there is not a direct way to get photos from Revel to Lightroom currently. You can export photos from Revel to your computer and then open them in Lightroom, but can't open them in Lightroom directly out of Revel. Some users have asked for a two way interface, so we have communicated this with product management for consideration.

    When is Lion going to be released?

    Hello again:
    Since this thread is useless, I'll violate the TOU myself and respond.
    Apparently we share a common language.  In Wisconsin and, I suspect, much of the English-speaking world……..
    Inquisitive fits your original post.
    Speculation would be any response that your "inquisitiveness" generated.
    My post was a message to anyone else reading your "inquisitive" post that a response would violate the TOU.  Apple takes the TOU quite seriously - as many have found out in the past.

  • Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash.  How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder?  I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

    Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash.  How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder?  I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

    Also, when I do try to drag it out of the Trash to put it back into Applications (on the Finder sidebar), it asks me to authenticate with the administration password.  I enter it, and then a window appears saying that I can't do that because I do not have permission to modify iTunes.  Please help.
